Burden of Proof In Tax Exemption Falls to University A New Jersey Tax Court judge last week rejected a claim made by Princeton University that the burden of proof in a case regarding its tax-exempt status should be with the four residents challenging the exemption. Judge Vito Bianco ruled that the burden of proof for granting a tax exemption rests on the organization seeking the exemption, and would only be the responsibility of the residents if they were taking issue with the assessments for properties owned by the University. Challenging the University’s tax exemptions is a different issue, meaning the same burden of proof would not apply. “Normally, plaintiffs have the burden of proof,” said attorney Bruce Afran, who is representing the four residents. “The judge is saying that in this instance the reverse applies. The party that owns the land has to prove they’re entitled to the exemption. That’s always been the law. The University tried to shift that burden.” The four residents have filed two lawsuits. The first challenges the tax-exempt status of University-owned properties in the 2011 tax year, and the second in the 2014 tax year. The suits contend that the University should pay property taxes on its buildings that are tax exempt, because those buildings have various commercial uses including ticketing, food retail establishments, and patents earned from research. The school argues that it should remain exempt because the money it earns goes toward its academic mission. The University makes a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) to the municipality, and does pay taxes on houses and stores it owns in Princeton. But the tax-exemption on the remainder of its properties translates into higher taxes for Princeton residents, Mr. Afran said. Judge Bianco’s decision last Thursday was the fifth in a series of procedural setbacks for the University in these cases. Earlier this year, Judge Bianco rejected the University’s request to have the case challenging the 2014 tax exemption dismissed. A statement from the University issued last week reads, “The University was seeking clarification regarding the burden of proof, recognizing that it is usually the Continued on Page 8

Grass Roots Campaign Puts Zwicker Ahead
On the night of the general election November 3, Democratic State Assembly candidate Andrew Zwicker made a speech in which he conceded to incumbent Republican Donna Simon in the 16th District race. But a week makes a difference. At press time Tuesday, Mr. Zwicker’s lead over Ms. Simon had risen to 78 votes after the provisional ballots in Mercer County were counted. While the election has yet to be certified and Ms. Simon has neither conceded nor challenged the results, Mr. Zwicker, a physicist at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, appears to be the winner in the race. The Republican party has until next Wednesday to file for a recount. Win or lose, Mr. Zwicker is elated with the response he received and the manner in which his supporters helped run his campaign. “When a margin of victory is this small, that cliche that every vote matters is so incredibly true,” he said. “We knocked on thousands and thousands of doors and made thousands of phone calls. We got the message out about evidencebased decision making, and it resonates with people.” Mr. Zwicker, who lives in South Brunswick, was ahead of Ms. Simon on election night by only 29 votes. Thinking they had lost to incumbent Republicans Jack
Ciattarelli and Ms. Simon, he and his running mate, Maureen Vella of Hillsborough, conceded. But Mr. Zwicker picked up additional votes in the four counties that make up the 16th District: Mercer, Somerset, Hunterdon, and part of Middlesex. Princeton used to be in the 15th District, which has been traditionally Democrat, while Hunterdon and Somerset are Republican strongholds. “People are asking me how this could possibly happen,” Mr. Zwicker said. “With all the big money and special interest
groups, people are frustrated and feeling their voices are not being heard. This election was a grass roots effort. We didn’t have special interest money. We built up a grass roots organization.” The fact that New Jersey set a record for the lowest voter turnout ever is not the fault of the voters, Mr. Zwicker said. “People are really upset with the way campaigns have been run. So I am beyond humbled by the fact that mine represented something bigger to many people. This Continued on Page 12
Diverse Experience and Priorities Characterize School Election Winners An educator, a businessman (and boy scout leader), and a lawyer with extensive experience in regulatory and compliance law and finance won election to threeyear-terms on the Princeton School Board last week. Optimism, deep experience, and commitment to excellence for the district and its students characterize the three elected leaders, but their particular areas of expertise and their priorities reveal both contrasts and similarities. Elected to office on November 3 were Elizabeth (Betsy) Kalber Baglio, former
public school teacher and educational consultant, who won 2428 votes; incumbent Patrick Sullivan, private investor, former corporate lawyer and investment banker, who gained 2306 votes; and Dafna Kendal, a lawyer, who received 2032 votes. Robert Dodge, a research scientist working in a bio-pharmaceutical company, fell short in his bid, with 1780 votes. Each candidate has two children enrolled in the district. Ms. Baglio, 40, currently an active parent volunteer at Community Park as a member of the PTO, the Global Studies Continued on Page 12

© TOWN TALK A forum for the expression of opinions about local and national issues.
Question of the Week:
“What are your thoughts about this fall’s warm weather and its relation to global warming?”
“The weather this fall has been amazing, where it hasn’t been too hot or too cold, but just right. The scenery has been amazing the way it captures all the colors that fall has to offer. It’s almost too good to pass up going outside and enjoying it.” —Alex Riccardi, Hamilton
“I’ve totally enjoyed the warm weather we’ve experienced. I suffer from degenerative bone disease and the cold weather beats me up. It’s always been enjoyable when you don’t have to get wet, cold, or too hot. We also know that it’s the effect of global warming, which wreaks havoc on our eco system. We’d love to see a planet left for the future generation.” —Chester Rogers, Trenton
“The warm weather has been nice because it’s been easier to spend time outside and take photographs. However, it’s been strange because it feels out of place; sure, it’s been beautiful but I’d rather be bundled up in November — not wearing shorts. Global warming is a huge issue that we’re both worried about. It needs to be addressed more frequently and the world should be more actively trying to prevent it. Let it snow.” —(from left) Courtney Agnello, Allentown; Jess Chell, Hamilton

As a photographer and lover of nature, I’ve been given the perfect opportunity to take countless pictures of the beautiful fall foliage that on normal, colder occasions, I tend to avoid. Global warming is quite a concern for me, and I do believe as humans, it’s our responsibility and duty to come together and work towards a brighter future for our beloved planet.” —Fatima Rahman, Hamilton

Brian Hughes to Present Art Mercer Partnership Award
On November 20, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes will present Arc Mercer’s 2015 Community Partner Award to Mercer Count y Special Ser vices School District (MCSSSD). Arc Mercer is a long-time provider of services and supports to the special needs community. The agency’s mission is commit ted to helping individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities achieve their goals. Mr. Hughes, a supporter of the special needs community, is dedicated to com-
munity outreach and integration for individuals with developmental disabilities. One of his accomplishments is establishing employment for people w it h special needs by contracting with Arc Mercer’s Janitorial Services (a vocational training program providing employment through contracts with 75 percent of the crew being people with disabilities). The Mercer County Special Services School District will be honored with the 2015 Arc Mercer Community Partnership Award at the annual Fall Gala. MCSSSD provides students with developmental disabilities access to educational and supportive services to prepare them for adult life. In partnering with the MCSSSD, the Arc collaborated with them to provide after school services for students at the campus facilities. This allowed Arc Mercer to locate adult and vocational training programs on campus, a relationship that will foster a long term collaboration to aid students with special needs to integrate into the community after graduation. Dr. Kimberly Schneider, MCSSSD superintendent, will be on hand to receive the Community Partnership Award.
“We are so pleased to have such a strong sup porter of people with special needs, County Executive Brian Hughes, present our Community Partner Award,” said Steve Cook, executive director of the Arc Mercer. “The MCSSSD, represented by such a great leader, Dr. Schneider, has changed the way students will experience their transition into the community in the most positive way.” For questions and information about par ticipating in the fall gala, contact Kris Clark at (609) 4060181, ext. 191, kclark@arc mercer.org or visit www.arc mercer.org. ———
Annual Womanspace Award Goes to Tamron Hall
The 22nd annual Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award (BBS Award) from Womanspace is going to Tamron Hall, cohost of the third hour of NBC News TODAY and Anchor of MSNBC’S NewsNation, for her efforts to shine a light on domestic violence. Each year Womanspace honors a person of dis tinction who exemplifies the qualities of the event’s namesake, Barbara Boggs Sigmund. On May 19, Ms. Hall will be honored at the Westin Hotel in Princeton for advocating passionately, both on and off air, for greater awareness of domestic violence. As part of TODAY’s “Shine a Light” series, a campaign to support worthy causes, Ms. Hall has raised more than $41,000 to help end domestic abuse. She is an award-winning journalist who was inspired by her personal tragedy to help others. Barbara Boggs Sigmund was the mayor of Princeton and the first woman freeholder in Mercer County. She was the driving force in founding Womanspace in 1977. Her leadership and her crusade against domestic violence have made a life-saving difference to the thousands of survivors served by Womanspace over the years. The Barbara Boggs Sigmund Award represents that can-do spirit. Ms. Hall addresses the issue of domestic violence with compassion, courage, and a commitment to helping other women and girls recognize abusive relationships. She also reminds us that domestic violence casts a wide net, impacting not only the intended victims, but also their sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, children, friends, and entire communities. Ms. Hall is firm that, “love doesn’t have to hurt,” and she is working on ending the prevalence of victim blaming which is overshadowing the real issue at hand, which is putting an end to the violence.

Where are the Steve Jobs, the Bill Gates and the Mark Zuckerbergs of the next generation? You might want to check out the giant hackathon at Princeton University’s Friend Center this weekend. More than 600 students from over 80 universities will descend on the Princeton campus this Friday through Sunday to experiment with cutting edge technology and participate in HackPrinceton, a collaborative and competitive software and hardware creation marathon. “Student hackers are the CTOs, founders, and innovators of tomorrow,” stated Mike DeCarlo, co-founder of Major League Hacking, the official student hackathon league, which supports this event and more than 150 others in North America and Europe every year. “These students are already making amazing projects now. Imagine what they will be doing in a few years.” Sponsored by the Princeton University Entrepreneurship Club, the Electrical Engineering Department, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, the Computer Science Department, the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Depar tment, the Princeton Keller Center, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, and Major League Hacking, the Princeton hackathon will feature 36 hours of guest speakers and many workshops for students of all levels of expertise on such subjects as web and mobile development, machine learning, backend design, cloud content management, and more. Major League Hacking’s lead sponsors, Dell and Intel, are supporting this event by providing up-to-date tech instruments to build on, like XPS laptops, Inspiron 2-in1s, and Alienware gaming consoles, monitors, and tablets. “We are thrilled to provide an ongoing platform for developers to explore the limits of their imagination, laying

Princeton-to-Trenton Bike Ride Benefits Family Achievement
A 21-mile bicycle ride from Princeton to Trenton and back to benefit the Center for Child and Family Achievement (CCFA) will take place on November 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cyclists will travel along the Delaware & Raritan Canal Trail to raise awareness and funds in support of CCFA and its signature program “Read to Achieve.” Participants will begin at Turning Basin Park in Princeton and continue along the canal trail to the Center for Child and Family Achievement. When riders arrive at CCFA, they will have the opportunity to meet families from the center while breaking for refreshments. After the brief stop for refreshments, riders will leave the center which is located at 115 Bellevue Avenue in Trenton, and travel back to Princeton along the canal trail. The Center for Child and Family Achievement has set a $10,000 goal for this year’s Ride to Achieve. Wanda Webster Stansbury, executive director of CCFA, invites individuals to make a donation because “our work is compelling and effective.” Riders are encouraged to raise support by seeking their own sponsors for the event. Interested cyclists can promote and track their personal sponsorships using the following link: www.crowdrise. com/ridetoachieve. Stansbury explained, “It has been well documented that education is the only sustainable pathway out of poverty. At the Center for Child and Family Achievement, we address the persistent achievement gap that exists for poor families by addressing the chronic conditions that impede learning.” This year, CCFA has provided more than 4498 free books to support its signature initiative “Read to Achieve.” More information about CCFA and Ride to Achieve can be found at ccfatrenton.org.

