Senior Living Complex Proposed for Harrison Street Spurs Fire Safety Concerns

During the public comment period at Princeton Council’s meeting on September 11, the issue of fire safety was raised by two residents of the town. Paul Driscoll and Alexi Assmus asked Council to consider making round-the-clock fire watches a requirement during construction of large-scale, wood housing. Their request was motivated by the recent announcement that Sunrise Senior Living wants to construct a 76-unit development on North Harrison Street, near Princeton Shopping Center. The plans call for a two-story building with 52 units, and a one-story building with 25. It is during the construction phase of such projects, before sprinklers are installed, that fires frequently happen, Assmus and Driscoll told the governing body. And they offered some statistics to back it up. Continued on Page 8

Vigil Shows Support for Imprisoned Student About 200 professors, colleagues, friends, their families, and other supporters gathered in Princeton University’s East Pyne Courtyard Friday evening to hold a candlelight vigil in support of Xiyue Wang, a graduate student who has been imprisoned in Iran for the past 13 months. Speakers, who included Wang’s wife, two of his professors, and several of his colleagues and friends, focused mostly on Wang’s qualities as a person, a scholar, a husband, and father to a 4-year-old son. Those closest to Wang, 37, described him as a talented, ambitious, dedicated scholar, full of intellectual curiosity and interest in Iranian culture, a steadfast friend and a loving family man with a distinct flair for cooking. There was also a call, sounded most directly by his wife, for the United States to work with the international community to bring pressure on Iran to release Wang and other political prisoners.

“My husband was persecuted for his scholarship and criminalized for his American citizenship,” said Hua Qu, Wang’s wife. “America is my husband’s adopted homeland. He chose to study and work here. Will this country stand up for him the way he stood up for American values? I hope the answer is a resounding ‘Yes.’” Relations with Iran are on President Trump’s agenda this week at the United Nations in New York, with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif both in attendance, and Trump is expected to raise the issue of American hostages, along with concerns about the nuclear agreement, Iranian military action in the Middle East, and human rights abuses. “It is time for the regime to free all Americans and citizens of other nations that they have unjustly detained,” Trump said in his speech to the General Assembly Tuesday. In July, after Iran announced Wang’s

10-year sentence for espionage, the White House issued a statement that Trump and the administration were “redoubling efforts to bring home all Americans unjustly detained abroad.” The statement concluded, “President Trump is prepared to impose new and serious consequences on Iran unless all Continued on Page 23

ook great and feel great this fall. The chill of the autumn season brings sweaters and knits close to your skin. A great-fitting bra makes any outfit look better. Looking good also means feeling good. “It all relates back to whether a woman is comfortable,” says Karen Thompson, founder of Lace Silhouettes, which has three area locations. With this in mind she has created a comfortable shopping environment that feels like a home. Lace Silhouettes carries sizes 30A-44H in whatever style the season or event warrants—everyday bras, full coverage bras, demi bras, and sports bras—all from the top industry manufacturers. Lace Silhouettes carries apparel from more than 150 brands, including Wacoal, Natori, Chantelle, Mary Jo, Prima Donna, Wolford, Cosabella and Hanky Panky.

They also offer professional fittings with a Bra Therapist to help each woman find the right fit for her body. All fittings are complimentary and can take as little as 15 minutes. According to Thompson, eight out of ten women are wearing the wrong-sized bra. “Many women believe that you cannot have support without underwire, but there are no-underwire bras which use different techniques to achieve similar support.” Selecting the best bra style for her individual body type will ensure a woman always has the right bra to help her look fabulous regardless of the season.

“Stay Healthy” Is the Theme At Plainsboro Library Series

On Sunday, September 17, at the Plainsboro Public Library, Jersey Physical Therapy co-owner Marc Rubenstein held the first of five free community

seminars aimed at helping people make positive and sustainable health changes. The seminar, part of his new LiveWell Lecture series, was entitled “Move,” and stressed the importance of staying active daily. Future seminar dates will be October 1 and 29, November 19, and December 3. In addition to stressing the importance of physical activity, Rubenstein will discuss the importance of good nutrition, sleep, resiliency, and social interaction. Rubenstein recently experienced a health scare that revolutionized his approach to medicine. He now advocates physical therapy to prevent injury or chronic diseases before they hap-

pen, rather than to treat them after they occur. “The type of approach I’ll be taking with Jersey LiveWell is one that combines movement and the musculoskeletal system with an emphasis on promoting a healthy lifestyle,” he said. Last spring, Rubenstein became certified as part of the Academy of Prevention and Health Promotion (APHPT). “It focuses on true health care, not sick care,” he said. “It’s about, ‘How do we keep our populations healthy?’ “ The Plainsboro Public Library is at 9 Van Doren Street.

SHARING HIS STORY: Chef Jeff Henderson, left, shown with the Trenton Rescue Mission’s chef David Jawidzik, paid a visit to the Mission last week and gave an inspirational talk to clients about his road from prison to celebrity chef, author, and motivational speaker.

From a Life of Crime To Fame: Chef Jeff Speaks at Rescue Mission

It would be an understatement to say that Jeff Henderson had a challenging childhood in South Central Los Angeles. Raised in poverty by a single mother, he learned to make money — eventually, some $35,000 a week — selling cocaine and

crack. It all caught up with him when, at the age of 23, he was arrested and sent to federal prison for drug trafficking.

TOPICS Of the Town Fast forward a few decades, and Henderson, now known as Chef Jeff, has ser ved as executive chef at several high-end restaurants. He has written a few books, appeared on Oprah, and started his own reality show series called The Chef Jeff Project. Most significantly to him, he is a motivational speaker who spends more time than his wife and five children would like making appearances across the country, inspiring those with similar back stories to transform their lives. A recent stop was Trenton’s Rescue Mission. Last Friday, Henderson gave a spirited account of his rise from a life of crime to a successful career, challenging clients — many former prisoners like him — to overcome their circumstances. “I’m 53, and 30 years criminal-free,” Henderson told the rapt audience. “None of us was born criminal. We came out of our mothers’ wombs with a clean slate. But when you don’t have value systems, you don’t have freedom.” Henderson took no fee for his appearance at the Rescue Mission. The organization serves those in need of food and shelter, many of whom struggle with addiction, and it is just the kind of place he likes to visit. “I was in a shelter for abused and battered women and children yesterday, so I go to these places quite often,” he said during a telephone interview before his appearance last week. “I’m looking forward to it.” Henderson has recounted his story countless times, but there was no trace of boredom in his voice during the telephone conversation. It was behind bars, he said, that he came to recognize his talents. “When you grow up in poverty and a broken home and dysfunctional family, without middle class values, you make a lot of poor choices,” he said. “Sometimes they are born out of circumstances. Not

being exposed to careers, art, museums, and books, I never discovered my gift until was in prison.” That recognition came in the prison kitchen. Punished one day for an infraction, Henderson was sent to potand-pan detail. Right away, he recognized an opportunity. “I love food. I was a hungry little boy and a hungry man,” he said. “I realized, first of all, that the guys working there got the extra food. I said, ‘Wow, this isn’t a punishment.’ Because food is one of the most important things to a person in prison, or the homeless. They started teaching me things. Continued on Next Page

I loved the craft. I loved the art. It was a fast-paced kitchen. Before you knew it, I was head cook. And it was my salvation. I was finally doing something in my life that people praised me for, that was legitimate and legal.” Told he would never get a job because he was a convicted felon, Henderson studied the marketing experts and financial types who were his fellow prisoners. He knew he had “the gift of gab,” he said. He took a Toastmasters course. He discovered the library. “I read my first book in prison,” he said. “I had never been to a library in my life before then.” After serving 10 years, Henderson managed to land a job at Cafe Bellagio in Las Vegas, eventually becoming executive chef. He was the first African American executive chef at Caesar’s Palace. His memoir, Cooked, has been out for a decade. “It’s legendary in most prisons and jails in this country,” he said. “I don’t look like I used to. I don’t talk like did, or walk like I did. All of that is in the book. I can switch back to the old language when I want to.” That much was evident during the Rescue Mission talk. Wearing his white chef’s jacket and trademark black framed glasses, Henderson paced back and forth with a microphone in hand — not that he needed one — and lapsed into street talk as he told of his transformation. The audience responded with enthusiasm. “It was great for me to

hear,” said Mike B., a Rescue Mission client. “It’s not that common to see that kind of success come from where he came from.” Another client, John K., said, “It was inspirational and really hit home because I went down that same road. I was once successful and his presentation made me look in the mirror and see what I can be again. It helped me believe that I can get myself back.” Following the talk, Henderson joined the audience in a meal prepared by the Rescue Mission’s kitchen. He made a point to talk oneon-one to as many people as he could. Mary Gay AbbottYoung, the Mission’s chief executive officer, saw the effect Henderson had on her clients. “When you have someone with such an incredible life experience that parallels the life of those we serve at the Rescue Mission delivering a message of personal responsibility on finding your gift and using that gift …. It’s very impactful,” she said. —Anne Levin

When Princeton Senior Resource Center ( PSRC ) sends a volunteer to help a homebound elderly or disabled member of the community, they don’t choose just anybody. Participants in PSRC’s HomeFr iends program, which is celebrating its 30th anniversar y this year, are matched with clients for similar interests, personalities, and needs. “ T h e r e w a s a wom a n who had gone blind, and had worked for many years in the state department,” rec alle d Dave Rous s ell, PSRC’s HomeFriends coordinator and home care coordinator. “In her job, she had learned French. So she asked us to hook her up with someone who spoke French. I did find someone who was fluent, and it worked out really well.” Barbara Purnell, a founder of the program, recalls a former Princeton University history professor who had endured a series of tragedies, including a disabling stroke. Like her husband, the man was a graduate of Johns Hopkins University. “I decided I was going to recruit my husband to be his volunteer,” she said. “And they developed a nice relationship. Unfortunately, he had another stroke and didn’t live much longer. But he was a fascinating guy with virtually no one left in his life, and he always sticks in my head.” Keeping people from becoming socially isolated is the main goal of HomeFriends, which Ms. Purnell co-founded after moving to Princeton from Montclair three decades ago. It is just one of the ser vices provided by PSRC, which will hold its annual fundraiser on Sunday, September 24 at Princeton High School Performing Arts Center. The improvisation and sketch comedy troupe The Second City will perform at 4 p.m. Tickets are still available starting at $38; VIP tickets including a reception with the cast are $150. Visit princetonsenior.org for

information. Volu nte er s for H om e Friends range from graduate students to senior citizens active in the PSRC. Currently, about 13 clients are enrolled. “Some volunteers are students; some are older and still in the work force,” Roussel said. “Others are retired and want to do a little give-back.” In addition to providing companionship, the onceweekly visitors do modest tasks like grocery shopping, reading the mail, sorting photos, or taking a client to hear a lecture. They are not intended to replace home care assistance, which requires professional training in memory loss and personal care. The friendships that develop can be meaningful not just for the client, but for the volunteer as well. “I love watching the developing relationships,” said PSRC Executive Director Susan Hoskins. “People [volunteers] have told me about how much it means to visit with their children so they can get to know an older adult and learn about volunteering. The older adults tell me what a breath of fresh air it is to know they have a weekly visitor. We love this program because it helps people age in place, and stay in their own homes. Many of them can do many things for themselves, but have a few challenges like not driving, or mobility. HomeFriends is also a wonderful opportunity for someone, or a family, to give back to the community by helping an older adult.” Purnell co-founded the program with Joce Helm and Sue Tillett, modeling it on a program Purnell had run in Montclair. “I had been working with the elderly, and when we moved here I met the then-director of PSRC,” she said. “They wanted to start a program like the one I had been running in North Jersey. We applied to United Way for a grant for start-up programs, got one, and were on our way.” While the program Purnell had headed in Montclair

also included “telephone reassurance,” she said, the Princeton initiative has been focused on home visits. “It was mostly about conversation and social interaction. For somebody who is homebound, there is a real need for that.” Purnell ran the program for a few years before turning it over to others, but has maintained a close relationship with PSRC. “There aren’t other programs like HomeFriends around here that I know of,” she said. “There is still such a need for it.” —Anne Levin

