School Year Begins With New Contracts, “New Excitement” The school year may have started on September 8 for Princeton Public School students, but teachers and staff were up and running well before that. On Wednesday, September 2, for example, teachers and staff gathered for an opening convocation led by Superintendent Steve Cochrane. It was a great day,” he reported afterward. “The teachers and staff returned with new contracts, but also with new excitement and a new sense of purpose.” “Last year was what many might consider to be a perfect storm in the life of our district,” Mr. Cochrane observed in his remarks at the convocation. “We had to contend not only with protracted negotiations, but with our initial implementation of PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) testing — a huge undertaking — and then, in the spring, with six separate incidents of what we all came to know as swatting [prank phone calls that summon Special Weapons and Tactics teams]. It was an emotionally and physically draining year.” Standing now “on the other side of the storm,” Mr. Cochrane used the September 2 event to welcome 45 new staff members (including 33 teachers) to the system, and to describe the challenges he foresees in the coming year. “Fueled by a number of factors affecting education nationally,” these include “being pushed to focus narrowly on standardized tests for students and to distill the complex and collaborative act of teaching into a single number on a four-point scale.” The widening academic achievement gap in this country “between those who have and those who do not,” is another source of concern, and race issues, not surprisingly, also figure into the mix. “In a post-Ferguson world, there is an even more undeniable need for schools to talk honestly and openly about issues of race, culture, expectations, and equity,” Mr. Cochrane said. “We owe that to ourselves and to our students.” Technology’s “tidal waves of incredible promise for us as educators” also bring a “host of problems for us to avoid,” he warned, and “unprecedented levels of student stress” are worrying. “A recent American Psychology Study of over Continued on Page 12

Construction Halted at AvalonBay Site

Construction of the AvalonBay rental community at the former site of Princeton Hospital on Witherspoon Street has been temporarily halted due to the presence of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the site. “In response, AvalonBay took additional samples and has sent them out for further testing,” reads a press release from Princeton’s municipal administrator Marc D. Dashield. “The results are expected within two weeks.” Work on the 280-unit apartment and townhouse complex stopped a few weeks ago, and stockpiles of dirt and materials have been covered with plastic sheeting. The site is being wet down each day. “Why is this happening?,” asked neighborhood resident John Armonia. “A few of the residents in the area are really concerned. If there is contamination, neighbors are going to be be breathing some of this stuff now. “ Princeton’s health officer Jeff Grosser and environmental consultant Ira Whitman “have confirmed that these are the measures that need to be taken to safeguard the public’s health and safety,” the statement from the town reads. “Until the results of AvalonBay’s secondary testing are received and reviewed, the municipality will not speculate about the conditions

of the stockpiled materials. Princeton will, however, monitor the site daily to ensure that until such time as more information is available, AvalonBay continues to keep the stockpiled materials covered and continues to wet down the site for dust control.” Mr. Grosser has also confirmed that both the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Mercer County Department of Health are aware of the situation and have assigned a case number to the matter. “Mr. Grosser is in regular contact with the county health deparment,” the statement reads. Mr. Armonia said he was driving by the site a few days ago and saw people

walking around, taking some type of readings. “I asked them what was going on,” he said. “After a 15-minute conversation, one guy said we’re waiting for results on the soil for possible contamination. It seems something is going on and no one knows why.” Neighbors of the construction site, organized into the group Princeton Citizens for Sustainable Neighborhoods, were vocal in their opposition to elements of the development plan, which was revised. There was particular concern about potential contamination from the former hospital site, and the way any such contamination would be handled. Continued on Page 8

Princeton Children’s Book Festival Marks 10 Years of Words and Pictures It’s back, and it’s bigger and better than ever. “It” is the Princeton Public Library’s annual Children’s Book Festival, which will be held this year in Hinds Plaza on Saturday, September 19, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. This year is particularly special: it’s the festival’s 10th anniversary, and Youth Services Librarian Allison Santos, who has been its guiding hand since its inception,

“can’t believe it. Over the years the event just continues to grow, and this is our biggest event yet.” Some 105 authors and illustrators will be participating, reported Ms. Santos, coming from as far away as Australia (“we’ve gone international,” Ms. Santos said happily) and as close as Brooklyn, (the “hub of children’s literature”).

Corrections In last week’s page one story about Mayor Liz Lemper t’s monthly Meet the Mayor sessions, the implication was given that the meetings are held weekly; they are held on the last Friday of every month. In addition, contrary to the suggestion that the final report about the Bike Master Plan will be issued in “a couple of weeks,” the mayor wants to emphasize that the kick-off meeting has not been held yet and that the Master Plan will require “an extensive, months-long process involving substantial public input and lots of meetings.” It should also be noted that there was a misleading conflation of the WilliamsTransco Gas pipeline on Princeton Ridge with the road reconstruction project on Mount Lucas Road.

able to buy a home. Scrolling on line, she found herself returning to the same neighborhood, again and again. “I just kept coming back to Cadwalader Heights,” said Ms. Knudson, who is now the associate director of marketing in the University’s Development Office. Her husband, Henry Schilb, works at the Index of Christian Art in the Department of Art and Archaeology. “I couldn’t get over how beautiful the houses were,” she recalled. “They were all so different from each other. Plus, they were affordable.”

TOPICS Of the Town The couple purchased a house in the Trenton neighborhood, joining a diverse group of proud homeowners devoted to their enclave of artists, writers, builders, ministers, designers, information technology professionals, business owners, accountants, teachers, realtors, curators, veterans, community activists, and more. There are 75 houses in this 31-acre corner of the capital city, and 11 of them will be open for this year’s Cadwalader Heights Home and Garden Tour on Saturday, September 12 from noon to 5 p.m., rain or shine. The tour’s theme, “We Are Cadwalader Heights,” celebrates not only architecture and design, but the wideranging professions of its residents. Also prominently featured is food, with area restaurants including Palace of Asia, Malaga, Vincent’s Homemade Ice Cream, Cairo Cakes, Seasons 52, and Tea for All providing tastes and treats. A mid-tour ice cream stop will be set up in the garden of Eliz and Peter Yull. Most of the homes in Cadwalader Heights were built in the early 20th century. Olmsted laid out the neighborhood, the only residential community credited to him in New Jersey. Houses cover a wide range of styles and sizes, from cottages on the small side to an immense, 22-room mansion overlooking the park. According to information from the Cadwalader Heights Civic As-

sociation, Olmsted’s vision was to design a neighborhood that would appeal to a diverse group of people and foster a strong sense of community. It did then, and it still does today. In its manufacturing heyday, the area was home to local bigwigs. Early residents included the heads of several of the city’s potteries, as well as local builders, the principal of Trenton High School, and the candy maker William Allfather. Banker Mary Roebling lived in Cadwalader Heights for a few years. The neighborhood has also been home Continued on Next Page

to former New Jersey Governor Richard J. Hughes and Judge Philip Forman. Current residents include Mercer County Freeholder Sam Frisby, a producer for The Rachael Ray Show, an architect who has designed sets for Broadway shows, and an accomplished park and recreational facilities designer whose own garden is a multi-level oasis that borders the Delaware and Raritan Canal. The neighborhood’s house tours started 25 years ago and have been held most years since then. A portion of the proceeds go to the non-profit I Am Trenton Com mu n it y Fou ndat ion, which awards g rants to agencies, organizations or individuals in Trenton that serve Trenton residents. The head count for visitors has ranged from 350 to 500 in previous years, and planners are hoping for even more this year. “People are surprised to see this jewel of a neighborhood in Trenton,” said Ms. Knudson, who is chairing this year’s tour. “It has been a vibrant community since it was founded more than a century ago. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.” In addition to the houses, the tour includes the Trenton City Museum in Ellarslie Mansion, inside Cadwalader Park; and the historic Cadwalader-Asbury United Methodist Church, at 900 Stuyvesant Avenue. Tickets are $20 in advance at the neighborhood website www.cadwaladerheights. com or $25 on the day of the tour. Registration is at the church, where there is free parking. —Anne Levin

Police Blotter On September 2, at 9:18 a.m., a 24-year-old male from Philadelphia was arrested for possession of under 50 grams of marijuana during a car stop on Terhune Road. On May 22, at 4:04 p.m., a Castle Howard Court resident reported receiving a Federal Income Tax refund check for $33,900 in the mail on May 22, that she didn’t file for. She reported the check to the IRS. On Aug ust 7, at 8 :15 a.m., police responded to a house fire on Cameron Court. Smoke and flames were observed coming from the basement of the home. Princeton Fire Department, along with other local fire departments responded and extinguished the fire. The homeowners and neighbors were evacuated and no injuries were reported. The scene is being investigated by the Fire Marshal’s Office. Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

New Preserve in Hopewell Named for Mount Rose

A newly-preserved property straddling Carter Road has been named the Mount Rose Preserve after a nearby historic village and rocky summit, and a management plan for the 320 acres is now in the works. The land was permanently preserved last spring by the New Jersey Conservation