Bicycle Master Plan Meeting Nov. 12 Critical for a More Bikeable Princeton
To the Editor: The municipality has begun a Bicycle Master Plan Study, which is being funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Community input is critical to create a successful plan for a more bikeable Princeton. Three public meetings will be held throughout the plan development process. The first of these outreach meetings will be this Thursday, November 12, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Community Room at 400 Witherspoon Street. I encourage all residents to participate! The goal of the study is to develop a bicycle network plan that connects prime destinations within Princeton and that links to adjacent communities and regional trails. The plan will designate a specific bicycle infrastructure for each segment of the network. The intention is to make Princeton’s streets safer and more attractive for bicyclists of all ages and abilities. At the Thursday meeting, staff from Princeton’s Engineering Department and Parsons Brinckerhoff, the study consultant, will provide an overview of the study process, gather public comments, and answer questions in an informal one-on-one basis. A Spanish language translator will be available at this meeting. In addition, an online map is available to allow members of the community to provide input and comments at any time.

concerns, Eleanor was appointed to the Jewish Family and Children’s Service’s Advisory Board on Senior Activities. In the mid-1990s Eleanor created and led the Princeton Coalition for Senior Housing in support of market rate senior housing in Princeton. She worked to meld the AARP, the Community Without Walls, the League of Women Voters, Princeton Community Housing, the Joint Commission on Aging, and the Senior Resource Center into a strong and effective coalition and led the effort to gather over 1,100 signatures on a petition. Our fond memories of Eleanor’s one of a kind personality, effective leadership and steadfast advocacy help ease the sadness of our loss and inspire us to continue our mission and help the community to offer the variety of housing opportunities that are essential to maintaining the vibrancy and socioeconomic diversity that defines our town. RICH GITTLEMAN, President EDWARD TRUSCELLI, Executive Director, Princeton Community Housing
To the Editor: When Eleanor Angoff passed away on Tuesday, October 27, Princeton lost a most sincere, effective, and fervent advocate for the housing needs of our community. On behalf of Princeton Community Housing (PCH), we express our condolences to Eleanor’s family and friends; we are writing to let others know how much Eleanor meant to our organization and to Princeton. Whether it was the need for affordable housing for families or for market-rate senior housing, Eleanor worked tirelessly and diligently for over 20 years to make sure that our governing bodies understood the necessity of ensuring that Princeton was a town in which everyone — seniors, families, people who worked here in the schools or at the hospital, folks at every income level — could have a home. She was a prodigious writer of thoughtful letters to the local papers, an eloquent and persuasive speaker at numerous public hearings, and a role model and mentor for many on how to effectively advocate and lead. For 23 years, Eleanor represented The Jewish Center on the Board of Trustees of Princeton Community Housing. She was a significant contributor to the work and accomplishments of our organization, whose mission is to provide, manage, and advocate for affordable housing opportunities in town. During her years on the PCH Board, Eleanor also chaired the Governance Committee and served as secretary. Because of her expertise in and understanding of housing

To the Editor: Last year United States taxpayers spent nearly $11 billion cleaning up litter across the U.S. That is ten times more than the cost of trash disposal. While we may not agree on how to reduce waste, I do think everyone agrees on this: litter is unappealing, unattractive, and expensive to clean up. Litter ends up on our lawns, in our gutters, alleyways and is often carried through storm drains into our local waterways. The presence of litter in our community is not just an environmental issue, it impacts quality of life, property values, and housing prices. One of the best ways to address litter is to provide positive examples of how to properly dispose of waste and items that may be recycled. The disposal and recycling choices provided set an example which others chose to follow. Princeton University sets an excellent example on its Also Buying: Antiques, Collectibles, pristine and litter free campus. Every single landfill bin is paired with a recycle bin, both bins are distinctly colored Jewelry, Postcards, Ephemera, Pottery, here bringing families and friends together to celebrate and clearly labeled.

In 2016 I would like to see funds we have been allocating toward green programs and some money from our tonnage grants be used to model Princeton University’s example. This successful model will decrease the overflow of landfill waste in the current bins, increase recycle collection and set the right example of proper disposal, all of which would greatly reduce litter downtown. While I advocate for action by the Town on the issue of litter, I do feel that responsibility for litter downtown belongs to all of us. We can each influence the actions of others around us at home and in our community at large. Perhaps the next time we see littler downtown, we can each do something. The Princeton Community Collective has set up an Instagram Hashtag #DirtyDowntownPrinceton to engage and encourage residents to pick up/rescue litter, dispose of it properly and then share their story with an image. By setting the right example we can all collectively contribute to a cleaner more beautiful downtown! BAINy SURI Founder of The Princeton Community Collective, Chestnut Street

Initiative Steering Committee, Dual Language Initiative Study Group, and the District Strategic Planning Steering Committee, declared her top priority to be “the need for increased collaboration and effective communication.” “Princeton is a remarkable place, and our school district is terrific,” she said. “However, I believe that we will be able to improve upon the good work that is already being done by encouraging more open communication among all constituents in the interest of the students.” Wit h exp er ie n ce as a teacher in Massachusetts public schools, professional development director for a consortium of school districts and educational consultant, Ms. Baglio sees her background in education as helpful in working to foster innovation, engagement and positive interaction in the District. “I hope to support innovation on the part of our educators and allow teachers and administrators additional oppor tunities to learn from one another,” Ms. Baglio said. “I look forward to seeking out new ways for parents and other community members to engage with our educators.” Mr. Sullivan, 52, emphasized the importance, in his upcoming second term, of “focusing on the Strategic Plan, and using the thoughts and creativity of our community to make our district truly great.” Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 43 in Princeton, School Board
Vice President and Chair of the Finance and Student Achievement Committees, with 25 years experience in law and finance, Mr. Sullivan hopes to see ongoing improvements in the school system — “fixing the bad parts and yet keeping the good parts.” As exciting manifestations of the schools’ progress, he cited the Dual Language Immersion program at Community Park, the collaborative IDEAS wing at John Witherspoon, the free Internet access program for families who previously did not have access to school websites, and the “incredible work” being done in new science courses. Highlighting a key element in the District’s Strategic Plan that involves “making sure that every child is known and treated in a way that is appropriate with their needs,” Mr. Sullivan stated, “just wait: things are going to get really great here, and we’re going to encourage the creativity of everyone who works to help our kids.” Ms. Kendal, in looking ahead to the next three years, stated that she prioritizes careful, long-term financial planning to address the challenges of increasing enrollment, as well as communication and inclusion of all voices in the school community. “Throughout the campaign,” she said, “I heard loud and clear from our communit y that the Board must be more transparent in its activities and be more open to community dialogue. We are fortunate to live in a community comprised of well-educated and involved citizens. Involving the public in our decision-
making process can only make us better.” M s. Ke n d a l, w h o h a s worked as a regulatory and compliance lawyer, questioned the validity of recent PA RCC test results and applauded two recent bills that limit the impact of high stakes testing by prohibiting the NJ Department of Education from withholding state aid to districts like Princeton with high refusal rates and restricting standardized testing in grades K-2. She also noted that the NJ DOE is re-drafting the New Jersey Standards to replace the Common Core. “Regardless of what the new standards are called or what the test will be,” she stated, “it is important that we keep in mind that education is about learning, and learning can only be optimized when we listen to the voice of educators, parents, and the community.” Ms. Kendal added that she will lend her legal expertise and her listening skills to help “ensure that we focus on learning rather than testing.” Two additional specific goals on Ms. Kendal’s radar are to make Princeton schools sustainable, reducing energy consumption in the process, and to amend the Board agenda so that public comment takes place at the beginning rather than the end of the meeting. Ms. Kendal and Ms. Baglio will join Mr. Sullivan and other returning members on the School Board in January, when Rebecca Cox and Martha Land step down at the expiration of their terms. —Donald Gilpin
New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act: A Powerful Tool for New Jersey Consumers, Homeowners and Tenants
We, who are lucky enough to call New Jersey home, live in a State that protects its consumers, homeowners and tenants. In the early days of consumer purchases, a buyer in the marketplace was governed by the principle of “buyer beware”, caveat emptor, under the assumption that buyers and sellers had equal responsibility and ability to judge the quality of goods. Proving intent to deceive and a buyer’s reliance on the promises of a merchant or contractor or landlord were difficult and expensive to prove; a typical damage award would be too small to justify the expense of bringing a claim. Modeled on federal legislation enabling the Federal Trade Commission to take action, New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, enacted in 1960, was one of the first consumer protection statutes passed by a State. New Jersey’s law became a model for subsequent laws in other States. The original law gave authority to the Attorney General to “combat the increasingly widespread practice of defrauding the consumer.” Remarkably, in 1971, the law was amended to create a private right of action for consumers to enforce its provisions. This important change allowed consumers to collect triple damages, their reasonable attorney’s fees, and reasonable costs of suits. The Consumer Fraud Act has been interpreted to permit homeowners to sue contractors and collect triple damages and their attor-
ney’s fees and court costs, where the contractor is found to make a material misrepresentation which results in economic loss to the homeowner. The statute also applies to landlords who promise their tenants that they will address a mold issue or other structural defect in a rented property and then fail to do so. Recently, I used the Consumer Fraud Act in Mercer County Superior Court to collect triple damages, my attorney’s fees and my court costs on behalf of a client who became ill and was forced to leave her apartment, because of a latent mold condition that the landlord had failed to correct. After I filed a Complaint, the landlord failed to file an answer. I obtained a default judgment, and working with the County sheriff, my client was fully compensated for her losses. I gave the sheriff the addresses of this and other properties owned by the landlord. On the sheriff’s order, the landlord’s current tenants turned over their rent checks so that my client could collect on the judgment. And, the landlord eventually corrected the mold condition that caused my client to become ill. I tell my clients that the Consumer Fraud Act “levels the playing field” for parties who have been wronged or knowingly misled by bad actors in the marketplace. If you want more information about your rights as a consumer, homeowner or tenant, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.

is what democracy is supposed to be about. People are hugging me. They feel good. They’re saying, ‘I feel like the work I did made a difference.’ And it did — every bit of it.” Close to 79 percent of Princeton voters cast ballots for Mr. Zwicker and Ms. Vella. “So his supporters turned out at a high percentage,” said Peter Wolanin, chairman of the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee. “But we were hoping for some more of them.” Still, Mr. Wolanin said, the support was stronger than
what was seen in recent elections for Representative Rush Holt and President Barack Obama. Mr. Ciattarelli earned the most votes in the race for the two Assembly seats, with a total of 16,526 votes. Mr. Zwicker ran for a seat in Congress last year, but lost. His win in the Assembly election would present Democrats with their largest majorit y there since 1979, giving them 52 of the 80 seats. Mr. Zwicker would become the first Democrat to hold a legislative seat in the district since it was created in 1974. “I started thanking people
before election day. I didn’t want to wait until we had the results,” Mr. Zwicker said. “I want them to know how happy I am, whether or not I win. I’m really proud.” —Anne Levin

THE HIGHEST ACHIEVEMENT: Princeton’s newest Eagle Scouts were honored on October 23 at Nassau Presbyterian Church, which has sponsored Troop 43 since the early 1900’s. Shown here from left are Tag Quijano, Hamza Mustafa, Uttam Rao, and Scout Master Patrick Sullivan. Eagle Scout is the highest achievement attainable in the Boy Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America. Only three percent of scouts who join continue on to the accomplishment of Eagle. Tag, who attends Princeton Day School, designed and built a Bicycle Powered Water Pump System which allows students to pump water from the rain barrel at the school’s outdoor classroom into the garden.

