Holiday Section Pages 24-31

The three Princeton professors conducting Monday’s panel discussion before a packed house at the Woodrow Wilson School’s Dodds Auditorium found themselves facing a different, far more difficult challenge than the one they had originally prepared for. The future under Donald Trump’s administration is full of uncertainty and extremes of possibilities, they agreed, and each ventured their “best guesses” as to what might happen. “Where Do We Go From Here? Policy Priorities for the Trump Administration” was the title of the forum, and the answer was a resounding, “we’re not sure.” “How much will Washington shape Trump? And how much will Trump shape Washington?” asked Brandice CanesWrone, professor of Politics and Public Affairs and vice dean of the Woodrow Wilson School. Commenting on foreign policy and some of the extreme statements Mr. Trump has made on his America-first policy of protectionism and nationalism, Professor of Politics and International Affairs Helen V. Milner observed, “Whether he’s actually going to do these things is a different matter.” The speakers seemed to agree that there are at least three levels of uncertainty in speculating on what lies ahead: what Mr. Trump says he will do, what he ends up trying to do, and what actually happens amidst the constraints of domestic and international politics. Ilyana Kuziemko, professor of economics and co-director of the Center for Health and Wellbeing, echoed her colleagues in discussing the future of health care and the Affordable Care Act, which both president-elect Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have promised to repeal. “It’s one thing to say you’re going to do it,” she said, “and another to actually take away people’s insurance.” Though the theme of uncertainty prevailed, with occasional notes of optimism, the prevailing tone was pessimistic, and occasionally fearful. Ms. Milner, who is director of the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance, warned that the early appointments — Michael Flynn as national security advisor and others — indicate that “Trump is going to be militaristic. He’s appointing people who have deep Continued on Page 14

Weekend Fires Damage Two Princeton Properties

Two separate fires on Sunday caused extensive damage to three shops on Witherspoon and Spring Streets and an office building at 601 Ewing Street. There were no injuries reported, according to Princeton Police Lieutenant Chris Morgan. Fire departments from Princeton and eight surrounding communities responded to a two-alarm fire at 12:57 p.m. on Sunday at the Village Silver Shop, More Cafe, and Sakura Express in downtown Princeton. Witherspoon Street was closed for about two hours. The fire, apparently caused by a still lit cigarette butt in a plastic bucket, was extinguished in about an hour, and Witherspoon Street was closed for about two hours. The fire, starting on the steps of More Cafe on the Spring Street side of the building, had burned through the bucket and ignited the floor boards. It spread from the steps to the hallway and the basement. Additional smoke damage was reported to three apartments on the second floor, and the tenants were displaced. The fire is under investigation by the Princeton fire inspector’s office. In addition to Princeton Fire Department; Lawrenceville, Rocky Hill, Princeton Junction, Plainsboro, Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, Montgomery, and Kingston responded to the call; with Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad,

PSE&G, and the municipal fire inspector in attendance. Another fire occurred earlier that morning at 2:29 a.m. in office building C at 601 Ewing Street. Fire officials, alerted by a smoke detector, arrived to find flames coming from shrubbery on the front side of the building, according to Mr. Morgan. As they attempted to extinguish the fire, they saw more flames inside and extensive smoke in the foyer area.

The Princeton Fire Department — assisted by Hopewell, Montgomery, and Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, with Princeton and Montgomery First Aid and Rescue Squads, PSE&G and the fire official in attendance — extinguished the fire in about 20 minutes, according to Bob Gregory, director of emergency management. Mr. Morgan reported that the building Continued on Page 21

University Officials and Faculty Respond To Student Demands for Immigrant Rights In response to the recent election and its aftermath, with fear and uncertainties that prompted a demonstration by hundreds of University community members last Thursday, Princeton faculty members and key administrators have issued separate statements of support for students’ rights and diversity, and against racism and discrimination. Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber, who had issued a statement to the Princeton community on November 11, asserting “our steadfast commitment to embrace people of all ethnicities, religions, nationalities, genders, and identities and our equally fundamental com-

mitment to foster the free and vigorous exchange of ideas,” has also signed a statement, along with over 100 other college and university presidents, calling for the continuation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which protects eligible undocumented students from being placed in removal proceedings and grants them authorization for employment. The faculty statement released last Thursday, signed by more than 300 people, declares that, amid reports of hate crimes on campuses, the Princeton professors and lecturers “firmly emphasize our belief that all members of our Continued on Page 21

ton, gigs with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and a tour to China on its schedule. According to choir president Kerry Heimann, the school has come through Chapter 11 restructured, reorganized, and more efficient. “Our case was closed November 1,” he said last week. “We’re kind of feeling reborn. We’re finding our way in this new world and have a lot we’re excited about, so we’re hoping for the best.”

TOPICS Of the Town It was in April 2015 that the boarding school for fourth-to-eighth-grade boys filed for bankruptcy and announced it needed $350,000 to finish out the school year. Additional funds had to be raised as part of the annual fund drive. Parents, teachers, and members of the community rallied to raise enough money to keep the school going, but the boarding model had to be temporarily abandoned. The choir has performed with such ensembles as The New York Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra, and The Boston Symphony, under the batons of such conductors as James Levine, Charles Dutoit, and Alan Gilbert. A 2014 film based on the school titled Boychoir starring Dustin Hoffman, Kathy Bates, Josh Lucas, and Debra Winger failed to gain national distribution after debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film featured performances by the choristers and appearances by staff members. The choir sold Albemarle, its longtime Princeton location and the former estate of pharmaceutical magnate Gerard Lambert for $6 million in January of 2013. After selling, the school moved to the campus of the former St. Joseph’s Seminary on Mapleton Road in Plainsboro. The organization relocated in September 2015 to the Rambling Pines Summer Day Camp in Hopewell. Since then, students from out of town have been staying with local families, most of whom are parents of current pupils or recent graduates. T he student body, formerly at 50 students, currently numbers 30. But

more are expected to join in January. The transition to Rambling Pines has gone smoothly. “It has been a wonderful place for us to operate,” Mr. Heimann said. “The campus is so well developed as far as outdoor activities are concerned. It’s safe and it’s quiet. At this point, we’re looking for a long-term relationship with them — unless I win the power ball,” he added with a laugh. “But we do look forward to having a dormitory again.” The school’s touring choir is the same size as it was before the bankruptcy filing. Music director Fernando Malvar-Ruiz said the artistic output of the choir has not

changed. “If you hear the choir now and heard them eight years ago, there would be very little difference,” he said. “Artistically, I feel the choir is in as solid a position as it has ever been.” The choir will be performing holiday concerts December 5 at Nassau Presbyterian Church and December 18 at Richardson Auditorium. At the December 5 event, the choir joins host Rob Kapilow on the series What Makes it Great? in collaboration with the radio station WWFM and performs Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. The December 18 concert features the same work, along with other classic holiday music and a sing-along. The following evening, the choir will sing at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Mr. Malvar-Ruiz said it is possible that the upcoming tour to China will become something the choir undertakes every two years. “This is not only a good opportunity educationally and artistically, but financially as well,” he said. “The artistic outlook of the choir is as good as it has ever been, and in some ways we are better poised for the future. In many ways, we are ahead now in ways we were not when the bankruptcy came about. The whole season is booked, and we’re well into booking the next season and starting to book the following one. We’re starting to work two seasons ahead.” The choir is singing three different scores with the Philadelphia Orchestra in the coming months: Carl Or ff ’s Carmina Burana, Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, and Mahler’s Third Symphony. “Facing bankruptcy is no one’s first choice,” Mr. Heimann said. “But the silver lining of the experience was that the community really pulled together and found a way to keep it moving regardless. It’s difficult to make changes, but bankruptcy forces your hand. It forced us all to really ask ourselves, what is the essence of the American Boychoir and the experience for our students? What parts do we need to make solid and what do we need to change?” —Anne Levin

The Arts Council of Princeton announced Tuesday that, after a national search, the organization has selected Taneshia Nash Laird as its new executive director. A regionally and nationally recognized leader in arts and economic development, Ms. Nash Laird will serve as the ACP’s third executive director since the organization’s founding in 1967. Ms. Nash Laird is currently the owner of Legacy Business Advisors, a community development consultancy that provides strategic communications, business development, and finance strategies to social entrepreneurs and government agencies. Previously, she was co-founder and chief marketing officer of MIST Harlem, a multimillion-dollar cultural and entertainment center focused on the African and Latino diaspora.

