The Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS), in a statement released last week, continued to accuse the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) of “flagrant disregard” for the “widespread and longstanding public opposition” to its plans to build 15 faculty housing units on a seven-acre tract at the edge of the battlefield. Institute Director of Communications Christine Ferrara stated, “the project continues to move ahead, as we have all the necessary regulatory approvals to proceed. As we have stated previously, the plan as configured addresses the concerns raised by the opposition, and will be adding 14 acres of open space adjacent to the current Battlefield State Park.” IAS, currently seeking bids for construction, has devoted a section of its websitewww.ias.edu to Preservation and Faculty Housing, where it outlines the development and adaptation of its housing project in the light of preservation issues. An April 2016 letter on the website from Institute Director Robbert Dijkgraaf claimed that the PBS, along with the Save Princeton Coalition of allied historic and conservation organizations, has waged a PR campaign to repeat misstatements that have been unequivocally rejected by the courts. Mr. Dijkgraaf in his letter noted that the Institute incorporated extensive changes to the faculty housing plans in response to concerns of the public, including: “moving the project further away from the Park; adjusting the profiles and materials of the housing units; and enhancing the landscaped screen between the site and the Park.” Last week’s statement by PBS claimed that the housing project would ”wreak havoc on historic Maxwell’s field, the site where George Washington charged to victory during the January 3, 1777 Battle of Princeton.” The Battlefield Society cited public opposition from fellow members of the Princeton Coalition and in the form of a recent Philadelphia Inquirer editorial, earlier editorials in The Times of Trenton and The Daily Princetonian, as well as opinion pieces from state legislators and others. The Battlefield Society continues to seek a halt to construction through a law suit filed under the Clean Water Act and also to pursue its appeal of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission 2015 decision to approve the housing project. —Anne Levin

Haldane Wins Nobel Prize in Physics
Princeton University professor F. Duncan Haldane has been awarded the 2016 Nobel prize in Physics for revealing secrets of exotic states of matter, such as superconductivity, discoveries that could lead to new applications in material science and electronics. In Tuesday’s announcement of the joint award to Mr. Haldane, along with David J. Thouless of University of Washington and J. Michael Kosterlitz of Brown University “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions and topological phases of matter,” the Royal Swedish Academy
stated, “This year’s laureates opened the door on an unknown world where matter can assume strange states.” Mr. Haldane, 65, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, was born in London, received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Cambridge University UK, and eventually joined the Princeton faculty in 1990 after working at Institut Laue-Langevin in France, the University of Southern California and AT&T Bell Laboratories. The Swedish Academy’s announcement explained that the three laureates
“used advanced mathematical methods to study unusual phases, or states, of matter, such as superconductors, superfluids or thin magnetic films. Thanks to their pioneering work, the hunt is now on for new and exotic phases of matter. Many people are hopeful of future applications in both materials science and electronics.” In a press conference Tuesday afternoon before a full lecture hall at Frick Laboratory’s Taylor Auditorium, Mr. Haldane expressed hope that his work with topological material could lead the way Continued on Page 8
Public Schools, Teachers’ Union Join Against PARCC
TAKE A BOOK, GIVE A BOOK: Local children have another cozy spot to share their favorite books thanks to a new Little Free Library, officially dedicated last Sunday in Marquand Park . Built on the massive stump of what was once a cucumber magnolia tree, the reading nook, being tested here by Aidan and Annelise Sutphin, joins others in town and across the country, as part of a national movement . The Princeton Public Library supplied the initial books to get the project going . Mayor Liz Lempert and other local dignitaries were on hand to celebrate the opening . (Photo by Emily Reeves)
So Much More To See in
Princeton Public Schools Superintendent, Board of Education President and the Teachers’ Union Presidents came together last Tuesday in their opposition to the New Jersey Department of Education’s (DOE) decision to triple the weight of the PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) tests in the evaluation of teachers. Two days later the State Assembly weighed in, and went a step further to approve by a 52-11-8 vote a bill that would prohibit the use of student standardized test results as any part of teacher or principal evaluations. PARCC test results, as of the DOE August 31 announcement, are slated to count for 30 percent of the teacher evaluation, but the Assembly bill will now go to the State Senate. Princeton Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane, Board President Andrea Spalla and PREA (Princeton Regional Education Association) Presidents Theresa Cross, John McCann and Renee Szporn noted widespread “concerns about instructional time diverted for test prep, the test’s potential negative impact on curricular priorities and the significant cost of preparing for the PARCC’s computer-based administration,” in claiming that “the NJDOE is out of step with the entire country, as well as the majority of the public school communities that it is legally bound to guide and serve.” Since the first administration of the controversial PARCC tests in 2015, the Princeton community has been skeptical about the merits of the test, with many parents choosing for their children, especially at Continued on Page 12

Christie Whitman, Bob Smith Discuss Environmental Challenges
D&R Greenway and the Green Hour Radio continue the discussion series, Framing the Future: Seeking Solutions to Environmental Challenges, with “Environmental Leadership in the 21st Century,” Monday, October 24 at 7 p.m. Former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman and State Senator Bob Smith (17th Legislative District) will discuss environmental policy goals and both the opportunities and obstacles to achieve them. The event follows up on the first talks in the series, “Exploring the Outcome of 21st Climate Change Conference (COP21)” and “The Future of Energy in Our Region.” Former Governor Whitman championed and signed legislation to create the Garden State Trust, the state’s first stable funding source for the preservation of open space, farmland, and historic sites. From 2001 to 2003 she served in the cabinet of President George W. Bush as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. She is now President of the Whitman Strategy Group, a consulting firm specializing in energy and environmental issues. Having served in the New Jersey State Legislature since 1986, first as a State Assemblyman and more recently as State Senator, Bob Smith has been named Environmental Legislator of the Year by several New Jersey environmental organizations. He sponsored and helped pass laws such as Site Remediation Reform, Barnegat Bay cleanup (including the most stringent fertilizer law in the United States), the Recycling Enhancement Act, the Electronic Waste Management Act, the 2009 $400 million Green Acres Initiative ballot referendum, and a host of legislation stimulating solar and alternative energy. Doors open 6:30 p.m., program begins 7 p.m., at D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place. Admission is free.

Health Department Sets Dates for Flu Shot Clinic
The Princeton Health Department and Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) will hold their annual flu immunization
clinic and health fair on Tuesday, October 18, at the Suzanne Paterson Building from 1-6 p.m. Make-up clinics are on November 7, 4-6 p.m. in the Community Room at 400 Witherspoon Street, and December 7, 4-6 p.m. in the main meeting room at 1 Monument Drive. There will be no out-of-pocket costs for the Flu/TDap vaccine administered to Princeton residents with health insurance coverage stipulated on the www. princetonnj.gov/health website. However, consent forms must be completed (www.princetonnj. gov/health/index.html), which enables the health department to bill the healthcare providers. The health department will also provide flu shots to anyone under insured or uninsured. The health department is urging all participants to make an appointment for the PSRC clinic by calling (609) 924-7108 (ask for Mauri). Completed consent forms brought to the clinic will expedite your visit. Complete the highlighted portion of the consent form if you are obtaining a flu shot only. Complete the entire form if you are also receiving the Tdap vaccine, which protects against three potentially life-threatening bacterial diseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough), and is recommended every 10 years.

“Civility, I guess that’s a hope and not an expectation.” —Anne Trevisan, Princeton
“I think that it will result pretty much the same. I don’t think that the debates are going to do anything with this election. Everything is such a mess. Arguably Hillary won the last debate and will probably win this one. It is an unpredictable thing.” —Christopher Van Allen, Doylestown, Pa.

EXONERATED: This father-and-son photo of Kerry Max Cook, who spent 22 years on Texas death row before his innocence was finally revealed, is among the images by Diane Bladecki in a show opening Friday at the Arts Council of Princeton. Mr. Cook, who went to prison at 17 and was freed at 50, ended up using Ms. Bladecki’s photograph on the cover of a book about his journey. (Photo by Diane Bladecki)
The Pain and Courage of the Wrongly Convicted Are the Focus of Arts Council Photography Show At a performance in New York of the play The Exonerated about wrongfully committed prisoners, Diane Bladecki noticed that the photographs lining the lobby made their subjects look exactly like what they were not: criminals.

“They were too intense — horrible,” recalls Ms. Bladecki, who works with the Princeton-based Centurion Ministries, which is dedicated to vindication of the wrongly convicted. Ms. Bladecki, then an aspiring photographer, was at the play
TOPICS Of the Town with Centurion’s director Kate Germond. “Kate said to me, ‘Think you can do better? Knock yourself out.’ So that was the beginning.” Photographing exonerated prisoners, often at the heartwrenching moment when their freedom is granted, has become Ms. Bladecki’s m is s ion. T h e P r i n ce ton resident, a multimedia artist with a journalistic style, works for Centurion. Some 160 of her photographs, of varying sizes and mounted on wood, are the subject of “I am Innocent,” an exhibit opening Friday and running through October 22 in the Taplin Gallery at the Arts Council of Princeton. “This isn’t pretty work,” she said this week. “I wanted it to look a little rugged. The easiest way to put all of the photos together was to mount them on wood. Some are big, three by four feet. Others are 10-by-10 inches. So it’s a real variety. It’s hard, because there are so many stories to tell. So many little pieces.” Ke r r y M a x C o o k w a s among the cast members of The Exonerated, which starred a mix of former inmates and a rotating cast of professional actors. “He was the reason I got started,” Ms. Bladecki said of Mr. Cook. “He was staying at [actor] Aidan Quinn’s house. His little son was holding a badminton racquet, and I took a picture of him through the racquet, with his father behind him. It was eerie — it looked like his father was behind bars.” Mr. Cook today does a lot of speaking about his ordeal. His story is only one of the many Ms. Bladecki has heard over the years. After photographing various events for about a decade, she worked her way up to attending actual exonerations — when wrongly convicted prisoners are freed follow-
ing years of efforts on their behalf. She began going to their homes and talking to their families. “A lot of times, we look at someone who is exonerated and that’s all we see, just that,” she said. “I like to dig deep and find out who they were before, who they were in prison and what they had to do to survive alongside people who did actual crimes. After 20 or 30 years in prison, they come out and they are lost. They don’t even know how to use a cell phone.” The level of forgiveness among these former inmates has amazed Ms. Bladecki. “It’s just uncanny,” she said.

