Trenton-Mercer Airport Sees Passenger Surge For Frontier Airlines With Frontier Airlines promoting low fares and less stress than a trip to airports in Philadelphia or Newark, Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) is becoming a busy spot. A report from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) covering the 12-month period ending March 31, 2015, shows Trenton-Mercer serving 394,815 passengers, a 105 percent increase over the previous year. The FAA also reports that Frontier made over $33 million at TTN last year, a 98 percent increase over the previous year. TNN ranks fourth in New Jersey and 19th among the Eastern Region’s 59 commercial service airports in terms of the number of passengers using the facility. In commenting on the FAA report, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes expressed his optimism for the future of the airport and for the continuing economic growth of the county: “I believe this confirms, once and for all, that there is an overwhelming demand for commercial passenger service here and it is finally being met. It also demonstrates that this is a very viable market for any airline willing to make a commitment here.” Frontier is currently the only commercial carrier at TTN. Along with other lowcost carriers, Frontier has recently been under fire for a number of cost-cutting, revenue-enhancing measures, ranging from adding extra seats and tightening legroom, charging extra for carry-on bags and snacks, low percentages of on-time flights, and relatively high numbers of passenger complaints. Mr. Hughes downplayed the criticism as a normal part of doing business and emphasized the competitiveness of the commercial airline business and the adaptability required to succeed. “Passengers are starting to demand more. Frontier will have to make decisions to ensure that they make themselves profitable.” The Mercer County executive feels confident that the TTN-Frontier collaboration will be a viable, profitable one into the future. “They go to places where they can fill seats in their planes and you’ve got to respect that. They are finding TrentonMercer to be a great place for their business.” From Trenton-Mercer, Frontier currently flies direct flights to 11 destinations. Its Continued on Page 8

Princeton Professor Wins Nobel Prize

Princeton University economics professor Angus Deaton has won the 2015 Nobel Prize in economics, it was announced on Monday. Mr. Deaton, the Dwight D. Eisenhower Professor of International Affairs and a professor of economics and international affairs at the University’s Woodrow Wilson School, was informed of the honor with a 6:10 a.m. telephone call from Stockholm, home to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. “People keep congratulating me today, and I keep thinking, for what?,” Mr. Deaton joked at a press conference Monday afternoon. “I’m slowly getting used to it.” The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences goes to Mr. Deaton for his work in “consumption, poverty, and welfare,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy. Well known for his contributions to understanding consumption at the individual level and in aggregate, he is the author of several books on economics including The Great Escape: Health, Wealth and the Origins of Inequality (Princeton University Press 2013), which was recommended by Bill Gates, “if you want to learn about why human welfare overall has gone up so much over time.” “The consumption of goods and services is a fundamental part of people’s welfare. The Laureate, Angus Deaton, has deepened our understanding of different aspects

of consumption,” the Nobel committee said. “His research concerns issues of immense importance for human welfare, not least in poor countries. Deaton’s research has greatly influenced both practical policymaking and the scientific community. By emphasizing the links between individual consumption decisions and outcomes for the whole economy, his work has helped transform modern microeconomics, macroeconomics and development economics.” Richardson Auditorium was filled with colleagues of Mr. Deaton, students, University officials, and members of the press. University president Christopher L. Eisgruber hailed Mr. Deaton, who is a native of Scotland, as “a leader not only in

his field but on our campus” and “a great economist and a great Princetonian.” Cecilia Rouse, Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School, praised him as “a devoted teacher known to push students to be better than they thought they were.” Janet Currrie, the University’s Henry Putnam Professor of Economics and Public Affairs and director of the Center for Health and Well-Being, is a former student of Mr. Deaton. Asked Monday by The New York Times what kind of dinner companion Mr. Deaton might be, she said she described him as “enormously funny, witty, well read, frighteningly erudite, and very good company.” Continued on Page 7

Hospital Site Cleanup Underway But Area Residents Have Concerns On Tuesday morning at 7 a.m., trucks began hauling away crushed concrete from the AvalonBay construction site on Witherspoon Street, where rental units are being built at the former site of the University Medical Center at Princeton. The town’s engineering director Bob Kiser reported at a meeting of Princeton Council Monday night that he had met with the developer that morning and plans for site remediation were put into place.

Originally, 30 trucks were to be used each day to remove the materials. A revised plan calls for 10 — at least for now. “They will see how it goes and then perhaps increase the number of trucks depending on how it proceeds,” Mr. Kiser said, adding that the process would be monitored by the engineering department and the local police. It could take two to three months to complete the cleanup, he Continued on Page 10

MOBILIZING TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE: At a press conference Monday at Hinds Plaza, government officials and members of the clergy were joined by citizens concerned about the rise of gun violence in this country . The group is pressuring New Jersey senators to override Governor Chris Christie’s recent veto of a bill that would have required anyone seeking a gun permit to notify local law enforcement if they are attempting to have their mental health records expunged . Mayor Liz Lempert, shown here at the microphone, introduced State Senate President Stephen M . Sweeney, who is pictured between Senator Linda Greenstein and the Reverend Bob Moore of the Coalition for Peace Action . Mr . Sweeney said the governor’s veto of the “common sense” gun safety legislation was done to placate conservative voters . Reverend Moore said, “Let us put partisan politics aside and put the protection of the public from gun violence first — for at least one day .” The override vote will take place October 22 .

moments before soon became a crowd of 100 or more clapping to the rhythms, punctuated by castanets and rapid-fire clacking of shoes on the pavement. All were enjoying the lively, colorful performance — proud dancers in swirling bright dresses, with sweeping scarves and capes — of Lisa Botalico and her Spanish dance students. Grabbing the spectators’ attention and exciting her students and audiences, in Princeton, throughout the area and beyond, has been a passionate priority for Ms. Botalico for most of her life.

Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre in 2000 as a guest artist, and joined the company as principal dancer in 2001. As associate artistic director of Alborada, she has choreographed numerous company dances and created and directed El Sueno (a Spanish dance ballet based on the story of the Nutcracker). She has performed critically acclaimed solo pieces with the company at theaters throughout New Jersey and on NJN Images/Imagine, most notably the 2009 Emmy Awardwinning documentary The Spanish Guitar. She dances regularly in the tablao at Spain Inn II in Clinton. “As a solo flamenco artist,” Ms. Botalico reflected, “I am particularly moved by the flamenco music called Solea, which derives from the word soledad, meaning loneliness. Improvising with the The busy choreographer-danc- guitar and flamenco singer gives Continued on Next Page er-teacher described some of the sources of her inspiration and success, all based on her “unwavering belief that Spanish Dance, especially flamenco, is a celebration of life, and everyone is welcome to celebrate their lives with me! Since flamenco is traditionally a familial and communal dance, my classes are open. Students get used to being watched and are therefore ready to perform for the public. Flamenco can be performed just about anywhere, so we are able to reach out to the public in many forums such as senior centers, outdoor festivals, and private functions. Flamenco simply delights the public!” The 20 minute demonstration at Festival Cultural Latino epitomized Ms. Botalico’s dynamic dual roles as performer and teacher. A contingent of five young dancers performed the Tanguillo and a dramatic Paso Doble with capes and fans. Dressed in bright red and black with a red rose atop her head, Ms. Botalico, accompanied by adults and children, performed Sevillanas and then a Rumba Flamenca, with Ms. Botalico providing a dramatic climactic solo. This dancer-choreographerteacher’s extensive career on stage includes a nationwide tour as artistic director and principal dancer of La Compania Folklorica Latina under the auspices of the National Theatre for the Performing Arts. She has performed with legendary flamenco stars Maria Alba, Jose Molina, Manolo Rivera, Orlando Romero, Victorio and Carmen Salao. Variously described on her website, as “the essence of fiery passion” and “a saucy one-woman fiesta,” Ms. Botalico in one performance “had the crowd on its feet, clapping in rhythm because of the audacious display of drama emanating from her being” and, in another, critic and playwright Mario Fratti of Il Progresso described how “she made the stage tremble.” Ms. Botalico danced with the

Flamenco Flourishes Continued from Preceding Page

me the opportunity to discover spontaneous emotions unique to every performance.” Inspirational Teacher Ms. Botalico and her husband, Joel Rudin, a violist, have lived in Princeton since 1998. In 1999 she founded the children’s Spanish dance program at the Arts Council, where she currently teaches several levels of children’s classes as well as classes for adults. She also teaches at the Princeton Dance and Theater Studio, the Dance Corner and Drum Dance and Learning Center. As artist-in-residence at the Arts Council last year, she collaborated with musicians, visual artist Libby Ramage, and 23 dancers, ages 10 to 69, to create a unique performance happening based on “a shared journey exploring the themes of passion, aggression, and hope.” To sustain the highest caliber of professional performance and also the most successful teaching simultaneously is an achievement that can elude even the greatest artists, but Ms. Botalico sees no conflict between her professional career and her teaching. “Teaching is a complete joy for me,” she declared. “I find it a source of inspiration on so many levels. I know from personal experience how flamenco can be transformational, allowing the artist to explore and discover selfexpression. “Teaching flamenco allows me to celebrate with my students their own unique qualities no matter their age or body type. It is a joy to see a shy student blossom with the power of flamenco and to see overzealous students channel their exuberance.” Besides her numerous young students, Ms. Botalico also enjoys working with adults in all phases of life. “Flamenco also accepts dancers of all ages, because it does not require the flexibility of other dance forms,” she explained. “Older flamenco dancers bring their life experiences to their dance, channeling the deep emotions of both joy and sadness that are so integral to flamenco.” Teaching and performance complement each other for Ms. Botalico, and in all her performing and teaching she manifests her beliefs about education and life. “My own performances are enhanced by the enrichment I receive physically and emotionally from teaching. Teachers must look into themselves. I must be sure to follow my own example by demonstrating and dancing with them in class.” Constantly working on new projects with the Alborada Dance Theatre, Ms. Bortalico is looking forward to a new holiday family production in celebration of Three Kings’ Day, which will be presented at the Jersey Shore Arts Center on December 12 and at Hamilton Stage in Rahway on January 3, 2016. Later next year Ms. Botalico and Alborada have plans to collaborate with dancers from Argentina and Brazil in a new cross-cultural program. Anyone who thinks that Ms. Botalico, having “done it all” in the world of flamenco and Spanish dance, might be ready to rest on her laurels or at least take a short break, has never encountered this formidable artist in person or performance. “I have now taught a generation of flamenco dancers who have come from diverse backgrounds,” she said. “Therefore, my mission is to establish a Flamenco Youth Ensemble, giving young dancers a forum to create and perform their own performance pieces. I am looking forward to nurturing flamenco’s ambassadors into the future.” Those student “ambassadors” will have Lisa Botalico, the ultimate ambassador of flamenco, as their role model. —Donald Gilpin

In his own remarks, Mr. Deaton thanked the University, where he has taught for more than 30 years, for providing him with a place to work “without having to worry about all the extraneous things that go on in universities.” He had high praise for the Woodrow Wilson School. “Nobel Laureates don’t usually come from public policy schools,” he said, but the Woodrow Wilson School “really believes in academic excellence.” Mr. Deaton’s Nobel Prize in economics makes him the fourth from the University to receive the honor. Christopher Sims was awarded the prize in 2011, Paul Krugman in 2008, and Daniel Kahneman in 2002. A graduate of Cambridge University who taught there and at the University of Bristol before joining the faculty at Princeton, Mr. Deaton described himself as the son of a coal miner with an interest in academics. His working class upbringing “certainly gives a perspective on the world that you don’t necessarily get otherwise,” he said. He is married to Anne Case, the University’s Alexander Stewart 1886 Professor of Economics and Public Affairs. Mr. Deaton’s current research focuses on the determinants of health in rich and poor countries, as well as on the measurement of poverty in India and around the world. He also maintains a longstanding interest in the analysis of household surveys. He said he feels passionately about measurement, describing it as “the

center of what I do — trying to be honest and accurate about measurement.” During a question-andanswer session in which queries had been called in from as far as Italy and Latin America, Mr. Deaton said he is worried about inequality and its effects on politics and climate change. “I do worry about a world in which the rich get to write the rules that the rest of us have to obey,” he said. This year’s Nobel Prize is worth eight million Swedish kronors, approximately $970,000. Asked what he plans to do with the money, Mr. Deaton said he hadn’t had time to think about it. He joked that while he knew his name was on the list of candidates, he thought the early morning call to inform him of his win might be a joke. “But they were very keen to make sure I did not think it was a prank,” he said, adding that when he heard the Swedish accents, he knew it was real. —Anne Levin

ing. This program is part of a continuum for middle school, high school and beyond. However, Ms. Clark asserts that the IB PYP prepares PJS graduates for success as they continue their education. “Our students have an edge because we are now an integral part of a global community providing them with multicultural perspectives.” As an IB World School, Princeton Junior School j oi n s m or e t h a n 2,0 0 0 schools around the globe that have adopted this approach to elementary education. A recent study found that students in the IB Primary Years Program outperformed non-IB students in mathematical literacy, reading, narrative writing, and expository writing. According to Ms. Clark, it took more than three years to earn authorization and the program has already had a positive impact on Princeton Junior School’s student body. ———

busiest routes are, in order of popularity, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago, and Raleigh-Durham, followed by Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Tampa, Fort Myers, Saint Augustine and, on a seasonal basis, Detroit and Minneapolis-St. Paul. Frontier, whose company slogan is “Low Fares Done Right,” started service between Trenton-Mercer and