From 2006-2011, Ms. Nash Laird served as executive director of the Trenton Downtown Association (TDA), where she led a reorganization that focused on business development, place making, and tourism. With the belief that the arts are essential to the revitalization of an urban community, she launched a new community art gallery and the Destination Trenton cultural tourism initiative. Under her leadership, TDA won an Award of Recognition from the New Jersey Historical Commission and a Diamond Award from the New Jersey Tourism Association. Previous to that, Ms. Nash Laird held executive positions in both public and private sectors. She was recently tapped by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to be a grants panelist, providing recommendations on

ARTS ADVOCATE: Taneshia Nash Laird is the new executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton, replacing Jeff Nathanson who is stepping down after 11 years.

funding place-based projects throughout the country in the Art Works: Design category. She currently serves on the board of the Art Pride NJ Foundation. “Taneshia Nash Laird is an exciting new leader for the Arts Council of Princeton as it moves into its next halfcentury,” said Ted Deutsch, board president of the Arts Council of Princeton. “She brings a unique blend of arts, economic development, and marketing expertise that will help us deliver on our mission in creative ways and deepen our outreach to the greater Princeton community.” “As an area resident for nearly two decades, I’ve watched the Arts Council of Princeton grow significantly, and I have experienced firsthand the many ways in which it invites area residents to engage in the arts through its diverse programming,” added Ms. Nash Laird. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to lead this deeply respected organization with such a rich legacy of community building. For me, the appointment fulfills a lifelong dream to lead a regional arts organization and make a significant community impact.” Ms. Nash Laird is the coauthor of Still I Rise : A Graphic History of African Americans, which depicts Black history in a 210-page comic book format. In October she was the recipient of an award of recognition from the Princeton Committee of the United Negro College Fund. She earned her BBA in Marketing Management from Bernard Baruch College, City

People’s Choice Award for Nassau Street Is “An Enormous Honor” for Princeton

Princeton has earned its share of awards and honors over the years. But local officials consider the latest designation, The American Planning Association’s naming of Nassau Street as winner of the 2016 “People’s Choice” award in the Great Places in America program, to be especially significant. “Win n ing t he People’s Choice Award for Great Places in America is an enormous honor for our town, and it’s an honor shared w ith our planning staff, Historic Preservation Commission, local merchants, Princeton University (which helps to ensure we have an independent bookstore and movie theater), residents,

and visitors,” said Mayor Liz Lempert in an email. “Nassau Street’s lively mix is also a result of wise decisions by our predecessors, who helped to plan and shape the street over generations into a place with a sense of place that has withstood the test of time.” The designation was officially announced at the November 14 meeting of Princeton Council. Following a brief presentation, American Planning Association board member Courtenay D. Mercer presented the governing body with a special plaque. As past president of the New Jersey chapter of the organization, she was pleased to see a New Jersey town win-

ning the honor. “Nassau Street is an awesome place,” Ms. Mercer said, “renowned for its historic character and the way it embraces a mixed-use philosophy, which we planners really love. It serves as a social hub of the community.” For the past three years, the American Planning Association has asked the public to nominate their favorite public space, neighborhood, or street. Suggestions are collected in the first half of October through social media outlets, and five finalists are then selected. According to Ms. Mercer, nearly 100 suggestions were received this year. Once the five finalists were picked, the public

was asked to vote during the second part of the month. Nassau Street won the most votes, edging out The Millwork District in Dubuque, Iowa; Sims Park, New Port Richey, Florida; the Pearl District in San A ntonio, Texas; and the Whiteaker Neighborhood in Eugene, Oregon. S e v e r a l o t h e r “G r e a t Places in America” were recognized this year. In the Great Neighborhoods category, those named included Downtown Santa Ana, California ; Midtown Atlanta, Georgia, and Old Louisville, Kentucky. The Great Public Spaces category recognized Fairmount Park in Philadelphia; Golden Heart Plaza in Fairbanks, Alaska; and Findlay Market in Cincinnati, Ohio; among others. Those named as Great Streets in-

W-J Development Corporation Resumes Active Role in Support of Neighborhood

To the Editor: The Witherspoon-Jackson Development Corporation (WJDC) was established in 1976. It is a 40-year-old organization with an impressive history of serving the Witherspoon-Jackson (WJ) neighborhood. Initially, with $90K in funding, its efforts focused on redeveloping the original Shirley Court into new affordable for-sale housing units. The organization later began purchasing and repairing existing neighborhood homes to sell to Witherspoon-Jackson families. WJDC also extended help to some existing property owners towards the payment of property taxes. Remarkably, the organization facilitated the purchase of 23 houses in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood by the mid-1980’s. Unfortunately, without sufficient funds in a competitive real estate market, the organization experienced a long period of dormancy. In the past year, due to the many dynamics affecting the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, steps have been taken to revive the WJDC. Resurrected, the WJDC hopes to continue as a resource in addressing neighborhood issues of affordable housing, home ownership, maintenance, and supporting the residency of longtime families in the WJ neighborhood. This summer, interested members of the community met to discuss creative ways for the organization to explore the nature, use and type of existing properties through zoning or other measures in order to address diverse housing needs, economic development, and neighborhood services. At that meeting, a vigorous discussion ensued on the need for the neighborhood to secure a position in its physical planning and long term viability as a socio-economically diverse neighborhood, recently designated as the Witherspoon-Jackson Historic District. Last month, WJDC was fortunate to have been granted $1.25M from Princeton University as a stipulation of the property tax lawsuit settlement. The grant will be dispersed over three years to help support WJDC’s general mission. WJDC appreciates the recognition of past accomplishments, is humbled by Princeton University’s faith in it as a revived organization, and looks forward to the active participation by the University as a member of the WJDC Board of Directors. WJDC leadership is particularly grateful to the Eleanor Lewis Estate and the 27 plaintiffs, most of whom are Witherspoon-Jackson property owners. Represented by attorney Bruce Afran, they challenged the status of the University as a non-profit organization in its payment of municipal property taxes. Because of the generosity and courage of these plaintiffs, many property owners throughout Princeton will benefit. The settlement also stipulated the dispersal of funds for a tax relief program for those who qualify for the NJ State Homestead Rebate Program, for which the application deadline is November 30, 2016. While the projected sum of the lawsuit settlement to the WJDC provides a real boost to advance the organization’s efforts to address various issues from program development through to implementation, WJDC will still need to develop a vigorous financial plan and engage in fundraising to address the rising costs of real estate, some of which are tenfold since the founding of the organization. On December 1, 2016 WJDC will hold its first meeting of the full board of directors and advisory board. We look forward to the challenging work ahead under the guidance of a diverse, experienced, expert, and energized group of volunteers who will be dedicated to addressing a broad set of neighborhood needs and aspirations. We invite the community to join us in this journey and ask for your support. HENRy PANNELL, JOAN HILL, PENNEy EDWARDS-CARTER, yINA MOORE

Grandmother and Grandson on Opposite Sides Of Political Divide Will Begin a Daily Exchange

To the Editor: My grandson and I reached an agreement today. He is going to be my guide and interpreter in the foreign land I suddenly feel my country to be. I am a progressive Democrat. My grandson, 17, is a conservative Republican. We’re both appalled by how the other’s side is acting. He, his conservative family (parents and sister) and I are living under one roof, and for the past months we all agreed to not discuss politics. That is no longer possible. We have to talk. Because my grandson holds the strongest views opposing mine, I decided to start by talking to him. I told Oliver, first, that I love him more (incalculably) than I disagree with him and that that will always be true. I told him I need him to help me understand what his side believes and fears, because I can’t understand it on my own. I have asked Oliver to be my guide as the country heads wherever it is on its way to now. He has agreed. Our starting point will be a daily exchange of a) news stories and b) things we’ve heard or seen in the course of the day that especially anger us about the other side — he at school, I among colleagues or on the street. He will explain what I bring to him. I will try to do the same. Our intention is for this to be an ongoing arrangement. We also intend to disseminate what we learn from each other among our friends. It is an exchange. Oliver and I anticipate tension. I know I will learn from him. I hope he will learn from me. If you love someone on the other side, you might consider such an agreement with them. If a lot of us do this — starting right now — it might make a difference. We need to. KATE HUGHES DEL TUfO Ober Road

Certainly nothing in my suburban and sheltered childhood could help me imagine the significant challenges that Inge faced as a young girl when she and her family found themselves trapped in Germany during World War II. There was the terror of air raids along with near starvation conditions. fortunately, she and her family survived to make the voyage home to Brazil. In 1968 they left Brazil for the promise of a better life in America. I will always appreciate the significant contributions Inge made to our family. On countless occasions she cared for our kids when my wife and I had to work or when we needed time for ourselves. Her family dinners were replete with sumptuous food prepared by a woman whose only earthly riches were her family. Those who don’t have an Inge to share the holiday with might consider joining community members for an hourlong service on Thanksgiving Day at first Church of Christ, Scientist in Princeton (csprinceton.org).

Town Topics Reader Wants to Know If Princeton Is Or Is Not a “Sanctuary City”

To the Editor: your front page article [Community Leaders Speak to an Anxious Crowd at Post-Electiin Gathering,” Nov. 16} about the post-election Community Leaders gathering has some very ambiguous language in paragraph four. Without quoting anyone in particular the reporter states that Princeton is “considered” a Sanctuary City. This is an issue of significance. If Council has voted to make us one, there are likely major ramifications going forward. Sanctuary Cities are a clear violation of federal law. Love Obama or not it’s indisputable that this was a law that our current president chose to ignore. Soon we will have a new sheriff in D.C. town who is unlikely to take such liberties with federal law. If we insist on designating our town as a Sanctuary City, Princeton is likely to lose federal funding for all Town programs. They must be cut back or funded with additional taxpayer monies. “Considered” is not the word Town Topics should use in describing Princeton’s status as a Sanctuary City. We are or we aren’t one … and the distinction is about to become relevant. NELSON OBUS Russell Road Editor’s Note: After being contacted by Town Topics, Mayor Lempert said this: “We are a ‘welcoming community’ and Council voted to make Princeton part of the Welcoming America network. Police Chief Sutter issued an order back in 2013 clarifying the role of our police in protecting local public safety. Here is a link to the order: www.ilrc.org/sites/default/files/resources/1_-_ princeton_police_detainer_order.pdf. The order makes it clear that the role of the police department is to protect public safety, and that to be effective, the police must foster trust within the communities they serve so that victims and witnesses feel safe in coming forward to report crimes.

or will be living on social security, with or without a 401k, to pay pension benefits of public employees for the duration of their lifetimes and of their beneficiaries’ lifetimes. A silver plan and a 401k should be sufficient for public sector employees and will be in line with what the private sector offers. It will save the State billions of dollars every year and will reduce property taxes. Unfortunately, there is no logical reason for this inequality. The only reason is pure greed, corruption, and lack of courage to tackle those problems that will ultimately bankrupt our state if no action is taken. If you already have over 200 billion dollars of unfunded pension liabilities that you cannot pay, how will you ever be able to pay it by adding to that liability? Even public sector employees should wise up and accept smaller and guaranteed benefits instead of accepting the promise of much larger but illusive benefits. Politicians pay large amounts of money for advice on how to get elected and re-elected. I am giving you simple and free advice that will guarantee you will get re-elected forever if you follow one simple rule: Serve the people, not the special interest groups. If you think you are invincible and this rule does not apply to you, I suggest you look at what happened to Hillary and the Democrats nationwide and think again. GEORGE KNEISSER SR.