Wrongly Convicted Continued from Preceding Page
“As one of them has said, ‘I can’t be angry. That’s like being in another prison. We can’t waste our time.’ “ Centurion was the first organization to defend people for crimes they didn’t commit. It can take from five to 15 years to free a wrongly convicted individual. “When it works, there is generally a court case where the judge decides the fate,” Ms. Bladecki said. “At that moment, the individual is told they will or they won’t be free. Recording when they are free, seeing them walk out of the courtroom, breathe the air, and maybe see the sky for the first time in years — it’s just amazing.” Stories of the wrongly convicted are heartbreaking. There was the man who went to prison at 17 and was freed after 38 years, with no one left in his family to greet him and usher him back into the outside world. “It was just his attorneys and him, walking out,” Ms. Bladecki recalled. “He wept. As grateful as he was to be free, he didn’t know what he was going to do. Kate and Jim [McCloskey, Centurion’s
founder] took turns letting him live with them till he got on his feet.” In some cases, a single photo at the exhibit tells a story. Others take up more space. Mark Schand, freed after 27 years, is the subject of a whole series of photos showing a range of emotions as he walks out of prison. “He was lucky. He had a big family,” Ms. Bladecki said. “His wife visited him every week. He had three grown sons and a grandchild. He had survived a stroke. There were 50 people waiting for him.” Photos in the show are meant to deliver an emotion, to make people experience the frustration of being wrongly accused, and convicted, of a crime. When visitors enter the exhibit, they will be given a number in exchange for their name — just like prison. A “Mug Shot Project” in which visitors can become part of the exhibit, a birdcage hung with names of prisoners Centurion is currently defending, and other features are part of the exhibit. “The thing that gets me is that they are all like children,” Ms. Bladecki said. “There is no growth that happens in prison.”
Centurion has freed 54 people since its founding. Ms. Bladecki wants to tell all their stories and is thinking of doing a book. She would also like the exhibit to travel, particularly to Texas, where a lot of the clients are from. In the meantime, she is looking forward to October 14, when several subjects of the exhibit and their families will visit Princeton to view the Arts Council show. —Anne Levin

BUSINESS AS USUAL?: F. Duncan Haldane, teaching his first class as a Nobel Laureate, was greeted with loud cheers and applause from his students at his Tuesday session on “Electromagnetism: Principles and Problem Solving.” Mr. Haldane had received a call at 4:30 that morning from the Royal Swedish Academy, notifying him that he had won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physics.

to development of extremely powerful quantum computers, “the holy grail.” He described his research as providing “a new way of looking at what quantum mechanics can do.” The Swedish Academy cited Mr. Haldane’s discovery in the 1980s of “how topological concepts can be used to understand the properties of chains of small magnets found in some materials” and the hope that “topological materials could be used in new generations of electronics and superconductors, or in future quantum computers.” In introducing the Nobel Prize winner at the press conference, Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber noted that Mr. Haldane is widely recognized for his discoveries in condensed matter physics, an example of the “truly groundbreaking work that goes on here,” and he welcomed Mr. Haldane as the “newest addition to this extraordinary department’s hall of fame,” which now includes eleven Nobel laureates in physics. Lyman Page, Physics Department chair, described Mr. Haldane’s “extraordinarily deep insights and mathematical elegance,” and added, ”He is also lighthearted and funny, with an
ironic sense of humor—an absolutely wonderful colleague.” Mr. Page continued, “We all look forward to seeing what this work leads to. We all are indebted and thankful for what you’ve done.” Phillip Anderson, Princeton physics professor emeritus, 1977 Nobel Laureate and Haldane’s graduate adviser, commented, “Duncan really deserved the prize because of the absolutely fundamental nature of his work. It underlies a lot of what is going on in the field of condensed matter physics recently. It is a very well deserved prize.” Mr. Anderson, who was cited by Mr. Haldane as “an inspirational teacher” and an important influence, also worked with co-winner David Thouless. “There has been a real explosion of exciting new results [in the area of topological materials ],” Mr. Anderson said, “but the fundamentals were laid by Thouless and Haldane.” The prize of 8 million Swedish krona, approximately $928,000, will go one half to Mr. Thouless, according to the Swedish Academy, and the other half to Mr. Haldane and Mr. Kosterlitz. In an additional tribute, physics professor B. Andrei Bernevig commented on Mr. Haldane’s powerful influence. “Duncan had a big effect on me in terms of his way of doing physics. He just does physics to enjoy it. There is nothing he enjoys more than to work 14 to 18 hours a day just doing physics. For me, it was a new way to think about doing physics—for nothing else than pure enjoyment.” Mr. B er nev ig went on to describe Mr. Haldane’s thought process. “The way he thinks about things is unlike any other person. He does not come up with things in consecutive order—it is in flashes of brilliance.” —Donald Gilpin
Data and Art Hackathon To Be Held in West Windsor
On October 23 from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., the Code for Princeton will present the Data and Art Hackathon at the West Windsor Arts Council. The day-long event will include the development of civically beneficial projects as well as free workshops on how to make circuits on paper and 3D printing demonstrations. Keynote speaker Steven Fragale, researching artist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Digital Media Lab, will speak at 5 p.m. on the intersection of technology and art. At the end of the day
a panel of community representatives will review the projects and offer feedback. This summer and fall, the West Windsor Arts Council’s programs have been organized to explore a variety of topics related to the growing, national and educational emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) including an exhibition, a play, and classes and camps. “When I heard about Code for Princeton and their Hackathons, I was immediately excited and intrigued by the idea of introducing art into the mix. The visualization of data is a key component for the communication of ideas and problem solving, and this is an area to which artists can contribute significantly,” said West Windsor Arts Council’s Executive Director, Aylin Green. “Code for Princeton essentially is about the community and the coming together of diverse skills, individuals and perspectives. At the art hackathon, where we #hackforart, we will recognize the importance of art in building strong and balanced communities as well as a balance between both left and right sides of the brain.” says Hema Malini Waghray, Director and UX Researcher for Code for Princeton. The day will include preselected projects, each with a coder and an artist team leader. These leaders will discuss their projects in advance in order to set some basic parameters in which to work. Then, during the event, preregistered and walk-in artists, coders, or enthusiasts of all ages are invited to join them to move the project forward. A few of the projects are ongoing from previous Code for Princeton Hackathons, however new topics have also been proposed. The projects include: “Water Toxicity” - Create visuals based on water toxicity levels in the VR 360 environment; “Arts in the Everyday” - Using data from “A Survey of Arts in Everyday Life (2002)” examine involvements of individuals in informal art activities like community theatre, church choir, or painting portraits in a home studio; “GIS Self Segregation” - Visualize the self segregation patterns in West Windsor neighborhoods; “Data-Mining from Online Forums” – Using a data crawl on breaking news or twitter news to understand how and by what means news is actually “created.” and more.

Princeton’s Traffic Lights and Pedestrian Crossing Lights are Out of Coordination
Liz Lempert Addresses Needs of Residents, Stands at Forefront of Urban Development
Room to Read’s Central NJ Chapter Thanks Participants in Benefit Concert
Lempert’s Guidance, Balance, Compassion, Helped Make Witherspoon-Jackson 20th Historic District
my feelings began to change. I am not a clinical psychologist, but I will tell you that Liz hears voices…not just some voices, but all voices. She is the consummate listener. As chair of the Princeton Housing Authority’s (PHA) Board of Commissioners I know and have seen firsthand our mayor’s willingness to jump into the fray to help solve problems. When children of PHA residents had an issue with transportation for afterschool programming at the Little Brook School, she was there. On numerous occasions during the yearlong discussions of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood becoming the 20th historic district in Princeton, I and others sought the sage advice of Liz and Council members to navigate through the process and bring the ordinance to a successful conclusion. Although the decision seemed like a “slam dunk” to many because it was long overdue and “the right thing to do,” nothing could be further from the truth. Had it not been for her guidance, balance, compassion, and stewardship along with strong and strategic community based activism in guiding the process we might still have only 19 historic districts in our town. In difficult, daunting and uncertain political times this seminal, momentous, and impactful decision represents no less than a “rebirth” for our town and because of Princeton’s unique place in American history, our nation as well. For this, she has earned the respect and gratitude of many. Our mayor is accessible. She shows up at community based events, communicates effectively, and maintains an open office at the Public Library. To promote diversity Mayor Lempert made Princeton one of only 80 municipalities in the country to celebrate “Welcoming Week,” an annual series of events where communities bring together immigrants and U.S.-born residents in the spirit of unity to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone, including new Americans. Under her capable leadership, Princeton is now more inclusionary, more diverse, more open, more fair-minded, more welcoming, more friendly, and yes, more American. Under a consolidated Princeton our police department led by a capable chief has assembled and can boast the most diverse group of law enforcement officers I believe,
Thomas, Nina Tillmann, Francesca Verge, and Heather Wertenbaker. The program continued with an exploration of Maya literature, music and poetry in Spanish, Maya and English by John Burkhalter III, Carlos Hernandez Peña and Berta Rivas Harvey. Their Words and Music from the Land of the Jaguar brought an international and historic depth to the afternoon’s program. The quartet, Nadam-Serenity in Sound, played music from the carnatic tradition of South India, and Toronto’s Neeraj Prem, a sitar virtuoso, played music from the northern Indian tradition. Our music came from East and West, and from many of the countries of North America. The concert helped fund local language publishing in Asia and Africa, scholarships for girls in ten countries, and the construction of schools and school libraries.

