At a post-election gathering last Thursday evening at Princeton Public Library, an overflow crowd of anxious residents voiced their fears about the future and heard pledges of support from local officials and the heads of non-profit and religious groups. Organized by the town’s Human Services Department, Mayor Liz Lempert and library director Brett Bonfield, the “Post-Election Conversation with Community Leaders” brought an overflow crowd to the library’s Community Room. The mood was somber. Some people wrote messages of support (“Keep Calm and Be Happy,” “I’m With You,” “Take the Time to Think About Others,” etc.) on sticky-notes and stuck them to a wall. Others attached safety pins, handed out by library staff, to their lapels. The pins have become a show of support, nationwide, to signify a willingness to stand up for the vulnerable. “This is not a political conversation or a rally,” Human Services director Elisa Neira said in her opening remarks. “It’s about how we can move forward …. This is a place to process, share, connect, and support.” Particularly distressed by the victory of Donald Trump, who has pledged to deport millions of immigrants, are the undocumented who live in Princeton, which is considered a sanctuary city. “Our neighbors are scared,” said Leticia Fraga, vice chair of Human Services and chair of the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund. “There are families whose children were crying and afraid to go to school. A third grader and fifth grader were told by classmates to start packing their bags. And just today, there were fewer people out on Witherspoon Street,” she added, referring to an area of town where many undocumented people reside. “They’re afraid.” Ms. Fraga was among those to offer support to residents. “We can assure the community we are here for them,” she said. “We will do all in our power to protect them.” Bill Schofield, interim executive director of HiTops, said that many LGBTQ teenagers who frequent the center are fearful. “They’re afraid that a lot of the gains accomplished over the last decade are gone overnight,” he said. “We have to think about how we’ll respond to this.” HiTops Continued on Page 4

PCDO: Biggest Challenge to Protect People and Issues

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat struck simultaneously for local Democrats last week. Eighty-three percent of Princeton votes went to Hillary Clinton, Liz Lempert won more than 70 percent of the ballots in the mayoral race, and two Democratic candidates were unopposed in their bid for town council seats. But the surprising Trump victory in the national election seemed to set the mood at Democratic Party Headquarters at 138 Nassau Street. Despite the extreme mixed emotions, the Democrats have not been stunned into inactivity. “I was surprised,” said Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) president Owen O’Donnell. “We’re going through something like the seven stages of grief. We’ve had our week of shock and despair, but now it’s time to organize and continue to fight for what we believe in.” Mr. O’Donnell discussed some of the difficulties the country might face in the next four years. “The biggest challenge ahead,” he noted, “is protecting people and issues that are going to be under fire under a Trump/ Republican agenda. And that reaches down from the national level to the local level. These are issues that affect people where they live, everywhere. We’re not going back to the time when bigotry and discrimination were accepted in this country.”

Emphasizing concerns about the environment, immigration, income inequality, and LGBTQ rights, Mr. O’Donnell stated, “We have to make sure that volunteers continue to turn out and put in the time and effort they put in on the presidential campaign.” He added, looking ahead to local mid-term elections, “2018 is also very important, and next year there are gubernatorial, state assembly, and state senate races.”

At their upcoming November meeting, Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Suzanne Patterson Center (behind Monument Hall), the PCDO will be featuring campaign strategist and Princeton native Tom Lindenfeld speaking on “Coming to Terms with the Twists and Turns of the 2016 Presidential Election.” Mr. Lindenfeld, president of LSG Strategies organizing and political telemarketing firm, has extensive Continued on Page 6

Council Members Challenge Eisgruber at Public Meeting A public dialogue between Princeton Council and Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber turned testy November 9 when a member of Council confronted Mr. Eisgruber about his response to the way local police handled the arrest of University Professor Imani Perry early this year. Also prominent in the discussion at Monument Hall was the fate of Springdale Golf Course. It was last February that Ms. Perry was pulled over on Mercer Street for speeding, and arrested on a warrant for unpaid parking tickets. Controversy erupted after Ms. Perry criticized police on social media and Mr. Eisgruber published a letter

in The Daily Princetonian calling for an investigation into the patting down and handcuffing of Ms. Perry to a desk. An investigation into the incident, including a video, showed that the officer involved had followed proper police procedure. There was talk among some residents and officials that Mr. Eisgruber should have publicly recognized that conclusion. “I don’t think you acknowledged that — actually even after it happened — our police were following good procedures,” Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller said to Mr. Eisgruber. “When Professor Perry Continued on Page 8

has expanded its hours and services in response to the election. Shane Berg, an assistant professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, said there was “palpable suffering” at the school the day after the election. “There were lots of expressions of vulnerability,” he said. “So much of what is done that is ugly in this is in the name of Christianity, so we feel more committed than ever.” Mr. Berg said the seminary has the space and the students to make it a “common resource” for those in need. He hopes to work with thousands of alumni, many in “red” states, on how to make a difference. Members of Nassau Presbyterian Church are worried about refugees they have been helping in recent months, said the Rev. David A. Davis, who is also the president of the Princeton Clergy Association. “I’m hearing a depth of angst and despair,” he said. “Our building is a safe place for anyone to come into. We’re working on racial reconciliation and will continue that as a congregation.” The Princeton Clergy Association has been considering designating houses of worship in Princeton as sanctuaries, he added. Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Steven Cochrane said many students stayed home from school the day after the election, while others spent time talking to counselors. “Hispanic students are especially afraid. We have to be vigilant,” he said. Others who spoke included Ed Truscelli of Princeton Community Housing, Susan Hoskins of Princeton Senior Resource Center, James Steward of the Princeton University Art Museum, and Jeff Nathanson of the Arts Council of Princeton. When it was time for members of the crowd to offer comments, several took turns expressing their concerns. Omayma Mansour, a board member of the Islamic Society of Central Jersey, said she is afraid but optimistic. “The hatred is there. It is rampant,” she said. “But we are grateful and know this is the greatest country to live in, but we do need your support. Girls wearing hijabs are scared to leave their homes … but this is my America, just as anyone else’s. I was born in Reading, Pennsylvania and moved to Princeton,

and I am staying right here. We have time for healing but we have to roll up our sleeves and get to work.” There was a Trump supporter in the crowd, and he spoke with emotion. “Everything is going to be okay,” said Lee Eric Newton, who has been seen around town with pro-Trump signs in recent weeks. “Nobody is going to come in on buses and round people up and take them away.” A voice from the crowd asked, “But how do you know?” —Anne Levin

A BRAND NEW PRODUCTION OF THE HOLIDAY CLASSIC — MORE MAGIC AND MERRIMENT THAN EVER BEFORE!

Christmas Carol By CHARLES DICKENS

McCarter programming is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.

“There’s lots of uncertainty,” she stated. “The picture is very cloudy in terms of the environment we’re going to be facing going forward. We need to wait and see. In the meantime we need to serve and support our community.” In asserting the ongoing commitment of the LALDEF and the abilities of her successor, Adriana Abizadeh, Ms. Juega urged patience and calmness in the face of disturbing rhetoric from the national political arena.

TOPICS Of the Town “There have been statements made by the president-elect that are causes for concern,” she said, ”but talking is one thing and the reality of implementing policy that will be counterproductive to the welfare of our communities is something else. As reality sets in we’re hopeful that policies will accomodate the realities of people’s needs.” Ms. Juega noted that the principles on which LALDEF was founded — to defend the civil rights of Latin Americans and facilitate their access to health care and education, as well as to advance cross-cultural understanding in the Mercer County region — are also the principles of the nation. “This is a country that believes in — and defends human rights,” she said. “We need to have faith that that will prevail. We need to continue to assert those rights and educate our community for the good of us all. We must keep the faith.” Perceiving high stress levels and increasing anxieties in the groups served by LALDEF, she recommended that local residents continue with their daily lives and remain calm, and she further urged understanding and empathy from the community. “Keep us in mind,” she entreated. “We serve a population that is often hidden and not well understood, but they are members of our community. They play important roles. They don’t speak up. They are self-effacing, but they need help. “Think of the stresses on these families,” she continued. “Sometimes individuals must make the decision to go back home and leave children behind — a wrenching

decision, if you can imagine it. We should learn from history and make things better for these people. We should change things so it doesn’t have to be so difficult.” Ms. Juega recalled the origins of L A LDEF. “We wanted to tr y to change things,” she said. In the wake of increasing immigration law enforcement by the newly formed Department of Homeland Security in the aftermath of 9/11, Ms. Juega, who has lived in Princeton since 1986, teamed up with a group of Princeton residents to initiate the LALDEF in 2004. “We were seeing many heads of households being Continued on Next Page

picked up in the early morning hours and being deported. We were seeing families being deported. Children, U.S.-born citizens were left distraught and traumatized. That was our catalyst for coming into being.” The LALDEF started out with a skeleton staff in the basement of the Nassau Street Presbyterian Church. In 2008 they moved to Trenton, where in 2013 they opened their current headquarters, Welcome House/ Casa de Bienvenida Community Center, across from the St. Francis Medical Center on Chambers Street. The LALDEF has grown steadily over the past 12 years, and Ms. Juega noted, “We have g radually expanded our work, but unfortunately there are so many people who need our services, and we struggle to find the resources necessary.” She added that their language classes (ESL) serve 45 adult students every three weeks, with a long waiting list and lots of volunteers, but nowhere to accommodate them. “We’ve outgrown the space we’re in.” Continuing to be involved

“in a limited capacity,” Ms. Juega expressed optimism about the future of LALDEF under Ms. Abizadeh. “The organization needed younger, more energetic leadership,” she said. “Change is good, and new ideas need to be coming in. I’m confident that my successor will continue the important work of LALDEF. She has loads of energy and ideas and is very competent. I hope everybody will support her the way they have supported me. I have great expectations that she will do an excellent job to bring the organization to new levels.” Ms. Abizadeh, who took the helm of LALDEF last month, described her predecessor as “an amazing leader who has helped the organization to grow rapidly. I have big shoes to fill, but she’s been very helpful to me in the transition.” Reporting a significant level of fear among members of the immigrant community in Princeton and Trenton in the aftermath of the recent campaign and election, Ms. Abizadeh stated, “Our work is heightened at this point.” She noted that LALDEF’s priority is to continue providing the services they’re known for, to remain a safe

place for immigrants, and to step up their advocacy at the local state and national levels. She added that they would be working to provide positive legislation that would support a better environment for immigrants, and she stated that L A LDEF will soon be holding information sessions in Princeton and Trenton to make sure residents know their rights and are prepared for future challenges. —Donald Gilpin

experience in developing targeting programs, voter contact and GOTV programs, state and national redistricting efforts, fighting voter intimidation, ballot security, and vote suppression. Mr. O’Donnell noted that in the last four days of the campaign more than 700 people joined the PCDO efforts in Princeton, in surrounding areas and in eastern Pennsylvania. “We had many great volunteers,” he said. “It was very gratifying that our volunteers were so gung-ho.” In a thank-you email sent out to supporters last Friday, Mr. O’Donnell and PCDO co-worker Jenny Crumiller reflected on the group’s accomplishments. “It’s odd to say,” they wrote, “but despite an outcome that none of us wanted to believe was really possible, the office could not have been more of a success. We did everything we were asked to do and more.

