Four PU Seniors Win Rhodes Scholarships For Study at Oxford

Three Princeton University seniors were among 32 United States Rhodes Scholars chosen for 2019, including a record 21 women. A fourth Princeton senior is one of five recipients from India. Nicolette D’Angelo, John Hoffmeyer, Katharine (Kate) Reed, and Samvida Sudheesh Venkatesh, who was named last month as a winner from India, will all begin their studies at Oxford University in October 2019. Almost half of the U.S. recipients, named Sunday, are either immigrants or first-generation Americans, according to the Rhodes Trust. Recipients are chosen not only for their scholarly achievements, but also for their character, commitment to others and to the common good, and for their potential for leadership in their chosen careers. D’Angelo, a classics major from Hewitt, N.J., is interested in exposing more people to classics. She is committed to understanding the ancient world and in relating that world to contemporary concerns. She hopes one day to become a professor of classics at a public university, according to a Princeton University Office of Communications press release. “I hope to use my Rhodes Scholarship to establish a public platform for displaying the relevance of antiquity to our world today,” she said. “I hope to inspire budding classicists and non-classicists alike to examine the global reception of ideas from the amazing yet deeply troubling worlds of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.” At Princeton, in addition to her work in classics, she is pursuing certificates in creative writing, humanistic studies, and gender and sexuality studies. She plans to work towards the M. St. in classics at Oxford. A recipient of the national Beinecke Scholarship and of Princeton’s Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence, D’Angelo interned last summer at the Paideia Institute in Rome, where she helped write educational materials for the study of Greek and Latin. She also teaches Latin to elementary students through Princeton Young Achievers. Continued on Page 10

Voters Will Decide on $26.9M Referendum

With significant tension remaining between the needs of the schools and the financial concerns of the residents, the town of Princeton will vote on December 11 on a $26.9 million scaled down bond referendum to provide upgrades to the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). Following almost two years of planning and more than 40 public forums, the Board of Education (BOE) in early October decided to postpone some of its plans for a facilities referendum that would have cost taxpayers almost $130 million, and instead voted 10-0 to place on the ballot a single question “addressing the district’s most urgent needs in its aging schools, including safety, security, and HVAC upgrades,” according to a PPS press release from last week. The referendum would also provide facility improvements for Princeton High School (PHS) that would include four additional classrooms, a dining distribution center on the main floor, increased space for athletics, and improved space for student counseling. “This makes the kind of changes that bring us into the 21st century and responds in the right ways to the challenges that we are currently facing,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane in a comment on the PPS website. “It’s the result of really listen-

ing to the community that the Board made the decision to focus this initial referendum in December on the most immediate and urgent needs that we have.” BOE Chair Patrick Sullivan noted, “Every Board member voted in favor of the referendum because every Board member understands how important the issues are that are at stake here. This is about the stewardship and maintenance of our buildings and ultimately about the future of our children and their education.” He continued, “We’ve had over 40 public meetings to discuss referendum issues. We’ve had a lot of input

from people, and I think we’ve come up with an exciting vision. We can’t do nothing. This small referendum in 2018 is a first step towards addressing the needs of our children for the next 50 years.” The anticipated impact on Princeton property taxes for the $26.9 million bond is approximately $57 additional in the first year for an average assessed home of $837,074. Subsequent year estimated additional costs would be about $61 in 2021, about $106 in 2022, then sizable reductions in 2023 and beyond. Significant needs for space, for Continued on Page 8

Council Votes for Ordinance With New Zoning Standards

On Monday night, Princeton Council voted unanimously, with modifications, in favor of an ordinance establishing new neighborhood residential zoning standards. The final ordinance requires Zoning Board review for applications when a house is being demolished, but waives the requirement to appear before the town’s Zoning Board when seeking permission for additions and renovations that comply with the rest of the ordinance. The vote came after significant public comment and discussion among

Council members, who worked to reword the section of the ordinance that was in question. Originally introduced by Council last month, the measure went to the Planning Board for review before coming back for a final vote. The ordinance was a response, in part, to community concerns about the impact of development on existing neighborhoods, and the teardowns of homes that are then replaced by houses considered to be oversized and out of scale. Consultants have Continued on Page 13

PHS Junior Journalist Teams Up With Civil Rights Activist Dolores Huerta W hen legendar y far m worker and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta addressed a large crowd at

counters with Huerta. “One of the things that interests me is the way different social movements learn from and feed off each other,” he said. “For example, she told me of a volunteer lawyer who had suggested the Delano grape boycott. He had worked in Selma and Montgomery with Martin Luther King Jr. She is so eager to get her message out that she encouraged me to keep writing and even gave Before she delivered her me her number, telling me speech, Biehl, youth editor to reach out if I need more and contributing reporter for information.” Latino Migrant Teen Journal, had met Huerta in person to follow up on a phone interview he conducted with her over the summer. A version of that interview will be published soon on the American Anthropological Association blog in advance of its upcoming meeting, where Huerta is giving the keynote speech, and another version of the interview will be published in Latino Migrant Teen Journal. As part of an independent social science project, Biehl volunteered with the New Jersey-based nonprofit Migrant Worker Outreach over the summer, interviewing Hispanic blueberry pickers at several migrant camps in the southern part of the state. As he talked to them and learned about their lives, Biehl decided he wanted to learn more about what the future holds for these migrant workers. He reached out to the 88-year-old Huerta, 2012 recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and cofounder along with Cesar Chavez of what is now the United Farm Workers. “I was thrilled when she agreed to do the phone interview over the summer,” Biehl said. “She is such a kind person and so eager to engage others, and I was very excited to meet her in person at Rutgers-Camden. She is an icon of civil and labor rights movements, but her legacy and can-do spirit are especially inspiring today. It was incredible to get a few moments with her to go over the details of the interview before her talk.” Biehl recalled many memorable moments from his enRutgers University-Camden last month, in an event celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, Princeton High School junior Andre Biehl was more than just a casual spectator.

directly to the people, and we do this by meeting them in their homes.” She emphasized how important it is to engage politically and to spread awareness of laws that protect the rights of farmworkers. “Some of the rights that we won for farmworkers are now covered throughout the country,” she said. “For instance, workers have toilets; they all have to have toilets in the fields. They have to have drinking water in the fields. That is the mandate all over the United States. All farmworkers are covered by minimum wage laws, even if they are undocumented. Growers can’t have workers in conditions that might be a danger to their health or safety.” In responding to a question from Biehl about hazards faced by female farmworker s, H u er t a note d, ”There’s a lot of fear out there, and it’s very difficult to get women to report because they fear for their lives. They fear for their families and always worry about retaliation. So it’s difficult for them. But there are laws, and [there is] a lot of publicity on Spanish radio and television and there are people who go out and talk about it and let women know they have protections. It is crucial for women to know where they can access protections when there are violations.” Huerta said she considers herself a “born-again feminist,” deeply committed to protect vulnerable populations, particularly women and the undocumented. She also spoke about the impact Continued on Next Page

Biehl, who had researched Huerta’s long career on the barricades, interviewed her over the phone last summer, and was excited to finally meet her. (Photo courtesy of Andre Biehl)

Huerta, originator of the United Farm Workers’ motto “Si se puede!” (“Yes we can!”), taken up by Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, was a lead organizer of the five-year Delano grape strike, one of the most important commercial strikes in U.S. history. She worked toward the establishment of the 1975 California Agricultural Labor Relations Act, and her efforts also led to the establishment of disability insurance coverage for California farmworkers. Today she heads the Dolores Huerta Foundation that is working to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline for Latino and African American high school students in her community. A staunch believer in the power of political organizing to effect change, Huerta has spent her life as a political activist, fighting for rights and better working conditions for farmworkers and the oppressed. At the time Biehl interviewed Huerta, a new documentary about her life called Dolores by award-winning filmmaker Peter Bratt had been released, and Huerta had just returned to her home in California from Texas, where she had joined activists and concerned citizens to protest immigrant family separation. I n h e r i nte r v i e w w it h Biehl, Huerta spoke about the importance of engaging people on a personal level in mobilization efforts. “If you’re trying to get them to respond and get motivated to make the sacrifices to get organized, you have to have a relationship with them,” she said. “You don’t talk to community leaders.

of climate change on the welfare of farmworkers and about the country’s current political climate. “The heat is always an issue,” she said. “Farmworkers can die out there in the fields when it gets too hot, especially if there are no protections for them. This obviously affects their health. It is happening all over the country because global warming is everywhere.” She also mentioned the challenges of poverty, lack of housing, and no daycare for children. Huerta continues to work for political solutions to these problems, “still knocking on doors” at age 88, urging organizing, campaigning, and voting for progressive candidates. “People must vote so that we can get a decent immigration law passed and stop the deportations of the farmworkers who are undocumented,” she added. Biehl, a Spanish language student and a volunteer at Arm in Arm (formerly Crisis Ministry) in Trenton since he was in sixth grade, became interested in people’s life stories through his volunteer work. “The story of a person can teach us about larger problems society faces and also have an inspiring force,” Biehl said. His encounter with Huerta seems to be helping him to shape his life. “One of the things that I heard Dolores Huerta saying over and over again is that there is always an opportunity to make change, even when a situation looks really dire,” Biehl recalled. “She is an incredibly positive person who inspires others to recognize their own power. I hope that I can take that lesson, along with my interests in civil rights history, and combine them into a lifelong career of service and civic engagement.” —Donald Gilpin

upgrades for all the schools, and aspirations for a new 5/6 school will not be going away, nor will the prospect of another referendum in the coming year or two. For now, however, PPS is focused on the $26.9 million December 11 question. “Throughout the planning process, the Board continued to listen to a variety of voices,” the PPS press release states. “It sought to balance the needs of our schools and of our growing student population with a commitment to maintain the economic diversity of our town. Ultimately, in an effort to achieve that balance, the Board decided to focus an initial referendum on the most urgent and immediate needs for our schools.”

Sullivan added, “What makes the town of Princeton great is our ability to solve problems together. With the challenges we currently face and those we anticipate in the future, it is vital that our community is accurately informed about the immediate needs in our schools and is also engaged in developing the longer-term vision we have for our growing district.” In the November 6 BOE election, two newcomers who had criticized early proposals for a $130 million referendum, Brian McDonald and Daniel Dart, received the most votes and will take their seats on the Board in January, but Cochrane declined to see a political, anti-referendum message in the election results. Noting the high level of engagement in the vote and congratulating the

recently elected members, Cochrane stated, “When it comes to the education of our children, Princeton is guided by values not politics. We benefit from a Board whose members may have different perspectives and experiences. We benefit as well from a Board that stands united in prioritizing equity for all children and the highest quality, most cost-effective education for our community.” Emphasizing the ongoing challenges of “rising enrollments and limited resources,” of aging facilities and overcrowding, Cochrane added, “The December 11 referendum is a first step in a longer-term process as we plan collectively with our community for the further expansion and updating of Princeton Public Schools facilities to cost-effectively meet the educational needs of our children.” To provide information on the referendum and continue its engagement with the community, the district has announced a new referendum webpage on the district website www.princetonk12.org; Saturday tours of PHS for parents and other community members on December 1 and December 8 at 9:15 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. both days; social media sharing on Twitter @princetonk12 and Facebook @PrincetonPublicSchoolsNJ; and a special “Meet the School Board” on Tuesday, December 4 at 8:30 a.m. in the Board office at 25 Valley Road. —Donald Gilpin

Rhodes Scholarships continued from page one

John Hoffmeyer, a comparative literature major from Florence, S.C., is pursuing certificates in Chinese language and culture and music performance (piano) at Princeton, and plans to work towards the M.St. in modern languages at Oxford. Bridging the worlds of literature and music, of academic scholarship and musical performance, Hoffmeyer is interested in extending access to music to more people and communities. He earned a silver medal at the 2015 Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and was a Young Artist at the Southeastern Piano Festival, where he also helped to judge the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition. Hoffmeyer founded the Princeton Chamber Music Society ( PCMS ) last year with the goal of extending access to Princeton’s music faculty to communities in the area.

