Post Office Easements Are Among the Topics At Council Meeting Princeton Council voted Monday evening to introduce an ordinance approving the conveying of easements for land adjacent to the post office on Palmer Square. The action was among the topics taken up during the meeting of the governing body in Witherspoon Hall. The approval, which will be given a public hearing and final vote at the Council’s next meeting October 12, allows the United States Post Office to go through with sale of the property. LCOR Ventures of California is the company contracted to buy the building, to be possibly turned into a retail establishment or restaurant. Originally, the post office offered to pay $10,000 for the easements, but the figure was upped to $85,000 following discussions with representatives of Council. Councilwoman Heather Howard credited her colleague Jenny Crumiller with doing the work to create the favorable outcome. Ms. Crumiller was particularly critical in recent meetings about “giving away” the easements for $10,000 and the move of the post office, which will relocate to 259 Nassau Street in November as part of a system-wide downsizing. “We’ve made lemons out of lemonade,” Ms. Howard said. “Now we’re putting the property on our tax rolls.” An attorney for Pepper Hamilton, who represents Palmer Square Management, questioned whether the town had followed proper procedure with the transaction, saying the parcel is part of the Green Acres program. But officials said they were not aware that it is listed on the recreation and open space inventory. Since they were voting to continue an existing easement rather than create a new one, they did not need to look into county or state regulations.

Test Results Give Green Light to AvalonBay

Work on the apartment complex being built by AvalonBay Communities could resume as early as next week, according to information provided at a meeting of Princeton Council Monday evening. The Witherspoon Street construction site, formerly home to University Medical Center at Princeton, has been quiet since the presence of harmful chemicals was detected earlier this month. It was originally shut down in August after a worker was injured in a fall from an elevator shaft. The town’s municipal engineer Bob Kiser told the governing body that stockpiled materials at the site will be removed within two weeks and it should take trucks 26 business days to complete. Activities will be monitored daily by the town. AvalonBay has provided a full version of a site investigation report filed by EcolSciences, Inc. about the presence of PCBs and PAHs, to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The presence of PAHs was found. But though PCBs were detected to exceed State standards during preliminary testing, EcolSciences did not find the same results at secondary testing. The town’s Health Officer Jeffrey Grosser explained that this is not unusual. Both sets of results on the PCBs were extremely close in numerical value to the State standard of 0.2 milligrams per kilo-

gram, and any minor discrepancy would put the result above or below the level. In addition, “Each location essentially tells us a different story,” he said on Tuesday. “Rarely are two samples exactly the same, even if taken from the same location due to the precise degree these samples are taken. Most of these samples were taken down to the part per million or even part per billion range, which allows for some variation. What’s important to remember here is that there were exceedances of the State standards for soil remediation and as a result, remedial action is required.” The plan provided to the town by AvalonBay involves capping the [PAH]

contaminants and obtaining a remedial action permit from the DEP, which requires continual monitoring and semiannual inspection of the capping. Once construction resumes, AvalonBay will conduct appropriate air monitoring and dust control measures. Last week, Princeton administrator Marc Dashield said in a press release that municipal staff and the Whitman environmental consulting firm have reviewed the investigation report and remedial action plan and found them acceptable. Mr. Kiser said the entire report will be posted on the town’s website. “AvalonBay is fully following the DEP requirements,” Continued on Page 12

Police Continue to Investigate Bomb Threats at Riverside, PHS The Princeton Police Department continues to investigate bomb threats that occurred at Riverside School last Thursday and Princeton High School last Friday. Riverside was placed on “shelterin-place” watch and PHS was evacuated for approximately two and one-half hours, on successive days last week, as K-9 explosive-sniffing dogs and their handlers searched the schools. Similar to several unfounded threats

received by area schools last year, both threats, communicated by recorded messages phoned in to the main offices of the respective schools, were fraudulent. No bombs were found, and students went back to classes later in the day. The Princeton Police Department, according to Sergeant Jonathan Bocchere, is working with many different agencies, including the FBI, the Department Continued on Page 12

Welcoming America

Council voted to introduce resolutions enabling Princeton to join the national Welcoming America network, which fosters opportunity for immigrants, and to support the expansion of access to driver’s licenses to undocumented New Jersey residents. Joining Welcoming America will allow Princeton to access the best practices of other communities throughout the country, officials said. New Jersey’s Senate and Assembly have yet to vote on legislation that has Continued on Page 6

elping students to be confident and achieve success is the goal of Dr. Dana Liebmann, founder and director of Mission Accomplished! A certified school psychologist, Dr. Liebmann opened this new service in September. She looks forward to assisting students from kindergarten through 12th grade to not only do well in school but to enjoy studying and appreciate the value of life-long learning. “I help students learn how to learn,” explains Dr. Liebmann, and she stresses the importance of gaining confidence in their ability to master material and do their best. “One student said to me, ‘You can’t do better than your best’. When kids are worried and anxious, however, they can’t do their best. I want to help them to be able to do their best.” Doctoral Degree A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, Dr. Liebmann earned an MEd at Temple University, completed a year as a guest student at Mount Holyoke College, and received a doctoral degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania (at which time she served as commencement speaker). She has been an educator in Princeton for more than 30 years, including as a school psychologist at Princeton High School, The Hun School, and the Princeton International School for Mathematics and Science, and in private practice. Dr. Liebmann is also a frequent writer and lecturer on the complexities of adolescence, teaching children to make good choices, and helping parents to be effective and encouraging. “For many years, families have asked me to provide the personal and professional assistance that will enable their children to succeed in school,” says Dr. Liebmann. “Mission Accomplished! fulfills this growing need. No one else is

really doing this. Very often, education consultants focus on preparing students to take the SATs and getting them into college. My aim is to enable them to develop skills that will help them learn how to learn. “Smart children are not necessarily smart students,” she adds. “Being a student is hard work, and being a good student is even harder.” Through individualized instruction, Dr. Liebmann helps students address areas in which they need to improve and offers them specific methods and strategies to achieve success. For example, organizing information, creating time lines and time management, and setting priorities are areas Dr. Liebmann can help students improve upon. She also helps them to understand how and when to study, and to create anxietyreducing and relaxing techniques. Many Elements Many elements are involved in helping students, she points out. “For example, in reading comprehension, it’s how you read and how you concentrate. There can be a lot of distractions. Kids study with the TV on, never have their phones off, there is noise from sibling interaction, dogs barking, etc. How in the world can you really focus with all that going on? I suggest they find a quiet space, and every night, turn off the TV for two hours. “Time management and good organization are key. I’ll say ‘let’s map out what you have to do. Set priorities. What do you need to do tonight? Read one chapter? What is due in two weeks? How does choir practice, sports, other activities, etc. fit in? They must set priorities. And when they have a project, I suggest they break it up into parts; determine what research is necessary, and what needs to be done first. • College Preparatory • College Preparatory “Also, and this is very important, don’t • Small Classes keep • things hanging over your head.

We can help your child discover the joy of learning

“Learn How to Learn” and Achieve Success in School really easier and less stressful to do it and not keep thinking about it. It’s great to cross something off the list!” Establishing a good relationship with the students is a priority, notes Dr. Liebmann. Gaining their trust is an important way to help them acquire confidence. “It’s important never to lie to kids. You need to have their trust, and you must give them encouragement. Parents should be part of this too. At any age, kids want to please their parents and make them proud. Parents should encourage their children to say ‘I’m really good at something’ and do their best whatever it is. “I work hand-in-hand with the parents. Everyone wants the child to be happy and successful. I really most look forward to solving the problem and figuring it out with the child, and then helping them find life skills that can carry through in their lifetime.” One of the major problems kids struggle with is test-taking, adds Dr. Liebmann. “This is something a lot of kids are very nervous about. I try to help them break it up into small pieces. Often, they’ve studied and they think they know the material, but in fact, we find they didn’t really know it. It can be a matter of changing the studying techniques. Operative Word “If they are really nervous, breathing exercises help, and also, reminding themselves that they have studied hard, are really prepared and know the material can give them confidence. Regarding testing, the operative word is confidence.” Helping students feel comfor table enough to ask questions in class is another area Dr. Liebmann works on. “Kids don’t want to be put down, and are often afraid to ask questions in class. I’ll ask them what’s the worst that can happen. They’ll say the worst thing is that they could be embarrassed. I try

to remind them that if they do ask a question, others in the class are probably glad because they may have been too shy to ask it themselves.” Dr. Liebmann meets with students at her office for a one-hour session. They are often referred to her by school officials, doctors, and parents. The time needed to see results varies, but a few months is typical. “The world is very complicated today,” she points out. “In many ways, it is more difficult, more challenging, and more mysterious. The world is not the same as in the past. Technology is a huge part of kids’ lives today, and it is great in many ways. But we need a balance, and I try to work with them about that. “W hen we work to determine the source of the student’s problem, it is best to work together and have the child be a part of the solution. I treat children as I want to be treated. I enjoy working with kids and feel very comfortable with them. I’ve had nice relationships with kids of all ages. They know they can be honest with me, and I am honest with them. I have seen a lot and heard a lot, and it is reassuring to families that I have heard a story like theirs. “I want the child to understand that coming here is something to look forward to and is something that will make their life better. I want them to feel good about themselves and when they go to bed at night to know they have done their best.” In time, Dr. Liebmann hopes to expand her practice to include adults, who often can experience similar difficulties with organization, time management, and setting priorities.