Supporting PHS Parent Debbie Bronfeld For Seat On Princeton Board of Education
To the Editor: I’m writing to support debbie Bronfeld for a seat on the Princeton Board of Education. debbie has been a Princeton Public Schools parent since her son Harrison, PHS ‘15, began elementary school; her son Max is a junior at Princeton High. She knows our schools in and out, volunteering for many school activities as her sons moved through the school system. She has an MBA and a professional background in business, working as a financial analyst, internal auditor, and other similar positions for major companies. debbie’s real passion is for helping people in need. She was the founding executive director of dress for Success Mercer County, helping low-income women return to work. She works now at Mercer Street Friends Food Bank, where she began as a volunteer and is now a program analyst involved with food stamps and Send Hunger Packing, a school program that sends food home with students experiencing food insecurity. debbie also spent many years volunteering for the Special Olympics. debbie is concerned with our schools’ current and future jump in enrollment. And she naturally has a particular focus on the opportunity gap that some of our students face. She and I were both involved with the difficult teachers’ contract negotiations two years ago. We felt then that the quality of our children’s education, the central issue of our schools, was in danger. The teachers’ contract will be up for renegotiation during the term of the Board of Education members we elect now. With her understanding of our schools, her business background, and her lifelong focus on public service, debbie is highly qualified for a seat on the Board of Education. I hope you’ll join me in supporting her. AMy GOLdSTEIN Snowden Lane

University Tax Exemption Case Could Go To Court This Week Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber is expected to be the first witness in a property tax case scheduled to go to court in Trenton this week. The Universit y is being sued by Princeton residents
who are challenging the tax exempt status of several of its properties. The issue is being watched closely by educational institutions and non-profits. The lawsuit, which dates back four years, says the
University should pay taxes on the buildings it rents out for private functions. The suit also maintains that the school shares profits with professors on some of the patents they receive and the research they conduct. Lawyers for the school have argued that the buildings serve its educational mission and should therefore be exempt.
The original four plaintiffs in the University case first challenged its taxexempt status after results of t h e 2010 P r i n ce ton property revaluation were made public. They brought two lawsuits, one in 2011 and the other in 2014. One challenged the tax-exempt status of some University buildings in the 2011 tax

year. The second was related to the 2014 tax year. Last April, the plaintiffs were joined in the lawsuits by 20 residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood. Several attempts by the University to have the lawsuits thrown out have been unsuccessful. Last November, New Jersey Tax Court Judge Vito Bianco rejected the school’s claim that the burden of proof should be on the residents who are challenging the tax exemption. L ast year, in anot her property tax case, Judge Bianco ruled against a Morristown hospital. As a result, several towns in New Jersey have been attempting to collect property taxes from hospitals in their communities. Both sides of the case are still in negotiations to settle the issue. If a settlement is not reached, the court case will begin Thursday at 9 a.m. in Trenton. —Anne Levin

T he recent news t hat Governor Christie, Senate President Steve Sweeney and Speaker Vincent Prieto have reached an agreement on funding for New Jersey’s Transportation Trust Fund means that work may finally resume on stalled road projects across the state. But completing one of those projects, the reconstruction of Valley Road, remains on hold while the 23-cent increase in the gasoline tax awaits approval. On September 26, Princeton Council voted to delay the final paving of the road because going ahead with the project might have jeopardized a grant from of approximately $282,000 the New Jersey Depar tment of Transportation. “If we proceed in light of the executive order, we could be entering into a violation of the order so we risk losing the grant,” Deanna Stockton, the town’s engineer, told Council. “So we recommend closing it down.” B efore Cou ncil voted, Mayor Liz Lempert warned that not going ahead with the project presented its own set of risks. “If we don’t do that and wait until there is money, which I assume would be in the spring when we’d be able to act on it, we risk damage to the sub-surface of the road,” she said, “which would be left exposed — especially if we have a really harsh winter.” Ms. Stockton said that the road would be able to sur-
vive such a scenario. “All of the grades are in good shape to capture drainage,” she said. Council took her advice and voted to close the project down. Its status has not changed; at least for now. “We’re talking through it,” Ms. Stockton said this week. “Because if the Legislature does in fact ap prove the gas tax, we would hope that it would go along with lifting the governor’s executive order. But we have not heard anything officially on that. If the order is lifted, we would like to try to move ahead. But if not, we will wait until next year.” Mr. Christie shut down $3.5 billion in New Jersey road, bridge and rail projects on June 30. S ome work w as d on e on t h e Valley Road project using funds that did not come from the Transpor tation Trust Fund. Using money from the fund, the road reconstr uction was sup posed to be completed in August. Also affected by the shutdown is work on the Carter Road bridge in Lawrence Township. Repairs and reconstruction of two historic bridges on Route 206 can’t start until the Carter Road project is finished, because it serves as the designated detour route. As a result, the bridges will not be repaired until next spring, Mayor Lempert was told by the state last August. Late last month, Mercer County announced plans
to sue the state and the Department of Transportation over the continued shutdown of road projects including the Carter Road bridge. At the September 26 Council meeting, Ms. L emper t suggested pre paring a measure supporting the County’s action to sue. Council meets again on Monday, October 10. —Anne Levin

Opposition to PARCC continued from page one
the high school level, to opt out of taking it. “Students and educators in Princeton have yet to see any real benefits from PARCC test administration,” the joint statement read. “Despite claims of proponents of the exam, the PARCC score data has not been detailed, relevant or timely enough to be a helpful tool for improving curriculum and instructional practices in our district.” T h e P r i n c e to n B o a r d , a l o n g w i t h m a n y ot h e r school boards throughout the state, has previously voiced
concerns about the PARCC test, and has unanimously passed two resolutions in the past two years “urging sensible, fair limitations on the state’s premature mandates to use student PARCC scores to evaluate teachers or deny students their high school diplomas.” The joint statement warned of “serious negative consequences “ from increasing the weight of students’ test scores for teacher evaluations, and claimed that those consequences “undercut the mission of the Princeton Public Schools and this community’s shared educational values and aspirations.”
West Windsor-Plainsboro S c h o o l s S u p e r i n te n d e n t David Aderhold has also criticized the State’s recent PARCC testing mandates, in a September 23 op-ed in NJSpotlight, calling for parents and educators to ”come together to rebuff the politicization of public education.” On August 3, the State BOE approved PARCC as the new graduation assessment, with students required to pass Algebra I and tenth grade English tests beginning with the class of 2021, this year’s eighth graders. “The unspoken message,” Mr. Aderhold wrote, “is that
the New Jersey Department of Education and the New Jersey State Board of Education believe they can change educational outcomes by implementing a system of standardi zed tes ts, data points,and accountability measures. They believe that if you create ‘valid ‘and ‘reliable’ assessments that all students will magically succeed. Through a blind allegiance to standardized assessments, the NJDOE and NJSBOE have failed to provide the support programs, and professional development that would work to ensure that all students succeed.” Un it i ng i n opp os it ion,
leaders of the Princeton teachers’ u nion and t he schools have been working with colleagues in Mercer County and around the state “to make our communities aware of the potential threat posed to our children’s education by this new decision” and to persuade lawmakers to help reverse it. “We will continue to pursue innovative and effective approaches to evaluation that will inspire our teachers to enhance their instruction and truly improve the learning for their students,” the joint statement concluded. —Donald Gilpin

As a boy, Dan-el Padilla Peralta came here legally with his family. Together they left Santo Domingo behind, but life in New York City was harder than they imagined. Their visas lapsed, and the father returned home. While Dan-el was only in grade school, the family joined the ranks of the city’s homeless. He, his mother, and brother lived in a downtown shelter where his only refuge was the meager library. With the help of a young volunteer, he was accepted on scholarship to Collegiate, the oldest private school in the country. From Collegiate, he went to Princeton, where he made the decision to come out as an undocumented student in a Wall Street Journal profile a few months before he gave the salutatorian’s traditional address in Latin at his commencement. Dan-el Padilla Peralta received his MPhil from the University of Oxford and his PhD in classics from Stanford University and will be joining the faculty of Princeton University’s Classics Department in fall of 2016. ———

Book On Freud Discussed Today
Susan Sugarman will be discussing her new book, What Freud Really Meant: A Chronological Reconstruction of His Theory of the Mind ( Cambridge at Labyrinth Books today, Wednesday, October 5, at 6 p.m. Through a reconstruction of 11 of Freud’s essential theoretical writings, Ms. Sugarman demonstrates that the traditionally received Freud is the diametric opposite of the one evident in the pages of his own works. According to RĂźdiger Bittner, Universität Bielefeld, “Here is the trajectory of Sigmund Freud’s thought from early to late, and at the same time a delineation of its systematic structure; the story goes smoothly, widening like a river - an illuminating, eminently followable guide to one of the boldest investigations ever of how the human mind works.â€?

Waiting for Salinger’s Last Novel: A Preview of Next Week’s Library Book Sale
B
y the time the Friends of the Princeton Public Library Book Sale begins a week from Friday, the second presidential debate will be history. Most post-debate book-sale browsers looking for something to focus their frazzled minds on will find what they’re looking for, if not their heart’s desire. The book of my dreams won’t be there because it hasn’t been published yet and for all I know may never be put between covers, even though J.D. Salinger devoted the last 50 years of his life to writing it. Pearl Diving Among the 2016 sale’s stellar offerings is Léonard Rosenthal’s The Kingdom of the Pearl with Persian-miniature-immaculate plates by Edmund Dulac that have to be seen to be believed. Its only defect is a gouge on one edge of the front cover where a bibliophile in a frenzy of desire appears to have taken a bite out of it. Except for that minor, perfectly hygienic blemish, the volume is in a condition comparable to that of copies going for $750 online. For this semi-retired browser, Dulac’s Pearl evokes the Golden Age of the Book Quest in Princeton when rare finds would turn up at garage and estate sales or on the shelves of Micawber Books or in the bank vault that housed Witherspoon Books and Art. It was around this time of year circa 1981 that I found an unflawed Pearl in the Dickensian clutter of a secondhand/antique store in East Millstone. As often happens, the treasure had arrived with a large assortment of bric-a-brac and ephemera purchased by the owner, who knew next to nothing about book values. If there had been an internet in the early 1980s with access to sites like abe.com and add.all, the he’d have had no need to hire me to research various price guides about the other volumes in the lot, a rehearsal for what I’d be doing a decade later for the Friends of the Library. the inimitable e.e Another of this years’s gems is a signed limited edition of e.e. cumming’s “persianly poemprinter predicated picturebook” CIOPW (for charcoal, ink, oil, pencil and watercolor), which features a cummingesque introduction that includes his take on the familiar storybook line (“for once-upon-atime read, neither life nor living, but originally infinitive cooling through participle into compulsion; therefore, once-upon-anow equals ‘art’”). Bound in brown-burlap boards, with a watercolor title page signed by the artist/author, the images display widely varied styles from self-portraits and line-drawings to a densely figured depiction of a prize fight. Thoughts of cummings bring back the moment during a San Francisco party in September 1962 when we heard that he’d died and a charismatic girl recited a poem she knew by heart, the one that begins “somewhere I have never traveled” and ends “nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.” Edward Albee (1928-2016) It goes without saying (I know, then why say it?) that Friends sales over the years have included books by Edward Albee, who Town Topics diedby at 4” 88 last month. This year’s stock will 5.125" Due to publication: 09/30/16 (for 10/05/16 issue)
also most likely have a few, if not the signed copies that occasionally turn up among the donations. Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opened on Broadway in October 1962, a month after cummings’s death. People tend to forget the seismic impact Virginia Woolf had on the culture of the sixties before the Beatles, Vietnam, drugs and assassinations shook things up. The 4-LP original cast recording seemed to be playing everywhere in 1963, the soundtrack of the time a battle of the sexes with George and Martha drinking and swearing, reciting poetry, quoting Bette Davis, and generally making magnificently nasty music together.