“While at Oxford, I plan to work with students and faculty on campus, along with the Oxford Chamber Music Society, to develop interdisciplinary performance opportunities like what PCMS has offered at Princeton,” he said. After Oxford, Hoffmeyer plans to complete his Ph.D. in music or comparative literature and present lecture recitals combining music, literature, and philosophy. Reed, a history major from Arnold, Md., with certificates in Latin American studies and Spanish, plans to pursue the M.Phil. in development studies at Oxford. Elected to Phi Betta Kappa this fall and a two-time recipient of Princeton’s Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence, Reed has focused her research on the relationship between the United States and Latin America “At and af ter O xford, I would like my work to trace the history of how we understand others, and

consequently ourselves, and how a more nuanced understanding of our past might encourage greater empathy in our present,” she said. “I have had incredible opportunities to conduct archival research in the U.S. and Mexico, to develop classes on global history and immigration policy for immigrant students, to translate hundreds of pages for nonprofits, and to run campaigns for immigrant rights in New Jersey — experiences that have informed my desire to work at the intersection of academia and activism.” Reed plans to pursue a Ph.D. in history after Oxford, and hopes to work as an educator. She has received the Lawrence Stone and Shelby Cullom Davis Prize from Princeton’s history department and the Paul A. Stellhorn Award in New Jersey History. She helped to create and teach an ESL-adapted history class for recent migrant students at Princeton High School and continues to assist in the school’s ESL

class. She is a project leader and ESL instructor with El Centro ESL through the Pace Center for Civic Engagement, which provides English classes to adult immigrants in Trenton and Princeton. Venkatesh, a molecular biology major from Bangalore, India, is pursuing certificates in computer science and quantitative and computational biology. At Oxford, she looks forward to pursuing an M.Sc. in biochemistry, and she plans to work in the gynecology laboratory of Ahmed Ahmed at the Nuffield Department of Women’s and Reproductive Health. She began her research in cancer genomics, using computational sequencing techniques to analyze ovarian cancer samples, in Ahmed’s lab during a summer 2017 internship. “Biology is the lens through which I interpret the world,” Venkatesh wrote in her essay to the Rhodes Scholarship selection committee. “So much of the human experience, from birth to death, is

Venkatesh also has an interest in science education and writing. She is a head peer tutor at Princeton’s McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, a senior science writer for The Daily Princetonian newspaper, and a STEM children’s book author for Pratham Books in Bangalore. —Donald Gilpin

spent the past two years working on the issue. Council members said they had received numerous letters from residents about the issue. Mayor Liz Lempert said she had received more emails on this issue than any other, including consolidation. “There was a fear that we’re letting anyone knock dow n a dwelling w ithout coming through zoning,” said Councilman Lance Liverman. “So the neighbors would have no say-so.” Griggs Farm Ed Truscelli, head of Princeton Community Housing, updated Council on the state of reconstruction at the Griggs Farm complex, where a fire last December killed one resident and caused heavy damage one of the buildings. A total of 24 people were displaced by the fire. “There has been a great outpouring of support from the community, and we have been able to temporarily house residents who want to return,” Truscelli said, noting that the Griggs Farm Condominium Association was leading the restoration effort. “The process is moving along pretty well.” Truscelli said work is expected to be completed by April. “Much of the major systems have been replaced at this point,” he said, adding that the roof, windows, and siding are replaced. Interior work is planned for the next few months. Truscelli said 19 of the 24 will be returning to the newly reconstructed building. Parking Municipal Administrator Marc Dashield updated Council on the state of new parking equipment that has been installed throughout the town. New meters and pay stations were launched November 5. Reporting some 46,208 coin transactions, 20,739 credit card transactions, and over 2,000 by app, he said the consultant who has worked on developing the new system “has indicated that’s a very high response.” Dashield said several problems have been raised by residents, and some of them have been resolved. American Express and Discover cards are now accepted at meters, and pre-payment beginning at 7 a.m. is now possible at all meters except those that only allow 30 minutes. An update to the Park Princeton app is to be released next week. Goal Setting Council will hold a series of goal-setting meetings, open to the public, starting on Tuesday, November 27 at 8 a.m. in the Community Room at Witherspoon Hall. The first meeting is on affordability and budget savings. Next, on December 4 at 7 p.m., the focus will be on sustainability and wellness as well as inclusion and social justice. On December 11, the issue will be user-friendly government. “I would welcome anyone who feels there are issues that Council should be working on for 2019,” said Lempert. “This is the time to send us emails.” Lempert also mentioned that there are several openings on municipal boards, committees, and commissions. “We are always looking for candidates to represent the town,” she said. —Anne Levin

Princeton Montessori School has received a grant from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service to expand the school’s Farm to School pilot program to other area schools. The program helps children learn about the challenges within the global food system, the value of consuming healthy foods grown locally, and the importance of taking care of the environment. The grant will allow Princeton Montessori, along with The Northeast Organic Farming Association New Jersey Chapter, West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District (WW-P), and farmers from Cherry Valley Coop, to develop a sustainable Farm to School curriculum for early childhood through middle school students to be replicated in the WW-P schools. “We started with a handful of children just four years ago, and now we have the chance to reach more than 10,000 students in the greater Princeton area,” said Alex Cardona, chair of the Farm to School program and Princeton Montessori parent. “This is a great example of a public-private partnership within the community that invests in our children and local farmers such as Cherry Valley Coop. I could not be more proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish and the opportunities that lie ahead for us to make a positive impact on our community.” Montessori Head Michelle Morrison added, “Montessori education promotes a connection to the land and responsibility to the planet. Our Farm to School program is a natural fit with our values and we look forward to developing it further thanks to the generous grant from the USDA.”

PDS Researchers Present Their Findings The seven founding members of the Princeton Day School (PDS) Research Experience (REx) Program presented the results last week of their summer internship work in top scientific labs across the country. The PDS seniors discussed posters summarizing their research, questions they were attempting to answer, procedures, findings, and conclusions. The Campus Center reception wrapped up work that started in the classroom and extended this past summer to university lab experiences working side by side with undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and other research professionals. PDS biology teacher Carrie Norin, who developed and directs the REx Program, spoke about each of the students. Science Department Chair Jason Park reflected on STEAM innovation at PDS and the groundbreaking work of the REx Program. A new group of seven REx juniors has been selected to pursue independent research study this year, and each will be paired with one of the original seven REx participant mentors.

Princeton Academy Design Day Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart fifth-graders took up the challenge of devising a solution to the global problem of food waste, creating invention prototypes designed to reduce waste during last week’s National Day of Design. Under the leadership of math teacher Linda Hogancamp and science teacher Greson Torchio, teams of three students went through the engineering process, defining the problem, brainstorming a solution, conducting research, designing a prototype, building and modifying the prototype, then presenting their inventions to the class. Many invented ways to convert the emitted methane gas into energy, with one invention featuring a spaceship that would vacuum the gas in the atmosphere and use the methane to power the spaceship and another devising a plan to create a Princeton Academy Food Bank. “The boys were addressing social and sustainability issues that impact us all,” said Torchio. “They were building community with each other, strengthening friendships through this shared experience.” On a lighter note, in an earlier engineering competition, the fifth-graders designed and built catapults to launch mini-pumpkins as far as possible. Each group was equipped with the knowledge of Newton’s Laws of motion and potential and kinetic energy as they navigated the engineering process. The project culminated in a competition where all six catapults launched the mini pumpkins over 20 meters, and the winning launch set a new Princeton Academy record of 38.54 meters.

The appearance on Nassau Street last Saturday by a group of men holding signs saying “It’s Okay To Be White” prompted an immediate response from members of the local community. Alerted by a Facebook post, several people attempted to talk to the men, who had tape on their mouths and wore bandanas or sunglasses. The phrase “It’s Okay To Be White” is a slogan that has been recently used, frequently on college campuses, by white supremacists. Martha Friend, a teacher at Littlebrook School, was visiting her parents in Princeton when she was alerted to the situation by her sister, who had driven down Nassau Street. She drove to the scene, and immediately posted on Facebook. “I just wanted people to know about it, and I wanted these five men to know that what they were doing was unacceptable,” she said. “I stuck with them, videotaped them, and tried to engage them. But they didn’t respond.” Friend was soon joined by several people who saw her Facebook post “The men had left when most of them arrived at the scene, but many people said they want to be able to show up next time,” she said. Friend now has some 50 names of people in the Mercer County area who want to be involved.

“These people are saying they will come to any town in the county where this happens, realizing it’s not just Princeton. It’s going to happen everywhere and will happen again soon, unfortunately. People want to be able to respond, but in a safe way.” Friend is a member of the national group SURJ-NJ (www.showingupforracialjustice.org), which helps stand up to white supremacy. She is hoping to set up a meeting in which she can learn the protocols for these types of situations. “We will work with them,” she said. “Nobody is looking to ratchet things up or make an unsafe situation. We just want to say that this is unacceptable. We want to make a silent parade of love behind them any time they march, making sure the attention isn’t on them…just to say this is not okay.” Police were called to the scene by a woman who was in Tiger Park, where she had been protesting deer hunters and observed the men nearby. The men did not respond to questions from the onlookers, and eventually got into cars and drove off. “They covered up their license plates,” said Friend. “The only way I can see it is that they were ashamed of their message.” —Anne Levin

Lecture on Cannabis At Whole Earth Center

On December 12 at 6:30 p.m. at The Whole Earth Center, Robert Genco from CV Sciences will give a talk about the discovery of CBD, how it interacts with the body, and the potential benefits of CBD for human health. According to the website of Project CBD, a nonprofit education group, Cannabidiol

— CBD — is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned” and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC. The fact that CBD-rich cannabis is non-psychoactive or less psychoactive than THCdominant strains makes it an appealing option for patients looking for relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms,

and other conditions without disconcerting feelings of lethargy or dysphoria. Scientific and clinical research, much of it sponsored by the U.S. government, underscores CBD’s potential as a treatment for a wide range of conditions including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resis-

tant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. CBD has demonstrable neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, and its anti-cancer properties are currently being investigated at several academic research centers in the United States and elsewhere. The Whole Earth Center is at 360 Nassau Street. For more information, visit wholeearthcenter.com.

New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act and Your Rights When Hiring a Home Improvement Contractor By Tirza S. Wahrman, Esq. © “The ache for home lives in all of us…” — Maya Angelou

For many of us, our home is our most precious physical asset. To trust our home to a stranger who enters it, promising to do a repair, an addition or renovation on time and on budget, can be a daunting proposition. New Jersey has a proud history of protecting homeowners, tenants, and consumers in a variety of transactions. One of the legal tools that I use in my practice is the Consumer Fraud Act. One of the Act’s strongest weapons for harmed homeowners is the feature that allows a homeowner who wins in court to collect her attorney’s fees. Long before one consults a lawyer, homeowners can do a lot of legwork in advance to avoid the legal headaches of dealing with a “bad actor” contractor. These are the kinds of questions to ask, when selecting a home improvement contractor: 1. Is the contractor licensed with the Division of Consumer Affairs? Any person or corporation that undertakes home improvements must be registered with the Division of Consumer Affairs. To check that a contractor has the appropriate license, visit http:/www. njconsumeraffairs.gov. Look for the Office of Consumer Protection icon, and look on the left side of the screen for Home Improvement Contractors. 2. Is the contractor insured? New Jersey law requires a home improvement contractor to carry a minimum liability insurance policy of $500,000.00. Before he or she starts the work, ask to see the Declarations page of his or her policy. 3. Is the work on my home a “home improvement?” The law defines “home improvements” broadly to include remodeling, altering, painting, repairing, or modernizing of residential property. It also includes the construction of additions and work on the property outside of the home, including driveway, sidewalks, swimming pools, patios, landscaping, fences, and the like. Even rental properties are covered.

