Bike Master Planners Seek Community Input On “Complete Streets” Input, input, and more input is the mantra of the Bike Master Planners as they gather information from all varieties of bicycle riders, non-riders, homeowners, merchants, and other community members in the ongoing creation of a Bike Master Plan to serve all stakeholders and advance Princeton’s Complete Streets Policy. At stake, they claim, is nothing less than the quality of life in the community — its environment and its health, as well as a solution for traffic congestion and parking problems. Hundreds of citizens have responded so far to an online survey, a wiki mapping tool and comment forms, and about 80 concerned residents gathered last Thursday in the Community Room at 400 Witherspoon Street to find out what’s going on and to make sure their voices were heard by engineers, local officials, and other members of the planning group. Those voices included advocates for more education about laws and cycling, more enforcement of the laws, making safer connections on routes into and out of Princeton, making better connections to regional trails, focusing on the school children, focusing on the challenges for bike-to-workers, better maintenance of roads (to remove brush, leaves, sunken drains, potholes, and other dangerous conditions), combating aggressive drivers, providing more cycling racks (preferably covered), creating more “sharrows” (shared lane arrows), encouraging more riding on the sidewalk, and even — how about accommodations for the equestrian population? The most heated exchange of the evening arose among homeowners and bicyclists concerning a plan that had been presented and widely debated before being tabled about ten months ago; the proposal was to eliminate on-street parking and create a bike lane on Hamilton Avenue between Harrison Streets and Snowden Lane. At Thursday’s first of three public outreach meetings on the Bicycle Master Plan, study consultant Peter Kremer of Parsons Brinckerhoff Engineering explained the study process, then moderated a lively question-and answer session. During the last 45 minutes of the two-hour meeting, individuals moved Continued on Page 16

Lempert Gears Up for a Second Term

Since announcing last Thursday that she will run for a second term in the general election next year, Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert has begun putting her new campaign into place. On her team are Leticia Fraga, chair; Dan Preston, vicechair; Helen Heintz, treasurer; and former Princeton Borough Mayor Mildred Trotman, honorary co-chair. “It’s an intense job, but like a lot of things that are intense, it’s highly rewarding,” Ms. Lempert, a Democrat, said Monday of her decision to run again. “There aren’t that many jobs where you can have an impact on people’s lives and make things better and actually see that impact. I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish together with Council, staff, volunteers, and boards and commissions. But there is so much to do and still a lot of activity on the plate that I’d like to have the opportunity to work on.” Ms. Lempert is the first to declare candidacy for the next election. Those seeking to be eligible for endorsement by the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO) must register by February at the latest, and usually do so before or after the winter holidays. The issues of affordability and sustainability figure highly on Ms. Lempert’s list of priorities. During her term in office, Prince-

ton has secured a AAA bond rating, been named an Age Friendly Community by the World Health Organization, won the Sustainable Jersey Leadership Award, and the Innovation Award from the New Jersey League of Municipalities, among other honors. “We’ve been making major strides toward innovation, and we should continue that. We want to be a model of effective, efficient government for the 21st century,” she said. Ms. Lempert, 46, was elected the first

She had previously worked on the 2008 presidential campaign of Barack Obama, and served on Princeton Township Committee. A California native, she has lived in Princeton for 13 years with her husband, Ken Norman, a neuroscience professor at Princeton University, and their two daughters. Last year, Ms. Lempert supported Council candidates Bernie Miller and Continued on Page 14

Town Considers Expanding Sick Leave For All Part Time Municipal Employees At a meeting of Princeton Council on November 9, a proposal to extend sick leave pay to all municipal workers, including part-time and seasonal employees, was outlined by administrator Marc Dashield. Providing extra sick pay would not have a significant financial impact on the budget, Mr. Dashield estimated. Currently, all full time and part time municipal employees who work more than 20 hours a week are entitled to sick pay. Under an ordinance proposed earlier this year that would affect not only municipal workers but also those who are employed

by local businesses, seasonal workers like lifeguards and part-timers such as garage workers and crossing guards would also be covered. Mr. Dashield went through each department to show how much estimated additional sick leave would be taken if the ordinance passed. A part time worker would be able to get one hour of sick leave for 30 hours worked, but would not be eligible to use the sick leave until they had worked 90 days. “To me, this is an issue of fairness and humanity,” said Council member Jenny Crumiller. “We should definitely adopt it.” Continued on Page 16

The story that inspired Disney’s Frozen comes to life in a holiday production of The Snow Queen by Princeton Youth Ballet (PYB). Performances will take place on Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13 at 4 p.m. at the Princeton High School Performing Arts Center, 151 Moore Street. Instead of the traditional backdrop, the performance features state-of-the-art projections, which transport the audience to another world (from a small Scandinavian village to an ice castle in the mountains). In addition, PYB alumna Jillian Davis will reprise her role as the Snow Queen. Artistic Director and Choreographer Rita Kaplowitz states, “Jillian was made for this role. At over six feet tall, she is a fierce and stunning dancer.” PYB is offering a limited number of VIP tickets for the Sunday performance, which includes special admission to a Snow Queen Tea. Guests will be treated to delicious treats, a surprise gift, and visits from the Snow Queen herself. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for children, students, and seniors. To order, call (800) 8383006 or visit www.PrincetonYouthBallet.org. For group discounts, call (609) 948-8065. ———

Corrections In an article on the hackathon technology event at Princeton University on page 9 of the November 11 issue, Mike Swift — not Mike DeCarlo — is quoted in the third and seventh (last) paragraphs and is the co-founder of Major League Hacking. Also in the November 11 issue, in the page 13 article on the Pets and their People radio show, Red Paw Emergency Relief Team, referred to as a division of Red Cross, is a separate 501c3 organization. Red Cross calls on Red Paw when dealing with clients at disaster scenes who have pets.

Police Blotter On November 7, at 6:40 p.m., a 26-year-old male from Elizabeth was arrested for hindering his own apprehension by providing false information to a police officer during a car stop on Wiggins Street. On November 7, at 10:04 p.m., a Brickhouse Road resident reported that someone stole the contents of an envelope from her mailbox containing personal identification information. On October 23, a Wittmer Court resident reported that sometime between October 21 and 23, someone stole a generator valued at $940 from his detached garage. On November 10, at 8:15 a.m., a 30-year old male from Trenton was arrested for possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia during a car stop on Mercer Street. On November 8, at 10:14 a.m., a Clover Lane resident reported that sometime during the overnight hours on November 7, someone entered his car and stole headphones and a purse totaling $335 in value. On November 2, at 7:33 a.m. a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old male was traveling south on Bayard Lane just south of Boudinot Street and crossed over the center lines and struck two cars traveling north on Bayard Lane. One vehicle was driven by a 45-year-old male and one was driven by a 34-year-old female. A vehicle driven by a 49-year-old female braked to avoid the accident and was struck in the rear by a pickup truck driven by a 52-year-old male. Two of the drivers suffered non-life threatening upper body injuries and were transported to the University Medical Center at Plainsboro. The 17-year-old driver was issued a summons for careless driving and failure to maintain lanes. Traffic was detoured during the investigation, causing major backups in the area. The road reopened at 9 a.m. On November 13, at 9:14 a.m., a Fisher Avenue resident reported that sometime overnight on November 1112, someone entered her vehicle and stole $10 worth of coins.

The cable lock was cut and lying on the ground.

Question of the Week:

“What is on your tailgate menu?”

(Asked Saturday before the Princeton-Yale game)

Joanne: “A lot of culinary contributions, finger food, and because it’s so cold, sausage soup (a tradition for 25 years).” Tom: “We’ve been hosting this tailgate every single game and the band has been coming even in the snow a few years ago. For the last game, it’s tradition to serve sausage soup upwards of 100 cups. The 1956 group is pooled before each game so we don’t have duplication. We have guacamole, chicken fingers, cheese and crackers, deviled eggs, brownies, and cookies.” —Joanne and Tom Meeker (Class of 1956), Glen Ridge, N.J.

“This is pork compliments of the Princeton baseball team. There’s a hog over there. I’m doing the respectful job of caring for its remains.” —Mike Iseman (Class of 1961), Denver

“Suckling pig and delicious chips. But when I come back to Princeton, there’s cheap beer and that’s what’s on my tailgate menu.” —Matt Iseman (Class of 1993), Hollywood, California

“I’m here with the Princeton Football Association and we’re having lots of the usual fare, hamburgers and hot dogs and so on.” —Doug Butler (Class of 1985), San Francisco

“Princeton football alumni tailgate, macaroni and cheese, Italian subs, chicken, salami, pizza, hot dogs, and meatballs, the ultimate tailgate item.” —Frank Vuono (Class of 1978,) Lyndhurst, N.J. (left), and Steven Tishman (Class of 1979), New York City

Planned for a year, it was a celebration not only of the church’s 175th anniversary, but also of the 10th year since the church purchased the Robeson house, which was once the church parsonage.

The congregation also received a formal apology from the Presbytery of New Brunswick for asking blacks to leave Nassau Presbyterian Church in 1836. The monetary gift means the church can cover the two mortgages on the Robeson House. “This gift is just wonderful for us,” said Denyce Leslie, a ruling elder who chairs the church’s buildings and grounds committee. “Now we clearly outright own four properties within town — the church, the Paul Robeson House on Witherspoon Street, the church office next door, and the manse on Walnut Street.” The apology from the Presbytery of New Brunswick for removal of Rev. Robeson from his post in 1900, after 21 years of service, is equally significant, Ms. Leslie said. “We had worked on this for several years starting with David Prince many years ago,” she said, referring to an interim pastor of the church, who died last year. The Rev. Prince and his wife Nancy, who was present at the anniversary celebration, researched the history of the church and learned that Rev. Robeson was forced out when some white people thought he was too outspoken about the rights of black people. “David Prince said the most important reconciliation is to get this apology from the Presbytery of New Brunswick,” Ms. Leslie said. “They are the ones who can appoint and remove a pastor, and that’s what they did.” After Mr. Prince’s

Witherspoon Church Continued from Preceding Page

Ms. Leslie said the congregation wants to turn it into a study center focused on human rights, as well as a place to celebrate the Robeson family history. The house is being restored by Kevin Wilkes of Princeton Design Guild. The history of the Witherspoon church dates from March of 1836, when 90 of the 131 black members of the First Presbyterian Church ( Nassau Presbyterian) were dismissed to form a church under the name of “The First Presbyterian Church of Colour of Princeton,” according to the church website. The church was established after a fire destroyed the balcony of Nassau Presbyterian, where slaves sat during worship. In 1840, the congregation was officially assembled, and was referred to as the Third Presbyterian Church and the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church for Colored People in Princeton. The gift and apology were announced during last Sunday’s banquet. “That was exciting,” said Ms. Leslie. “But we knew about the

intention several months ago. The Synod had done their research and a full report. Three pastors looked into this.” According to the publication The Presbyterian Outlook, the Synod produced a report in September recommending that the Presbytery of New Brunswick issue a formal apology. A letter of affirmation was sent to the Presbytery of New Brunswick for making amends for the injustice committed by the presbytery, and a resolution was drafted for issuing the apology. The Presbytery of New Brunswick is contributing $2,500 towards the restitution effort and is encouraging member churches to assist. A series of activities focused on reconciliation are currently being planned between Witherspoon Street Presbyterian and Nassau Presbyterian churches, the Presbytery of New Brunswick, and other Presbyterian institutions. “We want to bury the hatchet,” Ms. Leslie said, “and become the safe community we’re supposed to be.” —Anne Levin

“DORMANT PRUNING” WITH PEPPER DETURO WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

WAITING TO WALK THE RUNWAY: On Sunday, October 18 at Special Olympics New Jersey’s 12th annual American Girl Fashion Show fundraiser, 50 girls of all ability levels served as models because they helped raise awareness and more than $60,000 for the organization. They worked for seven months and became ambassadors as they learned about the Special Olympics movement, volunteered at events, promoted the show in their schools and communities, and raised money from family, friends, and local businesses. The show included models with intellectual disabilities, so those without were able to learn about social inclusion and acceptance.