Ever y thing you always wanted to know about animals — and probably a lot of interesting information you didn’t even know you wanted to know — is coming over the air in Pets and Their People on 920AM The Voice. Broadcast every Friday at 5 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., the show, sponsored by Dogs and Cats Rule pet stores, just celebrated its 100th episode, discussing everything animal-related from puppy mills to therapy dogs to a mountain lion that climbed a telephone pole, a zoo visitor who decided to pet a polar bear, and a dog who suffered predictable consequences when he chose to confront a porcupine (last three incidents did not actually take place in the studio). Of all the many visitors to the show, Bocker the
Labradoodle (combination Labrador and poodle), a celebrity therapy dog, boasted the most impressive resume. Featured in many different TV commercials and movies, he’s listed as the author of a book and a coloring book, and he’s been on the cover of the Tommy Hilfiger Magazine, and appeared in Target Magazine and Animal Planets Dogs 101. Frequently on the job, Bocker has visited hospitals and assisted living facilities and made several trips to Sandy Hook, Connecticut to comfort children dealing with the school shooting there. As a Tail Wagging Tutor, he has helped many s t udent s le ar n to re ad. Bocker recently overcame lymphoma and has become a “spokesdog” for combatting canine cancer. Other recent highlights of Pets & Their People include

Harley, a puppy mill survivor and the 2015 American Hero Dog Award Winner who has given his name to a non-profit organization seeking to abolish puppy mills; Southeast Pet Rescue Railroad; the Squeaky Dog Question; W. Jean Dodds, renowned holistic veterinarian; the Swedish puzzle lady Nona Ottosson, who has developed an array of dog games and and puzzles to “keep your dog’s brain busy;” Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, who spoke about her dog-friendly town with its accommodating businesses; a representative of Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, the animal division of the Red Cross; a one-woman guinea pig rescue operation; and the weekly “squeaky dog question.” For Halloween, the subject was New Hope ghost tours for dogs. “Lead dog” of this enterprise, based at the 920AM The Voice studio on Alexander Road in Princeton since November 2013, is George Parente, who shares the microphone with co-host/ soundboard exper t Dave McKaye. When not on the air gathering and dispensing animal wisdom, Mr. Parente presides at Cats and Dogs Rule, which has outlets at Windsor Green shopping center on Route One, in Pennington on Denow Road, and also in Newtown and Maple Glen, Pennsylvania. “If it has to do with animals, no subject is impossible,” Mr. Parente stated, describing his ongoing search for fresh material. Upcoming shows will include a special on military dogs this week in honor of Veteran’s Day, then, on November 20 and 21, two representatives from Housepaws Mobile Veterinarian Services. Pets & Their People recently obtained four social media partners, including Facebook, to help increase their following through online podcasts. According to Nielsen radio show tracking, each episode currently has about 600 followers, a total of 1800 every week. “It’s important to educate people about pets,” stated
Dylan DiMeglio, producer of the Pets & Their People show. “When people are uneducated, pets end up in shelters. There’s so much to learn. Animals can do a lot more than you think.” Mr. DiMeglio explained that the Featured Pet segment of the show, in which a local rescue facility presents a pet, has so far succeeded in finding homes for several different animals. —Donald Gilpin

Prison Writings Subject Of Labyrinth Discussion
Writing on the Wall: Selected Prison Writings of Mumia Abu- Jamal ( Cit y Lights $17.95) will be the subject of a Labyrinth Books discussion on Thursday, November 12 at 6 p.m. featuring Johanna Fernández and Dr. Cornel West. During the event, a live call and conversation with Mumia AbuJamal from prison will be attempted. M o v e m e n t o r g a n i z e r, scholar, and editor of Writing on the Wall, Ms. Fernández will talk with Mr. West about the importance of the book in the context of African American literature, the radical prophetic tradition, police censorship, and oppression. In his forward, Cornel West writes, “Revolutionary love, revolutionary memory, and revolutionary analysis are at work in every page written by Mumia Abu-Jamal …. His writings are a wake-up call. He is a voice from our prophetic tradition, speaking to us here, now, lovingly, urgently. Black man, old-school jazz man, freedom fighter, revolutionary — his presence, his voice, his words are the writing on the wall.” According to Mark Lewis Taylor of the Princeton Theological Seminary, “Greatness meets us in this book, and not just in Mumia’s personal courage and character. It’s in the writing. This is art with political power, challenging institutional injustice in the U.S. while catalyzing our understanding, memory, and solidarities for liberation and love.” Writing on the Wall is a selection of more than 100 previously unpublished essays that deliver Mumia AbuJamal’s essential perspectives on community, politics, power, and the possibilities of social change in the United States. From Rosa Parks to Edward Snowden, from the Trail of Tears to Ferguson, Missouri, Abu-Jamal addresses a sweeping range of contemporary and historical issues.
Labyrinth Conversations Held On Nov. 16, Nov. 17
Christy Wampole and Russ Leo will be talking about Ms. Wampole’s new book, The Other Serious: Essays for the New American Generation (Harper $25.99) at Labyrinth Books on Monday, November 16 at 6 p.m. On the following day, Tuesday, November 17, also at 6 p.m., Stephen Chambers and Adrian Lopez-Denis will have a conversation about Mr. Chambers’s book No God But Gain: The Untold Story of Cuban Slavery, the Monroe Doctrine, and the Making of the U.S. (Verso $26.95). The Other Serious According to a review of The Other Serious at Esquire.com, “Few essay collections are as experimental, personal, or full of pragmatic advice on how to navigate contemporary culture.” A starred review in Library Journal says, “Wampole is a sharp and original observer. Her essays crackle with metaphor and precision…. This is essential for anyone who cares about the future of America.” A contributor to The New York Times, Christy Wampole is an assistant professor of French at Princeton University, where her research focuses primarily on 20th and 21st century French and Italian literature and thought. Her forthcoming book project investigates rootedness as a pervasive literar y, political, and philosophical theme in 20th-century French and German culture. Russ Leo is assistant professor of English at Princeton whose research interests include Performance Studies, Early Modern Literature, Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Literary Theory, and Poetics and Aesthetics.
No God but Gain Accord i ng to P ubl is h ers Weekly, in No God but Gain, Stephen Chambers “helpfully places the familiar story of American slavery in a wider geographic context, illuminating how slavery underpinned all aspects of early American social, political, and economic development.” Based on years of research into pr ivate correspondence; shipping manifests; bills of laden; port, diplomatic, and court records; and periodical literature, No God but Gain shows how decisive illegal slavery was to the making of the United States. Stephen Chambers is the author of several novels, including Jane and the Raven King. He is the senior writer/ editor at Analysis Group and has a PhD in history from Brown University. Adrian Lopez-Denis is a lecturer in history and the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University. ———

Stewart ’32 Theater, 185 Nassau Street. Part of the 2015-16 Fund for Irish Studies series at Princeton University, the event is free and open to the public. Ms. Connolly will explore how journeys along the Holyhead Road from London to Dublin and across the Irish Sea, which have been represented by novelists, playwrights, and poets from Jonathan Swift to James Joyce, create a cultural exchange between Ireland
and Britain. This is part of her larger research into the ways in which the Irish Sea scales and shapes diverse relationships between infrastructural links and cultural identities. Ms. Connolly’s research has focused on the cultural history of 18th- and 19thcentury Ireland, as well as Scottish and Welsh romanticism. Her books include A Cultural History of the Irish Novel, 1790-1829 (2012); The Cambridge Companion to Modern Irish Culture, edited with Joe Cleary (2005); and Theorizing Ireland (Palgrave, 2002).

Zink On Mercer Magic At Roebling Museum
Aw ard - w i n n i ng aut hor and historian Clifford W. Zink will be at the Roebling Museum, Sunday, November 15, from 3 to 5 p.m., for a book launch and author talk about his new book, Mercer Magic: Roeblings, Kusers, The Mercer Automobile Company And America’s First Sports Car. Mr. Zink’s is the first complete history of the Mercer automobile, made a century ago by the bridge-building Roebling family, and the Mercer Raceabout, “America’s first sports car,” now a million-dollar antique.
There will be a book signing at Hopewell Motors, Saturday, November 21, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and an author talk and book signing at Ellarslie Museum, Trenton, Sunday, December 13, at 2 p.m. The book is published by the Roebling Museum, which is located at 100 2nd Avenue in Roebling. At the height of Trenton’s industrial era, the prominent Roeblings and Kusers founded the Mercer Automobile Company in 1909 to manufacture “a car in a class by itself.” In 1910, Mercer introduced its twoseater Raceabout in its signature color canary yellow. Washington A. Roebling II, grandson of John A. Roebling of Brooklyn Bridge fame, won second place in his Mercer Raceabout in the International Light Car Race in Savannah that year, just two years before he was lost in the Titanic disaster on his way home from a European driving tour. Amateur and professional racers, including the notable “speed kings” Hughie Hughes and Ralph De Palma, won Mercer “racing glory” in numerous races across the country over the next several years, and a Mercer driven by Trenton’s own Eddie Pullen was the first American car to win the coveted American Grand Prize Race in 1914.

BOOK REVIEW
Channel Changing On Patti Smith’s “M Train,” Where the Lost Are Found
N
ear the end of her new memoir M Train (Knopf $25), Patti Smith returns from a trip to find the West Village café she considers a second home closed, for good. When she taps on the window, the owner lets her in and offers to make her a last cup of coffee. She sits there all morning in the closed café, the “picture of woebegone” shown on the cover with her camera and her coffee, head propped on one hand while she keeps the other hand palm down on the table, as if to hold it, claim it, keep it until she’s ready to give it up. The cover photo was taken by a bystander with a Polaroid camera like the one Smith uses to illustrate her travels with pictures of stations along the way, her aim being “to possess within a single image the straw hat of Robert Graves, typewriter of Hesse, spectacles of Beckett, sickbed of Keats.” After sitting at her corner table “a long time thinking of nothing,” she picks up her pen and begins to write. When she says “good-bye to her corner,” the owner gives her the table and chair. It’s a Patti Smith moment. Atmosphere In M Train, which has been on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list for several weeks now, Patti Smith withdraws into her own “atmosphere,” and wherever she goes, the atmosphere, like Mary’s little lamb, is sure to follow. The effect on chosen scenes, situations, places, objects, and dreams resembles Keats’s notion of the poetical character, which “has no self … is every thing and nothing … enjoys light and shade” and “lives in gusto, be it foul or fair, high or low, rich or poor, mean or elevated.” Smith shares the “chameleon poet’s” predilection for the unexpected, for odd, unlikely collisions and confessions, with a tendency to lose things she cares about, as she does her coat, her notebook, her copy of Murakami’s Wind-Up Bird, all of which she brings back in words: “What I have lost and cannot find I remember.” Finding Casa Azul Arriving feeling “disoriented” at Newark Airport, she has to “snake through hundreds of people going who knows where” to find the right ticket counter, only to be told to use the automated check-in kiosk. After rummaging through her bag for her reading glasses, she’s forced to answer the machine’s questions, scan her passport, and press the (wrong) button, freezing the screen, so that the ticket agent who insisted she use the kiosk has to come over in person and “fork around with a friendly-skies pen” to fix it, producing the boarding pass, which by then is in “a crinkled, dead-lettuce kind of state.” Later, while the plane sits for over an hour on the runway, Smith asks herself, why did she get so “steamed up?” Why couldn’t she “just get into the swing of things” in “the twenty-first century”? Not to worry. She knows exactly where
she’s going. Her struggle with the chaotic arrival creates an embattled momentum that carries the “Wheel of Fortune” chapter to Casa Azul, the former home of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. There, thanks to a piece of negative serendipity in the form of extreme gastric distress and “a crippling migraine,” she’s invited to rest in Diego’s bed prior to a performance in front of two hundred guests in the garden, which she concludes by singing a song that came to her while she was resting. The chapter ends with a glass of very young tequila and a title: “I closed my eyes and saw a green train with an M in a circle, a faded green like the back of a praying mantis.” The Polaroid images of Frida Kahlo’s crutches and dress included at the end of the chapter are followed by an image of the platform at the West Four t h Street subway station. If you close your eyes you can almost see the M train. Passengers Yo u n e v e r know who you’ll r u n into on Patti Smith’s train. It might be chess avatar Bobby F i s h e r, w h o comes with a combative attitude and ends by sharing duets, hitting the falsetto cry-yiyi-’s on “Big G i r l s D o n’t Cry” so shrilly that his body guard takes notice. As for the “Wheel of Fortune” chapter, which covers everything from the Golden Fleece, Maria Callas as Pasolini’s Medea, the best coffee in the world in Vera Cruz, to an ink-stained copy of Artaud’s Anthology, Alfred Hitchcock’s “special effects,” and Bach’s Coffee Cantata, the source of the title is not the “card of destiny” Smith draws from her personal tarot deck the night before the flight to Mexico City, but a dream in which she seems to be seeing the neatly manicured hands of gameshow host Pat Sajak, and you think, a-ha, that wheel, the one spun by Vanna White whose presence inspires “a parade of shiny sheath dresses.” Such is the way of things when the poetical character that “lives in gusto” enjoys the “the light and shade” of television imagery, as a spin of the dream wheel takes her from the “damn kiosk” at Newark Airport to 40 winks and the birth of a poem in Diego’s bed.
Her Inner Jiminy Cricket One of many reasons to watch Steven Sebring’s film Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2009) is to see her smile. It comes and goes, but when it comes it’s big as life, especially when she’s showing us the dress that was her favorite when she was a little girl. The author of M Train seduces smiles from the rider/reader all along the way, as on Valentine’s Day when quoting Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico (“The world is everything that is the case”), she imagines printing it “in the center of a paper doily” and depositing it “into the pocket of a passing stranger,” so “maybe Wittgenstein could be my valentine. We could live in a little red house in cantankerous silence on the side of a mountain in Norway.” What makes riding the M Train so rewarding is the way solemn, eloquent meditations on Genet a n d K a h l o, William Burroughs and Sylvia Plath are offset by Pat t i S m it h moments like an imaginary dialogue with N i k o l a Te sla, “the patron saint of alternating currents” or an encounter with a woman toting “an oversized red l i z a r d b a g” who dares to occupy the Pat t i S m it h table in her home café, ordering things not on the menu while making numerous cell phone calls to FedEx. Smith deals with the Red Lizard woman by thinking, “If this were an episode of Luther, she would be found faceup in the snow with the objects from her purse arranged about her: a bodily corona like Our Lady of Guadalupe.” After her “inner Jiminy Cricket” scolds her for harboring “such dark thoughts for the sake of a corner table,” she seems to repent (“May the world’s small things fill her with delight” and “may she purchase a lottery ticket and possess the winning number”), only to end by imagining the table thief trapped by “a storeroom’s worth” of red lizard bags, “without food, water, or cell phone.” Watching the Detectives Smith’s reference to Luther, the superviolent, noirish London detective drama aired on BBC America, reflects a preoccupation with television sleuths in M

