Merwick Stanworth Gives a New Look To Bayard Lane The ongoing construction of a residential community for Princeton University faculty and staff at the corner of Bayard and Cleveland lanes is not quite in the home stretch. But the complex, on the former site of the Merwick rehabilitation center and the Stanworth apartments, is well along the way toward its projected goal of fall 2016 completion.

The newly constructed, multi-story apartments that make up the Merwick side are finished and occupied. The second phase is focused on the neighboring Stanworth units, which have housed University families for more than 60 years.

The compact houses are currently in the process of being taken down and rebuilt, where possible, on their original foundations. The buildings are being stripped of their bricks before being demolished, and they look a bit forlorn in their naked state.

“As best practice when the University is undertaking any construction project, we look to recycle material wherever we can,” said Kristin Appelget, the University’s director of Community and Regional Affairs.

“The bricks won’t be used again on the site, but they will be recycled.”

Of the 326 residences in total, 56 are designated affordable housing COAH (Council on Affordable Housing) units, available to the public and managed for the University by Princeton Community Housing. Sixteen became available when Merwick opened, and the Stanworth site will include 40.

Torti Gallas and Partners of Maryland are the architects for the complex. Once demolition is complete, the Stanworth residences will be rebuilt as two-story townhouse-style units. “They will look like what is already on the Merwick site.

They all have pitched roofs. There are one-story sections and porches that are incorporated into the design,” said Ms. Appelget. “A key element of the planning is that the streets were left where they were previously located. This, along with leaving the buildings on their original foundations, means that many mature trees on the site are not being disturbed. So the beautiful tree canopy is preserved.”

The University built the Stanworth homes in the late 1940s to house faculty and staff. The adjacent Merwick site was Continued on Page 4

PU Safety Officers Will Have Access to Arms

In the change of a longstanding policy, Princeton University Department of Public Safety (PUDPS) Executive Director Paul Ominsky last week announced that sworn department officers will have access to rifles in the event of “two specific situations — an active shooter or someone brandishing a firearm on campus.”

Mr. Ominsky emphasized the importance of rapid response time in cases of threats of a violent nature and the current thinking that getting an armed officer to the scene as quickly as possible is the safest, most effective response to the presence of an active shooter. Under the current policy, the PUDPS would have to call on the Princeton Police Department (PPD) to provide an armed response to an active shooter on campus.

While the announcement followed shootings on October 8 and 9 at Umpqua College near Roseburg, Oregon, Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and Texas Southern University in Houston, Mr. Ominsky said that Princeton University has been discussing this change in policy for many months. “This is something that has been under consideration for a while,” he said. “The proposal was made based on Princeton’s circumstances and law enforcement best practices.”

The new policy will be implemented in the coming months, after the 32 sworn officers in the department (there are 65 members of the Department of Public Safety who are not sworn officers and will not have access to firearms in any circumstance), have received additional

training with the firearms they would have access to in the specific emergency situations.

Mr. Ominsky elaborated, “We are fortunate to be in a very safe town and we have a safe campus,” but “we have to be prepared even for the unthinkable. We hope that there will never be a need for our sworn officers to use the rifles.”

Princeton Police Department Chief Nicholas Sutter expressed his strong support for the change in University policy, stating, “I see this as a positive and effective step in addressing response time to critical incidents like an active shooter on the campus. Through our joint training with PUDPS we realize that our goal is to stop an active armed threat on campus as Continued on Page 4

When Jane Okoth was promoted 14 years ago from her job at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Lewisburg, Pa. to a position with the regional office in Philadelphia, she knew her children were not going to be happy about leaving their schools. So she told them they could select the school system they wanted to attend and the community in which they wanted to live, within reasonable distance of Philadelphia.

“They went online and picked Princeton, which reminded them of the schools they were in because Lewisburg is home to Bucknell University, another university town. I told them they’d have to do without a lot if we moved to Princeton, but they were willing,” Ms. Okoth said.

The family made the move and the children enrolled in Princeton’s public schools. But Ms. Okoth’s husband had trouble finding work. “It was a shock, because the cost of living was much higher than what we were used to,” she said. “It got to a point where things were really difficult.”

That’s when Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP), a non-profit organization funded by representatives of Princeton’s largest religious organizations and based at Trinity Episcopal Church, stepped in.

The family was offered temporary accommodation in a house the organization owns at 11 Mercer Street. They were given assistance with their finances.

Tips for Trick-Or-Treaters: • Bring a flashlight so you can see and others can see you.

• Use the buddy-system, never trick-or-treat alone.

• Only go to neighborhoods you know and to houses with a porch light on.

• Well-lit streets with a sidewalk are best, but if you need to walk in the road, stay all the way to the side and face on-coming traffic, make sure to wear light colored or reflective clothing.

• Take off your mask when walking between homes and crossing streets.

• Always ask mom, dad or an adult you trust to check your treats before you start eating.

• NEVER go into a stranger’s home or car for a treat and don’t eat or drink anything that is open or unwrapped.

Tips for Parents: Always accompany the little ones and discuss trick-or-treating routes with older children, agree on a specific time to return home or check in if they’re going out alone.

purchased by the University in 2010 when it was announced

by Princeton Healthcare System that Merwick was moving to Plainsboro, and the old building on the site was demolished.

W hen the project was originally announced back in 2012, there was concern among residents of John Street, which backs up to the site, about drainage. “There are all new stormwater systems, which was an important part of the design,” said Ms. Appelget. “We wanted to make sure that was addressed.”

Recycling materials and stormwater management are among several sustainability features of the project. An effort has also been made to knit the complex into the surrounding Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. “There are two pedestrian and bike path connections to John Street,” Ms. Appelget said. “There are sidewalks. There is pedestrian access to the Y. And Tiger Transit will be coming to the site. Anyone, not just people who live there, can use the service. We look at this as being, because of its location, a place where individuals can choose to walk, bike or use the shuttle rather than getting into a car.”

quickly as possible. This is a critical step in doing so.”

Mr. Sutter added, “I know that PUDPS and the University have diligently and thoroughly researched this change and found that it is a necessary step, consistent with best practices, to provide protection to their community members in critical incidents.”

The PPD and the PUDPS work closely together on a daily basis, according to Mr. Sutter. “Whether it be on patrol units, detective bureau, or administrative staff, we are completely working together …. We revisit our relationship regularly to see how we can better support each other.”

The labor union that represents Department of Public Safety officers, the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), requested in 2008 and again in 2013 that sworn officers be allowed

Hamilton Jewelers Reopens Forest Jewelers Location

H1912, part of the Hamilton Jewelers family of brands, is opening at the former Forest Jewelers location at 104 Nassau Street.

The boutique features ecofriendly retail therapy with a selection of vintage, estate, and pre-owned jewelry and watches.

H1912 shares Hamilton’s social responsibility commitment and suppor t of philanthropic causes in the Princeton community, and will be donating a portion of all sales to a worthwhile organization in the region.

For October, the selected charity is HOMEFRONT in Trenton, dedicated to ending homelessness in Mercer County.

access to firearms in cases involving an active shooter on campus. The FOP filed a complaint in 2008 that being unarmed posed an occupational hazard, but the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) ruled against the union. In 2013, according to the Daily Princetonian, then Princeton University President Shirley Tilghman rejected the FOP appeal, stating that guns have no place on the Princeton University campus.

Speaking on behalf of the University Administration, Treby Williams, the University’s executive vice president, emphasized that “the safety of the University community is our top priority.” She explained, “In situations where there is an active shooter, it is now the best law enforcement practice for the first armed officer who gets to the scene (irrespective of any back-up) to interrupt the shooter and save lives.”

Water Now — Walking on Mars Next?

Princeton Junction’s James Wray Leads the Way When James Wray was a senior at West WindsorPlainsboro High S chool South, he had ambitious dreams. According to a May 2002 Star Ledger article, “James hopes some day to become an astronaut. ‘I’ve always dreamed of walking on Mars,’ he says.”

Well, not yet, but it looks like he’s on his way.

Flash back to a TV news conference on Monday three weeks ago, where NASA scientists were preparing to announce that liquid water is flowing on the surface of Mars, providing a crucial clue that life might exist on the red planet.

MARS, HERE I COME!: James Wray, Princeton Junction native, now Georgia Tech Professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, led a research team that confirmed the presence of water and the possibility of life on Mars. He’s eager to follow up on that discovery. (Photo Courtesy of James Wray)

The director of a significant portion of the research leading to that discovery was Mr. Wray, who is now an assistant professor at Georgia Tech and a co-investigator on several NASA research grants involving analysis of data from Mars.

Mr. Wray has been investigating the mysteries of Mars and other planets at least since his undergraduate days at Princeton University, where he wrote his senior thesis in 2006 on the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn ( “High-Dispersion Spectroscopy of Europa and Enceladus: Probing the Tenuous Atmospheres of Active Icy Moons”).

At Georgia Tech he has taught classes on physics of the planets, Earth and planetary materials, remote sensing of land surfaces, and a seminar on “astrobiology” (the quest to find life beyond Earth and to understand how it evolved). He has led research groups studying planetary surfaces, with a focus on Mars and those icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn. “We make extensive use of NASA mission data, and therefore I also spend a fair amount of time working at NASA labs,” Mr. Wray explained.

Since the 1970s scientists have suspected that water flowed on Mars billions of years ago, and even earlier they surmised (from telescopes) that even today the polar ice caps retain water in the form of ice. But because the planet is so cold and dry and has so little atmosphere, the presence of liquid water today was considered impossible, until a few years ago.

Pursuing the Mystery In 2010, while Mr. Wray was finishing his PhD at Cornell, he learned that images from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter were reve a li ng “ dark s t re a k s (a few feet across), which would appear in the summertime and slowly extend (up to hundreds of meters)

downslope, before fading away over the winter.” This phenomenon was consistent with flowing liquid water, but the presence of liquid water could not be proved.

“I knew a way to prove it,” Mr. Wray declared, “using infrared spectroscopy to look for the diagnostic ‘fingerprint’ of water and/or salts it would leave behind after evaporating. I looked for this in 2011 but didn’t find it.”

Finally, according to Mr. Wray, “Everything came together in January of this year.” Lujendra Ojha, a young researcher recruited by Mr. Wray in 2012 as his first PhD student at Georgia Tech, reported “a strange new spectral signature he had isolated from the Martian dark streaks.”

Walking on Mars Continued from Page 5

“Quite coincidentally, I had just purchased a laboratory infrared spectrometer for Georgia Tech,” Mr. Wray recalls, and he and Mr. Ojha, along with Mary Beth Wilhelm, another of Mr. Wray’s PhD students, proceeded to test samples, one of which was a hydrated perchlorate. “It matched Luju’s [Mr. Ojha’s] spectrum perfectly We knew immediately that this meant liquid water, specifically briny water, was flowing down the slopes on Mars today, evaporating and leaving behind perchlorate salts.” Mr. Wray and his students collaborated on a paper that was published last month in Nature Geosciences describing this revelation.

