School Board Forum Presents Six Hopefuls For Only Three Seats

The six candidates who will be on the ballot for the Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education election on November 7 presented their qualifications and shared their perspectives on the greatest challenges facing the district in the coming years in a forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters (LWV) in the Municipal Building Monday night. Vying for three available seats, currently filled by Justin Doran, Fern Spruill, and Connie Witter, who will be stepping down in January at the end of their three-year terms, the widely experienced contenders, with resumes from the worlds of business, law, nonprofits, education, public service, science, and theology, discussed how their education and experience will help them address the most important issues facing the district. The candidates, all parents of current Continued on Page 12

Two Fatalities on Princeton Junction Tracks In two separate incidents that occurred two days apart, two people were struck and killed by Amtrak trains near the Princeton Junction station. The first, on Thursday afternoon, September 28, involved a Princeton High School sophomore and is believed to have been a suicide. The Crescent train 20 was on its way from New Orleans to New York when it struck the student at about 2:45 p.m., according to an Amtrak spokesman. The second incident took place Saturday evening, September 30, when Amtrak train 92 hit an individual at about 8:30 p.m. On Friday, parents of Princeton High School students received emails from Principal Gary Snyder and Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane advising them of the news, and offering suggestions for emotional support. “We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of our 10th grade stu-

dents,” Snyder wrote. “We have shared the news with the students this morning in first period class and have set up counseling stations to support both students and staff. Our thoughts are with the student’s family, friends, and everyone affected by this tragic loss. Counselors and other trained professionals from throughout the school, district, and community will be at PHS today to offer support to students and staff during this time.” Cochrane wrote, “This is a time of mourning for our entire community. We encourage you to do what you are probably doing already: reach out to your kids, ask them how they are doing, tell them that you love them. You may also want to encourage them to share with you or with adults at school any concerns they may have about their own emotional health or that of their friends.” Both messages referred parents to local community resources as well as articles about dealing with loss and trauma.

The Saturday incident involved the Silver Star train that operates between New York City and Miami. The train “came into contact with a person who was on the tracks near Princeton Junction station at around 8:30 p.m. yesterday,” said Amtrak spokesman Jason Abrams, in an email on Monday. “There were 52 passengers Continued on Page 12

Littlebrook Named Blue Ribbon School; Sustainable Jersey Honors Three Schools Princeton Public Schools (PPS) have several causes for celebration this fall, with Littlebrook Elementary winning a Blue Ribbon School designation from the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) and Littlebrook (LB), John Witherspoon Middle School (JW), and Johnson Park Elementar y (JP) all

earning bronze certification from Sustainable Jersey’s Sustainable Schools program. Recognized by the DOE for high student achievement and quality programs, Littlebrook was one of only nine public schools in New Jersey, 342 public and private schools nationwide, to receive the Blue Ribbon distinction this year.

creating authentic learning opportunities was fantastic.” JW implemented a composting and recycling program for its cafeteria last year, created a Room of Requirement where school supplies can be recycled and re-used by students, and expanded its garden program. “Students, parents, and teachers have contributed to the success of our recycling and composting program in the cafeteria and the expansion of our gardens into the courtyard and memorial garden in front of the building,” “I am so proud of our staff said JW science teacher and for the work they do each Green Team member Janet day to make Littlebrook Gaudino. Elementar y a war m and Continued on Next Page welcoming school where students thrive,” said Annie Gonzalez Kosek, new district assistant superintendent, who was principal of Littlebrook for the past 14 years. LB, with a student population of approximately 350 who speak more than 20 different languages, prides itself on caring, kindness, and collaboration, according to a PPS press release. Luis Ramirez took the helm as LB principal this past July. “Littlebrook’s Blue Ribbon award is more than a celebration of our students’ outstanding academic performance,” said Superintendent Steve Cochrane. “It is also a celebration of the school’s caring relationships and innovative instruction.” LB and other National Blue Ribbon Schools will be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on November 6-7. Each school will receive a plaque and flag to signify its Blue Ribbon status. Sustainability Science supervisor and head of the district’s Green Team Eddie Cohen praised the three schools recognized by Sustainable Jersey and noted that the other three schools in the district are poised to earn bronze certification, awarded for making a commitment to sustainability and succeeding in implementing significant first steps towards that goal, by the end of this school year. “We are really excited with the great work that our students, staff, parents, and community members have done together,” Cohen said. “The collaboration amongst so many stakeholders to improve our practices while

Blue Ribbon School Continued from Preceding Page

At J P s t udent s, s taf f, and parents have created a School Leadership Council, where students work together on issues that are important to their well-being in school, such as trying to eliminate disposable water bottles and other one-time use plastics, and caring for a school garden.

“In addition to providing hands-on experiences for students to tend a garden and observe first-hand food growing from seed, our garden is also an official way station for the migrating monarch butterfly with a variety of native plants and milkweed,” said JP instructional aide and Green Team member Bentley Drezner. At LB, science lab teacher and Green Team member

Martha Friend notes that “the students have always been caretakers of each other and of the environment. They are committed to our school-wide food compost program, and collect wrappers and packaging for our many TerraCycle brigades. Our students are wastesorting machines. I couldn’t be prouder to be part of this conscientious and caring school community.”

Talk on F. Scott Fitzgerald At University Oct. 6

P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y’s Lewis Center for the Arts presents F. Scott Fitzgerald: New in Bookstores & Now Playing, a discussion of recent work in print and on screen showcasing the legacy of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Princeton Class of 1917, with noted biographer and Princeton alumnus A. Scott Berg ‘71 and author and editor Anne Margaret Daniel *99, who received her PhD from Princeton. The talk is on October 6 at 4:30 p.m. in the James M. Stewart ’32 Theater at 185 Nassau Street and is free and open to the public. The event is presented as part of A Festival of the Arts at Princeton University to celebrate the opening of the new Lewis Center for the Arts complex on the Princeton campus, October 5 through 8. Berg is the author of five bestselling biographies, and a consulting producer on the recent Amazon Original Series, The Last Tycoon, an adaptation of Fitzgerald’s final, unfinished novel set in 1930s Hollywood and starring Matt Bomer, Kelsey Grammer, and Rosemarie DeWitt. Daniel is editor of the recently published I’d Die for You and Other Lost Stories. The book is a collection of the last remaining unpublished and uncollected short stories and film scenarios by Fitzgerald, many written during the last decade of his life. “These stories are predominantly from the middleand late-1930s. They are not from the Jazz Age but from the Great Depression, and they feel like that,” said Daniel in a recent interview. For more information visit lcaopening.princeton.edu/event/ last-tycoon/.

Nevo: “Finding frogs and turtles.” Keshet: “Picking up leaves and playing in nature.” —Nevo and Keshet Abulof, Princeton


The Princeton Municipal Council last week approved, by a 5-1 margin, a revised proposal from J. Rober t Hillier, architect, developer, and a Town Topics shareholder, to continue to rent rather than sell eight housing units in the Waxwood Building on Quarry Street in the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) section of Princeton. “My goal has been to make as many affordable units as I can available to the widest number of residents and descendants of residents of the Witherspoon- Jackson Community,” Hillier said, pointing out that current tenants and other W-J residents would prefer the lessexpensive option of rentals over purchases. Though the original 2002 agreement between Hillier and the municipality called for Hillier to sell the units, subsequent amendments to that agreement had allowed the rentals to continue. Hillier’s proposal last week was largely supported by members of the W-J community who spoke, but before voting its approval the Council pushed him to increase from seven to eight the number of affordable units available. Rather than five foundation and three affordable income units, the revised agreement called for one very low-income unit, two low-income u nits, t hree moderate-income units, and two middle-income units, all as defined by the Council on Affordable Housing and/or Princeton’s affordable housing regulation requirement that the units be rented to applicants who have resided in the John Witherspoon neighborhood for at least 10 years, or to direct descendants of such neighborhood residents. Mayor Liz Lempert expressed her suppor t for Hillier’s revised proposal. “It’s the best outcome for where we are right now,” she said. “It’s impor tant

that we have an agreement that best matches the spirit of the original. The modified agreement does the best job of meeting the spirit of the original agreement.” She added, “This was a long process. I’m thankful for the residents who participated and for Mr. Hillier’s flexibility and willingness to compromise.” According to a survey circulated by Hillier last month, two-thirds of the neighborhood residents were for continuing the rental of the Waxwood units, while only six percent were for selling them. Pointing out the financial advantages of renting rather than buying, Hillier said, ”My intention has been to do the right thing for this community that has been so important to this town.” Councilman Lance Liverman agreed. “It’s time we look at what people can afford,” he said. “The W-J community is asking for affordable housing, a decent place to live in a community that they grew up in. The majority of the neighborhood has asked, ‘Can we leave these as rentals?’ That’s what’s best for the neighborhood.” Council member Jo Butler, the lone dissenter in the vote to approve Hillier’s revised proposal, argued that the original 2002 agreement should be maintained and the units should be put up for sale. “I’m in favor of holding Mr. Hillier to the first deal,” she said. Emphasizing the advantages of home ownership, she added, “Ten years from now we will look back, and people will wish they had purchased.” Among the numerous community members who spoke in support of Hillier’s proposal were long-time W-J residents Shirley Satterfield, a historian and educator whose family has lived in Princeton for six generations, and Housing Authority Board member Leighton Newlin. “There has been lots of disagreement, but Waxwood is central to

the issue of maintaining an African American presence in the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood,” said Newlin. “Only one of his tenants took issue with the rental agreement. Those individuals who are current residents do not have the ability to purchase.” George Cumberbatch, a Waxwood renter since 2004 who had expressed a desire to purchase a unit, had hired a lawyer, Robert Lytle, to represent him at an earlier Council session in opposition to Hillier’s proposal to change the units to permanent rentals. At last week’s Council meeting, however, which Cumberbatch was unable to attend, Lytle reported that Cumberbatch’s “concerns have been addressed” and that he supports Hillier’s proposal. Hillier redeveloped Waxwood 15 years ago to create housing out of what had been first the segregated Witherspoon School for Colored Children, then a nursing home, then the Waxwood building, named after school principal Harry Waxwood Jr. Hillier noted that restoration of the building had cost about $11 million. —Donald Gilpin