Train comparable to her addiction to strong black coffee. One such detective, The Killing’s Sarah Linden, becomes a presence in the book, entering the narrative with her partner Stephen Holder in an early chapter (“Changing Channels”) when Smith decides to stay up late watching TV with an obstinate channel changer that “needed to be tapped into awareness” and talked to before it gives her the “crime shows” she needs (“Yesterday’s poets are today’s detectives …. They entertain and sustain me …. I walk with them, adopt their ways, suffer their failures”). Flash forward to a Memorial Day weekend spent in the city with detectives Linden and Holder, “ready to be comrade to their mute misery, swilling cold coffee in a battered car during a bleak stakeout.” After describing with novelistic intensity The Killing’s crowning episode in a chapter titled “How Linden Kills the Thing She Loves,” Smith laments, “Linden has lost everything and now I am losing her. A television network has snuffed The Killing …. But I am not ready to let her go and I do not want to move on.” The chapter ends with a sentence that could serve as a coda for Smith’s book of quests, tributes, and dreams: “There is only one directive: that the lost are found; that the thick leaves encasing the dead are parted and they are lifted into the arms of light.” The On-Demand Portal The passion of Smith’s involvement should speak to compulsive viewers of the cable series renaissance and its manifold diversions, whether in the form of crime shows like True Detective, Broadchurch, or Foyle’s War, or twisted wonders like Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones. For months I’ve been pondering a column about characters like Ruth Wilson’s Alison Lockhart in The Affair, Eva Green’s Vanessa Ives in Penny Dreadful, or Carrie Coon’s Nora Durst in The Leftovers, and the way they figure in the narrative of our television lives much as Mireille Enos’s Sarah Linden figures in Patti Smith’s. After lamenting the loss of Linden, Smith asks: “What do we do with those that can be accessed and dismissed by a channel changer, that we love no less than a 19th-century poet or an admired stranger or a character from the pen of Emily Brontë? What do we do when one of them commingles with our own sense of self, only to be transferred into finite space within an on-demand portal?” hat Patti Smith did, along with many other fans of The Killing, was make her wishes known until Netflix agreed to give Sarah Linden closure by backing a binge-worthy final season, in which the author of M Train performs a cameo as a doctor. It’s another Patti Smith moment. —Stuart Mitchner

A new exhibition is opening at the Princeton Day School (PDS) Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery on November 24 and will run through December 17. The exhibit titled Barnes Hall 2012-2014 features the photography and video work of PDS alumna Eleanor Oakes ‘03. There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, November 14 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the gallery. There will also be an open house with the artist on Friday, November 27 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the gallery. Both events are free and open to the public. PDS alumna Eleanor Oakes is an artist and photog raphy profes sor currently living in Detroit. She received a BA in Visual Arts and Art History from Princeton Universit y in 2007 and an MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University in 2014. Her work has received awards, such as a Murphy and Cadogan Contemporary Art Award from the San
Francisco Foundation (2013) among others, and has been featured in publications and exhibitions such as 25 Under 25 : Up -And- Coming American Photographers and a recent solo exhibition at Tyler Wood Gallery in San Francisco. Her work can be viewed online at www.eleanoroakes.com In this exhibit, Ms. Oakes features a video installation made with dust in a work titled Barnes Hall 2012-2014. In an interview conducted with the artist, PDS student Michelle Leung ’18 writes that this piece “can also be viewed as a self-portrait for Oakes. It originated from the dust she found in her new studio as a graduate student in Stanford…. As she summarized about her Barnes Hall exhibit in her interview with Luca Curci during her Hidden Rooms exhibition in Venice, “The piece embodies how we exist within our own private space, the perpetual accumulation of dust as a measurement of time, and the tiny particles that make up our totality, while underlining our own mortality within that system. Barnes Hall makes visible the hidden nature of our being and the remains of its physical memory.’” Barnes Hall 2012-2014 is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday when the school is in session.

MUSIC REVIEW
Princeton Symphony Orchestra Presents Superstar Pianist Joyce Yang
P
chapel music presents
r inceton Sy mphony Orchestra continued its journey through “significant voices of our time” with a concert of appealing yet complex music Sunday afternoon in Richardson Auditorium. For this concert, in a season dedicated to women’s creativity, PSO Music Director Rossen Milanov chose to explore the topic through guest solo pianist Joyce Yang, an international superstar who mesmerized Sunday afternoon’s audience with demonically virtuosic playing. Concerts featuring guest stars often ‘warm up’ the audience with a familiar work before the star attraction. PSO put a great deal of faith in its audience on Sunday afternoon by beginning the concert with a full-length symphony by Princeton composer Edward T. Cone. Cone’s 1953 Symphony showed the musical influence on Cone of the early 20th-century Second Viennese School in its use of small melodic fragments passed around among the players of the orchestra. In the opening Sostenuto random pitches seemed to come from throughout the stage, as conductor Mr. Milanov maintained steady control over the building intensity. The texture continually changed as different instruments came to the forefront during the course of the work. Cone seemed to have an affinity for lower instruments, including such unique combinations as tuba and contrabassoon and a contrasting flute against contrabassoon. A decisive piano part well executed by Elise Auerbach added drive to the swing of the second movement, even from the piano’s position so far to the side of the stage. Wind solos and duets added graceful colors to the orchestral palette, including from flutist Niles Watson, oboist Nicholas Masterson, and clarinetist Anton Rist. Mr. Milanov paired Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, featuring guest soloist Ms. Yang with Franz Schubert’s familiar Unfinished Symphony No. 8 in B Minor for the second half of the concert. The nearly full house at Richardson Auditorium could easily settle into the grace and elegance of Schubert’s symphonic writing, and the players no doubt felt this was a chance to
relax after the intensity of Cone’s work. Mr. Milanov achieved a good sense of drama in the first of the only two movements extant from this symphony, easing into the well-known tune with a great deal of rubato. The six celli played the melody as if they were one instrument, aided by agile melodic playing by clarinetist Mr. Rist and oboist Mr. Masterson. Mr. Milanov found peace and serenity in the second movement, which allowed another great melody to be heard from the celli. Mr. List was especially effective in sustaining long notes which changed harmonic function against the other players, yet his playing seemed to subtly adjust the pitch to always be in the right place in the chord. In Ms. Yang, Mr. Milanov saved the best for last. Based on the technical difficulty for the solo pianist, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini can be interpreted as a musical conversation between composer and the devil, but Ms. Yang had no trouble maintaining the dialog between the piano and the orchestra. Anything connected with Paganini would naturally lend itself to virtuosity, and from the beginning, the 24 variations on Paganini’s theme required precision and technical facility from both soloist and instrumentalists. Ms. Yang and the players of the PSO were always exactly in time as the variations flowed one into another. Adding especially refined color was English horn player Nathan Mills and in a short solo, concertmistress Basia Danilow. s. Yang truly brought the Rhapsody to life with flawless technique and quick-fire playing, especially in the upper register of the piano. She was always able to find musical direction in all the technical filigree, and brought out the lush Romantic character in the central variation composed almost as a piano solo. Required to play with lightning speed, Ms. Yang was nevertheless able to find lyricism when necessary. Saving such a stellar performance until last gave the Princeton Symphony Orchestra the opportunity to close the concert on a spectacular high note and leave the audience definitely wanting more. —Nancy Plum

Our Brand Is Crisis
CINEMA REVIEW
American Media Consultants Manipulate Bolivian Political Campaign
I
incredible feat was chronicled by Our Brand Is Crisis (2005), a documentary that showed how easy it was for money to corrupt the democratic process with the help of a team from Madison Avenue. The picture also questioned the wisdom of fixing foreign elections in this fashion, since bloody civil unrest subsequently arose in Bolivia, which forced Goni to flee the country for asylum in the U.S. a year later. Directed by David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express), Our Brand Is Crisis 2.0 is a sanitized version of the above described events. Names have been changed and characters have been conflated and added to make the intervention almost appear benign. Here, courtesy of revisionist history, the socialist (Louis Arcella) and capitalist (Joaquim de Almeida) candidates both rely on assistance from two American PR firms led by Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jane Bodine (Sandra Bullock), respectively. The entertaining adventure pits a flirtatious and crafty mercenary against an idealistic ex-alcoholic in a battle of wits marked by deception and dirty tricks. Instead of mak ing a pure political thriller, director Green has cut the tension with moments of levity and sexual innuendo. As a result, the movie works very well as formulaic Hollywood fare. The movie is a lighthearted primer in how to mount a smear campaign that manipulates a banana republic to vote against its own self-interest. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for profanity and sexual references. In English and Spanish with subtitles. Running time: 108 minutes. Distributor: Warner MAY THE BEST CANDIDATE WIN: Campaign managers Pat Candy (Billy Bob Thornton, left) and Brothers Pictures.

n 2002, Gonzalo “Goni” Sanchez de Lozada, a candidate for the presidency of Bolivia, was floundering in the polls with just a few months to go to election day. Since the desperate multimillionaire had been raised in the United States, he knew how a political consulting firm could influence the outcome of an election. So, he retained the services of James Carville, who had successfully orchestrated Bill Clinton’s presidential bid in 1992, and Carville came to Bolivia with a team of media-savvy strategists. Still, repositioning Goni would be difficult, since he was an unpopular ex-president who had been exposed as a pro-American, pro-globalization puppet controlled by powerful corporate interests. Carville and company’s only hope rested in employing smear tactics against the other two favorites in the race: a socialist and a capitalist. Ultimately, the carpetbaggers prevailed, and that

