The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is holding two “scoping” hearings regarding the Williams Transco company’s newest pipeline proposal, which includes a compressor station in the Trap Rock Quarry in South Brunswick, 3.5 miles of pipe in Old Bridge and Sayreville, and 22 miles under the Raritan Bay. The hearings, which are being held September 7 at the George Bush Senior Center in Old Bridge and September 15 at the Franklin Township Community Senior Center, each from 5 to 9 p.m., are designed to allow people to express concerns to FERC about proposed projects. But one South Brunswick resident said that with some 500 people expected to attend the September 15 gathering, it isn’t likely that all will get to air their worries about effects of the proposed project. “If you do the math at three to four minutes allowed per person, that will only allow about 60 people to comment,” said Jeremy Pollack, who lives in Princeton Walk. “There is a lot of concern because there is a reasonably high-density residential area here.” The pipeline is proposed to take gas from the existing Transco Leidy Loop in central New Jersey out to Long Island. “This project will cut a scar across central New Jersey and the Raritan Bay and should be rejected,” said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. It “would not benefit New Jersey in any way and we will not be getting any gas from it. Instead, we will see nothing but environmental effects including loss of open space and polluting of our bays.” According to Williams spokesman Chris Stockton, the Oklahoma-based company, which has had a natural gas pipeline on the Trap Rock property since the 1960s, is currently in the process of narrowing down proposed sites for the compressor station from two possibilities to one and hopes to make a decision in October. Meanwhile, residents who live near Trap Rock, an active blasting site, are worried about noise, toxins, explosions, potential property devaluation, and more. “It just shouldn’t be built here,” Mr. Pollack said. “Williams has a record of many accidents, and this is an inherently dangerous thing. They try their best to make it safe, but as they say, stuff happens. It’s not a question of if something is going to happen here, but when.” Continued on Page 4

Step One of YMCA Project Nears Completion

The Princeton Family YMCA on Paul Robeson Place is just six weeks away from completing the first step in a threepart “refresh” project designed to brighten up several key facets of their facility, to use their space to the greatest advantage, and to bring the building into the 21st century. Scheduled for opening in time for their October 22 Centennial Awards Event, step one construction, at the entrance to the YMCA’s Athletic Building, will include extensive modernization of the lobby area, the child watch area, offices, and the women’s locker room, with updated heating and cooling facilities. The second step, slated for early next year, will provide much-needed space for the martial arts and fencing programs by removing walls, adding windows, and putting in a new floor to create two levels in what used to be a racquetball court. And for the third step, by the end of next summer, the YMCA will be upgrading its pool, which is in solid condition, but needs updating with new lighting, new windows, and a dehumidifier. Designed by Schmitt Anderson Architects of Metuchen, the construction work is being carried out by V.J. Scozzari & Sons of Pennington.

“We’re long overdue,” said YMCA head Kate Bech. She explained the need to renovate the facility so that “folks can feel proud of this Y, proud of their community. We want to have a facility that everyone wants to belong to. You have to invest in a building to make that happen. We know that the building has been benignly neglected for a long time.” Constructed in 1958 and renovated in the early 1970s, the Athletic Building saw no facilities upgrades in the ensuing 40 years, until three years ago, its first “shot in the arm,” according to Ms. Bech, came in the form of renovations to its Fitzpatrick

Wellness Center, which was transformed with new equipment and a new design into an up-to-date, family-oriented workout center. About a year ago the YMCA Board agreed that the building was long overdue for renovation and committed to the three-step refresh effort. Financing for the project, estimated at $1.2 to $1.3 million, is so far taking place through private donations, with about $540,000 raised, largely through contributions from Board members themselves.

Planning Princeton’s First Welcoming Week Has Brought Together Numerous Volunteers From September 16 to 25, the volunteers who have been helping plan Princeton’s first official Welcoming Week will finally see their summer-long efforts materialize. Princeton High School junior Leah Williamson, senior Luis Estrada, and Rutgers University senior Melissa Urias are among those who have been hard at work on this series of events, designed to bring together immigrants and U.S.-born residents and promote a spirit of unity between cultures.

The ten-day celebration is a collaboration of Human Services, the Princeton Public Library, and the Historical Society of Princeton. The town is among the more than 80 communities that are part of the national organization Welcoming America, sponsor of similar events around the country during the same time frame. There will be an information table at the Princeton Farmer’s Market on Hinds Plaza September 15. The highlight of the Continued on Page10

Mr. Stockton said in an email that safety is the most important aspect of Williams’ operations. “As we design the proposed compressor facility, we intend to apply industryleading standards to ensure that the safety of the facility, our employees and the community remain paramount,” he wrote. “With regard to the facility’s proximity to Trap Rock, we are aware of this concern and plan to conduct a comprehensive engineering analysis to determine if this activity would have any measurable impact on normal facility operations.” Operating pipeline facilities near a rock quarry “is not unusual,” he added. “The existing Transco pipeline has operated in the area for decades without incident. While we do not anticipate that the quarry’s proximity will create a potential hazard for the facility, we do plan to study the issue and the results of our engineering analysis will be used to effectively mitigate any potential issues in the station’s final engineering design.” Until a location is decided, the company “will continue to work with local municipal authorities to keep them informed as the project advances,” Mr. Stockton said. “However, ultimately the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has exclusive regulatory jurisdiction over Williams with respect to the siting of pipeline facilities under the Natural Gas Act and the Pipeline Safety Act.” Scoping meetings are held to define and refine the scope of an environmental impact statement or environmental assessment, and the alternatives to be investigated. The deadline for filing public comments with FERC is September 23. Several citizen groups have organized to address the possibility of the compressor station being built in Trap Rock Quarry. —Anne Levin

PADDLING THROUGH MONET’S GARDEN: Kelsey Kane-Ritsch, recipient of a fellowship that has landed her at Princeton’s D&R Greenway, will use her experiences working at the famous garden at Giverny and other far-flung locations to encourage stewardship of the environment during the one-year program.

Kelsey Kane-Ritsch has worked on environmental issues in different corners of the globe. She helped develop a curriculum on biodiversity in Kenya, worked with tribal elders and conser vation groups in New Caledonia, and focused on invasive species management at Monet’s Garden at

Giverny, France — all during her four years at Princeton University, from which she graduated in May having majored in anthropology with minors in environmental studies and French.

TOPICS Of the Town

Ms. Kane-Ritsch is back in Princeton this year as an intern for the D&R Greenway Land Trust. As the Charles Evans Future Conservation Leader, she is the recipient of a fellowship that charges her with raising awareness of stewardship of lands and waterways. Specifically, she is working on two new apps for the Abbott Marshlands near Trenton and planning River Days, a series of events linking a network of 23 nature centers in the Delaware River watershed. “These are exciting projects,” she said during a telephone conversation last week. “The main thing is River Days, where we’re putting together events through the end of October, all trying to highlight the importance of the watershed and the stewardship actions people can take.” D&R Greenway partnered with Mercer County to establish the Tulpehaking Nature Center, which is where Ms. Kane-Ritsch will work melissa.bilyeu@ on the two apps for Abbott Marshlands. She is espewitherspoonmediagroup.com cially enthused about creating a self-guided tour along a canoe trail. “It has to do with the connection between the D&R Greenway and the nature center, and it focuses on birds, animals, and the marsh.

She also danced with the University’s Body Hype troupe and still takes classes at Princeton Ballet School. But environmental issues are her focus for the future. “This fellowship gives me the opportunity to get some good work experience in the nonprofit field,” she said. “I definitely want to keep working in the environmental field, but I’m not sure yet of the path I’m going to take.” It was after her freshman year that Ms. Kane-Ritsch traveled to Kenya through the Princeton Environmental Institute to help develop

New Intern Continued from Preceding Page

READY TO READ: Maxine Finger, shown here with Quinton and Ava at Littlebrook School, is one of the more than 100 members of the Princeton Senior Resource Center’s popular GrandPals program, which takes adult volunteers into the Princeton Public Schools to help promote a love of learning. On Wednesday, September 21 at 10:30 a.m. in the Suzanne Patterson Building at 45 Stockton Street, volunteers will gather to learn about the program and sign up to read to children every week. GrandPals, celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, encourages intergenerational friendships and pairs volunteers with one to two children for the year. You don’t have to be a grandparent to participate; just 50 or older. To register, call Olivian Boon at (609) 924-7108.

FARM-FRIENDLY: Weidel Real Estate recently celebrated its 13th annual “Bring the Farm to the People” corn harvest at the Weidel Family Farm in Pennington. Volunteers harvested and delivered corn to local food banks, area shelters, and businesses in the surrounding area including Farmers Against Hunger, Rolling Havest Food Rescue, HomeFront, and the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. “For the past 100 years, Weidel has been committed to giving back to continue strengthening our communities,” says Richard Weidel III, Executive Vice President. “Providing fresh corn to people throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania is just one way we can help to make a difference in the areas we proudly serve.”

a curriculum and teach in after-school programs of 10 elementar y and high schools. “It was an incredible experience and taught me about env ironmental conservation,” she said. “I would say one of the things that hit me the most and caused me to major in anthropology was seeing how local people interacted with their environment. It really drove home the fact that it is always a learning experience, and really important to not just look at the scientific parts, but at the culture as well. I followed that through my Princeton career.” Ms. Kane-Ritsch’s summer internship at Monet’s Garden at Giverny came via the University’s Princeton in France program. “I got so lucky with summer internships,” she said. “They send a certain number of students to language immersion internships, and I told them I was interested in the environment. So they sent me there. What a great intersection of my love of the arts and the environment. Also, it was really fun. I worked as a gardener, and even got called on sometimes to direct people and tell them a little bit about Monet.” The New Caledonia experience came just before Ms. Kane-Ritsch’s senior year, and was the topic of her thesis. “My parents thought I was insane,” she said with a laugh. “But it was incredible. I applied for research funding from Princeton and set up an internship for myself. I chose that because I was doing research into areas with environmental and cultural interaction. The tribes in the northern part of the island had a very close line between the two. I worked with a local environmental group run by these tribes, looking at how to combine their traditional knowledge with western knowledge. I also got to work with teachers in the schools to try to get some more programs with the elders because that was something being lost with the modernization of the area.” Ms. Kane-Ritsch said she was amazed to find out that 20,000 acres in central New Jersey have been preserved. “I’m really looking forward to these projects I’ll be working on,” she said. “And it’s nice to be spending time back here in Princeton.” Of the partnership with D & R Greenway, AlumniCorps executive director Andrew Nurkin said in a statement, “We are thrilled to match a thoughtful, energetic student with D&R Greenway Land Trust, which has a wonderful record of preserving and caring for land right here in our back yard. This kind of connection is what AlumniCorps is all about.” —Anne Levin