Fire Safety Concerns continued from page one

“There have been so many construction fires recently,” Assmus said a few days after the meeting. “In Maplewood this past February; in Waltham, Kansas City, Oakland, Raleigh, and many other places, there have been these fires that spread and damaged buildings nearby.” A partial list on the Facebook site “Massive Fires Damage Lives” identifies 34 across the country. Assmus, Driscoll, and fellow citizens Kip Cherry and Grace Sinden are among those who have been working on the issue for months, along with architects and attorneys who don’t want to be named, Assmus said. They are seeking changes at the national, state, and municipal levels. The state can legislate that large buildings of lightweight wood construction be limited in size. “We believe that large-scale structures should be built of non-combustible materials, and we support New Jersey

state bill S1632/A3770, which would limit the size of megablock wood housing complexes,” Assmus said. The AvalonBay complex on Witherspoon Street is lightweight wood. The company, which owns rental communities where large fires have occurred in Edgewater and Maplewood, voluntarily upgraded its fire protection systems for the Princeton complex. Other developments in town are of wood construction, but in a different configuration. “We took Merwick Stanworth (Princeton University faculty housing on Bayard Lane) as a model, because it is lightweight wood but the buildings are separated,” Assmus said. “The bill we’re supporting requires that.” While a municipality does not have the ability to regulate the size of a building, it can require a fire watch, to be paid for by developers, while construction is underway. “What we heard at the Council meeting is that they’re a little hesitant to get into it,” Assmus said. “It’s unclear in the current code whether they could.” She added, “We think that given the litigious nature of these corporate developers who build these huge wood apartment complexes, there should be a requirement on the books. Sprinklers aren’t active when they’re building, and that’s a very dangerous time. So there should be a 24-7 fire watch. That’s what we’re asking the town to do.” Asked for comment on the issue this week, Mayor Liz Lempert said, “We feel that our current ordinances give our officials the necessary tools and flexibility to require safety precautions during construction. I support the group’s efforts to strengthen the state code regulating large lightweight construction to improve fire safety.” Those in favor of the requirement hope to persuade Mayor Lempert and Council otherwise. Assmus said the group plans to meet with others in town who are concerned about fire safety. “We want to meet with government people, too, and explain to them why we think it’s wise to have this,” she said. “We’re reaching out to people we know who work in municipal matters, and informing them about it. And we will continue to work for changes at the state and national levels as well.” —Anne Levin

Sustainable Princeton Needs Greater Funding From the Community Than It Has Yet Received

Proposed Unit for Senior Community Should Be Built to Highest Possible Fire Safety Standards

To the Editor: According to a Town Topics article on page 8 dated August 23, a 76-unit senior community has been proposed at a site near the Princeton Shopping Center at the corner of Harrison Street and Terhune Road. As longtime residents of Princeton, we welcome the application for a much needed community for seniors in our town. That said, it would also be reassuring to know that future residents will be safe in a complex which is built to the highest possible fire safety standards. Assuming the application is accepted, we believe it would be prudent for Council to request that the developer build the units to incorporate masonry fire walls through the roof. Equally important, they should also include an upgraded sprinkler system which complies with NFPA 13 standards requiring that sprinklers be installed in concealed combustible spaces. This is not required under NFPA 13R, the current acceptable standard for residential complexes. We know that recently some New Jersey developers have voluntarily agreed to meet similar upgraded safety measures for some of their projects. Some have argued that extra fire safety precautions in construction of multi-residential buildings are not necessary and that building to state code is sufficient. Actually, existing codes are minimum standards and upgrades by developers do not occur often enough. And we have seen from the recent massive fire in Edgewater, New Jersey (Jan. 2015) that building to state code did not prevent that conflagration from happening. Nor did building to state code in Georgia manage to stop the fire which burned over 70 units of the marshall Square Community (June 2015) in Evans, Georgia, even though these buildings were rigorously inspected. That fire forced 80 senior residents to evacuate their homes, many in pajamas and using walkers or wheelchairs. From a safe distance, they could only sit back and watch as their homes and all of their belongings were destroyed. One woman, age 91, died in the fire and another 81-year-old woman was rescued after seven hours, being pulled from burning rubble. The proposal of the senior complex in Princeton is for elderly residents who may be spending the last years and months of their lives at this location. They may be disabled or less mobile and therefore should be living in an environment which is completely safe for them. Community residents, who may have family members or friends living at this facility and ultimately may be living there as well, will want to know that their complex is built to the best fire-safety standards. These measures for the new senior complex should be viewed as a worthwhile investment in protecting our senior citizens for many years to come.

The “mommy makeover”

Board certified plastic surgeon Arthur Perry, MD, FACS Pregnancy takes a toll on women’s bodies, stretching the mom’s tummy outward and causing the breasts to droop. The mommy makeover combines a tummy tuck with either a breast lift or augmentation. Tummy tucks fix the outward belly pouching and remove stretch marks and extra skin in about 3-4 hours. Appearance, exercise tolerance, and posture are improved after surgery. Also during pregnancy, breasts grow rapidly but after delivery, they shrink and droop. A lift, with or without an implant can restore a beautiful appearance to the breasts. These procedures take 2-4 hours to perform. The mommy makeover combines both procedures in a single 6 hour procedure. While usually uneventful, the complication rate is significantly higher when both procedures are performed together. Those complications include bleeding, blood clots, and even deaths. My attitude is “safety first”. For this reason, I don’t think the mommy makeover is appropriate. A safer approach is to have two separate shorter procedures separated by a few months.

Russian Revolution Live at the Library

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, Live at the Library hosts Yuri Slezkine and Simon Morrison in Conversation about Mr. Slezkine’s book The House of Government: A Saga of the Russian Revolution (Princeton Univ. Press $39.95) on Wednesday, September 27, at 7 p.m. The event is cosponsored by the Princeton Public Library and Princeton University’s Council for the Humanities. The House of Government has been hailed as a “A Soviet War and Peace” by Sheila Fitzpatrick in the London Review of Books. According to the New York Times Book Review, “This panoramic history plotted as an epic family tragedy describes the lives of Bolshevik revolutionaries who were swallowed up by the cause they believed in. The story is as intricate as any Russian novel, and the chapters on

the Stalinist Terror are the most vivid.” Completed in 1931, the House of Government, later known as the House on the Embankment, was located across the Moscow River from the Kremlin. It combined 505 furnished apartments with public spaces that included ever y thing from a movie theater and a library to a tennis court and a shooting range. Slezkine’s book tells the story of how the building’s residents lived in their apartments and ruled the Soviet state until some eight hundred of them were evicted from the House and led, one by one, to prison or their deaths. Yuri Lvovich Slezkine is a Russian-born American historian, writer, and translator. A professor of Russian history and Director of the Institute of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies at UC Berkeley, he is best known as the author of the book The Jewish Century. Simon Morrison is professor of Music at Princeton University and the author of many books including, most recently, Bolshoi Confidential: Secrets of the Russian Ballet from the Rule of the Tsar until Today.

Fall Festival

“Same Moon” Exhibit at D&R Greenway

D & R G r e e nw ay L a n d Trust’s newest exhibition, “Same Moon: Diverse Voices of Nature,” shows how artists, whether in China, Africa, or the U.S., view nature through divergent lenses. Artists Kenneth J. Lewis Sr., Nancie Gunkelman, and Chih Yu Fan are unified in their appreciation for nature. Some of the artwork for this exhibition has been shipped from China. A reception will be held on Friday, September 29, from 5 :30 -7:30 p.m. at D & R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton. “In today’s world, where global information and issues are in front of us every day, it’s important that we learn to look for the common values we share rather than our differences,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead. “These three very different artists from diverse parts of the globe remind us

It was not until he retired as a well-published professor of advertising and an inductee in the Advertising Hall of Fame from the Taiwan Advertising Society that he finally had the chance to pursue his passion. In 2011, his wife of more than 60 years passed away. With the sudden loss of his life partner, painting has helped him to cope with the emptiness, and has been his outlet for healing. Fan is inspired by nature’s beauty and tranquility and memories of his village. Nancie Gunkelman has lived and worked in Africa, first as a Peace Corps volunteer doing medical illustration for the Nairobi Medical Training Center, and later working for nonprofits in health education. She has based her “Africa Nostalgia Series” on experiences abroad. During her son’s recent Peace Corps service in West Africa, she was reignited with the desire to depict scenes from the developing world, albeit in an abstract way. To RSVP for the September 29 reception, call (609) 9244646 or visit rsvp@drgreenway.org.

that caring about nature is a value that belongs to all of us.” “The artists in this exhibit evoke nature in three very different styles, showing how a common love of land can be celebrated in myriad ways, from Chinese calligraphy to photorealistic painting to large-scale abstracts,” says Curator Diana Moore. Kenneth J. Lewis Sr. is a self-instructed artist who began painting on canvas at the age of 47. On New Year’s Day 2008, he painted his very first piece, and called it Contemplation. He quickly learned he had a latent gift that he saw more as a hobby from 2008 until the death of his mother in 2012. Lewis’ mother could draw, yet she never attempted to embrace or further explore her talent. He knew that he had to create not only for himself, but also for his late mother, and for generations that follow. Since discovering his passion, Lewis has had a prolific output. Fascinated with Chinese painting and calligraphy, Chih Yu Fan was not able to practice art as a poor boy living in a small village in the northeastern part of China.

