Tests Still Pending On Contaminants At AvalonBay Site Officials in Princeton are still waiting to learn the results of testing regarding contamination at the construction site of the AvalonBay rental community on Witherspoon Street. Piles of dirt have been covered up and are being wet down daily, and activity has ceased while testing is done regarding the presence of PCBs and PAHs, revealed earlier this month. “We have not received an update today,” municipal administrator Marc Dashield said on Monday afternoon. “However, we anticipate that we will receive some information sometime this week. We continue to monitor the situation on a daily basis.” AvalonBay has sent out samples for secondary testing. Princeton officials met with the Department of Environmental Protection about the situation early last week. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyl; and PAHs, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, are both considered dangerous health risks. During an update on the situation at a meeting of Princeton Council September 15, Mayor Liz Lempert said that work at the site was stopped originally because of an accident when a worker fell into an elevator shaft on August 11, before officials were made aware of the presence of harmful chemicals. Council President Bernie Miller commented about communications from the developer. “We’re frustrated by the lack of information from AvalonBay,” he said. “The silence, the absence of a cooperative working relationship really concerns me. We need to make it clear to them that the worst thing they can do in a situation like this is to sit on whatever problem they’ve got and not be forthcoming about it. When they do it, people begin to think, what is the worst case I can be faced with?” Municipal engineer Bob Kiser said that he has been in touch with the developer. “They have said they will share test results with us and the Whitman firm,” he said, referring to environmental consultant Ira Whitman, whose company is monitoring the construction activity. “And Whitman has people on site every day to make sure it’s properly maintained.” Anita Garoniak, who lives very close to the site, asked how the situation came to the town’s attention. “We’re very concerned as neighbors,” she said, adding Continued on Page 16

Council Postpones Parking Ordinance

Princeton Council has tabled an ordinance that would have set new rates for the Spring Street Garage behind Princeton Public Library. At a meeting on September 15, the governing body decided further investigation is needed before a vote is taken on the measure, which proposes eliminating the library’s policy of two hours free parking for cardholders and replacing it with one hour free parking for all. Currently anyone parking in the garage gets a half hour for free. One purpose of the ordinance would be to stop those noncardholders who abuse the policy by getting their tickets stamped in the library, allowing them to have two hours of free parking. “The world is full of cheaters,” said resident Deborah Thomas, one of several members of the public who spoke against the policy. Changing the fees would be an unfair “bait and switch” that would penalize less affluent library users who count on the two hours of free parking, she added. Resident Howard Silbersher said he took an unofficial survey of library patrons, asking them what they thought of the proposed ordinance. Six were in favor, 50 were not, and mothers with small children who make extensive use of the library’s programs were particularly upset and angry at the prospect.

Council President Bernie Miller recalled that when the library was expanded and rebuilt more than a decade ago, there was considerable debate about whether to relocate it to the Princeton Shopping Center or rebuild on its footprint in the downtown. “Those who contributed to the construction of the library were promised by both municipalities [former Borough and Township] that if the library was located at its present location on Witherspoon Street, library cardholders would receive two hours of free parking in the garage,” he said. “That is the context of where we are today. That context needs to be considered when we take a look at the fee structure.”

Princeton Public Library director Leslie Burger said there was a misconception that the library was anxious to stop having to validate parking tickets. The library, which installed a self-validation machine last May, is willing to continue the validation process and keep the two-hour guarantee for cardholders, she said. When free parking was temporarily suspended in 2007 because the former Borough and Township could not agree on the subsidy, attendance at the building “plummeted,” Ms. Burger recalled. “After 12 months the Borough and Township agreed to provide two hours of parking in perpetuity.” She added, “I’m all for barrier-free access to Continued on Page 15

Plans Still Uncertain for Post Office But Retail or Restaurant Expected By about November 1, Princeton’s branch of the United States Post Office (USPS) should be relocated to the rear of the former West Coast Video store at 259 Nassau Street. But the fate of its longtime home on Palmer Square has yet to be finalized, according to information provided at a public hearing during a meeting of Princeton Council on September 15. Greg Lackey, a representative of the USPS in Washington, D.C., said that cer-

tain easements need to be granted before the sale of the building can be completed. LCOR Ventures, based in Oakland, California, is the buyer, and has indicated that a retail or restaurant operation would be likely to take over the building. “The buyer can’t purchase until the title issues are resolved,” he said. “At this point, the buyer is not obligated to buy it. We could possibly have to go back and solicit a new buyer.” Continued on Page 17

TOPICS Of the Town closed classrooms of the past, but instead a “magical garden” of open spaces set up for a variety of academic, creative, and collaborative activities. Bookshelves t hat look like bushes, a blue, streamlike carpet, ”palm leaves in the clouds” and a ”pebble pathway” all enhance the indoor garden effect of the transformed space known as Millie’s Garden, named for Millie Harford, one of Stuart’s founding mothers and an early pre-K teacher. “It’s an exciting time for u s,” expla i ne d M ichel le Dowling, head of the Lower School at Stuart. “This has been in the works for the last three years, as far as changing our model and how we want to educate our girls.” The planning began a year ago when Ms. Dowling and her colleagues were asked by the School Head and the Board to “have a visionary thought about where we wanted to go.” The chosen model was one of collaboration and flexibility, a community-based approach to working together, but, Ms. Dowling said, “we were not physically set up to have these collaborative sessions or to understand what was going on in each other’s classroom.” Hubs in various spaces— an arts and crafts center, a lego wall, STEM (science, technolog y, engineering, math) centers, a stage for performances, creative centers with play dough for sculpting, and areas for poetry-writing, doodling, and areas where the girls can just be themselves, or work collaboratively in their own way—surround the central library, with flexible furniture throughout to accommodate different activities and different sized groups. “The more we use the space,” said Ms. Dowling, ”the more we’ll have a sense of how we want to use it. We don’t have it all scripted, but this new environment has already created a real energy among the students

and teachers “ As the new school year moves into its third week, Ms. Dowling describes a “real willingness among the faculty to be able to come together and collaborate. They are more engaged than they have ever been because they have this shared space. They are doing an incredible job in building community, and we are all committed to the idea that the students can be creative in their learning.” The Stuart Lower School project, entirely completed during the past three months and costing just over $1 million, was launched by a lead matching gift from Betty Wold Johnson, a past Stuart parent and trustee.

Perna’s Fall Planting Time

Change at Chapin Collaboration, flexibility and change are also on the agenda at Chapin School this fall, with Dr. Pamela Fiander taking the helm, as the Upper School moves into its new building. “ T h e r e’s a w o n d e r f u l sense of new beginnings,” Ms. Fiander exulted. On the subject of transformations taking place w ithin this new space—and the Lower School addition completed a year ago, Ms. Fiander quotes Winston Church ill : “We shape our buildings, and afterwards they shape us.” Ms. Fiander echoed the themes of collaboration, flexibility and student autonomy, “The new space with fungible furniture helps to bring teachers closer together so they can collaborate with each other, and we always provide opportunities to go where the children take us.” Upper School Head Gil Olvera confirmed Ms. Fiander’s vision. “Already in this new space I find teachers willing to collaborate more on projects and activities. This space provides students a more mature way of approaching their education. They will learn quickly how to use the space and their time wisely. The collaboration between teachers has already yielded results.” Kevin Edwards of NK Architects, project manager of the entire building project at Chapin, described how the construction was “all designed to maximize light, to maximize views to the outside, and a big part of that was creating those very large common areas, impromptu teaching areas.” The new buildings, he explained, were designed ”to promote education and assist the teachers, giving them what they need to do their jobs. You can see the excitement at Chapin.” For the two phases of the two-year building project, Chapin School’s Limitless Futures Capital Campaign raised over $8 million of the $13.2 million total cost. Ms. Fiander, eager to lead Chapin on the journey into its new spaces, described this as “an extraordinary moment in the school’s history, bringing significantly enhanced facilities for the Chapin students of today, and promising limitless opportunities for the students of tomorrow.” —Donald Gilpin

The addition of a privately owned property next to Princeton Battlefield State Park opens up new possibilities for investigating its history. The annexation of the former D’Ambrisi property, which was celebrated with an official ceremony and ribboncutting last week, makes land that played a vital role in the Battle of Princeton more accessible to researchers and the public. “We have started a study to determine whether a mass grave might be on the property,” said Kip Cherry, the vice president of the Battlefi eld Society, after the ceremony. Ms. Cherry was praised by Mayor Liz Lempert for her persistence in making the transaction a reality. “We have some radar, and have come up with two anomalies of interest,” Ms. Cherry continued. “One is behind the Colonnade, and the other is in the area of the cabana that was on the D’Ambrisi property.” Both of the sites are fi ve feet deep. “We are now discussing how to proceed with our archaeologist because of the complexity of going that deep,” Ms. Cherry added. “They are recommending going in with some machinery, but we would have to get permission from the state and the historic preservation office first.” An application is being prepared to place the property on a historical register, Ms. Cherry said. A grant has been obtained from the American Battlefield Protection

Program of the Department of the Interior for studying the parcel to determine whether there are buried architectural materials, and to locate the mass grave. “On January 3, when the battle took place, it was cold and frozen, so it would have been a lot of work to bury all the men that died individually,” Ms. Cherry said. “So it is British and Americans in the same grave. They wanted to get out of Princeton before Cornwallis and 8,000 soldiers arrived from Trenton. The timing was very critical so they had to bury quickly.” The D’Ambrisi property borders Stockton Street and reaches up to the ridge behind the pillars of the Colonnade, which once fronted a house in Philadelphia designed by architect Thomas U. Walter. Seven years ago, the D’Ambrisi family was contacted by Ms. Cherry when the Battlefield Society became aware that properties bordering the Battlefield were for sale. The family had owned the property since 1985. Joseph D’Ambrisi, a Mobil executive, died in 2011. His wife and two of his children attended the ceremony. The $850,000 sale was financed by money from the state, Mercer County, and the Friends of Princeton Open Space. The municipality paid to fi x a dam on the property, demolish the house, and remove a swimming pool. Ms. Cherry said the Battlefield Society has been approache d by a not her

property owner near the historic expanse about selling to the state. “That would make it a part of the Battlefield,” she said. “It’s a legacy-related thing. He’s interested in making it a part of the park.” Further plans for the park may include a bike path that would connect Stockton and Mercer streets. “There’s a whole environmental aspect to this,” Ms. Cherry said. “It’s a beautiful property and this is also about creating a wonderful space for the public. There is a series of ponds created by [Moses Taylor] Pyne, and lots of trees. So there are multiple aspects to this and all of the stakeholders were really keen on that.” The successful purchase of the D’Ambrisi property could serve as a model for similar transactions at historic sites. “By bringing governmental units together with non-profits, we were able to pull off something that no one entity could do alone,” Ms. Cherry said. —Anne Levin

Local Businessmen Join Forces To Send Students to College

Princeton businessman Scott Sipprelle of Westland Ventures has teamed up with Bob Carr of Princeton-based Heartland Payment Systems to help fund the college educations of qualified students of modest means in the Princeton school district. The two have pledged $100,000 each through Carr’s Give Something Back Foundation (GSBF), a non-profit organization whose mission is

(Photo by John Lien) to provide mentors and scholarships that help Pell Granteligible students go to college and graduate in four years, debt free. The program originated in Mr. Carr’s hometown of Lockport, Ill., where it is currently thriving. This past spring the foundation expanded into New Jersey with donations of $1 million each to The College of New Jersey and Rowan University to support the college educations of 100 New Jersey students. Mr. Carr is also close to establishing a link with a college in northern New Jersey and is expected to announce that partnership at the end of the month. In all, he has committed an additional $20 million of his own money to put at least 1,000 kids through college.