Question of the Week:

“What subjects are you looking forward to studying at Princeton this year?” (Asked on the Princeton University campus) (Photographs by Emily Reeves)

“I’m interested in studying economics and international relations. I’m most interested this semester in studying macro-economics so I can get a solid foundation. Also, I am interested in a freshman seminar called Princeton slavery and historical analysis, where we get to see Princeton’s history with African Americans, with slaves, slaveowners, and their descendants. We’ll basically dig into archives of the university and see what Princeton can do to address its involvement with the entire process. And then we’re going to work with documentarist Melvin McCray to create a website detailing all of this.” —Tania Bore, Kenya (living in Texas past 4 years), Class of 2020

Melissa: “I’m studying economics and I’m really excited about doing work with monetary policy and with the Federal Reserve Challenge Club. There are some awesome monetary policy professors here so I’m really excited to work with them.” Lexi: “I’m a psychology major and am taking foundations of entrepreneurship, which I think will be a very cool course.” —Melissa Reed, Palo Alto (left) and Lexi Quirk, Boston, both Class of 2018

Rio was not the only spot on the globe for Olympian accomplishments and impressive displays of gold medals this past summer. In Hong Kong at the 57th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the United States team won first place for the second straight year — and Junyao (Peter) Peng), a senior at Princeton International School of Mathematics and Science (PRISMS) was one of six members of the U.S. team. The world’s most prestigious high school math competition, the IMO hosted teams from more than 100 countries. Over a three-day period in early July, the 602 student competitors in Hong Kong worked individually to solve math problems. The individual scores were com-

bined to make up the team total, and the U.S. scored highest with 214 points out of a possible 252, ahead of South Korea in second place (207) and China third (204). “Peter has a keen interest in math,” said Joseph Li, Peter’s teacher and head of the math department at PRISMS. “In fact he is interested in everything about numbers and logic: puzzles. mathematical journals, card games, etc. Peter has already begun to do math research like an undergraduate.” Marilee Jones, PRISMS assistant principal, described Peter as “a big math talent and a wonderful kid,” and Mr. Li emphasized Peter’s range of attributes, “Peter has a lot of interests other than math. He likes playing soccer and

It was founded in 2013, with its first graduating class of 18 last June. Founded on the concept of combining principles of China’s STEM education and America’s STEM education, PRISMS emphasizes the research process and the acquisition of research skills, such as open-minded inquiry, problem-solving, innovation, intellectual honesty, and risktaking. Urging others to follow Peter’s example, Mr. Li said, “I have found a lot of talent in New Jersey, especially around Princeton. I have met many students in this area who are very clever and good at math. My suggestion to these kids is: consider math as a game, find more fun in math, challenge yourself and you will find that fun.” —Donald Gilpin

NJ Heart and Stroke Patients research suggests as many Can Access Support Network as 30–50 percent of stroke

After a heart attack or stroke, following the doctor’s orders is important for physical recovery, but emotional support is just as important for cardiac and stroke survivors. The American Heart Association and A mer ican Stroke Association offers an online support network to help heart and stroke patients, as well as their families and caregivers. Like a conventional support group, the support network connects patients who are going through similar journeys. The monitored network also gives individuals access to experts via online chats and webinars, as well as personal insights from fellow survivors and caregivers. It’s common for people to feel depressed, isolated, and overwhelmed after having a heart attack or stroke. About 85.6 million Americans are living with some form of cardiovascular disease or the after-effects of stroke, and

survivors develop depression in the early or later phases after a stroke. “Emotional support is extremely important to recovering patients and caregivers,” asserts Stacy Quinn, a transient ischemic attack survivor and volunteer for the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association. “Feeling alone and becoming depressed are common after a heart attack or stroke. Interacting and connecting with others who have been through the same thing can help ease those feelings.” The support network is a place to ask questions, find helpful information and tips, and share concerns or fears. The network also provides information and materials for starting face-to-face community-based support groups and resources for healthier living.

BOOK REVIEW

On Queen Elizabeth’s Birthday Shakespeare Has Room for Everyone, Including Gene Wilder I’m an actor, not a clown. —Gene Wilder (1933-2016) ene Wilder made his acting debut at 15 with a small role in a highschool staging of Romeo and Juliet. Shakespeare was his teacher again at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in 1955, and his first professional performance was as the Second Officer in a Cambridge, Mass. production of Twelfth Night. After studying method acting with Lee Strasberg, he changed his birth name to Gene Wilder because, according to a 2005 interview in the Daily Telegraph, “Jerry Silberman in Macbeth did not have the right ring to it.” That’s a very Gene Wilder line. Even if you know him best from the title role in Young Frankenstein, you can see him mildly, earnestly pairing Silberman and Macbeth. It’s too bad Wilder never played Shakespeare in his prime. The closest he came was as Willy Wonka quoting from Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venice and singing “in springtime, the only pretty ring time” from As You Like It. Two Anniversaries Wilder would be at home in the madcap comedy I’ve been reading on the occasion of the 483rd birthday of Queen Elizabeth (September 7, 1533) and the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death in 1616. The title page of the first quarto of Love’s Labour’s Lost (1598) reads “As it was performed before her Highness this past Christmas,” which means that Shakespeare, as one of the Lord Chamberlain’s players, may have been in the Queen’s presence on December 25, 1597, both as author and performer. Although any actual meeting between the age’s two luminaries is purely hypothetical, numerous encounters as imagined by novelists, painters, and filmmakers, not to mention fabulists and conspiracy theorists, are documented by Helen Hackett in Shakespeare and Elizabeth: The Meeting of Two Myths (Princeton Univ. Press 2009). Beginning with the cover’s crayon-on-paper drawing from 1979 by David Hockney, the book also offers fantasy images of the Bard and the Virgin Queen, whether Shakespeare is close at hand reading to Elizabeth, or performing in front of her, or reciting Macbeth before the Court, or listening intently as she “runs through a little thing of her own composition.” Working the Laughs Reading, smiling, and sometimes laughing my way through Love’s Labour’s Lost this past week, I imagined what Gene Wilder could have done with roles like Costard or Moth or “the fantastical Spaniard” Don Adriana de Armado. I also indulged myself with the thought that certain of the same lines that made me laugh might have convulsed the Queen. Quite an idea: sharing a laugh with Elizabeth. And why not? The play’s comic energy is broad and basic enough to reach from 1597 to 2016, from a queen to a New Jersey commoner. Consider the first two scenes of Act One, where the banter is as brazenly

worked for laughs as anything this side of Mel Brooks and as in-your-face funny now as it would have been in that longago Christmas holiday performance. It’s easy to imagine Wilder as Costard mildly, haplessly, needily chiming in with a meme-me whenever he hears himself referred to in Don Armado’s extravagant letter of self-introduction, first as “that base minnow of thy mirth” (“Me”), “that unlettered small-knowing soul” (“Me”), “that shallow vassal” (“Still me”), and when he finally hears himself called by name (“Oh me”). Wilder might mouth the words in a Chaplinesque pantomime while, say, Jerry Lewis would be mugging to a fare-theewell (think “Oh da pain!”) I can also see Wilder in the next scene playing Armado’s “dear imp” Moth. When Armado calls him “my tender juvenal [meaning juvenile]” Moth asks “why tender juvenal?” and Armado holds forth (think W.C. Fields) “I spoke it, tender juvenal, as a congruent epitheton appertaining to thy young days, which we may nominate tender.” That’s only the beginning of a zany back and forth comparable in tempo and timing to two jazz musicians riffing or, more apt, to a pair of comedians taking the language all over t h e m ap as w h e n Chico and Groucho Mar x per for m one of their nonsensical pun-driven duets or Abbott and Costello skewer English grammar in their classic routine about a baseball team with Who on f irs t, W hat on second, and I Don’t Know on third. Word-Drunk In Shakespeare and the Invention of the Human, Harold Bloom laments having never seen a production of Love’s Labour’s Lost “that could begin to perform to its vocal magnificence.” He compares “this festival of language” to “an exuberant fireworks display in which Shakespeare seems to seek the limits of his verbal resources, and discovers that there are none.” In the production I found at the library (a 1980 BBC/Time Life DVD), the scene of the reading of Armado’s letter was actually left out and the Moth/Armado exchange was reduced to limp, languid badinage. Bloom surmises that Shakespeare “may have enjoyed a particular and unique zest in composing” Love’s Labour’s Lost. In fact, if you read this play in the spirit of its composition, in the glory of its comic/ cosmic riffing, it makes you word-drunk, and no wonder, since Shakespeare was word-drunk writing it. Next to sharing a laugh with Elizabeth, what could be better than to get drunk with Shakespeare?