Orlando in November 2012, and expanded from there to its other destinations. Noting that Frontier currently uses both available gates at TTN, Mr. Hughes explained that “If we had more gate space probably we could attract additional business.” The county has for many years looked to expand the airport and attract more commercial business, but has encountered strong

opposition from local suburban residents. Mr. Hughes was upbeat about future prospects, regardless of the vicissitudes of the airline industry. Even if Frontier, which recently renewed its lease at TTN until 2018, were to move out, “We could find another airline,” Mr. Hughes declared. “We’re a very competitive county and we have a competitive product.” Looking into the more dis-

tant future Mr. Hughes says he “would love to see a new airport in Mercer County — something that will make a real difference. This is a decision we’ll have to make carefully.” Because of the difficulty in driving to Newark and Philadelphia, Mr. Hughes says he sees “unlimited potential” in developing Mercer County’s capacity for commercial air travel. On S eptember 29 Mr. Hughes announced completion of the second phase of a four-phase rehabilitation of three runways at TrentonMercer, including new pavement, new lighting, and new markings. These improvements will increase safety and energy efficiency while reducing electrical costs with the replacement of the existing incandescent lighting system with LED taxiway edge lights, which are also easier to see in inclement weather. New perimeter protection fencing, upgrading the fence to a height of ten feet with one foot of barbed wire on top, is also being installed during the next four months. along with several airport access gate upgrades. —Donald Gilpin

Amid nationwide controversy over relationships between police and the communities they serve, many p ol ice d ep ar t m e nt s are beginning to adopt officerworn cameras, as a means of improving those relationships. The Princeton Police Depar tment is cur rently applying for a state grant and meeting with vendors to evaluate cameras on the market, but many questions and concerns remain about their use. Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter is moving ahead on this initiative. “I am completely in favor of body cameras as is the PBA [Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association],” he said. “The cameras will increase confidence in the Police Department and clear officers of false complaints, while documenting police-civilian encounters.” But Chief Sutter emphasized the need for a cautious and thorough investigation of potential problems with these surveillance devices. “There are a lot of questions yet to be answered with regard to policy,” Mr. Sutter explained. “Training and policy will be a major component of the technology.” One of his concerns involves the question of an individual’s right to privacy and open public records. “This is a major concern being voiced nationally regarding these cameras. We encounter people in very personal situations. We certainly do not want to compromise a citizen’s privacy in

Police Blotter

any way. This is one of the policy concerns that needs to be addressed from a legislative standpoint with regard to public records. Will this footage be public? How do you protect privacy?” Another potential problem, according to Mr. Sutter, is that video footage does not always capture what the wearer is actually seeing from his or her perspective. “Technology issues can make a video falsely depict what an officer was actually viewing.” Other complaints have been voiced about possible inhibiting influences on the police officers when doing their job. “Some have argued,” Mr. Sutter explained, “that cameras can cause officers to hesitate with regard to the use of force when appropriate.” Mr. Sutter will be studying the available evidence on both sides of the debate before implementing a body cam program in Princeton. “I am reviewing all appropriate studies on these issues,” he stated. As the Princeton Police Department continues to work out plans for its use of body cams seeking to avoid pitfalls and maximize advantages to Police Department and community, Mr. Sutter emphasized that this important initiative would not transform the essential nature of his department’s work. “I do not see these cameras changing our job. We will continue to do what we do on a daily basis.” —Donald Gilpin

said, and in some instances the hauling of materials to a location near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, may extend past 2 p.m. and include some Saturdays. Construction work was stopped at the site after crushed concrete from the old hospital building tested positive for PCBs. Further testing was done by the New Jers ey D epar t ment of Environmental protection, and materials came up negative for PCBs. But PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydro c arb ons ) were de tected to exceed residential standards. AvalonBay is required to cap the site in order to remediate it, using clean soil, crushed stone, concrete slabs, and other materials. Asked if the plan took into consideration the children walking near the site on their way to and from Community Park School, Mr. Kiser said he had met with the school principal and the school is comfortable with the plan. “We’ll make sure all operations are done in a swift manner,” he said.

Mailbox, page 11) . Paul Driscoll, who lives on Harris Road, is among those questioning why groundwater is not being tested. “They did find in their test results that came back from the DEP that mercury was detected above the impact of groundwater standards,” he said. “But apparently there won’t be any testing of the groundwater because there wasn’t any to test during the drought. But now that we have had rain, would it be possible to test it?” Mr. Driscoll added that EcolSciences, the company retained by AvalonBay to do environmental testing, found PAHs in 2011. “I think a lot of us feel, why not take that extra step and check the groundwater to see if anything can be done? All along, AvalonBay at different points has refused to do testing. Why aren’t we testing the groundwater for mercury? Mercury is very serious. The other concern is the demolition itself, which cou ld have contributed to further contamination. How has this impacted the surrounding neighborhood?” Mr. Kiser said that testing of groundwater was attempted during the period of drought this summer, and there was no groundwater to test. “It was felt that this type of contamination isn’t the type that would migrate down into the groundwater, unless it was a very high level, and groundwater was not previously found,” he said when asked why further testing of the water has not been done. “It was checked before, when they removed the underground storage tanks. They couldn’t find any groundwater when they dug down, or evidence of high groundwater, in the area. So they have determined that it’s not a risk. We have discussed it with our consultant, Ira Whitman, and he does not have any objection.” —Anne Levin

Jefferson/Moore/Harris/Carnahan Residents Presuming to Speak for Witherspoon/Jackson

To the Editor: Appearing in the October 7 Mailbox was “An Open Letter to Mayor and Council Concerning Jefferson/Moore/ Harris/Carnahan Neighborhood” written and signed by 46 people that seems to imply that residents of the Witherspoon/Jackson (WJ) community are in support of particular aspects of the letter regarding the development of affordable housing sites referenced in its content. Nothing could be further from the truth and what is more startling is that the letter makes a veiled attempt to both speak for and represent the people and the opinion of the WJ community without one attached signature from anyone who lives here, and a pre-emptive warning strike to mayor and Council that the decisions made with regard to the development of the Franklin Avenue lot site will be met with strong opposition and impact future electability. Since when did any consortium or group of people speak for the WJ community other than those of us who live here? Certainly not in 2010 when property taxes doubled and tripled in some cases, forcing families to sell, and negatively impacting racial diversity and the socio-economic mix of a proud neighborhood. While those who live within close proximity to the AvalonBay development share concerns on the impact it will have on the neighborhood, the Franklin Avenue parking site is situated in the center of town and in the only area that historically has promoted affordability and cultural diversity. The fact that the letter also recalls that Jackson Street (where only people of color lived) was replaced by Palmer Square residences is laughable for two reasons — it’s not near the Jefferson Road and Moore Street neighborhood, and it happened over 50 years ago — and while absolutely relevant to the African American community, has not now or ever held any significance to those who live on Jefferson Road, Moore Street, Harris Road, or Carnahan Place. Mayor and Council have responsibility for all of the citizens of this town, and the decisions they make must represent a broad consensus of all the people who live here. To bend, bow, or break for the wishes of a few, who no matter how packaged or presented, want only to promote their own agenda would be unfair and discriminatory. In the coming months, Princeton along with other towns in New Jersey will receive their “fair share” affordable housing obligation. It will be up to leadership to ensure that what comes after will allow people of low income, immigrants, and the disadvantaged the ability to live and work here, educate their children here, and not be victimized or negatively impacted by exclusionary zoning. LEIgHTON NEWLIN Birch Avenue Editor’s Note: The letter in question came from 46 residents in the Jefferson/Moore/Harris/Carnahan neighborhood. The names were given but not the street names. Space constraints made it impossible to run 46 names and street names, Town Topics policy being that each resident’s street name be included.

Steps Should Be Taken to Make Sure Avalon Site Is Cleaned Up, Not Covered Up

To the Editor: The Town Topics story on environmental hazards at the former hospital site (“Test Results give green Light to AvalonBay,” Sept. 30, page one) may have given the impression that the site received a clean bill of health. It did not. The site is contaminated and must be remediated. AvalonBay proposes to “cap” the site, perform biennial inspections, and advise in the deed that the site is contaminated and under continuing NJ-DEP scrutiny. Is this a green light? “Jersey yellow” would seem more apt. Here is the background: AvalonBay hired a contractor to haul away stockpiled debris known as “Reworked Site Materials,” a demolition amalgam of crushed concrete, asphalt, and soil. The contractor had the amalgam tested, PCBs and PAHs were found, and a New Jersey DEP case file was opened. Because AvalonBay had spread Reworked Site Material as fill throughout the site, detailed testing was performed, not just on the stockpiled materials but on samples from fill material buried onsite. Results showed

To the Editor: Council candidate Lynn Lu Irving has the inside story on affordable housing in Princeton because Ms. Irving’s mother, Joan Liang, lives in Senior Affordable Housing at Spruce Circle. Ms. Irving visits her mother daily, and through the years, has become a knowledgeable expert on the importance of affordable housing as well as finding solutions to the issues that affect the residents. The residents of Spruce Circle are Ms. Irving’s and Ms. Liang’s friends. Ms. Liang was also a close personal friend of the late, beloved Evelyn Voorhees, who was a commissioner on the Housing Authority of Princeton, and worked at Spruce Circle. Ms Liang sang in Chinese at the memorial service and garden dedication for Ms. Voorhees which took place at Spruce Circle in late July 2013. Ms. Irving greatly admires and supports the camaraderie that exists between Spruce Circle residents and the fact that they are always willing to help each other. She helps those who are infirm, in need of a meal or a friend and she often drives residents to church, medical appointments, and shopping. Ms. Irving is a Council candidate who not only talks the talk, where the welfare of Princeton residents is concerned, but, more importantly, walks the walk. It is with admiration and pleasure that I plan to vote for Ms. Lynn Lu Irving for Princeton Council and I urge you to do the same. ESTHER MILLS Birch Avenue

Council Member’s Remarks About Seniors Reported Oct. 7 Were Taken Out of Context Thanks to Princeton Community for Supporting To the Editor: I would like to clarify the characterization of a question Witherspoon Middle School’s Super Saturday

I raised about Princeton’s shifting age demographics during a Council meeting in last week’s Town Topics (“PSRC Director Comments On Council’s Questions About Proposed Expansion,” Oct. 7, page one). I feel my remarks were taken out of context and appear to be hostile to older people, which was not my intention. Susan Hoskins, executive director of the Princeton Senior Resource Center, cited data from the latest census showing that the average age of Princeton residents has risen and that the Princeton community has become older than average. This prompted my question about why she thought this was so, and I said that I hoped we were keeping our town attractive to young people and young families rather than “becoming an old community.” The question was answered as if it were out of the blue rather than in response to the demographic data she reported. Especially given that our population includes a significant number of students from our institutions of higher education, I feel it’s reasonable to question news that our community is aging more rapidly than others. As a grandmother who hopes to live here for many more years, greatly appreciating and supporting all we do for the older population, I nevertheless believe our community should also strive to be welcoming to young people, as it was once welcoming to me and my young family.

