With the FDA approving the Pfizer vaccine for ages 5-11 last Friday and both CDC and New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) approval expected this week, the Princeton Health Department is preparing to offer vaccinations to Princeton’s pediatric population. Princeton Health Officer Jeffrey Grosser noted that more locations would be offering vaccinations to 5- to 11-year-olds than was originally anticipated. The NJDOH has held several clinic logistic meetings locally during the past few weeks to ensure that that the sites are ready to go as soon as approvals are granted. “The majority of nearby pediatric offices and local pharmacies will be offering the COVID-19 vaccine for this age group once it is approved by the state,” said Grosser. “The Princeton Health Department will also expand their clinics and begin to administer the vaccine for this group.” Grosser added that after the pediatric vaccine is approved the health department will be updating vaccination flyers to announce upcoming local clinics open for ages 5-11. He recommended the state scheduling system at covidvaccine.nj.gov to find and schedule an appointment after CDC and NJDOH approval. Grosser is hopeful that vaccination of the 5- to 11-year-old age range will result in significant reductions in new cases in this age group. “This of course assumes that the 5- to 11-year-old population vaccination rates will be as impressive as Princeton’s residents in the 12- to 17-year-old range [96 percent],” he said. “In other parts of the country with lower vaccination rates, it’s likely that COVID

Irish Reunification Question To Be Explored at Lecture

“Prospects & Feasible Models,” a lecture by Brendan O’Leary, Lauder Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, will be presented Friday, November 5, at 4:30 p.m. via Zoom Webinar. Princeton’s Visiting Leonard L. Milberg ’53 Professor in Irish Letters, Fintan O’Toole, will provide a welcome and introduction. The event is part of the 2021-2022 lecture series, which is virtual for the fall. The lecture is free and open to the public. O’Leary will discuss the questions and issues surrounding possible Irish reunification, where Northern Ireland, currently part of the United Kingdom, and the Republic of Ireland become one sovereign state. This is the topic of O’Leary’s upcoming book and was the focus of a working group study of which O’Leary was a member. The study was conducted at the Constitution Unit at University College London and was funded by the British Academy.

The study’s culminating report presented two models for possible Irish reunification: in the first “integrated model,” the country of Northern Ireland would be dissolved and merged entirely with the Republic of Ireland’s government; and in the second, Northern Ireland would be a parliamentary entity within the Republic of Ireland’s government, much as it is within the United Kingdom currently. Though a new referendum for Irish reunification has yet to be presented to the Irish people, both models require plans for merging the two countries’ social services, s u ch as e d u c at ion a n d health services; transferring financial assets from the United Kingdom to the new Republic of Ireland; and defining territorial expanses, such as coastal waters and fishing zones. O’Leary is recognized as one of the foremost scholars of political science on the island of Ireland. His threevolume magnum opus, A Treatise on Northern Ireland, published by the Oxford University Press in 2019, won

the 2020 James S. Donnelly Sr. Prize of the American Conference of Irish Studies for the best book in History and Social Science. O’Leary, a U.S., Irish and European Union citizen who grew up in Nigeria, Sudan, and Northern Ireland, has been a member on the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations and an Honorary Member of the Royal Irish Academy. He is a founding member of ARINS (Analyzing and Researching Ireland, North and South), a project sponsored by the Royal Irish Academy and the University of Notre Dame focusing on authoritative, independent and non-partisan analysis and research on constitutional, institutional and policy options for Ireland, north and south, in a post-Brexit context. In 2014, O’Leary was the inaugural winner of the Juan Linz Prize of the International Political Science Association for the study of multinational societies, federalism, and democratization.

MORE SPACE FOR LIFELONG LEARNING: The Princeton Senior Resource Center’s new facility on Poor Farm Road, the Nancy S. Klath Center for Lifelong Learning, will be unveiled to the public at several community open houses this month, following the grand opening on November 4.