Chapter Two

THEATER REVIEW

A Widowed Writer Marries a Divorced Actress in “Chapter Two”; Pegasus Theatre Project Presents Neil Simon’s Poignant Comedy

egasus Theatre Project is presenting Chapter Two at the West Windsor Arts Center. In Neil Simon’s bittersweet romantic comedy, a widowed novelist begins a relationship with a divorced actress. The match is facilitated and encouraged by the novelist’s brother and the actress’s friend. Simon’s autobiographical script is more somber than some may expect of this playwright. However, witty dialogue is still in abundance, and it is given impeccable delivery by a talented cast. George Schneider is an author who is mourning the loss of his wife, whose photograph is an immediate focal point of his New York apartment. He has just returned from a trip to Europe, and both his life and apartment are in disarray. George’s younger brother Leo, a press agent, wants George to find another woman; unfortunately, Leo has introduced George to women who would not have been a good match. Similarly, actress Jennie Malone has been recently divorced from her husband, a football player. Like George, she has just returned from a trip, but her life and home are organized in careful detail. Her friend Faye Medwick, another actress, encourages her to start dating again. When Jennie responds that she does not want to date yet, Faye retorts, “Neither does George Schneider. At least you have something in common.” Intending to call someone else, George accidentally dials Jennie’s number. After a series of awkward phone calls that progress from cordial to friendly, George and Jennie decide to meet — if only to silence Leo and Faye. George and Jennie fall in love, and — to the astonishment of Faye and Leo — decide to get married despite having met quite recently. Leo warns Jennie that George is still mourning the loss of his first wife. Faye, too, is concerned that the relationship is moving too quickly; however, she asks permission to use Jennie’s apartment. When George and Jennie return from their honeymoon, the mood is sour. His grief has resurfaced, and Jennie’s attempts to console him are met with verbal assaults. To get away from George, Jennie returns to her apartment; there she discovers that Faye

and Leo — both of whom are unhappily married — are having an affair. Like Broadway Bound, which was inspired by the early stages of Simon’s career, Chapter Two is semi-autobiographical. George is a surrogate for the playwright, whose marriage to actress Marsha Mason was complicated by his grief over the loss of his first wife, Joan Baim. Mason portrayed Jennie in the 1979 film. The costumes by Chrissy Johnson evoke the period, recalling fashion trends such as prints and wide collars. Careful attention has been paid to the characters’ complete appearance, including hairstyles. Well-chosen musical excerpts, which include recordings by the Carpenters, further establish the late 1970s setting. The economical but detailed sets by Judi Parrish establish the personalities of George and Jennie. Jennie’s apartment, filled with plants, is bright and cheerful; George’s is darker and more subdued, though paintings decorate the walls of both apartments — particularly appropriate given that the venue is a gallery. The apartments are configured as mirror images, with their doors on opposite ends of the stage.

Of the set design, director Jennifer Nasta Zefutie has observed that “whereas the traditional design for Chapter Two is to draw a line down the center of the stage and put each apartment on either side, we’re able to build two stages so each apartment is its own, self-contained playing space.” This underlines the extent to which George and Jennie need to inhabit their own space before they can share it. This production’s quartet of actors exudes strong chemistry, deftly choreographed movement, and nimble comic timing. Zefutie’s polished direction makes effective use of Parrish’s dual set, juxtaposing the characters in lively tableaux. To George, Peter Bisgaier brings much of the tension that permeated his portrayal of Marc in Art, the previous Pegasus production. Bisgaier is an actor with commanding stage presence. As with the earlier play, he portrays a character who is often vociferous and combative. Here, however, his deliberately nervous body language underlines that much of George’s conflict is with himself. This is complemented by Heather

Left to right: Leo Schneider (Frank Falisi, standing) and Faye Medwick (Sarah Stryker, standing) attempt to make — then stall — a match between (Photo by John M. Maurer) George Schneider (Peter Bisgaier) and Jennie Malone (Heather Plank). Presented by the Pegasus Theatre Project, “Chapter Two” will play at the West Windsor Arts Center, 952 Alexander Road in Princeton Junction, through September 24.

Plank, who gives an equally layered performance. Her Jennie is a nurturing, calming influence — but this conceals inner strength that surfaces when it is needed. It is heartrending but satisfying to watch her react when Jennie is on the defensive. As Leo, Frank Falisi offers a relaxed wryness in response to George’s tension, and meets Jennie’s amorous resolve with protective brotherly concern. His performance is imbued with an earnest sincerity — except for his flirtation with Faye, for which he exudes an oily charm. Sarah Stryker is entertaining as the flamboyant and world-weary Faye. Like Falisi, she has a flair for comic timing — much of it nonverbal — that serves Zefutie’s staging well. Chapter Two shares concepts with They’re Playing Our Song. Inspired by a love affair between composer Marvin Hamlisch and lyricist Carole Bayer Sager — Simon’s collaborators on the show — the 1979 musical centers on a pair of songwriters whose romantic relationship is complicated by, among other factors, incessant phone calls from the lyricist’s ex-boyfriend. Once again, the past impedes the present. In structure and tone, Chapter Two also bears some similarity to the (nonSimon) musical The Fantasticks: a romantic first act is followed by a darker second act, in which the exhilaration of a relationship is replaced by an awareness of its problems. Given its humorous but honest examination of grief, Chapter Two is more pensive than Neil Simon comedies such as The Odd Couple. However, the self-reflection is leavened by the playwright’s trademark wit. “We have one of the most beautiful marriages that was ever in trouble,” George remarks to Jennie. ommitted to examining the full spectrum of situations and emotions humankind experiences, Pegasus stages intimate productions that are compelling and fun,” the Pegasus Theatre Project states in their program notes. With this nuanced and visually alluring production, the company has fulfilled its mission. Donald H. Sanborn III

Ryanne Domingues Brings In New Era at Passage Theatre; June Ballinger Passes the Torch After 22 Years as Director Trenton’s Passage Theatre Company has a new artistic director as it prepares for the opening of its fall season. C. Ryanne Domingues, cofounder and former producing artistic director of Simpatico Theatre in Philadelphia, has taken over the leading role from June Ballinger, who announced last month that she would be stepping down after 22 years at the helm. Ballinger will return to her career as a writer, actor, and teacher, continuing her

association with Passage as an artistic advisor for this season and teacher of adult acting classes. Domingues is eager to embrace the mission of social change at Passage Theatre, which is known for creating and producing socially-relevant new plays and community-devised arts programming. “I’ve always been interested in theater for social change,” she said. “Our mission at Simpatico was

similar to Passage’s. I was looking to do more of that kind of work. I started coming to the shows at Passage, and I knew this is the kind of work I want to do, work that reflects the community, work that is new, work that has Trenton in mind. It really fits with my values.” Domingues has ser ved at a variety of Philadelphia theaters, including the Wilma, InterAct, and Plays and Players. While earning her MFA in directing at the University of California, Irvine, she worked at South Coast Repertory, California Shakespeare Theater, and Utah Shakespeare Festival. She led a group of undergraduates in creating a new musical, Over the Horizon, based on interviews with Iraq War veterans, and she directed the world premiere of Assistants, which received several awards at the 2015 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Ballinger, who led Passage in refocusing its mission from solely new plays to producing socially-relevant works as well as forging key relationships between Passage and Trenton’s civic, faith-based, and community organizations, expressed her admiration for Domingues. “I knew from the moment we received her resume that she would be the one. Her mission, background, and experience just felt right. When I met her I was even more enthusiastic. Ryanne is smart, enthusiastic, and full of energy.” Domingues, who has moved into the Mill Hill community with her husband and their puppy and cat, is looking forward to getting to know her new hometown. “I want to hear from the community and its residents about the topics they want to see on stage and the topics they want to discuss,” she said. She continued, “I’m interested in work that’s going to help people take the next step and engage with their communities, that will help people to move forward in whatever way they need to move.” She described some of the work she did in Philadelphia at Simpatico, successes she

would like to build on at Passage. “When I co-founded Simpatico, we had a lot of talks about what role theater can play in the community and how it can help people to think in new ways. We paired every show with a nonprofit, depending on what that show was about.” For a show about addiction, for example, Simpatico paired with an organization that was helping families in the community to combat addiction. “We’d volunteer with that agency, and often they would do talkbacks after the shows,” Domingues said. “Our audience grew and the company grew.” In the upcoming season Passage already has plans to partner with HomeFront and possibly with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). In addition to bringing to Passage a range of new artists from Philadelphia, California and elsewhere, Domingues also is excited to focus her attention on the play lab and education programs. A t wo -time Barr ymore Award-winning company, Passage will open its 201718 season and introduce Domingues to the community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony next Monday, September 25 at 11 a.m. outside the Mill Hill Playhouse at 205 East Front Street in Trenton, followed by a tour of the Playhouse.

those voices that aren’t often heard,” said Domingues, “and give a platform to those conversations that can be difficult to have. I can’t wait to hear from the people who live here, to learn, and hopefully we will have some great conversations.” —Donald Gilpin

DVD REVIEW

In the Aftermath of the Emmys — The Paranormal Pleasures of “Fargo” and “Twin Peaks”

hen my wife and I checked into the Library Hotel in New York eight years ago, we were installed in the Paranormal Room. We didn’t ask for the Paranormal Room. If we’d known about the hotel’s subject area concept, we might have requested a room on the 7th floor (the Arts) or the 8th (Literature). Even so, we were okay with being in room 11.05 on the 9th floor (Philosophy), though neither of us has ever been seriously into fantasy, science fiction, or the occult unless you count teenage readings of Ray Bradbury, a few seasons of Star Trek, and a brief fling with Carlos Castaneda (a copy of The Art of Dreaming was on the bedside table, along with volumes on ghosts, ESP, and UFOs). Now that we’re considering an October return to the Library Hotel after a year of watching shows with paranormal elements, among them Orphan Black, Stranger Things, Mr. Robot, Outlander, The Man in the High Castle, Penny Dreadful, The Leftovers, Fargo, and Game of Thrones, we might ask for our old room back. Better yet would be a Magical Realism suite with a sinister ceiling fan like the one haunting Laura Palmer’s house in Twin Peaks, which set the standard for television strangeness in 1990-91. If you want the ultimate in paranormal luxury, complete with room service (a glass of milk) from a tall, gaunt, gently otherwordly old waiter, check into Room 315 at the Great Northern Hotel in Twin Peaks. You can even buy a replica of the key the real Dale Cooper opened the door to a parallel universe with on his mission to save Laura Palmer from the fate that set the whole project in motion. Like a number of other shows, Twin Peaks: The Return was ineligible for consideration at Sunday’s Emmy award ceremonies. Even if it had been nominated, the mixed reviews it’s been getting suggest the show might have drawn only marginal support unless its backers were able to conjure up a Best Drama nomination and a Best Actor for Kyle Maclachlan on the strength of his three-tiered presentation of Dale Cooper as superman of evil, Dale Cooper in limbo as Dougy Jones, and as the too-long-in-coming authentic living breathing coffee-drinking FBI agent who showed up just in time for the most provokingly enigmatic finale this side of The Sopranos. “Fargo” Rules As for the Emmy winners, while I enjoyed HBO’s Big Little Lies, which dominated the Limited Series awards, and while I admired The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, which won for Best Drama Series and brought a Best Actress Emmy to Elizabeth Moss, I’d have cast my vote for the Emmy-nominated third season of FX’s Fargo in a Best Drama/Limited/Comedy Series trifecta. Of course such a thing is impossible even if I could vote because it

would violate Emmy’s rules, but then the power and the charm of Noah Hawley’s Fargo is that it brilliantly, wildly, funnily violates the rules of decorum, probability, expectation, and common sense beginning with the flat out fakery of opening credits that claim “This is a True Story” and ending with Gloria the good cop (Carrie Coon) and Varga the bad guy (David Thewlis) facing off while the prison clock ticks: either the guards will come to put Varga away or Gloria’s supervisor will let him go, and since Varga has displayed the supernatural powers of a 21st-century Mephistopheles and since all of officer Gloria’s supervisors have been clueless Trumpish dupes, Varga’s chances look good. As Hawley tells Deadline Hollywood, the cliffhanger ending reflects the broken reality of the Trump era: “It’s an allegory to the conversation we’re having at this moment. How will we treat each other? Is it American carnage?”