Responding to Debate Among Four Candidates for NJ State Assembly

M�� A�� E�� P��

To the Editor: I recently had the opportunity to attend a debate among the four candidates for state assembly in New Jersey’s 16th legislative district. While I am grateful for all of the candidates for taking the time to make their views known, the result was a clear contrast in many areas between Democratic candidates Andrew Zwicker and Maureen Vella and Republican incumbents Jack Ciattarelli and Donna Simon. Zwicker and Vella supported returning funding to our broken pension system so that our state’s credit can be restored, while Ciattarelli touted his plan that transfers much of the state’s debt onto the shoulders of municipal governments. On the issue of gun violence, the Democrats argued for common sense gun control measures, including expanded background checks and longer waiting periods, which could help prevent the sort of mass shootings that have occurred far too frequently in recent years. Simon, who has received an A-plus rating from the NRA, chose instead to advocate for harsher sentencing measures that would do nothing to deter the murderers responsible for these tragedies. On the environment, Zwicker, a Princeton university physicist, spoke strongly for investments in renewable energy while his opponents suggested a more cautious approach of waiting for other states and nations to take the lead. Mr. Ciattarelli grudgingly acknowledged that human

activity was probably a factor in global climate change, but his argument that renewable energy technology will improve significantly in the coming years, and is therefore not worth significant investment now, is deeply misguided. Our state should be pushing hard for innovation and should be a leader, not a follower, in this area. The debate brought home to me how key the differences are between the candidates and how important it is to support new voices with new ideas. you can find the debate on the website of the Princeton League of Women Voters.

no problematic PCBs. However, PAH levels exceeded residential exposure levels in almost 75 percent of the samples and even exceeded industrial standards in some. The PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) involved are compounds that have been identified as causing cancer, genetic mutations, and birth defects. The tests also found levels of arsenic, nickel, and vanadium above residential standards and mercury levels that exceeded groundwater impact standards. AvalonBay’s consultant EcolSciences, Inc., a licensed site remediation company, performed the tests and recommended capping in various ways, including one to two feet of clean fill in open areas and either concrete or special materials in other areas, such as the playground. EcolSciences proposes no further evaluation of potential groundwater hazards. This is not a feel good story. During the hearing process, community members and their experts raised repeated concerns about environmental hazards. Thanks to community pressure, Princeton’s Council included its own consultant’s recommended testing requirements for soil and crushed concrete in the final Developer’s Agreement. But, AvalonBay sued, arguing that it was being asked to do more than legally required. The suit led to a settlement approved by Princeton’s Council that dropped the testing requirements but added another dust monitor. The upshot: Thanks to a developer’s aggressive opposition to testing, a site in a residential neighborhood within walking and breathing distance of three public schools is now contaminated. The capping remedy ignores the problematic mercury findings and proposes to handle issues with utilities buried in contaminated fill by relying on monitoring when repairs are needed. In my opinion, AvalonBay should be asked to excavate and remove the contaminated material. Residents should not be asked to live with a toxic repository next door. The value of capping depends on consistent and reliable monitoring, and New Jersey does not have a good track record with monitoring. Having resisted testing, AvalonBay surely assumed the risks that follow from failure to test. Our elected officials should take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that this site is cleaned up, not covered up. VIRgINIA KERR Jefferson Road

Looking Ahead to the Friends of the Library Book Sale on Trollope’s Bicentenary Book love is your pass to the greatest, the purest, the most perfect pleasure …. The habit of reading is the only joy in which there us no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade. —Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) he quotes about “book love” and “the habit of reading” spearheading this introduction to the upcoming Friends of the Library Book Sale surfaced while I was gazing into the sprawling immensity of Anthony Trollope’s beard. Of all the views of Trollopian facial hair shown in an online gallery of images, this prodigious display most fittingly suggests the depth and range of the event that begins Friday morning at ten in the Community Room. Seen here in full flower compared to the more crafted and contained incarnations, the author’s beard spreads hugely east and west, a veritable landscape, offering in its sheer breadth not only an evocation of the scope of the sale but a definitive image of its owner’s productivity, at rough count 40-plus novels, 15 story collections, and 15 works of non-fiction. Henry James, for one, thought Trollope’s great good thing needed trimming. Yes, he was “strong, genial, and abundant,” but he “published too much,” his “fecundity was prodigious”; his “fertility was gross, importunate.” James found Trollope’s focused devotion to his labors both admirable and appalling. Having once crossed the Atlantic in his company, the Master marveled at the “plain persistence that it was in the power of the eminent novelist to give on that occasion. The season was unpropitious, the vessel overcrowded, the voyage detestable; but Trollope shut himself up in his cabin every morning for a purpose which, on the part of a distinguished writer who was also an invulnerable sailor, could only be communion with the muse. He drove his pen as steadily on the tumbling ocean as in Montague Square; and as his voyages were many, it was his practice before sailing to come down to the ship and confer with the carpenter, who was instructed to rig up a rough writing table in his small sea-chamber.” Can you see Henry James conferring with the ship’s carpenter about a sturdy writing table? For that matter, can you imagine any wordsmith of any era driven enough to do it? What better patron saint for a festival of written works than a writer who braved time and tide and had his cabin desk made to order? Trollope’s Big Year More to the point, the year 2015 marks Anthony Trollope’s bicentenary. In 2012, the celebratory fanfares hailing Charles Dickens’s 200th began in late 2011. Yet here we are almost ten months into 2015 and the fanfares for Trollope’s big year have been few and far between. Just this week there was Charles McGrath’s New York Times Book Review piece (“Trollope Uncut”), with its image of the author, the stub of a cigar poking out from the depths of a slightly less luxuriant beard than the one shown here. But the subject was not

the celebration of 200 years so much as the restoration of the 65,000 words that Trollope, wielding the clippers himself, had trimmed from the last of the Palliser novels, The Duke’s Children (1880). Books as Family Among the countless books I saw during the two decades I was in charge of donations for the Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale, from the shabbiest, dustiest, and most unprepossessing to works of great value, there were certain volumes that had clearly been lived with, loved, absorbed, pondered over, and taken comfort in, books that still retained the atmosphere of the home they once had been a part of; you could tell simply by turning the pages which ones had such a history. As soon as Trollope loomed as this week’s probable subject, I went to our living room

Here, it turned out, were my father’s notes for a paper on Trollope. When you consider how self-consciously, precisely distinctive his handwriting is, the very image of his identity, it was like finding a faded photograph of my thirty-something father, or a handwritten caption to the small framed snapshot of him from the same period (our Siamese cat on his lap) that I’ve always kept close by on my desk. In that neatly styled hand that never varied, from student papers to the bank book he kept the month of his death, my father had sketched in ink an outline of the novel divided into Characters, Plot, Setting, Type (“author’s style”), with subheads such as “identification with people you know,” “universality,” “proportion,” “reflections of the time, comedy of manners, author’s bias, and peculiarities (facetious names, rambling, easy going, quiet humor, touch

book case, stood on tip toe, and took down from the topmost shelf a handful of small books that have been members of the family since my father’s graduate school days. By “small,” I mean I was able to span seven volumes with one hand when bringing them down for a look. These Oxford World Classics editions of Trollope’s novels have “always been there,” as it were. They were presences on the living room and study shelves I grew up with long before I had any more than a vague awareness of their content. When my father sold virtually his entire library to a book dealer before moving to Florida, only the Trollopes survived, along with Sherlock Holmes, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and a few inscribed volumes from his days as director of the Indiana University Writers Conference. How is it that the humble Oxford Trollopes, half of them with faded spines, made the cut rather than equally small-scale, older and more valuable sets of Dickens and Scott? One answer was the folded piece of paper, browned and flaking at the edges, inserted in Volume One of Phineas Finn.

of malice, aversions).” In pencil near the bottom of the page are the words “Misc. Love scenes. Weeping.” To see that barely legible “miscellaneous” afterthought, knowing the emotional history of my parents’ marriage, I had to smile and shake my head. Open an old book and look what happens. Book Love Of course you’re unlikely to find the shorthand caption to a marriage every time you open a volume left behind in the remains of a family library or on the table of a library book sale; or for that matter, in one of these deceptively “little” seven-in-onehand Trollopes, which in fact average 560 pages on fine India paper with the type still bright and clear. Patient browsers sooner or later may find some interesting comments written (with pencil, you hope) in the margins of some volume on the sale tables in the Community Room, particularly in a place as writer-scholar-and reader-friendly as Princeton. Other than that scrap of paper, the only

marginal comment my discreet father permitted himself — “Trollope’s charm p. 85 (“gentilesse”) — is written on the map of Barsetshire illustrating the endpapers of Doctor Thorne. In the passage marked on page 85 Mary Thorne has just received a passionate declaration of love from Frank Gresham and is asking herself “What makes a gentleman? What is the inner reality, the spiritualized quintessence of that privilege in the world which men call rank, which forces the thousands and hundreds of thousands to bow down before the few elect? What gives, or can give it, or should give it?” So where’s the “charm” and “gentilesse” in bowing down before the few elect? Did my father consider himself a gentleman? Or was he simply charmed by the idea of a “spiritualized quintessence of that privilege”? Perhaps there’s a clue in the way he embossed his last name in gothic letters on the lower right endpaper in each of the Trollopes. The special hand-press he had made to order must have used up a fair amount of his modest graduate student grant. It does look impressive, you might even say “classy.” Having inherited the hand-press, I’ve stamped most of my own books in the same place, from the Hardy Boys to the Brothers James. On Where You Read An appealing advisory about the most propitious time and place for “book love” and the joy of reading can be found in W. Teignmouth Shore’s introduction to my father’s copy of The Three Clerks: “There is the proper mood and the just environment for the reading as well as for the writing of works of fiction, and there can be no better place for the enjoying of a novel by Anthony Trollope than under a tree in Kensington Gardens of a summer day. Under a tree in the avenue that reaches down from the Round Pond to the Long Water … we see in the distance the dun, redbrick walls of Kensington Palace, where one night princess Victoria was awakened to hear that she was Queen …. Here, to the mind’s eye how easy it is to conjure up ghosts of men in baggy trousers and long flowing whiskers.” At this writing, I can’t tell you how many works by the man with the long flowing whiskers will turn up among the 10,000 books on the tables of the Community Room this weekend. Some Trollopes will be there, you can count on it, even if I have to contribute my copy of The Three Clerks, whose introduction contains a paragraph from Trollope about his devotion to his characters and his task that Henry James must have read: have wandered alone among the rocks and woods, crying at their grief, laughing at their absurdities, and thoroughly enjoying their joy. I have been impregnated with my own creations till it has been my only excitement to sit with the pen in my hand, and drive my team before me at as quick a pace as I could make them travel.” —Stuart Mitchner

Her vision became a reality when the studio opened on September 25. The renovation was the inspiration of Hamilton developer Danny Popkin, founder and president of Modern Recycled Spaces. Interior designer Alirio Pirela, whose Pirela Atelier occupies the front of the building, designed the space. Ms. Longo also added a zen meditation garden, open to her clients throughout the day for reflection or relaxation. “There is plenty of room for outdoor exercise, as Joseph Pilates intended,” she says. “Our goal was to create a warm, welcoming, creative space.