Most Likely to Succeed:

an eye opening documentary about education reform and the skills-based learning movement

Presented by

THE HUN SCHOOL OF PRINCETON Tuesday, December 1st, 7:00 p.m. John Andrew Saks ’31 Auditorium

For most of the last century, entry-level jobs were plentiful, and college was an affordable path to a fulfilling career. That world no longer exists. The feature-length documentary Most Likely to Succeed examines the history of education, revealing the growing shortcomings of the traditional school model in today’s innovative world. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been named “among the best edu-documentaries ever produced” by Education Week, and called a “smart and engaging look at education in the 21st century” by The Hollywood Reporter.

The dormant season is the preferred time for pruning most shade and ornamental trees. Dormancy refers to the time after the leaves have fallen in the fall, and before the new leaves emerge in the spring. There are a variety of benefits provided by performing pruning operations during this period. Foremost, work is completed with less disruption at a time when your grounds are less intensely used. Further, because the ground is firm and perennials are dormant, work can proceed more efficiently – saving of both time and money. Trees respond to dormant pruning with a consistent growth response. Moreover, dormant pruning is a stimulating process. Pruning wounds often close faster when made in the winter than those made in the summer. Also, there is less disease and insect presence during the biologically quiet dormant season. Additionally, because the foliage is not in the way, pruning during the dormant season allows our arborists to more quickly evaluate the structure of the tree and identify any needed modification. Efficiency is also increased because the limbs weigh less and are more easily handled without the substantial weight of the foliage. Obviously, year round employment is a requisite for all of us. Mortgage, rent, auto loan, and tuition payments all fail to recognize nature’s seasonality. Accordingly, Woodwinds needs to provide work all year round for our experienced and talented arborists and field crews. In fact, our commitment to our staff allows us to assemble the professional field crews with unmatched, unrivaled talent and longevity to skillfully tend to your trees and shrubs. Planning your tree care to be accomplished during the winter provides the greatest benefit to your trees and optimal service and value to you. If we have not yet reviewed your property, please let us know by calling WO O DWINDS (6 0 9) 924-3500.

As of January 5, according to Frontier Airlines, commercial planes from TrentonMercer Airport (TTN) will fly to just four destinations, all in Florida. Frontier, the only commercial carrier serving TTN, plans to resume service to six other destinations in the spring. “The changes are being made based on supply and demand,” stated Frontier Corporate Communications Representative Jim Faulkner. “There’s a greater demand to travel to warm destinations in the winter so that’s where Frontier’s focus is.” The January flights will be increased to a once-aday schedule for Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, and West Palm Beach and twice daily for Orlando. Flights to Atlanta, Chicago, RaleighDurham, Charlotte, Tampa,

St. Augustine, and Detroit will be suspended. Flights to Minneapolis-St. Paul will be discontinued entirely. Mercer County Executive Br ian Hughes descr ibed this change as a “seasonal a dj u s t m e n t.” “ We w e n t through a cutback similar to this last year,” he said, “and they brought all of the flights back. We’re used to them cutting back.” Mr. Hughes pointed out that the new Frontier schedule will reduce flights from the airport from about 60 per week to about 40, with Frontier moving one of their three Trenton-based planes back to the Denver headquarters. He expressed confidence, however, that Frontier would restore the third plane and all the suspended flights, except for Minneapolis, in March. “They go to places

Phone: 609.258.9220

where they can fill seats in their planes and you’ve got to respect that,” he added. Mr. Faulkner echoed Mr. Hughes’s optimism con cerning future prospects for TTN and its relationship with Frontier Airlines. “TTN has been a good airport for Frontier. Matter of fact, we have a flight attendant base there to help cover flights all along the east coast.” Frontier, along with other low-cost carriers, has recently been under fire for a number of cost-cutting measures, ranging from adding extra seats and tightening legroom, charging extra for carry-on luggage and snacks, low on-time flight percentages, and relatively high numbers of passenger complaints, but Mr. Hughes emphasized the competitiveness of the commercial airline business and the adaptability required to succeed. For the 12-month period ending in March 2015, Frontier Airlines served 394,815 passengers at TTN, an increase of 105 percent over the previous year, with a 98 percent increase in revenue, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). —Donald Gilpin

By bequeathing her home to the town of Princeton, she enabled it to acquire the property that became its borough hall and senior center. And by leaving Princeton University $325,000 to help found its Graduate School, she helped it to expand as an institution. “Girl’s Night Out” to raise funding and awareness for DFSMC. A portion of proceeds from the sales during the evening was reserved for a contribution to DFSMC, resulting in a donation of $10,095. “We are proud to sup port such an important and worthwhile organization in Mercer County,” says Hamilton president Hank B.

Sick Leave continued from page one

Council president Bernie Miller agreed, calling it a matter of “social equity.” Council member Heather Howard called it “a very reasonable proposal that I would support,” adding that the town cannot require local businesses to implement a similar sick leave policy without having one in place for municipal employees. Other Council members questioned how the policy would be implemented and what restrictions would be needed to put it in place. “We don’t have a way to think about this in the way I’d really like to do,” said Councilwoman Jo Butler, who suggested seeking the advice of an economist. Mr. Dashield recommended that the municipality require workers who call in sick to make a documented effort to locate a replacement. Craig Garcia of New Jersey Working Families did not agree with that suggestion. “If you have a health em ergenc y, you have a health emergency,” he said, adding that it was fair to ask employees to find their own replacements but making it a requirement would be difficult to enforce.

Local resident John Heilner commented, “This is a basic right of all our workers in society” that “cannot be limited to those of a higher income. Every worker matters.” Commenting this week, Mayor Liz Lempert said an ordinance requiring sick pay has been passed by some 10 municipalities throughout New Jersey. “There was concern that the language exempted the municipality, so we had to take a look at our own personnel manual and make sure we weren’t going to be imposing regulations we weren’t able to abide by ourselves,” she said. “After the presentation, there seemed to be a general consensus that we wanted to move ahead to modify the manual to offer sick pay to everyone, expanding to seasonal and part time people such as occasional employees.” Mr. Dashield said he will work on specifics of the ordinance with the town’s personnel committee and repor t again at a future Council meeting. See this issue’s Mailbox (page 17) for a related letter. —Anne Levin

Bike Master Planners continued from page one

to different stations to talk with Mr. Kremer and other engineers and municipal officials and to add comments and information to the available interactive maps. Funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation, the Bike Master Plan process is now in the information gathering phase, with development and refinement of recommendations scheduled for early next year and the final plan due in June 2016. “Data gathering drives the analysis,” Mr. Kremer said, with the goal being “to find whether certain streets are appropriate for bicycle improvements.” The public has many opportunities to weigh in on the numerous issues involved in the creation of this Master Plan. In addition to the Princeton Bike Survey at PrincetonBikeSurvey.com with 22 questions related to particular concerns about Princeton biking, there will be two more public meetings early next year to elicit further input and an interactive online wikimap that allows anyone to draw and comment on problem spots, desired bike routes, bike parking, and

other issues. At last check, visitors had designated about 45 trouble spots on the wikimap, as well as numerous desired routes, problem corridors, and places where bike parking is needed. The goal of the study, according to the Bicycle Master Plan document, is “to develop and adopt a bicycle network plan that connects destinations within Princeton and links to adjacent communities and regional trails. The plan will designate the appropriate bicycle treatment for each segment of the network, and identify potential ordinance changes that are required to accommodate such a treatment. “The Bicycle Master Plan will help Princeton advance its Complete Streets policy by making Princeton’s streets more accommodating for users of all ages, modes, and abilities; and create a more comfortable and safe environment, encouraging increased bicycling in Princeton.” Two years ago, the League of American Bicyclists designated Princeton, along with West Windsor, Lambertville, Ocean City, Montclair, and Hoboken, as one of six bikefriendly towns in New Jersey. There are 350 bike-friendly

communities in the United States. After the Bicycle Master Plan is completed in June it will go to the Princeton Planning Board for adoption as part of the Circulation element of the Princeton Community Master Plan. “By redefining our streets as places for all users, we can slow down cars, make walking and biking safer, and provide connections to regional transit,” Mayor Liz Lempert stated. “Community engagement is paramount in creating a viable Bicycle Master plan. I urge all interested residents to participate in this study.” An additional boost to the Princeton Bicycle Master Plan came last month, when the town received a $196,000 grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission to install bike sharing stations in town to promote alternatives to driving. Assistant municipal engineer Deanna Stockton said at least three docking stations would be created at locations to be determined. Princeton University already has in place a bike-share program with ten rental bikes available at the Princeton Train Station. The town and campus bike

share programs will be coordinated, so that bikes can be rented and returned to any location on campus or in town. —Donald Gilpin

YWCA Breast Cancer Center Moves to D&R Greenway

D&R Greenway Land Trust has announced that its Princeton campus will become a Conservation Campus. The Y WCA Pr inceton Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) will be its first campus partner by moving into 2 Preservation Place. “The new strategic alliance between the two nonprofit groups celebrates the healing value that nature brings to our lives,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead. “D&R Greenway Land Trust has been working for more than 25 years to preserve open space and has recognized the important connection between the outdoors and health. The YWCA Princeton BCRC will be able to offer a welcoming and nurturing home setting for women and families, establishing a direct connection between nature and well-being.” The campus is surrounded by more than 60 acres of open space. “In order to serve more survivors and to expand the scope of offerings, we are working with D & R Greenway to lease the beautiful home that sits along Rosedale Road, within walking distance from our campus,” says YWCA Princeton CEO Judy Hutton. “We are delighted to be on the property of an organization that finds value and beauty in open space and greenery, because a healthy environment is so beneficial to good health. Thanks to extraordinary donors, BCRC will be able to keep a presence at 59 Paul Robeson Place and successfully expand and grow into this second home,” adds Hutton. The three campus houses, once part of the Robert Wood Johnson Estate that D&R Greenway and partners preserved in 2001, were originally sold to the Hun School of Princeton to help fund the purchase of Greenway Meadows. The Johnson Education Center, a model of adaptive reuse of a circa 1900 barn, opened on the campus in 2006. W hen the Hun School decided to move teachers back to its own campus and sell the three houses, D&R Greenway bought back all three houses, thanks to the Sands Foundation. “The new conservation campus will include nonprofit groups that can benefit from this shared resource,” says Mead. “This destination campus w ill benefit our local community and beyond, and will stay relevant no matter what the future brings.” “The acquisition of the three houses gives the D&R Greenway the opportunity to examine its campus and explore ways to further connect people with the land as it continues to pursue its essential mission of preserving open space for all,” says Betsy Sands, co-chair of the D&R Greenway Campus Master Plan Committee. “Partnering with effective organizations like the YWCA Princeton makes us think about how we are conserving and why it matters, inspiring us all to get outside and connect with nature to preserve our spirit, which is perhaps the most important of all.”