Dress for Success Mercer County Holds Cocktails for a Cause Event at Greenacres

To the Editor; On November 10, Dress for Success Mercer County (DfSMC) held its annual Cocktails for a Cause event at Greenacres Country Club. This year’s theme, Designing the future, celebrated the women who have had the courage and determination to take steps to make a better life for themselves and their families. At Dress for Success it all begins with a suit, but we are so much more. We are support, we are encouragement, and we are an opportunity for women to learn, grow, and design a better future. Empowering women to achieve economic independence is what drives the staff and the volunteers at Dress for Success every day. Since 2007 more than 4,000 women have been through our programs. This year alone, we will have served more than 1,000 women. At DfSMC, we understand the challenges faced by lowincome, underserved, and underrepresented women seeking to break the cycle of poverty. Through our personalized career development programs, we support women through every stage of their professional development, starting with their job search and leading to sustained employment. We are the only community program that responds to the career development needs of this vulnerable population. Our Cocktails for a Cause event was an incredible success and I would like to congratulate this year’s honorees Dr. Jianping Wang, president of Mercer County Community College, PNC Bank, and Hamilton Jewelers. The services we provide would not be possible without the generous support of the community. A tremendous thanks to our Designing the future sponsors, guests, event committee, and all of the individuals and businesses that contributed auction prizes. your generosity will help Dress for Success Mercer County continue its legacy of providing quality programming and support to women who are ready to enter and thrive in the workforce.

Despite all the money his opponent spent, all the organization she had, all the establishment support she enjoyed, and all the predictions of the media, it was not enough to defeat the will of the people who sent a loud and clear message that the status quo of politics-as-usual, that benefits only the few at the expense of everyone else, was no longer acceptable. In case things evaded your attention or you’re oblivious to what is happening in your own state, the people here in New Jersey are also sick and tired of the same politicsas-usual. It might be time for all of you in Trenton, both Democrats and Republicans, to get together and solve the biggest and most urgent problem facing all New Jerseyans, which is property tax. Property tax reform cannot be achieved without a reform of the benefits currently enjoyed by the public sector employees. It’s time to level the field and bring all public sector benefits in line with the private sector. It’s unreasonable to ask the average citizen, who can hardly afford health insurance for him and his family, to pay for an annual $30,000 platinum plan for a public sector employee. It’s also unconscionable to ask an average citizen, who lives

To the Editor: On November 24 our great country will pause to observe a national tradition of expressing gratitude. While you might find it amazing to think a guy can be grateful for his mother-in-law, I feel compelled to share the many fine qualities of selflessness expressed by a woman who won’t be sitting with us around the Thanksgiving table this year. It is clear that we are living in troubled times. fame, opportunity, and wealth would seem to rush at a small percentage of our population, while too many experience tragedy, loneliness, and frustration. Brother David SteindlRast, author of Gratefulness, the Heart of Prayer: An Approach to Life in Fullness, asked this probing question that reminded me of my mother-in-law, “Do we find it difficult to imagine that gratefulness could ever become our basic attitude toward life?” It was impossible not to be inspired by the shining example of everyday thanksgiving and selfless love exemplified by my mother-in-law, Inge Minc. How did she develop this kind, compassionate, and easily flowing love? While she never spoke about it to me or my wife, it was as if adversity compelled her to make an early choice between an expansive or narrow life. Perhaps she intuitively knew the old saying, “if you’ve forgotten the language of gratitude, you’ll never be on speaking terms with happiness.”

Raboteau, Glaude, and Stout Discuss “American Prophets” at Labyrinth Albert Raboteau and his colleagues in Religious and African American Studies Eddie Glaude and Jeffrey Stout w ill be discussing his new book American Prophets: Seven Religious Leaders and Their Struggle (Princeton Univ. Press $29.95) at Labyrinth Books on Wednesday, November 30 at 6 p.m. Described by Tavis Smiley as “a powerful text, empowering to read,” American Prophets tells the stories of Abraham Joshua Heschel, A. J. Muste, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Thomas Merton, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Fannie Lou Hamer, individuals who succeeded in conveying their vision to the broader public through writing, speaking, demonstrating, and organizing. Mr. Raboteau traces how their paths crossed and their lives intertwined, examining the influences that shaped their ideas. According to Publishers Weekly, “This scholarly yet accessible primer to the role of faith in the lives of American activists challenges contemporary notions of the role of religion in politics and argues that empathy is a critical first step in addressing the suffering of others.” Albert J. Raboteau is Professor of Religion Emeritus at Pr inceton Universit y. His books include Slave Religion : The “Invisible

Institution” in the Antebellum South, A Fire in the Bones: Reflections on African-American Religious History, and Canaan Land: A Religious History of African Americans. Eddie Glaude is professor of Religious and African American Studies at Princeton and the Chair of the Center for African American Studies. His books include Exodus! Religion, Race, and Nation in Early 19th Century Black America, In a Shade of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America, and most recently of Democracy in Black.

readers that poetry is essential because of how it says what can’t be expressed through prose.” America Poet calls Blackacre “a visit to an in-between, liminal world, with much to think about while we are there.” Monica Youn is the author of two previous poetry collections, Barter and Ignatz, which were finalists for the National Book Award.

Providing “Proof of Life” Face to Face, Bruce Springsteen Tells His Story

n the foreword to his best-selling autobiography Born to Run (Simon & Schuster $32.50), Bruce Springsteen pictures himself on a hypothetical stage “face to face with eighty thousand (or eighty) screaming rock’n’roll fans” waiting for him to do his “magic trick,” which is “to provide proof of life to that ever elusive, never completely believable ‘us.’” The writing of his life, then, will be his big show, his spectacle, and at 508 pages, the intention is clear: he’s going to give us our money’s worth. Before riding his motorcycle into the November twilight of the epilogue, he brings his book’s “proof of life” mission full circle in the face-to-face closing sentences of the “long and noisy prayer” and “magic trick” he’s hoping will “rock your very soul and then pass on, its spirit rendered, to be read, heard, sung and altered by you and your blood, that it might strengthen and help make sense of your story. Go tell it.” After five hundred-plus pages, the reader has gone from the never completely believable “us” to “you and your blood.” Performing the same unconventional departure from the standard second-person usage of “you” in an earlier chapter, he describes driving home on September 11 “to find my children, my wife, my people and you again.” Who is this “you”? Who else but the reader? It’s as if he’s entrusting his story, an article of faith, to a special friend in a personal letter, or it could be he’s looking beyond the artifice of the book to the executor of his creative estate. In the end, the most likely assumption is that he’s speaking one-on-one to his readers in “the only language” he’s ever known, the language of his songs, which are his way “to fight off the night terrors, real and imagined.” One of the songs he’ll write on the occasion of 9/11 for his album The Rising is titled “You’re Missing.” We’re the Song So, according to the presumed agreement between writer and reader that ends Born to Run, Springsteen’s story is ours to comprehend and carry with us through life. Reading it we own it. This is the essence of the “magic trick” he performs so powerfully in the song that gives the book its title. While Wendy and the “tramps like us” he’s singing to in “Born to Run” may be a composite of girls he knows, they’re also the audience he’s giving “proof of life” to. As long as we’re encompassed by what he calls “the raging wall of guitars and drums,” the sound of a singer “fighting to be heard over a world that didn’t give a damn” in “that 747-enginein-your-living-room rumble,” we’re in the song, it’s about us, he wants to be our friend, ours the “dreams and visions” he’s guarding. Whether you call it a 747 or a Harley or a comet, “Born to Run” picks us up and roars off with us. Like he says in the chapter about the making of the song, “Get yourself a great riff and you’re on your way.” Our Money’s Worth Halfway through Born to Run, readers,

including even lifelong fans, may be wishing that Springsteen hadn’t felt obliged to spend so much space detailing various complex professional dealings as he goes from learner to band member to leader to star to mega-celebrity-legend and multimillionaire. It’s tempting to give less attention to the lulls in his road-of-life show, to skim over the band/agent/record company stuff, and in so doing to lose traction and make the mistake of assuming he’s going to fall into the name-dropping scene-making traps of the typical celebrity memoir. Not to worry — he knows better. He may spend a few years living the life in L.A. but when his kids are school age, he comes home to New Jersey. Have faith. Some of Born to Run’s most moving and arresting passages come in the last hundred pages, including the one on 9/11 (“The Rising”), the death of Clarence Clemons (“Losing the Rain”), and, especially “Western Man,” the chapter about his father, as true and inspired a composition as any song he ever wrote. Then there’s his account of the depression that crushed him when he turned sixt y ( “Zero to Sixty in Nothing Flat”), which includes this songin-the-making on tears : “Buckets of ‘em, oceans of ‘em, black tears pouring down my face like tidewater r ushing over Niagara any and all hours of t he day. W hat was this about? It was like somebody opened the f loodgates and ran off with the key. There was NO stopping it. Bambi tears … Old Yeller tears … Fried Green Tomatoes tears … rain … tears … sun … tears … I can’t f ind my keys … tears. Ever y mundane daily event, any bump in the sentimental road, became a cause to let it all hang out. It would’ve been funny except it wasn’t.” There’s worse to come in the penultimate chapter (“Home Front”), where he gives us a frank account of the psychic nightmare he endured following “the most successful, well-attended and popular tour the E Street Band had ever done.” Because the shows are “an insane high,” a mild post-tour letdown is inevitable, but this was “something else altogether,” and he confides what he went through to us in unsparing detail. Freehold As is often true of memoirs, the chapters

