The Royal Swedish Academy has been smiling on Princeton University during the past week, with Princeton professors winning the 2021 Nobel Prizes in physics last Tuesday, October 5, and chemistry on Wednesday, October 6; journalist and Princeton 1986 graduate Maria Ressa awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, October 8; and graduate alumni David Card and Joshua Angrist winning the 2021 Nobel Memorial Prize in economic sciences this Monday, October 11. Card, who is currently a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, received one half of the economics prize “for his empirical contributions to labor economics.” He earned his Ph.D. in economics at Princeton in 1983, and taught at Princeton from 1983 to 1996. Angrist, who finished his Ph.D. at Princeton In 1989 and is now a professor at MIT, shares his half of the prize with Stanford University economics professor Guido Imbens “for their methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships.” The Swedish Academy noted that Card and Angrist were being recognized for providing “new insights about the labor market” and showing “what conclusions about cause and effect can be drawn from natural experiments.” Cecilia Rouse, chair of President Biden’s Council of Economic Advisers and former dean of Princeton University’s School of Public and International Affairs, commented, as quoted in a University press release, “Today’s Nobel in economics recognizes that investing in people — such as paying them living wages and providing quality educational opportunities — is beneficial not only to them but to society at large. It also highlights how economists can utilize natural experiments to analyze the causal impact of public policy, which has been an important advancement for the profession. Much of this work has its roots at Princeton University, and I am very proud to call the winners my friends and colleagues.” Wolfgang Pesendorfer, economics department chair at Princeton, added, “This is a great prize: David Card, in joint research with Alan Krueger done here at Princeton, changed the way economists think about the labor market, most prominently about how the minimum Continued on Page 7

Council Approves NJDOT’s Intersection Plan At a meeting Monday evening, Princeton Council voted in favor of a resolution that supports the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s (NJDOT) plan to make the entrance to Witherspoon Street, from Nassau Street, 22 feet wide. Council had originally planned for the entrance to be 13.5 feet wide, believing that the NJDOT was on board with that figure. But state officials have indicated otherwise, it was revealed at a special meeting of Council on the Witherspoon Street redesign project last Friday morning. Had Council voted against accepting the NJDOT’s figure, the town would not be eligible for state funding for the project, which is estimated to cost about $1 million. Because Nassau Street is part of Route 27, which is a state road, the NJDOT has jurisdiction over anything that has an impact on its traffic. Last March, Council passed a resolution supporting the NJDOT’s preliminary preferred alternative for reconstruction of the busy intersection and replacement of the traffic signal. At the special meeting last Friday, Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton told Council that municipal staff had submitted its design, with the 13.5-foot width, to the NJDOT in June,

believing the agency was in acceptance of the figure. “We worked with them. There was an assumption we were all on board with this,” she said. “We come to learn that in September, DOT had updated their preferred alternative to be a 22-foot-wide entrance. So that was a conundrum for us. We got a letter on September 23 from DOT saying this is now the preferred alternative, and there is a possibility of losing funding going forward.”

Stockton said the rationale behind the NJDOT’s figure of 22 feet is that anything lower would reduce truck access and not be safe. An additional change by the NJDOT involves the kiosk at the corner of Nassau and Witherspoon streets. It was originally supposed to be removed and replaced with a traffic controller box. But the NJDOT was able to reduce the size of the box, which will be similar to Continued on Page 7

Local and Statewide Races Heat Up; Early Voting and Election Day Approach

With races for governor, state Senate, general Assembly, surrogate, Board of County Commissioners, Princeton Council, and Princeton Public Schools (PPS) Board of Education (BOE), along with three public questions, all on the ballot, Princeton voters have a range of options for how they cast their ballots in the coming weeks. Locally, incumbent Eve Niedergang, and community leader Leighton Newlin, both Democrats, are running unopposed for two three-year terms on Princeton Council, and four candidates — incumbents Betsy Baglio and Brian McDonald,

and new candidates Mara Franceschi and Jeffrey Liao, who have all been profiled in previous issues of Town Topics — are running for three spots on the PPS BOE. Seeking to represent the 16th legislative district, which includes parts of Mercer, Hunterdon, Middlesex, and Somerset counties, in two seats in the New Jersey General Assembly, Republicans Joseph Lukac III and Vincent Panico are taking on incumbent Roy Freiman and Sadaf Jaffer, both Democrats. The 16th district state Senate race, for the seat to be Continued on Page 8

Students Step Up to Help Restore Critical Sourland Habitat

The Sourland forest is in trouble, and some young members of the Mercer and Middlesex county communities have been digging in to help. In recent weeks, five student interns have been helping to battle the devastation that the invasive ash borer,

the high volume of deer, and other issues have inflicted on the 90-square-mile Sourland expanse. The Sourland Mountain Region hosts 57 state-listed, threatened, and endangered plant and animal species. Interns Will Bradford, Eve Cooke, Kelsy Geletej, Robert Lucas, and Lillian Wurtz have been busy planting this fall, getting more than 1,000 trees into the ground last month. They are on target to add another 2,000 this month.

The wide variety of trees and shrubs are planted to restore what is known as the “understory.” The interns have also worked to stabilize streambanks, begin to fill holes in the tree canopy, and provide critical habitat for resident and migratory wildlife. “I took this internship to finally have the opportunity to help give back in a way I hadn’t been able to on my own,” said Geletej, in a press release. “It’s an amazing feeling giving back to the environment like this,” added Wurtz. “I grew up in the Sourlands, and it means a lot to me to be able to make a difference in an area that I know so well.” Laurie Cleveland, executive director of the Sourland Conservancy, said the interns are helping to fill “a huge need.” Thanks to the invasive emerald ash borer and the over-population of deer, who eat a lot of native tree seedlings, the Sourland forest is on track to lose a million trees in the next few years. “There aren’t any native trees in the understory,” said Cleveland. “Most of what is there is invasive shrubs and vines. Anything that does grow above [ground] gets eaten by deer. The problem is really big and complex, so having these interns get as many trees into the ground as possible is critical. All of them are wonderfully curious, ambitious, independent works and great team players. I couldn’t ask for a better group of interns.” Anyone, not just interns, can help to save the Sourlands and the surround-

ing environment. “There is something we can all do,” said Cleveland. “Every person can make a difference. The first and most critical thing is to reduce the use of pesticides and fertilizers in your own yard. And plant native plants — even if you’re just planting a pot on your patio or in a window box.” The Sourland Region Forest Restoration project is sponsored by the Sourland Conservancy. Partners include The Watershed Ins t it u te, D & R G re e nw ay Land Trust, Montgomer y Township, Mercer County Park Commission, Friends of Hopewell Valley Open

Future opportunities are at Rainbow Hill Preserve in East Amwell October 26-30, and Folusiak Preser ve in Montgomer y Township November 11-13. Visit sourland.org/events to register. “This is not just a feelgood issue,” said Carolyn Klaube, the Conservancy’s stewardship director. “It’s really an existential threat. We have the chance to really turn this around, and it is imperative that we do. We all rely on the ecosystem of the forest for fresh air, water filtration, and stormwater management, not to mention criiters like birds, who eat bugs off our agricultural crops. And we rely on pollinators to pollinate a third of the food on our table. We have a symbiotic relationship with nature. It’s not like we’re over here and nature is over there.” — Anne Levin

LHT Honored By Bicycle Coalition of Philadelphia

T h e B ic ycle C o a l it ion of G re ater Ph i ladelph ia (BCYC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to making bicycling a safe and fun way for everyone to get around the Greater Philadelphia region on a network of connected Circuit Trails, last week honored the Lawrence Hopewell Trail (LHT) with the “Connect the Circuit Award.” The LHT was among several organizations and individuals recognized for their contributions to the Circuit Trails at an event held at the Abington Arts Center in Jenkintown. The LHT is the first New Jersey trail to be recognized by the Bicycle Coalition, which is the leading partner in building the Circuit. When, completed, the Circuit will be an 800+ trail network that connects the urban, suburban and rural communities of the Greater Philadelphia area. Central and southern New Jersey are considered within this area, and the LHT is at the northeast tip of the network. “The board of trustees of the Lawrence Hopewell Trail, a dedicated group of volunteers, working closely with municipal and county officials, are the real heroes who have made our trail a heavily used, much appreciated community amenity t hat connects neighborhoods to neighborhoods, people to each other, and people to the outdoors,” LHT Co-President Eleanor Horne told the 200 coalition supporters who attended the October 1 event. Horn and Co-President Becky Taylor accepted the award on behalf of the LHT trustees. “We are deeply grateful to the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia and the other members of the Circuit Trails Coalition for creating a strong community of trail managers and enthusiasts from which we have benefitted in so many ways. It is with the support of the Coalition that we have been able to connect our trail to the Circuit,” said Horne.

Question of the Week:

“Why is the Princeton Public Library important to you?” (Asked Saturday at the Beyond Words 2021 kick-off benefit for the library on Hinds Plaza) (Photos by Charles R. Plohn)

Dean: “I’ve been coming to the library ever since I moved here in the fourth grade. It’s always been special, and it’s transformed for me over the years from a place where I could come and have fun with my friends to a place that I can come and study with them.” Jocelyn: “It is important because it provides resources to those that do not have them at home. There are computers and many books that the whole town can access, and I think it’s vital for our education to have those resources available to all.” —Dean Morgan with Joycelyn Brobbey, both of Princeton

Marielena: “I think it brings a lot of people together, and it provides quiet places for people to study independently or in groups.” Andre: “To me, it’s a really great place to study. It’s quiet, and there a lot of books and digital resources. It’s just a really great place to do work and to meet up with people.” —Marielena Paredes, Shamong with Andre Penn, Princeton

Peter: “The library gives teenagers a chance to define themselves as Princeton residents.” Seva: “It’s important as a library, but it is mostly important because it is the one place that the entire community can come together.” —Peter and Seva Kramer, Princeton

Stephanie: “I think the library is an amazing resource, and it provides a place where everyone can be equal.” Michelle: “The Princeton Public Library is very special for young families, older families, and for teenagers. It provides an opportunity for people to come together, in a safe environment, with lots of wonderful resources.” —Stephanie Oster with Michelle Baxter, both of Princeton

wage affects employment. Josh A ngr ist and Guido Imbens made key methodological contributions that changed the way empirical research has been done over the past 25 years.” Ressa, CEO and executive editor of the Philippines-based online news organization rappler.com, was cited for her efforts to “safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace.” T h e N ob e l c om m it te e note d t hat Re s s a “us e s freedom of expression to expose abuse of power, use of violence, and growing authoritarianism in her native country, the Philippines. As a journalist and the Rappler’s CEO, Ressa has shown herself to be a fearless defender of freedom of expression. Rappler has focused critical attention on the Duterte regime’s controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign. The number of deaths is so high that the campaign resembles a war waged against the country’s own population. Ms. Ressa and Rappler have also documented how social media is being used to spread fake news, harass opponents, and manipulate public discourse.” Ressa shared her Nobel Peace Prize award with Dmitry Muratov, founder and editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazette, a Russian independent newspaper. Ressa is currently appealing a 2020 conviction in the Philippines for “cyber libel.” A journalist in Asia for more than 30 years, she was CNN’s bureau chief in Manila and Jakarta before founding Rappler. She taught in Princeton University’s Program in Journalism in 2000-2001, when she was working for CNN. Ressa visited Princeton University in April 2019, meeting with students, faculty, and the campus community in large and small gatherings to discuss freedom of the press and how to combat disinformation. “Maria was an inspiration when she visited us on campus in 2019 — smiling and cheery at a time when her very life and liberty hung in the balance,” said Joe Stephens, founding director of Princeton’s Program in Journalism. “You would never guess that she had just been arrested twice and faced arrest again on her impending return to the Philippines. ‘Heroic’ doesn’t even begin to describe her.” Ressa is the second Princeton graduate to win the Nobel Peace Prize. The first

was Woodrow Wilson in 1919. “Maria Ressa’s courage, creativity, dedication, and values are an inspiration to the Princeton community,” said Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber. “She exemplifies brilliantly this university’s commitment to ‘the service of humanity.’ We join the Nobel committee in celebrating her brave commitments to free expression, human dignity, and democratic government.” David Macmillan, Princeton’s 2021 Nobel laureate in chemistry, was born, grew up, and received his undergraduate education in Scotland. He joined the Princeton University chemistry department in 2006, served as director of the University’s Merck Center for Catalysis, and was chair of the University’s chemistry department from 2010 to 2015. “Dav id MacMillan is a br i l l ia nt ch em is t whos e t r a n s fo r m a t i v e i n s i g h t s and accomplishments have enhanced the power of organic chemistry to benefit human health and address other practical problems,” Eisgruber wrote. “He is also a faculty leader who during his time at Princeton has worked with colleagues to build this University’s Department of Chemistry into one of the world’s best.” MacMillan has focused his research on innovative concepts in synthetic organic chemistry, creating a new tool, through a process known as organocatalysis, which increases the rate of chemical reactions, helping chemists construct catalysts with less impact on the environment and greater speed and precision. The impact of these organocatalysts and the new drugs and materials they are used to construct reaches from industrial applications to pharmaceuticals to everyday products like clothing, shampoo, carpet fibers and more. MacM i l la n s h are d t h e 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with German chemist Benjamin List, director of the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mulheim an Der Ruhr, Germany. Princeton University’s first 2021 Nobel Prize winner was climate science pioneer and senior meteorologist Syukuro “Suki” Manabe, as reported in last week’s Town Topics. Manabe was awarded the prize in physics for his work in modeling global climate change and climate variations, sounding a warning about global warming some 60 years ago, and contributing to “our understanding of complex physical systems.” —Donald Gilpin

the one at Nassau Street and Bayard Lane. The kiosk will likely remain. Stockton said the NJDOT is working with PSE&G to locate the controller box on the Princeton University side of Nassau Street. To direct vehicles, bollards of a design to be determined will be added to Witherspoon Street, Stockton said at the earlier meeting. At Mon day’s m e e t i ng, Stockton asked Council for feedback on several aspects of the redesign of Witherspoon Street regarding stormwater management, whether there should be curbs, whether sidewalks should be raised, and green infrastructure. She also asked Council their impressions of talks given last month by nationally known urban planner Jeff Speck on how he thinks the town should move forward. Among his recommendations were pedestr ianizing the street from Nassau St reet to Pau l Robeson Place, changing the way stor mwater is collected, and making a left turn from Tulane Street onto Spring Street to allow access to the Spring Street Garage.. “We’re now in a position of going over decisions we’ve already made,” said Council member Eve Niedergang. “His presentation was exciting. He had some criticisms and some favorable comments, but a lot of things he would do differently we can’t because of space, and stuff underground. Let’s go with what we’ve already established. We’ve already settled a lot of these questions.” —Anne Levin

Holds Annual Grande Ball

Mathew Rozell The program will share the true story of American GIs who liberated Holocaust survivors from a death-train deserted by the Nazis, and the retired history teacher who reunited them decades later. Against the backdrop of the atrocities and suffering of the Holocaust, this is an account of two very different groups of people coming across each other in the most shocking and amazing way. Author Mathew Rozell is a history teacher, author, blogger, and speaker.