“The discovery was exciting enough for a press release, but when NASA realized it would be published in the same week that The Martian would open in theaters, they realized the potential for reaching a broad-

er audience and called a TV news conference.”

T he modest Mr. Wray yielded center stage at the news conference to his two students. “NASA asked who from Georgia Tech should participate, and my answer was ‘Luju and Mary Beth.’

They had led the work, and furthermore I had benefited so much from the generosity of my own mentors that I knew it was time to pay it forward and let them have the spotlight! We did not anticipate how bright that spotlight would be!”

What’s Next?

So, does this 31-year-old professor still have hopes of fulfilling his childhood dream of a journey to Mars?

Mr. Wray reflected on his research team’s accomplishments so far. “I have been so encouraged by it, feeling more optimistic than I have in some time that humans will walk on Mars within the next 20 years or so.

And we’ve now shown them where they can find water, a precious resource (as The

Martian aptly illustrates).

The dark streaks on Mars also now seem like the best places to look for habitable conditions or even life.”

Mr. Wray is currently a member of a NASA-sponsored assessment group providing input on how a future mission might better understand and characterize these seasonal wet flows.

And when such missions are built and launched, Mr. Wray wants to be involved.

“I still want to go to space someday,” he stated. “Maybe just as a ‘space tourist.’

But if humans are going to Mars and back in my lifetime, then I would like to be a part of that, whether as an astronaut myself or as one of the scientists back on Earth supporting their mission.”

Local Roots Mr. Wray, whose mother lives in Princeton and teaches drama at Princeton High School and whose father is a law yer living in Princeton Junction, fondly recalled his education in high school at W W- PHS and at Princeton University, where he worked with Astrophysics Professor Ed Turner. Mr. Wray knew at the time that he wanted to concentrate on the solar system, “the most likely place to answer definitively the question that I found most interesting of all: Is t here now, or has t here ever been, life on another planet?”

Mr. Wr ay’s cont i nu i ng curiosity next led him to Cornell, where Professor Steve Squyres was the lead scientist for two rovers that NASA had landed on Mars.

Mr. Wray became his professor’s representative on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter science team and was able to use its observat ions as t he basis for his doctoral disser tation on where, when, and how Mars had hosted liquid water in its distant past. He was hired as an assistant professor at Georgia Tech in 2011 after receiving his PhD from Cornell.

Mr. Wray says he visits his parents in Pr inceton about once a year, but he has no plans for leaving Atlanta, where he lives with h is w ife, Magg ie, whom he met in 2002 when they were both freshmen in the astrophysics department at Princeton; they married six years later when they were both graduate students at Cornell. Mr. Wray didn’t say whether she was looking forward to accompanying him on his future travels to Mars.

Ex-Rep Rush Holt Says Zwicker, Vella Make Nothing Significant Will Happen Until Decisions Based on Evidence, Not Ideology We End the Stranglehold of Big Money Board Candidate Pat Sullivan Brings To the Editor: To the Editor: Expertise, Experience, Compassion We, as members of Represent.Us Central New Jersey,

It was my honor and privilege to represent the people of Central New Jersey and to work to improve your quality of life. As a member of Congress and as a professional scientist, I’ve always believed that policy decisions should be based on evidence, not ideology. On November 3, you have a chance to elect two people to the New Jersey General Assembly who will do just that.

Andrew Zwicker is a physicist and the Head of Science Education at Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory, where I was once the assistant director. Many years ago, I hired Andrew and it was clear to me that as good as he was as a scientist, he was even better at relating to people. Andrew has devoted his career to finding solutions to difficult problems such as developing a new source of clean energy and training the next generation of students to compete in a global economy. I wasn’t surprised when he called me and said he wanted to be involved in public service and I said, without any hesitation at all, that I would like to help.

Maureen Vella is a former municipal judge, a family practice lawyer, and a professional mediator. Maureen understands that legislation needs to be carefully crafted so that unintended consequences are few and far between and is a patient negotiator who works toward an acceptable compromise that will produce positive action. New Jersey needs leaders like Andrew and Maureen now.

Noting the Omission of Sir W. Arthur Lewis From Story on Nobel Laureates in Economics

To the Editor: In the Town Topics article “Princeton Professor Wins Nobel Prize” (page one, Oct. 14), four Princeton University winners of the prize in economics are listed. Professor W. Arthur Lewis is omitted from the list. In 1979, Sir Arthur Lewis “was awarded the Nobel Prize along with Theodore Schultz for ‘pioneering research into economic development with particular consideration of the problems of developing countries’.”

Biographer Princeton professor Robert Tignor described him as “one of the foremost intellectuals, economists, and political activists of the 20th century. Professor Lewis was “the first black person to win a Nobel Prize in a category other than literature or peace.”

I find the omission of Professor Lewis’s accomplishments puzzling. I imagine that many friends, colleagues, and family members of Sir Arthur and Gladys, Lady Lewis, and their daughters, Elizabeth and Barbara, would join me in requesting that this Princeton professor receive his due in print. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

CECEłIA B HODGES Glenview Drive Editor’s Note: The article in question was based on the Princeton University press release, which listed “several other Princeton faculty members who have received a Nobel Prize in economics in the last two decades.” Two other Nobel laureates not mentioned were visiting professor of economics Thomas Sargent, in 2011, and Eric S. Maskin, visiting lecturer with the rank of professor of economics, in 2007.

asked the four Assembly candidates in District 16 whether they would support, yes or no, anti-corruption legislation.

Represent.Us is a national, cross-partisan campaign to pass anti-corruption laws in cities and states across the country so we can stop lobbyists and special interests from bribing politicians who are supposed to be representing us.

On July 14, 2014, Princeton made history as the nation’s first municipality to approve a resolution based on “the American Anti-Corruption Act.” The resolution called on “representatives [of] the 16th district New Jersey state legislature to support and introduce anti-corruption legislation. We took up the cause.

An Anti-Corruption Act has three primary outcomes: Stop political bribery by overhauling lobbying and ethics laws.

End secret money by dramatically increasing transparency.

Give every voter a voice by creating citizen-funded elections.

It ends the vise-grip that Big Money and Power have on our politics and restores the People as the most important stakeholders in our political system.

We gave the Assembly candidates an October 1 deadline to respond. How did we do?

On the Republican side, the two incumbents either said “no” or ignored us. Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli said, “In my mind, [there] is not justification necessarily for introducing bills on issues as weighty as these.” Assemblywoman Donna Simon ignored us.

As for the Democrats, Andrew Zwicker said “yes” and committed to introducing and supporting anti-corruption legislation. His running mate, Maureen Vella, did not reply.

When you mark your Assembly ballot this fall, you need to move these positions to the top of your list. No matter what you care about — taxes, schools, repairing roads and bridges, gun violence — nothing significant will happen until we end the corruption and strangle-hold of Big Money on our politics.

Howard and Liverman Are Acutely Aware Of the Town’s Underserved and Voiceless

To The Editor: On November 3rd we will be voting to re-elect Heather Howard and Lance Liverman to the Princeton Council.

They bring deep experience to our local government, but more importantly know how to use that experience effectively with efficiency and with compassion. They prioritized the return of community policing. Both are working to increase transparency through Access Princeton and both are instituting new budget controls to help achieve the promise of consolidation. They are, moreover, acutely aware of the underserved and sometimes voiceless members of our town.

We hope others will add their votes to ours.

CLAIRE AND DAVID JACOBUS Cleveland Lane

To the Editor: Our children have either graduated from high school or currently attend the public schools, so we share a passion for the quality, diversity, and inclusiveness of our schools and for their excellent stewardship. We therefore strongly support the re-election of Patrick Sullivan to the school board on November 3.

No other candidate has Pat Sullivan’s broad experience and deep, detailed understanding of the district’s complicated budget and financial picture and its complex operations and programs. Pat also brings impressive legal and analytical skills to his decision-making. Importantly, Pat understands that making decisions in the best interests of students is almost never a simple or obvious process. As a fiduciary for our children and our public schools, Pat has demonstrated great discernment and painstaking care in understanding complex situations, weighing competing interests, and making difficult, nuanced choices.

Just as important as his expertise and experience are Pat’s great compassion and concern for the children in our schools. During his board service, Pat has tenaciously focused on enhancing the educational experiences for our children who have unconventional learning needs or strengths, and on expanding opportunities for children who come to our schools at a disadvantage due to family income, native language, or background. Through his hard work on the district’s Strategic Plan Steering Committee, Pat made certain that inclusiveness and individualized learning, combined with high expectations and hopes for all children, were a driving principle in each of the Strategic Plan’s five goals.

We are lucky to have Pat Sullivan serving this community on the school board. We urge you to vote for him (ballot position #3) on November 3.

Lacrosse-Hockey-Music Moms Running for Princeton Council Several Recent Letters Have Misrepresented Our Dedicated and Capable Representatives To the Editor:

Two Princeton Council candidates, Lynn Lu Irving and Kelly Ditosto, have been friends since their sons played on the same lacrosse team at Princeton High School, so juggling careers and motherhood is second nature for them.

Each is the mother of three children, five of whom have graduated from Princeton High and attended college. Two are college graduates with responsible positions in business and as a Marine Corps Judge Advocate General Officer.

Ms. Irving’s youngest child, a daughter and a Princeton High freshman, is a talented singer and musician and a member of the nationally recognized, PHS Jazz Vocal ensemble.

Ms. Irving, of Guangzhou, China, is a real estate broker, who through her work has seen families leave Princeton and disrupt their children’s education because of high property taxes. She believes that property taxes seem only to be of concern to the Council at election time. Ms. Irving has contributed to the Princeton community in many ways, including being a founding member of Cafe Improv — which showcases musical talent at the Paul Robeson Center — and serving as a host family to international students attending Princeton University.

Ms. Ditosto, who has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Villanova, believes in fiscal responsibility and the importance of the Council’s having a carefully crafted budget, much as Princeton families do. She was dismayed by the pay increase that the Council recently voted for its members, which was a retreat from earlier pledges and is also an unprecedented conflict of interest. At Princeton High School, she chaired a booster club for her children’s hockey teams.

Princeton voters would be hard pressed to find two more qualified and committed Council candidates. Ms. Irving

To the Editor: Having lived in Princeton for 25 years, I have personally witnessed many instances of political divisiveness, extreme partisanship, and ideological nastiness, but nothing can match the malicious and mean-spirited tone of several recent letters that have misrepresented our dedicated and capable representatives to the State Assembly, Jack Ciattarelli and Donna Simon.