Diamonds and is titled The End Of It All: Wentworth House, The Fitzwilliams and the 1940s Labour Government. The talk describes the coda to the political and social forces set in motion by the Glorious Revolution and the 1689 Bill of Rights that Peter described in his earlier talk on the the English Landscape Garden movement, Politics in the Garden. Ham looks at Wentworth House (the largest private

house in the UK — stunning in both its scale and decoration) and briefly describes the history of the Earls Fitzw illiam, who ow ned the house from 1778 to 1979. His focus is on the way in which the estate’s coal-based wealth and the Fitzwilliams were targeted by the hardleft government of Clement Atlee following World War II in their efforts to break up the landed aristocracy.

for the move has been mentioned. “My client closed with the post office and is the owner of this building,” attorney Richard Goldman assured the planners, referring to California developer David Eichler, before the vote was taken. “He is committed to this project, and in a big financial way.” Eichler’s firm won the bidding war for the property in 2013, when the longtime postal branch was targeted for closing as part of a nationwide downsizing by the U.S. Post Office. The branch moved to a smaller location behind the 7-Eleven store on East Nassau Street in 2015. E i c h l e r a n d Tr i u m p h founder Adam Rechnitz have proposed a new glass entrance at what was previously the loading dock of the old post office building. They have pledged to preserve the historic character of the 80-year-old building, the oldest on Palmer Square, while adapting it for use as a 13,000-square-foot restaurant. In addition to the glass enclosed entry, plans include a widened sidewalk, benches, and the planting of trees. “Nobody on our side is fighting in any way to change the building. Our goal is to restore, preserving as it looks today except for the new glass entry in the back,” Goldman said. “The remaining facades will stay as they are.” Goldman and others representing the project appeared before the Planning Board numerous times before finally getting approval at

the September 28 meeting. Preservation architect Michael Mills and traffic consultant Georges Jacquemart were among those presenting different aspects of the proposal and fielding questions from the board at previous meetings. Traffic, parking, preservation, and floor area were among the concerns expressed by some planners and members of the public. Jacquemart concluded, in a study, that there is ample parking available for the hours that the restaurant would be open. Planning Board member David Cohen said that while he is enthusiastic about the proposal, especially its preservation aspects, he still had “niggling concerns” about the parking. The Princeton Environmental Commission and Princeton Historical Commission have weighed in with recommendations during the process. Goldman said that with the exception of adding showers, most of the environmental commission’s suggestions would be followed. “We’ll consider them all and implement as many as we can,” he said. Planning Board chair Wanda Gunning expressed enthusiasm for the proposal. “I feel a lot of affection for the historic buildings of Princeton,” she said. “It’s really a remarkable plan and I’m looking forward to having it go forward.” Triumph, which also has a location in New Hope, Pa., has been operating out of a former bowling alley at 138 Nassau Street for the past 22 years. —Anne Levin

They Grew Up in Princeton And Remember It Well At a meeting of Princeton Council last month, the Facebook group I Grew Up in Princeton was honored by the governing body with a special Certificate of Appreciation. Administrators of the group were on hand to accept the certificate, which praises them “for their outstanding contributions to the Princeton community.” The ceremony was captured on video by filmmaker Brad Mays, a member of the group known locally for his 2014 documentary, also called I Grew Up in Princeton. Mays’ position behind the camera prompted Mayor Liz Lempert to joke that it was the first time the paparazzi had attended a Princeton Council meeting. Marjorie Morse Bell, one of five administrators of the group, became involved by default in 2008. Her son Collin, then a sophomore at Princeton High School (PHS), decided to start the group as a kind of experiment. “He’s very gregarious,” she recalled. “He did it for fun, just to see how many of his friends would join. And Facebook was a fairly new thing at the time. Since I was a graduate of Princeton High, he asked me to see if I could get my contemporaries interested.” People from Bell’s era — she graduated in 1978 — began to sign up. So did plenty of others, especially those from an earlier decade. “It has really taken off with people who are a bit older than me, the ones who graduated in the late ’60s

and early ’70s,” she said. “They have amazing stories and a lot to say.” Among that contingent is Michael Lemonick, a well known science writer and editor and a 1971 graduate of PHS. “So many people from my years have flooded it to the point that we basically took it over, though not on purpose,” he said. “People are reminiscing about what they call the good old days. The group is a gathering place for people who grew up here, to talk about memories of the past, and their impressions of the town today. There are discussions on contemporary issues like the McMansion explosion, places we remember that are being torn down, the move of the Dinky station — with vehement opinions on both sides.” Membership is not limited to PHS graduates. Francesca Segalas, an alumna of Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart, is among the administrators. “We wanted to represent the private as well as public schools, and we come together from all corners of the world to talk about Princeton,” she said. “Facebook is a place where people get to know each other without actually meeting. Zachary Tumin and I are the oldest of the administrators, so we come from our time.” Elisha J. White is the other person with administrative duties. There are nearly 3,000 members of I Grew Up in

Princeton today. Some still live in the area; many others live far away. “Basically, people are wistful about the fact that there used to be much more of a small town feel here,” Lemonick said. “Every store on Nassau Street was owned by parents of kids you went to school with. You went into a place like the Army & Navy Store and you knew the people who owned it and worked there. You went into Urken Hardware and there was Irv (Urken). Before him, it was his mother. The same was true for most of the stores. And you went to school with the kids. So there is that element of wistfulness.” Group members post photographs, and the occasional video. Bell said she has learned a lot she didn’t know about the town from reading and communicating with those who were in Princeton before she arrived as a kindergartener in 1964. “I have learned a lot about the history,” she said. “The desegregation that took place before my time was a real eye-opener for me. People talk about things like Bobby Kennedy’s funeral train going through Princeton Junction, which I knew nothing about. It’s been very educational for me.” The group is open to people who grew up in Princeton or have a connection to the town. Councilman Tim Quinn, a longtime resident who didn’t grow up in Princeton, is a member. It was he who presented the certificate to Lemonick, Se-

Meeting, Princeton Citizen Scientists at Public Library

On October 12 at 6:30 p.m., the Princeton Public Library is teaming up with the Princeton Citizen Scientists to host a series of teachins centered around science and democracy. Several quick-fire workshops will be led by experts on climate change, psychology, nuclear non-proliferation, and more, who will guide discussion between Princeton community members and students. The

event is free and will begin in the Community Room of the Princeton Public Library. In this new style of event, participants can explore several different topics in a single evening, rotating between different teach-in stations. Leaders will describe the impact of their topic before opening up a roundtable conversation. After each session, leaders will distribute recommendations for concrete engagement on the municipal, state, and national levels. Teach-in topics will include the costs of healthcare, energy efficient initiatives in New Jersey, national climate change policy, immigration and social justice, education in prisons, cybersecurity, and nuclear weapons. Participants are welcome no matter their previous knowledge on each subject. The event is a collabora-

or recent students in the district schools, responded to questions gathered from various sources, including high school students, members of the audience, and others in the community. The priorities of the six candidates, in reflecting on the schools and their needs, seemed to align closely with the concerns expressed in the range of questions asked. Managing growth, overcrowding, and a $95 million budget was a key topic. Dealing with stress and promoting physical and mental well-being was another much emphasized concern, with several speakers eager to take more energetic action in response to the disturbing results of last fall’s Stanford Survey of Adolescent School Experiences. And the related question of how to do a better job of listening to and engaging students prompted much commentary from the candidates. How best to confront racial bias and achievement gaps and to promote racial literacy in the schools was another focal point of the discussion. Beth Behrend emphasized the value of her experience as a corporate lawyer, as well as her extensive involvement in the schools and in a range of local nonprofit organizations. ”We’re running out of space and we’re in a financial box,” she said. “We need to sit down and work together.”

Behrend also emphasized her overall concern about wellness and reaching out to all of the students in the district. “What happens to the kids who don’t take the advanced classes? I have a lot of concern about that.” Behrend suggested that the Stanford Survey should be administered every year so that the district could chart its progress, “and we should hold the administration accountable to see that things get done.” Jessica Deutsch, a college and pre-med advisor at Princeton and Rutgers Universities and privately to high school and college students and parents all over the country, also weighed in directly on the question of wellness and balance in PPS. “How do we create a culture of wellness?” she asked. She emphasized the issue of homework and said that the key point is the quality of the assignments, not just how many minutes. “We need to think about homework in the context of the full educational experience. Is the homework meaningful? We also need to consider how we’re providing social structure for our kids. Are they known for who they are, not just what they do?” James K. Fields, a Princeton resident for the past five years, was an associate pastor and dean of students at a school in Maryland and currently serves as interim director of the Christian Union at Princeton University. He noted that his priorities are “to build bridges and to focus on how we deal with racial issues.” He added that the PPS faculty and administration should more accurately reflect the student population. “We need to have people from different backgrounds in positions of leadership to help minority voices to be heard,” he said. Fields cited his experience in working with “the largest student organization on campus” at Princeton University and emphasized that “stewardship is very important to me.” As a scientific writer, researcher, and an energetic volunteer at Littlebrook and John Witherspoon, Jenny Ludmer emphasized the importance of the kind of analysis, questioning, and collaboration that she has learned to use in identifying areas in the schools that need improvement and in implementing those changes. Ludmer also highlighted the need for more transparency and better communication with parents. “We need to do more intentional listening,” she said. “We need to make it easier for parents to give feedback to the

board and administration.” She recommended that the Board issue parent satisfaction surveys. Julie Ramirez, a project manager at Goldman Sachs for 18 years before beginning work last fall with the Office of Finance and Treasury at Princeton University, pointed out the value of her experience in addressing crucial needs of the district. “I’m eager to apply my professional experience to an area I feel passionately about,” she said. Ramirez noted a number of the challenges that Board members will face. “How do we preserve excellence in the face of these challenges?” she asked. ”How do we react to the Stanford Survey without overreacting?” Michele Tuck-Ponder, who served two terms on the Princeton Township Committee and three years as mayor, and has led a number of nonprofit organizations, currently operates a consulting firm. She emphasized that her years of public service have taught her that “it takes a village” to educate children. She noted that one reason she’s running for School Board is that “I can’t do anything about what’s happening in Washington, D.C., but I can do something here.” Racial sensitivity training and racial literacy training, she argued “are not going to get us to where we need to go. We need to change the structure.” Tuck-Ponder mentioned the need for greater diversity in faculty and administration, not just hiring more teachers of color, but also creating a support system to help them and make sure that they stay. —Donald Gilpin