Election Day continued from page one

vacated at the end of the year by Christopher (Kip) Batemen, pits Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker, a Democrat, against Republican Michael Pappas. B eg in n ing nex t week, from Saturday, October 23 to Sunday, October 31, early voting will be available for the first time in New Jersey at Princeton’s in-person early voting location in the Princeton Shopping Center to the left of the Bagel Nook, and at other centralized early voting sites around the state. Voters who have vote-by-mail ballots can place their completed ballots in the mail, in a secure ballot drop box at the Princeton Municipal Building on Witherspoon Street or at the Princeton University Wawa/ Dinky Station on Alexander Street or deliver directly to the County Board of Elections office on Election Day, November 2. And of course voters can go to their regular polling locations on Tuesday, November 2 and vote in person. Polling places will be listed on the sample ballot mailed to voters or they can be found online, along with other election information,

under “Elections” at mercercounty.org. Council Candidates Niedergang and Newlin commented on their work in the community over the past last few years, and offered their views on the challenges ahead. “I’m proud of what Council has accomplished during the last two-plus years, especially in facing the challenges of the COVID pandemic,” Niedergang wrote. “Council responded quickly to help our businesses stay open, to expand our health department, and to assist residents in need.” Niedergang led the recent search for a new town administrator, has helped advance Princeton’s Climate Action Plan, and has been a leader in the effort to preserve and maintain Princeton’s open space. She noted that she currently chairs the Princeton Cannabis Task Force, which will be making recommendations to Council on whether and where to allow cannabis-related businesses in town, “while keeping considerations of racial and social justice front and center.” Niedergang outlined her goals for the future :

“Building resiliency in the face of climate change by both protecting and making accessible Princeton’s open space, devoting adequate resources and staff to our infrastructure, and ensuring that municipal actions are contemplated through a lens of social and racial equity.” She added, “As a pro gressive Democrat, I will further the values of social justice, climate sustainability, affordability, and smart growth, and work to provide opportunities for all who live and work in our unique and diverse community.” A 30year resident of Princeton, Niedergang is running for her second term on Council. Newlin is seeking elected office for the first time, looking to replace Councilman Dwaine Williamson, who is not seeking re-election. A third-generation Princetonian who grew up in town, Newlin has served on the Princeton Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for the past 24 years, including 19 as chair. He is co-chair of the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) Neighborhood Association, a trustee of the W-J Historical and Cultural Society, and a member of the advisory board of the Paul Robeson House of Princeton. “I believe my experience and track record of success and service makes me the right candidate at the right time to serve on Princeton Council,” he wrote. “Over the past 20 years, I have demonstrated an unselfish commitment to the betterment of my neighborhood and to the greater Princeton community.”

Newlin went on to reflect on his memories of Princeton’s past and his priorities for the town’s future. “I have seen the racial transformation of Princeton from the days I could not sit at the lunch counter for a meal,” he wrote. “I believe Princeton’s leadership must reflect and represent the diversity and values of its people. I will work to ensure that Princeton is a town that supports equity, diversity, and good governance.” Assembly and Senate Races In the Assembly race, Jaffer, former Montgomery Township mayor and a postdoctoral research associate and lecturer in South Asian studies at Princeton University, would be the first-ever Asian American woman or Muslim in the New Jersey legislature. Freiman, whose profe s s iona l exp er ie n ce includes working as an executive at Prudential Financial, joined the Assembly in 2018, where he has served on the Commerce and Economic Development, Financial Institutions and Insurance, Transportation, and Independent Aut hor it ies committees and as vice chair of the State and Local Government Committee. Pa n i c o, a Re a d i n g ton IT executive, is president of the Hunterdon Central Board of Education. Lukac, a U.S. Army veteran, Manville councilman, and former school board member, works as an electrical and instrumentation supervisor and is a 27-year member of the Electrical Workers’ Union. In the state Senate race for Bateman’s seat in the 16th

COUNCIL CANDIDATES: Leighton Newlin, longtime community leader, and Eve Niedergang, incumbent council member, are running unopposed for two available Princeton Council positions in the upcoming election. With early voting starting October 23 and Election Day on November 2, races for Princeton Public Schools Board of Education, state Senate, general Assembly, county surrogate, Board of County Commissioners, and governor, along with three public questions, are also on the ballot. (Photo by Peter Smith) district, which has never been held by a Democrat, Zwicker, a South Brunswick resident and head of science education at the Princeton University Plasma Physics Laboratory who has represented the 16th district in the state Assembly since 2016, is competing against Pappas, who was formerly mayor of Franklin Township (1983-84), a one-term U.S. congressman (1997-99 ), and has been the Bridgewater municipal administrator since 2020. County races on the November 2 Princeton ballot include Republican Douglas Miles competing against Democrat incumbent Diane Gerofsky for a five-year term as county surrogate and Republicans Richard Balgowan, Michael Chianese, and Andrew Kotula Jr. vying for three spots on the Board of County Commissioners against Democrats Kris tin McLaughlin, Terrance Stokes, and the incumbent

board chair, Samuel Frisby. Also on the ballot is the election for governor and lieutenant governor, with incumbent Democrat Phil Murphy and running mate Sheila Oliver seeking a second four-year term against Republican challengers Jack Ciattarelli and running mate Diane Allen. There are three public questions on the ballot, one about expanding sports betting to college events; one that would allow cer tain organizations to use proceeds from bingo, raffles, and other games of chance for their own organizations; and a local question on allowing Mercer County to change the allocation of funds raised by the county for open space, recreation, farmland and the Historic Trust Fund. The last proposition does not increase the voter-approved tax levy. —Donald Gilpin

March for Social Justice Reform Includes Stops in Princeton

A march in support of subpoena power for civilian review boards of police in New Jersey will include a visit to Princeton on Thursday, with rallies at three locations in town to raise awareness of the issue. The Coalition for Peace Action, Princeton Mutual Aid, and Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church are endorsing the march by Lawrence Hamm, president of the Newark-based People’s Organization for Progress. Hamm, a 1978 graduate of Princeton University, is walking from Montclair to Trenton over nine days, “to highlight the issue of police brutality and to demand the New Jersey Legislature pass legislation to hold police accountable,” he said in a press statement. “First and foremost, we demand passage of A4656/S2963, the police review boards of civilians, with subpoena power bill.” Earlier this year, the New Jersey Legislature looked at the bill, but it was stopped before it could be voted upon. “There was a good

start,” said the Rev. Robert Moore, executive director of the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action. “But the bill got stuck. My good f r iend L ar r y Ham m has started this march to try to bring it back to our attention and say this needs to get finished.” Hamm began the 67-mile trek, titled “The Long March for Justice: March to Trenton for Police Accountability, Social Justice, and Economic Progress” last Friday. He will be in Princeton on Thursday, October 14, and plans to wind up at the State House in Trenton on Saturday, October 16. The Princeton stops include a 12 p.m. rally at the University’s FitzRandolph Gate on Nassau Street, followed by a march to the Paul Robeson Center at the corner of Witherspoon Street and Paul Robeson Place for a 12:30 p.m. rally, and the municipal complex at 400 Witherspoon Street for a concluding rally at 1:30 p.m. “We chose the Robeson Center intentionally because of the bust of Paul Robe-

son, who is a great American hero,” said Moore. “We felt it was really important symbolism. When we see a problem in our nation, we need to always work to make it better, which is what Paul Robeson did.” According to statistics cited by Moore, one out of every 1,000 Black males will die from police violence rather than natural causes. “It was shocking to learn that,” he said, adding that he isn’t biased against the police. “In fact, I’m grateful because most of them are excellent officers,” he said. “But unfortunately, there are always bad apples. Even the best of us can slide into biased behavior.” In addition to the efforts for legislation, the People’s Organization for Progress wants to highlight other issues during the march, including a bill to make officer disciplinary records public, a bill banning and criminalizing chokeholds, a bill establishing requirements for use of deadly force, and a bill ending qualified immunity in New Jersey. T he conclusion of t he march at Witherspoon Hall r e c o g n i z e s e f for t s t h at P r inceton’s Civ il R ights Commission is making to propose a civilian review board, Moore said. All are invited to participate in the rallies. Supporters urging action can also email state legislators on the Coalition’s website, peacecoalition.org. — Anne Levin

Eisgruber, College Leaders Urge Congress: Double Pell Grants for Low-Income Students Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber and Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway, along with 42 other New Jersey higher education leaders, have sent a letter to New Jersey’s congressional delegation calling for a doubling of the maximum Pell Grant to help students from low- and middle -income families to meet college expenses. “Doubling the maximum Pell Grant will help more st udents f rom low- and middle-income families to get to and through college,” states the letter co-authored by Eisgruber and Holloway. “That helps everyone: by cultivating talent from every sector of society, we make our state, and our country, stronger and better.” Members of Congress, including two U.S. senators and the 12 delegates representing New Jersey in the House of Representatives, are currently in the process of developing and voting on a budget reconciliation package. T he cur rent ma x imu m Pell Grant award is $6,495. W hen it was enacted in 1972, the Pell Grant covered nearly 80 percent of the cost of attending a public four-year college, but now the Pell covers less than 30

Laurel School

percent of the cost. “It is time for a dramatic recalibration of this vital program to restore the promise of Pell to make college possible for the next generation of postsecondary students,” the letter states. Princeton Universit y Spokesperson Ben Chang emphas i z e d, “A col le ge education is, as President Eisgruber has said, a rocket-booster for students from low-income and middle income families. Princeton strongly supports the doubling of the maximum federal Pell Grant because it will help more of these students get the educations they deserve, and it will enable our college campuses and our country to benefit from the talent they bring.” More than 150,000 students in New Jersey and almost 7 million nationwide receive Pell Grants each year, according to the college leaders’ letter, “including a clear majority of Black students and about half of Latinx students currently enrolled in college.” The letter notes that many potential recipients do not even apply for t he Pell Grant, because they believe that a college education is beyond their means. “Pell is a proven program,” the let-

ter continues, “and in combination with other federal aid, state aid, and institutional grants, has provided millions of low-income students a wide array of postsecondary opportunities at both two- and four-year colleges and universities.” Eisgruber wrote in a July 30 blog post, “One of my highest priorities is to increase the number of lowincome and middle-income students getting college degrees, both at Princeton and nationally.” Princeton University provides extensive financial aid to its undergraduates, but many other college students rely on the Pell Grant and other federal and state aid. Emphasizing the “ life changing” value of a college education for the state’s young people, the letter continues, “It is exciting and gratifying to see that Congress and the president have been considering ways to help make college more affordable. A college degree is a hugely important tool of social mobility that opens a wide range of opportunities for careers that can transform the lives of students and their families, in addition to propelling economic prosperity and job growth.” —Donald Gilpin

NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY: The Chilocco Indian Agricultural School is the subject of a Zoom program on Saturday, October 23 at 4 p.m. from the Trent House Association.

Chilocco History Project impacted by its histor y, documentary, and supportIs “A Century of Stories” and scholars and students ed the development of K-12

The Trent House Association hosts a virtual talk on Saturday, October 23 at 4 p.m., describing a project collecting oral histories about a federal Native American boarding school in Oklahoma and developing curricula for teaching this often-forgotten history to elementary and upperlevel school students. This is a free program via Zoom at https :// bit. ly/3AejSoa. Chilocco Indian Agricultural School is located in nor th central Oklahoma and operated from 1884 -1980 as one of a handful of federal off-reservation Indian boarding schools in the United States. Thousands of students passed through the school’s iconic entryway arch during its century-long existence. Even today, Chilocco continues to be a powerful site for memories for its remaining alumni from overICON 127 tribes, Native peoples directly or indirectly

throughout the world who seek to understand its role within the larger context of U.S. Indian boarding schools. Julie Pearson-Little Thunder, Lisa Lynn Brooks, and Sarah Milligan will share their experience working on the Chilocco History Project, a three-year collaborative agreement between the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program (OOHRP) at Oklahoma State University in conjunction with the Chilocco National Alumni A ssociat ion ( CNA A ), an organization made up of former students and staff of Chilocco Indian Agricultural School, which hosts an annual reunion which has taken place since 1894. During this discussion, presenters will discuss the development of the history project, which documented over 40 oral history interviews with living alumni and staff, shared thousands of images digitized from the CNAA archives, developed a

curriculum to bring these archives into the classroom, which can be found online at chilocco.library.okstateledu.

School Matters

Fall is for Planting

Princeton Montessori School Promotes Sustainability The Princeton Montessori School is pursuing an array of eco-friendly initiatives this fall under the direction of its newly appointed sustainability manager and ecology teacher, Gery Juleff. So far Juleff has led the school in signing a solar energy agreement, relaunching their Farm-to-School program, repairing their vegetable garden, and recommitting to composting. He is currently working with colleagues to develop a comprehensive school sustainability plan for the future. “The Montessori philosophy encourages children to bond with the earth so that they learn to care about it, make good choices, and become advocates for environmental sustainability,” said Princeton Montessori School Head Michelle Morrison. The school signed a contract last month for the installation of a solar array, a group of solar panels, that will take place during spring break, with the solar array fully functioning by the end of the school year. Once installed the panels will reduce the school’s CO2 emissions by about 3,000 metric tons over the 20-year agreement, and, according to a Princeton Montessori School press release, the school could save $500-800,000 in electricity bills during that time. “It was a great learning experience,” Juleff said. “I have written an informal how-to guide based on my experience, which I hope will show other schools and organizations that installing solar is really doable and will bring significant benefits.”

Pennington STEM Girls Develop Marketing Strategies The Pennington School’s Girls in STEM club has been working on developing a marketing strategy for the rollout of a product they created earlier this year: their award-winning, patent-pending hybrid sanitary napkin. They are hoping their project will become a philanthropy target for corporations, which will provide the materials, tools, sewing, and business training for displaced women in Malawi and elsewhere to produce the hybrid pad as a source of income. On September 24, the Girls in STEM attended a workshop in which they made progress in branding and marketing the hybrid sanitary napkin, identifying their target audience, and developing a mission. The hybrid sanitary napkin project began several years ago when Susan Wirsig, director of Pennington’s Applied Science Certificate Program, visited Dzaleka, a refugee camp in Malawi, and saw the challenges that girls in the camp face, including economic hardship, lack of sanitary ways to dispose of waste, water shortages, and inadequate access to menstrual products. Girls in Dzaleka often miss school while menstruating because of these challenges, and in some cases drop out of school altogether. Wirsig, the Pennington Girls in STEM club, and girls in Dzaleka all teamed up to try to solve this problem, designing and testing a hybrid menstrual pad that is part reusable, part disposable. In July of this year, Girls in STEM won the grand prize in the Lemonade Stand Contest, a competition sponsored by Whalebone Magazine and Faherty Brand, for their hybrid sanitary napkin initiative. The prize included $20,000 in cash a $40,000 marketing budget, and three one-hour mentoring sessions with the Faherty CEO.

Mailbox Noting Problems with Proposed Housing Development at Princeton Shopping Center

To the Editor: The Princeton Planning Board is close to approving a fourstory, 200-unit housing development at the Walgreen’s end of the Princeton Shopping Center. The current Walgreen’s will be torn down and rise again in a new location with a drive-through pick up and an exit onto North Harrison. We will soon be living with this 200-unit housing development. Are there any problems with it? Hazards for children: The proposed path from Grover Park baseball fields to the apartments and shopping center stores begins at the only vehicular access to the fields for dropping equipment and supplies off from cars and for maintenance. Amenity: Elimination of the covered walkway at what is now the Walgreen’s end of the shopping center. (Bad weather exercisers and dog walkers take notice!) Fire hazard: Will fire trucks have difficulty reaching the new building from the courtyard side given the narrow road access from the south? Drainage during heavy storms: The drainage plan for parking uses 1986 data. Does anyone find that reasonable, given that we had three rain events in excess of 3 inches this past summer? Congestion: Trucks will not be permitted at the apartment development’s end of the shopping center. This will bring more truck congestion at the McCaffrey’s end. Money for schools: The 200 apartments will obviously include some children. The developer has been granted “payment in lieu of taxes” which does not include any funds designated for increased schooling expenses. Affordable housing: The plan includes 40 affordable housing units. But the affordable housing units disappear after 30 years. None of the concessions given the developer disappear then. The Planning Board is moving ahead with approval of Avalon’s proposal with remarkable speed and apparently little interest in citizen participation. For example: No chat permitted: Other Princeton government zoom meetings permit citizen participants to find one another through the chat. In the September 29 meeting of the Planning Board the chat was disabled. No sharing of phone numbers by attendees allowed: Kept TT 10.33x829 Open House Fall Ad_v4.pdf out of theStuart chat School at theOCT September meeting, I tried to give1 my phone number during the Q&A period so people could

contact me. I was interrupted and not permitted to share my phone number. AvalonBay’s architect given permission not to be present at the next meeting: For a major apartment development with citizen interest, this seems remarkable. No public announcement of the proposed October 14 meeting: As of October 11, no announcement or agenda have appeared on the Princeton government website for the October 14 Planning Board meeting. I have lived in Princeton for over 40 years. At 80, I do not know how much longer I will be around, but I care dearly about my town, its people, and its future. I know that Princeton needs more affordable housing. I support that with all my heart. But am I wrong to hope for thoughtful development that includes affordable housing and notices Princeton’s other needs? DAWN DAY Meadowbrook Drive

BOE Candidate Franceschi is Worker, Organizer, and Gets Things Done

To the Editor: Mara Franceschi is running for School Board and I, as an educator for over 20 years, believe we are indeed fortunate to have her as a candidate. This woman is full of energy, enthusiasm, and is keenly interested in lending her considerable talents to help improve our Princeton schools. With the changes in the school administration, I believe now is an important time to add some fresh eyes to the School Board team. Mara is actively involved with all levels of the Princeton schools through her three children. She combines the experience of an involved parent with her professional background in finance, a worthy combination of abilities to have on our Board. Mara listens. She is a worker, an organizer, and gets things done. She has my vote and hopefully yours too. PAM WETHERILL Governors Lane

As the guest conductor, Mexican born Marianna Corichi Gomez’s skill in communicating the nuances of Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring was strong as well as sensitive.

