“Expanding Capacity,” PPS Begins New Year; Referendum Postponed

It’s back to school today, Wednesday, September 5, for about 3,800 Princeton Public School (PPS) students. PPS is also welcoming 29 new teachers and 26 new support staff members, eight unaffiliated staff, and three administrators — all pursuing the theme of “expanding our capacity.”

The theme applies to both the tangible — the $129.6M bond referendum, just postponed from its original November 6 ballot date, which seeks funds for the building of a new 5/6 school and extensive renovations and upgrades throughout the district — and the intangible — the human capacities for learning and growth in the students and the school community.

Last night’s anticipated Princeton Board of Education (BOE) vote to place the referendum questions on the November 6 ballot was postponed pending final approval by the State Department of Education. PPS received notice yesterday that the DOE is still in the process of reviewing the district’s plans, along with a backlog of many other projects from other New Jersey districts.

The delay means the referendum will not be on the November ballot, and, pending approval from the DOE, the next target date for a vote will be announced according to referendum dates set by the state.

Discussion and debate within the Princeton community will undoubtedly continue throughout the fall. “We will take advantage of this additional time to ensure that everyone has accurate information about the district’s needs for space and security, the impact of the proposal on learning and wellness, and the associated costs, both short- and longterm,” said PPS Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

Emphasizing the importance of both tangible and intangible aspects of the planned expansions, Cochrane wrote last week in a letter to the Princeton community, “Schools are more than physical spaces. They are given life by the people in them. And so I am excited for the other ways we are expanding our capacity — individually and collectively to care, to learn, to lead.”

Civil Rights Commission Seeks Improvements A Princeton Council subcommittee last week offered its recommendations for upgrading Princeton’s Civil Rights Commission (CRC), an advisory body without investigatory or enforcement authority that has recently been the source of controversy and the target of charges of “dysfunction.”

Recommendations of the committee included a more streamlined and clear conflict resolution process, an upgrade of the orientation process for new commission members, and improvement of communications and opportunities for commissioners to get to know each other.

A proposal to rename the commission — from “civil rights commission” to “commission on civil rights” — in order to clarify its role was also presented, but after discussion among Council members and the public, that recommendation was apparently tabled. By state law, Princeton’s CRC, which was originally established 50 years ago and re-established two years ago after a 20-year hiatus, has never had the power to investigate or enforce.

The CRC’s voluntary, non-binding conflict resolution committee was put on hold in February 2018, pending review and clarification by the subcommittee charged with considering “changes to the establishing ordinance and procedures that will allow the commission to better achieve its

objectives.” The subcommittee includes Council members Lance Liverman, a former member of the CRC; Leticia Fraga, 2017 CRC chair; and Tim Quinn, Council liaison to the CRC. Fraga emphasized the importance of the subcommittee’s efforts, particularly the clarification and streamlining of the conflict resolution process. “I have confidence that when the process is complete, the CRC will soon again be able to provide assistance to individuals who believe their rights may have been violated, through a facilitated conflict resolution process,” she wrote in an email after last week’s meeting.

She continued, “As progressive and

welcoming as Princeton is, we cannot overlook that there may be occasional incidents that may cause an individual to have a very different experience. The white nationalist flyers that continue to appear in our community highlight the need for us to continue the work of the CRC, including outreach and education.”

Acknowledging the limitations of the CRC, she added, “the CRC’s conflict resolution process may not always be the best process for all aggrieved individuals, but they can at the very least become informed as to what other options exist.”

Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert stated that the CRC will meet on September 18,

Keeping Westminster Choir College in the hands of an entity that understands its mission was the focus on an open discussion held by The Westminster Foundation at Nassau Presbyterian Church on August 29. The public forum was the second to be presented by the Foundation in recent months.

Rider University, which absorbed the famed choir college in 1991, plans to sell it to a Chinese company for $40 million.

Those opposing the sale of the school to

the Beijing Kaiwen Education Technology Corporation say the company is ill equipped, financially and academically, to run the college. At least two lawsuits against Rider, related to the sale, are pending.

Various ideas were explored, including a proposal in which the town of Princeton would float a bond issue to purchase the school. Panelists included Rider Associate Professor Jeffrey Halpern, who is chief

Cherry Grove Farm’s newest farmstead cheese, Rarebird, was awarded a silver medal at the 2018 American Cheese Society (ACS) competition in Pittsburgh this July.

The ACS Conference is the premier cheese event of North America. Artisan cheesemakers from all over the world gather to meet, learn, and taste the best cheeses being made in the United States and Canada.

Rarebird was entered in the Farmstead Cow’s Milk category. To meet the requirements of the Farmstead category, each cheese had to be made from raw cow’s milk produced on the farm and aged 60 days or more.

A washed rind, raw milk cheese aged between 60 and 90 days, Rarebird is the newest cheese in Cherry Grove Farm’s lineup. After 12 months of fine tuning, cheesemakers Paul Lawler and Sean Fitzgerald homed in on the texture and flavors that they want this cheese to express.

Rarebird’s defining characteristic is that it is made with the milk of only one single milking. This ensures that the milk is as fresh as possible, and includes the taste of the terroir of the farm’s Lawrenceville pastures.

When mature, Rarebird’s paste has a silky, custardy feel, giving off a whiff of minerally sea cave and a bit of the barnyard.

Cherry Grove Farm’s silver medal joins three blue ribbons from ACS in prior years.

Director, Playwright of “The Age of Innocence” Praise Edith Wharton at McCarter Forum

Fans of Edith Wharton find plenty to love in The Age of Innocence, her novel about a New York love triangle in the stultifying high society of the Gilded Age. But when they were younger, playwright Douglas McGrath, who wrote the theatrical adaptation that opens at McCarter Theatre Center on September 7, and Doug Hughes, who directed the production, did not count

themselves among those fans.

Fast forward a few decades, and the two Dougs are overflowing with praise for the book. Appearing along with McCarter’s resident producer Debbie Bisno at Princeton Public Library last Thursday as part of the McCarter Live at the Library series, both men described how they came to regard The Age of Innocence as a masterpiece.

their productions.

McGrath was an Engish major at Princeton, a welcome escape from his native Midland, Texas, a place he likened to “a frying pan full of dirt.” But the town had an active community theater, where he saw a children’s play and a live preview of My Fair Lady. “I heard [the song] ‘Wouldn’t it be Loverly’ and that was it,” he recalled. “To see those colors, to experience the magic of leaving the world you’re in and going someplace else …”

McGrath’s work on Triangle Club productions was good training for the television show Saturday Night “I didn’t read it in col- Live (SNL), where he began lege,” admitted McGrath, his career as a writer. “For who graduated from Princ- Triangle Club, I wrote some eton University in 1980 and Continued on Next Page wrote for The Triangle Club productions. “And had I read it then, I wouldn’t have appreciated it. My criteria at the time was that if by page five someone hadn’t been shot or had sex, I wasn’t interested.”

McGrath wrote the screen versions of Jane Austen’s Emma (starring Gwyneth Paltrow) and Charles Dickens’ Nicholas Nickelby. In some ways, The Age of Innocence trumps them both.

“Wharton understands both genders better than either of them,” he said. “And she understands them equally. Her intuition about people is extraordinary. What makes the novel great is how it is relevant to each generation.”

Hughes, a Harvard graduate, read The Age of Innocence in school but “skated through it,” he said. “I didn’t understand, at 19, that it was a masterpiece.”

The play runs through October 7 at McCarter’s Berlind Theatre and is a co-production with Hartford Stage, where it had a recent run.

The cast and creative team are the same — “97 percent intact,” said Hughes. He is a Tony Award winner and the son of actors Barnard Hughes and Helen Stenborg.

Asked by moderator Paula Alekson how he came to be a director, Hughes recalled his childhood. “When you’re the child of actors, you learn pretty quickly that you’re not the only blessed event in their lives,” he joked. Being raised in the theater “supplied me with a way of seeing the world, of stopping the distractions,” he said.

Hughes majored in biology at Harvard, but soon found himself starting a small theater company and directing

lyrics, and the play, and then we did it. That experience was invaluable to me before doing SNL, because of that. You had to come up with material, adapt it, and get on with it. At SNL, it was the same thing.”

Like him, most of the writers at SNL were Ivy League educated. But he was the lone Princetonian in a sea of Harvard graduates. “I was surrounded by a lot of silly people who were very smart,” he said. “They knew a lot that I didn’t know, and I felt badly about that. So I made it a point to read The Age of Innocence, and other books, at that time.”

The book’s protagonist is aristocrat Newland Archer, following him from his 20s through middle age. “When I read the book, I was in my late 20s and the central concerns of Newland as a young man were my own concerns.

When I wrote the play, I had an older man’s perspective and I understood him as an older man, thinking ‘What did I miss? What did I get?’”

Turning the novel into a play is “like you’re taking apart a Rolls Royce, and reassembling it into a much smaller thing, like a Volkswagen — with the spirit retained,” said McGrath.

McGrath’s play is faithful to the novel, w ith a few additions. Both he and Hughes said they keep the book close at hand. “I love having the book in the rehearsal hall,” said Hughes.

“To call it a touchstone really understates it.” McGrath added, “We go back to the book whenever we have a problem, and that solves it.”

Westminster School’s Future continued from page one

grievance officer for Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors; Rider Professor Gerald D. Klein; Westminster Professor Joel Phillips; and architect Joel Schwartz. The forum drew between 75 to 100 people, while more than 1,300 viewed it live on Facebook, according to Constance Fee, president of the Foundation.

“It was a hot summer night just before Labor Day weekend, so we were hoping to get 50 people, but we had more,” she said after the forum. “We didn’t expect anybody on Facebook, and we were pleasantly surprised.

It just shows how important this issue is to the community.”

Phillips presented what he called the faculty perspective. “This is not about China. It’s just about this c o m p a ny, w h i c h i s n ot qualified to run anything in higher education, in China or in the United States,” he said. “It’s simply not able to do that. It’s also not about Rider. Rider has been a fantastic partner for Westminster. What it is about is the [current] senior administration and board, who have s elected t h is u nsu itable suitor … and their attempt to liquidate $40 million from a place we believe to be priceless.”

