Owen Bardzilowski, 14-year-old ninth grader at Princeton High School who took his own life at his family’s home on Henry Street last Thursday, has been remembered and mourned by many different people in many different ways during the past week. Owen’s father Joe stated on Facebook Saturday, “The outpouring of love from our friends, our family, and our community have been comforting for us.” Mr. Bardzilowski emphasized the importance of openness and raising awareness in response to his son’s death. “I have no words,” he wrote, “But if you need to express your grief quietly or publicly or if you just want to hug one of Owen’s family members, we are not being shy or hiding from this tragedy. We as a community need to get our heads around this and do whatever we can to raise awareness.” Echoing Mr. Bardzilowski’s thoughts, HiTops, specializing in adolescent health, and Good Grief, a center for children’s bereavement, yesterday held an “Open Door” at Hi Tops headquarters on Wiggins Street for teens to come “for support and connection.” Counselors from both organizations were available. According to their websites, HiTops is “here to help ensure that our community’s young people have the information, tools, and resources they need to thrive and grow,” and Good Grief is “dedicated to the emotional and physical health of children, teens and families after the death of a loved one.” Bill Schofield, interim executive director of HiTops, stated, “Owen’s death has shaken the community in a lot of different ways.” Describing “a strong outpouring of support,” he added that HiTops has recently become more active at times of crisis. They held an “Open Door” event following the Orlando terrorist shootings last June. Mr. Schofield praised the Princeton Schools’ work in counseling students and said that HiTops’ goal is “to provide a safe space and an avenue for young people to express their thoughts and feelings.” Joseph Primo, CEO of Good Grief, added, “The death of a peer and friend can be a time of confusion, fear, and a host of other emotions that teens may not have yet confronted. Good Grief and HiTops are providing a safe place Continued on Page 38

Democrats Open Headquarters, Greet Booker
More than a thousand Hillary Clinton supporters filled the Democratic Campaign headquarters, filled an overflow area in The Triumph Brewery below, and lined up on Nassau Street Sunday to celebrate their candidate and greet U.S. Senator Cory Booker. “What a wonderful problem we have that we did not anticipate,” said Mr. Booker, as he looked out over the crowd of enthusiastic supporters fanning themselves in the hot room that serves as the location for the Princeton for Hillary Campaign, run by the Princeton Community Democratic Organization (PCDO), as well as the statewide Hillary for New Jersey Campaign. The event officially opening the Princeton campaign headquarters and kicking off the fall campaign “exceeded our expectations,” said PCDO president Owen O’Donnell. “We were so happy at the turnout.” Urging the crowd to commit to phone banking and canvassing for Ms. Clinton, Mr. Booker stated, “This is going to be an election won on the fundamentals. It’s going to be won in the trenches. The most persuasive thing is neighbors talking to neighbors, friends talking to friends.” Mr. Booker urged the Hillary support-
ers to hold on to “ten two-letter words,” attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King: “If it is to be it is up to me.” Emphasizing Ms. Clinton’s character, experience, and passion for making a difference in the lives of children and others in need, Mr. Booker, who has campaigned extensively with Ms. Clinton and was on the short list as a vice presidential candidate, stated, “This to her is not just about winning. It’s about the unfinished business of America.” Other Democratic leaders speaking included New Jersey State Director of the
Clinton campaign Jennifer Holdsworth, State Democratic Chair John Currie, Mercer County Executive Brian Hughes, and State Senator Linda Greenstein (D-14). In looking ahead to the 50 days leading up to the election, Mr. O’Donnell discussed the importance of the PCDO efforts in neighboring Pennsylvania. “We’re not taking New Jersey for granted,” he said, “but we are doing everything we can to recruit people to go to Pennsylvania, that important swing state.” He mentioned that volunteers are Continued on Page 12
Mercer County Plans to Sue Over Stalled Bridge Projects Fed up with the ongoing shutdown of transportation projects including the replacement of a bridge on Carter Road, Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes has announced that the county has served a “notice of claim” against the State of New Jersey and the Department of Transportation. The stalled projects, which also include a bridge replacement in Hamilton Township, a new security fence at Trenton-Mercer Airport, and bridge rehabilitations in
Hopewell Township, are the result of an executive order by Governor Chris Christie on June 30. All ongoing work funded by the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, which the State said would run out of money by the end of summer, were immediately shut down. On July 6, the DOT’s acting commissioner Richard Hammer issued a companion shutdown order requiring that all contractors secure projects and cease active work on Continued on Page 16
STANDING FOR JAZZ: Princeton’s 25th Jazz Feast drew a standing-room-only crowd to Palmer Square Sunday. Performers included Alan Dale and the New Legacy Jazz Band, Chuck Redd, Spanglish Fly, the Pete and Will Anderson Quintet, and Professor Cunningham and his Old School. (Photo by Emily Reeves)

Multifaith Vigil in Palmer Square Supports Victims of Terrorism “This is particularly important because of Islamophobia, which is rearing its ugly head again as a result of these incidents,” said the Rev. Robert Moore of the Coalition. “The idea was initiated by Mustafa Abdi, d irec tor of Muslims for Peace, with whom we have
been partnering for a number of years. I’m particularly pleased because a big part of the idea is to proactively gather people from different backgrounds, to stand against gun violence and terror.” Both the Rev. Moore and Mr. Abdi will speak at the event, as will Dolores Phillips, legislative director of the Coalition’s Ceasefire NJ Project.

“We are grateful there were no fatalities from the three recent terrorist attacks in our region, and that law enforcement now has suspects in custody,” the Rev. Moore said. “But we are also aware that in 2014, the most recent year for which statistics are available, nearly 33,000 people were killed globally by terrorist attacks. That is about the same number as the number killed annually by gun violence in the U.S.” Those planning to participate are asked to bring candles, which will be lit for the final half hour of the vigil.

The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) has hired Stephanie Schwartz as Curator of Collections and Research. Ms. Schwartz joined the staff of the Historical Society in June 2012, previously serving as research assistant and admissions associate. As curator, she now oversees all collections management operations at HSP, including maintaining the catalogue and online database, supervising the care and conservation of the collection, and fielding acquisitions in line with HSP’s collecting priorities. She works with the executive director to develop museum and traveling exhibitions, and continues to manage HSP’s research services and assist with educational programming. “During her time at the Historical Society, Stephanie has delved deeply into HSP’s collection to assist hundreds of researchers, scholars, and residents in answering their Princeton history questions,” said executive director Izzy Kasdin. “Stephanie will carry her incredibly intimate knowledge of HSP’s collection into this new role at the Historical Society. We have big plans for making HSP’s extensive collection a more accessible, engaging, and enriching resource for the Princeton community, and we are so thrilled that Stephanie will be applying her expertise to those priorities. She is a keen researcher, a passionate historian, and a superb archivist; she is perfect for the job and will certainly hit the ground running!” Ms. Schwartz earned her BA in history and a certificate in museum studies at Connecticut College. She recently received her MS in archives management from Simmons College. Stephanie has also worked at HBO, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, the New Jersey State Archives, and the Mercer County Library System.

Question of the Week: “Who are some of your favorite jazz performers?”
(Asked at Sunday’s Jazz Feast on Palmer Square) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)
“Frank Sinatra, because most of his songs have a special spirit in them. He was very involved in his music and had fun when he performed. When you look at him you see excitement about what he does and it really transfers to the public. He preferred to play small stages, he had a direct connection with the audience.” —Bernhard Buchholz, Princeton
Marcia: “Dorothy Ashby, because she really pushed harp in jazz and even in classics.” Sean: “Dave Brubeck and John Coltrane, only because they are so iconic and so prolific and personal and they were at the heart of the jazz movement.” —Sean and Marcia Tucker, Lambertville
“Chris Botti plays the trumpet and has a very contemporary jazz sound. He spans all the ages and ethnic groups. He’s played locally here at McCarter Theater and the State Theater in New Brunswick. I have all of his music downloaded on my phone — he’s a favorite and he’s actually going to be at McCarter on February 15, 2017.” —Pamela and Treg Brown, Princeton
“Tom Tallitsch. I like him because he’s a really good saxophone player. I play saxophone and I look up to him.” —Elene Kinkladze, Princeton
TOWN TOPICS is printed entirely on recycled paper.
“I have three jazz performers that I like quite a bit. First, Hadrien Feraud, who is a bass player originally from France currently living in Los Angeles. He’s pushing the boundaries of electric bass playing and just came out with a really cool new album. I also like Allan Holdsworth, who straddles the line between jazz and rock. He’s a really interesting composer and guitar player and has a very interesting technique and an interesting voice. The third performer is Michael Brecker, who is no longer around — an absolute monster saxophone player who totally changed the face of jazz in my opinion.” —Mike Stanley, Jersey City

Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) will be hosting a day packed full of action and information at the Battlefield, 500 Mercer Street, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. this Saturday, September 24.
TOPICS Of the Town “As we move toward the 240th anniversary of the Battle of Princeton, we want to make learning about the Battle ever more interesting, compelling and, yes, entertaining,” said PBS vice president Kip Cherry. The day will begin with demonstrations of the 43rd Regiment’s Royal Artillery, followed by lectures and
book signings by Patrick O’Donnell, author of the best-selling Washington’s Immortals, and a reenactment of the pistol duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, along with a presentation by Hamilton authority Nolan Asch. Though the duel actually took place in Weehawken in 1804, both Burr and Hamilton have rich local connections. Burr is buried in Princeton Cemetery, and his father was a founder and president of Princeton University when it was still called the College of New Jersey. Hamilton as a young artillery commander is thought to have participated in the Battle of Princeton. Other activities scheduled Continued on Next Page

at the Battlefield on Saturday include demonstrations of military and colonial life, music of the period, Patriot marching, artwork, an exhibit from the National Marine Corps Museum (the first death of a marine in a land battle took place at the Battle of Princeton), a display of American Revolution swords and muskets, interactive map presentations on the Battle itself and the ten crucial days leading up to it, a visit by George Washington, Battlefield tours, tours of the Clarke House and museum and more. Battlefield Society board secretary Roger Williams pointed out that all this excitement is just the start of
the 240th anniversary celebrations. “I’m excited that this is going to be the kickoff for a year of educational events that I hope the community will join us in,” he said. Mr. Williams mentioned that the PBS, with financial support from the state, will be renovating the Clarke House, starting this fall. He added that a special event will take place at the Princeton University Art Museum on October 29 featuring Paul Staiti, author of the newly published Of Arms and Artists: the American Revolution Through Painters’ Eyes. In other developments, the PBS has just launched a major archaeology and historical documents research project, according to Ms.
Cherry. Using federal funds to expand knowledge of the Battle of Princeton, the PBS will be making a presentation to the public and soliciting input on Thursday, October 27 in the Community Room of the Princeton Municipal Building. In the meantime, the PBS is “continuing its efforts on all fronts,” Ms Cherry said, to halt an Institute for Advanced Study faculty housing constr uction project that would encroach on the edge of the Battlefield. The PBS is currently awaiting a response to its appeal of a Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission 2015 decision to approve the housing project and it continues to pursue its law suit under the Clean Water Act. —Donald Gilpin