Hoping Strong Community Response Will Persuade PU to Rethink Prospect Plans

To the Editor: I am always glad to see the latest issue of Princeton University’s Community Connections newsletter in our mailbox. The offerings and updates there remind me that Princeton University was an added advantage when a career relocation brought our family to this town in 2003. The University’s beautiful setting and generous offerings to “townies” like ourselves were also one of the reasons why we decided to downsize but stay here after I retired from ETS in 2020. There is a sense in which the community encompasses the University and the University enriches the community. Therefore, I continue to struggle to understand the move by the University to demolish houses on Prospect Avenue. There was no article on that in the latest issue of Community Connections; perhaps because this move discomfits many residents and seems to violate that spirit of community. In a community, if you are taking an action that would affect your neighbors you go over and have a talk with them to let them know that a tree might be coming down or construction might be occurring. In this case, Princeton University seems not to have attempted that kind of consultation and, from the statements of its officials, appears to believe that such consultation is unnecessary. Such a stance is a mistake in the community, but at this stage it is not irreparable. I hope that the strong response by the community to an unnecessary demolition that we believe would create harmful change to one of the most beautiful avenues in New Jersey will persuade Princeton University belatedly to rethink their plans. Obviously, such a situation calls for full-fledged communication in which parties do not speak past each other, but speak to each other. Such communication requires not just an expression of one’s existing views, but also active solicitation of the views of others. When a polarity of views exists as in this matter, the first step in such an interdependent situation is to try to understand the other side’s concerns. Such communication leads to compromise that provides a good enough outcome for all concerned. I sincerely hope that will be the case here in our community as we approach the next meeting of the Princeton Planning Board on Thursday, October 21. I hope that all members of the community will consider attending what could be a turning point in this relationship. T.J. ELLIOTT Cedar Lane

Friends of the Princeton Public Library Thank Supporters of Kickoff for Beyond Words 2021

To the Editor: The Friends of the Princeton Public Library would like to thank everyone who joined us on October 9 for the kickoff event for Beyond Words 2021. It was a gift to be able to gather in person on Hinds Plaza in celebration of the hard work and dedication of our library staff in keeping our Princeton community connected, informed, and entertained. The conversation with Professor David Bellos, internationally acclaimed translator and biographer, was engaging and educational for all. We are grateful to our lead sponsor, The Gould Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, and to all our individual donors and corporate sponsors for making Beyond Words 2021 a success. Beyond Words 2021 will continue with two virtual events this fall. Separate tickets for each of these virtual events are now available on the Library’s website (princetonlibrary.org) for $60 each. On November 12, we will host a virtual conversation with journalist and novelist Omar El Akkad, whose debut novel, American War, was an international best-seller. His recently released novel, What Strange Paradise, has been short-listed for the Scotiabank Giller Prize which recognizes excellence in Canadian fiction. Mr. El Akkad will be in conversation with Deborah Amos, the Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University and an NPR international correspondent. Our second virtual event will be December 3 with author (and former Princeton resident) Jean Hanff Korelitz. Her latest work, The Plot, was Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon’s pick as the best Summer Read for 2021 and her novel, You Should Have Known, was adapted for the HBO hit, The Undoing. Ms. Korelitz will be in conversation with longtime friends, and Friends of the Library, Peter Ham and Eve Niedergang. The Library’s place as a center of gravity in our community has continued to grow and evolve, supported by the unwavering generosity of our donors and sponsors. We thank all our “Friends” and look forward to another great program on November 12. If you haven’t yet bought your tickets, please join us for an upcoming virtual Beyond Words program in support of the Library.

PPBC Board Shows Support for New Riverside School Principal

We, the Executive Board of Princeton Parents for Black Children (PPBC), declare our full support for Riverside Elementary School’s new Principal Ebony Lattimer and express our concern and dismay regarding the efforts of a small group of parents, some anonymously, lobbying for her resignation. PPBC is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to advocate for equity and to support all Black children in the Princeton Public School District. Although our focus is ensuring that Black children in this district can enjoy the full benefits of this education system despite the persistence of systemic and institutional racism, we are keenly aware that our work ultimately benefits all the children in this district. Less than two months into her tenure, Principal Lattimer has demonstrated her willingness to make difficult decisions to improve the educational environment for all children at Riverside. Her decision to transform traditional celebrations, such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day, into more inclusive, less emotionally disruptive and more educationally appropriate events for all students was long overdue. Unfortunately, modifying tradition in Princeton is difficult, especially in this instance where the tradition that is truly threatened by an independent principal is that of privileged parents who insist on an outsized role in school management and operations. Principal Lattimer, who was selected to steward Riverside by a diverse committee of stakeholders and hired by Superintendent Dr. Carol Kelley, arrived in the district at To the Editor, the end of August. Undoubtedly, such a late start presented We write in support of Brian McDonald’s re-election to mutual communication challenges for the new principal the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. We have

and some Riverside parents. We believe, Principal Lattimer has responded admirably to the challenges and the unjustifiable vitriol of a few parents. By delaying her decision to transform Halloween and Valentine’s Day to make them more appropriate for all elementary school students, she has demonstrated a willingness to work more closely with parents to make sure they understand the pedagogical and equity-based reasons for changes to school tradition. We support and applaud those parents who responded reasonably by assuring Principal Lattimer that we are truly a welcoming and compassionate community open to her leadership in favor of all our children. We want to make it abundantly clear that we will not stand idly by while educators (of any racial, religious or ethnic background) committed to improving the education of all students are unreasonably attacked by those interested in protecting their privilege. We ask and expect that our true allies will not remain silent either. THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF PRINCETON PARENTS FOR BLACK CHILDREN

BOOK/RECORD REVIEW

Paul Simon at 80 — A New York Story Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike They’ve all come to look for America ... —Paul Simon inger-songwriter Paul Simon marks his 80th birthday today, Wednesday, October 13. Incredible but true, this is the first time I’ve written about him, unless you count the caption headed “A Hazy Shade of Winter” I wrote for the front page photo of a snow scene on January 26, 2011. Sharing the same page in the same issue is a photo of someone I’ve come back to again and again over the years, Simon’s fellow New Yorker, J.D. Salinger, who died in January 2010. As Holden Caulfield would say, “if you really want to know about it,” I’ve always thought of Simon as a Salinger character, like maybe Holden’s brilliant, long lost song-writing baseballplaying cousin from Queens. Also incredible but true, the last time I was in the city was in early November 2019, for the J.D. Salinger centenary exhibit at the New York Public Library. And the last time I was in Simon’s New York was the other night listening to “Bleecker Street” and “The Sound of Silence” from Simon and Garfunkel’s debut album, Wednesday Morning 3 A.M. He’s In Your Head Comparing poetry and popular music, Billy Collins, another New Yorker who grew up in Queens, points out that because “pop songs get into people’s heads as they listen in the car, you don’t have to memorize a Paul Simon song; it’s just in your head and you can sing along. With a poem you have to will yourself to memorize it.” The Simon songs playing most often in my head over the years along with “Sounds of Silence” have been “Dangling Conversation,” “Homeward Bound,” “59th Street Bridge Song (Feeling Groovy)” “Slip Slidin’ Away,” “The Boxer,” and “America,” along with lines like “Where have you gone Joe DiMaggio, our nation turns its lonely eyes to you,” from “Mrs. Robinson,” the song heard ‘round the nation on the soundtrack of The Graduate (1966). Subway Walls Earlier this year when a friend who was parting with old records asked if I wanted any, I picked Wednesday Morning 3 A.M., which has a cover photo set in the same Fifth Avenue subway station my train used to go through every school day morning. So you could say I’ve had a passing acquaintance with the stanchion Simon is leaning against holding a guitar and looking lonely even with Art Garfunkel standing next to him neatly dressed in suit and tie. The yellow-gold blur made by the train passing through at that moment lends an expressionistic touch to an otherwise underwhelming photo. If “The Sound of Silence” is the song in your head, you won’t

find “the words of the prophets” written on this subway wall — unless you count a whiskey ad and the message You Can Help/Throw It Here on a nearby trash bin. The sleeve notes are framed as a letter from Garfunkel to Simon in which he provides a “listener’s guide” to the album, focusing on “The Sound of Silence” as “a major work” begun in November 1963 and finished on February 19, 1964, when “the song practically wrote itself.” In Paul Simon: A Life (Simon & Schuster 2018), Robert Hilburn ends his prologue with reference to “the birth of Simon’s first great song” during “a period of trauma” when “his world changed” with the assassination of President Kennedy. After spending “hours despondent in his bedroom,” Simon “took his guitar into the family bathroom, where the tile made the sound all the more alluring,” sw itched of f t he lights per his custom, and started softly fingerpicking” until he hit “some warmly evocative notes that he played over and over again .... As he sat alone, these words eventually burst forth: ‘Hello darkness, my old friend.’ “ In a later chapter, Hilburn quotes Simon’s thoughts on the lyric’s reference to walking alone on “narrow streets of cobblestone”: “I was probably t h i n k i ng about Manhattan, the Village ... just putting myself into that world of singers who were writing about the world around them.” Where’s New York? Voted Best Simon’s references to the city stir memoFurniture ries of the singers and players Store who once frequented Washington Square, another reminder that it’s been almost two years since I was in the city. Although the pandemic is the obvious explanation, I no longer feel the same need to simply be there, walking the streets, making the rounds of record stores and secondhand book stores (the few that have survived), especially when I think of the beanpole skyscrapers that have sprouted up among the towers overlooking Holden Caulfield’s Central Park, or the “luxury living” high-rises regularly advertised in the New York Times magazine, like “NYC’s Top-Selling Building,” 57 unaffordable stories of “Global design, rooted in Brooklyn.” In Simon’s “America,” he takes a poet’s possession of the New Jersey Turnpike,

counting the cars that have all come to look for America in the form of the city the singer and his girlfriend are rolling toward in a Greyhound from Pittsburgh. There’s a sense of awe and wonder and hope in the idea of the nation epitomized in its largest city. But that was in the late sixties when the metropolis was still more or less equal to Walt Whitman’s “Human and heroic New York.” Or maybe one reason the singer’s feeling “lost,” “empty and aching” is that he senses what’s looming on the other side of the millennium. There’s a sequel of sorts in two songs from Simon’s 2011 album So Beautiful or So What. Discussing the composition of “Questions for Angels,” he calls the last verse “the payoff, the final question for the angels” — “If every human on the planet / And all the buildings on it / Should disappear / Would a zebra grazing in the African savannah / Care enough to shed one zebra tear?” There’s an explicit connection between “America” and “Rewrite,” a song about a burnedout Vietnam vet who ends up as “the old guy working at the car wash / Hasn’t got a brain cell left / Since Vietnam.” Calling it “a generational song,” Simon says he played it in concert b efor e “A m e r i c a,” having realized that “the kid” who gets on the bus in Pittsburgh is “the old guy at the car wash. That guy is some version of me, my generation.” Thinking Angels During walks around Manhattan, especially in the Village, I used to think on Simon’s line “angels in the architecture,” from the 1986 song “You Can Call Me Al.” I heard the line “in my head” loud and clear on my last trip to the city. No wonder, I was in the magnificent Beaux Arts building on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 42nd, taking a side trip from the Salinger exhibit to the Edward Laning murals surrounding the third-floor McGraw Rotunda. Whenever I’m there, I think of the day 40 years ago, May 1981, when the painter of The Story of the Word lay dying at St. Vincent’s. As always on these pilgrimages, I imagine viewing the scene in the rotunda through his eyes, so much human movement, phones flashing, people from all over the world milling about. The two Korean girls making room for me on the marble bench were both sketching Moses with the Tablets of the Law, one of

the four massive panels below the ceiling mural of Prometheus catching the fire of knowledge from the gods. Simon Steals Home What can I say, only in October, when “the nation turns its lonely eyes to” playoff baseball, does the image of Prometheus inspire thoughts of a cosmic ballplayer making a spectacular over-the-shoulder catch. “The first sound Paul Simon fell in love with was the crack of a baseball against a Louisville Slugger” — so begins the first paragraph of Hilburn’s biography: “He could even tell you the moment: the summer of 1948 when, at age 6, he sat down with his father to listen to his first game on the radio” and immediately “got caught up in the excitement of the announcer’s voice (most notably, the ebullient Mel Allen) and the cheers of the Yankee Stadium crowd.” According to Hilburn, as Simon’s allegiance to the Yankees grew, “the games had such a powerful effect on Paul’s mood that his mother had to listen in to the afternoon broadcasts to keep track of the score. If the Yankees lost, she knew there was no point in defrosting a steak, because Paul would be so upset he wouldn’t eat.” By the time he was 10, Simon was playing in neighborhood pick-up games. By junior high school, in Hilburn’s words, “he knew that his dream of playing for the Yankees was threatened by an issue that would plague him for years: his size.” He was around five feet tall at a time when the shortest players in the majors were five six. He was still so short his senior year at Forest Hills High School that he almost didn’t make the team. Despite his size, he batted over .300 and showed enough speed on the base paths to hit leadoff in the batting order. His greatest moment on the field was “when he pulled off one of baseball’s rarest and most exciting plays: stealing home to tie the score in a game Forest Hills went on to win.” The headline in the Long Island Press, shown in Hilburn’s biography, said “Simon Steals Home.” Six decades later, a framed reproduction of the article was still displayed on a wall in his Manhattan office. hen Simon failed to make the team at Queen’s College the following year, the sound of ball on bat had given way to the sound of rock ‘n’ roll. As for his fellow New Yorker J.D. Salinger, I can’t prove that Holden had a fictional ballplaying cousin from Queens, but I do know that he ghostwrote a paper for his roommate at Pencey Prep about his dead brother Allie’s left-handed fielder’s mitt, which Allie had written poems on in green ink, “so he’d have something to read when he was in the field and nobody was at bat.” —Stuart Mitchner