Three Businesses Honored By Community Options

At its recent New Jersey Staff Appreciation dinner, Community Options recognized three local businesses that have played an integral role in their mission to provide employment support to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. University Medical Center Princeton at Plainsboro, DeLorenzo’s Pizza in Hamilton, and Walgreens of Haledon were honored. STEP is a job training/transition program for high school students and young adults with special needs, providing real world, hands-on training through an opportunity to explore a number of different career paths. University Medical Center Princeton at Plainsboro (UMCPP) has been a longtime partner for STEP in Mercer County. STEP participants are integrated into the hospitals volunteer program, and job samples are in nine different departments that are supported by a job coach. DeLorenzo’s Pizza is a job sampling site for Community Options’ STEP students. Walgreens, a partner since 2014, has provided the opportunity for one of COI’s supported employment individuals to participate in their REDI internship program. With the full support of Walgreens General Manager Richard Miles and his staff, this person successfully completed this internship and then applied for and was hired for a position in the store. With recent STEP program expansion into the northern part of the state, Mr. Miles has made his store available for participants to learn retail skills. COI now has one of these participants moving into the REDI program, which is a highly structured training and assessment program that Walgreens developed as a retail employees with disabilities initiative.

Question of the Week:

“How do you feel now that the election is over?” (Asked at the Spirit of Princeton Veteran’s Day ceremony) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)

“I would have preferred the other candidate to win. I felt she was more prepared to lead and tackle the pressing issues we face as a nation, including climate change and international affairs. However, I remain hopeful that our new presidentelect will be willing to work across the aisle and be willing to listen to advice from those more knowledgeable. I’m willing to look ahead to give him an opportunity to be a thoughtful, committed leader for all Americans.” —Paula Sollami Covello, Mercer County Clerk, Lawrenceville

“The election was a mixed bag for me. I was deeply honored to have been elected to Princeton Council. I’m eager to get started on the work of making our great town even better. I was deeply concerned by the election of Mr. Trump. I know many of my neighbors are very fearful for the future and I want them to know that our community stands with them and we will do everything in our power to see that we remain a welcoming, inclusive and diverse town.” —Tim Quinn, Councilman-elect, Princeton

“I’m feeling disappointed and excited at the same time. Hopefully, this country will come together as one because we’re true Americans and we’ve gone through harder challenges.” —Lance Liverman, Councilman, Princeton

“I’m still in a little bit of shock. We have to continue on, everyone has lives to lead. It’s quite remarkable and I’m in shock.” —Roger Williams, keynote speaker at ceremony, Lawrenceville

“I happen to be from the other side than most of the people around here. I’m hoping for a peaceful transition. It’s our turn and we didn’t riot when the Democrats won.” —Ken Enderle, Sgt. of Arms, Marine Corps League, Trenton

was arrested, you refused to acknowledge after an investigation that police followed procedures and were blameless.” Mr. Eisgruber countered that he has great regard for the Princeton police chief Nicholas Sutter. “I respect the way the chief runs his department and the way he carried out duties in the case, but I also respect the pain our professor went through and the reactions she had,” he said, adding that his comments at the time were inspired by sympathy for Ms. Perry, who is “genuinely beloved” by the students. Ms. Crumiller was not satisfied with his response. “You’re not really addressing my issue,” she said. “I don’t think you ever acknowledged after that that our police were following good procedures. You never acknowledged our efforts.” Councilwoman Heather Howard said that the town was considering body cameras for local police, but that it would cost about $200,000 to obtain them. Mr. Eisgruber was open to the idea of the University partnering in the effort. “I’m sure we

could get to a proposal we could support,” he said. Councilman Bernie Miller suggested that the University steer startup companies from its Entrepreneurship Hub to stay in Princeton once they graduate and make use of available real estate. The idea is “strongly consistent with the University’s mission,” Mr. Eisgruber said, adding he would like to explore the concept. Springdale The University has indicated in its master plan that the Springdale Golf Club’s course, which borders Alexander Street and Springdale Road and is owned by the school, is under consideration for possible development in the future. While nothing is planned for the site as yet, the club’s lease expires in 2036 and a provision would allow the University to bring it to a close a decade earlier. Several residents of the neighborhood, part of a standing-room-only crowd at the meeting, voiced concerns that development would change the character of the neighborhood and make the area dangerous for children. Lynn Durkee, who lives on Springdale Road, pointed out that development of

the golf course had originally been ruled out by the University last April. But more recently, the plan was changed. “From our neighborhood perspective, the communication has been minimal at best” she said. Consultants working on the plan have not talked to the residents of the neighborhood, and concerns need to be taken into account. “We would like you, the Council, to consider talking to neighbors before anything critical is decided,” she said, referring to the University’s intention to confirm phase three of the plan in December. Mr. Eisgruber emphasized that no plan is underway for development of the golf course “within a ten-year window.” But he acknowledged that it could very possibly happen in the future. The meetings between Council and Mr. Eisgruber have become an annual event since Mayor Liz Lempert initiated them three years ago. In his remarks at the beginning of the meeting, Mr. Eisgruber stressed that among his priorities are socio-economic diversity on the campus and in the town, entrepreneurship, and sustainability. —Anne Levin

A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY SERVICE: The Princeton Area Community Foundation recently honored Bill Wakefield with the 2016 Annual Leslie “Bud” Vivian Award for Community Service. Shown here with previous winners Anne Reeves (left) and Shirley Satterfield (right), Wakefield was recognized for his years of service advocating for immigrants, his involvement in the issue of mass incarceration, and as part of the Campaign to End the New Jim Crow. The award, presented at Nassau Presbyterian Church where Wakefield is an elder and a deacon, is made possible through the Vivian Memorial Fund, an endowed fund of the Princeton Area Community Foundation.

Maddy is the kind of person who is at the heart and soul of our organization.” Monheit joined NAMI Mercer in December 2004, bringing with her a powerful background of experience at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, as a senior writer and editor. She spent 15 years in the field of computer technology, planning and managing complex systems projects for the government and the private sector. Before that, she worked for seven years as a high school Spanish teacher and academic advisor in New York City.

She leads the Communications and Annual Wellness Conference Committees and serves on four other committees — Development, Programs/Services, Night Out with NAMI Annual Gala, and the annual NAMIWalk.

Monheit was instrumental in several important NAMI Mercer initiatives, including establishing the Fund for the Future and Harvest of Hope wellness conference and writing a series of 11 op-ed articles for the Times of Trenton in 2009. She has planned and edited every issue of the NAMI Mercer newsletter for the past 10 years. NAMI Mercer, based in Lawrenceville, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness through education, mutual support, and advocacy. It is an affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

In response to widespread post-election concerns, confusion and fear — both locally and globally — Princeton Public Schools (PPS) sent out a letter to families on Monday, ”affirming the values of our school district.” “W hile none of us yet know how the politics and policies of our country will change,” stated the missive from superintendent Steve Cochrane, board president Andrea Spalla, and board vice-president Patrick Sullivan, “we stand together to assure our students and our community that our beliefs and goals — grounded in the principles of our democracy — will remain constant for the Princeton Public Schools.” Ms. Spalla commented that, for her, impetus for the statement came both locally and nationally. “First, we know that many families in our schools have had fears and concerns about what political changes might mean for them and their children, for their safety, livelihood, and rights,” she said. “Second, since the election, there have been numerous credible news reports from around the country of incidents of harassment, vandalism, and bullying targeting racial and ethnic minorities, Muslims, and women. Many of these incidents are happening in schools and on college campuses.” She went on to note that the letter of affirmation to the community “felt necessary as a reassurance to our children, a response to these national events, and a restorative reminder to all of our expectations and standards, regardless of what happens around the country.” Princeton High School social studies teacher Jeff Lucker described several of his students “either crying or in shock” last Wednesday. “This is certainly a very challenging moment for teachers,” he said. Noting the level of fear felt by some, Mr. Lucker continued, “One student asked for reassurance the day before the election that Clinton would win lest he be deported. When I relayed this to a colleague who has him in class he told me that the student had said the same thing to him. When my colleague informed him that after all he is a naturalized citizen, the student’s reaction was

‘but I’m brown.’” The PPS statement asserted three beliefs of the District: inclusion — “bigotr y is not a democratic value;” civil discourse and respectful disagreement — “We want our students to be advocates for social justice;” and civic engagement — to help students “develop the knowledge and compassion to become positive leaders in society.” It further stated that, as a public school system, “we support the democratic process and the values and principles on which it is founded. As a school system we are committed to protecting the safety and rights of all our students regardless of their religion, race, citizenship, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ethnic or economic background. We also respect the political views of all students and of their families.” T he let ter went on to declare a commitment: to “protect our students” and “show that inappropriate comments or actions based on race, citizenship, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or political preference are not acceptable; to work with our community partners to provide students and their families with upto-date information about any new laws or regulations that may affect them; continue to create classrooms that are safe havens for students to ask questions and express differing viewpoints; continue to provide students with opportunities through literature and the arts to learn about and express understanding of different cultures and perspectives; continue our focus as educators on examining and enhancing our own cultural responsiveness” and ”most of all, continue to be a safe and nurturing stronghold where all students know there are compassionate adults who will do all they can to support them.” Mr. Lucker, in backing the affirmations of the superintendent and school board, pointed out, “It’s very important to be mindful that there are members of the community who are happy with the results of the election. In a mock election at the high school 17 percent of the students voted for Trump. As a teacher I see it as my role to foster a

safe climate in which various views can be expressed on all sides of the issue, as long as these expressions don’t violate the standards of the district on bullying and harassment, which I completely endorse.” —Donald Gilpin

Pr inceton Council and Mayor Liz Lempert issued a statement Tuesday on the recent presidential election. Developed by Council member Heather Howard, the statement expresses support for local residents worried about intolerance as a result of the victory of Donald Trump, and provides information on how to get help. “In the aftermath of one of the most divisive and fractious elections in our country’s history, it is important for us to come together as a town and recommit ourselves to the values of inclusion, diversity, and opportunity,” the declaration reads. “Much progress can happen at the local level, and we all have a role to play in continuing to shape our community as a place of welcome, and supporting our neighbors in need.” Refer r ing to t he postelection gathering held at Princeton Public Librar y last Thursday (see story on page one), it continues: “As Mayor and Council, we recognize that our community is stronger because of our diversity, not in spite of it, and we commit to supporting all our residents regardless of their race, religion, gender, gender identit y, sexual orientation, immigration status, disability, economic standing, or political

views.” At a meeting of Princeton Council Monday evening, Ms. Howard spoke about the importance of making the public aware that the governing body is addressing the issue. “In the aftermath of the election last week, there has been a lot of discussion among members of the community about what that election is going to mean for people in our town,” she said. “We know that there are still a lot of strong feelings in the community. I’ve heard about a lot of concern and fear among school children about what the impact of the election could be.” Mayors and elected bodies

across the country have issued statements reaffirming a commitment to inclusion and justice, she continued. And members of the community have been asking about how they can help. “So we want to be sending the word out not only about the values we stand for, but that there are ways for people to get more involved and work with the vulnerable populations in the town,” she said. The statement concludes, “If you have concerns, questions, or are looking for resources to help you, your family, or someone you know or want to help with these efforts to build a more inclusive community, you can contact the Princeton Human Services department at (609) 688-2055.“ The office is at 1 Monument Drive. —Anne Levin

Mailbox Lempert Thanks People of Princeton for Votes, Urges Residents to Participate in Government

To the Editor: I want to thank the people of Princeton for re-electing me as your mayor for a second term. And I especially want to thank my amazing campaign team, including Mildred Trotman, Dwaine Williamson, Roger Shatzkin, Wendy Kaczerski, Scotia MacRae, Helen Heintz, Doreen Blanc Rockstrom, and Peter Wolanin; and my running mates, Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller and Councilman-elect Tim Quinn. I also want to thank my opponent, Peter Marks, who ran a strong and civil campaign. Much of our attention since November 8 has been focused on the outcome of the presidential race, and I continue to hear from residents of their desire to more fully engage in our community through involvement in local government. I welcome your participation. We currently are soliciting applications for our volunteer boards and commissions. We need commissioners for the newly created Civil Rights Commission, and well as volunteers for a variety of boards ranging from zoning to social services. For an application and more information, go to: www.princetonnj.gov and click the blue box labeled “Volunteer Opportunities.” Please submit your application by Friday, December 2 in order to be considered for appointment in January. Princeton is fortunate to have a community with a wealth of expertise and talent, combined with a spirit of giving back. I look forward over the next four years to working with my colleagues on Council, our incredible municipal staff, and with all of you in the community to address the many challenges facing us, and to make Princeton an even greater place to live.