If you listened to National Public Radio in recent weeks, you may have heard a series by journalist Deborah Amos about a family of Syrian refugees in Princeton. The compelling broadcasts focused on efforts by volunteers from Nassau Presbyterian Church to help settle the family of six, who arrived here last May. Finding the family a place to live, teaching them English, securing work for the father, who is blind as a result of a mortar attack in Damascus — these are only some of the challenges taken on by the church volunteers. For them and other good samaritans in town, helping refugees in need is a kind of moral and spiritual obligation. They do it quietly, without publicity or a call for recognition. At the Jewish Center of Princeton, families from Burma and Nicaragua have been the focus of volunteer efforts for 25 years. Currently, members of the congregation are working to aid a woman from Cameroon who is stranded in this country. At Princeton High School, ten undocumented, unaccompanied minors, some of whom have not been in school since the third grade, are learning English and catching up on life skills via the school’s Welcome Center. Princeton is in the midst of its first-ever “Welcoming Week,” a national event celebrating immigrant contributions to communities throughout the country. The efforts of people like Tom Charles, Sue Jennings, and Beverly Leach from Nassau Presbyterian; Louise Sandburg from the Jewish Center; and Andrea Dinan of Princeton High School have helped ease the transition for refugees from different parts of the world who choose to settle in Princeton. These and other volunteers have worked closely, in some cases, with the town’s Human Services office. “It was empowering to experience the positive impact local government can make and see our office expand in this capacity,” said the department’s director Elisa Neira. “Welcoming these families and assisting the students has set an example of the many ways we can be helpful to our community …. Not many towns have a local human services office and it is important to have these type of supports available locally, and to also engage with residents and community-based organizations.” Helping refugees has become a tradition at Nassau Presbyterian Church, where 10 families from Cuba, Vietnam, Hungary, Bosnia, Burma, and elsewhere have been assisted over the past five decades. “It’s a very comprehensive process,”
said Mr. Charles, who works in the finance world but spends a significant amount of time on resettlement activities. “Finding the family a place to live when they first come is usually for three to six months. But Princeton Theological Seminary has agreed to let them [the Syrian family] rent a home for a year, much longer than we usually need before we find them permanent housing. This is complicated because the man is blind.” Nassau Presbyterian learned of the family through Church World Service, which is one of nine referral agencies in the U.S. for resettlement of refugees. The family was referred to the CWS office in Jersey City, which turned to the Princeton church. “The Jersey City staff reached out to us and described this family, and simply said this would be much more of a challenge for a sponsor than the typical refugee family,” Mr. Charles said. “They couldn’t do it themselves. Nobody in New Jersey could do it. We knew what a challenge it would be, and that we couldn’t say no.” Neither the husband nor the wife speak English, so Mr. Charles’s fellow congregant Beverly Leach has been teaching them English daily at their home. The wife is also working to get a drivers’ license. The four children are in school, and received scholarships to participate in the Princeton Recreation Department’s camp this past summer. “There has been amazing support, from Elisa Neira in Human Services and people in the recreation department,” Mr. Charles said “I think for everybody involved, whether a member of our congregation or any other, there is a sense of spirituality that leads people to want to help others, especially in the context of our current political climate. As a Christian, this is the kind of opportunity that becomes a really important part of your life.” Louise Sandburg divides her volunteer activities helping refugees between the Jewish Center’s Interfaith Resettlement Community and the Latin American Task Force, where she is program director and runs programs such as Ask-a-Lawyer and citizenship classes. The Jewish Center has included the resettlement of refugees as part of its operations since 1991. “Last year we found an agency to allow refugees to come to Princeton, and we resettled a family from Pakistan,” Ms. Sandburg said. “They were part of an ethnic minority called the Ahmadi, and were considered to be heretics. They have since moved to Des Moines, where they have friends.” The synagogue collabo-

rates with other religious organizations such as the Reformed Church of Highland Park on resettling refugees. For Ms. Sandburg, helping the families is a way to bring her own family’s experiences full-circle. “My grandparents were immigrants. Jews have always had to run from horrible situations,” she said. “My grandmother was always talking about running from the Cossacks. And we, today, are so fortunate. We have to help.” The 10 undocumented students currently being instructed in Princeton High School’s Welcome Center are all unaccompanied minors, primarily from rural areas of Guatemala.
“These are kids who have decided to make their way here, alone, because it’s so bad where they are,” said Andrea Dinan, director of Service Learning and Experiential Education. “They’ve been in refugee centers, and they are primarily boys. By the time they show up here, they’ve already had quite a bit of emotional distress.” Some have not been in school for years and have never seen a computer. One student Ms. Dinan worked with didn’t know how to hold a pencil. “They’re not used to sitting, and reading. They’re not even literate in their own language. They’re just acclimating to the experience of being in school,” she said. The Welcome Center spends half a day teaching the students English lan-
guage skills, and the rest on the core classes needed for graduation. Through a PHS program called Fund 101, those who graduate can go to Mercer County Community College. To further understand the situations she encounters, Ms. Dinan has been traveling to Guatemala every year to stay with a host family and work in the local schools. The undocumented students who are on their own come from a different mindset than other Princeton students. “I feel like they’re not really sure what the point of going to school is,” Ms. Dinan said. “The majority of them are sending money home and they think just working 60 to 80 hours a week at a store on Nassau Street is the way to go. So we have people come
and speak to them, showing them there are things to work toward.” The program, which uses the skills of other students who are fluent in Spanish, is working, Ms. Dinan said. “All of the students from last year have returned. I have a lot of students who are second generation Guatemalan or Mexican, and they do a lot of tutoring. They tell me the [undocumented] students are doing well, especially in math. We have two that are starting at Mercer County Community College and one will be at vocational school, so there you go. They’re part of our community, and we want them to be able to participate and be a part of everything.” —Anne Levin

Residents With Interest in Town’s Fiscal Health, Quality of Services, Support Lempert for Mayor
To the Editor: We strongly support the candidacy of Liz Lempert as mayor of Princeton. We have a general interest in the fiscal health of the town and the quality of its services. Our specific interests are parks and open spaces, and special education; particularly autism education and treatments. Pamela has served on the Town’s Environmental Commission and on its Shade Tree Commission. In addition, she has served as president of the Marquand Park Foundation. Roland has served as investment director of the State for over 20 years and finally as State Treasurer, retiring in 2001. From time to time, we have brought our concerns to Liz, in her capacity as mayor, and she has always been open and attentive, and has always made positive recommendations. She has been directly involved with the care of Marquand Park, and she attended special occasions at The Princeton Child Development Institute, a school for autistic children that our family founded in 1970. She provides intelligence and commitment at the highest level to the citizens of Princeton. ROLAND AND PAMELA MAChOLD Prospect Avenue
Mayoral Candidate Peter Marks Explains Why He Is a Republican
To the Editor: Princeton’s Democrats might reasonably ask why they should consider voting for an aging, white, often grumpy, Protestant male — i.e. a stereotypical Republican. Perhaps the beginning of an answer can be found in what I think it means to be Republican. I am the son of a historian who met his future wife at Princeton Theological Seminary. Both cared deeply about people, language, and religion, both became teachers, and both were lifelong Democrats. I cast my first presidential vote for George McGovern, a man whose faith in human decency caused him to trust that public sector employees would tend to act in the public interest — with the result that government would tend to be a force for good.

Fresh Air Fund Volunteers, Hosts, Supporters Thanked for Their Dedication and Commitment
To the Editor: This summer we celebrated The Fresh Air Fund’s 140th summer of serving children from New York City’s low-income communities. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to our extraordinary Fresh Air volunteers, hosts, and supporters in Central and Southern New Jersey for their dedication and commitment. Fresh Air host families open their hearts and homes, and share the everyday joys of summertime with their Fresh Air friends. I am inspired by the commitment of our local volunteer leaders, many of whom are also hosts. They
volunteer to interview prospective host families, help recruit new families, and plan special activities. I would also like to thank the individuals and local businesses who so generously give their time and resources to make The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly Towns Program throughout Central and Southern New Jersey a great success each year. Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million New York City children from low-income communities. Each year, nearly 7,000 children enjoy outdoor summer adventures through visits with volunteer host families along the East Coast and Southern Canada and at The Fund’s five overnight camps in Fishkill, N.Y. Fresh Air children also participate in yearround leadership and educational programs. Contact Colin Reinstedt at (212) 897-8970 or visit www. freshair.org to learn more about hosting a child through The Fresh Air Fund. FATIMA ShAMA Executive Director, The Fresh Air Fund
Stockpiling 3-Day Supply of Food, Other Necessities Is Only Token Preparation
To the Editor: Mercer County Executive Brian M. hughes is to be commended for advocating the stockpiling of food and other necessities against the day when these might become unavailable. [“hughes Urges Residents To Prepare for Emergencies,” Town Topics, Aug. 31, page 6]. I hope all who can will respond to his message and set up emergency supplies of their own. The goal of stockpiling a three-day supply can be attained by nearly everyone. But it is only a token amount of preparation. There are many threats that would cause greater shortages for longer durations. The British people have been told that they are only nine meals away from chaos. The German government has recently advised its citizens to have a ten-day supply of food and water(!) on hand for emergencies. Our Mormons require each family to stockpile a year’s food, in preparation for the next year that the crops fail. When they formulated this rule, no Federal or State government was able to provide emergency supplies. On a large scale, there still isn’t any government that can (remember Katrina?). Now a local government official has implicitly admitted as much, and by doing so now has also implied that the likelihood of an emergency has increased, and the time for action has arrived. We need to fully understand that we are individually responsible for our own survival in a large-scale emergency and that we should be personally prepared for it. RONALD NIELSEN humbert Street

accumulated by people whom my principled banking employers would not have permitted to come through the door; as large organizations thrive despite wasting appallingly large sums of money; and as adventurers earn obscene profits by acquiring and gutting old line businesses — cheapening product lines, discharging legions of employees, and shipping production facilities offshore. And I have watched with increasing dismay as government divides our nation, impairs our economy, obfuscates causes and effects, flouts our laws, and enriches the officials who claw their way to national prominence. In a pattern that is as old as time, federal, state, and municipal officials extract more and more tribute from the populations they govern. Grand sounding laws are enacted. Regulations are imposed. With each new law and regulation we become a little less free. Problems fester; hiring becomes increasingly impractical and/or unaffordable; favored entities are enriched; out of favor entities are savaged; curtailed access to private sector credit throttles our economy; and our elected officials respond by promising more of the same. I agree that big business is often predatory, but so is big government. The premise of big government is that people are pirates at heart and that, if left to themselves, the strong and the wily will prey upon the weak and the gullible. That may be so. But why would anyone believe that the solution is to submit to government by the pirates? In the private sector I at least have the freedom to choose which products, if any, I wish to buy. Government decrees, by contrast, are compulsory. They usually benefit few but their sponsors. And, more often than not, despite grand sounding titles, they compound existing problems. I would greatly prefer to lead my own life, make my own choices, bear the costs of my many mistakes, impose as little as possible on my neighbors, and grant my fellow citizens the freedom to do the same. That, to me, is the essence of what it means to be a Republican. PETER MARKS Moore Street

Celebrating Excellence In Education
Johnson and Williams Event at Berlind Today
I loved watching the Olympic Games this summer! From Simone Biles to Michael Phelps, from badminton to beach volleyball, the Olympics brought together people of different shapes, sizes, colors, cultures, interests and abilities. All had their own stories and pathways to success. For me, the Olympic Games are an inspiration for all of us involved in education. Much like the work we do in schools, they are a celebration of diversity, teamwork, coaching, and accomplishment. As we start a new school year, we welcome a diversity of students into our classrooms. Like the athletes from the Olympic Games, they come with their own interests, abilities, backgrounds and stories. They come with their own hopes and dreams. In the days and months ahead, we will strive to get to know each one. We will strive to engage them as learners. And we will work together with families to coach them to increasingly higher levels of accomplishment. With that work in mind, this school year will be one in which we focus on the broad themes of Differentiation and Diversity. Our goal with differentiation will be to share, explore, and implement best practices in studentcentered learning – ones that ensure students are learning similar concepts but doing so in ways that acknowledge their differing interests, learning styles and readiness levels. Our goal with diversity will be threefold: 1) to celebrate the cultural richness of our community 2) to expand our outreach to ensure all families feel comfortable accessing the resources of our school system 3) to build our institutional and individual responsiveness to students and families from a variety of racial, religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds. We live in a time when empathy towards others and an understanding of different perspectives has never been more important. I am excited for the Princeton Public Schools to be leaders in this effort. And I am excited for all we will accomplish together in the year ahead! Sincerely, Steve Cochrane

With a $500,000 contribution from Princeton University added to its coffers this month, the Princeton Fire and Rescue Squad (PFARS) is a few steps closer to construction of a new $7.5 million headquarters at the former location of Princeton’s Public Works Department between Route 206 and Valley Road. “We hope to start public fundraising by the end of the year,” said Mark Freda, squad president. “The hope is that come May of next year, we might break ground. We have a lot of fundraising to do and we have to go through the town approval process, but we don’t know what variances we need until the right-of-way situation gets resolved.” That situation involves finding out from the New Jersey Department of Transportation exactly where the building can be placed along Route 206. Architects Pacheco Ross Associates, a firm that specializes in emergency response facilities, has been on board with the project since it was first proposed over a decade ago. PFARS outgrew its existing facility on North Harrison Street years ago. Built in 1963 when old-fashioned station wagons were used as ambulances, the building is too small for the ambulance vans, rescue truck special services vehicle and other equipment used by the squad. The office cubicle designed for one person is used by all of the officers. As the town has grown, so has demand for the kind of rescue services the squad provides. Two years ago, Princeton Council approved a proposal to form a partnership with the squad in which the town would get the existing building plus two Cape Cod style houses PFARS owns just behind it, in return for a longterm land lease for the new facility. Princeton will own both properties. The site for the new headquarters, which is directly behind the municipal building and diagonally opposite the town’s fire department headquarters, has been cleared and remediated. PFARS has hired the civil engineering firm Van-Note Harvey for the project. A traffic signal will be installed at Route 206 and Valley Road. “We will also do some improvements to the Cherry Hill Road/206 intersection,” Mr. Freda said. “The town is dealing directly with the DOT, and that’s important because we have to know exactly what improvements they’re doing to those intersections. If they change the width or whatever, that could impact us.” The contribution from the University was part of a deal brokered with the town a few years ago. “Now, we’re at the point where we need to pay for architects, engineers, and others that allow us to start all this work we need to do to plan the building,” Mr. Freda said. “We’ve hired a development officer, and she’s working diligently to get our whole fundraising effort set up and ready to start.” A conceptual drawing of the building exists, but Mr. Freda was reluctant to re-
lease it because the design will likely change. Construction, once it gets underway, could take about 14 months. Regarding the hoped-for groundbreaking date of next May, Mr. Freda said, “It would be extremely optimistic and aggressive to break ground by then, but that’s what we’re going to push for.” Meanwhile, PFARS continues to operate out of its building on North Harrison Street. “We’re using it a lot every day for EMT classes, and all sorts of things,” Mr. Freda said. “It’s pitifully obvious that it’s woefully inadequate.” —Anne Levin
October Event For Rockingham Site
The Dutch Barn at Rockingham, on Kingston/Rocky
Hill Road, will host “George Washington’s Indispensable Men,” on October 1. The talk will be presented by author Arthur Lefkowitz, from his book of the same name. While General Washington was at Rockingham in later 1783, he was accompanied by three officers — Benjamin Walker, David Humphreys, and David Cobb. These three men, hand-picked by Washington, were the last in a long line of officers who served Washington during the course of the American Revolution. Largely unknown and forgotten, these patriots served at Washington’s headquarters as volunteer aides-de-camp and military secretaries. Mr. Lefkowitz’s presentation relates their accomplishments during the Revolutionary War and well into the 19th century. Light refreshments will be available. The museum store will also be open before and
after the programs. Seating is limited; so it is strongly suggested to reserve a seat by calling (609) 683-7132. The event is free but donations are accepted. Visit www.rockingham.net. ———