New Classrooms, Wooded Setting For Senior Center’s New Building

Anyone who has attended a class, lecture, or event at t he Pr inceton S enior Resource Center’s (PSRC) Suzanne Patterson building knows that the site is short on space and parking. The grand opening on Thursday of PSRC’s new location on Poor Farm Road, which

will supplement the original building, brings the senior center into a new era of light, space, and plenty of parking. “We often say we are a senior center unlike any other,” said Drew Dyson, PSRC’s chief executive officer, during a tour of the new building this week. “We wanted this to be a place people are drawn to. We were very intentional about making it a destination.”

We didn’t want people to feel confined. So all of these ideas were percolating and coming together.” Learning from the pandemic, PSRC has invested heavily in technology to provide continued hybrid learning. “Many people love the virtual opportunities and Kirk D.

So do PSRC’s offices, which have been moved from the Patterson Center, where art studios will take their place. Architects Juliet Richardson and Terry Smith of the Princeton firm Richardson Smith Architects looked to the surrounding trees when turning what was previously two stories of office space into something that reflect ed PSRC’s purpose and cre ative ideals. “One of the things we no ticed right away was how there was this incredibly strict, boxy building sitting on a lovely landscape,” said Richardson. “We thought, ‘ how c a n we t ra nsfor m this? ’ We considered it to be a meeting place. We didn’t want it to be institu tional.

And the new tech lab is three-and-a-half times bigger than the old one.” The total capital campaign for the 12,000-square-foot building is $5.3 million, 80 percent of which has been raised. “We’re about to move into the public phase of the campaig n,” said D yson, who credits the architects and Bancroft Construction Company for getting the job done quickly. “To do this total remodeling under a year is phenomenal,” he said. Smith considered Dyson to be “a great client,” he said. “As we came up with him, he was very interested and open, and really embraced a whole lot of strategies and metaphors. You need your client to be on board and have a little bit of faith. So that was really rewarding and gratifying.” The Suzanne Patterson location will continue to be used for exercise classes, art classes, flu shot clinics, and the like. Driving between the two locations takes less than 10 minutes, and both are on New Jersey Transit and the municipality’s free bus routes.

transmission will continue to impact those with little or no immune protection.” For parents who might be hesitant about getting their children vaccinated, Grosser suggested speaking with a pediatrician, “always a parent’s best choice to discuss vaccinations for their children.” He added, “Protecting all age groups is an important step in decreasing the timeline of the pandemic.” T h e P r i n ce ton H e a lt h Department on Monday reported just eight new COVID-19 cases in Princeton in the previous seven days, 17 cases in the previous 14 days. About 81 percent of Princeton residents ages 12 and above have been fully vaccinated. “Princeton’s COV ID -19 transmission continues to trend downwards,” Grosser said. “Our weekly and biweekly moving averages are close to where we saw things in late spring 2021. The decreasing cases have allowed schools to continue in person with fewer disruptions, along with freeing up time for public health officials to plan vaccination clinics for

the expansion of boosters, along with vaccines for the 5- to 11-year-old population.” Boosters have been approved six months after the second dose for those who have had Pfizer or Moderna vaccines and two months after the initial Johnson & Johnson vaccination. Those eligible for the booster may choose any of the three vaccinations for their booster. Those who are age 65 or older or have underlying medical conditions or are at increased risk of COVID exposure because of their jobs or living conditions are now eligible for booster shots. Princeton University is hosting vaccination clinics at Jadwin Gym for members of the public as well as the University community. Pfizer clinics will continue on Wednesdays from 12 to 3 p.m. on November 3, 10, and 17, and December 1, 8, and 15. Moderna clinics will be held on Thursdays from 12 to 3 p.m. on November 4, 11, and 18, and December 2, 9, and 16. Princeton University continues to maintain its low risk status, with 99 percent of undergraduate students, 98 percent of graduate students, and 96 percent of

faculty and staff fully vaccinated. Mercer County COVID-19 walk-in vaccination clinics in partnership with Capital Health and Penn Medicine Princeton Health will take place on Thursday, November 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the CURE Insurance Arena (Gate A), 81 Hamilton Avenue, Trenton; on Friday, November 5, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Trenton Farmers Market, 960 Spruce Street, Lawrence; and on Monday, November 8, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Millyard Park, 635 South Clinton Avenue (next to Roebling Market), Trenton. Looking to the future, Grosser emphasized the value of the vaccine, but noted that global efforts would have the most important impact on the overall state of the pandemic. “If we continue to do our part here in town, of course it will help our own community transmission,” he said. “But the timing of the pandemic and where things will stand in six to eight months will undoubtedly be tied to areas around the world that need help in vaccination supply and distribution efforts.” —Donald Gilpin