world where anything can and does happen, and Showtime’s Penny Dreadful, with its demons and witches and heady literary channelings of Dorian Gray, John Clare, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. In HBO’s often fascinating but ultimately wearying The Leftovers, you’re asked at the outset to believe in the simultaneous disappearance of 140 million people. However brilliantly the premise is developed, it creates a domino effect of improbables that have you feeling as jerked around as the characters dancing to the frantic music of the concept. On the other hand, a production like BBC America’s Orphan Black, misleadingly labeled as science fiction, knows when to stop taking itself too seriously, though the absurd plot twists tempted us to give up on the final season. The show’s saving grace, along with Tatiana Maslany’s virtuoso performance as the clone sisters, is a sense of humor reminiscent of the black comedy delights of Fargo.

It’s not just that every episode of Fargo begins with a deception, the fake disclaimer goes on to say that the events depicted actually took place, and that “out of respect for the dead, their story has been told exactly as it occurred.” Even if you know that Hawley is having you on (as were the Coen Brothers, creators of the original 1996 film), you can’t help going along with the idea that what you’re about to see has some kernel of real-life credibility, evidence in the age of “fake news” and “alternative facts” that, as the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. Great Expectations You know what’s in store right away when a show is titled Stranger Things, which earned a Best Drama Series nomination for Netflix. Curiously enough, when a show so-named reveals its agenda upfront minus the ploy about a “true story,” it’s easier to accept that the normal everyday middle American small town Indiana setting is located in the epicenter of evil. Other shows devoid of “true-story” claims, far from it, are Game of Thrones, which takes you immediately into another

Other shows we’ve enjoyed that play fast and loose with the normal from the get-go are USA’s Mr Robot, where the seemingly living title character (Christian Slater) is actually dead; Starz’s Outlander, where a 20th-century woman travels back and forth in time; and dystopian shows like Emmy winner The Handmaid’s Tale and Amazon Prime’s Man in the High Castle. In both series, the effectiveness of the fantasy depends on true to life, convincingly established settings. Magical Realism “I’m not against magical realism within a larger realistic story,” said Noah Hawley when TV critic Alan Sepinwall asked him about “the Wandering Jew in a bowling alley that may not be a bowling alley” in Fargo. “My concern,” he went on, “is if you start with magical realism, then you’re basically saying the story isn’t realistic on a mundane level, so I think the way to give the magic realism the most impact is to have it come in the middle of an otherwise grounded story, i.e., a UFO might arrive during a gun battle outside a motel [as happens in Fargo 2] and [we’re] saying that it’s a true story, and so it cre-

ates this tension …. Are we saying that there was a literal UFO [and] are we saying that there was a literal bowling alley in the woods?” What happens is two characters we’re pulling for are being pursued by the apparent reincarnation of the murderous Cossack Yuri Gurka. The woods are dark and deep and cold and snowy, and the two people on the run (a beautiful parolee named Nikki and an unnamed hitman from previous seasons of Fargo) find refuge in a bowling alley. To anyone who knows the Coen Brothers, any bowling alley anywhere means The Big Lebowski, and to anyone who knows David Lynch, the man sitting at the bar ( Ray Wise) means Twin Peaks and Leland Palmer, who killed his daughter Laura while possessed by a demonic force named Bob. In Fargo, Wise is a seer from the Other Side who has a special message for Nikki and the key to a car for her and her companion to escape in. He also has a kitten in his pocket named Ray, who may or may not contain the spirit of Nikki’s dead lover also named Ray (one of two feuding brothers inhabited by Ewan McGregor). Played with charm, force, humanity, and indominitable energy by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Nikki is by this time our favorite character (even including Carrie Coon’s steadfast Gloria), and when she picks up the kitten and stares into its eyes looking for Ray, it may be taking the paranormal to sentimental extremes, but it’s a special moment, and the whole sequence stands out among all the great shows of the past year. Harry Dean’s Swan Song It’s a treat when the news of the day chimes with the theme of the week. For a column beginning in the Paranormal Room, I open this weekend’s New York Times to obits of “a Priest Who Evaluated Apparitions,” a science fiction novelist, and Harry Dean Stanton (1926-2017), who ends his extraordinary acting career as Carl Rodd, the manager of the Fat Trout trailer park in Twin Peaks: The Return. It’s hard to imagine a more fitting swan song for this 90-year-old trouper singing and strumming “Red River Valley” in the haunted heart of Twin Peaks. Stanton is also the compassionate witness to a hit and run that leaves a child dead and a mother in shock. It’s he who sees the boy’s spirit soar into the sky, one of the rare moments when something positive happens in the David Lynch firmament. hat Harry Dean Stanton does with the role of Travis in Wim Wenders’s Paris Texas is worth a column all by itself. Writing about the film on the occasion of its author Sam Shepherd’s July 27th death, I referred to Stanton’s “once-in-a-lifetime, beyondpraise performance as a mute spectral stranger-in-a-strange-land who relearns how to be a father.” —Stuart Mitchner

Westminster Choir College has released Lumina, a new recording by Westminster Kantorei, conducted by Amanda Quist. “The Latin word lumina means to illuminate, shine, brighten, or reveal,” says Dr. Quist. “Each of the works on this recording speaks to the presence of light throughout our life journey: from birth to death, through love, disappointment, forgiveness, and transcendence. These pieces are drawn primarily from Renaissance and Baroque composers of England and Germany, with the inclusion of two special 19thcentury works by composers who were deeply inspired by the ideas and musical styles of these earlier time periods.” Recorded in the Princeton University Chapel, Lumina’s repertoire spans the mystical 12th-century chant of Hildegard von Bingen through J.S. Bach, Henry Purcell and Thomas Tallis, through Felix Mendelssohn and Josef Rheinberger. Lumina is the debut solo recording by Westminster Kantorei, an ensemble dedicated to the study and performance of early music. Conductor Amanda Quist is chair of the conducting, organ and sacred music depar tment at Westminster Choir College. She ser ved as chorus master for the premiere of Toshio Hosokawa’s opera Matsukaze at the Spoleto Festival USA and the Lincoln Center Festival. The New York Times and Charleston City Paper praised the chorus’s performance as “ beautifully prepared, gripping,” a “gossamer web of voices” and “bridging the vocal and instrumental textures with perfect intonation.” Lumina is available on Amazon, iTunes, and Spotify, as well as other major recordings sites. ———

VIGIL FOR WANG: About 200 supporters gathered in East Pyne Courtyard at Princeton University last Friday evening to join a candlelight vigil and show their concern for graduate student Xiyue Wang, who has been imprisoned in Iran for the past 13 months. (Photo by Donald Gilpin)

Vigil Shows Support continued from page one

unjustly imprisoned American citizens are released and returned.” A PhD student in the history department, Wang visited Iran in 2016 to pursue his language studies and conduct research in archi-

val documents from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was arrested in August 2016, and in April 2017 he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. His case was kept confidential for a year in order to avoid interfering with efforts to arrange his release. Then in July of this year the case became public when the Iran judiciary announced his sentence. Princeton University has stated that Iran’s allegations of espionage “are completely false,” and that Wang “was not involved in any political activities or social activism; he was simply a scholar trying to gain access to materials he needed for his dissertation.” Assistant University Vice President for Communication Daniel Day added, “We will continue to do all we can to bring Mr. Wang home and to support his wife and young son.” After the Iranian judiciary announced last month that it had rejected his appeal, P r i n ce ton s t u d e nt s a n d other members of the University community decided to organize a vigil to show support for Wang and to express their hopes that he will return soon to his family, friends, and colleagues. Vigil organizer Richard A. Anderson, a friend of Wang and a graduate student colleague in the history department at Princeton, noted that the vigil “effectively expressed our hope for Wang to come home. Everyone who spoke articulated well who Wang is and how we miss our friend and classmate.” He continued, “ in t he midst of this sad situation, the mood felt warm and loving. It was like a play where there’s a character who is unseen but you get to know

him through others’ comments. That’s what came through in so many small details about Wang.” —Donald Gilpin

Police Blotter On September 8, at 12:23 a.m., a 27-year-old male from Mercerville was charged with DWI subsequent to a motor vehicle stop for speeding on South Harrison Street.

CINEMA REVIEW

Man in Red Bandana

Masked 9/11 Hero Is Memorialized in Inspirational Biopic

So, it wasn’t a surprise to Welles’s family that, instead of leaving the burning building, he chose to remain inside, calmly leading injured and dazed people to safety. When he realized that the only avenue of escape available to those trapped above the floor that the plane had hit was an unstable staircase, he made his way up and down that staircase several times to assist trapped victims. However, because he had covered his face with a red bandana while helping these people, none of those he saved ever knew whom to thank. Nevertheless, a number of articles published by the New York Times, and other newspapers, featured survivors’ accounts describing a masked young man who had saved their lives. Sadly, Welles perished in the collapse of the tower, but not before rescuing at least a dozen people. It was easy for his family and anybody else that knew him to identify Welles as the unidentified Good Samaritan. That’s because a red bandana had been his trademark ever since his father had given him one when he was 7 years old. Welles wore the bandana throughout his childhood, while on the lacrosse field while playing for Boston College, and he even wore it in the pocket of his suit jacket in his job as an up-andcoming equities trader. And then, during the last and finest hours of his life, he used it to filter smoke from the acrid air surrounding him as he was helping save people. The movie is an overdue tribute to a selfless hero who put into action his heartfelt belief that we are all here to care for one another. A must see documentary guaranteed to leave you in tears. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG-13 for mature themes and disaster images. Running time: 85 minutes. Production Studio: Verdi Productions/RDZ Productions. Distributor: Verdi Entertainment/Magna Entertainment/Falco selfless hero: This artists’ rendition is a tribute to a hero who selflessly gave Ink. his life saving others on 9/11. —Kam Williams

ometimes, substance trumps low-production values, such as in the movie Man in Red Bandana. Minutes after the World Trade Center was hit by United Airlines Flight 175 on the morning of 9/11, Welles Crowther called his mother to let her know he was okay. The 24-year-old stockbroker knew she’d be worried, because his office was located on the 104th floor of the South Tower. Welles was also a volunteer firefighter who was seriously considering abandoning his promising Wall Street career to start over with the New York City Fire Department. In fact, he’d recently told his father that having a meaningful job was more important to him than making lots of money.