Phillips compained that Rider President Gregor y Dell’Omo and the board of trustees have not included faculty and other members of schools’ communities in the search process. Halpern added, “We have no ability to see what the finances of

the new institution would be, since the details have been kept secret.”

Several members of the public asked questions and offered suggestions. Princeton resident Kip Cherry expressed concern about how the ongoing disagreements about the sale have affected enrollment. Halpern said that since Rider announced it was pursuing a sale of Westminster two years ago, recruitment has not suffered too much. “But in the present uncertainty, it would be unsustainable,” he added.

Fee said that further forums will be held every few months, as long as the uncertainty about Westminster’s future continues.

“We’ve got t hings in place so that if and when a hand is reached out, we can put it into motion,” she said. “We look like the destructive force here. But we wouldn’t be doing that if we didn’t have exhaustive efforts ongoing to get ready for a better solution. I can’t say what those things are, but we have names, people, and organizations ready to move ahead to help us. We continue our efforts to firm up Plan B, Plan C, and keep working on Plan D.”

T he Fou ndat ion’s goal is to save the college and make sure it is stabilized.

“We are researching development professionals to raise money to get the word out about enrollment, to do things it looks like Rider isn’t doing,” Fee said. “Kaiwen is not the problem. The plan is the problem. And as long as we have no assurances of any kind about what is in this deal, we will continue.”

Asked for comment on the forum and the status of the sale, Rider spokesperson Kristine Brown said, “Rider and Kaiwen have made steady progress towards completing the transaction and planning for the transition of Westminster Choir College. Earlier this month, Kaiwen announced the creation of Westminster Choir College Acquisition Corporation and the appointment of Larry Livingston as interim president — both exciting developments for the future of WCC. With the new school year beginning, we will be sharing more updates on our progress and providing our community with more information as we move forward.”

SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST MATH & MAGIC: Princeton University Mathematics Professor Manjul Bhargava, recently appointed as the first distinguished chair for the public dissemination of mathematics at The National Museum of Mathematics in New York City (MoMath), will be offering a course titled Math & Magic with Manjul at MoMath from September 12 to December 12.

Princeton Professor Promotes Math and Magic at NYC Museum Recently named inaugural distinguished visiting professor of the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath), Princeton University Professor Manjul Bhargava will be teaching a course starting next week on math and magic at MoMath in New York.

As the first distinguished chair for the public dissemination of mathematics, a position dedicated to raising public awareness of math, Bhargava will lead the eight-session course from September 12 to December 12, focusing on mathematical concepts such as number theory, group theory, recursion theory, topology, coding theory, and cryptography, and how they reveal secrets behind some of the most puzzling and well-known magic tricks.

These mathematical ideas have also had important appli-

cations and have led to recent discoveries in areas beyond magic. The MoMath website description for Bhargava’s course promises “an engaging exploration of magic tricks and the beautiful mathematical ideas that drive them.”

MoMath, at 11 East 26th Street, is in its fifth year of operation, aspiring “to enhance public understanding and perception of mathematics in daily life.” The Math & Magic with Manjul sessions, appropriate for ages 13 and over, will take place on select Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. over the next three months, the first of many events that Bhargava will host at MoMath.

“This eight-week course is a remarkable opportunity for people to spend quality time with one of the most brilliant mathematicians of our time and

engage in enlightening one-onone conversations,” said MoMath Executive Director Cindy Lawrence. “Dr. Bhargava presents a rigorous level of math in a way that appeals to the broad public and connects with math lovers of all ages and abilities.”

She added, “We hope that the creation of the distinguished visiting professorship will create a paradigm shift in the United States, to more publicly demonstrate the value of providing world class mathematics outreach to the public.”

In addition to the 2014 Fields Medal, considered the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematicians, Bhargava has received many other top mathematics honors and awards and was named one of Popular Science magazine’s “Brilliant 10” in 2002.

after which the Council subcommittee will review their recommendations and bring back to the full Council proposals to be acted upon.

Lempert observed that the conversation and the process involved could be “a little dry and procedural,” but she emphasized, “At the end of the day this is about how we treat each other and the kind of community we want to live in. The work of the CRC is so important for ensuring that we’re working every day to-

wards creating the community that we all feel respected in and want to live in.”

In a written statement delivered at last week’s meeting, Liverman highlighted the important role of the CRC “to make sure that every resident of Princeton is treated fairly and with respect.”

Providing historical perspective on the Princeton CRC, which was created in 1968 by a group of concerned citizens, CRC member Tommy Parker noted that it “was one of the

greatest initiatives of any community in New Jersey. It put Princeton on the map as a leader. Princeton jumped out in front. We need to remember that legacy and act on it.” He added that the CRC is already working on the Council committee’s recommendations. “We’re moving and we’re on top of it,” he said.

At last week’s session, Leighton Newlin urged the Council and CRC not to slow the progress on civil rights issues in Princeton, warning, “Princeton has a long history that is rather ugly, and it has its share of implicit bias. This body needs to be able to impact policy. We need to continue forward.”

and staff will encounter a new schedule, starting the day at 8:20 a.m., 30 minutes later than last year, and incorporating longer blocks of time to promote deeper learning, as well as two periods every six days designed for students to meet informally with their teachers and gather for club activities.

“The changes to the high school schedule are anchored in research, developed and supported by staff, and will have a profound impact on student learning and student wellness,” Cochrane said. “The science is clear: aligning the schedule of our building with the biology of our students’ brains

improves learning. Adolescent brains are different.

By starting our high school students’ day at 8:20 a.m., we are allowing them to be learning at a time when their brains are more fully awake.”

Citing a study conducted last year that revealed that PHS students were getting an average of less than seven hours of sleep a night, far less than the CDC and American Association of Pediatrics recommendation of 8-10 hours, and that “this chronic sleep loss negatively affects our students’ minds, bodies, and emotions, Cochrane noted, “Shifting to a later start time improves physical and emotional wellness. When schools shift to a later start time, adoles-

Celebrating Excellence In Education Starting a new school year is like opening an exciting new book! It is filled with endless possibilities. It presents an opportunity to engage with new people, new ideas, new adventures. And, best of all, the book we open is one we write together!

This year, the story of the Princeton Public Schools might well be entitled, Expanding Our Capacity. With a major facilities referendum on the horizon, we will be exploring the expansion of our physical capacity with needed and innovative new spaces to better support our students and their learning.

But schools are more than physical spaces. They are given life by the people in them. And so I am excited for the other ways we are expanding our capacity - individually and collectively - to care, to learn, to lead.

This year our high school will be implementing a new schedule with a later start to the day and with longer blocks of time designed to support deeper learning, enhanced engagement and student wellness. The middle school will be piloting “advisory,” a program in which teachers spend time each week intentionally building relationships and engaging students in smaller groups. And at the elementary level, we will be piloting two new math programs, integrating even greater differentiation into our science curriculum, and continuing to revise our social studies curriculum to represent the rich historical narratives of multiple cultures.

The Princeton Public Schools continue to demonstrate statewide leadership in the area of equity, and I am proud of our focus on “knowing every child” and on incorporating into our instruction the cultures, the interests, and the learning strengths of our students. We will continue that focus in the year ahead as we expand our efforts to provide differentiated instruction and culturally responsive teaching. We will continue that focus as we join with our students - and our fellow community members who share in our story – in modeling what it means to care, to learn, to lead.

Sincerely, Steve Cochrane Superintendent of Princeton Public Schools Our Mission To prepare all our students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate citizens of a global society.

cents still go to bed at the same time, but they get up later. They get more sleep.”

John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) will be piloting an advisory program with teachers engaging with students in smaller groups once a week to intentionally build relationships as well as to talk through a variety of topics most relevant to the lives and learning of young adolescents.

Also, a number of curriculum improvements are on tap in the four elementary schools, with two new math programs, enhanced science courses, and a revised social studies curriculum more fully representing the historical narratives of different cultures.

Promoting Equity Cochrane specifically emphasized the district’s work towards the goal of equity.

“We are committed to this work over the long haul,” he said. I was inspired by the time I spent this week with the nearly 50 staff who are part of the building-based equity teams we have created to help lead us toward our goal. I am inspired by the steps we have taken already to diversity our curriculum, diversify our staff, and to overcome our biases.”

Of the new staff members this year, 38 percent are individuals of color, with 31 percent (nine) of the new teachers and counselors being educators of color. “I am proud of our focus on ‘knowing every child’ and on incorporating into our instr uction the cultures, interests, and the learning strengths of our students,” Cochrane added.

“Equity is not about simply providing supports for those students who may be deemed ‘at risk,’” he continued. “Equity is actually about eliminating the phrase ‘at risk’ and instead looking at every student in our district as a student ‘of promise.’”

Citing the challenges of “generations of real and perceived injustice in our community,” “forces nationally that are fostering mistrust and division based on race and culture,” and “our own unconscious biases,” Cochrane went on to express his hope “that by continuing to have honest conversations, and by listening to each other with humility and openness, we will take the risks and make the changes that empower all our students to not only reach their highest potential, but to become themselves advocates for equity in our culturally complex world.”

Concerning Town’s “Use It or Lose It” Smart Card Parking Meter Policy

To the Editors: Let me get this straight: our town is spending about a million dollars on new parking meters, at around a thousand dollars each, but can’t be bothered to save a few old meters so that it can refund the balances on smart cards? That is literally all it would take – just keep a few of the old meters inside one of the town offices, use them to read balances off the old cards, and then give cardholders back their money. If handling cash is the problem, balances could be transferred to the new online app. I have enjoyed the convenience of my smart card, but it would take a significant lifestyle change to use my balance by the end of the year, especially once it becomes usable in only one place.