been introduced to support that initiative. Ten New Jersey cities and counties have passed similar resolutions in support of these bills, along with 14 mayors and 29 community organizations and labor unions that have formally supported it, according to John Heilner, who chairs the Princeton Human Services Commission’s Immigration Committee. “Twelve states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico already grant this privilege — indeed a necessity for work and family life,” he said. “Many top law enforcement officers around the country support these licenses.” Several members of Princeton’s Latino community were on hand to show their support for the measure, and one spoke in favor, using Human Services director Elisa Neira as interpreter. Councilwoman Jo Butler was among those on the governing body to express support. “It’s only an honorable and just thing to do and I endorse it wholeheartedly,” she said. Senior Resource Center Last renovated in 2002, Princeton Senior Resource Center is bursting at the seams and hoping to expand

and rehabilitate its headquarters behind Monument Hall. Susan Hoskins, executive director, told Council that Princeton has an exceptionally high number of older adults, and the senior population is expected to grow between 29 and 30 percent in the next several years. While 213 people participated in programs at PSRC in 2002, 1,350 signed up in 2014. There were 43 social groups at the center in 2002, compared w ith 175 this year. “We have outgrown the building,” Ms. Hoskins said. “We already use additional spaces for overflow classes and groups.” PSRC will embark on a capital campaign that will hopefully raise $1.5 million to augment $250,000 from the town, already in the capital budget, and another $250,000 in matching funds from Mercer County. Construction would begin only after funding is secured, Ms. Hoskins said. Spring Street Garage Assistant municipal engineer Deana Stockton told Council that improvements to the Spring Street Garage have taken longer than expected and are still not finished, but the new payment system is up and running. The garage remained open during installment of the new system, which took longer than originally planned. Parking during the installment period was free. There have been issues with the Smart Card apparatus, which means a four to six week delay in getting that up and running. There have been additional problems with the use of American Express cards, but other credit cards work. —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“What is your response to the Pope’s visit to North America?”

(Asked at Saturday’s Seminary Community Festival)

David: “I find it very moving that so many people are responding to the Pope’s visit. I think the speech that he made at St. Patrick’s where he was affirming Catholic women who were challenged by other branches of the Catholic Church was very moving. He recognized their hands-on work with people who are in need.” Joan: “I’m thrilled that they have a Jesuit in as Pope, and I like what he’s saying. However, here is my problem: the church’s dogma is still oppressive, particularly when it comes to people’s sexual orientations and gender preferences. I think the Pope should stand up and say we are all part of God’s creation and we accept everyone. —David Groeneveld, Roselle, and Dr. Joan deVelder, Somerset

Seth: “It’s an affirmation of the way we try to do church as a Protestant church in America. So it’s a beautiful thing to have the leader of the Catholic world who we actually hold up in a very high place as well, joining sort of the way we try to approach things in terms of openness and inclusivity. So in a nation dominated by fear this seems to be someone who is not interested in fear. He looks on faces rather than agreeing with overall assumptions about people.” Stephanie: “I’d say also that for people, whether you are a Catholic or not, the Pope has a moral voice and is speaking to issues that matter to Americans. He is speaking about things like interfaith dialogue, race relations, and the environment. So I think the Pope really has a tremendous audience and it’s not just Catholic Americans, but any Americans who are interested in these moral issues.” —Reverend Seth Kaper-Dale and Reverend Stephanie KaperDale, with Cora, Sena, and Leah, Highland Park

Edwin: “Turning down his invitation to dinner with Nancy Pelosi and the Speaker of the House to serve and dine with the homeless really impressed me.” Sonja: “I think it’s really cool that when he’s here he drives an Italian car but when he’s there he drives an American car. —Edwin Arevalo with wife, and Sonja, Hunter, and Michael, Titusville, N.J.

“I’m teaching Latin to prison inmates, and on his way to Philadelphia he visited a prison and that moved me. He seems like a man of the people and it’s a nice refreshing change.” —Andrew Sievengartner, Brooklyn, N.Y.

FARMLAND PRESERVED: One of the last developable pieces of open space on Mountain View Road in Montgomery Township has been preserved through a partnership between the D&R Greenway Land Trust and Emily and Johan Firmenich, owners of a 31-acre tract. The arrangement helps weave together a 650-acre fabric of preserved farmland and open space in the Township. The Firmenich property is a mix of hay fields along the road, and thick woods that support wildlife and protect the Cherry Run stream corridor to the east. The Firmenichs preserved the 31-acre site adjacent to their new home to fulfill a “sense of obligation,” carrying forward the legacy they received. “The families before us on this road had had the foresight to protect the land,” Emily Firmenich commented. “It’s a small road that means a lot to a lot of people. It’s a miracle that this road exists, and it would have been a shame to lose it.”

“I think it actually helped reactivate some of the conversations people had been having, not just about the Catholic Church but just religious rhetoric in general, and he’s doing an amazing job at sort of renovating what people’s ideas are about religion. You can definitely see people on campus getting really, sort of hyped about the Pope being here. “ —Dani Allen. Wichita, Kans., PU Class of 2016

NOT JUST ANY PUMPKINS: These super-sized pumpkins will serve as inspiration for the artists taking part in “The aMAZing Pumpkin Carve” at Howell Farm October 9-11, following a preview party on October 8. Carol Lipson, chairing the event for the Hopewell Valley Arts Council, shows just how big they are during one of the trips she made with Hopewell farmer Irwin Harbat to pick them up.

Artfully Carved Giant Pumpkins Take Up Residence at Corn Maze It took two days and two trips from Hopewell Township to Lancaster County, Pa. to load all of the pumpkins that will be transformed during the Hopewell Valley Arts Council’s “aMAZing Pumpkin Carve” at Howell Living History Farm next weekend. This is a project that requires pumpkins of a generous diameter, and Lancaster County was the place

to find them. Some 40 to 50 artists including Leon Rainbow, Curtis May, Don Campbell, and Caroline Hall will put their skills to work on October 8, completing their carvings in time for a preview party that includes a barbecue dinner, bluegrass music, and desserts. The artists, many of whom participated in HVCC’s “Stampede” public art exhibit last year, can check in as early as 10 a.m. but they have to be finished with their designs by 7:30 p.m. The party starts at 6:30. At the end of it, the pumpkin patch opens. Admission to the fundraiser is $50.

Then on October 9 and 10, the pumpkin extravaganza opens to the public. Immediately adjacent to Howell Farm’s four-acre corn maze, the finished pumpkins will be on display. There will be carving demonstrations and other surprises. Admission is $5; kids aged nine and under get in free. The pumpkin carve was the idea of Carol Lipson, who is a board member of the Arts Council and chairs this event. “I used to live outside Philadelphia, and I would always go to something called The Great Pumpkin Car ve in Chadds Ford,” she said. “I was always blown away by it. When I came here, I thought it would be wonderful to do, because at Hopewell Valley Arts Council we’re into celebrating art in the everyday. What could be more everyday than people car ving their own pumpkins?” The Howell Farm pumpkin carve follows the model of the Chadds Ford event, but Ms. Lipson and colleagues have added their own touches. “We have our own twist on this,” said Ms. Lipson. “We recognize that artists always get asked to donate their time. So we are paying our artists to carve. We’re really proud of them. It’s not huge — $250. But it’s an acknowledgment of what they bring to the table.” The other difference has to do with parameters. “Events like this tend to be really strict, but we’re giving the artists a lot of leeway,” she continued. “We’re letting them incorporate multiple pumpkins, or do just about

anything with their designs, as long as they use natural materials to cover up things like metal. Designs can be four feet high and four feet wide.” As for what the artists are planning, “It’s a big secret,” Ms. Lipson said. “We had some guidelines — nothing sexual or political. This is a family event.” In addition to the artists, some representatives from such area non-profit groups such as Eden Autism and Christine’s Hope for Kids will be carving pumpkins. Any non-profit group that participates by providing a carver will get a $250 donation from the Arts Council. “We really wanted to bring this into the community, and this will help drive tickets Continued on Next Page

sales as well,” Ms. Lipson said. Howell Farm’s corn maze is the longest-running of its kind in New Jersey. “The Mercer County Park Commission was looking for something new there, because they have been doing the maze for 17 years,” Ms. Lipson said. “It has been great to work with them. They have been really supportive. It’s been a wonderful teaming up. So we’re hoping to keep it going in the future, maybe with other events like a carnival or ice festival. They see this as a way to bring more people in, so it’s kind of a win-win for everyone.” Howell Farm is located at 70 Woodens Lane in Lambertville.