on childhood in Born to Run are among its richest. Of the “towering” copper beech in the front yard, “the grandest tree in town,” he writes, “On nights when thunder rolls and lightning turns our family bedroom cobalt blue, I watch its arms move and come to life in the wind and white flashes as I lie awake worrying about my friend the monster outside” — “monster” because “one bolt of well-placed lightning and we’d all be dead as snails crushed beneath God’s litle finger.” In the book’s last chapter, he comes back to find the tree “gone, cut to the street …. A square of musty earth, carved into the parking lot blacktop at the pavement’s edge, was all that remained. It still held small snakes of root slightly submerged by dust and dirt, and there the arc of my tree, my life, lay plainly visible. My great tree’s life by county dictum or blade could not be ended or erased. Its history, its magic, was too old and too strong.” Heavy Lifting There’s a well-timed visit to Freehold, his “Rosebud,” a little over halfway through the book. His account of his clandestine return, “a fourwheeled phantom on the e d g e s of m y birth city,” is like music compared to t he prose equivalent of holding t he road, laboring to keep the narrative in the lane, a telling example of which occurs around the time he meets his eventual co-producer, manager, and clo s e f r i e n d , the rock critic Jon Landau, who penned t he line t hat helped put him on the map, “I have seen the future of rock and roll and his name is Bruce Springsteen.” Here’s what happens to Springseen’s prose when he’s introducing Landau: “Jon would serve me as a friend and mentor, someone who’d been exposed to and held information I felt would augment my creativity and deepen the truth seeking I was trying to make a part of my music … if you have the talent, then will, ambition, and the determination to expose yourself to new thoughts, counterarguments, new influences, will strengthen and fortify your work, driving you closer to home.” The best way to get past passages of “heavy lifting” like that is to keep believ-

ing in someone whose book is going to “rock your very soul.” Another way to keep your spirits up is to go to the library, as I did, and check out a DVD of the 1975 Hammersmith Odeon concert, which reveals the magic no recording could ever duplicate as Bruce dives, crawls, ties himself up and breaks through the chains like a rock’n’roll Houdini. Working-Class Lives And you can always go to the albums. I found something in his words about the inspiration driving Darkness on the Edge of Town that sent me from a post-election funk back to the music. In that chapter, haunted by the presence of his father, “taxi driver, assembly line worker, autoworker, jail guard, bus driver, truck driver,” he sees the way ahead: “Here was where I wanted to make my stand musically and search for my own questions and answers. I didn’t want out. I wanted in. I didn’t want to erase, escape, forget, or reject. I wanted to understand. What were the social forces that held my parents’ lives in check? Why was it so hard? In my search I would blur the lines between the personal and psychological factors that made my father’s life so difficult and the political issues that kept a tight clamp on working-class lives across the United States.” Try reading that passage without thinking of the issues that led to the election of Donald Trump. It’s a connection Springsteen is acutely aware of, as he makes clear in a mid-October 2016 interview with Matt Frei, even while declaring his absolute certainty that Trump is going to lose. But the conviction with which he admits the appeal of Trump’s message to the workers who have lost their jobs (“That’s your life walking away from you”) casts a certain doubt on his optimism about the election. Election Eve t the time of the Frei interview, Springsteen expresses little interest in helping out Hillary. My guess is that what finally brought him to the election eve rally in Philadelphia was the devastating hit delivered by FBI director Comey. Although he performed surrounded by a crowd giddy with the prospect of victory, he played and sang his three songs as if he knew better. Unplugged, the anthemic excitement is missing from “Thunder Road,” same with the usually wildly infectious “Dancing in the Dark,” where his laid-back vocal brings out the negatives like “I ain’t nothing but tired,” not to mention “crying over a broken heart” and “little world falling apart.” The third song, “A Long Way Home,” which he introduced as “a prayer for the post-election,” sounded more like prophecy than prayer, if you take “home” to mean the White House. Bruce at Morven You can see the Frank Stefano photograph used for the cover of Born to Run in all its full-scale glory in Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey, which will be at Morven Museum and Garden through May 21, 2017. —Stuart Mitchner

Trump Presidency continued from page one

military experience and who are anti-Muslim.” She noted Mr. Trump’s lack of knowledge about foreign affairs and stated, “he’s going to react to the militaristic approach to solve problems. I would not be surprised if in two years we were at war with Iran.” Ms. Milner also cited “very grave threats to civil liberties,” with less freedom of the press (“he doesn’t like the press when it disagrees with him”). In enumerating some of Mr. Trump’s extreme positions, she mentioned international treaties he disagrees with, his vows to retaliate against Mexico and China, warming up to Russia and Syria, ending the promotion of democracy and human rights, “closing borders, building walls, expelling people, stopping immigration, and terminating climate change agreements.” Ms. Milner went on to remind the audience of about 200 that Mr. Trump will be “very constrained by domestic politics, Congress, and the press,” and, like all politicians, will be forced to backtrack on campaign promises. She mentioned pressures from corporate America, which is heavily dependent on the global trade network and would not take

kindly to trade wars leading to increased unemployment and possible recession. Also, she discussed external constraints from foreign governments and the international pressures to move away from an Americafirst policy towards a more normal foreign policy. “I go back and forth between the two extremes,” Ms. Milner said, as she pointed out the relative lack of constraints with “single party government, all Republican, all the time” in the U.S., and the nation as “a superpower, which can suffer through consequences from limited external constraints.” Observing that Mr. Trump has not yet “fully shifted from reality TV to the presidency,” Ms. Canes-Wrone asked, ”Which Donald Trump will emerge? Will he be more moderate than George W. Bush, or much more to the right?” She noted his protectionist pronouncements in foreign policy, but argued, ”I think we’ll end up seeing something in the middle.“ She acknowledged that he would make changes, but stated that, in response to the voters, “On many issues he will be less extreme than people expect. He will cater to the same voters who elected him, and that in itself will cause some constraint. On other is-

sues he will cede to Ryan and the Republicans.” Pointing out the “good news” that social security will probably remain intact, Ms. Kuziemko conjectured that health care was the biggest question mark for the new administration. Mr. Trump and the Republican Congress agree that Obamacare should be repealed, but there seem to be no specific proposals for what comes next. “It is not clear what will replace it,” she said. She continued, ”Medicare is very popular as it currently exists. The elderly and near elderly are the biggest group of Trump supporters. It’s very uncertain which way they’re going to go on health care issues.” As the president-elect continues preparations for his January inauguration, these issues may or may not become clearer. The Woodrow Wilson School’s “up to the minute” talks — “A Republican Reflects: Ana Navarro, CNN Political Commentator and Republican Strategist” on November 30 and “Supremely Partisan: How Raw Politics Tips the Scales in the United States Supreme Court” on December 6 — will continue to provide expert analysis. —Donald Gilpin

The Designs Behind “Nothing But Rings”

Rings are conversation pieces. Some tell the story of a wedding engagement or a family heirloom, while others tell of a person’s passions, heritage, or sense of style. The pieces in the “Nothing But Rings” exhibit at the Diana Vincent Jewelr y Galler y in Lambertville tell a story of design excellence. The exhibition showcases rings created by visionary jewelry designers from Canada to California. New-York based jewelry designers and married couple, Manya Tesller and Rou men Vragov of Manya and Roumen Jewelry are among the 15 artists displaying their work. Their “Courting Wren” ring

will be included in the exhibit. “The wren, which I car ved out of wax, was cast in 18k yellow gold and hand-engraved,” explains Manya. “The cherry blossoms are hand-carved out of pink opals, and I carved the branch out of wax and cast it in sterling silver. The ring slides onto one finger, but balances atop the entire length of the wearer’s hand, so that the wearer hopefully feels like the wren has alighted in her hand. The inspiration

behind the design comes from the romance of the male wren singing to his female love at spring-time, represented by the cherry blossoms (inspired by my two years living and working in Japan).” The entire collection of rings on display will be available for purchase at the Diana Vincent Contemporar y Fine Jewelr y Gallery located at 12 North Union Street in Lambertville, New Jersey until December 9. ———

“A

rt demands of us that we do not stand still.” So commented Ludwig van Beethoven on his own late string quartets. No one can argue that the world is far from standing still, and the cycle of Beethoven string quartets presented this year by the Takács String Quartet at Princeton University may represent more than just music. Beethoven composed his repertory of 16 string quartets during some of the most tumultuous decades in world history, and the Takács performance of all the composer’s quartets over six concerts both shows promise for consistency in high-quality music and demonstrates the evolution of the string quartet as a musical form. Princeton University Concerts is presenting these six performances in Richardson Auditorium, with ancillary discussions, classes, open rehearsals, and reading sessions to give audiences a complete performance and educational experience. The first concert, performed last Tuesday night in Richardson Auditorium (a second was presented on Thursday night) was a mini-history of Beethoven’s quartets in itself, drawing from the composer’s early, middle and late periods. The Takács cycle is also varying the seating arrangements in Richardson to offer audiences different perspectives on the music and performers. Last Tuesday night’s concert included seating only downstairs in the hall and onstage, placing musicians and audience members on the same level. For concert performance, Beethoven’s string quartets can be combined in a myriad of ways. The Takács Quartet chose to open their six-concert series with representative works from throughout the composer’s life. Beethoven’s Opus 18, a set of six string quartets, was steeped in the influence of Mozart and Haydn, following all the traditional rules for chamber music of the time. With cellist András Fejér seated between the two violins and viola to anchor the sound of the String Quartet in G Major, the second quartet of Opus 18, the Takács succeeded in making audience members feel as though they were in an early 19th-century private salon. Mr. Fejér supported the ensemble sound with delicate cello playing while violinists Edward Dusinberre and Károly Schranz, and violist Geraldine Walther played with detached bowings and tapered phrases throughout. First violinist Mr. Dusinberre led the songlike second movement, with Mr. Fejér and Ms. Walther adding wellmatched rich lines on their respective instruments. With melodic fragments chas-