4. Have I been given a written contract? For all home improvements where the cost will exceed $500, the contractor must provide a written contract. A written contract must include: A. The legal name and business address of the contractor and a description of the work to be done; B. Total price to be paid, including any finance charges which apply; C. If the contract is for time and materials; D. The hourly rate for the labor; E. The date when work is to begin and end, or if no dates are given, a time period for completion of the work; F. If the work is being financed, a statement of the existence of the mortgage or any other security interest; and G. All guarantees and warranties. 5. Does the work on my home require a permit? As a general rule, minor repairs do not; however, renovations that expand the footprint of the home or increase energy or water usage may require a permit. It’s best to check first with the Township and make sure that your contractor is in full compliance with permit requirements. 6. When should I pay the contractor? Many homeowners make the mistake of making full payment up front. Any number of payment arrangements can be agreed to: I counsel homeowners to make a small deposit to start, and make payment only when certain thresholds in the work are achieved. Never agree to make a final payment until you have sign off from the Township inspector that all required permits have been obtained.

How does the Consumer Fraud Act protect me? What, if despite a homeowner’s best efforts, the homeowner is dissatisfied with the work done by the contractor? What legal remedies does the homeowner have? Rightly known as one of the strongest consumer protection laws in the nation, the Consumer Fraud Act is interpreted liberally in favor of homeowners.

What must you do to prevail on a claim under the Consumer Fraud Act? There are three elements that must be satisfied: First, you must show that you suffered an “ascertainable loss.” Second, you must show that the contractor engaged in an “unlawful practice.” Third, you must show a causal relationship between the ascertainable loss and the unlawful practice.

suppression or omission of any material fact. An unlawful practice can include any violation of the home improvement regulations that apply to contractors. For example, suppose your contractor fails to get an interim inspection when he or she has commenced work on your property, and you learn this when you confer with your town inspector. If you terminate your contractor and engage a new one to get the proper inspections done, the additional costs you incur may be recovered if you can show that your additional costs were caused by the first contractor’s failure to get the proper interim and final inspections. Here’s another example: The contractor submits plans to the Township indicating he will use a certain kind of material to build an addition. You subsequently learn the contractor used a less expensive material inconsistent with what was described in the plans he submitted to the Township. That is an unlawful act for which you can seek recovery of your damages — that is, the additional costs you incur when you pay to substitute the material you originally contracted to use. Here’s a final example: The contract states that the work will be completed within 30 business days. The work is not completed within that timeframe, and the contractor does not ask for more time, which must be agreed to in writing. Unless the delay is caused by factors outside the contractor’s control, the contractor may be liable for an unlawful practice. Under the statute, a private plaintiff victimized by an unlawful practice can collect three times her damages. This is a powerful incentive allowing private parties to pursue their claims. In addition, a claimant under the Consumer Fraud Act is permitted to collect her attorney’s fees, another powerful incentive for homeowners who suffer harm to pursue their claims. I regularly represent homeowners who have been harmed by the unlawful acts of a home improvement contractor. Most of my matters settle even before a lawsuit is commenced: I often I use the Consumer Fraud Act as a negotiating tool to obtain the most favorable outcome for my clients. Know your rights, and call me early in the process for a free consultation. 1 Member, New Jersey and New York Bars; Member, American Arbitration Association Mediation roster.

In an act of scholarly daring, Greenblatt then proceeds to do exactly the same thing. Rarely have these bloodsoaked creatures seemed so recognizably human and so contemporary.” Stephen Greenblatt is professor of the Humanities at Harvard University.

The annual arrival of Santa Claus at Princeton Airport is Monday, December 24, at 11 a.m. This is the 43rd year for the annual tradition. The airport hangar doors will open to children awaiting Santa’s arrival. Parents are advised to bring their children to the airport at 10 a.m. The Princeton Airport Flying Tigers will be serving cocoa and cookies, and local folk singer Pat McKinley will lead holiday songs starting at 10:30. If parents would like to have a gift waiting for their child, they should bring a wrapped gift with the child’s name on it in large print to the Princeton Airport lobby. Gifts should be no larger than 12 inches to accommodate Santa. If parents have more than one child participating, the gifts should be wrapped in the same paper and tied together to speed up the distribution. To have their child participate, parents need to bring a gift for donation, as well.

Personal checks made out to the FoodBank Network of Somerset County, as well as canned or boxed food, are suitable alternatives accepted at the airport. Donations from non-participants are accepted as well. Gift collection begins the day after Thanksgiving at 8 a.m. and ends on Sunday, December 17. The gifts can be deposited in the “chimneys” in the lobby of the airport between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Once Santa’s plane lands, he will head into the hangar along with all the participants to distribute each gift individually. In fairness to all, Santa will distribute the gifts in the order in which they are received at the airport. Children will also have the opportunity to take a picture on Santa’s lap. Usually, distribution is completed by 1 p.m., and Santa continues his journey. There is no charge for

Art Open House Events at Rago Auctions

On Tuesday, November 27 and Wednesday, November 28, Rago Auctions in Lambertville will host open houses featuring experts, authors, and artists whose areas of expertise range from the fringes of the outside art world to the gilded luxury of Russian antiquities. First, on Tuesday, No vember 27, Rago will host a panel discussion moderated by outsider art expert and dealer Marion Harris titled “Inside Outsider Art.” This

conversation among experts and artists will explore the outsider art market with a focus on new discoveries by Asa Ames and Daniel Rohrig, automata, and contemporary outside artists such as Purvis Young. Joining Marion Harris on the panel will be nationally recognized authority in the arts, antiques, and collectibles field Helaine Fendelman, outside artist Ross Brodar, and the conservator for the Morris Museum’s Guinness Collection of Mechanical Musical Instruments and Automata, Jere Ryder.

Then, on Wednesday, November 28, Rago welcomes Dr. Wilfried Zeisler, chief curator of Hillwood Estate, as he delivers a presentation titled “Faberge Rediscovered.” This presentation will explore the Hillwood’s exhibition of the same name and unveil recent research and discoveries relating to the museum’s collection of about 90 pieces by the famous Rus sian jeweler Faberge. Dr. Zeisler will highlight new attributions and provenances for these pieces and provide a broader framework for the study and appreciation on 19thand 20th-century jewelry and goldsmithing.

Woodblock Prints at Plainsboro Library Gallery

W h i te - l i n e w o o d b l o c k pr i nt s by E as t Wi nds or printmaker Ingrid Davis are featured in a December exhibit at Plainsboro Library Gallery. This type of multicolored print is made from one woodblock, with carved “white” lines separating the individual colored areas. Davis’ landscapes, cityscapes, and still life prints are soft and vibrant; and the compositions are enhanced by the detail of the woodblock’s grain. A reception will be held on Sunday, December 2 from 2 to 4 p.m., where visitors will have the opportunity to see samples of the woodblocks and the tools used and to have the process explained by the artist (3 p.m.). The exhibit runs December 1 to January 2. Ingrid Davis was raised in West Berlin, Germany, and moved to the U.S. after her marriage to an American. Her early art training was in painting, and she primarily worked on oils and pastels. In 1976 she moved to Japan, where she developed an interest in rice paper collage. Back in the U.S., a course in etching led to a fascination with printmaking, and, eventually, a love for the white-line woodblock technique. She received her art education from the Art Students League, the Brooklyn Museum School of Art, and the Parsons School of Design. She has taught a week-long workshop of the woodcut process at the Star Island Conference on the Arts in Portsmouth, N.H., and has exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe in solo, invitational, and juried shows, receiving numerous awards for etching and white-line woodcuts. Her work can be found in collections in the U.S., Europe, and the Far East. The Plainsboro Library is located at 9 Van Doren Street, Plainsboro. Hours are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Friday through Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (609) 2752897 or visit the website at www.plainsborolibrary.org.

Standing sentry to watch over the Garden State, the trees of New Jersey benefit the environment and the creatures that inhabit it. From the state tree, the Northern red oak, to the memorial tree, the flowering dogwood, this exhibit celebrates their contribution to cleaner air, higher water quality, and a healthier, happier community. “This is more of an immersive visual forest than an exhibition,” says D&R Greenway Curator Diana Moore. “Surrounded by many expressions of trees in many different mediums, one feels both the individual talent of the selected artists and the

collective impact of a shared passion for the trees that punctuate our landscape.” Exhibiting artists include Jim Amon, Kathleen Amon, Danielle Austen, Hana Aviv, Laura Beard, Kristen Birdsey, Aida Birritteri, Gail Bracegirdle, Linda Bradshaw, Deb Brockway, Lonna Buinis, Jean Burdick, Peter Burt, Glenn Cantor, Larry Chestnut, Fred Gardner, Christopher DeGrezia, Connie Dierks, Wayne Domkowski, Sean Edwards, Renee Egan, Daniel Gluibizzi, Catherine Gowen, Dee Gozonsky, Donna Gratkowski, Ann Hoffenberg, Susan Hogan, Mary Hrbacek, Eve Ingalls, William Jersey, Joe Kazimierczyk, Armor Keller, Catherine Kuzma, Deborah Land, Mary A.

Matthews Art Gallery,” says Linda Mead, D&R Greenway president and CEO, “ is to cre ate ref le c t ion about the value of the natural world and inspiration to protect it. I am excited for visitors to experience what can only be imagined as a ‘virtual forest bathing’ adventure. Breathe deep and come on in!” Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.drgreenway.org.

rinceton Symphony Orchestra explored three unique composers this past weekend in a Sunday afternoon concert in Richardson Auditorium. Bookending Niccolò Paganini’s monumental Violin Concerto No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6 were two 20th-century works written only two years apart. In a concert featuring musical surprises and ear-catching effects, Princeton Symphony Orchestra, together with an exciting and very contemporary violin soloist, performed to a spellbound audience in Richardson. Leoš Janáček’s 1926 Sinfonietta, as arranged by Erwin Stein, reflected the composer’s fascination with militar y bands and showed Janáček’s imagination in scoring each of the five movements for a different group of instruments. Led by Music Director Rossen Milanov, the musicians of Princeton Symphony played Janáček’s largest purely orchestral work cleanly and precisely. An effective pair of horns opened the first movement fanfare, together with exacting timpani and a quartet of trumpets. A Gypsy feel marked the second movement, which recalled Janáček’s hometown of Brno in what is now the Czech Republic, and elegant solos were heard form flutist Niles Watson, oboist Lillian Copeland, and later English horn player Lauren Williams. Throughout the five-movement work, Milanov kept the five musical vignettes flowing seamlessly, well capturing an atmosphere of Eastern Europe in the early part of the 20th century. When considering Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini, it is worth remembering that his name means “little pagan,” and urban legend holds that he learned the violin while serving time in prison for murdering his mistress (a rumor he made no effort to discourage). A 19th-century superstar, Paganini’s playing technique on the violin was such that audiences were convinced he had made a pact with the devil. It is no wonder that Paganini’s first violin concerto would appeal to a soloist equally at home in classical music, heavy metal, and the blues. Chicago native Rachel Barton Pine began playing violin at age 3 and debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 10. She is truly a musician of her time, excelling at the most demanding classical pieces, but also exploring folk, rock and jazz. Paganini’s Violin Concerto was a study in contrasts between a tribute to opera composer and Paganini contemporary Gioachino Rossini and Pa-

ganini’s own demonic playing capabilities — as if the devil kept poking his head into an opera overture. Milanov had no trouble emphasizing the Rossini aspects of the Concerto’s opening movement, creating an operatic anticipatory atmosphere while Barton Pine waited for her turn at bat. The four-square music did not last long in the hands of Barton Pine; fiery double stops and lithe scales recalled Rossini’s most complex coloratura vocal writing. Paganini did not notate a closing cadenza to the first movement, but Barton Pine wrote one herself which stayed within the Rossini framework, rather than a late 19th-century style which other soloists have done with this piece. Barton Pine flawlessly executed Paganini’s technical demands, including left-handed pizzicato and demanding double stops, but easily conveyed the lyrical and lilting bel canto aria solo line of the second movement. Barton Pine plays a 1742 violin of Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu, which had a sharp and decisive sound, but which could also be rich in the lower registers. Barton Pine is truly a musician of the 21st century, with a foundation and commitment to performance excellence, contemporary music, and music education which goes far beyond the concert stage. ilanov and Princeton Symphony Orchestra topped off the concert with a musical dessert in Igor Stravinsky’s divertimento suite from his ballet The Fairy’s Kiss. Stravinsky’s 1928 ballet of a story by Hans Christian Anderson was so successful he later excerpted music from the ballet into a four-movement suite. In Sunday afternoon’s performance, the texture of the divertimento was sparse compared to the Paganini Concerto, but no less rich in harmonies. Most notable in this performance were several oboe solos by Copeland, a melancholy flute solo by Watson, and horn solo work by Douglas Lundeen. Milanov brought out the quirkiness inherent in many Stravinsky works, and a third movement trio among principal cellist Alistair MacRae, harpist André Tarantiles, and clarinet Pascal Archer as particularly exquisite, both in orchestration and performance. The music of Stravinsky requires precision, and the brass sections of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra delivered, closing the afternoon concert on solid footing. —Nancy Plum