Chief Sutter talks with School Superintendent Steve Cochrane every day. “We are doing our best,” said Sergeant Bocchere, “to put officers around the schools, at drop - off and pick-up times, to give the schools’ faculty, students, and parents a greater sense of security.” Incidents of “swatting,” reporting bogus threats that are designed to provoke a re sp ons e f rom a SWAT team, have risen rapidly in this area and in the entire country over the past year, according to the Princeton Police Department. —Donald Gilpin

14 Spring Street 609-924-1824

A recent letter writer invoked Donald Trump in an attempt to criticize our excellent, solutions-oriented state legislators, Jack Ciattarelli and Donna Simon. (See letter from Beth Healey, Mailbox, September 23.) Any honest assessment of the facts would reveal that Ciattarelli and Simon are nothing like Trump. rather, Jack and Donna have earned endorsements from both small business and organized labor; are routinely voices of reason and calm in a sea of partisan rancor in Trenton. They cross party lines with an open hand and constructive and reasonable suggestions. Both have worked hard to represent ALL of Princeton with dignity and distinction. i am disappointed that the letter writer undeservedly tries to taint Ciattarelli’s and Simon’s excellent record by linking their candidacy with Trump’s presidential ego trip run. it’s frankly a shame to see people in our town so blinded by partisan ideology that they can’t see that good ideas exist in both parties, and good candidates do, as well. i urge all registered voters to examine the records of Assemblyman Ciattarelli and Assemblywoman Simon and to get to know them personally. They are dedicated, level headed, and conscientious. They pride themselves in representing everyone in their district. Check the facts, not the suppositions and vitriol. i am proud to have them as my representatives in the Assembly. Once you learn who they really are, i believe you will too. They deserve re-election on their own merits. JAMES HOCKENBErrY randall road

Thanking Princeton Community for Supporting High School’s Homecoming Weekend Celebration

To the Editor: We would like to thank our Princeton community for showing their support for Princeton High School at our Homecoming Weekend Celebration. Homecoming would not have been possible without the following support: The Princeton High School Student Council, the PHS administration and personnel, the PHS Football Boosters, the Town administrators, the superintendent and facilities crew, as well as, countless students, volunteers, teachers, and custodians that all came together to pull off this amazing event. Special thanks go to our Homecoming Chairs, roxanne List and Tamera Matteo, for their continued support and infectious spirit, and to Ann Marciano, who illuminated our efforts with her expertise. With over 2000 people in attendance at our Friday Night under the Lights Football game, it was a sight to behold. The celebration continued into Saturday with more games and festivities including JWMS annual Super Saturday Celebration. Thanks to everyone, including PHS neighbors and the greater community, for all their support! This truly has been a community event that the students will remember for years to come … a great tradition at PHS that the community can enjoy. PHS PTO

Books “China Challenge” Subject Of Wilson School Talk

Thomas J. Christensen, the William P. Boswell Professor of World Politics of Peace and War and director of the China and the World Program at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, will present a talk on his new book, The China Challenge: Shaping the Choices of a Rising Power, Wednesday, Sep tember 30 at 4:30 p.m. at Robertson Hall on the Princeton campus. A book sale and signing will follow the discussion. Mr. Christensen is an authority on China and East Asia foreign affairs and international security. From 2006 to 2008, he served as deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs at the U.S. Department of State with responsibility for relations w ith China, Taiwan and Mongolia. In his new book, he argues against the notion that China is a rival superpower to the U.S. and that its rise is a threat to U.S. leadership in Asia and beyond. Instead, he describes a new paradigm in revealing the real challenges dissuading China from regional aggression while encouraging the country to contribute to the global order. Drawing on decades of scholarship and experience as a senior diplomat, Christensen offers a new assessment of U.S.China relations. This event is co-sponsored with the Wilson School’s China and the World Program. ———

Child Molesters Subject Of Labyrinth Conversation

John Borneman will join Dagmar Herzog at Labyrinth Books for a conversation about his new book, Cruel Attachments : The Ritual Rehab of Child Molesters (Chicago $35) on Monday, October 5 at 6 p.m. The conversation will cover the ways in which much of the West increasingly focuses on rehabilitation through therapy. S aid to suf fer f rom a deeply rooted paraphilia, the child sex offender is often considered to be outside the moral limits of the human, profoundly resistant to change. Despite these assessments, rehabilitation through therapy provides hope t hat psychological transformation is possible. Examining the experiences of child sex offenders

COOKBOOK SWAP AT FARMER’S MARKET: Jersey Shore native and culinary educator Rachel J. Weston, author of “New Jersey Fresh: Four Seasons from Farm to Table,” will host the first annual cookbook swap at the Princeton Farmer’s Market on Hinds Plaza from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, October 1. The event offers an opportunity for participants to trade in their cookbooks, recipes, food articles or magazines for new recipes while checking out fresh local ingredients at the market. undergoing therapy in Germany — where such treatments are both a legal right and duty — John Borneman offers an account of rehabilitation for this reviled criminal type. Exploring different cases of the attempt to rehabilitate child sex offenders, Mr. Borneman details a secular ritual aimed not only at preventing future acts of molestation but also at fundamentally transforming the offender, who is ultimately charged with creating an almost entirely new self. Acknowledging the powerful repulsion felt by a public that is often extremely skeptical about the success of rehabilitation, he challenges readers to confront the contemporary contexts and conundrums that lie at the heart of regulating intimacy between children and adults.

According to C. Jason Throop, University of California, Los Angeles, “Borneman’s important ethnography carefully traces the complex pathways of desire, attachment, harm, violation, and care made visible in the context of rehabilitation.” John Borneman is professor of anthropology at Princeton University. He is the author of many books, most recently Political Crime and the Memory of Loss and Syrian Episodes: Sons, Fathers, and an Anthropologist in Aleppo. Dagmar Herzog is professor of history at the CUNY Graduate Center and the author of, among others, Sexuality in Europe: A 20th Century History; Sex in Crisis: The New Sexual Revolution and the Future of American Politics; and Sex after Fascism: Memory and Morality in 20th Century Germany.

“Special, So Special”: Chrissie Hynde Uses Her Imag-i-nation in “Reckless”

hr issie Hy nde’s Reckless : My Life as a Pretender (Doubleday $26.99), which entered the N.Y. Times non-fiction best-seller list in 7th place this week, is a gutsy rock and roll memoir whose sales have undoubtedly been boosted by online chatter surrounding the author’s account of a sexual attack and her repeated refusal to blame her attackers. Now she finds herself, as she slyly puts it in a recent Washington Post interview, “a leading authority on rape.” In the same interview, she says, “I wouldn’t expect most people to do some of the stuff I did. But then again, most people don’t get to be a rock star, either. We have to walk the plank.” In her case, walking the plank meant going to a biker “party” with a shipload of sexist pirates and suffering the consequences. The Most Important Word In “Brass in Pocket,” her first big hit with the Pretenders, Hynde defines herself as a performer and a lyricist much as she defines her career in Reckless. On her way to telling the world “I’m special, so special, I gotta have some of your attention,” she gives a crash course in body English, singing “Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs, gonna use my style, gonna use my side-step, gonna use my fin-gers,” saving the most important word for last, “my, my, my, imag-i-nation.” She serves up the story of her life no less boldly, nonchalantly, take it or leave it, in Reckless. Like the waitress she plays from experience in the “Brass Pocket” video, having done some real-life waitressing at an Ohio diner, she saunters from table to anecdotal table, her side-stepping style in play, just enough to keep you guessing. In the end it’s imagination talking, book and song, “I feel inventive, gonna make you, make you, make you notice … gonna make you see there’s nobody else here, no one like me.” In Ray’s Cafe What drew me to Chrissie Hynde’s book in the first place was a song by her ex-partner Ray Davies of the Kinks. As Hynde did when she formed the Pretenders on the rebound from walking the bikers’ plank, Davies made music out of a misadventure in New Orleans (shot while pursuing a thief, he landed in the trauma ward of Charity Hospital). The song, “Imaginary Man,” is an existential variation on “Brass in Pocket.” With her, it’s “I celebrate myself.” With him, it’s “I deconstruct myself.” While she moves sensually around in, savors, and sells her “imagination,” he becomes “the imaginary man” in the aftermath of a near-death experience where he saw his “reflection in the glass, watched as the world went flashing past,” and “couldn’t recognize” himself. No wonder these two hooked up in the 1980s and produced a child. No wonder they couldn’t live together. Among the numerous photos in Reckless is a shot of the smiling lovers captioned “Me and Ray. Always laughing.” Except that “we were not suited to each other. We’d always laugh about the absurdity of our fights, but there was nothing funny about them.”