The “use it or lose it” plan sounds like a policy concocted by airline or insurance executives. I would have expected better from elected officials who are my neighbors, but I guess that was naïve. Nobody likes being swindled, even if the amount is small – the town should change this callous, bad-faith plan or invite a class-action lawsuit whose costs will swamp the modest windfall it seems hoping to pocket from smart cards holders.

JONATHAN ECKSTEIN Longview Drive Editor’s Note: Town Topics received the following response after sharing the letter with Mayor Lempert and Princeton Council: “We recognize that some residents have balances on their Smart Cards that they may not be able to spend down completely before the meters are replaced in October/November. To accommodate these card holders, Smart Cards will still be a valid method of payment at the Spring Street Garage for eight more months, until April 30, 2019. Additionally, we are exploring the feasibility of transferring Smart Card balances onto the new parking app.

“We are switching to new meters as part of Princeton’s effort to make parking in the town work better.

These new meters will enable payment by credit card and smartphone as well as coins. Because the old Smart Cards use outdated technology that is no longer supported in the parking industry, they will unfortunately not be compatible with the new system. To avoid any inconvenience going forward, we are encouraging all Smart Card holders to use up the balance on their cards before the meters are replaced in October.

an outrageous sum in exchange for the very poor level of municipal services that we receive and a rapidly aging and inadequate infrastructure in comparison to other communities with much, much lower combined taxes.

We have examined the school budgets of a dozen high performing school districts with similar demographics in the northern half of the state, including neighboring West Windsor-Plainsboro and Montgomery. Having lived in North Jersey for much of our lives, we know for a fact that the cost of living is consistently higher there than in this part of Central Jersey, yet the per pupil cost for Princeton even without any proposed increases far exceeds that of any high performing district that we examined. The results of our comparative analysis have been widely distributed throughout the community and have been updated earlier this year based on available NJ DOE data.

We respectfully request that the Princeton Board of Education NOT increase our already burdensome, if not impossible, property taxes with additional costs that provide no apparent benefit to the public school students of Princeton.

Former Board of Ed Member Disappointed About Renewal of Cranbury Relationship

To the Editor: I served as a member of the Princeton Regional Board of Education over 30 years ago (1981-1987). We had a very hard time dealing with declining enrollment and faced tough decisions about which neighborhood elementary schools to close. This experience does not qualify me to answer the current question of how to deal with increasing enrollment, especially at the high school. However, I learned one lesson that may be of use today: don’t lose sight of our mission to provide the best education to the town’s children within the financial constraints of the community’s resources. It would have been easy, but wrong, to keep all four schools open and simply bill our taxpayers for that luxury.

Today, I have serious misgivings about how our Board of Education is working through the knotty issue of enrollment changes. Specifically, I am disappointed that the current Board appears to have renewed a ten-year sending-receiving relationship with Cranbury prior to deciding how to address significant expansion of the high school. The renewal decision removes one major means of reducing the enrollment problem that necessitates such expansion. Was this a backdoor attempt to force approval of the bond? Did the Board simply presume that the community would approve the construction program before public discussion? Why wasn’t the Cranbury decision delayed until after the community voted on the proposed bond? The order in which these two major issues are being addressed seems backwards at best and raises a concern about the Board’s sensitivity to the financial constraints of our citizens.

Princeton Taxpayers for Nearly Three Decades Aging School Facilities Have Become Express Strong Opposition to BOE Referendum Impediment to Teaching, Learning, Safety To the Editor:

We have been Princeton taxpayers for nearly three decades and stand vehemently opposed to the proposed Princeton BOE referendum.

AFTERNOON CONCERTS 2018 Princeton University Chapel Thursdays, 12:30 – 1:00 Admission free

September 13 Eric Plutz Princeton University Princeton, NJ

To the Editor: This fall Princeton residents will vote on a crucial referendum for our schools and our children, as some of the cramped, aging school facilities have become an impediment to teaching, learning, safety, and wellness. At PHS for example, anxiety-producing school shooting drills now occur regularly, but guidance space and security remain inadequate. Classrooms are often sweltering or frigid due to HVAC problems, even during tests. Classroom and cafeteria space are insufficient, while three large, unused outside atria remain frustratingly inaccessible. And as more multi-family dwellings are built and new families continue to move to town, utilizing such capacity becomes even more necessary. Students, staff, teachers, and administrators do a truly fantastic job, but they know that critical repairs, updates, and expansion are needed right now.

Referendum questions 1 and 2 address these and other pressing issues.

Some residents assert that facilities don’t matter in student outcomes, citing excellence in our schools. Teachers, parents, students, and demographics contribute to these strong outcomes, but they do not obviate the need for safe, sound buildings and adequate room for the people inside them. I am curious if those who say facilities don’t matter would choose to tolerate similarly poor heating, cooling, or crowded conditions in their homes.

I don’t especially like tax increases. But I stay informed and involved, and I feel confident in the capabilities of those entrusted to manage our schools. I have found the elected Board, administration, and teachers to be generally accessible, wise, and willing to answer questions thoughtfully. I also see with my own eyes that critical HVAC and security improvements, and capacity expansions, are necessary NOW, and would urge anyone in doubt to request a tour of the high school as a case in point (PHStourguide@ gmail.com). This wonderful high school, which Princeton takes great pride in, was built in 1927. Although there have been additions, much of that building is just plain old and it shows; it needs updating.

Some have noted that other towns require less expensive updates — but most neighboring schools are much newer than ours. I would also add that the vitriolic Cranbury discussion appears to be a bit of a red herring, as the needs being addressed in the referendum are not changed by the presence or absence of a small, declining number of students from Cranbury, while their tuition payments contribute meaningfully to the district’s operating budget.

It would be unwise to vote no on the referendum in hopes that a future analysis will result in a meaningfully better, cheaper plan. Waiting will almost certainly result in

increased maintenance, construction, and financing costs, while leaving our children in sub-par facilities for longer.

As Princeton residents, we’ve signed on to vote, pay taxes, and most of all to live in a community where the safety and education of children are consistently top priorities.

I encourage you to vote YES on the referendum this fall and help the schools fulfill their mission for our children.

YWCA Princeton Stands Firmly Against White Supremacy Messaging

To the Editor: In recent weeks, white supremacist stickers have appeared in Mercer County and their message was disturbingly clear: “Reclaim Your Nation. Reclaim Your Heritage.” We at YWCA Princeton want to reiterate that we remain dedicated to our mission – to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

Like any agency with a nearly 100-year history, we have endured and weathered the changing attitudes of society as a whole. We have also been witness to the effects that racism has had in the communities we serve. We do not and will not tolerate racist messaging, as it is in direct odds with the advancement of our mission.

In 2007, with the now-dissolved YWCA Trenton, we cofounded Stand Against Racism (STAND), which is now a signature campaign of YWCA USA. The STAND’s purpose is to build community among those who work for racial justice and to raise awareness about the negative impact of institutional and structural racism in our communities.

This year, we innovated the STAND to make it meaningful for all of our community members throughout the year, through a range of civic engagement activities. As part of the STAND, this summer we proudly hosted an open-for-all summer series featuring three distinguished speakers who held discussions around difficult and often-times ignored topics such as racism in higher education, racism and mental illness, and the Black immigrant experience.

We will not let these racist stickers overshadow the hard work of our staff, supporters, allies, and most importantly, children and families served by our programs. We have an English as a Second Language program that serves over 300 students each year, including free United States Citizenship classes for individuals undergoing the naturalization process. Our Child Development Centers promote diversity and inclusivity in the classrooms and our Bilingual Nursery School in Princeton supports bilingual preschoolers. Our Breast Cancer Resource Center has an initiative to provide support and services for women of color recently diagnosed with breast cancer as well as breast cancer survivors of color.

We are committed to any and every person that walks through our doors, to always stay true to our mission, and we urge our community to STAND with us.

In solidarity, JUDY HUTTON CEO, YWCA Princeton

Looking Ahead to November, An Endorsement Of Council Candidates Niedergang and Williamson

To the Editor: In about eight weeks the voters of Princeton will have the opportunity to cast their votes for candidates seeking national, state, and Mercer County offices as well as for two candidates for Princeton Council. In light of recent events, our attention as Democrats has been drawn to the need to support Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate and House to create a bulwark against the actions of a president who upholds neither his oath of office nor the rule of law.

However, the quality of the people that we elect to Princeton Council is also important as our local elected officials make the decisions that affect the everyday lives of Princeton residents. Two current members of Princeton Council, Heather Howard and Lance Liverman, both progressive Democrats, will retire from elected office at the end of this year. Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson are the two progressive Democrats who are running to succeed Lance and Heather, and they have been endorsed by the Princeton Democratic Party following their convincing win in the Democratic primary election. Both Dwaine and Eve have participated in the life of the community as volunteers and have the knowledge, the experience, and the commitment to be effective members of Council. They are committed to achieving smart, sustainable growth, being fiscally responsible stewards of our public funds, and strengthening the core values of our welcoming and inclusive Princeton community. As members of Princeton Council they will provide a voice for all members of our community.

I ask you to join me in voting for Eve Niedergang and Dwaine Williamson, progressive Democrats for Princeton Council, in the general election on November.

Looking for Emily Brontë in the “Wild Workshop” of “Wuthering Heights”

T

he image of Emily Brontë on the cover of Robert Barnard’s contribution to The British Library Writers’ Lives series is a retouched detail from the portrait of the three Brontë sisters, Anne, Emily, and Charlotte, painted by their brother Branwell. Two years ago at the Morgan Library’s Charlotte Brontë bicentennial, I stood in front of the original painting (circa 1834), with its folds, creases, and marks of wear. The contrast between the spectral Emily I saw then and this radiant girl is eerie. There’s color in the cheeks and brow and lips and the light of thought in the eyes. What had seemed a neutral expression now appears appealingly impertinent. It’s incredible to think this fresh-faced human being aglow with attitude was born 200 years ago, July 30, 1818, and died at 30 in 1848, a year after the publication of her only novel, which came into the world with its author concealed behind the pen name Ellis Bell.