Police Blotter On September 27, at 9:04 a.m. a 59-year-old Princeton man was arrested and charged with criminal sexual contact. The 17-year-old female victim filed a complaint with police alleging that the suspect grabbed her buttocks the previous day. The alleged incident occurred at the New York Sports Club gym in Princeton, where the suspect is a custodian. This incident is unrelated to other incidents of this nature that have occurred in other parts of Princeton. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

T

ired of cutting the g r as s, r a k i n g t h e leaves, and shoveling the snow? All the home repairs, continued maintenance — and all the rest? All these responsibilities of home ownership can be a burden as time goes by, and many people are looking into rental opportunities.

IT’S NEW To Us

As one tenant who is enjoying the benefits of renting put it: “Just pick up the phone, and someone comes to take care of the problem. How nice is that!” The newly-opened Residences At Carnevale Plaza at 255 Nassau Street offer quality rental living with a convenient in-town location. Many Princetonians will remember the address as the former site of the longtime Davidson’s Market. Owned by Lou and Rocco Carnevale, the building has been completely redeveloped and reconfigured, points out project manager Linda Fahmie, whose company ROI Renovations and Development was in charge of development. Long Experience “When the Carnevales set out to proceed with the project, their goal was to develop the property as

a quality development,” said Fahmie. “The residential portion would be built to quality standards, and could be a place to call home. It wouldn’t just be a transient stop; residents will really make it a home.” T he C ar neva le s have long experience in real estate, having owned property in Kingston, Rocky Hill, and Princeton. Many will remember their Annex Restaurant, a long-time Princeton mainstay. The new constr uction features 23 two and threebedroom apartments, many with a balcony. A spacious roof-top patio overlooks the surrounding streetscape as well as sections of the Princeton University campus. On-site parking and a landscaped plaza fronting on Nassau Street are other welcome advantages. The location at the nor theastern section of town appeals to the new tenants, adds Fahmie. “It’s the location. The convenience is unsurpassed. A lot of people are changing their lifestyle and are often downsizing. Many residents consider t his eastern section of town as the ‘SoHo’ of Princeton. It’s a lively pedestrian mix of fascinating places.” Princeton and Beyond The property is located near the post office, 12 varied cafes and restaurants, a New York-style

deli, two coffee shops, two package goods stores, a salon, dry cleaner, and gas station. Those who like to bike will find Jay’s Cycles close by. Tenants are coming from the Princeton area and beyond, including Manhattan and even as far as Michigan. “They like the urban setting with the availability of all Princeton has to offer, and many of the tenants mention how pleased they are to be able to walk to events on the Princeton Universit y campus, and be in town,” says Lou Carnevale. “Also, they often want a place that is near their grown kids who are here.” It is a nice mix of people, he adds. All ages, with couples, families, and singles. “One family has four kids under 10 years old, and there are older people. Some are retired, but most are still working,” Dr. Joseph Tricarico and his wife Joyce, formerly of Hillsborough, were t he first tenants to sign up, reports Fahmie. A dentist and a lawyer, Dr. Tricarico learned about this new opportunity and decided to look into it. “Like a lot of people, we planned to downsize,” he explains. “We wanted to live in a town environment, where we could walk to restaurants, movies, and the theater. We also wanted to be in a college town. We are very pleased to be here. This is a very nicely con s t r u c te d ap ar t m e nt building, a step above what other buildings offer.” Top-of-the-Line It is certainly high quality every way. Top-of-the-line materials have been used t hroughout, points out Fahmie. Kitchen countertops in third floor apartments feature Taj Mahal quar t z ite, w it h g ran ite countertops in the other apartments. Slow close, dovetail drawers, and porcelain tile backsplashes with under-counter lighting are a plus, as are islands and custom pendant lighting above. Baths offer elegant porcelain tile floor and shower walls, recessed lighting, and curbless shower entry with glass doors. Moen fixtures are in both the baths and kitchen. The open concept, so favored today, is an important factor in the floor plan, and as Lou Carnevale notes, “You can fit in more in less space with the open concept.” Attractive custom molding is another feature, as are select hickory plank f lo or i ng, a nd rece s s e d lighting throughout. Special at tention has been paid to include distinctive lighting throughout the building. As Fahmie points out, “Lighting adds interest. Lighting is like the ribbon on the package!” Each apartment has a washer and dr yer, and most units have pipes for installation of gas fireplaces. Many bedrooms have walk-in closets. A four- s tor y elevator is available (including to

the roof patio), and the handsome lobby features vintage-style mailboxes, up-lighting, and attractive porcelain tile flooring with pew ter ins er ts. French doors separate the lobby from the residential area, and entry is electronic with key pads. EnvironmentallyFriendly “We have very good security with electronic entry cameras, and also, the building is fully sprinkled,” says Lou Carnevale. “Everything is built on steel. It is a steel and concrete structure. This is an energy-efficient building, and environmentally-friendly products have been used throughout. This extends to the landscaping, which includes plantings and seating in the plaza and on the roof.” He adds that storage is available in the lobby and on the roof. Parking, both open and reserved, is provided in the building’s adjoining parking area. Te na nt s m ay have a maximum of t wo pets, and a monthly pet fee is required, notes Fahmie. “The pets must be breeds that work well in a community environment. Mostly, they are dogs and cats.” Applicat ion for resi dency continues to be underway, she adds, and the building is now more than half filled. A very encouraging sign, since it just opened in midSeptember. A strong credit score is necessary, as is a background check for anyone over 18.

QUALITY AND CONVENIENCE: “People are often more interested in renting today. They prefer not to have the upkeep and maintenance of owning a home.” Lou Carnevale (right), co-owner of The Residences At Carnevale Plaza, and Linda Fahmie, project manager, are very proud of this new opportunity for quality living in an inviting in-town Princeton location. Quality Property “This is a quality property, and it is priced appropriately for a quality property,” she explains. In addition to the residential apartments, the property includes TD Bank and a Bon Appetit kiosk on the plaza. The latter will serve coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and other products daily from Bon Appetit’s main location in the Princeton Shopping Center. “This is a special place,” says Fahmie. “People like it for so many reasons, including the availability of arts and culture and the richness of the community in Princeton. Also, there is the question of time. This is often the biggest thing. People don’t want to take time to manage all the upkeep, maintenance, etc. of owning a home.

“The tenants are so nice, really lovely people. I enjoy them so much. They really understand the benefits of moving into a community like this. Adds L ou C ar neva le : “To me, it’s a great pleasure to go up on the roof and see the view, and be able to look out on part of the university campus. You can also see the Fourth of July fireworks and hear the music. There are just so many benefits here. And, if people want to, it can be an excellent way to age in place. One-floor living is easier. You won’t have to give up your home.” For further information, call (609) 477-6577; email: office@carnevaleplaza. com. Website : w w w.carnevaleplaza.com. —Jean Stratton

Since none of this relates to Next I tried King Lear, usually a reliable McPhee’s conversation about usage with energy source, but this is the play that New Yorker editor William Shawn, the begins when Lear tells Cordelia “Nothing question is how a writer who refers earlier will come of nothing,” which dooms them in the same chapter to his eighth grade both and is the word at the dead center teacher’s account of Flaubert’s search for of my ennui. for le mot juste ended up with Buddah’s After several other futile options, I pick gong. Born in 1931, McPhee would have up Draft No. 4: John McPhee On the been around 13 at the time he took Miss Writing Process (Farrar, Straus and Gir- Bartholomew’s class, i.e. 1944, the same oux $25), the book I’ve been reading for the past six weeks. At 192 pages, it’s not a tome, nor is it a page-turner, but only because you want to make it last. During my hike through the last stretch of summer McPhee’s book has been like a canteen full of cold water, to be sipped as needed. At this most needful moment, I find a sentence that startles, delights, refreshes, and energizes me. Concerning the use in his work of the “irregular restrictive ‘which,’” McPhee writes: “Confronting this memory, I cannot say that it kicks old Buddha’s gong.” Is Hoagy Carmichael’s “Hong Kong Blues” being quoted in a sentence about syntax? Probably not, but never mind. The blahs are gone, I’m alive again. Out the door and into the car I go, on my way to Indiana by way of McCaffrey’s. In the long check-out line I’m standing behind a man in a St. Louis Cardinals t-shirt. In all the years I’ve lived in New Jersey, this is the first time I’ve found myself in close proximity to another Cardinal fan. Normally I would never start a conversation with a stranger. But this is no stranger; this is someone who has lived through the same manic-depressive season, hopes roused only to be dashed, again and again. When I ask if he thinks the Cards still have a chance to make the playoffs, he’s not hopeful, and with good reason, as it turns out. Kicking the Gong Driving home, I notice that the car in front of me has an Indiana University placard attached to the top of its New Jersey license plate.