Loving London Reckless contains one of the freshest, most vivid and engaging accounts of a rock-and-roll-besotted American falling in love with London and all things British you’ll ever read. Besides putting an ocean between herself and the bikers who brutalized her, Hynde was escaping from Akron, Ohio (“Boredsville, U.S.A.”) and the nearby college town of Kent (she was at Kent State during the shootings). It’s easy to share her delight in the “first sightings of Victorian and Edwardian buildings, cobbled streets, red pillar postboxes and phone booths and the double-decker buses driving on the wrong side of the road” that were “more beautiful than all my schoolgirl imaginings.” When she sees the destination Muswell Hill on a bus, she jumps on and rides to the end of the line, where she walks around “knowing that Ray and Dave Davies must have walked there, too.” This is London in the early seventies where the sound of a bus conductor’s ticket machine recalls punk rocker Shane MacG owa n’s l a u g h a n d “former dolly birds in miniskirts now looked like tired ve r s i o n s of t h e teenage daughters they were with.” She seals the “kid in a toy store” experience with an epiphany: “I saw St. Paul’s Cathedral as I emerged from a station one afternoon and, although I’d never heard of it and so didn’t know it was famous, when I saw the office buildings slammed up against it, it made me cry. I had fallen in love with London ….” Again, it’s no wonder she ends up with the composer of London’s sixties anthem “Waterloo Sunset.” In the Ohio chapters of Reckless, even as she expresses her Ray-Davies-like frustration with “a world where everything old was cast aside,” she mentions walking “through sleet and rain to hear Kinks records.” Later, she drives “a hundred miles through a terrible blizzard to see the Kinks.” Which leads to a significant moment: “After the show we were sitting on the curb outside the venue … when Ray Davies himself walked right past. He dropped a towel, bent over to pick it up and saw me sitting there. Eye contact.” Although the rockers Hynde gets truly passionate about are Lou Reed, David Bowie, and Iggy Pop, she picked the Kinks’ “Stop Your Sobbing” for the A side of the Pretenders’ first single and for the

group’s fifth single, she covered another song of Ray’s, “I Go to Sleep,” having been “enthralled” by the early demo sung by Davies when he was 19. Her emotional performance and the close-ups of her face in the video (not to mention that seductive turn as a waitress) no doubt helped precipitate a romance that took them to the brink of marriage in 1982 (“The guy at the registry office took one look at us and suggested we come back another time”). To see a blending of Ray and Chrissie, check out the online images of their daughter, Natalie Ray Hynde. Gretel’s Breadcrumbs Chrissie Hynde, who turned 64 earlier this month, has come a long way from the 22-year-old expatriate whose reaction when approached to write reviews for New Musical Express is recorded in Re c kle s s. “ T h e idea of me writing anything at all was ludicrous … I wasn’t a poet. I wasn’t a writer. To begin a paragraph and find my way to the conclusion — Gretel tracking a breadcrumb trail wou ld fare better.” Gretel finds her share of tasty breadcr umbs. A car driving up a hill “made a distinctive sound like a Spaniard rolling h i s R s .” Wo r king as a waitress in a diner called Jerr y’s, she was “coasting on apathy” and popping pills from “a mini at u r e c h e s t of drawers like something from a doll’s house.” She was also getting a taste for older guys who between them had “a BSA and a Corvette, which they’d park next to the curb outside the diner where I could admire them. In Ohio that was known as ‘foreplay.’” Being on the “city streets” of Toronto with a strung-out boyfriend she met in Mexico “felt all wrong, like salamanders dodging buses.” Referring to the almost-marriage, it was an event “that should have been enacted onstage in the theater of the absurd.” The almost-bride was wearing “a white silk suit I’d had made in Bangkok, with a skirt (so, you see, I really was serious), and white button-up ankle boots custom-made by Anello & Davide for me. We argued all morning.” As for being told to come back another time, “I guess mascara smeared over my face was the giveaway. Even a total stranger could tell we were making a mistake.” Her Comeuppance The most conspicuous example of how Hynde fares as a writer is her account of

the incident that went viral in the twittering instababble of the Net. She calls it her “comeuppance,” pointing out in typically quirky-savvy Chrissie Hynde style that she was high on Quaaludes (which “tend to make you do and say things you might later regret”), and already prone to “chaos and disorder” thanks to “a mouth that flapped like a rag nailed to a post in a windstorm.” As she goes to her fate “in a white slum that had ‘Jeffrey Dahmer’ written all over it,” she recalls fondly telling her “tall and regal” companions” she “must have died and gone to heaven,” a gushing, drugged-out reference to “their winged insignias.” She conveys an impression of what happened in their lair by using capital letters for the shouted threats and commands, such as “SHUT UP OR YOU’RE GOING TO MAKE SOME PLASTIC SURGEON RICH!” But the closest her account comes to actually getting physical is when she describes the “volley of lit matches” that bounced off her “rib rack … before dropping to the forensically soiled carpet, leaving little trails of blue smoke to struggle briefly and disappear — like I wished I could.” At this point, she flings another Molotov cocktail into the blogosphere: “Like I said, I’d never blame others for my transgressions. That would just be bad form. Painting oneself into a corner could pass as an art installation by any other name.” True to that metaphor, the corner she painted herself into — the trauma of the attack and the brute force of the attackers — gave her the material for “Tattooed Love Boys,” one of the best-known tracks on the first Pretenders album: you can hear the roaring of a hundred Harleys in the headbanging guitar jams. Imagine the same bikers watching the video of “Tattooed Love Boys” on MTV asking themselves “Hey, is she the skinny chick with the attitude?” as the song throws her story in their faces with a laugh, about how “the time came to explore,” “little tease” that she was, but “you don’t mess with the goods doll, honey you gotta pay,” and so she does in an abuse-set-to-music guitarsgone-wild frenzy she emerges from, sassy and triumphant, singing, “Well ha ha, too bad, but you know what they say, ‘Stop snivellin’, you’re gonna make some plastic surgeon a rich man!’” hatever the chatter about the “rape scene” may do for sales, and whether or not Reckless equals the success of Keith Richards’s Life or Patti Smith’s Just Kids, Hynde makes sure we know she did all her own writing. “I don’t understand this thing with autobiographies,” she says in the Washington Post interview. “If you haven’t written it, I don’t see how it’s autobiographical. I’m just saying, in general, not pointing any fingers at anyone.” While her writing isn’t on the same level with Smith’s, she holds her own with Richards, who had professional help from James Fox. Can she get the job done? As she herself might put it, “C’mon! Are you kidding me?” —Stuart Mitchner

“May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please?” Anyone at the Community Park Pool Complex between 1967 and 2014 remembers that voice booming out over the public address system. Larry Ivan, owner of that voice, has had the community’s attention for almost 60 years — as phys ed and social studies teacher for 42 years at Princeton High, Joh n Wit her sp o on, a nd Community Park Schools, as renowned coach and referee of basketball and track, as an official for the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), and as “the man at the pool” since its inception in 1967 and manager there for 41 years. A bronze bas-relief port r a it, to b e c re ate d by Princeton sculptor Stephanie Magdziak, and permanently installed at the Community Park Pool, ensures that Mr. Ivan will have our attention far into the future. ”I’m glad to know that Mr. Ivan will be as much of a fixture for future generations as he was for mine,” reflected CP Pool member Lauren Bender. The project is being funded by donations from community members and CP Pool supporters — about 140 so far, many of whom were also Mr. Ivan’s students or parents of students. An unveiling ceremony will take place next spring. “It was a complete surprise,” Mr. Ivan declared. “I thought someone was pulling a joke when I first heard

it. It’s quite an honor and I feel blessed. I didn’t get into it [education, athletics, pool management] for anything else but because I enjoy it. I want to see people learn and develop. It’s wonderful.” As the website collecting donations for the bronze portrait stated, “His kindness, gentle guidance, and sense of humor have touched so many of us.” The tributes from students he taught, athletes he coached, colleagues, and others continue for many pages on the website. “It’s an honor to help recognize a great coach and a great person,” wrote Royce Flippin, a PHS cross country runner from the early 1970s, “Mr. Ivan, you not only shaped many fine cross country teams, including the undefeated ’73 sectional champs and ’74 Group II state champs, but you always cared about and brought out the best in every one of your athletes and reminded us that success also meant enjoying what we were doing — a lesson that has helped me throughout life.” A former student in Mr. Ivan’s g y m class, Cindy Hamer recalled, “Never can forget your enthusiasm and encouragement as my PHS gym teacher. You made every student feel special and feel that we could accomplish anything we put our minds to.” Another former student, looking back many decades, remembered Mr. Ivan as a teacher and a coach, but, even more important, as a

man who cared and made a difference. “How many can remember Larry Ivan as a social studies teacher as well as a coach at the original Witherspoon School on Quarry Street in Princeton? I broke my ankle a week before our 8th grade class trip to the New York World’s Fair. Coach Ivan wheeled me around the World’s Fair in a wheel chair for the entire day. I’ll never forget it.” The word “inspiration” pops up repeatedly throughout the tributes for Mr. Ivan, and his co-workers were no less susceptible to that influence than his students. “It’s been an honor working and managing with you the last 35 years,” wrote CP Pool col-

And his words of wisdom to future generations offer advice that his life seems to have exemplified: “Treat people with respect and have fun and learn to do it the right way and you will be successful.” —Donald Gilpin