Princeton Symphony Orchestra will present its next Classical Series concert on Saturday February 2 and Sunday, February 3, 2019, at 8 p.m. and 4 p.m. respectively, in Richardson Auditorium. These performances will feature pianist Dominic Cheli and the music of Brahms and Beethoven, in celebration of Rossen Milanov’s 10 years with the Orchestra.

Revolution and Revelation: The Beatles’ White Album 50 Years Later It was the whiteness of the whale that above all things appalled me. —Herman Melville, Moby Dick hite Album, White Whale — all’s fair in love and hyperbole when it comes to describing the magnitude of the Beatles when their first double record was released 50 years ago tomorrow. Wrapping the music in white, with the name of the group only faintly perceptible, offered listeners a blank page, as if to say “Use your imagination. Fill in the blank. Set your fancy free.” So, as the White Whale deep-sixed Ahab and his ship, “spinning, animate and inanimate, all round and round in one vortex,” the White Album, spinning round and round with “Helter Skelter” and “Revolution 9” raging in its depths, created a deadly vortex in the brain of a homicidal Svengali. Violent death was already stoking the myth in November 1968, with the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory becoming a full-blown mind game as fans channeled Sherlock Holmes, close-reading album covers and lyrics and playing records backwards to pick up hidden clues, a phenomenon teasingly acknowledged by the blank cover and lines like “Here’s another clue for you all/ the walrus was Paul” in John Lennon’s “Glass Onion,” the album’s third track. “We can’t control what people read into our music,” McCartney said at the time. “Things take on millions of meanings.” In a recent NME interview he admits that the association of “Helter Skelter” with the Manson murders made him refuse to play the number in concert for decades. Once it was no longer, in his words, “too close to the event,” he “brought it out of the bag and tried it and it works. It’s a good one to rock with, you know.” The same can’t be said for “Revolution 9.” Yet in the context of the 21st century, as presented on the remastered 50th Anniversary edition of The Beatles, the churning, driving soundscape created by a Captain Ahab named John Lennon is an indispensable part of the narrative. Riding “Revolution 9” W hile hardcore fans may want to splurge on the Super Deluxe package with Giles Martin’s remix of the original LP and multiple discs of unreleased studio outtakes, all you really need is the 3-CD set, with the Esher Demos. Arriving on the fifth anniversary of the JFK assassination, the White Album came from another darker, more problematic world than Sgt Pepper, where the prolonged orchestral crescendo concluding “A Day in the Life” provided a preview of things to come. I used to think what the record lacked was a conclusion with the same sense of adventure. Revolver had “Tomorrow Never Knows” and Magical Mystery Tour had “I am the Walrus.” The Beatles offered only the interminable sound collage of “Revolution 9” (the most unpopular Beatles track ever according to a Village Voice poll), followed by “Good Night,” in which Ringo

sings the world a lullaby and tucks it in. After the first few spins of Side 4, the tendency in those early days was to lift the tonearm after Lennon’s haunting seance song, “Cry Baby Cry.” Not now. There’s no tonearm to lift, unless you buy the vinyl version. For me, and a world of others, the main problem with “Revolution 9” was the length, the fact that Yoko Ono was involved (a major negative at the time), and that you had to sit there at the mercy of all that chaos. That was then. At the moment, my best advice is to drive from Kingston to Princeton with No. 9 blasting at top volume on the car stereo. If you aim for the corner of Ewing and Mt. Lucas averaging 33 1/3 mph, you’ll cover the distance in 8:15, the exact length of the

has become a car again, all yours, No. 9 echoing in your ears with a seashell roar as Ringo sings “Good Night,” the tender lullaby John Lennon wrote for his son Julian. I stay in the car, listening till it’s over. Never had George Martin’s arrangement, in all its Golden Age of Hollywood glory, sounded so magnificent. Never had Ringo seemed so well suited to a song, holding to a tenuously plaintive balance that might at any moment betray him but never does. Coming after the long strange trip of “Revolution 9,” Ringo’s “Good Night” evoked the conclusion of Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, where nuclear apocalypse blends with Vera Lynn singing “We’ll Meet Again.” “Revolution 9” was recorded while Paul McCartney was in Los Angeles, “behind

track. The experience is an in and out of the body melodrama, at first a dreamlike sense of release, of being on automatic pilot, like a passenger on a massive sound train. Since the thing itself is moving headlong as if driven by a crazed engineer, the fact that you are driving, too, becomes unsettlingly redundant, skewing time and space. The guy on the bicycle moving toward you on your right is like someone you left behind at the beginning of another journey half a lifetime ago. The people you pass along the way seem to be living in another dimension. As the sound train rolls down North Harrison past the Shopping Center, the distance between you and everyone you’re passing is decreasing, as if you’ve been airborne and are approaching a runway, coming in for a landing, so that by the time you’re home and pulling into the garage, the car

his back,” you could say. Although George Martin helped Lennon navigate the Abbey Road archive of tapes and tape loops, both he and McCartney wanted to keep Ahab John’s tour de force off the record. Harrison, who contributed to the definitive version, thought “it worked quite well in the context of all those different songs,” except, “I find it heavy to listen to myself—in fact, I don’t, really.” The Esher Demos In late May 1968 at George Harrison’s bungalow in Esher, a town in Surrey, the Beatles got together fresh from India to play new songs for one another, the true first draft of the White Album, everything acoustic, intimate, relaxed: you’re in the same room, sitting in the shadows, eyes closed, listening. As Kevin Howlett says in his liner notes, “The up-close clarity

of the sound of the demos is breathtaking” and “the music itself is revelatory,” a “glimpse behind the curtain, an insight into how — as Paul describes it — ‘the magic circle within a square that was the Beatles was created.’ “ Although some of the Esher songs have been available on Volume 3 of the Beatles Anthology, not to mention numerous bootlegs, the experience of hearing all 27 is stunning. Songs that never did much for me take on a new life. John’s screamer “Yer Blues,” which sounded borderline bogus and overblown on the album, has an in-the-moment authenticity, the fading repetition of “I feel lonely” lending it inadvertent pathos. However headlong wonderful the album version of “Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey” (the longest title in Beatledom), now Lennon’s in the room, still making the song, thinking it, feeling it. The same is true when George Harrison presents “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.” Listening to George and John at Esher, you come near to believing that the dead are not dead. This happens most movingly when they sing two songs I never heard before, John’s “Child of Nature,” and George’s “Circles.” John sounds raw, vulnerable, exposed, as though he were reaching for something he can’t quite find. The melody reappears two years later in “Jealous Guy” from his first solo album, but for someone who was in India around the same time, it’s chilling to hear him sing, “On the road to Rishikesh, /I was dreaming more or less /And the dream I had was true.” It’s no less moving to hear George sing “He who knows does not speak/He who speaks does not know” in “Circles.” The sense of being in the living presence is what makes the Esher tapes so special. Here they are as real as life. The dream is true. Dream Visitors My son Ben was four when John was murdered. In his dreams over the years, which he remembers in great detail, he’s been visited by both Paul and John, and sometimes George, playing new music just for him. When I say, “So you can really hear the songs,” his “Yes” is convincing. Listening to the Esher Demos, I imagined I was hearing the music he hears in his dreams. ver since Ben’s been in hospital I’ve been his DJ, providing him with infusions of music by putting the telephone close to the computer and playing whatever he asks for; sometimes it seems that everything ever recorded has been posted on YouTube. The other day, still under the spell of the demos, I put the Esher CD on the Bose Wave, held the telephone up to the speaker and played John singing “Child of Nature” and George singing “Circles.” Almost before I could ask the question, he was saying, quite excited, “This is what I hear in my dreams!” —Stuart Mitchner

Music and Theater New York City Ballet Soloist Comes Home for “Nutcracker” Among the most accomplished alumni of Princeton Ballet School is Unity Phelan, a 23-year-old Princeton native who is now a soloist at the New York City Ballet. Phelan comes home this weekend to dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in American Repertory Ballet (ARB)’s production of The Nutcracker at McCar ter Theatre, Friday, November 23 at 2 and 7:30 p.m. (Princeton Ballet is the official school of American Repertory Ballet). “I danced so many roles in this production while I was growing up,” said Phelan, who found time to reminisce in between rehearsals for New York City Ballet’s own month-long run of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center’s Koch Theatre, in which she will alternate as the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Dewdrop. It is Balanchine’s version of the famous “Sugar Plum” pas de deux that Phelan, partnered by fellow New York City Bal-

let soloist Joseph Gordon, w ill dance at McCar ter, though the rest of the ballet is ARB’s own version. “I started at Princeton Ballet School when I was 4, in a little pink leotard, skipping around in a circle,” Phelan said. “I had a lot of energy. I loved it right away. In Nutcracker, I was in the party scene, and then I was a Bon Bon, and was one of the ‘tea assistants,’ and so on.” Among Phelan’s teachers at Princeton Ballet was former school director Mary Pat Robertson. “I loved the years in which I got to teach Unity — she was always ‘in the moment’ — ready to give her best over and over in order to master something new, and bringing a freshness and delicacy to her work, alongside an amazing ability to really attack the jumps and quick movements,” Robertson wrote in an email from England, where she and her husband are on sabbatical. “I am so very proud of her accom-

plishments and wish I could be there to see her this weekend.” Recognizing Phelan’s unusual talent and individual style, ARB Artistic Director Douglas Martin encouraged her to audition for the summer program at the School of American Ballet (SAB), which is affiliated with New York City Ballet, when she was 13. She was accepted, and felt im mediately at home. “I absolutely loved it — the speed, the crazy attention you have to give to everything, the jazzier style — it just felt right to me,” she said. Phelan returned to SAB for a second summer. She accepted the school’s invitation to stay for the winter term and live in the dorm. Three years later, she joined New York City Ballet. Her c a r e e r to o k of f a l m o s t i.l.mmediately, when former director Peter Martins cast her in the corps de ballet of Balanchine’s Agon, one of the choreographer’s “leotard ballets.” Set to a score by Igor Stravinsky, it is fast and notoriously difficult to count. “It is very classic City Ballet, such genius, and one of my favorites. I got really lucky when I was cast in it,” Phelan said, modestly. Since then, Phelan has performed the lead in Agon, and numerous other works in the repertory. She graduated from corps de ballet to soloist rank two years ago. “I was shocked,” she said. “The thing is, I really enjoyed being in the corps and getting to do two or three ballets every night. But it was such an honor to have been promoted — validation that I belong here, and that the way I move is the way that they move.” The past year has been one of turmoil at New York City Ballet. Longtime director Martins retired following accusations of sexual, physical, and verbal abuse. A few months later, three prominent male principal dancers were removed from the ranks following charges of sexual harassment. An interim team of four people — three former company members and the company’s choreographer in residence, Justin Peck — have been leading the 86-member troupe since Martins’ departure. Asked about the chaos, Phelan said, “The company is actually doing really well. The dancers have bonded. We have wonderful ballets, and more than anything, those have been our guides. Diving into the work has been such a savior for us. Some of the younger boys are stepping up, and the interim team has done an amazing job.” Phelan said she has no idea who the new director will be. “We’re supposed to have an announcement soon. I’m lucky because I’m young, but I just hope the new director likes me,” she said. “As my boyfriend told me, ‘All you can do is show up every day, do your best, and be nice to people.’ So I’m hopeful.” In the meantime, there is Nutcracker to perform in her home town. “I’m very excited to be coming home for this,” Phelan said. “I’m really looking forward to it.”