Foundation and Hopewell Valley Citizens Group with major funding from Mercer County, Hopewell Township, the New Jersey Green Acres program, and private contributions. The new preserve will provide passive recreation for local residents — including a critical link in the Lawrence Hopewell Trail — and prevent new development that could have added up to 4,000 cars per day to the area’s rural roads. “We’re pleased to honor the historic roots of this beautiful area and call this property the Mount Rose Preserve,” said Michele S. Byers, executive director of New Jersey Conservation Foundation. “We’re looking forward to the day when the community will be able to enjoy the Mount Rose Preser ve trails, including an extension of

He and an assistant are identifying plant communities and rare species, and evaluating impacts from invasive species and deer. The next step in planning will be to seek local input from the community, including trail creation and maintenance, other public uses for the land, habitat restoration, and protection of rare species. As part of the process, stakeholders will be interviewed and a public meeting held. To learn more about the

Mount Rose Preserve management plan, as well as to help with fundraising for the stewardship of the preserve, contact Kathleen Ward at Kathleen@njcons er v at ion.or g or ( 908 ) 997-0723. Mount Rose refers to both a summit on the Rocky Hill Ridge and the historic town that was established in the early 1800s at the crossroads of Carter Road, Pennington-Rocky Hill Road, and Cherry Valley Road. Some of the buildings still exist and have been listed on the registers of historic places. The Mount Rose Preserve was established in April, when the New Jersey Conservation Foundation and the Hopewell Valley Citizens Group led a partnership of a dozen public agencies and nonprofit organizations to acquire the former Western Electric/ AT&T property. The land — home to the first corporate park in the United States — was purchased for $7.5 m illion from owner Equus Capital Partners, formerly known as Berwind Property Group. The site had previously received preliminary site plan approval for 800,000 square feet of office space. Preserving the land settled years of litigation challenging the commercial development proposal. Major funding partners in the land’s preservation included lead funder Mercer County, Hopewell Township and the state Green Acres Program. Other partners included Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association, Hopewell Borough, Pennington Borough, Friends of Princeton Open Space, P r i nce ton, D & R Greenway Land Trust, and Lawrence Township. Private funds were donated from the Robert Wood Johnson Charitable 1962 Trust, Mary Owen Borden Foundation, Bristol Myers Squibb, and more than 150 local businesses, families, and individuals. Additional funds came from the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s Campaign for Conservation, which will be formally announced this fall. Mount Rose Preserve will be jointly owned and managed in a partnership with the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, and Hopewell Township. The New Jersey Conservation Foundation is a private nonprofit organization that preserves land and natural resources throughout New Jersey for the benefit of all. Since 1960, New Jersey Conservation has protected 125,000 acres of open space — from the Highlands to the Pine Barrens to the Delaware Bayshore, from farms to forests to urban and suburban parks.

Along with Labyrinth Books at 122 Nassau Street, and One Monument Hall, the church is taking part in Sustainable Princeton’s EnergySmart Buildings Campaign, which is made possible by a $35,000 grant from Sustainable Jersey. The idea is to track electricity, light and water usage, and analyze real time energy

data via energy monitors from the Princeton start-up WattVision. According to Sustainable Princeton’s executive director Diane Landis, the data will help commercial properties, religious institutions, and other organizations be more conscious of how they are using energy and help them learn how to improve their practices. “We wanted to get a crosssection of properties, and we were very thoughtful in choosing these buildings — a church, a local government building, a commercial property — all of which are very different and use ener-

gy differently,” Ms. Landis said. “We’ve also worked with Princeton University to collect real time energy data in their residence halls, and with the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed Association to collect data on energy usage in their new building and display it for people who go there.” The program was among several initiatives outlined by Ms. Landis and Sustainable Princeton energy director Christine Symington at a meeting of Princeton Council last month as part of a report on the organization’s future projects and its activities during the past year. The presentation included details on publication of a Sustainable Living Guide, a partnership with the Princeton Merchants Association regarding the use of plastic bags, an upcoming program called Neighborhood Ambassadors that will mobilize representatives of different sections of Princeton, and the compilation of energy data from the utility PSE&G. The EnergySmart campaign comes at an opportune time for the Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. The congregation is celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2016. “It’s coincidental, but we we welcome it,” said Denyse Leslie, an elder at the church in charge of buildings and grounds. “The church is very old. We still run oil out of the church, and we have draft problems. Our hope is that we’ll be able to be more energy efficient so we can help keep the church where it should be.” The church at 124 Witherspoon Street and it’s manse at 453 Walnut Lane, where pastor Muriel Burrows lives, are part of the campaign. An energy audit was recently completed on the manse, and the results have yet to come back. Feedback on the church itself is expected next month. The work began last March, Ms. Leslie said. “We want to make sure there aren’t any problems with the roof at the manse,” she added. “A nd at the church, we want to make sure the lighting is as efficient as it can be. A lot of savings can be had with the newer kinds of bulbs. And water is part of it too. All these things have been interesting to us. We were very pleased to see that we can have something in real time, looking at how our buildings are using energy.” Sustainable Princeton intends to expand the campaign. Letters have been sent to all Princeton commercial proper ty owners inviting them to complete a building inventory survey to enable the non-profit organization document areas of opportunity for energy efficiency. The organization, which was formed in 2009 to implement the town’s sustainability plan, has a goal of reducing energy from fossil fuels 20 percent by 2020, and waste to landfills 50 percent by 2016. “It’s hard,” said Ms. Landis. “We have a lot more to do as a community raising awareness and making real change that we can measure, but I think we are poised to do that.” —Anne Levin

Mailbox Chair of Shade Tree Commission Notes Princeton Has Tree and Shrub Ordinance

To the Editor: A recent letter in the Mailbox questioned how much longer we’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of trees in our “Tree City, USA”, with so many of them coming down. As current chair of the Princeton Shade Tree Commission, and having written over 1000 blog posts at PrincetonNatureNotes.org over the years, I’ve had a chance to see this issue from many sides. Though I write here as a citizen and not in my role as STC chair, it’s important to point out that Princeton has a tree and shrub ordinance that all homeowners and developers are subject to. Available online at PrincetonShadeTree.org, it stipulates among other things that removal of any tree with shoulder-height diameter of 8 inches or more requires approval by the town arborist. A visit by the arborist can often be an opportunity to learn more about your trees and how best to achieve your goals. There are many threats to our cooling, visually buffering, carbon-eating, wildlife-benefitting tree cover. To the attrition from bacterial leaf scorch and the root constrictions of hardened streetscapes is increasingly added the removal of healthy trees to make room for new, larger homes sprouting all over town, plus the looming devastation of Emerald Ash Borer. How to replace all these trees? At $250/tree, Princeton’s tree planting budget is insufficient to replace even the street trees being lost. The Shade Tree Commission is reviewing the tree ordinance to see if more could be done to protect the trees we have, and fund replacement of those taken down. In addition, many of us find hundreds of tree seedlings in our yards every year--oaks, maples, elms--though almost always in the wrong places. I see hope a couple doors down, where a neighbor transplanted two oak seedlings and an American elm out to a sunny spot in her front yard. Why, you might ask, plant tree species that might later succumb to notorious diseases? And why plant a tree at all, since they take so long to grow? But already, with some TLC her trees are twenty feet tall, shading the nearby asphalt, and screening her house from the afternoon sun. There’s a continuing debate on what kind of tree to plant. Natives are best for wildlife, since non-native trees are shunned by the insects needed by birds to feed their young in the spring. Often, I rule out a particular species for planting only to then find a magnificent specimen growing somewhere in town. Another neighbor is making his yard an orchard, with solar panels (they’re free now!) providing shade for his roof. In a way, having long had a mature urban canopy, we’ve missed out on the pleasure of seeing a young, healthy tree rising by leaps and bounds towards maturity. As with watching children grow, it all happens much faster than we expect. To plant a tree, or to transplant one that has sprouted elsewhere, is to believe in the future.

exercise -- and savings! -- that bicycling offers. However, getting around town on a bike can be daunting; many of our roads seem friendlier to four wheels than to two wheels (and/or legs). Friends say, “I’d like to take my bike to places in town, but there are too many cars--it just doesn’t seem safe.” And when it comes to our kids, who might relish some transportation independence, it’s even harder to discount concerns about safety. So we drive them everywhere, adding more cars to the road. Wouldn’t Princeton residents be proud to have a town that is bike-friendly and hence safer for all? Having a Bicycle Master Plan would help improve our quality of life. With this plan, whenever capital projects in our municipality are undertaken, per the Princeton Community Master Plan, these projects will follow guidelines for Complete Streets—streets that are designed to serve all types of constituents, from pedestrians to pedal pushers to powered Plymouths & Priuses. For this study, we are encouraged to fill out a short questionnaire about biking, on www.princetonnj.gov. (Just search for “Bicycle Master Plan” and download the Comment Sheet.) According to the website, there will be a public kick-off meeting in September, though the date hasn’t been announced yet. I hope we’ll all hear more soon about this next step that Princeton can take toward having Complete Streets. CALLIE HANCOCK Laurel road