MUSIC REVIEW

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Opens Season With Music Dedicated to the Creativity of Women

he Princeton Symphony Orchestra is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year, and coincidentally has chosen to focus this season’s programming on a topic receiving worldwide attention. On Sunday afternoon, while Pope Francis was in Philadelphia conveying a message on the contribution of women, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra launched a season dedicated to women’s creativity, with a nod back to founding music director Portia Sonnenfeld. Sunday afternoon’s performance in Richardson Auditorium introduced one programming theme for the season: a pairing of works representing “the most significant voices of our time” with great masterpieces of the past. Princeton Symphony Orchestra Music Director Rossen Milanov chose to open this innovative season with a work by the avant-garde London composer Anna Clyne, whose passion is “collaborating with innovative and risk-taking musicians.” This composer of acoustic and electroacoustic music has found a kindred spirit in violinist Jennifer Koh, the guest soloist for Sunday afternoon’s concert. Clyne’s concerto The Seamstress for violin and orchestra was a journey through American and Irish fiddling, demonstrating the virtuosic capabilities of the violin. Through the dazzling technique and emotional interpretation of Ms. Koh, The Seamstress told a story, narrated by a spacious melody with a chromatic twist and punctuated by gentle colors from the winds. Ms. Koh played the long melodic lines with a bow barely leaving the strings and just the slightest amount of vibrato, interrupted by bursts of breakneck fiddling. Mr. Milanov kept the orchestral texture very even, with the timing between orchestra and soloist exact. Clyne has created very interesting wind colors in this work, with elegant orchestration of flutes in thirds against harp contrasted by an electronic element from a laptop computer. The texture was marked by flute solos from Yevgeny Faniuk and Mary Schmidt, as well as a

graceful violin solo from concertmistress Basia Danilow. With peaceful melodic writing combined with an impassioned violin solo, The Seamstress was an appealing work from an inventive composer for the 21st century. Mr. Milanov paired Clyne’s work with a work typifying the lush Russian Romantic orchestral tradition. Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 in E Minor, Op. 27 dates from the cusp of the Russian Revolution, when Rachmaninoff lived in Germany. At close to one hour in length, this symphony embodies the grandeur of early 20th-century Russia, an atmosphere well brought out by the Princeton Symphony. Mr. Milanov took a broad and regal approach to the work, with the majestic brass always clean from trumpets, trombones, and horns. Adding a sense of foreboding to the texture was a melancholy English horn solo, elegantly played by Nathan Mills. Ms. Danilow joined Mr. Mills at one point, creating a graceful dialog between violin and English horn. Mr. Milanov found a great deal of opulence in the dynamics through the work’s four movements, as the mood shifted from dark stateliness to a breezy pre-World War I ambiance from Rachmaninoff’s German residency. s with the Clyne work, wind solos added to the orchestral colors, especially from clarinetist Paschal Archer, Mr. Mills, and oboist Nick Masterson. The brass chorales so commonly heard in Russian music were well played by trumpets and trombones, and this was a great piece for the violas to add a rich lower quality to the orchestral palette. The second movement in particular shifts among styles, all well handled by Mr. Milanov and the orchestra. Mr. Milanov closed the symphony in strong martial style, as the players demonstrated their solid abilities to maintain the required intensity over the work’s extended length. —Nancy Plum

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra will present its next concert on Sunday, November 8 at 4 p.m. in Richardson Auditorium and will feature music of Schubert, Cone, and Rachmaninoff. For information call (609) 497-0020 or visit www.princetonsymphony.org.

Growing quality plants for over 80 years

Princeton Record Exchange, Bordentown Factory Caught Up in “Vinyl Frenzy,” as Demand Booms Still have those old vinyl records and the turntable you used until CDs took over in the late 1980s? You may be well positioned to take advantage of a wave of “vinyl frenzy,” as reported in a recent New York Times, article about a new vinyl factory in New Jersey. Using equipment from the 1970s, Independent Record Pressing in Bordentown is struggling to keep up with the booming demand, which has led to a six-month delay in processing orders for new vinyl, according to Princeton Record Exchange owner Jon Lambert. Maintenance of the old machines is a challenge. As reported in The Times, Independent should produce as many as 1.5 million records a year, but the machines are still not fully functional. Record pressing machines are difficult to find and difficult to maintain. Spare parts are scarce. The six presses at Independent Record Pressing were bought from a Montreal plant that shut down last year. “Sales of vinyl [in the U.S.] have increased nine-fold in the past 6 -7 years,” Mr. Lambert explained. While the annual promotional celebration known as “Record Store Day,” which began in April 2007, has helped promote vinyl sales, Mr. Lambert attributes the comeback of vinyl to more basic attributes of LP records. “Vinyl has a warm, more naturalistic sound than digital,” Mr. Lambert pointed out. “The packaging with liner notes and art work is more appealing. It’s a much more interesting piece of art.”

Vinyl, according to CNN, is in its most prolonged revival since the introduction of the CD. Nielsen Music’s 2015 mid-year report states that vinyl sales, up 38 percent so far this year, “now comprise nearly nine percent of physical album sales.” And, according to Nielsen, vinyl sales figures are under reported because many vinyl manufacturers don’t print bar codes on their record sleeves, and many independent shops don’t report to Nielsen. Unsurprisingly — or surprisingly, depending on your age — leading the new vinyl surge is Taylor Swift with her album 1989, which, at midyear, according to Nielsen, had sold 33,500 LPs. “Vinyl would never work at all if it weren’t a good format,” explained Mr. Lambert. “Eight-tracks are never coming back. And there’s a retro-chic factor.” Fifty-four percent of vinyl customers, according to The Times article, are 35 or younger. Mr. Lambert sees a reaction of Millennials against the habits of their CD-buying parents, “Young people want to be cool.” “The tactile power of a well-made record at a time when music has become ephemeral” as well as the “fuller, warmer sound from vinyl’s analog grooves” are two factors cited by The Times to account for vinyl’s growing popularity. As interest in vinyl records has grown, the demographic base, according to Mr. Lambert, has broadened. The vinyl inventory at Princeton Record Exchange is about three - quar ters used and one-quarter new, but the

customers are no longer overwhelmingly 35-55-yearold males. “A lot of teenagers have embraced vinyl,” M r. L a m b e r t r e p o r te d . “There are a lot more young folks in the store, and a lot of women too. This speaks to a positive future.” Used v inyl has always drawn a wide range of buyers from all over the world. to Princeton Record E xchange. “What I love about this store is when you see all ages, fans of all types of music,” Mr. Lambert observed. “An eclectic mix is the way to go.” A staunch advocate for the quality of vinyl over the convenience of more recent formats, Mr. Lambert described his prized 60-year-old jazz records that “sound as good today as they did when they were made.” “Vinyl frenzy” might be more than just a passing trend. —Donald Gilpin

Joe Miller Westminster Symphonic Choir Presents Choral Masterworks

The Westminster Symphonic Choir is a familiar performer on the concert stages of New York and Philadelphia, but its concerts in Princeton are few and far bet ween. T he Pr inceton area will have a rare opportunity to hear the 220-voice ensemble perform two choral masterworks on Wednesday, October 7 at 7:30 p.m. in the Princeton University Chapel. Conducted by Joe Miller and joined by Princeton University Organist Eric Plutz, the choir will perform James MacMillan’s Cantos Sagrados and Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem. One of MacMillan’s most

ANNUAL

powerful works, Cantos Sagrados sets poems by Ariel Dorfman and Ana Maria Mendosa on the subject of political repression in Latin America, combined with traditional religious texts in Latin. The work calls for a virtuoso organist and a nimble choir that is able to move from agitated speechlike violence to rapt meditation. Choir and Organ magazine wrote about the work, “MacMillan propels us unceremoniously into the heat, glare and violence of Latin America …. In the outer movements the choral writing is vividly dissonant with an organ part to match. The central prayer, an almost conversational arioso over a slow-breathing ostinato, is hauntingly beautiful.” Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem is renowned for its understated craftsmanship, and exploration of the idea of eternal rest with a sense of pious hope and comfort. Its intense spirituality inspired Nadia Boulanger to write, “His voice seems to interpose itself between heaven and earth, unusually perceptive, quietly fervent, sometimes grave and sad, never menacing or dramatic. To have given this to our unhappy hearts, to have combined charity with beauty, hope with love, is not this the most beautiful manner of participating in the work of the Church?” Composed of students at Westminster Choir College of Rider University, the Westminster Symphonic Choir has recorded and performed with major orchestras under virtually every internationally known conductor of the

last 80 years. Recognized as one of the world’s leading choral ensembles, the choir has sung more than 400 performances with the New York Philharmonic alone. In addition to this performance, its 2015-16 season includes performances of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and Jacques Lacombe, with the B erliner Philhar moniker conducted by Simon Rattle, Handel’s Messiah with the New York Philharmonic conducted by Jane Glover, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 with The Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Joe Miller is conductor of two of America’s most renowned choral ensembles: the Westminster Choir and the Westminster Symphonic Choir. He is also director of choral activities at Westminster Choir College of Rider University and artistic director for choral activities for the renowned Spoleto Festival USA. Eric Plutz has begun his second decade as university organist at Princeton University. His responsibilities include playing for weekly services at the chapel, academic ceremonies, and solo concerts. He has made four solo recordings on the Pro Organo label. James Reed of The Diapason wrote about French Trilogy, “Plutz is a master craftsman … his performances are sensitive, emotional, stunningly accurate, and spectacularly musical … truly a world-class performance by a worldclass musician,” and Denver Jubilee, about which David Schwartz of American Re-

cord Guide wrote, “… he understands, as would a great orchestrator, how to register the more orchestral side of the instrument ….” Two previous recordings are of the Princeton University Chapel Organ: Musique Héroïque and Carnival. Tickets for this performance are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. To order, call (609) 921-2663 or go to www. rider.edu/arts. ———

of ever seeing her daughter Paige (Elle Graham) again, especially since, as a recovering meth addict, she had already been forced to surrender custody of her daughter to an Aunt (Mimi Rogers). Meanwhile, the police were closing in. Since Brian had left his cell phone on, they were able to narrow his location to within a three-mile radius of the cell tower that was sending out his signal. They even spoke to him and suggested that he give himself up, which he refused to do. A seven hour ordeal ensued during which Ashley and Brian not only bonded, but also experienced a life transforming catharsis. Thanks to Ashley’s Narcotics Anonymous sponsor, she had a copy at home of The PurposeDriven Life, the inspirational bestseller by Pastor Rick Warren. In response to Brian’s admission that “I’ve got a demon in me,” Ashley asked him if she could share some of the insights that were in the popular self-help guide such as: “The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose,” and, “When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything.” Warren’s inspirational messages resonated with Brian and he surrendered soon afterwards. Thus unfolds Captive, a tale of redemption directed by Jerry Jameson. The movie is a riveting psychological thriller about a nationally publicized standoff that is told from the perspective of two troubled souls who were barricaded in a home surrounded by a SWAT team.