ROYAL INTRIGUE: “The Lion in Winter” is a modern classic dramatic comedy set in 1183. England’s King Henry II (George Hartpence) observes Christmas at his castle with his estranged and imprisoned wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (Carol Thompson) in the production being staged November 30-December 16 by Actors NET at the Heritage Center Theatre, 635 North Delmorr Avenue in Morrisville, Pa. Email actorsnet@aol.com for information. ARB will continue performances of Nutcracker (minus Phelan and Gordon) November 24 and 25 before taking the production to Union County Performing Arts Center, South Orange Performing Arts Center, Two River Theater, and the State Theatre. Starting the annual run with Phelan on stage makes sense. “We are thrilled to welcome Pr inceton Ballet School alum Unity Phelan home to Princeton for guest performances as Sugar Plum Fairy,” said Artistic Director Martin. “For over 65 years, generations of wonderful dancers and dance lovers have been trained in the art of classical ballet at the Princeton Ballet School, and we are so delighted to welcome all alumni home for this wonderful event. ARB’s Nutcracker is celebrating 55 years at McCarter Theatre and we can think of no better way to celebrate than to have Unity returning for the opening day of performances.” — Anne Levin

“An Evolving World” Blends Science, Music On Tuesday, November 27 at 7 p.m., “An Evolving World” will bring science writer Michael Lemonick and composer Sam Guarnaccia to D &R Greenway Land Trust to discuss the human impact on our evolving environment. Selected video from the recent performance of Guarnaccia’s Emergent Universe Oratorio will be shown. The program is free. Scientific American opinion editor and Princeton native Michael Lemonick broke the first story on climate change in 1987, featured on the cover of Time magazine. With more than 50 Time cover stories to his credit, his work has also appeared in Discover, Yale Environment 360 and regularly in Scientific American. Lemonick’s books include The Georgian Star, Echo of the Big Bang, Other Worlds: The Search for Life in the Universe, and Mirror Earth: The Search for Our Planet’s Twin.

Guarnaccia is celebrated for his Emergent Universe Oratorio (EUO). The oratorio explores the interconnectedness of all life. Emergent Universe begins at the “beginning of everything — the Big Bang,” Guarnaccia said, a process he terms “the Great Flaring Forth.” The composer addresses questions about the impact of stars, tectonic plates, even sea life of hundreds of millions of years ago upon today’s humans. He weaves in words and thoughts of Rainer Maria Rilke, Wendell Berry, John Elder, and others, carrying audiences to the “beginning of time.” Says Guarnaccia: “The motivation for this oratorio was to add weight and depth to our awareness of what we are doing to the planet.” D & R Greenway Land Trust is located at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place. rsvp@ drgreenway.org or phone ( 609 ) 924 - 4646. w w w. drgreenway.org.

while being transported across the proverbial pond to Europe, the dark wizard escapes his captors with the help of his minions. Next thing you know, he’s hatching a diabolical plot to establish a new world order by breeding a race of pure-blood witches and wizards to rule over all “muggles,” aka ordinary people. Ultimately, the hope for saving humanity will rest on the shoulders of the picture’s protagonist, Newt Salamander (Eddie Redmayne). This good wizard is a “magizooligist,” meaning he has an army of supernatural animals at his disposal. Trouble is, Newt has been grounded by the British Ministry of Magic since inadvertently making an embarrassing mess in the Big Apple during FB1.

Following a successful appeal of the harsh sentence, the unassuming hero’s wand and travel rights are restored, setting in motion a series of events leading to an inevitable showdown with the megalomaniacal Grindelwald. Still, the deliberatelypaced tale takes a number of nostalgic detours prior to the monumental clash of good vs. evil, thanks to Newt’s fervent desire to remain neutral. So, we’re first treated to a string of extraneous subplots, like sidebars revolving around reunions with Professor Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Newt’s old flame, Leta Lestrange (Zoe Kravitz). Diehard fans of the franchise are apt to appreciate such folderol, while average audience members might grow increasingly impatient for the visually-captivating action sequences. Overall, FB2 proves to be an entertaining episode ending on an engaging enough note to keep you curious about the next offering in J.K. Rowling’s incomparable Wizarding World series. Very Good (H H H). Rated PG-13 for action. Running time: 134 minutes. Production Studios: Heyday Films/Warner Brothers Pictures. Studio: Warner Brothers Pictures. —Kam Williams

PU Football Pulls Away to 42-14 Win Over Penn, Achieving Program’s 1st Perfect Season Since 1964

With no Princeton University football team having posted an undefeated season since 1964 when the Tigers went 9-0, this year’s squad set its sights set on perfection. “Before the season we got together and talked about our goals for the year were and that was the biggest stated one that we were all working toward,” said Princeton senior receiver Jesper Horsted. “The way to be the best we could be was to go 10-0.” While going undefeated might have been the long range goal, the Tigers maintained a daily focus on the work at hand. “That being said, it was a game by game way that we approached things,” added Horsted. “We never looked beyond the next Saturday and that is just how we approached the business.” Bringing a 9-0 record into its season finale against visiting Penn last Saturday, Princeton took care of business, pulling away to a 4214 win over the Quakers to end the fall at 10-0 overall and 7-0 Ivy League, earning the program’s first outright Ivy title since 1995. Princeton head coach Bob Surace lauded his players for never wavering in their focus as the wins piled up. “The outcomes are the outcomes, the thing that is so awesome is how these guys do everything every-

day,” said Surace, who has now coached the Tigers to three Ivy crowns in his nineyear tenure at the helm of his alma mater’s program. “It is the easiest team I have ever had to coach, and I am not saying that because of their talent, they are certainly talented; it is because they are on time, they are accountable and they fight through injury at practice. It is never coach I need an off day, it is coach, I am practicing when the trainer is telling them not to go. It is just so enjoyable to be around this group.” In a raucous post-game celebration, the team lobbed pieces of cheese at each other rather than spraying champagne. “We have the saying in our locker room ‘don’t take the cheese,’ that was the motto and we took it seriously,” said senior star quarterback John Lovett. “If you even slipped up; when we are 6–0, 7-0, or 8-0 and said you say ‘wouldn’t it be cool to go 10-0’ and boom and 15 or 20 guys are saying you are taking the cheese right now.” The Tigers were not about to slip up on Saturday as Penn rallied to make it a 2114 game on a 69-yard pass play early in the second half after Princeton had jumped out to a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

Senior linebacker Tom Johnson, who made 10 tackles and had a sack to lead the defensive charge, was confident that Princeton would hold the fort. “They had a lot of fight; they are a good squad and we didn’t think it was going to be a cakewalk coming in here today,” said Johnson. “We knew that there was going to be some adversity at some point like every game this year but we band together. I think it shows how strong this class has been.” The record-breaking Princeton offense poured it on from there with 21 unanswered points. “Our entire offensive mentality is to score on every single possession, if it doesn’t matter if it is a run up the middle or a deep pass,” said Lovett, reflecting on a unit that piled up a league record 470 points this fall. “You have seen it all year, guys break off 75 yard runs from a simple run play. It is not like we are designing anything or going with trick plays to be explosive. We just have an offense that believes in each other. When we get the ball in our hands, whoever it is that has it is trying to do the best they can possibly do for our team. Coach [Sean] Gleeson draws up incredible game plans every week so a lot of that goes to him.”

Thursday Nov 22, 2018 11 a.m. Princeton University Chapel

Lovett enjoyed getting the ball to Horsted, who caught eight passes for 165 yards and three touchdowns in the win, setting the Princeton record for career receptions as he ended up with 196, breaking the previous mark of 193 established by Kevin Guthrie ’84. “He makes it easy;” said Lovett of Horsted, who was later named the Football College Subdivision (FCS) National Offensive Player of the Week and the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week. “Jesper is an incredible talent and I am lucky enough to play with him.” The one downside to Princeton’s incredible season is that it won’t get to keep playing, as the Ivy League doesn’t allow its teams to participate in the FCS national playoffs. “I am at a loss for words right now, I don’t feel it should be over,” said Lovett, who passed for 255 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 123 yards and one TD in the win over Penn. “I just want to go out on Tuesday and start throwing more ball to Jesper and Stephen [Carlson]. It is a pleasure to be able to play with these guys.” Surace echoed Lovett’s sentiments about the playoffs. “It is an empty feeling, we would want to play,” said Surace, whose team is ranked eighth in this week’s FCS Coaches Poll. “I will speak for them; it

HEADING INTO HISTORY: Princeton University football player Jesper Horsted races past Penn defenders last Saturday. Senior star wide receiver Horsted made eight catches for 165 yards and three touchdowns to help Princeton defeat the Quakers 42-14 and put the finishing touches on a perfect season for the Tigers. Princeton ended the fall at 10-0 overall and 7-0 Ivy League. It marked the program’s first undefeated season since the 1964 team went 9-0 and its first outright Ivy title since 1995. Horsted, for his part, passed Kevin Guthrie to grab the Princeton record for career receptions, ending his career with 196 catches and 2,703 receiving yards, the second most in program history. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) is not only that they want to play, it is going to be Tuesday at 4:45 and we are going to feel sick to our stomachs because we don’t get to practice and we don’t get to bond. That is what stinks, because we will always have the unknown, the wouldhave, could-have, shouldhave, who knows, and it is just not fair.” But while these Tigers might not get to test them-

selves in the playoffs, they can be proud of going down in Princeton lore as one of the greatest teams in program history. “It is pretty amazing when you are in the locker room and the team that did it 54 years ago is in there,” said Surace. “They have been so supportive and these guys are in that rare air with them.”

Blessings and gratitude for over 50 beautiful years.

1967 - 2018

Hosting Maryland in midSeptember, the Princeton University field hockey team couldn’t hold the fort as the high-powered Terps rallied from a 4-1 deficit to pull out a 5-4 win in overtime. When the foes met against last Friday in the NCA A semifinals in Louisville, Ky., Tiger senior defender Elise Wong was confident that Princeton could contain the Terps. “We wanted to get a lot more pressure on the ball; our pressure is very strong and that is something we really wanted to capitalize on,” said Wong. “We got excited about pressing their defenders and midfielders. On top of that, since we played Maryland the first time, we have really bolstered up our defensive tactics and practiced a lot in the defensive 25.” Displaying that bolstered defense, Pr inceton held Mar yland to a scoreless stalemate through regulation and 7:54 of overtime before the Terps tallied to earn a 1-0 victory. “If you look at the stats, that is really telling as to how hard we were pushing for this game and how many chances we had on goal,” said Wong, reflecting on a game which saw Princeton build a 9-2 edge in penalty corners. “When you have stats like that, it is a little bit heartbreaking that none of them went in and we didn’t capitalize on them.”