The Presence of the Playwright The character who more than any other speaks for Shakespeare is Biron, one of three lords attending the King of Navarre. Biron (spelled Berowne in some texts) has the most to say and the most to lose, given the title, for he labors to win the love of regal Rosaline, the eloquently contemptuous female described by Shakespeare-asBiron in terms that evoke the dark lady of the sonnets. It’s Biron who makes a show of refusing to sign on to the King’s vow of three years of study without seeing a woman, only to turn everything to his and the play’s purpose with one glorious speech undermining the objective of the contract: if study has to preclude “vain delight,” then what could be more vain than “painfully to pore upon a book/To seek the light of truth; while truth the while/Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look,” for “Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.” Referring to scholars (“earthly godfathers of heaven’s lights”) that “give a name to every fixed star,” Shakespeare/Biron concludes that they have “no more profit of their shining nights / T han those that walk and wot not what they are.” It was this passage that Herman Melville, gearing up for Moby Dick, scored and underscored in his copy of the Works: “Study is like the heaven’s glorious sun/That will not be deep-search’d with saucy looks :/ Small have continual plodders ever won/ Save base authority from others’ books.” After underscoring the last line — “Too much to know is to know nought but fame” — Melville puts a check mark next to the King’s response: “How well he’s read, to reason against reading!” Playing to the Queen On December 25, 1597, the living monarch was in the audience, is the audience. Like the passage Melville marked that spoke to him as if in Shakespeare’s voice, there are phrases throughout the play that make the presence of the playwright felt through Biron, his actor intermediary, who with a look or a gesture could speak, in effect, directly or implicitly to the queen, as in the line, “Study me how to please the eye indeed/By fixing it upon a fairer eye,/Who dazzling so, that eye shall be his heed/And give him light that it was blinded by.” Imagine the Virgin Queen contemplating the performance of a play whose primary subject and objective cause is woman. Just as Shakespeare offers his comedy to a female ruler, the King and his love-

besotted lords offer poems and vows of love to a group of women who end by sentenc-

ing them to a year of service or penance. In Act 4, when Biron delivers what may be the longest single speech in Shakespeare, the theme for all purposes is that “the ground of study’s excellence” is “the beauty of a woman’s face.” And if Shakespeare himself was playing Biron’s part, as the 33-year-old actor/author might well have been, where else would he look but to Elizabeth as he delivers a line such as “From women’s eyes this doctrine I derive;/They are the ground, the books, the academes/From whence doth spring the true Promethean fire.” Elizabeth Laughing While there appears to be nothing on record about the sound of Queen Elizabeth’s laughter, one measure of her susceptibility to the comic horseplay and wordplay in Love’s Labour’s Lost may be found in the frequently cited anecdote in which her fondness for the character of Falstaff leads her to decree that Shakepeare write a play about the fat knight in love. Since Falstaff is among Shakespeare’s greatest, earthiest, most human creations, the story says something positive about the Queen’s humanity. To admire Falstaff also suggests a tolerance for and even enjoyment of inventive vulgarity. In Shakespeare and Elizabeth, Hackett pays particular attention to The Merrie Wives of Windsor, the play the legend has Shakespeare writing to honor his Queen’s request. In her introduction, Hackett also stresses Elizabeth’s “affection for and kinship with the common people of her realm,” she who “more than once asserted that she would rather be a milkmaid than a queen,” and claimed, “I am indeed endued with such qualities that were I turned out of the realm in my petticoat, I were able to live in any place of Christendom.” Reading that, who can doubt that Elizabeth had a capacity for the likes of Costard and Moth as well as for the “Promethean fire.” “Making God Smile” t the end of Love’s Labour’s Lost, Biron is, as Bloom notes, “outside the artifice of the player” and “more than ever speaks for Shakespeare himself.” His last move, however, is to step back as the play comes warmly and wisely down to earth with two songs, first of spring, then winter, for the Queen who would rather be a milkmaid. The song ends “When all aloud the wind doth blow/And, birds sit brooding in the snow,/And Marian’s nose looks red and raw,/When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,/Then nightly sings the staring owl, /Tu-whit/Tu-who, a merry note, /While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.” “Making God smile” is the phrase Gene Wilder used in an interview about his time with the Bristol Old Vic. That’s how acting could feel when everything seemed right. Whether or not God smiled, chances are Elizabeth did when she heard Shakespeare’s songs. —Stuart Mitchner

Mailbox Princeton Is a Community Determined To Break Down the Walls That Divide Us

To the Editor: I was inspired to write in response to Anne Levin’s August 17 article [“‘Welcoming Week’ to Recognize Princeton’s History of Inclusiveness,” page 7] which prompted me to reach out to Elisa Neira, Princeton’s Human Services Director, who nudged me to write a Letter to the Editor. In what can feel like a wildly fast-paced mobile and globalized world there is a strong need to find stable communities in our lives which ground and orient us. As a recent immigrant from the Show-Me state, I arrived in Princeton eagerly anticipating my work at a local religious ministry. Yet I wondered whether I would fit in to this storied Ivy League community to which I initially felt no connection. Author Charles Vogl in his book The Art of Community helped me think more expansively about community as “a group of individuals who share a mutual concern for one another’s welfare.” I’ve been delighted to discover that Princeton strives to bring people together and is a community determined to break down the walls that would try to divide us. Who we are as a community is seen in the many volunteer and civic initiatives that help foster a genuine connection with one another. I found people who care deeply about justice and love for their fellow human beings at monthly meetings of Not in Our Town Princeton (niotprinceton.org), an interracial, interfaith group whose monthly meetings help build bridges of understanding. In the meetings I’ve attended, there have been thoughtprovoking discussions that have helped me to move out of my comfort zone, which is where growth happens. Out of a desire to connect with the larger Princeton community, I convinced my crowd-adverse Brazilian wife to join the joyous throng in celebrating Communiversity Day this past April. Never before have I lived in a community with an Arts Council that collaborates with the town and a major university to pull off a multi-cultural event that attracted over 40,000 people. Princeton is about to celebrate and welcome immigrants, refugees, and other new Americans this month. It’s prompted me to dig deeper and think about qualities that might define the perfect community for one and all. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far: fulfillment, health, justice, intelligence, abundance, and the brotherhood of man. The ideal community is also one where people feel unified and validated so that any group’s talents, skills and abilities can flourish. Here’s an uplifting thought in support of a perfect community written by Mary Baker Eddy: “Pure humanity, friendship, home, the interchange of love bring to earth a foretaste of heaven.” Is there such a thing as a perfect community? Perhaps not … every community has its challenges … but I have no doubt that Princeton is the perfect community for me. STEVE DRAkE The Great Road

The suspect exited the store on foot but was not located. On August 26, at 8:05 p.m., a victim reported that someone stole her wallet out of her bag on Witherspoon Street. The wallet was later returned to her but it was missing $150. On August 28, at 12:58 p.m., a 42-year-old male from Pennsburg, Pa. was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a prohibited weapon subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Nassau Street for operating a motorcycle without a helmet.

On August 31, at 3:38 p.m., patrols were called to the Hun School of Princeton to investigate the report of a person who entered a female bathroom on campus and took pictures of a 14-yearold female student. The staff was able to quickly identify the accused prior to police arrival. A 29-year-old male from Newark who was part of a cleaning crew that was hired to wash windows on campus was arrested and charged with invasion of privacy, endangering the welfare of a child, and tampering with evidence. On September 2, at 3:44 p.m., it was reported that a Thermo Scientific Aerosol monitor used to measure dust particles in the air was stolen from the AvalonBay parking garage sometime last Friday.

Ms. Bech emphasized that the three-step process ensures that the construction work will not interrupt any operations at the YMCA, which welcomes more than 7000 members and visitors each year. The current refresh project is part of the Y’s continuing strategic planning. Ms. Bech stated that they will be seeking out conversations with the community during the coming year, especially in the areas of youth, health, and wellness. “By sounding out the community, we can be part of the solution to its problems and needs.” This YMCA project follows a reorganization initiative announced last February in conjunction with the YWCA,

which will continue to work with the YMCA on certain programs. At that time the two organizations agreed that in order “to lessen confusion in the community” and to give each organization greater independence to manage its facilities and programs, the YWCA would run services from the Program Building and the Bramwell House, while the YMCA would operate entirely from the Athletic Building. T he P r i nce ton Fa m i ly YMCA, as of September 1, is providing all sports programs, including martial arts, as well as aquatics and summer day camp programs, and will also continue to provide Childwatch services for members and all programs that operate off the site, such as after school and Princeton Young Achievers programs.

The YWCA will continue to run the childcare and bilingual nursery school, the Newcomers and Friends Club, robotics, the Breast Cancer Resource Center, dance, English as a Second Language, and the High School Equivalency Training Center. “One of the beauties of the YMCA is that it serves as a connection between people in the community,” Ms. Bech said. “We feel strongly that by making these improvements we will have more people joining us. These are people who might otherwise not meet each other. Relationships are forged that strengthen the foundation of our community. Everything happens at the speed of a relationship, and this place helps to forge those relationships.” —Donald Gilpin

First Welcoming Week continued from page one

week is a Cultural Exchange Night on September 20 at Hinds Plaza, beginning with the reading of a proclamation by Mayor Liz Lempert. Ten tables of displays by local families, individuals, and volunteers will be set up. From 7 to 9 p.m., dancers from Princeton Folk Dance will lead community members in dancing to live music by “Ajde,” an international folk dance band playing both modern and traditional instruments. A bilingual walking tour of African American Princeton, led by longtime resident and historian Shirley S at ter f ield, is pla n ne d for September 21 at 10 a.m. An interpreter will translate into Spanish.

Participants should register by calling (609) 6882055. Ms. Urias, who plans to go to graduate school for social work, is an intern with Elisa Neira, director of the town’s Human Services department. She has been working on the project since late spring. “In May, it was just an idea,” she said. “I helped Elisa come up with events that Princeton could do in a week. We went to local non profit groups, community leaders, and houses of worship to get participation.” Both Luis and Leah are members of Princeton’s new Youth Advisory Committee. Leah was in charge of art for Welcoming Week, designing flyers, the logo, and more. “This was kind

of a way of getting my foot in the door,” she said. “I want to be in graphic design and this could mean recognition for me.” Luis, who was born in Guatemala, hopes to become a social worker. “If I do end up in this career, this will have been great experience for me,” he said. He was instrumental in reaching out to the immigrant community, handing out flyers and creating a small, bilingual pamphlet of stories told to him by immigrant business owners. He especially enjoyed meeting the owner of Hunan restaurant on Witherspoon Street. “I grew up going there,” he said. “I never thought I’d meet the owner. But she had a great story and she really inspired me.”