Producing Explosive Display on Both Sides of the Ball, Tiger Football Routs Lehigh, Girds for Ivy Opener

espite falling behind Lehigh 1310 in the second quarter last Saturday evening to trail for the first time in 2015, the Princeton University football team was unfazed. “They were moving the ball a little bit, they were hitting us on the edges but it was no concern,” said Princeton junior safety Dorian Williams. “The coaches have told us, they are going to hit a play here, a play there, and just stay to our game plan and keep doing what we are coached and everything is going to work out.” With sophomore back-up quarterback and jack-of-all trades John Lovett making some big plays, the Tigers answered with 14 points in a span of 73 seconds. In Princeton’s first possession after Lehigh went up, Lovett made an 11-yard run and hit Isaiah Barnes down the sideline with a pass for a 33-yard gain. Joe Rhattigan finished the drive with a 12yard rumble for a touchdown. On the Tigers’ next possession, Lovett snared a 33-yard reception to get Princeton to the Lehigh 31-yard line. Two plays later, starting QB Chad Kanoff found Seth DeValve with a 26-yard scoring strike as the Tigers took a 24-13 lead into halftime. “I am doing everything I can do for the team to win,” said Lovett, who ended up rushing for 59 yards, passing for 33 yards, and getting 71 yards receiving on the evening. “There are points in practice where we battle through adversity and that just showed on the field. We stayed within ourselves and got the job done.” In the second half, the Tigers finished the job, pulling away to a 52-26 victory before 15,023 at Princeton Stadium, producing a spectacular show before the crowd was entertained by a post-game fireworks display. Princeton head coach Bob Surace, whose team snapped a four-game losing streak to Lehigh and is 2-0 for the first time since 2006, was thrilled to see

his team post a win over the Mountain Hawks. “They had beaten us different ways, they kicked our butt, they held us off when we made comebacks and they have come back on us,” said Surace. “We mentioned that at halftime. We said we have this lead and it doesn’t mean anything. We just got to stay focused, it is 2015, it is not 2012 or 1989 when I played. It is the 2015 team and let’s see how we respond.” Princeton showed focus from the start on Saturday, taking the opening kickoff and marching 75 yards in eight plays, culminating with an 8-yard touchdown run by junior Rhattigan. “You want to hit the ground running and going fast and I think that is what we did,” said Rhattigan, who rushed for 62 yards on eight carries. “We came out and we were just very physical. Our coach stresses effort every play. Every play you are in there, give your maximum effort and good things will fall into place. I think this game is very indicative of that mentality.” On defense, the mentality for Princeton was to swarm to the ball. “It is 11 people to the ball, pursue the ball,” said Williams, who made 12 tackles and forced two fumbles, returning one 39 yards on a spectacular play to set up a fourth quarter touchdown by DiAndre Atwater that gave Princeton a 45-19 lead. “It is all we have been doing, it is what we have been taught.” Applying those lessons resulted in four caused turnovers as the Tigers added interceptions by R.J. Paige and Khamal Brown to go with the fumble recoveries by Williams and John Hill. Paige’s third quarter interception helped break the game open as he raced 36 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to give Princeton a 31-13 advantage. “Last week got the win (a 40-7 victory over Lafayette) but coach stressed the turnover battle,” added Williams. “We didn’t win that, we lost 1-0 so this week,

turnovers were a big stress for us. We got it done today.” Surace beamed when asked about the defense’s opportunistic play. “You have got to capitalize, we have had balls go through their hands and we dropped them,” said Surace. “For that to happen, for us to come up with them is huge.” Over the first two weeks of the season, Princeton has come up huge offensively as the team has totaled 92 points, the most points in the first two games for the program since the 1950 squad scored 100 on the way to the national championship. In the win over Lehigh, the Tigers displayed exquisite balance, rushing for 244 yards and passing for 235. Surace, for his part, is not surprised by the team’s output so far. “We saw it at practice, we have a very good defense and they challenged us every day at camp to the point where HIGH INTENSITY: Princeton University receiver Seth DeValve there was frustration,” said leaps up for a pass last Saturday against Lehigh. Senior star Surace, who got 93 yards and co-captain DeValve made four receptions for 55 yards and rushing from Atwater with a touchdown to help Princeton rout Lehigh 52-26. The Tigers, Kanoff completing 13-of- now 2-0, start Ivy League play when they host Columbia (0-2) 24 passes for 195 yards on October 2.

Building on Solid Effort in Annual California Trip, No. 11 PU Men’s Water Polo Tops Hopkins, GW Heading west earlier this month for its annual swing to California, the Princeton University men’s water polo team hit some turbulence. The Tigers went 3-2, suffering a 14-6 loss to No. 8 University of California, Irvine and a 10-7 defeat to 10th-ranked University of California, Davis while posting a 12-7 win over Santa Clara, a 14-6 victory over Redlands, and 12-9 triumph over University of California, San Diego. I n as s e s s i ng t he t r ip, Princeton head coach Luis Nicolao saw plenty of positives as his team tested itself against some of the top programs in the country. “Overall, I thought it was pretty good for us,” said Nicolao. “I still consider it part of our preseason even though we had some big games. It is a chance to see where we are and play some games that don’t really factor in our league standings but at the same time could factor in the end of the year, depending on what happens if we do well. We ran out of gas at the end against Davis.” Starting Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Southern play last Friday at Johns Hopkins, Princeton came through at the end as

it pulled out a 17-15 overtime victory against the Blue Jays after trailing 12-10 entering the fourth quarter. “It is just one of those games you always know is going to be crazy; it was Saturday night at 8 p.m. and they had a great crowd for it,” said Nicolao, noting that the Johns Hopkins pool has a shallow end. “It was a typical game at that facility; it was just back and forth, we are very fortunate to get out with a win and that is what I told the guys, we found a way to win, let’s get out of here.” The Tigers are fortunate to have senior star Thomas Nelson, who matched a career-best with six goals in the victory over Hopkins and now has a team-high 33 goals on the season. “Tommy is a great player; he has always been a tough competitor,” asserted Nicolao. “He is one of those guys that you know game in, game out, he is going to compete. He may not have the best game of the day but you can expect Tommy to compete every time he is in the water.” A day later, Pr inceton competed well at George Washington, jumping out to a 4-2 lead on the way

to a 14-9 victory as Nelson and freshman Ryan Wilson scored four goals apiece with freshman Michael Swart and junior Jovan Jeremic each chipping in two goals. “I think it helps to get that first shallow game; you come back the next game and you know what to expect a little more,” said Nicolao, whose team improved to 9-3 overall and 2-0 CWPA with the victory. “We were able to get an early lead and that helped not worry about mistakes and just go out and play.” The play of newcomers Wilson (21 goals in 2015) and Swart (21 goals) has been a big help to the Tigers. “We have three freshmen who can really help us,” said Nicolao. “Matt Payne (6 goals) is out with illness, he will be back soon. Swart and Wilson have been really good. That freshman class is going to help us all year. They are really great players, they are intense. They love to play and love to compete. It has made us a little deeper than last year. I think it will help us a lot that we have more guys who can score.” Sophomore Jordan Colina has emerged as another key scoring threat for 11thranked Princeton, having tallied 24 goals and eight assists so far. “Jordan is a solid, smart

We have a lot of speed. I think Jordan can have a great year.” With Princeton falling just short of the CWPA title and a bid to the NCAA tournament last year with a 7-6 loss to Brown in the championship game, Nicolao believes the Tigers can take the next step this season. “We have a great team, the guys get along very well,” said Nicolao, whose squad is next in action when it plays at Bucknell on October 10. “It is a long ride. I think we are going to be there at the end. It is just a matter of who gets those breaks in the last weekend. I think last year is going to help us keep motivated and hungry.

As a senior and a battletested veteran on the Princeton High boys’ soccer, Cole Snyder is taking charge on the field this season for the squad. “I have been with the team for four years now, so I know what they expect of me and I know what they expect of the team,” said forward Snyder, a team tri-captain along with classmates Chris Harla and Pete Luther. “I am just here to tell them what the coaches want.” With PHS locked in a scoreless tie at Ewing midway through the first half Thursday, Snyder’s leadership took the form of banging in a free kick to give the Little Tigers a 1-0 lead. Minutes later, he picked up an assist on a set piece as Sam Edwards slotted home a rebound of a Snyder free kick to give PHS a 2-0 advantage.