JUST GOT SMARTER

Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart’s fall gallery exhibition will run from October 16 until November 24. The “Off the Canvas” exhibit includes the works of New Jersey artists Donna Payton and Prudence Shapcott. The exhibit’s low-relief and 3-D artwork is an investigation into the liberation of art from its traditional confines. The exhibit’s opening reception is Friday, October 16 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There is also a gallery talk Monday, November 2 from 1 to 2 p.m. Both events are located in Stuart’s Considine Gallery, 1200 Stuart Road. The gallery is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, when school is in session. Prudence Shapcott is an abstract expressionist artist specializing in mixed media and sculpture. As a British African artist, Shapcott’s art reflects her journey across three continents — from abstract masters of the West, Twombly, Rothko, and Picasso, to the rich, colorful textures of Zimbabwe’s Shona people. As a mixed media collage artist, Shapcott uses inspiration from her Christian faith and employs a wide variety of materials: acrylics, watercolor, oil transfer, and wax monotype along with industrial objects such as wire, glass, and plaster recycled from their intended purpose. She lives in Princeton with her husband and two daughters who attend Stuart Country Day School. Donna Payton is currently creating high relief collages as well as installations and photographs, combining recycled objects and natural materials. Payton has received numerous awards and has exhibited in galleries and museums around the country and in New Zealand. She works and lives in Millstone Township. Payton’s Paintskin Series presents paint as a pure mediu m suspended f ree from canvas and stretcher bars. The added repurposed

WILLIAM KENTRIDGE: Internationally renowned South African artist William Kentridge has been selected as a 2015–16 Belknap Visitor in the Humanities by the Council of the Humanities at Princeton University. As part of his visit, Kentridge will deliver a public lecture today, October 14 at 5 p.m. in McCosh 10 on the PU campus. The talk’s title, “O Sentimental Machine,” stems from the artist’s new multimedia installation currently on view at the Istanbul Biennial. The work, installed on Büyükada Island, was conceived in part as a response to the history of Leon Trotsky’s exile in Istanbul from 1929 to 1933, when he resided in a mansion on the island. To celebrate his visit, the PU Art Museum will feature two works by the artist in a special installation: the print “Atlas Procession I” (2000), an ironic recasting of triumphal procession friezes in classical architecture, which was purchased by the museum in 2002; and the collage “Typewriter IV” (2011), a deeply saturated ink drawing of a typewriter on found paper, on loan from the Marian Goodman Gallery.

Gidion’s Knot

THEATER REVIEW

Theatre Intime Presents the Parent-Teacher Conference From Hell In “Gidion’s Knot,” Johnna Adams’s Dark, Penetrating Psycho-Drama

ifth grade teacher Heather Clark (Hope Kean) is about to get a visit from a parent she doesn’t expect. Eleven-year-old Gidion has committed suicide after bringing home notice of his suspension from school, but his mother Corryn Fell (Ugonna Nwabueze) is determined to keep her scheduled appointment with his teacher. Filled with feelings of anger, confusion, guilt, sadness, and frustration, Corryn arrives at Heather’s classroom. She wants to know why Gidion was suspended. She wants to understand why he killed himself. She wants an outlet for her anger and emotions. She wants a target for her revenge. The play takes place in real time as the two women square off over the next 75 minutes. This premise in Johnna Adams’s 2012 two-person drama Gidion’s Knot, playing for one more weekend at Theatre Intime on the Princeton University campus, is complex, interesting and particularly timely for teachers and parents and anyone concerned about troubled children growing up in our violent world. The questions arising in this confrontation between grieving, attacking mother and conscientious, conventional fifth grade teacher are important ones and the dramatic situation lends them a powerful sense of immediacy. The playwriting, however, is a bit too coy and contrived in keeping the audience and Corryn in the dark for the first 40 minutes about the cause of Gidion’s suspension (an explicitly gory account he wrote about wreaking vengeance on his teachers), and other details of Gidion’s life. Was he bullied? Was he the bully? What exactly was the nature of his relationship with the sixth grade boy who may have bullied him? Is this a bad mother? Or a weak teacher? What was the nature of his relationship with his mother, and what was it that actually drove him to go into the garage that afternoon and shoot himself? The universal issues here resonate with increasing urgency in contemporary society: Who is responsible for children and their

actions? Are parents and schools over-protective, suppressing children’s creativity and independence, or not protective enough? How can we best escape from and halt the cycle of violence that seems to have gripped our schools and our country? The undergraduate Theatre Intime company, under the direction of Princeton University senior Victoria Gruenberg, has staged a riveting production. From start to finish Ms. Kean and Ms. Nwabueze stay firmly in character through rapid-fire exchanges, sudden reactions, and frequent shifts of emotion. Ms. Kean’s embattled teacher is understandably nervous and defensive from the start. She stands primly in her carefully tailored blouse and skirt, controlled in her movements, often

retreating when under attack. Ms. Nwabueze’s Corryn is on offense from the start, wounded and angry, unrestrained and full of nervous energy, sarcastic, probing, provoking Heather, moving about the room like a predator harassing its prey. Though they face significant challenges with the depth and intensity of the subject matter and the requisite character stretches of 20-25 years to portray these women, these performers hold the audience’s attention. They win the audience’s sympathy and, for the most part, they establish credibility, though the text is not without its shortcomings that make the actors’ work more difficult. Corryn’s motivations and actions, complex and irrational as they sometimes are,

CLASSROOM CLASH: Corryn (Ugonna Nwabueze), whose 11-year-old son has committed suicide after being suspended from school, confronts his teacher (Hope Kean) in a parentteacher conference fraught with guilt, frustration, and violent emotion in Theatre Intime’s production of Johnna Adams’s “Gidion’s Knot” (2012), playing for one more weekend at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus. Theatre Intime’s production of Johnna Adams’s “Gidion’s Knot” (2012) will run on October 15-17, with performances at 8 p.m. Thursday and Friday and on Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus. Call (609) 258-1742 or visit www.theatreintime.org for information.

are nonetheless believable, as this distraught woman struggles to come to terms with her grief. The character of Heather, however, and her motivations for withholding information yet staying in the room and continuing the confrontation with Corryn are more contrived, at times less convincing. Particularly problematic, as the play seems to lose focus and direction towards the end, is Heather’s weeping for her dying cat juxtaposed with Corryn’s mourning for her son. The tone is confusing. Not surprisingly, some of the opening night audience laughed at the incongruity of the situation, but laughter hardly seemed an appropriate response to the suffering of the two main characters in this otherwise entirely serious, realistic play. Wesley Cornwell’s realistic, painstakingly detailed unit set is a masterpiece, deftly depicting a vibrant fifth-grade classroom. Complete with bulletin board, blackboard, instructive posters — “Parts of Speech’” “Goals for the Week,” “Order of Operations,” ”Gods, Heroes, Monsters,” — a list of Greek heroes on the board, overflowing wastebasket, industrial carpet in colorful square panels, large teacher’s desk, colorful groups of cubbies for the children and an impressive array of student-crafted mobiles hanging above (including an ominous abundance of guns and swords). The Gordian Knot, a legend associated with Alexander the Great, is a term now used to describe a particularly difficult problem. Though the original Gordian Knot could not be untangled or untied, Alexander supposedly took out his sword and cut right through it, thus proving himself worthy to rule Phrygia. idion’s knot here, however, is less simple, far more perplexing to overcome. Ms. Adams’s dark, disturbing, powerful play leaves many more questions than answers for its audience. Ms. Gruenberg, Ms. Kean, and Ms. Nwabueze make sure that those questions resonate in a manner and context that audiences will not soon forget. —Donald Gilpin

Vocal Ensemble Gallicantus Performs Music in the Round at Richardson

erforming arts organizations have long been exploring ways to better connect with audiences, and listeners often wonder what is really going on with performers onstage during a concert. Princeton University Concerts has taken a step toward answering all these questions with a newly-created “Performances Up Close” series bringing musicians and audiences together in an intimate space. This past Sunday afternoon saw the renowned vocal ensemble Gallicantus performing within a circle of 150 of their closest friends in Richardson Auditorium. In this unique concert arena, the audience could hear every nuance from both singers and music, and the members of Gallicantus could easily gauge the impact of their performance. The only thing wrong with this concept was that despite two performances on Sunday afternoon, only 300 or so people could fit onstage and hear the finely-polished vocal precision of these five singers. The second Sunday afternoon performance was introduced as part of a “series about connections” — between performers and music, audience and stage, and in collaboration with local artist Marsha Levin-Rojer, between music and art. Suspended over the singers was “Rondo,” a three-dimensional drawing made of aluminum wire and shaped to represent the movement of sound waves in the air. Ms. Levin-Rojer created this piece as part of “The Musical Line,” which will be on display for each of the “Performances Up Close.” Founded in 2008, the six-member Gallicantus (five performed on Sunday) focuses on music of the Renaissance period, particularly exploring the members’ shared love of communicating text. The ensemble’s Princeton connection is through director Gabriel Crouch, director of choral activities at Princeton University. On Sunday afternoon, counter-tenor David Allsopp, tenors Nick Todd and Christopher Watson, bass William Gaunt, and baritone Gabriel Crouch brought the weaving contrapuntal lines of the 16th century to life, combined with the 21st-century harmonic twists of the two contemporary works performed. Gallicantus focused the concert around the mid-16th century Prophetiae Sibyllarum of the Franco-Flemish composer Orlande de Lassus, whose progressive harmonic writing paved the way for the high Renaissance in music. Interspersed among the Prologue and 12 movements of Lassus’s work were two contemporary pieces on the “Sibyll” theme by Princeton University composers Dan Trueman and Dmitri Tymoczko. Lassus was a revolutionary composer in his time and the pieces by Trueman and Tymoczko were equally as innovative in challenging Gallicantus to sing as a finely-tuned choral machine.

The Prologue and first three “Sibyllas” were described by Gallicantus as a model of the 16th-century musica reservata tradition, which revolved around intimate yet ornate chromatic repertory. From the outset, Gallicantus showed solid communication among the singers and perfectly matched vowels which created power in the overall sound. Providing contrast to Lassus’s counterpoint were chants by Hildegard von Bingen, sung from offstage by Mr. Todd and later Mr. Crouch. The shifting chords and chromaticism which were so unusual for the 16th century were expertly handled by Gallicantus, whether singing as a quartet or quintet in the Lassus motets. Taking full advantage of the space and “connections” experience, the singers moved around in their own circle every few pieces, giving audience members a chance to hear different vocal perspectives. Dan Trueman’s 2014 Delphica Gaedhlica addressed Sibyllic texts through three different languages — English, Latin, and Irish. Trueman included microtone tuning in this work, an effect often more easily achieved with voices than instruments and well accomplished by Gallicantus. Beginning with a vocal effect like shimmering glass, Gallicantus built the harmonies with no nicks to the chords or faltering steps, with Mr. Allsopp providing a particular vocal edge to the top of the sound. The middle section of Trueman’s work flowed easily, and the last two lines of the piece especially showed how five singers can match the power of a much larger chorus through expert tuning and vocal production. Dmitri Tymoczko’s 2015 Prophetiae Sibyllarum approached the text in a chordal, yet challenging and demanding manner, drawing on the ancient practice of incorporating the title of the verse into the music (with titles referring to American cities). Tymoczko’s six-section work took full advantage of Mr. Gaunt’s low bass voice, and explored several genres within this one piece. “Sibylla Chicagonis” was jazzier, with driving rhythms and relentless accents, while “Sibylla Washingtonii” showed the open chords and spatial sound of early American music. The final two verse settings were particularly challenging for Gallicantus in the rapid-fire text and minimalistic textures, but the ensemble did not miss a beat. allicantus is making a name for itself in the professional choral arena, with a solid commitment to early music and well-received recordings under the ensemble’s belt. Both Trueman and Tymoczko are composing music which is appealing and has promise of future performances, and to have all these elements combined onstage in Princeton was a real treat for a fall afternoon. —Nancy Plum

consuming and involved project. Finding all the decorations, setting everything up, and dealing with the final installation — without falling off the roof! — can challenge the most ardent holiday decorator. Help is at hand! Great American Sealcoating & Christmas Decor can create an outdoor Christmas lighting and decorating plan that is appropriate for the style and size of each house. Decorating Options In business for eight years, the Hillsborough company is known for its full spectrum of decorating options, says owner Tim Smeltz. “We do roof, window, tree, bush, and ground lighting, along with garlands and wreaths. We have a huge inventory of decorations so we can supply almost anything. “Our outside Christmas decor will spruce up balconies, verandas, patios, doorways, and home windows. A wreath on home windows or doors can provide your home with an attractive and warm feeling. It’s important not to overload here, however. A couple of stylish wreaths in your doorway or home windows should have the desired effect, but you don’t want to inundate your entire house with wreaths. “Each of our installations is unique,” he continues. “Our installations address the features that are specific to your property. We use a variety of techniques and can decorate any feature. We also use a series of property-friendly

clips and fasteners that will not damage your property. Installations are scheduled at a convenient time, and our friendly installation crews handle everything.” “We do everything to make it easy for the customer. We design, install, and maintain throughout the season, and remove everything after whatever date is requested. In addition, our technicians make at least two service visits during the holiday season to ensure that everything is in working order.” Holiday Glow All the decorations are of excellent quality, points out Mr. Smeltz. “All the lights we use are the highest quality LEDs available and can create a wonderful holiday glow.” The wreaths, roping, and garlands are artificial, he points out, but the company also suggests that window boxes are another attractive holiday decoration. If appropriate for the house, they can be appealing additions that will add entrance charm to a residence. They might require upkeep, watering, and replanting to mirror periodic and holiday changes, but they do add a great deal to home windows. Another option is to combine exterior and interior holiday design for a great look. For example, a combination of holiday wreaths on the windows and doors, evergreens in the window boxes, and a candle light inside each window is a

They are already accepting orders, and as he says, “It’s a compressed season, so the sooner, the better!” Astounding Results At the end of the season, Christmas Decor removes the decorations and takes them away for storage.