“Scott and Tracy Sipprelle’s generous donation through Sipprelle Charitable Corp. allows us to continue to expand the program,” said Mr. Carr. “Now we can enroll 10 more students from Princeton High School over the next two years.” The two businessmen are launching a fundraising campaign this fall with plans to help even more Princeton High School students cross the bridge to college. Unlike philanthropic organizations where donors simply write checks in support of education, GSBF works with high school teachers and administrators to identify ninth grade students who are a good fit for the program because they have academic potential and come from families that lack the means to pay for college.

“One of the problems with philanthropy today is that donors are often too disconnected from the impact of their giving,” explained Sipprelle. “But with the Give Something Back Foundation you have an opportunity to make a real connection with the recipients of your donation — making that gift more tangible.” Through GSBF, donors can join their scholarship recipients at the GSBF Annual Scholar Dinner and are invited to engage in regular communication with the foundation, the scholars, and their mentors who keep donors up to date on their progress and successes.

Mailbox Petition to Change Date Could Undermine The Spirit and Concept of Communiversity

To the Editor: There is currently a petition circulating in Princeton collecting signatures to present to the mayor and Council. It requests that they vote to deny any future application from the organizers of the annual Communiversity festival to hold the event on Sunday. Some petitioners have been rather aggressive in their quest to gather signatures. I was chastised when I refused to sign. They are also getting signatures from non-Princeton residents. In order for a petition to be considered, the signers must live or work in the town. The petition was started by former Mayor Jim Floyd and an ad-hoc group of residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson community who claim that the decision by the festival organizers to move the event from Saturday to Sunday caused “parking nightmares” and had a “devastating effect” on the African American churches in their community. The festival places a burden on all the churches in the heart of town on that Sunday, but some members of the Witherspoon-Jackson churches are the only ones who have made it an issue. It’s only one Sunday. Two years ago, the festival day was changed to Sunday when the Nassau Street merchants complained that Communiversity had a negative impact on their Saturday sales because people shopped at the festival and not in their stores. The merchants said fewer people shopped on Sunday, so their sales were not as severely impacted. Some Jewish residents said they felt left out because Saturday was their Sabbath and they were not able to participate in the festivities. I am a member of the Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, one of the churches in the Witherspoon-Jackson

Community. I and members of our Outreach Committee have happily joined the celebration with a booth at Communiversity for the past five years. It is always a fun and exciting experience. I attended a review meeting following the 2014 festival that included Jeff Nathanson, the executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton, which sponsors the Communiversity festival, representatives of the police and fire departments, representatives of the merchants of Princeton, pastors and members of other churches in the Witherspoon-Jackson Community. The discussion revolved around the Saturday vs. Sunday issue. Mr. Nathanson, and the members of the police department, promised to reach out to members of the Witherspoon-Jackson Community to remind them of the changes for that one Sunday. The representatives of the churches said they would notify their members of the changes. It appeared to me the issue was settled. Communiversity was started in 1971 to unite Princeton University and the Princeton communities in a day of celebration and mutual respect. Now, as we all know, it has become a beloved annual regional event that draws almost 45,000 people. The petition could change all that by igniting an ugly and divisive “us vs. them” debate that would undermine the very concept of Communiversity — bringing the communities together. It would be a shame to let that happen. AlyCE BUSh loomis Court

Our District Representatives Get High Marks From the NRA, Vote Against Family Planning

To the Editor: There may be those like the Republican state legislator [Senator Christopher Bateman] who recently asserted that Princeton Democrats should support our Republican state representatives in the upcoming election in a spirit of nonpartisanship [Mailbox, Sept.16]. That argument may fool Donald Trump voters, but the reality is that politics is partisan and that partisan legislative voting is a tangible manifestation of our values. Princetonians should understand that we are currently represented in the assembly by three Republicans who consistently and reliably support Governor Christie’s right-wing agenda. For example, Assemblywoman Donna Simon received an A+ rating from the NRA. She has always voted against funding for family planning, and she was endorsed by the tea party. Jack Ciattarelli is slightly less right-wing, receiving a B+ from the NRA, but he also rejects all funding for family planning. When New Jersey’s governor brags in national debates about how he has advanced his conservative agenda in a Democratic-leaning state, we can thank Princeton’s current assembly representatives. But on Election Day, November 3, we can get ourselves to the polls and vote for new representatives. We have two excellent Democratic candidates: Maureen Vella, a former judge, and Andrew Zwicker, a physicist. I hope you will join me in turning our district in a new direction and support Zwicker and Vella for Assembly. BETh hEAlEy Moore Street

Remembering C.K. Williams (1936-2015) — His Music Becomes Our Music

fter walking in a daze down the brightly-lit aisles of McCaffrey’s, stunned by Monday’s New York Times obit, I find myself in the same check-out line where I last spoke with the poet C.K. Williams, who died at home in Hopewell Sunday. When e and his charming wife Catherine lived on Moore Street, I used to see him often at McCaffrey’s. He was hard to miss. At 6’5, he loomed over everyone else. We would shake hands and I would think how good it is to live in a town where you can shake hands with a great poet while pushing a shopping cart at the market. Life in Princeton …. The happiest, most productive mistake I ever made was getting Charlie’s name wrong in a book review. That was back in April 2004, before I knew him as Charlie. I’d been writing for Town Topics five months when I typed C.K. Wright instead of C.K. Williams. Although it was only a passing reference in a column about another poet, when I saw the idiotic error in cold hard indelible print, I went straight to Micawber Books and forked over $20 in penance for a copy of The Singing. Even though I’d already been struck by his work in The New Yorker, poems written in the aftermath of September 11 and the Iraq war like wartime dispatches from the homefront, I might not have read the book but for that mistake. Helping Us Grieve “Elegy for an Artist” the poem from The Singing that I found so moving, all the more now, was also the subject of our first conversation later that year at Small World, where he told me how much it meant to him when readers of that elegy and others like it thanked him “for helping them grieve.” What impresses me even more now than it did on first reading is the way he’s able to feel for and with the reader, every reader, even as he’s writing a deeply personal poem to a beloved friend. Composing “Elegy for an Artist,” he had to know how deeply and widely it would resonate, as it does now, for me, thinking of him when he writes “I need you to help/me grieve for you,” and in lines like “these counterpoints/of memory and love/unflawed by absence/or sorrow; this music/we hear, this other,/richer still, we are.” There it is: this other richer music we are. His music becomes our music. In the closing stanzas he manages to dispense yet another of those crazily serendipitious poetic formations that find and chime with the present moment, here at home where workmen are drilling in the basement even as I read of a “plumber’s/ compressor hectically/intensifying.” In the poem, the sound of an oboe practicing scales is heard above the noise, going “on and on,/single-minded, patient/and implacable/its tempo never faltering,” until now, in the moment of reading, the poem and the oboe become one rising above

the noise below, going on “as the world/ goes on, and beauty,/and the passion for it.” Now it’s all working, this other richer music that we are, “knowing that our consolations,/if there are such things,/dwell in our conviction/that always somewhere/ painters will concoct/their colors, poets sing, and a single oboe” — the poem and the oboe — “serenely/mounting and descending/the stairway it itself/unfurls before itself.” Besides showing a sympathetic grasp of the humble “it,” the elegy, like

creations where you can hear him talking, really speaking to you, face to face, across a table at Small World or the Boro Bean in Hopewell, the way he brings you in, that close to making poetry of conversation, like the poem that inspired him, Coleridge’s “Frost at Midnight.” On the Deck On March 1 2013, I received the email that began “Some news from here not so good” about a routine annual check-up that turned out to be “anything but routine.”

summer of 2004 and led to our meeting, began by quoting Billy Collins describing the difference between the novelist and the poet. While the novelist resembles a “houseguest” who moves in with you for a few weeks, the poet is someone who just appears: “A door opens and there’s the poet! He says something about life and death, closes the door and is gone.” Billy would leave you laughing. Not C. K. Williams. He’d wait to be invited in. He’d come sit at the hearth, get the fire going again, put Berlioz’s Requiem on the stereo, and give everyone a hug or a handshake before he left. His poetry doesn’t close the door and vanish into the night. You live with it. As it happens, one of the Williams poems that first drew me in was “The Hearth.” I read it in the March 3, 2003 New Yorker, two weeks before the invasion of Iraq. While the image of a hearth suggests something comfor table and inviting, what you find when you enter the poem is a “recalcitrant fire” that the poet, “alone after the news on a bitter/ evening in the country,” is “stirring up” as he follows a course of dark thought (fire blinding and maiming someone, nature devouring its prey) leading to the war and the “more than fear” he feels for his children and grandchildren. Once he has the fire blazing, “its glow on the windows makes the night even darker but it barely keeps the room warm.” By the time you come to the last line (“I stoke it again and crouch closer”), you’re there in the chilly room with him, holding your hands toward the same fading fire. Adagio Sostenuto riving to work Monday, I know what I want to hear. The first time we talked, Charlie told me he played piano — he was on his way to a lesson when we finished. I’m listening to the long slow movement from Beethoven’s Hammerklavier sonata, which Wilhelm Kempff calls “the most magnificent monologue Beethoven ever wrote.” When I wrote about it here a few years ago, I spoke of “a series of variations so stirring that all you can think is how thankful you are that you heard it before you died.” I’m sure Charlie heard it. Only a little over a year ago he was reading his poetry with pianist Richard Goode. The poem chosen to go with Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 28, the one preceding the Hammerklavier, was titled “Beethoven Reinvents the Species Again.” I’m thankful to have discovered the monologues and reinventions of C.K. Williams, and all because of a mistake. Which shows that when poetry is the issue, mistakes can lead to discoveries. —Stuart Mitchner

some other poems in The Singing, breaks up the Williams trademark, the “long, unraveled lines that spilled over the boundary of a standard page,” as William Grimes puts it in the Times obituary. “Saddening” After that first meeting in Small World, where we’d been talking of death and life and music and Coleridge’s letters, he emailed me a poem about that “poor man, poor giant” titled “Saddening,” a word I’d like to think he coined to describe days like this one, meaning a state beyond the mere mundane reality of being sad, that is, sadness taken to the limit, to the highest power, as of a force unbending and unending. True, the seldom-used word is in the dictionary, but it’s his, nevertheless. He’s claimed it for one of those C.K. Williams

(Photograph by Tom Grimes) Six months later, I spent an idyllic hour with Charlie on the back deck of the house on Hart Avenue in Hopewell. He fixed me a head-turning cappuccino and as we were talking, a freight train went by, practically through the Williams back yard. As close and loud as it may have been, I remember it as a hushed, haunted poem of a train, something rare and strange, because we were talking about Thomas Wolfe when it happened, and of course Wolfe and trains are like Williams and long lines. Charlie had been telling me he read all of Wolfe during a reading orgy in Paris when he was 20 and living in a small hotel on the Rue Jacob.

VolunteerConnect Celebrate’s Its Champions

PRINCETON SEMINARY’S FALL COMMUNITY FESTIVAL: Bring the entire family for a fun-filled day at Princeton Theological Seminary’s Fall Community Festival on Saturday, September 26 from noon to 4 p.m., rain or shine. The festival includes local food trucks, music workshops, campus tours, and a bouncy castle for kids. PTS is located at 64 Mercer Street. Parking is available across the street in the Seminary’s library lot, 25 Library Place. For more information, visit www.ptsem.edu.