Among the other young volunteers who interviewed immigrant business owners were Stuart Country Day School students Avelyn and Emerlee Simons. “The sisters feel it is so important to highlight the hard working spirit of immigrants in their town, which in turn fosters respect and appreciation for the varied, rich and wonderful global cultures represented in their community,” said Ms. Neira in a written statement. “Having attended schools in Lima, Perú, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, the girls know first-hand that a welcoming smile and a kind word help to build bridges to friendship. They fully agree with Welcoming America’s motto “Because when communities welcome newcomers, they

become better places for everyone.” According to the Welcoming America website, more than 22,000 people participated in 245 events last year. Princeton’s schedule of activities will add to the list. “We’re doing a lot of social media. The library and Historical Society are also publicizing this,” said Ms. Urias. “We’re trying to involve everybody we can.” —Anne Levin

The realistic paintings of James Fiorentino depict some of the state’s most endangered and vulnerable species. “Renowned as one of the best sports artists in the country, Jim’s works hang in major museums,” says Governor Kean, who met the artist while serving as president of Drew University — Fiorentino was a student there in the 1990s, when his sports figures started receiving national attention. He was featured on ABC World News and in The New York Times. “In recent years he has turned to wildlife. Jim has created an amazing body of work …. Many of the creatures he paints are endangered, and Jim celebrates their uniqueness and beauty.” “Mr. Fiorentino’s incredibly evocative artwork inspires viewers by putting a spotlight on these charismatic yet often overlooked wildlife species,” says Conserve Wildlife Foundation New Jersey Executive Director David Wheeler. “His watercolor paintings truly bring wildlife to life. His art helps to educate and engage viewers about the precipitous declines that many of these species have suffered and helps us bring attention to the very tangible steps that people can take to save and strengthen these wildlife populations.” “The subject of disappearing New Jersey wildlife speaks directly to the work that we do to protect habitats,” says D&R Greenway President and CEO Linda Mead. “As an admirer of James Fiorentino’s artistic talent, I am thrilled that we were selected as the premiere venue for this exhibition. Conserve Wildlife Foundation New Jersey has been a long-time partner with D&R Greenway, exhibiting their Species on the Edge fifthgrade art and essay contest winners annually in our Olivia Rainbow Gallery.” This year, the fifth graders art will be exhibited simultaneously with the Fiorentino exhibit, beginning September 12.

FOUR SEASONS WATERCOLORISTS: This watercolor of Cape May by Susan Troost will be included in the Gourgaud Gallery’s exhibit “Winter Workshop and Four Seasons Watercolorist Group Show” that runs from September 11-23. In 2014, Conserve Wildlife’s David Wheeler attended D&R Greenway’s Wild Creatures: Protecting Endangered Wildlife for 40 Years and saw a bobcat and red-tailed hawk painted by Fiorentino. Wheeler invited Fiorentino to judge the Species on the Edge youth contest, and from there wheels began to spin about an exhibition. Fiorentino, 39, started painting animals when he was 10. Governor Kean’s passion for nature inspired him to become a trustee for the Raptor Trust in Millington, New Jersey. “We rehabilitate 4,000 wild birds a year and release about half that number,” says Fiorentino. “These wild birds have had a tremendous influence on me. I enjoy getting close to birds of prey, and it brought me back to nature art.” Before going back to his studio to paint the details, Fiorentino sketches the animals up close, sometimes holding them, taking in their details. The Middlesex County native moved to Flemington with his wife 11 years ago. “I am awed by what we see in our own backyard: the (endangered) eastern box turtle, great horned owl,

pileated woodpeckers, foxes, hawks, and butterflies. It’s an amazing backyard ecosystem.” His two young sons enjoy being in nature, the older one joining his father to draw wildlife, especially butterflies — proving that humans, too, benefit from having wildlife in their midst. “Because of the 20,000 acres preserved by D&R Greenway, endangered wildlife who make their home in New Jersey will continue to have a supportive habitat,” says Fiorentino. ———

Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts, Department of French and Italian, and L’Avant-Scène will present the fifth annual Seuls en Scène, French Theater Festival, which will take place from September 22 through October 6 at venues across the University’s campus. Most performances will be in French, some with English supertitles, and are free and open to the public. Marking the launch of the 16th season of the student French theater workshop L’Avant-Scène, Seuls en Scène brings celebrated French actors and directors to the University and the local community. This year’s festival includes an acclaimed play from the 2011 Avignon Theater Festival, a hit of the

2015 Avignon Fringe Festival, works by some of the most noted contemporary French playwrights, and a dance piece. The festival will showcase the diversity currently on French stages, and, as in recent years, it will unite members of the new leading generation in French theater with their more prominent peers, as well as with early career theater artists. Seuls en Scène has been organized by Florent Masse, Senior Lecturer in the Department of French and Italian and director of L’Avant-Scène. While most performances will be in French, three productions will include English supertitles, and one will be presented in English. Kicking off the festival, Roland Auzet will direct Anne Alvaro and Audrey Bonnet in Dans la solitude des champs de coton (In the Loneliness of the Cotton Fields)by Bernard-Marie Koltès on September 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in the Frick Chemistry Building Atrium on the Princeton campus. In the play, in an undefined place and time, a dealer (Alvaro) and a client (Bonnet) meet. The two protagonists assess one another before

launching into a quarrel of words, full of poetry. Auzet stages and sets this famous play by Koltès to music in all-new version, with a twist: each spectator will participate using a set of headphones. Renow ne d play w r ight, director, and head of T2GThéâtre de Gennevilliers Pascal Rambert will return to Princeton to present Clôture de l’amour (Closing of Love)on September 24 at 8 p.m. and September 25 at 5 p.m. He will direct Audrey Bonnet and perform in the play himself. Written for the 2011 Avignon Theater Festival, the play Closing of Love was awarded the 2012 Prix de la Meilleure création d’une pièce en langue française (Best French Language Play) by the Syndicat de la Critique and the Grand Prix de littérature dramatique by the Centre national du théâtre. On September 28 and 29 at 8 p.m., Mohamed El Khatib, a prominent new artist who made a lasting impression at the Avignon Fringe Festival in 2015 will perform in his play Finir en beauté (A Beautiful Ending). From interviews, emails, texts, administrative documents and other “real sources,” Mohamed El Khatib, alone on stage, (re)constructs a delicate tale of mourning the death of his mother in a touching piece of work that achieves a certain timelessness. After studying at the CADAC (Dramatic Arts Center of Mexico), and completing a Ph.D. in sociology about artistic reviews in the French press, Khatib co-founded the Zirlib collective in 2008. Caroline Guiela Nguyen, a prominent new artist on the French stage, will direct Mon grand amour (My Great Love) on September 30 at 5:00, 7:30, and 10:00 p.m. and October 1 at 3:00, 5:00, and 7:30 p.m., in a site-specific performance, which she recently premiered at Festival Ambivalence(s) of Comédie de Valence in the Rhône Valley region. With her company Les Hommes Approximatifs, and her French and Vietnamese actors, Nguyen often integrates her native Vietnam into her plays. On September 30 and October 1 at 8 p.m., playwright and director David Lescot, will direct Marie Desgrangesand Antoine Mathieu in Ceux qui restent (The Ones Who Remain). April 19, 2013 marked the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, after which it was destroyed.

PRINCETON FRENCH THEATER FESTIVAL: Antoine Mathieu and Marie Desgranges in “Ceux qui restent (The Ones Who Remain),” which will be presented on September 30 and October 1 as part of the Princeton French Theater Festival. Most performances will be in French, some with English supertitles, and are free and open to the public. Performances will be held at venues across Princeton University.

although he would eventually return to the ring, that one display of cowardice effectively overshadowed his subsequent achievements. Written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz (Secuestro Express), Hands of Stone is a biopic that humanizes Roberto and puts a positive spin on his indelible stain. This version of his career blames Duran’s failing on his manager, Carlos Eleta (Ruben Blades), and pressure from the fight’s promoter, Don King (Reg E. Cathey). In the movie, we see the backstage image of a burntout Roberto bemoaning his being exploited. “I worked all my life. I didn’t have any fun, when I was a kid.” He not only began boxing young, he also married when he was 17 to Felicidad (Ana de Armas), who was only 14. However, the couple went on to have eight children and are still together after 47 years. If the movie has a flaw, it’s in the fight scenes which leave a lot to be desired. Anyone expecting cinema verite as in Rocky or Raging Bull, will be disappointed. Robert De Niro plays the legendary Ray Arcel who came out of retirement, in spite of death threats from the Mafia, to train a teenaged Duran. He whips the promising protege into fighting shape, and it’s just a matter of time before Roberto becomes successful. Ver y G ood (HHH) . Rated R for sexuality, nudity, and profanity.

oberto Duran (Edgar Ramirez) is considered by most fight experts to be one of the greatest boxers of all time. He earned his nickname “Hands of Stone” because of his punching power. Born in Panama in 1951, Roberto exhibited promise from the moment he first entered the ring at the age of 8. He turned pro at 16 and won the World Lightweight title at Madison Square Garden in 1972 after Ken Buchanan (John Duddy) failed to answer the bell for the 14th round. Roberto went on to knock out over 50 foes and compiled an impressive 62-1 record as a lightweight before moving up in weight class. When he retired in 2002, Roberto held the world welterweight, light middleweight, and middleweight titles. But despite that incredible feat, he is remembered for crying “No mas!” before quitting midway through his Welterweight World Championship rematch with Sugar Ray Leonard (Usher Raymond). And

Music and Theater Musical Adaptation, “Hansel and Gretel”

The classic tale, Hansel and Gretel, comes to life in a musical adaptation by Open Air Theatre co-artistic director, composer and lyricist, Louis Palena. Set for two weekends of shows, Hansel and Gretel will be performed on September 10, 11, 17 and 18 with shows on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. Based on the original tale, a brother and sister take a trip through the woods of Germany. Complete with gingerbread men and a musical singing bird, this new twist on the classic story will delight audiences of all ages. Palena has taken the story loved by generations of readers and created a new theatrical work that made its debut at the Open Air Theatre during the 2013 season. Open Air Theatre audiences have seen his versions of Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White. His musical The Snow Queen’s Frozen

Adventure will close out the 2016 Children’s Theatre series. Tickets are $5 for children or adults and can always be purchased at the Open Air Theatre Box Office prior to the performance.

Film historian and theorist Michael B.