Of Town’s Many Helpful Organizations, HomeFront Stands Out From the Others

To the Editor: Our town of Princeton has many organizations, all of which are trying hard to be helpful in one way or the other. I know, because I try to reach out to as many as I can. There is one that stands out from all the others in my mind — HomeFront. These families need us desperately. Their children need to grow up in a home! There are so many people who have no homes who are right here in our own back yard. HomeFront helps. Let’s all be aware! BARBARA STRAuT Longtime Princeton Windrows resident

To the Editor; I congratulate Mayor Lempert on her re-election. She won decisively, and she did so with a campaign that was both decent and focused on issues. I am grateful to Dudley Sipprelle for giving me a voice, to the Princeton Republican Party for ensuring that my voice was heard, to the more than 3,000 voters who gave me their support, and to the many Democrats who supported me at the risk of political oblivion. It was a privilege to represent all of you. Princeton has some difficult choices to make. I continue to believe that our best hope of preserving our distinctive small town character is to stabilize our population, mitigate the worst of the state mandates, and get more control of our budgets and zoning.

FALL 2016 LECTURE SERIES

I would like to think that the not insignificant number of crossover votes I received will cause Mayor Lempert and her council to consider more seriously the policies that I have suggested — with the hoped for result that our town can be restored as the sustainably affordable, inclusive, and diverse community in which I grew up.

Bike Rider Thanks Princeton Motorists For Courtesy Shown at Intersections

To the Editor: Thanks for the courtesy, Princeton drivers! This past Saturday I rode my bike on my way to and from the Mayor’s Ride. (In case you didn’t know: Princeton’s cool Mayor Lempert, with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, hosts a bike ride every fall; you can enjoy some of Princeton’s parks at their most colorful, plus a cup of hot cider at Mountain Lakes House). On this Saturday, no fewer than four motorists, at four different intersections, stopped their cars for me as I waited to cross the road, and waved me across. They did this, even though none of the intersections had signs prompting drivers to give the right of way to those on foot or on bike. I want to thank these drivers, and all the drivers who have given me the same courtesy on other occasions. I can’t see your faces through the windshield, so I don’t know who you are. But I want you to know that it is immensely heartening to me that there are more and more of you who empathize enough with those on bike and on foot that you are willing to punctuate your trip with a short stop, to let us cross the road in front of you. You set a great example of kindness and courtesy, and I hope you inspire others to do the same. May your wheels, whether four or two, always roll smoothly. TINEKE THIO Dempsey Avenue

History of Esperanto Subject of Nov. 17 Talk

Poet and scholar Esther Schor will discuss her book Bridge of Words: Esperanto and the Dream of a Universal Language (Metropolitan $32) at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 17 at Labyrinth Books. According to Andrew Solomon, author of Far From the Tree, “Esther Schor’s lovely book describes how a tenacious group of people have dedicated themselves to an optimistic vision of harmony. It is a meditation not only on Esperanto, but on idealism itself, and it is written with resonant clarity, abiding kindness, and great compassion.” Says Jonathan Rosen, author of Joy Comes in the Morning: “Esther Schor has crossed continents, tunneled under the Tower of Babel, brooded over the 20th century’s darkest traumas and brightest dreams, and spoken endless Esperanto in an effort to understand how a language freighted with human tragedy still lives like a kiss on the lips of its speakers. This is a beautiful, mysteriously moving book by a fearless writer who set out to find the soul of a language, knowing full well that it was

her own soul she was after all along.” Esther Schor is the author of Emma Lazarus, which received a 2006 National Jewish Book Award, and the editor of the Cambridge Companion to Mary Shelley. Her essays and reviews have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, the Times Literary Supplement, and The For ward, among other publications. Her first collection of poems, The Hills of Holland, was a nominee for the Los Angeles Times Book Awards. She is professor of English at Princeton University. ———

Sales, Service, Collision Center, and More All Available at Team Toyota in Langhorne, Pa.

h e n it’s t i m e to think about a new car, the options today are almost limitless. Sedans, cross-overs, mini vans, SUVs, convertibles, pick-up trucks — and many styles, sizes, and models are all out there ready and waiting.

IT’S NEW To Us

What’s the best fit for your needs? A brand new vehicle, perhaps a previously-owned car, a lease? A major consideration, of course, is safety. Along with the high tech “bells and whistles” of today’s vehicles, a consistent record of safety counts most with many car owners. That’s why so many customers select Toyota, points out Douglas P. Scott, director of marketing for Team Toyota at 746 East Lincoln H ig hw ay i n L a ng hor n e, Pa. “Toyotas have a strong safety record, and they are known for their durability and design. We stay on the cutting edge with all the

technological advances today, while emphasizing service and quality. We always check out the technology by actually driving the car. “The Toyota engineering and safety record are superior. Engineering has always been important to the Japanese, and this creates tremendous reliability.” Cutting Edge In addition, continues Mr. Scott, Toyota has always been on the cutting edge. “Toyota had the first hybrid with Prius, and now we have the Hybrid Avalon and Hybrid Highlander SUV.” Mr. Scott, who has been with Toyota for two and a half years, grew up in the automobile industry. His family has been in the business since 1920, starting with a Plymouth-Dodge dealership. “We later became an Oldsmobile dealer in 1951, and eventually added Saab, Pontiac, and Nissan,” reports Mr. Scott. “My father has been in the car business since the late 1960s, and runs Scott Chevrolet, Mazda, Volvo, Cadillac in the Lehigh Valley. My cousin Duke Scott

runs Scott Honda in West Chester, Pa.” Team Toyota, with other locations in Lawrenceville and Glenville, Pa, is owned by Paul Muller. “The Mullers are very fine people, and they set the tone for the company,” notes Mr. Scott. The Langhorne dealership opened in 1989, and sales, the service and collision center, leases, and rentals are all available. Team Toyota in Langhorne is a very large enterprise, including hundreds of cars on site, a spacious modern showroom, and a very large service and collision center. New cars are the most popular purchases, Mr Scott points out, but previouslyowned vehicles and leases are also in demand. “Our used cars are really basically made new again. They are certified with a 160-point inspection and very good warranties. People typically like to get one with 40,000 or less miles,” points out Mr. Scott, “and we have many choices for them to look over.”

Philologists as Rogues? by Benjamin Elman

Friday, November 18 4:30 p.m. West Lecture Hall Institute for Advanced Study

In this public lecture, Benjamin Elman, Gordon Wu ‘58 Professor of Chinese Studies at Princeton University, will discuss a long lost sub-commentary of Confucius’s Analects recovered in Early Modern Japan and its transmission back to Imperial China. This public lecture is made possible by the Dr. S.T. Lee Fund for Historical Studies. Registration required: www.ias.edu/events/st-lee-public-lecture

Traveling Salesman Increasing numbers of customers want leased cars now, he adds. “Leases are fine for most people. The only time it’s not recommended is if you drive more than 12,000 miles a year. It’s not the best idea for a traveling salesman! “Also, we take any tradeins, including all vehicles. We have so many cars that other dealers will come to buy our left-overs.” Among the most popular Toyotas are the Camry, Corolla, and the RAV 4 small SU V, repor ts Mr. Scot t. “People like the small SUV crossover. They like the 4-wheel drive, and the ability to sit higher so they can see better. Mini vans are also favorites, and our Tacoma pick-up truck is a big seller too.” White, silver, and black are currently the most popular colors. Of course, the high tech “bells and whistles,” including new safety features, are favorites of many customers. “The latest technology with the new cars includes blind spot alerts for drivers,” explains Mr. Scott. “A little orange light comes on, alerting the driver that a car is in the blind spot. There are also sensors enabling the car to brake automatically if the driver is going too fast and getting too close to another car. “In addition, if the car is veering out of its proper lane, automatic vibration will alert the driver. The back-up camera, allowing increased visibility when backing up is a very helpful device. There is also new technology with cameras giving a 360-degree view. Special phone at tach ments are another popular feature, particularly with younger drivers.” Special Rebates Consumers today are very knowledgeable, he points out. “There is so much information at their fingertips. Everything is transparent now. It’s easier, much easier, to get a good deal now. We offer a lot of options for our customers, including special rebates for those serving in the military and veterans. Also for local police, firefighters, EMTs and first responders. We make a donation to the police survivor’s fund. We are very involved in the community. “There are always great deals for all our customers,” he adds. “We’re trying to encourage current Toyota

SAFE AND RELIABLE: “Toyotas are safe and very reliable. People know they can count on them. Durability, safety, design, and new technology are all factors in their continuing popularity.” Douglas P.

or many people, a Persian rug is a very special addition to their home. It epitomizes tradition, quality, and beauty. The Princeton Rug Gallery, which opened at 830 State Road last February, offers an outstanding selection of Persian rugs in many sizes, styles, color blends, and patterns.