On Thursday, October 1 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., VolunteerConnect will host its third annual Impact Awards at Labyrinth Books in Princeton to celebrate the contributions of local skilled volunteers, organizations, and

businesses. Anne VanLent will be recognized as the individual awardee, while NRG Energy will receive the corporate award and Habitat for Humanity of Trenton will accept the community organization award. This event is designed to celebrate and draw together key members of the Princeton area who have shown exceptional commitment to promoting volunteerism as a means of strengthening communities and creating social change. Ms. VanLent’s has served on the boards of local nonprofit organizations including the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, the Arts Council of Princeton, McCarter Theatre, and the Princeton Area Community Foundation’s Fund for Women and Girls. Through her tenure at various life science corporations, her experience with strategic and financial

management has positioned h e r to g u i d e n o n pr of i t groups in need of similar oversight. “It is so wonderful that VolunteerConnect has chosen to honor Anne VanLent with an Impact Award in recognition of the important and vital roles she plays as a volunteer leader in our local nonprofits,” said outgoing Princeton Symphony Orchestra executive director Melanie Clarke. “She is an incisive, strategic, and practical partner to our management team and board and always follows up her advice with meaningful action.” Ms. VanLent views volunteer service as an integral part of community life, rather than an act of generosity. “We take for granted so many of the things that add to the quality of our lives,”

she said. “Those things don’t just happen on their own; it’s important to raise your head and say, ‘What can I do to help maintain this environment that I enjoy so much?’” She has found personal rewards in her service, citing the “wonderful people” who work in the nonprofit sector as her source of inspiration: “There are only a few passionate people who work for wages that aren’t competitive with the private sector; they can’t do their jobs without a cadre of volunteers on all levels to make these operations work.” VolunteerConnect’s programs focus on providing nonprofit board recruitment and training, resources for nonprofit leadership, and short-term, skills-based volunteer projects. Ms. VanLent recognizes the need for skilled leadership on nonprofit boards: “[Professionals] tend to not understand what gifts they have. That’s the wake-up call for people who are reticent to serve on boards: you’ll love the people, and you have no idea how much you can help by sharing the skills you use every day.” She urges all professionals to consider ways they can contribute to supporting a nonprofit group. “Start by picking a cause that you have a real interest in: one that adds to the quality of your life and makes you say, ‘I want to make sure this organization sticks around; they’re part of the fabric of my life.’ There’s a joy in knowing that you’ve provided benefit to others, and it leads you to experience people and events that you wouldn’t otherwise.” Tickets for the Impact Awards can be purchased for $75 by September 28 by visiting VolunteerConnectNJ.org, calling (609) 921-8893, or emailing Executive Director Amy Klein at A my @ Volu nteer Con nectNJ.org.

Council plans to introduce an ordinance at its next meeting regarding the easements necessary for the building to be purchased. The Postal Service has proposed paying Princeton $10,000 in return for new easements that are needed for certain features of the property including steps and window wells, which spill over onto land that is owned by the town. Easements granted back in the 1930s dictated that they would expire if the post office ever sold the property. The buyers need to have the existing easements extended, and some new ones conveyed before the sale is finalized. Council members Heather Howard and Jenny Crumiller

said they have spoken with representatives of LCOR Ventures regarding the proposed sale. While the buyer said they don’t yet have a tenant for the space, “We can say with pretty much certainty that it’s going to be either a retail establishment or a restaurant,” Ms. Howard said. She added, “We said please come to the community when you know more, because this is a community that wants to know. This is such an important part of town.” The building has been a fixture on Palmer Square since the area was redeveloped in the 1930s. Among its historical features is “Columbia Under the Palm,” a mural painted in 1939 depicting Native Americans reacting to the arrival of European colonists. The mural

has caused controversy in recent years because some consider it to be racist. Mr. Lackey said that the USPS owns the mural, and it is not part of the sale. But the purchaser takes over the care of the mural for the postal service. Selling the post office building is a part of a nation-wide downsizing effort by the postal service. The new location at 259 Nassau Street will be approximately 2,300 square feet, down from the current building’s 12,000 square feet. —Anne Levin

Intense Passion and Drama — “Baby Doll,” Adapted from 1956 Film, Delivers Tennessee Williams’s Classic Themes to McCarter Stage

aby Doll Meighan, 19-year- old virgin wife of middle-aged Archie Meighan, lies provocatively sucking her thumb in her tiny bed as the lights rise on McCarter Theatre’s American premiere production of Baby Doll, adapted by Pierre Laville and Emily Mann from Tennessee Williams’s “scandalous” 1956 movie. Almost 60 years ago, the image of Baby Doll (played by Carroll Baker) in her cribsized bed, blown up on a 135-foot long billboard above the Victoria Theatre on Broadway, where the movie debuted, incited the wrath of the Catholic Church and the National Legion of Decency (“grievously offensive to Christian and traditional standards of morality and decency”). The New Republic called the movie “The Crass Menagerie” and Time magazine described it as “possibly the dirtiest American-made motion picture that has ever been legally exhibited.” Though the scandal caused the movie to be withdrawn from release in many cities, it was, unsurprisingly, a box office success and a huge publicity-maker for the author. McCarter’s Baby Doll, though brimming with sensuality, erotic passion, and an array of sexually suggestive language and symbolism, is not likely to stir up so much controversy in 2015. Ms. Mann and Mr. Laville (who produced an earlier version in 2009 in France) have skillfully cut, focused, and clarified the original and vibrantly, tastefully, brought the riveting story to life on the stage. Baby Doll is set in the Mississippi Delta in 1952, in and around the dilapidated old plantation house where Archie lives with his young bride and her elderly Aunt Rose. Strong passions and bitter vengeance — personal, commercial and romantic — prevail, as Archie finds first his cotton business, and then his marriage, threatened by a rival, Silva Vaccaro, a charismatic interloper, a Sicilian by birth. The play is also — particularly here in Ms. Mann’s focus on Baby Doll and her resolution of an ending quarreled over by Mr. Williams and his director Elia Kazan — about the coming of age and sexual awakening of Baby Doll, who, trapped in a loveless marriage, discovers her sexuality and her true self under the powerful influence of Vaccaro. Written a few years after The Glass Menagerie (1944) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1947) and completed just after A Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Baby

the world of this play. Depicting two floors plus attic and front yard of the crumbling Meighan house — fourth wall removed to enable audience’s view, the shadowy set is richly symbolic, reflecting the crumbling of Archie’s marriage and his life, as well as the decay of the Old South with its racial, ethnic, and gender prejudices. Only one thin pillar, perhaps an ironic reminder of former glories, remains on the front porch amidst the rubble of the front yard and the shadowy haze that pervades the set. Darron L West’s sound design plays a major role in this drama, frequently evoking the offstage world of the play — birds, crickets, dogs, sirens, even the suggestion of the cotton gin and the world of the town, from which Archie and Baby Doll are isolated. A loud steel guitar between scenes throughout the play powerfully helps to create the mood, serving the purpose of a chorus commenting on events and warning of future consequences. Costumes by Susan Hilferty are crucial and highly effective in establishing the four sharply contrasting principal characters, helping to reveal who they are psychologically and physically and how they relate to the other characters in the play and to the larger society. Ms. Mann has directed with a sure hand to unify the production elements and to move the play swiftly towards its dramatic conclusion in less than two hours. Many captivating scenes hold the audience’s attention from start to finish. Particularly memorable are the unsettling interactions between the sex-starved Archie and his unwilling young wife, the dramatic offstage fire that burns down the Syndicate’s cotton gin but seems to ignite the fires of romance for Baby Doll and vengeance for Vaccaro, and, most strikingly, the prolonged dance of desire between Vaccaro and Baby Doll, which begins as a quest for revenge, but develops gradually into a powerful erotic and romantic attraction that transforms Baby Doll’s life. n her program note, Ms. Mann describes the process of creating — or re-creating — Baby Doll at McCarter. “Adapting the screenplay of Baby Doll to the stage has been an exciting process. DANGEROUS LIAISON: Silva Vaccaro (Dylan McDermott) pursues his seduction of Baby Doll It felt akin to discovering a new Tennes(Susannah Hoffman), as passions for vengeance and love coincide, in Tennessee Williams’s see Williams play.” It’s a brilliant adapta“ Baby Doll,” adapted for the stage by Pierre Laville and Emily Mann at McCarter’s Berlind tion and production, a fascinating “new” work by the man who may be the greatTheatre through October 11.

Call (609) 258-2787 or visit www.mccarter.org for information.

Doll is full of classic Tennessee Williams atmosphere and themes, but, even in this fine adaptation and first-rate production, it is not in the same league with those great poetic masterpieces, the latter two of which won Pulitzer Prizes. Ms. Mann, her four extraordinary actors, and a resourceful, experienced, top-notch design team make the most of this material and provide a thoroughly engaging, entertaining evening. Not easy to compete with the likes of Kazan and his all-star movie cast of Ms. Baker, Karl Malden, Eli Wallach, and Mildred Dunnock, but McCarter’s production — though it does not completely overcome the tendency towards melodrama nor the disjointedness in the mix of dark humor with tragedy — does take full advantage of the immediacy of the stage experience, the on-target editing of Ms. Mann and Mr. Laville, and its superior cast and crew to provide a richer and more satisfying experience than the movie. You won’t find here the poignancy of Menagerie, or the rich, complex relationships and the deep psychological struggles of Streetcar and Cat. Williams’s creations in Baby Doll are not of the iconic magni-

tude and depth of Amanda Wingfield or Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski or of Big Daddy and Brick and Maggie the Cat, but the four principal characters of Baby Doll are all of significant interest. Susannah Hoffman’s Baby Doll is a sensitive, nuanced portrayal; of a young woman emerging from an oppressed, abused, infantilized figure into a full embrace of her womanhood and sexuality. Robert Joy’s Archie Meighan is a fine character study of an alcoholic, self-professed “peckerwood,” vainly lashing out to compensate for the financial, marital, and personal disasters he has created for himself. Dylan McDermott’s Silva Vaccaro, riding whip in hand, dynamically exudes menace, sexuality, and anger as he seeks revenge against the man who burnt down his cotton gin, then discovers romance with his adversary’s mismatched young wife. Patricia Conolly’s scatterbrained, endearing Aunt Rose becomes an increasingly important supporting figure, seemingly detached from the central conflicts of the play, but fighting her own battle for survival under Archie’s brutal regime. Edward Pierce’s vast, elaborately detailed set and lighting masterfully create

Princeton University Dance to learn the original cho- Playground, a new initiative Festival Moves to Fall Season reographic directives used designed to give emerging

The Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Dance at Princeton Universit y announced the professional choreographers whose work will be performed at the annual Princeton Dance Festival, an event that will move from its traditional February presentation to December 4 through 6, 2015. Princeton students will perform repertory works by Trisha Brown and Bill T. Jones, along with new works by Loni Landon, Dean Moss, Jimena Paz, and Brian Reeder. “Masterworks by Trisha Brown and Bill T. Jones will frame this exciting collection of new dances by contemporary choreographers,” notes Susan Marshall, director of the Program in Dance. “The program will present a thought-provoking range of movement techniques and artistic thought.” Guest artists Eva Karczag and Vicky Shick, former members of Trisha Brown Dance Company and original cast members of Brown’s Set and Reset, will stage Set and Reset/Reset. Set and Reset is a 1983 seminal work by Brow n, the first woman choreographer to receive the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship “Genius Award,” with music by Laurie Anderson.

The Festival will also premiere four new works by choreographers who will serve as guest faculty or guest choreographers during the fall semester.

In addition to creating dances for her own collective, Loni Landon Dance Projects, her work has been commissioned by The Juilliard School, Ballet X and numerous dance companies across the country. Landon, along with Gregory Dolbashian, founded The

Dean Moss will re-conceive a dance based on the board dance duet from his larger work, johnbrown, to shape a new work with video material created by the student cast members. Moss is a dance-based multidisciplinary theater and video artist, curator, and lecturer who investigates percep tions of self and other, often incorporating transcultural performance collaborations and audience participation. He is the recipient of the inaugural Doris Duke Impact Award in Theater, a Guggenheim Fellowship in Choreography, a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Artists Grant, and a New York Dance and Per formance “Bessie” Award for his work Spooky Action at a Distance.

We encourage members of the public to come and learn about this transformative journey of peace,” said Alesha Vega, CFPA Assistant Director. The public is invited to the screening, followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Gayla Jamison, and the parents of the victim, Phyllis and Orlando Rodríguez.