Michael B. Gillespie contemporary art. His recently released book, Film Blackness: American Cinema and the Idea of Black Film (Duke University Press, 2016) frames black film alongside literature, music, art, photography, and new

media, treating it as an interdisciplinary form that enacts black visual and expressive culture. The book shifts the ways scholars think about black film, treating it not as a category, genre, or strictly a representation of the black experience, but as a visual negotiation between film as art and the discursivity of race. This fall he w ill teach “Special Topics in Film History — World Cinema in a Global Context.” Gillespie has published numerous essays and book chapters including “Grace and Grind: Notes on the Work of Kevin Jerome Everson” in How to Remain Human (Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland, 2015) and “Reckless Eyeballing: Coonskin, Film Blackness, and the Racial Grotesque,” in Contemporar y Black American Cinema: Race, Gender and Sexuality at the Movies edited by Mia Mask ( Routledge, 2012 ). He has organized numerous academic panels on black visual and expressive culture for meetings of the Societ y for Cinema and Media Studies, American Studies Association, and Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present. His most recent research

project is entitled Music of My Mind: Blackness and Sonic Visuality. Gillespie is currently associate professor of film at The City College of New York, holding a joint appointment in the Department of Media and Communication Arts and the Black Studies Program, and previously taught at Ohio University, Athens, The New School, Duke University, and New York University.

With Sophomore Wong Sparking Defensive Effort, PU Field Hockey Produces Encouraging 1-1 Start

fter starring at center back last fall in her freshman season with the Princeton University field hockey team, Elise Wong has moved up the field as a defensive midfielder in her second college campaign. For Wong, a 2015 firstteam All-Ivy League performer with six assists, the transition to her new spot has been seamless. “It is exciting, it is something new, something fresh,” said Wong. “I am comfortable where I was last year but it is a nice new challenge that I am happy to take on.” Last Friday, 15th-ranked Princeton faced a major challenge as it hosted No. 1 North Carolina in its season opener. The game was scoreless for most of the first half until UNC scored on a penalty corner with no time remaining. The Tar Heels took a 2-0 lead 15 minutes into the second half but the Tigers rallied back, cutting the lead in half on a goal by Ryan McCarthy with 1:37 left in regulation. With time running out, the Tigers generated a penalty corner but couldn’t convert as they fell 2-1. While Wong was disappointed by the result, she was proud of Princeton’s defensive effort. “We worked really hard on it this whole week, staying

strong and having a pride with our defense,” said Wong. “I think we really brought that out today over the whole field, from the forwards to our backs to our goalie in the cage, Grace Baylis. She was amazing.” Fighting hard all over the field to the final whistle, the Tigers nearly pulled off an amazing finish. “I am really proud of this team for battling back, even when we were down 2-0,” asserted Wong. “It really showed our character and our heart. We were missing two of our key players (senior star Cat Caro and sophomore striker Sophia Tornetta) and everybody really stepped up. We had a lot of Tiger pride out there. I think that we just need to keep that intensity that we had in those last two minutes, bottle that, and do that for 70 minutes.” Two days later, Princeton showed good intensity, beating Bucknell 5-2 to give head coach Carla Tagliente her first win at the helm of the program. In Wong’s view, the Princeton players have adjusted well as Tagliente took the reins from Kristen HolmesWinn this summer. “It is definitely different but our team has taken it in stride and I think we are really excelling under the new

leadership,” said Wong. “I think we are really going back to basics; getting the simplest things that you can do and doing those the best that you can.” Tagliente, for her part, liked the way her players gave their best in the opener. “We had some kids play a lot of minutes and they had to gut it out a little bit and play longer minutes than we wanted; I thought their effort was there,” said Tagliente, noting that the Tigers missed the all-around contributions of Caro and Tornetta. “We talked at the second timeout; it is 2-0 down and if we score one, we have got 12 minutes to score a goal to really make it a run. You could really see the difference in the momentum at that point. It just needed to happen a little sooner, that is all. We were set up to tie it at the end, you can’t ask for more.” The Tigers produced a gutsy defensive effort in thwarting the Tar Heels for much of the contest. “We are not deep back there we have a group of solid defenders,” said Tagliente. “We probably gave up a few too many corners down the stretch, part of that is not necessarily on them; it is what was happening in the lines leading up.” Junior Ryan McCarthy made things happen for the

Tigers at the offensive end. “I told her to relax, she is dangerous if she has the ball; you are not dangerous if you don’t have it,” said Tagliente of McCarthy, who contributed a goal and an assist in the win over Bucknell with Caro, Tornetta, freshman Krista Hoffman, and senior Ellen Dobrijevic chipping in one goal apiece against the Bison. “I said just dial it down; your 80 percent is faster than anybody else’s 100. The next thing you know, the ball breaks and she is off and going. She made the adjustment and that was a big thing for her. If she plays within herself, she can do some really good things. She had the big shot at the end with a blind shot.” Tagliente enjoyed her Princeton debut, notwithstanding the final score. “My nerves are fine; I am not nervous,” said Tagliente. “I just want them to do well because I think they deserve it, they have been working hard. I am into it as much as they are. I am a competitor, I wanted that last one to go in and play for an overtime win but I am good.” In Tagliente’s view, that hard work is going to translate into success for the Tigers. “We are going to do really well this year and moving on,” said Tagliente, whose team hosts No. 9 Albany on September 9 and No. 14 Delaware on September 11. “These guys have the abil-

I think when we are healthy and get everyone back, we will be contending.” Wong, for her part, believes that a focus on getting everyone to work together is a key to Princeton being a title contender. “One of our themes this

year is that we are going to make everyone else around us be the best that we can be all the time,” said Wong. “So it is not just improving yourself but improving the person next to you. I want to help my teammates and they are helping me.” —Bill Alden

After Tough 1-0 Defeat to West Virginia in Opener, Tiger Men’s Soccer Aims to Get on Winning Track

HOLDING THE FORT: Princeton University men’s soccer player Patrick Barba, left, goes after the ball in a game last fall. Last Saturday, senior defender and captain Barba helped Princeton hold the fort as it played two men down for most of the second half in a 1-0 loss at West Virginia (2-1) in its season opener.

Opening its season at No. 24 West Virginia last Saturday evening, the Princeton Un iversit y men’s soccer team knew it faced a huge challenge. But the clash with the Mountaineers turned into a decidedly uphill battle as the Tigers had two players ejected due to red cards and played most of the second half with just nine players. Already down 1-0 at halftime, Princeton fought valiantly, generating chances and holding the fort defensively but it couldn’t overcome that disadvantage as it fell by that margin. Princeton head coach Jim Barlow acknowledged that his team faced some formidable obstacles as the game unfolded. “Playing two men down on a field that is 120 yards by 80 made it really difficult for us,” said Barlow, noting that West Virginia’s field is the largest the Tigers are likely to play on this season. “It was frustrating that we

were in that position. It was a physical game. It was a hard first game in a lot of ways and we were disappointed to not get the result.” Barlow was disappointed to see that the only score of the game came on a restart that took a while to develop as officials sorted out which Princeton player they were going to cite for a yellow card on the foul that led to the free kick. “I think the delay there impacted our ability to get ready for the restart; we just didn’t look as organized as we usually did for the restart and they served it and scored,” lamented Barlow. “ We h a d r e a l l y b e e n making an emphasis on defending restarts and we just didn’t do a good job of marking and beating them to the first ball and making sure we were all in a good position to make that play which ended up deciding the game.” Coming into the second half, Princeton was looking to make connections offensively through its midfield but that all changed when Matthew Mancini received a red card in the 48th minute and Nicholas Badalamenti got his second yellow card to get ejected some 11 minutes later. “To be fair, we had a bunch of corner kicks and restarts and a couple of half-chances that we just weren’t able to get something better out of,” said Barlow. “We said after the game, we don’t want to talk about any moral v ictor ies. We didn’t win the game. The guys competed and we expected them to compete. When they got down two, the guys they didn’t quit and we wouldn’t expect them to quit. We have a good team and we have good starting points. When we don’t get the result we are looking for,

we are disappointed.” While the outcome was frustrating for Princeton, a number of Tigers produced good performances. “Brian Costa was really, really good, especially when we went down two guys; it seemed like he was doing the running of five guys in the midfield,” said Barlow. “A couple of freshmen go their first appearances and both played pretty much the whole second half and did really well, Benjy Issroff in the back and Ben Martin in the midfield. Both of this guys were really solid. I thought in the middle of the back with Patrick Barba and Mark Romanowski and the middle of the field starting off with Costa and Vikram Pothuri, Matt Mangini and then Ben Martin, that part of the field was really solid for us.” The Tigers will look for a more solid performance at both ends of the field when they host St. John’s on September 8 in their home opener. “An obvious focus will be figuring out that restart and any others what our shape is like and how we can improve that,” said Barlow. “We just need to figure out a better chemistry in putting the pieces together a little better in the attack and how we can create more chances and how we can get forward without being predictable.” —Bill Alden

The bar has been set high for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team. Last fall, PHS posted a sparkling 16-2-3 record but with the losses coming in the semis of the Mercer County Tournament and the sectional tourney, the team ended the season with a sense of disappointment. While the lineup of the Little Tigers will feature a number of new faces this fall, PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe and his players aren’t looking at 2016 as a rebuilding year. “I think collectively the whole team has bought in to the fact that there is a standard that has to be met historically,” said Sutcliffe. “There are opportunities this year since we lost quite a few players from last year. We have seen pretty good evidence of the work rate and t he com m it ment to building a team in the first few weeks.” Sutcliffe is expecting good work from his corps of strikers that features senior Alex Ratsan along with a trio of juniors, Noam Davidov, Dean Patel, and Harry Malady. “Alex is looking good, he is working his way into form,” said Sutcliffe. “We have Noam who is a very strong forward that can hold guys off and hold the ball up. He has proven to be good in and around the area. Dean is a crafty, technical striker, he has had a good preseason. Harry has got a lot of pace and also has the ability to hold the ball up. We do have some good balance; all of these guys are experienced strikers who are all full-time players.” PHS will feature two of its two top guys in the midfield with senior Andrew Goldsmith and junior Andrew Beamer. “Andrew Goldsmith is the attacking center mid; we are