IT’S NEW To Us

Owned by Jalil Fatollahi and Maryam Mohammadi, it features rugs from Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, India, Egypt, Nepal, China, Russia, and Afghanistan. All the rugs are handmade and hand-knotted, and made of wool, silk, or a blend of wool and silk. The term in general usage for these hand-woven rugs is ”Oriental”. Mr. Fatollahi and Ms. Mohammadi, who are married, are both originally from Iran, and have a long history in the rug business. New Opportunities “My family was in the fabr ic business for 10 0 years, and I grew up in it and learned about it from the time I was 12,” says Mr. Fatollahi. “Eventually, my uncle changed the focus to rugs, and I always wanted to be in the business.” He was also always interested in new opportunities, and after many years in the family business, he and his wife and daughter moved to Germany in 1979, where he opened his own firm. Ms. Mohammadi attended a university there, studying interior and fashion design. Fluent in several languages, including Farsi, Arabic, German, and English, Ms. Mohammadi and Mr. Fatollahi were readily able to adapt to new places and new cultures. They moved again in 1991, this time to Canada, where Mr. Fatollahi worked for one of the largest carpet companies in the country. He later opened his own store in Toronto, focusing on handmade Oriental carpets. Then, in 1995, he took advantage of an opportunity to come to the U.S. “A friend had a very successful carpet business in Morristown, and he asked me to join him,” recalls Mr. Fatollahi. “It was a $28 million business.” After several years of collaboration with the Morristown firm, Mr. Fatollahi decided to open his own business in Princeton. “I had always liked Princeton

and the area, and first, I started working as a freelancer. Having my own business was always important to me, and it’s always been a matter of emphasizing my standards and offering quality to clients. “Early in my career, my uncle told me if I wanted to have a business, there are three things I must remember. One, honesty. Two, the best service, and three, establishing good credit with people. It’s very important to have a good reputation in business dealings.” Vintage and New Rugs Mr. Fatollahi. and Ms. Mohammadi believed Princeton would be an excellent match for their r ugs, and they opened the store last February. “This is just the right location for us. We have been very encouraged with the response. Lots of customers and excellent word-ofmouth, with people telling their friends. Also, we have wonderful neighbors here, who have been so welcoming. Lucy’s Ravioli, the Tile Gallery, Dan Smit’s hair salon, among them. They’re all wonderful businesses. We feel it’s like a community feeling. And, also, it is very easy parking here.” Princeton Rug Gallery offers an outstanding selection of vintage and new Oriental rugs, as well as restoration, repair, hand-washing, and appraisals. In addition, complimentary pick-up and delivery are available, and the firm also accepts rugs on consignment. All sizes of rugs, from small two by three feet to more than 30 feet are offered, with several prominently displayed on the wall. All the rugs, including old and new, are popular with customers, reports Ms. Mohammadi. “People like a blend of colors, and they appreciate the unique tradition these rugs represent.” Clients are from all over the area, including Princeton, L aw rencev ille, and Hopewell, as well as farther afield. “These rugs can provide so much joy,” says Anita Pacheco from Morris County. “They are also incredibly durable. I’ve had mine for 20 years. Maryam told me, when decorating, start with the rug, and then build around it. “A lso, the qualit y and tradition are so important. When you turn the rugs over and see each one individually knotted, you can imagine the work that goes into it.” Ms Mohammadi especially admires the beauty of the rugs. “All are handmade, none are machine-made,” she points out. “My family were artists — painters, musicians, and I went into design. I have worked as a design consultant in Morristown and Princeton, and I enjoy sharing the beauty of these rugs with everyone. Good Quality “I want to emphasize that our rugs are unique. The antique rugs, even those 100 years old, are of such good quality, they actually blossom with age! Another thing, the rugs are easy to maintain. When you vacuum, just go with the nap. And cleaning depends on the use the rug gets. We will hand-wash them when

it is time, and we will pick up and deliver.” Hu ndre ds of r ugs are on display in the spacious and bright showroom, with many more available in the Secaucus warehouse. Prices depend on the size and quality, and Mr. Fatollahi and Ms. Mohammadi point out that they always try to work within the client’s budget. “I am proud to continue our family tradition,” says Mr. Fatollahi. “We want everyone to come and see our store and our wonderful rugs. People in Princeton appreciate these carpets and are knowledgeable. Some of the clients even know more than we do!” On the other hand, adds Ms. Mohammadi, “Some-

times, people are new to Persian rugs, and come in to learn about them. It is our pleasure to introduce new customers to the history and beauty of these rugs.

“SUNFLOWER GLASS”: Karen and Geoff Caldwell of Sunflower Glass Studio, located outside of Stockton, are working on many new ideas with their fused and stained glass for the Covered Bridge Artisans Studio Tour and Sale. Karen continues to develop her fused dimensional botanical panels, adding many species of fish into her work. Her newest art form is creating Birch Tree groves in fused glass. Geoff is exploring his handpainting images that go into their collaboration of the ‘Patchwork’ Series windows. He also delights in making stained and beveled glass border treatments that compliment and finish Karen’s fused glass.

11, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The reception will include a reading by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon and a performance by his band, Rogue Oliphant, which includes Chris Harford and Ray Kubian. Special guest musicians from The Pennington School’s Batteries Not Included will join the band for a few selections from Rogue Oliphant’s new CD “I Gave the Pope a Rhino.” The program begins at 7:30 p.m. Harford is a self-taught painter whose style has been characterized as outsider art, abstract expressionist, and naïve art. He believes that many functional objects that have lost their original purpose can be transformed rather than tossed, and he paints on everything from discarded household items found on roadsides and sidewalks to wood from fallen trees. Working primarily with acrylics and oil, he uses collages to integrate cultural references into his pieces. Some pieces are responses to world events, while others are meditations on solitude, music, and families. For the past 30 years, Harford has incorporated postage stamps into his paintings from a collection amassed throughout his childhood. Some of the stamps date as far back as 1700 and are from countries that no longer exist. His work commemorates these images and icons from art, history, religion, and commerce, transforming them into the feathers of a bird, the bricks in a building, or the leaves in a tree. The pottery pieces are a collaboration with ceramic artist Debbie Reichard. For this show, he worked almost entirely with repurposed materials, including large 5x6 foot canvases that were thrown out by a local university. Many of the materials had already been painted on, but Harford incorporated that work into his own. He also painted tabletops and wooden boxes found in the trash, and on wood salvaged from an old barn. Harford was born in Princeton, and has a bachelor’s degree in performance art from the Massachusetts College of Art. He has worked as a musician and singer/songwriter for the past 35 years, and his artwork was first displayed at the gallery of the rock club CBGBs in 1990. Since then, he has exhibited at the Gerald Peters Gallery in New York City and Mercer County Community College. The Pennington School is an independent coeducational school for students in grades 6 through 12, in both day and boarding programs. The curriculum is college preparatory, with an emphasis on individual excellence, fostering the development of the whole student through academics, athletics, community service, and the creative and performing arts.

RECORD REVIEW

Highs and Lows from Washington to Kosovo: The World According to PJ Harvey “What will become of us?” —PJ Harvey n PJ Harvey’s The Hope Six Demolition Project, the music lifts you up even as the words bring you down. To paraphrase Michelle Obama, when the lyrics “go low, the music goes high.” During the weeks leading up to the election, I was listening day in day out to Hope Six without fully registering the words. In the election aftermath, Harvey’s dark vision of devastated war zones and the mean streets of Washington D.C. makes timely sense. “The Community of Hope” begins in Ward Seven of “drug town,” where Benning Road is “a well-known pathway to death,” South Capitol “the highway to death and destruction,” and the “old mental institution” is the Homeland Security base. In “River Anacostia,” the body of water in question flows “with poisons from the naval yard,” and the refrain, now all too pertinent, is “What will become of us?” In “Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln,” a doorway “opens up to the underworld” when a black man hauls trash to a metal hatch. Harvey’s glancing impressions scatter like shrapnel blown by the music, a dense, driving, complex mix of saxophones, keyboards, guitars, primal percussion, and over it all the Emily Brontë of Alternative Rock’s haunting soprano. The Singing Reporter The album takes its name from Hope VI, a federal program intended to “revitalize some of the U.S.’s most troubled public housing projects.” In a BBC interview Harvey stresses the documentary aspect of a task undertaken with photojournalist Seamus Murphy. They began in Kosovo and Kabul and finished in Washington D.C. because, as Harvey puts it, that was “the right place to go to tie up the ends: it was where the decisions that affected the faraway places were made …. We ended up spending most of our time in Anacostia, which is south of the river, a very poor part, a rundown neighborhood. I talked to a lot of the people there. I just collected notes as a journalist might. I gather information for songs; my biggest drive is to want to sing to people; that’s the way I get across the things that interest me and concern me.” The Brontë Connection One reason I’m thinking of Emily Brontë is that my first listenings to Hope Six coincided with a rereading of Wuthering Heights. More than that, it’s because Harvey’s vocal hovers like an eerie act of nature above the subtly incantatory “River Anacostia” as the poet takes over from singing reporter poetry with lines like “A small red sun makes way for night, trails away like a tail

light.” I wish the real-life residents of Anacostia who find Harvey’s depiction of their down-and-out neighborhood unfair could hear the rapture in her voice when she sings “Oh my Anacostia, do not sigh, do not weep” as if she were mourning the broken heart of her homeland. I’m not the first to read Wuthering Heights into PJ Harvey. A November 2000 review in Vanity Fair dubbing her “the Emily Brontë of rock’n’roll” found her music similarly “foreboding, intricately designed, and, at times, just a little out of control.” It was also noted that Polly Jean, like Emily, “grew up in the English countryside — in a hamlet just outside of Yeovil.” You know where Harvey’s roots are when she walks through the National Mall in “Medicinals” thinking how it was once a marshland where sumac, witch hazel, sassafras, and blue stem grass grew, “to

never-failing love” for England, or what she referred to at the time as “the push and pull you feel with your native land.” Half a decade ago she had a more binding vision, more a mission than a self-imposed assignment. She viewed herself as “a war songwriter” presenting a war-themed merging of music and imagery, though even then she was implicating the U.S. in the “Oh England/Oh Amerika” chorus of “This Glorious Land.” Working the Wheel Harvey comes to Kosovo and Kabul as a compassionate outsider who hears “the children’s cries from the dark” and sees “the ghost of a girl who runs and hides.” Set in Afghanistan, “The Ministry of Defence” is introduced by a bludgeoning Beethoven’s-Fifth-level statement portending the song’s last words, “This is how the world will end.” What she’s seen in a land where “the stairs and walls are all that’s

Wheel,” Harvey tells noisey.vice.com, “When I’m writing a song I visualize the entire scene. I can see the colors, I can tell the time of day, I can sense the mood, I can see the light changing, the shadows moving, everything in that picture. Gathering information from secondary sources felt too far removed for what I was trying to write about. I wanted to smell the air, feel the soil, and meet the people of the countries I was fascinated with.” Upbeat, Alarming, Infectious he Wheel” is about disappearing children and a playground ride revolving on chains from which Harvey imagines “four little children flying out.” As in “Line in the Sand,” the music takes on a darkly playful sing-song quality as she chants “now you see them, now you don’t” before the repeated call and response: “hey little children don’t disappear”/”I heard it was 28,000.” As with everything on Hope Six, the music is at once upbeat and alarming, and ultimately infectious, which is to say, again, its lows take you high, it carries you, lifts you, makes you want to sing along, join in, however grim the subject matter, even if it’s “a tableau of the missing tied to a government building, thousands of sunbleached photographs, fading with the roses.” And then the closing incantation, “and watch them fade out … fade out … fade out … fade out ….” PJ Harvey’s music knows where we are in these “times that try men’s souls.” —Stuart Mitchner