“The mission of the Princeton Public Schools is to prepare all students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate citizens of a global society.” Reflect for a moment on the words in that statement that may resonate with you. ALL students. Every one. JOY and PURPOSE. Rare and refreshing words in a school mission statement. Nowhere does the mission statement reference getting into an Ivy League college or making a lot of money. A different, larger definition of success is at work here. The goal is for our students to experience joy and meaning in their lives regardless of what pathway they may take – and to experience it in the present, not at the end of some educational or economic rainbow. Do we want our students to have extensive and in-depth content knowledge? Absolutely. We also want them to have creativity and compassion. All three are essential – although not all three can be easily measured. And finally, in the mission statement, we are explicit about our students becoming citizens of the world – with all the cultural, linguistic, political and technological understanding that comes with that responsibility. This mission statement, this single sentence, drives the work that we do and the direction we have established as a district. So what is the work ahead of us in the next three to five years? We have identified the following five goals for which we are currently developing detailed action plans: 1. Wellness and balance for students and staff. 2. Ensure that every child is known as a person and as a learner. 3. Promote equity and access in ways that effectively eliminate the “achievement” or opportunity gap. 4. Inspire innovation and experimentation in both teaching and learning. 5. Promote a culture of care, connectedness, and communication across the district, between home and school, and throughout our broader community. Just as important as our goals are the ways we go about achieving them. The following overarching values guide the ethos and culture of our work as educators: •Our schools are places of partnership where educators work closely with one another, where relationships with families are forged, and where collaborations with individuals and organizations across our community and throughout the world support the highest levels of teaching and learning. •Our schools are places of innovation where curiosity is sparked, risktaking is encouraged, and where problems are viewed as opportunities for deeper understanding and creative solutions. •Our schools are places of care where every child is known, every culture valued, and where kindness and courage are modeled. In the coming year, I will comment on each of our strategic planning goals in greater depth. For now, I am extraordinarily excited to welcome back our students, staff and families and to join them in a joyful year of learning.

the deal was struck. Of course, the latter was too much to expect, since there’s no honor among thieves, especially when it comes to a ruthless assassin like Whitey. He used the protection from the Feds as an opportunity to behave with impunity as he expanded his spheres of influence. Bulger proceeded to embark on a bloody reign of terror during which Connolly and a fellow agent (David Harbour) found themselves being forced to break the law. When the truth finally came to light, the two agents were arrested as accomplices. However, Whitey disappeared into thin air, was put on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, and managed to avoid being caught for more than ten years. Directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart), Black Mass is a riveting biopic that describes the infamous actions of the most chilling character you’re apt to see in a theater this year. Johnny Depp is at the top of his game as Bulger, a very intimidating larger-than-life monster who has no conscience. Depp may well receive the coveted Oscar which has managed to elude him despite a brilliant career with several unparalleled performances. In addition to Depp, kudos are in order for the stellar supporting cast, especially Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Dakota Johnson, Julianne Nicholson, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Black Mass is the first must-see film of the fall. Excellent (★★★★). Rated Topics R for graphic violence, profanity, sexual references, and brief drug use. Running time: 122 minutes.

n the mid-1970s, James “Whitey” Bulger began rising through the ranks of South Boston’s Winter Hill Gang by knocking off all the competition that was vying for control of his Irish neighborhood. The power hungry mobster wanted to control various illegal rackets that were being run by the mafia in the city’s predominantly Italian North End. In the midst of the ensuing turf war, Whitey was surreptitiously approached by John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), a childhood friend from South Boston who was now working for the FBI. Agent Connolly informed Bulger that the Bureau had enough evidence to put him behind bars forever, however, it was willing to offer him immunity in return for his cooperation as an undercover informant. Bulger grudgingly agreed after the Bureau agreed that he would have to snitch on his cross-town rivals in the Angiulo crime family, but not on any of his associates. However, Connolly further stipulated that no murders could be committed by any Winter Hill members once

Popular Princeton Pong Table Tennis Facility Provides Instruction, Tournaments, and Fun

hat is the second most popular participation sport in the world? Table tennis, of course! That’s right, PingPong. It is the number one racket sport in the world, and is growing in popularity in the U.S., with more than 200 Ping-Pong facilities nationwide, according to the USA Table Tennis Association. 19 million Americans play for recreation.

IT’S NEW To Us

And it is not only the fun, relaxed back and forth play you might remember in your basement rec room. High level, intense tournament competition is the trend for many players today. According to the Olympic Factbook, more than 10 million players compete in sanctioned tournaments each year throughout the world. Now, a table tennis facility is available in Princeton. Opened in August 2014 at 745 Alexander Road, Princeton Pong is a stateof-the-art operation with professional coaches, topof-the-line tables, rackets, and equipment.

All Abilities “This is a great place,” says Cory Padia, sales and marketing and membership manager. “It’s just a lot of fun. You can walk in here and have fun whatever your level.” Princeton Pong offers a membership program for players of all abilities, from beginners to tournamentlevel players. All ages are welcome, including kids and grandparents. Whether your style is relaxed or intense, there will be an opportunity to send that little ball over the net. “It’s really the sport of the future,” notes a new and enthusiastic player. “It’s great for any age, including older people. It’s easier on the knees than other sports, but it also provides a terrific workout. You can play it your whole life! Table tennis has evolved over the years from its beginning in England at the turn of the 19th Century, when it was introduced as “an after dinner amusement”. Over time, its fast pace (a match can typically last a halfhour), easy availability and accessibility, and its democratic nature, have appealed to many people worldwide. After all, it can be played in the basement, in the laundry room, and in bars!

COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

It has become a favorite of celebrities, and a New York Times article recently referred to its popularity in the players’ lounge at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York. The tennis stars, sure of their racket skills, eagerly pick up a paddle, only to discover that PingPong is an entirely different “ball game”. Lightning Speed But, oh, so tempting! Everyone thinks it will be a breeze, and then they encounter a player who not only spins that ball with finesse, but can power it over the net in lightning speed, leaving the opponent to wonder what that blur was. On the other hand, it can be lots of fun to have a laidback rally, and just enjoy being in the moment. Table tennis became an Olympic sport in 2008 at the Summer Games in Seoul, and since then, it has grown increasingly popular. Princeton Pong owner and entrepreneur Flint Lane is an avid table tennis enthusiast, and he and his wife Kathy Lane opened Princeton Pong with the intention of launching a community business as well as furthering people’s enjoyment of the sport. They chose an exemplary staff with outstanding credentials to engage

with members and students through private, semi private, and group lessons. Head coach David Zhuang is a three-time table tennis Olympian, and has won more than 20 titles, including a six-time USA Table Tennis champion and Pan American Games Gold medalist. Coaches Fabian Vallejos and Ying Peng are experienced in all areas of the sport, and each holds many championships and gold medals. Princeton Pong’s general manager is Ben Rosenberg. Great Atmosphere “Everyone here loves the game,” says Cor y Padia, who was formerly with Yelp in Manhattan. “I was looking for something different and really wanted a change. I didn’t know a lot about Ping-Pong, but I see how much fun it can be, and I want everyone to see that, and know that they can have an enjoyable time here. “My favorite part of this is being able to work in a place where I can be myself all the time — 100 percent of the time,” he continues. “We have a great atmo sphere here. I know 99 percent of the members’ names, and they’re a really friendly bunch!” Memberships are the major focus of Princeton Pong, but people can also drop in or call ahead for a game, and see how they like it, he adds.

Posting First Season-Opening Victory Since 2006, PU Football Looks Sharp in Routing Lafayette 40-7

ocked in a scoreless tie at Lafayette after the fi rst quarter last Saturday, it looked like the Princeton University football team could be facing another rocky opening night as it kicked off its 2015 campaign. Having lost eight straight openers, Princeton has struggled coming out of the gate, fighting an uphill battle as it takes on teams like Lafayette, who had two games under its belt. But in the second quarter, Princeton exploded for 23 unanswered points and never looked back on the way to a 40-7 rout of the Leopards before 9,173 at Fisher Field in Easton, Pa. For Princeton head coach Bob Surace, the game film from the win Saturday made for pleasant viewing. “You give a message before every game and my message was that tomorrow we are going to come in and watch this video and the thing we can control is our effort,” said Surace, whose team outgained Lafayette 573 yards to 278. “I said let’s have great technique, great assignments, let’s come in and watch 11 guys make a great effort on every play. I just got done watching it and I was really encouraged for us to sustain an effort like we did.” The Tigers sent a message with a dominant rushing attack that saw Dre Nelson run for 116 yards on eight carries, DiAndre Atwater gain 93 yards on 14 carries, and Joe Rhattigan chip in 66 yards on nine attempts as Princeton rumbled for 308 yards on the ground. “They were terrific between the tackles, finishing runs,” said Surace, referring to seniors Nelson and Atwater. “I thought we did a really good job with space, that was a really rock solid job by our backs, our line, and our receivers with the way they blocked. There were some really good blocks down the field.”

Princeton got a really good debut from junior quarterback Chad Kanoff, as he competed 20-of-31 passes for 256 yards and one touchdown in his first career start. “Chad threw it really accurately but like anything else in 70 plays over the first three quarters, there are a few that you want to take back,” said Surace. “He will learn from the experience. He is really poised and he managed the pocket well. His reads and decisions were good. His ball handling was good, he finishes fakes. He has a really good way about him. He is going to learn the longer he plays that sometimes an incompletion is a good play. I saw him do that once and there were probably two or three other times where he forced it. He had a really good game.” Sophomore back-up QB John Lovett proved to be a force in goal-line situations, throwing for one touchdown and running for another. “John is one of those guys we can utilize in so many ways, there will be games where maybe he doesn’t score but he will have more yards,” added Surace. “He is just such a good athlete and does so many things so well. We throw it to him in the flat and he runs guys over. On one play, he is blocking their 260 pound defensive end like he was an offensive lineman. Those things are enjoyable to see, it really inspires the team.” The Tiger defense played some inspired football, holding the Leopards to 58 yards rushing and not yielding any points until Lafayette tacked on a fourth quarter TD long after the game was decided. “I felt we really tackled well, we pursued the ball well,” said Surace, who got a teamhigh seven tackles from junior linebacker R.J. Paige with sophomore defensive lineman Kurt Holuba getting six stops and a sack. “I liked our coverage in the secondary.

Guys like Anthony Gaffney and Khamal Brown were really looking forward to rebounding this year. They played extremely well and that was encouraging.” Surace was also encouraged by Princeton’s sharpness in the kicking game, “I thought our special teams did well, we had only one punt for 53 yards,” added Surace. “Nolan Bieck’s kickoffs were terrific, he crushed those field goals. Max Lescano did a really good job of punt retuning, he averaged over 11 yards a return and he had one that went for a touchdown called back on a borderline call. Dre almost had a touchdown on a kickoff return, he went in instead of out.” While Princeton did a terrific job in all phases against Lafayette, Surace knows that his squad can’t rest on its laurels. “This is the week that we have to make a big jump,” said Surace. “The people on FAST START: Princeton University football player Dre Nelson the outside all see the score- speeds upfield in a 2014 game.