Wuthering Heights has been synonymous with mystery ever since.

Is This Emily?

This was a question I found myself asking as I read the second chapter, prompted by the face on the cover of Barnard’s brief, nicely illustrated biography, and by his reference to a first-hand observer’s insistence that “E. was not timid” but “the reverse.” Seeing this trait as further evidence of her “contempt for the enervating banality of social intercourse,” Barnard quotes someone else who knew her: “Imagine Emily … ‘taking wine’ with any stupid fop and preserving her temper and politeness!”

There’s nothing stupid or foppish about her novel’s narrator, Mr. Lockwood, when he enters his landlord Heathcliff’s residence for the first time to be rudely greeted by a young woman he mistakenly assumes is Mrs. Heathcliff. Staring at him “in a cool, regardless manner, exceedingly embarrassing and disagreeable.” she makes it provokingly clear that she has no patience for small talk and no interest in polite “social intercourse.”

When he makes reference to the “rough weather,” she says nothing, and when she does speak, she expresses herself even “more repellingly” than Heathcliff himself.

After a closer look, Lockwood sees that she’s “slender, and apparently scarcely past girlhood” with “an admirable form, and the most exquisite little face that I have ever had the pleasure of beholding; small features, very fair; flaxen ringlets, or rather golden, hanging loose on her delicate neck; and eyes, had they been agreeable in expression, that would have been irresistible: fortunately for my susceptible heart, the only sentiment they evinced hovered between scorn, and a kind of desperation, singularly unnatural to be detected there.” When Lockwood offers to help her reach down a tea canister, she snaps at him (“I don’t want your help!) and upon finding that no one has actually asked him to have tea, “She flung the

tea back, spoon and all, and resumed her chair in a pet; her forehead corrugated, and her red under-lip pushed out, like a child’s ready to cry.”

Although the girl in the painting lacks the golden ringlets, and I’m admittedly reading between the lines, it’s that pushed out red underlip that has me wondering if the person peeking impertinently out at the reader is Emily Brontë. While it’s possible that the character may be modeled on her younger sister Anne or a friend, or a composite of both, let’s be daring and assume that it’s Emily saying, in effect, “Enter this book at your peril. Make your own tea. Sit down, shut up, and read. Hear those dogs barking outside, hear the snow blowing against the windows? One false move and out you go.” And when that “unmannerly wretch” Mr. Heathcliff arrives shaking snowflakes from his coat, it’s apparent that he and t he g irl a n d t h e au thor are all elements of the same compositional mood.

“Are you going to m a ke t h ’ tea? ” Heathcliff demands, shifting his “ferocious gaze” f rom Lockwood to his daughteri n - l a w, w h o remains unwilling to offer it on her own, asking if their guest is “to have any.”

The answer (“Get it ready, will you? ”) is u t t e r e d “s o savagely” that L ockwood is s t ar t le d, for “t he tone in which the words were said revealed a genuine bad nature.” In fact the setting is steeped in the bad nature of Heathcliff with his “diabolical sneer” and the “look of hatred” he gives the offspring and namesake of Catherine Earnshaw, the 20 years dead love of his life.

The author makes her presence felt again by performing what could be a sendup of Heathcliff. As Lockwood sees it, “the little witch put a mock malignity into her beautiful eyes” after terrifying the ancient servant Joseph, who had dared to tell her she’d go “raight to t’devil, like yer mother afore ye.” Gladly acknowledging her fond familiarity with “the devil’s name,” she goes on to threaten the poor man with infernal abduction. “I’ll show you how far I’ve progressed in the Black Art” she says, taking down “a long, dark book from a shelf.” While he cries “wick-

ed, wicked!” she promises to “seriously” hurt him, “you’ll see! Go, I’m looking at you!”

Again, it’s reader beware! — the author’s looking at you. No wonder Charlotte Brontë’s biographical notice about her sister suggests that “an interpreter ought always to have stood between her and the world.”

Charlotte’s Billboard Sister Charlotte’s introduction to the edition of Wuthering Heights published after Emily’s death has to be one of the most graphically preemptive warnings ever attached to a literary work. She seems intent on scaring the reader away from this “rude and strange production,” which may seem to “calm” and “moderate” people “in a great measure unintelligible — and where intelligible — repulsive.” Meanwhile, like any wise publicist, the elder Brontë has to be at least semiconsciously attuned to the advantages of amplifying the n e gat ive s — “t he harsh ly manifested passions, the unbridled aversions,” and “the grinding influence of natures so rel e nt l e s s a n d implacable, of spirits so lost a n d f a l l e n” that for some readers the “m e r e h e a r ing of certain vivid and fearful scenes banished sleep b y n i g h t .”

Charlotte also apologizes for all the cursing even while defending the need to spell out the words in full rather than abbreviating them. She has hardly a kind word for anyone, though there are “glimpses of grace and gaiety” in the younger Catherine, and “even the first heroine of the name” has “a certain strange beauty in her fierceness, or of honesty in the midst of perverted passion and passionate perversity.” You can almost see the words spelled out in giant letters on movie billboards: Unbridled Aversions!

Spirits Lost and Fallen! Fearful Scenes!

Perverted Passions!

And she has yet to mention Heathcliff, who is “doomed to carry Hell with him wherever he wanders,” “a man’s shape animated by demon life — a Ghoul.” Sounding like a lawyer trying the case against Mary Shelley’s Creature (who was, like Emily, born in 1818), Charlotte asks whether “it

is right or advisable to create beings like Heathcliff … I scarcely think it is.” Her description of Emily’s submission to the dark muse is clearly autobiographical: “Be the work grim or glorious, dread or divine, you have little choice left but quiescent adoption. As for you — the nominal artist — your share in it has been to work passively under dictates you neither delivered or could question.” The author of Jane Eyre knows whereof she speaks.

Her Wild Workshop In the last paragraph of the preface, which claims that Wuthering Heights was hewn in a wild workshop” and is signed Currer Bell with Emily still identified only as Ellis Bell, Charlotte creates a word-picture of the monumental Heathcliff whose shadow reaches into the 21st century. It’s a statue “on a solitary moor,” the head “savage, swart, sinister; a form moulded with at least one element of grandeur — power.” And “there it stands colossal, dark, and frowning, half-statue, half rock: in the former sense, terrible and goblinlike; in the latter, almost beautiful, for its coloring is of mellow grey, and moorland moss clothes it; and heath, with its blooming bells and balmy fragrance, grows faithfully close to the giant’s foot.”

“No Coward Soul” After invoking “Heaven’s glories” and the faith that arms her from fear in her poem, “No coward soul is mine,” Emily Brontë declares that “the thousand creeds that move men’s hearts” are “unutterably vain” while “the almighty ever-present Deity” is “Life, that in me has rest, /As I Undying Life, have power in Thee.” In another poem, “The Prisoner,” she offers lines that likely alarmed her elder sister, such as “Winds take a pensive tone, and stars a tender fire,/And visions rise, and change, that kill me with desire.” Later in the same poem: “Then dawns the Invisible; the Unseen its truth reveals;/My outward sense is gone, my inward essence feels:/Its wings are almost free — its home, its harbour found,/Measuring the gulf, it stoops and dares the final bound.” lthough Charlotte was as uneasy with the passion in Emily’s verse as she was with “the perverted passion” she saw in Wuthering Heights, she celebrates her sister’s fearless art in describing the manner of her death: “Never in all her life had she lingered over any task that lay before her, and she did not linger now. She sank rapidly. She made haste to leave us. Yet, while physically she perished, mentally she grew stronger than we had yet known her. Day by day, when I saw with what a front she met suffering, I looked on her with an anguish of wonder and love. I have seen nothing like it; but, indeed, I have never seen her parallel in anything. Stronger than a man, simpler than a child, her nature stood alone.”

Parashis Returns to Community Options

Angelique Rajski Parashis will return to Community Options as vice president of mission advancement. She previously worked for the organization from 2010 2012, as the director of special events and major gifts.

In that role, she was responsible for Cupid’s Chase 5K Run, and other special events, as well as securing funds to reach the organization’s fundraising goals.

“We are excited to welcome Angelique back to the Community Options family,” said Robert Stack, president and CEO of Community Options, a national nonprofit that provides residential

ment and intellectual disabilities. “She returns with tremendous experience in capital campaigns, major gifts, public relations, organizational management, and strategic development. I am very excited and confident in her abilities and business acumen, to drive our mission, ethics, and to work diligently.”

A New Jersey native, Parashis has nearly 20 years of f u ndraising and projec t management experience, mostly in the political world and nonprofit sector. Most recently, she has been successful in managing complex, nationwide, large-scale projects at the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE). Prior to her nonprofit experience, she served as chief of staff in the New Jersey State Assembly. In this role, she managed legislative matters with public policymaking efforts on local, state and federal levels.

“I am excited to be returning to work alongside my former colleagues at Community Options in this role to help support our most v ulnerable citizens,” she said. “I look forward to rolling up my sleeves to advance the mission of Community Options and to implement a successful operation.”

Volunteer Connect Launches BoardLabs Workshops

The New Jersey nonprofit VolunteerConnect is piloting a program for trustees looking to refresh their knowledge of the best practices of board governance. The program star ts Monday, September 24 with a session from 6 to 8 p.m. at The Nassau Club of Princeton.

“There is no degree in board governance. BoardLabs provides a deep dive into nonprofit governance issues and other topics that will help an organization achieve its goals,” said Dennis Kilfeather, CPA, Lear & Pannepacker, chairman of the board of VolunteerConnect, who will be leading the first of a series of four programs.

For 20 years, VolunteerConnect has been helping organizations to enhance their capacity by providing

Kilfeather. “Many board members aren’t clear about their roles and want to learn how to provide better support to their organizations.”

All courses are taught by subject experts. Three future sessions will take place at The Nassau Club. Visit volunteerconnectnj.org for more information.