Hedy Shepard LTD Celebrates 15th Anniversary Offering the Best and Latest in Women’s Fashion
H
edy Shepard LTD is a true success story. This unique women’s specialty store at 175 Nassau Street offers the latest in women’s fashion. And not only that, owners Lynn Rabinowitz and Rachel Reiss have been providing their customers with fashion forward design at the Princeton location for the past 15 years!
IT’S NEW To Us
A love of fashion and a desire to offer the best selection for the suburban woman is their passion, explains Ms. Reiss. “The person who walks in our store is the suburban woman who doesn’t find what she wants in other places, who has often been forgotten in the direction fashion is going today, which is increasingly youth-oriented. We offer long-term investment dressing. Our collection is classic and elegant, and quirky with
an edge, but not way out. Just very interesting.” “We also have something our customers haven’t been able to find in a lot of places — service,” adds Ms. Rabinowitz. “We listen to what people are saying and are sensitive to what they want. They come here because they know they will be taken care of. This is really about s er v ice. Ab out g reet ing someone by name, giving them our full attention. Our customers are all ages, and many are long-time regulars. We know their needs — their style, their shape, their size. We’re always on the lookout for something that is right for them.” Hedy Shepard, LTD has had an impact on fashion in Princeton since original owner Hedy Shepard opened the store in 1987. Ms. Rabinowitz and Ms. Reis purchased it in 2000 — Ms. Reiss had been assistant to Hedy Shepard for several years — and the motherdaughter team has continued to emphasize quality fashion and service.
Mother-Daughter Team “The Hedy Shepard LTD name has an identification in the fashion industr y,” continues Ms. Rabinowitz. “When we bought the business, we bought the name, which was established in the community and the industry. We have made it our image as store owners and retailers, and have created our own path.” The mother-daughter team is definitely hands-on, and both owners are completely involved in the store’s operation. “We totally run the business together, and we are definitely on-site owners,” points out Ms. Rabinowitz. A d d s M s. Re i s s : “It’s Lynn’s business, my store, and we don’t make a decision without conferring with each other. We do it all together.” The extent to which she has come to enjoy the Hedy Shepard LTD experience has been a pleasure, and even a bit of a surprise to Ms. Rabinowitz. As she explains, “My original purpose was just to

launch Rachel. I wasn’t planning to stay. But now, it’s become part of me. I have no plans to leave. What is fun is working directly with the customers and having them walk out of here happy. I enjoy the relationships and friendships and the good times with customers.” C u s to m e r s ap p r e c i ate the mother- daughter re lationship and the family operation. It adds another dimension to the shopping experience, and customers look forward to being a part of the unique environment. Another aspect of shopping at Hedy Shepard is the personal attention. Whether a customer wants a new outfit, is seeking an accessory, or looking to update her existing wardrobe, she will find knowledgeable help and advice. Different Look “Our biggest goal is helping people to have confidence in what they are wearing,” points out Ms. Reiss. “They may not always feel ready to go even slightly out-of-the-box. We will make suggestions for them, so they can have a change, perhaps a little different look. They can try out something a little bit different than what they usually wear. We want our customer to have confidence to wear what she wants, but we can also give her a little nudge to try something different.” In addition, she notes, the staff is happy to assist customers updating their existing wardrobe. “You can bring in something you have, and we can update it. It’s a way to re-invent your existing wardrobe.” Both Ms. Reiss and Ms. Rabinowitz emphasize that it is not necessary to purchase a lot of new clothes to achieve a new look. “It’s very good to buy one or two items that can be worn with several other things. This is creating a wardrobe. You don’t wear something only one way. By mixing and matching, you get mileage out of your wardrobe.” Gray is a very popular col-
FASHION FOCUS: “We pride ourselves on service. Service is the most important part of our business component, and something customers don’t always find elsewhere.” Rachel Reiss (left) and Lynn Rabinowitz, owners of Hedy Shepard, LTD, look forward to continuing to offer customers the latest in women’s fashion in an atmosphere of knowledgeable service and personal attention. (Photo by Andrew Wilkinson) or now, as is taupe, notes Ms. Reiss. “Taupe is one of the most neutral and useful colors. It can go with anything.” Helping customers to accessorize is another important service at Hedy Shepard. Scarves, jewelry, and handbags are all available, and scarves are especially in demand today. “People actually have more scarves than T-shirts now!” reports Ms. Reiss. “They have been especially important in the past several years. Every material is popular: silk, cashmere, silk and rayon blends, wool challis — everything. And patterns, solids, textures, and all sizes. You can select a scarf and build a wardrobe around it.” Also available is a selection of life-style accessories, including the nylon wallets and handbags from MZ Wallace. All Categories Hedy Shepard carries the latest styles and fashion choices in all categories, including day to evening collections. Customers will find dresses, pants, sweaters, blouses, shirts and tunics, blazers, and outerwear, including down parkas and leather coats, along with informal life-style items — jackets, sweats, sporty casual choices.

“It’s refreshing to be able to offer a woman a pair of jeans that actually fit,” remarks Ms. Reiss. “We have jeans that fit women from Re d E ng i n e a n d Ja m e s Jeans. “Fur is also popular right now,” she continues. “Rabbit fur ear bands, hats, vests and infinity scarves, and sheared beaver hats are all available.” Among the array of innovative and flattering styles at Hedy Shepard LTD are the creations of such designers as Pier Antonio, Gaspari, Peserico, Liviana Conti, Pashma, Creenstone, LIlla P, Peace of Cloth, and Barbara Wells, among many others. There is no doubt that Ms. Rabinow itz and Ms. Reiss have found the right selection of designers and fashion choices to please their customers, but, as Ms. Rabinowitz points out, it is a continuing challenge. “We are a destination for people. They walk in for a reason, and you have to continue to find new things for them, to give them a reason to buy. You are continually inventing and re-inventing.” In addition, the store offers regular trunk shows and events. A sweater event will be held the week of November 16th, with three to five vendors on hand. Personal Shopper “We also have a nice following of men,” adds Ms. Reiss, who serves almost as a personal shopper for them. “They come in regularly to buy for their wives, and I will help them.” The store also has ongoing sales, and Ms. Reiss reminds people, “One does not have to spend great amounts of money to look great!” As they celebrate their 15th anniversary, Ms. Rabinowitz and Ms. Reiss reflect on this achievement, and look forward to bringing many more years of fashion expertise to their clientele. “I think we have created a uniquely special environment,” says Ms. Rabinowitz. “We’re proud of what we have accomplished, and we’re proud of what we can give to the community. Princeton is a wonderful town in which to do business, and shopping locally is important. We love what we’re doing, and we’ll keep doing it!” Hedy Shepard LTD is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Gift certificates and gift wrapping are available. (609) 921-0582.

Despite Coming Off Extraordinary 31-1 Campaign, No. 25 PU Women’s Hoops Has Unfinished Business
I
n its landmark campaign last winter, the Princeton University women’s basketball team posted a 30-0 regular season mark, won an opening round game in the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history, and captivated fans across the nation. But as Princeton looks forward to tipping off its 2015-16 season with home games against American on November 13 and Duquesne on November 15, there is a sense of unfinished business. “We didn’t achieve our goal last year which was to go to the sweet 16 so we would like to do that,” said Princeton senior forward and tri-captain Alex Wheatley, reflecting on last year’s 31-1 season. As a carryover from last year’s success, the Tigers were ranked 25th in the USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll, becoming the first-ever Ivy League program to earn a preseason national ranking. While Wheatley and her teammates are proud of that recognition, they know it’s more for entertainment purposes at this point. “I think we have a lot of potential but it doesn’t mean anything yet,” said Wheatley. “It is certainly an exciting way to start the season.” Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart believes that the ranking does reflect a growing respect in hoops circles for the program. “It says a lot, it shows that there is great trust on a national level for the program and the product we bring out year after year,” said Banghart. “Clearly it is a combination of last year’s success but I think there is some real trust in the program which we have worked hard to earn.” As always, Banghart will be looking for her squad to earn victories this weekend. “We will look forward to seeing where we are, it is not a sprint but I like to win every game we play so that will be the goal on Friday night and it will be the goal again on Sunday,” asserted Banghart. A big question mark coming into the season centers on how Princeton will deal with the void left by the graduation of Blake Dietrick, last year’s Ivy League Player of the Year. “Blake was critical because she was fearless, relentless, and she was our point guard so she dictated our possessions,” said Banghart.
“Annie Tarakchian (10.3 points and 9.3 rebounds in 2014-15), Alex Wheatley (10.9 points, 5.1 rebounds), and Michelle Miller (11.6 points) have such a strong presence on this team but the ball wasn’t in their hands all the time so it is a little bit different. It is a change of voice in how to lead in that position. We will miss Blake leading our possessions, we will miss her leading our huddles, we will miss her in the locker room but she has left a lot of herself here so hopefully we will be able to count on that.” Banghart is counting on Miller and Wheatley to be more focused this year on piling up bigger individual numbers. “Michelle and Alex are similar, they are gentle and they are team players so all they care about is winning,” said Banghart. “I have really had to teach them that their statistics matter; they have to obsess on how many they score and how many they rebound every night regardless of win or lose. I think that will make our team a lot better.” The 6’2 Wheatley is ready to stand tall for the Tigers. “I think I have to step up and really be a presence on both ends in the post,” said Wheatley. “I think in practice, it is about bringing others along; lift as you rise is one of coach’s favorite sayings and it is especially true this year since we are a younger team. We also have so much experience so I think it is about getting confident and being comfortable at both ends and really focusing on some production.” Another key producer is Tarakchian, whose knack for compiling double-doubles helped spark the Tigers last winter. “Annie is so good; she is really versatile,” said Banghart. “She is a real high motor kid, she rebounds like nobody else. She loves the game of basketball, she loves her teammates. She is a coach’s dream. I love coaching her. I love watching her play. I love watching how hard she competes. This is, in all essence, her team and I look forward to supporting her as we look to keep the trophy in Jadwin.” Tri-captain Tarakchian, for her part, is primed to lead and compete this winter. “Every year your role is different on the team,” said the 6’0 Tarakchian. “I think we are all still trying to get used to it, being juniors and being led by the four before and now having to speak up more and add a few points every game. It is definitely a
different dynamic. The fundamentals are still there, being communicative, being a leader on the floor, showing by example.” The x-factor for Princeton could be Vanessa Smith (7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds) who is going from key reserve to the starting lineup this winter. “Vanessa is huge, she is now a junior and it is very different from being the sixth man to being a starter,” said Banghart, whose other tricaptain, Taylor Williams (5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds) will fill a key reserve role. “Vanessa is going into the season as a starter; the accountability and the consistency that requires, she has yet to prove. I need both of those things to be critical components of Vanessa.” The play of senior Amanda Berntsen (6. 9 points, 55 assists) at point guard will be critical. “Amanda has started and she will be starting at the one,” said Banghart. “We play offenses that are HOLDING COURT: Princeton University women’s basketball head structured where it doesn’t coach Courtney Banghart answers a question at the program’s matter who our one is but annual media day last Thursday.