Two headwater streams, wetlands, and steeply sloping hills make up the tract, which is also home to mature upland beech, oak, and tulip poplars. New Jersey Conservation Foundation approached the township to assist in brokering a deal with the landowner, Thompson Land. The price for the property is approximately $1.05 million, half of which will be funded by grants from the state Green Acres program and the other half by the township’s Open Space Tax.

He’s spending his time with Donald Trump instead of focusing his efforts on finding a solution.” Halting the Carter Road project, which is in Lawrence Township, has had the ripple effect of causing the postponement of reconstruction of two historic bridges on Route 206 in Princeton until next spring, because Carter Road is the designated detour route for that work. Since the county had ordered mater ials such as beams and guide rails before the shutdown orders went into effect, there is a financial consequence as well. “It costs money to stop a project and it costs money to start a project,” Mr. Hughes said, adding that the county appealed to the DOT for permission to move forward with the Carter Road project using TTFA funds but was unsuccessful. “The governor and the
legislature need to find a reasonable way to restore the Transpor tation Trust Fund as soon as possible,” Mr. Hughes said. “Projects have been on hold for more than two months now and people are hurting.” —Anne Levin

“Memories of Change” At Artists’ Gallery
The spaces and people that enable us to grow and thrive, the settings that are beset by transformation or neglect, are the focus of the work by Alla Podolsky and Laura Rutherford Renner at the Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville from October 6 to November 6, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 8 from 4 to 7 p.m. The closing will take place on Sunday, November 6 from 3 to 6 p.m. Alla Podolsky’s work is all about the memories. “I paint memories of places, events, faces, emotions. Fleeting
things. Things that change constantly, even in the ways we remember them. It’s a rush to preserve them, to keep them as experienced. Which is as nearly impossible as it is tempting. Memories tend to change on us, the further we get removed from them, so my paintings are imprecise. They are all about that change, and a way of holding on.” Born and raised in Kiev, Ukraine, Alla Podolsky traces her love of psychological painting to the Byzantinestyle iconography of that city. After emigrating to the United States in 1990, she continued her art education

She continues to paint and develop her voice as an artist. Laura Rutherford Renner is an artist whose paintings on wood depict contemporary life in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Her work has been included in various juried exhibitions and shows, recently as a juried member of Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville, and at the iconic Philadelphia Sketch Club. In addition to her painting career, Laura is a practicing Occupational Therapist (OT) and the published author of several OT biographical articles. She lives in Collingswood, New Jersey. Laura has previously exhibited in Ar tists House Galler y in Philadelphia for nearly 10 years. While Podolsky is a long time member of the Artists’ Galler y in L amber t v ille, Renner is in her first year of this partnership, and this is an exciting opportunity for both artists to have their works exhibited side-by-side.

Often competitive with men, Mildred fiercely resented the limitations imposed on women by traditions of society.

HAM Offering Programs At Hoffman’s Crossing
The Hunterdon Art Museum and the Hunterdon County Educational Services Commission’s (HCESC) campus at Hoffman’s Crossing are teaming up to create an ideal place where art and the environment can intersect. The sprawling campus at the Califon-based Hoffman’s Crossing will allow the museum to expand its already wide variety of classes and workshops. Registrations are now being accepted for fall work-
shops in photography, painting en plein air, encaustic painting, and eco-printing. The museum’s staff of professional artists and teachers will conduct these programs at Hoffman’s Crossing. In addition, future programs focusing on ceramics, fiber arts, and other media will take advantage of several large open rooms in two campus buildings. “HCE S C is excited to partner with the Hunterdon Art Museum in offering arts programming to our community,” said Marie Kisch, superintendent of the HCESC. “Our collaboration allows our organizations to leverage our strengths and work together in expanding our programs for the enrichment of our community.” The campus at Hoffman’s Crossing serves as an on-site academy and field site for partner schools and groups. Its many amenities include a pond and pavilion, a main building that can accommodate 150 guests, and space for classrooms, exhibitions, community receptions, and breakout rooms for professional development. An 1840s barn and pastures are home to alpacas and goats, a center piece of its Feed to Fiber program, a curriculum that integrates animal science, environmental stewardship, and the arts. A nature trail offers acce s s to t he s cen ic Ken Lockwood gorge, and the nearby Columbia Rail trail offers additional opportunities to enjoy the area’s natural beauty.

Nilo Cruz Returns to McCarter With “Bathing in Moonlight,” World Premiere Rich in Romance, Poetry, Religious Conflict
F
ather Monroe (Raul Mendez) welcomes the audience into his church in the opening moments of Bathing in Moonlight, Nilo Cruz’s new play, currently at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre. The smiling priest in his 40s, attractive, warm, addressing his “parishioners” individually as friends, makes his way down the aisle to the stage, where Edward Pierce’s striking set and lighting — with a red cross in the middle of a large stained glass window and latticed wooden screen backdrop — emphasizes the church setting. Father Monroe’s brief sermon, which is a prologue to the play, takes the form of an allegory about inclusiveness, about acceptance of others, even in defiance of Roman Catholic doctrine. “God wants us to remove barriers and walls,” Father Monroe tells us. “In his house we won’t find a fence.” During the next 90 minutes, the priest struggles against the barriers of his religion, as his love for his parishioner Marcela (Hannia Guillen) clashes with his vows as a priest. Set in Miami in 2015, the eight scenes of the play, divide evenly between the church and the house of Marcela, a single CubanAmerican mother in her 30s who lives with her ailing mother Martina (Priscilla Lopez) and teen-aged daughter Trini (Katty Velasquez). Music (sound design by Darron L West) ranging from high liturgical to hot Miami-Cuban rhythms; set and lighting contrasting the somber stateliness and shadowiness of the church with the bright colors of the family home; Mr. Cruz’s juxtaposition of the lyrical/poetic with the more austere, restrained language of the church; and this impressive ensemble of six actors under the sensitive, sure-handed direction of Emily Mann, all help to bring these two irreconcilable worlds to life on the Berlind stage. The production elements come together seamlessly and powerfully. The appealing performers engage the audience in this story more and more as the romance between Father Monroe and Marcela develops. The action flows smoothly back and forth between the church and the house, and never drags. As the play focuses on the conflict of sacred and secular loves, Father Monroe faces the crisis of living in both worlds simultaneously. He describes his turbulent thoughts to his sympathetic but stern bish-
op (Michael Rudko) late in the play: “What am I to do, Father? I have dreams, and yet it feels I shouldn’t dream or accept what I dream of. Three things contend within me: one, my vow of celibacy; two, my longing for Marcela; and three, my commitment to this parish.” As he helps Marcela pay the mortgage, Father Monroe is welcomed more and more as a member of her family. At the same time Marcela, who plays the piano beautifully, but whose family has had to sell its piano, has spent more and more time practicing the piano at church. Music becomes much more than just background to the growing romance between Monroe and Marcela. As they spend more time together flirtation quickly turns to romance and passionate love.
Though highlighting the conflict between love of the church and love for a woman, Bathing in Moonlight is also a play about home, finding a home, and this production represents a sort of homecoming for the 56-year-old Mr. Cruz. Two early plays, A Park in Our House (1994) and Two Sisters and a Piano (1999), were staged at McCarter by the Cuban-born playwright before he gained international acclaim with his Pulitzer Prize-winning Anna in the Tropics, which opened in the Berlind Theatre in 2003. The story of Cuban-Americans in a Tampa cigar factory in the 1930s, Anna in the Tropics, with its echoes of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina, went on to a successful Broadway run, a Tony nomination for best play, and many subsequent productions throughout the country. Mr. Cruz has not achieved a comparable suc-
cess in the ensuing 13 years. Many of his trademark characteristics appear powerfully in Bathing in Moonlight: rich poetic language; a vivid array of characters, Cuban-Americans struggling to be free from poverty, societal restrictions or other barriers to happiness; an element of magical realism, seen here in Martina’s fantasy encounters with her deceased husband; and a lyrical, romantic, musical quality along with a serious moral conflict. Bathing in Moonlight, however, though providing an engaging, entertaining evening, does lack the complexity and depth of Anna — missing out on the levels of significance in Anna in the Tropics’ connections to Tolstoy’s classic novel. Also, as powerfully conceived and skillfully portrayed as the two main characters (Father Monroe and Marcela) are, the anguish of a priest struggling with the conflict between divine and earthly love is hardly a new concept. Other issues in the play, involving the return home of Marcela’s brother Taviano (Frankie J. Alvarez) for the first time in two years, the fantasy world created by Martina in her imagined rendezvous with her late husband (also played by Mr. Alvarez), and Trini’s aspirations to study marine biology and create her own light, all offer promising, interesting ideas — material perhaps for future Cruz plays, but they are not extensively developed here. “There was always an air of tenderness and warmth,” Martina reminisces, as her mind returns to the long ago days of her youth in Havana. “The giggles of men and women would travel from windows and balconies, past the blinds, through the iron grill and down to the sidewalks, overflowing the streets with the pleasure of the senses ….” r. Cruz’s play captures, in the words, actions and spirit of his characters the aura of old Havana that Martina remembers. Amidst this pleaFORBIDDEN PASSION: Father Monroe (Raul Mendez) visits Marcela (Hannia Guillen) and her sure of the senses — the rich visual, audistruggling Cuban-American family, but his pastoral kindness turns into much more, in Mc- tory, poetic imagery of Nilo Cruz and this Carter Theatre’s production of Nilo Cruz’s world premiere of “Bathing in Moonlight” at Mc- lavish McCarter production — no wonder Carter’s Berlind Theatre through October 9. (Photo by T. Charles Erickson) the austerities of the church seem so easily overpowered when Father Monroe seeks “Bathing in Moonlight” will play at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre, 91 University to remove fences and walls in pursuit of Place in Princeton through October 9.