While it was a heartbreaking ending for Princeton, who finished 2018 w ith a 15-5 record, Wong was proud of how the Tigers bonded this fall. “The thing that will stand out the most looking back at the season will be the team itself,” said Wong. “This is the best team, not just technically and as players, but our team culture and the family that we built is the strongest during my time here.” As one of the squad’s senior stalwarts, Wong took a major role in fostering that culture. “We had a really strong leadership group, not just our captains, but the rest of the seniors and the upperclassmen who stepped up to lead this team in a positive manner,” said Wong. Wong enjoyed a positive senior year, making firstteam All-Ivy League and getting named as the league’s Defensive Player of the Year. “I am really grateful for the honor; I have been improving as the years go on,” said Wong, a 5’2 native of Lake Forest, Ill. “I have become more confident and comfortable playing in the middle and being a leader in the middle through the way I play. I think that has made a difference.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Carla Tagliente was confident that her team could overcome the Terps in the NCAA rematch. “We felt we could press

them harder and cause a little bit more disruption and we did,” said Tagliente “It doesn’t open the game up as much for us with our counters, but I thought we still had adequate opportunities to score.” Tagliente credited her players with making things tough on Maryland. “I think with the game plan and what we were trying to do coming in, you couldn’t really ask any more,” said Tagliente. “We executed everything. If you said we would hold them to one shot in regulation and two corners, I would say that we would win the game 3-0. Sometimes it doesn’t work that way.” The Tigers put in some good work over the regular season, notching some victories over Top-20 teams that helped steel them for their NCAA run “We had some big wins early in that gave us great momentum with those wins over Wake Forest (4-0 on September 2), Penn State (2-1 in overtime on September 4), and Duke (3-2 on September 7),” said Tagliente, whose team also topped No. 3 UConn 5-2 on October 7. “Getting wins in those games would just put us in a much different position, psychologically as well, and got us off on the right foot. We want to win national championships; in order to win those you have to be in the Final Four. In order to be in the Final Four consistently, we need to have a level of

consistency in our play and I think we are heading in that direction.” In Tagliente’s view, the team’s group of seniors Nicole Catalino, Jane Donio Enscoe, Annabeth Donovan, Sarah Holland, Casey Swezey, Sophia Tornetta, and Wong are leaving a special legacy. “That is really a substantial body of work for them, and something they should be proud of,” said Tagliente, noting that program’s Class of 2019 made two NCAA Final Four and two quarterfinal appearances. “It is a really talented group; we are are obviously going to miss them but outside of what they all bring to the table on the field. It is really a step forward for us for leadership and setting an example for the younger players.” Tagliente believes the Tigers can keep moving forward. “There is potential there, we have a good core group returning,” said Tagliente, who welcomes back such All-Ivy performers as Maddie Bacskai, Mary Kate Neff, Julianna Tor net ta, Hannah Davey, Clara Roth, and Grace Baylis. “We are graduating good players but we had a lot of depth this year with players sitting on the bench who could play. We have an incredible freshman class coming in. I am going to have the same problem I had this year with who plays and who doesn’t play and how much time. It is good problem to have.” Wong, for her part, had a great time playing for the Tigers over the last four

years. “Undoubtedly being with Princeton field hockey has been one of the greatest parts of being at Princeton,” said Wong, who has joined the Canadian national program and will be touring with its senior team in January. “It is a family that you

have forever now. These are women who I am connected to forever and will be my lifelong friends. We have all of these great experiences, the ups and the downs, the preseasons, the wins and the losses, and we can come back to all of it.” —Bill Alden

PU Field Hockey Produces Fierce Defensive Effort But Loses 1-0 to Maryland in OT at NCAA Semis

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 2018 • 36

Falling to Michigan in Marathon Shootout at NCAAs, Tiger Men’s Soccer Displayed Skill, Competitive Fire The Princeton University men’s soccer team didn’t play like an underdog at host Michigan in the NCAA tournament last Thursday. The Tigers players took exception to an online preview by Top Draw Soccer that said Princeton needed “to keep this low-scoring, sit deep, and look for chances on the counter attack or set pieces,” in order to compete. “Our guys got really upset that that was the perception of how we could possibly win,” said Princeton head coach Jim Barlow. “I think our guys went for it. My goalie coach, Ryan Hayward said it best, ‘you couldn’t have watched that game and thought for one minute that Princeton was playing for a tie.’ It was a

really good effort.” Princeton attacked, outshot, and outplayed Michigan for long stretches before falling in the 14th round of penalty kicks after 110 physical minutes on a snowcovered field in Ann Arbor, Mich. The nail-biter left the Ivy League champion with a final record of 10-5-3. “When we watched Michigan on film, we thought a lot of teams sat back against them,” said Barlow. “We didn’t want to do that. We don’t think we’re very good when we play that way. We think we’re at our best when we’re really going after the other team.” The Tigers scored first when Benjamin Martin came off the bench, took a short pass laid off by Jeremy Col-

vin to the left side of the goal and snuck it back past the Michigan goalie for a 1-0 lead 38 minutes into the game. It was more than 35 minutes later when Michigan tied it in the second half, 1-1, to force overtime. “I think our guys were really ready for the kind of game it was going to be,” said Barlow. “We talked leading up to the game that it was going to come down to so much about being willing to do the running and being willing to compete because the field was going to be a mess with the weather conditions and it was going to be tough to get the ball moving and tough with passes. You had to be OK with not being able to pass out of the back all the time because of the conditions. Our guys were prepared mentally for a real physical battle.” Princeton played the same style it had used to stop lesser teams. The Tigers outshot Michigan in both halves and for the game by a 12-7 total. Six of the Tigers’ shots were on goal while only two of Michigan’s were. Princeton ranked fifth in the NCAA in shots on goal per game and sixth in shots per game. “It all starts with our energy and our defending up the field,” Barlow said. “We wind up winning the ball in parts of the field where we then catch the other team out of shape and we can get forward with some urgency. We do a pretty good job of having a variety of guys joining in the attack.”

Princeton’s pressing style never let Michigan get its strong passing game on track. The Tigers were frustrated by a no-call that led quickly to the tying goal. The 1-1 tie held up through the end of regulation and two 10-minute overtime periods to force the shootout for the right to advance to the second round against seventh-seeded Notre Dame. “It’s unlike anything else,” said Barlow. “You can practice penalties all you want. It’s just such a unique unusual situation. I don’t think we’ve ever been in a shootout since I’ve been coaching at Princeton. I’ve been in shootouts and I know our guys have been in shootouts with club teams, but with so much on the line and so much pressure on every shot, it’s unlike anything else. I missed a penalty in the NCAA tournament and I know exactly how our guys who missed feel. And it’s the worst. If the goalie guesses right or if you hit it a little bit closer to the middle than you wanted to, that can decide a game. It’s really sad that it comes down to that.” In the first five penalty kicks, Kevin O’Toole, Cole Morokhovich, and Danny Hampton made goals for P r i n c e to n w h i l e T i g e r s goalie Jacob Schachner, who stopped three penalty kicks in the regular season, stopped two of Michigan’s five shots. That sent the shootout into sudden death penalt y kicks w ith each round capable of determining the game’s winner. It went eight more rounds with Gaby Paniagua, Moulay Hamza Kanzi Belghiti, Jack Roberts, Michael Osei Wusu, Richard Wolf, O’Toole, and Morok hov ich conver t ing on kicks and Schachner stopping one kick that was matched by Michigan keeper Henry Mashburn. When Mashburn made a stop on Ha mpton, Mich iga n ad vanced thanks to a goal by Jackson Ragen in the ninth extra round of kicks. “It’s not an easy thing to decide who shoots because any of the guys who are dressed for the game can shoot, even if they didn’t play in the game,” explained Barlow. “We had some guys who were so banged up and tired after the overtimes that they didn’t feel as confident taking a penalty as they had before the game started. So we had a couple guys, including our back-up goalie, take a penalty without having stepped on the field in the game. So Danny Hampton, and Jack Roberts and Michael Osei Wusu, those guys hadn’t played in the game and they stepped up. The guys handled it really well. We had our chances and it didn’t go our way. We took our best shot and it didn’t quite go our way

on a couple kicks.” The shootout defeat ended the season and the careers of Princeton’s six seniors – Sean McSherry, Jeremy Colvin, Henry Martin, Moyin Opeyemi, Will Lentz, and Bryan Prudil. McSherry, Colvin and Prudil were starters, and McSherry was named a first-team All-Ivy forward and Colvin a second-team All-Ivy midfielder. “They definitely took some of the frustrations of the last couple years, in particular how many games we went to overtime in and didn’t win, and they made it a priority in the offseason to change the mindset and make the team tougher in overtime and the mentality of the group became much more determined and resilient and focused,” said Barlow. “That paid off in so many games this year that, in previous years, we may not have come through with a win. The two years before this, we went to overtime 15 times and I think we only won one of those games and had a bunch of ties and some losses. This year, I think we went to overtime six or seven times and didn’t lose once. I think the seniors deserve a lot of credit for that, all of them.” Princeton will have a good starting point when it returns in 2019 with so much of its side returning, led by Ivy Player of the Year, sophomore Kevin O’Toole, along with Wolf, an Ivy first-team defender, and Paniagua, a second-team midfielder, and honorable mention defenders Morokhovich, Bobby Hickson, Benjamin Issroff, and goalie Schachner. It, has players ready to try to step into the holes that will be left from a very good season that improved as it developed “We’d like to build on it,” said Barlow. “The one thing that probably kept us from being even a better team

this year was we didn’t finish enough plays when you think about how many shots we took and how much time we spent in the opponent’s half. Our ability to finish off plays still needs to get better and that’s a big priority as we go into the offseason. We have a really solid defense and the ability to play the way we want to and have an identity for pressing and playing in the other team’s end, and now we have to be a little sharper in the final third. That’ll be a big priority moving forward.” Michigan went on to fall in a shootout to Notre Dame on Sunday. Princeton would have loved the chance to compete together one more time after overcoming a slow start to their season to reach the NCAAs. After a 1-3 start to the year, they rallied to go unbeaten in their first six Ivy League games to clinch the league championship, their first in four years, and earn the NCAA berth that ultimately led to heartbreak. “We’ll be thinking about the Michigan game for a while; I think we all felt this team could make a deep run,” said Barlow. “When you watch Michigan probably get a little better of the game against Notre Dame, I think we feel like there’s no one we would be intimidated by or feel like we’re overmatched with. It’s frustrating when it comes down to PKs when you think you have a group that can go that far. That’ll hurt for a while. We also know how incredibly hard it is to win the Ivy League. I’m sure when we look back on that, we’ll feel really good about coming back from two goals down against Dartmouth (to tie) and rolling off wins against Cornell and Brown at home and Harvard and Penn and doing so well against teams that are really good teams.” —Justin Feil

ROUGH FINISH: Princeton University men’s soccer player Benji Issroff heads the ball up the field in a game earlier this season. Last Thursday, junior defender Issroff helped the Princeton defense stymie Michigan in the first round of the NCAA tournament as the teams tied at 1-1 through 90 minutes of regulation and 20 minutes of overtime. The game went to penalty kicks and the Wolverines ended up prevailing 11-10 in a shootout that went 14 rounds, nine past the typical five.

With the Princeton University women’s hockey team holding its first-ever #BlackOutBaker game as it hosted Colgate last Friday, Claire Thompson helped the Tigers get out to an early lead. Junior defenseman Thompson blasted in a shot from the point as Princeton jumped ahead 1-0 with 7:20 left in the first period. “Annie [MacDonald] did a really good job in the corner getting the puck free and she sucked their d-zone down into them which made me free,” said Thompson, wearing eye black as part of the black-out festivities. “S h e fe d a n ice pas s through to me and I shot. It hit some stuff in front before it went in.” Princeton did some great stuff in the second period, outscoring the Raiders 4-0 on the way to a 6-0 victory. “The whole team was playing really well and the energy on the bench was insane and with all of the fans here tonight,” said Thompson. “It was a great atmosphere.” Thompson chipped in two assists during the onslaught, which started when senior star Karlie Lund tallied two goals in the span of 1:24 as the Tigers went up 3-0.