ing one another among the players, the Takács Quartet showed exact timing while always being light on the strings. Beethoven’s “Middle Period” stretched classical forms and showed slight hints of the harmonic and compositional shifts paving the way to the Romantic period and sealing Beethoven’s reputation as a musical revolutionary. String Quartet in F minor, Op. 95, subtitled by the composer “Serioso,” showcased the second violin and viola in the first movement, and Mr. Schranz and Ms. Walther brought out elegant lines shaded with occasional chromaticism. The players of the Takács Quartet easily switched from lyrical to more rhythmic passages, and launched the fourth movement “Allegretto agitato” effectively. Audience members could easily hear melodic snippets which later came to life in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9. he Takács Quartet closed this opening concert of the cycle with a substantial work from the last few years of Beethoven’s life. String Quartet in Bb Major, Op. 130, dating from 1825, expanded the string quartet form by adding movements and departing from the traditional format. As an opening dark unison line unfolded in the first movement, it was clear that this piece was much more substantial than the previous two heard in this performance, with frequent shifts among tempi. Throughout the quartet’s six movements, the Takács Quartet retained delicacy, creating dynamic swells together and uniformly building intensity. The fourth movement in particular was a graceful, court dance, while the two violins brought out well the long melodic lines of the fifth movement “Cavatina.” The Takács Quartet succeeded in showing that Opus 130 was an innovative string quartet, but one which did not bend the ear too much — those quartets were yet to come from Beethoven and will be heard from the Takács Quartet later in the cycle. For this performance, Takács excluded the original “Finale” for this string quartet — the complex double fugue which became Opus 133 was replaced by Beethoven with a more traditional final movement, but the Takács Quartet will perform Opus 130 again on the final concert, with the Grosse Fuge ending so audiences will be able to hear Opus 130 as Beethoven originally intended. Bring an open mind and open ears to this concert — 19th-century critics condemned the Grosse Fuge, but 20th-century audiences consider it one of the composer’s greatest achievements. —Nancy Plum

The next performance in the Complete Beethoven String Quartet Cycle will be Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 8 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium. The program will include two quartets from Opus 18 and String Quartet in A minor, Op. 132.

community deserve to be treated with empathy and respect. We come together on this issue not as Democrats or Republicans, but as concerned members of our community.” Also in line with other affirmations of solidarity, a November 21 letter to students, faculty, and staff from five administrators responds to concerns over immigrants’ rights with empathy for the protestors and their actions. The letter, signed by vice president for campus life W. Rochelle Calhoun, college dean Jill Dolan, graduate school dean Sanjeev Kulkarni, faculty dean Deborah Prentice, and human resources vice president Lianne Sullivan-Crowley, states, “We fully empathize with … concerns … about potential changes in national policies or practices related to immigration and the status of undocumented people.” It continues, “The safety, security, and success of our students are among our highest priorities. The University will do everything possible to protect students’ legal rights and to ensure their ability to flourish at Princeton.” Protestors’ specific demands that the University become a “sanctuary campus,” with the University Chapel a sanctuary church, were not addressed in faculty or administration statements. Last Thursday’s demonstration led by the Princeton DREAM Team, a student-run and community based immigrant rights advocacy group, in collaboration with other student groups on campuses across the country, began at Nassau Hall, as a crowd of more than 350, chanting and carrying signs, marched past the Art Museum, through Frist Campus Center, and back to the steps of the University Chapel. Their petition, signed by more than 1200 in the first 24 hours of its circulation online, reminds the University of its motto in the face of threatened deportations of millions of undocumented immigrants. “Princeton University prides itself for being ‘in the nation’s service and in the service of all humanity,’” the petition reads. “In light of the United States’ recent presidential election, it is more pressing than ever for the University to uphold this motto, especially for those whose freedoms, happiness, and lives are being threatened by the president-elect and his plans for the future. We cannot be bystanders in the face of discrimination and hate when we pride ourselves as being ‘in the nation’s service and in the service of all humanity.’ We call for action.” In addition to demands for sanctuary status for the campus and the chapel, the petition calls for the University to ”stop misclassifying undocumented students as international students; remove/waive the international tax for documented students; hire someone to serve undocumented students; start a Dean’s fund that does not require loans to cover the costs for undocumented students to apply for DACA/DAPA; and expedite particular changes to the admissions office website in consideration for undocumented applicants. —Donald Gilpin

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Redmayne Is a Wizard With a Menagerie of Fantastic Mythical Creatures

human beings), that is dedicated to the extermination of wizards and witches. Unfortunately, Newt whips out his wand in order to recapture the naughty niffler in the presence of Jacob Kowalski (Dan Fogler), an affable Everyman who is applying for a loan to open his own bakery. Unfortunately, since Jacob has just observed the use of magic, wizardry protocol requires that the Everyman’s memory must be wiped clean on the spot. However, Jacob manages to flee before being “obliviated,” and he inadvertently takes Newt’s bag of creatures with him. As luck would have it, Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston) — a comely witch who is a member of the Magical Congress of the United States of America — comes to Newt’s rescue. Thus unfolds Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a visually captivating adaptation of the J.K. Rowling bestseller of the same name. Even though the book was alluded to in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, you don’t need to be familiar with the Harry Potter books or films in order to appreciate this delightful fantasy, that apparently w ill have five episodes. Oscar-winner Edd ie Re d may ne (The Theory of Everything) delivers a fresh and endearing vulnerability as the picture’s bashful protagonist. And he is ably assisted by a stellar supporting cast composed of A-list actors and an array of endearing computergenerated creatures. E xcellent (HHHH) . Rated PG-13 for fantasy action and vio lence.

e are introduced to Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) as he disembarks from a steamship from England that has just arrived in the New York harbor in 1926. The young wizard has to resort to some sleight-of-hand illusions in order to slip through customs, because his suitcase is filled to bursting with a unique type of contraband. It turns out that Newt is hiding a menagerie of mythical creatures with unusual names like obscurials, bowtruckles, and dougals. Thanks to the unreliable latch on his tattered leather satchel, it doesn’t take long for a mischievous niffler to escape. The odd-looking creature soon manages to break into a nearby bank vault where it proceeds to indulge its insatiable appetite for gold by stuffing coins into its pouch. Newt, however, must get the money back to the vault before its disappearance arouses the suspicions of Mary Lou Barebone (Samantha Morton). She’s the leader of the New Salem Philanthropic Society, a group of no-majs, (aka muggles — meaning ordinary

Obie Award-winning playwright, MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow, and Princeton alumnus Branden Jacobs-Jenkins has been commissioned by the Lewis Center for the Arts at Princeton University to write and develop a new adaptation of Euripides’ The Bakkhai. The commission is being supported through the Roger S. Berlind ’52 Playwrightin-Residence Fund. The new play will premiere at the opening of the new Lewis Center for the Arts complex in October 2017. Jacobs-Jenkins’ plays include Neighbors; Appropriate, which received an OBIE Award for Best New American Play in 2014 and was an Outer Critics Circle nominee; An Octoroon, also recognized with an OBIE Award for Best New American Play in 2014; War; and Gloria, a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize. His plays have been performed at such venues as Lincoln Center Theatre/ LCT3, Soho Rep, the New York Public Theatre, Yale Repertory Theatre, Actors Theater of Louisville, Center Theatre Group, Victory Gardens Theatre, Woolly Mammoth Theater, The Matrix Theater, CompanyOne, Theater Bielefeld in Germany and the HighTide Festival in the U.K. His honors include a 2016 MacArthur Fellowship, the Paula Vogel Award, a Fulbright Arts Grant, a Helen Merrill Award, the Dorothy Strelsin playwriting fellowship, the Steinberg Playwrights Award, the inaugural Tennessee Williams Award, the 2016 PEN/Laura Pels Award, the Windham-Campbell Literature Prize, and most recently a MacDowell Colony Fellowship. He is a graduate of Princeton, Class of 2006, where he concentrated in anthropology and

Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (PG-13 for violence, bloody images, profanity, and mature themes). Tom Cruise reprises the title role in this sequel that finds the soldier of fortune on the run while trying to clear his name of murder. With Cobie Smulders, Robert Knepper, Danika Yarosh, and Aldis Hodge.

Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center, comments, “We are thoroughly delighted to welcome back our former student and colleague, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins. He did brilliant work in our classrooms and on our stages and, a decade later, he is now officially recognized as the genius we always knew him to be. His often hilariously satirical investigations into how race and class play out in America today have made his work ‘must-sees’ for people who care deeply about a theater where ideas and entertainment dance together. So it’s only appropriate that Branden will be adapting one of the classics of ancient Greek drama, Euripides’ The Bakkhai, for this commission. The Greeks knew how to make ideas dance!” The premiere production will be directed by fellow Princeton alumna Lileana Blain-Cruz, also Princeton Class of 2006. Blain-Cruz directed the premiere of Jacobs-Jenkins’ War at both the Yale Repertory Theater and Lincoln Center. The Princeton premiere will be part of a weekendlong celebration next fall marking the opening of a new multi-building arts complex that will house the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Programs in Dance, Music Theater and Theater, the Princeton Atelier, and expanded rehearsal space for Princeton’s Department of Music and Program in Musical Performance. In addition to studios and classrooms, the new venue will include a block box theater, a dance performance theater, music rehearsal spaces and recording studios, an art gallery, and a forum — a gathering space that connects the three buildings.

playwrights whose work has had significant impact on the field. The program was established in 2014 through the support of Roger S. Berlind, Princeton Class of 1952, best known as the Tony Award-winning producer of over 100 New York shows, including The Book of Mormon, Amadeus, Annie, City of Angels, Hamlet (with Ralph Fiennes), Sophisticated Ladies, and A View from the Bridge. The inaugural Berlind Playwright-in-Residence was Christopher Durang, who co-taught a course on his own work in fall 2015 with Cadden, a member of the Program in Theater faculty. As part of his appointment, Durang is currently developing a new play in collaboration with McCarter Theatre, where he premiered Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike, which went on to win the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play.