a key part of the process that produced 30 books, all of which were written in his home town. It’s only to be expected, then, that Draft No. 4 opens on Nassau Street with McPhee looking down from his window “on the passing scene.” He is working in rented space above an optometrist opposite Firestone Library. Across the hall from him is the “Swedish Massage,” a legitimate business (“they didn’t give sex”) operated by an Austrian couple who were nearing retirement. This being “the era when massage became a sexual synonym,”

McPhee would see men in business suits stop, hesitate, look around, and then move toward the stairs. In time, the couple had to scrape the words “Swedish Massage” off the door. “Meanwhile,” McPhee writes, “the men kept arriving at the top of the stairs, where neither door was marked. When they knocked on mine and I opened it, their faces fell dramatically as the busty Swede they expected turned into a short and bearded man.” Playing on his size is characteristic McPhee, leaving you smiling, on his side, ready to go where he takes you. In the “Omission” chapter, he describes his boss at The New Yorker: “Shawn is even smaller than I am, which is getting down there.” Size gives him another punchline in the account of his adventures while writing a

Time cover story about Jackie Gleason. One day a man walks into the Gleason’s New York offices, identifies himself as “John McPhee,” and asks for a cash loan. Phoned about this while golfing in Florida, Gleason says “Describe him” and is told “Well, for one thing, he’s very tall.” Says Gleason, “Call the police.” In a book teeming with quotable lines, there’s this zinger: “Editors’ habit of replacing an author’s title with one of their own is like a photo of a tourist’s head on the cardboard body of Mao Zedong.” On the plus side, regarding the New Yorker profile of Bill Bradley that McPhee says “changed my existence,” William Shawn searched the text and found a perfect sixword title, “A Sense of Where You Are,” one that to this day describes the quality that explains McPhee’s mastery of his craft. On the down side, Shawn wanted to replace McPhee’s title “Oranges” with “Golden Lamps in a Green Night.” McPhee’s response to this imagist Haiku by way of Andrew Marvell: “After I went to pieces, Mr. Shawn mercifully picked them up as ‘Oranges.’ “ Being McPhee In Draft No. 4 the reader becomes a glorified auditor of McPhee’s class in Creative Nonfiction. According to his former student, Joel Achenbach, “Perhaps there are writers who make it look easy, but that is not the example set by McPhee. He is of the school of thought that says a writer is someone for whom writing is more difficult than for other people.” The main lesson McPhee can’t teach, however, is how to be McPhee: an individual everyone can feel comfortable with, relate to, companionably accommodate, hang out with, and above all take seriously. People and their professions and preoccupations genuinely interest McPhee. In that sense, he’s more a student than a teacher — a dream student, the sort who will come away from any class brimming with knowledge, as happens in the “Omissions” chapter, which describes how the original draft of “Oranges” sprawled beyond measure because “the library at the Citrus Experiment Station had beguiled me so much — not to mention the citrus scientists, the growers, the rich kings of juice concentration.” The Ultimate Anecdote lthough McPhee advises against “prancing around between subject and reader,” the touches of personal history are what make the book as entertaining as it is instructive. For example, the long anecdote that concludes Draft No. 4, which resists paraphrasing: you need to “be there.” But then that’s true of the whole book, even if the thought of being a writer has never crossed your mind. —Stuart Mitchner

Pia de Jong Discussing Her Memoir October 10

Pia de Jong will be at Labyrinth Books on October 10 at 6 p.m. to read from and discuss Saving Charlotte — A Mother and the Power of Intuition. “Saving Charlotte is simply a beautiful book, impossible to put down, clear as a jewel and flawless in its depths.” according to Richard Preston, author of The Wild Trees and The Hot Zone. “Pia de Jong writes with incredible grace and an eye for unforgettable details that glow in our minds long after we’ve finished the book. She’s famous in the Netherlands for her work, and now I see why.” Annalyn Swan, Pulitzer Prize–winning coauthor of De Kooning: An American Master says, “What could be more life-shattering than being told that your newborn baby has a deadly leukemia? That awful news was delivered to young mother Pia de Jong. But rather than subject her infant daughter to devastating chemotherapy, she decided to follow her intuition―to watch and wait. Miraculously, Charlotte survived―and in the crisis, de Jong found her life’s calling as a writer. Saving Charlotte is her luminous account, trembling with fear―but also with hope―of one extraordinary year.” Pia de Jong is a prize-winning novelist and newspaper columnists from the Netherlands. Saving Charlotte is

Anthony Appiah At Labyrinth Oct. 9

Anthony Appiah will be discussing his book As If — Idealization and Ideals at Labyrinth Books on October 9 at 6 p.m. Jason Stanley of Yale University writes, “Appiah is absolutely right that the notion of idealization is both ripe and suitable for significant philosophical exploration. The subject has been central to political theory, epistemology, and philosophy of science. As If: Idealization and Ideals is the first book to explicitly combine and link all of the discussions in a very valuable―if controversial―contribution.” Anthony Appiah was professor of philosophy at Princeton University before moving to New York University in 2014. He currently holds an appointment at the NYU Department of Philosophy and NYU’s School of Law. His many seminal books include Cosmopolitanism and The Honor Code. The program is co-sponsored by the Humanities Council of Princeton University. ———

Internet, Infinite Naming In Conversation Next Week

Labyrinth Books is hosting conversations on the Internet and Infinite Naming on October 5 and October 11. Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, Aaron Retica, and Sam Wang will be talking about Stephens-Davidowitz’s book, Everybody Lies: Big

Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us about Who We Really Are on Thursday, October 5 at 6 p.m. Says Lawrence Summers, pr e s i d e nt e m e r it u s a n d Charles W. Eliot university professor of Harvard University: “Move over Freakonomics. Move over Moneyball. This brilliant book is the best demonstration yet of how big data plus cleverness can illuminate and then move the world. Read it and you’ll see life in a new way.” Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a New York Times oped contributor and former Google data scientist. Aaron Retica is chief of research for New York Times Magazine. Sam Wang is professor of neuroscience at Princeton University. He is known for his books Welcome to Your Brain and Welcome to Your Child’s Brain, as well as for the Princeton Election Consortium website. The program is co-sponsored by the Ferris seminars in journalism at the Humanities Council of Princeton. ——— D a n i e l H e l l e r Ro a z e n and Michael Wood will be discussing Heller Roazen’s No One’s Way — An Essay on Infinite Naming on Wednesday, October 11 at 6 p.m. Ac c or d i n g to Vi r g i n i e Greene, author of Logical Fictions in Medieval Literature, “Daniel Heller-Roazen rewrites what we thought we k new about Wester n philosophy in an entirely novel way. From Aristotle to Chomsky and beyond, he follows the tracks of a

philosophical snark: the ‘indefinite’ mode, linguistically expressed by the prefixes ‘not-’ and ‘non-’ … . This elusive, obstinate nonsubject has provoked thinkers to create concepts and words at the limit of human understanding, grasping humaneness as a fundamental indefinition.” Daniel Heller-Roazen is professor of comparative literature at Princeton University whose books include Dark Tongues: The Art of Rogues and Riddlers, The Fifth Hammer: Pythagoras and the Disharmony of the World and The Enemy of All: Piracy and the Law of Nations. Michael Wood is a literary and cultural critic and professor emeritus of comparative literature at Princeton. He writes regularly for the New York Review of Books and the London Book Review. The conversation is cosponsored by the program in humanistic studies at the Humanities Council of Princeton.

FTER sinking into oblivion for four centuries, a medieval tale re-emerges in works by Anatole France, Jules Massenet, Henry Adams, Carl Jung, and others. In recent decades, this tale has been the basis for radio programs, television shows, cartoons, movies, books for children, and religious books. Our speaker, Jan Ziolkowski, is the Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Medieval Latin at Harvard University and Director of the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection. His scholarship focuses on the literature of the Latin Middle Ages.

“A CITY SQUARE”: This oil on canvas by Bill Scott is part of Rider University’s exhibit featuring a 40-year survey of the artist’s work, which runs through October 29. An artist’s talk is October 5 at 7 p.m.

“ART AT KINGS OAKS”: A pop-up exhibition featuring the works of 26 artists will be at Kings Oaks Farm in Newtown, Pa. from October 6 to 15. An opening reception is on October 6 from 6-9 p.m. Shown here are a painting by Susan Jane Walp, top left; a monotype by Stuart Shils, top right; an installation by Margaret Parish, bottom left; and a sculpture by Maxwell Mustardo.

“Art at Kings Oaks” Pop-Up Exhibition

“Art at Kings Oaks,” a pop-up art exhibition in a historic barn and chapel on Kings Oaks Farm in Newtown, Pa., returns for its fifth year this October 6-15 to present its largest group of artists to date. The exhibition includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, and installation works by 26 renowned and emerging artists from the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic U.S. and Italy. The two-weekend exhibition, attended by over 500 visitors each year, began in 2012 when Bucks County painter Alex Cohen renovated the 19th-century barn and stone chapel on Kings Oaks Farm into gallery spaces. While it has grown in scope and size, the artist-led project maintains

its vision of offering a naturally beautiful and intimate setting for viewing art, which is welcoming to both artists and art lovers alike. “The barn is incredible in its construction and endurance, but no single part of it feels polished,” says Cohen. “There’s a rawness and yet a grandeur. I think that’s how good paintings feel and how a good exhibition feels.” This year’s exhibition is co-curated by Cohen and Ithaca-based painter and printmaker Gillian PedersonKrag. Exhibiting artists include Caren Canier, Mariel Capanna, Marybeth Chew, Alex Cohen, Mastro Cencio, David Fertig, Kathleen Hall, Deborah Kahn, Ken Kewley, Ying Li, Stanley Lewis, Ruth Miller, Abraham Murley, Maxwell Mustardo, Margaret Parish, Robert Andrew

Parker, Gillian PedersonKrag, Stephanie Pierce, Langdon Quin, Neil Riley, E.M. Saniga, Sterling Shaw, Stuart Shils, James Stewart, Susan Jane Walp, and Lilly Woodworth. Admission is free, works are for sale. Opening reception, Friday, October 6, 6-9 p.m.; closing reception Sunday, October 15, 2-5 p.m. Open from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on October 7, 8, 9, 14, 15; 6-9 p.m. October 13; and by appointment.