ings as a judge, or even a reader, of poetry, Seymour reminds Buddy “that on his first day in the public library (alone, aged six) Miss Overman, wanting or not as a judge of poetry, had opened a book to a plate of Leonardo’s catapult and placed it brightly before him.” There the matter ends: “You can’t argue with someone who believes, or just passionately suspects, that the poet’s function is not to write what he must write but, rather, to write what he would write if his life depended on his taking responsibility for writing what he must in a style designed to shut out as few of his old librarians as humanly possible.” Waiting for Salinger Miss Overman’s greatest challenge is the list of “reading material” six-year-old Seymour puts together for her in the epic letter from summer camp he sends his parents, as recorded in Salinger’s novella, Hapworth
ian, someone like Dudley Carlson. Parents whose children came of age in the Princeton Public Library during the eighties and nineties will know what I’m talking about. My son was fortunate enough to have two inspirational librarians; in addition to Dudley Carlson, who made him feel at home with books, there was Terri Nelson, who understood and encouraged his sixties lifestyle. My own favorite librarian lives in the imagination of J.D. Salinger. Known only as Miss Overman, she works at the publiclibrary branch in Manhattan regularly used by Seymour Glass and his Wise Child siblings, notably Buddy, Franny, and Zooey. In Seymour: An Introduction (1963), Salinger has Seymour thinking of Miss Overman whenever he finishes a poem like “John Keats/ John Keats/ John/ Please put your scarf on,” written when he was eight. Seymour felt he owed the librarian “a painstaking, sustained search for a form of poetry that was in accord with his own peculiar standards and yet not wholly incompatible, even at first sight, with Miss Overman’s tastes,” which favored Browning and Wordsworth. Alerted by his younger brother Buddy to Miss Overman’s shortcom-
16, 1924. Seymour’s list, which has been mocked as “improbable” by various benighted readers of a work that is still confined to the June 19, 1965 New Yorker, indeed seems to know no bounds. It has room for “any bigoted or unbigoted books on God”; two “heart-rending, handy, quite handy volumes” by Vivekananda; the complete works of Tolstoy; Don Quixote; Charles Dickens (“either in blessed entirety or in any touching shape or form”); George Eliot and William Makepeace Thackeray (“though not in entirety”); Jane Austen in entirety (except for Pride and Prejudice, a copy of which Seymour took with him to camp); Marcel Proust and Sherlock Holmes “in entirety”; “any book on the World War in its shameful explosive entirety,” any books by “men or women of genius, talent, of thrilling modest scholarship,” and any “marvelous, very good, merely interesting, or regrettably mediocre poems that are not already too familiar and haunting to us.” By no means is that the list “in entirety,” and it’s up to Miss Overman to get the lot to Camp Hapworth. For all the fun Salinger has composing the list and Seymour’s running commentary,

it’s an enterprise he takes seriously. It may be that there’s a vicarious librarian in the author of The Catcher in the Rye, a Miss Overman crying to get out. My abiding question is, once again, when are Salinger’s heirs going to release Seymour’s letter from the ad-choked pages (32-113) of a 51-year-old magazine to take its rightful place in book form among the Glass stories he devoted more than half his life to? So it goes: the book of my dreams is still in limbo in spite of reports that the new material would be published sometime between 2015 and 2020. Charles Rojer (1934-2016) I wish I’d been able to have at least one conversation over coffee with Charles Rojer, the Friends Book Sale volunteer to whose memory this year’s event is dedicated. The few words and smiles we exchanged were always related to the task at hand. As happens every time I read the local obituary pages, I find someone with an extraordinary history. Born in Brussels in 1934, Charles was six when the German army invaded Belgium, forcing the family to flee to France, only to be stopped by German troops who seized the train. Sent back to Brussels, they found conditions deteriorating rapidly, food scarce, and laws passed that restricted the father’s leather goods business and mandated the wearing of the yellow Star of David. With the threat of capture looming, Charles’s parents found him a hiding place with the help of the Belgian Resistance. Although his parents were captured and deported to Auschwitz, where they died, the Resistance helped hide Charles and his two sisters over the next four years in a variety of safe houses. After being liberated by the American army in December 1944, he was reunited with his sisters, and with the help of an uncle immigrated to the U.S. in 1948, where he attended high school in Philadelphia, graduated from Temple University, and earned a doctorate from Hahnemann Medical College. Having been on the medical staffs of two Philadelphia hospitals, he served on the Board of Health in Princeton and eventually became its chairman. He called his family, his children and grandchildren his “personal victory over Hitler.” It’s fitting that the sale dedicated to Charles Rojer features 14 volumes of The Bibliophile Library fine edition of Elie Wiesel’s works, including a signed copy of The Jews of Silence. The Jane Eyre I’m reading, by the way, is from the edition of works by the Brontë sisters illustrated by Edmund Dulac in a more realistic mode than the lavish style of The Kingdom of the Pearl. For the record, I found the Brontës at the Wise Owl, a dream bookshop in Bristol. Each copy bears the book plate of The Catholic Library, Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs, Cambridge. he Friends of the Library sale will begin with a preview Friday, October 14 and end with a half-price day and bag sale on Sunday, October 16.

Joseph Barrett Exhibiting At Silverman Gallery
Now until October 30, artist Joseph Barrett has his work on display at the Silverman Gallery in Bucks C ou nt y. H is ex h ibit ion, “Alluvial Years,” is a compilation of his most recent works alongside paintings done over the last 25 years. The exhibition title refers to the subjects he has painted along the Delaware Valley. Barrett, who spends time in his studio every afternoon, often sets aside paintings he feels need to be resolved. At times, the artist doesn’t work on them again for years, which is the case for several paintings in this exhibit. After getting his Masters of Fine Art in painting at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, Barrett taught art for 15 years in Camden. He’s since moved to Lahaska, where he continues to paint. “Alluvial Years,” will be open to the public Wednesday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 4920 York Road ( Route 202) in Holicong, Pa. For more information, call (215) 794-4300 or visit, www.silvermangallery.com.

Unruly Sounds Festival Shows Princeton May Be “Ripe for Sonic Transformation” Despite a chilly drizzle Sunday afternoon, the audience sat in rapt attention as the genre-defying group Bonjour played in Princeton’s Hinds Plaza. A pair of double bassists flanked Florent Ghys’s “low string” band as it wound its way through a selection of pieces corresponding to days of the week. Their instruments’ bowed tones were sweet and thick as honey, tempered by the clarity of an electric guitar and a cello, and propelled by the drive of their set’s intermittent drum parts. At times, the musicians broke into wordless song. This was the second annual edition of Unruly Sounds, a local music festival that is a joint effort of the Princeton Public Library, Princeton University’s Music Department, and the Princeton Record Exchange. Last year’s festival was a two-day affair, but this year the event was a single day, dense with a rich variety of performers and genres. This year’s lineup included Damsel, The Miz’ries, Excelsis Percussion, Anna P idgor na, L la m a / L a m a, Leila Adu, Owen Lake & the Tragic Loves, arx duo, Bonjour, Bitter Bloom, Annika Socolofsky, and Krush. The intention of the festival’s organizers is to host an event that will expose people to new and experimental music, and to shed light on some of the compositional talent affiliated with the University’s graduate program in music. “Entrancing Rhythmic Complexity” The festival’s name is apt. Early in the afternoon, The Miz’ries set included crunchy electronic percussion, otherworldly sounds from analog synthesizers buried in a tangled nest of colored wires, and vocals from Leila Adu, processed and made massive. “Your muse is a robot,” she sang, sounding fairly cybernetic herself. Later, arx duo played an intensely collaborative composition, sharing a vibraphone covered in all manner of gongs, bowls, and soup cans, which they tapped, struck, and coaxed into entrancing rhythmic complexity. Bitter Bloom’s foot-stomping acoustic numbers featured soaring harmonies over an