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Opens Season With Two Sparkling Versions of “Seasons”
T
here is always an air of freshness at the start of a new musical season — the night air is crisp with the coming of autumn and audiences are eager with anticipation of what the new season will bring. Princeton Symphony Orchestra began its 2016-17 season a bit early this year with a concert last Thursday night which was definitely a breath of fresh air — and an approach to Antonio Vivaldi which Princeton audiences likely have not heard before. Last Thursday night’s performance at Richardson Auditorium featured 20 instrumentalists of the Princeton Symphony, led by conductor and solo violinist Daniel Rowland, performing the four three-movement concerti which comprise Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons), interspersed with a four-movement work on the same theme by 20th-century Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla. Mr. Rowland led the Symphony with energy and verve, showing the contrasting styles of works two centuries apart and the capabilities of the Symphony strings in what was definitely high-speed Baroque. Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is one of the most beloved works in orchestral repertory, and a hallmark of the Baroque period of music. Chipper melodic themes and colorful programmatic orchestral writing make these concerti lively and challenging for players. Conversely, Piazzolla’s orchestral music is rooted in the rich Argentine dance tradition and is particularly geared toward the bandoneon, a Latin American concertina used extensively in tango ensembles. Piazzolla originally composed Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires) for bandoneon, describing the work as “musical portraits of Buenos Aires throughout the year, its buildings, its grey skies, its nostalgia and its crowded alleys.” Piazzolla’s Seasons was transcribed for solo violin and strings in the 1990s, and Mr. Rowland has spent the past ten years showing audiences worldwide how well Piazzolla’s and Vivaldi’s seasonal works go together. Rather than pair “Spring” with “Spring” and so forth, Mr. Rowland kept the seasonal cycle moving forward by opening the concert with Vivaldi’s “Spring,” followed by Piazzolla’s “Summer in Buenos Aires.” The members of Princeton Symphony, accompanied by harpsichordist Raphael Fusco and led by Mr. Rowland, began Vivaldi’s
“Spring” very quickly — almost too quickly at times. Soloist Mr. Rowland and concertmaster Basia Danilow chased each other with melodic motives and quick themes, accompanied by fast and furious playing from the lower strings. Throughout all the works on the program, Mr. Rowland found drama in the music, encouraging the Symphony to take time at cadences and emphasize ornaments not often heard in Vivaldi’s Seasons. Conversely, Piazzolla’s “Summer in Buenos Aires” had a feeling of nostalgia which was well conveyed by the Princeton Symphony, with an immediate atmosphere of a lively city. Mr. Rowland’s solo line was more jagged than that of the Vivaldi work, and the overall orchestral palette was rich and full of color. Each of the movements of Piazzolla’s Seasons ended with an homage to Vivaldi in melodic phrases orchestral texture, providing an opportunity for the Symphony musicians to be a bit playful. As the musical “seasons” rolled along, Mr. Rowland maintained solid communication with the ensemble players, often moving around the stage to home in on a particular instrumental section. The quick passages of both composers’ works were very quick, and the song-like contrasting sections were soft and intense, with solo lines the audience had to reach to hear. Mr. Rowland particularly drove the other players through the fast rhythms and unified jazz style of the Piazzolla movements. As soloist, he was often paired in elegant musical duets with principal cellist Alistair MacRae, especially in Vivaldi’s “Autumn.” Harpsichordist Mr. Fusco had a chance to shine in the middle movement of Vivaldi’s “Autumn,” leading the string players in what seemed to be a musical soliloquy for harpsichord. rinceton Symphony Orchestra played these two works as an unintermissioned concert, maintaining impressive intensity and flow throughout the performance. When the final movement of Piazzolla’s “Spring” closed the concert, linking back to the opening Vivaldi “Spring,” Princeton Symphony brought out well Piazzolla’s fiery melody, contrasted with the composer’s quirky Vivaldi recollection on the harpsichord, as the lights in Richardson went down to bring this dual-century and timeless seasonal survey to a close. —Nancy Plum

RECORD REVIEW
Serving Up a Jazz Feast for Slim Gaillard’s 100th Birthday We were sort of talking a new language. —Slim Gaillard (1916-1991) sked by the editors of TIME to define the last word of his catchy line of word jazz, “the flat foot floosie with the floy-floy,â€? guitarist, pianist, and Johnny Appleseed of jive Slim Gaillard made the comment about “a new language,â€? suggesting that the “floy-floyâ€? was just “extra businessâ€? — “you got the whole dance right there; you’re swinging. See what I mean?â€? While Gaillard may seem less immediately noteworthy than other 2016 jazz centenarians like guitarist Charlie Christian (remembered in the August 24 issue), trumpeter/band leader Harry James, and Moondog (“the Viking of Sixth Avenueâ€?), he was a singular, many-faceted figure who put the jazz life into words. People dismissing his 1938 hit record as a nonsensical novelty item should ponder the fact that it was considered worthy of a place next to John Philip Sousa’s “The Stars and Stripes Foreverâ€? and George’s Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blueâ€? in the time capsule buried at the gateway to the 1939 New York World’s Fair. Another Gaillard performance that should be in any jazz culture time capsule is “Slim’s Jam,â€? where he jive talks his hungry way through the song (“bring me a double order of reetievouties with some hot sauce on itâ€?), greeting the musicians Slim-style as they arrive, notably Charlie Parker (“Well lookit Charlie Yardbird-aroonieâ€?) and Dizzy Gillespie (“Lookit Daz-Mac-kibbon vousohroonie with his trumpet thereâ€?). Kerouac Sees Slim Slim Gaillard not only influenced Jack Kerouac’s “bop prosody,â€? he makes a cameo appearance in On the Road, doing his thing in a San Francisco night club: “a tall, thin Negro with big sad eyes who’s always saying ‘Right-orooni’â€? and “does and says anything that comes into his head. He’ll sing ‘Cement Mixer, Put-ti Put-ti’ and suddenly slow down the beat and brood over his bongos with fingertips barely tapping the skin as everybody leans forward breathlessly to hear ‌. Then he slowly gets up and takes the mike and says, very slowly, ‘Great-orooni ‌ fineovauti ‌ hello-orooni ‌ bourbon-orooni ‌ all-orooni ‌ how are the boys in the front row making out with their girls-orooni ‌.’â€? Sitting down at the piano, he “hits two notes, two C’s, then two more, then one, then two, and suddenly the big burly bass-player wakes up from a reverie and realizes Slim is playing ‘C-Jam Blues’ and he slugs in his big forefinger on the string and the big booming beat begins and everybody starts rocking and Slim looks just as sad as ever, and they blow jazz for half an hour, and then Slim goes mad and grabs the bongos and plays tremendous rapid Cubana beats and yells crazy things in Spanish, in Arabic, in Peruvian dialect, in Egyptian, in every language he knows, and he knows innumerable languages.â€? Gaillard spoke not only his personal lingo (he published a “Vout-O-Reeneeâ€? dictionary), but by his own account, Spanish, German, Greek, Arabic, and Armenian.
A
He was born 100 years ago in Cuba, his mother Afro-Cuban, his father a German Jew who took him on a world voyage at the age of 12. As he tells it in the documentary Slim Gaillard’s Civilization, he was “accidentally� left behind on Crete, lived there a few years, picked up some Greek, worked a ship to Beirut, landed in Detroit at 15, never saw his parents again, and moved to New York City, joining up with Slam Stewart and his singing bass to record jive classics that can be found on the Columbia compilation, Slim and Slam, The Groove Juice Special. According to the liner notes, the team was broken up by World War II, during which Gaillard saw combat in the South Pacific and won
special commendation as a signal corpsman and airplane mechanic while Stewart was playing bass with Art Tatum and Erroll Garner. The Purple Owl The bebop whimsy of Gaillard found further expression in purveyors of the music like Al Jazzbo Collins (1919-1997). On certain sultry summer nights in the mid50s when jazz and New York felt like a single element, you could listen to Jazzbo on WNEW broadcasting from the Purple Grotto, two and a half stories underground with Harrison, the long-tailed purple Tasmanian Owl. According to Collins, the studio “was painted all kinds of tints and shades of purple on huge polycylindricals which were vertically placed around the walls of the room to deflect the sound. It just happened to be that way. And with the turntables and desk and console and the lights turned down low, it had a very
the star attraction. There at the head of the table playing just for us, so it seems, is the Elf, Erroll Garner. A small man, yes, but as soon as he begins playing, he’s huge, he’s everything, the place, the night, the city. The wonders he’s working on the piano make the table hum and the lights go brighter and there’s a strange noise, as if a beast were foraging somewhere, growling and grunting — the sound of the pianist, it turns out, urging himself along with a weird undersong, crude and earthy compared to the great gushing fountain of music that seems to hang suspended in the air as his left hand strides through the hushed intervals with the odd lagging rhythm unique to Garner, the excited heartbeat of live jazz in the quick of the moment when I first sensed what I know now to be true, that the piano is to other instruments as Shakespeare is to other writers. “In Our Raptureâ€? Thoughts of Shakespeare and the piano bring thoughts of poet C.K. Williams, who died a year ago yesterday. In “Beethoven Invents the Species Again,â€? a poem dedicated to Richard Goode, the pianist with whom he shared a recital in one of his last public appearances, he mentions not only Beethoven but “Mozart also and Bach and Schubert Chopin Ella and Woody and Miles,â€? and “Beethoven’s piano listen again how the notes knit together then the chords/how the melodies climb the beckoning rows of their scales and we’re lifted once more to coherence ‌ caught by contained and spun from the music that embodies these ever unlikely connections/ while in our rapture at being transformed again into musical selves a note a chord at a time we exist/as we knew all along thank you Beethoven thank you the rest we should have and now once again do.â€? Heresey or Harisseh? This being the week after Sunday’s Jazz Feast in Palmer Square, Slim Gaillard’s propensity for food-based vocalese is worth a footnote. In addition to the “double order of reetie-voutiesâ€? in “Slim’s Jam,â€? as well as potato chips, chicken, matzoh balls, gefilte fish, bagels, chop suey, etc, etc., his song “Yip-Roc Hereseyâ€? is improvised on items from a menu he might have seen in Beirut: yabra (stuffed graped leaves), harisseh (a semolina dessert and/or a spicy pepper/tomato relish in Morocco), kibbeh bi-siniyyeh (a dish of meat and bulgur), lahm mishweh (grilled meat). o matter, jazz and music go together like love and marriage. Shakespeare says it best, by way of Duke Orsino in Twelfth Night, “If music be the food of love, play on.â€? —Stuart Mitchner
cavelike appearance to my imagination ‌. You never know where your thoughts are coming from, but the way it came out was that I was in a grotto, in this atmosphere with stalagtites and a lake and no telephones.â€? Though Jazzbo’s spoken-word records lack the witty swinging spontaneity of Gaillard joyrides like “Yip-Roc-Heresey,â€? he introduced the language to a new generation in a series of 45 rpm singles he called “Grimm Fairy Tales for Hip Kids.â€? In Jazzbo’s version of “Snow Whiteâ€? she’s “a real sharp chick,â€? the stepmother “flips,â€? and the seven dwarfs hang out in a rib joint.

CINEMA REVIEW
Joseph Gordon-Levitt Plays Snowden in Cloak-and-Dagger Drama
E
detail the extent of the NSA’s surveillance of American citizens, in direct contradiction to a recent denial — given under oath — to Congress by James Clapper the nation’s Director of National Intelligence. Because the articles identified Snowden as the source of the information, he immediately became the subject of an international manhunt. He somehow managed to evade the dragnet and boarded a commercial airliner bound for Moscow, even though his passport had been revoked and the U.S. had requested his extradition from Hong Kong. Upon landing in Russia, Snowden was awarded temporary asylum and has remained there ever since. However, this movie has revived interest in his case, and he has recently make a public appeal for clemency. A presidential pardon is unlikely to be forthcoming, even though President Obama considered the apprehension of the “29 year old-hacker” a very low priority in June 2013. So today, Snowden remains a fugitive from justice charged in absentia with theft, espionage, and conversion of government property. Through a series of flashbacks, we are informed by the film that Snowden was a high school dropout who suffers from epilepsy. He also has a lasting relationship with Lindsay Mills ( Shailene Woodley), his girlfriend who followed him from Virginia, to Hawaii, and then to Moscow. The movie portrays Snowden as a patriot who was willing to jeopardize his future in order to blow the whistle on the NSA’s violations of our constitutional rights. Excellent (HHH½ stars). Rated R for profanity, sexuality, and nudity. In English and Russian with subtitles. Running time: 138 minA SOLDIER IN THE U.S. ARMY RESERVES: Edward Snowden (Joseph Gordon-Levitt, center) served utes. briefly in the Army Reserve as a candidate for the Special Forces unit, however, he dropped out Distributor: Open Road before completing the training. He subsequently became a high level operative in the NSA and Films. was valued for his considerable expertise with computer related security issues. —Kam Williams
arlier this year, the film Citizenfour won the Academy Award in the Best Documentary category. But because the movie made less than $4 million worldwide, one might reasonably conclude that the details of Edward Snowden’s (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) release of National Security Agency documents is relatively unknown. This is perhaps the reasoning of Oscar-winner Oliver Stone (Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July), who turns the story into a cloak-and-dagger drama about the NSA whistleblower’s leak of classified information who then went into hiding from the U.S. government. The movie unfolds in June of 2013 in a Hong Kong hotel room where Snowden met with journalists Glenn Greenwald (Zachary Quinto), Ewen Macaskill (Tom Wilkinson), and Laura Poitras (Melissa Leo), the director of Citizenfour. After four days of interviews, Greenwald published his first story in the British daily newspaper, The Guardian. The Pulitzer Prize-winning series related in stunning

