Princeton University Plans a New Role For Bainbridge House Bainbridge House, the historic building that has served as home to the Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) since 1967, is being turned into an arts-focused information center and gathering space. The circa 1766 house at 158 Nassau Street will also be home to new administrative space for the education staff of the Princeton University Art Museum, the University announced Tuesday. The Historical Society, which has been renting the building from the University for $1 a year for several decades, is relocating to Updike Farmstead on Quaker Road. Currently closed, the HSP will reopen on January 6 at Updike Farm. The organization has been dividing its operations and exhibits between the two locations since purchasing the six-acre farm in 2004. The University is planning a renovation and restoration of Bainbridge House. When completed, it will be used “to inform visitors about arts and humanities offerings, including those at the Princeton University Art Museum, and the Lewis Center for the Arts, and encourage further participation by the wider Princeton community and visitors in the University’s programs,” according to a press release issued by the University. There will be galleries, gathering spaces, a showcase for local artisans, and a ticketing center on the ground floor. The Art Museum education staff will run the public spaces. “The focus of the project will be to provide a location that is both open and welcoming to the community and visitors to the region, and encourage all to discover the rich cultural opportunities available in Princeton,” the release continues. Murphy Bunrham & Buttrick Architects of New York City has been engaged to help come up with a preservation and restoration plan for the building’s historic features while simultaneously updating it and making it more accessible. Construction is expected to begin next year, with the building targeted for occupancy in spring 2017. Built in 1766 by Job Stockton, a prosperous tanner and cousin of Richard Stockton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, Bainbridge House is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Princeton and one of the area’s best preserved examples of mid-Georgian architecture.

Historic Designation Urged for Witherspoon-Jackson

At a lengthy and often emotional meeting of Princeton’s Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) Monday evening, a consultant to the municipality recommended that the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood be designated a local historic district. A standing-room-only crowd including neighborhood residents, architects, and local officials packed the main meeting room at Witherspoon Hall to hear a presentation by Wise Preservation Planning, the Chester Springs, Pa. company hired to survey the area that has been home to the town’s African American community and other ethnic groups for generations. Following an informative presentation by longtime neighborhood resident and historian Shirley Satterfield, the HPC opened the floor to members of the community. Several spoke passionately about how African Americans had landed in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood after being forced out of other parts of town, and urged the HPC to vote in favor of recommending the measure to Princeton Council, which makes the final decision. Some other residents and property owners questioned the study’s conclusions and expressed concerns that creating a historic district would negatively affect the neighborhood. At the start of his talk, Bob Wise said that he had prepared studies for many

potential historic districts, but had never seen such a large turnout for a presentation. The company prepared a 110-page study covering the history and architecture of Witherspoon-Jackson, surveying 395 properties. They classified them into “contributing,” or buildings and sites more than 50 years old that retain their integrity, and “non-contributing,” defined as being up to 45 years old and altered to an extent that they no longer fit in with the neighborhood’s character. About 71 percent are considered contributing, and 19 percent

non-contributing. Four properties are considered key for obtaining the historic designation: the Paul Robeson House, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, Dorothea’s House, and Witherspoon School. The consultants based their conclusions on the municipality’s own criteria as well as guidelines from the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service Department of the Interior.

Heroin Arrests in Princeton Reflect National Epidemic, Ominous Trend Describing last week’s two heroin arrests as only the “tip of the iceberg,” Princeton Police Chief Nick Sutter is certain this problem “is not going away any time soon.” “People are turning to heroin because of the price,” Mr. Sutter said. “There has been a huge spike in the cost of pills, prescription pain killers, and heroin is a cheaper alternative. It has become the second most popular street drug after marijuana.” Princeton Police made two arrests last Tuesday, November 24 at a John Street

residence: Jordan Walden, 22, of Princeton for possession with intent to distribute — also possession of marijuana, cocaine, and prescription legend drugs; and Laura Sliwa, 19, for possession of heroin and drug paraphernalia. The drug distribution charges were within 1000 feet of school property and within 500 feet of a public park and public housing. Both were taken to Mercer County Correctional Center, with $225,000 bail for Mr. Walden, $10,000 bail with a 10 percent posting option for Ms. Sliwa. Continued on Page 4

Heroin Arrests continued from page one

According to Mr. Sutter, five people have been arrested in Princeton this year for possession of heroin, one of them also for distribution, and there have been five cases of heroin overdose reported in Princeton this year, with one of the five resulting in death. Good Samaritan legislation in New Jersey provides criminal immunity for the caller and the people in need, so in the case of users, the person who has overdosed is usually treated by medical authorities rather than police authorities. Every police car carries a Narcan kit to treat overdose victims. There have been two cases this year where victims were aided by the use of the Narcan antidote that counteracts the opiate effects of heroin. Mr. Sutter sees usage in Princeton mostly among people in their 20s, 30s and 40s, though nationwide, he warns, heroin use is rapidly growing among younger users. The PPD is currently working with health professionals at Corner House and the Princeton Alcohol and Drug Alliance to combat the spread of heroin use. Mr. Sutter sees prevention through education as the best way to counter this threat. “Unfortunately though,” he said, “more people have turned to heroin. You cannot arrest your way out of this problem.” “Through continued education and interdiction,” Police Sergeant Steve Riccitello added, “hopefully the numbers will drop.” Mr. Riccitello emphasized that “police rely heavily on information provided by the public, Call us with any information you may have.” —Donald Gilpin

At dusk on Monday, December 7, rain or shine, Princeton streets, driveways and walkways will glow with light from rows of luminaria. These votive candles anchored by sand and encased in brown paper bags have become a tradition that has a message. “They are a symbol of

hope,” said Lauren Nazarian, director of develop ment for Womanspace, the Mercer County organization that helps women and children affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. “We want people to know we are here, that our services are available. And it’s a fundraiser for us as well.”

TOPICS Of the Town Featuring gifts that are distinctly Princeton

www.princetonmagazinestore.com

Womanspace’s 14th annual “Communities of Light Peace B egins at Home” campaig n was of f icially launched last October. Kits that cost $10 and have the organization’s logo are available, while virtual luminaria are also for sale. Raoul and Carlo Momo of the Terra Momo Restaurant Group are the honorary co-chairs of the current campaign. Both are active in the local community. “Frankly, at first we were not quite sure why we were being honored, other than thinking that if you’re in business long enough in a given community, you are bound to be bestowed with an honor or two,” Carlo Momo said at the time. “But it dawned on us that we needed to say something about the topic. After all, women ages 18-34 are at greatest risk of experiencing domestic violence and that demographic makes up half of Terra Momo’s staff. “ M r. M o m o c o nt i n u e d , noting that his mother, for whom the restaurant Teresa’s is named, was a primary inspiration for the restaurant group. “The most important value we learned from her is to respect and honor women,” he said. “As sons, husbands, fathers, brothers, employers, friends, and active members of our community, yes, we needed to speak up.” According to statistics gathered in 2013, acts of domestic violence take place every seven minutes and 20 seconds in New Jersey when viewed as a ratio of their occurrence to a fixed rate of time. Womanspace, which was founded in 1977, offers a list of services including counseling for adults and children, child care, and advocacy for victims of violence who are being processed or treated at police stations and hospitals. Bilingual assistance is available

for those obtaining restraining orders, involved in custody battles, or in need of legal assistance. There are three hotlines that operate 24 hours a day. Womanspace also sends representatives to talk to staff members at schools, churches, businesses, and restaurants to educate them about services that are offered, all free of charge. Womanspace is located on Brunswick Avenue in Lawrenceville. The organization also has a safe house at an undisclosed location. “We have home-schooling options for children while they are at the safe house,” Ms. Nazarian said. “We’re one of the very few shelters in the country to offer Continued on Next Page

It could be financial, educational, building a resume — and all of that at the safe house or i n t r a n s it iona l hou s ing.” T he a n nua l C om m u n i ties of Light campaign is not Womanspace’s biggest fundraiser, but last year’s event raised over $30,000. “We get sponsors, and this year we have about nine retailers who sold the kits, i n c l u d i n g M c C a f f r e y ’s , G r a t i t u d e Yo g a , G r e a t Looks for Less in Mercer Mall, Terhune Orchards, and Weidel Realty on Nassau Street,” Ms. Nazarian said. The tradition began when the organization was looking for a way to spread awareness of programs and ser vices. They settled on a holiday theme, but made sure to make the candlelighting early in December, b e for e c ol l e g e s t u d e nt s depar t for w inter break. The luminaria w ill be lit not only in Princeton, but across Mercer County. “Pe opl e l i g ht t h e m at their businesses and in their homes. They light them at the Lawrenceville School, at P r i nceton Un iversit y, in churches, synagogues, a nd s om e s chools,” Ms. Nazar ian said. “We also h av e v i r t u a l l u m i n a r i e s on social media. You can buy them for $10, like the regular kits. We send you a lit luminary and you put it on Facebook or Twitter. It’s another way to spread the word, and it makes it easier.” A ll procee ds f rom t he sales of luminary kits and donations to Communities of Light benefit Womanspace programs, which last year ser ved more than 11,20 0 adu lt s a nd ch i l dren. The lighting at dusk is designed to raise awareness. And it’s pretty. “If you drive around town and all over the county, it’s just a beaut if u l sight to see,” said Ms. Nazar ian. “Ever yone looks for ward to it.” —Anne Levin

I like to bring some Princeton apparel back for people at home and those stores have everything and really great prices.” Susanna: “My favorite place to shop would have to be Paper Source, with the adorable little gifts; it’s a very unique place to find interesting gifts for the holidays, with great prices.” Alex: “I just like browsing around some of the discount stores and trying to find some good stuff that I can send and bring home. Obviously, budget is an issue in college.” —(from left) Michael Wisner, Franklin, Pa.; Susanna Belt, Myramar, Fla.; Alex Li, Chapel Hill, N.J., all Princeton University, Class of 2019

Amber: ”Well I really like Starbucks, but I also really like the Paper Source. They have more homemade and cuter stuff.” Emily: “My favorite holiday shop is probably Thomas Sweet. Chocolate is just very wintery, to me, and gets me in the holiday mood.” Eva: “I really like the Paper Source, as well. It was great.” Katie: “I like Urban Outfitters. They sell everything there. It’s great for gifts. There’s also a great place to hang out on Hulfish Street called Infini-T. It’s awesome and you can even play games there. It’s really cozy.” —(from left) Amber Leist; Emily Simons, Yardley, Pa; Eva Appelo, Princeton; Katie Simons, Yardley, Pa.