“I personally felt like every time we stepped on the ice, all of the momentum was on our side,” said the 5’8 Thompson, a native of Toronto, Ontario. “It was easy to stay in the game and make good passes, everyone was communicating really well. It was really fun to play.” The Tigers played well defensively, stifling the Raiders, who advanced to the NCAA title game last winter. “We still stuck to our systems really well, our d-zone and our neutral zone forecheck was really solid,” said Thompson. “They had a lot of trouble getting into our d-zone. Our penalty kill did an excellent job preventing them from even gaining entry into the zone.” Thompson is feeling comfortable all over the ice this year. “I have gotten more confidence since being a freshman; the team is supportive of ever y t hing,” said Thompson, who now has nine points this season on three goals and six assists after chipping in an assist as the Tigers tied Cornell 2-2 on Saturday. “I was recruited as a for-

ward. I played defense my last two years of high school, but I played my whole life as a forward. I love defense so much. I can pick and choose my opportunities.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Cara Morey was thrilled with the way her team cashed in on its opportunities in the second period. “We were all over them; we were winning all of the loose pucks and then we got our chances,” said Morey. “In the first period we had a couple of 2-on-1s, a 3-on-1 and a 5-on-3 but we weren’t putting it in. Ever y time we got our chances in the second period, we seemed to bury them. It was a bit surreal, they just looked so skilled and so fast.” Senior Lund showed her skill with her two quick tallies, the second of which was the 50th goal of her Princeton career. “She has been playing great this year, she is one of the leaders we look to on the ice and in the locker room,” said Morey. “She has found another gear this year that we have re a l ly ne e de d. S he has stepped up as a leader. She is producing on the ice, so her 50th goal is amazing to have it tonight against such a good team like Colgate.” Morey likes the production she is getting from Thompson.“Claire is really awesome on the offensive side of the puck and we need her to do that,” said Morey. Princeton’s effort on the defensive side against Colgate was another big positive. “A shutout against a team like that that has so much offensive power is incredible,” said Morey, whose sophomore goalie Rachel McQuigge made 33 saves in earning the shutout and was later named the ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week. “Rachel played outstanding. Our defense did a really good job, just managing gaps and managing the puck and keeping it as simple as possible. They just didn’t get a lot of offense generated from that.” With Princeton, now 5-2-3 overall and 4-0-2 ECACH, sitting atop the the league standings, Morey is hoping the Tigers can keep surging. “Our roster was totally different the last four games and now we Keiko [ De Clerck] and Sarah [Fillier] back,” said Morey, whose team is 5-0-3 in its last eight contests and is next in action when it hosts Quinnipiac on November 30. “The next person up was playing; they all did well and they were all doing their jobs. To have a full bench of forwards is pretty cool because we can keep attacking.” Thompson, for her part, is excited by how quickly things have come together this season. “Our freshmen came in and they are very skilled; they jelled really well with the team,” said Thompson. “They picked up on our systems really well and quickly, which enabled us to get a quick start. Everyone is playing really well together.” —Bill Alden

Point Guard Littlefield Taking On Scoring Load As Shorthanded PU Women’s Hoops Starts 1-3 Carlie Littlefield sees herself as a pass-first point guard for the Princeton University women’s basketball team. Last winter in her freshman campaign, Littlefield had 84 assists, second on the team to senior star Leslie Robinson, and averaged 8.3 points a game. But with Robinson having graduated and rising sophomore shooting guard Abby Meyers away from school this year and junior star and reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Bella Alarie out with a broken arm, Littlefield is shouldering more of the scoring load this winter. “It is a lot different this year; I am more naturally a facilitator and coach [Courtney] Banghart has talked to me and she wants me to take 15 shots a game,” said Littlefield, a 5’9 native of Waukee, Iowa. “So that is stretching myself; she keeps challenging me and I keep trying to answer that challenge.” Last Wednesday, Littlefield scored a career-high 22 points as Princeton rallied from a 50-32 deficit to take a 66-59 lead with 2:15 remaining in regulation before the Pirates fought back to pull out a 70-66 win. “I don’t know how to pace myself; I just try and give it my all every time,” said Littlefield, who chipped in three steals, four assists, and five rebounds in 38 minutes of action. “I try to help these young guys along by huddling with the girls. We didn’t do that as much last game and that was on me so that was one of my focuses tonight, to bring everybody together with the experienced guys so we could make that comeback.”

In Littlefield’s view, the Princeton comeback was the product of increased defensive intensity. “We just stick together; we just kept telling ourselves all we needed to do was get stops and the offense would take care of itself,” said Littlefield. “We really locked into the scout in the second half; we got deflections. We kept our energy high and I think that is what powered our comeback.” P r inceton head coach Courtney Banghart liked the energy she saw from her players in the rally. “Defensively, we just had to get to be way more active with our hands,” said Banghart. “We got a lot more deflections in the second half. We got stops, which led to more offense. We outscored them in the whole second half (36-26). Obviously we were a bit undermanned; these guys show great fight. They could have thrown the towel in when we were down 18.” Banghart acknowledged that inexperience played a key role in the Tigers squandering their late lead. “The last two minutes, the game was in our hands but we had a lot of youthful mistakes,” said Banghart. “We had two offensive boards and went for the shots instead of pulling it out. The ball doesn’t go into Carlie on a press break. We had two fouls to give; they were instructed to foul and they had a tough time doing that.” Littlefield is doing well with the offense in her hands, averaging 14.3 points and 3.5 assists a game. “She is having to shoulder a

lot and it is going to make her better in the long run,” said Banghart of Littlefield who got 11 points as Princeton lost 79-71 to Penn State in overtime last Sunday to drop to 1-3. “It is hard; she is our floor leader and we are asking her to stretch herself. A lot of people are playing out of position right now so I give Carlie a lot of credit because a lot of what we are are having to do right now is to work through that. She is being patient, aggressive, and cooperative.” The Tigers got some aggressive play from seniors Gabrielle Rush and Sydney Jordan in the loss to Seton Hall as Rush scored 18 points and Jordan contributed 13 points and five rebounds. “They are playing like seniors, they are also a little bit out of position,” said Banghart “They are most comfortable as key pieces, not carrying the load. They are playing like seniors that are not going to come in here and let anybody run all over them.” While Banghart isn’t comfortable with losses, she believes the Tigers made progress notwithstanding the result. “We felt we took a major step back on Sunday at George Washington (a 64-49 loss on November 11), we just didn’t do what we do,” said Banghart. “I asked for a very quick turnaround, we didn’t give then a day off. So they were fatigued and they had a great turnaround. It is not the wins and losses this early in the year; it is about how much better are you getting and we got a lot better today.” Littlefield, for her part, is confident that Princeton will keep getting better and better. “It is just more of a learning experience with all of the young players and we are undermanned,” said Littlefield. “It is just getting more comfortable with those late game situations and learning along the way.” —Bill Alden

A Baxter-Disch Company Est 2009

B r i n g i n g a n 18 - g a m e losing steak into the 2018 season, the Princeton High football team was hungry to taste victory this fall. In game four, PHS broke through, edging Cherry Hill East 21-14 on September 29 to break the 21-game skid. Two weeks later, the Little Tigers enjoyed a second victory as they rallied to edge West Windsor-Plainsboro 22-19 on October 12. “Coming off of last season, not winning any games, there were so many question marks,” said PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher. “With the two wins, we can look back on those and say they were really competitive games. When we were in competitive games, we won those games. The idea is that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. I think that is really important.” The Little Tigers endured a tough final stretch to the season, falling 49-6 to Hopewell Valley and 55-0 to Delran to wrap up regular season play before losing 50-0 to Colts Neck in an NJSIAA crossover consolation contest. “I don’t think that anybody hung their heads, which was really nice,” said Gallagher, reflecting on the last three weeks of the season. “When we played Colts Neck, they were 2-6 and we were 2-6. The thought for us was that we were going into a competitive game. That is how the coaches looked at it. We were motivated to play. It was a hard-fought game. We got some young players in so we can see what they can do and we have that on film.”

Gallagher was proud of how his seniors fought to the end. “We had a really solid senior class,” said Gallagher, whose senior group included Evan Angelucci, Doug Avis, Ryan Benattar, Connor Coffee, Stephen Hennessy, Jaylen Johnson, Caleb Kirby, Tyler Komis, Kevin Linko, Drew Staples, a n d Tom m y Te n z l i ng er. “There were a lot of positive things that come out of it. I think those guys left a nice little legacy.” Hennessy starred as a running back and defensive back, making a positive impact this fall. “He did a great job on both sides of the ball,” said Gallagher. “He had a lot of plays in the backfield in coverage. He had a couple of big interceptions in the West Windsor game. He was in the right spot at the right time and that is a real credit to him and how hard he worked and how passionate he was about finishing off a season to get some wins.” A n o t h e r s e n i o r, Te n zlinger, showed a lot of passion in the trenches, returning to action after being derailed by injury in 2017. “I don’t know if Tommy came off the football field for even one play over the last four or five games,” said Gallagher. “He is our snapper on special teams, he played linebacker and left tackle for us. He just did a stalwart’s job; he was Mr. Dependable, which was awesome. Last year he suffered a season ending injury in the Ewing game. When a guy gets hurt, you wonder what is going to happen the following year. He was all in. He worked really hard in the offseason;

he was in the weight room all the time.” Wide receiver Komis didn’t get a lot of passes thrown his way, but he came up with the biggest reception of the season, diving to snag the ball and come up with a 26yard gain when PHS faced a third down and 11 at its 28 in the game-winning drive against Cherry Hill East. “It was a defining play for our season; who knows what happens if that play doesn’t happen,” said Gallagher. “Maybe we don’t win the game and the kids are dejected and we come out flat against West Windsor and we don’t get a win.” In Gallagher’s view, the team’s future is bright with the kids who are returning. “We had five juniors on the team this year and all five of those guys were major contributors to our program,” said Gallagher, whose rising seniors are Judd Petrone, Jay Jackson, Stephen Avis, Alexis Thomas and Frederik Otte. “T hose are five really good football players for us. It is a tight-knit group, they have a lot of experience. We will have a nice junior class. We are probably going to be close to 20 juniors so uppperclassmen-wise, I think we are in great shape. We had a good freshmen group, we had some ballplayers in there. Jaxon Petrone played a whole game at QB. They want to be successful and bring more wins to the program.” Coming through with the pair of victories this fall should help draw more ballplayers. “You get two wins at home and we had big crowds at those games,” said Gallagher. “So young people thinking about playing football who were at those games will hopefully think ‘I want to be part of that. I don’t want to be up in the stands; I want to be down on the field, making things happen.’” —Bill Alden