School Matters

Rotary Club Partners With PTO to Promote Equity at JWMS The Princeton Rotary Club’s purchase of a copy of a book by YA author Jason Reynolds for each eighth-grader at John Witherspoon Middle School (JWMS) last year led to a rich unit in English and civics, and a learning experience in social justice.

The eighth-grade students examined issues of discrimination and bias to connect their reading with the eighth grade Rising Above presentation on race, and the JWMS PTO was instrumental in bringing Reynolds to the school for a discussion about his life and his books.

JWMS Principal Jason Burr praised the Rotary and the PTO “for helping to make a difference in the culture and climate” at JWMS. “As we strive to promote a culture that stands for equity and strives to be ‘color brave,’ I wanted to express my sincere thanks to the members of the Princeton Rotary Club and our PTO for helping us augment our studies of discrimination and bias with an unforgettable and moving reading experience,” said Burr.

Hun Student Aids School in Her Native Columbia Hun School senior Anna Massad is establishing a nonprofit, Educacion Sin Fronteras (Education Without Borders), to assist a grammar school in Colombia, where she was born.

Massad, who was adopted and brought to the United States as a baby, connected with the grammar school in Barranquilla last spring. She began Skyping with the school weekly to conduct science experiments and teach English.

She and her father, who is CEO of KB Corporate Finance, LLC in Princeton, visited the school in May and again in July. In addition to her teaching, she has secured for the school a more reliable internet connection and purchased two large-screen TVs to assist in instruction.

John Heffern Appointed President of Princeton Junior School Board John Heffern, principal and founder of KCA Equity Advisors, LLC in Princeton, has been appointed as president of the board of trustees of Princeton Junior School.

Prior to KCA, Heffern, a Lawrenceville native, was a managing partner at Chartwell Investment Partners, LLC in Berwyn, Pa. He is a member of the board of directors of First BanCorp (Puerto Rico).

the professional talent they need to get critical, strategic-level projects completed.

“We match skilled professionals looking for volunteer opportunities to nonprofits who need their professional skills,” said Amy Klein, executive director. “With BoardLabs, we are taking it a step further. Ongoing board training is vital to any organization’s growth and development.”

Kilfeather leads the first program, “Show Me the Money,” which will focus on fiscal education and how to add value to meetings and meet coming financial objectives. It is aimed at current board members with less than two years of experience, as well as longerserving trustees who want a formal reminder of the intricacies of their positions, and executive directors.

“These are hands-on workshops, not lecture-style classes. We have designed a READY FOR SCHOOL: Thanks to Princeton Human Services’ successful Book Bag Drive and the highly interactive format to donors who contributed, more than 170 children have school supplies and backpacks to put provide a customized experience for small groups,” says them in. The items are distributed to children from low-income families who attend Princeton Public Schools.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME: The ribbon was cut August 28 at a new home on Dorann Avenue for Community Options. Senator Kip Bateman, Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, and Mayor Liz Lempert were among those on hand to help resident Jack Lidstone, who has autism and ADHD and works at McCaffrey’s Food Market, do the honors. The four-bedroom home, which will provide special needs housing credits towards Princeton’s affordable housing plan, was acquired through a funding partnership with Princeton. The funding allowed Community Options to fully renovate the home to meet the needs of the residents.

The New Jersey Veterinary Medical Association (NJVMA) is now accepting nominations for the 24th A n n u a l A n i m a l H a l l of Fame. The NJVMA Animal Hall of Fame distinguishes itself as the preeminent award honoring the humananimal bond, a reflection of the personal relationship between animals and their owners, in the state of New Jersey.

“Just like t he w inners inducted into the Animal Hall of Fame, this award is unique. Unlike most, it does not honor the best in show or the most agile. It honors the extraordinary in the ordinary; the everyday animals and individuals who achieve s m a l l accompl is h m e nt s, with monumental results,” said Richard Alampi, executive director of the NJVMA.

“With the grand reopening of our newly-imagined first floor permanent galleries, more than 200 years of American stories are being told and shared at Morven,” said Jill Barry, Morven Museum & Garden’s executive director. “Morven tells a uniquely American story through the people that have walked through its halls.”

Morven’s Grand Reopening weekend is September 7- 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each “LAZIN’ AT NESHAMINY CREEK ON AN EARLY SUMMER DAY”: This photo by Paul Michael Bergeron day, at 55 Stockton Street, is the winner of the Delaware River Basin Commission’s (DRBC) Summer 2018 Photo Contest.

cluding one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, Richard Stockton; Robert Wood Johnson, Jr.; and five New Jersey governors. A museum since 2004, Morven has, until now, focused on the patriarchs who led on the national scene.

T he ex h ibit, “His tor ic Mor ven : A Window into America’s Past,” chronicles America’s history from the 18th through 20th centuries by telling the stories of those who helped shape it while living, working, and visiting this very special home. It is the first major reinterpretation of the museum’s permanent history galleries since Morven first opened as a museum.

“Our research in this endeavor spanned centuries while developing closer ties within our contemporar y communit y,” Barr y said.

“We collected oral histories from people who lived and worked at Morven, including Governor Byrne before he passed, to gain first-hand infor mat ion. We inv ited community members, notably those from the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, to help us envision the exhibition’s presentation, especially around the topic of slavery.”

Morven’s Curator of Collections and E xhibitions Elizabeth Allan, Registrar Jesse Gordon, museum interns, and volunteers pored

artifacts to develop the exhibition, learning many new facts to include in the narrative. Isometric Studios of Brooklyn, N.Y., designers of Morven’s award-winning 2015 Charles and A nne Morrow Lindbergh exhibition, developed and executed the exhibit concept and design.

“In addition to the beautiful new galleries, visitors to Morven this fall will see a renovated landscape featuring many new plantings, and historic garden displays designed to be enjoyed from both inside, and outside, of Morven. Horticulturist Pam Ruch and Garden Designer Peter Ham worked over the past year to create this more robust interpretation, melding the garden, historic home, and its grounds to create a more immersive and multifaceted visitor experience” Barry said.

Garden Tours will be held on September 7, 8, and 9 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. led

by Morven’s horticulturists and gardeners.

Blawenburg artist Alan Taback will be showing his paintings from this past spring and summer at the Blawenburg Café Gallery.

The opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Sunday, September 16 from 2-4 p.m. The Café is located at 391 Route 518 in Blawenburg.

The exhibit is entitled “Inspired by Love.” The initial inspiration for this body of work came from Taback’s love for his dog Harry, who passed away last year. The seascapes were inspired by his 58-year love affair with his wife, Louise.

“The pure, forgiving, unconditional love I experienced with Harry is the kind of love Louise and I have; and this is the kind of love that God has for us,” said Taback.

“My landscape paintings are always painted on location and I am primarily interested in the effect that light has on the colors and the shapes,” said Taback.

The exhibit runs through November 12. For more on Alan Taback, visit www.AlanTaback.com, email taback@ gmail.com, Facebook: Taback art, or call (609) 915-5420.

FAMILY DRAMA: Tony-wining musical “Fun Home” comes to Kelsey Theatre at Mercer County Community College September 21-30, with the lead character Alison at three life stages played by, from left, Dayley Katz, Katy Widmer, and Alexandra Rush.

In the sleepy town of Lock Haven, Pa., a family drama is being played out behind the doors of the local funeral home that will have life-changing impacts. Pierrot Productions presents the Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home at Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) Kelsey Theatre Fridays, September 21 and 28 at 8 p.m.; Saturdays, September 22 and 29 at 8 p.m.; and Sundays, September 23 and 30 at 2 p.m.

Kelsey Theatre is located on the college’s West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. A reception with the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on September. 21.

The play tells of a journey of self-discovery. The voice of the story is Alison, a successful comic artist who has reached cult status in her adult years. As she looks back on her childhood and her college years, she attempts to unlock mysteries about her unhappy parents, the gothic twists of growing up in the family funeral home, and her recognition of her homosexual identity.

CINEMA REVIEW

The Meg

Disgraced Navy Captain Seeks Redemption in Horror Film

F

ive years ago, Captain Jonas Taylor (Jason Statham) managed to save half his crew when his research submarine was crippled by a massive 75-foot-long shark (a megalodon) that was thought to be extinct. Because the Navy brass were skeptical about the existence of a megalodon, Taylor was dishonorably discharged and lost his career, and his wife, because he wasn’t able to save more members of his crew.

Ever since, he disappeared from public view, and was rumored to be drinking heavily in Thailand. That’s where former colleague, Dr. Minway Zhang (Winston Chao), found him after the prehistoric creature attacked again, and left another submersible sitting on the floor of the Pacific Ocean.

Dr. Zhang convinces Taylor to sober up and try to redeem his reputation, since he’s the only person alive who has ever successfully completed such a dangerous, deep sea operation. “I don’t dive anymore,” Taylor declares, but changes his mind when he learns that his ex-wife, Lori (Jessica McNamee), is piloting the damaged vessel.

That is the point of departure of The Meg, a horror film that is adapted from a novel by Steve Alten. However, the

movie is best described as a cross between Jaws (1975) and Jurassic Park (1993). The picture was directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure), who walks a fine line between lifting ideas from, and paying homage to, those two classic Spielberg movies.

Scene after scene feels vaguely familiar, like the one where a pet dog named Pippin is swallowed by the monster. In Jaws, a dog named Pippet disappears while playing fetch with his owner. Another scene is when the Meg flies out of the water and lands on the boat hunting it.

Where have I seen that before? You get the idea.

If you are willing to forgive such supposed tributes, or are too young to have seen the originals, the film does delivers a riveting roller coaster ride.

Excellent (HHH½). Rated PG-13 for action, peril, profanity and bloody images. Running time: 113 minutes.

Production Studios: Warner Brothers Pictures/Gravity Pictures/Maeday Productions/Flagship Entertainment Group/Apelles Entertainment/Di Bonaventura Pictures.

Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures.

Sparked by Junior Kennedy’s Breakthrough Tally, PU Women’s Soccer Tops St. Joe’s in Home Opener

T

omi Kennedy felt snakebitten last fall in her sophomore season with the Princeton University women’s soccer team.