A nne -Mar ie Slaughter, former director of policy planning for the State Department under Hillary Clinton, called for a “new social contract,” to complete “the second half of the women’s movement” in a speech Monday at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School, where she had served as dean from 2002 to 2009. “We’ve made enormous progress, but we still have a long way to go,” she told the crowd of about 200 (female-male ratio about 4:1) mostly Princeton University students and faculty with a small contingent from the larger community. Advocating a focus on care, men, public policy, and collective action, Ms. Slaughter explained how her thinking on the subject of gender equity, work, and family has changed since her 2012 Atlantic Monthly piece “W hy Women Still Can’t Have It All” became one of the most widely read and hotly debated articles in the magazine’s history. “We can’t do this one woman at a time,” she said. “We have to decide that this is something that we as a society care about. We have to decide that we are a society that values care.” Asserting that this is a nonpartisan issue — that Marco Rubio as

well as Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton all have family-leave policy proposals — Slaughter stated, “We have to come together for an entire agenda of how we support care. We have to value traditional women’s work as much as we value traditional men’s work.” Promoting her latest work, Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family, published in September by Random House, Ms. Slaughter, the Bert G. Kerstetter ’66 University Professor Emerita of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton and now president and CEO of New America, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute, explained that her book, unlike her Atlantic Monthly article, focuses as much on men as women. Many of the letters and other responses to her 2012 article that led to a national debate came from men, who were saying, according to Ms. Slaughter, “I am just as much a prisoner of gender roles as women were 30 years ago. I have to be the breadwinner, I don’t have a choice. If I try to take a different role, I’ll be stigmatized. My masculinity will be called into question.” “We are not giving men the same choices we are giving women,” declared

Ms. Slaughter, who has two teen-aged sons. “We must value men for being caring beings as much as competitive beings. I’m asking men to stand for themselves, to stand for that sense of being powerfully needed, powerfully important for their children, for the emotional role that men can play.” In describing her blueprint for change in society Ms. Slaughter criticized the onesidedness of American culture. “We’re work-obsessed. This is a culture that values what you do to earn money above anything else.” The missing piece of the puzzle here, she said, is “care.” “We need to value care for elders and for children. Care

teaches patience, restraint. We are not valuing what we ought to be valuing as a society, as human beings.” Ms. Slaughter’s speech, like her Atlantic article and her new book, combined persuasive scholarly argument with illustrative human stories, mostly personal, recounting her journey from undergraduate days at Princeton through career and family to her present position. She recalled first sitting in the Woodrow Wilson School lecture hall in 1977 as a sophomore in a politics and international relations class. “Being a feminist was part of my identity,” she explained, as she saw her path ahead, following the feminist leaders of the previous decade, going to law school becoming a lawyer, going into the

field of foreign policy. Then she described her return to Princeton in 2002 as newly appointed dean of the Woodrow Wilson School, “thrilled to be a mom” with a three-year-old and a fiveyear-old and convinced that “you can do this. It’s just a question of wanting your career enough and making it work” Then, ten years later, in 2012, after facing the fact that she couldn’t “have it all,” she wrote — in the Atlantic article — and spoke at Princeton about the choices she had to make in leaving her post in the State Department to take care of her family and return to her university professorship. Earlier this week, Ms. Slaughter was in a familiar setting, back again, speaking at the Woodrow Wilson School, with her new book

and a revolutionary plan to create a culture that prioritizes caring for families as much as success in the workplace. Hillar y Clinton, Ms. Slaughter’s former boss at the State Department, in her praise for Unfinished Business, applauds “AnneMarie’s hope and optimism that we can change our points of view and policies so that both men and women can fully participate in their families and use their full talents on the job.” Atul Gawande, best-selling author of Being Mortal, adds in his endorsement that Ms. Slaughter’s message is “Revolutionary … the instruction manual for our next cultural transformation.” —Donald Gilpin

“The sur vey found the neighborhood to be a cohesive and intact expression of Princeton’s largest African American community, whose appearance and setting is a result of social, economic, and educational disparity brought about by discrimination and segregation,” the study reads. “The buildings and streetscape here, opposed to elsewhere in Princeton, tell this story; the district designation should help preserve it. The dense development, vernacular architecture, and associated religious, social, and commercial buildings make evident the incredible history that occurred here.” While the study cites the representation of architectural styles including American Foursquare, Bungalow, and Italianate, the recommendation for designation is more about the history of the neighborhood than it’s streetscape. The Wise company began by studying a mostly rectangular area just north of Nassau Street, bounded roughly by Witherspoon Street, Paul Rob e s on Plac e, B ay a r d Lane, and Birch Avenue.

During the course of the study, the boundaries were adjusted slightly to include both sides of Birch Avenue and Witherspoon Street. A small number of buildings on Witherspoon Street including two properties south of Paul Robeson Place and Witherspoon Lane were included, both on the west side of the street. Jay Craig, an 85 -yearold resident who has lived in the neighborhood all his life, spoke of his painful experiences with discrimination and called Princeton University “one of the most bigoted, segregated universities in the country.” Mr. Craig urged the HPC to vote for recommending the designation. “This is not complicated,” he said. “This is either or. You will either do the best you can, or leave it in the hands of greed merchants or the Gordon Gekkos of the world.” Former Princeton Borough Mayor Jim Floyd, Princeton Nursery School executive director Wendy Cotton, former Borough Mayor Yina Moore, and resident Bernadine Hines were among others who spoke in favor of the recommendation. So did Louise Wilson, a resident of the neighborhood for only

the past five months, and John Heilner, who lives in Princeton’s western section. Responding to those who said the designation might result in a decline in property prices, Mr. Heilner said that studies show otherwise. He urged the commission to recommend establishing the district as soon as possible. “Ever y pas sing mont h there are more teardowns, with construction of much larger houses — houses are lost; housing that’s affordable is lost; in revaluations taxes increase on surrounding properties due to higher ‘land value’ attributed to new large structures next door,” he said. Al Carnevale, a new resident of Birch Avenue in the neighborhood, said he worried creating a historic district could make taxes go up. “What’s the whole package?” he asked. “What is the effect on pricing, taxes, and fixing our homes?” More than one member of the public wanted to know just what the restrictions on improvements and construction would be if the neighborhood became a historic district. Members of the HPC said the rules already in place for Princeton’s existing historic districts would be followed in Witherspoon-Jackson. Mr. Wise recommended that the HSP be flexible about the use of materials such as vinyl and aluminum should the district be designated. He said the town should create visual guidelines for renovation projects and new construction based on the streetscapes and the architecture of each property. The HPC plans to vote on whether to approve, modify, or reject the recommendation at another special meeting on December 7 at 4 p.m. If it is endorsed, the measure then goes to Council which makes the final decision. If the governing body votes to create the district, an ordinance would be introduced early next year. —Anne Levin

Advocating a Substantial Pre-Consumer Reduction of Single-Use Plastic Bags

To the Editor: Princeton has begun to recycle plastic bags and other used plastics — bravo! McCaffrey’s has collected “over 800,000 bags, about 200 pounds, since August 1” (see Nov. 4 Town Topics, pages 7-8). I applaud the coalition of McCaffrey’s with Sustainable Princeton and the Princeton Merchants Association that has made this success possible. But the only fully responsible aim must be a substantial pre-consumer reduction of single-use plastic bags. Postconsumer recycling cannot curb the toxic manufacture of plastics: carbons and methane released into the atmosphere contribute to dangerous climate change. Recycled bags simply become plastic wood, temporarily saved from landfills. Merchants must also strive to reduce pre-consumer use of single-use paper bags (think of deforestation, flooding). The coalition’s voluntary program (“Ask First,” “Bring Your Own Bag”) should immediately promote an agreement among all Princeton merchants to reduce the number of single-use bags (plastic and paper) distributed to customers — i.e., reduce consumption. The coalition should devise a method of measuring the reductions achieved; the method should immediately be publicized; a schedule for making periodic announcements of progress should be announced. I propose that the coalition announce its numbers every six months (at a minimum): April and October 2016. A program without measurements is effectually non-existent; accountability to Princeton is mandatory. Without measurement and accountability, no program can be responsibly evaluated. Obviously, Princetonians need to know the merchants’ baseline for measurements. Many people know that voluntary programs to reduce consumption of single-use bags have failed (increasing bagrecycling is relatively easy). Municipalities, states, countries around the world have passed laws or ordinances to achieve reduction (most recently, Britain [following Ireland and Wales] and, in New Jersey, Longport, the first, but not the last in our state). FYI: it takes twice as long to drive from downtown Princeton to Wegman’s, Whole Foods, or ShopRite than it does to McCaffrey’s. The Longport ordinance (imposing a ten-cent fee per bag on customers who forget to bring their own and thus avoid the fee, which is thus not a tax) is similar to the one drafted by Princeton citizens four years ago — but still not put on the Princeton Council agenda. In February, 2015, Mayor Lempert authorized the expenditure of taxpayer funds for Princeton’s legal counsel to vet the draft ordinance; the resulting memorandum indicates that the ordinance, possibly modified, would be legal in New Jersey; Longport has now set the precedent. I propose that, in fairness, we all assist the coalition’s voluntary program in proving its adequacy for a year from inception. If pre-consumer plastic reduction of at least 50 percent is not achieved by next October, the mayor should put the draft ordinance on the Princeton Council agenda; public input should be solicited, and a working group to achieve a satisfactory draft ordinance should be established. As the November 2016 elections approach, all candidates should make public their views on the ordinance. “No man is an island”: Princeton, like every community, is responsible to the world. DANIEL A.

In Support of Princeton Student Group Advocating Return to True “Academic Freedom, Open Dialogue”

To the Editor: I read with utter disbelief the local media coverage of the radical Black Justice League invasion and occupation of Nassau Hall and the Princeton University President’s Office. I wasn’t surprised by coverage and now our mayor accepting and rationalizing a bend the knee response. There wasn’t editorial comment or even mention of threats and intimidation used to press the League’s Demands. Nonetheless, I respect the news media’s right to report and comment on these events as they see fit. That said, as a longtime letter writer and contributor to the media on issues of the day, I am dumfounded and angered by the lack of coverage of the courageous student group now advocating a return of true academic freedom and open dialogue to the Princeton campus. My concern is heightened by the fact that I doubt many in Princeton have even heard of, let alone read about, their request and cogent justification for a meeting with the president seeking redress. I am a Princeton graduate, alumnus ’66, active for years in education locally, New Jersey-wide and sometimes nationally from pre-K to high school. Also I have held administrative, senior management, and Board positions at community colleges and universities offering varied curricula to equally varied student bodies. I was on the Princeton campus during the Vietnam War and present at SDS uprisings against the war as a Navy officer in uniform. Many fellow career officers were at the Woodrow Wilson School as well. We disliked intensely the protests involv-

Chair of Marquand Park Foundation Finds Level of Environmental Awareness Distressing

To the Editor: I attended the November 23 meeting of the Princeton Council, which among other issues, addressed the recommendations of the Open Space Task Force Committee on how to manage our open spaces and “passive parks,” in contrast to the management of the active sports and other facilities by the Town’s Recreation Department. During the public comments period, there were several people who spoke with passion and knowledge about environmental issues, such as remediation of plastic bags (in our oceans and lands) and the benefits of dealing effectively with our fallen leaves. Our Mayor, Liz Lempert, has inspired me with her commitment to environmental issues, but she appears to be inhibited by other Council members who demonstrated little encouragement or reinforcement to those who have worked for many years on these matters. Regarding the report of the Open Space Task Force Committee, the Town administrator suggested that more time was needed to hire a consultant to study the management of these issues, but this is not necessary, as these issues have been studied for many years. A thorough report was paid for and published in 2008, and the current report of the Open Space Task Force Committee, headed by Wendy Mager, director of the Friends of Princeton Open Space, was thorough and professional. On a personal note, one of the Town staff members questioned me, “Who gave you permission to make Marquand Park an arboretum?” (the deed of gift from the Marquand family in 1953 and a subsequent consultant report designated the park as an arboretum). The Council liaison to the Task Force asked me, “When are the Marquands going to take the logs off my property?” and later declared that “Marquand Park is an eyesore.” Please, in future elections, choose people to run on environmental issues, as well as other important issues facing the town. The current low level of environmental awareness is very distressing. PAM MACHOLD Prospect Avenue, Chair of the Marquand Park and Arboretum Foundation

ing verbal assaults on our officers and enlisted personnel. However, we understood that the protests were directed at our current national leadership and related actions taken in prosecution of the war. However, most of us kept focus on our assigned duties as directed by military leaders in execution of the orders of our president and commanderin-chief. Despite these past events on campus, I find the current campus unrest more troubling. This time it’s not about demanding an end to an unbelievably costly and unpopular war. It’s an assault on the rule of law in our democratic republic, the very core values embedded in our laws long honored within the prestigious institutions that support and sustain our Constitutional government. I view the Princeton Student Group advocating a return to true “academic freedom and open dialogue” as right. The University needs to acknowledge the legitimacy of their concerns. Their group is now the one bearing abusive burdens of hate and discrimination for their personal beliefs, both by faculty and fellow students. JOHN CLEARWATER Governors Lane

Hard to Understand the Significant Societal Value Of Current Student Protest Over Woodrow Wilson

To the Editor: Few people can deny the positive power of student protests throughout our history — demonstrations, sit-ins, and marches decrying the evils of the Vietnam War, segregation, nuclear proliferation, to name a few, are all significant contributions made by our country’s justice-seeking youth. However, I’m hard pressed to understand the significant societal value of the current student protest over Woodrow Wilson. Why this protest now? I first became aware of this movement several weeks ago when I saw an expensive full color poster on Nassau Street of Woodrow Wilson’s face alongside a statement that he made more than 100 years ago referring to the American Reconstruction (1865-1877). Surely, there are many protest-worthy causes today, including modern day slavery or human trafficking. Slavery statistics are hard to come by because slavery is ostensibly against the law and slave trading is performed in a shadowy underworld, but even by the most conservative of estimates there are about 50,000 slaves in the U.S.A. today with about 5,000 human beings sold here every year for forced manual and sexual labor. Ending slavery in the United States would seem to be a more deserving cause for student protestors, especially for groups whose history has been so blighted by this evil practice.