MUSIC REVIEW

PU Orchestra Celebrates Live Performance with Viennese, American, and Russian Orchestral Music

fter more than a year and a half, Princeton University Orchestra has resumed live performance in Richardson Auditorium, so one would think the musical world has returned to normal — but not quite. More than 100 strong, the University Orchestra performed two concerts this past weekend, but with players in masks (including the winds), no formal intermission, and ushers reminding audience members to keep their masks up and not congregate in the hallways, it was clear that things were slightly different than before the University shut down last spring. It was also evident that multi-page printed programs may be a thing of the past — audiences on Friday and Saturday night could refer to cards listing the program with a QR code to scan for more detailed information. Some things never change, despite an 18-month “Luftpause” in the Orchestra’s performing life. The Richardson space on Friday night’s first of the Orchestra’s Peter Westergaard Memorial Concerts was full of students eagerly waiting to see their friends onstage and Princeton residents who turned out to hear the full orchestra resonate in the Richardson acoustics. Under the direction of conductors Michael Pratt and Mariana Corichi Gómez, the University Orchestra delivered a performance of both elegant and opulent symphonic music. To celebrate the return to Richardson, Pratt opened the concert with a violin concerto by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart which brought out the composer’s playful side. The chamber-sized Orchestra was joined in Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 in G Major by recent Princeton University graduate Hana Mundiya. A member of the class of 2020 who has an incredible number of performance credits for someone her age, Mundiya fit right into the light and refreshing orchestral texture which conductor Pratt elicited from the ensemble. Pairs of flutes and horns added color to the orchestral palette but were not overpowering, with the oboes demonstrating particularly well-tuned thirds throughout the work. Mundiya’s solo violin emerged elegantly from the musical texture in the first movement, with repetitions of phrases stylistically delicate. The ornamental figures in the solo line were clear, and Mundiya effectively took her time in the cadenza closing the first movement. A lean sectional violin I sound opened the second movement “Adagio,” with Mozart adding flutes rather than oboes for a contrasting effect. Mundiya’s solo playing in this movement was sweet and aria-like — as tender as any of Mozart’s operatic arias. Pratt and the Orchestra closed the Concerto with a teasing and rollicking “Rondeau,” emphasizing the variety of instrumental colors within the

movement. Mundiya played a swirling and joyous cadenza to this final movement, as the players effectively executed the unusual yet uplifting ending to the piece. Aaron Copland composed the 1944 ballet Appalachian Spring with a fresh and open orchestral palette representing spring and renewal — very suitable for this University ensemble restart. With wide intervals and sweeping harmonies, this work has always reflected a truly American sound. With a very full stage of players (and in particular an army of strings), Friday night’s performance featured guest conductor Gómez, a 2021 graduate of the University and recent addition to the Department of Music staff. Opening the Copland work with Neerav Kumar’s elegant clarinet solo, Gómez took her time with the tempo, setting up the first movement familiar string theme slowly and suspensefully. Throughout the work, the Orchestra m a i nt a i n e d b ot h d e c i s i ve n e s s a n d spaciousness, with musical sections changing well, especially leading to the final “Simple Gifts” passages. Graceful w i n d s olo s a n d d u e t s were h e ard throughout, as well as clean unison strings and solo playing from concertmistress Emiri Morita. Gómez closed the Copland work well with broad conducting strokes leading the Orchestra through the familiar “Simple Gifts” melody, keeping an agile lilt to the tune. An especially effective duet was also heard between trios of trumpets and trombones. Conductor Pratt chose a towering symphonic work to really show off the University Orchestra’s return to the live stage. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s programmatic Scheherazade is a tour de force for both ensemble and solo instrumental playing. The University O rche s t ra a n nou nce d t h is m u s ic a l interpretation of 1001 Arabian Nights with a rich sectional sound from the lower basses, contrasted with clean flute and clarinet playing. Exceptional solo work was heard from concertmaster Bryant So, playing improvisatory passages gracefully accompanied by harp. This piece served well to slow the full and lavish symphonic sound for which the University Orchestra has become known. ike the Copland piece, Scheherazade abounded in instrumental solos, including from oboist Vedrana Ivezic, flutist Christine Deng, and trumpeter Trevor Holmes. Violinist So’s intricate double-stop playing in the final movement, together with swirling flute solos, clean horns and subtle percussion, aided in bringing the Rimsky-Korsakov’s complex and challenging symphonic work to a close, confirming the University Orchestra’s return to a prominent place on the Princeton musical landscape. —Nancy Plum

Eve’s Diary

THEATER REVIEW

“Eve’s Diary” Explores the Garden of Eden from a Unique Point of View; Theatre Intime Offers a Staged Reading of Twain’s Witty, Poignant Work

ve’s Diary is a witty but poignant re-imagining of events in the Garden of Eden. Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) writes from the title character’s point of view, adding intermittent comments from Adam. First published in 1905, this anachronistic version of Genesis is strikingly relevant in its satire on conflicts in relationships between men and women, as well as its consideration of the search for one’s identity and purpose. Twain’s story first appeared in the Christmas issue of Harper’s Bazaar, and subsequently in the anthology Their Husband’s Wives. In 1906 Harper and Brothers published it as a book. It is a successor to Extracts from Adam’s Diary (1893). On October 10 Princeton University’s Theatre Intime presented a live, in-person staged reading of Eve’s Diary, at the Hamilton Murray Theater. Both the cast and the audience were masked. Director Anna Allport reveals in a program note that she performed a monologue from the story in high school, and was enamored of the work’s “delightfulness and surprising complexity,” as well as Eve’s endless curiosity, headstrong spirit, and unshaken optimism.” Because the presentation is a staged reading, the only production element is the lighting by Greyson Sapio. An apple, placed in the center at the edge of the stage, is the only prop. However, there is enough movement to provide visual interest. Allport keeps the pacing tight by avoiding pauses between monologues. Twain’s prose is divided among seven actors; four actors share Eve’s lines, and three read for Adam. As Eve, Oriana Nelson opens the show. She stands up, and — with spring in her step — moves toward center stage. “Saturday — I am almost a day old,” she recites, gesturing expressively. Twain immediately imbues Eve with a mixture of self-confidence and philosophical introspection. “I feel like an experiment,” she muses early in the story, though she senses that her experiences will be “important to the historian some day.” Nelson accentuates Eve’s self-confidence. The next segment, read by Sheherzad Jamal, reveals that Eve feels free to comment on the new creation of which she is a part. She is saddened by the moon’s disappearance. “It breaks my heart to think of it. There isn’t another thing among the ornaments and decorations that is comparable to it for beauty and finish. It

should have been fastened better.” Jamal introduces Eve’s sentimental side, and her ability to appreciate beauty. This is developed in lines read by Madeline Buswell. “I do love moons, they are so pretty and so romantic,” Eve gushes. I wish we had five or six; I would never go to bed; I should never get tired lying on the moss-bank and looking up at them.” Soon Eve encounters Adam, “the other experiment.” At this point Allport introduces an effective bit of staging. The performers have been lined up in a row, seated on blocks, sorted by character. Those playing Adam are on the audience’s left, while the Eves are on the right. Until this point, the actors reading for Eve have never moved too far into the “Adam” side of the stage; there has been an invisible boundary at the center. Now, Nelson as Eve crosses that boundary, moving all the way to the other side of the stage. Eve refers to Adam as a man, but she is not entirely certain what he is. (“I think it is a reptile, though it may be architecture.”) As Eve describes Adam, one of the actors portraying him — Ally Wonski — raises her arms, as though flexing her muscles, in a caricature of masculine swagger.

Initially Eve fears Adam, until she realizes (after he hastily climbs a tree for refuge) that he is equally afraid of her. As with the mountains, she is not completely impressed with Adam; she objects to his attempts to catch fish (which she thinks should be left alone), as well as his inability to appreciate the beauty of stars. But in lines read by Elliot Lee, Eve — who says that she loves to talk — expresses excitement at discovering Adam can speak. Lee paces the stage and uses rapid, wide gestures, he accentuating Eve’s exuberance. Later, when his Eve discovers fire, he triumphantly spins. (Adam, in one of Wonski’s segments, inquires about the fire and picks up some coal, but puts it down out of disinterest.) Another of Lee’s segments develops Eve’s relationship with Adam. “I study to be useful to him in every way I can, so as to increase his regard … I have taken all the work of naming things off his hands.” However, her efforts are scarcely appreciated. Adam is disinterested in learning Eve’s name, or in telling him hers. At one point he even refuses to give her shelter from the rain. Buswell reads, “I could make him understand that a loving good heart is riches.”

Slowly rising from her block and sauntering around the stage, Mel Hornyak reads one of Adam’s monologues, which conveys condescending tolerance. “I ought to remember that she is very young … if she could quiet down and keep still a couple minutes at a time, it would be a reposeful spectacle.” But the monologue ends, “Once when she was standing marble-white and sun-drenched on a boulder… I recognized that she was beautiful.” But a segment read by Jill Leung expresses Adam’s impatience that Eve has “no discrimination” regarding animals, asserting that in her disastrous attempt to ride a brontosaurus, she “would have hurt herself but for me.” Twain does not dramatize the banishment from Eden, choosing instead to jump forward in time. Eventually it is 40 years after the main story. We see Eve mourn the loss of the garden, but content in her life with Adam (“The Garden is lost but I have found him.”). Reflecting on the complexities of love, Eve admits that she feels ignorant and inexperienced — an upsetting departure from her earlier selfassurance. In both the program notes and the postshow talkback, Allport reveals that what lead her to propose to direct the show was the final line. At Eve’s grave Adam says, “Wheresoever she was, there was Eden.” This quote is both moving and, given Adam’s attitude throughout much of the story, incongruous. As Allport notes in the talkback, the line comes as much from Twain himself as it does from the character of Adam. Twain’s wife, Olivia Langdon Clemens, had died in 1904 (a year before the publication of Eve’s Diary), and the quote is likely a tribute to her. Audiences who associate Twain’s output with Tom Sawyer may have been surprised at how contemporary Eve’s Diary sounds. Of course, blogs and social media posts form a modern equivalent to recording one’s thoughts and experiences in a diary. t also has to do with the universality of the issues being examined. Eve’s Diary would work well as a solo show. But Allport’s decision to cast multiple actors, enabling us to hear Twain’s prose delivered by diverse voices, lets Theatre Intime’s production bring that universality to the forefront. —Donald H. Sanborn III

“EVE’S DIARY”: Theatre Intime has staged a reading of “Eve’s Diary,” presented October 10 at the Hamilton Murray Theater. Directed by Anna Allport ’23, the show dramatizes Mark Twain’s retelling of the Creation story. Adam (Ally Wonski, standing left) and Eve (Oriana Nelson, standing right) meet. Seated, from left, are Mel Hornyak, Jill Leung, Elliot Lee, Madeline Buswell, and Sheherzad Jamal.

COMPANION SPECIES (CALLING ALL MY RELATIONS): This work by Marie Watt is featured in “Companion Species (At What Cost): The Works of Marie Watt,” one of four new exhibitions on “FOUND, GIFTED, SAVED!” This Fly Tying Kit is part of a new exhibit of Bucks County artifacts, on view at the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, Pa., October 15 through April 10. view through January 9 at the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton.

Four New Exhibitions at Hunterdon Art Museum

The Hunterdon Art Museum now presents four new exhibitions, on view until January 9. “Companion Species (At What Cost): The Works of Marie Watt” spotlights two textile works assembled from panels of cloth embroidered during sewing circles. Watt pieced together these smaller panels into t wo monumental tapestries: in 2020, the 16 ½ -foot-long Companion Species (At What Cost), and, in 2018, the 17 ½-foot-long Companion Species ( Calling All My Relations) . Watt (born 1967) is an American artist and citizen of the Seneca Nation of Indians, one of the six tribes of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Watt has continued a tradition in Indigenous art, in which Indigenous insight is engendered at the exhibition venue. About her sewing circles, Watt says that “stories and talk tend to flow,” bringing people together, and that “each person’s stitch is unique, like a thumbprint. As the threads intersect and blend, I see them as a metaphor for how we are all related.” At the center of this show are Watt’s diverse textile works. The selection presented foregrounds what she calls “Iroquois protofeminism and Indigenous teaching.” These include at least two overlapping topics: the recognition of Indigenous matriarchies (predating modern feminism by centuries, hence Watt’s use of the prefix proto); and the recognition of Indigenous ecological traditions of profound interconnection between people and the Earth. “Alisha Wormsley: Remnants of An Advanced Technology” focuses on Wormsley’s well-known work with Black futurism, a genre that reimagines Black life with a futuristic style. The show incorporates images from Wormsley’s established body

of work, “Children of NAN,” which can be described as an archive of objects, photos, video footage, films, sounds, philosophies, myths, rituals, and performances she has been compiling for over a decade to document the ways that Black women care for themselves, each other, and the Earth. This exhibition debuts a new multimedia installation by Wormsley, including dozens of new works from 2021 shown for the first time. “D oug Her ren : C olorForms/Ceramic Structures” features the whimsical, vibrant pieces of Philadelphiabased artist Doug Herren, whose sculptures appear to be comprised of common objects like building blocks, pipes, and fittings, but in unexpected and quirky combinations. According to Herren, his work explore s i nvok i ng vessel references in largescale forms reminiscent of abandoned industrial tools, gaudily colored. He uses clay to fashion both stands and tables, and the pottery forms cobbled together from wheel-throw n and handbuilt components. “I aspire to attain in my work the wedding of the prosaic yet intimate qualities of functional pottery to the more assertive power of industrial tools, both relegated to an age more closely attuned to human labor and striving,” said Herren. “It is less a matter of describing a sense of loss than to invoke wonder and curiosity in the work I now produce.” Lastly, the Hunterdon Art Museum showcases members in “2021 Members Exhibition,” a yearly juried exhibition that features artists working in various mediums, including clay sculpture, photography, glass, fiber, oils, acrylics, and collage. This year’s Members Exhibition features Amy Becker, Zenna Broomer, Patricia Cudd, Yael Eisner, Meeta Garg, Valerie Huhn, Betty Jacobsen, Julia Justo, Rebecca Kelly, Myungwon Kim,

“A Return to Art” Pop-Up Exhibition

Montgomery Township’s new Arts Council is hosting “A Return to Art,” a threeday visual arts exhibition and sale, October 22-24, featuring local and regional New Jersey artists. The Arts Council was formed this year by Montgomery Township’s volunteer-driven Economic Development Committee in order to showcase local and regional artists while providing the community with inperson access to artists who might be their neighbors. “This event is meant to be a celebration. Ar tists and their communities are craving meaningful connection after spending over 16 months in lockdown.” said Karen Tuveson, chair of Montgomery’s Arts Council. “Like other business and industries, artists’ venues closed and all future events were canceled when quarantine hit. Artists had work left in closed galleries and museums. Slowly opportunities are returning, but there still aren’t enough venues for artists to exhibit, meet the public, and cultivate collectors. Art is something best experienced in person.” D eput y Mayor Mar v i n Schuldiner, liaison to the Montgomery Township Economic Development Commission, pointed out that artists who create physical products are small business owners. “Making art is a business. We all want to support our small local businesses. Artists are struggling just as much as shop owners in brick-and-mortar buildings.” “A Return to Art” will be held at 1060 Route 206 (State Road), Princeton, in the GfK building, just south of the Princeton Airport entrance, and will feature regional New Jersey artists from a variety of mediums.

The event kicks off with a ticketed reception to meet the artists on Friday, October 22 from 6-9 p.m., with wine, appetizers, and live music. On Saturday and Sunday, October 23 and 24, the exhibit will be open for the public at no cost from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds from “A Return to Art” will be directed towards a scholarship fund for arts-bound students as well as future community-based Arts Council programs.

“Found, Gifted, Saved!” Artifacts Exhibition at Mercer Museum

The Mercer Museum in Doylestown, Pa., operated by the Bucks County Historical Society (BCHS), has announced its new major ex hibit, “Found, Gif ted, Saved! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History,” on view in the Martin & Warwick Foundation Galleries from October 15 through April 10, 2022. The exhibit displays a vast array of artifacts collected by the Bucks County Historical Society between the years of 2000 and 2021. These objects, images, and documents help illuminate the people, history, and culture of Bucks County. “Found, Gifted, Saved!” consists of a series of thematic groupings that connect diverse objects, images, and documents in a meaningful and thought-provoking way. These groupings are intended to suggest themes that range chronologically and geographically across Bucks County’s past. Highlighted artifacts on display include a Brewster F2A “Buffalo” Fighter Cockpit, a Joseph Ellicott Tall Case Clock, a Brashears Family Crazy Quilt, and a Graflex Press Camera of Gene Asro. Bucks County Historical Society’s Vice President of Collections and Interpretation Cory Amsler said, “A huge challenge for museums collecting local history is to adequately represent — in objects, images, and documents — the full complexity of a community’s past and the diversity of its people. We hope this exhibit launches a conversation with visitors about what we have been able to capture, what we have missed, and whether the things we’ve acquired help tell the stories that are most impor tant and relevant to us as Bucks County residents.” Members of the Bucks County Historical Society

are invited to preview the exhibit early at a dedicated Member Morning on Friday, October 15, with reserved timed-ticket entr y exclusively offered for members online. “Found, Gifted, Saved ! The Mercer Museum Collects Local History” is included with general Mercer Museum admission. In addition, the Mercer Museum will host a slate of community programs related to the exhibit throughout the season. The Mercer Museum is located at 84 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa., is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. via timed-entry slots. Advance tickets are highly recom mended.