Completion of University’s Andlinger Center Brings Great Joy, Is Nothing Short of Thrilling

To the Editor: As a longtime resident and observer of Princeton’s built environment, the imminent completion of the University’s Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment brings great joy and optimism. For many months, I have been watching the building emerge from the ground at the corner of Prospect and Olden, always with the sense that something important was happening, for its architects, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, have earned the right to be closely followed; each new work is met with great anticipation. And the building does not disappoint; its simple massing, its deliberate use of materials, its consistent and finely wrought details, and its integration of landscape provide a true and valuable lesson in the architect’s craft. Additionally, the new building invites the existing structures of the Engineering Quadrangle to participate, creating courtyards and connections, allowing the entire site to form a sort of magic garden that envelops the visitor in a contemplative calm that is both mysterious and energizing. The future occupants of this building will be burdened with the best sort of responsibility. But this banal description does not do the work justice; get yourself there, gentle reader! At a time when we are all besotted with the ever expanding world of high-tech wonders, it is heartening to find a building (or other work) that has the courage to confront and even deny the spirit of the time in which it is built. Can stacks of bricks and simple concrete walls suggest an alternative to the overwhelming technological vortex in which we are all caught up? We are fortunate that the University’s largesse allows for the production of buildings such as The Andlinger Center, which, through its mighty emphasis on the primacy of the poetic artifact, provides the perfect antidote and is nothing short of thrilling.

Why Was A-Rated St. Francis Medical Center In Trenton Not Listed in Article on Hospitals?

To the Editor: I read with some wonder the article in the november 4 Town Topics regarding hospital quality scores just published for the Leapfrog hospital survey [“safety Grades for Local hospitals Are made Public”]. most of the hospitals in mercer County were listed and the scores were B’s and C’s. Why was st. Francis medical Center in Trenton, the only hospital in mercer County that scored an A, not listed? This was not an isolated A — st. Francis has a track record of receiving the top grade. This is all the more puzzling since st Francis is the only hospital in mercer County designated by the state with a Certificate of need (COn) to perform cardiac surgery. I would think that patients in the county with cardiac conditions would be particularly interested in the stellar score from Leapfrog for the only hospital in the county which performs both traditional cardiac surgery as well as minimally invasive (robot assisted) cardiac surgery. mAry C.

In addition, leaves are nature’s mulch. They keep the ground cool and moist in summer. Birds search underneath them for food. Fireflies lay their eggs under leaves. “Cleaning” a yard of leaves means cleaning the neighborhood of birds and fireflies. This year, I have sought to make the invisible visible. To assess best practices, I urged our town officials to document all the costs associated with cleaning up the yearround piling of leaves, yardwaste, and brush in the streets. I suggested we demonstrate “leave the leaves” management in the local parks, by mowing leaves back into the turf, and have demonstration leaf corrals homeowners could emulate in their own yards. Then I realized that, living on a busy street, I could model beneficial behavior right in my front yard. There is now a leaf corral next to the sidewalk on north harrison street, on the way to the shopping center, filled with leaves. As the leaves settle, I add more. It’s about the size and shape of a wishing well, and if you think about it, a leaf corral is like a well in reverse. A well gives us an ongoing supply of cool, clean water from the giving earth. A leaf corral represents a giving back, a means of steadily feeding nutrients back into the ground from which they came. To help make visible another hidden, but highly positive legacy, that of Princeton’s visionary mathematician and open space pioneer, Oswald Veblen, I am offering to sell and help install at cost a leaf corral in the yard of anyone who makes a donation of any size to the Friends of herrontown Woods, the nonprofit group working to rehabilitate the historic house and cottage that the Veblens donated long ago to the public trust. This project, too, represents a giving back, to a quiet legacy that so influenced the Princeton we know and love. sTEVE hILTnEr President, Friends of herrontown Woods, north harrison street

Taking Issue With Recent Letter Critical Of Ordinance Mandating Paid Sick Leave,

wealth gaps, automotive and other industry governance scandals, mass incarceration, water scarcity, and more. These are the issues of the day and without investors providing the financial backing to those creating these problems, they would not be the crises that they are. (As I have learned from more than 30 years of studying responsible finance, nothing ever happens without funding.) now, no one is accusing those who do not abide by the UnPrI of ill will. Unfortunately, many investors believe that the impact of investments should not be of concern when building a portfolio; profit earned should be the only criterion. This view drove both political and economic change in the 1980s worldwide. It has since become widespread and its trajectory has continued, leading to most of the ills from which our global society suffers today. Changing this trajectory is the goal of the UnPrI and many people believe that Princeton University should adhere to the same principles of responsible investment. I encourage all to learn more about how their own IrAs, 401(k)s, 529s, and other investments are being managed with regard to EsG issues and the UnPrI. As well, if you know someone associated with the Trustees of Princeton University, I encourage you to share with them your thoughts about PU signing the United nations Principles for responsible Investment.

To the Editor: I read scott sipprelle’s letter on the subject of paid sick leave [“Alerting Princeton to Ordinance mandating That Private sector Employers Offer Paid sick Leave,” mailbox, nov. 4], and I looked forward to a response from someone more informed than myself regarding some of the issues that he raised. since that didn’t happen, I feel obliged to take issue with him on several aspects of his argument against the proposed ordinance requiring local employers to provide paid sick leave.

BOOK REVIEW

Paris Shines On: Lou Reed at the Bataclan, Rimbaud on the Boulevards

n Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer, Paris is a “cradle” in which “each one slips back into his soil: one dreams back to Berlin, New York, Chicago, Vienna, Minsk. Vienna is never more Vienna than in Paris” — which could also be said of cities everywhere, including Cairo and Damascus, Istanbul, Aleppo, and Baghdad. In Paris, Miller adds, “Everything is raised to apotheosis. The cradle gives up its babes and new ones take their places … where Zola lived and Balzac and Dante and Strindberg and everybody who ever was anything. Everyone has lived here some time or other. Nobody dies here.” Given what happened in the 10th and 11th arrondisements last week, it might be best to tactfully qualify that last statement as typical over-the-top Henry Miller, nothing halfway, no cautionary limits, “everything merry and bright,” damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Except that, as anyone who saw the dead live again in Midnight in Paris knows, Miller is making an aesthetic point, an indelible point. It may be that no city on earth so magnificently represents the human capacity for embellished denial. Against the grim facts of that horrible Friday, one could shout a litany of defiance wholly composed of the street and place names of the City of Light, Right Bank, Left Bank, and all around the town, including the targeted cafes on the boulevard Beaumarchais, where the indefatigable Henry Miller first encountered a streetwalker named Germaine (“There was a touch of spring in the air, a poisonous, malefic spring that seemed to burst from the manholes”) and no. 50 boulevard Voltaire, where stands the 150-yearold oriental fairytale that was named for an Offenbach operetta called Ba-Ta-Clan, which is set in Ché-i-no-or amid pagodas and kiosks in the gardens of the palace of the Emperor Fè-ni-han. The Portals of Where In her memoir M Train, Patti Smith speaks of “the portals of where.” Gaze through the portals of the internet and you’ll find a video of a 2009 performance at the Bataclan by the same California band that was playing the night of the attacks, the audience pressed against a stage criss-crossed with beams of red light that at times light up the elaborately sculpted ceiling, people crowding close, surging forward, arms raised, waving, hands pumping the air — the familiar caricature of rock concert ecstasy six years before Friday’s massacre. Like many others, I’d never heard of the Eagles of Death Metal, had no idea that the name was a whimsical hybrid of the Eagles and extreme heavy metal (see the primer about the band on yahoo. com). But I had no problem recognizing the strikingly youthful face of Lou Reed in another online portal looking in on the

Bataclan in 1972 where the rock legend is softly singing, breathing, intimately intoning, “when the blood begins to flow … when I’m closing in on death,” words that have obvious coincidental resonance today. Looking as “young and bold” at 30 as one of the schoolgirls in Van Morrison’s “Cyprus Avenue,” Reed is miming the rush in “Heroin,” pushing the tempo into overdrive while John Cale plays dirge-like Velvet-style accompaniment on electric viola and Nico sits gazing, in a trance. There’s no sign of an audience until the clapping and cheering that follows each song. After Lou Reed inscribes the film noir fabric of the scene by exhaling a perfectly cinematic stream of cigarette smoke, John Cale sings “Ghost Story” from his memorable 1970 solo album, Vintage Violence (“It’ll haunt you for the rest of your life”).

The Chosen City Playing that gig in so fanciful and historic a locale, Lou Reed was surely aware that his hero Rimbaud could have been haunting the same neighborhood a hundred years before. Open the online portal to www.mag4.net and it’s May 1871, the time of the Paris Commune when the Bataclan was six years old and Rimbaud had been in and out of town from Charleville long enough to write “Parisian Orgy,” where in the glory of his adolescent arrogance he swallows the tortured city whole and spews it in the reader’s face: “O cowards, there she is! Pile out into the stations!/ The sun with its fiery lungs blew clear/The boulevards that one evening the Barbarians filled./Here is the holy City, seated in the West!” Then, calling to us across the years: “Come! We’ll stave off the return of the fires/Here are the quays, here are the boulevards,” here the houses lit by “the red flashes of bombs” as the outrageous youth goes on to tell us to look, to listen, to be mad, comical, wild-eyed,

the corner on rue Descartes). Run by the comely Madame Fortin, the pensione was a real find, hidden away behind a high, wide wooden gate. The cost was unthinkably fair. But that was in the early 1970s, when Lou Reed and John Cale were playing at the Bataclan. Every morning we’d have breakfast at Cafe Chope on the Place Contrescarpe, at the top of rue Mouffetard, a street referred to in Hemingway’s Movable Feast, and George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London. People in the French capital, like people in New York, often give the impression of channeling characters in a book or a film. On more than one morning at Cafe Chope, which is near the site of a tavern frequented by Rabelais and just a whisper away from the pensione that inspired the one in Balzac’s Pere Goriot, we were entertained by a dancing, doublejointed, bearded man in a caved-in cowboy hat brandishing a pistol and a tin bowl, “holding up” everyone within range of his antics.