Clifford W. Zink, the foremost expert on the Roebling family and the John A. Roebling’s Sons Company, talks about his new book, Mercer Magic: Roeblings, Kusers, The Mercer Automobile Company and America’s First Sports Car, on Sunday, December 13, at 2 p.m. at Ellarslie, the Trenton City Museum, in Cadwalader Park, Trenton. The cost is $5 for members of the Trenton Museum Society and $10 for non-members. Mercer Magic is a story of Trenton’s entrepreneurship, innovation, and national achievement in the exciting first decades of the 20th century when the new technology of automobiles was sweeping the country. Members of the Roebling and Kuser families started t h e M e r c e r Au to m ob i l e Company in 1909 to build automobiles “in a class by itself,” and that’s what they d id. Mercer Automobile Company produced f ine touring and sporting cars, most notably the two-seater Raceabout, which an amateur sportsman could drive around tow n dur ing the

week and take to the local track to race on weekends. The few Mercers that survive today are highly prized by private collectors and museums. A 1911 Mercer Raceabout sold at auction last year for $2.53 million. Jay Leno and other car collectors have long recognized the Mercer Raceabout as America’s first sports car, and today it is a shining example of the city’s motto “Trenton Makes The World Takes.” The Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie is located in the middle of the Frederick Law Olmsted designed Cadwalader Park, with an entrance on Parkside Avenue, in Trenton. There is abundant free parking in front of the museum. Museum hours are Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday 1 to 4 p.m. It is closed Mondays and municipal holidays. Visit www. ellarslie.org for more information and directions. ———

Artist SiriOm Singh’s Work at Blawenburg Cafe

Local artist SiriOm Singh will be displaying his art in Skillman’s Blawenburg Café located at 391 County Road 518 in Blawenburg until Friday, January 8. The work can be viewed weekdays

from 7 a.m.– 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m.–3 p.m. There will be an artist reception on Friday, December 5 from 6-8 p.m. Singh sees himself as an abstract expressionist. He uses acrylic and collage applying layering techniques, primarily with a pallet knife, to create images that are intended to help the viewer experience inner peace, love, and unity. The show displays recent images of landscapes and seascapes, some painted on location, and some recreated in the studio, from memory, or from the artist’s imagination. Singh sees all images as portraits - representations of our humanity and our need to plant ourselves solidly in the world. Singh’s work has been displayed at the New Jersey State Museum, Ellarslie — the Trenton City Museum, ArtWorks, The Gallery at Mercer County Community College, Da Vince Alliance, Ar tsbr idge, and Phillips Mill, and is part of many private collections. From more information on Singh or the Blawenburg Café visit www.siriomsingh.com/art or http://blawenburgcafe. com/cafe/.

The artist sees all images as portraits to create structures that have a personality and become living things that serve as a testament to how we care for our world. Singh’s exhibition will be on display until Friday, January 8.

MUSIC REVIEW

The New Jersey Symphony Presents A Thanksgiving Holiday Baroque Concert

or its annual Thanksgiving weekend concert this year, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO) looked back through music history. NJSO concertmaster Eric Wyrick served as both conductor and violin soloist for three works harking back to the days before conductors formally stood in front of orchestras. Friday night’s NJSO performance in Richardson Auditorium showed the nearly full house how an instrumental ensemble can work within itself to create music rooted in solid communication and musical trust. In his career, Mr. Wyrick has had extensive experience as both a follower and a leader in an ensemble; in conjunction with his position as concertmaster of NJSO, he regularly appears as soloist with orchestras worldwide and has recorded an extensive repertory. Friday night’s concert was centered on Antonio Vivaldi’s early 18th-century concerto set The Four Seasons, for which Mr. Wyrick served as violin soloist. In the four concerti selected, a chamber-sized NJSO demonstrated the true orchestral intricacy of 18th-century music with themes passed among players and complex musical conversations. Mr. Wyrick brought The Four Seasons into the 21st century by playing off an iPad, and added a wealth of 19th and 20th-century interpretive style to music which is sometimes considered repetitive. In this performance, nothing was boring, and there was tremendous variety in dynamics, contrast, and melodic lines. Throughout the 12 movements of Vivaldi’s work, Mr. Wyrick maneuvered well from the long melodic lines of the inner slow movements to the ferocious virtuosity of the closing “Prestos” and “Allegros.” While the ensemble violinists played without excessive vibrato, Mr. Wyrick added a bit of color to the solo lines. The solo violin was often paired with solo cello, perfectly timed and elegantly played by NJSO principal cellist Stephen Fang. Principal violist Frank Foerster provided a clean contrast to Mr. Wyrick’s solo violin in the middle movement “Largo” of the opening “Spring,” and Mr. Wyrick was paired multiple times with violinists Brennan Sweet and Francine Storck, creating lively melodic interplay. The musicians of the

NJSO well captured Vivaldi’s depictions of the seasons, ranging from the blazing heat of summer to the icy starkness of the dead of winter. The other two works performed on the program dated from later than Vivaldi, yet both recalled the courtliness of the Baroque era, if not earlier. The symphonic works of Italian composer Luigi Boccherini are familiar, yet people often forget he was a contemporary of Mozart, with the same sophisticated classical style. Boccherini bridged the period between the Baroque and Classical eras, and his 1771 Symphony No. 6 in D minor fused the precision of the early 18th century with the musical drama so well exploited by Mozart. Led by Mr. Wyrick, the NJSO began Boccherini’s three-movement symphony with a spirited “Allegro” full of the melodic “rockets” prevalent at the time. The violins in particular moved along quickly, with clean melodic turns. The second movement “Andantino,” for strings alone, was dark in its minor key without being overly somber, as the players delicately cadenced phrases together. The NJSO maintained musical drama until the end of the operatic “Allegro” which closed the work. ttorino Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances recalled the music of an even earlier time — as far back as the early 17th century. Respighi’s three suites which comprise Ancient Airs drew on lute and vocal works of the Renaissance period, infused with 20th-century orchestral color. From the outset of Suite No. 1, Mr. Wyrick led the orchestra in an interpretation which was light and delicate. The addition of winds to the orchestral color was clean, marked by graceful oboe solos throughout the work by Nick Masterson. Harpsichordist Robert Wolinsky was a constant foundation throughout the work (as he was throughout the evening) and a flowing harp played by Nancy Allen added a modern touch to the orchestral color. Throughout the suite, the NJSO created a pastoral atmosphere recalling a 17th-century countryside, exemplifying the musical precision and accuracy which marked the entire evening. —Nancy Plum

As Time Goes By, We’ll Always Have Ingrid Bergman — A Centenary Celebration

“not only bears a startling resemblance to an imaginable human being” but “really knows how to act in a blend of poetic grace with quiet realism which almost never appears in American pictures.” In his long profile of Bergman for Time, Agee tries to define “her particular kind of beauty …. What makes it hard to compete with is that, coming from within, it is the beauty of an individual …. Miss Bergman comes of a tradition in which an interest in realism, in the huge and various wealth of actual life, is as natural to a good actress as to a good novelist.” Agee ends the piece in Timespeak: “For when all the political whoopdedoodle about the film is over,” the fact is that “whatever Hollywood’s Bell tolled for, Ingrid Bergman rang it.” Hemingway’s Bergman Ernest Hemingway once said that “the best way for a writer to deal with the movie business was to arrange a quick meeting at

hen Bogart tells Bergman “We’ll always have Paris” as they say their farewells in Casablanca, he’s responding to her plaintive question “What about us?” For Rick and Ilsa, Paris is another word for love. “We lost it until you came to Casablanca,” he tells her. “We got it back last night.” While the city of the title is a Moorish fantasy fabricated on a back lot at Warners with stock footage of an overview, Paris is the absolute that will always be the City of Light as Humphrey Bogart will always be the epitome of cool, Ingrid Bergman the epitome of beauty, and “As Time Goes By” the theme song of their romance. When the two lovers were reunited in Rick’s night club, they talked of the last time they were together, in a Montmartre cafe called the Belle Aurore on the day the Germans marched into Paris. “Not an easy day to forget,” said Rick. “I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.” One wonders how many takes were needed before Bogart could deliver that last sentence with a straight face, but Casablanca is brimming with quotable lines. “Here’s lookin’ at you, kid,” Bogart’s own unscripted contribution is used almost to excess, until he says it gently, tenderly, movingly during the film’s emotional moment of truth, Bergman’s face aglow in one of cinema’s most hallowed close-ups, all love and longing, tears in her eyes, as they say goodbye. This is what Bergman is all about, making you forget the virtually audible tapping of the typewriter cranking out the requisite dialogue for Bogart (“I’m not good at being noble but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world”), while charming you to the point where you could care less that Rick pairs the blue Ilsa wore at the Belle Aurore in Paris with the uniforms of the German army. “An Imaginable Human Being” Graham Greene ends a mixed review of Bergman’s first American film, Intermezzo (1940), by asking “What star before has made her first appearance on the international stage with a highlight gleaming on her nose-tip? That gleam is typical of a performance that doesn’t give the effect of acting at all, but of living — without make up.” Greene goes on to note that Bergman’s co-star Leslie Howard, “with his studied inflexions, can’t help seeming a little false beside the awkward truth of this young actress.” Greene fears that “this first picture” will be “regretfully” remembered “after the grooming and training” does to her what they have done to other actresses. Three years later, the quality that impressed Greene is still very much in evidence according to James Agee in The Nation. After ridiculing Hollywood’s travesty of Hemingway’s For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), “which has no more organic connection” to the political reality of the Spanish Civil War “than a Gideon Bible has with a hotel bedroom,” Agee writes, “There is, on the other hand, Ingrid Bergman,” who

the California state line. You throw them your book, they throw you the money. Then you jump into your car and drive like hell back the way you came.” Even so, Hemingway had a hand in casting the lead roles in For Whom the Bell Tolls. Besides being determined from the start that his friend Gary Cooper play the part of Robert Jordan, he sent Bergman a copy of the novel inscribed “You are the Maria in this book.” When Bergman informed David O. Selznick, to whom she was under contract, he set up a lunch for her with Hemingway in San Francisco and invited a Life magazine photographer to cover it. In the subsequent article, Hemingway was quoted saying, “If you don’t act in the picture, Ingrid, I won’t work on it,” after warning her that she’d need to crop her hair to play the part, and asking to see her ears, “which would of course be exposed. Like everything else about her, they struck him as remarkably photogenic.” As it happened, Maria’s haircut became the most requested style in beauty salons all over America, presumably the only time

the fiction of Ernest Hemingway influenced women’s fashion. An Amazing Entrance Bergman’s last picture prior to her fateful move to Italy to work with Italian neo-realist director Roberto Rossellini was Alfred Hitchcock’s Under Capricorn, a period drama set in Australia that is worth seeing if only for Bergman’s performance, one of several beautiful embattled victims she played, including her Oscar winner as the wife Charles Boyer tries to drive mad in Gaslight (1944) and as the spy Cary Grant rescues from the Nazis in Hitchcock’s Notorious (1946). In Under Capricorn Bergman is Lady Henrietta Flusky whose husband Sam Flusky made his fortune in New South Wales after serving time for a murder he didn’t commit. They live in a gothic mansion where she is being tormented by a