Noted Plastic Surgeon Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS Specializes in Helping Women to Look Their Best “She was not unattractive, but she was not quite pretty, either. The subtle arrangement of bones and flesh that comprise the human face had conspired to make her ordinary.” —Daniel Silva, The Heist lastic surgeon Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS has the skills to help such a person described above to improve her appearance if she wishes. He can help her to look her best, to achieve the most appropriate image that is uniquely hers.

IT’S NEW To Us

Indeed, his goal is to help women look and feel better. If one looks well, one’s outlook can often improve. Dr. Perry, whose practice is located at 3055 Route 27 in Franklin Park, specializes in facial rejuvenation and uses both face lifts and noninvasive methods to help his patients. As he explains, “Face lift surgery may be an option, but there are many new nonsurgical treatments to help you look great again.” Among these are Botox, a variety of fillers, and new techniques such as Ulthera (ultra-sound) and Instalift stitches. Clinical Fellow Dr. Perry’s interest in plastic surgery dates to his earliest years in medical school at The Albany Medical College of Union University. After graduation (with distinction in research) in 1981, he interned in Beth Israel Hospital at Harvard Medical School, where he was also later a resident in surgery. In 1984-85, he was a Clinical Fellow in burn surgery at New York Hospital at Cornell University Medical Cen-

ter, followed by a residency (serving as chief resident) in plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Chicago. He was later a Fellow in Aesthetic Surgery at Baker-Gordon Associates in Miami, where he trained with the renowned plastic surgeons ( and inventors of the chemical peel) Dr. Thomas Baker and Dr. Howard Gordon. After his residency and subsequent training, Dr. Perry served as clinical associate in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. He continues his work today as clinical associate professor of surgery at the Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and as adjunct associate professor of surgery at Columbia University. Initially opening his practice in 1987, Dr. Perry has been at the current Franklin Park location since 1992. He also opened an office on Fifth Avenue in New York City in 2010. The history of plastic surgery is fascinating, he points out. The first face lift in the U.S. was performed in 1907, and techniques have changed dramatically over the years. “Plastic surgery is a huge field. It includes cleft lip and palate, burn, hand, and cosmetic surgery. There are two parts of cosmetic surgery: rejuvenation, that is, creating a younger version of yourself; and non-rejuvenation, such as changing the shape of the nose. Non-invasive Revolution “In the early 1960s, there were only 200 plastic surgeons in the U.S.,” he continues. “Today, there are 6,000 nationwide. The field of plastic surgery was born during World War II because of the need to help wounded soldiers. Cosmetic surgery evolved from these reconstructive procedures. “In the 1970s, there was often a pulled and over-done

look. In the ’80s, the techniques were really refined. Also, operative surgery has been dwarfed by the popularity of more non-surgical methods with the advent of Botox and fillers, such as Restylane. There was really a non-invasive revolution.” Dr. Perry performs a full range of cosmetic surgery, including face and eyelid lifts, rhinoplasties, cosmetic breast surgery, liposuction, and tummy tucks, as well as chemical peels, Botox and Restylane injections, and the latest Ulthera and Instalift techniques. His favorite procedures are rhinoplasties and face lifts, he explains. “I love doing noses and being able to do something artistically to change the shape, to design a new nose.” Whatever procedure he performs, it is an extremely important step for the patient to take, and must be given careful consideration. “It’s not all vanity,” he points out. “This can really help people feel better about themselves. And many people are working at older ages, and there is still ageism out there. The goal of cosmetic surgery is to make you look normal and like your best self. Early Wrinkles “Typically, women begin to come in for treatment in their mid-40s. They’re finished having children and beginning to think more about themselves again. And, the early wrinkles around the eyes begin to appear and the first hint of jowls, and every year, there’s a little more. You lose one percent of the thickness of the skin and collagen every year after age 30, and that becomes quite visible by the 40s.” A typical face lift (most popular with women 45 to 75) lasts 10 years, he reports. And though the noninvasive injections and fillers are shorter-lived (a year and

a half), they are increasingly favored. “There are just tremendous advances and options for patients today,” says Dr. Perry. “At the beginning of my career, I had to go into the operating room to help people. Now, Botox and Restylane are very popular for people in their 40s or older. Botox is very safe, as are all the fillers, and statistics have shown that people who have Botox experience less depression. It has a moodelevating effect. “Today, there are 6.5 million Botox injections per year and 1.6 million fillers compared to 120,000 face lifts. I believe we are headed for less and less surgery and more non-invasives.” For those who do opt for surgery, Dr. Perry has impor tant advice. “Choose your doctor carefully; check out his or her training and be sure they are boardcertified for the procedures being considered ; and if the procedure is done in the office, make sure that the doctor has privileges at a hospital to do that same procedure.” Dr. Perry has an accredited operating room in his office where he performs a number of procedures for which sedation rather than general anesthesia is appropriate. He also performs surgery at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital and Somerset Medical Center. In addition, he operates at surgery centers (out-patient centers) at Robert Wood Johnson and St. Peter’s. Personal Care If his patient is undergoing surgery, Dr. Perry makes sure she is cleared by her internist, and he also takes a complete medical history of patients for whatever procedure they are having. “I take personal care of my patients,” he explains. “I do all the procedures myself, right down to removing the stitches.” In addition, he ensures that his patients have realistic expectations for the outcome of the proposed

FORM AND FUNCTION: “Plastic surgery is the most creative aspect of medicine,” explains Arthur W. Perry, MD, FACS. “It is the only discipline that is creative, looks at the entire body, and can improve function and appearance.” procedure. “It is important that the patient have the proper mind-set for facial rejuvenation. I want to help women look their best, and I stop them from going too far. I also spend a lot of time fixing the strange results that others have caused. The goal is to perform the procedure so that no one knows it has been done. I want people to look in the mirror, see a refreshed appearance, and feel better about themselves.” Dr. Perry also points out that a good skincare program, incorporating vitamins C and A, can be helpful. He has carefully researched, created, and patented a program including a series of products, emphasizing a simple regimen featuring natural ingredients. In addition to his practice, Dr. Perry has found time to write four books, many newspaper and magazine articles, and is often featured as a lecturer and speaker at various events and conferences. He has also been quoted and reviewed in numerous publications, from Cosmopolitan magazine to The New York Times. Life-long Learning Dr. Perry hosts a weekly plastic surgery radio program, “What’s Your Wrinkle? ” on WABC, and appears regularly on Dr. Oz’s television program, among others. Life-long learning is important for all physicians, and Dr. Perry continues to educate himself and other doctors. He contributes scientific papers to journals and chapters to medical text books, and he has presented original research on liposuction at the American Society

of Plastic Surgeons meeting, as well as on numerous other subjects relating to plastic surgery. He served on the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners for many years, and he is the recipient of many awards and honors. Among them: recognition as one of four plastic surgeons in New Jersey Life Magazine’s Top Doctors ; one of eight plastic surgeons in New Jersey Magazine’s Top Doctors; and as one of New Jersey’s top eight plastic surgeons in New York Magazine. He was honored with the Distinguished Service Award for Outstanding Contribution to Plastic Surgery and the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners by the New Jersey Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Perry is also a member of many medical associations. His patients not only come from the Princeton area, but well beyond, including across the country. Many of them return in later years for further procedures. Plastic surgery is a very individualized practice, he points out. “No two people are alike or look alike. I want to help them look their best, and I am happy to be a plastic surgeon and be able to do that for them. I love what I do!” Dr. Perry can be reached at (732) 422-9600.

With Receiver Carlson Scoring 3 TDs in First Start, PU Football Opens With 27-17 Win over San Diego

ireworks exploded over one side of Powers Field as the Princeton University football team ran on the field for its season opener last Saturday against visiting University of San Diego. Minutes later, Princeton junior receiver Stephen Carlson helped ignite fireworks on the field for the Tigers. With 6:58 left in the first quarter, Carlson, who was making his first career start, caught a nine-yard touchdown pass from Chad Kanoff as the Tigers took a 7-0 lead. “After the first catch, it was like alright. I can really play with these guys,” said Carlson. “We trust our guys. We know we are going to come out there and do better than the other team.” Early in the second quarter, Carlson gathered in another touchdown catch as Princeton went up 14-0. After San Diego closed the gap to 20-17 midway through the fourth quarter, Carlson came through again, making his third TD catch of the game with 1:36 remaining in regulation as Princeton held for a 27-17 win over the Toreros before a crowd of 10,421. For Carlson, stepping up in the starting role was sweet. “It feels good; I think the best feeling is just getting a win,” said Carlson, a 6’4, 225-pound native of Jamestown, N.Y. who entered the day with three career catches. “I am just going to come

out and give my best effort and hopefully it comes out with a win. Carlson was at his best when it looked like the win might be slipping away for Princeton, making third down catches of 17 and 34 yards on the final drive before scoring the insurance TD. “It was just ‘We are going to score,’ that is all coach was saying, ‘we are going to score on this drive,’” said Carlson, reflecting on the 9-play, 95-yard scoring march. “We knew in our minds that we were going to go down the field and score and take it to them. On any manto-man coverage, we feel we are going to be able to win against anybody.” After making just two catches in his sophomore season, Carlson worked hard to put himself in a position to excel. “I think just strength in general; I have become a lot more physical. I pride myself on that,” said Carlson, who became the first Princeton receiver to make three touchdown receptions in a game since Michael Lerch ’92 caught four against Brown during the 1991 season. “My speed has gotten a little better, I still need to work a little on that.” Despite that progress, Carlson’s performance on Saturday far exceeded his expectations coming into the game. “I was envisioning a couple of plays,” said Carlson, who ended up with six catches