If we missed out on the Velvets at the Bataclan, it was only because in those years our Paris was movies, movies, movies, a city where every street seemed to have its cinema, some named after stars, from Garbo to Bogart to Jerry Lewis. We averaged three to four films a day, which meant many rides on the Metro or the No. 63 bus across the city to the Trocadero and Cinémathèque francaise, where the river of film never stopped flowing. Day and night we were drawn to the Musée du Cinéma and to see what? American films from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. It seemed perverse, if not downright crazy, to escape from the U.S.A. to spend our time seeing Hollywood rarities in Paris (one of which was Frank Capra’s American Madness, in fact), but being there added an afterglow. As Henry Miller would say, Hollywood is never more Hollywood than in Paris. ur last time in the City of Light began with a viewing of Chaplin’s City Lights in the Cinéma Denfert (since renamed Cinéma Chaplin), a cramped venue on Place Denfert-Rochereau, where the sculpture of the lion was being restored and there were carnival booths, with a Punch and Judy show in progress. It was a cozy, step-down-into-it theater you entered through a tiny balcony that seemed to nudge a screen resembling the sail of a dismantled ship. The effect was as if the screen were alive with light, the image moving on the air, the visual equivalent of an aeolian harp accompanying the closing moment — Chaplin’s stirring, heart-laid-bare smile, the flower girl’s look of astonished disbelief, two phantom presences at once so moved and so moving, that a moment filmed in California in 1931 came to life 40 years later in Paris, where “Everyone has lived some time or other,” and “Nobody dies,” and where, from 1926 to 1969, the theatre Bataclan was a cinema. —Stuart Mitchner

I’ve also been reading Eric Hazen’s The Invention of Paris (Verso 2011); time-traveling through the photography of Charles Marville (National Gallery of Art/Univ. of Chicago Press 2014); and, of course, rereading passages from Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (1934). The photograph of the Bataclan is from the wikipedia entry, which also includes a circa 1900 photograph of the building complete with its original pagoda roof. Apparently the term comes from the expression “tout le bataclan (the whole caboodle).”

Teens’ vulnerability to stress, drugs, sleep deficit, and environmental changes will also be covered. Elizabeth Kolbert in The New Yorker writes, “At moments of extreme exasperation, parents may think that there’s something wrong with their teenagers’ brains.

Chamber Awards Grants To Four Local Nonprofits

The Princeton Regional C h a m b e r of C o m m e r c e Community Development Fund awarded $30,000 in grants to four local nonprofit organizations at its November luncheon. “With these grants, the Chamber is investing in our region by providing financial support for the vital work of these outstanding community-based organizations,” said John Thurber, Chairman of the Board for Chamber. “The Chamber’s role in making these community development grants is unique and reflects our commitment to strengthen the communities in our region.” The 2015 grant recipients are The Crisis Ministry

Self-Sufficiency program, the Latin American Legal Defense Fund for their Jobs Mercer Project, the YMCA Princeton for their Princeton Young Achievers Program, and the Every Child Valued for their Rising Above Expectations After School Program. “The committee had a deep and exceptional pool of grant applicants from which to choose this year. We are excited to have been able to provide support for these four programs that are all excellent examples of the fine work that non-profit groups in the region are doing every day,” said Kristin Appelget, Chairwoman of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Com merce’s Com mu n it y Development Fund. “Since the Community Development Fund was launched in 2013 we have awarded over $90,000 in grants to worthy not-for-profit organizations that are making a difference each and every day in the lives of our residents.” The Princeton Regional C h a m b e r of C o m m e r c e Foundation and the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce established the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce Community Development Fund in partnership with the Princeton Area Community Foundation in July of 2013 with a $500,000 gift from the Chamber Foundation to benefit nonprofit groups located throughout the Chamber’s five- count y, central New Jersey footprint. Grants are given annually to the most promising programs that address one or more of the Fund’s focus areas: education, leadership, economic opportunity and development, and self-sufficiency. “The PRCCC Foundation is proud to have given the $500,000 seed money to provide these ongoing grants for years to come,” said Melissa Tenzer, President of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation. “My board is pleased that we

On Friday, November 27 at the Michener Art Museum, noted photographer Paul Grand will lead a gallery talk for the exhibition, Paul Grand: Beyond the Surface. The talk, free with museum admission, will run from 1 to 2 p.m. All are invited to stay for a follow-up chat with the artist. Tickets for the event can be ordered online at www.michenermuseum.org. Following his career with Colgate - Palmolive, Pau l Grand immersed himself in the world of photography, capturing images that focus on color, contrast, architectural renderings, light and shadow, texture, and imper vious surfaces. His photography approach is reminiscent of painters like Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. Grand’s travels to Morocco, India, and Mexico influence much of his work, which tends to capture industrial objects rather than people. The Paul Grand: Beyond the Surface exhibition will be on display through February 7, 2016 at the Michener. The Museum hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m. ———

“ACCIDENTAL ABSURDITY”: This untitled work, a transfer process on graph paper, is one of 60 works by Vagrich Bakhchanyan on view in the “Accidental Absurdity” exhibition at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers. The majority of the material is drawn from the Zimmerli’s Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union — the largest and most comprehensive collection of dissident Soviet art in the world, which includes the work of such notables as Ilya Kabakov, Victor Pivovarov, Vitaly Komar, and Alexander Melamid. Bakhchanyan was a Soviet and American painter, artist, and poet whose work reflects his keen sensitivity to the absurdities of the Soviet regime. The exhibition will be on display until March 6. The museum is located at 71 Hamilton Street (at George Street) on the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The Zimmerli Art Museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m., and the first Tuesday of each month, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. The museum is closed Mondays and major holidays.

Member Highlight Show Features Arturo Cabrera

About two years ago, Arturo Cabrera was a familiar face at the Hunterdon Art Museum (HAM) as a summer camp coordinator overseeing volunteers and managing supplies. But when Cabrera returns to the Museum this month, his visit will be for an entirely different purpose. Cabrera was chosen last year from the Museum’s Members Exhibition for a solo show, which will run until January 3, 2016. Juror Darren McManus, a painter and educator at Raritan Valley Community College, selected Cabrera to be featured in the 2015 Members Highlight exhibition. “I am ver y humbled, grateful and happy to have this opportunity,” said the Ecuadorean-born painter, who graduated from Lehigh Valley Charter High School of the Performing Arts in 2012. “I still can’t believe it to be honest. I have such respect for the Museum and what they do for the community. Their shows are always so inspiring, interesting, and beautiful.” Since spending his summer days at HAM, Cabrera has immersed himself in the arts, working as a color mixer in the studio of renowned artist Jeff Koons. Cabrera’s work employs portraiture to reveal larger themes such as his concerns for social justice or more private, intimate moments. “I hope the exhibition helps viewers see that a painting can be more than just a pretty picture, but can be more

Dark Surrealistic Comedy, “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo,” Shows Hell of War From Tiger, Human, and Eternal Perspectives

he legacy of Saddam Hussein and the repercussions of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq continue to haunt us. Playwright Rajiv Joseph, who understands the power of ghosts and the inexorable reverberations of violence and corruption, would not be surprised. Mr. Joseph’s Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo (2009) is a war story, a dark comedy, with much more darkness than humor. Set in Baghdad in 2003, the first days of the Iraq War, the play is strikingly, shockingly realistic in its depictions of the brutalities of war and its effects on all parties involved. But it is also disturbingly surrealistic, with ghosts gradually taking over the stage from live characters, and an eloquent, acerbic, philosophical tiger presiding over the proceedings. All of the characters here are struggling to survive in a horrific wartime environment, and their chances of doing so, without losing all dignity and morality, are very slim indeed. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo enjoyed a short, successful limited run on Broadway in 2011 with Robin Williams in the title role. The play’s bid for transcendence comes in its rich characterizations, its imaginative perspectives on Baghdad, war and the world, and in the brilliant device of the commentator-tiger seeking understanding and wisdom amidst the desolation. The Tiger repeatedly begging god to speak, to explain his mysteries and to finally come tend to his devastated garden. The story of Bengal Tiger is based on an actual reported incident at the Baghdad Zoo, involving U.S. soldiers, Iraqi police, a drunken party, and the careless shooting of a rare Bengal tiger. In the first scene of Mr. Joseph’s 11-scene, two-act play, the loquacious, bold Tiger (Victoria Davidjohn) bites off the hand of the seasoned, hardened marine Tom (Matt Chuckran), then is shot and killed by Tom’s impetuous young buddy Kev (Max Feldman). The Tiger becomes a ghost, freed from his cage to haunt Kev, wander the streets of Baghdad and oversee the action of the rest of the play. Kev, suffering from stress and trauma, is sent to the hospital where he is visited by Tom, who, after surgery and leave, has returned with a prosthetic hand. Tom is determined to reclaim a golden gun that he left with Kev and a golden toilet seat that he hid in the desert, both of which he took from the palace of Saddam Hussein’s son Uday (Marcelo Jaimes Lukes).

Kev dies in the hospital in the suicidal act of cutting his own hand off, and he transforms into an enlightened ghost of his former self, haunting his greedy friend Tom. Meanwhile the golden gun has fallen into the hands of Musa (Charlie Cohen), an Iraqi translator who works with the Americans but used to be Uday Hussein’s gardener. The coarse, brutal Uday, who was killed by U.S. troops and is now in ghostly form, carrying around his brother Qusay’s head in a plastic bag, taunts Musa with details of the rape and murder of Musa’s young sister Hadia (Lydia Watt) and urges the troubled gardener to embrace the violence and corruption that the war has brought on. The Intime undergraduate company, under the direction of Princeton University senior Mariel VanLandingham, takes on this demanding play with high energy, thoughtful, creative flair, and significant skill. The characterizations are three-dimensional and convincing. These actors handle the intense realism, the switches between realism and surrealism, the Arabic language, and the shifting emotional terrain with intelligence and understanding. Mr. Feldman’s boyish marine is both hu-

morous and appropriately frightening in his ignorance in the first act, then sympathetic as a wiser, more mature ghost in the second act. Mr. Chuckran plays a chillingly harsh military figure, as he spirals deeper and deeper into his greed and brutality in his pursuit of the golden gun and toilet seat. Mr. Cohen’s Musa, acted with subtlety and sensitivity, is the most sympathetic character in the play, as he first enjoys his explorations in translating the English language, but suffers deeply the abuses of both the Hussein regime and the American soldiers. He gradually falls victim to the depredations and corruptions of his environment. As the gardener, struggling to repair his elaborate topiary garden, he represents both god and the artist, facing inevitable defeat in the malevolent, wartorn world. Mr. Lukes is strong and frighteningly, satanically memorable as the malevolent Uday. Ms. Watt’s affectingly innocent Hadia and also another unnamed Iraqi girl and Anna Zabel’s Iraqi Woman in the first act and wise Leper in the second act are poignant, on-target portrayals.