“1958 IMPALA”: This acrylic on paper painting by Richard Harrington is part of “Momentum at Rest,” a joint exhibition featuring the works of Harrington and Laura Rutherford Renner at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. The exhibition runs from October 5 through November 5, with an opening reception on Saturday, October 7 from 4 to 8 p.m.

“Momentum at Rest” at Artists’ Gallery

Artists Laura Rutherford Renner and Richard Harrington are featured in a joint show, “Momentum at Rest,” opening Thursday, October 5 at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville. The exhibit, which runs through November 5, features watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and oil paintings by the two artists. An opening reception with the artists will be held on Saturday, October 7, from 4 to 8 p.m. Rutherford Renner, who maintains her studio in Collingswood, often uses the sights from her hometown and Southern New Jersey as the starting point for her work. She finds that the light at different times of the year can make something that may appear as mundane an interesting subject for a painting. The title of the exhibition was initially proposed by Rutherford Renner after sketching her cat, Lulu, dozing in the sun in her studio. “‘Momentum at Rest’ is a celebration of ref lective light on objects and figures in a defining moment,” says Rutherford Renner. “My inspiration for these painting is light on forms, especially reflected light within shadows. That is something that attracts me to paint a certain scene or subject. I also find the reflections of light on water to be especially intriguing, and I enjoy the challenge capturing that effect in my work. I always have a camera and a sketchbook with me, so I can do a sketch and take a photo whenever I’m inspired.” An occupational therapist in Brooklawn, Rutherford Renner has been a painter her entire life. She has won many awards in juried competitions in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. All of her work in this exhibition is executed in oil on wood panels. Harrington, of Newtown, Pa., finds his inspiration for “Momentum at Rest” in the mid-20 th century chromed and finned marvels produced by Detroit automakers. “When Laura approached

me with this title, I immediately thought of vehicles that were designed to look fast or powerful even while standing still,” says Harrington. “Some of the works in this exhibition of vehicles left sitting in fields I painted plein air, while others of lovingly preserved or restored vehicles were painted from photographs. I enjoy the beauty in their designs and character whether they are rusting and dented, or look as if they had just been sold off the showroom floor.” An associate professor of illustration at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, Har r ing ton has worked as an illustrator for more than 30 years. Artists’ Gallery is located at 18 Bridge Street in Lambertville. It is open every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and by appointment.

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton University Concerts Opens Season With Multimedia Phenomenon

P

the

Hunchback of

notre dame

rinceton University Concerts has innovatively combined different forms of media in the past, most notably a concert a few years ago featuring actress Meryl Streep and the Takács String Quartet fusing literature and music in one performance. To open the 124th season of Princeton University Concerts, The Emerson String Quartet joined forces with seven well-established actors for a “multimedia theatrical realization” of Anton Chekhov’s story The Black Monk in a fantasy also exploring the lives of Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich and Russian leader Josef Stalin. Co-commissioned by Princeton University Concerts, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, and Tanglewood Music Festival, Shostakovich and the Black Monk weaved a tale of Shostakovich’s 50-year obsession with creating an opera from Chekhov’s 1893 story depicting the last two tragic years of the life of a fictitious scholar. Shostakovich and the Black Monk took the audience through multiple decades of the composer’s life, as narrated by an elderly Shostakovich, aided by six actors portraying characters from both the composer’s past and Chekhov’s story. Most significant among these characters were Shostakovich’s wives and Josef Stalin, whose regime and politics had a major impact on the composer’s career. As Stalin, actor Jay O. Sanders well conveyed the omnipresent Stalin who continually loomed in the compositional mind of Shostakovich, dynamically and intensely played by Tony award-winning actor Len Cariou. Sanders’ portrayal was such that when his character told Shostakovich “I shall be watching — always,” there was no doubt that this would be the case. Cariou commanded the stage as Shostakovich, fending off a variety of perceived demons while producing some of the most impactful music of the 20th century. The other five actors — Evelyn McGeeColbert, Alex Glossman, Paul Murphy, Linda Setzer, and Ali Breneman — moved time forward well by recreating characters at different ages from both the story and real life. These roles were all strictly dramatic, although Breneman had several singing passages, which she presented with a clear and fluid soprano voice. The music in this production came from the Emerson String Quartet, whose violinist Philip Setzer conceived the project and brought it to the attention of writer and director James Glossman. Sitting in the middle of a square multi-level set, the Emerson

Quartet both introduced and closed the theatrical fantasy with movements from Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 14 in F-Sharp Major. Premiered in 1973, this quartet was part of the composer’s original plan to set the Chekhov story in operatic form. Quartet No. 14 provided an underpinning to the show, as the Emerson Quartet musicians played the mournful melodic lines elegantly and clearly captured inner dialogs among the instruments. Especially effective was the second movement Adagio played under a soliloquy of Shostakovich’s wife Irina. Violinists Eugene Drucker and Philip Setzer, violist Lawrence Dutton and cellist Paul Watkins flowed in and out of the work seamlessly as a musical unit, well linking Shostakovich’s musical effects to the action on the stage. The conflict between Shostakovich and Stalin was a strong secondary story to the Chekhov tale, and was consistently emphasized by the music. Sharp bowings from the violins accentuated Shostakovich’s frustration with composing in a repressive regime, and cellist Watkins often took the melodic lead in particularly dramatic or poignant scenes. In his operatic plans for Chekhov’s work, Shostakovich quotes the Angel Serenade of 19th-century Italian cellist and composer Gaetano Braga, a work also referenced by Chekhov. The Emerson Quartet played its own arrangement of this piece for soprano and string quartet within the production, providing Breneman the opportunity to add emotion and romance to scenes. Snippets from other Shostakovich string quartets could be heard through the concert, emphasizing specific dramatic moments or providing subtle references to Soviet history. hristopher and Justin Swader’s almost gothic scenic design reminded the audience of the dark period of Russian history in which both Chekhov and Shostakovich worked, and the visuals presented on a screen at the back of the stage were primarily authentic photographs from the lives of the characters. As a multimedia production, Shostakovich and the Black Monk effectively combined ensemble theater with the best of chamber music. —Nancy Plum Editor’s Note: In the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s September 16 performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, the Westminster Symphonic Choir was prepared by Dr. Ryan Brandau not by Joe Miller, as was reported.

A Question of Faith

Three Families Are Linked by Tragedy in a Moving Parable

F

serious life issues. The first is Theresa Newman (Fields), who is worried that her husband (Richard T. Jones) is so obsessed with taking over as senior pastor of the church from his father (Gregory Alan Williams) that he might break a promise to attend their younger son’s (Caleb T. Thomas) basketball game. Next, gospel singer Michelle Danielsen’s (Amber Thompson) father (C. Thomas Howell) is pressuring her to perform at a record company’s audition because he needs the money his daughter’s contract with the record company would provide to help save his business. He is apparently more concerned with avoiding an impending collapse of his business than with finding the cause of his daughter’s debilitating headaches. Finally, restaurant owner Katie Hernandez (Jaci Velasquez) keeps reminding her daughter Maria (Karen Valero) to stop texting while driving when she is making deliveries to customers. Katie doesn’t want Maria to have an accident that might prevent her from becoming the first person in their family to attend college. T h e s e p a r a l l e l s to r ylines converge in a very dramatic fashion. As their fates become intertwined the protagonists rise to the occasion in different ways. The film is a moving tale of redemption that reveals God’s grace and makes a case for crosscultural tolerance. E x c e l l e n t ( HHHH ) . R ated PG for mat ure themes. Running time: 104 minutes.

aith-based films usually have limited appeal beyond the Christian community because most tend to be heavy-handed morality plays that preach to the choir. A Question of Faith is a refreshing change of pace, because instead of proselytizing, the film features character development and a compelling plot. This carefully crafted modern parable explores a mix of worldly and spiritual themes in a way that will entertain the faithful and sinners alike. The picture was directed by Kevan Otto, who recruited an impressive cast to perform Ty Manns’s script. The cast disappears so thoroughly into their parts that it’s easy to forget you’re watching actors after just a few minutes into the movie. One of the stars is Kim Fields, who’s best known for the role of Tootie that she originated in the TV sitcom Different Strokes, and continued to play in the spinoff, The Facts of Life. The film unfolds in Atlanta where we’re introduced to three families that are dealing with

The “mommy makeover”

© 2017

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

This uplifting film captures the journey of Rick and Laura Brown of Handshouse Studio as they reconstruct the elaborate roof and painted ceiling of the Gwozdziec synagogue, an 18th century structure that rivals the greatest wooden architecture in history. Filmmakers Yari Wolinsky, and Cary Wolinsky, an award-winning National Geographic photographer, reveal the Browns’ decadelong endeavor to recreate a nearly lost piece of Polish– Jewish history. This briskly paced detective tale examines how the synagogue was built, who built it, and why. With the Browns leading more than 300 students and professionals from 16 countries, the film captures the echoes of World War II while revealing an optimistic and creative time in Jewish history that has been lost. At one time, there were some 200 wooden synagogues across the Polish-Lithuanian countryside. All were destroyed during the Nazi occupation of Poland. The screening will take place in the Arts Council of Princeton’s Solley Theater located at 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton.