“FEATHERS”: Works by Miriam Carpenter are featured in “Shaping the Ethereal,” her first solo show at the Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa. The exhibition is on view through March 20. On November 11, at 6 studio which have unfolded Miriam Carpenter Exhibit At Michener Art Museum p.m., Michener Art Museum over the years have been

The Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, Pa., now presents “Miriam Carpenter: Shaping the Ethereal,” an exhibition showcasing sculpture, furniture, prints, and drawings by woodworker, designer, and artist Miriam Carpenter. It is on view through March 20. In this exhibition, her first solo show at the Michener Art Museum, Carpenter explores the possibilities within materials as she seeks to create new forms and solve challenging design problems. Appearing deceptively simple at first glance, each of Carpenter’s pieces involve complex calculations and an intimate understanding of her chosen material. Laura Igoe, Michener’s chief curator and curator of the exhibition, said, “Miriam Carpenter’s work is strikingly beautiful and amazingly complex. She draws inspiration from the natural world and encourages viewers to be more attuned to the beauty that surrounds us, from the smallest feather to the largest tree.” A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Carpenter developed her deep appreciation for materials during the seven years she de sig ne d f ur n it ure w it h Mira Nakashima, daughter of woodworker, architect, and furniture maker George Nakashima (19051990). At George Nakashima Woodworkers studio in New Hope, Pa., Carpenter learned to read the life of a tree through the knots, veins, and rings of its wood. Carpenter discovered that “each tree has its own experience and characteristics uniquely formed by its geographical location, the effects of the seasons, wind, rain, and what grew beside it. The history of each year is physically recorded in each ring slowly reacting to external and internal stresses after it has died and been cut into lumber. Reading this story in the grain is just as exciting to me as transforming it into an artifact.” In 2012, she began carving small, intricate feathers, featured in the exhibition, that incorporate the wood’s grain pattern and structure into the object’s final design. These wood feathers are exceedingly thin and finely detailed. To Carpenter, they symbolize “that which is ethereal … a testament to the resilience of nature.”

will host a Women in Craft Panel Discussion, bringing together women exper ts and expert practitioners in contemporary woodworking. Moderated by Emily Zilber, director of curatorial affairs and strategic partnerships at the Wharton Esherick Museum, panelists include Mira Nakashima, president and creative director of George Nakashima Woodworkers; Jennifer-Navva Milliken, artistic director of the Center for Art in Wood; and Carpenter. The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. Hours are Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. For more information, visit MichenerArtMuseum.org or call (215) 340-9800.

“Talk to Me” Joint Exhibit at Arts Council

The Arts Council of Princeton will exhibit “Talk to Me,” a collection of abstract paintings by longtime friends and collaborators Janet Filomeno and Katherine Parker, October 16 through November 20. The public is invited to an opening reception on Saturday, October 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. Filomeno and Parker met in Hoboken in 1991. They felt an immediate affinity as both were painters of large, expressionist works. Each were grappling with the challenges of finding new language to reinvent and personalize the ideas of abstract painting for their generation. A conversation started between the two friends that has continued over 25-plus years, and both have continued to paint and show extensively in the New York/New Jersey area. The visits to the

an impor tant touchstone for each, a means of trying out and sharing new work, of examining challenges. A trusted voice is paramount as this process takes place. “When artists are friends, they spend years, even decades, watching one another’s work change and grow,” Filomeno and Parker share. “They talk together in studios, galleries, museums, and cafes, discussing the intersection of life and art. These conversations are so important to artists, as a studio practice is quiet and sometimes lonely. The shorthand developed over years of conversation can ignite a body of work, deepen a theme or reimagine an idea just beginning to take shape. It’s no surprise that such friendships have historically been so important to the development of new ideas and schools of thought.” Parker’s new works address the themes of memory, time and loss. The large, painterly pieces are conceived slowly by adding layer after layer of thin oil paint, the forms and marks appearing and receding as the finished painting emerges. Parker has shown her work at MOMA/PS1, the Newark Museum, the Jersey City Museum, Spanierman Modern, Heidi Cho Gallery, Accola Littlejohn Gallery, and many other venues in New York and New Jersey. She is the recipient of a Yaddo Fellowship, an Edward Albee Fellowship, and NJ State Council for the Arts grant. She has lectured at many museums and universities in the area about her work. Filomeno is best known for her large-scale gestural, abstract paintings that employ the use of a variety of materials such as ink, mica, shellac, acrylic paint, graphite,

“BLUE CRYSTALS REVISITED NO. 8”: This work by Janet Filomeno is part of “Talk to Me,” her joint exhibition with Katherine Parker, on view at the Arts Council of Princeton October 16 through November 20. An opening reception is Saturday, October 16 from 3 to 5 p.m. charcoal, paint markers, and at times, collage. By the use of her physical action such as pouring, flinging, and throwing colorful liquids onto the stretched canvas on the floor, she is able to reenact the movement one might sense in oceans, rivers, and other bodies of water. Filomeno has exhibited on both a national and international level. She has been included in many museum exhibits including the Trenton

City Museum, James A. Michener Museum, Morris Museum, Montclair Museum, and the Hunterdon and Paterson museums. Internationally she has exhibited in Japan, China, Korea, Austria, and Italy. In New York City she has exhibited in various galleries including the JCacciola and Walter Wickiser Gallery. In addition to her exhibition history she has taught and lectured at various museums and universi-

ties in the tri-state area. She has been an adjunct professor of art at Montclair State University (18 years) and William Paterson University. The Arts Council of Princeton is located at 102 Wither sp o on St ree t. G a l ler y hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free and open to the public. For more information, visit artscouncilofprinceton.org.

onna M. Murray knew right from the start that a future in real estate was in store for her. After an early career as a flight attendant with American Airlines, she followed the advice of a friend in the real estate business, and approached one of the area companies. She was immediately accepted for training, which involved absorbing a lot of challenging new information, ranging from legalities and mortgages to wetlands and flood insurance, and more. After passing the exam, she was then told to go forth and sell houses.

IT’S NEW To Us

“After the training period and the exam, they said, ‘Now go out, call friends and family to see if anyone wants to buy or sell a house.’ “So I called a friend who I thought might be interested in moving, and I asked her. She said yes, and I listed her property, which sold, and then I was also able to help her buy a new house.” Murray was on her way! New Stage That was 24 years ago, and she hasn’t s topped since. “This is a career that I love,” the sales associate and Realtor says. “I enjoy meeting people and assisting them to achieve their goal. I learn something new every day too, and every day is different.” Now, she has embarked on a new stage in her career, as a founding agent with the independent real estate company Compas s R E’s Princeton location. “I contacted Compass because I thought another independent brokerage would be a good fit in Princeton,” she explains. “Compass is an independent company with locations in 46 states and very experienced and high performing agents. It has different, innovative programs that it can offer me and I can offer to my buyers and sellers that no other company has. “Compass R E supplies me with the office space, and they’re a platform for additional resources. They will assist me with growing my team (whom I have hand-picked), and offer me knowledge of new real estate trends. My clients are my clients, and I am a client of Compass RE. They are all about assisting me with my business and clients.”

Real estate is a booming business right now, with many buyers looking to find a home in Princeton, she reports. This has been true since COV ID -19 spurred many people to leave the cities for the suburbs. “I was lucky during the COVID shut down in March of 2020. I had already listed numerous vacant houses that sold immediately. Adjustments had to be made for buyers to view these properties even though they were vacant. Masks, gloves, booties, keeping closets and kitchen/bath cabinets open (so that buyers did not have to touch anything), lights on (no turning on/off light switches), and disinfecting after each showing. All of this was necessary.” Awesome Place “Princeton is an awesome place to live,” she continues. “We will always have people moving here from the cities. Our location between Philadelphia and New York City and proximity to the ocean and mountains is so desirable. Plus, there are a number of corporate headquarters for tech, pharma, and financial companies.” In addition, online opportunities were helpful during the virus, and these have generally become a mainstay in real estate. “The internet is a powerful marketing tool to give the house its full exposure into the market,” explains Murray. “And it is global. With the advancement in professional photography to include Matterport 3D tours and drone aerial shots, a buyer has a great idea of the house even before entering. But still the buyer likes to go inside to get the feeling of the home and to look over the mechanics of the house to include HVAC, plumbing, roof, and windows.” Location, Location, Location! In today’s market, buyers are looking for certain specifics that will encourage them to react positively to a house. “Location, school system, being able to walk to or have a short drive to town, and proximity to one’s workplace are very important,” points out Murray. “The most popular homes are colonials with four bedrooms for buyers between 30 and 45 with families. Princeton has a variety of excellent schools to choose from, and that is one of the town’s many great attributes. Public, charter, private, and parochial schools are all available.

“The active adult community homes have become extremely popular with the 55-plus population. Typically, these homes don’t have a basement, and offer first floor bedrooms, property maintenance included in the HOA (Homeowners Association), and lower taxes.” Gathering Place As it has always been, the kitchen is the gathering place in the home, and this, along with today’s emphasis on large bathrooms, is a major selling point. “Kitchens are the heart of the home, where everyone gathers many times throughout the day. In addition to bedrooms, bathrooms are really the only place for privacy. Both up -to - date kitchens and bathrooms are extremely popular, and I believe they always will be.” Other important selling points Murray underscores are “mudrooms and numerous closets for people to place items out of sight. Flex spaces — these are areas in the home that can double for different purposes as needed. For example: home office to nursery; a storage room to an exercise room.” Open floor plans remain popular, she adds. “Families can see one another and feel connected throughout the day. Also, if the house is on the small side, it gives it a larger feeling. The same is true of the height of the ceilings. The higher the ceiling, the larger the room feels.” For those interested in selling, Mur ray of fers a number of suggestions to help them achieve a desired outcome. It is important to set the stage, and getting the house ready for viewing by prospective buyers is crucial. Best Condition “When a house goes on the market, it should be in its best condition possible. Never rush unless it is unavoidable. People prepare for tests, prepare for events, and prepare for trips. Why not prepare for selling your house? It will certainly get you more value out of your most expensive asset. Simply painting goes a long way to refresh a house. It is inexpensive, and can be done by the seller. Modern colors can make any home sparkle. Decluttering and packing unused items (you need to pack anyway!) will make your home look bigger. Making sure the front of the house is clean and inviting is major because buyers know within the first three to five seconds if the house is for them.”

Chasing Light:

In addition, staging has become an important part of the process, she explains. “The way you stage a home is much different than decorating a home to live in. You want to have neutral, modern-day colors, no wallpaper, bright light in all rooms (using non-LED light bulbs), and no photos. You want the house to feel young. “Some owners might like a Southwest theme in their home, from wall color to decor. This is too personalized, and it will be hard for the buyer to see beyond this and imagine what their style would be like in the property. It’s best to keep the house neutral and simply done.” Staging Certificate A lso, she adds, “Real estate agents like myself can have their staging certificate: Accredited Staging Professional (ASP). If an agent of the seller’s choice doesn’t have this, it may cost the homeowner out of pocket expense to hire an interior designer.” In addition to helping clients sell and buy homes, Murray also handles rental properties. “With the interest rate currently low,” she points out, “people will live in rentals, and save up for a down payment on a home.” In her 24 years in the real estate business, Murray has seen many changes, especially the increasing importance of the internet. “The ability of sellers to show their property globally is the biggest change. Now, buyers have the ability to shop for homes from the comfort of their living room.” Her skill as a real estate agent has brought her many

Overcoming Windy Conditions, Tough Monmouth Team, PU Football Rallies for 31-28 Victory, Improving to 4-0

he Princeton University football team’s hopes for an undefeated 2021 season nearly blew away last Saturday in the gusts swirling around Monmouth’s Kessler Stadium. Bringing a 3-0 record into the clash with 25th-ranked Hawks, the No. 24 Tigers found themselves trailing Monmouth 14-6 at halftime on a day which saw 20 mph winds blowing across the field all game long. “You obviously want to get off to a better start and you want to do better,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “You believe in your guys, you just keep playing. You make some adjustments and hope you can get back in it. We had a really good end of the half drive to cut it 146, it made it a one score game.” Monmouth kept playing well in the third quarter, starting the half with a 16play, 66-yard scoring march that culminated with a oneyard touchdown run by Juwon Farri as the Hawks increased their lead to 21-6. “They had a great start to the second half, they converted a bunch of third downs,” said Surace. “We were struggling to get off the field. Their quarterback [Tony Muskett] was doing a great job. They were running the ball, not for big yards but for two or three and then converting third and fours.” With the wind at its back in the third quarter, Princeton responded by knotting the game at 21-21 as Tiger senior running back Collin Eaddy scored on a pair of one-yard TD plunges, one coming late in the third and the other with 11:55 left in the fourth. “The bigger concern was that the wind was a big factor for both teams,” said Surace. “We had the wind in that third quarter and they start off with an eight -minute drive basically and now there is only seven minutes left with the wind. Offensively we made some adjustments. We got a couple of scores in the last seven minutes when we got wind.” Midway through the fourth quarter, Eaddy put the Tigers ahead 28-21 as he scored his third touchdown of the day on a four-yard run. Monmouth, though, wasn’t finished as Anthony Budd picked off a Cole Smith pass and returned it 16 yards for a TD to make it a 28-28 game. Princeton showed its resilience, going on a 13play, 57-yard march and winning the game 31-28 on a 36-yard field goal by Jeffrey Sexton with 10 seconds left in regulation into a 20mph headwind “There are going to be a lot of gray hairs,” said Surace, reflecting on the comeback which marked Princeton’s biggest rally since overcoming a 34-10 fourth quarter deficit against Harvard in 2012 and pulling out a 3934 win. “We have just got to keep

fighting, staying together and competing. You do that each week, you put yourself in position.” Senior QB Smith showed his fighting spirit, bouncing back from the interception to engineer the gamewinning drive as he ended the day hitting on 27 of 41 passes for 282 yards. “I switched the play during the time-out to a play action; in a vacuum it is a great call there is a guy wide open,” said Surace, recalling what led up to the Monmouth pick-six. “But I have Cole rolling to his left against a 30 mph wind. I went over to apologize to him and say let’s keep going, that is my fault and he has got the whole offense over there, fired up about going in for the next series. It is a really good sign of maturity and leadership.” That series showed the team’s collective maturity. “We ended up going down the field and we made the field goal but you had to get a lot of yards,” said Surace. “Sexton hit a 46-yard field goal with the wind at the end of the second quarter, it would been good from 60. Against the wind, a 40-yarder was going to be tough so you had to get the ball somewhere around the 20-yard line.” Freshman kicker Sexton, who also hit a 21-yard field goal in the first quarter, stepped up in the win. “It was not the easiest game, his field goals are huge with the timing of them and everything else,” said Surace. “The other part, kicking off into that wind was a bear. He did an amazing job. We ended up forcing a fumble on one kickoff.” Princeton got an amazing all-around game from senior receiver Dylan Classi, who made five catches for 64 yards, catching a two-point conversion that made it 2114 and completed a 17yard pass to Jacob Birmelin on Princeton’s next scoring march. “Classi made a couple of those diving catches, you are going against a really good team, you are not going to be open by three or four yards,” said Surace. “Those are contested catches where it is a perfect throw, perfect catch. He is just a football player. You ask him to block, you ask

him to be a decoy, you put him in a tight spot in a key moment and you just count on him for everything.” Princeton’s two other standout receivers, junior Andrei Iosivas and senior Birmelin, also delivered some key plays. Iosivas had four receptions for 76 yards, including a 30-yard catch and a 38-yard grab that helped set up two TDs while Birmelin made nine catches for 109 yards. “On one of them, he got great separation; it was a nice ball, we had the wind and he got down to the half yard line,” said Surace, referring to the heroics of Iosivas. “Then the other one came in a key moment with a guy draped all over him. It was just a very athletic play, Birmelin was just so active, I thought it was the best he has done route-running. He has always been a good route runner and he was really challenged by a good defender. He really created separation.” Dealing with the challenge posed by Monmouth should steel Princeton for its Ivy League stretch drive. “It is something we talked about the first day of camp with so many veteran teams and so many older, experienced players, these games are going to come down to details, they are going to come down to the small things,” said Surace. “In this case, there two teams with tremendous personnel and we have to make one more play than them. Standing there on the sideline and watching some outstanding quarterback play, great catches, hard runs, some brilliant defensive plays, we are not separated by a lot talent-wise. We had to make one more play than them. I think that is how most of the season is probably going to go.” The Tigers, who are 1-0 in Ivy action, will have to make a lot of plays this Saturday when they play at Brown (1-3 overall, 0-1 Ivy), which is coached by former Tiger offensive coordinator James Perry and features high-powered quarterback E.J. Perry. “I think the world of James as a football coach, he is as good as anybody, and I coached in the NFL, I have ever been around,” said Surace, who was an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Bengals for nine years

ROARING BACK: Princeton University football player Jacob Birmelin dives into the end zone in recent action. Last Saturday at Monmouth, senior star receiver Birmelin made nine catches for 109 yards to help Princeton rally from a 21-6 third quarter deficit to pull out a 31-28 victory over the Hawks. The Tigers, now 4-0, play at Brown (1-3) on October 16. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) before taking the helm of Princeton for the 2010 season. “He is really upped the talent level. His nephew, E.J., I thought was the best player in the conference offensively two years ago. This is the thing, having coached with James, every day you are around him, you get better. His team is going to get better. They had a nice win Saturday [31-10 over Colgate].” Even though Princeton had

a very nice win on Saturday, there is plenty of room for improvement. “There are things we have to work on; we have to start better and I have to put them in better positions,” said Surace, whose team is up to No. 20 in the AFCA Coaches’, No. 23 in the Athlon Sports FCS and No. 25 in the Stats Perform FCS polls. “I am kicking myself, there are some things we could have done better. I thought

coach [Kevin] Callahan did a great job in how they managed the elements. He did better than I did. You learn, you grow, you kick yourself. It was going to come down to a close game anyway. We both had our good and our bad. We are not NFL players, we are not at that level, but every NFL game just about comes down to a few plays. I feel like I am back in the NFL where every game is going to come down to little things.” —Bill Alden

The announcement comes during a season that has seen Princeton post a 9-2-1 record through its first 12 games, receive recognition in the United Soccer Coaches top-25 poll, and start 2-1 in the Ivy League. Poller, who has extensive coaching experience at the club, high school and collegiate levels, joined the Princeton women’s soccer program in August 2014. After one season as a volunteer assistant coach under previous head coach Julie Shackford, Poller joined the staff of new head coach Sean Driscoll, and prior to the 2016 season, Poller was designated the program’s recruiting coordinator. Poller has a U.S. Soccer Federation “A” coaching license. Before Princeton, he served as the volunteer assistant coach for the Seton Hall University women’s soccer program beginning January 2014. Prior to that, Poller was at Summit High School in northern New Jersey, where he was the program’s head coach from 201113, and at Match Fit Chelsea FC Academy, where he has coached since 2009.