“This is my first year taking free kicks; I had never really practiced free kicks until this year,” said Snyder, noting that he has now scored three goals on free kicks this season. “I have got to be captain out there, I am taking free kicks this year no matter what. I have been working on that and leadership. I try to be part of every goal. Free kicks are big for our team this year; we also have Pete (Luther) on the other side who can get some cracks in so that is nice.” In the second half, PHS kept up the pressure, pulling away to a 4-1 win over the Blue Devils. “I would say one of the strong suits on this team is fitness and I attribute that to coach (Carlos) Salazar, who is also a trainer,” said Snyder, who assisted on a late goal by Luis Lazo.

“Our fitness is great; we say we own overtime. I can tell you that I am not the only one, none of us are winded on the field. We want to keep that pressure up and the quality on the ball.” Snyder and his teammates are determined to show their foes that PHS is a high quality squad. “We wanted to come in and make a statement that we are still a CVC powerhouse,” said Snyder. “Ewing is a good team. They are an athletic team and they are tough defensively. We just chipped away at them with possession. We have been working on that all season, trying to hold it and break down the defense and then go.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe likes what he has been getting from Snyder all season. “Cole is fantastic with his industriousness, his ambition, and his confidence around the box,” said Sutcliffe of Snyder, who chipped in a goal last Saturday as PHS defe ate d t he L aw renceville School 2-0 to improve to 6-0-1. “I think that is the third set piece he has hit in this year. His leadership has been great. He is giving a lot of energy and I think other players can take note of that. We need more guys like Cole.” In the win over Ewing, PHS got the defensive effort it needed. “We didn’t have many problems; it is a tight, narrow field,” said Sutcliffe. “I thought that our back four did a great job, just trying to figure out the little problems as the match went on. Jake (Caddeau), Edgar (Morales), Andrew ( Beamer), and Dwight ( Donis), they were sharp, that has to be said. It is all good things, I think our best soccer is in front of us.” In order for PHS to play its best soccer, the defense needs to tighten up a little bit. “We only have three clean sheets after six games and that is not good enough so our goal is finding a way to get through games without conceding,” asserted Sutcliffe. At the attacking end, the Little Tigers are working on finding a rhythm. “We have a nice balance between Cole, (Alex) Ratzan, and Luis (Lazo); all of whom have similarities but bring something special,” said Sutcliffe. “After six games you are still not even set on your lineup and once we have that, we will have some consistency there. Then we will really be able to build and get better. It is a slow process.” Snyder, for his part, believes that PHS is building the foundation for something special this fall. “If we can hold the ball, we are going to be good all season because we don’t have trouble scoring and we don’t have trouble keeping them out of the net,” said Snyder. “If we can control the game and play our game, good things will come.” —Bill Alden

Ziegler Provides Valiant Effort in Trenches As PHS Football Falls 35-21 to Hightstown As a three-year starter for the Princeton High football team, senior lineman Noah Ziegler strives to set a daily tone for the squad. “I have a lot of urgency, I am ready to get up and go in practice,” said tri-captain Ziegler, who starts at offensive tackle and defensive end. “I try to be the first one out on the field after school. I try to keep the guys together, I try to keep them pumped up, happy, and intense.” Entering its Homecoming clash last Friday night against Hightstown, Ziegler was confident that the team’s work over the week would pay off against the Rams. “We had a decent week of practice this week and I thought we were going to come out and put up points right away,” said Ziegler. “We didn’t but we were moving the ball.” PHS took a 7-0 lead in the second quarter on a six-yard touchdown run by Rory Helstrom. After HightLOCKING HORNS: Princeton High star lineman Noah Ziegler, left, battles a Hightstown blocker stown knotted the game at last Friday night.

in the game as a PHS drive deep into Hightstown territory ended with an interception. In the waning moments of the second quarter, the Rams hit a long pass to advance to the PHS 35. On the last play of the half, Hightstown scored on a 35-yard TD pass to take a 21-14 lead into halftime. The Rams increased their lead to 28-14 early in the third quarter. PHS, though, kept fighting and narrowed the gap to 28-21 on an 11yard scoring strike from D ave B e a m e r to Ja kob Green. “I definitely did think we were going to have a rally, we have a really good team right here,” said Ziegler, who had helped key a 3427 comeback win at Ewing on September 18. But the Rams responded by marching 80 yards for a score with 2:25 left in regulation to seal a 35-21 win. While disappointed by the result, which dropped PHS to 1-2, Ziegler believes the Little Tigers are primed to get back into the victory column. “I feel like we are right there, we are ready for another win,” said Ziegler. “We are ready to go up against the next opponent. We get tomorrow off and Sunday off, I am going to tell the guys that you shouldn’t take it off. Rest, relax but watch film, you have to get better every day.” Ziegler acknowledges that PHS has to get better on both sides of the ball to get on the right track. “Last week (the win over Ewing) was a big step forward, we changed up our line actually,” said Ziegler. “We moved a couple of guys besides myself; I stayed in my position, I have been starting left tackle for three years. We are definitely making progress. This week, we did well on offense but we have to work on defense.” PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher acknowledged that Hightstown quarterback Ryan Conlon caused a lot of problems for the Little Tiger defense as he hit on 19-of23 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns. “We couldn’t stop their QB, he is a good quality player,” said Gallagher. “He was throwing the ball nice, he was running the ball nice. He was definitely a lot better than he was last year. He was hitting the mark; they had some well designed screens that they ran. Those guys run hard. They got the ball and moved down the field on us.” While the PHS offense had some nice moments, it misfired at critical times. “We moved the ball but we d id n’t c apit a l i z e on

a few things,” lamented Gallagher, who got 143 yards rushing from senior running back Helstrom while senior quarterback Dave Beamer completed 17-of-28 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown. “Early in the game we had a few opportunities to punch it in. We fumbled the ball on our first drive. We have done that before and that puts you behind the 8-ball and you start playing catch up.” In Gallagher’s view, the Little Tigers need to focus on getting better starts. “We have got to get out to a lead early, we have to stop playing catch up,” said Gallagher. “If we get out ahead early, I think we will be in much better shape and put the other team on the defensive. We need to put the pressure on those guys and let them play catch up. You make mistakes when you are trying to catch up. That is how we cause turnovers and we haven’t gotten many turnovers. We have gotten close but we have to find a way to get some turnovers.” Gallagher likes the play he is getting for Ziegler all over the field. “Noah is just doing a really great job, we are glad that he is a captain,” said Gallagher. “He is acting like a captain. He is going both ways, he is non-stop. He is on a lot of special teams. He is batting the balls down and getting after the quarterback with pressure. He has done a great job of run blocking and pass blocking. We are happy he is where he is at. He is doing everything you could ask from a guy who has been playing varsity for three years.” With PHS playing at Lawrence (0-3) on October 3, Gallagher knows that his team has to start doing a better job in order to make a second straight playoff appearance. “We only have six games left now so we have to start putting wins in that column and hope for the best,” said Gallagher. “We have tough teams still to play. Lawrence is strong, they have talent and then we have to go to Steinert. We have got Winslow, they are playing pretty well. Hopefully we can make some hay and try to a find a way into the playoffs.” Ziegler, for his part, is confident that PHS will find a way to make it a big fall. “We have a lot of returners from last year, I feel that we have a great season ahead of us,” said Ziegler. “I have no doubt that these guys will rally together and fight hard.” —Bill Alden

Hosting Ewing last Saturday, the Princeton High girls’ soccer team got an early wake-up call as it yielded two unanswered goals in the first five minutes of the contest. “I think in the first 10 minutes of that half, we didn’t have our heads right, we weren’t as focused as we needed to be,” said senior star midfielder and tri-captain Gabrielle Deitch. “Unfor t unately it took their goals to get us to go that extra mile on the field. After that, we were really motivated to retaliate.” Deitch took it upon herself to retaliate, making a run through the Ewing defense and blasting a shot into the back of the net with 21:27 left in the half. “I was really determined on that one; I was trying to get to goal,” recalled Deitch. “We really needed a goal to pick us up to show that we were still in that game and it wasn’t over.” After trailing 2-1 at halftime, PHS fell behind 3-1 as Ewing tallied with 17:48 left in regulation. The Little Tigers, though, didn’t give up, as Hanna Rush scored on a Taylor Lis feed to make it 3-2 with 5:59 remaining. PHS kept pressing forward but couldn’t manage another goal as Ewing held on for the win. “I thought that was good because we were going to show that the extra goal was not going to get us down,” said Deitch, reflecting on

the late surge by PHS. “There was still so much time left. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough; we got close. I think that shows what we are as a team, we are going to fight until the last second no matter what the score is.” Coming into Saturday, PHS realized that it faced a fight with gritty underdog Ewing. “We knew going in that this was going to be a tough game but we didn’t quite play like that from the start,” said Deitch. “I think we have to play how we practice.” Deitch likes how her team has played overall this fall as it has started 3-1. “I am really happy, it is not a bad way to start,” said Deitch. “We were just saying as disappointing as it is to lose, it is better to get this game now and learn from it so we can do well the rest of the season.” As the season unfolds, Deitch is determined to be a catalyst for the Little Tigers. “I see my role as getting that ball up the field and going to goal or passing back to the forwards to finish,” explained Deitch. “It is the kind of role I think I have grown into since freshman year. I have been playing there for a while and it is where I see myself.” PHS head coach Val Rodriguez is seeing some good things from Deitch. “Her touch on the ball and her vision is top notch,” said Rodriguez.