Miller spends a portion of the year traveling the country, often with his band Subject to Change, lecturing, preaching, and presenting concerts focused on creating community and advocating for social justice. During the past three years he has visited 100 venues in more than 20 states. He recently returned from Sweden, where he led a choral festival of his sacred social justice songs. Also presenting at the symposium are Kathy Ridl, who will present Making Art: Making a Difference; Tom Shelton, who will focus on repertoire; and Kathy Ebling Shaw, who will focus on handbells in worship.

It seeks to support current and successive generations of church musicians at a crucial time in the history of church music. Its foundation is based on Dr. Kemp’s belief that rigorous musical training and scholarship, as well as continuing education and the development of pastoral skills, are crucial for music ministry to be effective. Registration for the symposium is $95 and includes lunch. Scholarships are available.

Stunned by Late 63-Yard TD Pass From Columbia, Tiger Football Falls 28-24 to Lions in Ivy Opener

L

ast fall, the Princeton University football team dropped an overtime heartbreaker to Harvard in late October but bounced back to run the table with four straight wins and earn a share of the Ivy League title. The 2017 Tigers will need to display that same brand of resilience in order to be an Ivy title contender this fall, suffering a stunning 2824 loss to visiting Columbia last Saturday which saw the Lions score the winning touchdown on a 63-yard scoring strike from Anders Hill to Ronald Smith II with 1:12 remaining in the fourth quarter. Princeton head coach Bob Surace knows it won’t be

easy to repeat that history after the Tigers fell in their Ivy opener before a crowd of 5,073 on hand at Princeton Stadium. “The league from top to bottom is very strong, we are not the most talented team and anybody who thinks that we are is crazy,” said a redfaced and hoarse Surace, reflecting on a loss which snapped Princeton’s sixgame winning streak stretching back to last season as it moved to 2-1 overall and 0-1 Ivy. “We have to be a team that is disciplined. I have to do a better job coaching because we are not the same team as last year. We are missing six All-Ivy players on defense so we have got to be more

exact.” Surace tipped his hat to a surging Columbia, which is now 3-0 overall and has shown marked improvement since legendary former Penn coach Al Bagnoli took the helm of the Lions in 2015. “They made plays; that is a team with seniors all over,” said Surace. “They are a good team, we are not better than that team. We have got a bunch of freshmen out there playing and they made some mistakes.” On Columbia’s biggest play of the day, the gamewinning 63-yard TD pass, the Tigers were hurt by their inexperience. “We tried to get pressure on him [Hill] and we missed a tackle,” said Surace reflecting on the scoring play by Smith, who made 10 receptions for a Columbia — and Princeton Stadium — record 236 yards. “In hindsight, they made a great play. They have some athletes at receiver and we were down a bunch of guys who weren’t playing because they got hurt.” Senior quarterback Chad Kanoff made some plays to rally the Tigers in the final minute of the contest, connecting on three passes to get Princeton to the Columbia 37 yard line before getting intercepted by Ben McKeighan. “He was trying to throw it away,” said Surace. “I asked him and he said he didn’t get it far enough.” On the day, Kanoff did enough to put Princeton in position to win, completing

21-for-40 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns as Princeton overcame a 21-14 third quarter deficit to forge ahead 24-21 with 2:48 left in regulation. “He did some really good things, there are going to be some plays that he would like to have back,” said Surace of Kanoff. Junior receivers Stephen Carlson and Jesper Horsted did a lot of good things for the Tigers in the defeat as Carlson made eight catches for 146 yards and a touchdown while Horsted had eight receptions for 96 yards and two TDs. “Stephen and Jesper really did a great job, both of those guys made some tremendous catches,” said Surace. “Those are good defensive backs on Columbia; I think every DB they have is a taller guy, 6’0 or 6’1. Stephen is doing it in practice, he does it every day. There is a lot of chemistry with him and Chad.” The Princeton defense, for its part, got worn down as Columbia made 11-of-21 third down conversions. “We didn’t get off the field on third down and we are not a defense that is going to be able to play 100 plays,” lamented Surace, noting that star linebackers Thomas Johnson and Mark Fossati both had to leave the game due to injury. “We are a little bit banged up and we don’t have the depth that we are going to have next week as long as

“I have got to do a better job making them understand that these games are going to come down to that. We are a very, very young team on defense and their defense is really good. In games like that, we have to execute better on third down and I have got to do a better job putting our guys in better positions.” —Bill Alden

Right now we have a tendency to leave some goals in the water and that makes things a little harder than they have to be.” Princeton is going through a hard stretch as it hits the dog days of October. “Unfortunately we had some injuries Sunday morning against MIT, there were a couple of guys out in the game against Brown,” said Nicolao. “We were gassed. The guys fought hard and hung in there. At this point, we are three weeks into school and the flu bug is catching up with guys. It is just, get after it and get through these games; it is a grind right now. Midterms start in two weeks.” Reflecting on the team’s play so far this season, Nicolao believes the Tigers have the offensive firepower to grind out wins. “We have a much greater balance this year, multiple guys are scoring,” said Nicolao. “Jordan Colina (38 goals and 17 assists) and Matt Payne (28 goals and 20 assists) are just two very special offensive players that create a lot of opportunities. They are not the biggest guys in the water but they are so active. They are so quick.” In Nicolao’s view, Princeton has the opportunity to do some special things when it gets to the NWPC tournament next month. “We are healthier and deeper than we were last year,” said Nicolao, whose team is next in action when it hosts Wagner on October 5. “If we can keep healthy going into November, I think we are going to be in a great position.” —Bill Alden

With Kinney Emerging as Scoring Threat, PHS Field Hockey Gaining Momentum Isabel Kinney and her teammates on the Princeton High field hockey team were determined to produce a strong start when they hosted W W/P-North last Wednesday. “Before every game, we say we want to come out w it h intensit y r ight of f the bat there, and I think that really helps us set the tone,” said junior forward Kinney. Kinney set the tone for PHS against the Northern Knights, scoring a goal in the opening moments of the contest. “We moved it right down the field, we were talking, and we passed,” said Kinney, reflecting on the tally. “It was just field hockey.” Keeping things moving in the right direction for the Little Tigers, Kinney scored again with 23:53 left in the half, doubling the PHS lead to 2-0. Adding two more unanswered goals, the Little Tigers led 4-0 at halftime and never looked back on the way to a 7-0 victory. “We are all friends on the team and we treat it like a family so we can all communicate really well,” said Kinney, who tallied another goal in the second half to notch the first hat trick of her PHS career. “We know where each other is, we know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.” With PHS topping Hamilton 4-0 last Monday to post its fourth win in its last five games and improve to 5-4-

1, Kinney believes the team is gaining strength. “It has been a really good season so far,” said Kinney. “We lost a lot of seniors so there are a lot of new faces and it has been a lot of fun.” Kinney is a new face in the starting lineup, having getting called up from the JV team midway through the 2016 season. “Coming from JV, I got to see how varsity works,” said Kinney. “It is a much faster game. Coming from getting moved up and then playing this year and being one of the top scorers with my friends is really cool.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson liked seeing her squad get off to a fast start in the w in over W W/ PNorth. “That has been one of our issues, we haven’t been playing with intensity; we need to be starting with intensity and maintaining it throughout,” said Serverson. “We had a lengthy conversation about that today and they went out and they executed. It was awesome.” Kinney’s execution at the offensive end has been a bright spot for PHS. “Isabel has definitely been stepping up, filling the shoes of some of those seniors we lost on the front line,” said Serverson. “She is a scrappy player. She is in the right spot and she wants to get goals. She is demonstrating that very clearly on the field.”

The Little Tigers demonstrated some good scoring balance against the Northern Knights as Mariana Lopez-Ona, Lisette Dubow, and Renee Hoevers also tallied goals in the win. “It is always nice to have multiple people put the ball into the net,” said Serverson. “I was also happy that everyone got to contribute in some way on the field.” Serverson has been happy with the play of her defensive unit, which is led by senior goalie Kate Rogers along with senior defender Lily Leonard and sophomore defender Lila Doran. “Kate, Lila, and Lily have saved us on defense; they are solid,” said Serverson. “Lily and Kate have been back there for years together and they have pulled Lila into that fold. They make a really nice solid group. I really like the way they play back there; it makes me feel good.” With PHS having bounced back from a shaky 1-3-1 start, Serverson feels good about the squad’s prospects coming down the stretch. “We are more focused all around, in practice and games; I think they are finally just learning how each other play and finally just getting it,” said Serverson, whose team hosts Allentown on October 4, Steinert on October 6, and Lawrence on October 9. “It is really starting to click well. We have figured out who works best in what position. They are just learning how the other one plays so we are playing more like a team as opposed to individuals with good skills.” In Kinney’s view, PHS has developed a hunger to score which will make it a tough team to beat. “We always go hard in practice; we play like we practice,” said Kinney. “We have been talking a lot about intensity and going right out on the field and wanting that goal.” —Bill Alden

Lifted by Newly Formed 1st Doubles Pair, PHS Girls’ Tennis Finishes 5th at MCT Caroline Tan and Denise Yang didn’t have much time to prepare for the Mercer County Tournament. Due to the reshuffling in the lineup of the Princeton High girls’ tennis team, junior Tan and senior Yang were paired together at first doubles just days before the MCT started on September 25. Developing an instant chemistry, they ended up providing a highlight of the tourney for PHS, winning three matches to advance to the finals of their flight. Although Tan and Yang ended up falling short in the final, dropping a tough three-setter to Arya Jha and Tarika Kumar of Princeton D ay S ch o ol, PH S h e ad coach Sarah Hibbert was proud of what the pair accomplished. “To come out here and make it to the final, they were really competing,” said Hibbert, noting that Tan and Yang had to survive a threeset challenge match with the PHS second doubles team of Sora Sato and Adriana Todorova to earn their spot in the lineup. “It was really hot today and they had a long first match. On a different day, it could have gone a different way. They lost some momentum at the end and the other team started playing much better. Unfortunately, they couldn’t close it out today. Finishing second for a team that had played one match together before the tournament is fantastic.” The second doubles pair

of sophomore Sato and junior Todorova also excelled, taking third in their flight as PHS finished fifth of 18 schools in the team standings at the competition held at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “They had a real tough long semifinal match as well,” said Hibbert in assessing the play of Sato and Todorova. “A couple of things didn’t quite go their way when they needed them to in the semi, but they were able to turn that around and come back for a good third place showing.” While the Little Tigers didn’t have as good a showing at the MCT in singles play as they had hoped, Hibbert noted that there was more parity at the event this year than in the past. “It is a very competitive county this year; there is a whole crew of teams that were very close together,” said Hibbert.