innovative take on Appalachian and Celtic-style folk music. Owen Lake promised “electro-country,” and, through some combination of synthesizers and slide guitar, delivered exactly that. For all the wide-ranging sounds and genres that appeared on Unruly Sounds’ three stages, the festival had a sense of cohesiveness from the overlap in personnel between ensembles. Nearly every group included a performer or composer also playing with one of the other groups during the day—an arrangement that organizer Mika Godbole said was more of an organic development than a design. Planned or not, this had the welcome effect of making Unr uly Sounds seem like a celebration of a musical community, beyond just a celebration of new music. Hinds Plaza Serendipity Janie Hermann, Public Programming Librarian for the Princeton Public Library, said the event’s location at Hinds Plaza was key in making it accessible and “providing serendipity.” And throughout the afternoon and evening, passersby did indeed come to investigate the commotion by the library, and often ended up staying to hear something new and unusual. Pr inceton residents Tom and Amy Onder were out for an afternoon walk with their 7-month old daughter Stella, but stayed to hear several acts. The event was a first for Stella, and after observing her reactions to Owen Lake & the Tragic Loves, Tom seemed to think it would not be the last: “I think she likes it,” he judged. Zena Kesselman, a senior at Princeton University, said she was glad for the opportunity to see “the intellectual musings happening on campus” out in the open, where they might more readily find an audience. Shaking Things Up Mika Godbole, the festi-
val’s principal organizer, is a member of Mobius Percussion, and a freelance musician and teacher. Her earliest musical experiences were as a timpanist in an orchestra, and she said that her own exposure to new and experimental music inspired her to start up Unruly Sounds. She hopes that some of the festival’s performances will prove to be as revelatory to audience members as encountering the music of German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen was for her, an CELEBRATING MUSICAL COMMUNITY: Hinds Plaza hosted the second annual edition of the experience she compared to Unruly Sounds Festival Sunday. Excelsis Percussion, seen here, was among the groups tasting “sushi or Indian food performing. (Photo by Emily Reeves) for the first time” after “dining on just mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.” Ms. Godbole knew Princeton had both the talent and the resources to pull together a festival like this, citing the annual Jazz Feast in Palmer Square, as well as the classical programming at the McCarter Theater and Princeton University’s R ichard s on Au d itor iu m. She simply saw an opportunity to do something slightly different: “Princeton needs a little bit more noise rock, a little more stuff that’s not classical, so I kind of want to shake things up a little bit.” Outreach to Schools The festival also had an outreach component. In t he week preceding t he event, some of the composers visited Community Park Elementary School to talk with and play for students. “A lot of the time, kids think that composition is done by dead people,” Ms. Godbole explained, wanting them to know that, in fact, “it’s a living, breathing art form.” Ms. Godbole said she was pleased w ith this year’s event, and hopes it will continue to grow in the years to come. “People can be pulled in a slightly more adventurous direction,” she said, “The town is ripe for a sonic transformation.” St. Paul Parish, 214 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 —Douglas Wallack The Spiritual Center is below the church, entrance from the parking lot

Directed by Peter Berg (Battleship), Deepwater Horizon revisits the infamous incident primarily from the perspective of the rig’s chief electronics technician, Mike Williams. The picture reunites Berg with Mark Wahlberg with whom he previously collaborated on Lone Survivor. Wahlberg plays Williams, a working-class man of unquestioned integrity. As the film unfolds, we find him bidding adieu to his family as he was leaving for a 21day tour on the oil platform. If Mike had heeded warning signs like his wife’s (Kate Hudson) premonitions and his daughter Sydney’s (Stella Allen) science project with a Coke can geyser, he might have decided to call in sick. The same could be said of his colleague Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez), a mechanic who couldn’t get her car started that same morning. Even the helicopter ferrying them to work experienced an ominous bird strike en route to the platform. And upon landing, they were greeted by a friend who had a macabre skull-and-crossbones insignia on his hard hat. Don Vidrine (John Malkovich) and Bob Kaluza (Brad Leland) are the BP bureaucrats who bullied their employees to increase production at all costs from the minute they arrived on the platform. These villains were willing to put profits before any safety concerns, so it’s not surprising when the platform’s unstable drill pipe failed disastrously. D ur ing t he py rotech nic calamity that ensued, Mike’s actions were heroic and later his testimony in court identified the culprits who were responsible. The movie is a harrowing tale of survival that ends with justice being served. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for intense action sequences, disturbing images. and brief profanity. HOW COULD THIS DISASTER HAVE HAPPENED?: Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg) heroically Running time: 107 minreacted to the disaster that ensued when the drilling rig’s well pipe exploded and released utes. Distributor: Lionsgate methane gas that immediately caught fire. He also played a key role in bringing the parties Films. who were responsible for the disaster to justice with his testimony in the ensuing trial. —Kam Williams
n April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, located 41 miles off the coast of Louisiana, exploded when methane gas, under high pressure, blew out of the drill pipe and caught fire. Eleven members of the crew perished in the ensuing inferno that engulfed the platform. The accident caused the worst oil spill in U.S. history, with over 200 million gallons of crude oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico by the time the well was capped 86 days later. Next, authorities turned their attention to the question of who was to blame for the disaster. There was no shortage of potential villains to sort through because the drilling unit had been built in South Korea — was owned by Transocean Limited, a Swiss company, operated under the flag of the Marshall Islands — was leased to British Petroleum (BP) but maintained by Halliburton, an American field service corporation — and serviced by Schlumberger, a Dutch company. Ultimately, the bulk of the blame would be attributed to BP, and the company was found guilty of gross negligence and ordered to pay billions of dollars in damages to thousands of aggrieved parties.

New Program in Music Theater at Princeton U
Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and the Department of Music will mark the launch of a new Program in Music Theater with a daylong symposium on Princeton’s music theater past, present and future on Saturday, October 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the James M. Stewart ’32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street. The event is free and open to the public, however advance reservations are encouraged at arts. princeton.edu/curtainup. Princeton alumni, faculty and students—singers, actors, dancers, scholars, and composers who are making their creative marks on the opera world and on and off Broadway—will come together to participate in a series of panels on the art form and its importance at Princeton and beyond. The symposium is organized by a committee of Princeton faculty, alumni, students, and staff, led by Princeton Professor of Theater Stacy Wolf, who directs the new Program in Music Theater. The symposium will kick off at 10 a.m. with a brief welcome by Lewis Center Chair Michael Cadden, Director of Choral Activities and Senior Lecturer in Music Gabriel Crouch, and Deputy Dean of the College Elizabeth Colagiuri, followed by a panel on the rich history of music theater at Princeton. At 11 a.m., a panel entitled “Why Music Theater” will address the experiences, inspirations and motivations of those who are pursuing a career in music theater writing or composing, as well as the larger
question of why it matters that we write music theater. At noon, the symposium will feature an interview with Jordan Roth ’97 by Wolf followed by questions from the audience. Roth, who graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Princeton University with a degree in philosophy and a certificate in theater, is one of the most influential figures in today’s theater world. The symposium will continue in the afternoon with a master class on “Vocal Styles in Music Theater” from 2 to 3 p.m. At 3 p.m., the symposium will feature a panel on collaboration and design in music theater. The final panel, which will begin at 4 p.m., will be a discussion about choreography, directing, and collaboration in music theater both on Princeton’s stages and beyond.

Sparked by McDonough’s Leadership, Skilled Play, PU Women’s Soccer Stifles Dartmouth in 2-0 Win
For Jesse McDonough, it was a must-win situation as the Princeton University women’s soccer team hosted Dartmouth last Saturday afternoon. With Princeton having started the defense of its Ivy League title with a 1-1 draw at Yale a week earlier, senior defender McDonough and her teammates brought a sense of urgency to Roberts Stadium for the clash with the Big Green. “Our mindset coming off of last weekend was a reality check, we knew we were better than that,” said McDonough, a native of nearby Monmouth Beach, N.J. and a two-time captain of the Tigers. “We knew we had to pick up the intensity; with a tie going into the Ivy League play, that is all you can really afford so it was do or die for us. This week we really just focused on going at it in training every single day.” Princeton displayed its focus, scoring two goals in the first 7:19 of the contest with freshman Abby Givens and senior star Tyler Lussi finding the back of the net and never looked back on the way to a 2-0 victory as it improved to 8-1-1 overall and 1-0-1 Ivy. “They were coming off of a loss so we knew that they were going to be intense because their season was on the line as well,” said McDonough. “It was a home game for us; we had our fans and our field. We took all of that energy and put it on the field.” McDonough drew the cheers of the fans when she lofted a free kick into the box that Lussi headed through the goalie. “I always look for Tyler, usually she goes in there and is unmanageable,” said a smiling McDonough, who now has two assists this season and has tallied two goals and 14 assists over her Princeton career. “I was looking for her, that blonde ponytail up in the air.” In facing Dartmouth, Princeton was looking to produce a stifling defensive effort.
“Coming off of Yale, we were battered a lot by the offense so I think we really worked on being strong defensively and not letting them get as many chances,” said McDonough. “We had a really strong player, Haley Chow, back which was awesome. She did very well, so it was great for us.” Focusing on being a twoway player, McDonough prides herself on having a strong impact at both ends of the field. “Being a wide back, if we have the space, our coaches like us to get up into the attack,” said McDonough. “It pressures the other team’s attack and it gets our momentum going as well when we get numbers up.” As a two-time captain, McDonough feels responsible for getting the Tigers going. “It has been awesome; I have been playing different roles each year,” said McDonough. “Last year, I was with Emmy Sura, who was an awesome, loud player. She got the energy going. This year, I have had to step up a little bit and be more of a voice so it has helped me grow in a lot of ways. Helping lead the team is what makes me happy.” It also makes McDonough happy to be playing college soccer so close to home. “I am an hour away, it is really nice, my family is always here,” said McDonough “My sister (sophomore midfielder Samantha) is on the team, which is even better. Being at Princeton, I have always wanted to go to a high academic school and to be able to play a sport as well is just a dream.” Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll was expecting a high quality performance from his team in the wake of the tie with Yale. “I would say that the team in general was very focused, very spirited, played with a lot of energy in training,” said Driscoll. “They enjoyed training, they had a lot of fun last
Nelson Glass & Aluminum Co.
week. It is a very energetic, intense team. I think they were just chomping at the bit to get back on the field and perform at a high level.” Driscoll credited McDonough with giving Princeton a lot of energy in the win over Dartmouth. “She is a leader, she was disappointed personally with her performance against Yale; she took things to heart and that is part of what makes her the kind of person she is,” said Driscoll. “She came back this week refocused. I thought she had an exceptional game. Jesse is very consistent, every game we know what to get from her.” Princeton has been getting good production from promising freshman Givens, who has scored three goals in her last five appearances and was named the Ivy Rookie of the Week for her heroics against Dartmouth. “Abby has gotten three goals. As we all know, freshman have ups and downs, it is a roller-coaster ride,” said Driscoll. “We have been rotating quite a lot of players at the wide midfield position, just
trying to see what fits best against different teams. To her credit, she did a very good job against Yale. She scored against them and scored again in the Dartmouth game, two games against Ivy League opponents and two goals.” In Driscoll’s view, the Princeton defense did a very good job against Dartmouth, holding the Big Green to six shots overall with just two in the second half. “I thought the best part of our defending was our attack,” said Driscoll. “We were very, very good on the attack. We held the ball well and when they got the ball, they were limited in their options. Defensively we were able to take care of it. Overall, we have been defending well all season.” Noting that there is more parity in Ivy women’s soccer this season, Driscoll is confident that his team will be in the thick of the title race. “We have a track record of being very good on the road and we have a track record of being very good at home this year,” said Driscoll, whose team resumes league action on October 8 when it hosts Brown (5-2-3 overall, 1-1 Ivy). “I think right now our focus is one game at a time and