“T

soothe our pain, our sores, our troubles.” After the dark undercurrent created by heavy reed-driven backing, the saxes subside for the quietus of a closing coda about a woman in a wheelchair. Singing with a compassion that offsets the political irony, Harvey zooms in on the woman’s Washington Redskins hat worn backwards as she sips “from a bottle a new painkiller for the native people.” While some reviewers have faulted Harvey for resorting to simplistic PC gestures in her lyrics, they discount the passion and power in her singing, qualities I heard for the first time in her previous album Let England Shake, which I reviewed here in January 2012. Her Native Land Asked at the time what inspired Let England Shake, Harvey said, “The world we live in.” If anything limits the new album, it’s the fact that she’s taking on the world from a safer distance. For all her imagination and musicianship, she’s still working from a series of observations and impressions. The true greatness of Let England Shake comes out of her visceral “undaunted,

left” and “the bad overwhelms the good” has changed how she regards humankind. Apart from the music, the lyrics of “Line in the Sand,” describe a refugee camp where people kill each other to get first pick of the airdropped supplies. Speaking as if she were an aid worker (“We set up tents, brought in water”), she admits that “by now we should have learned.” The words of the chorus refer to seven or eight thousand killed by hand who “stepped off the edge.” Musically, however, it could almost be a tune sung by kids on a playground. The songs from Kosovo may be the album’s most fully formed and thought-out. “Chain of Keys” moves with ponderous power, driven by multiple keyboards, percussionists, and two baritone saxophones, its subject an old woman who seems to have stepped off a Tarot card. “Imagine what her eyes have seen,” Harvey sings. The woman has the keys but she keeps her hands behind her back, “she won’t let us in,” and her neighbors won’t be coming home (“Fifteen gardens overgrown, fifteen houses falling down”). Describing the conception of “The

Afternoons at Princeton Abbey Music Concerts

As part of their ‘Afternoons at the Abbey’ program, Princeton Abbey is pleased to invite the public to a free afternoon concert by Spectra Musica on Saturday, November 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. The program will present a sampling of European music spanning approximately 150 years, highlighting the transition in culture from the Renaissance to early Baroque era. The quartet will play historical instruments, including a replica of a harpsichord from the 1550’s. “We are pleased to host Spectra Musica as part of our ‘Afternoons at the Abbey’ program,” says Katherine Walden, manager of The Princeton Abbey and Cemetery. “The Abbey is a perfect venue for music, the acoustics are wonderful.” “This was a time of great change and innovation in musical styles,” adds Orum Stringer, director of both Spectra Musica and the Gloria Consort music ensembles. Both groups are members of the Guild for Early Music, whose mission is to promote music of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Early American eras. Stringer continues, “For this concert, we will play pieces that demonstrate the evolution in style from music composed primarily for dancing to musical compositions that were created as stand-alone pieces to be enjoyed on their own. Our goal is to illustrate how the Baroque style spread across Europe and included conservative, traditional Scottish pieces as well as the fiery, more avant garde Rossi Sonata.” Spectra Musica was formed in 1980 as an ensemble dedicated to the performance of early European music. They produce programs of music from about 1400 to 1650 A.D. The ensemble specializes in music for wind instruments. Late medieval and renaissance music is performed with cornemuse, kortholts, recorders, flute, rackett, dulcian, and viola da gamba, with a small Italian harpsichord as continuo. They perform extensively throughout the

CINEMA REVIEW

Hanks and Howard Collaborate in Dan Brown’s Bestseller

jargon. In this film, the intellectual badinage has been minimized, thereby leaving room for a series of visually captivating action sequences. Another plus is the easy to follow plotline. The point of departure is in a hospital in Florence, Italy where Langdon is suffering from amnesia. He is lucky to be alive because the bullet that brought on the amnesia only grazed his scalp. However, an assassin (Ana Ularu) soon arrives to finish the job. Fortunately, Langdon’s doctor, Sienna Brooks (Jones), not only helps him escape the assassin, but she also abandons her medical practice in order to help her traumatized patient escape from his enemies. Of course the hit woman was part of a much larger conspiracy. She was following the orders of Bertrand Zobrist (Foster), an evil billionaire who is about to unleash a diabolical solution to the world’s overpopulation problem. The madman plans to release a lethal virus that is designed to kill half the people on the planet in less than a week. That sets off Langdon and Sienna’s dizzying race against time to foil the diabolical Zobrist’s scheme. That, in a nutshell is the essence of Inferno, except for a humdinger of a twist that is unfair to spoil. This movie is easily the most accessible, engaging, and entertaining cinematic adaptation of a Dan Brown thriller to date. Ve r y G o o d ( HHH ) . Rated PG-13 for action, violence, profanity, disturbing images, mature themes, and brief sensuality. In English, French, and Italian with subtitles. THAT WAS A REALLY CLOSE CALL: Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks, left) is being helped by his doc- Running time: 126 mintor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) to elude an assassin who is trying to kill him.

an Brown is the author of four bestselling mysteries that feature Harvard Professor Robert Langdon as the protagonist. The popular novels have sold over 100 million copies, and the fifth one is scheduled to be released in the fall of 2017. Screen versions of the first two Robert Langdon books, The Da Vinci Code (2006) and Angels & Demons (2009), earned over a billion dollars at the box office. So, it’s no surprise that an adaptation of another novel has been made. Inferno reunites director Ron Howard with Tom Hanks. Hanks reprises his lead role as the genius who has an uncanny knack for deciphering ancient symbols and religious iconography. Howard chose a stellar support cast that includes Ben Foster, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan, and Omar Sy. Inferno is easily the most successful of the three movies, because it eliminates Langdon’s use of inscrutable

Fueled by Team Chemistry, Opportunistic Play, PU Field Hockey Makes Stunning Run to Final 4

hen the Princeton University field hockey team lost to Harvard and Cornell on consecutive weekends in late October, its hopes for a 12th straight Ivy League title were dashed. Although the players were deeply disappointed, Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente felt a weight coming off their shoulders. “You kind of felt like it flushed the system; it was very emotional and everyone got everything out,” said Tagliente. “Then at that point, there is nothing to lose. It was coming up on the weekend and we knew we had a glimmer of a chance to get in the NCAA. For those two weeks, I think all of our thoughts were on outcomes which hadn’t been the case for most of the season and then after Cornell, they just shifted to just play for what we have got right now and just enjoy the last game.” After rolling to a 6-1 win over Penn in the regular season finale, Princeton got a second life as it earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The Tigers were sent to University Park, Pa. to play fourth-seeded Penn State (17-2) on November 12 in an opening round contest with the winner advancing to quarters the next day at the same site against the victor of the North CarolinaConnecticut semifinal. “It was an incredible moment; it was very exciting and over the top euphoria for a lot of them,” said Tagliente, recalling the scene after the NCAA selection show. “I think they just appreciate the opportunity to play one more day together.” Taking full advantage of that opportunity, Princeton won 2-1 over Penn State in the opening round and then edged Virginia 3-2 a day later in the NCAA quarter finals on a last second goal by Sophia Tornetta. As a result, Princeton, now 12-7, earned a trip to the Final 4 in Norfolk, Va. where it will face Delaware in the national semis with the winner advancing to the championship game the next day. It is the program’s first appearance in the Final 4

Having lost 4-2 to Penn State in regular season action, Princeton hit the field relaxed last Saturday, feeling that the pressure was on the Nittany Lions. “They had come off a big 10 championship and had all the expectations,” said Tagliente. “They had an incredible amount of weight on their shoulders; they are hosting. Our kids are just happy to be there. We had them in the mindset that we needed them to be in.” Noting that Princeton had played well in the prior meeting between the teams on October 2 but was tired out from playing at Yale the day before, Tagliente focused on getting the Tigers to tighten things up defensively in the rematch. “They are a very, very good team, the big thing we focused on was our pressing,” said Tagliente who got goals from Ryan McCarthy and Cat Caro in the win. “It was some of the best pressing we have had, not just from the front line but collectively and we just gave them a lot of trouble from the get go.” A day later, Princeton got a chance to avenge another defeat as it faced Virginia in the quarters, nearly two months after falling 2-0 to the Cavaliers. “The first game we outshot them and outcornered them; we should have won that game 4-2 and then this game they outshot us but we were highly efficient on our attack end,” said Tagliente. “Going into the game we thought we could generate more attack. A big conversation point for us was locking down on Nadine de Koning and Lucy Hyams, they are two players who really generate a lot for them and they hurt us quite a bit the first time. It was also just getting better quality shots in the attack end. We didn’t have the quantity we wanted but credit these guys, they finished all of their opportunities.” Tornetta’s last second game-winning tally will go down as one of the team’s better moments this year. “Her goal should be on SportsCenter highlights, it is an incredible goal,” said Tagliente, who also got goals from Hailey Reeves and Caro in the win. “I am happy for her because she has had a rough go of it this year with injuries. I don’t think she has had a moment this year where she feels 100 percent from the beginning. She is still working back. In the past week, her training has been great. What she does defensively in the front line, tackling back, is great. She made some clutch tackles in the defensive 25 but that goal for her is something she is

never going to forget.” Freshman goalie Grace Baylis and senior star Caro, the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, gave the Tigers some great work in both wins. “Grace had a fantastic weekend, she got dinged twice against UVa but she had some big saves against Virginia and Penn State as well,” said Tagliente of Baylis who had five saves against Virginia and six stops in the win over Penn State. “She has taken her game to a whole other level right now. Cat is like her name, she has got nine lives. She had a good weekend and at times she was fantastic.” Seeing the Tigers stay alive in their unlikely run to the Final 4 has been a fantastic experience for the program. “It is a little bit out of nowhere; it is incredible,” said Tagliente. “I am just happy for them to have the opportunity. Every team you coach, every program you are affiliated with, you want the best for them. This group is special. I have said it from the beginning, I can’t put my finger on it, but in 14 years I have never had a group that has this team chemistry and group dynamic. For sports people who want Xs and Os, that doesn’t mean much. I can tell you what it means, it is an intangible that you can’t measure. I would take

the chemistry we have over five more star players on our team.” For Tagliente, who took the helm of the Tigers this June after five years as the head coach at the University of Massachusetts and a stellar playing career at the University of Maryland, Princeton’s success this fall has a special meaning. “As gracious as they have been and appreciative of us coming in, they have helped this transition go along,” said Tagliente. “Obviously, I am proud of them but I am also grateful and thankful to them for this opportunity. For me as a coach, it is my first Final 4. As a player I have been to a few. I think it is different as coach, you don’t control as much as you want to control. You trust them to do it. I think watching them go through this process, watching this experience through their eyes, it is just incredible.” Tagliente knows that the Tigers face an incredible challenge against Delaware, now 21-2, even though the Tigers beat the Blue Hens 4-2 on September 11. “They are very, very good; I think the record reflects it and their body of work, who they have beaten, and where they are at,” said Tagliente. “We need to continue to play really solid defense. Delaware is another team with a really strong attack and we have to limit their corners. Offensively we have been generating some

Princeton Football Rolls to 31-3 Victory at Yale, Hosting Dartmouth With Chance to Win Ivy Title About 12 hours prior to its game at Yale last Saturday, the Princeton Universit y football team got a major boost in its quest for an Ivy League title. O n Fr id ay e ve n i ng i n Philadelphia, Penn defeated Harvard, handing the Crimson its first loss in league play this season. As a result, the Quakers, Harvard,

and Princeton were even in the loss column with one in the three-team fight for the crown. W h i le P r i n ce ton h e ad coach Bob Surace knew that his players would be aware of the good news from Franklin Field, he warned them to take Yale seriously. “I said when you wake up in the morning, no matter