On Behalf of Princeton Housing Authorities Staff, Acknowledging Commitment Of PRS Administrators

To the Editor: On behalf of the Princeton Housing Authorities (PHA) management staff, and particularly the parents and school age children who reside at our Karen Court and redding Circle housing sites, the Board of Commissioners wish to recognize and acknowledge a commitment fulfilled by administrators of the Princeton regional School (PrS) system. Over the past year the PHA, PrS, Mayor Liz Lempert, and Councilman Lance Liverman have had several meetings to address minority education in Princeton, specifically the need to address transportation issues that would enable children who live in public housing to attend after school programming for additional instruction and tutoring. Not only did Steve Cochrane, Superintendent of Schools, recognize and support the important need to address the minority educational achievement gap in Princeton, he also provided the leadership needed to address the problem. We want to give special recognition to Kim Mcreynolds, Grants Program Specialist, for her endearing commitment to “no child left behind” who worked tirelessly to keep the ball rolling until a successful solution was achieved. Her love and genuine concern for all children was evident throughout the entire process. To Donna Bradin, the new and very able Transportation Supervisor, we say thank you, for working to identify driver(s) for the afternoon run. Because our collective future is inextricably tied to the educational success of not some, but all of our youth…it is both comforting and refreshing to know that our school system demonstrates a thorough understanding of this important truth. LEIGHTON NEWLIN Chair, PHA

Having a Bicycle Master Plan Would Help Improve Quality of Life in Princeton Town Noise Restrictions Should Follow Ordinance Crafted by New Jersey DEP To the Editor:

I’ve just heard some good news about our town. Who knew that a Bicycle Master Plan is in the works for Princeton? Apparently the Municipality has received a grant from NJDOT to conduct a planning study of circulation that would feed into the Princeton Community Master Plan. Sounds great--and the public’s input is encouraged! (My thanks to the new Princeton Community Collective group for bringing this to our attention; find the PCC on Meetup. com.) And why should you participate in this study? As a “non-recreational cyclist” who tries to ride a bike to work or shop instead of driving a car, I enjoy the fresh air,

To the Editor: A hot issue over the summer has been excessive noise from leaf blowers and lawn mowers. Excessive noise is a bummer! What should be allowed, really? A noise control ordinance was adopted in August, 2014 by the Princeton Town Council, as Statute 2014-35. It limits the use of leaf blowers and similar devices to between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. on Sundays. It also stipulates that they must be “adequately muffled.” As I see it, these restrictions are too weak. Consider a

leaf blower that produces up to 75 decibels of noise at a distance of 50 feet. Its use could reasonably be permitted under Statute 2014-35, since the 75 decibel figure is in the right ballpark for a properly functioning leaf blower (although there is certainly significant variation among different models). For comparison, let’s note that the former Princeton Borough code, now superseded by Statute 2014-35, capped noise levels at 65 decibels “at the point of annoyance.’’ 65 decibels is a lot quieter than 75 decibels. It is roughly the upper limit of the sound level of a normal conversation. The former Borough code also specified quiet hours, between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. every night, when noise was capped at 50 decibels. That is about the noise level of a quiet office. Princeton Township code, also now superseded by Statute 2014-35, had essentially the same caps on noise levels and the same quiet hours. Both the old Borough code and the old Township code additionally restricted the use of blowers, using specific language similar to the relevant parts of Statute 2014-35. What I’d like to emphasize is that the decibel level cap was a useful part of the old code that synergized with other restrictions to maintain a reasonable level of peace and quiet. If leaf blowers and lawn mowers are today’s noise pollution culprits, what will the next culprit be? I don’t know, but I do have a suggestion. Let’s adopt the model noise ordinance crafted by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. This ordinance gives a comprehensive treatment of allowed sound levels, including the 65 decibel cap, quiet hours, and guidelines for enforcement. West Windsor recently adopted the NJDEP model ordinance, and in doing so it joined more than 80 other municipalities across the state which have noise control ordinances on the books that the NJDEP has approved. The NJDEP recognizes that municipalities might need to revise its model ordinance before adoption: For example, the 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. quiet hours from our old code are longer than theirs and could be better for us going forward. The NJDEP model ordinance, strengthened as Town Council may see fit, should help us all enjoy a quiet Princeton both now and in the future. The NJDEP website http://www.nj.gov/dep/enforcement/noise-intro.html is a useful starting point for learning more. If you’d like to join in advocating for stronger noise control ordinance in Princeton, please e-mail me at quietprinceton@gmail.com. STEvE GUBSEr Queenston Place

Books Friends Library Benefit “Beyond Words” Features Guest Speaker Frank Rich Author, commentator and New York Magazine writerat-large Frank rich will be the guest speaker at “Beyond Words: An Evening to Benefit Princeton Public Library,” which will take place Saturday, September 26, at Nassau Presbyterian Church, the library and Hinds Plaza. Organized by The Friends of the Princeton Public Library, the benefit is one of the largest fundraising events on the library’s calendar. Proceeds provide books and other materials, public programming, community outreach and more. The evening begins at 6 p.m. at the church with a talk by Mr. rich, who will speak about the intersection of art and politics. His books include Hot Seat — Theater Criticism for The New York Times, 1980–1993 (1998); Ghost Light — A Memoir (2000); and The Greatest Story Ever Sold — The Decline and Fall of Truth from 9/11 to Katrina (2006). “We are delighted that Frank rich is joining us as the featured speaker for this year’s Beyond Words gala,” said library Executive Director Leslie Burger. “So many of us have long enjoyed his political and cultural commentary – both in The New York Times and now in New York Magazine. We look forward to the insight he will share as our speaker and to all of the other events the Friends have planned as part of this wonderful evening.” Following the talk, the gala will continue with dinner and dancing on Hinds Plaza, weather permitting, or in the library. Dinner will be catered by Terra Momo restaurant Group and served

Frank Rich family style “in celebration of all the ways the library brings the greater Princeton community together,” said Ms. Burger. Also part of the event will be silent and live auctions featuring intimate dinners in local homes with talks by acclaimed authors; distinctive events, performances and tours in Princeton and New York; and many other special items. “We are very grateful to The Gould Group of Wells Fargo Advisors for being our presenting sponsor again this year, to our caterers Terra Momo for their generous contribution toward what will surely be a wonderful dinner, and to all of our corporate sponsors,” said Dana Molina, benefit chair. “Individual, corporate and volunteer support is what makes Beyond Words possible.” Longtime library supporters Margaret Griffin and Scott Sillars are honorary chairs of Beyond Words this year. Tickets may be purchased online at princetonlibrary. org/friends/Benefit.

Case Histories: Marking Tolstoy’s Birthday with Oliver Sacks and the Car That Runs On Music

“I

f I live.” These words translated from the Russian can be found at the end of nearly every dated entry in the 1895-1899 journals of Leo Tolstoy, who was born on this date, September 9, in 1828, and died at 82 on November 20, 1910. I wonder what Oliver Sacks, who died at 82 ten days ago, would make of Tolstoy’s daily acknowledgment of his mortality. Sacks’s maternal grandfather, who fled Russia at 16 to avoid being drafted into the Cossack army, might know. Perhaps it was nothing more than an abbreviated prayer. After “If I live” July 31, 1896, Tolstoy is quite literal, writing later the same day: “I am alive. It is evening now. It is past four. I am lying down and cannot fall asleep. My heart aches. I am tired out. I hear through the window — they play tennis and are laughing.” Short, simple statements of fact. You can almost hear him breathing. While the most familiar image of Tolstoy may be the photograph from 1908 of a white-bearded patriarch seated on a rattan chair, one leg crossed over the other, very much the ruler of his domain, I prefer the word-pictures by his neighbor in the Crimea, Maxim Gorky, who used to see him along the coast, “a smallish, angular figure in a gray, crumpled, ragged suit and crumpled hat … sitting with his head on his hands, the wind blowing the silvery hairs of his beard through his fingers.” This sounds more like the man who would write “If I live” and “I am alive” in his journal. But then, in the same paragraph, Tolstoy becomes “the old magician” in whose “musing motionlessness” Gorky feels “something fateful, magical, something which went down into the darkness beneath him and stretched up like a search-light into the blue emptiness above the earth.” In a Nov. 17 journal entry from 1897, Tolstoy writes, “Why not suppose that all of us are particles of consciousness of other higher beings, such as we are going to be?” Watching Tolstoy on the shore, Gorky imagines that “the stones will begin to move and cry out, everything around him will come to life, acquire a voice, and speak in their different voices of themselves, of him, against him,” and Gorky thinks, “I am no longer an orphan on the earth so long as this man lives on it.” The Car That Runs On Music After reading the essays in Vintage Sacks (2004) in the week since his death, I’ve been pondering whether the renowned neurologist would have had any clinical interest in someone who believes his Honda CRV hears and responds to the music playing on its sound system. Named Moby after Herman Melville’s whale, my soulmate has come back to me alive and well, you could even say reborn, after a week and a half in Gino’s Auto Body Shop. Sacks could title our case history The Man who Mistook his Car for a — what? Creature? Sentient being? Or Cat — if it has to rhyme with Hat, as in someone hip to everything that “aspires to the condition of music.” Not since the day Moby was brand new, fresh off the Honda lot in fall 1999, has he shone with as richly deeply polished a Sherwood Forestness of gleaming greeness as he did after the artisans at Gino’s performed major cosmetic surgery on his right rear flank. Thanks to them, he’s been delivered from the

humilating damage done by the sideswipe he suffered two months ago making a left turn on Rt 518 from Rt 206. Were I actually consulting with Dr. Sacks, I might deny that I really down-deep think that Moby has feelings and that car and owner have bonded in the human or spiritual sense of the word, nor would I testify in court that Moby’s performance on the road has anything to do with the CD of the moment; nor did I, in fact, tell the traffic court judge in Hillsborough that at the time of the accident the music playing, “Father Time” by the Finnish speed metal group Stratovarius, was racing along at the sonic equivalent of 500 miles an hour, which may be why I cut a left thinking I could avoid the white Lincoln rocketing hellbent through that infamous intersection.