Modern Design Center Showroom in Cherry Hill Offers Kitchen/Bathroom Design and Remodels

all is not only the time for sprucing up but often for an entire new look. Nowhere is this more important than in those two essential areas: the kitchen and the bathroom. Whether it’s for resale value or for your own pleasure and convenience, these are the “must-haves” for the latest in design, style, and value. Modern Design Center in Cherry Hill has been helping customers find their dream kitchen and bath since 2012, and before that, the owners had a family construction business for 36 years. The company’s services include full service kitchen and bath remodeling, cabinetry design, cabinet sales, installation and removal, countertop replacement, flooring, and tile. “We offer A to Z services for our customers,” explains owner Hikmet Cakir, AIA, NKBA, AIBD, “We design, build, and install our own kitchens. We focus on designing functional, stylish, and clutter-free kitchens. Most people think in order to have a well-functioning kitchen, you need a bigger space. But, last month, we renovated a kitchen which was small and old. The house was almost 100 years old. When we finished, this

kitchen was one of the most visited kitchens on a web page, where you can see new ideas, renovations, etc.” “Heart of the Home” Mr. Cakir notes that while reconfiguration of the space is most in demand among his customers, he and his team can also make recommendations for enlarging the areas or for new additions. “Having been in the construction business for so many years, we can build any type of property from scratch. We provide design and build services for both residential and commercial customers.” The kitchen is truly the “heart of the home”, a place in which whatever the size, everyone seems to gather. Modern Design Center specializes in European Modern

design kitchens and installation, says Mr. Cakir. “The Axis Model Conventional kitchen is our most popular item. It’s very innovative, and offers a rich diversity of colors, finishing options, more storage space, and roomy drawer systems. From New York to Philadelphia, the Axis is our most desired design.” He adds that Lineadecor and Silestone are two quality brands that Modern Design Center relies on. “These are the brands I am confident about when I talk with my customers. I know that I am offering them the best quality materials from companies that stand behind their products. Gray is currently the most Continued on Page 30

In the case of countertops, quartz and granite are leading t he way.” Warm Look Regarding flooring, tile and wood continue to be very popular, he adds. “Tile has more variety in colors and shapes, and is available at less than $1 per square foot.

The length of time for completion varies depending on the size and scope of the project, notes Mr. Cakir. “Even if it is a regular size kitchen or bath, complete remodeling takes two to four weeks, more or less. You have to deal with plumbing, electrical, flooring, etc. And you can always face unexpected problems. Especially, if the house is really old, then you have to be more thorough.” He adds that Modern Design Center is in charge of all the workers on the project. “We are a one-stop shop, and we always oversee everything on site. We work w it h t he homeow ner to

ensure that all the construction goes smoothly.” Mr. Cakir points out that when initially discussing the project with a prospective client in the showroom; styles, materials, finishes, appliance options, and, of course, budget are all part of the conversation. The client’s lifestyle is another important consideration. The design consultants will prepare a detailed floor plan, with budget costs, and in addition, 3D virtual design software is available to show the customer the new kitchen’s or bath’s special customized design.

An Adventure In Eating Is the Highlight At Newly-Opened elements Restaurant

lements has a new look and a new address ! This ver y special restaurant has reopened at 66 Witherspoon Street on the second floor above Mistral, its companion bistro.

IT’S NEW To Us

The new setting has a smaller, more intimate footprint than its original location on Bayard Lane. Still sophisticated w ith clean lines and modern style, the restaurant imparts a sense of refined elegance, while offering a warmly inviting atmosphere. Exposed beams highlight the ceiling, accompanied by unusual, whimsical lighting, and in a corner, stacked wood is ready to be added to the wood-burning fireplace. L arge w indows overlook Hulfish and Witherspoon Streets, and dark wood tables — featuring runnerstyle table linens, and cushioned chairs — reinforce

the handsome decor. Two private dining areas can accommodate more than 20 people comfortably for special events. An important feature at elements is the open kitchen concept, explains co-owner Stephen Distler. “Our kitchen is about as big as the dining room. People can look right into the kitchen and see the chefs as their dinner is being prepared. One of the chefs then brings the food to their table and greets the guests.” elements may have a new location, but its dedication to serving the finest food with the freshest ingredients remains its number one priority. Co-owner and awardwinning executive chef Scott Anderson has been with elements since its beginning in 2008. Formerly with the acclaimed Ryland Inn in White House Station, he is known for his trademark “interpretive American” cuisine, focusing on locally-sourced and seasonal ingredients. Chef Anderson’s inventive and progressive approach has earned him accolades from some of the indus-

try’s most highly respected authorities, including the James Beard Foundation, which has named Mr. Anderson as a semi-finalist for Best Mid-Atlantic Chef in 2014 and 2013. His expertise and willing collaboration with his fellow chefs and team quickly earned elements recognition and an outstanding reputation among food critics and the public alike. He has been honored for his imaginative approach — as one report notes — “for progressive cooking techniques that draw out an ingredient’s purest flavors and for inventive plating that complements the finished dish’s components. It has brought to Princeton a new dining experience that seamlessly blends modernist technique and superlative ingredients to create fresh and inviting flavors.” “Our chef is brilliant. The food is fantastic, There is nothing similar in the area,” remarks Mr. Distler. “I think Scott is one of the most talented chefs in the country, and this is a great opportunity to showcase his talents. We offer so much value and

such quality. It is truly fine dining at its best. “Eight or nine years ago, I wanted to do interesting things in Princeton,” continues Mr. Distler, whose success in the financial services industry enabled him to retire early and refocus his energy and abilities into new areas, including in commercial real estate, as a founder of the Bank of Princeton, as well as opening elements. The restaurant’s success was unquestioned, but Mr. Distler adds that “For some, the perception of the old elements was that the food was somewhat avant-garde. Now, we have a menu that is excellent, more identifiable, and very accessible. We offer people a dining experience that is unlike others. It’s American food, using local ingredients, but it’s actually deconstructing dishes and recreating them. That’s Scott’s inventive ‘interpretive American’ cuisine.” “In addition, we decided that we’d like a different, more convenient location.” he notes. “There are three groups we took into consideration. One, Princeton University faculty, who appreciate the opportunity for fine food and fine wine, and can now walk to the restaurant.

GREAT TASTES: “Opening a restaurant should be about feeding people and nourishing them. That is what we do at elements. This is like my house, and you are treated as a guest.” Executive chef and co-owner Scott Anderson is shown putting the finishing touches on one of his special culinary creations.

This is a very convenient location for our customers. “People are really enjoying the new location and of course, the dining experience.” elements offers several dining options. On week nights, a four-course menu is available at a prix-fixe of $79. A recent sampling included appetizer choices of salad with the day’s herbs and greens, fresh cheese, vegetables, and

Labyrinth of Lies

Astronaut Stranded on Mars Survives By Using His Wits

acGyver was a TV series about a character who was famous for using his scientific knowledge to use everyday household items in order to survive in a variety of life-anddeath situations. The Martian is an outer space adventure in which a stranded astronaut, with an uncanny knack for improvisation, uses a similar approach to survive on Mars. The picture stars Matt Damon as Mark Watney, a wounded botanist who was mistakenly presumed dead and left behind by his fellow crew members in the wake of a dangerous dust storm on Mars. However, he is actually very much alive, but doesn’t have enough oxygen, water, food, equipment, and other resources necessary to last the four years it will take for NASA to rescue him. Undaunted, resourceful Mark proceeds, among many other things, to perform surgery on himself and grow potatoes in a makeshift garden that is

fertilized using his own waste products. And, like an intergalactic variation on Tom Hanks’s role in Cast Away, Matt Damon appears alone on the screen for most of the movie. The great news is that Damon is captivating, and the 141 minutes running time flies by in a flash. Besides captivating us with his ingenious inventions, Matt repeatedly makes us laugh with his many humorous asides. Directed by three-time Oscar-nominee Ridley Scott (Thelma and Louise, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down), The Martian has all the tension of the movie Gravity. In addition, its visual effects are the equal of Interstellar. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for profanity, injury images, and brief profanity. Running time: 141 minutes.

Princeton Football Routs Colgate 44-20, Improves to 4-0; Showing Depth, Intensity in Tradition of ’95 Ivy Champs

wenty years ago, a deep and hardhitting Princeton University football team won the Ivy League title. Featuring 10 players who earned firstteam or second-team All-Ivy honors, that team got off to a 4-0 start on the way to an 8-1-1 overall record as it won the league crown outright, the only Tiger squad to do so in the last 50 years. With the legendary 1995 team being honored last Saturday on the 20th anniversary of its season for the ages as Princeton hosted Colgate, this year’s Tiger squad took a page out of its book. Missing a number of key starters due to injury, Princeton displayed its depth and physicality as it pounded the Raiders 4420 before a sun-splashed crowd of 6,457 at Princeton Stadium, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 2006 and just the second time since that 1995 campaign. Afterward, Princeton head coach Bob Surace invoked the 1995 squad in reflecting on the triumph. “We talked yesterday about the ’95 team being honored and they are one of the great teams here,” said Surace. “I tried to express to the guys how physical they were and they are going to be in the stands. I told them after the game that team would be damn proud of these guys and how hard they played.” With Princeton clinging to a 16-7 lead over the Raiders after two quarters, Surace was looking for his guys to play just a little harder. “At halftime, finish was the key word,” said Surace. “We just had to finish things a little better. We came out in the second half and the guys were amazing, they just did a tremendous job. So many guys are involved in our game, just running in and out and making plays. That is a doggone good Colgate team and that is an impressive win for us. Princeton’s impressive depth, which saw four freshmen playing on the defensive line at one point last Saturday, is the product of an ongoing process. “It is a combination of things; you start with recruiting because we have to get them here,” said Surace, who had two freshmen, Alex Parkinson and Jesper Horsted, get their first career receptions and another newcomer, Charles Volker, rush for 64 yards and a touchdown as he was later named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.

“Then they go through a development process, Jason Gallucci (the team’s strength coach) gets a ton of credit with that as do the assistant coaches. We do a mentoring program where the seniors mentor the young guys. We work real hard to develop our guys. We have a JV program. and our varsity guys who are not playing varsity will get JV reps and you see the development.” One of the most heartening developments on Saturday was the play of senior receiver Isaiah Barnes, who made a career-high eight catches for 92 yards after entering the day with just five career receptions. “Isaiah has worked his tail off; he has battled some bad injuries,” said Surace, noting that Barnes suffered a gruesome ankle injury as a freshman that almost ended his football career. “He has really practiced so well that you knew he was ready to have a breakout game. Isaiah was a really high recruit when he came here. He was a high school quarterback and we moved him to wide receiver. In the first scrimmage, he is blocking a guy and he had one of the worst injuries I have seen. His foot was facing the wrong way, it was that bad. His attitude has been phenomenal. He has had to suffer through that and the growing pains of a highly ranked recruit who is not getting playing time because he is injured. You are just so proud of him.” Barnes, for his part, sensed that he was going to have a greater role in the Princeton offense with receivers Seth DeValve and James Frusciante sidelined. “We have had a lot of injuries and I knew coming in there was potential that I would be seeing a lot more action,” said Barnes. “I was always ready and I am glad that I was able to get some passes my way and make some plays to help this offense and help this team win. It is about being the next man and being ready.” Making that kind of contribution was deeply satisfying for Barnes, considering what he has gone through in his Princeton career. “It felt really good; there was a lot of emotion in this game, anger, frustration, happiness, and joy, it was all molded into one,” said Barnes. “It was like a release. I had to go and perform and get it off my chest.” Sophomore quarterback and jack-of all trades John Lovett continued to perform well, rushing for 65 yards and four touch-

downs, making four receptions for 38 yards and completing 2-of-3 passes for 17 yards. “You always have to expect to be ready at any moment in time,” said Lovett, who was given more opportunities in the rushing game with star running backs DiAndre Atwater and Dre Nelson sidelined by injury. “Last game a few of our running backs went down, they have been carrying the load for us; they have been doing a great job. So if a few of them go down, I was prepared to play any role and play it to GOING FOURTH: Princeton University star safety Dorian Williams, the best of my ability.” center, gets ready for a play in a game earlier this fall.