DESIRE TO SUCCEED: Princeton University defensive lineman Ty Desire is wreaking havoc in recent action. Last Saturday, junior defensive end Desire made two tackles as Princeton rolled to a 31-3 win at Yale. The Tigers, now 7-2 overall and 5-1 Ivy League, host Dartmouth (4-5 overall, 1-5 Ivy) on November 19 in its finale. Princeton will be playing for the Ivy title as it is currently locked in a three-way tie for first place in the league standings with Harvard (7-2 overall, 5-1 Ivy) and Penn (6-3 overall, 5-1 Ivy).

what happened, our focus is on Yale,” said Surace. “It is 9 at night and you guys might have been huddled in a room having a good time and had that game on but when it is 8 in the morning we have to flip a switch and we have got to be in the proper mindset to play Yale. They are young but they are mature guys and I think they understood the magnitude it is to play against Yale.” Princeton didn’t waste any time showing its focus, putting together a scoring drive of 82 yards in six plays on its opening possession, taking a 7-0 lead after a 46-yard touchdown jaunt by senior running back A.J. Glass. “It was terrific to go down the field right away,” said Surace. “That was a really good way to start it off.” In the second quar ter, the Princeton defense took charge and the Tigers capitalized with 10 unanswered points to take a 17-3 lead at halftime. “Our defense really started playing well; we got some good field positions and some opportunities,” said Surace. The Tigers cruised from there, rolling to a 31-3 win, improving to 7-2 overall and 5-1 Ivy. Heading into the final week of the season, Princeton is locked in a three-way tie for first place in the Ivy standings with Harvard (7-2 overall, 5-1 Ivy) and Penn (6-3 overall, 5-1 Ivy). Surace t ipped h is hat

to the Princeton defense, which has been suffocating opponents in the last seven games, yielding just 70 points in that span after giving up 73 points in its first two games. “I think they were 3-for-17 on third down with a number of sacks and pressures,” said Surace, whose defensive unit forced five sacks and a recovered fumble and limited Yale to 36 yards rushing. “It wasn’t just the sacks, t here were ot her t i m e s where we hurried the throw. That was really instrumental to getting us some good positions.” As good as the Princeton defense has played recently, Surace sees room for improvement. “I watched the film, there are plays in there that we are not happy about, somebody is out of gap or didn’t play their responsibility,” noted Surace of the defense which has allowed a total of just 10 points in the last three games. “When we played Lafayette and Lehigh, there were 75 snaps and there were 25 of those plays. We are getting that number down to single digits, we have got to keep that number low. These offenses are good, they put you on an island on a lot of these plays. You are not going to play perfect but you have to strive for that.” While the Princeton offense was far from perfect in the w in over Yale, it showed good balance, with 157 yards rushing and 175 yards passing. Junior quarterback John Lovett ran for three touchdowns, to move him within one of Keith Elias’s single -season re cord of 19. Glass rushed for 64 yards with sophomore

Charlie Volker gaining 53. Senior quarterback Chad Kanoff passed for 128 yards with Lovett throwing for 47 yards. Sophomore receiver Jesper Horsted had a career game with six catches for 95 yards. “We wanted to be balanced in a lot of ways,” said Surace. “When you look at Charlie Volker, A.J., and then Ryan Quigley comes in and John Lovett did an exceptional job on all of those short yardage goal line runs. In the pass game, Jesper obviously stood out but there are a number of guys who had some key catches through there. Scott Carpenter had a huge first down that was really important.” Ending the season by hosting Dartmouth this Saturday with a chance to win its first Ivy title since earning a share of the crown along with Harvard in 2013 is a huge deal for Princeton. “That is the excitement, you go through this journey, you work as coaches and a support staff but especially the players, who work so hard,” said Surace. “Nobody sees them at 6 a.m. on a Wednesday morning in the summer working out with Jason Gallucci ; nobody else in the world is even up. Everybody sees what happens on Saturdays. You work to get to this opportunity. I remember Gary Walters told me when I got hired that you have to under-

stand how hard it is to win one of these things. That has always stuck in my memory. It is a lot of hard work and a lot of people are part of our team, not just coaches or players.” While Dartmouth, which tied for the Ivy crown in 2015 along with Harvard and Penn, hasn’t produced a banner season this fall, going 4-5 overall and 1-5 Ivy, Surace knows the Big Green are a dangerous foe. “This is a team that beat the University of New Hampshire (UNH ) and Towson; they have the two best nonleague wins in our league this year,” said Surace. “They have lost some close games in conference and they have won some tough games out of conference. If you have beaten UNH, who is going to the playoffs again this year, you are a good team.” Over the years, Dartmouth has been a thorn in Princeton’s side and it is the only Ivy team that Surace hasn’t posted a win against in his seven seasons at the helm of the program. “Since 2010 they have been finding ways to win and outfighting us,” said Surace. “I need to figure out a way; this is going to be a dogfight. You have to find a way to make enough plays and then we can celebrate.” —Bill Alden

Last November, the University of Iowa wrestling team hosted Ok lahoma State at its football stadium in the “Grapple on the Gridiron,” making history as the teams drew a crowd of 42,287, the largest ever for a college dual match. Inspired by that event, t h e Ru tg e r s Un i ve r s it y wrestling program invited Princeton to grapple at its football stadium this fall and the Tigers quickly accepted, setting the stage for the “Battle at the Birthplace” on Saturday at High Point Solutions Stadium. Pr inceton head coach Chris Ayres sees the event as a showcase for New Jersey wrestling. “If you put a good product out there, people will show up regardless of what it is,” said Ayres, noting that 12,000 tickets have already been sold and that a crowd of more than 20,000 is expected. “T his is a hotbed for wrestling, some of the best wrestlers in the country come from New Jersey. It is a wrestling state, so when we were pushing this — it wasn’t about our guys, it wasn’t about Princeton, it was about showing what we can do.” With a core of veteran stars retuning from a team that went 8-8 overall last year and finished second to Cornell in the Ivy League title race and a stellar freshman class coming in, Ayres believes Princeton can do some big things this winter. “Up and down the lineup, we are very balanced and then behind the starters too, we have some pretty darn good guys,” said Ayres, a former Lehigh wrestling star who is in his 10th season at the helm of the Tiger program. “Our numbers aren’t huge but it is a lot of quality so I feel good about it.” A trio of seniors, Brett Harner, (197 pounds) Jordan Laster (149), and Ray O’D o n n e l l ( 285 ) , h ave made a huge impact for the Tigers. “That senior class has done the most to transform the program,” said Ayres. “From a wrestler’s standpoint, Brett Harner is probably the best leader I have ever had, Lehigh included, and then you have Jordan and Ray, who are just great leaders. Those guys came in as freshmen, they were just different. They were going to do it the way they thought it should be done. T hey were mat ure a nd they were great competitors. What they have done to transform the program is quite incredible. I feel so fortunate that we were lucky enough to get those guys here because it was a

game changer for sure.” Princeton boasts another game changer in junior star Jonathan Schleifer at 174. “He is amazing, I would say he is our best workhorse,” said Ayres of Schleifer. “He just comes in and goes as hard as he can in everything he does to the highest level. He is really good; he has beaten some really good guys. He could literally win the NCAA tournament this year. He just has to put things together; he has to just keep growing throughout the year.” The program’s freshman group is really good, headlined by Matthew Kolodzik, Ty Agaisse, and Kevin Parker. “I look at the seniors now and how amazing they were as freshmen but I feel like this whole group is at another level,” said Ayres. Matthew is the first top 10 overall kid we’ve ever got recruiting wise. You never know, some kids that are top 10 recruits don’t pan out. He is going to pan out big time. He deferred eligibility and he had an amazing year off from school. He made a University world team, which is pretty damn good. Ty Agaisse is one of the best kids we have had training wise; he is being pushed by Matteo DeVincenzo. Kevin Parker is really good. You just go up and down the line. I think it is overall quality and the way they are working, it is the best class we have ever had.” The Tigers got the season off to a good start earlier this month as fourthranked Harner looked solid in a 7-4 loss to No. 2 Brett Pfarr of Minnesota at the NWCA All-Star Classic and had seven place-winners at the Southeast Open in Blacksburg,Va. “The funny thing about Brett that people don’t realize is that he was in the city working this summer in an internship on Wall Street for three months so he wasn’t training at all,” said Ayres in assessing the performance of Harner, who is coming off a junior season that saw him win an EIWA crown and take eighth at the NCAA championships. “He didn’t get to us until September. He comes back to us and in a couple of months we ask him to wrestle in the all star meet. The guy he wrestled had probably been wrestling all summer. His confidence has jumped so much since he placed last year. His mind is on being an NCAA champ. I like his training right now, I am not at all concerned about it. I think he is going to do some great things this year.” In the event at Virginia Te ch, Kolo d z i k won

at 141 as did junior Ian Baker at 184. Schleifer took second with sophomore Mike D’Angelo (149) and O’Donnell making the semi. Laster took fifth and Agaisse came in sixth. “How they performed was good, we had two kids win and we had a bunch of guys place,” said Ayres. “Most people would just say Matt Kolodzik won another tournament but he had the seventh ranked guy in the country in the weight. In the four matches that he had those kids were all studs and they really never had a chance to beat him.” Seeing Baker get his title was probably the most heartening aspect of opening weekend for Ayres. “He was really in a tough spot, he was behind Brett last year and he was having issues with finding his motivation in wrestling,” said Ayres. “He came back this year and he is like a born again. He is down to 184, he can make the weight, Brett is at 197. He goes out there and he pinned the 11th ranked guy in the country. He is ranked 12th now or something along those lines, that’s the highest he has been ranked. He is 4-0, he is going to be dangerous. I knew he was capable; it was just is he going to show it. It was awesome; it was a great, great win.” Ayres is confident that his wrestlers will put on a good show this Saturday at Rutgers. “It is a rivalry, we are just down the road,” said Ayres. “They are ranked 15th, we are 20th. I think they have six ranked guys, we have six ranked guys in the top 20. Both programs are on a pretty steep trajectory. We want to beat them bad, that is just who we are. It would be great to go up there in front to 20,000 people and beat them in their own stadium.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Robinson’s Sharper Finishing Touch, PU Men’s Hockey Earns 2-2 Tie With Dartmouth Eric Robinson is living out a childhood dream by playing for the Princeton University men’s hockey team. “I grew up 45 minutes from here, I came to Princeton games as a kid,” said Robinson, a native of Bellmawr, N.J. in Camden County. “My parents can come to quite a few of the home games so it is cool to be so close to home.” L as t S at urday agains t Dartmouth, junior forward Robinson gave the home fans at Baker Rink plenty to cheer about, scoring two goals to help Princeton rally from deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 to pull out a 2-2 tie with the Big Green. “It is just big to get a point; we definitely felt like we could have gotten one there in over time,” said the 6’2, 200-pound Robinson, reflecting on the tie which left Princeton at 0-41 overall and 0-3-1 ECAC Hockey. “I think we have to keep taking steps forward here as a team. We will get back to it Monday, take what we can out of these games, and look at the positives.” Robinson’s initial tally came in the second period when Princeton got a 4-on3 power play after a Dartmouth player received a major penalty and a game misconduct. “We knew in that situation

with that 5-minute call, we had to take advantage of it,” said Robinson, who blasted the puck off the crossbar with assists from Derek Topatigh and Alex Riche. “We were all bearing down on that power play because we knew that was a big point in the game there that we could take advantage of. We have worked on that 4-on-3 quite a bit. It was a really nice pass; it was easy to one time that and I got a hold of it pretty good.” After Dartmouth took a 2-1 lead in the second period, Robinson struck again nearly six minutes into the third, battling through a scrum in the crease area. “T hat was g reat work down low there by linemates, Jeremy Germain and David Hallisey, really working the puck down low there. They got it out front and I was just fortunate to be there and bang home a rebound.” Robinson’s two-goal effort wasn’t just the product of good fortune as he has been diligently honing his finishing skills. “I worked on my shot quite a bit and Ron ( Princeton head coach Ron Fogarty) has been helping me with that,” said Robinson, who notched his first goal of the season in a 5-2 loss to Harvard on Friday. “I definitely see it coming to help me here in the