Despite having not scored a goal in the first four games of the season for the Princeton University field hockey team, Maddie Copeland was primed to make an impact as the Tigers hosted American University last Sunday. “I told my coach that my goal for this game was to get something every time I was in the circle,” said senior striker Copeland, a former Stuar t Countr y Day and Peddie School standout. “I think that was the goal for all of the attackers, to get a corner or a goal, whatever.” Copeland cer tainly got it going, enjoying a career day, scoring three goals in the second half to help Princeton pull away to a 5-1 win over American as it improved to 2-3. “I haven’t had a hat trick before in college, it feels good to get one,” said a grinning Copeland. Making a good one-on-one move in the circle, Copeland scored her first goal of the game 1:38 into the second half. “I got a good ball, I think it was from Kate Ferrara,” recalled Copeland. “The circle was pretty open and I just dodged one player and shot far post.” After opening her scoring account, Copeland scored on the right post about 10 minutes later and then fired a backhander in with 57 seconds left in regulation to earn her hat trick. “Elizabeth George assisted on two of my goals today, she is a great player,” said Copeland, who was later named the Ivy League Player of the Week for her performance. “She sees the field really well, she gave me a good cross across the circle, I was there to tap it in. Then she gave me a great ball into the circle and I had a wide open shot.” In Copeland’s view, some fine-tuning in practice helped open things up offensively for the Tigers. “This past week we focused on a new structure;

the structure opened up lanes for the forwards more and just more space on the field overall,” explained Copeland. “I think we definitely utilized our space today. We were able to create more on our attacking end which was really good.” With Princeton slated to play at 10th-ranked Maryland (5-3) on September 22 before starting Ivy League play with a game at Dartmouth (3-3) on September 27, Copeland is hoping the team can keep up its good work. “Maryland will be a good game to see just where we sit right now,” said Copeland. “I think we have a really strong team and if we play to our best, we can give them a run for their money. Headed into Dartmouth, we just have to play our game. We treat every Ivy game the same, every one is important. Those are the games that really matter and we want to crush it when we get to them.” For Cranbur y resident Copeland, playing her college career near home has meant a lot to her. “It is great, my family is able come to all of our games and we have a great level of support,” said Copeland, who now has 21 career goals as a Tiger. “A lot of the girls are local so it is just like a big family; everybody always has a lot of people here and it is great support.” Princeton head coach Kristen Holmes-Winn believes her team has been lifting the level of its play over the last two weeks. “We have really played well in the last few games,” asserted Holmes-Winn. “UVa was strong (a 4-3 overtime loss on September 6), Delaware was good (a 4-3 loss on September 13), Bucknell (a 5-1 win on September 12) was good. The fluidity definitely came together today ver y well

against a good team. American is a very good team.” T he Tigers have been coming together offensively. “We were possessing the ball better so we were able to get better height,” said Holmes-Winn, who got first half goals from junior Hailey Reeves and freshman Nicole Catalino in the victory over American. “Playing around pressure is really the key and finding ways to get to spots early and then reward that structure.” Holmes-Winn was happy to see Copeland get rewarded for her efforts in the circle. “It was awesome, she is great up there, there is no question about it,” said Holmes-Winn. “She probably felt some pressure to get a goal. She is doing a whole lot of other things very well. She has been playing very well in practice so I am not surprised to see it translate.” Spearheaded by Reeves and freshman Elise Wong, the Tiger defense did well, holding American to a pair of shots. “Hailey had a sensational defensive game,” said Holmes-Winn. “She didn’t give her mark a moment to breathe, which is exactly what we need from our backs. She was terrific. Elise anchored the back, that has been a change too. We have been shifting personnel around a little bit trying to leverage everyone’s strengths the best that we can. I think this is a step in the right direction for sure. I really liked how we played in the backfield.” Princeton also got some fine play in the middle of the field from junior Cat Caro, seniors Teresa Benvenuti and Kate Ferrara, along with freshmen Catalino and Sophia Tornetta. “I think Cat was really good, coming back in the midfield from the striker line, overloading zones,” added Holmes-Winn. “Nicole and Sophia in the middle as freshmen, give us a lot. Our spine was great today. Teresa and Kate on the wing mids are really threatening.”

Holmes-Winn is hoping that her squad can continue moving in the right direction. “We just have to try to keep getting better every day, that is really our focus,” said Holmes-Winn. “We want to get a little closer to our playing mentality every day. We are playing well. Sometimes you win and play well, sometimes you lose and play well. We are always trying to look behind the result and understand the difference when you win games and don’t play so well. I think we have been playing well over the last couple of weeks and it was great to have that result today.” Copeland, for her part, is determined to play well to the final whistle of her college career. “It is the last year and I want to go out with a bang,” asserted Copeland. “I want the team to succeed this year. We have such a good team. We have a lot of good young players. I think senior leadership is really important this year and the team is really doing a good job so far.” —Bill Alden

PU Sports Roundup PU Men’s Golf Wins 2nd Fall Title

Following up winning the Navy Fall Classic title on September 14, the Princeton University men’s golf team placed first at the Cornell Invitational last weekend in Ithaca, N.Y., marking the first time Princeton has opened its schedule with wins in two multi-team events. Pr inceton had a nine stroke lead after Saturday’s two rounds and opened it to a 16-shot lead over runnerup Towson after Sunday’s final round. The growth in that lead was thanks in big part to junior Quinn Prchal, who won medalist honors for the first time since taking last year’s Ivy League Championship individual title at Saucon Valley in Pennsylvania. Prchal posted a five-under score of 208 for the threeround event, three strokes

better than runner-up Jimmy Grem of Towson. Princeton is next in action when it competes at the Windon Memorial at the Lake Shore Country Club on Glencoe, Ill. ———

Gaining National Attention

Two years after revealing to his teammates that he is gay, Princeton University offensive lineman Mason Darrow came out publicly last week as part of a profile that ran on OutSports.com. Darrow’s revelation made national news as such media outlets as the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, and USA Today, among others, ran the story. Darrow first told a teammate in November of 2013 about his sexual orientation. Eventually, the whole team found out, but Darrow did not tell coaches until this summer, when he wanted to go public. Darrow is now the only openly gay player in Division I college football. Chip Sarafin, a backup offensive lineman for Arizona State came out as gay in August 2014, but has since graduated. “Here at Pr inceton, if we can’t handle this and say, ‘we’re supportive of

Despite a Totally Revamped Lineup, PHS Girls’ Tennis Still Formidable Having lost all three singles players and half of its first doubles pair from a team that won the Mercer County Tournament (MCT) and advanced to the state Group 3 finals in 2014, the Princeton High girls’ tennis team has a distinctly new look this fall. “There are a lot of new faces and even the returning faces are in new places,” said PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert, whose team suffered a loss before the season started when senior star and former state singles champion Chris Rosca opted not to play for PHS this fall due to her heavy weekend tournament schedule. But while the lineup is totally revamped, PHS wasted no time showing that it is still a team to be reckoned with as it topped Robbinsville 4-1 in its season opener earlier this month. “I thought we had a good win over Robbinsville, our No. 1 (Gillian Samios) was sick and we had to move our singles lineup up and change some things around,” said Hibbert. “Knowing that we had so much transition in our lineup and the additional sickness, I wasn’t sure how things would go. I was really happy with how everyone played. I think they did a good job of stepping up in the first match.” Although PHS fell 5-0 to W W/P-S last Wednesday, Hibbert saw positives. “The matches, doubles in particular, were very close,” said Hibbert. “The singles matches were a lot closer than the scores looked. They were having good rallies and good points, their girls just have a little more experience. They have all played at least a year of singles whereas none of our girls have played a full year of singles.” Hibbert is confident that senior Gillian Samios can

come through as she moves into the first singles slot. “Gillian has worked hard on her game since her freshman year, she has worked her way up from JV to doubles to first singles,” said Hibbert. “Last year she was second doubles when the lineup was intact for counties and states. She did play third singles when Chris was not there so she did get some experience in singles matches last year which has helped her. We talked about the fact that she was going to have some tough matches and she was going to have some very winnable matches and many in between. It will just be a great experience for her to get better, work hard, and improve her game.” At second singles, junior Elise G erdes is show ing improvement. “She is very consistent as well with good, steady groundstrokes” added Hibbert of Gerdes, who played second doubles with Samios in 2014. “She has really upped the pace on her shots and her consistency as well. She has been trying to add some additional skills and strategies to her repertoire as well with more volleys. She is using the year of doubles to mix it up a little bit.” Junior Brinda Suppiah brings a good skill set to t h ird s i ngle s. “S he has picked up her consistency from last year,” said Hibbert. “She always had good pace on her shots but she wasn’t always able to finish the points. She has really improved her overall game and has worked very hard since last year. She had a great start to the season and hopefully she will be able to continue that way.” A pair of seniors, Nikhita Salgame and Rachel Kleiman, has been giving PHS some fine work so far at first doubles. “Nikhita has really been picking up her net game, she is willing to be aggressive and poach,” said Hibbert of Salgame, who played first doubles last season. “She plays smart doubles shots. With the experience of two years of doubles, she can judge where the best place to hit the ball is. They are a good pairing, they are friends. They balance each other out well. Rachel is

consistent on ground strokes and likes to volley as well. They seem to have fun on the court together.” As for second doubles, Hibber t is still tr ying to figure out the best pairing, looking at Alina Zhao, Adriana Todorov, Caroline Tan, and Maggie Herring as potential options. “The second doubles is still a little bit of a work in progress; we have four players for the two spots,” said Hibbert. “I have been trying different combinations and pairings, trying to see the best team I can make out of the four players that we have. All four of them are working hard, they are very close and they all bring strengths to the team. They will probably all get time this year.” With the MCT starting on September 28 at Mercer County Park, Hibbert knows that PHS faces a tall order in its quest to win a second straight crown. “I don’t know if we are going to have the experience to repeat as county champions,” said Hibbert, whose team topped Lawrence 5-0 last Monday to improve to 3-1 and hosts Notre Dame on September 24 and Steinert on September 25 before opening play in the county tournament. “But at the same time, it is every individual’s goal to work as hard as she can and do as well as she can, both for her benefit and for the team. We want to have a good showing. We would love to have a top three finish, considering we have lost our entire singles lineup and part of doubles. We are hoping to maintain the strong tradition and do as well as we can.” No matter what happens at the counties, Hibber t feels that the squad is coming together nicely. “We always have strong players, we always have girls who are willing to work hard,” said Hibbert. “They are a dedicated group who are working really hard. They do team bonding stuff all the time, they do lunches and dinners. The team gets along well.

PHS Football Rallies to Edge Ewing as Helstrom Stars, Primed for Friday Night Lights Clash With Hightstown After losing to Hamilton in its season opener on September 12, the Princeton High football team felt a heightened sense of urgency as it got ready for its game at Ewing last Friday night. “We had a good week of practice, we kind of threw it out there that our backs were against the wall and there is nowhere to go but up,” said PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher. “We were not thinking about being 0-2, it was do whatever we can do to win a ball game.” In the early stages of Friday’s contest, PHS appeared to be headed to the dreaded 0-2 start as it trailed 20-7 after the first quarter. But a 34-yard field goal in the second quarter by sophomore Jakob Green gave PHS a lift heading into intermission. “We struggled in the beginning,” said Gallagher. “Thankfully we have a real solid kicker, he got us three before the half.” Producing a solid second half, PHS rallied to pull out a 34-27 win over the Blue Devils. In Gallagher’s view, a key turning point came on a third quarter safety by senior lineman Noah Ziegler. “We had a drive when we were down 20-10 at the beginning of the half, we drove all the way down to the five and we had a fumble,” said Gallagher. “It was a total letdown there, it took the wind out of our sails. We were about to make it a one score game but then Noah Ziegler had a great play. He made a safety. He made a tackle and swung him around a couple of times and he stepped on the end line and we got two points. On the next drive we scored a touchdown and we got the points we needed.” The Little Tigers got what they needed from senior Rory Helstrom as he rushed for 236 yards on 33 carries and three touchdowns. “Rory didn’t have as many touches as we would have liked last week, we wanted to get him heavily involved and I think he ended up with almost 35 carries,” said Gallagher. “He ran 59 yards for a touchdown on our second play. He caught a couple of balls out of the backfield and returned kicks. He did the same Rory stuff he did last year. He has played just a little bit of defense for us right now, just trying to get him in playing shape. His main focus is carrying the ball for us, he is a workhorse.” Gallagher also cited the team’s work in the trenches. “The offensive line did a real nice job, we rearranged our lineup a little bit, put some guys in different spots and it really paid off,” said Gallagher. “Coach ( Danny) Rodriguez our O-line coach did a real nice job with that, they opened some big holes.” O n t h e ot h e r s i d e of the ball, the PHS defense plugged some holes after a shaky start. “They had three scores and we were able to clamp down after that,” said Gallagher. “I think they had five drives that ended with punts so we

did a better job toward the middle of the game. They had a long touchdown in the fourth quarter but we shut them out in the second and third quarters.” PHS responded to that late Ewing TD by putting together the game-winning drive, capped by a five-yard scoring run by Helstrom. “It says something about the resilience of the team, I was really proud of the effort,” asserted Gallagher. “We were a playoff team last year and obviously it is a new team. We still have a lot of good players and that is what good teams do. We won eight games last year and we had a lot of the players come back. They maintained their composure, which was great.” In Gallagher’s view, the PHS rally gives the team something to build on going forward. “I think the biggest thing is coming back from being down 20 -7 on the road, that gives confidence to the

whole program,” said Gallagher. “Ewing has a great atmosphere, they had a great crowd over there. It was loud. Making that comeback was huge.” PHS is hoping to have a great crowd this Friday evening as it hosts Hightstown (1-1), highlighting Homecoming festivities with a night game for the second straight year. “I think we had roughly 2,500-3,000 fans last year, it was a great atmosphere,” said Gallagher, referring to PHS’s 7-0 win over Ewing last September in the program’s first night game at Harris Field. “I think they are looking to replicate it. We are going to have a great crowd. We had a great game against Hightstown last year (a 3629 win for PHS). We have looked at the tape of them, they have a sophomore running back who is good. Their quarterback is coming back for the second year, he can throw the ball. They have a big tight end and he gave us fits last year.” —Bill Alden