Sparked by Sura’s Return From Hip Operation, PU Women’s Soccer Rises to Top of Ivy Standings Emily Sura is trying to make up for lost time this fall as she plays in her senior campaign for the Princeton University women’s soccer team. Struggling with a hip injury over the last two years, Sura only played in eight games as a sophomore and five games as a junior. Last November, Sura had surgery to repair the torn labrum that was plaguing her as she looked to be at full speed for the 2015 season. “It was about a sevenmonth recovery, I started playing again in July,” said Sura. “The rehab is hard, you spend an hour and half before practice and then you come out and watch your teammates. It is boiling up in you for an entire year.” From the star t of preseason in late August, Sura has been a revelation, establishing herself as a fixture on the back line for the Tigers. The native of Austin, Texas has started every game so far this fall. “I didn’t play in the spring so now senior year is that last go around but it is the first go around I have had in a long time,” said Sura. “I am so lucky because it is kind of a new surgery so they were unsure about the recovery time. They didn’t know if it was going to heal really well. It has been amazing.” Hosting Army West Point last Wednesday, Princeton

was unlucky in the early going, yielding a goal five minutes into the contest. With Sura scoring on a free kick and freshman Samantha McDonough tallying her first career goal, the Tigers fought their way to a 2-1 lead at halftime. “We responded pret t y quickly,” said Sura. “I think the whole first half, we were bat tling w ith them back and forth. We never really gained possession so it was nice to get those two goals to give us a little bit of a safety net.” On her tally, Sura was able to wind the ball into the back of the net from just outside the 18. “It was pretty close in; they had about four or five people in the wall so I knew I was going to have to bend it to get it around the keeper,” recalled Sura “It lined in and went in luckily.” The Tigers didn’t need any luck in the second half, outshooting Army 9-4 with sophomore Vanessa Gregoire and freshman Mimi A s om s c or i n g g o a l s a s Princeton pulled way to a 4-1 triumph. “In the second half, we got it down and played our game,” said Sura. “We really turned it on and got possession.” On Saturday, the Tigers turned it on again, rolling to a 4-0 win at Brown, winning their seventh straight game in improving to 9-3 overall and 2-0 Ivy League. “It is character, charisma,”

maintained Sura, reflecting on the squad’s hot streak. “We are a small team. We only have 23 people and usually we have 28 but everyone wants to win, everyone wants to be there. The energy in even single practice has been unbelievable and I think that’s what has been really carrying us along.” As a senior captain, Sura has been looking to help carry the leadership role for the Tigers. “We only have three seniors so in terms of numbers with upperclassmen we are pretty small,” said Sura. “We have a huge underclassmen presence and we are really lucky for the freshmen and sophomores, they have been doing really well for us. I think it is encouraging everyone to be a leader and encouraging everyone to step up. You have got to get everyone in that senior mentality.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Sean Driscoll liked the way his team stepped up after falling behind Army. “They got that early goal, that was certainly not in the cards; we didn’t expect that to happen,” said Driscoll. “We responded with four goals so that is a good response. The score line is a good one for us.” While Driscoll acknowledged that the Tigers weren’t at their sharpest, he liked the grit they displayed in getting the result. “We have played better

soccer than we did tonight, I was really worried about this game because all of the focus is on this weekend,” said Driscoll “They are a very determined group; they want to win badly. Your good teams find ways to win when they are not playing great; that is a good thing.” It is a good thing for Princeton to have Sura at full speed. “Emmie, after being out for effectively two years, has been a really, really bright spot,” said Driscoll of Sura, who has two goals and three assists this season. “She is doing a good job as a captain and she has got-

ten some goals. She got a goal for us against Fordham earlier in the season to win the game and that was a huge goal to get us back on track. I think when you sit out for two years, you start to appreciate the opportunity to play. She is certainly grabbing it and running with it. She has done very well.” The Tigers are taking advantage of opportunities at the offensive end, having averaged more than three goals a game during their winning streak. “We score a lot of goals,” said Driscoll. “We have a lot of talented attacking players and they are distributing the wealth, which is nice. We have a lot of weapons from Tyler to Mimi to Natalie. Vanessa’s goal tonight was really nice. Sam McDonough, for the first time this season, got herself going. We have a lot of options, that is good. We MONDAY need production from multiple people.” For Princeton Top litigation firm in New Jersey The first-year Princeton head coach believes that he Top litigation firm in New Jersey

and his players are on the same page, helping to explain how the Tigers have shot to the top of the Ivy standings along with Harvard ( 6 - 6 -1 overall, 3 - 0 Ivy). “We are on a very good streak,” said Driscoll, whose team hosts Lehigh on October 14 and Columbia on October 17. “It is about belief, they believe they can win. The more and more time you are together, you jell. I think we have a good understanding of what we all want. They are very easy to motivate. You can challenge them, you can push their buttons and they usually respond. It is positive, they are a really good group.” Sura, for her part, knows that earning an Ivy crown is going to be big challenge. “We have got to keep going,” said Sura. “It is a long road, every single game in the Ivies is a championship game.” —Bill Alden

After a powerful thunderstorm delayed the start of the last Friday evening’s showdown between the Princeton University field hockey team and visiting Columbia for 90 minutes, Nicole Catalino was hit with a jolt. “I tweaked my hamstring five minutes into the game so I was off for a good 15 minutes in the first half,” said Princeton freshman standout Catalino. Later in the evening, with Princeton trailing Columbia 3-2 in the waning moments of the second half, Catalino went off, scoring a goal to knot the contest at 3-3 with 3:13 remaining in regulation and force overtime before notching the game winner 1:38 in the extra session. The thrilling victory improved the 19th-ranked Tigers to 6-4 overall and 3-0 Ivy League. Reflecting on the dramatic rally, Catalino said that she and her teammates were determined to come up big in the second half. “It was about sticking together; we talked so much about team and how much this game means to us,” said Catalino, who played in the half with her right thigh wrapped in tape. “We had a rough beginning to the season and we have just recently began working together as one unit. It was really important that we showed in this half how much we have improved and how much of a team we are.” With Princeton keeping the ball in its attacking end for most of the half, Catalino sensed that the tying goal was coming. “We really wanted it; I knew it was time,” said Catalino, who dove across the circle to redirect a

Teresa Benvenuti pass into the goal on a penalty corner play. “You could tell the last 15 minutes that we had most of the possession, we just needed to finish. We work on that corner so much and it felt good to finally score it. I was supposed to be in that position.” Princeton liked its position as the contest headed into overtime. “You could tell that everyone wanted it and everyone was really passionate about the win,” said Catalino. “We wanted to go out there and show them right away that this was our game and we deserved to win it. That was what we did.” Catalino didn’t waste any time giving the Tigers the win, tapping in a feed from Cat Caro on the backpost to successfully convert Princeton’s eighth corner of the evening. “We had never done that corner before and our coach was just saying that for not having have done it before, it looked pretty good,” said Catalino. “It was about us all being in the right position.” W h i l e C at a l i n o w as thrilled to find herself in position to tally the key goals, she was more focused on what it meant for the Tigers than individual glory. “It feels really good but most importantly, it just feels good for my team,” said Catalino. “To be a part of the win in that way was really special, especially as a freshman.” The 5’3 Lansdale, Pa. native is excited to be a part of the Princeton team. “The transition is a lot better than I expected, this is probably the greatest team you could be a part of,” said Catalino, who

now has six goals on the season, second-most on the team behind the nine scored by senior star Maddie Copeland. “There haven’t been any real difficulties. I struggled in the beginning, we have a lot of freshmen who play so it was finding our position on the team. Recently, we have found our niches and everything is looking good.” Princeton head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn acknowledged that things weren’t looking good for the Tigers as they surrendered two goals in the last minute of the first half to find themselves trailing 3-2 at intermission. “That is the beauty and agony of this game; you can control large bits and then just have one lapse and they capitalize,” said Holmes-Winn. “C olu mbia playe d a sensational game. They defended really well, they came back for the ball really well. I think we kind of got it together in the second half. They absolutely won the first half in a lot of ways.” At halftime, HolmesWinn instructed her players to take care of things under their control. “We had a couple of tactical adjustments but it was more let’s just stick to the principals,” recalled Holmes-Winn. “It was let’s get our feet going, let’s defend and the attack will take care of itself.” Holmes-Winn was not surprised to see Catalino cash in as the Princeton attack asserted itself in the second half. “She is just a winner,” said Holmes-Winn of Catalino. “These guys just did

You never know but I thought we were creating enough chances that, gosh, one of these is going to fall.” As the Tigers got ready to take the field for overtime, senior goalie Anya Gersoff took over the team huddle, loudly beseeching her teammates in no uncertain terms to keep battling. “Anya is just a pro; she just takes care of all of the details and she is a fighter,” said Holmes-Winn. “She is intense, she is focused. It was really good to see her express herself like that and the team responded so positively to it. That is the great aspect of our senior class, they are all contributing. Cat (junior Cat Caro) is our captain and is doing a remarkable

job and the seniors are just filling in all the gaps. They are doing a great job.” Princeton’s intensity paid dividends when it took care of business in the extra session. “When you are in overtime and you have a corner, you just play hockey and you play around defenders,” said Holmes-Winn. “It was great to be able to take control of the overtime and finish.” The heart displayed by the Tigers in pulling out the win is a great sign for the homestretch of the season. “I think this team is not going to roll over, that is for sure,” said Holmes-Winn, whose squad has now won four games in a row and will look to keep on the

To weather that storm, fight through, and still be able to get the outcome, it was so great to see. We just continue to build confidence.” Catalino, for her part, concurs, seeing Princeton as a team that will fight to the end. “Going into the latter part of the season, this game will be one we will be able to look back when we play extremely hard teams,” said Catalino. “If we are down, we know we have the power to come back.” —Bill Alden

PU Women’s Hockey Grads PU Hockey Alum Condon Take Part in NWHL Debut Makes Canadiens’ Roster

Three former Princeton University women’s hockey players made opening day ros ter s as t he Nat iona l Women’s Hockey League (NWHL) makes its debut last Sunday. Kelly Cooke ’13 and Denna Laing ’14 are playing for the Boston Pride while Gabie Figueroa ’14 is skating for the New York Riveters. Forward Cooke played in 122 games and scored 26 goals and 23 assists in her Princeton career. During her senior season, she finished second on the team in scoring with a team-high 15 goals and 12 assists for 27 points. She was a four-time ECAC All-Academic selection. Forward Laing totaled 76 points in 120 games and had six-multiple goal games and 15 multiple-point games in her career. As a senior, Laing led the team in scoring with 27 points while playing in all 31 games. A 2014 second-team All-Ivy League selection, Laing earned four team awards while at Princeton including: Rookie of the Year, Preseason Athlete of the Year, Elizabeth English Trophy and the Patty Kazmaier Award. In 113 games, defenseman Figueroa, a for mer Lawrenceville School standout, tallied 37 points on five goals and 32 assists. The defender was named to the ECAC All-Academic team all four years and earned the team’s Preseason Athlete Award and the Patty Kazmaier Award during her senior years. ———

Former Princeton University men’s hockey goalie Mike Condon ’13 made the Montreal Canadiens roster as a back-up to star netminder Carey Price. Condon did not allow a goal during his two preseason appearances, which included a 17-save shutout against the Toronto Maple Leafs on September 26 at the Air Canada Centre. “It’s very exciting. I’m just happy to be here and I’m ready to get to work,” said Condon. “I’m not surprised by it. I’m confident in my abilities and I’m happy for the opportunity. It definitely hasn’t sunk in yet.” Condon signed a two-year extension on his contract w ith Montreal in Febr uary, extending him through 2016-17. Since graduating from P r i n c e to n , C o n d o n h a s steadily progressed through the ranks. Starting in Ontario (ECHL) after his senior season ended, Condon worked his way up to being a top goalie in the AHL. Last year with Hamilton, Condon posted a 23-196 record with a 2.44 GAA and a .921 save percentage in 48 games. He was named the third goalie for Montreal during the 2014 playoffs. During his Princeton career, Condon posted a record of 18-22-8 with goals against average of 2.67 and 1,465 saves.