looking for Andrew to make plays and pull the string in the center of the park,” said Sutlcliffe. “He has had a high possession percentage, which is what he has to keep getting better on and break plays when we need him. Drew Beamer is our holding center mid, he is a fantastic player. He is tucked in behind Andrew; his job is to protect the back four, pull off plays, and get up into the attack and combine with Andrew.” Sophomore Josh Neiman, senior T. J. Korsah, sophomore Sebastian Ratzan, and junior Jun Hasegawa will be providing support to Goldsmith and Beamer in the middle of the field. “Josh is a ver y speedy player, he is going to be a wide mid,” added Sutcliffe. “On the other side we have T.J. Korsah, he is a leftsided player, brings a lot of speed going forward. Then we have Sebastian who was a standout player from last year at the freshman level. He has very good speed and likes to take players on. Jun Hasegawa is a Japanese player who is very speedy.” One of PHS’s most talented players, senior Sam Serxner, will be setting the pace on the back line. “Sam is playing outside right back because a lot of our attack is based on the wing backs and he brings another dimension,” said Sutcliffe. “He has got good pace on the flank and is a really hard-nosed player. I can’t say enough about Sam and his commitment in the weight room in the spring. We have terrific alumni pickup games in the summer and he was at every one. Sam has been great, he is such a pivotal person.” The Little Tigers will be looking for some great play from the other members of

its defensive unit, which also includes junior Ian Jacobs, junior Noah Middlekauff, and junior Quentin Pompliano. “Ian is a center back who is very strong, very good in the air, and has very good feet; he is a very tenacious player,” said Sutlcliffe. “In front of him is Noah, also a center back, who has good feet with good decision-making. He is having a great preseason. Quentin Pompliano is left-footed so he is our outside left back.” Junior Patrick Jacobs is taking over at goalie, having learned the ropes from playing behind Owen Lindenfeldar and Laurenz Reimitz the last two years. “Patrick approaches it the right way, he is all business,” asserted Sutcliffe. “He is competitive; he has good command of the box. He has really good verbal command of things. He is a very good athlete, he is a hard worker. He has great potential to get better. He has been around this program, he knows about the standard. We have full confidence in him but with that being said, you have to keep getting better.” In Sutcliffe’s view, his players have to develop a tough mentality to go with their skills in order to meet the program’s high standards. “They have to keep doing what they are doing; they have to keep getting better with the ball and getting on the same page,” said Sutcliffe. “But more than that, when we do have some challenging times in however many weeks, it is their collective and individual response to that. If we drop a game or have a bad day, it is how they respond because this group has all the potential to win things.” —Bill Alden

Losing 12 seniors to graduation from a squad that advanced to the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional semifinals in 2015, there were question marks all over the field for the Princeton High girls’ soccer team as it started preseason last month. But it didn’t take long for PHS head coach Val Rodriguez to find the right answers to a lot of those questions. “At the end of last season, it was more nervous, what is next year going to bring,” said Rodriguez, who guided the Little Tigers to an 11-5-1 record last fall. “Now that we have the team and we see the new talent and we see the growth and the potential, I think people are really excited.” Rodriguez is excited about her group of forwards, which features sophomore Shannon Romaine and freshman Kirin Kunukkasseril. “Shannon is a ret ur n ing sophomore, she has got good size and she can hold people off,” said Rodriguez, who will also be using sophomore Hayley Cohen

and junior Sabine Waldeck up front. “She scored two goals already for us in our first scrimmage, she has a composure about her that I am excited to see. Kirin is just this freshman but nothing makes her nervous, I have never seen a player on the field so calm. I think that she is going to find the back of the net several times for us because of the composure that she has.” The midfield will be spearheaded by two of the team’s most skilled players, juniors Colette Marciano and Devon Lis. “Colette and Devon are going to be the engines for us in the midfield for sure,” asserted Rodriguez. “They are both very smart, talented players; hopefully teams don’t double us up too much in the middle. They both had big club seasons and were both out to San Diego for the nationals.” The Little Tigers boast a number of other talented players to join Marciano and Lis in the midfield, including junior Isabella Giglio, freshman Morgan Beamer, and junior Izzy Stier. “We are going to fill the left with Isabella, she is fresh back from surgery again but she is healthy and is finally going to get some true minutes on the left side,” said Rodriguez. “The other slot is a little bit up in the air. We have got Morgan in the mix and she is looking strong. Izzy can play there. We might play around with one of the outside backs and see what they look like there.” Senior star Zoe Tesone leads a battle-tested back line for PHS, which will also feature junior Gracia DiBian-

co, senior Jackie Girouard, junior Abaigeal Ryan, and promising freshman Lauren Rougas. “Zoe has good poise back there, she makes good decisions,” said Rodriguez. “She is great in the air game and communicates really well. She has got a good foot. Zoe and Gracia are going to play in the middle for us and then we have Abaigeal and Jackie back on the outside so our defense isn’t changing too much. We have a great freshman, Lauren, who will rotate through very nicely as well.” The Little Tigers have two freshmen, Caroline Ealy and Shaylah Marciano, vying for time at goalie. “Both show a lot of potential, both show a lot of talent,” said Rodriguez of her goalies. “I think for team dynamics, one will win a starter’s spot but I don’t want the other one to be sitting on the bench all of the time. I would like to get a rotation in but I would also like to have consistency.” If PHS can develop consistency, it could enjoy a positive campaign. “I think it is one of those teams where the positive energy is pretty good right now so if we can continue to learn from one another and the veterans teach the newcomers, I think we can surprise ourselves,” said Rodriguez. “There is a lot of young talent and we are filling the holes that we knew we had pretty well. I look at it as one of those no expectations, see what we can do kind of years. The goals we are going to set are individual, small goals.” —Bill Alden

Ch arl i e G a l lag h e r ac knowledged that his Princeton High football team has been feeling the heat over the last few weeks. “Preseason was hot, one of the worst preseasons as far as humidity, heat index, and all of that stuff,” said PHS head coach Gallagher. “But overall I thought we got a lot of good stuff in; I think the kids persevered.” Saying goodbye to more than 10 seniors from last year’s squad that went 4-6, including such standouts as running back Rory Helstrom a n d q u a r te r b a c k D av i d Beamer along with star linemen Noah Ziegler and Matt Toplin, PHS will be featuring a number of new faces who will be under fire as they assume starting roles. “We have some guys who are unproven sophomores and really haven’t gotten a chance to play and they will really have to step up,” said Gallagher, whose team kicks off its 2016 season as it hosts Pemberton on September 10. “I think they are good football players; they really do a nice job. We need guys to step up in spots where they haven’t played.” In Gallagher’s view, the young players proved something with their performance in the team’s final preseason scrimmage as it handled Cherry Hill East, building a 35-0 lead at one point. “We did what we needed to do, I think we forced five turnovers,” said Gallagher. “We took all of their turnovers and put them into points. We threw the ball in the end zone, we rushed well. There were great defensive plays by some of our guys. It was a great momentum builder and I think it was important because we struggled in the first couple of scrimmages.” One of the bright spots of the scrimmage was the play of junior quarterback Vince Doran, who has the task of filling the big shoes of the graduated Beamer.

“Vince Doran is taking the helm; he is doing a really nice job,” said Gallagher. “He had a really solid scrimmage too. It was good to see Vince play well. He stepped up into the pocket really nicely. He throws the ball on the run, he is just a good athlete. We are actually going to run him a little bit here or there as well.” The trio of sophomore Carson Giles, senior Matt Hawes, and junior Moses Mahiri will try to make up for the void left by star running back Helstrom. “It is a little bit of running back by committee right now, we have Carson, who is going to help us out at tailback,” said Gallagher. “We also have Matt, who played defensive end for us last year. He has turned out to be a nice surprise at running back. He is a very good athlete, he is a lacrosse player. He is coming off some knee injuries but he moves real nice in the backfield for us. We also have Moses, who was our fullback last year and did a real nice job for us. He is actually more of a flex guy right now because he can catch the ball out of the backfield. He is tall and lanky but also has deceptive speed.” At receiver, the Little Tigers have several guys who can catch the ball in junior Jakob Green, sophomore Aiden Sarafin, senior Alex Solopenkov, and sophomore Issac Webb. “We are going to end up spreading it out a little bit more; we have four guys that have really stepped up at wide receiver,” said Gallagher. “Our No. 1 is Jakob, he will be a split end along with Aiden. We have got Issac who did a nice job last year at the freshman/JV level for us. Alex was a starter for us in the defensive backfield and now he is playing a strong safety and our slot back. We like these guys. I think that is the crux of the team; that is where we are going to score points. I am

excited about that. Vince is doing a nice job getting the ball out to those guys.” Along the offensive line, Gallagher is looking at a group that includes senior Ethan Guerra, junior Marqui McBride, junior Adam Musa, senior Will Wright, sophomore Paul Brennan, and sophomore Jaylen Johnson. “The line is relatively inexperienced; we have Ethan coming back for his third year,” said Gallagher. “Marqui did a nice job last year, he filled in for us in some spots but now he is a permanent starter at the guard spot. Adam is playing tackle for us and Will might play a little center. We have Paul and we have a big guy in Jaylen. We are just trying to get a good rotation, seeing what the best fit is and whoever can man that line. With the offensive line, you have to get that practice every day.” That corps of linemen will see double duty as they will be manning the trenches on defense as well. At linebacker, junior Dave Hurlin along with Mahiri and Green will look to be in on the action. “We have Dave, he is coming over from Hun and is doing a real nice job for us,” said Gallagher. “Moses will be in one of the backer spots and we are mov ing Jakob f rom free safety down to outside backer. Jakob is a good tackler, we just want to get those tacklers up there. He is rangy, he can get out there. He does a good job of reading the quarterback and knowing where the ball is going to be.” In addition to strong safety Solopenkov, the secondary will include Webb, junior Will Smith, senior Aaron DiGregorio, and Sarafin. “We have got a mix of guys; we have Issac back there and we have got two men vying for a corner spot right now in Will and Aaron,” said Gallagher. “At a free safety spot, we have Aiden. We really like him at the wide receiver spot too. We are long in the secondary, most of the guys are 6-foot plus, which is nice, and they have some speed too. I think it is a fast secondary. I am hoping they will come up and they will get to the ball carrier quickly.” As PHS girds for its season opener against Pemberton, Gallagher knows that his team needs to be up to speed on the staples of the game to do well. “In high school, you still have to be able to run the ball really well and as much as we might be a little more inclined to throw the football, I still think we need to be able to run successfully,” said Gallagher. “In our last scrimmage, our defense really did a good job of getting to the offense and getting the ball. Last year was the first year that coach (Steve) DiGregorio put in his defense and this year, they have all gravitated to it. He likes to send guys and put pressure on the quarterback and force the quarterback to make hasty decisions. Pemberton has a really talented quarterback who threw 29 TD passes last year so we have our work cut out for us.” —Bill Alden

PHS Field Hockey Still Figuring Out Best Lineup But Has the Pieces in Place to Contend for Titles For Heather Serverson, guiding her Princeton High field hockey team through the preseason has been akin to working on a jigsaw puzzle. “We have some seasoned players so it really is just a matter of figuring out how we can function best as a team,” said Serverson, who guided PHS to a 13-6-2 record in 2015 and the semifinals of both the Mercer County Tournament and the North 2 Group 4 sectional. “We have the experience under our belts ; we still haven’t quite figured out how we work best together yet.” As a result, Serverson has been using scrimmages to mix and match the pieces at her disposal. “Everyone has been getting playing time so far,” said Serverson, whose team gets its 2016 campaign underway by hosting Ewing on September 8. “We have had some good depth off the bench and I hope that continues as the teams we play improve. We are finding our way.” The Little Tigers boast good depth at forward starting with senior star Avery Peterson, one of the top scorers in the area last fall. Joining Peterson up front will be sophomore Marina Lopez-Ona, senior Kennedy Corrado, junior Lisette D ub ow, and s ophomore Chloe Koehler. “Avery had a great junior year so I only expect things to go up; she has been looking good,” said Serverson. “There is Mariana up top.