pushed back, “Please be seated, gentlemen. I hope I’m not too late to take a glass of wine with you.” Her manner of speaking is tenuous, odd, unnatural, as if she were under duress, fearful that any minute the facade of language will give way and she’ll become incoherent. As the camera finally reveals her face, which seems to be floating in a lovely stupor, Flusky says, “My wife, gentlemen, Lady Henrietta Flusky.” The dazed, dreamily gorgeous woman with flowers entwined in her ringleted hair like a floral tiara seems to have walked out of a poet’s fantasy, like Tennyson’s Lady of Shallot or Ophelia saved from drowning, as she makes her way carefully to the other end of the table, gown rustling, holding her head up but barely, again as if she might at any minute lose her bearings and give way to hysteria. Thus the audience discovers why no wives would deign to join their husbands at Flusky’s table. Hitchcock’s motive in directing the scene must have been to make the audience’s heart go out to her, she’s all at once mysterious, haunted, damaged, not of the real world, and scarily beautiful. The nature of her presence, the fragile balance between her manner and the way she speaks, as if every sentence were a small victory, recalls James Agee’s description of a younger Bergman who knows “how to act in a blend of poetic grace,” one who awakens in the audience “an appetite for the sudden lights, edged shades and flexibilities of reality.” A Case of Do or Die In the song shared by the two lovers at the Belle Aurore in Paris, “a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh and the fundamental things apply.” But we never hear the introduction, a standard feature of vintage songs that is often either forgotten or overlooked. In fact, there’s a Princeton connection to Casablanca’s song of songs. ritten in 1931 by that household name, Herman Hupfeld, and voted second place after “Over the Rainbow” in the American Film Institute List of Top 100 Movie Songs, “As Time Goes By” actually begins with reference to how “this day and age we’re living in” gives “cause for apprehension,” what with “speed and new invention” and “things like third dimension,” so “we get a trifle weary with Mr. Einstein’s theory” and “must get down to earth at times,” for “no matter what the progress” or “what may yet be proved, “the simple facts of life … cannot be removed.” These are the “fundamental things” referred to in the body of the song. But the transition from the unfamiliar prelude to the familiar melody is actually quite moving as the lyric we know by heart emerges — “moonlight and love songs … never out of date … the same old story, a fight for love and glory, a case of do or die” — glowing like an Ingrid Bergman closeup. In a similar way, Casablanca emerges again and again for generations of moviegoers, whether during the darkest days of World War II or at this particular moment in time, shining with the reflected glory of a city the world knows “by heart” in the aftermath of Friday 13, 2015. —Stuart Mitchner

jealous housekeeper (Margaret Leighton), who is slowly destroying her with clandestine infusions of alcohol while using a hideous shrunken head at strategic moments to make her mistress think she’s going mad. It’s important that the audience knows nothing of the situation when Bergman makes her entrance, one of the most memorable of her career. Eight men are seated at the long elegantly set, candelabra-lit dinner table, with the host, Sam Flusky, at the head. Grace has been said and the men have just begun talking when conversation comes to a sudden stop as everyone turns toward Flusky. In the tense silence, all that can be heard is the rustling of a woman’s dress. This being Hitchcock, there’s an eerie quality to the sound and its unseen source, as if it were the prelude to a sinister visitation. As Flusky turns in his chair, the camera moves past him to show, close-up, a woman’s bare feet walking toward the table, then her hands slowly descending to rest on her husband’s shoulders, her voice heard above the sound of chairs being confusedly

Tony Award-winning theater and opera director John Doyle will participate in a conversation about the production of Stephen Sondheim’s musicals on Tuesday, December 8 as part of Professor of Theater Stacy Wolf’s fall course, “The Musical Theater of Stephen Sondheim: Process to Production.” The event, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Music Theater Lab, will run from 1:30 to 2:50 p.m. in Room 219 at 185 Nassau Street and is free and open to the public. The course examines the musicals of Stephen Sondheim, asking how musical theater’s elements of music, lyrics, script, dance, and design cohere in Sondheim’s musicals. Students in the course explore influences on his art, both personal and cultural, his collaborators, and the historical and theatrical milieu by reading libretti, listening to music, seeing taped and live performances, researching production histories, and analyzing popular, critical, and scholarly reception. Professional musical theater artists are enhancing class lectures with a series of visits. Doyle is the final speaker in the series. John Doyle is a Scottish director of musicals, plays, and operas. He has directed more than 200 productions internationally and has been nominated for six Drama Desk Awards and two Tony Awards.

Wins Barrymore Award

Trenton’s very own Passage Theatre won the 2015 Barrymore Award for Outstanding Ensemble in a Play for last season’s Little Rock. The award, which honors excellence in theater, was presented to the company on November 2 by Theatre Philadelphia. Told in music and memory, Little Rock, written and directed by Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj, is the courageous story of the nine black students who fought for integration at Little Rock Central High School in 1957. The award-winning Little Rock ensemble cast featured Adiagha Faizah, Shabass Green, Annie Grier, Bliss Griffin, Gia McGlone, Damian Norfleet, Brad Ogden, Jon L. Peacock, and Brandon Rubin. “As we celebrate Passage Theatre’s 30 th anniversary season, we are thrilled to be recognized with this award,” said Artistic Director June Ballinger. “This award is an incredible tribute to the cast and crew of Little Rock for all of their superb work and to our loyal audience members who have supported the work of Passage over the years.” Passage Theatre’s 201516 season continues with the Solo Flights Festival, on March 3 through 20, and concludes with Bruce Graham’s fearless play, White Guy on the Bus, on May 5 through 22.

The American Boychoir Is “Home for the Holidays”

The American Boychoir’s annual “Home for the Holidays” performance will take place at Richardson Auditorium on Sunday, December 20 at 4 p.m. To purchase tickets, call ( 609 ) 258 9220. Artistic Director Fernando Malvar-Ruiz states, “This year’s holiday program was created as an homage to our many supporters and fans. It stemmed from this fundamental question : if people could pick one song for the American Boychoir to sing for them during the

holidays, what would it be? The answers to that question put together an ‘all-star’ collection of favorites, as well as what I hope to be a most enjoyable concert experience.” Earlier this year, there was some doubt that the American Boychoir School would even be open for the holidays, because the school filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in April and the fate of the school was unknown. However, the American Boychoir School leadership, students, parents, and community came together in an unprecedented effort to not only keep the doors open, but to position the school and its revered choir for the future. The holiday season offers the perfect opportunity for the American Boychoir to

celebrate and thank its many friends and supporters who are working so hard to keep the school open. The school recently embarked on an ambitious National Talent Search Initiative with a goal of having at least one boy from all 50 states represented at the school and in the choir. At the end of each concert, a call for auditions is made and directors of local school and church choirs in the area are contacted to encourage nominations of local boys. The American Boychoir School offers rolling admissions throughout the year. Auditions for interested boys in grades three through seven will be held immediately following a performance.

“Rocky” Series Revived in This Compelling Spin-Off

who’s had several scrapes with the law because of his quick temper and a tendency to settle arguments with his powerful fists. Just past the point of departure, the hot-headed Adonis is informed by Apollo Creed’s (Carl Weathers) widow (Phylicia Rashad) that he is the illegitimate son of Rocky’s original opponent. Fast-forward a few years, where we learn that Adonis has learned to channel his anger and explosive might by becoming a boxer. Over the objections of his adoptive mother (Mrs. Creed) he decides to follow in his father’s footsteps. He moves to Philadelphia to find Rocky who is now running a restaurant called Adrian’s. Adonis prevails upon the ex-champ to serve as his trainer. Rocky agrees on condition that he change his surname to Creed. Soon Adonis rises in the ranks to become the number 1 contender and lands a title fight with Pretty Ricky Conlan (Tony Bellow). In addition, Adonis falls in love with his next-door neighbor, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), an aspiring hip-hop artist who is on the verge of success. Away from the gym, he also spends time with Rocky, and even gives him some heartfelt advice that just might save his aging mentor’s life. This engaging seventh episode can rightfully claim to be a highly recommended spin-off of the legendary series. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG -13 for violence, profanity, and sensuality. LEARNING FROM THE MASTER: Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan, left) is being trained by Running time: 95 minhis father’s former opponent, Rocky Bilboa, in the fine points of championship boxing. With utes. Distributor: Warner Rocky’s help, Creed quickly rises to the top to become the number one contender for the Brothers Pictures. world championship in boxing. —Kam Williams

hen most people think of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), what automatically comes to mind is the image of a gutsy underdog who holds his own in the boxing ring against a variety of imposing adversaries. Each installment of the series has been about the buildup leading to a riveting championship bout between the underdog and a world champion. Directed by Ryan Coogler, Creed is a spin-off that pays homage to that tried-and-true formula but also departs from the series’ successful formula. The change is that this film devotes attention to character development in addition to ratcheting up the tension leading to the showdown bout. The picture reunites Coogler with Michael B. Jordan, who starred in his directorial debut, the critically acclaimed Frutivale Station. In Creed, Jordan plays Adonis Johnson, a juvenile delinquent

Camillo’s Popular Italian Restaurant Reopens at Avanti Location in Pennington

ood news! Camillo is back. After a hiatus of two years during which time he had closed Camillo’s Cafe in the Princeton Shopping Center, Camillo Tortola has opened Camillo’s Avanti.

IT’S NEW To Us

He recently purchased Avanti Restaurant at 23 West Delaware Street in Penning ton, and is now ready to offer customers his traditional classic Italian cuisine in Camillo’s signature relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well,” says Chef Tortola, quoting Virginia Woolf. As a chef, he has been devoted to creating delicious authentic Italian dishes. It is what he has been doing his adult life, and what fascinated him when he was a boy.

Born in Italy, and brought up by his grandmother in the small village of Miranda, Camillo was intrigued by his grandmother’s cooking. Cooking Style “My grandmother was very poor after World War II. She had a simplicity and purity in the food that she prepared that shaped my palate. She’d put a chicken in a pot, with all fresh vegetables, and the flavor was wonderful. I fell in love with her cooking style, from Naples” he recalls. “I remember tasting the freshest, purest ingredients, combined with the just the right colorful presentation. And the taste and aroma were very appealing. She fed me very well! I’d watch her, and that’s when I decided to become a chef.” Camillo trained for two ye ar s at t he Rocc aras o Cooking School in Italy, and worked in a variety of Italian restaurants as a chef before moving to Scotland, where he worked with the well-known Italian chef Enzo Ripa. He later owned two restaurants there, including one in Edinburgh.

After coming to Princeton 12 years ago, Mr. Tortola worked in this area as an independent chef before deciding to open his own restaurant. Camillo’s Cafe in the Princeton Shopping Center was noted for authentic Italian cuisine, focusing on special recipes and the freshest ingredients. Now, he intends to offer the same focus on healthy eating with his special flavor and flair at Camillo’s Avanti. “The simplicity of Italian food is what makes it so popular,” he explains. “Simplicity is what drives my food and my cooking. A Mediterranean diet is the best in the world. Olive oil and tomato sauce are so good for you!” Everything at the restaurant is prepared to order, he adds, and everything is fresh. “We get fish, meat, produce, and dair y from the New Fulton Fish Market in the Bronx. I go there myself two and three times a week, and I always check the freshness. There is no middle man involved.

“We also have homemade pasta, which we make right here, and I get prosciutto, salami, and cheese directly from Italy.” Signature Dishes Lu nch and din ner are served at the restaurant, and customers are finding many of Camillo’s signature dishes as well as a number of new choices on the menu. “I always have my Pap pardelle con Italian sausage Ragu, with fresh shaved pecorino cheese and truffle oil; also, the fish we get is wild, not farmed, including our Linguine Salmone, with homemade linguini tossed in a blush cream sauce with line-caught Atlantic salmon and wild mushrooms. A recent menu included a variety of appetizers, such as Charcuterie for Two, with mixed Italian meats, cheeses, and pickled vegetables, served with bruschetta; also Lump Crabmeat crabcakes, served with a sage lemon butter; and Shrimp Pepperoncino, jumbo shrimp sauteed with homemade marinara and spicy pepperoncino peppers finished with white wine and basil. Pasta dishes include homemade ravioli of the day, as well as Linguine Primavera Arrabiata, with mixed seasonal vegetables tossed in a spicy marinara, among other choices. Other popular dishes are chicken, veal, or shrimp in traditional sauces, including marsala, franchaise, and parmesan served over cappelini; Lamb Chops Salmorillo —domestic lamb chops in a classic southern Italian sauce made with lemon, garlic, oregano, and fresh parsley; Chicken Sinatra, breaded and topped with ricotta cheese, spinach, and mozzarella, served in a blush creamy sauce over penne; and Prime Filet Mignon Royale Tre Fungi — 10-ounce filet served with sauteed porcini, shitake, and oyster mushrooms, finished with a brandy house veal demi glace. Camillo’s customers rarely skip dessert, and as Chef Camillo points out, “My ricotta

DINING ITALIANO: “We’re keeping the Camillo’s tradition with the same authentic Italian cuisine.