Dusty, The “Store Cat” Is a Favorite With Customers At Popular Smith’s Ace Hardware & Housewares
F
amily-owned and operated, Smith’s Ace Hardware & Housewares has been a favorite with customers since its opening in the Princeton Shopping Center in 2002.
IT’S NEW To Us
Owner George Smith and his brothers are proprietors of four ot her hardware stores, including the original Yardville Supply Company opened by the Smith brothers’ grandfather. Yardville Supply is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. In honor of the anniversary, Smith’s Ace acquired a new truck, explains Mr. Smith. “It’s a 1948 red Ford truck, and the customers love it!” Hardware stores are not only a necessity, they are appealing and entertaining. All those tools, gadgets, and intriguing miscellany! And now, Smith’s Ace Hardware & Housewares is even more entertaining. The arrival of Dusty, “The Store Cat” last March has been a boon to business. With 3,000 customers each week, the store is now welcoming even more eager visitors, who come in
to see the friendly nine-yearold gray tabby with beautiful green eyes. 24/7 Mr. Smith adopted Dusty from SAVE last March, and as he says, “I went over to SAVE, and looked at several cats, and we decided on Dusty. He was so friendly. Everyone here is a cat person, and the customers are very happy with him too. A lot of people were surprised when we first got him, and now they look forward to seeing him. “He lives at the store, and is here 24/7. People have brought him toys, and he finds many different places to take a nap. He also likes to follow some of the customers around the store.” In fact, he has become such a favorite that some people come in just to visit with Dusty, adds Mr. Smith. “Some parents bring in their kids, who are allergic and can’t have their own pet. But they can spend a little time with Dusty. Also, an animal can be a great stress-reliever. Just petting one can be helpful and calming. “We get here before eight in the morning, and he is ready for breakfast then,” continues Mr. Smith. “And, with 18,000 square feet in the store, he has plenty of room to roam about and find

those special hiding places that cats love.” In addition to visiting Dusty and exploring the myriad hardware and housewares items, customers will find an outstanding fine art supply department, which was added to the store last November. Under the supervision of Judy Jaquith, the department offers a wonderful selection of art supplies for the beginner to the advanced and professional artist. “I suggested to George that we should add art supplies, There was a need for basic artist-grade art supplies in the Princeton area,” explains Ms. Jaquith, who was formerly with an art supply store in Cranbury, and who is an accomplished watercolorist. All the Basics The selection includes a variety of products from Daler-Rowney, an art company established in England in 1783. “We have all the basics at reasonable prices,” reports Ms. Jaquith. “Water colors, acrylics, oil, and water mixable oil paints, oil tubes and sets. We also have drawing pencils, charcoal, water color pencils, and pastel pencils. FW Artists Inks, including bottles and sets, which can be used for highlighting oils or water colors, for air
brushing or drawing, are also available.” A wonderful variety of brushes in all sizes and styles (shorter handles for water colors, longer handles for oils and acrylics) is on display, and they are sold individually or in sets. All the paper needs, including hard-bound and spiral sketch books in several sizes, colored paper drawing pads, and water color blocks, are all in stock, as are stretched canvases in different sizes, and canvas panels, also in assorted sizes. “In addition, we have water color travel sets and post cards,” reports Ms. Jaquith. “You can paint when traveling and send a friend a special postcard that you have painted. Another favorite is our selection of coloring books for adults.” Both table and floor easels are available, and there is a selection of palettes and assorted palette knives (metal and plastic), and tear-off palettes for oil painting. Indeed, everything for painters at every level, including artist aprons, is part of the artistic array at Smith’s Ace. First Time Ms. Jaquith is always available to help advise customers about the variety of items, and she enjoys helping customers who may be new to painting. “I am very happy to assist customers if they want help.

FAVORITE FELINE: “I’d recommend getting a cat to anyone,” says George Smith, owner of Smith’s Ace Hardware & Housewares in the Princeton Shopping Center. “It’s great having Dusty in the store. He keeps the mice away, and everyone loves him.” Dusty, shown in one of his favorite perches, is the new “star” at the popular store. (Photo by Jean Stratton) be thinking about getting back into painting or taking it up for the first time. We have starter kits in oil, acrylic, and water color for beginning artists. I often suggest that beginning painters start with acrylics. They are easy to work with, dry faster, and are also easy to clean up, just with soap and water for the brushes. “One thing I like to tell people is to paint as if the paint is free,” she adds. “You don’t want to be constrained. You want to feel free and creative. It’s also fun to mix different colors together. A painting holds together when different colors are mixed.” Ms. Jaquith is pleased that the numbers of customers appreciating the art supply department are increasing and include all ages. “It’s wonderful to see the kids getting involved. Some schools don’t have art programs, and so the kids can come here and get an art set and start painting at home. There are wonderful sets available. This can be a great gift. We also offer a 20 percent discount for students and members of the Princeton Arts Council.” Creative Outlet Painting offers many benefits, emphasizes Ms. Jaquith. “It’s a creative outlet, and it provides a real sense of accomplishment to express something that is just you — how you feel today. It is very personal.
“Also, painting can be therapy for people of all ages with problems. It is an important way for them to express themselves and what they are feeling. It can be a release.” Mr. Smith is very pleased with the addition of the fine art supply department, and as he points out, “There is no other hardware store like ours in the area, of our size and quality, or with the art supplies that we have. “One of the things I love about Princeton is the diversity of customers,” he adds. “We have people coming in the store from all over, from many different countries. I like to ask them where they’re from and how they feel about the U.S. Our customers are a real mix and cross-section, including celebrities, professors, and lots of regulars. “We always try to fill customers’ requests and keep their needs uppermost. We work hard to offer the best service and quality products at reasonable prices — from 19 cents to $1,000, and everything in between! It’s a great mix of products in a very wide price range. And, of course, now we have Dusty, who is our star!” Smith’s Ace Hardware & Housewares is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday 8 to 5, Sunday 9 to 3. (609) 4304300. —Jean Stratton

hether the event is a cocktail party for 25, dinner for six, or a wedding reception for hundreds, Joe Canal’s Discount Liquor Outlet will provide the necessary advice, professional expertise, and quality products to make it an evening to remember.
IT’S NEW To Us
Located in the Mercer Mall, Route One South in L aw renceville, the store is one of 15 Joe Canal’s outlets in New Jersey. A franchise, owned by Mark Hutchinson, it is now celebrating its 15th anniversary in the Mercer Mall. Specializing in a wide selection of wine, beer, and spirits at discounted prices, it offer customers an amazing number of choices. “We are set apart by our wide selection, our customer service, and our expert and helpful staff who are very knowledgeable about all the different products,” says store manager Toni Carver. “While many of our customers have their favorite wine or beer, lots of them enjoy trying something new. They trust our palates, and our advice and knowledge regarding the new lines that come in.” Wine Tasting Researching new tastes is one of the pleasures of her post at Joe Canal’s, explains Ms. Carver, who has been with the store nine years. “Recently, I had a nine-day trip to France for wine tasting, and we also went to Spain on a similar trip. I love my job! “We have wines from all over the world, as well as from local wineries in New Jersey and the area. Among domestic wines, Acre 21 is a newer blended wine, which has become a favorite from Washington State. Another popular item is Palazzo Della Torre, a red blend from the Allegrino Vineyard in Italy.” French wines are always popular, adds Ms. Carver, citing in particular, Chateau Grand Moulin, a Bordeaux. White and red wines are available from many countries, and customers are often knowledgeable and have their favorites. “Whites tend to be more popular than the reds in the summer, and also, rosé is a summer favorite. Now, that we’re getting into fall, we’ll be heading into reds. We have wine experts who help customers with recommendations, and we’ll help orga n i ze we dd i ngs, bar mitzvahs, and other events. We will advise customers on which wines are appropriate with particular dinner menus, how many bottles for the number of guests, etc.” A complete range of wines from all the major companies worldwide is available, and in addition to California and New York, other winemaking states include Washington, Oregon, and closer to home, New Jersey. Internationally, wines from Spain are especially popular now, points out Ms. Carver,
as are those from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Chile, Argentina, Germany, and of course, France and Italy. After Dinner Champagne is never out of favor and always important for special occasions. Among the sparkling wines, Prosecco from Italy is gaining in popularity, enjoyed both for its pleasing taste and reasonable price range. C ord ia ls a n d l iq u e u r s remain in vogue as after dinner sipping drinks, and Elder f lower liqueur and grapefruit liqueur are in demand, along with the old favorites : Kaluha, Grand Mar nier, Drambuie, and of course, brandy and cognac. Beer and ale aficionados are not disappointed at Joe Canal’s. A very large selection, including craft and micro-breweries, is in stock, with choices to appeal to every taste. There is also a special “Mix-a-Six” section, in which a six-pack can be filled with different beers. “Octoberfest is coming up, and we have an entire line of pumpkin beer,” reports Ms. Carver. “We have a lot of micro-breweries, including Dogfish Head, Riverhorse, Dark City, Departed Soles, and local breweries, among others.” For c u s to m e r s w h o s e tastes are more in tune with mixed drinks and spirits, a complete selection is available — from scotch, bourbon, and whisky to gin, vodka, rum — and even that British favorite Pimm’s No. 1. (Definitely not found everywhere). “Cocktails are more popular than ever,” says Ms. Carver. They have really staged a comeback. Manhattans, Old Fashions, sours, etc., and certainly martinis, which have always been in style.” “The” Bourbon “The changing tastes of customers over the years is really interesting, especially the comeback of cocktails and the increasing popularity of bourbon,” continues Ms. Carver. “The challenge is keeping up with all the new products, and making sure we have what the customers want. We also take special requests and fill special orders if we don’t have the item.” The tremendous interest in bourbon today has been a major event, she adds. “We now offer so many different bourbons, and we will have the extremely popular Pappy Van Winkle. This is in such demand that we hold a raffle for customers who want it. We never know just how many bottles we will receive. This is definitely ‘THE’ bourbon that people want.” Jo e C a na l ’s c u s tom er base continues to grow, she points out. “We have a very loyal following. There are lots of regulars, and I enjoy the customer service so much. I love my customers! I know what they like to drink, and they are really like friends.” In addition to its regular reasonable prices, Joe Canal’s offers a ‘Bottle Club,’ a special discount program. There is no cost to customers
to join, and they receive discounts on all purchases, including 10 percent off a case of 12 bottles, which can be mixed and matched. Products are conveniently arranged in the store according to category, and in the case of wines, by country and type. A selection of mixers, as well as olives and cheeses, wine accessories, wine bags, and assorted gift items, is also available. Hours are Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sunday 9 to 7.

Princeton Football Edges Lafayette in Season Opener, Led by Rhattigan’s Hard Running, Opportunistic Defense
P
rinceton University football head coach Bob Surace will tell you that senior running back and tri-captain Joe Rhattigan is the strong and silent type. “It is amazing, not many people get named captain who don’t say much,” said Surace. “It is a testament to him and his effort and the respect the players have for him. As coaches, we love guys like that, they just play hard, they don’t say much. The team responds to effort, not words, and Joe is a guy of action.” Last Saturday against visiting Lafayette in the season opener, the powerfully built 6’0, 215-pound Rhattigan was in the middle of the action, rushing for a careerhigh 136 yards on 22 carries and three touchdowns to help the Tigers prevail 35-31 before a crowd of 13,420 at Princeton Stadium. Rhattigan was at his bulllike best in the closing stages of the contest when Princeton ran out the clock with 5:22 left in regulation, clinging to the four-point lead. He rumbled for 22 yards on five carries as the Leopards never got the ball back. In his matter of fact style, Rhattigan shrugged off his role in the final drive as he culminated a career day. “The mood in the huddle
is get the play done, do your job and finish the game,” said Rhattigan. “I have worked hard every day since the season began and we’ve worked hard as an offensive unit. It is really not about me, it is about the guys up front and they blocked tremendously hard tonight. I think that showed.” Opening night contained some anxious moments for Princeton as it trailed 14-7 and 21-14 before knotting the contest at 21-21 by halftime. “It was about coming out on the second half and playing Princeton football,” said Rhattigan. “It was getting back to playing fast and playing hard, like we have been practicing all training camp.” Surace credited his defensive staff with making adjustments to slow down Lafayette and quarterback Drew Reed in the second half. “I think coach (Jim) Salgado and coach (Steve) Verbit did a great job; we were putting our corners at a little bit of risk and their quarterback was on fire, he threw the ball today unbelievably well,” said Surace of Reed, who passed for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. “They mixed our coverages up and rushed with four men and our rush got better. We were able to get there
with four men and the guys in the back were able to see the ball. Instead of playing man to man they were facing the quarterback and played the ball real well. I thought the pressure got better, I thought we had some guys really, forcing him into some more incompletions and interceptions.” Senior linebacker Luke Catarius, who had a gamehigh 13 tackles and a key third quarter sack, thought the defense got better and better as the game went on. “It was just the first game for us, shaking off the cobwebs,” said Catarius, reflecting on a defensive effort which saw Princeton hold the Leopards to 60 yards rushing and force two turnovers in the second half. “We settled in nicely in the second half. I don’t think they were getting the ball off as fast as they were in the first half. I think us stopping the run game helped so they had to rely on their passing game and all around we played well.” After a late defensive lapse by the Tigers when Lafayette marched 80 yards on seven plays and made it a 35-31 game on a touchdown pass by Reed with 5:27 left in the fourth quarter, the Princeton offense was determined to show a killer instinct. “We come out on that last drive and coach (James)

Perry gets in the huddle and says we are going to run the ball and we are going to finish,” recalled Surace, crediting senior quarterback Chad Kanoff for coming through in the clutch by hitting John Lovett for a 10-yard completion when Princeton was facing a critical third down and nine situation with 2:06 remaining in regulation. “You saw the guys eyes just light up, like yeah we can do this, we believe. That was good because they had stopped us the previous couple possessions. To have the offense run the ball that hard and close the game out, it is like having closers in baseball with Joe, Johnny (Lovett), and Charlie (Volker).” While getting the victory over the Leopards was good, Surace knows the Tigers have plenty of room for improvement as they get ready to play at Lehigh (1-2) on September 24. “Every win is important, we know how hard it is, we only get 10 games,” said Surace. “There is no ugly win, you play, and you correct it. Win or lose, you make corrections. To me, when you win, that is a great time to make corrections because you feel good. Lehigh is going to see us on film and they are going to know the spots we weren’t good at and they are going to attack us that way.” Rhattigan, true to form, isn’t about to get carried away by the opening day triumph.