gerish khaki shirt, white pants, and sandals, Ms. Davidjohn prowls confidently through the 11 scenes of the play, often ill-humored and foul-mouthed, often comical in her addresses to god and in her philosophical ruminations. A bit more volume, projection, and energy at key moments would help this Tiger to take full control of the stage. The design elements here coordinate dynamically with the text and the rest of the production to create the dark poetic landscape of the world of the play. Annabel Barry’s set — earth-colored walls with graffiti in Arabic, an open archway upstage center, and a topiary garden with wire mesh covered in greenery to depict a large elephant, giraffe, and horse — represents the garden at Uday’s palace tended by Musa and also, symbolically, the garden of the world that god seems to have created and neglected. Lighting by Marissa Applegate helps to establish the dark, eerie mood of the play, with many subtle, effective shifts in color and intensity to move from realistic to surrealistic and also to designate changes in scene. The scenes run smoothly, and the action proceeds swiftly as the ghosts proliferate during the two-hour running time of the play. Ms. VanLandingham has staged the action clearly and vividly — no small feat, as Mr. Joseph’s story does meander in the second act, with character development and philosophical exploration taking precedence over plot. Occasional problems with sightlines — a downstage table that blocks the view of characters upstage — and some delays in set changing are only minor distractions. Emma Claire Jones’s costumes — realistic marine fatigues for the soldiers, traditional garb for the Iraqi women, contemporary attire for Uday and Musa and casual “human” garb for the Tiger — all serve well the purposes of the drama. hen an atheist suddenly finds herself walking around after death, she has got some serious re-evaluating to do,” the Tiger tells us. As the Muslim call to prayer rings out in the background in the play’s final moments, the audience, regardless of religious affiliation, might well ponder, along with Mr. Joseph’s Tiger, the big questions of existence in a world such as this. “Listen!” as the Tiger urges and questions. “Calling out to god in this mess. god. Can you believe it?” —Donald Gilpin

Inspirational Biopic Recounts Abbreviated Career of Gridiron Great

But the pint-sized safety made up for what he always give 110 percent, and as a consequence, he was recruited from high school by Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart), the legendary coach of the University of Texas (UT) Longhorns. At UT, Freddie helped lead the team to the national title during the 1969 season when they had an undefeated season. Unfortunately, Freddie’s euphoria was short-lived, because he received some very grim news from the doctor just a couple days after spearheading a come-from-behind victory over Arkansas in a game that was considered “The Game of the Century.” He had been playing with pain for weeks, and the nagging leg injury that he had been ignoring turned out to be cancer. Suddenly, Freddie found himself facing the toughest battle of his life. But luckily, he had the support of his family and friends, especially Coach Royal, teammates Bobby (Rett Terrell) and James (Juston Street), and his high school and college sweetheart, Linda (Sarah Bolger). Freddie Steinmark’s abbreviated career and his ensuing fight against cancer that cost him his leg, and then his life, is the subject of My All American, a biopic written and directed by Angelo Pizzo. Although the movie is Pizzo’s directorial debut, he has written screenplays for similar dramas, such as Hoosiers (1986), Rudy (1993), and The Game of Their Lives (2005).

amilton Jewelers has been a showcase — not only for quality — but for a family-owned and operated business since its founding in 1912. It is a true success story. Guided by former owner the late Irving Siegel, his son Martin Siegel, and now Irving’s grandson Hank Siegel, president and CEO, it continues to thrive. In an age when many establishments no longer stand the test of time, this is a special achievement.

IT’S NEW To Us

As Martin Siegel has noted, “I started to help my dad in the business when I was 12 years old. I never thought of doing anything else. I came into the business formally in 1955, and now my son Hank is president and CEO. It has meant more than I ever expected to have the family business continue. It’s the dream of a father, passed on to a son and grandson.” And now, in addition to Hamilton’s four stores in Princeton, Red Bank, Palm Springs, and Palm Springs Gardens in Florida, H1912, has recently opened in the former location of Forest Jewelers at 104 Nassau Street. The focus is on vintage and estate jewelry. Industrial Chic “We saw an opportunity in the market to emphasize our one-of-a-kind vintage pieces,” explains Anne Russell, Hamilton’s vice president, merchandising. “This space gave us a chance to do something different. We have a different product mix in a different environment.” A “different” look highlights the decor of the new establishment as well, she adds. “We wanted industrial chic, a more modern feeling, which offers a nice juxtaposition to the vintage jewelry.” Gray tones predominate in the store, including the floor, walls, and ceiling. Track lighting offers a contrast to a more elaborate chandelier, and overall, there is a nice sense of space, which is enhanced by the sleek and modern emphasis in the relatively small setting. The store is appealing on many levels, and accessible on many levels. Displays are attractively presented, and include “walkup” cases. “They are actually on the wall, explains Ms. Russell, “so you don’t constantly have to look down to see the items.” The selection includes an array of vintage jewelry and watches, with rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces all on display. “Each piece is unique, and each has a story

and a history,” reports Ms. Russell. “They’re telling the story of a period. Everything is authenticated and restored, and like antiques, they get better with time!” There is a nice mix of items, she adds. “We have designer pieces and precious jewelry in all categories. Signed pieces, Victorian pieces, and Art Deco and Art Nouveau are all represented.” Strand of Pearls Categories are conveniently identified for customers according to age and period: Art Nouveau 1839-1905; Art Deco 1915-1935; Contemporary 1980-current. Each piece has been inspected by a jewelry or watch professional, issued a certificate of authenticity, and given a one-year warranty. Whether a customer is looking for a strand of pearls with matching earrings, a classic cameo, a Chanel gold bracelet, or an engagement ring, H1912 can provide a number of choices. “The most popular time to get engaged is right before Christmas,” points out Ms. Russell. “We have engagement rings in all styles and at all price points, including from $595.” In addition, she reports, giving an older piece a new look is often popular with customers. For example, converting pins and brooches into pendants is highly desirable now. “It’s a special way you can make the piece your own.” Among H1912’s vintage selection are such items as a Chanel gold tone charm bracelet, Chanel gold tone

pendant, signed Cartier 18k gold Figaro necklace, and 14k gold and blue cameo ring, among many other choices. Men’s jewelry, including vintage rings and bracelets, is also available, as is a large selection of watches from Tag Heuer, Rolex, Cartier, Breitling, and Hermes. Women’s watches are also offered. Service Department H1912 also has a selection of found objects, including an antique farm table and a rustic oversized antique wall clock. Ms. Russell adds that the store has a service department, offering jewelry and watch repair and cleaning. “We also buy pieces from people who are interested in selling an older item. We are so encouraged with the response to the store in all areas. All ages are coming in, and many people say the store reminds them of New York.” She adds that being part of Hamilton and the new store is very special for her. “I’ve been with Hamilton for eight years, and it has been a privilege. I have learned so much from them. Jewelry is important. It’s given for an occasion, a special moment in life. A birthday, an engagement, an anniversary. And it can be passed down from generation to generation. It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate these special moments with customers. We are really about making people happy here. “We also have a wonderful team — very energetic and knowledgeable. Jayne Hernandez, our store director, is

an expert, and we all do our best to help the customers.” In addition Hamilton has long been active in supporting the community, she notes. “They have always been ver y committed to giving back. This store features a different charity each month throughout the year, and a portion of every sale goes to that charity.” Ms. Russell looks forward to continuing the Hamilton tradition in all ways, and is sure that H1912 will become a mainstay of that tradition. “I do want to encourage customers to come in often,” she adds. “We get a new piece every day, and each has a story. And because everything has been so popular, something that is here today may be gone tomorrow!” H1912 is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursday and Friday until 8, and Sunday 12 to 5.

With Battle-Tested Senior Sura Serving as Catalyst, PU Women’s Soccer Rolls Past BC in NCAA Opener

n 2012, Emily Sura was part of the supporting cast as the Princeton University women’s soccer team competed in the NCAA tournament. “Being there as a freshman, the leadership we had on the team was unbelievable,” said Sura, reflecting on the tourney run which saw Tigers top West Virginia 2-1 in the first round before falling 3-1 to Marquette in the Round of 32. “It was unreal, the seniors carried us the whole way through; they had a class of nine unbelievable girls.” Last Saturday as Princeton returned to the NCAA tourney by hosting Boston College in an opening round contest at Roberts Stadium, senior defender and co-captain Sura was looking to apply some of the lessons she soaked up in 2012. “Just to be able to see that and how that had taken us so far, I was just trying to emulate that being a senior now,” said Sura, a native of Austin, Texas who earned secondteam All-Ivy League honors this fall. Sura provided some special senior leadership on Saturday, chipping in a career-high three assists as Princeton defeated Boston College 4-2. The Tigers, now 14-3-1 overall and 12-0-1 in their last 13 contests, will face No. 11 University of Southern California (14-5-2 overall) in the Round of 32 in Charlottesville, Va. on November 20. Princeton rode the emotion of a raucous throng of 965 as it withstood some early pressure from BC to jump out to a 1-0 lead when Sura curled a cross into the box that freshman star Mimi Asom buried into the back of the net 22:36 into the contest. “When we scored, I have never heard a roar like that,” said Sura. “I had goosebumps that whole game. There is no way that can’t have an impact on you. Being at home and just having this atmosphere is unbelievable. I think it helped us a ton.” The Tigers gave their fans plenty to cheer about with a first half explosion that saw them jump out to a 3-1 lead by intermission as Asom scored a second tally 12 minutes after her initial score and junior star Tyler Lussi blasted in a volley with 3:29 left in the half. “Coming off of Penn (a 0-0 tie on November 7), we didn’t get any goals, I think we were just really hungry to score some goals and it showed,” said Sura, who picked up an assist on Asom’s second goal. “I think everything just came together. I think that is the best I have ever seen our attack play. Everything was perfect, that first half was amazing. It just all came

together, it was really, really exciting.” In the second half, the Tigers didn’t waste time going on the attack as Lussi headed in a corner kick from Sura to put Princeton up 4-1 at the 49:20 mark. “They are a good team and I think they came in here underestimating us,” said Sura. “So at halftime, they were like shoot we are losing to Princeton and they definitely came out with some momentum as we expected. To score that fourth goal, I think that solidified what we were doing and took the wind out of their sails so they weren’t able to pick that momentum back up.” Reflecting on a season which has seen the Tigers go 12-0-1 after a 2-3 start, Sura is thrilled with how Princeton has gotten it done. “I can’t even put it into words, this team is amazing,” said Sura. “We are a small team so it is just like this family. We talked before the game and said let’s just have fun. This is just fun at this point, there is no pressure on us. To be able to be in that position and to come out and not only beat BC but to really put on a show for an audience, it was amazing.” It was an amazing final home game for Sura, who was sidelined for most of her sophomore and junior seasons due to a hip injury. “I am fine with going out this way, “ said a grinning Sura, “People dream to get the bid and to beat BC like this, it is crazy. It means so much.” In the view of Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll, the fan support at Roberts Stadium on Saturday helped the Tigers come out on fire. “I think it is always great to play at home, it is a testament to our body of work over the season that we were given the opportunity to host a game,” said Driscoll. “It was a big, big deal for us. I was really excited about it and I think the crowd was a major influence on the game with all the teams that showed up, the student body and people from town, it was unbelievable.” Princeton responded with some of its best work of the fall on the offensive end. “The first 10 minutes, I thought we were very good and then they came back into the game,” said Driscoll. “It was a back-and-forth first half and then I thought at the 20-minute mark, we kind of asserted ourselves and the kids played the best half of soccer we have had all season.

To be in the position that we were at the end of the half was unbelievable.” The one-two punch of Asom and Lussi put the Tigers in position for the victory. “Going into this game it was about the forwards, their forwards are exceptional and our forwards are exceptional,” said Driscoll. “We were just a little bit better today. Mimi was on fire. Tyler is a big-time player. She is relentless, her fitness level is off the charts and she is the most driven soccer player I have ever coached. She just wants to win more than anything, she does everything you can possibly ask of a player.” Driscoll got all he could ask from Sura as well. “Emmie has been the heart and soul of the team this year,” said Driscoll. “She came back from being GETTING THEIR KICKS: Princeton University women’s soccer out two years, she has really players Tyler Lussi, left, and Mimi Asom, center, celebrate done a fantastic job.