Rebounding From 1st Regular Season Loss Since 2014, PU Women’s Hoops Wins Loyola Marymount Tourney

nnie Tarakchian suffered through a rare off night when the Princeton University women’s basketball team lost at Seton Hall to see its 32-game regular season winning streak come to an end. The senior star and tri-captain hit just 1-of-11 shots from the floor and had three points as the Tigers fell 71-64 to the Pirates in the November 19 contest. As Princeton hit the court last week for its next game at Rider, Tarakchian was chomping at the bit to get back into action. “It was frustrating last game, honestly I just wanted to get back out there and play another game because not having a game for a while after a rough one makes you think about it longer,” said Tarakchian, a 6’0 native of West Hills, Calif. Tarakchian didn’t waste any time getting back in the groove, scoring 11 of Princeton’s first 15 points as the Tigers jumped out to a 21-13 lead and never looked back on the way to a 78-59 win over the Broncs in the November 24 game. “It was much better,” said Tarakchian, who ended the evening with 21 points on 8-of-11 shooting with 3-of-6 from 3-point range. “I was happy to get back on the court and do better.” In pulling away from the Broncs, the Tigers were able to get every player on the floor at some point in the contest as they looked to incorporate new faces into the rotation. “It is totally different from last year, we lost four and gained six new ones,” said Tarakchian, who also chipped in nine rebounds and three assists in the win over Rider. “It was fun seeing them out on the court today and being able to cheer them on and see them dive into college basketball and adjust to the pace. I remember being in that spot. It was tough for me too.”

Princeton head coach Courtney Banghart had fun seeing her team bounce back in style from the setback at Seton Hall. “I know my group so well by now, I think they are still learning how to be the better team,” said Banghart. “I love the humility of trying to prove it night in and night out, it takes a little confidence that success requires and they are still building that as a group. I get to see them battle every day in practice and I knew that our seniors would be what we need. They are still figuring out what we need but they are figuring it out more and more every game.” Banghart knew that she was going to get a big effort from Tarakchian in the wake of her subpar performance against Seton Hall. “If we have to go through the year knowing that Annie is going to bring us to the title, I will sleep well at night,” said Banghart. “She is a competitor. I think she is disappointed that she didn’t get a double double but I have to take that one since I played her only 22 minutes.” While Banghart was disappointed by her team’s loss to Seton Hall, she believes the Tigers learned a valuable lesson in the process. “They felt like they needed to prove that they were the better team, they didn’t think they were the better team,” said Banghart. “Therefore they adjusted to Seton Hall before we even jumped the ball in the air. I want it the other way around, I want teams to have to adjust to us. This is a really, really good team with lots of good pieces. We are not perfect and that is what makes it fun to coach. We are a very solid basketball team.” Princeton gave further proof that it is very solid over the weekend, rolling to the title at the Loyola Marymount Thanksgiv-

ing Classic in Los Angeles by beating UC-Irvine 83-42 in the opening round on Friday and then defeating Seattle University 85-48 the next day in the championship game. Senior guard Michelle Miller passed the 1,000 point mark in the win over Seattle and was named the Classic’s Most Valuable Player after totaling 35 points on the weekend. Classmate Amanda Berntsen, who poured in a career-high 21 points in the championship game, and Tarakchian, with a total of 32 points and 20 rebounds in the two games, joined Miller on the All-Tournament team. In looking ahead to the tourney, Banghart was confident her team would take care of business. We looked at it like a threegame road trip; we wanted to win all three so this is the first one and we have got two TAKING FLIGHT: Princeton University women’s basketball player more to go,” said Banghart, Annie Tarakchian, right, battles a Rider player for the ball as whose squad is now 5-1 and the teams met last week.

After starting its season by pulling out a pair of nailbiters in tight wins over Rider and Saint Peter’s, the Princeton University men’s basketball team went on cruise control against visiting Lafayette last Wednesday. Princeton jumped out to 14-2 over the Leopards three minutes into the contest and the rout was on. The Tigers led 33-11 midway through the first half and by 57-24 at intermission. Things didn’t change in the second half as Princeton rolled to a 104-52 victory. In the process, the Tigers achieved a number of superlatives. It was the most points Princeton had scored in a game since February 26, 1971, a 108 - 64 win over Yale, which was also the last time the Tigers hit 100 in a game. Princeton’s 52-point margin of victory was its largest over a Division I opponent since defeating Brown by 58 in a 96-38 win on February 10, 1968. The team’s 17 3-pointers for the evening were the second-most against a Division I team in the 30-plus years the line has been in the college game. Nine Princeton players hit 18 3s against Pacific two seasons ago, and eight players hit 17 3s in the Lafayette win. Princeton junior star Steven Cook, who helped get the deluge star ted when he hit the first 3-pointer to put the Tigers up 5-2, en-

joyed the way things flowed against Lafayette. “There has been a lid on the rim for some of us and we started making shots and just starting running through our offense and things started clicking for us,” said Cook. “It feels good in a game like that but you can never be satisfied. We are looking at the next few games.” Cook, who achieved his first career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds against the Leopards, was simply looking to go hard every minute he was on the floor. “I always take every game with the same approach, to play as hard as I can and that is all I can do,” said Cook, a 6’5, 197-pound native of Winnetka. Ill. “I feel like I have been getting rebounds in practice, I think it just translated into the game.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Mitch Henderson likes seeing his team produce a break-out offensive effort. We are the same team that struggled a little bit to score against Saint Peter’s (a 7572 win on November 21) but I think we are just three days better,” said Henderson. “The guys are really committing to each other and the way the ball moves, it is an unselfish group. When they play unselfishly, the ball starts going down and everybody feels a little better. I think that the first three

that went down, Steve’s, set the tone. We can shoot. Tonight was one of those nights where it was feeling good. I liked in our first two games we had to find ways to win when it wasn’t going down. Henderson felt really good about Cook’s double-double. “He is due, he was going to get one at some point,” said Henderson of Cook. “He is such a good rebounder, taking the ball out of other people’s hands. He is up there, he gets them every day in practice. I am not surprised. Steve is such a unique player and he has really worked hard on his defense, which is another part of his game. Today he got his hands on five or six passes.” Ever y Princeton player got into the Lafayette game and five ended up in double figures with junior Henry Caruso scoring 13, freshman Devin Cannady adding 12, sophomore Mike LeBlanc chipping in 12, and freshman Noah Bramlage contributing 14 in addition to Cook’s 12. “I think absolutely it pays off; nobody played more than 20 minutes and we got a lot of points off the bench,” said Henderson, whose team kept putting up the points last Monday as it beat Fairleigh Dickinson 91-61 with Caruso scoring a careerhigh 27 points to lead the way as the Tigers improved to 4-0 for the first time since the 1997-98 season. “I think mostly, for me, the guys were going hard so we were able to get a lot of guys in. The energy never wavered, they knew they were going to go right back in so they were giving everything they had. We are a little bit of a work in progress, still figuring out what we are going to be like post-Hans (Brase). Tonight we learned a lot.” Cook, true to character, is looking for the Tigers to keep working hard as they prepare to play at Stony Brook on December 5 and at Saint Joseph’s on December 8. “It is hard to not feel good but at the same time we are not going to be satisfied, we have some big games coming up,” said Cook, who is now averaging 11.0 points and 5.5 rebounds a game. “We have to have a great practice on Friday and keep doing what we are doing, moving forward and getting better.” —Bill Alden

Clicking in Sweep of Two-Game Set at RIT, PU Women’s Hockey Primed for Homestand Coming off a tough weekend in upstate New York which saw it lose nailbiters at St. Lawrence and Clarkson, the Princeton University women’s hockey team was primed to come out on fire last Friday when it returned to the area to start a twogame set at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). The Tigers jumped out to a 1-0 lead over RIT midway through the first period as freshman star Karlie Lund found the back of the net. P r i n ce ton n e ver lo oke d back, pulling away to a 4-0 win with junior Hilary Lloyd, junior Kelsey Koelzer, and junior Morgan Sly adding goals and senior netminder Kimberly Newell making 18 saves in earning the shutout. A day later, the Tigers utilized that same formula for success, getting first period goals from Kiersten Falck and Molly Contini to jump out to a 2-0 lead on the way to a 6-1 victory. Contini added a second goal with Lloyd, Koelzer, and senior Jaimie McDonell also finding the back of the net. “We had a good weekend at RIT,” said Princeton head coach Jeff Kampersal, whose team improved to 7-41 overall with the sweep. “Our whole year, we have been relentless and we have played hard. It is just a matter of executing at key times. Everything clicked for us this weekend, which was good.” Kampersal credited the precocious Lund with triggering things. “Our freshman Karlie Lund is having a great start so far,” said Kampersal of Lund, who leads the team in scoring with 13 points on six goals and seven assists. “She makes incredible plays, each goal or each assist is a big time play. She scored the first one to get us going on Friday. We scored fairly early and maintained a good level of intensity. In the third, we played well.” On Saturday, it was veterans Contini, McDonell, and Lloyd who set the tone. “To come back the next day and score in the first minute into the period was really important,” said Kampersal. “It was great that Molly scored two. Jaimie scored and Hilary scored. We really need those three to get going for us to have some success towards the end of

the year.” Having played nine of its first 12 games on the road, Princeton is going to be home for a while, starting a six-game homestand by hosting No. 7 Harvard on December 4 and Dartmouth on December 5. “ We have t ravele d s o much; I feel like we have been on the road forever,” said Kampersal, whose team is 3-4-1 in ECAC Hockey play. “That’s the way that the schedule had shook out; it has been a grind. I told them I was proud of them for getting through the grind. Now we don’t travel until January, so we have a chance to hopefully get a little rest and have confidence to play against a really good Harvard (8-2-1 overall, 5-1-1 ECACH) and Dartmouth (44-2 overall, 4-1-2 ECACH) teams.” The Tigers will have to keep grinding in order to overcome the Crimson and Big Green this weekend.

“Har vard has a lot of depth, they still have Michelle Picard on defense and they have a great goaltender (Emerance Maschmeyer),” said Kampersal. “You really have to match their pace and stay out of the penalty box and then who knows, our goalie is great, their goalie is great so it should be a good game. Dartmouth has a really dynamic first line that can hurt you in a hurry. We have to make sure that we contain them. Their goalie (Robyn Chemago) is playing really well and just in general, they are playing solidly. It is going to be two great games.” Kampersal is confident that he will get a great effort from his players this weekend and beyond. “The kids are coachable, they play hard and they play with heart and soul,” said Kampersal. “We just need to continue for 60 minutes and execute better. Our penalty killing is phenomenal and our power play is coming along.” —Bill Alden

Tiger Men’s Soccer Hit 10 Wins Again As Senior Class Went Out With a Bang For the seniors on the Princeton University men’s soccer team, the season finale against visiting Yale earlier this month left them with memories that will last a lifetime. “We started all nine seniors in that game; I think it was the first time they had all been on the field together,” said Princeton head coach Jim Barlow. The Class of 2016 went out with a bang as it keyed a 3-0 win over the Bulldogs on November 14, giving the Tigers a final record of 105-2 overall and 3-3-1 Ivy League. “I think the guys were fired up to send the seniors off with a really good win and it was nice to get out to an early lead,” said Barlow

“GIVE YOUR TREES AND SHRUBS A WINTER COAT” with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

You can’t buy this coat at a local department store, but it will shield your valuable evergreens from fierce and frosty winter winds. Azalea, Rhododendron, Holly, Southern Magnolia, Andromeda, Laurel, Leyland Cypress and similar species are especially susceptible. Frozen ground inhibits the intake of water through the roots, while icy winds accelerate the process of transpiration (the passage of water out of a plant in the form of vapor) through leaves and stems, resulting in a wilting and browning condition known as “Winter Kill”. Roots. A strong root system is vital to happy, healthy, sustainable plants. Fall bio-fertilization for your key trees will encourage root growth and give them additional protection and a “head start” for spring. Water. Be sure your most prized trees and shrubs go into winter with ample moisture. Winter-proofing (anti-desiccant spray) to evergreen leaves and stems, forms a colorless, wax-like film, reducing excessive water loss but does not cut off oxygen and sunshine, therefore, there is no inhibition of plant growth. Ideally, plantings should be sprayed with an anti-desiccant material once in early to mid winter. Naturally, anti–desiccant spraying is environmentally friendly and safe for your garden and community.

whose team jumped out to a 3-0 lead with all three goals coming from seniors (John Kendall, Thomas Sanner, and Andrew Doar). “I thought our guys did well in the first 30 minutes just establishing control of the game and getting some good goals.” The team’s Class of 2016, which included goalie Ben Hummel, Jack Hilger, Nico Hurtado, Brendan McSherry, Josh Miller, and Bing Lin in addition to Kendall, Sanner, and Doar, achieved a lot. “I think the senior class wound up being the sixth most successful class in Pr inceton histor y in Iv y League games,” said Barlow, noting that the class helped Princeton go 16-7-5 in Ivy League play and 36-23-8 overall in their four years. “The hardest part for these guys is that they didn’t get to the tournament. I think their freshman year and their sophomore year, they were one win away from winning the league and they won the league in their junior year. This year they were able to get back to 10 wins. It was an incredible record. They have set a high bar for the years to come. We are going to miss these guys, it was a really good group.” While Princeton was disappointed to not be in the Ivy title race down the stretch, hitting the 10-win mark for a second straight year was a big positive for the program. “In our sport, any time you get 10 wins it is a good season,” asserted Barlow, whose team went 7-2-1 in its last 10 contests. “It is not that common.