During her Princeton High running career, Mary Sutton honed her speed at the West Windsor Fields course. “In high school, we do our 1,000 meter repeats on that course so we run that course at least once a week, if not more,” said Sutton, 2015 PHS grad who starred in cross country and track for the Little Tigers. This Saturday, Sutton will be competing on the course at the Princeton Invitational as a freshman standout for the Loyola University women’s cross country team. “I am so excited, coming back home is wonderful,” said Sutton. “I told all of my high school teammates that they better be there to cheer me on. I feel like I am prepared for it.” Sutton was excited to join the Loyola program, making a connection with head coach Amy Horst.

“I really liked Amy and the relationship she has with her athletes, I thought it was a good fit,” said Sutton. “She seemed really happy for me to be on the team and I felt like we would have a good relationship with each other.” The increased workload that comes with running in college has been a good fit for Sutton. As she trained this summer, Sutton gradually increased her mileage from 20-25 a week to more than 30. “We got to Loyola and we started hitting 35, 40, 45 miles a week,” said Sutton, noting that she was likely to hit 50 miles this week as she preps for the Princeton event. “I like the higher mileage. I think as a runner I thrive off of doing more work and putting in more mileage. I feel like it prepares

me more for our meets. In high school, we ran 5ks. In college, we run 6ks so our training should be more than high school.” In Sutton’s first college meet, the Mount St. Mary’s Duals, she placed 41st in a time of 21:04.4 in the 5-kilometer race on September 4 as the fourth finisher for the Greyhounds. “I was nervous but I think I was more excited to run my first college race,” said Sutton. “The day was not good for anybody, the conditions were not the best, it was really hot outside. I thought I was hydrated but things happen.” Good things have been happening for Sutton as she has secured a place in the lead pack for the Greyhounds. “Right now we have four girls, Sarah (Askine), Christina (Daniels), Erica (Canas) and me; in the first meet we were not close to each other but this past weekend we finished within 16 seconds of each other,” said Sutton. “That is what you want from your teammates. You want to run with them; it is a pack. We call it the core four, we are looking for a fifth person. In my senior year of high school, we had a pack of five runners and our position switched every meet and that was awesome. You push each other. It is really helpful that we are pushing each other right now.” Pushing hard has helped Sutton make big strides in just a matter of weeks. “My times for workouts are getting faster, my mileage is more,” said Sutton. “I am running with teammates through most of the race so I know that I have to push myself to push them and vice versa. From our Paul Shor t race compared to Navy, I PR’ed by 2:30 (going from 25:15 to 22:46) so I think the training is working out.” Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Sutton is aiming to establish herself as one of the fastest freshmen in the Patriot League. “My goal for the season going into college was to be the Patriot League Rookie of the Year,” said Sutton. “Looking at the other girls at the other schools, I know that goal might not be attainable. I think if I finish among the top five or ten freshmen at the Patriot League championships, that would be an honor. That would be awesome because the girls in this league are tough girls from other high schools and other areas.” —Bill Alden

Featuring a Deep Pool of Talented Runners, PHS Boys’ Cross Country Looking Formidable Mark Shelley is dealing with a problem this fall that would be the envy of most cross country coaches. “We are so deep this year, we have been trying to give all of our quicker guys a chance to r un a varsit y meet,” said Princeton High boys’ cross country head coach Shelley. “We had 11 guys go sub18: 00 at Holmdel at the Shore Coaches meet. It is a positive competition. They like each other, it pushes them. At the end of the season it is going to be hard to make those final spot determinations.” Last Saturday, PHS competed well at the Fall Classic at Thompson Park in Jamesburg, placing third of 18 schools in the team standings in the Varsity B race. “I think we felt good about it, we had a couple of guys who didn’t run as well as they wanted to run,” said Shelley. “The term we use is process. It is all part of the process and we learn from it. One reason we run there is that we will run the county and sectional meets there.” Junior star Alex Roth ran well at the Fall Classic, placing seventh individually, covering the 5-kilometer course in a time of 16:13.40. “Alex is doing very well, certainly he is a running machine,” said Shelley. “His form is perfect; he is the best runner we have had in a while. We are still figuring out exactly how to race. A couple of times we feel like he has come in behind somebody who he could have beaten if he had tactically run a little differently. He has a great work ethic. He is smart, he will talk with us. He is really open and proactive if he is sore or needs to change something around.” Sophomore Will Hare, who took 17th at the Fall Classic, has shown great improvement from last season. “Last year Will was our four th freshman and he really started to blossom towards the end of spring track,” said Shelley. “He did a lot of miles over the summer. He just has a tenacious, tiger-like mentality. He is fighter. Last week he had a hard week of training and the other guys had some more days off and he came out on Saturday and just fought. He is a tough runner.” Cy Watsky is also providing toughness for the Little Tigers. “Cy has been fighting a little bit of soreness recently; he and Will Hare are basically together,” said Shelley of junior Watsky, who placed 23rd at the Fall Classic. “They are two of our key runners, matching ourselves up against Robbinsville and South (WW/P-S) going forward, we are looking at where we need them to place in relation to other teams. He is a great leader, he has a great work ethic.” Another key runner for PHS this fall has been senior Jeremy Taylor, who has regained the form he displayed earlier in his high school career. “Jeremy is one of these kids who has been real solid for us all year,” said Shelley of Taylor, who took 28th at

the meet last Saturday. “He was really strong in middle school but in the last couple of years, he really regressed. Last year he ran 25 or 26 and it turned out he was anemic. He took his iron and he dropped like six minutes. He is a great kid, really quiet. We appreciate what he has been able to do.” While noting that those four r unners have separated themselves, Shelley said there is a pack of runners doing well right behind them. “You have Alex Ackerman, Nick Delaney, and Jackson Donahue, who are sophomores,” added Shelley. “There is also Eli Wasserman, who is a freshman, as well as Jonathan Petrozzini and Elliot Wailoo, who are juniors. Noah Chen is a senior. All of them are literally within seconds of each other.” The team’s depth will come in handy as the Little Tigers wrap up the regular season with a Colonial Valley Conference showdown.

“We have the divisional meet this week, it is us, South, North ( W W/ P-N ), Notre Dame, and Trenton,” said Shelley. “It is our first shot at South. We haven’t beaten them in years so the guys are looking forward to that challenge.” Shelley is looking forward to the county championships, seeing his team as a surefire title contender. “The county meet should be between us, South, and Robbinsville,” said Shelley of the competition that is slated for October 23 at Thompson Park. “All three of us are ranked roughly the same in the state. Robbinsville beat us in a dual meet but looking at the numbers, we think we match up with them better at a bigger meet just because of where the runners fall. We are hoping we can put a bunch of people in before their five guy. Our goal is to get Cy and Hare closer to Roth and get the pack closer together. It will be the most competitive race it has been in a while; it will be a real battle.” —Bill Alden

With Senior Star Hagan Triggering the Offense, PDS Boys’ Soccer Rolling Into Postseason Play For Kevin Hagan and his teammates on the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team, defeating Lawrenceville 1-0 earlier this month was a watershed moment. “We hadn’t beaten them in 32 years since 1983; it was a huge confidence booster,” said senior forward Hagan. “Coming off losses to Pennington and Peddie, beating Lawrenceville shows us how good we can be and that these teams aren’t any bigger than we are. We can play with them, we can beat them, and we can be better than them.” Hosting Abington Friends (Pa.) last Wednesday, PDS didn’t play its best as it was sluggish. “I think everyone was a little too laid back in the beginning,” said Hagan. “It was Senior Day and everyone was happy to be here and be on the field. Coming off the Lawrenceville game, I think we were thinking we were a little bit too good right now.” Hagan helped PDS get on the board as he slotted a cross into the box that Diego Garcia buried in the back of the net to give the Panthers a 1-0 lead with 28:42 left in the first half. “That was really great positioning by Diego, that made it easy for me,” recalled Hagan. “He held his run well. I was able to slide right to him it was an easy ball, he freed himself up.”

Building on that tally, PDS was able to pull away to a 4-0 victory as Zach Dudeck, Connor Fletcher, and Hagan added goals. Hagan’s score came on a free kick midway through the second half that he skipped past the goalie. “I am just trying to get it over the wall,” said Hagan. “Obviously I didn’t this time but it worked out.” Things are working out well for the Panthers, who went on to beat Morrisville High (Pa.) 6-0 on Friday to win their fifth straight game and improve to 8-4. “Everyone is a little more confident and at the same time, when they make mistakes, they hold themselves way more accountable,” said Hagan, who had two goals and an assist in the win over Morrisville. “I think as a team we trust each other a lot more. I think earlier in the season, the older guys were trying to control the game a little too much. We are handing it to the sophomores C. J. Uche and Donovan Davis. Luke Franzoni, especially, has shown a lot of improvement.” The team’s seniors have developed a high level of trust in each other over the years. “I just feel this year the seniors are really close and tight,” added Hagan, whose classmates on the squad include Max Adam, Chris C h a i, C o n n or F l e tc h e r, Noam Jacoby, Aidan Jones, Amir Melvin, Ben Multak,

Isaac Rosenthal, and Peter Sanderson. “Everyone wants everyone else to do well.” PDS head coach Malcolm Murphy honored his seniors by getting them all in the game at the same time late in the win over Abington Friends. “They have done well by us, they got their just rewards being on the field all 10 together,” said Murphy. “I was happy for them. At the end of the day, they are here for the camaraderie and the social side as well and they came across with that today.” Mur phy li ke s t he way Hagan has been coming through in his final campaign with the program. “Kev in is playing ver y well,” asserted Murphy. “He is a different type of player, he holds the ball well and he has got good speed. Kevin sets a lot of players up and if we had a finisher playing alongside him, we would get a lot more goals. He is doing a great job at the moment. He is very, very dynamic and he wants to go for goal so he is the one who will break the opposition down.” In Mur phy’s v iew, t he breakthrough win over Lawrenceville could be a turning point for his side. “It was exceptional; you could tell that the psychology was that they loved it,” said Murphy. “They can’t wait to pay s o m e o f t h e o t h e r to p teams as well now so they want to see how far they can go now.”

With the postseason around the corner, the Panthers need to be sharper around the goal in order to go far. “We have got some good things going but when you play the top teams, we are going to have to finish a lot more and better than we are doing at the moment,” said Murphy, whose team was slated to host Hun on October 13 in its regular season final before starting play in the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B tourney. “When you meet the Princetons, and Penningtons, you are not going to get many opportunities so you have to take the individual ones seriously and put them away. We do a lot of finishing in training sessions but we are not very good at it. It is just composure. We are getting players in the right spot but we are shanking things because we are not confident and composed on the ball. They rush things rather than take the time and finish.” Hagan, for his par t, is committed to leading PDS to a big finish. “I am trying to show the younger guys to work hard and not get frustrated,” said Hagan. “I a m t r y i n g to s h ow them fundamentals but it is mostly an attitude thing. I am always tr ying to be serious.” —Bill Alden

ON THE BALL: Princeton Day School boys’ soccer player Kevin Hagan goes after the ball in a recent game. Last Friday, senior forward Hagan contributed two goals and an assist as PDS topped Morrisville High (Pa.) 6-0. The Panthers improved to 8-4 with the win as they posted their fifth straight victory.