GETTING AFTER IT: Princeton University men’s hockey player Eric Robinson, right, battles a foe in recent action. Last Saturday, junior forward Robinson scored two goals to help Princeton skate to a 2-2 tie with visiting Dartmouth.

games, it is positive to see. Instead of driving wide and painting myself into a corner, if I don’t have that step on the defense then I pull up. It is getting more time with the puck instead of just trying to go wide every time.” Princeton head coach Fogarty is happy with the way Robinson is stepping up. “Eric has been working on his shot, developing a quicker shot, more of a snapper instead of a big, long release,” said Fogarty. “His speed is great and he just has to keep working on the offensive tactics to put him in scoring spots and to finish.” The Tigers showed some resolve, working hard despite trailing for much of the contest. “Any time you score a goal, it is a pretty good turning point and to get back in it going down 2-1 was good,” said Fogarty. “Third period leads are big in college hockey; it is tough to come back because other teams can play tighter defensively and you are forced to go 200 feet but we got that second goal and had a great opportunity in overtime and Germain just missed.” While Fogarty would have liked to see his team cash in that OT opportunity, he viewed the tie as a step forward. “It is progress, getting a point is good,” said Fogarty. “Getting four points at home is the progress we want to see. It is a step of how we are playing to get a tangible point.” With Princeton playing at Colgate (2-5-4 overall, 1-21 ECACH) on November 18 and at Cornell (2-2-1 overall, 2-1-1 ECACH) a day later, Fogarty is looking for some more tangible results. “Charlie Finn is an excellent goalie with Colgate and Lynah Rink (at Cornell) is a tough place to play at,” said Fogarty, a former standout player at Colgate. “We have to keep worrying about how we play and the standard of our play.” Robinson and his teammates are determined to keep raising their standard of play. “The focus is the same, the message stays the same,” said Robinson. “We have got to start finding ways to get points here on the road. We have got to grind out some points.” —Bill Alden

Alarie Sparkles in Debut for PU Women’s Hoops But Youthful Tigers Post 0-2 Opening Weekend It didn’t take long for Bella Alarie to make an impact last Friday in her debut for the Princeton Universit y women’s basketball team. The 6’4 freshman won the opening tip-off and then drained a jumper 15 seconds later. “I was really nervous coming in because starting as a freshman is something I didn’t really expect,” said Alarie. “It was putting a lot of hard work in the preseason and coming together as a team. I took those nerves and turned them into something exciting.” Alarie kept the excitement coming, totaling 17 points in the first half as Princeton trailed 35-33 at halftime. “I play to play hard, just see what is open and just take what I can get,” said Alarie. “I played without thinking, without letting any nerves get in my head. I definitely felt like I was in a good rhythm, especially once I started hitting 3s. That is when I really picked it up.” Princeton couldn’t get in a good rhythm in the second half, falling behind 54-37 to the Broncs in the third quarter on the way to a 70-62 setback. While unhappy with the outcome, Alarie liked the way the Tigers battled down the stretch as they narrowed the gap to 56-53 midway through the fourth quarter. “I think we just wanted to fight, we wanted to pull together in the end and use our grit and play tough,” said Alarie. “Unfortunately, it didn’t go in our favor but just coming together and playing as hard as we could was all we could ask for.” In assessing her debut, Alarie knows she has to play harder on the defensive end. “I think I was a much lazier defender in high school because my height was a huge advantage,” said Alarie. “Now we have these big, strong athletic players and I have to learn how to defend better. That is a big difference and the speed and strength of the opponent and playing at a faster pace.” The influence of Alarie’s father, former Duke star and NBA player Mark Alarie, has made a big difference in her

development as a player. “He has had a huge impact on my basketball game, he has been my coach for most of my life,” said Alarie. “Now it is just a nice thing to have him in the stands. I know he is watching and he is proud of me. I just want to play hard for him. I am wearing the number that he wore when he played in the NBA so I want to make him proud and play in his name.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cour t ney B anghar t was proud of how Alarie performed in her debut. “For a freshman to play with that level of fearlessness and to play at the level that she is playing is something,” said Banghart. “We are a program that hasn’t been able to start freshmen because we have so many good players in front of them. This is the first one since Niveen Rasheed and LP (Lauren Polansky) started (in 2009-10). It is what we expected. It is what we get from her night after night in practice but we don’t take it for granted with a young kid.” With a roster that includes only three seniors, Banghart is expecting her team to take some lumps in the early going. “We are really a young group without knowing how to deal with the ebbs and the flows of the game, but

we have got a lot of heart,” said Banghart, whose team moved to 0-2 with a 56-45 loss at George Washington last Sunday. “The challenge is going to be to help them play the way they practice, which sounds really clichéd but it is not easy to do and then defensively day to day make sure that we are getting better because we are not a very good defensive team right now.” In Banghart’s view, the Tigers have the potential to be very good. “I think it is one of those teams that is going to get better and better as we go,” said Banghart, who hopes the Tigers get on the winning track when they host Dayton on November 19, and then play at Delaware on November 22. “I hope the steps taken are giant steps. We all know that they may be baby steps as long as they are forward.” Alarie, for her part, is confident that Princeton will keep moving forward. “Our team needs a lot of work on knowing how to play together,” said Alarie, who had eight points in the loss at GW. “We are a very young team and we need to learn how to play through those times when we are down and to play as tough as we can to the last second. We did lose a little bit of hope for a brief second there and being able to pull through was definitely something good.” —Bill Alden

Linda Greenhouse Journalist and Author

A year before John Ryan took the ice for the Princeton High boys’ hockey team in 2003, he sensed that he could make an impact for the program. “My Dad used to take me to games over at Mercer County rink,” said Ryan. “Most of the people on my club team were a year older so a lot of them were already playing in the high school league. We had seen a lot of them playing as freshmen and they did pretty well. We thought myself, Christian McCracken, Peter Teifer, and Shane Leuck could come in and have an effect early on.” Ryan’s analysis proved correct as he starred from the moment he put on a PHS uniform, emerging as one of the top scorers in the Colonial Valley Conference (CVC) as a freshman. He went on to help the Little Tigers win the Mercer County Tournament as a sophomore and ended his career as the program’s top scorer with 259 points on 149 goals and 110 assists. This Saturday, Ryan will be inducted into the PHS Athletics Hall of Fame along with John “Chauncey” Rossi ’38 (deceased), Estuardo Ramirez ’99, coach/athlete Bill Cirullo ’66 (deceased), and the 1972 boys’ tennis and 1974 boys’ cross country teams in a dinner to be held at the Mercer Oaks Country Club. Despite his record-breaking career for the Little Tigers, hockey didn’t come easy at first for Ryan. “My neighbors at the time wanted to start playing and I said you know what, I will give it a shot,” said Ryan, a Cranbury native who was known as “JR” by his teammates and coaches. “I started playing when I was eight. I wasn’t very good at first. I had a lot of fun playing, so then I started skating more and more and it evolved into my favorite sport.” As Ryan’s love affair with hockey deepened, he quickly moved up the ranks of local club programs. “I started one and half years later; I was playing

in the in house league in Ice Land in Hamilton for a year,” said Ryan. “There was the East Windsor PAL, they still had hockey then and that was one of the last years that they had it. I did that for a year and after that, it was the Mercer Chiefs from that next year through when I graduated from high school.” Looking back on his freshman year at PHS, Ryan acknowledged that he had a lot on his plate. “I think it was just the amount of time, it was my first year in high school so it was getting acclimated to that, there was also club hockey and high school hockey,” said Ryan. “There was a lot going on all at once so with the energy and time just getting rest was probably the toughest part.” A major highlight for Ryan came when PHS won the county title in his second season with the program. “I think the most rewarding part about sophomore year was that we started pretty slow and then we came on really strong,” said Ryan. “I remember that I had broken my arm so I wasn’t even playing the first game of the year. Even when I came back, we started really slow but then it was great in the end. Winning the Mercer County title that year was the most memorable thing. I can still remember most of the play by play with that game, Shane played the game of his life.” As a senior, Ryan took his game to a higher level, scoring 81 points on 46 goals and 35 assists. “That year was great too; once again we started really slow,” said Ryan. “In our first two or three games I was playing defense because we were short guys at the beginning of the year. We just came together, we had a really good run.” Ryan enjoyed his time off the ice at PHS. “The good thing is that Cranbury is a small town so I came in with some close friends from there,” said Ryan.

“But then I met a lot of new people that I became really close to after four years.” After graduating, Ryan decided to stop playing competitively and devote his energy to academics. “I didn’t play hockey after college,” said Ryan. “There were a few D-3 schools that I could have gone to and there were a few junior programs where I could have gone to school where I would have just played. I was ready to go to school. I ended up going to the University of Rhode Island.” These days, Ryan has returned to the ice for recreational action. “I still play in a men’s league,” said Ryan, who works for Merrill Lynch in its wealth management department and resides in Lawrenceville. “It was funny because there were a few years where Pete Miller and his brother Terence had a team together and so we did that for a few years. There are a bunch of guys who still play, like Adam Shemansky, who was my buddy at Notre Dame.” W hen Ryan fou nd out that he had been selected for the PHS Hall of Fame, his thoughts turned to the good times spent with his teammates, not individual accomplishments. “It is fun thinking about it, you almost take it for granted how lucky you are getting to play with all of your buddies that you go to school with; it was pretty much practice or playing games every day for a few months four years in a row,” said Ryan. “Any time you look back on that stuff, it was a lot of fun. I still remember Pete Miller’s celebration after he scored to put us ahead in that championship game against Notre Dame, that image will always be etched in my mind. The bus rides after games also stand out. We looked at the years where we had a lot of success, particularly our sophomore and senior years; in both of those years we started slow and came together as a team. The trip itself to get there was fun.” —Bill Alden

JR RETURNS: John Ryan heads up the ice during his stellar career with the Princeton High boys’ ice hockey team. Ryan, a 2007 PHS grad who was known as “JR” by his teammates and coaches, holds the program record with 259 points on 149 goals and 110 assists. This Saturday, Ryan will be inducted into the PHS Athletics Hall of Fame.