for 94 yards. “Chad really put the ball on the money today.” Kanoff was on the money all day, completing 32-of-43 passes for a career-high 352 yards. “All the receivers knew it coming into camp, this is going to be a year that Chad would really shine,” said Carlson. “He was putting in work all summer and then during camp, he was the leader, commanding the offense. He was at another level he had never had before.” Kanoff, for his part, who moved past both Jeff Terrell ’07 and Jason Garrett ’89 during the game to stand third all-time at Princeton with 4,388 career passing yards, enjoyed himself despite some errant plays. “That was fun,” said a smiling Kanoff. “I made too many mistakes, I missed too many throws.” Having taken a backseat to classmate John Lovett in red zone situations last fall, Kanoff has been given the chance to finish drives this season with Lovett injured and seen standing on the sidelines Saturday with his left arm in a sling. “Today, I was part of the answer and that was great,” said Kanoff. “You play quarterback and you want the ball in your hands every play. I did today and it was great to get a win.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace wasn’t surprised to see Kanoff produce a great performance. “You trust your eye and

every year Chad has made a big jump in his development and personal growth,” said Surace, whose team has now won five straight games, stretching back to last fall. “To do this as a fifth senior, he has the confidence and he has the whole offense down. When somebody is a little misaligned, he gets them right. He is putting the ball in these tight zones to big receivers and they are coming up with the ball.” While Carlson came up big, he was just one of the Tiger recovers who starred on the day. Junior Jesper Horsted made 12 catches for 108 yards, Tiger Bech had three grabs for 62 yards and 35 yards on kick returns with Alex Parkinson coming up with one catch for 26 yards. “Our coaches were like Stephen has come such a long way to the point where there is a trust level with the receivers,” said Surace. “Alex had that coach and run and Tiger Bech helped with his special teams play.” Featuring a number of new faces, the Tiger defense stiffened as the day went on, holding the Toreros to 172 yards and seven points over the last 30 minutes of the contest. “We got a better pass rush, I thought, in the second half,” said Surace. “There was that quality presence, with the Kurt Holubas and the Chance Melancons. I thought Mark Fossati played one heck of a game. They were all over the field, I was really happy with that.” Noting that San Diego won the Pioneer Football League title in 2016 and featured a battle-tested roster, Surace was happy to see Princeton

overcome the Toreros. “I don’t want to play games that don’t matter and you want to get a test right away,” said Surace, whose team plays at Lafayette (0-3) on September 23. “I knew we were young on defense and they were experienced on offense. This was going to give us an amazing opportunity to get ourselves ready for the rest of the year.”

While Carlson was excited by the opening day win, he realizes Princeton faces a lot of big tests ahead. “We wanted to end this week 1-0, which is what we did,” said Carlson. “Now it is just a matter of improving, every week we want to come out and be better. This was a good starting point but we know we have a lot of work to do.” —Bill Alden

Even though Mikaela Symanovich has established herself as a stalwart on the back line for the Princeton University women’s soccer team, that doesn’t mean she can’t be a threat on the attacking end as well. Last Sunday against visiting Delaware, senior star Symanovich headed a corner kick from classmate Vanessa Gregoire into the back of the net to give Princeton a 1-0 lead at the 15:53 mark. “This season, I have been getting up for a lot of corners; I am just hungry for goals,” said Symanovich, a native of San Francisco, Calif. who now has two goals and an assist this season. “I want to set a precedent for our entire team. There shouldn’t just be a single player who is scoring every single goal. Our team has done the best when we have had goals come from lots of different players and had lots of different types of goals. I was just really pumped to get one for the team.” The goals kept coming for 20th-ranked Princeton as it

pulled away to a 3-0 win over the Blue Hens, improving to 7-1. Hitting the field on Sunday, the Tigers were pumped up to bounce back from a tough 1-0 loss to No. 6 and 2016 national runner-up West Virginia two days earlier. “The motivation was higher because of our loss; West Virginia is a really talented team but I don’t think anyone on our side was really content with that game, especially with the first half,” said Symanovich. “We felt we sat in a little too much; we didn’t necessarily give them everything that we could have. The team in general was a little ticked off from that game; we had more to give and we wanted to show that today.” The team’s back line has given Princeton a lot this season, yielding only two goals and posting six shutouts through eight games. “Our defensive unit is very tight this year, we are best friends and I think it reflects with our communication through the back,” said Symanovich, who is

joined in the defensive unit by classmates Natalie Larkin and Katie Pratt-Thompson along with sophomore Olivia Sheppard and freshman Lucy Rickerson. “There is a lot of chemistry. We want to play with each other and connect passes. We have just been trying to improve on our possession out of the back and having our offense really build through us.” Symanovich and her fellow seniors have taken it upon themselves to build team unity. “I think my class is just incredibly motivated; we have had ups and downs throughout our time at Princeton so far,” said Symanovich, who is one of seven members of the Class of 2018 on the Princeton roster. “This team, all around, from the freshmen to the seniors is incredibly talented and motivated and my class just wants to lead everyone through that.” Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll sensed that his team was motivated to get back on the winning track after

the loss to West Virginia. “Act ions speak louder than words, let’s see what you do on a Sunday. Do you come back and really play and have an emphatic win or do you come out and not give your best effort?” said Driscoll. “We don’t know, we will see. Great teams come back and have a really good response and they responded exceptionally well. We played really well, I was really impressed.” D r is coll has been im pressed with Symanovich’s play in her final campaign. “Mikaela was a forward when I came in and we liked her tenacity and put her in the back,” said Driscoll. “She has had a tremendous career. She is playing the best I have ever seen her play. She gets better every year, her and Natalie [Larkin] both. They have been really, really good. Mikaela got a goal against N.C. State, she got a goal here and got an assist the other day. I am happy for her, she has worked supremely hard.” Sophomore striker Abby Givens has emerged as a tremendous force up top for the Tigers, scoring two goals in the win over Delaware to

give her a team-high six on the season. “Abby is a very special player, she is very talented and can play in any of the wide areas,” said Driscoll, reflecting on a game which saw Princeton build a 24-1 edge in shots. “She can play as a center forward. She is relentless, she has a blue collar mentality. She has got a lot of talent and a nose for the goal. You put together hard work with talent and a nose for the goal and good things happen.” Assessing his team’s 7-1 start, Driscoll is seeing good things happening all over the field. “The back line had another shutout, we have played eight games and we have six shutouts,” said Driscoll. “We have scored 17 and conceded two. If you had told me back when the season started that we would be 7-1 in the first 8 games I don’t know if I would not have believed you but I will certainly take it. It is about as well as we could have done with the exception of West Virginia, which was a hard fought game.” Opening its Ivy League campaign by hosting Yale (62-1) this Saturday, Driscoll

is expecting a hard battle from the Bulldogs. “I like where we are, I think we are in a good mindset now,” said Driscoll. “Yale has had a very good year and a good start, they are going to be one of the better teams in the league for sure and it will be a good test for us. That first game is a huge one so hopefully we can ride the momentum. We have been pretty good at home so far, we have just lost the one game. Hopefully we can continue in a positive direction.” Symanovich, for her part, is looking for a more positive result against Yale on Saturday than the 1-1 tie in last year’s clash between the rivals. “We have a score to settle from last year; we tied them and we were not at all content with that,” said Symanovich, noting that Princeton started 7-1 in 2016 only to go 2-3-2 in Ivy play. “This year we just want to come out and make that right. I don’t think anyone is content with 7-1 at this point because anything can happen in Ivy League and that is a very high priority for us right now.” —Bill Alden

Dropping Another Heartbreaker at Home, Princeton Men’s Soccer Falls to 0-3-1 For the Princeton University men’s soccer team, the cozy confines of its Myslik Field at Roberts Stadium have been decidedly unfriendly so far this season. In its home opener against Seton Hall on September 7, the Tigers squandered a 3-0 lead on the way to a 4-3 defeat in overtime. L ast Fr iday, Pr inceton hosted Souther n Illinois University Edwardsville in its second home game and outshot the Cougars all night only to surrender a goal with 15 seconds left in regulation to fall 1-0. W h i le P r i n ce ton h e ad coach Jim Barlow acknowledged that the defeat was tough to swallow for the coaches and players, he believes that nobody is giving up on the season. “Everyone is frustrated but frustrated in a way that they know our team has a lot of talent and can be good,” said Barlow, whose club dropped to 0-3-1 with the defeat. “From that standpoint, they are hanging in there.” The Tigers had to hang in there defensively as they lacked manpower along the back line. “I thought we played pretty well all night actually, especially considering that we are pretty shorthanded in the back,” said Barlow, noting that the Tigers didn’t have the services of starting defenders Benji Issroff and Henry Martin for the contest. “ R i c h a r d Wo l f h a d n’t played any minutes before and he started at center

back. Ben Mar tin hasn’t played in the back and he started in the back. From that standpoint, I thought we looked pretty good and organized.” Outshooting the Cougars 15-8 on the night, Princeton had some good moments on the attacking end. “They are hard to break down and I thought we did enough to create four or five chances,” said Barlow, noting that Sean McSherry and Jeremy Colvin both got good looks on goal. “It is really frustrating to have the game still be 0-0 in the last few minutes.” The frustration hit a boiling point in the final sequence of regulation when a Princeton player was pulled down in the attacking end but nothing was called, leading to the SIUE counterattack that resulted in the game-winning goal. “Certainly we thought it was a foul down here and that would have given us a free kick at the top of the box,” lamented Barlow. “Maybe a couple of guys were arguing too much. We didn’t do a good enough job of stopping the counter. When they didn’t call it, we need to be better at that part.” With Princeton slated to play at Boston University on September 19 and at Fairleigh Dickinson on September 23, Barlow knows that his team badly needs a win. “We are trying to tell the guys that we are further along in a lot of ways than

we have been in previous years soccer wise,” said Barlow. “Everyone would rather be winning and playing a little worse than playing better and losing and trying to still keep pushing it along in a way that we fix the problems that we are having.” In Barlow’s view, getting back to full strength would solve some problems for the Tigers. “We had so many injuries during preseason and so it would be nice to have a game where we have everyone healthy,” said Barlow. “Everyone should be back soon and hopefully back for the Ivy League season.” —Bill Alden

Named NHL Vice President

Former Princeton University men’s hockey player and Stanley Cup champion George Parros ’03 has been named the new senior vice president of player safety, the National Hockey League said last week. Parros has been involved in the NHL organization since his retirement in 2014 and has served on the Department of Player Safety since 2016. A native of Washington, Pa., Parros has been a voice within the NHL since his playing days. He was named to the NHL Player Association Negotiating Committee in 2012 and was one of the more active players in negotiations. K n ow n for h i s p hys i cal style of play, the 6’5, 230-pound Parros believes that is why he is the perfect choice for this position. “What uniquely positions me for the job is that I played the game as physically as anybody and I never once was fined or suspended,” said Parros. “I know where that line is. I know how to protect my guys or intimidate but not injure or hurt.”

Drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 1999, Parros signed with the organization immediately following his graduation from Princeton. He became the seventh Princetonian to play in the NHL when he was named to the Kings’ opening night roster for the 2005-06 season. After a brief stint with the Colorado Avalanche, Parros spent six years with the Anaheim Ducks, winning the Stanley Cup with the organization in 2007. He signed with the Florida Panthers for the 2012-13 season and finished his career with the Montreal Canadiens in 201314. Parros completes his career playing in 474 NHL games, scoring 18 goals and 18 assists while picking up 1092 penalty minutes. The Department of Player Safety was created in 2011 and led by Brendan Shanahan before Stephan Quintal took over. At Pr inceton, Par ros played in 111 games and scored 20 goals and 25 assists. He was named to the ECAC All-Academic Team three times while earning his degree in economics in 2003.

Devon Lis is primed to shoulder more responsibility this fall in her senior season with the Princeton High girls’ soccer tam. “I am definitely stepping up into that leadership position, I want to push our team,” said Lis, who is serving as the co-captain of the squad with classmate Colette Marciano. “I want to get us going and make those key plays that keep everyone in the game and pumped up to win.” Last Wednesday, star midfielder Lis did just that as PHS hosted WW/P-South, curling in a brilliant volley to give the Little Tigers a 1-0 lead just over 10 minutes into the contest. “I was dribbling across the 18 and I saw the goalie cheated over to the right a little bit so I thought I could hook it in the left corner,” said Lis. Having lost 2-1 to both Steinert and Notre Dame in its last two games before facing WW/P-South, PHS was hungry to get back in the win column. “We definitely had a positive energy coming in; we wanted to do well, we wanted to prove ourselves,” said Lis. “We are a good group. I think that goal was great to set the tone for the team.” Building on the energy from the tally by Lis, PHS got goa ls f rom Morga n Beamer and Abaigeal Ryan in the next 10 minutes and never looked back on the way to a 3-0 victory. In Lis’s view, the threegoal output was a sign that PHS is finding an offensive rhythm. “We have really clicked, we have a great chemistry on the field and off the field,” said Lis. “We are really working on finding the end line, getting it back and crossing it. We have super fast forwards (junior transfer Camille Franklin and sophomore Kirin Kunukkasseril) and we can really make use of that.” With 11 seniors on the PHS squad, there is a sense of urgency this fall. “We all want to have a great season, we all want to have a winning season,” said Lis, who is headed to Georgetown University where she will be playing for its women’s soccer program. “We have experience on the team already so there are no nerves; we just want to come out and play.” PHS head coach Val Rodriguez credited Lis with helping the Little Tigers get off to a great start in the win over WW/P-South. “It was a nice lift from her just to keep the ball at her feet, to be the player and take a nice shot to make that statement, hey we can do this,” said Rodriguez.

Rodriguez was happy to see her team bounce back from the tough losses to Steinert and Notre Dame. “We had some ups and downs in both games,” said Rodriguez. “It is the beginning of the season, we are just trying to figure things out and get our rhythm.” Seeing Beamer and Ryan get on the scoresheet was a plus for PHS. “We have got more people scoring, that is a great thing,” added Rodriguez. “That is our message, we are a team of 22 and every single person has a really important role. We all have to have the confidence and courage to move into the attack and do something with the ball.” Franklin and Kunukkasseril’s play in the attacking end was a bright spot for the Little Tigers.

“I really liked what Kirin did on the field, she played hard and won some 50/50 balls for us,” said Rodriguez. “She took the ball to the end which is what we were asking of her. Camille is working hard, she is coming along. She is new into the mix. She knows what she is doing, she was a good pickup.” On defense, sophomore Lauren Rougas gave PHS

some solid work. “Lauren is doing a really good job in her role, communicating better and keeping the defense organized,” said Rodriguez, whose team tied Robbinsville 0-0 last Friday in moving to 2-2-1 and will host Nottingham on September 26. Lis, for her part, believes PHS can have a really good season. “We have a lot of potential, I think we can be up there,” said Lis. “We just have to prove ourselves, today was just the beginning for us.” —Bill Alden

Despite Dealing With Upheaval to Lineup, PHS Girls’ Tennis Still Looking Formidable Although it is just a few weeks into the 2017 season, the Princeton High girls’ tennis team has already experienced more than its share of upheaval. Having lost three key seniors (Maggie Herring, Elise Gerdes, and Brinda Suppiah) from last year’s squad to graduation, the team’s returning first singles player, Samantha Singer, transferred to Peddie over the summer. PHS welcomed a

t ransfer f rom Pr inceton Day School, Sydney Vines, who played some matches at second singles this season for the Little Tigers before getting sidelined by a knee injury. As a result, PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert has moved senior Helen Bennett into the second singles spot and sophomore doubles star Nicole Samios has taken over the third singles spot. “The three people who

have been in the doubles lineup w ill return,” said Hibbert, referring to junior Caroline Tan, sophomore Sora Sato, and junior Adriana Todorova. “As a result the fourth spot for doubles is up for grabs and still to be determined.” Despite the upheaval, PHS has produced a 6-0 start with sophomore Spencer Watts proving to be a constant at first singles. “Spencer is a great player, she is willing to serve and volley which not many girls are these days,” said Hibbert. “She is a strong all-around player. She has a good attitude on court; she doesn’t get into a lot of things that are common in competitive tennis. Spencer can compete with the strong players.” Senior Bennett is looking to be competitive in her new role. “Helen works really hard, she was in our JV lineup last year and has put a lot of effort into her game,” said Hibbert. “She is now in the challe ng i ng sp ot of s e con d singles. She is a very sweet person and is a captain this year. She has worked hard to get the new girls on the team to feel comfortable.” Hibbert is confident that Samios will find a comfort level at third singles. “She has played a lot of doubles and she is willing to serve and volley as well,” said Hibbert. With PHS star ting action in the Mercer County Tournament on September 25 at Mercer County Park, Hibbert believes her players are willing and able to make an impact at the event. “We are looking to play as well as we can and compete the best we can,” said Hibbert. “Due to people assuming new spots right before the tournament, there is always some uncertainty. We are hoping they will all settle in well. We still have a lot of talent; there are a lot of girls who can compete and are ready to work hard.” —Bill Alden

After Falling to 0-3 With Loss to Hightstown, PHS Football Going Back to the Basics Having been outscored 75-0 in losing its first two games, the Princeton High football team reached into its bag of tricks as it hosted Hightstown last Saturday. Looking to catch the Rams by surprise, PHS started the game with an onside kick. The gamble paid off as the Little Tigers recovered the ball and proceeded to march to the Hightstown five-yardline. But then things started to go awry as Hightstown recovered a fumble and then scored on a long touchdown run two plays later. That marked the beginning of a string of misfortunes for PHS which saw Hightstown break the game open by returning another fumble for a touchdown, taking a squibbed punt for paydirt, and then getting a fourth TD by recovering a bad snap in the end zone. “You cou ld n’t w r ite a movie script with that kind of bad luck,” lamented PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher, reflecting on the early barrage which set the tone as Hightstown rolled to a 53-18 win. There was some consolation for the Little Tigers as they finally got into the end zone this fall with freshman quar terback Jake Renda finding junior receiver Tyler Komis for a 25-yard touchdown pass. PHS added to that with a touchdown run by Renda and a touchdown reception by junior star Isaac Webb on a pass from classmate Ryan Benattar. “Without a doubt, it was good to get on the scoreboard,” said Gallagher. While there is no doubt that the lopsided defeat to the Rams stung, Gallagher believes the program can lay the foundation for future success. “Everybody was a little demoralized after a big blowout loss,” said Gallagher. “We had a conversation with the coaching staff and redefined who we are a little

bit to make sure that we get back to basics. We have to develop guys. I think game plan-wise we are in good shape.” Quarterback Renda along with junior running backs Evan Angelucci, Adam Rothstein, and Juan Shambi have the potential to develop into something special. “The offense did a nice job, three different kids ran the ball for us on Saturday and we rushed pretty well,” said Gallagher. “Jake had completions of 11, 26, 25, 30, and 22 yards. It is important to get him going. You have to start building confidence. The

three running backs really helped us out. Jake knows now that he doesn’t have to do everything. With no game this weekend, PHS will get some extra time to prepare its next game, a clash at Lawrence High (0-3) on the evening of September 28. “We will watch a lot of game tape of Lawrence, I went and scouted them the other day,” said Gallagher. “We will do some walk throughs. They are a big, physical team. Even though they played Steinert the other night and lost 25-7, it was a very physical game. I think we will be excited to play them on a Thursday night. It is a good rivalry game.” —Bill Alden

Maddie Coyne wasn’t trying to do anything fancy for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team as she launched a free kick early in overtime against Hun last Thursday. “I was looking to get into the general direction of goal, that is always my goal on those,” said PDS senior star center back and co-captain Coyne. Coyne’s boot from just in front of the midfield line sailed through the air and caromed off the head of a Hun defender into the back of the net for an own goal to give the Panthers a 1-0 victory. “That is super unlucky for them because the goalie called it and the girl flicked it,” said Coyne. PDS was due for some luck after falling 2-1 to Morristown in overtime on September 11. “It was tough because we played a really good game against Morristown; we just couldn’t put it in but our energy was really good in that game,” said Coyne. “So it was good for us to come out with this win. I think we dominated most of this game. Our center mids played so well and then we had Kelly Beal making all of those runs.” During the Hun game, Coyne made several runs up the field from her center back spot. “That has something I have been doing pretty frequently, it just gives other people oppor t u nit ies to

make runs,” said Coybe. “There are outside mids that will take the ball; it gives me an opportunity to play them for a goal.” With PDS generating several scoring opportunities in the second half, including a sequence as the end of regulation where the Panthers just missed on a point blank flurry, Coyne and her teammates were confident heading into overtime. “We had a lot of momentum going into the overtime period in the last game we played and it was just one little letdown for a second that made us lose,” said Coyne. “I knew we would come out with something; I am really proud of everything we put forth today.” PDS head coach Pat Trombetta liked the way his team built momentum through the contest. “We picked it up in the second half, we created a number of opportunities,” said Trombetta. “Those are the opportunities we have to finish, we have to find a way to finish those.” Wit h t he loss to Morristown fresh in his mind, Trombetta urged his players to finish with a win against Hun. “We spoke after the end of regulation, we have been here before and we know what it feels like to come up short,” said Trombetta “We spoke about that and we said let’s not let that happen to us twice in one week.” Trombetta had the sense