Tolstoy to the Rescue The more I read of Sacks, the more I think he’d condone this symbiotic man-music-machine relationship, since music so often plays a transformative role in his work, and given his Russian ancestry, it’s no surprise to find him occasionally communing with the author of War and Peace. When the 41-year-old neurologist was stranded alone on a mountain in Norway with a badly broken leg and night coming on, he summoned up Tolstoy’s story about a man who undergoes a spiritual awakening after bringing a peasant back from the brink of hypothermia by lying on top of him. Sack’s memory of the story comes with a line from the Bible: “Two are better than one … for if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, for he hath not another to help

him up.” For Sacks, the “other” was the belief that Tolstoy was keeping company with him as he splinted his leg with an umbrella and slid down the precipice, finding his way with the aid of “melody, rhythm, and music.” Previously, he’d “muscled” himself along; now he was “musicked along … guided by a sort of marching or rowing song, sometimes the Volga Boatmen’s Song,” sometimes a “monotonous chant” of his own. Little Songs Tolstoy shows up again in the title piece of Sacks’s most famous book, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, about Dr. P., a musician and music teacher who once did actually reach for his wife’s head thinking it was his hat, and who when in the street “might pat the heads of water hydrants and parking me-

ters, taking these to be the heads of children.” Sacks uses Tolstoy as a way of determining whether his patient’s “internal visualisation” was equally deranged: “Thinking of the almost hallucinatory intensity with which Tolstoy visualises and animates his characters, I questioned Dr P. about Anna Karenina. He could remember incidents without difficulty, had an undiminished grasp of the plot, but completely omitted visual characteristics, visual narrative, and scenes.” According to Dr. P’s wife, he was able to get around in his dysfunctional state “by making little songs about what he is doing — dressing, washing, or eating. If the song is interrupted he simply stops, till he finds in his sensorium a clue on how to proceed. This cantatory method of compensating allows P. to function undetected in his professional and personal life.”

Need I say how nicely this idea chimed with the state of mind of the man who mistook his car for a music lover? The method in my madness is nothing if not cantatory. Dr. P. found his way through the world as Moby and I find our way through the world, with music. The Other Moby Moby’s namesake and Herman Melville’s great-great-great-grand nephew Richard Melville Hall, was born, as it happens, 50 years ago this Friday, September 11. I knew nothing of his music until a day or two after I purchased my CRV when my curiosity about the other Moby led me to slide the disc of his 1995 album Everything Is Wrong into the CD player. As I’ve written in previous columns, the CRV’s pick up had been a trifle disappointing in the early days, especially when faced with the steep upgrade on 518 just north of Rocky Hill. As soon as “Feeling So Real,” which is nothing less than recorded ecstasy, began playing, Moby swallowed that hill in one great roaring gulp. That’s when I knew I was driving a very special machine. This same Richard Melville Hall, who helped Dr. Sacks with a music therapy program called the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, tells an interviewer from Origin magazine “that music was a nice thing that I enjoyed and liked making, but it wasn’t a serious healing modality. What Dr. Sacks has proven is that music is actually a quantifiable, profound healing modality.” All I know is my Moby drives as well at 114,000 miles as he did the day we crested that hill. And the music on a recent trip to Doylestown and back, the first since the crash, sounded glorious. Credits used the 1917 Knopf edition of The Journals of Leo Tolstoy 1895-1899, translated and introduced by Rose Strunsky, who knew Tolstoy and remembers “the deep-set eyes and the shaggy eyebrows of that allknowing seer, as he sat on the verandah of his home in Yasna Polyana one May afternoon in 1906.” The Maxim Gorky quotes are from his Reminiscences of Tolstoy, Chekhov, Andreyev (Dover Publications 1946). —Stuart Mitchner

1,000 high school students revealed that 27 percent reported feeling ‘extremely stressed,’” Mr. Cochrane pointed out. “And a 2014 study of over 200,000 college freshman revealed that only half reported average or above average levels of emotional health. The children in our charge are racing faster and faster to catch the brass ring of college admissions only to bring to it historically high levels of anxiety and depression.” Using the art of sailing as a metaphor, Mr. Cochrane, who is entering his third year as district superintendent,

suggested ways in which the Princeton Public Schools might “navigate” these diffi cult waters in the months to come, including becoming “a flagship for others to follow.” Guideposts include having a strategic plan in place for the “next three to five years,” and, more succinctly, adhering to the district’s singlesentence mission statement “to prepare all of our students to lead lives of joy and purpose as knowledgeable, creative, and compassionate citizens of a global society.” First, though, there was a new school year to start, and by Monday afternoon Mr. Cochrane was eagerly anticipating “the return of

Lewis Center for the Arts Presents “Seuls en Scène”

P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y’s Lewis Center for the Arts, Department of French and Italian, and L’Avant-Scène will present the fourth annual Seuls en Scène French Theater Festival, which will take place from September 24 through October 24 at venues across the University’s campus. All performances are free and open to the public. While performances will be in French, three productions will include English subtitles: Jaz, Le 20 novembre, and De mes propres mains. Marking the launch of the fifteenth 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 features an exciting line-up, including a play from the 2012 Avignon Theater Festival, a preview of a new production to premiere at the 2016 Avignon Festival, and works by some of t he greatest contem porary playwrights in Europe and the Francophone world. Seuls en Scène has been organized by Florent Masse, Senior Lecturer in the Department of French and Italian and director of L’Avant-Scène. Astrid Bayiha, Lena Paugam, Mathurin Voltz, Bertrand Usclat and Pauline Clément, recent graduates of the Paris National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts (CNSAD), will perform works begun during their studies. Seuls en Scène provides these early career artists with the chance to continue refining their work and to perform internationally for the first time. Jeune Théâtre National of the French Ministry of Culture, the organization that supports recent graduates of the leading national French drama schools, will partner with the Festival in order to bring these promising artists to Princeton. Kicking off the festival, Lena Paugam will direct Mathurin Voltz in Le 20 novembre by celebrated contemporar y Swedish playwright Lars Norén on September 24 and 25 at

6 p.m. Based on the diary of 18 -year-old Sebastian Bosse, who entered his former middle school with a firearm and explosives in the German city of Emsdetten on November 20, 2006, the play gives voice to social outcasts and invites audiences to reflect on the darkest aspects of contemporary societies. The sitespecific performance was created last spring in Brittany and will be presented in a classroom on campus with limited seating. Ayouba Ali will direct Astrid Bayiha and Caroline Rabaliatti in Jaz on September 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. Written by Ivorian writer Koffi Kwahulé, currently one of the most popular African playwrights, Jaz tells the story of the title character who lives in an abandoned housing project with a clogged communal bathroom that no one will repair. She seems to be responding to a cross-examination, but there is no interlocutor present. Jaz has lost her identity and her virginity following a rape in a public bathroom. Reflecting the jazz music that she personifies, Jaz tries to extricate herself from the resulting chaos. Jaz tackles the question of how to reconstruct the self, to voice wrongs, and to denounce them by fully exposing them. Comme la lune, a fairy tale for teenagers as well as adults, will be performed on September 29 and 30 at 7 p.m. A new play by Bertrand Usclat and Pauline Clément, Comme la lune comes directly from Studio Hébertot in Paris, where it has been in development and performance this past summer. Clément takes on the performance of all characters in the play, starting with Princess Daisy, who will soon come of age but suffers from a quirky and “off the wall” personality. A constant target of mockery and blame from her guardian, she endures a life for which she is not prepared. On September 26 and 27 at 8 p.m., Rodolphe Dana, the artistic director of Collectif Les Possédés and the newly appointed head of Théâtre de Lorient – CDN,

15 • TOWN TOPICS, PRINCETON, N.J., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEmbER 9, 2015

will perform in Loin d’eux, the story of a family coping with the grief of a child who has left home. Based on the first novel by celebrated contemporary writer Laurent Mauvignier,Loin d’Eux lies at the border between theater and literature. Dana and his director David Clavel focus on the first part of the novel, which crystalizes the family’s tensions, fears, and doubts. Most Festival performances will take place in the Marie and Edward Matthews ’53 Acting Studio at 185 Nassau Street. Admission to all events is free, but reservations are strongly recommended and can be sent to ftw@princeton.edu, subject line: “Festival.” For a complete performance schedule, visit www. princeton.edu/fit/resources.