While the forward/midfielder tallied four assists in helping Princeton win the Ivy League title and reach the NCAA quarterfinals, she never found the back of the net in the 2017 campaign “Last year was pretty frustrating, for sure. I think I hit the post more than anybody,” said Kennedy, a native of Glen Ridge, who scored three goals with an assist as a freshman in 2016.

It didn’t take long for Kennedy to put that frustration behind her last Friday evening as 20th-ranked Princeton hosted St. Joseph’s in its home opener.

Taking a pass from Abby Givens, Kennedy booted the ball past the St. Joe’s goalie to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead just 6:45 into the contest.

“Abby was playing the ball across and I saw it kind of going to Olivia Sheppard’s feet,” recalled Kennedy.

“I was hoping that it would keep going because you never know, so I took a touch and just saw an opening and it was ‘let me just slot it to the bottom right corner.’ It was really nice to have one work out they way I intended it to.”

Buoyed by a raucous home

crowd, Princeton produced a very nice performance, posting a convincing a 3-0 win over the previously undefeated Hawks.

“It was great to be back home. Last weekend was an unbelievable weekend for us in terms of soccer and team bonding,” said Kennedy, referring to the team’s season-opening trip to New England which saw it earn a 2-0 win at the University of New Hampshire followed by a 1-0 victory at Boston University.

“In terms of being back, nothing beats a home opener under the lights. The atmosphere was definitely leveraged for us and we capitalized on that.”

It has been great for Kennedy to play up front with senior star Mimi Asom, who scored two goals on the second half against St. Joseph’s and then added another tally two days later as the Tigers fell 3-1 to No. 13 N.C. State.

“Mimi is killing it so far.

Four goals in the first three games speaks for itself,” said Kennedy.

“She is always someone who will capitalize on opportunities and we can always rely on her in the final third and today she came up big just like she did last weekend, just like I know that she will in the coming games.”

Kennedy is excited with how Princeton’s new look

330 COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540

defense performed in starting the season with three clean sheets.

“We lost three defenders from last year,” said Kennedy. “We were a bit nervous coming in with a young back line. They have been clicking and doing unbelievably well for a team that hasn’t really played together. To have three shutouts is incredible and Natalie [Grossi] has been coming up big in goal.”

With Princeton saying goodbye to a stellar group of seniors who spearheaded last year’s squad, Kennedy and her fellow veterans needed to step up.

“That class had left such a stamp on the program across the board, they were so impactful,” said Kennedy.

“Although I knew we had a strong core, I was a bit nervous about how we would click after losing such good leadership. As you can see, it is turning out well. Underclassmen have been stepping up and the people with experience have been leveraging that.”

Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll was happy to see Kennedy make an early impact against St. Joseph’s.

“It was a great goal; Tomi has worked really, really hard,” said Driscoll.

“She is a very good player and it is good to see her get a goal and get her confidence up. I like the way she

played.”

Reflecting on the win over the Hawks, Driscoll liked the way his team responded to the home crowd.

“It was a good atmosphere; it is hard not to be excited when you have that many people cheering for you,” said Driscoll. “The girls were revved up. They played with a great amount of confidence and enthusiasm, and that is a really good team we beat.”

Princeton’s play at both ends was exciting to Driscoll.

“We did really well defending them; we didn’t allow any corner kicks,” said Driscoll.

“They have scored all seven of their goals this year on set pieces so they are very dangerous. They are very athletic, they are very physical. We negated that part of their game which was great.

We moved the ball well and we combined well. I thought everyone was engaged and focused.”

Asom showed her focus in the second half, tallying twice in a 6:53 span to put the game away for the Tigers.

“The set piece was great and then the finish on the second goal was wonderful,” said Driscoll. “She is leading by example and creating opportunities. I am happy for her.”

While Princeton didn’t have a good finish in the loss to N.C. State as it yielded two goals in the last 6:13 of the contest after goalie Grossi was red-carded, Driscoll saw the matchup as

It took the Princeton University field hockey team nearly 10 minutes to get its first shot as it faced North Carolina last Friday in its season opener.

Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente acknowledged that her 10th-ranked Tigers struggled at the outset against the second-ranked Tar Heels.

“It is a challenge to play a strong team straight off the bat, we didn’t have a lot of margin for error,” said Tagliente.

After shaking off some rust, Princeton produced some strong play and the game turned into a tense battle befitting a matchup of top-10 foes.

“Once we got through that first 10 minutes and settled in, I was pretty happy with how we played,” said Tagliente.

“We ended up controlling patches of the game; it was ebbs and flows for them and for us. It was a great game between two top teams. We had better opportunities.

We had a goal called off the board and we had one that was probably a stroke that wasn’t called.”

While the Tigers ended up falling 1-0 as the Tar Heels scored with 5:11 left in regulation and held off Princeton from there, Tagliente saw plenty of positives.

“Overall it was a good game, we did enough to win,” said Tagliente. “It is a team we will look forward to playing again in the postseason if we advance that far.”

Two days later, Princeton played a very good game, pulling away to a 4-0 win over No. 14 Wake Forest.

“We were all over them from the get-go; for the first 20 minutes it was transition to attack constantly,” said Tagliente, who team outshot the Demon Deacons 10-3 in the first half and 17-5 on the game.

“We just weren’t getting

anything to fall, which can be dangerous because we got opened up to some big defensive counters.”

In the last minute of the half, the Tigers got on the b oard t w ice w it h goa ls

by Sophia Tor net ta and MaryKate Neff.

“Right before we scored our goals, we had a big defensive corner stand, they hit the post and then Clara [Roth] broke open and created a great opportunity for Sophia,” said Tagliente.

“Then we got a second corner right after it for a second goal; that was a big difference right there going into the half.”

Buoyed by those goals, Princeton kept rolling in the second half.

“T hey d id a few n ice things, but then we broke out for a third goal and it was smooth sailing from there,” said Tagliente, who got goals from Roth and Jane Donio-Enscoe in the second half.

“I am pretty happy with the performance, it was a really dominant performance on both ends and some nice play across the board. It was not just one or two players, it was a collective effort from everyone.”

Tagliente was happy with the progress she saw from Friday to Sunday.

“We made some changes in overall possession and our outletting and what we were doing in the front third of the field with our attacking opportunities,” said Tagliente.

“I think we were surprised at times with how successful they were with Wake. We definitely grew on both sides of the ball and it was good to see that performance.”

Senior star Tornetta produced a superb performance in the win. “It was good to see her get in there on that goal; she had great positioning,” said Tagliente.

“She received it, shot it,

hit the goalie, it came out and she dove on the ball, shot it, and it went in. It was a great goal. I think a big confidence booster for her.

She was outstanding in the game.”

Tornetta’s running mate, sophomore Clara Roth, also had a great day, tallying a goal and one assist.

“Clara’s goal was outstanding; she had a great day running,” said Tagliente.

“Sophia and her play up front, but they post back into the midfield a bit so they both did a lot of damage receiving balls coming back.”

The Tigers face a busy week as they were slated to play No. 6 Penn State (2-0) on September 4 before hosting No. 3 Duke (3-1) on September 7 and playing at Rutgers (3-0) on September 9.

“We are packing in a lot of games here in a short amount of time. The positive thing is that we have a lot of depth on the lines, both up front and in the midfield,” said Tagliente.

“Penn State is going to be a challenge, Duke is going to be very challenging, and Rutgers is having a great season so far. I think the critical part right now is just our recovery, getting back and being fresh for Tuesday and then recovering again for the weekend.”

Featuring Talented Players All Over the Field, PHS Field Hockey Aiming to Become a Unit Overcoming a sluggish 0 -3 -1 star t last fall, the Princeton High field hockey team caught fire down the stretch, producing a spirited run to the Mercer County Tournament championship game.

As her squad has gone through its preseason training for the upcoming season, PHS head coach Heather Serverson senses the potential for more playoff heroics on the horizon.

CLEAR VISION: Princeton High field hockey player Lila Doran clears the ball in a game last fall.

Junior star defender Doran figures to be the leader of the PHS back line this fall. The Little Tigers open their 2018 campaign when they host Robbinsville on September 12.

“What I saw is how much talent we have all over the field,” said Serverson, reflecting on the team’s progress since getting practice underway in mid-August. “ We h av e s o m e s o l i d players who have received recognition, but I think the better we get at balancing out who we get the ball to, the better we are going to be. I have confidence that by the postseason, we will probably be one of the better teams in the area.”

S er verson is conf ident that senior forward Isabel Kinney can provide scoring punch.

“Isabel Kinney played up front last year; she is the one who scored the goal that put us over Allentown and into the county final,” said Serverson, whose te am fell to L aw rencev ille in the MCT title game and ended 2017 with a record of 10-7-2. “She is not flashy but she is consistent; that is what is good about her.”

PHS boasts a very good player who can produce from the middle of the field in senior Mariana LopezOna. “We are looking to Mariana in the midfield; she has a great shot on goal,” said Ser verson of Lopez- Ona, who will be ser ving as a team captain along w ith fellow seniors Kinney and the Mavoides sisters, Megan and Morgan.

Joining Lopez-Ona in the midf ield are t wo emerg ing stars, juniors Eleanor Wilkinson and Ava Greene.

“Ellie Wilkinson may have played in every second of our games last year; I would call her a key returner,” said Serverson.

“Ava Greene has really stepped up. She played a little bit of everything for us last year. She also plays a little of everything in club too; she is very versatile.”

On defense, junior Lila Doran has stepped into a leading role. “Lila is a key returner defensively; she has such a poise and consistency,” asserted Serverson.

“It is not something she even developed, it is something she has always had.

She is calm, deliberate, and can take in a lot of information and make the r ight decision. She does a really good job starting the counter attack. She is solid.”

Junior goalie Grace Cooke is giving the Little T igers s olid play in t he cage.

“Grace is very calm and composed; it is very, very hard to rattle her, which is a great quality to have in a goalie,” said Serverson.