Kennedy has been playing well for us so far. Lisette is returning and Chloe will also play there.” Two senior standouts, Jordyn Cane and Georgia McLean will be leading the way in the midfield, with senior Anna Cincotta, junior Margaret Jacobs, sophomore Renee Hoevers, and senior Gwen Koehler providing support. “ We have Jordy n and G eorg ia, who obv iously have a lot of experience between the two of them,” said Serverson. Jordyn plays at a high mid, which is like a forward. Anna was improving last year and I can see her getting a lot of playing time. We have Margaret returning and then Renee who will probably be playing midfield. Gwen will be playing in the midfield and maybe some at forward.” On defense, PHS features a quartet of battle-tested performers in seniors Jamaica Ponder, Lilly Leonard, Kate Wenzler, and Maddie Deutsch. “Jamaica and Lilly would be the two most experienced defenders that we have,” said Serverson “We are looking at the two of them to be the anchors back there. Kate is returning as well and Maddie will be there too.”

Junior goalie Kate Rogers has emerged as an anchor for PHS. “Kate is our steady Eddie; I have never seen a goalie have the composure t hat she has,” as s er te d Serverson. “She has had it since she was a freshman. The composure is what sets her apart, in my view.” Serverson believes that her squad can make steady progress and once again contend for titles. “I think it is a matter of putting good players in the places where they play best together and from there, trying to mix the newcomers in and see what they have to contribute,” said Serverson. “A nd hopef u lly in t he process make a team full of competitors that are ready in the postseason to show people what they are really capable of.” —Bill Alden

Growing up in Wales, Ollie Hilliker fell in love with the game of soccer at a young age. Hilliker rose through the ranks and played for the cou nt r y’s U -16 nat ional team. He later played for two Welsh semiprofessional teams before heading to the University of Liverpool to study sports science with an emphasis on soccer. “I played at a decent level; I had good experience playing but also I know the culture of being immersed in the game,” said Hilliker. Getting into coaching during his college years, Hilliker worked at some soccer camps in the U.S. and became infatuated with the idea of instilling some of the Welsh soccer culture over here. “I loved being in the U.S. s o when I g raduated, I thought I want to give it a try and see what happens,” recalled Hilliker. “I came over in 2007 and I have been here ever since.” Hilliker started coaching with the Princeton Soccer Association (PSA) in 2009 and he later took the helm of the New Hope-Solebury ( Pa.) boys’ soccer team, where he guided the program to a state title and four District 1 championships in five seasons. Having resigned his post at New Hope-Solebury because he grew weary of the long trip to games in Pennsylvania, Hilliker learned that the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team needed a head coach and he jumped at the opportunity. “Some of my club players were in the school already,” said Hilliker. “With New Hope, we used to play against PDS most

years. I knew the program. I think there is a lot of potential there for the team to be successful and to do well. I knew it would be a little bit of a challenge, which I like, so I went for it.” Hilliker was hired this spring and he has been pleased with how his new players have responded to him in the preseason. “We are having a good time and the players are enjoying themselves, which is what I think is important with whatever we do,” said Hilliker, 30, the successor to longtime head coach Malcolm Murphy, a native Englishman, who guided the Panthers to an 11-7 record last fall and an appearance in the state Prep B title game. “I like us to work hard but I always make sure that we have a good time. The camaraderie and the cohesion with the team is very good.” That combination of working hard and having fun should lead to an entertaining brand of soccer. “I want us to have an attacking style of play, focusing on possession of the ball with a purpose to go forward,” said Hilliker, whose team opens the 2016 season by hosting Hightstown on September 10. “I want to give these players the tools that they need to be successful. These kids that we have got are pretty skillful already and their knowledge of the game is pretty good. I think I can enhance that and additionally develop their tactical knowledge of the game to be more successful over the course of a full season.” The Panthers have some skillful players at forward in senior David Cedeno,

junior Diego Garcia and a pair of sophomores, Wesley Leggett, and Ricardo Martinez. “David is good, he missed a lot of last year because of a knee injury and he has looked very strong in preseason,” said Hilliker. “Diego is doing very, very well. Wesley and Ricardo are at forward too. Those four are fighting each other right now for a position on the field which is a great thing for me as a coach.” In the midfield, the junior duo of C.J. Uche and Donavan Davis will be leading the way for the Panthers. “The standout player is going to be C.J., he played quite a lot last year,” said Hilliker. “Then you have Dono van Davis, who is going to play at the back end of the midfield with a bit of time in the midfield and a bit of time in the back depending on the teams that we play. In different scenarios, we will be able to vary his role.” T he Pant her back line features seniors Jack Amaral and Coby Gibson with sophomore Cody Auslander adding a spark. “Jack and Coby are the main guys on the defense,” said Hilliker. “Cody is a very versatile player; he is going be playing on defense and the midfield. He has lots to offer in different ways.” Senior Ryan Sparks has a lot to offer at goalie for the Panthers. “Ryan is going to be the main goalie; he is looking good and sharp,” said Hilliker, who has junior Manas Sood backing up Sparks. “He is looking more ready than I expected. He is very competitive and very confident. He has worked very hard in the preseason.” I n H i l l i ker’s v iew, t he way the team has worked together in the preseason should help it be competitive this fall. “We have to stay injuryfree, that is one of the most important things because we don’t have a big roster,” said Hilliker. “One thing I am big about is making it a team and hav ing t hat cohesion so that they have all got each other’s backs and they are going to play for each other and support each other. I think we have started very well with that. If we get those two things right, we should have a successful year.” —Bill Alden

Encouraged by Ending Last Fall With 5-2-1 Surge, PDS Field Hockey Primed for Winning Campaign With Heather Farlow entering her second year at the helm of the Princeton Day School field hockey program, the team has hit the ground running this season. “I think they are used to my coaching style, my philosophy, and how I run a practice,” said Farlow, who guided the Panthers to a 6-12-1 record last fall. “I think we are farther along than we were last year at this point. We had a young team last year and we have a young team again this year. We are excited.” After producing some exciting moments down the stretch last season, going 5-2-1 in its last eight games and advancing to the state Prep B semifinals, the returning players are bringing a greater self belief into 2016. “I think last year, it was we could do this, we might be able to pull this out,” said Farlow, whose team will open the 2016 season by hosting the Stuart Country Day School on September 8. “This year the expectations are higher, not in a pressurized way, but with a feeling that we can totally compete with teams.” T he Pant hers boas t a trio of stars in the midfield in junior Madison Mundenar along with sophomores Gwen Allen and Val Radvany, who can give PDS a competitive edge against most foes. “Madison played up front for us last year, a little bit at midfield but mostly at forward so we are playing her back into the midfield and she is doing pretty well,” said Farlow, noting that her squad has done well in preseason action, outscoring Bordentown, Steinert, and WW/P-S in scrimmages. “It is new to her but she will do well. Gwen and Val are much more confident on the ball.” Farlow has confidence in her attack which includes sophomore Sasha Sindhwani, junior Gretchen Lindenfeldar, freshman Julia L ach, sophomore Hailey Young, and junior Claire Szuter. “Up front we have Sasha, Gretchen, Julia, and Hailey,” said Farlow. “Gretchen and Sasha are standing out. Julia is a freshman and she has done really well. We

might cycle in Claire and Madison might play there a little bit.” Along the back line, senior Kiely French has established herself as a standout for the Panthers. “We have Kiely back and she is going to anchor our defense,” said Farlow. “She brings athleticism and leadership for sure. She has poise on the ball, she plays club ice hockey and has a lot of competitive experience. She is a positive presence.” The rest of the PDS defense will feature junior Elizabeth Brennan, freshman Caroline Haggerty, and junior Eva-Marie Petschnigg. “Elizabeth is playing right in front of Kiely, I slid her back from a center mid to a center back; she brings experience,” added Farlow. “We have Caroline playing in the back for us and she is doing a great job. We have an exchange student, Eva,

who is from Austria and is a great addition.” Another key addition for the Panthers is freshman goalie Lexie Hausheer. “Lexie is in the U.S. talent pool; she does futures and she made the national tournament this past spring and is doing really well,” said Farlow, who also has senior Kyra Mason and freshman Maggie Madani at goalie. “Although Lexie is young, she has a lot of club and tournament experience so we are excited.” Looking ahead to the season, Farlow believes the Panthers can do really well if they take care of basics. “I think our keys are just to continue to be confident with what we do and take it game by game,” said Farlow. “We need to focus on doing simple things; working to get the ball into our offensive 25 and creating quality opportunities and just playing good team defense. If we can keep everybody healthy, we will be competitive.” —Bill Alden