“It definitely sets a tone,” said Rhattigan. “We want to get better, you have to be playing your best football in week 10. Tomorrow we have
corrections to go through; we are going to hit it hard and get ready for next week’s game.” —Bill Alden
After losing its first two games, getting outscored 4-1 in the process, the Princeton University men’s soccer team found itself locked in a 0-0 stalemate in the second half against No. 22 Rider last week and needing a lift to avoid a 0-3 start. Moving senior defender Greg Seifert to forward, the Princeton attack came alive, notching three goals and pulling away to a 3-1 victory. Seifert scored the last two goals of the contest, tallying at 78:16 to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead and then adding an insurance goal four minutes later. Princeton head coach Jim Barlow saw the win over Rider as a major step forward after the rough beginning to the season. “Rider is a really good team, they had us on the ropes a lit t le bit,” s aid
Barlow. “We decided to put Seifert up there to give us a little more of a threat to get behind the defense and get on the end of things. Seifert wound up doing well, he took an assist from Dan Bowkett for the winning goal. Then after that, when Rider started pressing, he got behind them for the last goal. It was a good response from our guys, it gave them some confidence, beating a really good team that hadn’t lost yet.” Last Friday against visiting Boston University, the Tigers produced another good effort as they rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to earn a 2-1 victory. Senior midfielder Vikram Pothuri got the Tigers on the board, finding the back of the net just three minutes af ter the tally by the
Terriers. “Shortly after they went ahead, we got a restart and Mark Romanowski hit a long restart to the top of their box, Ben Martin got up and won the header and Vik onetimed it out of the air over the keeper’s head, it was a really nice goal,” said Barlow. “Vik wound up not starting that game so it was great to see him deal with the fact that he wasn’t in the starting lineup. He came in off the bench and within his first 10 minutes, he scored a goal. He played great the rest of the game also.” The Tigers held the fort after that, keeping their shape on the defensive end. “BU is a very good team, they were Patriot League champions last year and they have pretty much everybody back from last year’s team,” said Barlow. “They are really solid, they had the ball for good stretches and they had some good chances. They had a lot of shots but they didn’t have a ton of really great
goal scoring opportunities. Our team defense was pretty solid throughout the game. I thought our guys covered a lot of ground, especially Brian Costa and Matt Mangini in the midfield. They did a great job keeping it together.” The game-winning tally came on a great effort by precocious freshman midfielder Ben Martin. “We scored a really good goal to go up 2-1, it was a pass from Henry Martin to Bowkett and then Bowkett saw Ben Martin make the run from behind the defense and played it behind the defense. Ben just beat the goalkeeper and scored from a tight angle.” The combination of freshman Marin and junior Bowkett has jump-started the Tiger attack. “It is great to see Ben stepping up and giving us a big boost,” said Barlow of Martin, who was later named the Ivy League Player of the Week and the Ivy League coRookie of the Week for his heroics. “He is athletic, he has got good speed. He has got a nose for the goal. He has been able to cover a lot of ground and it has been a
real pleasant surprise that he has been ready to step in so quickly and contribute. Bowkett is a really clever passer and he has great ability to deliver the ball the right way and at the right time. He sees a lot of things on the attack.” With two straight wins, Princeton is poised to make a run. “We are a lot further along now than we were a week ago in every aspect, in our ability to go forward effectively, and our team defending,” said Barlow. “I think we are a little bit tighter defensively. I think there is a little more confidence and I do think the group understands what kind of things are our strengths like our ability to defend in the midfield and then when we win it, to get forward quickly, and create chances on the run.” Barlow is looking for his team to get even better in limiting scoring chances by its foes. “The next step we have been talking about is just trying to get through games with shutouts,” added Barlow. “We haven’t been able to do that yet, we are hoping that we can just continue to
tighten things up defensively and get through games without conceding.” Looking ahead to a home game against Fairleigh Dickinson University (2-5) on September 24, Barlow is hoping Princeton can keep on the winning track. “We still feel like this is one of the deepest teams we have had here, we have been playing a lot of guys, especially in the attack,” said Barlow, citing the play of Seifert, Jeremy Colvin, Will Lentz, and Sean McSherry at forward along with the midfield work of Martin, Bowkett, Pothuri, Harry Heffernan, Bryan Prudhil, and Bryan Windsor. “We have a bunch of guys who give us different options, all of those guys have played and contributed. In different games, I think we are going to need different people to step up and help us get the job done. This past week was a step in the right direction.” —Bill Alden

With the Princeton High football team locked in a scoreless tie in the second quarter at Hightstown last Friday evening, Isaac Webb caught the ball in the flat and decided it was time for him to make a breakthrough. “I saw the end zone and it was let’s do it, why not,” said receiver Webb. “It was my first TD as a varsity player as a sophomore. It was a great feeling.” Webb, though, was not content to stop there with the 46-yard scoring play. “It is go out and get more, always do better,” said Webb, recalling his thoughts as he crossed the goal line. The 6’2, 180-pound Webb lived up to those words, going on to make six catches for 177 yards and four touchdowns on the evening as PHS rolled to a 33-0 win over the Rams. Wit h PHS hav ing lost 33-6 to Pemberton in its season opener a week earlier, Webb and his teammates were hungry to get into the win column. “We came into practice this week with a different kind of mindset,” said Webb. “We are 0-1 and this team was also 0-1 so we felt one team is going to come out 1-1 and we handled business with a great victory that was very well played on both sides of the ball.” Webb has developed a good connection with junior
quarterback Vince Doran, who ended up hitting on 12-of-15 passes for 271 yards and five touchdowns in the win over the Rams. “Vince is a great quarterback, he knows what he is doing all of the time,” said Webb. A friendly competition with classmate and fellow receiver Aiden Sarafin has also helped to spur Webb. “Me and Aiden are great friends, we are in the same grade and have the same classes together,” said Webb of Sarafin, who had three catches for 57 yards and a TD against Hightstown. “We had to battle it out, he scored one so I scored one. I always want to one up him and show him what it is.” Showing his elusiveness in the open field, Webb raced 55 yards on a broken play for the final touchdown of the evening, getting some help from his friend Sarafin. “It was supposed to be a run to my side and I was supposed to be blocking,” said Webb. “Vince and me made this good eye contact and I was hey throw the ball if you want to and he threw the ball. I caught it and ended up in the end zone. I saw the kids on my tail and Aiden came to block for me.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher believed his team had a mismatch in its favor

when it came to the receiving corps, spearheaded by Webb, Sarafin, and junior star Jakob Green. “In the end, I thought we matched up well against these guys in some positions,” said Gallagher. “T hey were sting y up front, their linebackers were good and they were getting after it. Having said that, on the outside, our wide receivers were good and they are young.” While PHS had trouble get ting rolling as it led 7-0 at halftime, Gallagher thought the team got into a rhythm as it scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter to break the game open. “We thought it was there, we were saying how stuff was there but at the same time maybe we were being a little too patient,” said Gallagher, noting that the PHS running game got going as sophomore Carson Giles rushed for 76 yards with some big runs down the stretch. “We would like to get 14 or 21 in the first quarter but we were trying some different things and then it just started to click.” Gallagher credited lefty quar terback Doran w ith being a catalyst for the Little Tigers. “Vince did a great job, he spread the ball around, he was under some duress and he was able to fire some balls in there, which was great,” said Gallagher. “We are happy with how is he progressing, he’s going to get better.” On the defensive side of the ball, PHS showed major progress, holding the Rams to 51 yards passing and 95 yards rushing in posting the shutout. “Coach D (defensive coordinator Steve DiGregorio) is a great coach, we all know that,” said Gallagher. “He is dialing up the right blitzes, the right combinations and these guys are playing well. He has got the kids doing what he needs them to do in practice and it is translating into the games really well.” With PHS playing at WW/ P-N on September 23, Gallagher is hoping that his team can build on the win over Hightstown. “We have things to clean up and I think they are correctible so we can get that done,” said Gallagher. “We will focus on that. Both teams are coming off a win so that is a confidence boost for them. We have got two teams at 1-1, looking to go above 500 and hopefully we are that team.” Webb, for his part, believes that the Little Tigers are going in the right direction. “After starting 0-1, we really felt distraught; we didn’t really know what was going to happen,” said Webb. “Getting this victory is great, we have a great confidence boost.” —Bill Alden
IS ON
Gaining Confidence From 2 Victories Over WW/P-S, Undefeated PHS Girls’ Tennis Primed for MCT Run For the Princeton High girls’ tennis program, overcoming perennial power and nemesis WW/P-S has proven to be a tall order through the years. PHS has been in the running for many a county and district title, only to be denied by the Pirates. This fall, however, the Little Tigers posted a pair of wins over WW/P-S in the first two weeks of the season, defeating the Pirates 4-1 on September 9 and then prevailing 3-2 in a rematch last Wednesday. In the view of PHS head coach Christian Herzog, earning the victories over WW/P-S did wonders for his players’ self belief. “It was a huge confidence builder, particularly with our history against South (WW/P-S),” said Herzog. “It has always been that some years we get pretty close and then it is a letdown so it was good to see the girls be triumphant in their play.” Winning round two was a critical step forward as the Little Tigers displayed some grit to go with their talent. “It was a little closer the second go-around; some of the girls had a little trouble getting the job done but most importantly they eked it out,” said Herzog. “It was a tough match to watch when you are ahead so much and slowly it is getting away from you and you are losing it a little bit. They made it happen at the very end, that is what counts.” In Herzog’s view, good camarader ie among the players has helped PHS make good things happen this fall. “I like the way they have come together and jelled as a team, they are real supportive of each other,” said Herzog, whose team defeated Nottingham 5-0 last Friday to improve to 6-0. “We definitely got lucky with some young talent coming in.” PHS boasts young talent at the top of the lineup with freshman Samantha Singer playing at first singles. “Sam is willing to grind, she wants to show and improve her play every match; every point she is trying to prove herself,” said Herzog. “It is not one of those ones where you get kids that come in and it is just an expectation. She is willing to show every match that she deserves her spot. She likes to hustle it down to every point, you want to rally for 30 balls, she will do it.” At second singles, senior Elise Gerdes has been a steadying presence for the Little Tigers. “Elise is just a great personality overall, a great kid to have on the team,” said Herzog, noting that Gerdes has been affectionately nicknamed “Elise the Beast” by her teammates for her spirited play. “She is ver y vocal in cheering on her teammates and enjoying the moment. As a senior, she is ahead of the game in terms of reflecting on this is my last opportunity to do this, so let’s make it worthwhile. She re-
minds the other girls, this is her last hurrah at Princeton High so let’s work together, I want to accomplish what we can as a team.” Freshman Spencer Watts looks like she will be accomplishing a lot at third singles this fall. “Spencer is a rock at No. 3, she has got the whole game,” asserted Herzog. “She is aggressive, she approaches the net. She is not one of those players who sits back on the baseline for a half hour. She wants to take it to the net and put it away with a nice volley. She has good sportsmanship, many coaches have already said that she is one of the nicest girls they have ever met.” Herzog likes the positive approach that senior Maggie Herring and freshman Nicole Samios are taking at first doubles. “Pressure doesn’t really get to them, they don’t sit there and cringe,” said Herzog. “Even if things aren’t going as well, you will still see a smile, you will still see them slap each other’s hands, and say let’s get this going. I think that Maggie helps out being a senior, she keeps it positive. I think it is good combination as far as personality and skill sets; they complement each other.” After losing her singles spot, senior Brinda Suppiah is combining with sophomore Adriana Todorova to make an impact at second doubles. “Most seniors could be thinking, this is a not so great, I lost my position to a freshman and there would be some animosity but there is not,” said Herzog. “She said I am willing to work to try to better myself in doubles so that I can play in this varsity lineup. I tried her with Adriana in the first two matches and they did very well. Adriana, a lefty, is a stronger doubles player than she is at singles and she complements Brinda, who is really good on the baseline. Overall they make a good pair. That is the reason we won the last South match, it came down to them and they won.” Herzog, for his part, sees no reason that his team can’t be in the running for the title at the upcoming Mercer Cou nt y Tour na ment. “They are looking forward to the MCT and to try
Rider
Furniture
to prove themselves,” said Herzog, whose team has a match at Ewing on September 23 before starting play in the MCT on September 26. “I said ladies as long as you bring your game and play to the best of your ability, we have as good a shot at taking this thing as anybody else. They are buying into that and focusing on the positive and worrying about the things they can control. You can’t control who you get in the draw so let’s not stress about that and just worry about playing to the best of your ability.” —Bill Alden
Why Are Crabgrass and other Grassy Weeds Thriving This Year?
With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES
In case you have not noticed, summer weeds are thriving this year. Although many lawns have been treated with pre-emergent products this spring, the rains did not stop. The continued flow of moisture during May helped to move the herbicides slightly below the seed zone level, thus making them less effective. This has allowed many weeds to grow through the herbicides that were used due to the excessive moisture. Weeds and weed control is a delicate balance. Much of the nitrogen applied to the turf in the spring may have moved beneath the root zone as nitrogen is water soluble. This shift helped steal some of the vigor from the turf. Following all of this rain were extremely hot and humid periods in August causing turf to decline and brown in areas throughout many lawns, golf courses and playing fields. Fall aeration and overseeding will be very important this year to help get lawns back to a healthy condition for next spring. As you may know, Woodwinds has partnered with Organi-green for Lawn Health Care. For those who haven’t signed up, or are interested in signing up for the OrganiGreen Lawn Health Care Program, we are happy to put together a program specifically for your property. Call us at