Family Seeks Safe Haven in High-Octane Political Thriller

be comfortable accommodations. However, shock sets in when the Dwyers’ check into the Imperial Lotus hotel where nothing in their suite seems to work: their cell phones, the land line, the TV, not even the lights. Still, those inconveniences pale in comparison to the threat to their very existence as a result of the coup d’etat in which the country’s prime minister (Vuthichard Photphurin) is assassinated. In the wake of the murder, gangs of rebels start roaming around the country looking for Westerners whom they lynch on the spot. To the Dwyer family’s horror, the marauders are going door-to-door right inside their hotel. As a stranger in a strange land with no links to the outside world, Jack realizes that he has to rely on his wits to save his family. He decides to seek sanctuary at the American embassy, which is easier said than done because the streets are crawling with Yankeehating insurgents. Nonetheless, with the gangs closing in, he leads Annie and the girls to the roof of their building to begin their perilous journey to the embassy. Directed by John Erik Dowdle (As Above, So Below), No Escape is a highoctane action thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat because of the Dwyers’ close brushes with death at every turn. There are convincing performances from Owen Wilson, Lake Bell, Claire Geare, and Sterling Jerins as the terrified family, along with Pierce Brosnan. Excellent (HHHH). Rated R for profanity, graphic violence, and rape. Running time: 101 minutes. LET’S GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE WE GET KILLED: The Dwyer family led by Jack (Owen Wilson, left) Distributor: The Weinstein who is holding his daughter Lucy (Sterling Jerins) and his wife Annie (Lake Bell), who is carrying Company. Beeze (Claire Geare) flee to the roof of their hotel as the beginning of their perilous flight to a safe —Kam Williams sanctuary at the American embassy.

fter the company he works for files for bankruptcy, Jack Dwyer (Owen Wilson) accepts a position overseas with Cardiff, a transnational water bottling corporation. Dwyer regrets that his new job will uproot his wife, Annie (Lake Bell), and their young daughters, Beeze (Claire Geare) and Lucy (Sterling Jerins). During the long flight to Southeast Asia, we find the girls fretting about whether they’ll like their new home and if their dad’s new company will go bankrupt. Luckily, Beeze strikes up a conversation with a fellow passenger (Pierce Brosnan) about his assortment of curious face and body scars. Fortunately for them, the mysterious stranger, Mr. Hammond, happens to be quite familiar with the family’s destination point. Upon landing at the airport, he helps them avoid the shady street hustlers lurking around the terminal. Instead, he directs them to an honest cabbie (Sahajak Boonthanakit) who takes them to what they expect to

Floca (Locomotive); Michael Buckley (The Sisters Grimm and the N.E.R.D.S. book series); Jerry Pallotta (Eyeball Alphabet Book), and “queen of tween” author Wendy Mass are just a few of the talents who will be making appearances on Saturday. “When we first discussed the possibility of sponsoring a children’s book festival more than 10 years ago it was one of many ideas that we thought would bring the then-new library alive for the community,” recalled Princeton Public Library Director Leslie Burger a few days ago. “We had no idea what to expect, nor any sense that it would be more than a one time event. But here we are ten years later with this notto-be missed children’s book event that is a day of celebration for the thousands

of readers who attend, for the authors and illustrators who connect with their readers in an intimate and festive location, and for the library and its staff.” Ms. Santos concurs. “Everyone in Youth Services is involved in planning and preparation in one form or another, so it really is a whole Youth Services endeavor,” she said, citing, in particular, this year’s contributions of Caroline Quinones, a new library associate. It goes beyond Youth Services, she notes: “Everyone in the library is so supportive.” As for the authors and illustrators, said Ms. Santos, “everyone wants to be here.” In addition to keeping a good mix of authors and illustrators, “we are always trying bring in new talent,” and although the event typically features an all “star roster” of children’s book creators,

Ms. Santos is careful to give just-starting-out authors and illustrators a chance to participate. “It’s so easy to think of all the big name people who are out there — and of course you want to get great names — but we also recognize that there are so many fabulous new authors and illustrators who have just published their first or second book, and they’re a perfect fit,” she observed. Ms. Santos also draws inspiration for her choices from the American Library Association’s call for greater representation of diversity in picture books. Readers should “be able to see themselves in multicultural depictions,” she observed, and participants are selected with that in mind. “The conversation about it goes on all year long,” said Ms. Santos. “People will come up to me and tell me

how wonderful the event is — then they give me their own wish list.” Relationships cultivated with authors and illustrators over the years are a particular source of pleasure, and she sometimes even taps into them for the ultimate in reference help when she’s approached by “a parent who’s completely stumped” about something. While acknowledging that the event “does tend to generate more interest in families with young people,” Ms. Santos also wisely observes that, “you’re never too old for picture books.” W hen asked about her thoughts on the Children’s Book Festival, Ms. Burger, who will be retiring at the end of the year, wistfully observed that “This is the beginning of many ‘lasts’ for me. It’s a day to smile and to be thankful for our enthusiastic community of

The Cavaliers, though, scored a goal in the last minute of regulation and then tallied in overtime to pull out a 4-3 win over the Tigers.

outshot 26 -6, the Tigers displayed that dedication and focus as they battled Virginia hard from the opening whistle. “We came out as a completely different team,” asserted Tornetta. “We were so strong, we worked together, and our vision improved 100 percent. If we can improve this much between one game to the next, at the end of the season, we are going be unstoppable and a team to be reckoned with.” Jumping out to 1-0 lead on a Hailey Reeves goal 15 minutes into the contest gave Princeton a strong boost. “It changed the mentality, as anyone on the sidelines could see,” said Tornetta, reflecting on the tally by junior back Reeves, which came off a penalty corner. “Once we get that first goal in, we are relentless. We keep going, we don’t give up any easy ball and the most important thing is that we function as a unit. There is not one person who stands out; whatever we do, we do together.” The Tigers worked together well on penalty corners all game long and knotted the game at 2-2 midway through the second half as Tornetta picked up an assist on a Cat Caro goal that came from another set piece. “It is something we take a lot of pride in and we practice them like crazy,” said Tornetta. “We all know if we are given that opportunity, we will execute.” With 9:39 left in regulation, Tornetta executed on a penalty stroke, lifting a shot over the Virginia goalie to give the Tigers a 3-2 lead. “There is a lot of pressure because this could be the game winner,” said Tornetta, reflecting on the stroke. “There are so many different things going through my mind but I just remember what the coaches instruct, they say take a deep breath. You walk up, you know where you are going and you stick to that and basically tune out everything. You are chosen for a reason and we all believe in you and to know that I had the entire team behind me, that is what drove me to do my best.” In the overtime, Tornetta showed her dr ive, making two defensive saves as she cleared shots that got

through the Princeton defense. “Our goalkeeper A nya Gersoff is absolutely phenomenal and I knew that she made the first save and she is the last person I want to let the ball get behind,” said Tornetta. “I don’t care if the ball hits my body or my face or anything, this ball is not going into the net because she worked so hard. I was honestly willing to do anything to not let that happen.” P r i nce ton h e ad coach Kristen Holmes-Winn liked the hard work she got from her players in the Virginia game. “I think that every minute we have been on the field, we have gotten better,” said Holmes-Winn. “I loved to see our fitness in the second half; that really showed through big time. We really controlled the bulk of the play in the second half so I was really happy with that.” Holmes -Winn acknowledged that defensive lapses hurt the Tigers down the stretch against the Cavaliers. “It comes down to situational awareness, we made some really poor decisions in the back end in the second half,” said Holmes Winn, whose team outshot Virginia 12-5 in the second half. “When you have players like No. 8 (Tara Vittese), she is the best player in the country in my view and that is what she does. We were able to slow her down a little bit.” With Princeton playing at Bucknell on September 12

and at Delaware a day later, Holmes-Winn believes her squad is headed in the right direction. “It was tough to take a thumping like that on Friday but they said in the locker room before this game that it was about the details every moment, it is about the progress, it is about where we end up,” said HolmesWinn. “Every time we step on the field, we have to get the most out of it. I think this group is a really good group and I know that they are going to keep working. They

are very, very focused on progress and development. I know they are going to keep getting better.” Tornetta, for her par t, is thrilled to be with the Princeton group. “We are just an amazing team with the leadership of the seniors, juniors, and sophomores,” said Tornetta. “They are such a unique, caring, and loving group of girls that have each other’s back no matter what. It is something I am blessed to be part of.” —Bill Alden