Rolling to 38-21 Victory Over Nemesis Dartmouth, Princeton Football Earns Share of Ivy Championship

ver since Bob Surace took the helm of the Princeton University football team in 2010, Dartmouth has been a thorn in the side for the Tigers. The Big Green won the first six meetings between the rivals in Surace’s tenure, making it the only Ivy League team Princeton hadn’t beaten in that time. With Princeton hosting Dartmouth last Saturday in the season finale needing a win to ensure at least a tie for the Ivy title, Surace justifiably saw the Big Green as a threat. “I felt they were a terrific team, they have had a lot of bad breaks,” said Surace of the Big Green, who brought a 4-5 record into the contest with just one Ivy League win after sharing the 2015 league crown with Penn and Harvard. “They worried me more than any team we had played since Harvard in terms of that because they threaten us in areas where we have struggles.” Princeton struggled against Dartmouth in the first half, finding itself down 14-10 at halftime. “I don’t feel like we trusted, we were in this emotional state,” said Surace, recalling his halftime message. “We were kind of fighting each other a little bit and I said if we trust and focus on the now we are going to be fine.”

By the end of the afternoon, Princeton was basking in an emotional high as it pulled away to a 38-21 win over Dartmouth before a cheering crowd of 8,320, earning a tie for the Ivy crown with Penn. In winning its 11th Ivy title and second in four seasons, Princeton finished at 8-2 overall and 6-1 Ivy with Penn at 7-3 overall, 6-1 Ivy. Afterward, the players mobbed each other and celebrated by belting out a spirited rendition of the Princeton alma mater in front of the student section. As the music was playing, Surace’s thoughts turned to the character displayed by his team in the wake of a disappointing 23-20 overtime loss to Harvard on October 22. “That was hard, I was thinking about that as we were celebrating with the band,” said Surace. “The thing I said then hasn’t changed; this is a team that everybody can be proud of, how we play, and how we do things as a group. They are not perfect. I am not perfect, they know that. It is a group of guys that just works their tails off and they are completely into it.” Senior star defensive back and tri-captain Dorian Williams was proud of how the Tigers overcame their shaky start against Dartmouth.

“We had little internal battles with our units, you hear coaches on the offensive side saying the same thing as our defensive coaches were saying,” recalled Williams. “It is guys, you know what we are doing — self-inflicted wounds — the conflict inside is just tearing us apart. That is something we got rid of in the second half, I think you guys could see how we played as a team in the second half.” Princeton forged ahead 17-14 with 4:58 left in the third quarter when junior star John Lovett scored on a one-yard touchdown run, giving him a program-record 20 rushing TDs for the season, breaking the mark set by legendary running back Keith Elias in 1993. Senior quarterback Chad Kanoff, who ended the game by completing 14-of24 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown, liked the way the Tigers executed in the second half as they pulled away from the Big Green. “We just kept playing our game and we played better,” said Kanoff. “They were playing well at the beginning of the game, they had a lot of energy. People get tired and the rush gets a little less at the end of the game but we just kept playing our game.” Lovett’s production in the red zone has been a key part of Princeton’s game this year.

“I think it is a product of how hard we work as a team all year, our offensive line has done a phenomenal job,” said Lovett, reflecting on his touchdown record. “I know that was a spot on our team where the media was saying was a weakness. Those guys really bonded together, ‘five strong’ is their motto, whenever one guy goes down, the next guy shows up.” In the view of Williams, Princeton’s strong 4-0 finish, which included a 28-0 win over Penn on November 5, made this title sweeter than the one he experienced in 2013 as a freshman when the Tigers fell to Dartmouth in the finale, losing a shot at an outright crown. “When we were freshmen, we lost our last game; it was bittersweet, it was like we had the title outright and we didn’t take full advantage of it,” said Williams. “You are able to end the season knowing that you did everything that you could have done. We lost that one to Harvard, that was tough. Coach came in there and says it is football, it is a long season, and anything can happen. You guys need to keep doing what you are doing and we will see what happens at the end of the season. Control what you can control and that is what we did. This is definitely a different feeling because we won it at home and we won the last game.” By the end of the season, Williams and his teammates felt that they were in control of the league, notwithstanding sharing the title. “I do feel like we are the best in the league,” maintained Williams. “I think the

HAPPY ENDING: Princeton University tight end Scott Carpenter heads upfield in a game this season. Last Saturday against visiting Dartmouth, senior star Carpenter made a key fourth quarter touchdown reception as Princeton rolled to a 38-21 win over the Big Green, clinching a share of the Ivy League title. Princeton finished at 8-2 overall and 6-1 Ivy, tying Penn (7-3 overall, 6-1 Ivy) for the crown, the 11th in program history. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) way that we performed on both sides of the ball and on special teams proves we are the best team in the league.” Surace, for his part, is going to miss working with this team. “The sad part is that we can’t practice next week, I am serious, it is such a tight group of guys,” said Surace. “I know the 6 a.m. meetings stink but it is a bonding. You just feel it every day at practice when the music

turns on and these guys are so in tune with things. We have been so distraction free; we talk about eliminating all of the things that can distract you and erasing them and focusing on targets. I have never been around a team that has done it as well as this group, including the NFL in some of those years. They just do it.” A focus that resulted in an Ivy crown. —Bill Alden

PU Field Hockey Falls In NCAA Semis, Showing Resilience to the Final Whistle

For the Princeton University field hockey team, its run to the NCAA Final 4 amounted to something of a revenge tour. After losing to Penn State and Virginia in regular season play, Princeton posted a 2-1 win over the former in the first round of the NCAA tourney and then edged the latter 3-2 in the quarterfinals. Last Friday in the NCAA semis in Norfolk, Va., the Tigers faced a Delaware team it had defeated 4-2 on September 11. This time the Blue Hens turned the tables on the Tigers, pulling out a 3-2 nailbiter, scoring the winning goal with 1:30 left in regulation. C om i ng i nto t he h igh stakes rematch, Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente knew that Delaware posed challenges at both ends of the field. “On defense, they don’t really come out at us, they kind of fall away and lull you in and trap you in different parts of the field,” said Tagliente. “The flip side of that, the other thing that posed issues for us on the other side, was their attack and their outletting scheme. They have a

couple of players who are very powerful; they play a system where they try to outlet through the sides but they have two center midfielders that are also very good. You take away the options to go outside and they are going to hurt you in the middle.” Princeton fell behind 1-0 midway through the first half but answered back with a goal by Ryan McCarthy and the game was knotted at 1-1 at halftime. “They were slamming the ball at us consistently, right down the spine of the field,” said Tagliente. “As halftime rolled around, we had to change a few things around. We had to be a little more passive on our press and let them come at us, instead of forcing them to hit at us.” In the second half, the Blue Hens went ahead 2-1 at the 55:47 mark but Cat Caro came through with a tally for the Tigers 11 minutes later to knot the contest at 2-2. The Blue Hens scored the game winner on a quick counter with 1:30 remaining in regulation. “I thought we did some really nice things, we got ourselves in position to be

a player with three minutes to go,” said Tagliente reflecting on the loss to Delaware, which went on to beat North Carolina 3-2 on Sunday to win the national title. “It is a game we could have won 4-2 like last time or also a game that was much like this one, neck and neck the whole time. We put ourselves in the position we needed to win, we just didn’t do enough. That is sports.” Over the course of the fall, Princeton did a lot of good things as it went 12-8. “When you look at the number of personnel changes and how the players individually developed over the year, it has been quite remarkable,” said Tagliente. “There have been a lot of really great stories individually and it culminated in a great collective story for the group.” Junior standout Lexi Quirk and freshman goalie Grace Baylis were two players in particular who made great progress as the season went on. “If you look at Lexi Quirk, at the beginning of the year, I didn’t even know if that kid would play,” said Tagliente. “She is scoring goals; she is a strong defensive infielder for us. She was the first person off the bench all season. You go to Grace Baylis, who didn’t even finish the semester last year because of that concussion. She comes back not even having put on the pads in 10 months. She is our only goalkeeper and you see her grow through the season. Down the stretch she was one of the best goalies in the country; you watch that transformation happen and it is incredible.” The Tigers got incredible work up front from junior McCarthy and senior Caro with the former scoring 14 goals and the latter chipping in a team-high 18 tallies on the way to being named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year. “Ryan McCarthy doubled her goal production from last year and she was scoring some absolute highlight reel goals,” said Tagliente. “To just watch her grow as a player was great. When you look at her in comparison to other forwards across the country, she is one of the most dynamic. I have high hopes for her next year to carry forward and do even more. Cat Caro tripled her goals from last year. Some of the things that these guys did is just unheard of.” Tagl iente w as t h r i l le d with how her players never stopped wanting to do more as they battled through an up-and-down season which saw Princeton come up short in its bid for a 12th straight Ivy crown but rebounding to make the Final 4.

STICKING WITH IT: Princeton University field hockey player Cat Caro, right, battles for the ball in a game this fall. Last Friday, senior star Caro scored a goal in a losing cause as Princeton fell 3-2 to Delaware in the NCAA semifinals in Norfolk, Va. The defeat left the Tigers with a final record of 12-8. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “T hese g uys just kept wanting to get better; that was the coolest par t of this whole thing,” said Tagliente. “They kept pushing to get better and better and we knew if we could get to postseason we could do some great things. We would not have been able to do great things if these guys hadn’t been continuing to improve in different areas. It is a credit to these guys.” In Tagliente’s view, the team’s three seniors, Hailey Reeves, Ellen Dobrijevic, and Caro, deserve a lot of credit for keeping the team on the same page. “We are graduating three great kids; I am in a little bit of mourning about that,“ said Tagliente. “Outside of what they have done on the field, they are a large part of why the culture was so positive and so good this year. Not that we can’t continue that, and not that new people won’t step up, but when you have three players as special as Cat, Hailey, and Ellen I think you just step back and get a little emotional about it because of what they have done. I am very happy for

them that they had the senior season that they have had.” With 18 players returning, including four All-Ivy performers (freshman Maddie Bacskai, sophomore Sophia Tornetta, sophomore Elise Wong, and McCarthy), Princeton appears poised for some good seasons ahead. “You look at what we have coming back and the progress we have made with some of these guys, I feel good about the current team at the moment as well,” said Tagliente, noting that the program has a stellar freshman class coming in next fall. “I am excited that we have the whole spring, it is going to be great. I am excited about what we can do with the talent that we have.”