“A lot of people had competitors in there, so I think this is one of the most competitive overall tournaments we have had in a long time.” In Hibbert’s view, the experience that PHS gained from competing hard at the MCT will help it going forward. “Any time you have matches that are competitive, win or lose, they teach you something for the future,” said Hibbert, whose team defeated Hamilton 5-0 last Monday to improve to 7-0 in dual match action and will start play in the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional this week where they are seeded third and are slated to host a quarterfinal match on October 10. “We prefer to win but you learn as much from your losses as you do from your wins. Going forward, we have a couple of tough ones coming up and hopefully we can use what we learned today to just help us get better. You do the best you can and you see what happens.” —Bill Alden

School girls’ tennis first doubles team of Arya Jha and Tarika Kumar appeared to run out gas in the final. The pair lost the first set

RALLY TIME: Princeton Day School girls’ tennis players Arya Jha, left, and Tarika Kumar celebrate after winning the first doubles title at the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday. Seniors Jha and Kumar rallied from one-set deficits in both the semifinals and the final to earn the crown. Their heroics helped PDS finish second of 18 schools in the team standings at the event.

6-1 to the Princeton High team of Caroline Tan and Denise Yang, looking sluggish and misfiring on their shots. “It was a rough first set, we figured that the only way to win was to stop being tentative and not being afraid to miss and being afraid to lose,” said Kumar. “Going into the second set, we wanted to make sure that our feet were moving because we felt like our energy was low. We wanted to make sure that we were more consistent and we were willing to be aggressive and take chances and take control of the match.” Having rallied in the semis for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win over Saru Daway and Erika Zhang of WW/P-South, Jha had a good feeling going into the third set. “My mindset, and Tarika’s mindset as well, was that since we were on a wave of winning in the second set, we can ride that and win the third one,” said Jha. The senior duo ended up prevailing 1-6, 6 -4, 6 -2, helping PDS place second of 18 schools in the team standings behind two-time champion Hightstow n in the competition held at the Mercer County Park. “It means so much, the MCT has always been this huge challenge for me and our team,” said Ku mar, reflecting on the title. “It means so much and I am so grateful to be able to win.” Jha is grateful to have

been paired with her classmate in their final campaign with the program. “I think we both have our strengths; she is amazing at net and I am pretty strong at the baseline,” said Jha. “We balance each other out.” PDS head coach Ed Tseng was thrilled to see Jha and Kumar go out with a county title. “They are both great girls, great athletes, and competitors,” said Tseng, whose second doubles team of junior Guilia Gerschel and senior Emma Dries also won their flight at the MCT. “The best thing is that they are leaders on the team. They always help to volunteer for me and the other players. They organize things, like getting hoodies for the team. That is the stuff that people remember. Very few of my players are going to go pro but they are going to remember the life lessons, the camaraderie, the community, and the culture.” For Tseng, developing that spirit of community ultimately outweighs the final results. “It is a family feel; that is more important than coming in first,” said Tseng. “We are a big family, we support each other and we are having fun. I think that is a successful season. I am just proud of the team and how we support each other, win or lose.”

PDS is hoping to experience success in the upcoming state Prep B tourney. “The important thing is getting the competitiveness and the match toughness,” added Tseng. “Even though we are not going to face these teams in preps, just by playing a lot of matches and being put in that pressure situation will

help for Prep Bs.” No matter what happens down the stretch, Jha will always remember her final MCT matches. “As a senior, you go in and it is your last year,” said Jha. “It is amazing to do this; I am going to really miss it next year as well.” —Bill Alden

Jha/Kumar Duo Rallies to Win MCT 1st Doubles As PDS Girls’ Tennis Takes 2nd in Team Standings


TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, OCTObER 4, 2017 • 36

Buoyed By Radvany’s Control of the Midfield, PDS Field Hockey Primed for Postseason Run Hosting Lawrenceville last Thursday in a rematch of the 2016 Mercer County tournament final, the Princeton Day School field hockey dug an early 2-0 hole. But PDS, which fell 3-0 to Lawrenceville in that MCT showdown last fall, didn’t fold. “We had a lot of energy,” said PDS star junior midfielder Val Radvany. “We came out really strong and even when they scored two goals, we still kept going.” The Panthers got a goal on a penalty stroke by Sasha Sindhwani to make it a 2-1 game at halftime. “It was really close; we had the momentum,” said Radvany. B u t L aw re n ce v i l le re gained the momentum in a hurry, tallying three goals in the first five minutes of the second half. “I think in the first five minutes of the second half we got caught off guard,” s a i d R ad v a ny. “G e t t i ng down four goals, it is so hard to claw back from that.” While that stretch of the game proved decisive as Lawrenceville prevailed 5-1, the Panthers kept clawing. “I am really proud of our team and how we fought; we still kept going,” said Radvany “That is much better than just rolling over, saying we are down 5-1 and just let them score five more goals.” While Radvany was disappointed by the outcome, she believes the defeat to the Big Red could be a blessing in disguise. “This was good practice for us, they are one of the top teams, if not the top team, in the county,” said Radvany, who helped PDS

defeat Pennington 4-0 last Monday as the Panthers improved to 6-3. “This is a really good game to see where we are and how we can improve.” In Radvany’s view, PDS needs to improve on its finishing. “We got so many shots and so many rebounds, we could not put the ball in the net,” said Radvany. “We need to go and get the second, third shots, and the rebound and really score.” Working hard over the years, honing her skills with the Princeton Field Hockey Club program, Radvany has put herself in position to play at the next level. “I have grown a lot as a player, I think I have improved a lot; I am able to really control the midfield,” said Radvany, who recently committed to attend Michigan State and play for its field hockey program. “I am happy where I am to be a leader in the midfield and really help everyone play as a team.” PDS head coach Heather Farlow liked the way her team per for med against Lawrenceville, notwithstanding the margin of defeat. “We just told them that we were very happy with where we are at this point in September,” said Farlow. “There are some things that we have to shore up; there are some things that we need to capitalize on that we are good at. I don’t think the score reflects how hard we worked; we came in with nothing to lose. We have lost to them before and we said so what, just play hard, play to win, have fun, and just play as a team. I think we did that. The first five minutes of the second half made a difference.”

Farlow was impressed by how PDS kept playing hard to the final whistle. “To control the ball the last 10 minutes of the game and have it in our attacking end speaks volumes; we kept fighting,” said Farlow, whose team generated several penalty corners in the waning moments of the contest. “You can’t ask for better play than that out of the girls. After playing Lawrenceville, I think we can be competitive in the MCTs again.” In Radvany’s view, the Panthers can be a force in postseason play. “I think what we need to work on is to play a full 60 minutes; we can’t have lapses,” said Radvany. “We have so much potential to win. Hopefully we will see them again in the Mercer County final and hopefully we can eventually beat them.” —Bill Alden

Blending Emotion with Complementary Styles, PDS’ Dries/Gerschel Wins MCT 2nd Doubles Consistent s er ves and solid groundstrokes helped the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis second doubles team of Guilia Gerschel and Emma Dries reach the finals of the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday. But it was expressing their emotions on the court that ultimately sparked them to a title in their flight. “We lost our momentum in the second set of the semis and we realized, although it may be loud and obnoxious, screaming and getting ourselves pumped would help us,” said junior Gerschel, reflecting on the team’s 6-4, 2-6, 6-3 win over Sora Sato and Adriana Todorova of Princeton High in the semis. Mixing in chest bumps with yelps after winning critical points, the PDS pair pulled out a 7-5, 7-5 win over Hightstow n’s Sreya Kilambi and Morgan Koppel in the final, helping the Panthers to take second in the team standings at the event which was held at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. In Gerschel’s view, the team has gotten in synch after having played together since last fall. “Last year, we lost in the quar terfinals here,” said Gerschel. “Our dynamic this year is a lot better, we can read each other.” Dries, for her part, sensed that the two had reached a deeper understanding on the court this fall. “We have been playing for the past two years and I think we have clicked,” said senior Dries, who also stars for the PDS girls’ lacrosse team. “We have learned to work with each other, she is amazing. It motivated us to keep going with the play and keep pushing through.” In assessing their playing styles, Dries credited Gerschel with providing firepower at the net. “Guilia is my rock in terms of volleys,” said Dries. “I keep it in play and help

set her up. She wins the points.” G e r s c h e l c i te d D r i e s’ steady play as a key ingredient in the team’s success. “I think Emma really kept me going; she doesn’t really get frustrated much,” said Gerschel. “Emma is really consistent. I sometimes take risks. We even ourselves out.” PDS head coach Ed Tseng believes that the team of Dr ies and G erschel has grown into something special. “It is always nice to play with the same person as much as you can; you get

to k now what t hey are going to do in certain situations,” said Tseng. “What they have in common is that they like to win and they get excited.” The excitable twosome is now focused on winning the state Prep B title in their event. “We just beat people we didn’t think we could really beat,” said Gerschel. “I am excited ; we have a good chance in Prep Bs. We just have to stay on top of our game.” Dries shares Gerschel’s sense of confidence. “For Prep Bs, we are going to stay focused, motivated, and keep it up,” added Dries. —Bill Alden