“She is steady and is learning to communicate better.

She is very athletic. I think she had the highest fitness scores of anybody on the team.”

In Serverson’s view, playing as a team is the main focus as PHS heads into the season.

“They need to learn that we have talent all over the field and that we need to play as a unit,” said Serverson, whose squad hosts Robbinsville on September 12 in its opening game.

“We are still trying to figure that path out right now, where they want to play on the field and what not. As soon as we learn to rely on each other, that will be key to our success.”

Get the scoop from

A s t he P r inceton Day School girls’ soccer team heads into the 2018 season, it faces some big challenges.

First, the squad suffered a major loss with the graduation of senior star de fenders and team leaders Madi Coyne and Rebecca Kuzmicz.

“We are still trying to figure out how we are going to fill that void,” said PDS head coach Pat Trombetta, who led the Panthers to a 12-6-1 record in 2017 and its fifth straight state Prep B title. “We might have some new faces in the back that have not been tested.”

In addition, the Panthers will be tested by a gauntlet of formidable foes. “I see this as probably the most challenging schedule we have had in my 12 years,” said Trombetta. “We have added schools like Pingry, Lenape, and Princeton High.”

The Panthers will need to keep their heads as they deal with such high-powered opponents.

“One of the keys to our success is how we deal with adversity,” said Trombetta.

“We are going to face it during the season with our schedule and overall. We have somewhat of a quiet team; we are looking for some vocal leadership on the field.”

PDS features players who can make noise at forward in sophomores Ariana Jones and Kelly Beal along with senior Brooke Smukler.

“Ariana had a great second half of the season so we are hoping that she gets off to a quick start this year,” said Trombetta.

“Kelly Beal was our leading scorer last year; she has the explosiveness that you are looking for in an attacking player. Brooke Smukler is coming into her senior year in the best shape I have seen here. I see a determination, she made a complete commitment to her fitness over her summer and has come to preseason in top shape.”

In the center of the midfield, the Panthers will be depending on a trio of determined performers.

“We are going to be looking at Jules Romano, who had a solid season last year as a freshman,” said Trombetta.

“Brianna Astbury is back for her third season. Freshman Ali Surace has been a tremendous surprise. She has a very, very good work rate and it rubs off on other players. I think she is going to be a special player for us.”

Sophomores Sophia Miranda and Tulsi Pari could be moving up the field this year from the back line.

“Sophia and Tulsi were lock-down outside defenders for us last year,” said Trombetta. “They are so

explosive with the ball at their feet as well; we might use them in different roles this year.”

On defense, Kelsey Lane will be playing a key role.

“Kelsey is a senior and I expect her to be the leader in the back,” said Trombetta.

“She will have Anna Ellwood, a sophomore, on one side of her and then another freshman, Ariana’s sister, Cailyn Jones, is a promising player too.”

Junior Riley Felsher made progress last fall as she took over at goalie for star Grace Barbara, now playing for the Princeton University women’s soccer squad.

“Riley will be our starting keeper; filling Grace’s shoes was a big thing for her,” said Trombetta.

“She showed up in tournament time. She showed up in the Steinert game in the counties. She had two or three shutouts in the preps; it was 0-0 in the final.”

Trombetta, for his part, believes the Panthers can be a force again by tournament time.

“We are seeing progress in each scrimmage, which is positive,” said Trombetta.

“We are excited. It is an energetic, talented team. It is a matter of playing a little differently this year because we don’t have the size from last year.”

Led by Trio of Battle-Tested Senior Stars, PDS Field Hockey Aiming for Title Run Since arriving as freshmen in 2015, the trio of Gwen Allen, Val Radvany, and Sasha Sindhwani has played a key role in transforming the Princeton Day School field hockey team into a powerhouse.

In their sophomore year, they starred as PDS won the state Prep B title and advanced to the final of the Mercer County Tournament.

Last fall, they helped the Panthers make it to a second straight Prep B championship game where they fell in overtime.

As the triumvirate heads into their final high school campaign, PDS head coach Heather Farlow is hoping they will go out in a blaze of glory.

“I have got my three seniors, Sasha, Gwen and Val; this will be their fourth year on varsity, so we are hoping that they continue to make a huge impact,” said Farlow, whose team posted a 12-6 final record in 2017.

Sindhwani made a big impact on the forward line last fall, emerging as one of the top scorers in the area with a team-high 24 goals.

“Sasha is looking great,” said Farlow, noting that junior Julia Lach will also be at striker. “She is going to be a key piece of our offense.”

Allen and Michigan Statebound Radvany will be the key pieces in the midfield.

“They play really well together, they are going to have to be playmakers,” said Farlow, noting that junior Skye Mundenar will also see time in the midfield. “They are going to have to direct some of the younger players.”

Junior Caroline Haggerty is primed to direct things on the back line this fall.

“Caroline is steady. She really works hard in the of fseason on her game, she plays club outside of school,” said Farlow. “She is a hard, hard worker across the board, academically as well. She is a smart player, she keeps it simple. We will look for her to distribute to other back and anchor our defense.”

At goalie, another steady

“She is looking good; she did a lot of indoors stuff with her X-Calibur club this past year,” said Farlow. “She played outdoors and she did a lot this summer.”

Stung by ending last season with the overtime 2-1 defeat to Montclair Kimberley in the Prep B championship game, PDS is bringing a hunger into 2018.

“It is something that we have talked about; losing is a better a teacher than I will ever be,” said Farlow.

them didn’t realize that it was still going to be hard.

We took it all the way to overtime in the final. If we can keep everybody healthy, that is the goal.”

In oder to achieve its goals, PDS will need its three senior stars to set the tone.

“It is just having the veteran players step up, lead, and recognizing their role and their significance of being playmakers and almost training the younger players and bringing them through the process,” said Farlow.

“We are going to have to play some folks that haven’t had experience, that is just a fact. We are excited to see if we can achieve some of our goals; we are looking forward to it.”

PDS Girls’ Soccer Facing Major Challenges But Has Energy, Skill to Maintain Winning Ways

TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 2018 • 34

Already Displaying a Good Team Chemistry, Hun Boys’ Soccer Primed for 2018 Campaign The Hun School boys’ soccer team doesn’t boast any big stars, but Pat Quirk believes that is a good thing.

“The mood right now is very excited with a really good team chemistry,” said Hu n head coach Qu irk, whose squad posted a 3-13 record last fall.

“There are no big egos and no kids are trying to put themselves ahead of other kids. They are just working hard for each other.”

Hu n has been get t ing good work at forward from junior Luke McManimon and sophomore newcomer Amar Anand.

“They are two bigger guys, both over six feet tall and broad shouldered,” said Quirk, whose team gets regular season action underway when it plays at the Academy of New Church (Pa.) on September 7.

“They can really hold up defenders, they are good target guys. They came into camp really fit, their pace is really nice. They both have a good vision of the game.

They could be a one-two punch or play up there by themselves one at time if we just play with one striker.”

Senior Elijah Smarr has emerged as the engine of the midfield and a team leader.

“We made him a captain last year as a junior because we saw a lot of great qualities in him as a leader and as somebody who puts the team before him,” said Quirk, who will also be using juniors Tishe Olaleye and Gibson Campbell in the central midfield.

“He has really continued that through the offseason and into the preseason. I think he is going to be a guy, along with those other two, who are really going to control the midfield for a lot of the games. We have seen that so far in the first two scrimmages.”

Quirk is considering a number of options on the flank.

“We are looking at a lot of different guys on the outside,” said Quirk. “Seniors Zack Wellman and Ronak

Pandya have started in the two scrimmages but we have another senior, Sebastian L aw rence, who may see some time out there and some freshmen like John Balian, Jack Tarzy or Lucas Mazzoni.”

In the middle of the back line, junior Brian Spencer is poised for a big season.

“Brian has made a huge step up at center back,” asserted Quirk, who also has senior Andre Balian playing at center back.

“He has been play ing since his freshman year, but this jump from his sophomore year to junior year has been pretty incredible.

He has been able to control the back and is really working on positioning with everybody.”

Junior star James Muldowney figures to give Hun some good work at back.

“James Muldowney is on the outside; he led us in assists last year and he is the guy that gets very dangerous from the back,” said Quirk, noting that senior Joey Licitra and freshman Tarzy may also see time at outside back.

“We may look to see if we can move him up to the wing because of how dangerous he is, but he does very well in the back as a one-on-one defender.”

At goalie, senior Coleman Chiurco is primed to step into the starting role.

“Coleman Chiurco was the back-up last year, he saw a couple of minutes in games,” said Quirk.

“He has been working extra hard with our goalie coach from the end of last season to now and has really improved his game and his communication in the back.”

In Quirk’s view, paying attention to the present and team unity are factors that could lead to a good season for the Raiders.

“What we have been talking about is just focusing on one day at a time; don’t be content with what we did yesterday and don’t be content where we are,” said Quirk.

“We had two pretty good results in out first two preseason scrimmages. They know that it is going to get tougher. We play in a really tough league, we play in a really tough county. Another big key for us our team chemistry: we need to rely on team over individuals. It looks like they are headed down that road right now.”

Featuring Key Veterans, Promising Newcomers, Hun Girls’ Soccer Focused on Getting in Synch While Joanna Hallac is excited to add a big freshman group to the Hun School girls’ soccer program this fall, she knows it is going to take time for the squad to mesh.

“We have about 13 freshmen, it is giving us numbers that we haven’t had in a while,” said Hallac, who guided the Raiders to a 10-7 record last fall as the win the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title and made it to the state Prep A final.

“There is excitement and energy with the team. The young players are still trying to figure some things out and get used to the speed of play and the physicality of this level. It is figuring out what combination is going to be best on the field; we are still tinkering with that a little bit.”

Hun boasts a good combination at forward in senior Bryonna “Breezy” Worthy, senior Kobi Iheoma, and freshman Olivia D’Aulerio.