Paced by Senior Standouts McCarthy, Zullo, PHS Boys’ Cross Country Takes 13th at MOC Jackson McCar thy and Tucker Zullo have formed a productive partnership for the Princeton High boys’ cross country team over the last few years. Last Saturday at the NJSIAA Meet of Champions at Holmdel Park, the senior stars worked together to produce a fitting culmination to their state careers as McCarthy finished 24th in a time of 16:27 over the 5,000-meter course with Zullo right behind in 31st with a time of 16:30. “We took turns going back and forth, back and forth,” said Zullo. “I really like to take it out strong the first mile and Jackson was just sitting on me the first mile. And then the second mile it was reversed and we just were able to feed off each other. It’s funny, we were talking to each other during the race and saying, ‘I’m here, or ‘I got you.’” While Zullo has often been the leader of the pack for PHS this fall, he had no problem trailing McCarthy at the MOC. “I told myself at the beginning of the season I wanted to break 16:30 at Holmdel and that’s what I did today,” said Zullo. “I could not be more happy. And my training partner for four years was right there with me.” PHS head coach Jim Smirk was very happy to see McCarthy and Zullo come big last Saturday. “They worked incredibly hard and not just this season,” said Smirk. “They had great mentorship with the guys above them over the years. I think they took full advantage of that and really are an impressive credit to this program. It’s funny because you’re always trying to put together that race

where you have that kind of connectedness to allow it to happen. To have a day here like this at the Meet of Champions, I am so happy for them.” The team’s younger runners had impressive performances at the MOC as junior Tyler Fu placed 78th in 17:07 with junior Nick Trenholm taking 143rd in 17:57 and sophomore Jacob Bornstein finishing 155th with a time of 18:15. “Ty ran a great race; he has been part of the story, the progression of Tyler Fu from a guy who is on the roster to a guy who is going to lead us in the future,” said Smirk, whose squad finished 13th of 20 schools in the team standings of the competition won by the Christian Brothers Academy. “We’re real excited about his effort today. Jacob Bornstein has been this rock for

us all season. The Meet of Champions is a different kind of beast and we’re thrilled he had the experience. He’s had an outstanding season for us and it’s hard to say anything but great things about him. He’s been our No. 5 guy because Nick Trenholm missed some significant time with an injury and today he started to show he’s a big part of our future as well.” In Zullo’s view, the PHS team has a bright future. “We want to be a program that everyone is looking at, whether we have five guys under 16 :30 or we have five guys under 18:30,” said Zullo. “Tyler really put together a great season ; and our sophomores, we had them going from running freshmen races last year to some of the top varsity races in the country this year. They had no time to get that JV experience.” —Bill Alden

PHS Football Breaks Through with 2 Wins, Laying Foundation for Future Success

Wayne Sutcliffe knew that his Princeton High boys’ soccer team didn’t have much margin for this error this fall as it looked to maintain its status as a local powerhouse. “Coming into the season, we knew we had a ver y young team,” said PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe. “In order for things to go well, we were going to have to stay relatively injury-free.” Unfortunately, Murphy’s Law ended up applying to the Little Tigers as the squad suffered a slew of injuries. “We had a multitude of injuries; we had three concussions, two of which were

season ending,” said Sutcliffe. “We had a multitude of other injuries that played a role on making it even more challenging.” Despite those challenges, PHS produced another winning campaign as it went 8-6-3 and advanced to the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals. “We were in every game; we won enough games,” said Sutcliffe. “We didn’t lose one game by more than one goal, except for the last one (a 3-0 loss to WW/PNorth in the first round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectionals) and the Pennington game (2-0) in the MCT.”

Sutcliffe credited the senior group with keeping PHS competitive. “T hey were courageous and they had a lot to live up to, Atticus [Lynch], Seb [Ratzan], Tommy [Reid] and the others [ Josh Nieman, A lec Korsah, Grant Luther, Zad Mahana, Van Lal Ven, and Jesus Lazo],” said Sutcliffe. “It is challenging when you have a lot to live up to and you don’t have a loaded senior class full of experience. They were a small class and they didn’t have a particularly large junior class to support them. We were all proud of their efforts and their resilience.” The Little Tigers got some good efforts from the new faces on the roster. “At times this season, we had five or six sophomores on the field at the same time,” noted Sutcliffe. “We had two freshmen who were rostered full time on the varsity team. Our freshman team was ver y strong. I can’t wait to get started in March with the strength training.” Sutcliffe believes that the lessons the younger players learned this fall will help them deal with the grind that comes with pursuing the program’s championship tradition “They have a lot to look forward to; I couldn’t be more proud, especially with the younger guys, of their resilience and their courage in these games,” said Sutcliffe. “It is impor tant to remember how challenging it is and learn about the reality of that; playing in the CVC and then getting into the two tournaments, MCT and state tournament. More than that, it is just about the resilience that you have to have every day in training and being at your best. It is not easy.” —Bill Alden

PDS Boys’ Cross Country Saves its Best for Last, Placing 5th in State Prep B Championship Meet Af ter tak ing its lumps early in the fall, the Princeton Day School boys’ cross country team saved its best for last. Building on a positive performance at the Mercer County championship meet in mid- October that saw several runners post personal bests, PDS ended the season by placing a solid fifth in the team standings at the state Prep B meet at the Blair Academy on October 24 won by Newark Academy. “That was a terrific way to end to season; we were looking at that kind of performance and hoping for that all year,” said PDS head coach John Woodside, whose team was led at the meet by sophomore Gunnar Clingman, the seventh place finisher in a time of 17:46 over the 5,000-meter course with junior Kevin Dougherty coming in 14th at 18:41. “There is no question that there were a lot of struggles early on.” In the first few weeks of the campaign, the Panthers struggled to stay together as a pack with its younger runners working to get up to speed. “At the beginning of the season we had a four-minute gap from No. 2 to No. 3, that was killing us,” said Woodside. “We had four seniors who

graduated from last year’s team, and t hat was t he whole mill of our pack. We had young kids who were trying to move up, and we had new kids coming out who were trying to figure the sport out, so it took them a while to do it but they came along.” It w as com for t i ng for Woodside to have the battle-tested Dougherty leading the way. “Kevin has been a rock for t hree years because even as a freshman he was right up in the front,” said Woodside. “He has really been right up in the front of the pack for three years. Kevin has done so much for our program. I can’t say enough about how great he has been. He didn’t have one of his better days at the Prep B meet, but he fought as hard as he could because he knew his performance would really matter for the team.” Clingman has emerged as a frontrunner for PDS. “We were hoping for big things from him and he had a good season ; this year it was even better,” said Woodside, noting that Clingman wasn’t able to get in mileage he wanted this summer due to a camp commitment. “He came back and I was a little concerned. He is very focused and very com-

petitive kid and he wants to be great. He really pushed himself hard. Give Kevin a lot of credit because he helped to pull Gunnar up.” At the Prep B meet, the Panthers had several other runners step up as junior George Ma took 26th in 19 : 33, s ophomore T ha run Potluri placed 37th in 20:11, senior Amon Devane came in 42nd in 20:29, junior Justin Mortman finished 43rd in 20:48, and sophomore Shivam Singh was 44th in 21:11. “George was new to cross country this year; he was a spr inter when he was younger,” said Woodside. “We said ‘why don’t you come out and t r y cross country?’ and he did. He really turned out to be good at it. Podluri really got good at the end of the year. We had a young team this year. They had to develop and they did.” Looking ahead, Woodside believes the program has the foundation in place to develop into a force at the prep level. “I feel like it is getting solid and more solid every year; now we have a platform to jump off of that is higher than it was,” said Woodside. “When I first started here we had an older team; we had a lot of juniors and seniors. When they moved on and the other kids come in and filled in, it was a little bit of build up. We don’t have a lot of kids at the school. We did have 19 on the team this year, that is starting to get to a pretty good level. I had a full JV team in every race this year.” —Bill Alden

Struggling to a 2-9 record by mid-October, the Hun School field hockey team could have thrown in the towel over the last few weeks of the season. Instead, Hun kept pushing, winning four of its last six games to end the fall with a 6-11 record. “We made tremendous improvement, both myself and my assistant coach (Christine Caberle) were very happy with the way that we had improved,” said Hun head coach Kathy Quirk, noting that one of the ream’s finest efforts down the stretch came when they battled hard in a 3-0 loss to Blair in the state Prep A semis game. “We just grew as a team, a lot of individuals grew.” That growth culminated with a memorable finale as Hun defeated Mercers-

Denyse E. Reid Denyse E. Reid died on November 14, 2018 at the Acorn Glen Assisted Living Facility in Princeton, NJ, where she has been a resident for eight years. She had been a Princeton, NJ, resident since 1954. Born to Jacques and Germaine Van Hove in Brussels, Belgium on September 28, 1922, Denyse attended school at Grasbeec School from K through 12. After one year at the Catholic St. Louis College in Brussels, she then attended three years at a school of design before and during the war, where she won first prize in clothes design. Her father was a career soldier who eventually he became colonel of the King’s regiment. Denyse’s favorite memories of the war and its aftermath were seeing the Belgian flag for the first time, after five years of German occupation, on a British Tank as it drove down the Boulevard and answering the

door as her father returned from prison camp. Due to her English skills, Denyse held various positions in service to the allied forces, including as assistant to the British military Mayor of Brussels. She met her future husband John Reid when he was assigned as an air aide to the SHAEF headquarters in Brussels two months before battle of the Bulge. Jack and Denyse were married on July 24, 1946 in Manhattan. The couple lived in Charlotte, NC, and East Hampton, NY, before finally settling in Princeton in 1954. Denyse served as a Grey Lady aide in the hospital at Fort Dix. She served as the chairman of several international festivals at the Princeton YWCA. Later, she joined the Princeton Township Advisory Board for open space. Denyse also chaired t h e P r i n ce ton Pla n n i ng Board Site Plan Review Advisory Committee for many years. Denyse became aware of the Federal Clean Water Act and recommended to the Princetons that they start a regional sewer plan. She became a member of the regional sewer operating committee and came to be known as the “Sewer Lady.” Denyse enjoyed her many travels around the world. Denyse and Jack summered in East Hampton, NY, and after Jack’s death in 1990, she spent more and more time there before moving to Acorn Glen. Denyse is survived by her sons John and Archibald, Archibald’s wife Karen, grandsons John and Thomas Reid, her sister Ann Marie, and her nieces Pascal and Ariane Hoyois. Her daughter Anne died in 1976. Grandson John was particularly attentive to her in her final years.

Loved and loving, surrogate mother to may lost souls, Denyse leaves a legacy of community service and intense curiosity.

Helen Joyce Curran Warren Helen Joyce Curran Warren, 91, died on November 12th, 2018. She had been a resident of Princeton since 1968. Helen was born in Abington, PA, and grew up in Jenkintown, PA, the daughter of Dr. Francis Joseph and Margaret Barry Curran and sister to her twin Patricia, Joan, Jane, and brother James, all of whom predeceased her. Helen graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in English from Arcadia Universit y ( for merly Beaver College) in Jenkintown in 1948, where at different times she was the editor-inchief of the school newspaper and the literary magazine. Helen was selected to appear in the 1947-48 edition of Who’s Who in American Universities and Colleges. She worked in the summer as a counselor at one of the country’s first interracial camps, founded in the Catskills by a Harlem doctor. One of her favorite campers grew up to be the playwright and screenwriter Michael Weller, with whom she reconnected in

recent years. After graduation Helen worked in New York City as a magazine researcher and volunteered at Dorothy Day’s Catholic Worker Movement, an association she maintained throughout her life. During a time in Cleveland, Ohio, she was the editor for The Ohio Observer, Shell Oil’s company newspaper. Helen obtained a Master’s degree in Education from The College of New Jersey and taught Senior English for many years at Montgomery High School in Skillman, NJ, where she advised the school newspaper as part of her lifelong love of journalism. Among her other enthusiasms were Frank Sinatra’s music, Anthony Hopkins’ acting, and Jay Lamont’s radio show All About Real Estate. With her close circle of teacher friends, Helen made many overseas trips, including to her ancestral homeland of Ireland. Helen was married to John Edward Warren, who worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation as a Supervisory Special Agent in the New York field office and predeceased her. They had three sons, Timothy and John of Princeton and Richard of Lambertville, NJ. Other beloved survivors include her daughters-in-law Maryann and Ellen; grandsons Patrick (his wife Jolene), Philip (his wife Ruth), and Davis; two great-grandsons Oliver and Ethan; her sister-in-law Cathy; and many nephews and nieces, including Jane and Kathryn Monahan and James McIlvaine who were very involved in their aunt’s care in her last year. C o n d ol e n c e s a n d a n y inquiries can be sent to tswarr@yahoo.com. A memorial gathering will be held in Princeton some time in early January.