Josh Henderson knew that he would have to shoulder a heavier load than usual when the Hun School football team hosted Friendship Collegiate Academy (D.C.) last Friday afternoon. With starting quarterback Patrick Holly sidelined with an ankle injury, junior star running back Henderson figured to get more carries. In addition, with the Hun defense missing a defensive back and a lineman, Henderson moved to linebacker from his usual safety spot. The 6’0, 200-pound Henderson proved up to the task, rushing for 224 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries and making a key fourth quarter interception in the end zone as Hun prevailed 20-8, improving to 4-0 and extending its winning streak to 26 stretching back to 2016. “I think this game really made us a true family,” said Henderson. “We were a family all throughout the season but this one is special. This was a good game.” The good play of junior Jackson Barletta filling in for Holly at quarterback exemplified the team’s family

feeling. “It is a big change for us, it is just adversity,” said Henderson. “I think it is good for our team to have experienced that, it allows us to trust each other more. Jackson did a great job stepping in at quarterback for us. He played a great game and the offensive line stepped up. It is just proves that it is everybody.” After Hun built up a 14-0 lead at half time, t hings turned dicey for the Raiders as Friendship scored a touchdown and made a twopoint conversion to narrow the gap to 14-8 later in the third quarter. “You never lose faith. The key thing is that we did our best,” said Henderson. “We were playing smash mouth from the first quarter to the last quarter. It is just proved to us that this is anybody’s game. We just have to step up quick and fast.” Midway through the fourth quarter, Henderson stepped up with several big runs, including an eight-yard TD run to culminate a 68-yard drive as Hun extended its lead to 20-8.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that as part of Princeton’s 2017-2018 deer management program, and under the oversight of the Princeton Police Department, Princeton will allow a sixmember group of volunteer recreational bow hunters to hunt deer by bow on the below-listed publicly-owned properties located in Princeton. Beginning on or after October 7, 2017 and ending no later than February 17, 2018, the following areas may be hunted, but solely by Princeton-approved bow hunters: (1) Fieldwood:

Approximately 25 acres located between Griggs Farm and Cherry Hill Road. Only one Princeton-approved bow hunter will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(2) Woodfield Reservation:

Approximately 113.81 acres located between Drakes Corner Road and Old Great Road. Only five Princeton-approved bow hunters will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(3) Autumn Hill Reserve:

Approximately 72.39 acres located off of Herrontown Road. Only five Princeton-approved bow hunters will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(4) Gulick Farm:

Approximately 27.5 acres located between Herrontown Road and Dodds Lane. Only one Princeton-approved bow hunter will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(5) Stony Brook/Quaker Rd.:

Approximately 20.6 acres located off of Quaker Road, between Route 206 and Mercer Street. Only one Princeton-approved bow hunter will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(6) Stony Brook/Puritan Ct.:

Approximately 26.21 acres located between Puritan Court and Pretty Brook Road. Only three Princeton-approved bow hunters will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time.

(7) Herrontown Woods:

County-owned park located off of Herrontown Road. Only five Princeton-approved bow hunters will be permitted to hunt on this property at any one time. Hunting will be permitted only if approved by Mercer County.

Hunting is generally permitted every day starting one half hour before sunrise and ending one half hour after sunset, except for Saturdays, when no hunting is allowed between 9 am and 3 pm; Sundays, when no hunting is allowed unless otherwise authorized by the State; and Christmas Day. In addition, no hunting is allowed other than from an elevated stand, or within 20 yards of any road or trail, and no hunting is allowed with a firearm. Warning signs will be posted at the entrances to each of the properties that will be hunted. All State and local regulations pertaining to parks and to hunting will remain in full force and effect and will be enforced by the Police Department of the Municipality of Princeton. Any violation of these regulations will be grounds for terminating all hunting activities. Residents with questions or concerns should contact either the Princeton Clerk’s office at (609) 924-5704, or Chief of Police at (609) 921-2100.

“It is just a cutback lane, the O-line set it up,” said Henderson, reflecting on his touchdown run which saw him bull through the Friendship defense, bouncing off tacklers at the fiveyard line on the way to the end zone. “My O-line is great, I just follow them everywhere. I think we were kind of breaking them. We were showing them that we could run the same play and still get four or five yards a play.” Minutes later, Henderson made a huge play on defense, grabbing an interception in the end zone to snuff out a Friendship drive. “Grant Hansen was the corner on that side; he did a great job,” said Henderson. “I saw one-on-one coverage, it was just straight up man. Grant swatted it and made a great play. The ball just happened to land on me. I never played linebacker like that, it was a real thing that we had to step up.” Hun head coach Todd Smith was proud of how his players stepped up on Friday. “We talked about how you have to respond to adversity that is in life, not just football,” said Smith. “The kids came out and they rallied together. Today was a true team win. They played so well together, especially on the defensive side of the ball.” Smith was impressed with how Barletta performed as he ran the offense. “Jackson was fantastic. You are always nervous with the first start and he came out and managed the game for us,” said Smith of Barletta, who completed 6-of-7 passes for 51 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 51 yards. “He was calm, he was collected. He can make plays with his feet. He made a great pass to Joshua [Szott] in the end zone on fourth down. He is a great kid.” Seeing Henderson churn t h r ou g h t h e Fr i e n d s h ip defense on Hun’s fourthquarter scoring march was a great feeling for Smith. “I thought the line took over, they looked a little tired,” said Smith. “Josh is an elite back, he just can take over games.” With Hun starting Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) play with a game at the Blair Academy on October 7, Smith believes his squad can take things to a higher level as it looks to keep rolling. “The biggest thing we are happy about is that no one got hurt today; this is our first game where we are injury free; that is a huge piece of it for us,” said Smith. “The streak is the streak, we are going week to week. We are trying to make sure we have 11 guys on the field. I think this is going to be a real positive for us in the locker room.” Henderson, for his part, believes that staying in the present is the key to remaining undefeated. “We just take it a game at a time,” said Henderson. “We just keep winning and if you keep winning, the streak is going to come. We just want to keep that streak along for as long as we can.” —Bill Alden

Boosted by Better Energy, Singles Play, Hun Girls’ Tennis Ties for 3rd at MCT Hoping that familiarity could breed success, Stuart Woody decided to have his Hun School girls’ tennis team spend more time together coming into this fall. “We boarded this year for the first time during preseason,” said second-year head coach Woody. “We felt like that was a really good experience for the girls. I thought it was much better bonding.” Last week, Hun enjoyed a positive experience at the Mercer County Tournament, tying WW/P-South for third, a marked improvement on its eight place finish at the event in 2016. “What is really impressive is that there were no expectations coming in because we really didn’t know who was going to be back, who was going to be coming up,” said Woody, reflecting on the tournament that was won by Hightstown for a second straight year. “When you lose your top two, you just don’t know. You want to make sure that you establish the culture during the offseason so they come in and they are ready to play.” At first singles, freshman Sophia Lin came ready to play at the MCT, advancing to the semifinals and taking fourth. “Our No. 1 came in and really stepped it up; she is emotional,” said Woody of Lin. “That is a strength that can be a liability if you don’t

find that balance. She has represented us well; she has improved when she has had that opportunity.” Lin’s run at the county tournament bodes well for the future. “She is going to be a player that no one is going to want to see on the other side by the time she is a senior,” added Woody. “With each year, I am hoping she will improve. What I am seeing with each session is that she is improving. It is up and down. It is like the stock market, you hope in the long run you keep your money in it and it will go up. I am happy with what I am seeing.” Junior Ishana Desai paid dividends for Hun at third singles, coming in fourth as well. “Ishana has the type of game that, if she feels like the other girl is impatient, she can resort to a war of attrition,” said Woody. “This is incredible, she won that first round by knocking off a seed.” In reflecting on the program’s progress, Woody believes his players have developed a higher level of commitment to the game. “I would say if someone looked at the talent on the team, last year versus this, we probably don’t have the same level of talent,” said Woody. “What we have is a lot better energy. I can’t control how good the girls are when they get here but what we can control is their attitude when they get off the bus,

their intention when we get to practice, and the kind of intensity we are bringing to the point.” Going forward, Woody is confident that his players will keep striving to reach their potential. “It is a spirit of excellence,” said Woody, whose team topped Peddie 4 -3 last Thursday to improve to 4-2 in dual match action and starts play in the state Prep A tournament on October 4. “If we are not competing for a county championship because Hightstown is going to win or if we are not competing for a MAPL (Mid-Atlantic Prep League) championship because Lawrenceville is going to win, you are still competing every day to be your best. How you define success is strictly related to you because you know if you played up to your ability.” —Bill Alden

Interior/exterior repairs, carpentry,

The Equifax credit breach left more than 140 million consumers wondering if they’re the next target for identity thieves, but fortunately, you can exercise some damage control by freezing your credit report. The only problem is, if you’re applying for a mortgage, you need to time the freeze so it won’t cause problems. Lenders use your credit information to decide if they’ll offer you a mortgage and what rate you’ll receive. If your reports are frozen, the lender won’t be able to see your information. On the other hand, if you delay in freezing your reports and you are targeted by identity thieves who wind up opening new accounts in your name, your credit can take a major hit that may take months to clear up. What to do? If you’re planning on applying for a mortgage, talk to your lender about your concerns ahead of time. They should be able to provide you with a rough timeline of when you can safely freeze your reports without interfering with their due diligence. Once the process is complete, you can contact the three bureaus and freeze your reports. To find out more about freezing your reports in NJ, call me.