Hitting Some Turbulence After Promising 2-0 Start, Tiger Women’s Soccer Falls to Rutgers, Duquesne After rolling to a 2-0 start, outscoring its foes 8-1 in the process, the Princeton University women’s soccer team hit some bumps in the road last week. On Thursday, Princeton hosted No. 22 Rutgers and battled the Scarlet Knights to a scoreless stalemate at half. But yielding two goals early in the second half, the Tigers went on to a 3-0 setback. Three days later, Princeton hosted Duquesne determined to bounce back from the loss to Rutgers. The Tigers took a 1-0 lead on a goal by junior star Tyler Lussi and forged ahead

2-1 early in the second half on a tally by precocious freshman Mimi Asom. But once again, Princeton sputtered down the stretch, surrendering two unanswered goals on the way to a 3-2 defeat. In reflecting on the Rutgers loss, Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll was pleased with the way things started for his squad. “I was actually happy with the first half, we wanted to sit in a little bit and pick them up near the bottom of the circle,” said Driscoll. “They did the same thing as we did because it was so hot. We didn’t get too

stretched too high, we didn’t put a lot of pressure on the back area on purpose, just not to play into a counterattack and the flanks. We created three good chances that we didn’t convert.” Rutger s, t hough, con verted twice in a 77-second span early in the second half to seize momentum. “In the second half in the first few minutes, the game was changed,” said Driscoll. “It was a little bit of everything, you can’t always blame us. There has to be some credit given to them for how they did it. They are a very good team. In terms of our decision-making in the second half, it wasn’t great. That falls on everybody; it falls on the players, it falls on the coaches. It is something we need to address, that is what the games are about, to get better.” Despite falling behind 3-0 by the 57:18 mark, the Tigers kept pressing forward, generating some good scoring chances down the stretch. “We didn’t give up, that is a positive, it is a gritty group of girls,” said Driscoll. “Your true colors come out when you lose, not when you win. When you win everybody is happy. How you respond after you lose is a big difference so that is what we are going to wait and see.” Driscoll is confident that his squad will respond well going forward. “We showed a lot of promise, we showed a lot of discipline and organization, and then the wheels came off a little bit in the second half so it is a learning experience,” said Driscoll, whose team hosts Delaware on September 10 before playing at Villanova on September 13. “ We j u s t n e e d to g e t back in a positive mental state and make sure that we learned the lessons we need and we improve. It is as simple as that and we will.” —Bill Alden

varsity eight and last week the two were in adjacent boats in Aiguebelette, France, for the 2015 World Rowing Championships W8+ final. Robbins stroked the USA eight to a 10th straight world championship, while Wilkinson stroked the Canadian eight to a bronze medal. Those two joined 2006 NCA A champion Kate Bertko ’06 as Princeton medalists at the World Championships, the biggest rowing competition until the 2016 Summer Olympics. Bertko took bronze in the lightweight single sculls in a time 7:34.58. It was the second straight third-place finish for Bertko in the world competition. In the women’s 8, the U.S. posted a winning time of 6:05.65, about three seconds faster than New Zealand. That left Wilkinson and the Canadian boat to try and catch Great Britain for the final medal spot. Canada made a move during the third split and caught t he Br it ish boat by t he 1500-meter mark; it held on for bronze by about one second in 6:09.05. Eight other current or former Princeton rowers who competed at the World Championships, and each made at least the ‘B’ final in their respective competitions. The t wo current Tiger rowers who took part were men’s heavyweight senior Martin Barakso and women’s open junior Georgie Howe. Barakso rowed with former Princeton captain Michael Evans in the Canada men’s pair and finished sixth in B final with a time of 6:42.15. Howe competed for Australia in the W8+ that took second in the B final in 6:06.85. Gevvie Stone ‘07 placed fourth in the women’s single sculls. Former men’s lightweight national champion Robin Prendes ’11 rowed in the lightweight men’s pair, which was coached by current Princeton lightweight assistant coach Bill Manning. The pair made a late move past Australia to finish fifth in 6:37.46. Two former Tigers won their respective B finals. G l e n n O c h a l ’0 8, w h o both rowed and coached at Pr inceton helped the men’s four win the B final in 5:53.45. Former lightweight captain Tyler Nase ’13 was in the lightweight four, which rallied from fourth place early to win its B final in 5:55.03. Former heavyweight captain Ian Silveira ’12 rowed in the quadruple sculls, and his USA boat took sixth in the B final in 5:52.84.

INVASIVE EMERALD ASH BORER DETECTED IN NEW JERSEY With Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES, INC. New Jersey Department of Agricultural has confirmed that this invasive beetle that attacks and kills Ash trees is active in five New Jersey communities: Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Westampton, Ewing and West Windsor. This insect is a fast-moving, highly destructive invasive pest, which was discovered in Michigan in 2002 and is now present in twentythree US States and has killed tens of millions of trees. The adult Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a metallic green insect about one-half inch long and one-eighth inch wide. The female beetles lay eggs on the bark of Ash trees, these eggs hatch and the larvae bore into the bark to the fluid conducting vessels, cutting off the flow of nutrients and eventually killing the tree. The death can occur as rapidly as one year but normally takes place three to five years following initial infestation. EAB symptoms that you may see include:

•Earlier than usual fall coloration •Dieback of branches with sparse foliage •New branches sprouting from the lower trunk •Woodpeckers feeding on infested trunk •D-shaped exit holes in trunk Report signs of the beetle to the Department of Agriculture at (609) 406-6939 How to treat for EAB: •Treatment depends on whether your tree is showing symptoms (therapeutic treatment) or is still healthy (preventative treatment) •Therapeutic treatment for trees already exhibiting symptoms would be a fast moving insecticide applied directly to the trunk •Preventive treatment utilizes a professional strength insecticide applied as a liquid soil injection at the base of the tree

For an inspection and evaluation of your Ash trees by a WOODWINDS Arborist, please contact us at (609) 924-3500 or treecare@ woodwindsassociates.com “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin” - William Shakespeare 1967 – 2015 48 Years of caring for New Jersey’s trees Thank you!

There was some apprehension around the Princeton High football team as it entered the 2014 season. Coming off a nightmarish 0-10 campaign the year before, PHS was looking to prove that it could be competitive. The Little Tigers proved that and a whole lot more, producing a remarkable reversal of fortune, going 8-2 on the way to the West Jersey Football League’s Valley Division title and an appearance in the state playoffs. As the squad prepares for the upcoming season, which kicks off on September 12 when PHS plays at Hamilton, there is a different attitude around the program. “I do think there is a little bit of swagger, which is good,” said PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher. “The guys are a little loud, that is not bad for a football team every once in a while.

Whereas before last year, it was we don’t know what to expect. We were just trying to be competitive obviously and so everybody was a little nervous.” One of PHS’s top competitors is relentless star running back Rory Helstrom, who shredded opposing defenses last fall with his breakaway speed, elusiveness, and power. “He will be a feature back,” said Gallagher of Helstrom. “We are excited to have him back, he accounted for 2000 yards last year and 21 touchdowns. We think he is just a really special player.” PHS has added another special player in Alex Solopenkov, a transfer from North Brunswick. “He is just a talented hard working young man and we are so excited to have him in the program,” said Gallagher. “He is actually a wide re-

With Goalie Lindenfelder Thriving in Leading Role, PHS Boys’ Soccer Edges Westfield 1-0 in Opener Owen Lindenfelder and his teammates on the Princeton High boys’ soccer team knew they were facing a challenge when they hosted Westfield last Saturday afternoon in the season opener for both squads. “Looking at the preseason rankings, we are two of the top 20 teams in the state,”

said PHS senior goalkeeper Lindenfelder, noting that PHS was ranked sixth and Westfield was 16th. “It was definitely a great first test.” The teams lived up to their rankings, displaying some superb end-to-end soccer as they battled to a scoreless stalemate through regulation. PHS prevailed late in

the first overtime when senior defender and tri-captain Chris Harla blasted a penalty kick over the Westfield keeper into the top corner to give the Little Tigers a 1- 0 victor y. The penalty kick came after PHS senior Nick Halliday was fouled in the box by a Westfield defender. “It was a really intense first game, they were excellent,” said Lindenfelder, who made an excellent diving save in overtime to help PHS survive. “Having this test early on is going to help us for the rest of the season and hopefully bring us more success later.” Lindenfelder tipped his hat to the excellent effort from the defensive unit playing in front of him. “Chris (Harla) is probably the best defender in New Jersey right now; Edgar (Morales) is in his first year playing center back here and they both did well,” said Lindenfelder. “The outside backs were strong. We were communicating well as a unit. We were playing fantastically; I can’t ask for much more from my backs.” After having paid his dues as a back-up, Lindenfelder is determined to play his best as he assumes a leading role for the Little Tigers. “This is my first year as a starter, I had to make some i mprove m e nt s over las t year,” said Lindenfelder. “This year I had to work