Featuring a Battle-Tested Starting Lineup, PU Men’s Hoops Primed to Take Next Step Having one season of college hoops under his belt, Amir Bell feels battle-tested as he looks ahead to his sophomore season for the Princeton University men’s basketball team. “You learn a lot, it is a long season and it is a tough season,” said Bell, who started all 30 games last year for Princeton, averaging 8.8 points a game and totaling 265 points, the most for a Tiger freshman since former Hun School standout Douglas Davis ’12 scored 333 points in the 2008-09 season. “You learn it is all about trusting the process and being together as a team. Every day we want to get better so by the time March comes we will be the best version of ourselves.” Over the offseason, Bell worked hard to become a better version of himself. “This summer I have really been working on my jump shot, mid-range and the corner,” said Bell “In general I have really been trying to become a leader, to really be vocal this year with the team. That is a really big step I am trying to take this year.” In the view of Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson, Bell’s progress and approach exemplifies what When it comes to insurance he is seeing from the rest of his veterans as the Tigers It helps to have a champion look forward to their season opener at Rider on NovemIn your corner READY TO PLAY: Members of the Princeton University men’s basketball team enjoy a light mo- ber 13. ment during the program’s annual media day last Thursday.

part of the league, I think it started to click. Hopefully we don’t have to worry about that again and that is ancient history. That is what a veteran guard does for you and his shot is now a much improved and more consistent shot and that makes us a very dangerous team.” Ju n ior g uard S p e n cer Weisz (11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds in 2014-15) gives the Tigers a veteran presence on the court. “Spencer takes the ball out like we were doing with T.J. Bray,” said Henderson, “He makes the decisions, he is coach on the floor in many ways. While Amir is your point guard both he and Spencer share a brain with what we are trying to do. I have really been impressed by Spencer’s leadership vocally and his ability to put a stamp on what we are doing.” The one -t wo punch of senior Hans Brase (11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds) and junior Pete Miller (5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds) gives the Tigers strength in the paint. “I like the punch and you have to include (sophomore) Alec Brennan there too and (freshman) Noah Bramlage,” said Henderson. “We have a lot of different ways we can play with Pete, in particular; he is an improved player around the basket. Defensively he gives us great length and the same thing with Alec, both of them are 6’10 and mobile. I think we just ask all of the guys to commit to what we are doing, and how are they going to make us better.” In order to move up from last year’s third place finish in the league, the Tigers have to be committed on the defensive end. “We were a ver y good offensive team but in the middle of the pack in the league defensively and it let us down in some crucial moments,” said Henderson. “We got better towards the end of the season and that has been a big point of emphasis for our staff. You got to be able to defend man to man and if you are going to play some zone you have got to be able to do some different things. Henderson is hoping that a defensive stopper emerges. “Who is going to make sure that we are getting stops defensively, who is going to wipe out another team’s best player because that has been
a question mark for us,” said Henderson. “I would say (junior) Steve Cook (10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds) could be that guy. Spencer, while not the fastest guy, has a real knack for keeping his body in front of people. I would love to see it be Amir.” Henderson believes that some of the team’s freshmen, Devin Cannady, former Pennington standout Miles Stephens, and Bramlage, could prove to be key guys for the Tigers this winter. “I like all of them,” said Henderson. “Devin Cannady is a prolific scorer, and his personality comes out when he plays. He is very eager to get better and do well. Miles is sort of a 6’4 Kareem Maddox. He is long, he moves his feet for a freshman as well as anybody I have ever seen defensively. Noah Bramlage can really make shots and he is big. He is in a long line of centers we have had who are big posts that are capable of doing a lot of things. I like the freshman group a lot, they fit in and they have listened to what has been asked of them by the older guys and they are doing those things. I am going to put them in there, all of them. We are going to make some mistakes but I just ask them to go hard.” Princeton faces a hard challenge in Rider this Friday. “I think they are very good,” said Henderson. “They were a second place team in the MAAC (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference ) w ith 21 w ins and only losing one significant guy. They presented a lot of problems for us a year ago. I think it is a great opener. I think they are going to be very good; it is a tough place to play.” Bell, for his part, is excited for the opener. “It is going to be a good challenge to see where we are,” said Bell. “We are really looking forward to it and it should be a fun one.” As the season unfolds, Bell is hoping to experience the fun of an Ivy title campaign. “We are trying to return to that, trying to get back to that stage,” said Bell. “Our coaches are Ivy League champions multiple times so we are trying to get there. It helps having them because they have been there and we are trying to follow in their footsteps.” —Bill Alden

Taking on Penn at venerable Franklin Field in Philadelphia last Saturday afternoon, the Princeton University football team did a lot of good things. Princeton held a 24-22 edge in first downs, had a gamehigh 108 yards rushing from Joe Rhattigan, a game-best 218 yards passing from Chad Kanoff, and recovered two fumbles. But in the end, Princeton’s failure to convert a fourth and goal from the one-yard line, having a field goal blocked at the end of regulation, and its inability to keep Penn from scoring a touchdown after taking a three-point lead in overtime doomed the Tigers to a 26-23 OT defeat. Princeton head coach Bob Surace lamented his team’s critical lapses as it fell to 5-3 overall and 2-3 Ivy League, officially getting eliminated from the league title race in the wake of Harvard beating Columbia 24-16 to improve to 8-0 overall and 5-0 Ivy with two games remaining. “I thought it was a really good football game; both teams had a lot of long drives; we had four drives with 12plus plays during the game,” said Surace. “Penn beat the No. 4 team in the nation earlier in the year (a 24-13 win over Villanova on September 24) and controlled that game. They are playing at a very high level and I thought most of the game we matched or exceeded it. We just couldn’t get over the hump. We have got to take care of the small details. We can’t have a blocked field goal at the end of the game. A few plays before that, we had
a gaping hole that gets called back on a false start. You play 200 plays and those six plays keep you up at night.” The Tigers displayed a high level of resilience as they battled back from a 10-3 deficit midway through the second quarter. With junior Rhattigan bulling through the Quaker defense for touchdown runs of four yards and two yards, Princeton pulled ahead 17-10. Then in the waning seconds of the half, a Penn miscue on special teams led to a 39-yard field goal by Nolan Bieck as the Tigers took a 20-10 lead into halftime. “We were able to mount a pretty good long drive and get a stop right before the end of the half,” said Surace, reflecting in his team’s second quarter rally. “We get another score and we kicked off. We did a pop up kick and they fumbled it. We got the ball back and we got into Nolan’s field goal range on the next play.” In the third quarter, the only scoring came from Penn, which got a three-yard touchdown run from Tre Solomon to culminate an 84-yard march and narrow the Princeton lead to 20-17. The Tigers responded with a 19-play, 70 yard march that ended early in the fourth quarter when Penn stuffed Rhattigan for a one-yard loss on fourth and goal at the one. “We got a bunch of really good short yardage conversions; we weren’t able to punch it in from the one,” said Surace. Penn got a field goal late in the fourth quarter to tie the

game at 20-20 but Princeton went on the march again, driving to the Penn 18 and attempting a 35-yard field goal at the end of regulation that got blocked. “We had a long drive and got the ball down to the 18,” said Surace. “We didn’t block right on that kick.” In overtime, the Tigers had the first possession and had three straight incomplete passes before Bieck came through with a 42-yard field goal. Penn, though, didn’t waste time pulling out the game as former WW/P-S star Brian Schoenauer rushed for 14 yards and quarterback Alek Torgerson hit Eric Fiore for an 11-yard TD pass to make it a 26-23 final. “We felt like we had some opportunities on our end and we didn’t make the most of them,” said Surace, reflecting on the overtime. “We got the field goal but they did a good job executing their plays and they got a TD.” Surace liked the execution he got from offensive stars Rhattigan, Kanoff, and wide receiver Seth DeValve (9 catches for 65 yards). “Joe was grinding out a lot of tough, three and four-yard gains when we needed them,” said Surace. “He did some really good things. Chad probably had his best game; how he managed both 2-minute drills in the first half and then at the end of the regulation were terrific. Having Seth back was great, he really made some good plays in the course of the game.” The Tiger defense made its share of big plays, as junior linebacker Luke Catarius had 14 tackles and junior safety Dorian Williams made 10 stops. “That is one of the best offenses we will see, for the most part, we took away some of the things they do well,” said Surace. “They have a great deep passing game and I thought we took away the deep balls. We took away their inside running to a certain extent. They ran their speed option and their quarterback got some good blocking.” While the narrow defeat was disappointing, Surace sees no reason for despair. “We just have to continue to practice hard and do the things we are doing,” said Surace. “Unfortunately we had some opportunities at different points in the game to either get a bigger lead or force them into throwing the ball more. We had some opportunities to win it at the end and we didn’t get it done. It is not like we are from here to Georgia, it is like we are from here to Trenton. It is getting the little details done.” With Princeton hosting Yale on November 14 in one of the longest-running rivalries in college football, the Tigers will get the opportunity to come up with a memorable win in its home finale. “There are some terrific teams in the league, we are going to play one in Yale next week,” said Surace. “They have had some huge wins, they beat a CAA (Colonial Athletic Association) school in Maine. They had a big win over Brown last week. They have played well when they have been healthy. They certainly have had, just like us, a lot of these good hard-fought one play games that come down to one score.” —Bill Alden
Bouncing Back From Disappointing Loss to Cornell, PU Women’s Hockey Tops Colgate, Improves to 5-1 Playing in its first home weekend of the season, the Princeton University women’s hockey team got out of the gate with a bang. Hosting Cornell last Friday evening, Princeton jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a goal by sophomore forward Kiersten Falck. P r i nce ton h e ad coach Jeff Kampersal liked what he saw in the first period as his team looked to win its fifth straight game of the season. “We star ted off pret t y strong,” said Kampersal. “I thought in the first period we controlled 18 minutes of it. We were all over them. It would have been nice to get out of there up more than one.” After getting outshot 14-4 in the second period but preserving its 1-0 lead, the Tigers had the better of the play in the third and were clinging to the lead heading into the waning moments of the contest. But the Big Red came alive with two goals in the last 1:16 of regulation to stun the Tigers and pull out a 2-1 win. “In the third period, we had control, we were playing well, and I didn’t want a power play towards the end there,” said Kampersal. “We relax on the power play, we don’t play relentlessly and they stole a game from us. We played poorly that last minute. You have to play 60 minutes. You have to be more relentless than the other team and you don’t give away games. We just gave it away.”
Kampersal thought that Falck and senior forward Cristin Shanahan, in particular, did give the Tigers a good effort in defeat. “Falck is a really good player, she needs to shoot t h e p u c k m o r e ,” s a i d Kampersal. “That was good, maybe that will entice her to shoot it more and get that goal in. I thought Shanny did a great job. She is hustling all over the place; she always brings a heart and soul effort. She is a good penalty killer.” A day later, Pr inceton showed heart as it ended the weekend on a high note, topping Colgate 3-2 as fresh-
man forward Karlie Lund scored two goals and junior defenseman Kelsey Koelzer added another to help the Tigers improve to 5-1 overall and 3-1 ECAC Hockey. Kampersal had the sense that his players would come through against Colgate. “We’ll see what team we have, we will see if they bounce back,” said Kampersal, whose team has a twogame set this weekend with Quinnipiac, playing at the Bobcats on November 13 and then hosting a rematch at Baker Rink on November 14. “I think we have got a pretty good group; we just need to polish up a few areas.” —Bill Alden

Nearly snapping its decade-long losing streak, the Princeton University sprint football team suffered a heartbreaking 44-36 loss to Chestnut Hill last Friday night, squandering a 16-point fourth quarter lead in the process. The Tigers led 22-14 at halftime and 36-20 early in the fourth quarter but yielded 24 unanswered points over the last 13:21 of the contest to fall just short of victory and end the season with a 0-5 record. Junior quarterback Chad Cowden led the way for Princeton, completing 10of-29 pass attempts for 205 yards and two touchdowns. A lso t he team’s leading
rusher, Cowden ran for two more scores while gaining 83 yards on 29 carries. Winless over their last 66 games, the Tigers last earned a victory on November 4, 2005 against the Virginia Military Institute, a club team. Princeton will have to wait until next year to end its streak of 106 games without a varsity CSFL (Collegiate Sprint Football League) win dating back to 1999. ———