Last Saturday, freshman standout Yeager tallied four goals to help No. 18 Princeton defeat Dartmouth 6-0. It was Princeton’s first four-goal game since Kat Sharkey ’13 did so three times in the program’s 2012 NCAA championship campaign. Yeager, who now has 14 goals in 11 games, was later named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Poller’s first collegiate soccer coaching experience came at Arcadia University outside Philadelphia, where he was an assistant coach for two seasons from 2009-11. Before that, he served as the executive director of the Princeton Soccer Association and held coaching positions at the Hun School in Princeton, McCorristin High School in Hamilton, and Spotswood High School in Spotswood. Poller also has coaching experience in the New Jersey Olympic Development Program and with the South Jersey Soccer League Select team. Poller played two seasons at Central Connecticut State and two seasons at The College of New Jersey, where he helped the Lions to a runner-up finish in the NCAA Division III tournament. “I feel humbled, honored, and extraordinarily blessed to be a part of such an amazing university and soccer program,” said Poller, reflecting on his promotion. “When I started here in 2014 as a volunteer assistant, I wasn’t sure where this path would lead. I was even less

sure when, one day into my first preseason, then-coach Julie Shackford announced her retirement. When I heard that Sean had gotten the job, I was thrilled that one of his first phone calls was to talk with me about staying on with the program. Since that day, I don’t think a day has gone by where Sean and I haven’t touched base about something.” Driscoll, for his part, was thrilled to elevate Poller to his new role. “I am honored to promote Mike to the position of associate head coach,” said Driscoll. “In addition to being a fantastic coach, possessing a

great eye for talent and having a passion for Princeton, he was a pivotal figure in my relocation to New Jersey. In 2015, I left my home state of Connecticut for what would become a life-changing experience in New Jersey. Mike’s mutual love of soccer and working with college-age athletes along with his friendship made a world of difference in Princeton becoming my new home. Over the past six-and-a-half years, we have spent countless hours on the phone, in the office and on the road doing everything we can to identify future Tigers and, at the same time, provide the best experience possible for those already in our program.”

In 2020, the Princeton High f ield hockey team brought an undefeated record into its clash with Lawrence High and came away with a stinging 7-1 defeat. Last Friday in the rematch of powerhouses, PHS found itself in a similar position, coming into the matchup at 10-0 and having not allowed a goal all fall as it girded for the showdown with 11-1 Lawrence. This time, though, PHS was determined to produce a different result. “ We were com ing out very hungry from last year; we just wanted redemption, we talked about last year’s game all of the time,” said PHS star senior defender and co-captain Grace Rebak. “We were just ready for this, we were ready for the competition in defense. I wanted to feel the pressure, I wanted to go up against a really good offense so I was super excited going into it. I think our entire squad was really excited going into it.” In competing with Lawrence, Rebak knew that PHS had to contain Cardinal superstar and Princeton University-bound Talia Schenck, who came into the game with 72 goals on the season. “I play club with her at P r i nce ton F ield Ho ckey Club, I have been playing there a very long time and four years of high school,” said Rebak, who is headed to Williams College where she plans to play both field hockey and lacrosse. “She has amazing stick skills. I really respect her. She is an insane player and she is very quick with her

stick. We always wanted to have at least one person always stay on her and stay marked on her in the midfield to slow her down. I would step up and pressure her out. I obviously knew that she was going to get a few shots off.” After holding Lawrence scoreless for three periods and building a 3-0 lead on a goal by Olivia Weir and two tallies by Erin Kiesewetter, things got dicey for PHS. Schenck tallied two goals in the fourth but the Tigers tightened up on defense, holding off the Cardinals to prevail 3-2. “We had a lot of momentum but once they scored, then they scored the other one,” said Rebak. “I think we were ready to shut them down. We were just so motivated in the beginning, getting the first goal. We wanted to win and we knew we were going to win.” With PHS starting play in the Mercer County Tournament this week where it is seeded second in the MCT and is hosting No. 15 Hamilton West in an opening round contest on October 13, passing the test against Lawrence is a huge boost. “We are going into the tournament 11-0 so that is a very good feeling,” said Rebak, who raced to hug goalie Frankie deFaria after the final horn. “A lthough we are now scored upon, I feel good about it. I feel a little bit relieved now that the pressure is off.” Rebak feels ver y good about the way the Tiger defensive unit has come together this fall.

“We are really strong this year because we are all seniors, we have a senior goalie and three senior backs,” said Rebak who is joined on the back line by classmates Aleena Inayat and Stella Matsukawa. “Our ability to play with each other is just fantastic this year. We really have a connection and we are able to work with each other. We know where each other are on the field.” Being in the middle of the action along the back line is a fantastic feeling for Rebak. “I am center back so I see the entire field and along with Frankie who sees the entire field from the goal,” said Rebak. “We communicate a lot w it h each ot her, telling people where to go, telling people who to mark and just telling people where to be on the field. I love being the last person back because I like to feel that pressure.” Over the years, Rebak has developed a deep connection with goalie DeFaria, who made nine saves in the win over Lawrence. “I trust her so much; I have been playing with her for two years now so I really trust her to have my back,” said Rebak. “We haven’t seen much action on defense, especially her … she loved the action today. Before every defensive corner, it was let’s go, we have got to get this one out. We just pump each other up to get the clear out. We did a great job. We got the win and we were so excited.” PHS head coach Heather Serverson was excited to

see her squad overcome Lawrence. “I think that was the first time we have seen a full team defense, every single player was down there,” said Serverson. “They were determined to win this game. It is the one thing they wanted all season long. I am so happy for them that they did it.” Serverson was very happy about the effort she got from Rebak against the Cardinals. “Grace really stepped up, she had a fantastic game,” said Serverson. “She had so many excellent tackles on Talia. She did so well, she has never done that well. She was spot on the whole time. She is always cool, calm and collected.” Goalie deFaria was cool under fire against highpowered Lawrence. “She passed the AP field hockey test on this field, it was phenomenal.” said Serverson. “She had a great game even though two goals went in, that is how amazing she was. She was so happy, she was crying out of joy at the end of it. She did an amazing job, the whole defense did an amazing job. They slipped two in because they were great shots. You can’t take that away from Talia, she is a wonderful player. I told the team she is going to score at least one goal against us today but just make sure that we score more.” Seeing Kiesewetter get two goals was a big plus. “Erin has been doing a great job for us at forward,” said Serverson.

“She knows right where to be and how to find the back of the net for us. She has been spot on.” Serverson believes that PHS can build on the win over Lawrence heading into postseason as it heads into the MCT. “I think we knew we could do it all season long; it was all of that anticipation building up to it, it was kind of nerve-wracking,” said Serverson. “Once they got out there and started doing their thing, everyone was fine. We just need to keep on the path that we are on, focusing in practice and making sure we fix the little things. Lawrence pointed out a few issues that we have to work on. That is the kind of test that we needed before the tournament.”

Rebak, for her part, is confident that PHS has what it takes to pass the postseason tests ahead with flying colors. “We have players all over the field who are very experienced,” said Rebak. “We always have Olivia on the offense and we have a great defense and then in the midfield we have a tight group. We have been making the most out of it, some of us have been playing with each other for four years. We practiced during the offseason. We just knew that we were going to come out with a strong season with this squad. We are very excited.” —Bill Alden

Senior Star Lependorf Gets Redemption at 2nd Singles As PHS Girls’ Tennis Tops Hightstown in Sectional Semis Bella Lependorf was primed to make the difference as the Princeton High girls’ tennis team faced Hightstown in the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional semifinals last Thursday. Senior star Lependorf opened the season by losing a three-setter at second singles to Diana Kalajdzic against the Rams as PHS dropped a 3-2 nail-biter to Hightstown on September 8. As Lependorf hit the court, she was looking for redemption from the opening day loss. “I think last time I kind of let my emotions get the best of me,” said Lependorf. “I was a little nervous because it was our first match. This time I tried to stay calm because I know that kind of ruined it for me last time.” Lependorf succeeded in turning the tables, posting a 6-0, 6-0 win over Kalajdzic as thirdseeded PHS prevailed 3-2 over the second-seeded Rams and improved to 7-1, advancing to play at top-seeded WW/P-North in the sectional final on October 12. The victor of that match will play in the state Group 3 semis on October 14 at Mercer County Park. “I tried to get my first serve percentage higher,” said Lependorf. “I was making a lot of serve errors last time so I wanted to make sure that I fix that this time. It definitely made the difference.” For Lependorf, making the difference as PHS reached the sectional final in her senior campaign was extra special. “I was really hoping that this would happen in my senior year because I have been working so hard the last three years. and we always make it to the semis,” said Lependorf. “I am super proud of the whole team and I am super proud and happy that I get to do this my last year.” In working on her game, Lependorf has focused on both her mental game and her strokes. “Definitely my confidence, that is a really big part of my game,” said Lependorf. “I have also been working a lot on my serve and a lot on my ground stroke consistency. I used to be a little less consistent. I feel like each year I have improved on that a bit more.” Over the years, Lependorf has also developed as a leader. “It feels great to be a captain and a senior,” said Lependorf. “I feel like my team really looks up to me. I feel like I am setting a great example every time I go out on the court.” Being on the court with her younger sister, sophomore Eva, who plays first singles for PHS, has been a great experience for Lependorf. “At first it was a little weird but it is really nice having her next me now that we have settled in,” said Lependorf. “We both give each other advice, we are always cheering each other on since we are right next to each other.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert was confident that her players would give it their all in the rematch with Hightstown. “We definitely wanted to come out a little better this time,” said Hibbert. “Last time, it was our first match and there were some nerves all around. We fought hard; we went to four threeset matches last time. It didn’t bounce our way at the end. I knew we definitely had a good shot at it. We just really had to

come out on top of our game, we couldn’t take anything for granted.” Hibbert knew that senior star Lependorf could tip the balance in favor of the Tigers in the rematch. “I am so proud of the way Bella came out today, I talked to her yesterday and she said to me ‘I have to win tomorrow, don’t I?’” recalled Hibbert. “I said to her, ‘it would certainly help for the team but you know what, do this for you. You are a senior, you have been on varsity for four years, you have worked really hard to do this. You know you didn’t fully play your best in the first match.’ She had rolled her ankle partly through and that was in her head a little bit as well and she got a little over emotional, it wasn’t the best tennis she is capable of playing.” Lependorf has played some of her best tennis in the state tournament, having rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Albasofia Wagar of Colts Neck in the sectional quarters as PHS prevailed 4-1. “On Tuesday against Colts Neck, she came out on fire, ready to go and I told to carry that momentum over to Thursday’s match,” said Hibbert. “It is a new match, a new day, a new you. You are a senior, you have worked so hard for this. Do it for yourself, and show what you can do. I couldn’t ask for more than an 0 and 0. She came out so confident and ready to play.” Seniors Sophia Kim and Lucia Marckioni rose to the occasion at first doubles, cruising to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Siya Buddhadev and Laora Normand. “Even last time, they went three sets, they dropped their second set,” said Hibbert. “They played well today. They knew that had another

gear they could go to after they were into the season. Sometimes they get off to a slightly rocky start in September. They cruised through counties, they have been a rock for us. They are our steady position.” Eva Lependorf clinched the match at first singles, topping Lara Koppel 7-5, 6-1 in the last match action on the court. “She fought so hard in that first set; her game was not where she wanted it to be but she didn’t give up,” said Hibbert. “She fought off at least two set points. I told her you did the same thing with Colts Neck, you had a really tight first set and then you were able to cruise in the second set, believe that same thing can happen here. Lara played really well this time. She was much more aggressive and consistent than the last match. Eva was really able to fight through that and play her best tennis in the second set when it really counted and close it out for us.” Having topped WW/P-North 3-2 on September 14 in a regular season matchup, Hibbert is hoping for an encore performance in the sectional final. “It is special to get back, we did have a result against North,” said Hibbert. “However there was a result between us and Hightstown as well and we were able to reverse that so we hope that we are able to hold on. I hope we can just really come out and put our best foot forward and play our best tennis in the final.” In Lependorf’s view, PHS will be ready to play its best in the rematch with the Northern Knights. “They are a super solid team too, it is going to be tough,” said Lependorf. “We are going to have to work hard but we beat them once so I think we can beat them again.” —Bill Alden

SECOND CHANCE: Princeton High girls’ tennis player Bella Lependorf hits a backhand last Thursday against Hightstown in the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional semifinals. Senior Lependorf posted a 6-0, 6-0 win over Diana Kalajdzic to help the third-seeded Tigers edge the second-seeded Rams 3-2. Lependorf had opened the season by losing a three-setter against the Rams as PHS dropped a 3-2 nail-biter to Hightstown. The Tigers, who improved to 7-1 with the victory, were slated to play at top-seeded WW/P-North in the sectional final on October 12 with the victor advancing to the state Group 3 semis on October 14 at Mercer County Park.