on my distribution and I had to work on my communication, which still needs work. I am not quite there yet.” L i n d e n feld e r prov i d e d some good work in overtime, making a diving save to keep PHS in the contest minutes before Harla’s tally. “I would say that is one of my strengths getting down in the one-on-one situations,” said Lindenfelder. “I would like to say I am pretty good at the penalties too but I still have plenty to work on. That is going to help the rest of the team as well.” L ast fall, Lindenfelder was thrown into a pressurecooker situation, going from reserve to starter for PHS in the state Group 3 semifinal and championship games when senior keeper Laurenz Reimitz was sidelined. “I have played in big games before in club but in those games, there were more fans than I could have imagined,” said Lindenfelder. “Coming in having playing maybe like a maximum of 15 minutes for the rest of the season, I felt a lot of pressure. We got lucky to win the semifinals. Unfortunately we couldn’t pull out the final.” Falling short in the final has provided extra motivation for Lindenfelder and the Little Tigers. “I don’t know if it gave me confidence but the team as a whole and especially me, are a lot hungrier to win this year,” said Lindenfelder. “Losing in the state final and just getting so close to the goal that we all had and not quite getting there, this year is definitely a big year

for us, we are hopefully going to be able to do that.” PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe believes that Lindenfelder is going to have a big year. “Owen had a good game, he was sharp when he needed to be and his distribution was good,” said Sutcliffe. “He had a great spring in the weight room. Owen is going to be great for us.” The Little Tigers got a great defensive effort as they thwarted a quality Westfield squad. “Westfield gave us all kinds of trouble, sending guys through early and sending these dangerous balls through so all credit to Chris ( Harla), Edgar (Morales ), Sam (Serxner), Jake (Caddeau), and Pete (Luther),” said Sutcliffe. “They were great. Chris played in three championship finals, same as Jake and Peter. They have a lot of experience but we have to keep getting better.” At the other end of the field, PHS looked dangerous at times, generating three straight corner kicks in a one-minute stretch late in the second half. “We could feel it coming but we weren’t in any com-

fort zone,” said Sutcliffe. “We would build and close but it seemed like they were counter ing ver y dangerously.” In Sutcliffe’s view, it was fitting that Harla scored the game-winner. “I am so happy for Chris; he is one of three captains but this is his second year as captain,” said Sutcliffe, whose other captains are seniors Cole Snyder and Luther. “There was no doubt on that penalty, he stepped up and that is leadership. That is quality when it matters most. He was fantastic. I am so proud of him, it was great.” Lindenfelder, for his part, believes the Little Tigers can do some great things this fall. “We have been talking about this since elementary school, how in high school, we are going to become one of the best teams ever to play at the school,” said Lindenfelder. “We want to become one of the many state championship teams here at Princeton High so hopefully we can pull it out.” —Bill Alden

Heather Serverson is putting on her chef’s hat as she looks to find the recipe for success this fall for the Princeton High field hockey team, mixing and matching the ingredients at her disposal. “I have a lot of players who are midfield/forwards and I have a lot of players who are midfield/backs,” said PHS head coach Serverson, who guided PHS to an 18-4 record last fall on the way to the county final and sectional semis. “I am trying to figure out who to move where to complement each other. It is all about how they fit together. We are still trying to figure that out, I know there are a couple of ways it will work. It is trying to find the best one so when we hit postseason we can just continue on in our groove.” Forward Avery Peterson appears to be in a groove as she heads into her junior season. “I think from her sophomore year into this summer, I have seen more improvement in Avery in that time frame than I have see through the entire time I have been her coach and she has been on varsity with me since she was a freshman,” said Serverson, who is also looking at junior Jordyn Cane, junior Gwen Koehler, junior Kennedy Corrado, sophomore Lisette Dubow, and freshman Marianna Lopez-Ona up top. “There is a significant difference. I think she has grow n into some of her height and she is honing some of her skills. She does a lot of work year round with field hockey being her main sport so it is finally coming together for her, I am really happy to see it.” Serverson is happy to have senior Trish Reilly back to spearhead the midfield. “Trish is looking great, she is pick ing up r ight where she left off from last year,” asserted Serverson, whose midfield unit could also include junior Georgia McLean, senior Natalie Campisi, junior Anna Cicotta, and Cane. “She is really strong as on offensive mid.” PHS boasts two strong defenders in seniors Julia Snyder and Lucia Matteo. “Julia is our little anchor,” said Serverson. “She was sick coming into preseason and has played a few preseason games and seems to be getting back to normal pretty quickly. Lucia is going to be moving back to defense.” The team’s last line of defense at goalie will feature senior Maggie Welch and sophomore Kate Rogers. “Margaret and Kate are back in t he cage,” said Serverson. “I am hoping to have a situation where they have a competitive practice

environment and it is a dayto-day thing. They are both working hard.” In Serverson’s view, the team’s collection of interchangeable parts gives it a competitive edge. “I think some of that success is because of the versatility of the players and they are at the point where they realize they need to be versatile rather than me telling them that,” said Serverson whose team is scheduled to open its season by hosting Princeton Day School on September 8 and Allentown on September 10 before playing at Lawrenceville on September 12. “We have a lot of depth off the bench. If you have that depth in addition to players who can play midfield or back or midfield and forward, how can you go wrong.” —Bill Alden

Featuring Versatile Players All Over the Field, PHS Field Hockey Primed for Big Campaign

Coming Off Thrilling Run to Prep A Championship, Hun Girls’ Soccer Hoping for Encore Performance Catching fire down the stretch last year, the Hun School girls’ soccer team emerged as one of the pleasant surprises of the fall season. Featuring a pair of senior stars, Ashley Maziarz and Jess Sacco, along with a number of talented young players, the Raiders peaked with a riveting 2-0 victory over Pen n i ng ton i n t he state Prep A championship

game, ending its 11-year title streak. While Hun has a bull’s eye on its back coming into the upcoming season, Raider head coach Joanna Hallac believes her squad can produce an encore performance. “I think there definitely is both confidence and an understanding that it is not going to be easy,” said Hallac, who guided the team to

a 14-4-1 record in 2014. “I think we know that if we are doing the little things the way we need to do them, we can not only equal last year but maybe improve on it. At the same time, there is no more flying under the radar.” After getting off to a flying start last fall in her high school debut, talented forward Kara Borden is poised for a big sophomore campaign. “Kara is looking good, she has even grown a little bit more; her size and speed make her a huge threat up top,” said Hallac, who plans to utilize speedy senior Marleigh Nociti to join Borden up top and also provide punch in the midfield. “She has been finishing really nicely during preseason. I am hoping that she can take her freshman year and build on it even more this year. She is the kind of player that even if we are not playing that well, all of a sudden we get the ball on her feet and she makes things happen and finds the back of the net and changes the whole dynamic of the game. It is so great to have a player like that on the field.” Hun features another dynamic player at attacking center mid in sophomore Nicole Apuzzi. “She is looking dangerous offensively and she just really sees that game well,” said Hallac. “The offense runs through her up to Kara. We are relying on her heavily to help generate some offense for us.” The Raiders are relying on a pair of veterans, senior Sophia Sauma and junior Abby Gray, to shore up the midfield.

“Sophia Sauma is one of our co-captains and seniors,” said Hallac. “Soph has been great, she has been a good leader. She is more of defensive central midfielder but she has been playing so well in the preseason. I am really looking to her for some strength in the midfield and leadership on and off the field. Abby Gray will play center mid as well as outside mid for us. She works so hard all year long to improve her game and it has paid off because she is playing really well. She is doing some really nice things, whether she is in the middle or she is outside. She really understands the game well.” Junior Shannon Dudeck and sophomore Kennedy Dubow give Hun some depth and game on the wing. “Shannon Dudeck has been showing improvement from last year; she is going to be a much bigger contributor than last year,” said Hallac, who will also be using junior Natalie Csapo at midfield once she is back at full speed after dealing with some nagging leg injuries. “She is going to be an important piece for us this year. She commits totally. She works hard and has a smile on her face. Kennedy is going to be in the midfield, she is going to be one of the outside players. She also has shown some good improvement this offseason. I have been really happy with her effort and what she is doing in the midfield.” Hun figures to get some outstanding work as center back from battle-tested senior Jess Johnson. “Jess is looking great, she is co-captain along with Sophia,” said Hallac. “She just has been her usual constant, calm self back there, really helping to orchestrate things. She is making some more runs up through the midfield and even up into the offensive third out of the back. I am looking for her to do that more this year and this preseason. You feel as a coach and as a player on the field and as a goalkeeper, confident with her back there. She is just so solid.” Hallac is confident that junior Julia Salerno can step up alongside Johnson at the

middle of the defense. “Julia is filling that hole left by Ashley in the back,” said Hallac. “She is looking really good, she has made the adjustment well moving from the outside to the center back position. She is really good out of the air and getting better offensively when she wins the ball, making good decisions. She is also making some nice runs out of the back in our scrimmages. Jess has been helping her.” Another key player in the back for the Raiders will be sophomore Kendall Dandridge. “Dandridge is going to be on the outside again most of the time and I am looking for her to make those great runs up the flank out of the back,” said Hallac. “She provides some offense but she is just so solid defensively. As a freshman, she really showed a lot of maturity in her play. I am really pleased with the way she has been playing both offensively and defensively.” Seniors Amanda Douglas and Paloma Rodney will provide some maturity to the defensive unit. “A manda Douglas has been starting in the midfield and I have been playing her at the outside back position,” added Hallac. “She is a smart player and a hard worker and it is nice to have that versatility. Paloma Rodney, who missed all of last season because of knee injuries, has been battling hard to get back out there. She has been starting most of the scrimmages at outside. I want to see Paloma finish her senior year getting to play, she is contributing and doing a great job.” The Raiders boast a trio of goalies who could play at various points this year, including incumbent senior Courtney Arch, sophomore