It was a clash of defending state prep champions last week as the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team, the 2014 Prep B victor, hosted the Hun School, the winner of last year’s Prep A tournament. Having tied the George School (Pa.) 3-3 in its season opener, PDS knew it had to step up at both ends of the field against its crosstown rival. “We definitely tried to come out really strong on them,” said PDS sophomore newcomer Damali SimonPonte, a transfer from South Brunswick High. “Our defender Maddie Coyne in the back made sure we kept tight on their big forwards.” Coming out hard, PDS took a 1-0 lead on a goal by Allison Klei with 3:09 remaining in the first half. But Hun responded with a tally by Addy Gray two minutes later and the teams headed into halftime locked in a 1-1 stalemate. Dur ing t he break, t he youthful PDS squad, which includes five sophomores and nine freshmen, got a quick tutorial from head coach Pat Trombetta.

“Our coach gave different players pointers on what to do and how to attack right away,” recalled Simon-Ponte. “We have a couple of young players on the field so we definitely stepped up our game.” With just over 17 minutes remaining in regulation, forward Simon-Ponte stepped up big time, getting loose on the wing and blasting a volley into the back of the net. “Their back line thought I was offsides; they underestimated how fast I was going,” said Simon-Ponte. “I never stopped, I didn’t look back at the ref, I just kept going until the ref blew the whistle and he didn’t.” The Panthers never looked back from there as a stingy defense thwarted Hun to preserve a 2-1 victory. Simon-Ponte, for her part, believes that PDS can keep rising to the occasion. “We have a lot of hard teams coming up so I think we are ready for them,” said Simon-Ponte. PDS head coach Trombetta wasn’t surprised that his team had to fight hard to overcome Hun.

TIME TO CELEBRATE: Princeton Day School girls’ soccer star Damali Simon-Ponte celebrates after a goal in a game earlier this fall. Last week, sophomore star Simon-Ponte scored the winning goal as PDS edged Hun 2-1 in a battle of defending state prep champions.

“You can see it is early season, it is not the prettiest soccer out there but it is a battle,” said Trombetta. “Every time we play this game it is usually a one goal game. If you look at the last 10 years, I would say nine times, the game ended in a one-goal differential.” Trombetta smiled as he assessed the goal by SimonPonte that ended up making the difference in the contest. “Damali is a threat and that winning goal was a beauty,” said Trombetta. “She was set up with a ball down the line, she made a beautiful run and finished with her left foot, it wasn’t the best angle but she found the back of the net.” Trombetta liked the way his back line handled the challenge of defending a dangerous Hun squad. “It has been musical chairs for us in the back four; we have tried players but I think we are going to settle in with the two center backs that we had here, Maddie Coyne and Rebecca Kuzmicz,” said Trombetta. “They did a great job sitting back there and defending, they had their moments. Hun put us under pressure; we bent a little but we didn’t break. These two center backs did a standup job. Then you have a girl playing left back Emily Simon, who never played back there before. She is a little warrior, she is always going in for tackles and coming up big for us on the defensive end as well.” In Trombetta’s view, the performance against Hun portends some big things to come this fall for the Panthers. “I think things are going to come together for the team over time,” said Trombetta, whose team topped Montgomery 1-0 last Monday to improve to 3-0-1 and hosts Peddie on September 24, plays at Blair Academy on September 26, and hosts Hamilton on September 28. “This is a good game, this is a nice game to get on your resume.” S i m o n - Po n te , fo r h e r part, is enjoying being a part of the PDS team. “I heard they were a really good soccer team and the school was a great academic school,” said Simon-Ponte, reflecting on her move to the school. “The girls are great, from the goalkeeper to everybody.” —Bill Alden

Sophomore Mundenar Providing Spark at Forward As PDS Field Hockey Displaying Better Intensity Com ing into its game against visiting Germantown Academy last Thursday, the Princeton Day School field hockey team had one main point of emphasis. “Our theme for the game was to keep up the intensity,” said PDS sophomore forward Madison Mundenar. While PDS ended up losing 7-2 to the powerful Patriots, it achieved its pregame goal. The Panthers tallied on a penalty corner at the end of the first half as Mundenar set up a diving goal by senior Rowan Schomburg. PDS fought to the final whistle as Mundenar tallied with five seconds left in regulation. In reflecting on the game, Mundenar was happy with the team’s spirited effort. “I really wanted to score at the end, we really never gave up there, even to the last second,” said Mundenar. “We knew going into this that Germantown was going to be stronger. We just tried to play really tough, we never stopped.” In just her second year of playing field hockey, Mundenar has a stronger grasp of the game. “I am more comfortable with this sport, it was my first time playing last year,” said Mundenar. “I am playing forward again. I played defense the first part of the season. I like playing forward.” Coming off a superb lacrosse season last spring which saw her score 40 goals as PDS won the state Prep B title, Mundenar acknowledged that finishing is her forte. “I like attacking; I try to work on my speed,” said Mundenar. “Field hockey definitely works on your speed because it is nonstop. I definitely need some work on my stick skills; they will improve by the end of the season.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow was pleased with how her squad played to the end in the loss to Germantown Academy. “One of our goals was to play a full 60 minutes and to not give up,” said Farlow. “Ye s te r d ay we playe d Academy of New Church and I thought that we played OK in spurts but I don’t think we played a full 60 minutes.

I talked to the girls at the end of the game and they felt the same way so that was our goal. I would say I was pretty happy with them overall today; I think it was a great team effort.” Farlow is happy with Mundenar’s play at forward. “I had her playing in the back at the beginning of the season,” said Farlow. “I have b e en play i ng p eople i n different positions to see where they are comfortable and strongest. I put her up front, she seemed to like it up there.” Junior Kiely French gave the Panthers some strong work at center back. “Kiely stepped up, that is what we were hoping she would do,” said Farlow. “She plays ice hockey, I was hoping she would take those skills and transfer them here.” As the season unfolds, Farlow believes that the

Panthers need to develop a more confident mentality in order to step up. “Our focus is just being confident and playing to win; having the attitude that we can win every game,” said Farlow, whose team lost 1-0 to Hun last Monday to move to 1-4 and plays at Peddie on September 24 and at Blair on September 26 before hosting Morrisville High (Pa.) on September 28. “I think we got better during this game.” Mundenar, for her part, feels that the Panthers are getting better and better. “We definitely are making progress, we are improving every game,” said Mundenar. “We just need more practice. I think by the end of the season, we will have made some huge progress. We have a lot of new players and some good freshmen. Everyone is improving; the team is bonding well too.” —Bill Alden

With Simon-Ponte Making Immediate Impact, PDS Girls’ Soccer Maintaining Winning Ways

Overcoming Graduation Losses With Depth, PDS Girls’ Tennis Produces Solid 3-0 Start As a perennial title contender in state Prep B competition, the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team has tended to reload rather than rebuild as it has lost stars to graduation over the years. Despite saying goodbye to singles standouts Maria Martinovic and Emily Dyckman from its Class of 2015, PDS hasn’t skipped a beat this season as it has started 3-0. Panther head coach Ed Tseng is encouraged by his team’s play in the early going. “I am very pleased,” said Tseng, who has guided PDS to three straight Prep B crowns. “We lost our second and third singles, which could be a big blow to a team. We have a deep program.” Tseng is quite pleased to have senior Renee KarchereSun returning at first singles. “Renee is playing great,” said Tseng. “We are very happy to have her back at No. 1. She is playing smart-

er this year; she is going to have a good season.” At second singles, PDS has a great addition in freshman Sydney Vines. “She has good tournament experience, she is a solid player,” said Tseng of Vines. “She plays a lot. Even though she has a lack of experience at the varsity level, I think she is going to be great for us. She already has been.” The squad’s depth is evidenced by the move of Arya Ja from doubles to the singles lineup. “Arya went from doubles to third singles and, in my opinion, is a better singles player anyway than doubles so that works nicely,” said Tseng. “She has got powerful ground strokes and powerful serves. She is a very solid third singles player.” The PDS first doubles team boasts a powerful connection as it features a pair of sisters, senior Devika and freshman Tarika Kumar.

“Kitchen as Art”

“The Kumar sisters are playing doubles together by request, they play well together,” said Tseng. “I asked the older one (Devika) who do you want to play with and she said my sister. I said let’s give it a shot and see how you play together. Let’s play some challenge matches, and it worked out. At second doubles, a pair of veterans, Anna Kovacevich and Tauria Salvati, are working together well. “Anna is very aggressive at the net and as well as Tauria,” added Tseng. “I think their experience is huge. We are fortunate to have them as our second doubles team, they are pretty close to our first doubles. I think from top to bottom, we are pretty deep.” In Tseng’s view, his squad’s depth makes it a title contender in the upcoming Mercer County Tournament. “Overall as a team, I always like our chances,” asserted Tseng, whose team has matches at Peddie on September 24 and at Blair on September 26 before starting play in the county tournament on September 28 at Mercer County Park. “There are a lot of strong teams and I think we are one of them. I think anything can happen on a daily basis, especially at counties. I think we got a shot and it comes down to how we play on those two days.” —Bill Alden

Stuart Field Hockey Taking Its Lumps Early On; But Seeing Good Progress From Game to Game Although the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team has gotten off to a 0-5 start this season, Missy Bruvik is far from discouraged. “I think what is exciting is that we have kids who are learning and each game we take something from it,” said Stuart head coach Bruvik. “We have a tough schedule to do it with, which I hope will pay off in the end.” An example of the Stuart learning curve came when the team battled hard in a 2-1 defeat to Pennington on September 12, a day after losing 2-0 to Princeton Day School. “We changed our system,” said Bruvik. “We looked to put our kids who have a little bit more varsity experience in our midfield and backfield to help direct the younger kids which I thought paid off. I think right now it is really a matter of meshing together.” Things are meshing in the midfield as two seniors, Tori Hannah and Sam Servis, are leading the way along with junior Izzy Engel. “Tori is in the midfield; she can play anywhere on the field,” said Bruvik. “Sam has some of the best stick work on the team, she is smart, she sees the field so we have bumped her back to midfield on the left. She is one of our best low defenders. Izzy looks very good. All of them in the midfield, Izzy, Sam, and Tori, have the green light to go to the goal.” On attack, senior Cate Donahue, sophomore Elle Wigder, and junior Rachel Asir have had some good moments. “We have got Cate Donahue on attack, we moved her into the middle of the field so she can see the ball more,” said Bruvik, whose attack unit also includes sophomore Catharine Biava and junior Jessica D’Amico. “E l l e i s a s op h om or e with lots of potential. She is really a committed kid to not only improving her individual skills but is also very dedicated to what the team needs. Rachel Asir is seeing a lot of time on the forward line, she is a speedy

junior.” T he St uar t defens e is spearheaded by a pair of sophomores Maddie Michaels and Ali Hannah together with freshman Priscilla Francois. “On the back line, we have Maddie Michaels, who has improved tremendously, going to camps,” said Bruvik, who is also using junior Sophia Jeannes on defense. “She has really developed a great game sense and she is smart on the ball. She is probably the most improved player since we started preseason. We put Ali Hannah in the middle in the back and she has done a nice job on the one-on-ones. She has seen a lot of one on ones and she has handled it pretty well. I have a freshman, Priscilla Francois, who is doing a dynamite job; she is another kid who is learning the game.”