Yes, Ciattarelli and Simon believe in free markets, lower taxes, and individual responsibility, but the reality is that both have demonstrated a fierce independent streak. Contrary to the statements of some of the letter writers, they have not endorsed Donald Trump and have not always agreed with the positions of the governor. It is an insult to the intelligence of Princeton voters to imply that our representatives do not vote according to their own convictions and on behalf of the best interests of their overall district.

For instance, both opposed Governor Christie’s “Return Home” program, which would have forced more than 300 adults with developmental disabilities to leave residential care programs over the objections of their families, and both oppose the Penn-East Pipeline. Individually, Ciattarelli spoke out forcefully against Iowa Congressman Steve King — a close ally of the governor — when King made offensive remarks about Mexican immigrants. To her credit, Simon sought state tax reforms that would have dedicated more money to public pension payments.

At a time when many Princeton taxpayers are suffering from the excessive property taxes of three separate local taxing authorities, Ciatterelli and Simon continue to work hard for the necessary revision of state school funding and state assistance to local government. They are very knowl-

African Biography Subject Of Labyrinth Conversation

Labyrinth Books, Princeton University’s African American Studies Program, and the Comparative Literature Department are hosting a discussion of the first English translation of the earliest-known book-length biography of an African woman, and one of the few lives of an African woman written by Africans before the nineteenth century.

Wendy Laura Belcher and Judith Weisenfeld will be talking about The Life and Struggles of Our Mother Walatta Petros: A Seventeenth - Centur y Afr ican Biography of an Ethiopian Woman at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, October 21 at 6 p.m.

Wendy Belcher’s translation provides a picture of the experiences and thoughts of Africans, especially women, before the modern era.

The Life and Struggles of Our Mother Walatta Petros (1672) tells the story of an Ethiopian saint who led a successful nonviolent movement to preserve African Christian beliefs in the face of European protocolonialism. When the Jesuits tried to convert the Ethiopians from their ancient form of Christianity, Walatta Petros (1592-1642), a noblewoman and the wife of one of the emperor’s counselors, risked her life by leaving her husband, who supported the conversion effort, and leading the struggle against the Jesuits. After her death, her disciples wrote this book, praising her as a friend of women, a devoted reader, a skilled preacher, and a radical leader.

to European influence, this biography also prov ides a picture of domestic life, including Walatta Petros’s life-long relationship with a female companion.

Wendy Laura Belcher is associate professor in the Department of Comparative Literature and the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University. She is the author of Abyssinia’s Samuel Johnson and Honey from the Lion: An African Journey. Judith Weisenfeld is Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton.

Princeton University Art Museum

Loving Van Gogh and Learning from Cézanne with John Doe, Hemingway, and Debussy Cézanne...was the greatest. The greatest for always.

—Ernest Hemingway emingway’s love of Cézanne is expressed more guardedly in his posthumous Paris memoir, A Moveable Feast (1964). Even there, after saying he was learning “very much” from Cézanne, he admits he was “not articulate enough to explain it to anyone. Besides it was a secret.” Here’s a world-famous writer entering his 60s and he’s still celebrating his enthusiasm as if he were a boy with a secret. Writing as his youthful alter ego in The Nick Adams Stories (1972) he lets his feelings show (Cezanne “was the greatest”) in a short hitherto unpublished piece titled “On Writing.”

Love at First Sight “I love this painting!” The speaker, a man well beyond retirement age, seems to have surprised himself. Hemingway would have approved, I think, for the words come in a gasp, as if from a blow to the solar plexus. The setting is the Princeton University Art Museum, but this is not your typical museumgoer. My guess is he didn’t want to come, that he could care less about an exhibit called “Cézanne and the Modern.” He’d probably given his wife a hard time (“The modern what?”) so she’s left him standing there, alone in front of the work that’s unmanned him.

It’s clear that “love” is not a word he’s comfortable using. Nor is he comfortable in a museum. Possibly the only reason he’s there is because it’s free.

The painting he loves is Van Gogh’s Tarascon Stagecoach (1888), the one work in the current show with the power to turn surly grown-ups into delighted children. This is that rare being, a virgin viewer, wholly without affect or guile, clueless to the core, and here he is, gazing wide-eyed at the day-before-yesterday freshness of the pigment, the primal energy, the blue-beyond-blue of that patch of sky, the Provençal-sun-bathed whites of the buildings, the gouty, creamy brushstroke-crazed surface on which the red carriage with its yellow wheels, green awning, and gold lettering is balanced, all but tilting backwards with the thrust and surge of the paint. There’s an overflow of restless recklessness about it that makes you want to grab some brushes and oils, or some fingerpaints, or marking pens or spray guns, or any mechanism at hand, and start making something.

Hearing Color I’ve been listening to a lot of Debussy lately, and while I hadn’t intended to bring him into the gallery with me, I find it hard to focus on Cézanne’s watercolors without hearing a medley of piano arabesques, sarabandes, masques, nocturnes, and preludes. Listening to Debussy is like looking at Cézanne, and vice versa, though Debussy, who was interested in cinematography and imagined “filming the nine symphonies of Beethoven,” claimed in an article from 1913 that “musicians alone … have the privilege of being able to convey all the poetry of the night and the day.

Painters, on the other hand, can recapture only one of her aspects at a time, preserve only one moment.”

H

But what a moment! As Robert Bresson observes in Notes on the Cinematographer, Cézanne does it all, “painting with the same eye and the same soul: a fruit dish, his son, the Montagne SainteVictoire.”

In fact, the oil paintings on view at the University Art Museum, Mont Sainte-Victoire and Cistern in the Park of Château Noir, have depths and layers comparable to orchestral works while watercolors like Trees Forming an Arch and Still Life with Carafe suggest subtleties more evocative of a solo piano. But whether heard or seen, what it all comes down to is poetry, thus Rilke’s devotion to Cézanne, quoted by the curator in regard to the watercolors’ “very light pencil outlines, and here and there, as if for emphasis and confirmation, … an accidental scattering of color, a row of spots, wonderfully arranged and with a security of touch, as if mirroring a melody.”

If you’re thinking musically, a word like “spatters” seems out of synch in a creative moment where every move is pitch-perfect, whether the “music” is scored or improvised on the spot. The watercolor of Mont Sainte-Victoire resembles a light, subtle, muted emanation of the finished work. The brighter, bluer tones in the watercolor of Cistern in the Park of Château Noir create a charming effect that is nothing if not melodic. You have to strain a bit to “hear” SainteVictoire; not so the Debussy arabesque accompanying Château Noir.

Sound and Color If this coalescing of sight and sound seems a stretch, it’s clear that composers and artists alike took synesthesia seriously. Alex Danchev’s biography of Cézanne, which notes that “hearing” color and “seeing” sound was “deeply embedded in the culture,” refers to a friend of Rimbaud’s teaching the poet to play the

Even if you know some pieces in “Cézanne and the Modern” from previous visits to the museum’s 19th-century galleries, one of the exhibit’s special features is the opportunity to see the watercolors and oils of Mont Sainte-Victoire and Cistern in the Park of Château Noir in close proximity. Just as you can enjoy the illusion that you’re hearing Debussy himself playing and thinking and feeling pieces like Suite bergamasque and Pour le piano, it’s even easier to imagine yourself looking over Cézanne’s shoulder, just you and you alone following the invisible hand of the artist.

It’s as if the painting were haunted by the watercolor’s fragmented presentation of it, not a sketch or an outline so much as the spirit of the subject, or what the online notes term “traces of his working process.” According to the notes, “In the watercolor, the spatters juxtaposed with more carefully brushed layers of pigment serve as evidence of Cézanne’s method, which combined spontaneous touch with a deliberate one.”

piano “by sticking little pieces of colored paper to the piano keys, believing that each note of an octave corresponded to a particular color.”

The same friend, a musician named Ernest Cabaner, “must have talked to Cézanne about his metaphysics of sound and color.” Besides pointing out that the composer Scriabin “associated E-flat major with red-purple” while Rimsky-Korsakov “insisted it was blue,” Danchev quotes Cézanne on the fact that Flaubert saw purple when writing Salammbo,” while Cézanne himself saw a “‘Flaubert color,’ a bluish russet given off by Madame Bovary.” Danchev reports an exchange where Cézanne playfully asks a poet friend what scent was emanating from his landscape-in-progress. When the friend replies “a scent of pine,” Cézanne corrects him, “You say that because of the two great pines swaying in the foreground. But that’s a visual sensation. Besides, the pure blue scent of pine, which is sharp in the sun, must

blend with the fresh green scent of the fields in the morning, and with the scent of stones, and the perfume of the distant marble of the Sainte-Victoire.” Although he’s alerted us to the friend’s tendency to “embroider on Cézanne,” Danchev can’t resist quoting from a conversation where Cézanne says that the “turmoil of the world” is “resolved, deep down in the brain, into the same movement sensed by the eyes, the ears, the mouth, and the nose, each with its own poetry.”

Danchev saves a gem from the same source for his epilogue, in which Cézanne exclaims, “One minute in the life of the world is going by! Paint it as it is!”

Both quotes bring to mind the joyous dancing turmoil of Debussy’s Tarantelle Styrienne, an early work from 1890, and L’isle joyeuse from 1906, either of which can send a dull day soaring, particularly as played by the late Aldo Ciccolini. Genres, art forms, museums, conventions, are all blown sky high as music does to the listener what standing in front of a Van Gogh does to the breathless viewer who gasps “I love this painting!”

The Hungry Eye Whether or not the man who loved Van Gogh came away seeing the world differently, there’s no doubt that Ernest Hemingway’s viewing of Cézanne on an empty stomach affected his approach to writing. Looking back to his 20s in Paris in A Moveable Feast, he recalls, “I learned to understand Cézanne much better and to see truly how he made landscapes when I was hungry. I used to wonder if he were hungry too when he painted ; but I thought possibly it was only that he had forgotten to eat.

It was one of those unsound but illuminating thoughts you have when you have been sleepless or hungry. Later I thought Cézanne was probably hungry in a different way.” In his visits to the Musée du Luxembourg Hemingway was “learning something from the painting of Cézanne” about “writing simple true sentences.” Again, it’s up to Nick Adams to articulate the “secret”: ézanne star ted w ith all the t r ick s. T h e n h e broke t h e whole thing down and built the real thing. It was hell to do. He was the greatest. The greatest for always ….

Nick, wanted to write about country so it would be there like Cézanne had done it in painting. You had to do it from inside yourself. There wasn’t any trick.

Nobody had ever written about country like that. He felt almost holy about it.

It was deadly serious. You could do it if you could fight it out. If you’d lived right with your eyes.”

“Cézanne and the Modern: Masterpieces of European Art from the Pearlman Collection” will be at the Princeton University Art Museum through January 3, 2016.