GETTING IT DONE: Princeton University women’s soccer player Jesse McDonough, left, marks a foe in 2015 action. Last Saturday, senior defender and team captain McDonough contributed an assist to help Princeton defeat Dartmouth 2-0. The Tigers, who improved to 8-1-1 overall and 1-0-1 Ivy League with the win, will resume league action on October 8 when they host Brown (5-2-3 overall, 1-1 Ivy). (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) if we take care of all of our home games, then, guess what, we will be in good position.” In McDonough’s view, if Princeton maintains a business-like mentality, it will be in position to win a lot of games.
“I think we have seen us training with 110 percent intensity throughout the week,” said McDonough. “It plays out into the games so I think we are just going to stick with that mentality.” —Bill Alden

Displaying Precision on Both Sides of the Ball, PU Football Routs Columbia 48-13 in Ivy Opener There was no mystery to the Princeton Universit y football team’s approach as it played at Columbia last Saturday in the Ivy League opener for both squads. “In my pre-game speech, I said we are going to be aggressive, I want us to attack,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “I want the player responsibility but I want us to be in the attack mode and to be a physical, aggressive team. If I am saying that to them but I am not having that mindset, it probably sends the wrong message.” With the foes tied 6-6 early in the second quarter and Princeton facing a fourth down and one yard to go on its own 29, Surace sent a message as he opted to go for it rather than punt. “We talked about that in a staff meeting,” recalled Surace. “If it is fourth and really close, whether it is a quarterback sneak or a run play, if we feel we are winning the line of scrimmage, we are going to go.”
Princeton junior quarterback John Lovett justified his coach’s faith, gaining four yards for the the first down and the Tigers didn’t stop going for the next two quarters. Marching 67 more yards after the Lovett run, Princeton took a 13-6 lead on a 26 -yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Chad Kanoff to senior receiver Trevor Osborne. Stunningly, the Tigers scored touchdowns on their next five possessions to break the game open and roll to a 48-13 win before 3,638 at Robert Kraft Field in New York City. Surace praised his squad’s offensive execution as it improved to 2-1 overall and 1-0 Ivy, noting that the Tigers had looked sharp all week. “I thought we protected well for the most part, we threw it well, we caught it well, our routes were really crisp and we made really good decisions,” asserted Surace, whose team piled up 439 yards of total offense, scoring three touch-

downs on the ground and four through the air as it outscored the Lions 28-0 in the second quarter and 14-0 in the third. “It was how we practiced. We have had 63 Tuesdays to get ready for teams since I have been here. I thought this Tuesday was our best one since I have been here. When I came up to the office I couldn’t wait to watch the film with the energy on the field. The scout team was terrific, the guys competed; it looked like training camp with that type of competitive practice. When you lose a game like we lost (42-28 to Lehigh on September 24), your approach is going to go one of two ways and I was really happy with how we approached it.” Kanoff was the trigger man of the rout, completing 21of-25 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns. “On a couple of them, we didn’t protect as well as we could have and he was about to get waylaid but he hangs in the pocket and puts the TD pass to Scott Carpenter on a corner route,” said Surace, referring to nine-yard scoring strike from Kanoff to Carpenter early in the third quarter which gave Princeton a 41-6 lead. “That’s as good as could be, that is an NFL throw with a corner route, man coverage, and a free blitzer. We weren’t perfect catching it, there were a couple of drops. It wasn’t quite Quinn Epperly’s game against Cornell in 2013 (when he com-

pleted his first 29 passes, setting an NCAA record in a 53-20 win over the Big Red), but it was pretty close.” P r i nceton’s ot her QB, Lovett, ran for three touchdowns and threw for one, rushing for 50 yards, passing for 59 yards, and gaining 42 yards receiving. “He seems to be the Xfactor every week; he is a triple double with rushing yards, passing yards, and his receiving yards,” said Surace. “He just allows us to be so versatile in our offense and so much harder to defend. When you are an opponent and you are breaking it down, you really don’t know how we are going to use him and what we are going to do. Our staff does a great job putting guys in positions to make plays.” After yielding a total of 73 points and 1,037 yards in its first two games, the Princeton defense did a great job on Saturday, limiting Columbia to 11 first downs, 57 yard rushing, and 215 yards passing. The Tigers held the Lions scoreless for more than 47 straight minutes, st retch ing f rom m idway through the first quarter to 5:56 left in regulation. “I thought our pressure picked up, we were unbelievable, hitting the quarterback, forcing him under duress to make tough throws,” said Surace, noting that there were only two plays where the defense was caught out of position while the starters were on the field. “I thought we were tighter in our coverage. Defensively, two muffs is too many but for the other 45 snaps, we were on target and did a really good job.” It was also really good for Princeton to snap a fivegame road losing streak with a win in the Ivy opener. “When you win the conference games and you are on top, you get a conference ring,” noted Surace, whose team last prevailed on the road when it posted a 40-7 win at Lafayette on September 19, 2015.
KAN DO: Princeton University quarterback Chad Kanoff prepares to unload a pass in recent action. Last Saturday at Columbia, senior star and tri-captain Kanoff completed 21-of-25 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns to help Princeton rout the Lion 48-13 in the Ivy League opener for both teams. The Tigers, now 2-1 overall and 1-0 Ivy, play at Georgetown (3-1) on October 8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “There is an importance to how you start the season in the Ivy League. That was really significant and the fact that it was on the road makes it even a little better.” The Tigers face another significant road test this Saturday as they play at 3-1 Georgetown, which posted a 17-14 win over Columbia earlier in the season and played Harvard tough last Friday night before falling 31-17. “They create turnovers defensively and offensively, it is like a lot of these teams we play, they spread the field,” said Surace.
“They get the ball to a lot of guys, they have a physical running game. They will use the width of the field and they w ill take their shots down the field. Harvard did a good job getting pressure on the QB and that is a difference maker. They put him under some stress. At the end of the day, if we can get three-man pressure, four-man pressure and fiveman pressure to mix it up, it will make everybody’s life better because that is how you create some turnovers and adversity.” —Bill Alden

PU Soccer Alum Bradley Named Coach of Swansea City
Former Princeton University men’s soccer star and head coach Bob Bradley ’80 has been named coach of Swansea City, the English Premiere League (EPL) club said on Monday. He is the first American coach to manage a major European soccer club. Bradley comes to Swansea City from Le Havre in France’s second division and replaces Francesco Guidolin immediately. Swansea City currently sits in 17th place and has lost five of seven games, winning one and tying another. The Swans entered the year as a candidate for relegation. In July, an American group took over the club. Bradley began his coaching career at his alma mater at the age of 26. While at Princeton from 1984-1995, he led the Tigers to two Ivy League titles as the squad reached the NCA A final four in 1993. In 1996 he became an assistant coach under Bruce Arena with the D.C. United in Major League Soccer. Two years later, he was named the head coach of the Chicago Fire, winning the 1998 MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup in its expansion season. Bradley then moved on to MLS teams New York MetroStars (now New York Red Bulls ) and Chivas USA. In 2006, he succeeded Arena as national team head coach. The U.S. won the 2007 Gold Cup with a 2-1 win over Mexico. The U.S. took second in the 2009 Confederations Cup after a 2-0 victory over No. 1 ranked Spain to end the Spainards 35-game unbeaten streak. After qualifying for the 2010 World Cup, Bradley lead the U.S. to win its group in the
group stage, tying England and defeating both Slovenia and Algeria. It marked the first time the U.S. won its group since 1930. The U.S. later lost to Ghana 2-1 in extra time in the Round of 16. Bradley was relieved of his duties with the U.S. team in July, 2011. After coaching the U.S., Bradley managed the Egyptian national team from 2011-14. He brought Egypt w it h in a game of t hem reaching the World Cup in spite of tremendous turmoil and political unrest in the nation. In January 2014 he was named the manager of Stabaek (Norway) and then signed with Le Havre in November 2015. ———

PHS Girls’ Tennis Pulls into 2nd Place Tie at MCT; Highlighted by Winning Second Doubles Crown Coming into the final day of the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday, the Princeton High girls’ tennis team faced an uphill battle in contending for the title. PHS stood fourth in the team standings, trailing Hightstown, WW/P-S, and Hopewell Valley. While Hightstown ended up winning the crown, the Little Tigers moved up the ladder, ending up tied for second with perennial power WW/P-S. PHS head coach Christian Herzog was proud of how his players battled in the final day of competition at Mercer County Park. “Given how things looked
the first day and coming into the second day down two points, it showed something to pull up into second,” said Herzog. T he team’s surge was highlighted by the second double s te a m of s en ior Brinda Suppiah and sophomore Adriana Todorova, who ended up winning the title in their flight, defeating Manogna Konduri and Haijia Wang of WW/P-S, 6-2, 6-3 in the finals. “They just clicked, you could see it,” said Herzog of his second doubles pair. “You don’t even have to coach them up too much, just point out the things that they already know and they
are already aware of them. They are very calm. They are good friends, they have really good chemistry.” For Suppiah, getting the crown in her senior season was special. “It feels really good, it is the last time I will be playing here,” said Suppiah. Todorova, for her part, had a tough time processing the victory at first. “When we finished the match, Brinda said this is surreal, it is happening,” recalled Todorova. The triumph was surreal for Suppiah, considering that she played singles last year and had hoped to fill that role again this fall.
“At first I didn’t know I would like doubles but I realize having another person on the court makes it less lonely,” said Suppiah. “It feels really good to have another person there.” In Todorova’s view, the two have proven to be a good fit on the court as their styles complement each other. “Brinda is really good in the back on the baseline and I do better at net,” said Todorova. “It works well, there is the lefty/righty thing, there is always that advantage.” Suppiah feels that the key factor underlying the pair’s success is their chemistry. “I think we just get along as a pair really well, we both keep it positive,” said Suppiah. “We have been friends for a while, our personalities