“Like I told her at halftime, I didn’t even see the gap she created. She split two players and went to the goal. There was nothing even around her except three defenders; she had to create what she could and it is magic for her.” Reflecting on the loss to Ewing, Rodriguez acknowledged that PHS created problems for itself through its early lapses. “We came out sluggish, letting them get behind us and inside us very easily,” said Rodriguez. “A 2-0 hole against a good team is very difficult to come out of. I felt the team played well after about the 10-minute mark into the game. Unfortunately, sometimes bounces don’t go your way. We hit crossbars and shots went wide but the reality is that is what happens. You can’t hope that luck goes your way. You have to make your opportunities the best that you can.” In Rodriguez’s view, the squad needs to find a way to play better around goal at both ends of the field. “My message to the team is that we weren’t disciplined on both 18s today, both defensively and offensively,” s aid Ro dr ig uez. “No. 3 scored their third goal wide open and we can’t have that.” While the loss to Ewing stung, Rodriguez believes the Little Tigers have shown plenty of promise in the early going. “We are upset, it is Homecoming and you want it,” said Rodriguez. “But it isn’t tournament season yet. We are not going to have a perfect record. I am happy with where we are at.” Deitch, for her part, wants to go out with a bang in her final season with the program. “It would have been awesome to win the Homecoming game but there is so much more to come and I am looking forward to that,” said Deitch. “I think we all want to do well and leave everything out there because we don’t want to have any regrets looking back.” —Bill Alden

Junior Star Peterson Assuming Leadership Role As PHS Field Hockey Gets on Winning Track Avery Peterson is only a junior but she sees herself filling the big sister role for the Princeton High field hockey team. “Last year, two captains, Lucy Herring and Campbell McDonald, were on my line and I was the underclassman,” said Peterson. “Now as an upperclassman, I take it as my role to help the other forwards. I hope to improve Maggie Lynch, who is a senior, and Mariana Lopez-Ona. I look at them as little sisters this year. I feel that I really need to step up and be the one the team can rely on.” Last Saturday morning against visiting Ewing, Peterson stepped up early tallying a goal four minutes into the contest, setting the tone as PHS cruised to a 6-0 win over the Blue Devils. “This was our homecoming game so we wanted to come out with a strong mentality,” said Peterson. “That goal was more of a scrum on the goal line and I pushed it in. I had a lot of help from Mariana Lopez-Ona and Jordyn Cane.” In Peterson’s view, PHS is coming on strong, having learned lessons from e arly - s e as on d efe at s to Lawrenceville, Allentown, and Peddie. “We started with some really tough games; it helped our mentality and fired us up,” said Peterson, who added two more goals last Monday as PHS edged Hopewell Valley 3-2 to win its third straight game and improve to 5-3-1. “We took those losses as learning opportunities and we continued to expand on things that we learned from each game. It has really helped us that we had strong challenges in the beginning.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson is pleased with the way Peterson has expanded her role on the team. “I think that being the only returning forward, she has a lot of weight on her shoulders and she is starting to relax a bit,” said Serverson.

“She has been on lately, she is getting a lot of tips. Basically the other forwards are all brand new and she is trying to help them all along while trying to perform well herself. It is a lot of work that she has to do. She is doing very well.” In reflecting on the win over Ewing, Serverson saw it as a positive step for her squad. “In general, they did improve on some things we have been working on from the losses we have already had,” said Serverson. “It is the passing game and not dribbling so much and really making sure you look up and are aware of the next pass before you have the ball. Those things were good today and I think we executed some corners well.” Senior midfielder and Lehigh-bound Trish Reilly has been executing particularly well for PHS. “Trish is our anchor in the middle, she is kind of like the quarterback who plays halfway up in the group,” explained Serverson of Reilly, who tallied two goals and an assist in the win over Ewing and then contributed a goal in the victory over HoVal. “She is able to keep everyone calm, she is a great communicator. She has a good mind-set for someone who needs to make others look good, she understands

that and she isn’t always trying to score the goals.” Another player who has been looking good for the Little Tigers is versatile junior Jordyn Cane, who had two goals against Ewing and an assist against HoVal. “We have been moving Jordyn around a little bit; she is the kind of player who can do that so she has been a good person to have on the team,” added Serverson. “She is willing to do whatever I need her to do and she always steps up to the plate. I am happy with the way she is playing.” Overall, Serverson is happy with her team’s progress. “I think we are starting to find our new normal, which is what we have been working on this season,” said S er ver s on, w hos e te a m hosts WW/P-N on September 30 before playing at WW/P-S on October 2, and at Hun on October 5. “We lost key players and that is hard. I think they relied on them a lot more than I thought they did. I think the key piece of that is that they played together so long. It is more than losing the players, we lost their tightness on the field.” Peterson, for her part, feels that PHS is developing into a tight unit. “It is a newer team, almost half the team is new girls,” said Peterson. “I think we are really coming together now especially with those hard losses in the beginning.” —Bill Alden

Fulfilling Wishes of Late Friend Noden, Woodside Takes Helm of PDS Cross Country For John Woodside, taking the helm of the Princeton Day School cross country program this fall was a matter of coming through for a good friend. When previous PDS head coach Merrell Noden realized last year that he might be losing his valiant battle with cancer, he reached out to Woodside, a running buddy and former Princeton High boys’ cross country and track coach. “Last winter I would officiate at some of the Lawrenceville meets and Merrell came to watch (his son) Sam run,” recalled Woodside, who first met Noden, a former Lawrenceville and Princeton University running star, in the 1970s, striking up a friendship through racing against him and running together through the years. “He said to me, ‘John, look the truth is, I don’t really know if I am going to be able to coach next year because physically I am not able to so if I can’t coach, I really want you to take over.’” W hile Woodside didn’t want t hings to come to that, by late April, Noden formally stepped down from his coaching duties. PDS contacted Woodside and he was quickly hired to guide the Panther boys’ and girls’ cross country programs. Initially, Woodside believed that Noden would be available to assist him. “I had expected him to be around and I was really looking forward to it because the kids would really like it and it would have been great for him,” said Woodside, who stopped coaching at PHS after the 2012 cross country season. “We planned on having the team meeting the last week of school. Merrell had said it would be nice if we all could meet and he could introduce me as the new coach but that didn’t happen.”

Noden died in late May, leaving a huge void in the PDS and local running community. Woodside acknowledges that the transition was a bit rocky as he succeeded the beloved Noden. “I am a ver y different coach; Merrell and I were good friends but we coach differently,” said Woodside. “I have to coach them the way I coach them. I have a way of coaching that is different so there is an adjustment but I think that is coming along now. They are getting used to what I expect of them. We are working with a good group of kids, the kids that really want to run and to compete are there.” In Woodside’s view, that work is starting to pay dividends. “You understand the situation and you just work with what you have and we did,” said Woodside, noting that he had runners joining the team at different times, starting with the first day of preseason in late August through the first week of school. “We have some kids who can run and they are learning my system. They are taking to it. I feel like it is finally kicking into gear.” A s for t he PDS boys’ squad, junior Kevin Sun is hitting a higher gear at the head of the pack, followed by junior Russell Kirczow and sophomore Nicholas McLean. “Kevin is our top runner; he is a true distance runner,” said Woodside. “He truly loves running long distances. We are trying to work on getting his 5k faster. He is adjusting to that. He is very, very dedicated to cross country. He is running well and I think he is going to run even better. Russell was one who came out when school started. He is a good runner. He is a good baseball player so this is his

Mushroom Asiago Chicken

Ruthann Jennings, Lawerenceville NJ. Ingredients: lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thin cut. ( The ones that are already split for you.) salt pepper ½ cup all-purpose flour 4 Tbsp unsalted butter 1 lb sliced mushrooms ½ tsp salt 3 cloves garlic, minced ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth 3 sprigs fresh thyme or ¾ tsp dried thyme leaves ½ cup heavy cream ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese Parmesan cheese for sprinkling Directions: •Lightly season each cutlet on both sides with salt and pepper and dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. •Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt about 2 Tbsp unsalted butter. Add as many cutlets as will fit into the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook for 1 additional minute. Remove the chicken from the skillet to a plate and cover lightly with foil. Repeat with remaining chicken cutlets. •When all of the chicken is cooked and set aside, add remaining butter to the skillet along with the mushrooms and ½ tsp salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and become softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. •Pour white wine (or ½ cup chicken broth) into the skillet and stir to scrape up anything that is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Once the wine has nearly all evaporated, add ¾ cup chicken broth and thyme. •Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 10–15 minutes at a rapid simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. •Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in heavy cream. Sprinkle the Asiago cheese over the top of the sauce and stir constantly until the cheese melts. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and allow it to simmer in the sauce just until the chicken is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened. Sprinkle with a bit of Parmesan cheese and serve right away, either all by itself, or spooned over pasta or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