“Breezy is back and she has been looking really good in the preseason, she has improved a lot,” said Hallac.

“I am excited about the way she is playing. Kobi has been our manager the last couple of years but she is a decent forward. She has good size and can offer Breezy a little reprieve here and there. Her size is really going to be an advantage for us. Olivia D’Aulerio is solid player; her speed is her biggest threat so having her either on the flank or up top can be a nice option.”

Junior standout Nicole Angelini figures to be a scoring threat from the top of the midfield.

“Nicole looks amazing; she has always been an important piece for us,” said Hallac, noting that Angelini helped her Player Development Academy (PDA) South ’02 NPL 16-U girls’ club squad win its age group at the US Club Soccer NPL

National Championship this summer.

“She is looking incredibly improved, even more than she was last year. The thing I have been most impressed with is her leadership. In terms of our field players, she has definitely taken the bull by the horns and has really been a leader out there for us.”

Joining Angelini in the midfield are two promising newcomers in junior transfer Ally Cowan and freshman Kiki Mauer.

“I feel like we really lucked out getting Ally. She has really good athleticism, speed, and sees the field well,” said Hallac, noting that Cowan’s brother, Devon, is a star for the Hun boys’ lacrosse team.

“She is really a nice addition. She seems comfortable in a lot of places, which is great. Kiki Mauer has been great. She is a really good technical player and seems to understand the game well. She is learning the system and adapting to the speed of play, but I think she is definitely going to be an important piece for us as well.”

On the back line, seniors Brenna Wehner and Olivia McNulty will be two important players for the Raiders.

“Brenna was a difference maker for us last year, she is really tough and works her tail off back there,” said Hallac.

“She is a vocal leader on the field; she gets the game and gets the position and helps the other younger players back there. She is real solid, real dependable.

Liv McNulty is one of our cocaptains and she has been looking good. She has been playing outside back and she has been stepping up. She is a natural leader. The kids really respect her and she has a great work rate.”

Battle-tested senior goalie Leah Sutphen is a formidable last line of defense for

the Raiders “Leah could be the most important part of the team; it is a team, everyone plays their role and everyone is important,” said Hallac.

“Her ability to keep us in a game, to come up with an extraordinary save and to be that dependable rock back there gives the rest of the girls the confidence to keep playing, keep improving, and not get down on themselves if things aren’t exactly going our way. She is a game changer.”

As Hallac works the young players into the mix, she is confident that team will get in synch as the fall unfolds.

“Everyone is a good individual soccer player, but we still have to find that rhythm,” said Hallac, whose team kicks off its 2018 campaign by playing at Ewing on September 8.

“We are getting there. The younger players are starting to get things more; they are starting to understand the system a little more and the older players are getting used to playing them. It is all about peaking at the right time; I think we are poised to do that.”

Acknowledging that there could be bumps in the road early on, Hallac is looking for her players to keep their heads up and stay in the moment.

“One of the keys is keeping a positive attitude. If we don’t find the early success that we had last year, we have got to find a way to stay positive,” said Hallac.

“As long as we are improving, as long as we are getting better every time we step in the field, that is success to me. If we are doing all of the little things right, if we are focused on them and disciplined about them, the big things like wins and goals will come.”

Youth will be served this fall for the Stuart Country Day field hockey team.

“We have 10 freshmen ou t cou pl e d w it h e ig ht sophomores,” said Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik, who guided the Tartans to a 9-10-1 record last fall and the state Prep B semifinals.

“The freshmen are committed to the game. We have some kids that are playing club and it is clear in their stick work and their field sense and the kind of dy-

namic that they have already brought.”

Dynamic senior Priscilla Francois will be anchoring the back line. “Priscilla has been so versatile for three years; she is filling our center back position right now,” said Bruvik, whose defensive unit will also include seniors Breasia Williams, Bey-Shana Clark, and Millie Brigaud along with freshman Adrianna Palmer.

“We have moved her off the forward line. We are

utilizing her speed and her leadership skills to help control the backfield and help our midfielders.”

At goalie, Stuart will be featuring two of its young players to fill the void left by graduated senior star Sam Johnson.

“We have two brand new keepers; we have a freshman, Audrey Blandford, who is in the futures program,” said Bruvik.

“Janiah Adams, a sophomore, has stepped up to also help and play some goalie for us. She never played it before but is clearly very coachable.”

In the midfield, junior Caroline Mullen has been

stepping up for the Tartans.

“Caroline Mullen is just seeing the field beautifully; she is controlling the midfield for us right now and doing a great job, finding her teammates and finishing,” said Bruvik, noting that a pair of freshmen, Kaitlyn Magnani and Anna Gill, are also standing out in midfield. “She has taken her game to a new level this summer.”

Along the forward line, Br uvik has a number of options including seniors Meghan Leibowitz, Lauren Magnani, Maria McBride, and Emma Shaw along with junior Aditi Mehendiratta, sophomores Catherine Martin, Molly Lagay, and Hailey Hawes and freshmen Molly Shore, Haley Sullivan, and Caroline Johnson.

“On the line, it is probably going to be a rotation; I think all of these kids are really capable of finishing,” said Bruvik.

“We have to find the right combination that works well.

I think we are going to have a lot more options on our offense. With the experience in the backfield this year and the dynamics of the midfield, they are able to push through more. We are going to have more shots and create opportunities in the circle.”

While Bruvik knows she will have to show patience as the young players are incorporated into the rotation, the Tartans appear to be coming together quickly.

“We have a lot of young players with a lot of versatility, so finding where are they going to best help the

team is going to be a key,” said Bruvik.

“I think we are starting to make it happen. We went down to Stone Ridge (Md.) and Holton Arms (Md.) for scrimmages and we played them tough. Clearly it takes time to create the chemistry but I am really pleased with the chemistry of this team so far. Sometimes it happens sooner rather than later and I feel like it’s happening sooner with the communication on the field. There has been better communication off the field with these kids, and that is important.”

Helene Cody 5k Race Set for September 8

The 10th Annual Helene Cody 5-kilometer race and 1-Mile Fun Run is taking place on September 8, starting near the Cranbury Fire Department at 2 South Main Street in Cranbury.

The fun run begins at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K starts at 9 a.m. The 5K is chip-timed and USATF-certified with water stations and musical performers throughout the course.

The post-race celebration at the Cranbury Fire Department features a DJ, drinks, bagels, fruit, and free massages. Trophies will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers overall and in each age group for the 5K. Every Fun Run finisher will receive a medal and trophies will be awarded to the top three boys and girls. The Cranbury Day celebration will begin immediately after the race on Main Street.

This event is the main fundraiser for the Helene Cody Foundation, whose mission is to inspire youth to volunteer to better their communities and themselves.

Prior to her death in 2008, Helene Cody, a Princeton High student, planned to revive the Cranbur y Day 5K, a community event that had been discontinued in 2006, as a way to combine her love of distance running and community service for her Girl Scout gold award project. When she passed away, a classmate organized the first Helene Cody Cranbury 5K in memory of Helene for his Eagle Scout project. Every year since, the Helene Cody Foundation has used the event to bring the community together and use the proceeds to sponsor youth service projects and provide scholarships. All proceeds go directly to the Helene Cody Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity.

Fleury Velie Mackie Fleur y Velie Mackie, a generous, humorous, and caring member of the Princeton community for over 65 years, died peacefully early in the morning of August 26.

She was a loving mother and stepmother to her four daughters and her four stepchildren. Fleury helped hundreds of people in the Princeton/Trenton area with her philanthropic involvement.

At various times in her life, she committed her time and resources to the following organizations: HiTops, the New Jersey State Museum, HomeFront, Princeton University Art Museum, Morven, and others. Her legendary parties were often created to benefit local causes.

Besides her monetary contributions, she was always eager to give her time and talent to community causes, such as Family Born where she assisted births, and was both a volunteer and fundraiser for the Princeton Hospital.

S h e o p e r a te d w i t h a unique combination of humor, compassion, honesty, practicality, and discretion.

Looking for a house with something for everyone? Well, look no further! You are invited to make an appointment to see 29 Caroline Drive in Hopewell — a special house on an exquisite lot.

Professionally-designed landscaping featuring lovely beds and mature plantings complements this house, which is situated on one of the loveliest lots in Hopewell Hunt. Elegant brick facade has architectural elements like a Palladian window above the front door, and quoins which accent the corners, emphasizing the shutters and large paned windows. Wonderful paver path curves up to the front door, and once you are inside, the volume-ceilinged entry sets the tone. On your immediate left, the study has French doors for privacy, and custom shelves for convenience.

Doubling as a library, it is easy to envision curling up with a good book, or listening to some music. The living room, with floor to ceiling windows and custom moulding, and the formal dining room, with bow window, set the stage for elegant entertaining, with gleaming oak floors and lots of light. Family gatherings most likely will revolve around the kitchen, with its quality wood cabinets and generous breakfast area. Wood floors are found in the kitchen, as well. But it’s the family room that is the jewel on the crown. Two stories high, with a floor-to-ceiling natural stone fireplace, and an entire rear wall of windows, this room might turn out to be the heart of the house. With a second staircase to the bedroom floor, and adjacent to the kitchen, there is easy access to the beautifully planned and executed backyard. When entertaining, simply consider the gorgeous wood deck an extension of the family room! This deck leads to a charming gazebo — gingerbread and all! $875,000

From the slate entry, to the large family room, to the eat-in kitchen, this is one great house. Backing to open space, you can see forever, whether it is a clear day or a winter wonderland. Formal living room and dining room have pocket doors — a cute and useful feature — and both rooms are so spacious! Oak floors, lots of windows, and family room with fireplace and brick accent wall create a lovely place in which to live. Sliding doors open from both the dining room and family room directly to the large deck and custom paver terrace. Four bedrooms are on the second level, with the MBR ensuite, of course. In addition to the whole house generator, new central air conditioning, and state-of-the-art security system, South Brunswick’s popular Cambridge Elementary School serves this lovely bike-riding neighborhood. $540,000