are always positive. When I get down, she lifts me up.” Another PHS senior, Elise Gerdes, enjoyed a positive finale at the MCT, taking second at second singles, falling 6-1, 6-0 to Sahithi Muthyala of Hightstown in the championship match. “As far as Elise, obviously she was playing someone who is a very strong player,” said Herzog. “In fairness to Elise she is probably about 70 percent as far as health, she has a cold. I think she could have fared a little better if she was at full health. She was playing a really strong player. We looked at the draws and our goal was to be playing in the finals.” Freshman Spencer Watts fared very well in her MCT debut, taking second at third singles, losing 6-1, 6-1 to Anushu Rangu of Hightstown in the finals. “Spencer is a great kid, I love her aggressiveness on court,” said Herzog. “You see the big crowd of people checking out the match out, everyone is looking at every single call and every single ball, second guessing every player and their choice of shots. She doesn’t let that faze her. It seems like it
calms her at times; she enjoys it a little bit.” Another PHS freshman, first singles player Samantha Singer, wasn’t fazed after falling behind Angela Weng of W W/ P-S in the thirdplace match at first singles, rallying to a 5-7, 7-6, 6-4 win, to earn the final halfpoint that pulled the Little Tigers even with the Pirates for second place. “Sam winning her match to get third was key,” said Herzog. “We knew Sam was going to have the toughest draw, there are always a lot of hard players at first singles. She takes down the second set and in that third set, she was barely sweating. It is a testament to how much she does off the court, working out and all the rest.” In Todorova’s view, working hard at the MCT will pay dividends for PHS in the upcoming state tourney. “I think we all had really tough matches,” said Todorova. “Hightstown is very good this year, they came in very strong. A lot of their new players are really good but we did the best we could. It gets our confidence going for states.” —Bill Alden

Spencer Watts was thrilled to be playing in her first Mercer County Tournament for the Princeton High girls’ tennis team while teammate Elise Gerdes brought a sense of urgency into her final appearance at the event Freshman Watts and senior Gerdes ended up in the same spot at the MCT last week as Watts took second at third singles while Gerdes was the runner-up at second singles, helping PHS tie WW/P-S for second in the team standings behind champion Hightstown. Despite falling 6 -1 to Anushu Rangu of Hightstown in the finals, Watts was all
smiles as she reflected on the experience. “It was so much fun; all of the girls are so sweet,” said Watts. “I know most of the girls from outside USTA tournaments so it is really fun just to have everyone here. I think it is just a great environment.” In the semis, Watts made a great comeback, rallying to defeat Kimberly Wong of WW/P-S, 3-6, 6-0, 6-4 to earn a spot in the finals. “I did lose the first set and I just think I had the mindset to come back and I was going to be able to beat her in the end,” said Watts. “I ended up going to the net a
lot more and trusting my shot.” While Watts couldn’t produce a comeback against Rangu, she enjoyed the challenge. “I have played this girl before, she is a great player,” added Watts. “It was fun.” Playing at the high school l e vel h as h elp e d Wat t s sharpen her game. “I am improving 100 percent; it is awesome,” said Watts. “Being at the net more, that helps a lot. Playing at this level everyday is so much fun. It is a great learning experience for future matches and tournaments.” Gerdes, for her part, has enjoyed imparting her experience to her younger teammates. “My favorite part about being a leader is basically motivating ever yone and giving ever yone advice,” said Gerdes.
“I like feeling like a helping hand. I can guide people and make then feel better and more confident.” Displaying her confidence, Gerdes pulled away to a 6-4, 6-1 win over Marissa Liu of Hopewell Valley in the semifinals. “It was a tough match; we were both playing well,” said Gerdes. “She was attacking the ball and dominating play. I started feeling let down and then I turned myself around and won the second set a lot easier.” Although things were a lot harder in the final as Gerdes fell 6-1, 6-0 to Sahithi Muthyala of Hightstown, she felt good about her run to the finals. “I was very happy because I had some very difficult matches going into it,” said Gerdes, who was playing through a cold. “I am proud that I stayed mentally tough, persevered, and was able to accomplish what I did.” —Bill Alden

Sputtering in 4th Quarter After Strong Start, PHS Football Falls to Undefeated Lawrence Vince Doran and his teammates on the Princeton High football team were pumped up for the chance to knock off undefeated Lawrence High as the foes met last Saturday. “We were definitely excited; we knew that they were a good team,” said PHS junior quarterback Doran. “We thought we had oppor t unities and that we could come out with a win today.” Doran helped the host Little Tigers get off to an exciting start, hitting with junior star receiver Jakob Green with a 46-yard touchdown pass to put PHS up 7-0 in the first quarter. “I just saw him, he ran a great route and I threw it in there,” said Doran, recalling the scoring strike to green. “It was all I could do.”
PHS took a 7-6 lead into the fourth quarter but saw the gritty Cards score 10 unanswered points to pull out a 16-7 win as they improved to 4-0 and dropped the Little Tigers to 1-3. “I definitely like the way we were moving the ball,” said Doran, who battled through a nagging hip flexor injury to complete 19-of-32 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown on the day. “It was tough to not score again.” Moving from playing defense in 2015 to the starting quarterback job this fall has kept Doran busy. “I like it; filling the shoes of Dave Beamer is a tough thing to do,” said Doran. “I played strong safety last year but originally played QB. I am learning the offense, the progressions, making the right read and
THINKING IT OVER: Princeton High quarterback Vince Doran surveys the action during a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, junior quarterback Doran completed 19-of-32 passes for 174 yards and one touchdown but it wasn’t enough as PHS fell 16-7 to undefeated Lawrence High. The Little Tigers, now 1-3, play at Steinert (1-2) on October 8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)
the right throw, and decision-making.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher liked the way Doran came through with the TD pass to Green, who ended up with seven catches for 109 yards on the day. “We haven’t hit that all year,” said Gallagher. “We are looking at those seam passes, we have got guys running down the field and we got it.” Gallagher was disappointed to see his team misfire several times after getting down the field. “We had a great drive to open the second half and we fumble the ball away,” lamented Gallagher. “We put seven plays together and we can’t do that. We have got to right the ship, we had too many turnovers. We need to limit those mistakes; this was a game that got away from us. Lawrence did what they needed to do to get their win.” The PHS defense held the fort, keeping things together for three quarters before Lawrence broke through with 10 points in the fourth quarter. “They ran the ball and controlled the offense a little bit but I think our defense played stellar football,” said Gallagher. “We only gave up 16 points.” With the Little Tigers having lost two straight games, they will need to put together a stellar effort to come away with a win this Saturday when they play at Steinert (1-2). “This is a team that battles; it is a good group of kids,” said Gallagher. “We just have to figure a way to put it all together and get ourselves a win; winning cures all.” Doran, for his part, believes that PHS can come through if it just plays a little sharper. “I feel like each game we are getting better,” said Doran. “The only thing that is hurting us is those turnovers and that is something we have to work on as a team.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Scoring Outburst from Midfielder Lis, PHS Girls’ Soccer Reels Off 3 Straight Victories Even though the Princeton High girls’ soccer team star ted t he season w it h three straight losses, getting outscored 11-1 in the process, Devon Lis was not discouraged. “We played ver y hard competition and it was really important for us to not get down on ourselves,” said PHS junior midfielder Lis. “We were able to take something from those games. We saw the competition level that we wanted to be at.” Hosting Lawrence High last week, Lis displayed some high-level play, scoring two goals in the first seven minutes of the contest as PHS jumped out to a 2-0 lead. “On the first one, someone laid it off to me and I was able to place it away; I wanted to try and tuck it in,” said Lis. “The second one came off of a cross from the right outside; someone was able to lay it off to me again and I was able to place it in the corner.” The Little Tigers kept the pressure on for the rest of the first half, keeping Lawrence on its heels. “We were possessing the ball well; we had some good opportunities,” said Lis. “We were able to put them away and I think we wanted to continue that for the rest of the game.” While PHS didn’t cash in on any more opportunities, the goals by Lis provided the margin of victory in a 2-0 triumph for the Little Tigers. Lis acknowledged that PHS sputtered a bit after its fast start. “I think we came out, we wanted to do well again ; we wanted to put them away but we weren’t able to connect well,” said Lis. “We weren’t able to take that fire from the first 15 minutes and keep it going for the rest of the game. We still want to improve on that team mentality to get the team playing as a whole throughout the game.” With two years of varsity experience under her belt, Lis is looking to provide leadership as well as production this fall. “I am in the middle, I want to communicate with the younger players,” said Lis, who scored two goals in a 3-2 over Nottingham and then scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Hightstown last Saturday “I have been in that position and my sister (former PHS star Taylor ’16) was able to help me. I think Zoe (Tesone) is a great leader as well as Colette (Marciano) in the middle so I think us three in the middle are able to talk to other people and really step up the game.” PHS head coach Val Rodriguez likes the way Lis has stepped up her game. “Devon’s maturity on the ball has grown tremendously from freshman year until now, her touches are very, very good,” said Rodriguez of Lis, who has tallied a team-high seven goals. “She can win a ball and get her head up immediately and distribute. She has composure when she is finish-
ing. She has a great voice because she keeps it calm. She keeps it positive; it really helps to build the morale out there.” The positive start against Lawrence was a confidence builder for the Little Tigers. “We started playing possession,” said Rodriguez. “I think that is a huge piece of our game, just keeping it, building it. When we have numbers up in the box and when we attack with composure, it is all good.” Rodriguez acknowledged that the attack stalled a bit as the game went on. “Once we start to send the vertical balls and try to attack and create quick counter attacks, we tend to get countered against,” noted Rodriguez. “We need to build the play and attack with numbers.” The PHS defense, though, was able to thwart the Lawrence counters as senior defender Zoe Tesone and freshman goalie Shaylah Marciano came up big. “Defensively, Zoe had a great game, Shaylah did a great job holding it up in the
back at goalie,” said Rodriguez. “Thank goodness we have a strong back line, they are doing a good job staying organized for us. Lawrence was definitely pressing, I give them a lot of credit.” Bouncing back from the tough start, PHS is gaining momentum. “It is inconsistent right now, of course we are thrilled with the win,” said Rodriguez, whose team plays at Hamilton on October 5, hosts WW/P-N on October 7, and plays at Ewing on October 11. “We are starting to believe in ourselves, we are starting to understand that every player is meant to have the ball at her feet, that they are meant to get involved in the attack and they are meant to team defend. It is getting the confidence piece and believing in our system and ourselves.” Lis, for her part, believes that the Little Tigers can be dangerous dow n t he stretch. “The focus is to definitely get some wins and get some team energy going as we go into the tournaments,” said Lis. “We want to compete and we want to be on our best game.” —Bill Alden
ON TARGET: Princeton High girls’ soccer player Devon Lis controls the ball in recent action. Junior midfielder Lis has five goals in her last three games, sparking PHS to a 2-0 win over Lawrence on September 27, a 3-2 win over Nottingham two days later and 1-0 triumph over Hightstown last Saturday.