The last time we got an at large bid to the NCAA tournament in 2009, we only had nine wins. Last year we had 11 wins and this year we had 10 wins and we didn’t get in. The guys on the inside know how hard it is to get 10 wins. Every game is just so close and I think our guys did a really good job throughout the season. We had a couple of games that got away from us and those games happened to be really important games. The Dartmouth game (a 1-0 loss on October 3), the Cornell game (a 2-1 loss on October 31) and the Columbia game (a 2-0 loss on October 17) were all games that we don’t feel like we played our best.” Barlow feels good about the future of the program, pointing out that there is a good core of talent in place. “We are losing some good guys but if you look at the team we had on the field towards the end of the year, I think there is a really good nucleus to build on,” said Barlow, noting that the team returns goalie Josh Haberman, All-Ivy defender, Patrick Barba, Mark Romanowski Henry Martin, and Greg Seifert on the back line, Sean McSherry, Bryan Costa, Vikram Pothuri, Daniel Bowkett, and Matt Mangini in the midfield with Jeremy Colvin, Bryan Prudil, Harry Heffernan, and Will Lentz coming back up top. “We feel like we have some good starting points to build on, it is figuring out where the goals are coming from but that is always the hardest part. We thought it would be the case this year losing Cam Porter who had 15 goals but we were able to score a ton of goals this year. We scored more goals than any other Ivy team by a lot.”

In order to get back to the top of the Ivy standings, those returning players need to apply the lessons they learned this fall. “I think it is always hard to describe what the Ivy League games are like until you are in them with how much is on the line and the fact that you don’t get a second chance because you only play each team once and there is no tournament,” said Barlow. “Until the guys actually got a taste of it, it is tough to know how hard you have to compete and how every little detail matters. We did feel like this year we gave up too many goals that were preventable so that is a big focus going into next year.” —Bill Alden

He averaged an Ivy-best 7.5 points per game, and those didn’t factor in his three passing touchdowns. Bieck made 12 of 15 field goal attempts during his senior season, including a pair of kicks from 45 and one from 43. He also averaged 57.7 yards per kickoff, and he was 42 of 44 on extra points (both misses were blocked). The most impressive kick of his career was arguably his 45-yard field goal in a driving rain storm against Columbia during the Tigers’ 10-5 win. He ended his career with 258 points on 39 field goals and 141 extra points.

PDS Soccer Star Bunce, Hun Football’s Mayfield Earn Nod as Town Topics’ Standout Fall Performers

as t spr ing, Han na h Bunce emerged as a go -to scorer for the Princeton Day School girls lacrosse team, helping it roll to the state Prep B title. Coming into the fall, PDS girls’ soccer head coach Pat Trombetta was hoping that junior Bunce could fill the same role for his squad. “On the outside, we have Hannah attacking from the left,” said Trombetta in assessing the team. “She is physical, fast, and has a great left foot.” Bunce tallied a goal in an opening day 3-3 tie with the George School ( Pa.) and didn’t stop producing as the fall unfolded. She had two goals against Abington Friends (Pa.) in a 5-0 victory and the game winner in a 1-0 win over perennial state power Montgomery in early September games. Bunce had both goals in a 2-0 win over Blair Academy and another game winner in a 1-0 win over Hamilton. She had a hat trick in a 6-0 win over Rutgers Prep to start October, a goal in 2-0 win over Lawrenceville, a goal in 2-1 win over Hill

School (Pa.), and a goal in 3-2 win over Morristown. In the postseason, Bunce continued her lethal finishing. She tallied two goals in 3-0 win over Trinity Hall in the first round of of the state Prep B tourney and had a goal and an assist in a hardfought 2-1 win over Steinert in the Mercer County Tournament quarters. Bunce’s crowning moment, however, came in the season finale as she tallied the game-winning goal in OT in a 1-0 win over Montclair Kimberley in the state Prep B championship game. “I was just thinking you have to score, you have to score,” said Bunce, reflecting on the score which came on a blast from the left flank. “It is the final two minutes, we have to get one in. Coach told us before we went out there that it is down to whoever wants it the most and has the most heart. That is what was going through my mind.” Over the course of the season Bunce showed plenty of skill to go with her heart, scoring a team-high 17 goals

and contributing seven assists “I have a lot of confidence and coach has helped me come out of my shell a lot,” said Bunce. “Just having these girls out here to motivate me is what really helps me.” Trombetta, for his part, wasn’t surprised that Bunce culminated the fall with the golden goal that gave the Panthers the title. “Hannah has been tremendous all season, what a breakout year for her,” said Trombetta. “She was knocking on the door all game long. She is a tough mark for any team with her physicality and speed and that left foot is a cannon.” For emerging as the clutch scorer for PDS and triggering its run to a Prep B crown, Bunce is the choice as the Town Topics top female performer of the fall. Top Male Performer mamu Mayfield came to the Hun School football program as one of the most highly touted players in New Jersey. The post-graduate running back enjoyed a spectacular 2014 season with Manalapan High, rushing for 1,827 yards and 31 touchdowns before making the move to Hun. In his first play for Hun this fall in the season opener against Wyoming Seminary, Mayfield wasted no time making an impact, taking a short pass from Simon Vadas and racing 65 yards for a touchdown. The 5’9, 210-pound dynamo piled up 145 yards rushing and 85 receiving as the Raiders rolled to a 70-6 win. Hun head coach Todd Smith knew that Mayfield was going to make a huge difference for the Raiders this fall. “We have a lot of playmakers on the team this year so we just want to get the ball in their hands,” said Smith, ref lect ing on May f ield ’s spectacular debut. “Imamu is a huge part of that. He is a great running back, he is one of the best in the state.” That performance was the

first of many highlights in a great fall for Mayfield as he rushed for 203 yards and two touchdowns in a 16-0 win over Poly Prep (N.Y.), scored two touchdowns in a 28-12 victory over Blair, ran for 101 years and two TDs in a 36 - 0 win over Lawrenceville, and rushed for 165 yards and gained 71 yards receiving with two touchdowns in a 40-13 win over Peddie. Sparked by May f ield ’s heroics, Hun went 8-0 and won its second straight Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL). For Mayfield, the transition to Hun proved to be smooth. “I love Hun, I was accepted with open arms,” said Mayfield. “The guys have been nothing but great to me. I have brothers here and it is going to be an experience I am going to remember the rest of my life.” That brotherhood resulted in a memorable campaign for Mayfield and the Raiders. “Everyone on the team loves football; that’s where it all matters,” said Mayfield, who ended up with 1,384 yards rushing. “We practice hard most of the time. We all bonded. There are a lot of PGs on this team and we all love each other. We play for each other so when our backs are to the wall, we really step up and fight hard.”

Smith certainly loved having Mayfield on his squad. “Imamu is a special player; he is often, if not the best player on the field, one of the best players,” said Smith. “He just makes things happen. He is low to the ground. He is a multiple cut guy so he can make you miss but he has got the power to just run you over.” By solidifying his status as one of the best players in the state and helping Hun to another championship season, Mayfield earns the nod at the male performer this fall. Top Newcomers al Radvany boasted a special lineage in the sport as she joined the Princeton Day School field hockey team for her freshman season. Her older sister, Jackie Gaudioso Radvany, pro duced a legendary career for the Stuart Country Day School field hockey program, scoring a county record 100 goals and leading the Tartans to a state prep title and three MCT championships from 2005-08. She went on to star at the University of North Carolina and helped the Tar Heels win the NCAA title in 2009. While the younger Radvany is a defensive player, her offensive skills became a critical component of the PDS attack this fall. In addition to shoring up the back line with her physical play, Radvany contributed three goals and four assists to help the Panthers go 5-3-1 in their last nine games as they ended with a 6-13-1 record and advance to the state Prep B semifinal.

In reflecting on her debut season, Radvany felt that she made a lot of progress down the stretch. “It has been hard to come out as a freshman and come out and play at the high school level but I think it has really helped me grow as a player,” asserted Radvany. “I have improved a lot. I think I see the field better and my skills have improved. I have done better.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow credited Radvany with playing a key role in the team’s late surge. “Val has really stepped up,” said Farlow. “She is a hockey head. She has really embraced playing the position that she is in. She is making a difference.” Radvany’s impact at both ends of the field and her role in helping the Panthers show marked improvement, makes her the pick as the top female newcomer. The powerhouse Princeton High boys’ soccer team boasted a senior-laden group of defenders and midfielders this fall as it looked to maintain its winning tradition. But as the season went on, sophomore Drew Beamer, in his first varsity campaign, started to take on a greater role. Providing height, savvy, and skill, Beamer’s versatility made him a vital cog for the Little Tigers as they produced an undefeated regular season. Beamer showed his value in the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals as he came on for an ill Peter Luther and scored the winning goal on a header in a 2-1 win over crosstown rival Continued on Next Page

Princeton Day School. He also scored a goal as PHS topped East Brunswick 3-1 in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional quarterfinals. While the Little Tigers fell in the semis of both tourneys on the way to a 16-2-3 record, Beamer gained a lot in his first varsity campaign. “It has been great, it is teaching me a lot for next year because all of them are going to leave,” said Beamer. “The biggest challenges are moving the ball quicker, my first touch, and finding people quicker through the middle.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe sees a great future for Beamer. “I am so proud and happy for him to make such a significant contribution to the team,” said Sutcliffe, whose team won the CVC title. “He is very levelheaded; he has so many qualities. He is going to be one of the best we have ever had.” In becoming a key contributor for PHS in his debut campaign, Beamer is the top male newcomer of the fall season. Top Coaches decorated group of seniors for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team culminated a special run by winning the state Prep B title last fall to go with the Mercer County Tournament crown they won the year before, a first in program history. C om i ng i nto 2015, it looked like it could be a transition year for the Panthers as the program welcomed 10 new faces and had just one senior. Looking ahead to the season, PDS head coach Pat Trombetta acknowledged that his squad was a work in process. “It is a matter of developing chemistry with our new players,” said Trombetta. “It will be a team searching for its identity. I think there will be bumps early but we should get better and better as the season goes on.” It didn’t take long for the Panthers to establish their identity as one of the toughest defending teams in the area, starting off 11-0 -1 with eight shutouts. The Panthers earned the top seed in both the Mercer County Tournament and the state Prep B tourney. After falling to eventual cou nt y cha mpion Not re Dame in the MCT semis, the Panthers had one last shot at a title. They proceeded to edge Wardlaw-Hartridge 1-0 in the state Prep B semis and won a 1-0 overtime thriller against Montclair Kimberley in the Prep B championship game. “The first goal in the beginning of the season was to defend our title, that was our primary goal from day one,” said Trombetta, whose team ended the fall with a final record of 17-2-1. “We got this opportunity today and we jumped all over it. It is great, this is our third straight championship.” For doing a great job in guiding the new look Panthers to year another title, Trombetta is the choice as the top coach of a female team this fall. While Mark Shelley knew his Princeton High boys’