HiTOPS Half Marathon Welcomes Runners Back

The HiTOPS Princeton Half Marathon returns in person on November 14 following a year of virtual races. The race, which is sold out, is being held with a COVID Safety Plan in place, including limiting large gatherings of spectators and encouraging distancing and masking. In keeping with the race tradition of celebrating all things Princeton, this year HiTOPS is honoring the 2021 Princeton Brood X Cicada invasion. “This creature boldly makes its way to the surface from beneath the ground of Princeton to climb the tallest trees and lay the eggs that become the next generation — truly going the distance for its youth,” reads a press release about the race. “Their emergence after being safely underground for 17 years in the same year as we emerge

from our homes to run 13.1 miles feels auspicious. We are excited to welcome that same buzz and energy to our race.” HiTOPS invites everyone who lives along the race route to cheer on the runners. HiTOPS welcome signs of support and celebratory cheering (think cowbells) from 7-10 a.m. The course begins and ends in the heart of historic Princeton with landmarks that include the Princeton Battlefield, Institute for Advanced Study, the home of Einstein, Princeton University, the Princeton Boathouse on Lake Carnegie, Westminster Choir College, Mount Lucas, and Herrontown Woods. New this year, Victory Village will be at the Princeton Family YMCA lawn. Visit HiTOPSPrincetonhalf.com for more information or to join the waitlist.

At a meeting of Princeton Council on October 25, Councilmembers voted on whether to adopt an ordinance requested by the Hun School that would have rezoned two lots from an R-2 (residential) district to an E-2 (educational) district. Three Councilmembers voted in favor of the request. One voted against it, and two abstained. That meant they couldn’t come to a final decision. Municipal Attorney Trishka Cecil asked for another day to research proper procedure in such a situation. She has since reached the conclusion that the ordinance was defeated, as she stated in a memo the day after the meeting. “The outcome of the vote at the time was unclear: had the motion passed, had the motion been defeated, or had the vote resulted in a tie, making the mayor eligible to vote?” she wrote. “I have since had an opportunity to review the case law and governing statutes, and it is my conclusion that the ordinance was defeated.” The proposed change had been reviewed and endorsed by the Planning Board. The rezoning would allow academic support uses of the Mason House, which was formerly the headmaster’s

home. The house had been recently used for academic support space to free up space for COVID-19 testing and an expanded infirmary during the pandemic. Hun plans to build a new visual arts center, which would include studios, classrooms, galleries, and meeting space, as well as a new home for the Office of Institutional Advancement. But several homeowners who live near the school spoke against the change, citing noise, traffic, and other issues. Charlotte Friedman of Russell Road said the school’s ultimate aim was to expand. “This is not a case of improving or upgrading facilities. This is about adding a new facility,” she said. Fellow Russell Road resident Arthur Eisenbach said his house is sandwiched bet ween Hun’s new and old headmaster residences. “We are already dealing with traffic-clogging streets, music blasting from outdoor speakers, games and parties, speeding cars, and new buildings,” he said. Neighbor Karen Prager s a id nois y cons t r u c t ion projects “ have already consumed four of the 11 years I’ve lived there. My worry is that expansion is becoming unbridled expansion.”