Coming off a 4 -1 v ictory over Stuart Country Day School to snap a fourgame losing streak, the Hun School field hockey team was determined to get off to a fast start when it hosted WW/P-N last Friday. Instead, Hun stumbled out of the gate against the Northern Knights, yielding two unanswered goals in the first 3:17 of the contest. Hun called a timeout as it tried to regroup before things got out of hand. “We were concerned,” said Hun senior forward Kate Davis. “C oach ( K at hy Q u irk ) called the timeout and she was trying to motivate us, saying we are better than we are playing. We had to get it together.” Starting to gain some possession and generate chances, Hun got on the board with just under 10 minutes left in the half as Julie Fassl scored off of a penalty corner with Sophia Albanese getting the assist. “It was carrying the ball down and using the players next to you or behind you,” said Davis, reflecting on Hun’s rally. “We realized that we had to trust the players behind us; they are always going to be there to get the ball and don’t think you can do it yourself. You have players in front of you and behind you that can help you.” Building on that tally, Hun knotted the game with 1:19 in the half as Julia Revock tallied on a feed by Fassl. “It gave us a real boost of confidence and we realized that we needed to step up and get one goal,” said Davis in assessing the impact of Revock’s goal. Just over 18 minutes into the second half, the Raiders did just that as Davis took mat ters into her hands, fighting through a logjam in the circle to poke in a goal and put Hun ahead 3-2 to
stay as it prevailed by that score. “We knew we could win, we started putting in the work after we got the second goal on the board,” said Davis. “We really knew that we had to keep going and we couldn’t back off for one second.” In getting the game winner, Davis didn’t back off as she battled through several Northern Knights to get the tally. “I think Julie crossed it; the goalie was coming for it and I saw that she dove,” recalled Davos. “I kind of pushed it a little bit and it rolled and I pushed it again.” Pushing up the field is Davis’ forte. “I can use my speed to carry it up the right side of the field, this is my stick side,” explained Davis, a star for the Hun girls’ lacrosse team who has committed to attend William Smith College and play for its women’s lax program. “My role is to hit it to the middle and get as many assists and goals as I can.” Hun head coach Quirk likes the way Davis gets into the middle of the action for the Raiders. “When Kate plays well, she turns it on,” said Quirk.” She does a nice job for us; she is scrappy.” Quirk acknowledged that Hun wasn’t doing a great job in the early stages of the contest against WW/PN and she let her team know that during the timeout. “I said I am very disappointed and I don’t know what you are doing, either go out there and play or we are going to be where we are every other game,” said Quirk. “I just said they had to step it up. The other team didn’t even have a warmup and we have been out here for an hour and you let in two goals. That is unacceptable.”
Seeing her team step it up over the rest of the game made Quirk proud. “That was big, we are always playing catchup,” added Quirk. “I thought today maybe we could start out on top, but we didn’t and that’s OK, they responded. They came back and did what I asked them to do; this is a big win for us.” Senior star Fassl proved to be a very big factor in the win. “Julie is a quiet leader, she doesn’t say much but I think she leads by example w ith her hard work and her dedication,” asserted Quirk. “She is going on to play field hockey and softball at Virginia Wesleyan. I think that says something about her as an athlete; you don’t see that too much any more. She has been around the cage and she knows that is her job.” After the shaky start, the defense did its job in holding off the Northern Knights. “I think they started approaching them a little better and they started communicating,” noted Quirk in assessing the defensive effort. “M.C. Shea is working hard in goal, she is a work in progress. Sophia Albanese is the center and Delia Lawver did a nice job in the center also. The kids today just pushed up and were in there.” Building on the triumph over W W/P-N with a 2-1 victory over WW/P-S a day later, the Raiders are now 3-4 and headed in the right direction. “I just think we are all starting to work together,” said Quirk, whose team hosts Lawrence on October 5, Blair Academy on October 8, and Academy of New Church ( Pa.) on October 11. “We did some back passes, some side passes, up passes, and cross passes. I think it is finally coming together for us. We just seem to take four or five games to get it to work.” Davis, for her part, believes that rallying for the w i n ove r t h e N or t h e r n Knights could be a turning point for Hun. “I think we realize even when we don’t get off to a good start, we know that we can beat a good team and have the good season that we want,” said Davis. “Our goal is to play like that all the time, so we don’t have to keep trying to come back because it is exhausting.” —Bill Alden

With Simon-Ponte Emerging as Go-To Scorer, PDS Girls’ Soccer Produces Sizzling 9-0 Start Damali Simon-Ponte was prepared to be an offensive catalyst this fall for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team. “I knew that more young players were coming so I wanted to be more of a team player and start passing the ball to get more players stats,” said junior forward Simon-Ponte. “I definitely worked on finishing over the summer.” Last Thursday against visiting Montgomery, SimonPonte displayed her skill set, scoring one goal and assisting on another as PDS cruised to a 3-0 win over the Cougars. Simon-Ponte produced an opening salvo, tallying just 90 seconds into the contest as she slammed a pass from junior star defender Maddie Coyne into the back of the net. “I feel like we were definitely pressing the defense in the first half, which is the way we play,” said SimonPonte. “Maddie Coyne just had a really good ball to me and I took the shot.” About 25 minutes later, Simon-Ponte turned playmaker, lofting a pass into the box that sophomore s t r i ker Bro oke S mu k ler bounced past the Montgomery goalie. “I just saw Brooke making the run and I pulled the defense with me,” recalled Simon-Ponte. “I played it to her and she was wide open.” On Saturday, Simon-Ponte was at it again, tallying a goal and an assist as PDS edged Lawrenceville 2-1. With the Panthers improving to 9-0, they have dealt well with the departure of last year’s leading scorer Hannah Bunce, who transferred to Hun this fall. “I feel like even though Hannah is gone, we are still capitalizing on our opportunities and winning a bunch of games,” said Simon-Ponte. “I don’t think it is a big factor that she is gone but she was definitely a good member of our team.” PDS head coach Pat Trombetta liked the way his team capitalized on its opportunities early against Montgomery. “The game star ted off great, we scored in the first minute and a half with a nice through ball from Maddie Coyne to Damali,” said
Trombetta. “It was a really good finish on Damali’s part.” Later in the half, PDS got a lift from its reserves as Smukler and junior Isabel Hogshire came off the bench to score goals. “Brooke, Ann Xu, and Isabel came off the bench and gave us some quality minutes and some energy,” said Trombetta. “After that lull, that is what we were looking for.” The Panthers have been getting some quality play from a number of performers. “We have got at least 10 different players who have score goals this year,” noted Trombetta. “It is great when you have that type of depth in the scoring column.” Simon- Ponte has been dominating the scoring column for the Panthers, piling up team highs in goals (8) and assists (13). “O f fe n s i v e l y, s h e h a s been tremendous,” asserted Trombetta. “She is involved in the scoring and assists, her speed and her footwork are excellent.” While Coyne and junior goalie Grace Barbara are the linchpins of the PDS defense, the Panthers boast
plenty of talent in that unit as well. “On defense we had six players in there today,” said Trombetta, who also used junior Rebecca Kuzmicz, senior Emily Simons, sophomore Charlotte Meyercord, and freshman Tulis Pari on the backline. “They all gave us strong minutes in there so we have some depth there too.” Despite his team’s undefeated record, Trombetta is looking for PDS to raise the level of its play. “I set the benchmark high for this team,” said Trombetta, who has guided the Panthers to two straight state Prep B titles and the 2013 Mercer County Tournament crown. “Overall, we are pleased with where we are at coming to the halfway point. This next three-game stretch with Lawrenceville, Hill, and Wardlaw-Hartridge are going to be good games for us.” S i m o n - Po n te , fo r h e r part, is looking forward to the tests ahead. “I feel like we take one game at a time and when we win a game, we look to the next one,” said Simon-Ponte. “We are tr ying to w in MCTs now because we lost last year and then we have the Prep Bs.” —Bill Alden

ONLINE www.towntopics.com PRUNING YOUNG TREES with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES
Formative pruning is essential in developing a tree with a strong structure and desirable form. Properly trained young trees will require less additional pruning as they mature. The goal in training young trees is to establish a strong trunk with sturdy, well-spaced branches. The strength of the branch structure depends on the relative sizes of the branches, the branch angles and the spacing of the limbs. Naturally, this will vary with the growth habit of the tree. Pin Oaks and Ashes, for example, will have a conical shape with a central leader. Crabapples and Maples are often wide-spreading without a central leader. Other trees, such as Lindens and ornamental Pears, are densely branched. Good pruning techniques remove structurally weak limbs while maintaining the natural form of the tree. Pruning of newly planted trees should be limited to “repair work” such as the removal of torn or broken limbs. However, shade trees often have low limbs that will probably need to be removed within a few years to facilitate mowing. Pruning young trees is best done by a professional; each cut has the potential to change the growth of the trees. Contact Woodwinds at 924-3500 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