On paper, the 2015 state Prep B girls’ soccer championsh ip ga m e had t he makings of a nail biter as top-seeded Princeton Day S c h o o l h o s te d s e c o n d seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy. Defending champion PDS brought a 16-2-1 record into the November 3 clash while MKA was 17-1 and boasted one of the top players in the state, prolific scorer and Boston College-bound Olivia Vaughn. Pat Trombetta knew that his PDS squad faced a formidable challenge in the visitors. “They have outscored their opponents 90-10 and they made it to the Essex County finals,” said Trombetta. “Their only loss this season was against a powerhouse Montclair team so we knew that we were on for a battle.”
The Panthers fired the first volley, nearly scoring 1:40 into the contest as a point blank shot from Damali Simon-Ponte flew just over the cross bar. That sequence set the tone as the teams produced a riveting classic before an overflow crowd at Baker Field with numerous end-toend runs and some bruising physical play as they battled to a scoreless draw through regulation. Trombetta sensed from the first whistle that his squad was up for the fight. “We had a lot of young players out there and the way they played today, I didn’t see any nerves at all from the get-go,” said Trombetta. “We were settled in and we were ready to play.” Add ing to t he drama, Vaughn got knocked out of the game with a nose injury 15 minutes into the second

half and starting goalie Hope Buchan left the contest with a facial cut in the waning moments of regulation. As teams heading into sudden deat h over t ime, PDS junior star for ward Hannah Bunce felt momentum was on the side of the Panthers. “I felt a goal was coming, I think we all did,” said Bunce. “We had many opportunities and we were beating them down the sides plenty of times. It was just a matter of time before the ball went into the back of the net.” Seven minutes into the first overtime period, Bunce took a feed from freshman Kelsey Lane and blasted it into the back of the net to give the Panthers that goal and their second straight Prep B title. “I was just thinking you have to score, you have to score,” said Bunce. “It is the final two minutes and we have to get one in. This was a physical game and it could have gone either way but I think that we had more heart. We wanted it more, we were definitely in it to win it, no matter what.” The PDS students raced on the field en masse to celebrate Bunce’s golden goal, mobbing the Panther players as they hugged each other. With the Panthers having fallen short of a Mercer County Tournament title as they fell to Notre Dame in the semis, PDS junior mid-

fielder Abby Atkeson and her teammates were primed to give their all in one last bid for a championship this fall. “We played really well in that game and we wanted to bring that same energy and same kind of focus and same kind of intensity into this one,” said Atkeson. “I am just so proud of these girls for all that they have done and accomplished this season. We have had an incredible season with such a young team. We have so many freshmen and we have only one senior (Izzy Meyercord) and the fact that that didn’t intimidate us coming into this game was great.” Atkeson was not intimidated as she drew the assignment of marking MKA star Vaughn all over the field. “I had a lot of help from the back four, Izzy Meyercord, Emily Simons, Becca Kuzmicz, and Maddie Coyne are amazing; they helped me cover all of that space,” said Atkeson. “The best defense is a good offense and Damali and Han na h were ma king great runs up the side. We had a lot of really good crosses into the middle, which was great.” Trombetta credited Atkeson with playing a great role in the PDS defensive effort by stifling Vaughn. “I thought Abby Atkeson did a tremendous job on her, unfortunately Vaughn went out with an injury,” said Trombetta. “I thought we were containing her pretty well and that is all Abby right there. Abby did a helluva job handling that responsibility.” It came as no surprise to Trombetta that Bunce notched the game winner. “Hannah Bunce has been tremendous all season, what a breakout year for her,” asserted Trombetta. “She was knocking on the door all game long, she is a tough mark for any team with her physicality and speed and that left foot is a cannon.” In Trombetta’s view, PDS’s depth and versatility made it
so tough to beat this fall as it went 17-2-1. “I think it is the balance we have on this team,” said Trombetta. “You have got a great keeper (sophomore Grace Barbara) and you have got a great defense. If you look at our midfield, we relied on two freshmen today, Madison McCaw and Kelsey Lane. What composure down there for Kelsey, setting up Hannah, she just threaded the needle on that pass and Hannah finished it.” The dramatic win over MKA was a fitting finish to a great season. “The first goal in the beginning of the season was to defend our title, that was our primary goal from day one,” said Trombetta, who also guided the program to the 2013 MCT crown.
“We got this opportunity today and we jumped all over it. It is great, this is our third straight championship. I am real happy for Izzy, she is a senior captain and missed the last two years with a broken leg. To be able to play a whole season and then go out on top like this is really special for her.” Atkeson, for her part, was thrilled with the happy ending. “The fact that we were able to defend our championship title was awesome, it is the highlight of the season,” said Atkeson. “We had a great season and we wanted to finish it up with a nice bow and a championship and this is a great way to do that.” —Bill Alden

As a kid growing up in Princeton in the late 1960s, Johnny Morris gave baseball a try but things didn’t go well. “My father and brother wou ld t hrow a baseball at me and I would put my head away,” said Morris. “I was scared to death of a fly ball.” Having struck out at baseball, Morris turned to the more obscure spring sport of lacrosse and found a home. “I think I started as soon as I could hold a stick, playing out in the field,” recalled Morris. “It was something about the lacrosse stick; maybe not being so close to you as a mitt is. Lacrosse was just right. What was amazing was the middle school had a lacrosse team and I started playing in sixth grade.” Morris went on to have an amazing time playing for the Princeton High boys’ lacrosse team, starting four years at midfield and scoring more than 100 points in his career on the way to All-State honors. He combined with Bobby Campbell and Chris Cahill to form one of the best midfields in program history as PHS won the Pitt League title in 1978 during their senior year. This Saturday, Morris will take a special spot in PHS sports history as he will be inducted into the tenth class of the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame. He will be joined in the class by Alan Ammerman

For Morris, it is the relationships with his teammates and coaches that stand out when he looks back on his PHS career. “It is always fun to score goals, it is always fun to win a game but I think it is all about the camaraderie, the bond, and the respect you have for the coaches,” said Morris, 55. “You spend a lot of time out on the practice field, you spend a lot of time walking in and out of the locker room, you spend time getting your ankles taped. All those little conversations from place to place are the things that you cherish.” Morris certainly cherished playing with Campbell and Cahill. “It was really great, the three of us had different skill sets,” said Morris of the trio, who served as team tri-captains in their senior year. “We didn’t seem to come off the field ver y much. Bobby would get the ball up and down the field and he was faster than anyone. Chris Cahill was the doer; he would do the face-offs. He was at the center at making so much happen.

With Midfielder Halliday Serving as Catalyst, PHS Boys’ Soccer Rolls Into Sectional Semis Although Nick Halliday isn’t one of the headliners on the Princeton High boys’ soccer team, he has a vital role on the squad. “I feel like even though I am not a captain, I am a leader on this team,” said senior midfielder Halliday. “People look up to me and I have to make sure I play big in big moments and make sure the team can rely on me. I might not get so many stats but I try to play to benefit the team the best that I can.” Last Friday as third-seeded PHS hosted sixth-seeded East Brunswick in the Central Jersey Group 4 section quarterfinals, Halliday came up big, assisting on the first two goals of the game as the Little Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 halftime lead on the way to a 3-1 victory. Just over 10 minutes into the contest, Halliday slotted a ball that Cole Snyder banged into the back of the net. About 13 minutes later, he lofted a free kick which Drew Beamer headed home. “The first one to Cole, I know he always makes runs into the box so I saw him right there,” recalled Halliday. “He started making the run and if I play it to him I know he will finish it. On the free kick, we are always good in the air so I just put it up for Drew Beamer and Chris Harla and one of them will get there.” After pulling out a 1-0 nail-biter against 14th-seeded Marlboro in the opening round of the tournament,
Halliday and his teammates were determined to get off to a better start against East Brunswick. “We weren’t upset with ourselves but we knew we should have been playing better that game so our whole goal this game was to come out flying and we did,” said Halliday. With PHS going up 3-0 at half as senior Luis Lazo tallied 31.2 second before intermission, Halliday and his teammates were determined to close the deal. “On the sideline Chris Harla was saying we are up 3-0 but this is the type of team that can score three in a half so we can’t let up,” said Halliday. “We listened to him and said take care of business.” Moving up from Group 3 to Group 4, PHS has shown that it is a team to be reckoned with at any level. The win over East Brunswick earned the Little Tigers a spot in the sectional semifinals where they were slated to host seventh-seeded Freehold Township on November 10 with the victor advancing to the title game on November 13. “Now that we are in with these Group 4 teams, we wonder what they are going to be like,” noted Halliday. “I think we have proved our place in this group.” With his older brothers, Zach and Kev in, hav ing played for state championship teams at PHS, Halliday is looking to follow in their footsteps.” “I definitely don’t want any of these to be my last

game,” said Halliday. “I am trying to catch up with my brothers.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe liked the way his squad took a step forward against East Brunswick. “I think the first game in any tournament is the hardest,” said Sutcliffe. “Our intent today was to have urgency and quality early. We knew their result in the previous game was one with a lot of emotion behind it (a win on a penalty-kick shootout) so if we could score first it would be a decided advantage, which it was was. We were sharp in the beginning of the game. It was great, I was so happy, that is what you have to do at this point. You are months into this, you have to start getting better.” In Sutcliffe’s view, the gritty, skilled play of Halliday helps make the Little Tigers one of the better teams around. “Nick was great, he is so industrious,” said Sutcliffe. “His percentages were good, he won some duels. He inserts the ball and complements our personality players in that regard. You need guys like that, without them we wouldn’t be nearly as successful.” Another key guy for PHS is the speedy Lazo, who has demonstrated a knack for scoring big goals. “I am so happy for him, getting him in behind is the goal,” said Sutcliffe. “He is so fast and Chris (Harla), to his credit, hit a beautiful diagonal ball and credit to Luis, that is not an easy finish. It is a breakaway but that is what he is capable of so hopefully he can keep doing that for us.” Sutcliffe was very happy w ith how his team performed at the defensive end as it only yielded a late penalty kick. “D w ight Don is, E dgar Morales, and Pete Luther played well up the spine of the field,” asserted Sutcliffe. “Their 9 shir t made it hard and the 13 was good but they didn’t get through. Owen (Lindenfeldar), to his credit, had to make some saves in goal; they tested them a little bit.” With second-seeded South Brunswick failing to get through as it lost to No. 7 Freehold, PHS earned another home playoff game for the sectional semis. “We are as good as anybody in Group 4 in New Jersey, we know that,” said Sutcliffe. “In the team talk before the game, we knew that South Brunswick was losing and we talked about that you need breaks in tournaments. We just got a break so let’s make our own good luck and win today and host because that was our goal.” In Halliday’s view, the Little Tigers have what it takes to keep winning. “I think that was one of our best games of the season,” asserted Halliday. “If we keep playing like we did in this game, I think we can make a big run. We just have to play our game. We have to play like we did today, keep putting pressure on teams, using our speed up top, and getting crosses in and free kicks.” —Bill Alden
Senior Quarterback Beamer Scraps to the End As PHS Football Drops Thriller to WW/P-N Even though the Princeton High football team was trailing WW/P-N 48-38 when it got the ball with 54.7 seconds remaining in regulation, Dave Beamer wasn’t about to give up. The PHS senior quarterback rushed for 33 yards in five carries on that final possession, which ended with Beamer trying to throw the ball as he was getting buried under a furious pass rush from the Northern Knights. “I knew we had to make something happen, unfortunately it didn’t happen,” said Beamer, who limped off the field after the final play. “Everyone was a little disappointed that we couldn’t come out on top.” With the program holding its annual Senior Day ceremony before the game, Beamer and his classmates were fired up to give WW/PN a battle. “I remember sitting around thinking that Senior Day is way off, all of a sudden it creeps up on you and you are there, it is sort of surreal,” said Beamer. “We were all tr ying to have a good time. We were all really excited to go out and just play the last game at home potentially.” After PHS dug a 14-0 hole early in the second quarter, it turned into an exciting game as the Little Tigers rallied. Beamer got PHS on the board as he hit classmate Matt Ochoa with a 27-yard TD pass with 10:40 left in the first half. “That was a broken play,” recalled Beamer. “The center snapped it too early and everyone was freaking out. I ran out of the pocket and found Matt deep, it was nice that he could get open.” The game became a track meet after that as PHS senior tailback Rory Helstrom ran w ild, s cor ing t hree touchdowns on runs of 11, 25, and 39 yards to match WW/P-N quarterback Malik Thompson, who had a dazzling 69-yard scoring jaunt and a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as the teams were locked in a 28-28 stalemate nearing halftime. “It was weird, all I did on offense was turn around and hand it off,” said Beamer. “Rory is a great back and we are lucky to have him.” The Little Tigers forged ahead 31-28 as sophomore Jakob Green booted a 36yard field goal with seconds remaining in the half. “The field goal was huge and since we were coming off that 14-0 hole and erased deficit that gave us a lot of momentum coming out after halftime,” said Beamer. I n t h e t h i r d q u a r te r, Thompson threw a touchdown pass as WW/P-N regained the lead at 35-31. PHS responded with a 41yard TD run by Helstrom to go ahead 38-35. The Little Tigers never scored again as Thompson hit a TD pass to John Owens and C.J. Markisz scored on a 19-yard run to get up by the final margin of 48-38. The loss left PHS with a regular season record of 4-5 and it will wrap up the fall by hosting Millburn on November 14 in a NJSIAA regional crossover game. “Malik is a great player,
he found a way to beat us,” said Beamer, who also played safety on defense in the contest. “When we started to shut him down, they started giving it to their running back (Markisz) and he trucked ahead for four or five yards every time.” For Beamer, his PHS football career has been about finding a way to be at his best. “Going into freshman year, the only reason I played QB was because my Pop Warner coach said I should,” said Beamer. “It was cra z y what it turned into and all the experiences that I have had going through these four years.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher is proud of his senior class, having gone through a lot with the group which includes Shahieym Brown, Matt Lambert, Kiki Mahiri, Joe Cunsolo, Noah Ziegler, Alex Cortez, Matt Toplin, and Nick Fliss in addition to Beamer, Helstrom, and Ochoa. “They are real special, “ said Gallagher. “I was their freshman coach and the second year when they were sophomores, we went 0-10 when I got the head job. We have a special bond; they are good kids.” PHS got a special effort on Saturday from Helstrom, as he ended up with 328 yards r ushing and four touch downs. “Rory had a monster game,
he always does,” said Gallagher. “There haven’t been many people who have been able to shut him down this year.” In Gallagher’s view, Beamer has been the glue holding the squad together. “He has meant the world to the program,” asserted Gallagher. “He is a feisty kid. He is one of our team leaders. There is a reason why he is a captain, people gravitate to him. He does a great job.” Gallagher tipped his hat to WW/P-N, noting that it did a better job than PHS down the stretch. “They just made more plays than we did, it was a high-scoring game, there was a lot of back and forth,” said Gallagher. “I expected that kind of game. I expected them to make some big plays and I expected us to ground it out, which we did on a lot of drives to punch it in. We were hoping to get the victory, it just didn’t work out.” PHS will be hoping to come up big in the finale against Millburn. “We are disappointed that we couldn’t get a win today,” said Gallagher. “We have got next week, we want to get to 5-5 and be .500 for the season.” Beamer, for his part, is confident that the Little Tigers will scrap to the end. “We may not have the most guys or be the best football team but we definitely put it on the line for 48 minutes every Saturday,” asserted Beamer. —Bill Alden