Others accused Hun of seeking spot zoning rather than rezoning. Attorney Richard Goldman, who represents the school, disagreed, and said the rezoning request was only for educational purposes. But he did not rule out future development on the campus. Councilmembers Dwaine Williamson, Eve Niedergang, and Michelle Pirone Lambros voted in favor of the ordinance, while David Cohen voted against it. Mia Sacks and Leticia Fraga abstained. Under the applicable case law, “the abstentions did not create a tie for the mayor to break,” wrote Cecil. “Abstentions are neither affirmative votes nor negative votes — they are not votes at all. Here then, the vote was 3 to 1 in favor of adoption — not a tie. “Accordingly, the roll call on the ordinance should be recorded as three votes in favor of the motion to adopt, one vote against the motion to adopt, two abstentions, and no vote cast by the mayor. The result is that that ordinance failed to pass because less than a majority of the Councilmembers present voted in favor of adoption.” — Anne Levin

These endeavors shared the goal of accelerating the diffusion of new methodologies across disciplinary boundaries and expanding possibilities for discovery.

It’s not just the kids.” With a new superintendent, new principals, and other new administrators in the district this year, Karas cited a particular emphasis on “how important school climate and culture is to the well-being of all of us, and this has been having a very positive impact on everyone.” Karas described starting a recent meeting of school counselors with three minute s of m indf u l me d ita tion. “We all needed three minutes to breathe,” she said. “It felt so good.

Mailbox Resident Notes Reasons Why Princeton Should Have a Dog Park

To the Editor: For 20-some years, Princeton dog owners — literally thousands of us — have been asking for a dog park. Why not? Will a dog park be noisy? No, you’d be surprised to see how peacefully a dog will play once allowed to “talk” to its neighbors and meet up with friends. Unsanitary? Not an issue. A dog park has doggie bags. You’ll be impressed with how nicely we keep it. And if an occasional owner doesn’t think to scoop up, another will — a dog park is a community thing. Unsafe? A dog park encourages safety. It’s organized to help with behavior training and communication among owners. The result is better neighbors for all. Fact: There may be more Princeton dogs than Princeton schoolchildren. The 2020 Census counted 5,641 Princeton children under 18. Before COVID-19, 3,500 dog-owning households were registered. Adding the unregistered, and families with two pups or more, Princeton’s canine population may be 7,000. Now pet adoptions are up for people left alone because their children, COVID cautious, can’t visit. More folks are walking a canine companion, getting out for exercise — surely healthier and less lonely than staying shut in. And a dog park encourages people to license their dogs — for rabies shots, spay/neuter services, and more. Rocky Hill, Pennington, West Windsor, Bucks County — all offer a dog park for their families. Only Princeton doesn’t. If our parks are meant for all residents, there are an awful lot of families being ignored. MARY CLURMAN Harris Road

PCRD Shares News Regarding Redevelopment of Tennent-Roberts-Whiteley Campus on Stockton

To the Editor: The Princeton Coalition for Responsible Development (PCRD) would like to share the good news we received from the municipality of Princeton regarding the redevelopment of the Tennent-Roberts-Whiteley campus on Stockton Street (Route 206) and related properties currently owned by the Princeton Theological Seminary (PTS), all of which have been designated by our town Council as an Area in Need of Redevelopment under New Jersey law.

From the beginning, PCRD has advocated for an open, transparent and inclusive process regarding the redevelopment of these important and historic properties, a process that incorporates meaningful input from all significant stakeholders. The municipality recently sent a letter to PCRD indicating its support for this approach, writing that, “any redevelopment of the [PTS property] must be the result of a collaborative effort between the Contract Purchaser, [PCRD], the neighborhood, and [PTS] as appropriate.” The letter goes on to state that “those with immediate and direct interest in the redevelopment of the [PTS Property], including the Contract Purchaser, [PCRD], and other impacted neighbors, should work together to achieve a mutually acceptable plan.” We are encouraged by this wise and inclusive determination by the municipality. We staunchly believe that, only when key stakeholders have a meaningful seat at the table, can we expect smart and responsible redevelopment that serves the interests of the town as a whole. The letter from the municipality is an important step in that direction and we look forward to actively participating in the discussions anticipated by the town’s communication.