The Art of Video Games Is Topic of TCNJ Exhibit

Art

Back in the late 1970s when v ideo games were still a novelty, visual art was prominent in packaging and marketing but had yet to transfer to the screen. Fast forward a decade or so. Video game designers, some of whom are traditional painters and artists, are now able to experiment and express themselves in ways they may have imagined but didn’t think were possible.

It is this progression, and beyond, that an ambitious exhibit at The College of New Jersey Art Gallery is exploring through December 13. “A Palette of Pixels: The Evolving Art of Video Games” looks at the last three decades of the medium with concept art, sketches, and sculptures from video A PALETTE OF PIXELS: These two images are among those on display in the current exhibit at games, as well as interactive The College of New Jersey’s gallery.

Ault, associate professor of interactive multimedia and

the former chair of the department at TCNJ, said the question of whether video games are art has been a hot topic in recent years.

“There have been exhibitions at the Smithsonian, the Museum of Modern Art, and other places about this,” he said. “What we’re doing is looking at how all of this has evolved.”

The show starts with arcade games and Atari consoles. “If you look at the graphics and the art put together for marketing and packaging, it was undeniably art and over the top,” Mr. Ault said. “It was detailed and conjured up fantastic worlds. But technology at the time didn’t allow you to get that on the screen. We actually start our exhibition way back then, at this time of disparity where people were imagining with box art what they weren’t able

to do on screen. It was a dilemma.”

In the earliest days of video games, it was impossible to get anything realistic on the screen, so it was all abstract. “You had to read into it,” Mr. Ault said. “For a good 20 years, there was a creative challenge and a kind of technical arms race to create the hardware that would finally enable game designers to put something realistic on the screen. In the late 1900s and early 2000s, it was finally up to the job. Often it was very realistic, because they wanted to show that off.”

There is a whole generation of artists who may have grown up studying traditional art forms and have also spent time play ing video games. The expense of technical tools may have prevented them from merging the two skills, but that has changed. “There are a lot of traditional artists with this new avenue available to them,” Mr. Ault said. “And there is also the opposite — people who have grown up very technologically inclined, realizing that coding is not just technical and manipulating numbers. It is another means for creative self-expression. So they’re embracing t heir ar t ist ic side.”

As an example of the former, Mr. Ault cites artist Patrick Smith, who recently won an Apple Design Award.

“He’s a painter who went to art school. For the last 10 or 15 years, he has made a name for himself and is a real star among programmers. He taught himself how to program because it was an interesting mode of expression. So he’s a traditional artist who has made his reputation as an inventive coder.”

Mr. Ault and Emily Croll, who directs the gallery, collaborated on an exhibition about data art a few years ago. The popularity of the show led them to consider the current topic. “Video games are a big interest on the part of our students,” Mr. Ault said. “Students can major in interactive media. Games are a big part of what we do, but not the only thing. The curriculum evolves with the technology.

It’s a very interdisciplinary program and games have been a great way to bring those things together. We’ve been offering this [major] for about 11 years, and enrollment has gone up quite steadily.”

In conjunction with the exhibition, TCNJ’s music department will present a concert, “Press Play,” on Friday, October 30 at 8 p.m. in the Kendall Main Stage Theater. On the program is music from video games performed by The College of New Jersey Wind Ensemble and guests, the TCNJ Chorale, and guest conductor Gerard K. Marino, composer for the God of War series.

Mr. Marino will present a free lecture that same day, at 12:30 p.m., in the Mayor Concert Hall of the music building.

The campus is at 2000 Pennington Road in Ewing Township. Visit www.tcnj. edu for more information.

and emotional states of human experience.

“Nude figures traditionally represented ideal beauty in art,” noted Christine Giviskos, Associate Curator of European Art at the Zimmerli. “And ambitious artists worked diligently to master the human form. During the 19th century, artists still emphasized the human figure, but they no longer felt obligated to depict perfect human forms.”

Master y of the human figure continues to be a key tenet of serious artistic training. Renaissance masterpieces established the nude as a pinnacle of artistic achievement, a status that persisted for hundreds of years. When the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture institutionalized its program for drawing instruction in 1648, only the most advanced students were permitted to draw from nude models. The Academy also showed preference for

historical subjects. Though the Academy was dismantled following the 1789 Revolution, and traditional subject matter declined in favor of landscapes and contem porary life, standards for representing the unclothed body remained static in the French artistic establishment well into the 1800s.

But by the second half of the century, artists initiated new approaches to the topic.

Admission is free to the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers. The museum is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The Zimmerli is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and the first Tuesday of each month, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and major holidays, as well as the month of August.

States of Undress Exhibition At Zimmerli Art Museum

States of Undress: Bathers and Nudes in Nine teenth-Century French Art is on view at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers through January 6, 2016. The exhibit examines an era when the notion of “indecency” dramatically shifted and a more modernist view of the representation of the human figure emerged. Twenty prints and drawings, as well as a painting, demonstrate how French artists relied on tradition and training while updating the context for the nude figure in their works.

No longer were f ig u re s trapped in heroic or idealized poses; they were placed in realistic contemporary scenes, as well as in ethereal or invented settings. Works by artists such as Edouard Manet, Theo van Rysselberghe, Adolphe Willette, and others reveal these radical visual changes that also influenced people’s attitudes in accepting the modern

A Comedy of Tenors

THEATER REVIEW

A

Doors Slam, Pants Drop, as Opera Stars Hit High C’s, In “A Comedy of Tenors,” Ken Ludwig’s Frenetic New Farce

t dinner Saturday night before the show, with some old friends I hadn’t seen for a few months, the conversation was not unexpected. With a pleasant balance of seriousness and humor, we caught up on the latest news in our middle age (late middle age?) lives: our children and their challenges in school and in starting out in the world after college; other friends and family, and how difficult it can be for adults to get along with each other; politics and our worries about the dysfunctions in our government; the state of our environment, and what sort of world we’re leaving for our children; mortality, aging, and and how fast the decades have sped by.

Ken Ludwig’s A Comedy of Tenors, playing at McCarter’s Matthews Theatre through November 1 in its world premiere production, revisited none — at least not in any depth — of the above concerns. The rest of the evening was a complete escape into the world of pure, old fashioned, unabashed farce.

In A Comedy of Tenors, Mr. Ludwig’s sequel to his 1986 Lend Me a Tenor (a huge hit in London, New York, and elsewhere), the goal is entertainment. The consistently sterling, high-energy cast, under the savvy direction of Stephen Wadsworth, with a top-flight production crew, ensures that that goal is achieved.

Seven slamming doors, witty one-liners, sexual innuendo, romantic couples, mistaken identities, sight gags, an actionpacked plot — with one mishap after another but none of great consequence and little doubt that all will end happily, are some of the tasty ingredients of this comedic brew. Mr. Ludwig, also author of Crazy for You (1992) and Moon Over Buffalo (1995) on Broadway and Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery at McCarter last spring, knows his craft.

The setting is a luxurious Paris hotel suite in 1936, just three hours before “the concert of the century,” featuring three tenors, is to take place in an adjoining soccer stadium. The characters are over the top — even for opera singers and their volatile wives and lovers. The circumstances are extreme, with one catastrophe following on the heels of another, as the moment approaches for the concert to begin.

Produced in association with the Cleveland Play House, where it debuted last month, A Comedy of Tenors picks up two years after the end of Lend Me a Tenor and revisits several of the characters who

seconds in a tour-de-force curtain call (like the curtain call for Lend Me a Tenor)!

Mr. Dean is particularly adept in his leading role as the self-absorbed, temperamental opera star, then as the eager bellhop Beppo (with mustache added until he shaves it off in order to impersonate Tito) — two clever, quirky, delightfully ludicrous characters, with impressive vocal skills. How he travels in a matter of seconds from the stage right doorway, where Beppo emerges from a bedroom with Tatiana, to the stage left doorway, where Tito has been in bed with Maria, is nothing short of a miracle of speed, set design engineering, and creative costuming.

Mr. Wadsworth, director of The Figaro Plays at McCarter 19 months ago and frequent director at McCarter over the past 23 plus years, has rehearsed and fine-tuned his ensemble of high-powered actors with precise timing of words and actions to maximize the humor. His extensive experience, in addition to play directing, as director of operas around the world and director of opera studies at Juilliard serves him well here. The “tenors” show off flamboyantly as credible opera stars.

A first-act spontaneous rehearsal of “The Drinking Song” from La Traviata was a show-stopper on Saturday night, bringing loud applause and bravos for Tito, Carlo, and Max. Charlie Corcoran’s lavish, beautiful art deco set serves both practical needs (the seven strategically placed doors, a feeling of both spacious elegance and intimacy and much more) and aesthetic concerns, with appropriate lighting by David Lander and an array of colorful, creative, versatile period costumes by William Ivey Long.

In a recent article for American Theatre magazine, Mr. Ludwig described the creation of A Comedy of Tenors: “The writing of A Comedy of Tenors has turned out to be more fun than I’d ever imagined.

I thought I had said goodbye to the characters in Lend Me a Tenor when the play first opened on Broadway so many years ago, but A Comedy of Tenors has allowed me to spend time again with some of my very best friends. It’s been like going to TEMPERAMENTAL TENORS: Opera star Tito Merelli (Bradley Dean) attacks his young rival Carlo the best college reunion ever.

The legendary star tenor Tito Merelli (Bradley Dean) is late. He finally arrives at the hotel suite with his outspoken wife Maria (Antoinette LaVecchia), but he is in a constant state of crisis — first an apparent mid-life crisis over his waning fan appeal, then raging jealousy over what he mistakenly perceives as his wife’s infidelity, then a fit of paternal fury over his daughter Mimi’s (Kristen Martin) love life.

Meanwhile Mimi, a rising professional actress, is enjoying a passionate affair with Carlo (Bobby Conte Thornton), a handsome young tenor whom Tito sees as a rival in his opera career and in his family life. Amid the chaos as she seeks to avoid her father’s wrath, at one point Mimi finds herself taking a dive off the upstage balcony in her undergarments, then running across the soccer stadium field before eventually returning to the hotel suite to assert her claims.

Saunders (Ron Orbach), international impresario, consummate businessman, and former mayor of Cleveland, is determined to pull off this concert of the century no matter what. “What else can go wrong?” he asks at one point during the evening.

We know the answer: “everything.” Rob McClure’s Max, Saunders’s son-in-law and long-suffering assistant, who has proven

himself an opera star, is a thoroughly sympathetic character. He finally prevails as a voice of something like reason in the final minutes of the play, then finds out his wife has just given birth to a baby boy.

Signing on as the third tenor (or is it the fourth?) as Saunders panics over the disappearance of Tito and Carlo, is Beppo the bellhop, who appears at the door to the hotel suite singing “O Sole Mio,” and quickly finds himself thrown into the middle of the confusion, which is richly exacerbated by the fact that he bears an uncanny resemblance to Tito.