Taking the helm of the Tigers this summer when longtime head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn left for a job in Boston, Tagliente developed a deep connection with her players in her debut campaign. “I think on both sides, it has been a good pairing, you never know how those things are going to go,” said Tagliente. “We just focused on them individually and collectively, building relationships with them. I think it paid off massively down the stretch. It is an immensely close team among the players and also between the players and the staff as well. I think there are strong bonds and a lot of trust.” —Bill Alden

Carly Bullock established herself as a prolific scorer in the highly competitive world of Minnesota high school girls’ hockey, tallying 278 points on 186 goals and 92 assists in her career for the Blake School in Minneapolis. Bringing her skills to the Princeton University women’s hockey team this year, Bullock drew on that back-

ground last Friday, scoring a goal five minutes into a clash with 5th-ranked and undefeated Colgate. “I have always been told to pressure the defense hard and when they coughed it up, I just took off fast,” said Bullock. “I knew I had pressure behind so I just tried to cut back and put it over the pad and below the blocker.”

Bullock’s goal set the tone in the contest as Princeton exploded for a 7-2 win over the previously undefeated Raiders. “I think getting the first goal is a big thing in any game,” said Bullock, who ended up w ith one goal and two assists in the victory. “Then to keep going and not let them come back definitely helped.”

Forming a line with sen ior M ol ly C ont i n i a n d sophomore Karlie Lund, a former Blake School teammate, helped Bullock thrive against Colgate. “We had made changes after last weekend and this was our first game together,” said Bullock, reflecting on her performance that saw Lund score three goals and Contini chip in one goal and two assists. “I would say right away we clicked, we had been working well in practice. That was a huge part of how well we were working together.” Bullock has a deep connection with Lund on the ice. “I played with Karlie in high school, it is amazing to play with her here,” said Bullock,” noting that a third Blake alumna, freshman defenseman Sylvie Wallin, also plays for the Tigers. “We already know where each other are; we can figure out what we are doing. It is definitely helpful to have someone familiar out here. Molly is a great player; it is nice to have senior leadership on that line.” Bullock is hoping that the win over Colgate will help get the Tigers rolling. “It was great to beat this team with this good of a score, that is a big confidence win for us,” said Bullock, who scored another goal a day later in a 2-1 loss to Cornell as the Tigers moved to 5-4-1 overall and 3-4-1 ECAC Hockey. Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal liked the way his players got off to a good start against Colgate. “ We had a n awe s om e

win at Harvard last week and then had a big letdown against Dartmouth,” said Kampersal, whose team beat the Crimson 2-1 in overtime on November 11 before falling 3-2 to the Big Green in over time a day later. “Our kids were ready to play. Last weekend we must have had 90 shots on goal so we were all over it but we weren’t executing. We focused on that a lot this week with a lot of skill work and finishing around the net.” Af ter jumping off to a 2-0 lead in the first period, Pr inceton outscored t he Raiders 3-1 in the second and 2-1 in the third to finish them off. “Colgate hadn’t lost yet, they were one of only two undefeated teams … and they were first in our league and ranked fifth overall,” said Kampersal “We wanted to come out strong from last week. We don’t think of 3 of 4, we think of the last one. We are trying to play really good hockey.” Kampersal credited sophomore star Lund with play ing some ver y good hockey. “Lund is just an absolute pro; when you look at her, she looks like a pro hockey player,” asserted Kampersal. “When Jeff Halpern (longtime NHL player) was here, he had the same sort of cadence in the way that he held himself. Lund is the same way. She is good in the face-off circle, she is better defensively than most people think. She hit two posts in addition to three

goals tonight. She has an idea of what she is doing all of the time. She makes the players she is playing with better.” As the season goes on, Kampersal expects Bullock to get better and better. “Carly works hard, she is a really good kid, she is coachable,” said Kampersal, whose team plays a t wo - game set at Boston University on November 25 and 26. “She has had a lot of tough luck; she has a lot of shots and her shooting percentage hasn’t been great, considering that she is a Minnesota high school sniper. She is figuring out that she has less time to operate. She works her butt off, goals will come for her because she is a goal scorer.” Bullock, for her part, is quickly developing a comfort level with the Tigers. “It is just finding my role on the team and getting in the swing of things a lot faster,” said Bullock, who now has three goals and three assists in 10 games this season. “Everyone is so much better and bigger. It has definitely been a change but everyone is really supportive and we have great leadership and a lot of seniors.” —Bill Alden

Coming into the NJSIAA Meet of Champions (MOC) last Saturday at Holmdel Park, the Princeton High boys’ cross country team appeared to be a dark horse for the title. With most of the attention being focused on five-time champion Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) and top contender Colts Neck, PHS was flying a bit under the radar even though it was the Group 4 champion. But the Little Tigers were ready to spring a surprise on the high-powered field. “We have prepared for this and we were hoping to sneak away with the title,” said PHS senior star Alex Roth. “We were definitely hoping that maybe we can catch CBA and Colts Neck by surprise. We definitely felt that we were capable of doing it, it just takes everything going right.” Having made the MOC last year gave PHS a better idea of what it takes to be at the front of the pack in the prestigious competition. “It was definitely good experience running in MOC last year, knowing that you are competing with a lot of very fast guys,” said Roth. “You have to make sure that you don’t get too distracted by what other teams or other individuals are doing so you have to have that right and have the mindset going in that you are just going to take care of what you need to take care of.” PHS ende d up t a k i ng care of business last Saturday, taking first with 104 points, edging Colts Neck (106 points) and CBA (109 points). Roth led the way for PHS, taking third individually with a time of 15:54 over the 5,000 -meter course. Junior Will Hare took 10th with sophomore Acasio Pinhiero coming in 24th, junior Alex Ackerman finishing 24th, and senior Cy Watsky placing 86th. It was the first-ever MOC team title for the Little Ti-

gers and just the second ever for a Mercer County school (WW/P-N boys in 2008). In Roth’s view, the deep bond among the PHS runners paved the way for the championship. “I think just the fact that we have been going through all of this, all of the training, all of the races, all of these moments, all year for so many years now that we have grown so close together,” said Roth. “We have that tight bond and a huge part of the team’s success is that we are doing it together and that we are out there for each other. We work for each other.” PHS head coach Jim Smirk sensed his runners were primed for a run at the MOC crown. “Certainly training wise and how the whole season shaped up, their patience and consistency in training and their focus their entire season, I did think we had the ability to have a good strong race,” said Smirk. It took a total team effort for the Little Tigers to earn the victory. “It was really a resilient performance,” said Smirk. “Will Hare, Acasio Pinheiro, and Alex Ackerman found a guy on a team that we needed to be competitive with and ended up on the right side of that. We knew who we were racing against, we knew that it was going to take more than just finding that one guy. Everybody had to contribute.” Knowing that it came into the race as an underdog fueled the Little Tigers. “It is a testament to the strength of this team, a lot of people were — it is Princeton, they have kind of been around but …,” said Smirk. “I think more than anything we showed everybody that if you sleep on us, we will get you and that is OK.

That is part of what we pride ourselves on. We are going to give a constantly strong performance every time we go out. We know we can’t control the race so we control the things that we can, which is our performance, and challenge teams to respond and that strateg y seems to work.” The PHS squad also prides itself on working together as one. “It is real easy in high school to be a little bit afraid of making strong bonds; people kind of step away from that a little bit but these guys have really turned that on its head and said this is important to us,” said Smirk, whose team will be competing in another important race as it takes part in the Nike Cross Nationals Northeast Regional at Wappingers’ Falls, N.Y. this Saturday with the top two teams automatically qualifying for the nationals and the other spots to be filled by wild card selections. “If it is important to us, we need to be honest with each other and care about each other and trust in each other. We have certainly raced that way. I think you saw that at groups and sectionals where Alex set out a pace that really changed how the field could handle things and our guys never flinched. They knew exactly what he was capable of doing and they trusted him and he, in turn, trusted them.” Roth, for his part, is enjoying the strong finish to his high school career. “It is kind of cool to have this success both on an individual level and on a team level because it is the best it has really been in a while,” said Roth, who has committed to attend the University of Pennsylvania and will be running there. “It is really, really cool to be able to say that this is my senior year.” —Bill Alden

PHS Girls’ Volleyball Made Huge Strides As Focus on Competitive Fire Paid Dividends