When the Princeton University field hockey team played at Maryland in late September, it fell behind 2-0 on the way to a 3-0 loss at the hands of the Terps. Last Saturday, the teams met for a rematch in the opening round of the NCAA tournament at Syracuse and Princeton head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn had the sense that her squad was primed for the challenge. “We are just a very different team than we were in September,” said HolmesWinn.

“Our platform is trying to get better every day. If we stay true to that, we will be a different team in November and that’s what we brought to the field on Saturday.” Things were much different in round two as 16thranked Princeton jumped out to a 2-0 lead by halftime and held off No. 5 Maryland to earn a 3-1 victory. “We had four freshmen start at the beginning of the season and I think the big difference for us is that they are not freshmen any more,” said Holmes-Winn.

TURNING THE TABLES: Princeton University field hockey player Sophia Tornetta races up the field in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, freshman midfielder Tornetta scored two goals to help 16th-ranked Princeton upset No. 5 Maryland 3-1 in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. In late September, Princeton had lost 3-1 to the Terps in a regular season contest. On Sunday, the Tigers couldn’t get the offense going as they fell 5-0 to No. 2 Syracuse in the NCAA quarterfinals. The defeat left Princeton with a final record of 11-7. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

“They played like upperclassmen on Saturday and that is what we needed in order to come away with a win.” Freshman midfielder Sophia Tornetta played exceptionally well in the win, tallying two goals. “She is the engine on our team, she really runs the midfield, literally and figuratively,” said Holmes-Winn of Tornetta, the Ivy League Rookie of the Year and a first-team All-Ivy selection who had five goals and nine assists in regular season play. “It is just end-to-end play with an incredible work rate and a very good understanding of how she can be helpful on both sides of the ball. She just does it, she doesn’t hesitate. She had been pivotal for us all year.” Tiger veterans came through when another freshman standout, All-Ivy defender Elise Wong, went down with an injury early in the Maryland contest. “Our back line, Kate Ferrara, Debi Jantzen, Cat Caro, and goalie Anya Gersoff were spectacular,” asserted Holmes-Winn. “The players adapted and adjusted really well against Maryland. We were able to sustain pressure but also create really good chances. It was a great performance.” The win snapped a fivega m e lo s i n g s t r e a k for Princeton against Maryland as it advanced to the NCAA quarters for the 14th time. “We try not to think too much about history, you have to go into the game and give your best and sometimes it is enough and sometimes it isn’t,” said Holmes-Winn. “We had to put our best effort forward. We thought a lot about our recovery, making sure that we can be as clear-minded as possible and as physically ready as possible. We try to bring that to the field every match so on that day, our best was enough.” A d a y l a t e r, t h o u g h ,

Princeton’s best was not nearly good enough as it fell 5-0 to No. 2 Syracuse. “We gave a good effort but Syracuse was just too good; I think our youth kind of came through on Sunday,” said Holmes-Winn, whose team was outshot 28-6 by the Orange in the defeat as it ended the fall with an 11-7 record. “Syracuse was really able to pick us apart, we just could never get the pressure on the ball that we needed to. I think that was partly mental, t hat was par tly physical. They were just really classy; that was the best performance I have seen at the collegiate level in my entire time coaching. I think they would have beaten the national team. They were just so good on Sunday, they

are a very, very good team and they really put it together. It was an exceptional performance by Syracuse, we just couldn’t keep up.” Reflecting on the season overall, Holmes-Winn was proud of how things came together for the Tigers. “I think we started the season 20th in the country and finished eighth, which is huge,” said Holmes-Winn. “Our R PI ( Rating Percentage Index) is eighth in the country right now, that shows great progress over the season. I loved how our seniors (Teresa Benvenuti, Maddie Copeland, Saskia deQuant, Ferrara, Gersoff, and Jantzen) all developed over the course of the seas on. E ach one of t hem emerged in different ways to help us. Our ultimate goal

is to maximize our potential in a season and I think we absolutely did that. I am very proud of the team, they put everything into it, which is all that I could ask as their coach.” Looking ahead, HolmesWinn believes that the Tigers have the potential to do some big things next fall. “I think we have an incredible class coming in and some sensational players returning,” asserted HolmesWinn. “I think we have reason to be very optimistic for the future. We have really hard workers. I just have so much faith in that; I just know that they are going to put the work in. To not have to worry about that is a good place to be for sure.” —Bill Alden

Freshman Guard Cannady Comes Up Big in Debut As Tiger Men’s Hoops Opens With Victory at Rider Devin Cannady was rushing things as he made his debut for the Princeton University men’s basketball team when it played at Rider last Friday in its season opener. The freshman guard missed both of his shots from the field in the first half and had just two points on two free throws heading into intermission. “I think in the first half having two points, I was a little sporadic, I sped myself up,” said Cannady. “With the leaders and the veteran team that we have, they brought me in and said calm down, take your shots, we have confidence in you.” That encouragement paid dividends as Cannady poured in 15 points in the second half, helping the Ti-

gers pull away to a 64-56 win over the Broncs. “They had confidence in me and that gave me confidence in myself,” said Cannady, went 4-of-8 from the floor, including three 3-pointers, and 6-of-6 from the line for his 17 points. “I learned that at least I can play this game.” For Cannady, the biggest challenge in moving up to college ball has been playing well at the defensive end. “I wasn’t here the past spring, coach and the guys said their main focus going into next year to win a championship and win games is to focus on the defensive end,” said the 6’1, 179-pound Cannady, who hails from Mishawaka, Ind. “So that is what I am trying to bring, hustle on the defense and crashing the boards. On offense I think everything will start flowing.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Mitch Henderson liked the way that Cannady got into the flow against Rider. “He is from Indiana after all,” said fellow Indiana native Henderson with a chuckle. “I thought he was very good. He had a turnover against the press and I expected them to bother us against the press. He responded immediately with a huge three from the top of the key and he made his free throws. He showed leadership for a freshman in his first game. I don’t want him

to get too big of a head but he showed great composure tonight and that is what he does.” The Tigers showed composure collectively as they weathered a storm that saw Rider end the first half with an 8-0 run and then outscore Princeton 15-4 in the first 4:32 after intermission to forge ahead 37-34. “I thought for us that was the key moment in the whole game when they chopped away in a huge way,” said Henderson. “It seemed like everything was at the rim and then all of a sudden there was a 10 -minute stretch where we just stayed with what we were trying to do.” Princeton did some good work on the defensive end, holding the Broncs to 19 points over the last 15 minutes of the contest. “I think what we have really been trying to push is our defensive approach,” said Henderson. “T he guys were really committed to doing what we said defensively. We struggled there last year and it wasn’t pretty tonight but I saw a lot of black jerseys flying around the court. I thought we did a good job of containing them, they are a difficult team to guard.” Junior forward Pete Miller pushed hard in the paint, scoring nine points and pulling down a career-high 12 rebounds, a critical contribution considering that star forward Hans Brase is sidelined for the season with a

knee injury. “Pete is like a lifetime three rebound a game guy and he explodes with a 12-er,” said a smiling Henderson. “I thought Pete was terrific rebounding the ball. That is what we needed him to do and he did it. He was big and active and played like you are supposed to play as a junior.” Another junior who played well for Princeton in the win was guard Spencer Weisz. “He was critical; when Spencer is in the post, he makes us a better team,” said Henderson of Weisz, who had 13 points, six re-

bounds, and a career-high eight assists. “He sees things. He doesn’t look like a point guard but he thinks the game like a coach, like a point guard. I thought he was terrific tonight.” All in all, it was a terrific opening night for the Tigers. “We are evolving here,” said Henderson. “I was really pleased; I think this was a good win over a quality team. We are learning a lot about our group right now.” Cannady, for his part, is primed for another good effort as Princeton plays its

home opener on Saturday against Saint Peter’s at Dillon Gym, its first game at the venerable venue since 1969. “I think regardless of the debut and how I played; I think it was good to get that first game under my belt,” said Cannady. “We play in Dillon next Saturday and I am very excited about that game, playing my first home game. Getting the first game under my belt definitely gave me confidence to play my game and play with the team.” —Bill Alden

New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act: A Powerful Tool for New Jersey Consumers, Homeowners and Tenants

The Consumer Fraud Act has been interpreted to permit homeowners to sue contractors and collect triple damages and their attor-

Recently, I used the Consumer Fraud Act in Mercer County Superior Court to collect triple damages, my attorney’s fees and my court costs on behalf of a client who became ill and was forced to leave her apartment, because of a latent mold condition that the landlord had failed to correct. After I filed a Complaint, the landlord failed to file an answer. I obtained a default judgment, and working with the County sheriff, my client was fully compensated for her losses. I gave the sheriff the addresses of this and other properties owned by the landlord. On the sheriff’s order, the landlord’s current tenants turned over their rent checks so that my client could collect on the judgment. And, the landlord eventually corrected the mold condition that caused my client to become ill. I tell my clients that the Consumer Fraud Act “levels the playing field” for parties who have been wronged or knowingly misled by bad actors in the marketplace. If you want more information about your rights as a consumer, homeowner or tenant, please feel free to contact me for a free consultation.

Modeled on federal legislation enabling the Federal Trade Commission to take action, New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act, enacted in 1960, was one of the first consumer protection statutes passed by a State. New Jersey’s law became a model for subsequent laws in other States. The original law gave authority to the Attorney General to “combat the increasingly widespread practice of defrauding the consumer.” Remarkably, in 1971, the law was amended to create a private right of action for consumers to enforce its provisions. This important change allowed consumers to collect triple damages, their reasonable attorney’s fees, and reasonable costs of suits.

ney’s fees and court costs, where the contractor is found to make a material misrepresentation which results in economic loss to the homeowner. The statute also applies to landlords who promise their tenants that they will address a mold issue or other structural defect in a rented property and then fail to do so.

• CHORAL PERFORMANCES • OPERA •

We, who are lucky enough to call New Jersey home, live in a State that protects its consumers, homeowners and tenants. In the early days of consumer purchases, a buyer in the marketplace was governed by the principle of “buyer beware”, caveat emptor, under the assumption that buyers and sellers had equal responsibility and ability to judge the quality of goods. Proving intent to deceive and a buyer’s reliance on the promises of a merchant or contractor or landlord were difficult and expensive to prove; a typical damage award would be too small to justify the expense of bringing a claim.