Sparked by Lindenfeldar’s Finishing Touch, PDS Field Hockey Looking Dominant at 5-0 After not scoring a goal in her first two seasons on the Princeton Day School field hockey team, Gretchen Lindenfeldar has mastered the art of finishing this fall. Last week, the junior forward tallied a goal in a 2-0 win over South Hunterdon on September 12 and then added three more tallies in a 7-0 rout of Academy of New
Church (Pa.) last Wednesday. “I am very much a cherry picker,” said Lindenfeldar. “Whenever someone gets it across into the circle, I try to move the ball around the goalkeeper and get it in.” In t he w in over A NC, Lindenfeldar scored midway through the first half to give PDS a 2-0 lead and
then added two more tallies in the second half to notch her first career hat trick as the Panthers cruised to victory. “We played on Monday on grass so coming back to turf was definitely much easier,” said Lindenfeldar. “We had a good m inds et. Coach ( Heather) Farlow, coach (Charlotte) Craddock, and
coach (Mary) Sisson have instilled in us a very attacking mindset as opposed to our defensive mindset we had in the previous seasons.” Lindenfeldar was not surprised that PDS kept rolling after building a 3-0 halftime advantage. “I feel like we are a second half team ; we really have great people who can get it up quickly through the midfield like Gwen Allen and Eva Petschnigg,” said Lindenfeldar. “Once they start going, it gives the forwards more momentum to get it in.” Continuing its great start to the 2016 campaign, PDS improved to 5-0 with a 5-0 win over the George School (Pa.) last Friday. “I feel that we have a really strong team, all the way from our defensive backs to center forward,” said Lindenfeldar. “Everyone is working together, we have a really good team dynamic.” PHS head coach Farlow has been emphasizing a more dynamic offensive approach this fall. “We have really tried to think offensively, getting into the offensive 25 and creating all the opportunities,” said Farlow. “Last year we had to focus a lot on defense to stay in games and this year because the girls have more experience and they are playing outside of school, we are really able to focus more on offense.” Lindenfeldar’s new-found scoring production reflects that focus. “It is confidence for Gretchen and being able to work with her on things like improving her specific movement inside the circle,” said Farlow. “Charlotte has been wonderful; she knows her from club so they had a good relationship coming in. She said I haven’t scored in two years and we told her you are going to score a lot this year. She got that first one and now she believes in herself.” Sophomore standouts Allen and Val Radvany have shown a greater self-belief, forming a potent one-two punch for the Panthers.
FINISHING TOUCH: Gretchen Lindenfeldar goes after the ball in action last season. Junior forward Lindenfeldar has emerged as a key scoring threat for the Panthers this season, tallying a goal in a 2-0 win over South Hunterdon on September 12 and then adding three more goals in a 7-0 rout of Academy of New Church (Pa.) last Wednesday. The Panthers, who improved to 5-0 with a 5-0 win over the George School (Pa.) last Friday, are slated to host Peddie School on September 22 and Blair Academy on September 24 before playing at Northern Burlington on September 27. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “They contributed a lot last year, offensively and stuff but they are just so much more confident,” added Farlow. “They are not afraid to get the ball, they not afraid to shoot. When they step on the field, they don’t think of themselves as sophomores. They have matured a lot.” PDS has also stepped up at the defensive end, starting the season with five straight shutouts as freshman goalie Lexie Hausheer has starred in the cage. “The defense is in synch and then we have a transfer student, Eva, who is playing left back for us and doing well,” said Farlow, whose team outscored its foes 26-0 in its first five contests. Building on a late surge in 2015 that saw the Panthers go 5-2-1 down the stretch, Farlow believes her squad is primed for the tests ahead. “We are young and we are doing some really nice things,” said Farlow, whose team is slated to host Peddie School on September 22 and Blair Academy on September 24 before playing at Northern Burlington on September 27.
“We know we are going to have a tougher schedule in October, that will be the real test. I think last year they thought we have just got to keep the score down because they had a tough season the year before. This year, it is like no, we are going to win. We capitalized on the last half of the season last year and just kept going forward. I think that we can be competitive, very competitive.” Lindenfeldar, for her part, is confident that PDS can keep on the winning track. “We can play really well,” said Lindenfeldar. “We still have some tough opponents to come. I think we can make a name for ourselves.” —Bill Alden

In recent years, the rivalry between the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team and Hun has been heated, producing a slew of tightly contested one-goal games. Last week when the local foes met for their annual clash, there was added spice as PDS was facing Hannah Bunce, its former star and the leading scorer in its run to the state Prep B title last fall as she transferred to Hun this year. The Panthers hit the field at Hun riding some extra emotion. “We were pumped, we were ready,” said PDS junior defender Madison Coyne. “We had a big psyche, we were USA today. We were all in USA stuff, we had face paint. We had to wash it all off before we came here so we didn’t look like dummies.” After the teams played a scoreless first half, PDS cleaned up over the final 40 minutes, tallying two unanswered goals by Brooke Smukler and Damali SimonPonte to earn a 2-0 victory. Going against their former teammate, the Panthers were looking to make a statement. “We love Hannah; she has always been a great person and an amazing player,” said Coyne. “Today was a day that we showed that we are not a one-man team. We were able to come out and beat an amazing team with the core players that we had from last year.”
In Coyne’s view, the second half surge ref lected PDS’s ability to adapt and its talent all over the field. “I think we had to get into the groove ; we normally practice on turf and this is a little bit different,” said Coyne. “We got used to it on the second half. We still had the possession that we needed to really bring it together. Brooke’s finish was amazing; Damali took that line drive and just played it into the corner.” Three-year starters Coyne and star goalie Grace Barbara held the PDS defense together as usual. “We have played together for six years; we play on different club teams now since this past year,” said Coyne, who is headed to George Washington where she will play for its women’s soccer team while Barbara is a Princeton University commit. “She has been my best friend for a really long time; we work together so well. I look forward to playing with her. If there is a one-on-one with her, I know she is going to stop it. I have full confidence in her.” Coyne also possesses the confidence to go forward with the ball, displaying her offensive prowess by blasting a touch off the indirect free kick that led to the first PDS goal. “What I do is I sweep, I try to lead as much as possible,” said Coyne. “I try to pump people up. I try to be an outlet for people who need help. If there is a long run

and I have to make it, I am going to make that run. If I can, I will take the ball up and try to take a shot.” PDS head coach Pat Trombetta cited Coyne’s leadership on the back line as a key factor in the team’s success. “Madison is like a quarterback on the field, directing play in the back,” said Trombetta. “We have five or six backs that we can put in that game and she controls everything. We are deep there. She works real well together with Grace.” In Trombetta’s view, the Panthers are star ting to come together better at the offensive end. “Maddie McCaw is a playmaker in the center of the field and Damali gives the attack from the width and she can drive balls in on crosses and cutbacks and go to goal,” said Trombetta. “She is a threat from the outside. We are going to control play, it is the finishing that is our biggest concern. Damali had a beautiful finish for that second goal today. The first goal was a little flukey but Madison almost finished it off the get-go but we had girls crashing the net like we work on in practice and Brooke was there to finish it off.” With PDS having won two straight Prep B championships and the 2013 Mercer County Tournament crown, the players saw the Hun game as a chance to prove that they are still a title threat. “The kids said that we want to prove that we are more than a one-man show from last year and I think they came out today and showed that they are a total team,” asserted Trombetta, whose team improved to 4-0 with a 5-1 win over Rutgers Prep last Saturday and will look to keep on the winning track as it plays at Peddie on September 22 before hosting Blair Academy on September 24 and South Hunterdon on September 26. “The defense played well, midfield controlled play and we had some opportunities up top.” Coyne, for her part, believes that the Panthers have the opportunity to do some big things this fall. “It is still about keeping composure and being able to win these big games so people know that we are here for business,” said Coyne. —Bill Alden

PDS Girls’ Tennis Produces Superb Start, Showing Upbeat Mentality, Competitive Fire While Ed Tseng is pleased to see his Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team pro duce a 3 -1 s tar t, he is more impressed by the approach his players have been taking this season. “I think the No. 1 thing is that it really is a nice group of girls, everybody gets along and ever yone is supportive of everyone else,” said PDS head coach Tseng. “ We a r e h a v i n g f u n . Also, we set the tone every season and we say look we are going to give our best effort every single day in practice and matches.” PDS is getting a good effort from sophomore Sydney Vine at first singles. “We are happy having her at that spot; she has been working really hard, which is great,” said Tseng. “She is going to do some great stuff for us this season.” Junior Arya Jha and senior Tour ia Salvati have been giving the Panthers some great stuff at second and third singles, respectively. “Arya has some experience from playing on the team before ; she is definitely a strong girl,” added Tseng. “Touria is our lone senior t h is ye ar; she has b een playing a lot as well and is actually playing quite well. We are pret t y conf ident having her out there.” At first doubles, junior Tarika Kumar and freshman Grace Marshall are gaining confidence at the season goes on.
“I put them together and they played really well together and have been jelling,” said Tseng. “T hey star ted t he season strong. They have had some really great matches and have showed that they c a n c o m p e te w i t h a n y one.” Junior Emma Dries and sophomore Guilia Gerschel are competing well at second doubles. “Guilia played last year and Emma was kind of a swing player between varsity and JV,” said Tseng. “Even through they are a little bit less experienced, they love to compete. They leave it all out there. They are both ver y athletic so
that is a huge advantage.” With the Mercer County To u r n a m e n t c o m i n g u p later this month, Tseng is hoping that his squad will leave it all on the court at that event. “It is always a good competition, I think it is re a l ly up for g rabs t h is year,” said Tseng, whose team is slated to host Hill School (Pa.) on September 21, Peddie School on September 22, and the Blair Academy on September 24 before starting play in the MCT on September 26. “Ever y year, regardless of whether teams are up or down, I am always in the mindset of let’s try to win the counties and the preps. It is sports so anything can happen.” —Bill Alden