that Coyne would come up big when she got the chance to send the ball into the box early in overtime. “It was a nice kick in by Maddie, she is a threat from deep on the free kick,” said Trombetta. “It is unfortunate the way the game ended for them but we will take it.” With six freshmen seeing significant time for the Panthers this fall, Trombetta believes his newcomers will take a lot from the win over Hun. “For all of those young players, these games where it is down to the wire is going to be good experience for them come tournament t i m e ,” s a i d Tr o m b e t t a , whose team moved to 3-2 with a 1-0 win over Wardlaw-Hartridge last Monday and plays at Blair Academy on September 23 before hosting Peddie on September 25. “They are building some confidence and they are getting to play in some very competitive games.” Coyne, for her part, is looking to lead those young players along with fellow defender and co-captain Becca Kuzmicz. “It is a lot of responsibility; as center backs we always have everything in front of us so we see everything and we are able to direct things,” said Coyne. “Becca and I have that down pat. I am so excited that these new girls are stepping up and they are really impacting things.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Depth, Good Team Chemistry, PDS Girls’ Tennis Produces Solid 4-0 Start With his Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team having posted three 3-2 wins on the way to a 4-0 star t, E d Ts eng is s ee ing parallels between the squad and a storied baseball team of the 1990s. “We have a pretty deep team, I look at it as like the 1996 Yankees where nobody was a superstar but everyone stepped up,” said PDS head coach Tseng. Like that version of the Yankees, PDS has shown a penchant of stepping up in the clutch, proving that it can come through in close matches. “From the girls’ perspectives, it is nice to have those close ones because it is ‘oh wow, we can pull these out,’” said Tseng, whose team defeated Stuart Country Day 5-0 last Monday in moving to 4-0. “So the next time it is a tight match, it is ‘well, OK, we can do this.’” At first singles, sophomore Grace Marshall has been doing ver y well so far this season. “Grace is steady and a smart player,” said Tseng. “She has been working hard, it is a nice surprise to have her at the top.” Senior Helen Peterson has emerged as a pleasant surprise for the Panthers at second singles. “This is going to be Helen’s first solid varsity season, she has kind of been a swing player in past years,” noted Tseng. “She is a nice athlete, she has been doing some great things for us.”

A n e xc h a n g e s t u d e nt from Turkey, sophomore Selin Kessaf, has brought some athleticism at third singles. “Selin is a competitor,” said Tseng. “She trained hard in Turkey and she likes to win.” PDS boasts some battletested veterans in doubles with seniors Arya Jha and Tarika Kumar pairing up at first doubles and senior Emma Dr ies and junior Giulia Gerschel playing in the second doubles spot. “They have great experience, they play well together,” said Tseng of his first doubles pair. “ T h e y h av e d i f fe r e n t personalities so they help each other out and they are competitors too. The second doubles is also a great team. We have been working hard with our doubles strategy so I think they are going to be able to do some damage this season too.” Tseng is hoping that PDS will do some damage in the upcoming Mercer County Tournament, which starts on September 25 at Mercer County Park. “In counties and preps, anything can happen,” said Tseng, whose team w ill tune up for the MCT with a match at Blair Academy on September 23.

“I had no expectations going into 2011 and we won it. The goal is always to try to win it and we will see how it goes at the end of the two days.” In Tseng’s view, it is going to be a fun fall, no matter how the results come out. “I think I am happiest that everyone gets along, we are a big family and ever yone suppor ts each other,” said Tseng. “That goes a long way in terms of culture for the day in, day out of practice, competition, and bus rides. There are no egos, attitudes, or cliques.” —Bill Alden

Hun Girls’ Soccer Falls in OT to PDS But Sees Many Positives Going Forward Joanna Hallac sensed that her Hun School girls’ soccer team was going to find itself in a nail-biter as it played at Princeton Day School last Thursday. With the local rivals having played a number of onegoal games in recent years, the 2017 meeting between the local rivals followed that script. The team were knotted in

a scoreless tie at the end of regulation and PDS ended up getting a 1-0 win on an own goal when a Panther free kick bounced off a Hun defender and went into the back of the net. “It was the usual, I think both teams played their butts off and it was a nice game,” said Hun head coach Hallac. “That is a crappy way to end a game like that.”

While the ending was frustrating, Hallac was proud of the nice work produced by her back line against PDS. “The defense was unbelievable, Leah Sutphen in goal and Brenna Wehner, Kendall Dandr idge, and Amanda Jenkins, until she had to leave, kept us in it and they kept us going,” asserted Hallac, who got another strong defensive effort last Saturday when Hun defeated Monroe 1-0 and improved to 3-1. Hallac acknowledged that Hun needs to get it going more on the attack end. “Both teams had a lot of wide open opportunities and we need to pull the trigger,” said Hallac. “I want them to play with their teammates and trust their teammates but there is a time to be selfish and a time to be selfless. When you are in front of the goal with no one on you, that is the time to be selfish.” In Hallac’s view, there should be good times ahead for her squad. “We had two good wins (2-1 over Ewing on September 9 and 3-1 over George School on September 13) coming in,” said Hallac, whose team plays at Germantown Academy (Pa.) on September 22 before hosting Pennington on September 26. “ We c a n reg roup a nd rebound. It is early in the season as it always is when we play PDS. We both have some young players that are still learning.” —Bill Alden

Undergoing a Youth Movement by Necessity, Hun Field Hockey Aims for Daily Improvement W hile Kathy Quirk acknowledges that her Hun School field hockey team lacks experience, she believes it possesses a lot of grit. “We lost 12 seniors last year and the year before that we lost 13,” said Hun head coach Quirk. “I have seven seniors and only five of them saw playing time last year. We are going to be very young. We do seem to be a lot more scrappier in front of the cage than the teams I have had in the past so I am hoping that is going to buy us some goals.” In the first week of the season Hun has demonstrated its scrappiness, tying Springside-Chestnut Hill (Pa.) 2-2 in its opener on September 13 and then losing a 3-2 nail-biter to Pennington the next day. Senior captain Julia Revock helped spark the Raiders in the opening action, scoring a goal in each of those contests. “We are looking at Revock on attack and we moved Kendall Nehlig, a junior, up onto the line this year,” said Quirk. “Revock is working hard, she has stepped it up as a leader. She is a very stable player. Nehlig played defense last year and we moved her up to the line, that is where she really likes to play.” Quirk also likes the work she is getting from others on attack, including sophomore Gigi Venizelos, freshman Ali Rho, sophomore Gabby Samano, and junior Theresa Hemberger. “Gigi will play on the line, she is very scrappy,” said Quirk of Venizelos, who has also scored a goal in each of Hun’s games this season. “She is a real coachable kid, she listens to what you want her to do. Three other girls who are looking to play on the line — Ali, who came to us from the Princeton school district, Gabby who played JV for us last year, a n d T h ere s a, w ho a ls o played JV last year.”

Let us show you how to protect what you’ve worked so hard to earn.

In the midfield, senior captain Claudine Chiminski will be leading the way along with senior Isabelle Ross, sophomore Abby Zucatti, senior Barlow Antar, and senior Laura McBryan. “Claudine Chiminski is the only returning midfield player for us,” said Quirk. “We have got a new transfer in Isabelle, she is a senior who comes from Baltimore. Abby is looking to play some midfield; Barlow and Laura both played JV for us last year.” A quartet of juniors — Megan Donohue, Letson Nehlig, Emily Ward, and Olivia Preston, along with senior Kendall Versfeld — will be leading the defensive unit. “In the back is Meg who will probably be a center back for us; Letson and Em-

ily are on the sides,” said Quirk. “Olivia is looking to have some playing time back there and Kendall is playing at sweeper.” Quirk believes that junior goalie M.C. Shea is poised to play well this fall. “M.C. is working hard,” said Quirk, who also has sophomore Emily Albanese playing in goal. “She really stepped it up last year and she is going to build from what she did last year.” With Hun having a tradition of stepping up as the season goes on, Quirk hopes her squad will peak by tournament time. “We have to improve each game, which we have always done in the past,” said Quirk, whose team hosts Montgomery on September 22 before playing at Stuart County Day School on September 26. —Bill Alden

William Woodrum Ellis William Woodrum Ellis, 92, died on August 31, 2017 at home in Osprey, Florida surrounded by his loving family. A long-time Princeton resident, Bill Ellis was born and raised in Jefferson City, Missouri. An Eagle Scout by the age of 15, Bill enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve while still in high school and was called to active duty in July 1943. After graduating from Midshipmen School at Notre Dame University, Bill served as a naval officer in the Pacific during World War II. After the war he completed his chemical engineering degree at the University of Missouri in Columbia, where he was a member of Alpha Chi Sigma professional chemistry fraternity, Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society, and Delta Tau Delta. He was employed by duPont, Owens-Illinois, and Ross L aborator ies before ac-

cepting an academic position as executive director of professional education first at Carnegie-Mellon University and then at Princeton University. In 1978, Bill founded University Associates of Princeton to offer professional education in statistics and management science for corporate clients and practicing professionals across the United States and Europe. He retired in 2003. Bill was an active member of a range of professional associations including the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Society for Engineering Education, American Society for Quality Control, American Statistical Association, and the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education. In addition to being a founding member of the Princeton Officer’s Society, he was a member of the Confrérie de la Chaîne des Rôtisseurs, English Speaking Union, Nassau Club of Princeton, Princeton Club of New York, and Jasna Polana. Bill first met his wife of 65 years, Joan Riopelle Ellis, while both were in colleges in Columbia, Missour i. T hey lived in H ad d on f i el d , N e w J e r sey; Columbus, Ohio; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania before moving to Princeton in 1975. During their 40year tenure in Princeton, Bill and Joan were active supporters of the Princeton A r t Museum, Pr inceton Historical Society, Morven Museum and Garden, Drumthwacket Foundation, Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, and Princeton Academy of the

Sacred Heart. Bill and Joan shared a passion for travel and enjoyed many wonderful trips and adventures around the world. In 2015, they moved to The Oaks Club in Osprey, Florida. Son of the late Marjorie Woodrum Ellis and Charles William Ellis of Jefferson Cit y Missouri, father of the late Jeffry Riopelle Ellis, and brother of the late Robert Clay Ellis, Bill is survived by his wife, Joan; his children Gregory and Maria; his grandchildren Keith, Sara, Sophie, Elyssa, and Heather; his daughtersin-law, Kathleen and Delores, and son-in-law, Jeffrey.

Russell Estates

64 Farrand Road, Princeton

Tucked into a premier cul de sac location in Princeton's tony Russell Estates enclave, 64 Farrand is a testament to both the designer's architectural prowess and the homeowner's desire to create the home of their dreams. Through the double doors, a showstopping foyer enveloped in windows soaring to the height of the cathedral ceiling is revealed. Meticulously maintained hardwood floors flow throughout the home, creating continuity. The public rooms radiate from the foyer, offering open entertaining space with inviting conversation areas. The centerpiece of each of these rooms are the French doors that lead to the patios and private gardens beyond.