Having lost nine straight games, the Princeton Day School field hockey team was determined to end that victory drought as it hosted Northern Burlington last Thursday. “We just came out really hard; we wanted to get the ball in the goal in the goal and win,” said PDS freshman midfielder/back Val Radvany. “We have been so close in some of our games to winning and we just haven’t been able to get the ball right in the goal. I think today we took our opportunities.” The precocious Radvany

CAMBISTAT Cambistat is scientifically proven to improve the health of trees through root system enhancement, improved drought and heat resistance and higher tolerance to insects and disease. Cambistat has been shown to help stabilize and in non-severe cases, revitalize declining trees. Not only does Cambistat make the trees very healthy below ground by increasing fibrous root development, it also thickens the leaves. Cambistat is a soil drench or soil injection applied at the base of the tree and is recommended to be reapplied every three years. Once the product is absorbed into the system of the tree, it is affective. Cambistat is designed to gently and predictably slow the growth of your trees up to a 60% reduction over a three-year period. Where Cambistat should be used to control growth: •Trees in planter boxes or sidewalk areas •To reduce maintenance and pruning needs •Trees planted too close to the house •Trees growing in/around decks and patios •Vista trees that block views •To maintain tree size and appearance

took advantage of opportunities, assisting on one goal and scoring another as PDS prevailed 2-0. With the Panthers dominating possession from the opening whistle, Radvany helped the PDS cash in less than five minutes into the contest as she fired a ball into the circle that was directed past the goalie by sophomore star Madison Mundenar. “I am going to shoot the ball and I hope that someone is ready,” said Radvany, reflecting on the tally. “We had so many opportunities in the beginning of the game to just put it in. I was just hoping.” With 16:52 left in the half, Radvany found the back of the cage as she blasted a one-timer past the goalie. “On that shot I miss the ball sometimes so I have to keep my head down and just hit it,” said Radvany. In Radvany’s view, the victory over Northern Burlington will help the Panthers get their heads up. “We have been so close to winning; it has really been getting us down,” said Radvany. “Now going into the tournament, I think we will have a good confidence boost to go out there and play our best.” Radvany has gained confidence since the beginning of the season. “It has been hard to come out as a freshman and come out and play at the high school level but I think it has really helped me grow as a player,” asserted Radvany, who chipped in an assist as the Panthers edged South Hunterdon 2-1 last Monday to move to 3-10. “I have improved a lot. I think I see the field better and my skills have improved. I have done better.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow believes that Radvany is getting better and better as the season goes on. “Val did a great job, she has really stepped up in the last few weeks,” said Farlow. “She is a hockey head. She has really embraced playing the position that she is in. She is making a difference.” Farlow was happy with how her team stepped up collectively in the win over Northern Burlington as it dominated possession throughout.

“It was pretty apparent when I came out with the girls that everyone was excited and energetic,” said Farlow. “One of our goals was to not let them cross the 50. We have been working on passing and moving and playing a passing game. When we do that, we play well and we create opportunities. It was good that we finished today.” Farlow acknowledged that her young squad experienced some growing pains in a week that saw the Panthers lose 1-0 to Lawrenceville on October 3, 3-1 to Pennington on October 5, and 7-1 to Hill on October 6 before breaking through against the Greyhounds. “We play a lot of games and we played a lot of games back to back in a short time so that is tough,” said Farlow. “They played so well on Saturday against Lawrenceville. I think the girls are a little disappointed that it was decided by a stroke. We really thought we were in it to win it. We are young so sometimes we have those ups and downs. It is high school, you would like to be a well-oiled machine but you are not always.” As PDS heads into the

Israel Joel Heilweil

Israel Joel (I.J.) Heilweil, 91, resident of Princeton, since 1964, died October 6, 2015, at Greenwood House in Ewing. A beautiful burial service in Long Island, attended by his immediate family, was led by Rabbi Adam Feldman of The Jewish Center of Princeton. Born in Lviv, Poland (which is now the Ukraine), Israel emigrated with his parents and sister, the late Regina (Jean) Miller, to Brooklyn, New York, when he was 15 years old in 1939, right before the start of World War II. After graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School in Brooklyn, he served four years in the United States Army in the European Theater, arriving in Normandy only a few days after D-Day. One of the few to survive the initial days, he was made a cannoneer, directing fire throughout the Normandy Campaign, including the Battle of the Bulge. He remained in Europe after the end of combat and ran a POW camp. Israel received his BS degree in chemistry from the City College of New York in 1948, and his MS and PhD degrees in physical chemistry from The Ohio State University in 1954. His field of interest was surface, polymer, and colloid chemistry. After graduation, he worked at Texaco Research Laboratories near Poughkeepsie, New York, and then went to Mobil Oil Company’s Central Research Laboratories in Pennington, where he engaged in basic research on lubricants, oil recovery, and other surface/colloid investigations for over 26 years. He loved his work and was fully immersed in it. He held at least 37 U.S. patents and authored or co-authored a number of significant publications. He had an intuitive feeling for molecules and their behavior. He was highly valued by his colleagues, and chaired the Gordon Conference on Chemistry at Interfaces in 1980. Upon retirement, he served as a Research Fellow at Princeton University in the molecular biology department. Israel married Harriet Gerletz in 1948. They celebrated their 67th anniversary this past June. Their life together was full of conversations about chemistry, with even more passion raising their three

children, Edwin J. Heilweil (Toby Heilweil) of Potomac, Md.; Rachelle E. Heilweil (Dan Roddy) of Fort Benton, Mont.; and Donna L. Heilweil (André Eichenberger) of Zurich, Switzerland. Israel loved and was deeply proud of his family, Harriet, his “children”, and his three granddaughters, Kerry L. Pinnisi of Cambridge, Mass.; Naomi Heilweil Rotenberg (Jimmy Rotenberg) of Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Rose Pinnisi of Ithaca, N.Y.. Throughout his life, Israel expressed his love for our country and its ideals of freedom and human rights, as well as his deep commitment to the State of Israel and the survival of the Jewish people. He loved gardening and created a naturalistic and peaceful landscape around his Princeton home. He dabbled in free verse and considered himself a poet of sorts. He loved classical music, listening much of his waking hours, often wishing aloud that he could compose. Contributions in Israel’s memory may be made to: The Jewish National Fund (bit. ly/1qxGmJW); The Staff Fund at Greenwood House, 53 Walter Street, Ewing, NJ; The Jewish Center of Princeton, 435 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540; Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad, 237 North Harrison Street, Princeton, NJ 08540; or your favorite charity. Or just think of Israel when something reminds you of him. Funeral arrangements were by Orland’s Ewing Memorial Chapel, 1534 Pennington Road, Ewing Township. ———

he grew up in Belle Mead, N.J. He graduated from St. Paul’s Elementary School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School in Lawrence Township, and he earned a BS from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, Mass.

He proudly mentored players in the Pop Warner league, at MIT and Merrimack College, and most recently at Swampscott High School. He was a Gameday Official for the New York Jets, an avid sailor and skier, and a highly regarded member of the community.

She was an early member of the Princeton Art Association, where she held several offices, and served on the Board of the Friends of the Princeton Art Museum. In May 1973, Miriam’s husband Leo was killed in an automobile accident on the Great Road in Princeton. He was en route to the Mobil research facility in Hopewell, where he was a consultant. After this tragedy, Miriam returned to work — first as a substitute teacher and school librarian, then as an editor at Rutgers, and finally at the Mobil Research and Engineering center in Hopewell, where she created and produced “The Mobil Engineer”, a bimonthly magazine launched during the oil crunch years of the 70s and 80s. This job took Miriam with her camera and hard hat to refineries and chemical plants in Japan, Norway, London, Scotland, and many energy-centers in the U.S. It was a unique and exciting experience, fraught with many memorable incidents as an early business-woman traveler. Miriam loved traveling the world. As an engineer’s wife, she attended many international scientific congresses, lived in Madrid for four months as guests of the Spanish government, and did some intrepid traveling for pleasure. Alone, she became an avid Elderhosteler. B esides play ing piano from age seven, Miriam was an avid watercolor painter. She was a member of the

Harry Averre Bloor Harry Bloor, 91, of Lawrence Township, passed away Friday evening, October 9, 2015 at his home with his family at his side. Harry was born in Trenton New Jersey on March 31, 1924 to W. Harry and Evva Bloor. He was one of five children, all of whom predeceased him. Harry graduated from Pennington High School and served during World War II in the Army Air Force. After serving his three year stint, he started learning the plumbing and heating trade — a move that would prove to be his calling for the rest of his life. He married Janet Dansberry of Hopewell on November 17, 1951 — a marriage that lasted for 64 years. He started his own plumbing and heating business the next year, in 1952, and successfully operated that business until he retired from it in the late 1990’s. Harry and Janet built their own home in Lawrence Township in 1956 which is where he lived until his passing. Harry took great pride in

his home and it was always immaculately maintained. Among other things, Harry was a life-long member of the American Legion, had his private pilot’s license, and a Cessna 172 which he loved, a couple of boats including a 28 foot classic Chris Craft cabin cruiser that he enjoyed both at the Jersey Shore and on the Delaware River, a couple of vacation homes in Vermont that he renovated and finally a cottage on Long Beach Island that he referred to as “the desert.” He loved the University of Delaware where his two grandsons’, Taylor (Kyla) and Carter (Ainsley), both played lacrosse. He also loved “those two little girls”, his two great granddaughters (Finley and Hudson). He also was a great father to his only son, Scott, and adopted his only “daughter” Hilary when she married Scott. A funeral service will be held at the Hopewell United Methodist Church, Friday, October 16 at 11 a.m. There will be no calling hours because after all, Harry wasn’t too big on funerals. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Hopewell United Methodist Church, 20 Blackwell Avenue, Hopewell, N.J. 08525. Arrangements are being handled by the Blackwell Memorial Home 21 North Main Street, Pennington. For condolences, visit blackellmh. com.

Miriam T. Friend Mir iam T. Fr iend, 98, passed away on Monday, S eptember 28, 2015 at Stonebridge at Montgomery in Skillman. Miriam Friend was born and grew up in New Rochelle, New York, in Westchester County. She attended New Rochelle public schools and the College of New Rochelle from which she graduated with a fine liberal arts education in 1937. As editor of the campus weekly newspaper Miriam was bitten by the writing bug that afflicted her through many years of publicity work and editing. Job prospects were bleak out in the cold cruel world in the depths of the Depression. Miriam had worked in the college library (at 25 cents an hour) so she decided to pursue this as a career and enrolled at the Columbia University School of Library Service, where she got an MLS in 1940. Through the Special Libraries Association Miriam was hired as Librarian of the M. W. Kellogg Company, a large engineering corporation at 225 Broadway (now the Kellogg/Boot Halliburton subsidiary). Establish-

ing a library was an especially challenging task as the company became deeply involved in the war effort. For the Manhattan Project the company’s Kellex subsidiary was responsible for the design and engineering of the Oak Ridge Tennessee plant for the production of fissionable uranium. Through the war years, the group worked in high gear and secrecy, and celebrated with mixed emotions the birth of the atom bomb. During her years at Kellogg, Miriam was active in the special Libraries Association and the technical libraries section of the American Chemical Society. Miriam met her husband Leo Friend, a chemical engineer, at Kellogg and they were married a few weeks after the end of the war and were lucky in finding a tiny sublet apartment in Roselle, New Jersey. The first child, David, was born in 1948, followed by daughter Sarah, who was born in 1950. After moving back to New Rochelle, and for the next 17 years, Miriam was a typical postwar homemaker/ mother and chauffeur with a commuting husband and children. I n 196 4, t h e Ke l lo g g Company opened a large research complex near the north campus of Rutgers. With her husband Leo as new director of Engineering Research and Development, the Friend family decamped for New Jersey, settling in Rocky Hill — just blocks from today’s Stonebridge. With her children grown and in school, Miriam joined the staff of the Princeton Packet where, as arts editor,

WINTERIZE YOUR HOME FOR SNOW Part of home maintenance is preparing for the yearly onslaught of winter weather. Protecting your house from the ravages of ice, wind and snow can pay off in the form of lower fuel and energy costs and fewer storm-related repairs. Water pipes can crack or burst when water inside them freezes and expands. Pipes located in attics, crawl spaces or outside the building are at risk during seasonal cold spells. Cold air flowing across these pipes can allow ice to build up inside. Wrap vulnerable pipes with insulation sleeves made of foam rubber or fiberglass. Seal any cracks in the outside walls or the foundation near water pipes to prevent freezing wind from reaching the pipes. Letting the water drip through an exposed pipe reduces the amount of ice that can form inside and allows water to escape before the pressure of the expanding ice builds to the bursting point. Turn the faucet on just enough to allow water to drip very slightly. If the dripping stops, you may have a frozen pipe. If this happens, call the plumber.