cross countr y team was stocked with some talented runners, he was unsure how it would fare being switched to Group 4 from Group 3. “At the beginning of the season when we got moved up to Group 4, I wasn’t sure we would get out of the sectional, looking at everybody and who they had back,” said Shelley. “I knew we had a chance to have a good year but at the same time there are things you can’t predict.” The Little Tigers served notice that they were very good when they defeated longtime nemesis and perennial power WW/P-S in a CVC meet in October. PHS ended October by taking a strong second at the Mercer County Championships, finishing just three points (74-77) behind champion Robbinsville. “On the one hand, there is the disappointment, the guys feel it,” said Shelley, noting that his team defeated WW/ P-S by 13 points (77-90) to earn the runner-up spot. “But at the same time when we look at where we were a few years ago or when we look at last year, we were a distant fifth 129 points out, I am real proud of them. We focus on what we call process and to me in the grand scheme of life, this is another step.” After taking third at the Group 4 Central Jersey sectional meet, PHS looked to take a major step as it turned its sights to the state Group meet and a shot at qualifying for the Meet of Champions. “We will focus on what we

can control at this point, you have to trust your training and trust your teammates,” said Shelley. “We will be smart. We don’t talk about winning championsh ips, we tal k about running our race. We will try to pick out competitors who we think will be in good position for us to challenge. It is more to do with teams we haven’t seen.” PHS ended up running its race with aplomb at the group meet, taking fifth and earning a wild card entry to the MOC in the process. “They felt like they won a state title, they were so excited,” said Shelley, noting that it was the first time that the PHS boys’ team had qualified for the MOC since 1986. “This is a historic season. PHS has never done anything close to this, averaging 16:56. I think it is the first PHS team to ever average under 17:00 there. It has been a special season and yesterday was as excited as I have been athletically in a long time.” In S helley’s v iew, t he squad’s excitement about the sport and each other made the difference. “The guys really, really love each other, they pull for each other, ” said Shelley, whose team ended up in 10th place in the MOC. “They love running, they love what they do. It is a good blend of personalities and leadership.” Shelley’s spirited leadership in helping the program make history earns him the nod as the top coach of a male team. —Bill Alden

While the Princeton High boys’ hockey team has suffered some heavy graduation losses, saying goodbye to eight seniors from last year, the formula for success remains the same. “We can be a team that wins 2-1, 3-2 type of games; we don’t want to be getting into 7-6 games, that is not going to be our bread and butter, that is never Princeton’s style,” said PHS head coach Terence Miller, who guided the Little Tigers to a 10-10-2 record as they advanced to the semifinals of the Mercer County Tournament and made the state Public B tourney. “We are not a team that goes and blows people out but we can be tough in big games. On any given night,

we can go and tangle with the top teams, that is who we are.” PHS features a tough defense, starting with a pair of battle-tested junior defensemen in Tooker Callaway and Eamonn McDonald. “They are really experienced,” said Miller of Callaway and McDonald, who have been star ters since their freshman campaign. “Tooker can just be a rock back there for us; he looked really good the other night in our scrimmage. He has been doing a lot of off-ice stuff, he has been training really hard. Eamonn is savvy, he can get the job done.” Miller believes he has some others who can get the job defensively. “Max

Garlock got a lot of valuable time on defense last year too as a freshman,” said Miller, whose team starts its 201516 season by facing Nottingham on December 3 at Mercer County Park. “We have two freshmen who look like they will be solid blue-liners. Augustine Preziosi looks good and Colin Beatty is a pretty good defenseman.” In goal, junior Saw yer Peck appears poised for a very good year. “Sawyer is further along athletically than he was last year, he has gotten bigger,” said Miller. “We are going to look for him to get into the mode here. It is still early so every one is scratching the rust off. Sawyer has been playing a lot on the offseason so he should be ready.” PHS is looking for big things from junior forward Brendon McCormick, whose older brothers Connor and Patrick were two of the best players in recent program history. “Brendon is a terrific player,” asserted Miller. “He is a good leader. He just quietly goes about his business and handles it. He has been in the trenches; he came in and showed himself to be a really, really good player. He comes from a good lineage.” In Miller’s view, there are a number of players who can help McCormick carry the scoring load. “We do have a lot of guys that can score the puck,” said Miller, whose corps of forwards includes senior Nathan Drezner, senior Matt Cirillo, junior Anthony Trainor, junior Zach Bouchenoir, sophomore Justin Joyce, and sophomore Luke O’Shea along with a pair of freshmen, Nathan Podgalsky and freshman Robbie Trainor. “Hopefully it will be a little more balanced scoring than last year. Some of these guys are younger and newer to the scene here.” If the Little Tigers can get some offensive balance to go along with their stingy defense, they could turn some heads on the local hockey scene. “Last year was more of an up and down type season, it was streaky,” said Miller, whose club lost seven of 10 games going from December into January and then produced a 4-0-1 run on the way to the county semifinals. “This year hopefully we can get more of a consistent effort. We need to be more consistent defensively. Even if we are not scoring loads and loads of goals, we want to be sure that we are relinquishing as few goals as possible. That is really a big key.” —Bill Alden

Emphasizing a More Team-Oriented Style of Play, Hun Boys’ Hockey Sees Another Banner Campaign L a s t w i n te r, t h e H u n School boys’ hockey team went 6-0-1 in its first seven games on the way to producing one of the great seasons in the program’s history as it went 22-3-3, winning both the state Prep title and the Mercer County Tournament crown. Hun started this season by losing to 5-2 to Holy Ghost (Pa.) on November 18, giving graphic evidence that it will have to modify its style to maintain its place among New Jersey’s elite teams. “I think we will have to buy into a team style of play more than we have ever had to, that is not to say we think the guys are selfish or are not team players,” said Hun head coach Ian McNally. “We have been able to get away in the past couple of years with making a mistake here, making a mistake there and having the individual talent, so in the end it didn’t matter. We were still able to produce more than the other team. Playing Holy Ghost was a wake up call because when we made a mistake and gave them a shot, they had high quality chances and they buried them. There was a pretty quick lesson that we can’t run and gun like we have been able to.” While Hun lost standout defensemen Bobby Wurster and Chris Rossi to graduation and superstar forward Evan Barratt to the U.S. National Team Develop ment Program, McNally is welcoming back plenty of

talent. “Everybody is very excited, despite losing a chunk of significant players, we still have a ton of returning players and guys with the chance to move up from JV to varsity,” said McNally. “There weren’t a lot of new faces. It is the same guys, who are ready to go and knowing that there are some spots available.” Star junior forwards Blake Brow n and Jon Bendorf should provide plenty of exciting moments for the Raiders this winter. “Blake led the team in scoring last year and Jon was second, I don’t know if there are a ton of teams that can return their top two scorers so they will be leaned on heavily,” said McNally. “Jon committed to RPI and he got drafted by a USHL team so his trajectory is college. He has gotten accolades that are unusual for players around here. Blake is enthusiastic and it is infectious when he is excited. He has got the motivation and the work ethic and that is half the battle.” Sophomore forward Frank Vitucci was a revelation last winter, joining the Brown/ Bendorf line after Barratt suffered a leg injury that kept him until the Prep tourney. “When it was clear that Evan was not going to play early last year, Frank got first crack at that role as a freshman and never looked b ack,” s a i d M cNa l ly of

Vitucci who scored a goal for Hun in its opening day loss to Holy Ghost. “He got some big goals. We went to that Purple Puck tournament in D.C. and he was named MVP. He could have been the MVP of the prep and county tournaments. Frank is a very evenkeeled guy, he doesn’t get up and down with the game. He goes and does his thing the same way every shift.” McNally believes freshman forward Kyle Mandleur is going to make a big impact for Hun this winter. “Mandleur scored in the Holy Ghost game and you could tell he was excited about that too,” said McNally. “He is the biggest guy on the team so he is a big boy.” The success of the team will depend, in part, on getting production from some key veterans. “This is an all senior and junior team so there are guys who chipped away with help and now are going to have to start scoring regularly and that is Patrick Brake, Justin Grossman, and Kyle Pettoni,” said McNally. “Those guys were our secondary scoring for the last couple of years and, as we saw from the Holy Ghost game, we are going to need some other guys to score the goals we are missing.” On defense, McNally sees junior Tanner Preston as the team’s linchpin. “Tanner has got the ball right now, he will be the w o r k h o r s e i n te r m s of

DIESEL POWER: Hun School boys’ hockey goalie Diesel Pelke makes a save in action last season. Hun will be relying on senior star Pelke to have a big year as it looks to maintain its place among New Jersey’s elite teams after going 22-3-3 last year in winning both the state Prep title and the Mercer County Tournament crown.

We have moved Reed Doerler and Kevin Guns back to defense, they played forward last year so it will be a new look lineup but those guys have played three years of varsity now and they will be just fine.” Senior goalie Diesel Pelke has proven to be better than fine for the Raiders as he joined the program last year

and starred from day one. “Last year he definitely won games for us but it wasn’t like we were going into games thinking I hope Diesel has a big game today,” said McNally. “We were thinking let’s go and score a bunch of goals. This year it will be a chance for him to go win a lot of games for us, not that it is going to be our strategy. It will be more of a necessity and I think he is definitely up to the challenge. Diesel is a fully grown man; we will have to lean on him more than we have in the past.” While Hun’s style might

Going with a youth movement by necessity last winter, the Princeton Day School boy’s hockey team took its lumps. As the proud program endured a 3-16-1 campaign, its younger players were fighting a losing battle on a nightly basis. “Those kids were good hockey players last year,” said PDS head coach Scott Bertoli. “They were put in a position where they were competing against teams, night in, night out that were older and more physical. Those were big challenges and it just didn’t really allow us to have a lot of success.” I n B e r tol i ’s v i e w, h i s younger performers have been steeled by that experience. “When you don’t see a lot of wins and don’t score a lot of goals, you are not leaving the rink feeling good about yourself,” said Bertoli, whose team is slated to start its season by hosting St. Joes’s Prep (Pa.) on December 1, Montclair Kimberly on December 2, and the Hun School on December 7. “If you are an athlete and a competitor, you want to go out and do what you can to personally improve and develop and control what you can control to allow yourself to be a better player and a better contributor the following year. We, as a coaching staff, have noticed a difference in some of the younger kids in terms of their confidence level. Part of that is the work they have done away from the rink, whatever it was, they just seem to have a little more confidence and play a little bigger and a little tougher. Those are things that we need.” Senior forward Connor Fletcher figures to play a very big role for the Panthers this winter. “Connor hasn’t played a hockey game since last February and you get him on skates for a couple of weeks, he will be one of the best players on the ice every time we play,” said Bertoli, noting that Fletcher is a Cornell men’s lacrosse commit. “He is just very athletic, very competitive. He is a tremendous leader and he is someone our young kids can look up to once again this year. He is our only senior. We expect him to be our best player, night in and night out and he will be, there is no question about it.” Bertoli is expecting a lot from sophomore forward Tyler Coffey, who was sidelined for most of last winter. “Coffey was injured all last year, he played three games,” said Bertoli. “Here is a kid who has been a proven scorer at whatever

level he has played at. He has played Tier 1 hockey for the last six or seven years. I envision him playing the majority of the year with Fletcher and he is a guy we are going to count on to produce in the 5-on-5, the power play, the 4-on-4, and the penalty kill. He can put it in the back of the net. He is talented and he is very competitive. He is not the tallest kid but he plays with an edge, he can win those puck battles.” In order to get back in the winning track, the Panthers are going to need some scoring balance. “Our success is going to weigh heavily on our ability to get secondary scoring,” said Bertoli. “If you can get match ups, you can neutralize the Fletcher and the Coffey line and most teams are going to focus on that matchup so it is going to fall on our second and third lines to produce.” That group will include junior Keith Asplundh, sophomore Ryan Lisk, sophomore Russell Freidman, junior Jack Mascali, and freshman Coby Auslander. “Asplundh played bigger minutes in key situations last year, I expect much of the same from him,” said Bertoli. “Guys like Ryan Lisk, Russell Freidman, and Jack Mascali need to step up. Cody Auslander is a freshman and he is a tough kid. He plays hard, he plays the same way he does on the soccer field. He is tenacious. He likes to get after it and he has an edge to his game. I think it will really help.” Along the blue line, junior Gianluca Travia should provide some toughness for the Panthers. “Travia is our most experienced defenseman, he is a kid with confidence and understanding,” said Bertoli. “He is the elder statesman of that group and he can take ownership of that group and run with it. He can be a really effective player. Sophomores Eric Sherman and Nic Petruolo have gained a lot of confidence since last year.