Determined to Display Hustle, Heart, Stuart Field Hockey Excited for 2016 The players on the Stuart Country Day field hockey team have adopted “hustle and heart” as their mantra for the upcoming season. Tw o w e e k s i n to p r e season, Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik believes that her charges are living up to those words. “It is going very good in terms of the kids learning, progressing and working hard everyday,” said Bruvik, noting that the team had a productive weekend trip to Washington D.C. in late August where it had two scrimmages and then went 2-0 in play day scrimmages last Wednesday. “The work ethic is terrific. We have such a small group and you don’t always get that. I attribute that to the upperclassmen, our juniors and seniors.” With Stuart having ended 2015 with three straight wins to post a 6-12-1 record, the returning players are bringing confidence into this fall. “I think the kids really feel that we are heading in the right direction as a program and they are as individual players,” said Bruvik, whose team gets its 2016 campaign underway by playing at Princeton Day School on September 8. “In terms of their commitment to going to camp and playing club hockey, they are generating a lot of enthusiasm.” Bruvik is very enthusiastic about the play of senior goalie Alexxa Newman, who emerged as a star last fall. “Alexxa is looking outstanding, she has been playing dynamite,” asserted Bruvik. “She has a tremendous work ethic and the kids are so confident with her back there.” Stuar t w ill be looking for some good work on defense from junior Maddie Michaels along with a quartet of sophomores Priscilla Francois, Breasia Williams,

Bey-Shana Clark, and Maria McBride. “Maddie is really terrific at quarterbacking the defense, either in the midfield or as a center back,” said Bruvik, who will also look to use sophomore Millicent Brigaud and a pair of freshmen Joey Guan and Elaine Wang on defense. “ We w ill put P r is cilla all the way in the back so hopefully we can utilize her speed. She has great feet. Breasia will help Maddie in the backfield. We also have Bey-Shena, a basketball player who came out for the first time this year. She is a smart athlete, calm and poised. Maria has nice speed in the backfield.” Senior standout Isabelle Engel will spearhead the midfield together with juniors Elle Widger and Catherine Biava. “Izzy has a lot of experience and is smart over the ball; she makes good decisions,” said Bruvik. “Elle can also find the back of the cage and she is now playing some midfield for us. We also have Catherine in the midfield.” Junior Ali Hannah, who has been sidelined w ith mono, should bolster the Tartans upon her return. “Ali had a great summer of training; I think she is going to be one of our most versatile players,” said Bruvik. “She gained a lot of experience over the summer at camps and working with club teams; we are going to see where Ali is best needed when she gets back.” On attack, the Tartans boast a number of options, including seniors Jess D’Amico and Rachel Asir a long w it h s ophom ore s Meghan Liebowitz and Lauren Magnani and freshman Aditi Mehndiratta. “Up on the line, we are looking for Jess, Rachel, and Meghan,” said Bruvik. “We are rotating other kids in, like Lauren. We might

rotate Catherine up on the line. Aditi might also get some time on the line. We are looking to balance our midfield with our attack.” In Bruvik’s view, her team needs to play with an attacking mentality in order to have a big season. “We have really taken advantage of all the work that we are doing and we are getting into the circle but we need to be creating more scoring opportunities for ourselves and finishing,” said Bruvik “We also need to be starting out the first five to 10 minutes of every game, really into it mentally and focused.” —Bill Alden

Astrida Strazdins Apse Astrida Strazdins Apse passed away on August 30, 2016 following cardiac arrest, peacefully and with her family by her side in Brunswick, Maine. Astrida was born in a World War II refugee camp in the American sector of occupied Germany in 1945, her late mother (and longtime Princeton resident) Austra Strazdins, had left Latvia months before. They both emigrated to the United States, first to Michigan and then to Philadelphia, Pa., before she headed to the University of Akron on a scholarship. She was a passionate English literature major, and completed her master’s degree and began a doctorate in the subject at Pennsylvania State University before moving to Cambridge, Mass. to teach at The Girl’s Latin School. In Cambridge, she met and eventually married Juris Imants Apse and moved to Princeton in 1972. In Princeton, Astrida raised 3 children — Colin, Kira, and Stefan — and over the years taught English at Peddie School (starting the English as a second language program there), the Lewis School, and Princeton High School while also tutoring many local students. She lived in Princeton for 35 years before retiring with her husband to Brunswick, Maine near her children, the ocean, and her four grandchildren. Astrida was a wonderful mother, grandmother, friend, neighbor, book clubber, and partner — always ready to laugh and offer insights from her fascinating life. She might even offer a kind critique of the grammar of this obituary, as a lover of literature and of the rules of English. Few were as fond of teenagers as Astrida, and she not only did wonders with her own kids but also entertained and educated teenagers from Cambridge

Jean Stewart Turner

Jean Stewart Turner, 100, of Stonebridge at Montgomery, Skillman died August 31. Raised in Summit, New Jersey, she graduated from Kent Place School and attended Smith College. Jean married her love, Gordon B. Turner, in 1939. The couple settled in Princeton following World War II, when Gordon returned to complete his education at Princeton University and then become a faculty member. They lived in Princeton until his death in 1996, enjoying many activities together — family, hiking, foreign travel, bridge, and a shared enthusiasm for politics. Jean had a passion for the arts and was an active docent for many years at the Princeton University Art Museum. She enjoyed giving tours, especially to children, whose innate ability to see what others could not, never ceased to amaze her. Perhaps more than any other interest, nature claimed her heart. This deeply felt connection led Jean to develop a particular affinity for the museum’s Asian art collection. Jean refused to be inactive in her later years, preferring instead to audit courses at Princeton, attend concerts and other cultural events, play bridge, and to read extensively. Her concern was

with the sustainability of a sound, curious, and engaged mind. She had many friends of all ages. Open-minded and loving a good laugh, Jean’s friends could always count on her to be accepting and a source of fun. Devoted to family, Jean is survived by her daughters, Michael Ann Walstad and Gazey Turner of Lawrenceville; two granddaughters and their husbands, Kim and Matthew Zablud and Avery and Doug Connolly; and two great grandsons, Lee Zablud and Silas Connolly, all of the Washington, D.C. area. Beloved by her family, she will be deeply missed. At Jean’s request, a quiet family remembrance will be held. Thinking of Jean on a walk in the woods or a visit to a museum would be a lovely tribute. Her family would like to thank the staffs of Assisted Living at Stonebridge and Princeton Hospice for their compassionate and devoted care.

Thomas Hooker Paine

O n Au g u s t 16, 2016, T homas Hooker Paine passed away peacefully at home in San Diego with his wife by his side. Tom was the second child of Anna Hooker Paine and F. Rodney Paine of Duluth. His education was at Phillips Exeter Academy and Princeton University, where he took a degree in economics. As a child in Duluth, Tom was known as an excellent chess player. One summer when Nobel laureate Sinclair Lewis was in Duluth writing, he let it be known he could not find an adequate chess opponent; Tom spent the rest of the summer being that opponent. While Tom was at Princeton, he wrote an article for the campus paper on the futility and danger of the United States’ pursuit of the Cold War. Albert Einstein, then doing research at Princeton, strongly supported this opinion and immediately invited Tom for an afternoon of tea and discussion on pacifism. In 1950, Tom began a career in economics at the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, where he was soon published on the topic of the rise of formal employee benefits and the need for their sound regulation to protect the public. This work led to an offer of partnership in a small Illinois-based human resources consulting firm, Hewitt Associates. That firm is now part of AON Hewitt, which has nearly 30,000 employees worldwide. Tom became a national thought leader on employee benefits and compensation, established Hewitt Associates’ New York office, and was a major driver of the firm’s rapid revolution of cash and non-cash compensation throughout the world.

The firm was the only company asked by the U. S. government to consult on the Federal Interagency Task Force (1964-68) that led to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (1974). From this work flowed Employee Stock Ow nership Plans ( ESOPs, 1974) and new employee saving and investment oppor tunities through section 401(k) of the Revenue act of 1978. In 1981, The New York Times quoted Tom on his work with American Can Company on one of the earliest Flexible Benefits Programs, enabling employees to customize their benefits to their own needs. “Flexible plans give you more bang for the buck,” he said. “This is not being done just to make people feel good.” While he continued groundbreaking client work throughout the 1980s, Tom was recognized internally as a humble and unstinting mentor of young associates. In truth, he found his greatest rewards in these efforts. In the early 1990s, Tom u n d e r to o k m aj or i n te r national projects for Hewitt Associates. He built a team to assist the People’s Republic of China in the privatization of its stateow ned industries. Then, in 1994, Tom led a second team to help British Hong Kong develop a Mandatory Provident Fund to provide a retirement income structure for the country prior to its return to China. With this work finished, Tom formally retired from Hewitt Associates. While living in New York, Tom had met Teresa Ann Norton, also a Hewitt Associates partner, and they were married in 1980. The t wo resided on the East Coast until 1990, when they made a major change in coasts and lifestyles. Tom and Teresa relocated to Napa Valley where they founded Vineyard 29, an exclusive, estate Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard that grew to cult status in the ten years they were vintners. The wine remains in high demand today under new ownership. Through charity auctions, Vineyard 29 raises substantial sums for heath care and animal welfare. Finally, in 2000, actual retirement seemed like a good idea. The couple moved to Rancho Santa Fe and then San Diego, where they devoted their time to charity and academics. Tom was a member of the National Academy of Social Insurance, the Employee Benefits Research Institute, and the Napa Valley Vintners’ Association and was named Volunteer of the Year for Interfaith Community Services in North County San Diego. Throughout his life, Tom was widely known for his charming absent-mindedness; in the 1950s Hewitt Associates abandoned its rule that consultants wear hat s to cl ient m e e t i ngs partially because Tom left most of his hats at his clients’ offices. He also had

ONLINE www.towntopics.com

an uncanny ability to divert almost any conversation onto the topic of prime numbers, leaving his friends fascinated if not somewhat speechless. And, although Tom was not an athlete, his physical ability to hang multiple spoons off his nose and face (especially in elegant restaurants) astounded audiences and embarrassed his wife. Tom’s wife and best friend, Teresa, survives him. He leaves three beloved sons from an earlier marriage: Thomas H. (Lisa); John K. ( Patricia); and F. Rodney (Li); five treasured grandchildren; and a dear brother and sister.

Wilson J. Esposito, 91, of Princeton died Friday, September 2, 2016 at University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro. Born in Princeton, he was a lifelong resident. He was a United States Army World War II Veteran. Wilson retired in 1988 with over 43 years of service as a construction repairman with the New Jersey Department of Transportation.