After suffering a gruesome ankle injury during his freshman season with the Princeton University football team in 2012, Isaiah Barnes could have given up the sport. “I had a really rough injury freshman year,” said Barnes. “It took basically all of my sophomore year to recover. I had to get another surgery after the season.” But last Saturday, Barnes was one of 28 members of the Class of 2016 who was honored in the program’s annual Senior Day ceremony before Princeton hosted Yale in its home finale. “It has been a long time coming,” said Barnes, a 6’4, 220-pound native of Freeport, N.Y. as he reflected on their pregame ceremony “I am glad that I have been able to contribute to this offense finally. I feel healthy,” T he Pr inceton of fense looked healthy at the outset on Saturday as it produced two long drives in the first quar ter t hat resulted in scores as Trevor Osborne made a seven-yard touchdown reception and DiAndre Atwater scored on a four-yard run as the Tigers jumped out to a 14-0 lead. “We were definitely clicking, the offense was rolling,” said Barnes. “We were picking them apart but then we stuttered out a few times.” After Yale responded with 14 unanswered points of its own, Barnes helped Princeton regain the lead as he snared an 18-yard scoring strike, the first touchdown of his college career. “They called a post and I saw maybe I could get inside of a guy and Chad [Kanoff] threw a good ball and I was able to beat him and make the catch,” recalled Barnes. “It was my first collegiate touchdown. It took a while but it felt really, really good.” By the end of the afternoon, the Tigers didn’t feel good as they ended up losing 35-28 before a crowd of 11,623 at Princeton Stadium, dropping to 5-4 overall and 2-4 Ivy League. “It was a one posses sion game the whole way through,” said Barnes. “I thought we would be able to eke it out. We fought hard but I guess they fought a bit harder. It is tough and it hurts.” Barnes gave Princeton a 28-24 lead late in the third quarter as he scored on a 53-yard touchdown bomb, leaping to pluck the ball out of the air and then racing to the end zone. “That was a good play,” said Barnes. “It was man coverage. Chad gave me a good ball and I was able to get it and come down with it and make a play.” The Tigers took that advantage into the fourth quarter but the Bulldogs got 10 unanswered points on a field goal by Bryan Holmes and a 19-yard touchdown pass from Morgan Rober ts to Robert Clemons to pull out the victory, ruining Barnes’ big day as he ended up with six catches for 151 yards and two touchdowns. “I guess you could say it is the best game of my career,”

said Barnes, who now has a team-high 29 receptions for 429 yards after coming into the season with just two career catches. “But that doesn’t mean much, not winning Senior Day. I really wanted this one really badly for all the seniors. We fought hard each and every week, we just weren’t able to pull it out here.” While Barnes was disappointed with the outcome in his home finale, he is proud of the fight he waged and to be on the field for the contest. “I had never been injured before coming into college and I was pretty down,” said Barnes. “I have been on the up since then and I am glad this year I have been able to do something to show what I have. I didn’t want to go out without a fight. I wanted to contribute to this team. Going through your career, you want to have that satisfaction and gratification from playing and doing something. I was glad that I was finally able to do something.” W h i le P r i n ce ton h e ad coach Bob Surace liked the way his team came out fighting as it built the early 14-0 lead, he acknowledged that it didn’t maximize that early advantage. “We came out of the chute really well; I thought we executed some really good plays early and got a jump on them,” said Surace. “It was really what we wanted to do; we wanted them to have to throw. They had struggled throwing it down the field for most of the game until that last TD. We let them back in.” A frustrated Surace pointed to some defensive lapses and misfortune as the undoing of the Tigers. “We have to be in better position, we have to execute better, we have to tackle better; those things are really important,” said Surace, whose team was outrushed 260 yards to 201 on the afternoon. “For the most part, our

tackling has been terrific all year. We have done a really good job of it. When we do tackle and cause a fumble, they call the play back (an apparent strip and return for a touchdown by Anthony Gaffney). I don’t know what I have done wrong in my life but that is two weeks in a row that the game changes so that is what it is. Our guy is running down the field for a touchdown, it is what it is. Those things are supposed to even out but they didn’t.” Surace was hoping for his seniors to have a better ending in their last home game. “They come out and they work hard and we practice well and everything else,” said Surace, reflecting on the team’s Class of 2016. “I wish we would execute a little better. It doesn’t have to be a lot better, just a little bit better. That is three losses we have had where the game is tied or we are ahead in the fourth quarter and that is frustrating.” Seeing Barnes’ hard work pay off was a highlight of the game for Surace. “We have seen him really emerge this year,” said Surace. “He was certainly coming off a devastating injury freshman year and his sophomore year was ruined with the same thing. Sometimes it takes time. He was a high school quarterback and with missing almost two full years to practice, it takes time to develop that skill. It was really nice to see him make those plays.” While not using it as an excuse, Surace noted that injuries have hampered the Tigers this fall.

“We are really thinned out, you see the number of linebackers that were out and on the defensive line too,” said Surace. “I think it was more because of that than anything else. Is that the reason we didn’t play as well, not completely but it is hard to take Luke Catarius out of the game and it is hard to take Nick Fekula out of the game. He was an outside backer the week before and now he has to play inside.” While Princeton has the chance to be a spoiler in the season finale on Saturday as it plays at Dartmouth (8-1 overall and 5-1 Ivy), who is locked in a three-way tie for first with Harvard and Penn, Surace doesn’t view that as primary motivation. “We are just going to play the next game,” said Surace. “People ask who is the team you hate the most and it is whoever we play that week. It is who you are preparing for, that is the biggest thing. We will go in tomorrow and be sick to our stomachs watching the film but by six we will be ready to go again. We are 5-4 so let’s win our sixth game. You are 3-0, you worry about being 4-0. Those things don’t really affect me at the end of the day. You either win the Ivy League title or you don’t, that is the main goal.” Barnes, for his part, is hoping to end things on a high note with his classmates. “We are all boys, we are all tight, and we are always together,” said Barnes. “It is a great group of guys. It is tough to go out on our home field like this. We have one more chance against Dartmouth to make up for it and we will be together forever.” —Bill Alden

Princeton Women’s Hoops Produces a 2-0 Start As the Multi-Talented Miller Finds the Range Michelle Miller is taking multi-tasking to a higher level this fall during her senior year at Princeton University. In addition to starring for the 25th-ranked Princeton women’s basketball team and working on her senior t he sis, chem is t r y major Miller is applying to medical school and is a finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, having reached the interview stage of the process. “It has been busy,” said Miller, who won Princeton’s Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence award last year. “Since the end of the summer to now, I have had nine med school interviews, which are all at the campus at the medical schools. Over fall break, I had to fly to San Francisco for an interview. It has been a little chaotic. With the Rhodes scholarship, I have a mock interview on Monday.” As a result, Miller has been spending nearly as much time this fall with former Princeton President Shirley

Tilghman as the Tiger hoops coaching staff, “Shirley Tilghman is one of our faculty fellows, she has been great with guiding me in that,” said Miller, referring to the Rhodes application process. “She has been very helpful with my med school stuff. She is helping with my Rhodes mock interview tomorrow, the interview will be next weekend in California. Last Sunday, Miller helped Princeton take care of business on the court, scoring a game-high 24 points as the Tigers defeated Duquesne 94-66 to improve to 2-0. “I think we came out really dialed in with really good intensity on both ends of the floor,” asserted the 5’10 Miller, a native of Pasadena, Calif. “The defense was pretty dialed in. They did make some shots but they are a good shooting team. I think we were contesting things well. I think our offense fed off of our defense. We really had it going on both ends of

the floor.” On t he of fensive end, Miller and classmate Alex Wheatley had their insideout game going as Wheatley starred down low with 16 points and seven rebounds and Miller shot 9-of-15 from the floor, including 3-of-7, from the three-point range. “We definitely want Wheats to be aggressive, she can be that dominant presence for us inside,” said Miller. “She established herself early and that helps me get some inside-out looks and some easier shots.” After shooting just 3-of9 in an 72-34 opening day win over American on Friday night, Miller was looking for her shot against Duquesne. “I just wanted to be aggressive today,” said Miller, who also had five rebounds and four assists in the win. “In the first game, everyone was ramped up and a little nervous. It tends to happen. We started a little slow in that game and got into it a little better in the second half of that game

and carried that over to today’s game.” The Tigers started a little slowly in the second half as they were outscored 19-13 by Duquesne in the third quarter. “They have an experienced team, we also have an experienced team,” added Miller. “I think it is good for us to play quality teams like that. We knew they weren’t going to fold, we knew they were a good team. Having them make a little bit of a run and having us bounce back from that and stay resilient was good for us.” In Miller’s view, it was a good opening weekend for the Tigers, who went 30-0 in regular season play in 201415 and ended with a final record of 31-1 after making it to the second round of the NCAA tourney. “It was a lot of fun, it was great to have our seniors from last year back,” said Miller. “It was really great to see them, obviously we had tremendous success last year.” After scoring 33 points this weekend, Miller is nearing the 1,000-point benchmark of success as she now has 949 points in her Tiger career. “I think that is a testament to the cumulative effort you have put in over four years and I hope to be getting there soon,” said Miller. “I think it will be a nice testament to my whole career but I am definitely more focused on team things.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Courtney Banghart liked the focus displayed by Miller and Wheatley in the victory over Duquesne. “They were really big,” said Banghart. “They are not naturally aggressive people and asking them to be aggressive makes us better. Watching them grow up has been fun.” The Tigers had a lot of fun at the offensive end in the first half, shooting 59.5 percent from the field (22for-37) as they built a 58-32 halftime advantage. “We were solid on our own and better together, that is one of our themes on offense,” said Banghart. “You can’t rely on the offense to get you shots, you have to bring your own piece to the offense and I thought we did a good job of that today.” Princeton was also solid on defense as it held the D u ke s to 36.8 p e r c e nt

shooting (25-for-68). “What I love is after the game against American, we started the next morning’s practice with defensive clips that we didn’t like from the game,” said Banghart. “We want to hold ourselves to our own standard defensively. We didn’t think we defended well even though the score didn’t show that against American. I thought tonight’s defensive effort was tremendous.” Banghart also liked how her team responded when Duquesne played well in the third quarter. “When you play an experienced team, much like we are, they are never going to give up, ever, ever so that is the way it is going to be,” said Banghart. “It is going to be a lot of runs. We got punched in the face a little bit and we came out swinging. When you shoot 50 percent and get 16 offensive boards, it shows how committed and hungry we are. I give a lot of credit to our kids.” Senior star Annie Tarakch ian showed her com mitment to excellence on Sunday, producing another double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. “She is a beast, she is the best,” said a smiling Banghart of Tarakchian. “She plays with such an incredible motor. She is really versatile on offense. She cares about winning, she cares about her teammates. You could see that and that is why she is a crowd favorite. People like watching Annie Tarakchian; she plays hard and she plays the right way.” Princeton got some hard play off the bench from senior forward and tri-captain Taylor Williams. “That was so great, 11 points and 7 rebounds in 17 minutes,” said Banghart.