As the Princeton High boys’ cross country team toed the star ting line at Holmdel Park last Saturday for the Group 4 championship meet, its runners were confident that they had put in the necessary legwork to earn the program’s first state crown since 1986. “This is not a one season thing, getting to this point,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk. “It has been about building this team to this moment. It started when Alex Roth came in as a freshman; we knew he was talented. At that point it was about how do we give him a great opportunity for success. Once we started to see him move forward, then it was how do we build a team around him and we started adding these pieces in.” The pieces fell into place for PHS as it pulled away to victory at the meet, scoring 69 points with Cherokee second at 135 and Montgomery third with 139. Senior star Alex Roth set the pace for the Little Tigers, finishing second individually with a time of 15:57 over the 5,000-meter course. Junior Will Hare took sixth in 16:09 with sophomore Acasio Pinheiro coming in 10th at 16:23, junior Jackson Donahue finishing 28th in 16:55, with Alex Ackerman coming in 40th with a time of 17:02. “We had a race plan going in and the race didn’t really go out the way we expected it to,” said Smirk. “We expected a little more aggressive race, it went out really tactical and that is something we really haven’t

seen this season. The athletes made a great adjustment. Coming off the mile mark, they really consolidated themselves, checked in with each other and made some good moves. With a mile and a quarter left, we really took over the race. When we saw opportunities to make good moves, we took them every time and that is something we have been working on a lot.” Roth made the right moves at the front of the pack, weathering a number of surges to finish 10 seconds behind individual champion Rey Rivera of Old Bridge High. “We took the specific race plan off for him, we said you are a veteran you know a bunch of ways to run successfully; you use the one that you are going to use, it is your decision,” recalled Smirk. “ We l e t h i m l o o s e ; I thought he executed to perfection. Whenever Rey took a surge, he responded. It was like two different races. The first half was real tactical and packed and real nitty gritty and the second half was all about guts and speed. Rey Rivera attacked in the bowl, the hardest part of the course, and he throws a huge surge in and the only person who responded was Alex. He was the only one who could stay engaged and really run.” As usual, Hare ran well with Roth at the front of the pack. “Will has trained with Alex for two years non stop and I think you saw that when the race got really fast at the end,” said Smirk. “Will was really able to

bear down and know exactly how to handle it. It was — I have been here before, this is my teammate.” Pinheiro handled himself like a veteran as he made the top 10. “Acasio is super knowledgeable on that course ; he has been on that course a bunch,” said Smirk. “We were doing the race plan and when I got to him, it was just run your race buddy, don’t worry about this, we have got you on either side. Alex and Will can take care of up front and we have got the 4-5-6-7 guys at the back that are going to run great. All you need to do is run your race. With about a mile left, he had a really nice opportunity to break into the top 10. We let him know that and he took absolute advantage of it. He had a great race.” Donahue had a great day behind the PHS’s big three. “Jackson had a huge PR on the course,” said Smirk. “It has been all season with him, fix this little thing, learn this little thing, and apply this little thing. Every practice, every race and even on off days, he is doing the right stuff. You take care of all of the little things and it paid off for him in states.” Smirk, for his part, believes the team’s hard work will pay off as it makes a return trip to the Meet of Champions (MOC) this Saturday at Holmdel Park. “I think getting out to the MOC last year, we had that moment where wait a minute we can hang here; we are good enough to be here but we were inconsistent,” said Smirk. “When we sat down to our team meeting in June and the calendar went up, there was no question which weeks were most important. We ranked them in order of importance and MOC is right up there with groups and regionals; that makes sense since it is right at the end of our season. We are gearing up to run great and that is what we want to do.” —Bill Alden

PHS Girls’ Cross Country Takes 7th in States As Seniors Leave Legacy of Working Together After coming up two points short of winning a sectional title a week earlier, the Princeton High girls’ cross country team was primed to be at the front of the pack at the state Group 4 championship meet last Saturday. Battling valiantly, PHS ended up seventh and showing how far the team has come, the result was a bit disappointing to the runners. “It was a tough race for them, they ran with a lot of heart,” said PHS head coach Jim Smirk, reflecting on the competition which was won by Ridge with the Little Tigers finishing one place ahead of rival WW/P-S. ”I know they weren’t super thrilled with the performance, they certainly were much happier with their sectional performance.” Junior star Chloe Taylor led the way for the Little Tigers, taking 20th individually, clocking a time of 19:43 over the 5,000-meter course and earning a wild card spot in the Meet of the Champions this Saturday. Senior Annie Walker finished 34th with senior Izzy Trenholm coming in 36th and senior Annefleur Hartmanshenn placing 64th. “This is a team that really learned to work together, trust each other and give themselves the opportunity for a really good performance,” said Smirk. “I would say the hallmark of the girls’ team this year is that when they were challenged, they were able to take some time to reflect on that challenge and become a better team each time they were challenged. I am not sure I have ever had a team that could do that as well as this team. That is a really impressive thing for a bunch of high school girls to be able to look at what is working and what isn’t and very quickly make the adjustment.” Smirk pointed to Hartmanshenn as exemplifying

the team’s ability to rise to a challenge. “I t hink t he big t hing with Annefleur is if you had asked her a year ago would you be a difference maker at the sectional and state level, she was saying I am barely hanging on here,” said Smirk. “It was big for her to take ownership over her success and compete the way she has.” Walker and Trenholm displayed good competitiveness on Saturday. “Annie wasn’t feeling 100 percent, she was under the weather and the fact that she stayed in there and fought through that was really important for her,” said Smirk. “I thought Izzy ran really effectively. It was a little bit of an odd race for her, she likes to be a late surge kind of kid. The race went really fast in the first quarter and it slowed down and it had a couple of surges. It was a

race that traditionally would have been difficult for Izzy. That was a good, solid effort on her part to run as effectively as she did. She finished well in the pack there. She is the only girl on the team who was a fouryear varsity runner.” In Smirk’s view, the team’s seniors have set a good example for the program’s younger runners. “We have a nice freshman class, we are growing them into competitors,” said Smirk. “We are taking our time with them, they are staying healthy. These girls have had an immense amount of contact with the seniors. They have put down a new standard of what it means to be on our team and that is saying a lot because of the great teams we have had in the past. There is no question that they are leaving a legacy for those new runners this year and future runners.” —Bill Alden

from junior star Jakob Green in the loss to the Falcons. “They are going to get better. We are going to enjoy watching them play other spor ts. We have a good slew of guys who do a lot of good things. We are going to watch them and see them grow up a little more and become better athletes and better young men. I am excited for that.” The team’s senior class showed good growth over their four years. “They have done a really great job,” said Gallagher,” whose Class of 2017 includes Kyle Angelucci, Aaron DiGregorio, Matt Hawes, Samardi Jeedigunta, Alex Solopenkov, Biagio Toto, and Will Wright in addition to Guerra. “Ethan is a really talented ball player, we are going to miss him. Aaron DiGregorio and Will Wright are kids that have been here for four years and just doing a great job. These are the freshmen that I started with as head coach. I will graduate with them a little bit. It has been four good years.” For G allagher, forging those bonds with his players is the most meaningful aspect of his role. “It is a real honor to be the coach,” said Gallagher. “Any time you are out here on the football field, it is a great season. Any time you get out there and you get to participate, compete, and be with the young men, it is a great feeling. I am truly blessed.” Having turned the page on his football career, Guerra will now be competing in his final wrestling campaign. “I am looking forward to that; I love all of my sports,” said Guerra. “I play them to enjoy them. I always look forward to the next game or the next practice. I think that is more important that anything else. That is why you play sports in high school, because you enjoy it.” —Bill Alden

Alison McDonald Shehadi A lison McDonald She hadi, longtime teacher at Princeton Day School and chair of the math department, died peacefully at the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ on November 7, 2016 surrounded by her children and son-in-law. She was 84. Born Alison McDonald Shute, she grew up in Clinton, N.Y., daughter of Professor Berrian R. Shute, who founded the music department at Hamilton College, and pianist Flora McDonald Shute. In 1949, Alison graduated from The Knox School in Cooperstown, N.Y., and went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree from McGill University in Montreal. At McGill, she was a member of the “Merry Martlets” singing group and an officer of the Choral Society, through which she met Fadlou A. Shehadi, who was studying at McGill on a Rockefeller Fellowship. They became engaged in 1952, but Alison was determined to experience life on her own before marriage, so after graduation in 1953, she moved to New York to live with her sister, Margaret, and worked in a lab doing research on radioactive isotopes used in the treatment of cancer. Alison and Fadlou married in 1954, at first living in New Brunswick, where Fadlou was on the faculty of Rutgers University, then moving to Princeton after the birth of their oldest son, Philip, in 1957. In 1959 Alison began teaching mathematics at Miss Fine’s school, which in 1965 merged with Princeton Country Day School to become Princeton Day School (PDS). She had two more children, a daughter, Muna, in 1961, and another son, Charles, in 1964. At PDS, she played important roles in many curriculum initiatives and faculty committees, and was appointed chairman of the

four devoted grandkids, Jason, Alec, Josie and Alice. She was preceded in death by her son Philip in 1991 and her husband Fadlou in 2012. A service celebrating her life will be held at Stonebridge at Montgomery, 100 Hollinshead Spring Road in Skillman, NJ on Friday, November 18, 2016 at 11 a.m. The family requests any donations in her memory be made to the Princeton Universit y A r t Museu m, Elm Drive, Princeton, NJ 08544. Extend condolences and share memories at TheKimble FuneralHome.com.

math department in 1977, a position she held until 1989. She also served as a member of the Middle States Evaluation Committee. Alison was a trusted advisor and had very strong relationships with students and advisees alike. She retired from teaching after 30-plus years in 1992. In retirement, Alison became a trustee at PDS, serving as a member of the planning committee, the head of school search committee, and as chair of the educational policy committee. She also became a docent at the Princeton University Ar t Museum and led frequent tours for all age groups, the younger ages being her favorites. Alison was a fearless and passionate traveler who lived abroad several years of her life and took countless shorter trips to countries around the world. She had a deep love of history, music, art, and mathematics, and was insatiably curious and interested in learning about ever ything and ever yone around her. She was also a skilled seamstress, an astonishing cook, and a flawless hostess. She and Fadlou attended concerts and operas both locally, in New York, Philadelphia, and in many cities abroad. Unfailingly respectful and polite, her wide smile and gracious nature seldom wavered. Few met her who didn’t immediately respond to her charm and genuine warmth. Alison will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but especially by her children, Muna and Charles; their respective spouses, Mark and Tracy; and her

9 WAYS TO AVOID GOBBLING UP ENERGY ON THANKSGIVING Wasting energy on Thanksgiving? Don’t be a turkey. Your home gets a serious workout on Thanksgiving. While you may be packing on the pounds, your home is sweating from increased usage — more people coming in and out, and more digital devices to charge so everyone can keep up with their favorite football team and friends.

Give your home a break, and don't make it work so hard, which will also save you cash on energy bills. Check out this article on tips for a few days before Thanksgiving, when you start cooking and when it’s clean up time.