Books Labyrinth Hybrid Event Features Chris Hedges

Chris Hedges will be talking about his book Our Class: Trauma and Transformation in an American Prison on Wednesday, November 3 at 6 p.m. with Boris Franklin and Russ Owen, two of his former students in the college degree program offered by Rutgers University at East Jersey State Prison. This event will be held in person with a livestreaming option. Proof of vaccination and masks will be required, and seats will be well-spaced. To register for the livestream, visit labyrinthbooks.com. P u lit zer P r i ze - w i n n i ng journalist Hedges has taught courses in drama, literature, philosophy, and history since 2013 in the college degree program offered by Rutgers University at East Jersey State Prison and other New Jersey prisons. In his first class at this prison, where students read and discussed plays by Amiri Baraka and August Wilson among others, the students set out to write a play of their own. In writing the play, Caged, which would run for a month in 2018 to sold-out audiences at The Passage Theatre in Trenton, and later be published, students gave words to the grief and suffering they and their families have endured, as well as to their hopes and dreams. Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, says of Our Class: “This book could change everything. It could change our minds. It could buttress our hearts. It could make graspable why today’s prisons are contemporary slave plantations. I couldn’t put it down and I tried.” Hedges was a foreign correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East and the Balkans for 15 years for The New York Times. He is host of the Emmy Award -nom inated RT A mer ica show On Contact. Hedges is the author of many influential books and was a National Book Critics Circle finalist for War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning. Franklin was incarcerated for 11 years; Owen for 32. They both graduated from Rutgers and are working now as community organizers for the Industrial Areas Foundation.

“Death of a Traveller” Subject of Nov. 9 Event

Didier Fassin and João Biehl will be discussing Fassin’s Death of a Traveller: A Counter Investigation on November 9 at 6 p.m. This event will be held in person with a livestreaming option. Proof of vaccination and masks will be required, and seats will be well-spaced. To register for the livestream, visit labyrinthbooks.com. This event is cosponsored by the Institute for Advanced Study. It is a simple stor y. A 37-year-old man belonging to the Traveller community is shot dead by a special unit of the French police on the family farm where he was hiding since he failed to return to prison after temporary release. The officers claim self-defense. The relatives, present at the scene, contest that claim. A case is opened, and it concludes with a dismissal that is upheld on appeal. Dismayed by these decisions, the family continues the struggle for truth and justice. According to The New Yorker, “Fassin, a sociologist and anthropologist, aims to supplement the approaches of activists and of the justice system in confronting police violence, and scrutinizes the evidence with an emphasis on its socioeconomic context. To do otherwise, he argues, impedes both truth and human dignity.” Cur rently professor of social science at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Fassin began his career as a physician in the field of infectious diseases and public health. He then moved into medical anthropology, and later developed a critical anthropology of morals. His books include Enforcing Order: An Ethnography of Urban Policing ; Prison Worlds : An Ethnography of the Carceral Condition; and Life: A Critical User’s Manual. Biehl is professor of anthropology at Princeton University, where he is also director of the Brazil Lab. His books include Vita: Life in a Zone of Social Abandonment; Will to Live: AIDS Therapies and the Politics of Survival; and the coauthored Unfinished: The Politics of Becoming.