After finishing second in the county meet at Thompson Park in Jamesburg in late October, the Princeton High boys’ cross country team posted slower times on the course last Saturday in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional meet. “We were expecting a lightning fast race so when the race ended, we were actually kind of disappointed by our time,” said PHS head coach Mark Shelley. “The first mile was very slow by the standards of the competition; I think there was some jockeying going on. We were 15 seconds off what our average was at the county meet (16:50 versus 16:35).” Shelley, though, was not disappointed by his team’s result as it took third, with 126 points, putting it just behind South Brunswick (122) and champion Old Bridge (43). Junior Alex Roth led the way for PHS, taking eighth in a time of 16:13.70 over the 5-kilometer course with sophomore Will Hare next in 18th at 16:41.48. “Old Bridge and South Brunswick, who are very, very good, knew they were going to qualify anyway so they didn’t feel the need to exert huge amounts on energy,” said Shelley, noting that the runners were slowed by the muddy conditions in the park. “Overall, we basically ran the same average as South Br unsw ick and we were closer to them than we have been all year. We beat South (WW/P-S) for a third time. We beat Hunterdon Central, they were seventh and they had been ranked higher than us all year. Montgomery and Hillsborough are always very, very good and we beat them. If we don’t have our best day and we can still be close to front and not get caught by these other people, that says a lot about what we have been doing. In S helley’s v iew, t he team’s finish exceeded his
expectations coming into the fall. “At the beginning of the season when we got moved up to Group 4, I wasn’t sure we would get out of the sectional, looking at everybody and who they had back,” said Shelley. “I knew we had a chance to have a good year but at the same time there are things you can’t predict.” Sophomore Nick Delaney had a very good day at the sectional, taking 30th in 17:01.07 as the third Little Tiger to cross the finish line. “Nick Delaney was sixth or seventh all year and he ran third, that is the essence of a team sport,” said Shelley. “He broke his foot last spring so he was not able to run all summer. It is frustrating for him, he feels like he is a little bit behind the guys. He has always shown a real tenacious mentality and he had two tremendous workouts the last two weeks. Yesterday before the race, I pulled him aside and told him that he shouldn’t settle for being sixth or seventh with the workouts he had been doing. He said ‘Thanks coach, I really appreciate that, I am planning to score today.’” The team’s top scorer, Rot h, pro duce d a s olid eighth place finish even though he didn’t have his best day. “Alex has been very consistent in his performances, yesterday was a day where he would probably tell you that he was not happy,” said Shelley. “He was in second and third place in the beginning of the race but didn’t have a good second half of the race. He finished eighth and he had beaten several of those people ahead of him before.” Hare produced another superb race, cementing his status as the squad’s No. 2 runner.
“He has really separated himself from the other group,” said Shelley. “Depending on what happens, we may let him do some more training with Alex and get him a little closer. Clearly, he has emerged as a really, really gifted runner. He is so relaxed about everything. He was more worried about the Clemson football game than the race. One of the things about running is that you want to be focused but you don’t want to be overly uptight. He certainly is not overly uptight. Shelley is expecting tight competition at the Group 4 meet this Saturday at Holmdel. “I think, in the global scheme of things, you look at Group 4 and it is amazingly difficult,” said Shelley. “Not only do you have the teams that qualified yesterday in the Central, you have Cherry Hill East, you have Cherokee, and others like Morristown and Millburn. The way we look at it, there are eight or nine excellent, excel le nt c ros s cou nt r y teams in the meet. The top three automatically qualify for MOC (Meet of Champions) but there are two wild cards total and they almost certainly will come out of our group. So our goal would be the top five. If we can do that, it would be an incredible achievement. There are probably five or six teams fighting for two spots.” As PHS prepares for that battle, Shelley will be emphasizing process, not result. “We will focus on what we can control at this point, you have to trust your training and trust your teammates,” said Shelley. “We will be smart. We don’t talk about winning championships, we talk about running our race. We will try to pick out competitors who we think will be in a good position for us to challenge. It is more to do with teams we haven’t seen.” —Bill Alden
PHS Girls’ Cross Country Qualifies for Group Meet As Its Depth Helps Pull Out 5th Place at Sectional As the Princeton High girls’ cross count y team competed at the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional meet last Saturday, its frontrunners did their job. Senior Lou Mialhe placed ninth, covering the 5-kilometer course at Thompson Park in Jamesburg in 19:40.44 while sophomore Chloe Taylor placed 10th on 19:44.26. But it was an unheralded performer, junior Annefleur Hartmanshenn, who outdid herself and made the difference, taking 24th as PHS finished fifth in the team standings to secure the last qualifying spot for the upcoming state Group 4 meet. Hillsborough placed first with WW/P-S taking second. PHS head coach Jim Smirk tipped his hat to Hartmanshenn’s inspiring effort. “Annefleur is a kid who in her freshman year was a rank and file kid; she worked her way into a varsity position,” said Smirk, whose team has 112 points with Freehold just behind at 118. “She was really the big thing that got us through on Saturday. She was in 31st place with a little under a mile left and she moved up to 24th. She was under a ton of pressure in the last mile. Ultimately, we passed Freehold because she passed their fifth, fourth, and third runners in that last mile. Not only did she move up seven spots but she added three additional points onto Freehold.” In Smirk’s view, Hartmanshenn personifies the persistence that can lead to cross country success. “It is good, solid consistent work, it wasn’t just in a season, it was year after year,” added Smirk. “She really did the yeoman’s work, nitty gritty in the trenches to get it done every day and get better every day. She is the kind of kid you want to held up and and say look it doesn’t really matter where you start, it is what you are willing to do

on a daily basis that makes it happen.” The Little Tigers got some good work at the sectional meet from junior Izzy Trenholm, who placed 16th in a time of 20:07.92. “Izzy has had two postseasons in her career; in her freshman year she broke her elbow and last year she had a little sickness coming into the end of the season,” said Smirk. “She is finally putting together a complete season so we want to see her get on board with racing that is good and strong at the end of the season. She made a very good move this weekend to do that.” At the front of the PHS pack, Mialhe and Taylor complemented each other with their tactical moves. “Lou likes to run a little bit more aggressively early on and Chloe likes to come on a little bit later and I think they both had their advantage,” said Smirk. “I think Chloe maybe put together a little more complete race from start to finish but in a lot of ways Lou set a front edge for us, a target. She did more of the veteran
work and I think Chloe did a little more of the younger runner work, being aggressive late and doing a nice job there.” Another Little Tiger who did nicely was junior Jackie Patterson, the 53rd place finisher. “She is a kid with a lot of talent, cross countr y is a stretch for her,” said Smirk. “Late in the season, she started to gain a little more confidence. We wanted to give her a shot and it paid off for us. She came in fifth for us and filled that back edge for us. We squeaked through.” Having made it to the Group 4 meet on November 14 at Holmdel, Smirk is looking for his runners to build on their effort at the sectional. “I think it is a little more of the same; we want our middle to run a little bit better,” said Smirk. “We think both Izzy and Annefleur have more to give; we want them to explore that a little more. We had some questions about the 5, 6, and 7 spots for us and I think they figured that out a little bit. We moved forward there a little bit.” —Bill Alden

PLANNING FOR A SPRING SALE? START MAJOR UPGRADES NOW When it comes to getting your home ready for a spring sale, there's no time like right now - the autumn - to start getting major upgrades under way. Here are 3 reasons why:
• • •
Depending on the type of upgrade you're considering, you may need permits, and the permitting process can sometimes take awhile, especially if inspections are required throughout the construction process. Fall and autumn are typically slower months for contractors, which means you can potentially get a better deal, as well as a faster completion time. Finally, most big construction projects (and even many little ones) tend to take longer then you or you contractor expect. Starting now ensures your project will be ready when those first spring buyers start combing the listings.
Before starting any pre-sale upgrades, it's a good idea to talk to your agent to ensure the projects you're undertaking will pay off when it's time to sell, either in a higher price or more offers (and a faster closing). Agents have an in-depth understanding of the upgrades buyers in your market are most likely to want; by tapping into that knowledge, you'll be taking a bog step toward setting yourself ahead of the competition this spring.

As Professional Arborists, we are often forced to maintain trees and shrubs in a plant hostile urban environment. Many landscaped soils are in poor condition, highly compacted and low in organic matter, forcing the trees to grow under stress. At Woodwinds, we can help create a better soil and growing condition for your trees. Virtually all of our products are based on natural, biological technologies that promote the health and long term survivability of plants. Over time, they can recharge soils and build stronger tree root systems. We have become increasingly aware of the interdependence of ecological systems and the urgent need to promote environmentally-conscious practices. Traditional methods of land management and tree care are rapidly giving way to innovative bio-rational technologies that strive to cooperate with the natural processes of growth and survival. Woodwinds offers effective solutions for your tree care needs. Woodwinds’ Plant Health Care Soil Injection Program simultaneously addresses biological, chemical and structural deficiencies in soils. Biofertilization with organic stimulants will improve pest and stress resistance, aerate and amend soil and promote healthy root development without stimulating excess top growth. And in our opinion, it provides the greatest long term return on investment for your trees. Should you have further questions or would like to schedule a Fall inspection, please contact us at 609924-3500 or email us at treecare@woodwindsassociates.com. Call WOODWINDS at 609924-3500 for a “natural systems assessment” of your landscape. “A tree’s leaves may be ever so good, so may its bark, so may its wood; but unless you put the right thing to its root, it will never show much flower or fruit.” -- Robert Frost