Junior Alexxa Newman and sophomore Sam Johnson have been doing a solid job as a goalie tandem. “Both keepers, A lex xa Newman and Sam Johnson, are seeing varsity level play for the first time and they are stepping up,” said Bruvik. As Bruvik looks ahead, she acknowledges that her squad has to step up more in terms of offensive production. “The kids we have are committed and we will continue to adjust our system,” said Bruvik, whose team hosts Blair Academy on September 23, WW/P-S on September 26, and Hun on September 29. “We clearly need to work on scoring in the circle. We are not generating enough corners. We are not having enough circle play to earn corners so that is something we have to really work on.” —Bill Alden

There is no doubt that one of the more heated rivalries in local high school football circles pits the Hun School against the Lawrenceville School. Separated by five miles, t he t wo prog rams have produced some emotional, hard-hitting clashes over the years, often having a direct impact on the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title race. So when Lawrenceville star receiver Luke Apuzzi transferred to Hun for the 2015-16 school year, some wondered how he would fit in with his former foes. But Apuzzi, whose older sister, Lauren, graduated from Hun in 2013, and whose younger sister, Nicole, is a sophomore at the school, has made a smooth transition. “It has been great, everyone has been so open to my transfer, coming from the school down the road,” said Apuzzi, noting that Lawrenceville head coach Dan O’Dea’s decision to leave that school last spring was a major factor in his move to Hun. “My sisters have had a great experience here and I had been around the school a bunch so I came in and I was comfortable right away. T he team has cer tain ly helped that.” As Hun hosted Wyoming Seminary (Pa.) last Friday af ter noon in its s eason opener, the Raiders asserted their dominance right away with Imamu Mayfield taking a short pass from Simon Vadas and racing 65 yards

for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. “It is a great way to start the season, we came out strong,” said Apuzzi. “Imamu hasn’t been practicing that much, he has been hurt a little bit so it was great to see him come out here and do that on the first play of the game. It really set the tone.” Apuzzi scored the second touchdown on a 32-yard reception, dragging Wyoming defenders with him into the end zone. “I was just playing football, it is just how I play,” said Apuzzi, reflecting on the touchdown. “You can’t go down; you have to have everyone come get you to take you down.” Hun played some sensational football over the rest of the contest, rolling to a 70-6 rout of Wyoming. Apuzzi, who ended up with five receptions for 129 yards and two touchdowns, showed an immediate connection with senior quarterback Vadas. “I love working with him,” said Apuzzi of Vadas, who completed 13of-23 passes for 353 yards and six touchdowns in the win over Wyoming. “He is a great guy and a better quarterback.” Playing at safety, Apuzzi also helped the Hun defense produce a stellar effort. “We have a great dynamic on defense; coach (Nick) Steffner runs a great defense,” said Apuzzi. “Kyle ( Hor i ha n ) , Fre d ( Hansard ), and Jordan (McGriff) leading that defense is definitely huge for

us. They are so experienced; they know what they are doing out there.” Hun head coach Todd Smith liked the dynamic play he got from his charges in the opener. “We have a lot of playmakers on the team this year so we just want to get the ball in their hands,” said Smith, who got 145 yards rushing and 85 receiving from Mayfield. “Imamu is a huge part of that. He is a great running back, he is one of the best in the state.” Smith pointed to newcomer Apuzzi as one of the team’s key playmakers. “Luke has been just a great teammate and great kid, he has blended in right away,” said Smith. “There was no animosity, he just fit right in. He walked in and the kids accepted him from day one. He is just a tough kid, he plays tough on both sides of the ball. He was dragging kids into the end zone, he is exactly what you want in a football player. He and Simon have a great rapport already.” While the result on Friday was great for Hun, Smith noted that there was room for improvement. “To be honest with you, I thought we were a little sloppy in the first quarter, we came out and it is our first time playing in two weeks so we just wanted to get the kinks out and I think the kids responded well,” said Smith. “It was a good game on all fronts, the defense played well.” T he Raiders got some good play from its offensive line as it dominated in the trenches. “They were blitzing us a little bit; we weren’t really prepared for that but the kids adjusted well during the game,” said Smith. “We are a little light in the offensive line. We are only seven deep there so everybody there has to know how to do everything. They are pretty good.” As Hun prepares for its clash at Poly Prep (N.Y.) on September 26, Smith is looking for his team to ratchet up its preparation. “This was the blemish on our record last year,” said Smith, who guided Hun to a 7-1 record last fall in his first season at the helm of the program. “We want to go there and play good football and make sure that in the fourth quarter that we are still in the game. I think we are going to hold the kids a lot more accountable at practice. We are going to demand excellence from them. We got the kinks out today. It was a first step. Moving the ball and watching kids make plays, that was good.” In Apuzzi’s view, the Raiders are primed for an excellent effort against Poly Prep. “We have got to keep w o r k i n g, I t h o u g h t w e looked good out here,” said Apuzzi. “The coaches said practice all this week has to be crisp and high tempo, every play, every rep from the scout team to the starters. Everyone has to do their job. We are excited to play them; it is going to be a good challenge and I hope we get the win.” —Bill Alden

After Showing Rust in Opening Day Loss at PDS, Hun Girls’ Soccer Clicks in Win Over Chatham Last fall, the Hun School girls’ soccer team started the season with a 2-1 defeat to South Brunswick but hardly lost again, going 144-1 on the way to the state Prep A title. Playing at Princeton Day School, the defending Prep B champs, on September 15 to open its 2015 campaign, Hun dropped a 2-1 nail-biter. While Raider head coach Joanna Hallac was disappointed with the result, she was able to put it in perspective. “We lost our first game last year and things worked out pretty well, I told the girls to keep their heads up,” said Hallac. “It is hard when you come off a season like they did. You set the bar high, you go into every game expecting to win. We do go into every game expecting to win but we are not going to let it define us and bring us down; we are going to keep focus on our goals.” In reflecting on the defeat, Hallac acknowledged that her team may have been a bit rusty. “Although we had three s c r i m m ag e s, I t h i n k i n terms of the competition, we hadn’t faced competition like this and our last scrimmage was over a week ago,” said Hallac. “We just weren’t game ready, maybe that is the

best way to put it. We need to up our practices a little bit to make sure that we are doing everything we need to do to prepare. I felt like we were a step behind for most of the game.” Although the Raiders fell behind PDS 1-0, they fought back as Abby Gray converted a feed from Kara Borden to make it a 1-1 game at halftime. The Panthers regained the lead, going up 2-1 with 17:15 left in regulation. Hun responded by pushing forward and putting pressure on the PDS defense. While the Raiders didn’t find the back of the net again, Hallac had no qualms with the effort she got from her players. “We had our chances on offense to put the game back in our favor,” said Hallac. “I liked a lot of what I saw. There are definitely some areas that need improvement but I think we can take some positives away

from today.” The partnership between junior midfielder Gray and sophomore forward Borden was a clear positive for the Raiders. “If we can get those two jelling and get Nicole Apuzzi and some of the others involved on the attack a little more, I think we will be in good shape,” said Hallac, whose team defeated Chatham 3-1 last Friday with Borden, Apuzzi, and Marleigh Nocit i s cor ing goals. “We need to get back to the drawing board and figure out where we need to shore some things up.” Hallac is confident that Hun will figure things out and demonstrate championship form. “We have the ability, we have the talent,” said Hallac, whose team plays at Oak Knoll on September 25 before hosting perennial power Pennington on September 29. “We have just got to get clicking on all cylinders.” —Bill Alden

Carl Emil Schorske On September 13 2015, Carl Emil Schorske, Dayton-Stockton Professor of History, Emeritus, Princeton University, died peacefully at age 100 at Meadow Lakes retirement community in Hightstown, New Jersey. Over the last half century he was one of the most widely read and influential experts on Austrian intellectual and cultural life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His essays on Austrian intellectuals, writers, and ar tists published in American historical journals after 1961; the widely acclaimed book, Fin- de siècle Vienna: Politics and Culture (New York: Knopf, 1980); and the later essays gathered in Thinking with History : Explorations in the Passage to Modernism (Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 1998), have shaped thinking for several generations about Vienna’s rich cultural milieu and critical modernist breakthroughs around 1900. His eloquent and insightful prose found a wide international audience: Fin-de-siècle Vienna won the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction in 1981 and was translated into ten other languages. Schorske’s brilliant writings and decades of inspiring teaching at Wesleyan University (1946-60), the University of California, Berkeley (196069), and finally Princeton University (1969-80) earned him many honorary degrees and a MacArthur Fellowship as one of the first cohort of fellows in 1981. His services to Austria, in explaining to the world and to Austrians themselves the unique intellectual and cultural world of Vienna 1900, won him many high honors there, including Corresponding Member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (1984), the Silver Medal for Service to the Republic of Austria (1996), the Ludwig Wittgenstein Prize (2004), the Victor Adler State Prize (2007), Honorary Citizen of the City of Vienna (2012) and finally, on his 100th birthday, the Gold Medal for Service to the Republic. Carl Schorske was the founding director of Princeton University’s Program in European Cultural Studies, established in 1975. His understanding of modern Central European history and culture was so impressive and his command of German so strong that many thought he must have been born in Europe. In fact, he was born in New York City on 15 March 1915. His paternal grandfather was a G er m a n - A m er ic a n cigar maker of leftist convictions; his mother came from a Ger-

figures in the social and political contexts of their lives by a sort of full immersion technique were utterly personal. His work inspired much emulation, but his virtuosity as a scholar was unique and ultimately inimitable. Those who knew him will greatly miss the wonderful person, but we will continue to have the great joy of reading his work. Professor Schorske’s wife, the former Elizabeth Rorke, died last year after more than 70 years of marriage. He is survived by his daughter, Anne; three sons, Carl Theodore, John, and Richard; three g ra ndch i ldren ; a nd t wo great-grandchildren. The obituary was written by Gary B. Cohen (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities; for the Austrian Studies Newsmagazine)

William Alfred Stoltzfus, Jr. William Alfred Stoltzfus, Jr., a career diplomat in the U.S. Foreign Service, died after a brief illness on September 6, 2015. He was born on November 3, 1924, in Beirut, Lebanon, the elder son of William and Ethel Stoltzfus, who were missionaries and educators. He spent his childhood in Syria and Lebanon before attending Deerfield Academy (Class of 1942) and Princeton University (Class of 1946). His studies at Princeton were interrupted by service in the Naval Air Corps which he joined in 1943. After graduating from Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs in 1949, he entered the State Department. His fl uency in Arabic and deep understanding of the history, politics, and culture of the Middle East contributed to a distinguished career as a diplomat, during which he served in Egypt, Libya, Kuwait, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Ethiopia, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain. He served as U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait from 1972 to 1976 and concurrently to Oman, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain from 1972 to 1974. Following his retirement from the Foreign Service he went into banking where he worked in Princeton, New York, and London before finally settling in Princeton in 1990. I n 195 4 A m b a s s a d o r Stoltzfus met his future wife, Janet Sorg, who was a teacher at Beirut College for Women where his father served as president. They were married in the Princeton Chapel in August of that year. They shared a sense of adventure and a commitment to public service over nearly 50 years of marriage before she passed away in 2004. A m b a s s a d or S to l t z f u s is survived by two sons, both married, William III of Hopewell; and Philip of London, England; two daughters, both married, Winifred Host of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, and Rebecca Dineen of Baltimore, Maryland; his sister Lorna Webster; and 7 grandchildren. A memorial service will be held at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton, New Jersey at 2 p.m. on October 11, 2015. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lebanese American University, 211 East 46th Street, New York, New York 10017, attn. Bob Hollback. Arrangements are under the direction of Alloway Funeral Home.