In the Wake of Disappointing Loss to PDS Hun Girls’ Soccer Primed to Bounce Back Joanna Hallac was pleased by the way her Hu n S cho ol g irls’ s o c cer team per for med in the first half as it hosted Princeton Day School last week. T he local r ivals were locked in a scoreless tie at halftime in the September 13 contest, with Hun generating some superb chances by Nicole Apuzzi and Bryonna Worthy. “I thought in the first half we were more dangerous,” said Hun head coach Hallac. “We had bet ter looks at the goal.” But after PDS got the benefit of a controversial obstruction call in the box which led to an indirect free kick and a goal off the rebound for the Panthers midway through the second half, things went downhill for Hun as it fell 2-0. While Hallac was upset by t he of ficiating decision, she acknowledged that her players were on their heels for much of the second half. “It is disappointing when
referees insert themselves into games that way and impact it but it is like I told the girls, we had opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on,” said Hallac. “Referees don’t decide games, our play does. They were the better team in the second half, they took it up a notch and we just didn’t match it.” It was disappointing for Hun to not have the services of junior star forward and University of Miamibound Kara Borden, who was sidelined for the PDS game with a leg injury. “That makes a big difference,” said Hallac, referring to Borden’s inability to take the field. “She draws so much attention that having her in the game easily could have opened somebody else to have an opportunity. She is the kind of player that makes things happen.” Junior midfielder Apuzzi and sophomore transfer Worthy tried their best to make things happen offensively. “I did like the way they
played, Worthy is a nice addition,” said Hallac of Worthy who scored along with Abby Gray and Shannon Dudeck as Hun fell 5-3 to Germantown Academy (Pa.) last Thursday to fall to 0-2-1. “A p u z z i i s a l w a y s a d a n g e r o u s p l ay e r, s h e had that shot in the first half; Grace Barbara made a great save for them to keep it out.” I n Ha l lac’s v ie w, h er players need to keep their heads up to get on the winning track. “It is disappointing but we w i l l le ar n what we need to learn and will go forward from here,” said Hallac, whose team plays at East Brunswick on September 24 and at Pennington on September 27. “There is a lot of season left. It is a long season so we will bounce back from this.” —Bill Alden

After Overcoming Challenges in Opening Day Win, Hun Football Fine-Tuning for Test in New England While it may appear that things came easily for the Hun School football team as it rolled to a 38-13 win over Royal Imperial Collegiate of Canada in its season opener, the Raiders faced a number of challenges in the encounter. Entering the September 10 game, Hun didn’t have as much time as usual to prepare for the game. “It felt a little rushed this year,” said Hun head coach Todd Smith. “We don’t usually open up as early as that week but we had a real tough time finding games this year so we had to take them where we could get them. Everything got jam packed a little bit. I thought it was a pretty good camp for the amount of time we spent.” On game day, both teams were in a jam, having been subjected to a dangerously hot af ternoon w ith temperatures in the 80’s and humidity of more than 80 percent. “It was hard; we lost two linemen by halftime, both of them had to go to the hospital with heat exhaustion,” said Smith. “Our AD Bill Quirk really did a great job, he stepped in and took over. We had them into ice baths, we did everything right, and we got them to the hospital and got them fluids. It was ridiculously hot that day; if we weren’t playing a team from Canada we probably would have moved it to Sunday.” Hun’s ability to move the ball on the ground with the one-two punch of sophomore Josh Henderson and post-graduate Tucker Strycharz made the difference as the Raiders were able to wear down Royal Imperial despite the depleted line. “We knew Josh was pretty special last year, he didn’t get a chance to run the ball as much as he wanted,” said Smith, who got two touchdowns on the ground from
Henderson with Strycharz rushing for one. “He has really worked hard over the summer, he has put on 10 pounds, he has improved so much with his speed and his leadership. His overall development is tremendous. He was complemented very well by Tucker Strycharz; he is a post grad for us from Virginia. He missed his whole senior season due to an injury. I think it is great to see him back, running around and making plays. He has a chance to be a special football player.” The Hun defense complemented the running game, stiffening up in the second half. “They got a little more comfortable,” said Smith, reflecting on the defensive effort. “We have got a healthy rotation at defensive back right now and we got a lot of new faces in the linebacker corps. All three linebackers are new and they are all coming together. Our defensive front is extremely strong and I thought our kids did a great job. When you lose a kid like Fred Hansard for basically two quarters of the game it is hard but they did a great job filling in for him.” In the trenches, the Raiders got big efforts from two newcomers, post-graduate Dante Diaz-Infante and junior transfer Jordan Morris. “We have t wo special kids,” added Smith. “Our middle linebacker, Dante Diaz-Infante is a post-grad from Arizona and he played really well for us. Jordan Morris did a great job, he is a new defensive tackle who we brought in from Burlington Township.” W hile Hun played well enough to win in the opener, Smith believes his squad just scratched the surface of its potential. “I think the kids understood we still have a lot of
room for improvement,” said Smith. “Our big message coming in was the only team that was going to stop us that day would be ourselves. It got to that point right when the third quarter started where it was 16-13 and they were within range of making a score. Our kids responded real well, we went down the field in three plays and scored a touchdown. We didn’t look back from there, we stepped it up on both sides of the ball and dealt with the heat and with the injuries and got out of there with a win.” Getting a bye week after the opener, Hun had some ex t ra t i m e to f i ne -t u ne things. “We got back to the basics on some things,” said Smith. “Basically, we took a poll with the kids on Monday; we had them make a list of the things that they weren’t comfortable with, things the kids still had questions about and felt they needed to work on and we went from there. It has been great, we are starting to throw and catch a little better. We are looking ahead to next week, being healthy with a little momentum.” T he R aider s w i ll face another challenge in their next game as they head to Hartford, Conn. to play at Capital Preparatory Magnet School on September 24. “We have seen them on film, they look very athletic, they have a good quarterback and great running back,” said Smith. “Their last game was a little bit of a shootout I think they won 56-45 so they can put some points on the board. When you take a group of kids and put them on a bus and stay in a hotel the night before and get up the next day for the game, it is a lot for the kids to deal with. We have to be able to take it in stride, take it quarter by quarter, and we will be fine.” —Bill Alden

for the community to gather and to share, ask the tough questions and learn from each other. “In our work at G ood Grief, this open engagement is the best form of preventing unhealthy choices during hard and painful times. When we come together as a community and support each other we are better able to support Owen’s parents and siblings, who face a long road and need us to step up and be with them.” At Princeton High School (PHS), teachers shared the news of Owen’s death with students in classrooms last Thursday morning, and guidance counselors and other trained professionals have been available throughout the school and across the district to provide support for students and adults during the past week. In a note to the school community last Thursday, Superintendent Steve Cochrane said, “The entire district mourns this loss, and we recognize that many of our students may be affected by it. We encourage parents to contact our schools if they feel their child may be especially affected and could use additional support.” Mr. Cochrane’s letter also mentioned local community resources, including Trinity Counseling Service, Pr inceton Psycholog ical Center, LLC, Good Grief, and Jewish Family and Children’s Services. PHS principal Gary Snyder expressed t he deep sorrow felt throughout the community and the School’s efforts to be supportive of students and adults. He explained that, in addition to counselors on hand at PHS, there had been help f rom John Wit herspoon Middle School counselors, teachers, and nurses, who know many of the 9th graders. Community counselors from Corner House and other school districts as well as local clergy have also come in to help the students and faculty.
Guidance counselors and the school psychologist will be going into 9th grade classes this Thursday to talk with students, and next Wednesday, September 28, there will be a special evening presentation and forum, led by George Scott from the Traumatic Loss Coalitions for Youth, where parents and other adults can get information and ask questions about traumatic loss. —Donald Gilpin

David F. Ruiz
David F. Ruiz passed away suddenly, unexpectedly but peacefully, on August 15, 2016 from cardiac arrhythmia while at his beloved work place, The International Student House (ISH) of Washington D.C. He was 49 years old. Born in New York City, David grew up in Princeton, attending Princeton Regional Schools from Kindergarten until his High School graduation in 1984. David was an honors student at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst majoring in history. David later went on to receive a Master Degree in international affairs from George Washington University in Washington D.C. During his time as a graduate student David lived at the International Student House. After a short stint working as a researcher, David returned to the International Student House in 1996 taking a position as their business manager. However, in time, David’s role grew far beyond that. The inception for ISH of Washington, D.C. began in 1934 when a small group of Quakers explored how they might make a contribution to peace and a better understanding among people of diverse national backgrounds. They believed that contributions to real peace could result from contacts between ordinary people, particularly young adults. This was a mission that was dear to David and, in his role at ISH, David became a powerful global ambassador and friend to people from every corner of the world. His kindness, and gentle soul touched the lives of countless individuals. Through the friendships he made David also had the oppor-
tunity to travel around the world extensively including through Europe, Asia, and the Americas; over the years every page of his passports became full of stamps from different lands. David was known for his gentle and humble demeanor as well as his quiet but dry and sarcastic wit. He was also well known for his epic walking abilities and would regularly walk many miles at a stretch. He even ran the New York City Marathon in 2003. In his spare time David was an avid movie-goer attending nearly every opening night showing. He was also a staunch supporter of the arts, attending nearly every large production and independent theater performance throughout the D.C. area. David was also a supporter of several causes including the Human Rights Campaign and the Democratic Party. David leaves behind his mother, Rosalia Ruiz of Princeton; his father Teofilo Ruiz (and spouse Scarlett Freund) of Los Angeles, California; his brother Daniel Ruiz (and spouse Maria Bruno Ruiz) as well as a niece, Sofia and nephew, Mateo who adored him. David also leaves behind his grandmother, aunt, his five cousins, and their families as well as many, many good friends. A well-attended memorial service was held for David on September 10, 2016 at The International Student House. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up in David’s honor to support the mission of The International Student House. Contributions in his name can be made to the International Student House, 1825 R Street NW, Washington DC 2009.

Religion “Taste of Italy” Event to Benefit Senior Care Ministry
The Senior Care Ministry of Princeton (SCM) will celebrate 30-plus years of community service with A Taste of Italy, a dinner and wine-tasting at Tre Piani Restaurant, Thursday, November 3, 6 to 9 p.m. This year’s event will honor Ray Wadsworth, Carol Olivieri, a n d D or ot h e a’s H o u s e. The Master of Ceremonies will be Tom Murray, one of
Pope Francis’s pilots during his 2016 U.S. tour. Proceeds from the evening will go toward supporting the work of the SCM. The Senior Care Ministry, first established in 1984 under the aegis of St. Paul Church, Pr inceton, now serves the wider community as an independent non-denominational organization. A pioneer in the “aging in place” movement, the SCM helps seniors remain safely in the comfort of their own homes as long as possible by providing “simple neighborly acts of kindness.” The SCM organizes a network of some 50 volunteers to assist approximately 70 clients with rides to healthcare related appointments, er r a n d s, s hoppi ng, a n d friendly visits. Former Mayor of Princeton Township Jim Floyd has observed that the SCM is “a true friend that I rely on …. I sincerely appreciate the kindness and concern demonstrated by staff and volunteers alike.” The SCM’s services are offered free of charge. T he honorees for t his year’s Taste of Italy exemplify service to the community. Ray Wadsworth is a community advocate, volunteer, businessman, and chair and co-founder of the Spirit of Princeton organization. Under the leadership of Carol Olivieri, executive director of SCM from 1993-2013, the organization flourished, tripling the number of volunteers and clients served. Dorothea’s House, founded in 1913 to minister to the needs of Italian immigrants in Princeton, is now an Italian-American cultural institution offering a wide range of programs open to all. For information on sponsorships and tickets to A Taste of Italy, email info@ seniorcareministry.org, or call ( 609 ) 921- 8888. Funded almost entirely by private donations, the SCM is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.

We are proud to present this custom home in Princeton’s Western section. Across from the Seminary and University, and a stone’s throw from Town, this property is full of surprises. The professionally designed grounds feature specimen plantings, mature trees, and, above all, privacy. The elegant living room, with raised ceiling, is 28 feet by 25 feet --- entertain to your heart’s content! Featuring lower bookshelves crafted by a master builder, and plenty of wall space above for paintings, books, and photographs, this room is simply extraordinary. Glass sliding doors to a screened porch, having three skylights and volume wood ceiling, provide an extension to the living room, and lead to the glorious grounds. The formal dining room also opens to the porch, creating a fantastic flow from room to room, culminating in the private garden. The eat-in kitchen, with wood floor, has a wonderfully efficient design, and even a serious chef will find it a delight in which to work. Butler’s pantry/ laundry room has space for storing your fine china and glassware, and a service entrance to the garage and back yard. On the main level is also a study with built-in bookcases and paneled walls. Bright and airy, this room is a real joy in which to work. An adjacent bedroom has access to a full bath, which opens to the hall, and is perfect for guests. The master bedroom is generously sized, with two walk-in closets, each having built-in drawers. Ensuite, of course, the bath has a separate shower and tub. Upstairs, you will find the creme-de-la-creme of in-home libraries, being 42 feet long, and having custom shelves. A separate study offers the option of a family/TV room, and a private bedroom, away from the madding crowd, has it’s own full bath. There is also another bedroom. Plenty of storage completes the second floor. An enormous basement picks up the slack for items you might want to keep, and don’t want to bring upstairs. It is also perfect for that workshop you have always wanted. An opportunity like this does not present itself very often. $1,300,000