And just in case anyone needs another dose of farcical material and pandemonium, who should appear but Tito’s old girlfriend, the fiercely sensual (“Men are being afraid of me, I am not knowing why”) Russian starlet Tatiana Racon (Lisa Brescia).

Before the final curtain the farcical shenanigans are further fueled by jokes about the French, jokes about opera (with self-pitying Tito using lines from famous operas to lament his plight), sight gags that provide a plethora of jokes about undergarments and a large cow’s tongue (on a food tray provided for Tito), and a generous allotment of pursuits, pratfalls, and double takes. And if you missed anything, the whole play is reenacted in 90

Theater Lewis Center for the Arts Presents “The Seagull”

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Theater at Princeton University will present The Seagull by Anton Chekhov, directed by faculty member Mark Nelson and featuring seniors Cameron Platt as Arkadina and Anna Aronson as Nina, on October 23, 28, 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and October 24 at 3 p.m. Performances will take place in the Marie and Edward Matthews ’53 Acting Studio located at 185 Nassau Street. A discussion with the director and cast will follow the October 24 performance.

With ironic humor and piercing compassion, Chekhov’s 1896 masterpiece explores the unquenchable human desire to live an exceptional life.

At a lakeside estate in Russia, a famous actress gathers friends and family to watch her troubled son’s new play.

The night will change the lives of ten characters intoxicated by longing for the elusive twin visions of love and art. “I’m addicted to all of Chekhov’s writing, so bracingly honest and so richly human,” says director Mark Nelson, “but for young people dreaming of a life in the arts, this play has a special pull.” The production uses Paul Schmidt’s accessible, American 1998 translation.

Nelson, an actor and director, is a faculty member in the Lewis Center’s Program in Theater. He has appeared frequently on and off-Broadway, and is set to star in the 2016 national tour of Cabaret. He has directed plays at Manhattan Theatre Club, McCarter Theatre, George Street Playhouse, and Chautauqua Theatre Company, and directed the Lewis Center for the Arts’ 2010 fall show, The Good Person of Setzuan. A member of Princeton’s Class of 1977, Nelson recalls seeing a production of The Seagull at McCarter during his freshman year that influenced his decision to pursue acting.

Anna Aronson, a senior in the sociology department, and Cameron Platt, a senior in the English department, also receiving a certificate in medieval studies, will appear in this production as part of their theses in the Program in Theater.

The cast also features Charlie Baker ’17, Dylan Blau Edelstein ’16, Frank Africano ’16, Nadia Diamond ’17, Ross Barron ’17, Ryan Gedrich ’16, Stanley Mathabane ’17, and Tess Marchant ’16. Charlotte Sall ’16 will serve as stage manager with David Cruikshank ’17 and Sam Gravitte ’17 as assistant stage managers.

Tickets for The Seagull are $12 general admission and $11 for students and seniors when purchased in advance, and $17 general admission and $15 for students and seniors purchased the day of performances at the box office. To purchase tickets online visit arts.princeton.edu/seagull, or call Princeton University ticketing at (609) 258 9220, or stop by the Frist Campus Center ticket office. Tickets will also be available at the door prior to performances.

CINEMA REVIEW

Meet the Patels

Indian-American Bachelor Searches for Wife in Family Documentary

T

wenty-nine-year-old Ravi Patel’s parents, Champa and Vasant, are Indian immigrants living in America who have begun pressuring Ravi to find a wife in accordance with their traditional courting customs.

That means that they would initiate a process that would only consider a woman from the same caste as theirs, and preferably someone who already shares the family’s surname.

However, Ravi, who was born and raised in the United States, had little interest in choosing a mate in such a limited fashion, especially since he’s been secretly dating Audrey (who is not from India) for the past few years and he has fallen in love with her. Nevertheless, he decided to allow his parents to play matchmakers, but also arranged for his big sister Geeta to film the family’s comical attempts to find Ms. Right through a series of carefully arranged introductions.

Can an American college graduate agree to an arranged marriage when it’s time to settle down? That is the question posed by Meet the Patels, a delightful documentary that is co-directed by Ravi and Geeta.

The picture is hilarious, thanks to Champa and Vasant’s well-intentioned but overbearing style of parenting.

It is clear that they want the best for their son, even if

their concerns reflect values that Ravi believes in.

They escort Ravi to India to attend a Patel matrimonial convention where he speed-dates a number of eligible women. When he fails to make a connection with any of them, the family returns to California where there is a much smaller pool of appropriate potential wives to choose from.

“We’re paying the price, culturally, for moving to the U.S.,” his mother moans when her son rejects an overweight engineer she found for him at an online website.

Meanwhile, comments from relatives like, “I need a marriage this year; I might die soon,” only serve to ratchet up the tension. Meanwhile, Audrey is patiently waiting in the wings and reminds Ravi that, “I have an interest in being your partner.”

Ravi’s difficult decision ultimately rests on whether ethnicity matters more to him than compatibility in the selection of a mate.

Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG for mature themes, suggestive images, and smoking. In English and Gurjarati with subtitles. Running time: 88 minutes. Distributor: Alchemy.

Families in Need continued from page one

Eventually, they were able to purchase a house of their own on Birch Avenue.

“Most importantly, it allowed the kids to stay in the Princeton school district, where they thrived,” Ms. Okoth said. Son Pinto Adhola graduated from Princeton University and now attends law school at Georgetown University. Daughter Simone Awor is a model in New York. Another son goes to Vanderbilt University, while a fourth offspring attends school online.

The family will share remarks at HIP’s annual Rent Party on Saturday, October 24, at Princeton’s Present Day Club.

P r ov i d i n g t r a n s i t i o n a l housing to low-income working families and individuals — some of whom are homeless or facing homelessness — has been the mission of HIP since it was organized in 2001. The organization has been offering housing at three locations. Those selected to live in these three-bedroom units can stay for up to 24 months and are asked to assist with

rent, based on their income.

Typically, they live in the units for about 21 months and contribute 30 percent of the rent.

But more is needed. “Even though we don’t have additional units to place people, we are expanding our capacity with the rental assistance program, which we started in 2013,” said Ruth Thurmond Scott, who is stepping down after 11 years chairing the Board of Trustees. “We have to raise money.”

Many of the clients who are helped by HIP are in affordable housing and trying to

retain what they have. While the economy has improved for many people, “The portion of the population we assist, which is very low income, has not seen substantial improvement,” Ms. Scott said. “These are low wage, lower skilled workers. That’s why HIP is so important. We never want to be perceived as providing charity, but as empowering families so they can chart out a course with our help.”

HIP’s model is in line with a two-generational approach to break the cycle of poverty. Promoted by The Annie

FALL HARVEST FESTIVAL

E. Casey Foundation and the Aspen Institute, the idea is to foster the economic wellbeing of parents while simultaneously supporting their children’s education.

“The parents accepted into the HIP program are employed or employable, understanding that HIP exists to provide a bridge from imminent homelessness to permanent affordable housing, a short term respite where they’ll receive tools for self-sufficiency,” Ms. Scott said.”

Families are sometimes referred to HIP by clergy or other sources. “These are folks who really want to keep their children in the school district they’re in, which can be Princeton or West Windsor,” Ms. Scott said. “Just the fact that there is no disruption enables the kids to focus on their education. And that prepares them to get into universities. What that says to us is that these children have the same potential as others, but they need the opportunity to be around other children focused on education. They need access to the kinds of resources that exist in Princeton and similar communities, like afterschool enrichment.”

Mr. Adhola confirms this.

“One of the nicer things about the way HIP helped us is that it wasn’t really something I had to think about,” he said. “I think it’s really telling that I was just able to live my life and continue at my school. I didn’t worry about it because I didn’t have to. And they made that possible.”

Some 27 children have lived w ith their families in HIP homes, attending school in the Princeton, West Windsor-Plainsboro,

and Montgomery systems.

Three who attended private schools are merit scholars.

Two have enlisted in the U.S. Armed Forces, while others have gone on to such universities as Princeton, Wesleyan, Vanderbilt, and Widener.

There is research indicating that environment and education are two proven paths out of poverty, Ms. Scott said. “It starts with families wanting a better life.

If we can ensure that, giving them access to a better education, and at least, affordable housing, then they have a chance. For the kids who have excelled, it starts with housing. If they have a safe place to call home, they have a better chance.”

A succession planning committee and a local nonprofit consultant is working on finding a replacement for Ms. Scott. A member of the town’s housing board, Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance, and the Mercer County Board of Elections, Ms. Scott said she is stepping down because it’s time. “I believe in term limits, and it’s a long term for me,” she said. “Leadership change is healthy — for the person, for the organization, and particularly for an allvolunteer, community-based organization. New people can bring in new ideas and try different things.”

The sixth annual Rent Party on Saturday starts at 7 p.m. and includes African-Caribbean-inspired live music, food, cocktails, and a silent auction. The Present Day Club is located at 72 Stockton Street. Visit www.housinginitiativesofprinceton.org to attend, or contribute to the rental assistance fund.

Symanovich Helps PU Women’s Soccer Top Columbia, Sizzling Tigers Ready for Pivotal Showdown at Harvard

D

espite moving to defense from midfield this fall in her sophomore season on the Princeton University women’s soccer team, Mikaela Symanovich has emerged as an offensive catalyst for the Tigers.

After contributing a goal and three assists last fall, Symanovich already has six assists so far this season.

In reflecting on her playmaking prowess, Symanovich believes that having a season of college soccer under her belt has made a big difference.

“Last year, I was outside mid a lot and this year I have been dropped back a little bit,” said Symanovich, a native of San Francisco.

“Definitely the biggest change as a sophomore is having a little bit more confidence on the ball and having more of a leadership role within the team. Those have been huge factors helping me this season.”

Last Saturday evening, Symanovich displayed her ball skills, getting assists on two early goals as Princeton defeated Columbia 3-1, improving to 11-3 overall and 4-0 Ivy League, posting their ninth straight win in the process.

“Our forwards are really great at getting on the end of crosses if you get it a little behind the defense,” said Symanovich, who found junior star Tyler Lussi for a header 10:56 into the game and then blasted a cross into the box two minutes later that was bodied into the net by freshman standout Mimi Asom.

“It has definitely worked for us on a few goals. I had another one with Sam McDonough that connected in an earlier game against Army. A lot of time, I try to look for that because the forwards want to get on the end of that. They are good at getting the extra inch to get that shot.”

The Tigers hit the pitch with a little extra edge Saturday, fueled by a tough loss to the Lions in 2014.

“Last year we played them at Columbia and we ended up losing 1-0,” said Symanovich.

“When we look back on that game, it was a huge deciding factor in our season last year. It effectively ended our season. So there was a lot of motivation to end their season this time. We have a lot of momentum for sure and that definitely helps us and

gets us amped up for the game.”