WA LT E R E . E D G E L E C T U R E

Jamelle Bouie Slate Magazine Chief Political Correspondent

December 1, 2016 6 p.m., McCosh 50 http://lectures.princeton.edu

Patty Manhart was satisfied to see her Princeton High girls’ volleyball team make incremental progress in its first two seasons as a varsity program. “My message during our years of development is that we take our small victories, what did you individually do better today that you didn’t do well the last game,” said PHS head coach Manhart, a former women’s volleyball player at FDU who has been guiding the PHS program since it started as a club team in the fall of 2013. “How we grew as a team did not translate into wins. We had to have the mentality of are you having a good time. That was a victory.” This fall, that progress translated into wins as PHS posted a record of 17-5, winning the Spiketoberfest WJIVL (West Jersey Interscholastic Volleyball League) tourney and making its first ever experience in the public state tournament. “Just the girls being able to switch into the competitive mode and fully embrace the added pressure of being a winning program was a big positive,” said Manhart, noting that the Little Tigers went 4-12 in 2015. “The girls were able to push into — we need to hone our skills. We needed to make sure that we are a l w ay s pr ac t i c i n g c om petitively and pushing one another. We needed to be able to play in high pressure situations because the games that we won against tough teams were all close matches. We didn’t have the luxury of blowing out those other competitors.” In Manhar t’s view, the team’s success even took

the players by surprise. “I do think that we didn’t see what was coming, we built our confidence over time,” said Manhart. “It took t he f irs t w in a g a i n s t W W/ P- S ab o u t midway through the season, that was the turning point. It took some time to develop some confidence. I don’t think we predicted the outcome at the beginning of the season.” Winning the Spiketoberfest in late October was another key step forward for the program. “It is the league tournament, that is our MCT; we don’t have a Mercer County tournament,” said Manhart. “We combine with Mercer County and Burlington schools in this 14-team division for these playoffs that are all on a single day. It is a double elimination bracket so they have two brackets going. We had to win as a 4-5 seed, which was frustrating to me, but we were able to play through it. We stayed undefeated for the day, we beat WW/P-S in the finals so it worked to our advantage at the end of the day. It was good for our girls.” The play of junior Anna Cao gave PHS a lot of good work this fall, leading the team with 136 kills. “Anna is outstanding,” said Manhart. “Last year because of her height, she played middle and this year we moved her to the outside. She gets a lot more sets in that position; she also plays really great defense. A lot of the girls might play only back row or only front row. Anna stays in for the whole rotation.” Another junior, Rachel Cheng, helped trigger things for the Little Tigers, piling up 277 assists. “Rachel is our setter, that is like the quarterback of our team,” said Manhart. “She is a solid individual,

she is reliable. She is a leader and that really helps us mesh and jell.” Senior Noa Levy emerged as a solid performer this fall, with 40 kills and 11 aces. “Noa Levy has been on the team since freshman year and this sport was brand new to her,” said Manhart. “She is 6’1 and is going to Lehigh to do track for the heptathlon. Because of her height, growing up people asked her if she played volleyball. She never really had the opportunity so she came in as a freshman with the height but no playing experience. She is someone who has developed this year as a blocker. She is so much stronger and as a hitter, the power behind her swing really clicked this year.” A lthough things didn’t click in the state tourney as 20th seeded PHS fell 2-0 to 13th-seeded Clifton in the opening round of Group 4 competition, Manhart believes the program will benefit from the experience. “That is where the bar is set for next year so OK we made it and next year we expect to go further than playing the one time,” said Manhart. PH S i s e x p e c t i n g big things next season. “It is nice getting a core group of underclassmen returning, they also set a good example for a lot of the new girls who are playing on JV and playing the sport for the first time,” said Manhart. “They put in the work in the offseason. They know what it takes, they have a love of the spor t that spreads to their teammates. A lot of the younger players went out for clubs this year and are going to have the chance to keep working at it. They know where the bar is coming into the season so that is a good mentality to have.” —Bill Alden

NET GAIN: Members of the Princeton High girls’ volleyball team were all smiles as they posed for a team shot earlier this fall. PHS made big strides this season, posting a 17-5 record after going 4-12 in 2015. The Little Tigers won the Spiketoberfest WJIVL (West Jersey Interscholastic Volleyball League) tourney and made its first ever experience in the public state tournament along the way.

Based on the first two weeks of the season, it looked like the Hun School field hockey team was in for a rough fall as it lost its first four games, getting outscored 15-7 in the process. But the Raiders bounced back, posting wins over Stuart, WW/P-N, and WW/P-S to right the ship. “I think the Stuart game and the two West Windsor games were the turnaround for us,” said Hun head coach Kathy Quirk. “A g a i n s t N o r t h , t h e y scored two quick goals and I called a timeout. We turned it around and then we won against South in OT. We just seemed to go up on a hill. We always seem to start out slow, get together and build

together at the end. I am pleased.” Quirk was par ticularly pleased with how her squad ended the season as it won three of its final four games to end the season with a 9-10 record, posting victor ies over Moores tow n Friends, Peddie, and Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) in that stretch. The Raiders ended the season on a high note with a 4-1 win over Mercersburg as seniors Julie Fassl, Kate Davis, and Delia Lawver each tallied goals in the finale. “In our Mercersburg game, we played well,” said Quirk. “It was nice for the seniors to score at the end and go out on top. We were trying to get Fassl goals, she

needed two goals to end her season with 20. She got one but couldn’t get another. She ended up with 57 for her career.” Quirk credited her seniors with setting a positive tone this fall for the Raiders. “They were a really good bunch of kids,” said Quirk, noting that she had 12 seniors on the roster. “Although some of them had limited playing time, they were all very supportive of each other. I think they could all count on each other.” Hun has been able to count on senior star Fassl since day one of her career. “Julie is just a special kid, you don’t see three-sport athletes any more which makes her even more spe-

cial,” said Quirk, noting that Fassl is headed to Virginia Wesleyan where she plans to play field hockey and softball. “Then to say that you are going to college to play two is really unheard of in this day and age. I think she is going to do well, she is such a competitor.” Davis had a special senior campaign, tallying 11 goals and nine assists. “Kate really had a good year,” added Quirk. “She is scrappy, she is quick. She has beaten many a girl down the field, gone inside and either centered it or taken it herself. She finally learned at the end of the season how to draw the goalie out and go around her.” Lawver, for part, controlled the middle of the field for the Raiders. “Delia did a great job as a center mid, she is going to truly be missed next year,” said Quirk. “She is able to move the ball side to side and up and down the field. She was a huge piece of our corners.” Senior Sophia Albanese was a huge piece of the Hun defense. “Sophia is a player of the game, she is the calming force to all of this,” said Quirk.

“Her whole demeanor is about sportsmanship and how we represent the Hun School and how we represent each other; just because we are losing, let’s not go down easily. She is going to be missed, she and Julie have both been fouryear starters.” A fif t h senior, Helena Hemberger, emerged as an unsung hero this fall. “Helena Hemberger had a huge impact, she came back in good shape,” said Quirk. “For three years she had been on varsity and saw very limited time and she wanted a starting position. She earned one and she did a nice job for us.”

In Quirk’s view, the program is in nice shape going forward. “I think we do have a good foundation,” said Quirk. “Kendall Nehlig and Megan Donahue will be back on the defense. Julia Revock has some big shoes to fill on offense and she knows it. I think she is able to handle the challenge. Our goalie, M.C. Shea, had one of her best games against Lawrenceville where she had 20 saves. She finally learned how to to use every part of her body, she has just developed. We have got some good JV players down there who have worked hard.” —Bill Alden

Hun Boys’ Soccer Displayed Flair at Times But Inconsistency Resulted in 5-13 Campaign At times this fall, the Hun School boys’ soccer team displayed flashes of brilliance. “Within the games, there were some moments, 10, 20 sometimes up to 40 minutes where we were playing really good soccer,” said Hun head coach Pat Quirk. Unfortunately, those moments were interspersed with lapses as the team ended with a final record of 5-13. “We had trouble playing complete games,” said Quirk. “We would have a good first half and struggle in the second half or we would struggle in the first half and then come out and have a really great second half. We had trouble putting it all together.” In Quirk’s view, Hun’s 5-2 defeat by Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) in its season finale earlier this month was a microcosm of the fall. “It was kind of the tale of our season a little bit; Logan Leppo was actually hurt,” said Quirk, referring to his senior star goalie. “He had just hur t his shoulder two days before that game and we weren’t sure if he was going to play, he went out there and he could barely lift his arm, it was more of a ceremonial thing for our seniors. I was happy that Pat Nally got a goal and an assist to end his career. He was pushing forward from the center mid

nsboro, NJ 08536 • 609-759-6000 windsorhealthcare.org• FAX 609-759-6006 windsorhealthcare.org

spot.” While the record was disappointing, Hun pushed just about every one of its foes this fall. “Maybe with a little luck and a couple of things going our way, we could have had a couple more wins,” said Quirk. “There were one or two bad losses but everything else was kind of close. We had a good w in against Princeton Day School (2-1 on October 13), we will remember that one.” Quirk will remember the examples set by senior stalwarts Nally and Leppo. “I hope guys are trying to fight to fill their shoes because they are leaders by example, hard workers,” said Quirk. “They just get to work and don’t complain about anything. If we could just have guys whose goal is take over Patrick Nally’s role or Logan Leppo’s role on the team, then you have a pretty good team.” Three of the team’s other seniors, Jake O’Dowd, Connor Hufer, and J.P. Sinuk, stood out with their work ethic. “O’Dowd ended up having a concussion in the Blair game so he couldn’t play the remainder of the season; Hufer got injured at some point too, those guys all contributed to the team,” said Quirk. “J.P. won the Rob Myslik

Award for the team for everything he put into it. He came into the season, knowing that he probably wasn’t going to play. He stepped up and did great. He is into everything that he does; he is a kid that gives you 100 percent no matter what you are doing.” Looking ahead, Quirk is hoping that his returning players will take some lessons from the ups and downs of the 2016 season. “I hope they learn how to bounce back from adversity when things aren’t going your way,” said Quirk. “Hopefully it taught them some tools to turn it and continue to stay positive.” The Raiders have the pieces in place to get things going in a positive direction. “We had a new guy, Dylan Smith, who scored a bunch of goals for us ; Michael Campbell as a junior played well so those two are leading the junior class,” said Quirk. “We found a place for another junior, Jake Keller, at outside back. We have two sophomores, Elijah Smarr a n d Ja m e s M u l d ow n e y, who both battled into starting roles or first guys off the bench this year. I am expecting those guys to be big contributors next season. Gibson Campbell and Owen Schinsky as center backs are going to grow and be tremendous for us.” —Bill Alden