Livia Kooker, and freshman Leah Sutphen. “We don’t have a lot of depth in our field positions but I have some really good goalkeepers; it is a really good problem to have,” said Hallac. “Courtney has been getting a lot of competition. Livvy Kooker, who had some injury problems last year, has definitely been good competition for her. Leah Sutphen has been really impressive as a freshman. All three of them could see time. I can’t even tell you who I am going to start in the first game, it has been that tight. It is good for them and it is good for the team. No matter who is back there, the girls have been pretty good in terms of not letting that change the way they are playing.” In order to produce another big year, Hun needs to maintain the upbeat approach that it displayed last fall in its championship run. “I think the attitude just needs to stay focused and positive and if we suffer any setbacks, making sure that those things aren’t totally distracting us and we work through them,” said Hallac, whose team opens the 2015 season by playing at Episcopal Academy (Pa.) on September 10 and at Princeton Day School on September 15. “If we have an injury or lose a game we should have won, we can’t get down on each other. We need to just stay focused on our goals, stay positive, and keep looking to improve. Practice is going to be key, staying focused and practicing every day like we play and not getting complacent. It is easy after a season like that to go in thinking no problem and then you get complacent and you are losing games.” —Bill Alden

For Heather Farlow, playing field hockey at Rutgers University in the mid-1990s was a transformative experience. “The most impor tant things I took from that were teamwork and hard work,” said Farlow, a forward for the Scarlet Knights from 1994-1997. “ S o m e of m y c l o s e s t friends are still my teammates from there. It was a great experience.” Now Farlow is looking to help the players on the Princeton Day School field hockey team enjoy a similar experience as she takes helm of the program as its new head coach. “I just want to have them embrace change and realize that I want this to be a learning experience for them,” said Farlow, the successor to Tracey Arndt, who decided she didn’t have enough time in her schedule to continue in the post. “I am going to ask them to take some risks and possibly play in some positions they haven’t played before and to embrace that because

we are trying to put them in situations where they have success. We want to play to everybody’s strengths. You can’t always do that but we are going to try to see what our strength is as a team and capitalize on that.” Shortly after graduating from Rutgers, Farlow took a risk, heading to Texas to take a teaching and coaching post at a private school in the Dallas area. “I saw a job posting from the U.S. field hockey website for a job in Forth Worth.” recalled Farlow, who did some grad work at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. “I inter v iewed at For t Worth Country Day and then I saw a job posting in Dallas at the Greenhill School. I interviewed there and ended up getting an offer at both places and picked the job at Greenhill in Dallas. I thought it will be fun, it will be an adventure and I will stay for a couple of years and then came back. I ended up staying a lot longer than I had anticipated.” Farlow stayed at Green-

hill for 11 years, guiding the field hockey squad to a number of winning campaigns, highlighted by a 194-2 mark in 2012, setting a program record for single season wins. D u r i n g h e r te n u r e at Greenhill, Farlow’s teams featured a high octane style. “I like to play a team game, a passing game,” said Farlow. “I like to play up tempo and really move the ball around. I like to play a game that is more like soccer with the ball movement.” After more than a decade in Texas, Farlow, a Delaware native, decided to relocate to the east coast. “It was to be closer to family,” said Farlow. “I enjoyed my time out in Texas tremendously but I have been looking to come back east for a while. Meeting her new charges on August 24, the first day of preseason, Farlow is working on developing a family feeling around the program. “It has been great, they are very responsive, they work hard, and they are eager to please,” said Farlow. “We are continuing to push them to be a little more vocal and take more ownership of the field. We want them to continue to learn the game as much as they can. We are a little young but that is OK. I am just really excited, they are a great group of girls.” Senior stars Lauren Finley and Rowan Schomburg figure to be two of PDS’s most exciting players this fall. “It is pretty clear that some of the players have had a lot of varsity experience, they are standing out,” said Farlow, citing Finley and Schomburg. Other standouts so far include junior Kiely French, senior Kate Laughlin, sophomore Madison Mundenar, and a pair of freshmen, Val Radvany and Gwen Allen. “Kiely French is playing both midfield and defense; Kate Laughlin is doing a great job vocally being a leader,” added Farlow. “I have two freshmen, Val Radvany and Gwen Allen, who have got a lot of promise. Madison Mundenar may have played midfield and forward last year and I am going to play her in the back to get a little more speed back there.” Farlow is hoping that PDS gets up to speed quickly as it looks to improve on the 2-14 record posted last fall. “We have to continue to have good ball movement, to really work on creating quality scoring opportunities, and to play solid defense inside the circle,” said Farlow, whose team was slated to get its 2015 campaign u nder way by play ing at Princeton High on September 8 and at Stuart Country Day on September 10. “We are moving the ball pretty well as a team. They are very nice girls but we have to get them to show a little more grit so to speak, trying to get that drive.” —Bill Alden

Leaning Heavily on Battle-Tested Junior Class, PDS Girls’ Soccer Primed to Defend Prep B Title With only one senior on the roster this fall for the Princeton Day School girls’ team, it may appear that the squad lacks experience. But with a group of seven juniors in Abby Atkeson, Hannah Bunce, Alexis Davis, Allison Klei, Emily Simons, Katie Simons, and Shayla S te ve n s on, w h o h e lp e d the program win the state Prep B title last fall and the Mercer County Tournament in 2013, the squad boasts plenty of battle-tested performers. “We are going to be leaning on the junior class,” said PDS head coach Pat Trombetta, who guide the Panthers to a 12-4-3 record in 2014. “They have only known winning, they have seen it all. The biggest goal is to defend the Prep B title. We are bringing in 10 new faces but we have a strong core.” One of PDS’s strongest performers is sophomore goalie Grace Barbara, who started every game last fall and took charge of the back line from the start. “She is a great communicator,” asserted Trombetta of Barbara. “She got a lot of experience in the offseason, playing in Costa Rica and Italy with an ODP (Olympic Development Program) Region 1 team. That overseas experience will be a big help.” Trombetta believes that another sophomore standout, Madison Coyne, should also be a big help to the Panther defense. “We moved Madison Coyne

to center back in front of Grace; we have a hole on defense with Stef (Soltesz) and Erin (Hogan) graduating,” said Trombetta, who has his lone senior Izzy Meyercord playing alongside Coyne in the middle with Emily Simons on the left wing and a pair of freshmen, Charlotte Meyercord and Kelsey Lane on the right. “It is Madison’s natural position and she is very smooth; we have two great communicators on the back.” At forward, PDS boasts two solid players in sophomore newcomer Damali Simon-Ponte and Klei. “We have Damali SimonPonte, a transfer from South Brunswick, up top, she is going to help,” said Trombetta “We have her up there with Allison Klei, who is in good shape and is playing well.” The midfield is in good

shape with sophomores Ann Xu and Becca Kuzmicz along with freshman Madison McCaw and juniors Bunce and Atkeson. “We have Ann and Becca in the middle,” said Trombetta. “Madison McCaw is a freshman who also plays hockey, she is going to do some good things. On the outside, we have Hannah attacking from the left. She is physical, fast, and has a great left foot. On the other wing, we have Abby, who was great for us last year.” While PDS may take a while to find a rhythm, Trombetta believes it can produce another great finish. “It is a matter of developing chemistry with our new players,” said Trombetta. “It will be a team searching for its identity. I think there will be bumps early but we should get better and better as the season goes on.” —Bill Alden

step great grandchildren. Meg was born in Washington, D.C. in 1936 to Dr. Joseph Keating and Margaret Shepherdson Keating. She is predeceased by her parents and by a sister, Kathleen Flink. Meg grew up in Passaic, N.J. and graduated from Lacordaire Academy in Montclair, where she starred on the basketball team. She received a degree in mathematics from Seton Hill College and a masters degree in counseling from Northeastern University. She worked for 30 years as a counselor at New York and New Jersey high schools, 20 of them as director of guidance, where she had an important impact on many young lives. She was a pioneer in starting peer-helping programs in schools and helped to found a Peer Leaders Association which developed into a state organization and eventually into a national network. Meg always considered this work, involving colleagues and students, as one of the most satisfying and joyful accomplishments of her career. After college, Meg had also served for three years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force where she was in charge of the computer center at Chenault A.F. Base in Louisana. There will be a memorial service for Meg at Princeton Windrows in October 2015. ———