“He has some really talented kids on the line after him with Sherman and Petruolo,” added Bertoli, noting that sophomore newcomer Brian Frister will also help shore up the Panther defense. “They are kids that can really control the game offensively. When we get them to be complete players at both ends of the rink, they are going to be a really dynamic duo. They are playing together right now and expect them to control the tempo and get involved offensively and produce.” Three-year starting junior goalie Logan Kramsky has proven he can control games with his skill and composure. “Logan is looking unbelievable to this point,” said Bertoli. “He is like Connor Walker in that they are competitive. They have a really nice way about them in terms of being level headed and not getting too high or too low — both aren’t the tallest goalies but just athletic with recovery on second or third opportunities. They get the pucks that you, as a coach, just turn your head and think it is already in the back of the net. Not too many pucks are going to beat him. Our group feels really good and confident with him being in the pipes for us. I think him being and playing at a high level will be critical to our success. I am very confident that he will give us that.” Getting off to a good start will be critical as PDS looks to reverse its fortunes from last winter. “So much of it is going to play itself out early on; I think it is important for us to experience some success early on and feel good about ourselves,” said Bertoli. “If we can get a couple of good performances early, we will feel good about what we are doing as a team. Our assets are our speed and our skill and I think we will get after it and play in the offensive zone and generate opportunities. If we go out and play hard and play the right way, I like our chances.” —Bill Alden

After Taking Lumps in Tough Season Last Winter, PDS Boys’ Hockey Ready to Resume Winning Ways

Invigorated by Adding a Bevy of New Faces, PDS Girls’ Hockey Ready for Exciting Season As preseason practice began for the Princeton Day School girls’ ice hockey team last month, head coach Lorna Cook may have felt like she needed a program to identify her players. There were only five returners among the 19 players who hit the ice for the Panthers with eight freshmen, four sophomore newcomers, and two new juniors. Cook has enjoyed welcoming her new charges to the program. “It has been a lot of fun; it has been a different approach for me as far

as making sure that a lot of the new players are able to get their fundamentals and learn the game a little better,” said Cook, who guided the Panthers to a 9-12-2 record last winter and the ‘A’ bracket at the WIHLMA ( Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the MidAtlantic) tournament. “The advantage of it with more skaters is bringing a freshness to the team; it has been really great. I think that it is coming along, we are just trying to create a solid foundation right now. What we typically do in practice is start out together with drills and then we split and do skill stuff and then come back together again.” The return of highly skilled junior star goalie Annika Asplundh gives the PDS defense a solid foundation. “Annika looks great; she keeps getting better each year she comes to the team,” said Cook, whose team was slated to open its 2015-16 season by playing at Wyoming Seminar y ( Pa.) on December 1 before hosting Portledge School (N.Y. ) on December 3 and Summit High on December 7. “She is stronger. We will count on her to keep us in a lot of games and she just gives confidence to everybody. We have got some new defensemen this year and she is really helping them out.” Asplundh is also helping out freshman backup Maddie Birch. “They seem to be getting along really well and we are letting them have their goalie thing, making sure that they are supporting each other,” said Cook. “Maddie looks good; she has got good size. She is very athletic and has excelled at other sports for a while. Now she is playing some travel hockey as well which has made a big difference.” One of the squad’s top athletes is junior defenseman

Kristi Serafin. “The juniors are providing leadership and we are going to count on her to lead the defense,” said Cook. “She is one of our top players.” The corps of defensemen includes three promising newcomers in f resh men Madison McCaw, Val Radvany, and Sasha Sindhwani. “We have had three standout athletes from the fall season who also have hockey experience,” said Cook, noting that McCaw starred in soccer while Radvany and Sindhwani are field hockey standouts. “T he best thing about them is their aggressiveness, they are not shy. They were blocking shots in our scrimmages, they were rushing the puck, they were pinching on the blue line. The big thing for us is that we are trying to make sure that they are being decisive. We want to see them try to make a play and if they get beat because they were being too aggressive, we will talk to them afterward.” At forward, the Panthers will look to a pair of juniors, Ashley Cavuto and Kiely French, along with sophomore Emma Latham to lead the way. “We have a pretty good forward core, Ashley and Kiely are the two junior returners,” said Cook. That core has been augmented by a promising group of newcomers in sophomore Sam Dwyer, freshman Julie Patterson, sophomore Madison Mundenar, sophomore Palmer White, junior Allison Klei, and junior Julie David along with freshmen Gwen Allen, Bryn Aprill, and Flynn Gorman. “We have some really good freshmen and sopho-

mores who have come in,” said Cook. “Sam Dwyer is going to be a center for us, she is a really smart player. The big thing with her is getting her to find that balance between being smart but also getting her legs moving and creating opportunities. She is going to be good at center and both Julies (David and Patterson) will play on the wing.” In Cook’s view, the team needs to build a good chemistry as it looks to get everyone on the same page. “Really the focus for us has been on the team as a whole, we don’t have any seniors this year so we have really been relying on our juniors to provide that leadership,” said Cook, whose four returning juniors are Asplundh, Serafin, Cavuto, and French with newcomers Klei and David. “They have done a really good job. What we are doing right now is making sure that they are doing everything they can to have a cohesiveness with the group. We want to make sure that everybody stays together, plays together, and plays for each other. That is what we think we have gotten so far with these new players, they are very vocal on the bench and during practice helping each other. We want to see that continue and have even more of that.” On the ice, Cook is looking for her players to focus on the basics. “Being able to execute when we need to is a key,” said Cook. “Our power play has looked really good so far, there is a lot of potential there. We need people to finish opportunities when we get them. We have been working on playing smart defensively as far as shifting pucks and moving feet, that has been an emphasis.” —Bill Alden

Obituaries

Enid H. Campbell Enid H. Campbell, PhD, died peacefully in her sleep at the University Medical Center of Princeton, on November 22, 2015, due to complications from a fall. She was 88. Enid was a psychologist with a private practice in Princeton for many years, and a longtime professor and depar tment chair at Trenton State College (now TCNJ). Née Enid Margaret Hobart, Enid was born and raised in Canada following the emigration of her parents from England in the 1920s. Her father, John H. Hobart, was a pharmacist who also played semi-professional hockey, and her mother, Enid (née Jones) was a primary school teacher who studied with Maria Montessori. Shortly after Enid’s birth the family settled in Montreal where the family was part of the tight-

knit English community. The family was active in the Religious Society of Friends and the amateur theater with an emphasis on Shakespeare. She left Canada to attend Swarthmore College in the United States, where she studied psychology and was active in the Quaker Meeting. She was briefly married to a fellow Quaker in support of his pacifist beliefs and resistance to the draft. Following her graduation in 1948, Enid attended Bryn Mawr and then Yale, earning a PhD in clinical psychology. At Yale, Enid met her future husband, Byron A. Campbell and the two were married in June of 1954. Byron became a professor in the psychology department at Princeton University and Enid chose to accompany him to Princeton. She quickly became a professor at Trenton State College where she taught child and general psychology. Her desire to improve people’s lives led her to become a licensed psychotherapist and she cared for numerous patients in downtown Princeton. She worked at these two professions for most of her adult life. With family and friends, she travelled widely in Europe and North America, and visited New Zealand, mainland China, and Alaska. To keep fit, Enid enjoyed swimming, recreational tennis, table tennis, and skiing. In her later years Enid suffered from dementia but she always enjoyed spending time with her family. Enid was a woman ahead of her times, deftly finding happiness and fulfillment in both

her work and family life. She is survived by Byron, her husband of 62 years. She is also survived by her son Ian of Whiterock, New Mexico; and her daughter Andrea Sacchetti of Princeton along with Andrea’s husband Raymond; and grandchildren Thomas Sacchetti, and Adam Frary, along with Adam’s wife Becky, and also granddaughter Simone. In addition, she is survived by her brother John Hobart and his wife Joan; and her nieces Ann and Elizabeth; and nephews John, Ted, and Bill. A celebration of her life is planned for Sunday, December 6, in Princeton. For details please contact Andrea at yogacalling@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her name can be made to The Swarthmore Fund or The Br yn Mawr Fund. ———

Tatyana Kaplan D r. Ta t y a n a K a p l a n ( Morgens ter n ) , M D, 91, of Princeton, New Jersey died November 13, 2015 at Princeton Care Center. Born in Gomel, Belarus, she was a resident of Princeton since 1992. Prior to moving to the United States, she graduated from one of the top Russian medical schools and had a successful career as a cardiologist, family doctor, and vice president of a large hospital in a suburb of Moscow, Russia. During her life she helped many people — starting when she was 17-yearsold by saving children at summer camp on the first day of the Nazi bombing of the Soviet Union, then during her professional career as a doctor, and even after retirement. After moving to the United States she was able to focus on her other great passion — her family. She was a big music lover — both classical and jazz — and enjoyed attending concerts at Westminster to listen to her daughter play classical piano, and at Princeton High School — to see her grandsons play jazz-piano. She was always reading different books, and in between liked to play cards and spoil her family and friends with delicious cooking. Daughter of the late Girsh and Sarah Bella (Sheinfogel) Morgenstern; sister of the late Michael Morgenstern; grandmother of the late Julia Briskin; she is survived by her sister Lilia Belov from Princeton; daughter Sophia Kulkova and her husband Alexander from Russia; daughter Galina Prilutskaya and her husband Arkadiy from Princeton; and two grandchildren Yuriy Prilutskiy and his wife Susannah from New York; and Leonid Prilutskiy from Princeton. A memorial service was held on November 23, 2015 at The Mather-Hodge Funeral Home, in Princeton, followed by burial at Princeton Cemetery. The family suggests that memorial contributions in

honor of Tatyana Kaplan be sent to Westminster Conservatory of Music at Rider University, 101 Walnut Lane, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Religion “Living Together Separately” Explores Jewish-Arab Relations

Dr. Erez Tzfadia, the Israel Institute Visiting Scholar at Rutgers, offers a broader understanding of Arab-Israeli relations in Israel by looking at Israel’s “mixed cities” — cities such as Haifa, Lod, and Tel Aviv-Jaffa, which are populated by both Arabs and Jews. The talk, “Living Together Separately: Israel’s Jewish-Arab City,” will be held on Thursday, December 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Douglass Campus Center, 100 George Street, New Brunswick. Sponsored by the Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University, the lecture is free and open to the public. In this lecture, Tzfadia will explore how residents of mixed cities develop distinctive local cultures that challenge national perceptions, and how internal social tensions may be compounded by external developments that lead to violence. Tzfadia, chair of the Department of Public Policy and Administration at Sapir College in Israel, is a visiting scholar at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research during the fall semester and at the Bildner Center and the Depart-

ment of Jewish Studies for the spring semester, where he will teach the course “Modern Israeli Culture.” Tzfadia coauthored Rethinking Israeli Space and Israel Since 1980, and he coedited a volume of essays on social policy in Israel since the mid-1980s (in Hebrew). His research interests include the politics of space, militarization and spatial policy, ultra-Orthodox communities in development towns, and the privatization of space. The Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life connects Rutgers University with the greater community through public lectures, symposia, Jewish communal initiatives, cultural events, and teacher training.

Clubs Gotham Princeton Business Networking Luncheon and Lecture on Friday, December 4 at 12:30 p.m. at Mediterra Restaurant, Princeton. The cost to attend is $35, which includes a 3-course meal.

CARBON MONOXIDE SAFETY Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas. It has no odor. CO gas is poisonous. It can make a person feel sick and can be deadly. In the home, heating and cooking devices that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide.

FACT! CO is called the invisible killer because the gas cannot be seen or smelled. Take action to stay safe from CO poisoning. For tips on CO alarms and ways to prevent CO poisoning, presented by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), visit my website or facebook page