Daniel Downs (Owner) Serving all of Mercer County Area

Born to Write — Stephen Crane at 150 I’m as much of a Jerseyman as you will find. —Stephen Crane (1871-1900) ere’s how Stephen Crane happens. One late October day in the 1980s you’re in the Quadrant, a secondhand bookstore in Easton, Pa. You take down a first edition of Wounds in the Rain: War Stories (Stokes 1900), said to be the last of Crane’s books published in his lifetime. Standing there, you glance at the first story, “The Price of the Harness.” On the second page, you find yourself drawn into a paragraph that begins “The day wore down to the Cuban dusk, in which the shadows are all grim and of ghostly shape,” and that ends “From somewhere in the world came a single rifle-shot.” You jump ahead a few pages to this sentence: “As the infantry moved along the road, some of the battery horses turned at the noise of the trampling feet and surveyed the men with eyes as deep as wells, serene, mournful, generous eyes, lit heart-breakingly with something that was akin to a philosophy, a religion of selfsacrifice — oh, gallant, gallant horses!” The book is $39, too high, but never mind, you’re committed, you have to have it, you’re in a state of happy confusion, and it’s not the gallant horses, it’s the way Crane’s excitement in the writing and your excitement in reading fused in that moment. Before you can say a word about the price, the owner lowers it to $20. Just like that. Like a single rifle-shot somewhere in the world. The owner tells you that Crane went to Lafayette College, right there in Easton. According to Paul Auster’s biography, Burning Boy: The Life and Work of Stephen Crane (Holt $35), Lafayette was “a madhouse of violent hazing rituals and masculine mayhem, with constant battles between the sophomore and freshman classes.” A classmate is quoted recalling how a bunch of raucous sophomore “gangsters” broke into Crane’s dorm room one night and were “persuaded to leave” only after he “pointed a loaded revolver at them.” The Red Universe Auster calls Crane “America’s answer to Keats and Shelley,” and “if he continues to live on as they do, it is because his work has never grown old.” And because, like Keats, he lives again in his correspondence. In a letter from 1895 in the R.W. Stallman/Lillian Gilkes edition of Stephen Crane: Letters (NYU Press 1960), he tells a friend that he “fell in love with the straight out-and-out, sometimes hideous, often-braggart westerners” because he “thought them to be the truer men .... They are serious, those fellows. When they are born they take one big gulp of wind and then they live.” Earlier the same year he begins a letter

to a 16-year-old (“Dear Deadeye Dick”) he found “sobbing and penniless” on the Alamo Plaza in San Antonio after running away from Chicago “to be a cowboy.” Crane took the kid to a restaurant, fed him, and paid his fare on a homebound train. “Now, old man,” he writes, “take some advice from a tough Jay from back East. You say your family is all right and nobody bothers you .... So better stay home and grow a mustache before you rush out into the red universe any more.” Making Old Things New Crane’s impact on Joseph Conrad is evident in a December 1897 letter also quoted by Auster: “Your temperament makes old things new and new things amazing.” After reading the story “A Man and S ome O t hers,” Conrad tells Crane, “You are an everlasting sur prise to me. You shock — and the next moment you give perfect artistic satisfaction. Your method is fascinating. You are a complete impressionist. The illusions of life come out of your hand without flaw.” “A Visceral Affinity” The award-winning author of The New York Trilogy and The Music of Chance, Paul Auster is “one of our preeminent novelists” according to Crane scholar Paul Sorrentino. Burning Boy arrives with advance praise from other writers, including Russell Banks (“the most profound homage of one writer to another that I’ve ever read”); Judith Thurman (“a rare literary match — a visceral affinity”); and Michael Wood (“It’s hard to imagine a more perfect team”). A quote at the top of the dust jacket, from Crane’s story “The Blue Hotel,” slyly hints at Auster’s concept of his task: “Every sin is the result of a collaboration.” At this writing, three-fourths of the way through a 750-page book, I know what the New York Times’ Charles McGrath is talking about when he says the biography is “seldom dull” and “often thrilling,” but “can be exhausting.” In his October 29 review, McGrath refers to Auster “unpacking Crane paragraph by paragraph, line by line,” in “lengthy passages of analysis that inevitably slow the book down and can make you forget that Crane’s was a life lived at a hectic, almost frantic pace.” It’s true, a shorter book might have had a better chance of alerting the “general