Petrone Gives His All on Both Sides of the Ball As PHS Football Loses 30-7 to Robbinsville Jaxon Petrone is ready to do whatever he can to help the Princeton High football team. After PHS hosted Robbinsville last Saturday, Petrone kept contributing, picking up pylons in the end zone to clean up the field. Earlier in the day, senior quarterback/safety Petrone was busy on the field, hitting on 15-of 25 passes for 172 yards and making several crunching tackles in the secondary. Petrone’s efforts, though, weren’t enough as the Tigers fell 30-7 to Robbinsville and dropped to 1-5. In the early stages, PHS hung tough against the Ravens, battling back from a 10 - 0 deficit, going on a 7-play, 65-yard scoring march late in the second quarter. A 42-yard pass from Petrone to Jaiden Johnson got the Tigers to the Robbinsville six-yard line and then two plays later Jason Ling scored on a 3-yard TD run as PHS narrowed the gap to 10-7 at intermission. “The pass to Jaiden was great,” said Petrone. “We had a lot of momentum going in at halftime.” The Tigers couldn’t keep the momentum going in the second half as the Ravens felled off 20 unanswered points. “We just came out a little flat in the second half,” said Petrone. “Our offense wasn’t there today. On defense, we were hitting guys hard.” Petrone’s connection with Johnson was there all day for the Tigers as the senior receiver made 11 catches for 132 yards “I love it,” said Petrone, noting that the team’s other star senior receiver, Everaldo Servil, got sidelined by injury in the first half Saturday. “When I drop back, I am looking for Jaiden every single time, I know he is going to be open.” The PHS passing game has been opening up in recent weeks with Petrone having thrown for 779 yards in the last four games as he has gone over the 1,000yard mark for the season and Johnson averaging 100 yards receiving a game and 15 yards a catch. “Coach [Charlie] Gallagher switched up the offense a little bit, throwing it a little more than running,” said Petrone. “He is putting a lot of trust in me to throw the ball to the receivers in the flats and long. I throw it over the cornerback’s head once in a while and get it going.” While Petrone started the season playing just quarterback, he eventually volunteered to help out at defensive back. “That was week two or t hree, I star ted play ing

full-time,” said Petrone. “I always want to play. I just do the best I can, I don’t think about it too much.” PHS head coach Gallagher appreciates Petrone’s efforts on both sides of the ball. “He is just an all-around great athlete and he is a good football player,” said Gallagher. “When he is on the field good things can happen, whether it be offensively or defensively. It is let’s make sure he is on the field. He has a great nose for the ball.” PHS made good things h app e n on t h e s c or i n g march in the second quarter. “It was good, we moved the ball nicely,” said Gallagher. “I don’t know how many plays it was, it was like seven, eight plays. We pride ourselves on getting 10 play drives. We want 10play drives and we want to capitalize on those drives.” In the second half, the Tigers moved the ball but foaled to put together any long drives. “I don’t think we had a lot of 10-play drives in the second half,” said Gallagher. “We will work on that in practice this week. We have got to come up with something that is going to get us in the end zone.” Gallagher believes the team’s passing attack has the weapons to get in the end zone. “Jaiden always plays nicely, just like Jaxon; if he is doing well, Jaxon is doing well,” said Gallagher. “We were m issing Everaldo in the second half so Jaiden’s workload gets picked up a little. Risshabh Bhardwaj stepped in nicely and caught a couple of pass-

es. We had a new kid, Quinn Ramsay, who did a nice job, he caught two passes. We are trying to spread the ball around. We don’t want to totally focus on Jaiden or Everaldo but when those two guys are out there, there are a lot of good threats out there that can do damage to the other team and work into our favor.” While things didn’t go in the favor of PHS last Saturday, Gallagher is confident his team can bounce back from the loss. “I told the guys it is about refocusing ourselves,” said Gallagher. “It is about playing good football and not worrying about who we are playing next week or two weeks from now. We just need to be playing good, sound football.” With the Tigers hosting a 4-2 Camden Catholic squad on October 15 under the lights for Homecoming, they will need to play good football to be competitive. “We have a great opponent coming in this week for Homecoming and we are excited for it,” said Gallagher. “This week is really important. We have to get those guys up to task. We have got to coach them up the best we can and be ready for our Homecoming. We want to impress.” Petrone, for his part, believes PHS will be up to the task. “We have a huge game next week with Homecoming, we want to show out to play,” said Petrone. “There are going to be a lot of people here next Friday night so it is show up to play and work hard all week in practice. We are a good football team and we are getting better. There are just a couple more games left in my senior year so I am playing my fullest.” —Bill Alden

Grace Romano proved to be in the right place at the right time for the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team as it hosted the Pingry School last Wednesday. Less than 30 seconds into the contest, junior striker Romano converted a miscue by the Pingry goalie into a goal, swooping in on a bobble and slotting it into the back of the net. Then with PDS clinging to a 2-1 lead in the waning minutes of the second half, Romano raced into the box and volleyed a ball over the head of the keeper to seal the deal as the Panthers prevailed 3-1. “I think that really got our momentum started,” said Romano “I thought she had it and then I turn around and see it rolling and I was, I have got to get to that.” While the Panthers built a 2-0 lead at halftime as Abby Weed also found the back of the net, PDS wasn’t quite in synch. “I think halftime really brought us back together,” said Romano. “We were in the middle of transitioning into a new formation in the second half, a five wide. They were playing a formation we hadn’t seen before. Trying to get through the back line was a little difficult, especially for me. I liked it when I got moved out wide because I just got to use those straight runs.” Pingry scored 10 minutes into the second half to make it a 2-1 game, putting the Panthers on their heels. Making a run from the wide f ive for mat ion, Romano scored in the waning minutes of the game to seal the deal. “That was fun; I saw Adriana [Salzano] and I saw that opening and I just went,” said Romano. “I saw the goalie and I

thought this has to get over her. There was a girl behind me and this needs to get off now.” The Panthers have been having fun as they have adjusted to new head coach Chris Pettit. “Everyone came in with a good mindset,” said Romano. “I was a little worried at first, some people don’t respond well to a new coach but everyone was on the same page. For the Preps and MCTs, it is the same journey. It is a different style but we really like it. He plays to everyone’s strengths really well.” Having emerged as a key finisher for the Panthers in her junior campaign, Romano is looking to be a strong leader on the squad. “As an upperclassman, it is a different role,” said Romano, who tallied a goal to help the Panthers defeat Gill St. Bernard’s 3-1 in the opening round of the state Prep B tour nament last Thursday and improve to 7-2-2. “I feel I have more of a voice. It is just really fun to be in the position to see the underclassmen succeed, thinking like that used to be me.” In finding her voice, Romano has been influenced by her older sister, Jules ’21, a star midfielder for the Panthers “It was a little hard at first my freshman year,” said Romano. “I was just so nervous and she was, ‘Grace what are you doing’ and then we just started getting really close. We are best friends now and I felt like I was supported on the team.” PDS head coach Chris Pettit acknowledged that it was hard to break down the Pingry defense. “It was an interesting battle of formations, their formation was a not good one for ours,” said Pettit.

“It was going forward but causing us problems defensively. We spoke at halftime about trying to make the adjustment, getting our wide players to tuck in a little bit more so we can match up in the middle.” Pingry did cause problems for the Panthers in the second half when they cut the PDS lead to 2-1. “We talked at halftime about 2-nil being a dangerous lead,” said Pettit. “We were really panicking for 10 minutes after they scored. We were at sixes and sevens, we couldn’t really figure out where they were or anything like that.” Putting five players in the midfield, the Panthers figured things out down the stretch. “We changed formation midway through the second half, we actually went to five in the midfield to basically outnumber them in the midfield because I felt like we were a better possession team,” said Pettit. “If we put more people in the middle we could out possess them and then really hit them on the counter attack. I think the last 20 minutes that played out with three central midfielders and a wide right and a wide left and from there because they packed the center of the midfield. Grace and Abby [Weed], in particular, were having a field day.” Pettit liked Romano’s attacking move that led to the final goal of the contest. “What was most pleasing about Grace was we brought her out of the forward position and said this is what we need you to do in those wide areas because that is where they are leaving the space,” said Pettit. “Before that she didn’t look to do that, she was look ing to find Adr iana through the middle. On the next one, she made that adjustment, this is the moment we needed. The speed was frightening and then the finish was top drawer.” Having gone 5-0-1 since a 4-3 loss to Lawrenceville on September 22, PDS is rounding into top form. “I am very happy with the progress we are making,” said Pet tit, whose team plays at Newark Academy on October 16 and then hosts Hopewell Valley on October 18. “The big positive I take away from today, not even counting the result, is the fact that we could tactically change it on the fly to counter what other teams are doing. We are going to come into moments in games where we are going to need to do that. We can’t be a one-trick pony. For us to be able to do that, that was the overwhelming success from today.” Romano believes the Panthers are primed for success in postseason play. “We had a team meeting a few weeks ago and I think the chemistry is finally coming together pretty well,” said Romano. “The intensity level is coming up; people are starting to understand the reputation of the program. The love for wanting to continue that reputation is getting passed on because we have a lot of new players. It took a little bit for everybody to buy in.” —Bill Alden

Making Memorable Debut in Non-Public A Play, PDS Girls’ Tennis Advances to Sectional Final Making its debut in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association ( NJ S I A A ) Non - P ubl ic A sectional, the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team is leaving quite a first impression. Seeded fourth, PDS defe ate d f if t h - s ee de d Re d Bank Catholic 5-0 in the sectional quarters on October 5. Two days later, the Panthers upset top-seeded Donovan Catholic 4-1 in the semis. With PDS having joined the NJSIAA starting with the 2021-22 school year, the squad was fired up to test itself in the sectional. “It is a first for us,” said Panther head coach Michael Augsberger, whose team is slated to play at secondseeded Trinity Hall on October 12 in the sectional final with the victor advancing to state Group semis on October 14 at Mercer County Park. “We really were excited for it.” Augsberger was excited by how his first singles player, j u n i or N e h a K h a n d k a r, battled in her 7-6, 7-6 win over Peiyi Liu of Red Bank Catholic. “The No. 1 match was the best tennis match I have ever seen ever coaching tennis in my career,” said Augsberger. “It was incredibly cerebral tennis. They were asking really deep questions of each other with a lot of short angles, a lot of smart shots and thinking. I loved it. I sat there with the other coach so I could get a better angle to watch behind the baseline with their team. It was just a joy.” The Panthers cruised in the other four flights as Kristina Wang at second singles, Amy Zhou at third singles, the first doubles team of Sophie Zhang and Josie Baranski, and the second doubles pair of Stella Ringblom and Eshaa Doshi all produced straight-set wins. “They all took care of business; you are challenged in every way no matter who you play and it is a different sort of pressure to deal with when you are favored,” said Augsberger. “When you have to bring

offensive tennis to the other player, you don’t want to wait around for them to make mistakes when you are expected to take the initiative so they handled that pressure well.” In order to better handle the pressure of the state tour nament, Augsberger shuffled his doubles lineup to pair more experienced payers with each other as Zhang is a senior and Baranski is a junior while Ringblom and Doshi are both seniors. “It is about chemistr y and experience; it is about volleying and angles,” said Augsberger. “Josie and S ophie re ally have a great chemistry, they love playing together. They have a bit more experience. They go well together. Josie’s hands are very strong. Eshaa is a senior and she played USTA tournaments. She and Stella know each other really well but is also about not feeling the pressure that younger players might feel the first time at the Preps and the first time at states. That comes from how the girls feel about each other and the chemistry that is involved in that and the experience level. They are used to being in these spots.” In the semifinal matchup, the Panthers were unfazed by facing top-seeded and once-beaten Donovan Catholic. “One of the strong aspects of the team is that they do a good job of not paying attention so much to the seeds and the narrative that can go along with it,” said Augsberger. “Part of that comes from experience where you have played in other tournaments and you know what goes into these seeding decisions and they are not always the most well-informed. There is not always a lot of data to go on. It is not being afraid.” Once again, K handkar showed no fear at first singles, topping Emma Conroy 6-1, 6-3, while the first doubles pair of Zhang and Baranski had to battle hard in topping Isabella Ayres and Gianna Rao 6-3, 7-5.

“Neha and our first doubles were the ones who were tested the most,” said Augsberger. “Neha did a good job, she was feeling a bit of a blister injury on her foot. She fought well through that. She was limping towards the end of the match. She is the most mentally strong player I have ever seen. Donovan’s girls are athletes, they play other sports. Their coach [Tom Connerton] has taught them tennis over the past year and a half. They know the strategy and our girls have struggled when teams back off and aren’t playing as aggressively. So they had to fight through that and they eventually came up with the answer.” For Augsberger, seeing his squad fight its way to the sectional final was special. “The goal is to go all the way,” asserted Augsberger, whose team has a 5-4 record in dual match play this fall. “This is another step along the way and we are excited.” The matchup against Trinity Hall figures to be exciting. “From what I hear, they have what it takes to win it and we have to respect that,” said Augsberger. “Their No. 2, I hear, is very strong particularly and that means across the board, they are going to be strong. They were always one of the favorites along with us so we knew going in that they were going to be strong.” In Augsberger’s view, the depth of the Panthers could make the difference as they look to make it to Mercer County Park on Thursday. “I think doubles is going to be a major factor and that comes down to the preparation that our assistants brought to them,” said Augsberger “JB [Jon Brown] has got them playing more angles and tr ying to widen the court. That is going to be huge for us because we have a deep team, we know that. If we can make our depth speak volumes that is going to carry us a long way.” —Bill Alden

With QB Lainez Progressing as a Passer, Leader, Hun Football Produces Impressive 4-0 Start Marco Lainez III was focused on being a better decision maker and taking better care of the football for the Hun School team. The junior quarterback has been better at both in his second season with the R aiders. L as t S at urday, Lainez completed 11 of 13 passes for 175 yards and one touchdown in a 21-7 win at Suffield Academy (Conn.). While Lainez was pleased with his performance, he was more excited that Hun improved to 4-0. “It’s awesome,” said Lainez. “I think it’s a real testament to how hard we worked in the offseason and how much our guys have put in. We’ve really gelled together as a team. The linemen are our key to our success. Those guys up front, they’re sacrificing their bodies every game and they’re the reason we’re winning right now.” Lainez posted a gaudy 150.3 quarterback rating against Suffield, spreading the ball to six different receivers. “I definitely didn’t value the football as much as I would have liked to last year,” said Lainez, who lives in nearby Skillman. “One thing I learned is the more we hang onto the football, the more we have the ball, the more we have the opportunity to give it to our playmakers.” Ben Romano had four catches for 67 yards and a touchdown while Dante

Barone had three catches for 23 yards. Logan Howland had a 46-yard reception and Francesco Barone had one catch for 24 yards. “I feel like my decisionmaking has really taken a big leap,” said Lainez. “ T h at’s b e c a u s e of m y coaches and players around me. They make plays for me. That’s a good thing.” Hun again gave him plenty of help with its run game, something he’s also been a big part of all year. Kamar Archie ran nine times for 86 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Don Deluzio had 10 carries for 56 yards. J.T. Goodman picked up 53 yards on eight carries and Lainez had 42 yards on four rushes. “It obviously gives us a lot of flexibility,” said Hun coach Todd Smith. “We’re able to rest some kids and make sure they’re fresh. Dom Deluzio didn’t touch the ball until the second half, and he’s a very physical kid. For us, that’s an exciting thing where we can put a physical kid like that in the third and fourth quarter just to punish defenses that are already worn down. It gives us a little bit of a luxury that way. It also gives the kids some realization that Coach Smith is giving me the ball so I’m going to do the most I can with it. You see the kids giving their best effort every play.” Hun amassed 277 yards on the ground, using six ball carriers in the process as it wore down the hosts.

“No matter who touche s t h e b a l l t h i s y e a r, w e ’r e a v e r a g i n g 8 . 8 yards a clip,” said Smith. “That’s great for us to be able to run the ball and control the clock and really control the flow of the game. It puts other teams in a bind and forces them to get out of their rhythm and do things they’re not comfortable doing.” Hun jumped on the board first with a two-yard run for Archie in the first quarter followed by Will McManus’s first of three points after touchdown kicks. Suffield evened the game in the second quarter, 7-7, but Hun’s defense allowed nothing the rest of the way. “Our defense has been playing exceptionally,” said Smith. “There was a broken play and we let a guy get behind us. They scored a touchdown off that. It was 7-7. That long play was 80 of their 120 yards on the day. The defense played very dominant. The offense played dominant as well. We won the time of possession battle, we just stubbed our toe a few places.” The Raiders fumbled inside the Suffield 5 -yard line, missed a pair of field goals and was stopped on a fourth-and-3 drive in the red zone or they may have scored more. But the Hun got scores when it needed them most, and the defense again gave Hun’s offense plenty of opportunities, led by Owen Wafle, Dante Barone, Michael Gavin, Brian

MAKING PROGRESS: Hun School quarterback Marco Lainez III rolls out in a game earlier this season. Last Saturday, junior star Lainez completed 11-of-13 passes for 175 yards and one touchdown in a 21-7 win at Suffield Academy (Conn.). Hun, now 4-0, plays at the Hill School (Pa.) on October 16. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) Ingram, and Logan Howland. Howland finished with one sack Saturday. “We have a rotation of five guys for the front four spots that are the most dominant guys we might have had here in some time,” said Smith. “We rotate the five for the four spots. They’re controlling the line and when you’re able to put pressure on the quarterback with just four, that’s pretty good stuff.” Af ter Suffield tied the game, Hun bounced right back with a long drive to take the lead for good on Lainez’s touchdown pass to Romano. Archie added an insurance 22-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. “The one thing we have to know about football is it’s not going to be a blowout every single time,” said Lainez. “The beauty of the game is responding and how you respond. That’s one thing we’ve tried to take into account is how is our ability to respond. We’re not always going to be on top or on bottom.” Hun has been up most of this year. The Raiders are unbeaten heading into a Mid-Atlantic Prep League game at the Hill School (Pa.) on October 16. “We definitely have a lot more team camaraderie,” said Lainez. “We have a lot more chemistry with each other. Last year, given the circumstances, it was hard to develop chemistry with each other, get to know each other and personally bond. Now we have personal connections with each other and I think that’s a real reason for our success, because we love each other now as brothers.” The closeness developed over last year and through the offseason has helped Lainez become a more effective leader. He is more comfortable with the other players in his second year at Hun. “It’s hard for anyone who comes in and has to get in someone’s face to demand leadership and you don’t even know the person,” said Lainez.