Jerry Gildar Jerry Gildar of Princeton passed on September 3, 2015 at age 74. Through his charming warmth, artful creativity, and unique, ever-present wit, Jerry touched the lives of all those he encountered. He derived great fulfillment by making people smile, laugh, and feel good about themselves. A lifelong artist, Jerry worked with many sculptors including George Segal, and J. Seward Johnson, having learned the secrets of the lost-wax process from mentor Herk Van Tangeren. As Johnson Atelier’s Master-Caster, during the 1980s, Jerry contributed to the resurrection of bronze sculpture as part of the Pop Art movement. Sculptures he cast depicting “theman-on-the-street” engaged in ordinary activities are familiar sights found in many communities in New Jersey and throughout America. Others are found in prominent museum collections, city parks, and sculpture gardens throughout the world. A graduate of Princeton High, Jerry also attended C.W. Post, Princeton Country Day, and Rutgers Prep, where he was honored to serve on the school’s Board of Trustees. He also worked years ago at Princeton’s Alchemist and Barrister. Surviving him are: his devoted son, Edward Gildar, his loving daughter-in-law Brenda, and granddaughter, Brooke, of Hong Kong; His sister Sandra and brother-inlaw, Norman Arky of Boynton Beach, Fla., (formerly of East Brunswick); his sister Anne and brother-in-law Larry Kaufman of Chatham, N.J.; Blossom and Jerry Lowen of Aventura, Fla., (formerly of Highland Park); Ben and Gail Klein, of University Park, Fla. (formerly of Livingston); many cousins, loving nieces and nephews; his great-niece, and nine great-nephews. Jerry was predeceased by his wife Charlotte (Chuckie) Slider Gildar; his parents, Alice and Harry Gildar, longtime owners of Jamesburg’s Paradise Club; and recently by his dear friend, Edward Koenig of South Brunswick. A celebration of Jerry’s life will be held at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton at a future date. There, a memorial fund in Jerry’s honor has been created to which contributions can be made online at http://jerrygildar memorial.org.

man Jewish family. Thanks to his parents, he learned German early. Schorske attended Columbia University, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1936, and t hen went to st udy modern European history at Harvard University, guided principally by the famed political and diplomatic historian William L. Langer. As a Langer student, Schorske served in naval uniform during World War II as a member of the research and analysis branch of the Office of Strategic Services (O.S.S.). Some of Schorske’s earliest publications addressed the challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War II. He began teaching at Wesleyan after leaving military service and finished his doctoral dissertation in 1950. The book based on that dissertation, German Social Democracy, 19051917: The Development Of The Great Schism (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1955), was a pioneering English-language study of the German Social Democratic movement and won praise as a classic work for decades after its publication. While Schorske’s graduate training and initial publications focused largely on political history, he developed strong interests in cultural and intellectual history from an early date. The intellectual historian Jacques Barzun and the literary critic Lionel Trilling were strong influences during Schorske’s undergraduate studies at Columbia. Music was an important strand in his life from early on: in his youth he aspired to be a singer, and he played violin in amateur string quartets through much of his adult life. Anyone who attended a concert or opera performance with Schorske or experienced his insatiable interest in new repertoire saw how central music was to his very being. Schorske’s teaching, research, and writing shifted increasingly to intellectual and cultural history during his years at Wesleyan, and he developed into a brilliant classroom lecturer. His literary, artistic, and musical sensibilities showed strongly in the almost improvisatory lecture style he employed in his famous courses on intellectual history at Wesleyan, Berkeley, and Princeton. At Princeton he would typically come into the classroom with only minimal notes and then spin out an extended discourse on the topic, often like a long musical riff, knitted together by a sustained metaphor ic t rop e. G en erations of undergraduates were enthralled by his lectures — which earned him a place in a Time magazine cover story in May 1966 as one of the ten best American college teachers — just as countless readers were dazzled by his elegant and deeply insightful writings in intellectual history. Schorske believed that graduate seminars should run in as democratic and egalitarian a way as possible, but he was a sagacious, exacting, and constructive reader of his graduate students’ papers and dissertation chapters — which I was privileged to experience during his early years at Princeton. Carl Schorske’s eloquent discursive style and his wonderfully insightful examining of intellectual and artistic

Augustine Rhodes Augustine Warner Janeway (Tina) Rhodes, aged 86, daughter of Augustine Smith and Helen Gulick Janeway, died on August 22nd, 2015, in Haverford, Pa. Tina was a resident of Perico Bay Club in Bradenton, Fla. and Windrows in Princeton. Tina was born in Phoenixville, Pa. on February 1, 1929. As a child she lived in Phoenixville, Washington D.C., Harrisburg, Pa., and Ventnor, N.J. She moved with her family as her father served in various leadership positions in government service, including commanding officer of the Pennsylvania National Guard and executive director of the Pennsylvania General State Authority. After graduating from Oldfields School in Glencoe, Md. in 1946, she spent a postgraduate year at the Agnes Ir-

win School in Rosemont, Pa. before attending the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. After graduating in 1951 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Tina worked as an editor at Curtis Publishing in Philadelphia. Tina was married on August 2nd, 1952 to William (Bill) McKinney at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, Pa. They had one child before Bill died in 1956. On St. Valentine’s Day in 1958, Tina married William Harker Rhodes at Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oaks, Pa. Harker adopted Tina’s son Gus, as his own, and they had four more children together: Sandy, Anne, Chris, and Jason. Tina was a skilled and passionate artist. She was very active in musical theater as a young woman. With her sister, Julia Janeway Sibley, she co-wrote a number of musicals which were performed by The Main Line Music Crafters. The 1980’s saw her blossom again with the prolific creation of watercolor portraits. During her later years, Tina wrote a screenplay, “Dinner With Henry Van Dyke”, about the American Presbyterian minister and author whose works involved elevating sympathy for man, fostering companionship with nature, and promoting a reverent view of life. Whether she was riding horseback, judging dressage competitions, or providing commentatary for the crowds

during tournaments at the Jackson Hole Polo Club, Tina had a zest for all things equestrian. She was an excellent bridge player, enjoyed vacationing in Cape May, staying at The Chalfonte Hotel, and sailing with the Corinthian Yacht Club. She supported the Sarasota Symphony and loved to attend concerts at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. She also loved to listen to The Four Freshman. Tina was a member of both Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Anna Maria Island, Fla., and Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton. A devout Christian, she studied old-testament Greek and Latin, and took graduate courses in divinity at Duke University. While living in Tucson, Ariz., she volunteered at the Casa de los Ninos, caring for abused children. She also offered prison ministry to inmates at the local penitentiary. Her quality of spirit is easily seen in the many religious, humanitarian, and environmental charities to which she routinely and generously contributed. Tina is survived by her sister, Skee Gilbreath, of Atlanta, Georgia; five children and their spouses (Gus and Cindy Rhodes; Sandy and Paula Rhodes; Anne and Bob Amos; Chris and Carol Rhodes; and Jason and Lisa Rhodes); seven grandchildren (Mariah Rhodes, Nathan Amos, Sarah Amos, Elizabeth Rhodes, Christina Rhodes, Farrah Rhodes Nathan Garfield, Dinah Williams, and Pierce

THINKING OF SELLING NEXT YEAR? NOW'S THE TIME TO PLAN Some people are natural planners, while others – not so much. But if you're planning on selling your home next year, now is the time to start planning the big event so you can make sure you and your home are ready to roll. And it all starts by speaking to an agent.

It's true every year can bring changes to the market, but recent years have been fairly stable, which means the prices and other sales data from this season will be a pretty good predictor for nest year. Speaking with an agent now means you'll have an idea of what kind of price your home might bring as well as what surrounding homes are selling for. Plus, you can also find out about features that are appealing to area buyers so you have plenty of time to make upgrades that could bring a higher price or a faster sale – or both.

THANK YOU, ROBIN!

Want to own a piece of architectural history? This custom mid-century home was designed by Robert Venturi and William Short in a one-time collaborative effort right on Lake Carnegie in Princeton. Having only two owners since it was built in 1960, all of the original features are intact, including many cork ﬂoors, gorgeous wood banister, specially designed tile surround on the living room ﬁreplace, and an abundance of built in shelves, drawers and bookcases. The windows in the back have a drop-dead view of the Lake, and the volume ceilinged Great Room opens directly to the water. The lot itself is off the charts, sloping gently to the water, and having it’s own dock!!! Three or four bedrooms, 3 full baths, and the World’s Fair “Kitchen of the Future” One of a kind, and so easy to live in. $2,000,000 (also for rent for $4,000/month)

Sophisticated ﬁve bedroom colonial (one bedroom is on the main level), a beautifully redone chef’s kitchen with sunroom/breakfast room, and a family room with vaulted ceiling combine to make this one very special offering. A pastoral setting, complete with a sweet barn, right here in Princeton, is waiting for you, and the icing on the cake is the fact that you can have a horse!!! Why spend time traveling to a stable 45 minutes away, when you can walk right out your door and have a quick ride? (if horses are not in the plan, the barn is tucked away from sight and perfect for storing things!). $995,000

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!

You can feel just like the children pictured above do in your five bedroom, 4½ bath colonial on Dogwood Hill. This peaceful retreat provides an excellent retreat from the hubbub of Nassau Street, yet is just minutes away. Beautiful oak floors, lots of windows, and gorgeous lot contribute to the appeal of this special listing. A separate nanny or guest suite, finished basement with sauna, and inground free-form pool make this Princeton property the perfect place to call “home”. $997,000

THANK YOU, ROBIN!

Custom built for it’s current owner and full of surprises, this four bedroom home is bursting with creative touches. Spacious rooms create an open plan, yet there is plenty of privacy. Large rooms provide the ability to entertain with ease, and lend themselves to family and friends gathering round. A surprise sunroom right off the kitchen is an added treat. Spectacular lot, with perfect pool, can be viewed and enjoyed from the many decks wrapped around the house. Professional ﬁnished basement opens to the back yard. Just bring your rocking chair and move right in this unique Princeton property. $1,175,000

WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME!

Want a taste of easy living and don’t like Florida? Cherry Valley Country Club, in Montgomery, certainly offers this. Recently redone clubhouse features dining, recreational facilities, and more. Golf is available if you choose. In fact, the back terraces of this lovely contemporary colonial overlook the ninth hole of the golf course. Magnificent two storey entry leads your eye through the house right to this unbelievable view. Four bedrooms, with the Master on the first floor, add to a cleverly designed floor plan. Finished basement, of course. $885,000

Nestled at the end of a lovely cul-de-sac, this is one special property! Exquisitely landscaped, with stone walls and specimen plantings, this 5 bedroom colonial has tons of space, as well as a marvelous kitchen. Enjoy entertaining in the gracious living room and dining room, and hang out every day in the large family room. Beautiful hardwood ﬂoors are to be found in most rooms, and the ﬁnished basement is carpeted and very welcoming, with a full bath. Au pair or guest accommodations are found upstairs; cleverly positioned so that they can be incorporated into the Master bedroom area for a knockout master suite. Lawrenceville, with a Princeton address, and waiting for you! $795,000