Princeton built a 3-0 lead early in the second half on a tally by Emily Sura before giving up a goal with just over 15 minutes left in regulation. The Tigers shut the door on the Lions from that point.

“When you are up by a few goals it is easy to let up and end up kicking it a lot,” said Symanovich.

“I think we really had to maintain focus there once they get one and not let it continue to snowball there and get any more.”

As things have snowballed for the Tigers during their winning streak, Symanovich believes a love for competition has sparked the team.

“Honestly I think our team has a really great chemistry and dynamic,” asserted Symanovich.

“People are lifting each other up and nobody on this team wants to lose, these are some of the most competitive girls I have played with. We have that continuous competitive nature in practice with everyone pushing each other. We do not want to let up.”

In Symanovich’s view, letting wins get away in one-goal losses to Duquesne and Delaware early in September steeled Princeton.

“Of the three games that we lost, we felt that we should not have lost two of them,” said Symanovich. “I think that a switch within us turned a little bit because we didn’t want to continue our season like that.”

While Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll was pleased with his team’s performance in the win over Columbia, he acknowledged that it turned off the switch at times.

“They were chomping at the bit to play, you could just see the energy, it was very clear,” said Driscoll.

“We did really well for the first 25 minutes and then we fell off a little bit. I thought we dropped our level. It is what happens all the time, you get a couple of quick goals and you tend to drop off.”

In Driscoll’s view, the Tigers have picked things up at the defensive end.

“We have three shutouts in the last five games so conceding a goal is a little unfortunate,” said Driscoll.

“They are doing better in the league. I think we have scored 13 goals and given up three. That is a plus-10 so that is awesome. I hope we can keep it going.”

The play of Symanovich has helped the defensive unit get it going. “Mikaela is a converted wide forward; she has been very welcome to playing in the back,” said Driscoll.

“She is playing a ton of minutes. She is an incredibly hard worker. She never stops and she has been rewarded for her fitness level. She is relentless. She gets forward and gets involved in the play.

She is just really very energetic and you have got to love that.”

Driscoll loves the way his team has come together in his first year at the helm of the program.

“It is the chemistry of the team, they want to win desperately,” said Driscoll.

“They want to right any teams that they have lost to over the last couple of years.

They hadn’t beaten Columbia in a couple of years and they wanted to repay that so that was a good result for them.

It didn’t take long for the Princeton University football team to find itself in an uphill battle as it played at Brown last Saturday.

Taking the opening kickoff, Brown’s Alex Jette raced 99 yards for a touchdown as the Bears went up 7-0.

The Tigers responded with a 1-yard touchdow n r un

by John Lovett to knot the game at 7-7. Early in the second quarter, though, Brown we nt u p 21-7. A n ot h e r touchdown by Lovett, this time on a 42-yard reception, narrowed the gap to 21-13 at halftime.

The Tigers trailed 24-16 midway through the third quarter and 31-24 early in the fourth. A 10-yard TD pass from Chad Kanoff to Scott Carpenter tied the game at 31-31 with 10:00 left in regulation. But Brown was able to respond with a touchdown in the last minute of the quarter and held off the Tigers to pull out a 38-31 win.

In reflecting on the defeat which dropped the Tigers to 4-1 overall and 1-1 Ivy League, Princeton head coach Bob Surace had no qualms with the effort he got from his players.

“We had a lot of resiliency all day; we came back a number of times and did some really good things,” said Surace.

“I think there is a lot of trust that our guys are going to fight hard and keep making adjustments and we did.

I said to somebody earlier in the week, this is going to be the classic game where it goes back and forth and it did.”

Princeton battled to the end, starting the final possession of the day on its 20-yard-line with 52 seconds left in regulation and getting to the Brown 42 before a sack of quarterback Chad Kanoff ended the contest.

“O u r g uys kept f ighting ; we had the ball inside their territory on the

last drive,” said Surace.

“We had our opportunities at the end and didn’t convert and they did at the end of the day so credit to them.”

While Kanoff passed for a career-high 321 yards in the setback, Surace acknowledged that the junior star was under too much pressure in the pocket throughout much of the afternoon.

“We have to work on our pass protection, that was not as good as it has been throughout the year,” said Surace.

“We made some terrific throws and catches and everything else but we can’t have our quarterback under duress that much. It came back to haunt us with a couple of picks. He was disrupted.”

Princeton was also haunted by some sloppy play as it was hit with 11 penalties for 94 yards.

“In my five and one-half years here, we have been one of the least penalized teams in the country and it is something we harp on,” said Surace.

“We didn’t play with the proper discipline at times.

On a couple of drives defensively, we gave them way too many free yards. We had a couple of big plays offensively they called back on minor things, like pre-snap penalties, being lined up wrong.

We have to do better.”

Although Surace won’t harp on it, the Tigers were stretched thin at Brown as injuries have sidelined a number of key players, including running backs DiAndre Atwater and Joe Rhattigan, receiver Seth DeValve, and defensive lineman Kurt Holuba.

“It is not ideal, obviously you would like your guys to play,” said Surace, who lost star linebacker Rohan Hylton and senior offensive lineman Spencer Huston to injury during the loss to the Bears.

“Every time a starter goes down and a reserve takes his

place, a special teams guy has to jump up. It does make it a little more difficult for the coaches because some of these guys haven’t gotten the quantity of reps that they have needed. I thought we did a great job adjusting to that, some guys stepped up and they are going to have to keep stepping up.

Nobody is going to feel sorry for us.”

Princeton is not feeling sorry for itself as it looks ahead to the second half of the season.

“We have to find answers,” said Surace. “We need to keep putting together good game plans and keep practicing hard. I think we have a really tough-minded group so we will get that process started again and get the bad taste of a loss out of our system.”

This Saturday, the Tigers face a tough challenge as they head north to take on a dominant Harvard squad, the defending league champions who are 5-0 overall and 2-0 Ivy, having climbed to No. 15 in the national polls.

“We are facing a tremendous team,” said Surace of Har vard, which has won 19 straight games and has scored 221 points this season while giving up 40, having not lost since it fell to Princeton 51-48 in triple overtime in 2013.

“The only tape I have seen on them is when I was watching Brown. They dominated that game on special teams and forced errors. They just capitalize on your mistakes. I don’t know the last time they have given up a touchdown so they are obviously playing really well on defense.

Offensively, they don’t turn it over much. They make a lot of plays and they have a lot of weapons.”

With Princeton hoping to get some of its weapons back for Saturday’s clash, Surace knows his team has to make big plays to come through.

“We know the challenges ahead; all the league games are going to be tight games,” said Surace.

“Our league did really well versus the Patriot League and those teams have 60 scholarships. Our league hasn’t done this well out of conference in a long time against scholarship schools.

That is what we have to be prepared for. Hopefully we get some guys back and the guys that are going to play will do a great job.”

Emphasizing Overall Toughness, Consistency, PU Women’s Hockey Excited for 2015-16 Season After experiencing a bit of a roller-coaster ride last winter in going 15-14-2, the Princeton University women’s hockey team hopes to be on a more even keel in the upcoming season.

“I think the thing we are working on is mental and physical toughness, being consistent every day, no matter who we play,” said Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal, a former Tiger men’s hockey star who is entering his 20th season guiding the women’s program, compiling a 285 242-53 record.

“It is just giving our best effort. If we have a big win, we need to show up the next day. If we don’t do well in a particular game we need to show up better the next day.”

Showing up earlier for preseason practice should help the Tigers play better from the outset.

“This year we were granted an extra week of practice by the Ivy League which has been helpful so we haven’t had to rush through things,” s aid Kampers al, whos e team star ts its 2015 -16 campaign with a two-game set at Mercyhurst on October 23-24.

“But that said, our kids are ready to play games.

We had a couple of scrimmages this weekend and they are ready for the regular season now.”

Kampersal is confident that his top line of junior Molly Contini (28 points on 16 goals and 12 assists in 2014-15), senior Jaimie McDonell (11 goals, 14 assists) and junior Hilary Lloyd (6 goals, 15 assists) is ready to pick up where it left off last winter.

“Jaimie, Molly, and Hilary will be back and we expect them to produce like they did last year,” said Kampersal. “Right now they are all doing well.”

Princeton is hoping for increased production from such returning veterans as junior Morgan Sly (8 goals, 4 assists), sophomore Kiersten Falck (2 goals, 13 assists), junior Fiona McKenna (3 goals, 4 assists), junior Cassidy Tucker (3 goals, 3 assists) and senior Cristin Shanahan (5 goals, 4 assists).

“We hope to get more from Sly this year,” adde d K a m p e r s a l. “Fa l c k , McKenna, and Tucker are

playing together and they are all clicking. They look like they have had pretty good chemistry. They have a pretty good skill set, there is a lot of speed and they have been able to keep the puck in the offensive zone for long stretches of time to give us opportunities.”

Two freshmen forwards, Karlie Lund and Keiko DeClerck will get opportunities to shine.

“Karlie has got really good vision, she made a couple of good passes on the power play this weekend so she looked good,” said Kampersal.

“DeClerck is a really fast player. Her role will be a 5-on-5 role and hopefully on the penalty kill as well.”

Kampersal believes that junior Kelsey Koelzer can reprise her role as one of the top scoring defenseman in ECAC Hockey.

“I told her this year would be way tougher than last year because people will be looking to key on her and pay more attention,” said Kampersal of Koelzer, who tallied 26 points on 8 goals and 18 assists last season.

“I thought she had a spectacular year last season; I know she has worked hard and I hope she matches it.

She might not match it in production but in terms of her presence and dominance, hopefully she does that.”

The Tigers will need some good work from the rest of the defensive corps, which includes junior Molly Strabley (5 assists), senior Karen MacDonald, sophomore Hannah Sorkin, and sophomore Emily Achterkirch (1 goal, 4 assists) along with a pair of promising freshmen, Stephanie Sucharda and Kimiko Marinacci.

“Hopefully all the d-men step up and do their job,” said Kampersal. “We have two young defensemen who are pretty good players, Stephanie Sucharda and Kimiko Marinacci. Steph is a good offensive defenseman and Kimiko is a really good defender so we are excited about those two kids as well.”

Kampersal is very excited to have senior star goalie Kimberly Newell (a 12-142 record in 2014-15 with a goals against average of 2.36 and a .925 save percentage) back for her fourth season as the team’s starting netminder.

“I think Kimberly has a chance to be the best in the league, it is a matter of her being consistent and our team helping her out in front of her,” said Kampersal, who has a solid back-up goalie in sophomore Alysia DaSilva (3-0 record, 0.37 goals against, .980 save percentage).

“She prepares well and is a student of the game. She is passionate about what she does. I expect her to have a dominant senior year.”

Across the board, the Tigers show a passion for the game and each other.

“Our team in general is in the best shape that they have ever been coming off the summer so that is exciting,” said Kampersal.