“She is that fifth senior, she has an important role on this team. She is a captain and she has to make sure that the bench is always ready to help out.” In reflecting on the openi n g we e ke n d , B a n g h a r t acknowledged that she is working on getting a handle on this year’s squad. “I am still getting a feel for this team, I have to admit,” said Banghart. “We have a really talented, really solid senior class. We have a lot of young pieces who are inexperienced and so I am figuring them out a little bit. I thought it was good to see us against someone else. I thought we were able to see how deep we can be on Friday night and on Sunday, we were able to see how good our first group is. This group is hungry so we will get better.” Looking ahead to its next game, a clash at Seton Hall on November 19, Banghart knows that the Tigers will have to get better in order to pull out a win in its first road contest of the season. “Seton Hall is really good, they are really fast, they are really strong,” said Banghart of the Pirates, who are 2-0 and defeated Rutgers 77-49 last Monday. “Part of the issue with freshmen is that they are not physically ready yet. They are ready to play at our level. Seton Hall is a tough matchup for us because we are young outside of our first group and we are going to need them to physically match their intensity.” Miller, for her par t, is ready to do whatever the group needs. “Coach wants me to look to score,” said Miller. “If my scoring will help make the team better, thinking of it that way, I am definitely happy to fill some of that role.” —Bill Alden

Enjoying Historic Day With Roth at Front of the Pack, PHS Boys’ Cross Country Makes Meet of Champions As the Princeton High boys’ cross country team hit the track to sharpen up for the Group 4 state championship meet with its final speed session, it was met with a drenching rain. Undeterred by the miserable conditions, the runners zipped through their 400 intervals, laughing and flying through the rain drops. PHS head coach Mark Shelley was not surprised by how his runners approached the workout. “The guys really, really love each other, they pull for

each other, ” said Shelley. “They love running, they love what they do. It is a good blend of personalities and leadership. There is some goofing off but it keeps them loose.” The team’s passion and upbeat approach translated into a stirring performance at the group meet at Holmdel last Saturday as PHS took fifth and ended up earning a wild card spot in the upcoming Meet of Champions (MOC). Junior star Alex Roth set the pace for the Little Tigers, taking

sixth individually as he covered the 5-kilometer course in 16:11. The team’s top five runners averaged 16:56 in the competition, which was won by Old Bridge. “They felt like they won a state title yesterday, they were so excited,” said Shelley, noting that it was the first time that the PHS boys’ team had qualified for the MOC since 1986. “This is an historic season. PHS has never done anything close to this, averaging 16:56. I think it is the first PHS team to have ever

averaged under 17:00 there. It has been a special season and yesterday was as excited as I have been athletically in a long time.” Shelley sensed that his r unners were pr imed to come through and achieve their goal of earning a spot at the MOC. “They were appropriately focused,” said Shelley. “I don’t sit there and say we have to do this to win a state title. We give them a little guidance about the teams we are looking for, teams that can be a benchmark for us. We try not to over coach it. They felt ready to run yesterday, that is all you can ask.” Roth was clearly ready for a big effort. “The course is really made for him, he is very strong and he can attack that hill well,” said Shelley of Roth. “The race itself was faster, which certainly benefitted him. Last week he was eighth in the sectional and this week, he was sixth in the whole state. He beat a number of guys, who had beaten him last week. We think this is an all-time PHS school record on that course, the previous one was Zaid Smart at the MOC when he ran 16:24 five or six years ago.” The rest of the PHS guys worked well together as sophomore Will Hare was 28th in 16:51 with sophomore Alex Ackerman coming in 59th in 17:11, senior Jeremy Taylor taking 62nd in 17:12, and junior Cy Watsky finishing 70th in 17:19. “Part of what we preached is the pack mentality and we probably had the second best pack, besides Westfield, who just barely beat us,” said Shelley, noting that the 1986 PHS squad, which won the Group 2 title, averaged in the 17:30s. “We had four guys right together.” Senior Taylor and junior Watsky brought experience to the PHS pack. “Jeremy is a veteran, he has not had two bad races in a row,” said Shelley.

“The trend continues and he really had a good one on Saturday. Cy has been the most banged up of anybody, just wear and tear on the legs. This past week, he was there for the 400s and he did our 25-minute run on Friday, other than that he was on the bike every day.” In S helley’s v iew, t he team’s depth and balance make it hard for anybody to beat. “I think we are very consistent,” said Shelley. “What has made the difference, certainly with Alex and Will, nobody is going to go onetwo on us. They might have a one and then you see Alex come in or have a two and then Will would come in. The back half of our group is better than the back half of their group.” In addition, the Little Tigers have not backed down as the stakes have gotten higher. “We improved from last week more than anyone else in the field,” said Shelley, whose team had placed third at the Central Jersey Group

4 sectional on November 7 at Thompson Park. “We improved 10 seconds from Shore Coaches to today. I told them you have to keep that in perspective, you have continued on an upward trajectory where some teams have not.” N ot i n g t h at PH S w a s ranked 10th overall in the merged results from the group meets this weekend, Shelley is hoping his team can finish 10th or better at the MOC, which is taking place this Saturday at Holmdel. But no matter how it goes, it will be another important step for a program on the right track. “It is all part of that process to get them to believe in what you do; to have confidence in the system, whatever the system is,” said Shelley, noting that PHS will also be competing in the Nike Regionals after Thanksgiving. “They buy into it and it is only going to grow as you get more kids into the program. We are encouraged.” —Bill Alden

A downpour pelted the players the Princeton High boys’ soccer team as it hosted Freehold Township last week in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional semifinals. Weathering an early storm from third-seed PHS, seventh seeded Freehold took an early 1-0 lead off of a free kick in the November 10 contest. “In the first 10 minutes, it was all in their half,” said PHS junior forward Alex Ratzan. “They did a good job on the free kick.” Minutes later, rumbling in the distance turned into a thunderstorm with a bit of hail and the contest was delayed for 53 minutes. After play resumed, Freehold shocked the Little Tigers, scoring two goals to take a 3-0 lead at halftime. While Ratzan felt the delay didn’t negatively impact PHS, he acknowledged that the Little Tigers were out of sorts when play resumed. “When I got back on the field, I felt like it was the same game,” said Ratzan. “We were working hard to get the goal back. They did a good job of getting under our skin and we lost it a little bit. We were putting everything out there but we became too manic.” After halftime, PHS threw

ever y t h ing at Freehold, dominating possession and generating a number of opportunities. The Little Tigers broke through as senior defender Dwight Donis scored with 25 minutes left in regulation. Minutes later, the Little Tigers generated a penalty kick but failed to convert. Freehold was able to hold PHS off from there, earning a hard-fought 3-1 triumph which left them hugging and the Little Tigers players shocked, several of them crying in the wake of the season-ending loss. “In the second half, it got a little chaotic but we were playing more soccer,” said Ratzan. “We got in behind them a few times, we did dig a little bit of a hole. There were a couple of shots on target that we had. The penalty obviously was a good job by everybody. The fact that we won it and got in that position was good.” For the shif t y Ratzan, who made some dazzling runs through the Freehold defense in the second half, having the chance to impact things was heartening after a tough sophomore season. “Personally, I was happy being able to play this year,” said Ratzan. “Last year I had a bad injury.” On the whole, it was an unhappy ending as PHS

suffered only its second loss in a 16-2-3 campaign. “You can’t always expect to get the best out of everything,” said Ratzan. “We had a lot of things go against us.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe acknowledged that his team was not at its best in the loss to Freehold. “Conceding early is not the end of the world but I thought with the rain delay, it was just tricky,” said Sutcliffe. “It just wasn’t our day but no excuses, we still should have been better.” The Little Tigers were much better down the stretch of the game. “I am so proud of the way our guys responded in the second half; that is what this Princeton team is all about,” said Sutcliffe. “We could have come within one; their goalie had a big day.” Sutcliffe was pleased with Ratzan’s big effort throughout the postseason. “He was great; in our whole tournament run he was flying,” said Sutcliffe. “He is one of our most improved players, I just can’t wait to coach him next year in his senior season.” While this year ended with frustration, Sutcliffe was proud of what his squad accomplished. “It was a very successful season; it was disappointing in the sense that it was our first year on Group 4 and we had two good games in the tournament,” said Sutcliffe. “Last Friday’s game was great (a 3-1 win over sixthseeded East Brunswick in the sectional quarters). We finished the regular season undefeated and we won the CVC outright. We made it to the semis of the MCT. We just didn’t have enough of a break in the tournaments.” S u tcl i f fe c r e d i te d t h e team’s Class of 2016 with leaving a special legacy. “We had 15 seniors and they have won everything you could win in New Jersey soccer except a state championship, not many teams or players in New Jersey can say that,” said Sutcliffe, whose senior group was led by tri-captains Chris Harla, Pete Luther, and Cole Snyder. “From day one, they came in here in 2012 with an undefeated freshman team, they scored 84 goals and gave up four and they just kept getting better. Their class had more success than I think just about any other class in my days here. They won the league title twice, they won the MCT, they won the sectional title. They finished the regular season undefeated so what can you say?” In Ratzan’s view, it was a special fall, notwithstanding the final result. “It was a big year, we had 21 games and only two losses, that speaks for itself,” said Ratzan. “We did a great job, a couple of things could change but we had a great team.” Bill Alden

pily for 37 years until Goldie succumbed to leukemia in 1994. Two years later, Dr. Rojer met his second wife, Marsha Levin-Rojer, on another blind date. They were married in 1997 and recently celebrated their 18 th wedding anniversary. Ms. Levin-Rojer’s two children were beautifully absorbed into the Rojer family. Dr. Rojer moved to Princeton in 2001 where he was quickly recognized for his generous spirit, boundless energy, and wise counsel. In addition to his role on the Board of Health, Dr. Rojer served as vice president of the Old Guard of Princeton and on the Board of the American Jewish Family and Children’s Service of Mercer County, where he delivered kosher Meals on Wheels and volunteered on a committee in support of Holocaust Survivors.

Montgomery Township | Attention to detail is evident at every turn, from the beautifullydetailed millwork and recessed lighting throughout, to the leaded glass front doors and colonial-grid windows. The two-story foyer is lit by the full-light double doors and a large, arched window above. Step to your left and you’ll find the living room with a built-in corner bookcase, ideal for displaying your favorite photos or special mementos. To your right you’ll find the formal dining room with shadow box molding on the walls and a ceiling medallion highlighting the chandelier. The expansive kitchen features stainless steel appliances, cherry cabinets and a center island which comfortably seats four and is lit by pendant lights. Access the paver patio through sliding glass doors, or enter the family room through an oversized entry from the kitchen. The fireplace provides the focal point for the family room, while the large windows and French doors provide plenty of natural light and a gorgeous view. Exit through the French doors onto the paver patio, with plenty of room to accommodate all of your outdoor entertaining, relaxing, and dining needs. Upstairs, you’ll find the master bedroom with tray ceiling and the luxurious master bath. Three additional bedrooms and a bonus room are also located on the second level. Further amenities include a full, finished basement, a three-car garage, and a quiet cu-de-sac location, close to shopping and highly-acclaimed Montgomery schools.

EMPTY-NESTING: REPURPOSING YOUR CHILD'S OLD ROOM As a parent, you know one day it will happen: Your kids will leave the nest and head out on their own, and you'll be left with an extra room (or two). When that happens, the desire to reclaim the space as something completely indulgent and personal is understandable – after raising children, you deserve to be indulged. But if you're planning to sell, swapping out a bedroom for a craft room, office or gym may not be a good idea, especially if your home has just three bedrooms.

N PR EW IC E

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, NOvEmbER 18, 2015 • 46

to place an order:

Three-bedroom homes are most often bought by families with kids, and when buyers visit your home, they want to imagine living there. Even though the changes you make may all be superficial, like having a desk instead of a bed, it can still be harder for buyers to place themselves (and their kids) in that space. Before making any permanent changes to a “spare” room, ask your agent if it could have an impact on your sale. In the meantime, you can still enjoy a home office or craft space – just consider adding a foldable desk or craft table that can be easily removed once your home goes on the market.