“We’ve built trust over t ime bet ween t he g uys. They can finally look at me as a leader. When we get in a huddle, they have to believe.” This fall, Lainez has given them plenty of reason to believe, having progressed in every way as a quarterback. “He’s definitely taken total charge of the huddle,” said Smith. “He’s ver y comfor table with the offense. He really studies film and we meet every night after practice and we’re just watching film and taking notes and talking ball and you can see it start to translate out on the field. The best thing about Marco is he knows when he does something wrong. The bad thing is he’s his toughest critic. He just has to think, ‘Next play, great play.’ He’s been doing a great job of that. If he throws an incompletion, which there haven’t been that many of this year, he comes right back and throws a great ball the next play.” For the season, Lainez has completed 45 of 58 passes for 788 yards and seven touchdowns and has not thrown an interception. He has shown an ability to hit the open receiver or to get away and pick up yards with his feet if no one is open. It’s led to a perfect overall passer rating. “We do have a great run game,” said Smith. “And this year, Marco is not going to force the ball if something’s not there. Marco is our

leading rusher on the team and it’s not designed runs. It’s rolling out on a sprint out or waggle and if it’s not there, he puts his foot in the ground and goes and gets yards. That’s going to increase anybody’s efficiency if you’re not throwing those low percentage balls and you’re still getting first downs.” Lainez has been preparing more diligently this year. He has been picking the brains of Smith and assistant coach Anthony Racioppi. As a result, Lainez feels better prepared to read defenses before the snap and understand what he’s looking for each play. It’s helped to elevate his stock as a high college level quarterback. “I definitely would focus on that towards the end of the season or after the season,” said Lainez. “Right now I’m focused on my junior season being the best I can be as a player. The recruiting has been great. Everybody I’ve been in contact with have been really good guys, all of them.” Lainez and Hun have started well, but it’s only halfway through the season. They are motivated to continue their success as they start the second half of their year. “I see a lot of focus,” said Lainez. “Everybody is eager, focused and intensely driven. We all want to win for each other.” —Justin Feil

When Evan Moorhead got his first job at the Community Park tennis courts working for the Princeton Recreation Department in 1990, he never envisioned that he would someday be running the department. Over the years, Moorhead has worn many hats for the Rec Department, including managing the CP Pool, running the Summer Men’s Hoops League and the Dillon Hoops league, and coaching in the boys’ hoops league while working full-time at Bloomberg and then running Dillon Gym. Moorhead, a former Princeton High boys’ hoops player, started working full-time for the Rec Department as an assistant director in 2011 when his close friend and former PHS teammate Ben Stentz became the executive director. Earlier this year when Stentz announced he was stepping down to pursue other opportunities, Moorhead put his hat in the ring to succeed his friend and was chosen by the Recreation Commission as the new executive director, taking the helm in July. “It was bittersweet for me, I was completely excited and thrilled to be given the opportunity,” said the easy-going, affable Moorhead, 47, who lives in town with his wife, Dana Hughes Moorhead, a third-generation Princetonian, and their daughter, Eme Moorhead, age 9. “But at the same time it meant I would no longer be working day to day with a colleague I really respected and a friend who I have known since I was 10 years old. I felt ready but there is a little bit of nerves. It is a big job. Ben left very big shoes to fill here at PRD, as did Don Barr and Jack Roberts prior to that. I’m following in the footsteps of three New Jersey Parks and Recreation legends.” Having moved to Princeton from Raleigh, N.C., when he was 10, Moorhead’s first contract with the Rec Department came when he started playing in the Dillon Hoops League. Six years later, he started working for the department at the CP tennis complex. “My first paid job was the CP tennis courts, checking IDs,” said Moorhead, sitting in his corner office in the Rec Department with a view of CP Pool and a framed quote “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up” from the late basketball coach Jim Valvano. “My mom said you need to get a job this summer and why don’t you check out the Recreation Dept. I came down here and filled out an application and ended up getting hired over there … that summer.” During his college years at Rutgers, Moorhead remained involved with the department through hoops. “Coming back here in the summer time, I was very focused on trying to win a championship in the men’s league from the time I got midway through my Rutgers years into my early adulthood,” said Moorhead, who has gone on to serve as the summer league commissioner for many years. “That was the Tiger’s Tale

era, they were dominant. After a few years I put my own team together, my goal was to beat Tiger’s Tale and win that title. The 1997 Cafe Piazza team won it all, we beat Tiger’s Tale. I had five former D-1 players on that team, that is what it took to unseat them. That is a picture of that team on my wall.” After graduating from Rutgers, Moorhead went to work for Bloomberg LP in Skillman as a data analyst. “It was a good place to work, it is a big company,” said Moorhead, who continued to be involved with the Rec Department coaching and playing hoops in the summer. “It really introduced me to the financial world and finical markets. I knew early on it wasn’t what I wanted to do with my career but it exposed me to that world, investing and learning about the financial markets. It stuck with me, it is an important life skill.” While working at Bloomberg, Moorhead realized he wanted to be involved in athletics in some capacity and he started a master’s program at Temple University in sport and recreation administration. In addition, Moorhead became involved with Princeton University athletics. “I had also started working part time at the university at athletic events,” said Moorhead. “I was doing the score table for soccer, helping for football, and basketball. I actually started the scorekeeping first for women’s basketball in 97-98.” Upon graduating from the Temple program in 2003, Moorhead turned an internship with Princeton into a job, becoming the assistant director of campus recreation facilities and running Dillon Gym. “I was looking for a fulltime job and it just so happened that the guy who was that manager of Dillon Gym and basically running the recreation facility there left,” said Moorhead. “In October 2003, I started full time at the University, I had a full-time job in athletics and recreation.” Eight years later, when Stentz was named the Rec Department executive director, Moorhead came across town to join his team, eventually becoming the assistant recreation director. “One of the selling points has really been the community; it is the community I grew up in and had been involved with most of my adult life if not all of my adult life,” said Moorhead, reflecting on the move. “This was always a bigger draw for me. There are some people who look and say why would you leave a fantastic athletic department at the University, which it is, and come back and work for the municipal government. For me, I never looked at it that way. It was always the draw of the community and that for me was the highlight, what I really enjoyed and meant the most to me.” Over the last 10 years, Moorhead grew professionally in number of ways as he dealt with the Princeton community.

“I knew coming in that this was going to give me the opportunity to do a lot of different things in terms of more administrative stuff,” said Moorhead. “I already had some facility experience there so I was able to translate that to working on a lot of capital projects and parks. We oversee all of the parks. I came in right at the beginning of the pool renovation. There was the opportunity to work with a wider base of people and develop the skills that you need to interact with a more diverse community. The opportunity to have some engagement with youth was great. The municipal government world is a different world than working for a private university. It took some time to acclimate to that in a full time position just in terms of things like the budgetary constraints which is a big one here.” Dealing with COVID-19 last year was a key learning experience for Moorhead as well. “It turned our world upside down last March, April; we weren’t sure what, if anything, we could offer to the community or who might show up,” said Moorhead. “We were still waiting for guidance from the state Department of Health. We were really proud to offer those programs last year and get the pool open when we did and provide that opportunity. We got a lot of tremendous feedback.” When Moorhead learned that Stentz was leaving his post, he jumped at the chance to succeed his friend. “I never had any expectation that I would ever have the opportunity to be the executive director because of the fact that Ben and I are the same age,” said Moorhead. “He did a fantastic job and he could have stayed here for as long as he wanted. So when I realized that the opportunity was coming, I was excited. There was no question that I was going to apply for it.” There was no questions that Moorhead was ready to take the helm, having been tutored by Stentz. “Ben had always tried to include me in a lot of things that another director might not have,” said Moorhead. “That was always how he operated because you never know when someone might not be there for whatever reason … I felt like I was well prepared for it. Being able to work with him and watch him and learn from him and see how he functioned in that role was a great learning experience for me.” Stentz, for his part, is thrilled to be passing the baton to Moorhead. “Evan is the right guy, he has been so loyal,” said Stentz. “He has taken on anything that I have handed him and done it well. He has got a much better calm demeanor than I do.” Three months into his new role, it has been so far, so good. “We enjoy working with each other, we have a great team and that is part of what we have built here,” said Moorhead.

“All the way up and down the line is a fantastic team. We enjoy coming to work each day, having fun, and joking around. We work hard, we get the work done.” Keep that team running smoothly was at the top of Moorhead’s to-do list when he took the helm. “In the short term, our biggest challenge is the transition,” said Moorhead. “It happened in our busiest season, the summertime. So we were navigating this summer when we are still in a COVID environment and everything that went along with that at a time when we are also now down a position and shorthanded.” Looking down the road, finding more places to play is an ongoing issue for the Rec Department. “The demand for facilities and athletic fields is not going away,” said Moorhead, noting that the department is looking to add adaptive programs, arts and crafts, and social activities to its standard offering of athletic activities. “The good part about that is there is a lot of youth in this town who are active. They are involved in sports, which is what we want to see. The part where it impacts the recreation department directly is our fields, the ones that those clubs and organizations use. We don’t have an indoor facility of our own, so that is always something that has been a challenge for us, especially in the wintertime with some of our traditional basketball programming where we have to rely in the schools and the University.” As Moorhead settles into his new role, he knows to expect the unexpected. “I have heard for years people say that in a job like this you have to be prepared for anything,” said Moorhead. “You never know what you are going to deal with on any given day. There is no department in this town that has more touch points with 100,000-plus visitors at the pool, all the hundreds and thousands of people that come through our parks plus all of our youth and adult programs. Each one of those touch points, we want them to have a great experience. It is also the potential for a learning experience when something unexpected happens. You just never know on any given day where it is going to lead you and what you might end up doing.” Moorhead is dedicated to making sure people keep having great experiences when they come in touch with the department. “It is the Rec Department way to do whatever it takes to get the job done, even if you have to come in the office in a pandemic, at nights or on the weekend,” said Moorhead. “That is what we signed up for, we don’t mind that. We are people persons, that is why we got involved working with the public. We like seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces when they pass the swim test for the first time at CP Pool, when they score their first bucket in a basketball game or when they pick up a new skill in one of our programs.” With the steady Moorhead at the helm, there should be plenty of smiles around the Rec Department and its programs for years to come. —Bill Alden

Dolores Milan Breithaupt Dolores (Dee) Milan Breithaupt passed away on September 24, 2021. Born Dolores Phoebe Milan on December 5, 1928 in Middlesex, NJ, Dee was the fourth of five children born to Anne Taylor Milan and Louis Milan. As a child, Dee lived with her family in both Plainfield and Whitehouse, NJ, and Princess Anne, MD. From an early age, Dee’s life was filled with music, dancing, and singing. She mastered the castanets, having been taught by Paco Cancino ( Rita Hay wor th’s uncle ). Dee’s close childhood neighbor, the now renowned jazz pianist Bill Evans, taught her how to play the piano. Dee excelled in tap dancing and ballet, ultimately taking these talents to Broadway as a young teenager, telling a small fib about her age in order to get an audition. She performed in the Broadway shows Count Me In, Dream with Music, and Early to Bed. While working on Broadway, she attended the Professional Children’s School in New York. In a newspaper ar ticle published when Dee was 17, she was quoted as saying her father did not like

the idea of her being in show business. After several years of performing on Broadway, the family moved far from the big city to a farm on the Chesapeake in Princess Anne, MD. Dee graduated from the Mary A. Burnham School in Nor thampton, MA, and from Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio — majoring in English. She later set up a dance school in Williamsport, PA. D ee worke d for many years for American Express, first traveling the world and leading tours as a travel agent and later as Regional Director of Corporate Sales. Through her travels, she met and later married the love of her life, Wendell Breithaupt. Dee retired from American Express in 1991. Dee and Wendell shared a love for the game of golf. They traveled extensively and played golf at many famous courses. They retired to their home in Carmel Valley where they spent many happy years golfing, dancing, singing, and just enjoying each other’s company. As a team, they won several couples golf tournaments.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Suzanne (Throckmorton) Hewitt, along with his son William (Catherine) and daughter Heather (Vincent),

and three grandchildren: Will, Jack, and Elizabeth. Requiem Under the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will.

COMFORTING SHADES OF NATURE

with Beatrice AREBloom THE LATEST COLOR TRENDS

The new color trend predictions for 2022 reflect the themes of comfort and renewal as our homes remain a warm retreat. Major paint brands say that homeowners are looking for colors found in nature to give their rooms a tranquil look. Soothing greens: Sherwin-Williams has selected Evergreen Fog as their 2022 color of the year. This subdued green can work as a wall color in any room. Glidden has chosen Guacamole, a slightly brighter green that is especially suited for kitchens and bathrooms. Tranquil blues: Trending shades of blue range from dark cobalt to watery blue greens. Behr’s color palette for 2022 includes five different hues, including their color of the year, Breezeway. Pair a muted blue with a dark blue accent wall to change the look of your living or family room. Earthy browns: Creamy neutral browns and darker wood tones are on Valspar’s 2022 color palette, including peach and dark walnut. Darker neutrals pair well with light blues and greens, especially as an accent or in woodwork. Creamy beige walls can create a comforting bedroom or welcoming dining room.

TWO TREATS - NO TRICKS!

WOW! This ranch house is located right on Honey Lake in Elm Ridge Park. The main level has walls of glass overlooking incredible water views, and you can enjoy them from the lovely deck, which also overlooks the in-ground pool. Six acres of heaven, views of the lake, and plenty of space to spread out, equal a style of living much appreciated in today’s hectic world. Four bedrooms, open floor plan for the public spaces, and a lower level with a family room and three offices/studies/guest rooms — whatever your needs are, this house has it. Highly rated Hopewell public schools, with lake access, walking trails, Pennington market, and even a dog park make this an incredible offering. Super opportunity to create the house of your dreams. $695,000

LUCKY YOU! This four-bedroom Princeton colonial is waiting for you! From the moment you see the living room, with its stunning gas fireplace and custom tile surround, you will picture yourself enjoying a quiet moment, chatting with friends or reading a book. Take advantage of the open concept to create a dining area cleverly located between the kitchen and living room. The kitchen is the pièce de résistance, with every inch masterfully redone. Granite counters (with nary a seam to be seen) curve around three sides. A unique farm-type sink looks out over the beautiful back gardens, and architectonic pendant lights illuminate this area. White tile accentuates the walls and adds to the professional look of the kitchen as a whole. Clever cabinetry conceals tons of space for dishes and pots, and there is even an “appliance shelf” hidden behind sophisticated gray doors. Six burner stainless stove, wood floor, and a cool clock make this one of the most exciting kitchens we have seen. An additional room can be used as an office or family room. Remodeled bathrooms, finished basement, and attached two-car garage. $950,000

“It all comes down to a Buyer, a Seller, and ROXANNE GENNARI” — NY Times “Roxanne listed and found a buyer very soon after and we got our asking price. Who could ask for more? She also found us a new home and we are forever grateful. Choosing her was the best decision we made. Thank you, Roxanne.” — Bob & Mary G “Roxanne is extremely knowledgeable about the market here in Mercer County, and has actually sold several houses in my neighborhood. She gave us invaluable advice in terms of correctly pricing our house, and she and her colleagues made the listing and house showing process incredibly manageable.” — Nishant M “I have been buying and selling real estate for a few years now, and Roxanne’s performance, communication, attention to detail and all-around customer service made it one of the smoothest sale transactions I have ever experienced. Her integrity and professionalism is impeccable. I don’t think there is a better agent in the industry.” — Sandeep P “Roxanne was a great help in finding a property within my budget and guiding me through the closing. She provided great references for attorneys, property inspection and remediation services and it was readily apparent that she worked with them often and was well regarded by them. We met some resistance from the seller and their agent(S), but Roxanne was a persistent advocate and helped me power through to the end. I will absolutely engage Roxanne again when it comes time for my next real estate transaction.” — Lisa S