“The kids are really awesome, the culture is really good. They all help each other out. They are competitive with each other, which is healthy. They are great in school, they are great on campus, so it is a really good group.”

P r inceton faces some toug h comp e t it ion t h is weekend in Mercyhurst (03-1).

“They are really, really well coached, they have been in the top 8 for a long time,” said Kampersal.

“They will be really good, they have four games under their belt already. They are a quality team with quality offensive players. Hopefully we’ll go on the road and compete really hard.”

In Kampersal’s view, the Tigers could prove hard to beat this winter if they achieve their goal of daily consistency.

“I don’t want to put too much pressure on them but at the same time I do expect a lot,” said Kampersal.

“We can compete for a championship if we do our process every day. We have a good enough group to win.”

MFG., CO.

Chris Harla has been a defensive stalwart for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team over the last few years, bringing skill and physicality to the back line.

But this fall in his senior campaign, Harla has diversified his portfolio, emerging as a clutch goal scorer for the Little Tigers.

Last week, Harla scored the lone goal as PHS edged Notre Dame 1-0 in a clash of Colonial Valley Conference powers.

Harla’s tally came late in the first half on a curling free kick from Sam Serxner that he deftly headed into the back of the net.

“We have been working a lot at practices on set pieces, especially yesterday when we had a half an hour run,” said Harla.

“Sam and I know exactly what we are doing there.

He put the ball right where I wanted it and I just saw it and put it in.”

For Harla, the offensive outburst has come as a surprise. “I don’t know what it is because last year I had one goal and the year before I had one goal,” said Harla.

“I have eight goals this year, tied for the top with Cole (Snyder). I have five goals off of set pieces this year and two off of penalty kicks.”

While Harla is enjoying seeing his name on the score sheet, defense remains his calling card.

“I usually play center back and today I was playing outside back, just because we were trying to contain Chris Hawkins out there,” said Harla.

“This is my first time playing left back in a while. The guys are going a great job.

Edgar Morales has been really solid; Dwight Donis has been really solid. Drew Beamer has come in here and has done really well.”

The PHS defense was under the gun for much of the second half as Notre Dame repeatedly pressed forward, looking for the equalizer.

“T hey came out much more aggressively than they did in the first half,” noted Harla.

“In the first half, they gave us a lot of time on the ball. In the second half, they came out with a lot more in-

tensity and we were able to contain them but it was obviously much tougher than the first half.”

In Harla’s view, it was good for PHS to get tested

by Notre Dame with the postseason on the horizon.

“This is one of the strongest teams in our conference so playing them is definitely going to be good for the MCTs because we might see them again, you never know,” said Harla of the Little Tigers, who improved to 12-0-3 with a 1-0 win over Hightstown last Monday and will start action in the Mercer County Tournament this week where PHS is seeded first and slated to host 17th-seeded Nottingham in a first-round contest on October 21.

“It is a good test because we have been playing teams that are less than .500 in the past couple of games so it is good to play a team that is doing really well.”

Serving in his second year as a team captain, Harla has established himself as a good leader.

“I am a two-year captain, it is a big deal; it is the first time since ’97, I think,” said Harla.

“I am trying to do the best I can in leading. The other two captains, Pete Luther and Cole Snyder, are doing a great job. We are always very focused just trying to get the job done.”

Harla believes PHS can do big things down the stretch if it maintains its defensive intensity and gets a little more ball movement on offense.

“At this point, we are happy to have not dropped a game,” said Harla. “We had a couple of close calls. Our defense has been astonishing; I can’t complain about that. I think we need to make sure that we make more passes together because a lot of our goals have been off set pieces and PKs. It would be nice to get some goals out of open play, combining with a bunch of guys and getting a goal like that.”

PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe concurs, noting that he is looking for his team to be more cohesive on attack.

“We need to keep being able to keep the ball; we did

a good job today of managing the game, by and large,” said Sutcliffe.

“When we get into later stages of the game, we need to keep the ball better. We are looking for more possession, more combos, and to sharpen things when we are on the attack.”

Sutcliffe was thrilled with PHS’s sharp play on defense as it stifled Notre Dame’s high-powered attack.

“That is the goal, the trademark for us has been to keep rolling and not concede,” said Sutcliffe.

“Last week, we played three games but only had one shutout. That was a little uncharacteristic so a clean sheet today was the goal. Notre Dame has a lot of guys who can make it hard on you. Pete Luther, Edgar Morales, and Dwight Donis right up the center of the park were extraordinary for us. Chris Harla and Drew Beamer on the outside, were great.”

Harla has been great in many ways for the Little Tigers, according to Sutcliffe.

“Chris is scoring on some set pieces,” said Sutcliffe, noting that Harla played some games at forward recently as he was recovering from injury.

“He is contr ibuting in multiple ways. He is great.

I can’t say enough about Chris but he has to keep getting better.”

In Sutcliffe’s view, the win over Notre Dame was one of the better moments of the season so far.

“It just feels good for these guys,” said Sutcliffe. “Our game against Notre Dame was one of the two that we lost last year so it is good for the seniors.”

Harla and his fellow seniors are primed to end things with a bang. “Last year winning the MCT, winning the division, and going to the state final as a junior was a huge deal,” said Harla.

“We have really got to step up our game because we have a lot on our shoulders now. Everyone is expecting us to do big things because we are seniors. We have to work hard and stay focused and not try to take anything for granted and not assume that we are going to win everything because we did last year.”

Displaying Its Prowess With Victory in Fall Classic, PHS Girls’ Cross Country Psyched for County Meet Coming into the fall, Jim Smirk sensed that people had doubts as to whether his Princeton High girls’ cross country team could regain its standing as a perennial power.

“We have been working all season on trying to put together our identity; we had a lot of seniors last year and they were a good group of seniors,” said PHS head coach Smirk.

“There were a lot of question marks, more so from other people than ourselves, about how good we could be.

A lot of people were floating around that it is a rebuilding year; there was this idea that it was OK if we weren’t very good.”

Those doubts were dispelled earlier this month when PHS floated to a firstplace finish in the team standings at the Fall Classic. Senior star Lou Mialhe took place third individually to set the pace for the Little Tigers, clocking a time of 19:17.20 over the 5-kilometer course at Thompson Park in Jamesburg. Sophomore Chloe Taylor took sixth in 19:52.20 while junior Izzy Trenholm was eighth in 20:02.20 and junior Anne Fleur Hartmanshenn placed 17th in 20:31.50. PHS had a score of 69 to edge Westfield, who came in with 71 in the team competition that included 16 schools.

“The Fall Classic actually helped us say wait a minute here, every year we are working on building great athletes,” said Smirk.

“It doesn’t matter whether they graduated a bunch of seniors. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have a lot of seniors on varsity. Our goal is the same, to provide these kids with the best opportunity for success that we can. I am really pleased with our result but I can’t say that I am surprised.”

Smirk is pleased with the performance he has been getting from senior star Mialhe at the front of the PHS pack.

“Lou is bringing a high level of focus and commitment to everything she is doing,” said Smirk.

“I think she has learned a lot over the years and she is really starting to apply that.

She is really taking a shot at making us a better team by doing those things.”

R ising sophomore star Taylor, for her part, is applying some valuable lessons she gained last fall in her first season with the program.

“There was no pressure on her as a freshman to carry

the load; she was able to learn what it takes to be a champion level competitor,” said Smirk.

“In middle school, she won a lot of races because she was flat out better but when you get to high school, that is not always going to be the case. You are going to go against girls who are physically better than you and you will have to find ways to beat them. That’s what we wanted her to learn as a freshman and it is showing off now. She has been running really well.”

Junior Trenholm has also been doing very well for the Little Tigers his fall.

“Last year, she was a contributor on varsity but had a tough end to the season,” said Smirk.

“She got sick at the end of the season so this year she came with the idea that that could very well happen again so I need to make sure I make my impact every time I go out. She has been running with the idea that it is not enough for there to be there, she has got to make an impact and that is what we have seen from her.”

Hartmanshenn is developing into an impact performer for PHS. “I would say that the breakout star for us, the individual that is coming into her own is Anne Fleur Hartmanshenn,” asserted Smirk.

“She is a kid who freshman year was good but not our best freshman. Sophomore year she was good and she was a scorer on varsity for track. She was the eighth person in cross country and doing her job, winning JV

races. She looked good but couldn’t quite crack into the varsity. She put in some work over the summer and she comes out this year and every time she races you see her grow in that varsity role.

That’s what you want.”

While PHS didn’t get the result it wanted at the CVC Colonial Division meet last Wednesday at Veteran’s Park in Hamilton, Smirk saw it as a good learning experience for the squad.

“The divisional meet was a little tough for us; Izzy did not have a great race,” said Smirk, whose team fell 2433 to WW/P-S but defeated W W/ P-N 17- 40, Trenton 15-50, and Notre Dame 2136.

“She was not feeling real well, it was just a hiccup in the training. But on the flip side, Emma Eikelberner, who had been struggling this season, really stepped up and ran a very strong race for us. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get ahead of South’s middle pack. They beat us head to head and rightfully so, they are a good team. We will keep working at it. We didn’t come into that race fully formed. We know that isn’t the team we are going to look like in a month.”

Wit h t he cou nt y meet taking place this Friday at Thompson Park, Smirk feels his team will be in the running for the title.

“Our game plan is let’s do a better job securing our top four,” said Smirk.

“Lou is doing a great job; she is going to have some really tough competition.

There are some other girls out there if you make a mistake they are going to make you pay.”

CELEBRATING 100 YEARS CELEBRATING 100 YEARS OF SERVICE, 1915-2015

With Senior Snyder Guiding the Back Line, PHS Field Hockey Rolls Into MCT Quarters For Julia Snyder, the Senior Day ceremony for the Princeton High field hockey team last Wednesday helped put in perspective how far she has come during her career.

“I have been playing center back now for three years and just being back there for our last home game, I remember my first time doing it and the difference in who I am now, going from a sophomore to now being a senior,” said senior defender and co-captain Snyder, reflecting on the pre-game festivities that took place before the Little Tigers faced Nottingham.

“Coming in as a sophomore during my first year on the team, the captains would lead me and give me a lot of direction. Something I always had to work on was communication on the field and being a voice in the back. I am able to see the whole field and communicate who is behind people to all the other players.”

Snyder’s voice was heard loud and clear along the back line as PHS stifled Nottingham on the way to a 7-0 victory.

“I think things are really clicking for us at the end of the regular season and I think it is going to follow us into postseason,” said Snyder.

“In our past two games, we have had this goal to get a score in the first seven minutes and we have succeeded in that.”

On Saturday, PHS experienced success in the first round of the Mercer County Tournament as the fifthseeded Little Tigers defeated No. 12 Ewing 5-0 to post its fifth straight shutout.

“We definitely are coming together,” said Snyder, reflecting on the play of the PHS defensive unit. “We are getting used to marking and communicating with each other, seeing who is open.

Communication is a big part that we have been working on. Our focus is partly marking, just knowing who you are going to be on before it is too late and you are down in the circle.”

PHS head coach Heather Serverson liked the focus her team displayed in the win over Nottingham.

“I think it’s good to make sure that you are tying up s om e loos e ends,” s aid Serverson.

“We had some things we were working on today, like switching fields and drawing corners. I think we were successful with those things.

We were also working on purposeful passing, that was the one they did the best on today.”

The team’s group of seniors has showed a sense of purpose over their careers.

“I think over the years they have provided the commitment and leadership that was established before they got here but they continued that tradition,” said Serverson, whose Class of 2016 includes Natalie Campisi, Maggie Lynch, Lucia Matteo, Trish Reilly, and Maggie Welch in addition to Snyder.

“Even in the last four years having this group of seniors have improved from year OFweSERVICE, 1915-2015 one through year four as

well. They have done a good job teaching the younger girls how to replace them well.”

In Serverson’s view, Snyder has grown into a key leader for the Little Tigers.

“Julia has really developed with her vocal leadership,” said Serverson.

“She has always been a good role model but I think now she feels more confident and she is able to guide the girls on the field as well.

I think that has really paid off.”

Snyder’s g uidance has helped the PHS defensive unit become a strength of the team.

“They are a solid unit; I think that line probably has the most depth of any line that we have on this team,” asserted Serverson.

“I feel confident with most of those girls on the field at any time.”

As PHS turns its focus to postseason success, Serverson is confident that the team’s offense can be more balanced.

“I think we are still relying heavily on certain players but I think the others are coming along,” added Ser verson, who got t wo goals apiece from junior star Aver y Peterson and freshman standout Mariana Lopez-Ona in the win over Ewing in the MCT opener. “ We have re a lly b een working on it, the quick shots, shooting from different angles, tipping. It is a

lot of what our practice has been about so hopefully as we progress through the tournament, that will get better and better.

Having progressed to the MCT semis in 2013 and the title game last fall Serverson believes that her squad can make another deep tournament run.

“We are healthy, school isn’t over whelming right now, and the weather has been great,” said Serverson, whose team was slated to play at No. 4 Pennington in the MCT quarterfinals on October 20 with winner advancing to the semifinals on October 22.

“It seems like all the variables have been moving in our favor. I think we are finally starting to pull the loose ends together. I think we are starting to solidify and function as a team on the field as opposed to 11 players on the field.”

Snyder, for her part, is confident that PHS can take the next step. “We are trying to take this whole thing home,” said Snyder.

“In my sophomore year we made it to the semis, in my junior year we were in the finals, and this year as a senior hopefully we will win the whole thing. I think the improvement we have shown from the beginning of the season to now reflects greatly upon us. It shows that we can identify our issues, improve them, and work on them. It is only going to make us a stronger team.”

The Senior Day ceremony for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team took place last Thursday before it hosted perennial power Pennington and it didn’t last long as Izzy Meyercord was the only member of the Class of 2016 on the squad.

But for defender and co-captain Meyercord, it was a long, hard road to that day, having suffered broken legs that sidelined her as a sophomore and junior.

That injury history had Meyercord concerned as she entered the 2015 campaign.

“I think the past two years having broken my leg has gotten into my head a little bit,” said the 6’0 Meyercord, who also stars for the PDS girls’ hoops team. “I have been really worried, having the same injury but in different legs.”

With PDS bringing an 11-01 record into the clash against Pennington, Meyercord likes the heady play the Panthers have been getting from their core of youthful performers.

“We have a lot of young new players come in and they give us everything they have,” added Meyercord. “We are giving them a lot of minutes and they are giving us the results so I am really proud of the young players.”

While the Panthers went on to suffer their first defeat of the fall as they dropped a hardfought 1-0 nail-biter to the Red Raiders in overtime, Meyercord was proud of the team’s performance.

“With our coaching staff and with all the returning players we just wanted to come out here and give them a match and a hard battle,” said Meyercord.

“We haven’t beaten them in a while and we just wanted to give the hardest game we could

give them. I think this is what we did.”

The PDS defense has been extremely hard to score on this fall, posting eight straight shutouts at one point.

“I have really been relying on my backs, Maddie Coyne, Rebecca Kuzmicz, and Emily Simons,” said Meyercord, reflecting on the team’s defensive unit which also features star sophomore goalie Grace Barbara.

“They have really been helping me through this whole process.

We have had a lot of leadership from Maddie Coyne in the center. Moving Becca back into the middle was a big help, she is great in the air and she has been a big force for us.”

With the Panthers seeded first in both the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B tourney, Meyercord believes the defeat to Pennington could end up being a blessing in disguise.

“I think having a game like this going into the postseason is really helpful to see what the teams we are going to be playing are like,” said Meyercord “I think this is just more motivation for us. We are going to wipe this out, it just rolls right off. It makes us hungrier going into the tournaments.”

PDS head coach Pat Trombetta liked the hunger his players displayed in battling the Red Raiders.

“I thought we matched their intensity and aggressiveness on the field, “ said Trombetta.

“We had quality opportunities on a few of the crosses. It is a game that is tough to lose for either team because it was a battle. I am proud of the effort these girls gave today.”

In Trombetta’s view, the loss

could actually portend a big postseason run. “I told them if you look at 2013, it is the same road map where we came into this game late in the season undefeated and came up short and rolled from there,” said Trombetta, whose team won the Mercer County Tournament and placed second in the state Prep B tourney that fall.

“It is a gauge for us to see if we can play with the top teams in the area and we passed that test today.”

Having Meyercord play at full speed has been a huge plus for the Panthers.

“The defense was great and Izzy has been coming on; you can see her improvement as the season goes on,” asserted Trombetta, whose back line was sharp Monday as PDS defeated South Hunterdon 3-0 in improving to 12-1-1.

“You can see her getting up on the attack, she is playing with a lot more confidence this year.

She is healthy. If you look at the leadership, all the girls respect her as a leader. They all talk about her positive attitude, energy, and enthusiasm. It is just catching with the rest of the team.”

The Panthers will need that energy and enthusiasm as it begins postseason action by hosting 16th-seeded Nottingham in its MCT opener on October 21 and then hosting eighth-seeded Trinity Hall the next day in the first round of the Prep B tourney.

“We got four games scheduled for next week, it is going to be a challenging week because we are playing back-to-back with the county and the Preps,” said Trombetta.

“It is always a difficult time of the year. We are starting to get other girls involved, we are going to the bench a little bit more.

Pennington is a game that we went after. We don’t know the last time we have beaten them but just taking them into overtime was a step up in the right direction.”

Meyercord, for her part, believes that PDS can take both titles. “I think our biggest goal is just to have both trophies, we want to be the first PDS girls’ soccer team in history to have both trophies,” said Meyercord.

“This is the year we think we can do it. I think we have had a lot of team chemistry this year.

I think that a lot of older players have taken younger players under their wing, really helped them, and shown them what to do.”

Coming into its Mercer County Tournament opening round contest against visiting Hightstown last Friday, the Hun School field hockey team was mired in a three-game losing streak.

But Hun head coach Kathy Quirk felt confident that her sixth-seeded Raiders could break out against the 11th-seeded Rams.

“We have been in a slump but we have been scoring goals at least,” said Quirk.

“We scored two against Germantown Academy (in a 6-2 loss on Wednesday), which is a very good team. I thought that was going to carry over today.”

Things didn’t go well for Hun in the first half as Hightstown jumped out to a 1-0 lead by intermission, controlling possession for much of the first 30 minutes of the contest.

“We got outhustled, we got outplayed,” said Quirk, reflecting on the first half. “It is pretty simple.”

At halftime, Quirk’s message to her team was simple. “We have got to move to the ball and you have got to decide whether you want to win or you don’t,” said Quirk.

“We were more aggressive,” said Quirk, citing the hustle of junior star Julie Fassl, who made a

FALL - BIO-FERTILIZATION With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

A NATURAL SYSTEMS APPROACH TO TREE HEALTH

Most urban landscape soils are in poor condition. The soils are highly compacted and too low in organic matter forcing trees and shrubs to grow under stress. Healthy soil biology allows plants to maximize soil fertility even in the harshest urban environments. Plant soil biology is often overlooked.

Plants are living organisms that rely on partnerships with soil microbes to live and grow. These microbes, including beneficial soil bacteria and fungi, are important to plant growth, because they convert lifeless mineral soil into dynamic and fertile areas.

In fact, the more stressful the growing conditions, the more important these biological components become.

The biological products we use provide a natural systems approach to soil health which assists the roots of plants, trees, flowers and lawns to improved access to water, minerals and nutrients, allowing your plants to flourish and reach their growth potential!

Mycorrhizal fungi and rhizoshpere bacteria create soil fertility and plant growth: In nature, certain species of beneficial bacteria promote healthy plant growth and protect plant root systems from soil born diseases. These “good” bacteria are called rhizobacteria.

While common in natural settings, their populations are often very low in our urban and man made landscapes. Adding naturalbased products containing Mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria as a part of a regular maintenance program will improve your soil fertility and improve your plant’s health!

For many of our trees that have suffered this summer from heat/drought stress, no amount of rainfall now can replace the food loss that occurred during the growing season. Bio-Fertilization along with our organic root promoter is a must this fall to encourage new root growth and give them a head start for spring.

Call WOODWINDS at 609924-3500 for a “natural systems assessment” of your landscape.

“Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected.”

STOCKTON REAL ESTATE… A Princeton Tradition PLANTING FOR FALL: TRY THESE 5 TREES FOR SPECTACULAR FOLIAGE

Experience ✦ Honesty ✦ Integrity 32 Chambers Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 (800) 763-1416 ✦ (609) 924-1416

One of the perks of living in the Northeast in the fall is getting to enjoy the beautiful autumn foliage.

If you'd like to being a little of that beauty to your own yard, now is the perfect time of year to add a new shade tree that can make your yard an autumn showpiece. Here are five beauties to consider:

• • • • •

Sugar or red maple: Both trees offer shades ranging from brilliant yellow to deep red.

Sassafras: Not only does this tree provide a kaleidoscope of fall color, it also offers several different leaf shapes for added visual interest.

Gingko: Described as a “living fossil,” this tree has been around since the time of the dinosaurs. In the fall, the tree's fan-shaped leaves turn a deep, buttery yellow.

Black tupelo: Autumn shades can range from yellow to orange to scarlet and even purple, plus it produces fruits that birds love.

Sweetgum: Like the tupelo, the sweetgum's star-shaped leaves turn nearly every hue in autumn's rainbow.

Planting in the fall gives a tree time to adjust, but do it before the ground gets hard, and add a burlap cover to protect it from freezing winds if needed.