reader” to the work of a great American writer. And “analysis” isn’t a fair word for what Auster does at his best, particularly with his in-depth readings of Crane’s first novel Maggie and the stories inspired by his adventures in the West, Cuba, and Mexico. After guiding the reader through Maggie with a sensitivity to the language that at times does verge on the “sin” of collaboration, Auster refers to “prose that can be choppy and disjointed, an unpredictable style that stuns and stings rather than charms .... You cannot curl up on a sofa and settle into a book by Crane. You have to read him sitting bolt upright in your chair.” Even so, I can remember numerous times curled up on a sofa reading Crane while b ei ng char m e d a nd stung and moved, all at once, as I was that day at the bookshop in Easton reading about the Cuban dusk and the horses in Wounds in the Rain. Who Is This Guy? I have to admit havi n g m i xe d fe e l i n g s about the color-tinted photograph of Crane on the cover of Burning Boy, big as life, with holstered pistol in evidence, taken when he was a war correspondent in Greece. I hope enough readers responsive to the cover and the title (about which I also have mixed feelings) buy the book. My favorite photo of Crane can be found in Auster’s biography, although it’s much smaller than the version that caught my attention many years ago in a book of vintage New York City photographs. Who is this guy? I wondered, and what’s he doing lounging (maybe dozing) on a sofa in a friend’s studio in the old Art Students League building? He resembled a gunfighter cooling his heels between showdowns in an old western, with that mustache, laid back, but ready to hit the road out there somewhere in the red universe. When I showed the photo to my son, he said, “Looks beat, like a hippie, a rocker.” Yes, fast forward to the sixties and he’d be right at home in a picture of The Band. Auster actually seems to be headed in this direction when he drops a line in passing, cramming it into a parenthesis (“Crane, mad for music, played the guitar, the flute, the banjo, and the melodeon,” and “sang tenor”). Later in the book there’s a photo of Crane with a banjo in his lap during a Pendennis Club celebration of the first

appearance of Maggie, where the expression “outta sight” is repeated often enough that you begin to think Crane coined it. Crane and Springsteen Bruce Springsteen is not the only creative force to hail from the Jersey Shore. Born in Newark 150 years ago this Monday, Stephen Crane was in Asbury Park during the original glory days, another New Jersey native born to run (“I’m as much of a Jerseyman as you will find”). He lived and went to school in the resort town and got his start in journalism writing for the local paper. While it’s true that few if any show-stopping rock and rollers were around in 1893, Crane was the literary equivalent of one, a young visionary with a fierce lyric sense and a wholly unique style, his insights edged with irony, his imagery inimitable. There’s a definite connection between the Boss and the author of The Red Badge of Courage. Crane’s version of “Born to Run” is an Asbury Park story called “The Pace of Youth,” in which a boy who works on “Stimson’s Mammoth Merry-GoRound” conducts a silent romance with Stimson’s daughter, their love enhanced by the subtle signals and innuendo forced on them because they were so often under the father’s suspicious eye: “They were the victims of the dread angel of affectionate speculation that forces the brain endlessly on roads that lead nowhere.” In the end, however, the road leads to a rendezvous on the beach and then their escape, with the father in pursuit before surrendering to the pace of youth, “the power of their young blood, the power to fly strongly into the future and feel and hope again.” The Stephen Crane House Springsteen and Crane both figure in Asbury Park’s ongoing renaissance. The house at 508 Fourth Avenue that the Crane family moved into when Stephen was 11 is still there, with the entire first floor and four public rooms on the second floor serving as a museum dedicated to the author. According to the museum website, “the generous donation given by Mr. Bruce Springsteen and friends has been of enormous help in making it possible for recitals, lectures, and poetry readings to take place there.” n November 7 at 3:30 p.m., the Stephen Crane House will mark the author’s 150th birthday with the premiere of Cora & Stevie: Heaven and Hell, a new one-woman show written by and starring actor-playwright and longtime friend of the Crane House, Marjorie Conn. There will be one performance only. According to Paul Auster, Crane’s common law wife Cora was his “hidden strength, the steady, encouraging voice that kept his confidence up and helped him forge on with his work .... In her eyes, everything he wrote was a masterpiece.” —Stuart Mitchner

AMERICAN REPERTORY BALLET presents

Westminster Symphonic Choir Performs Live Concert at Trinity Cathedral

fter eighteen months, students at Westminster Choir College of Rider University were able to perform choral music live this past weekend. In a short but certainly welcome concert at Trinity Cathedral in Trenton on Saturday afternoon, the 75-voice Westminster Symphonic Choir performed a single work well representing the profoundness and solemnity of the past year and a half. Although usually directed by James Jordan, the Symphonic Choir concert his past weekend was led by guest conductor James Bagwell and accompanied by the Westminster Festival Chamber Orchestra. Composers have been creating works from the Mass for the Dead “Requiem” text for centuries. Settings by such composers as Verdi and Berlioz were full of apocalyptic terror, but the 1947 Requiem for chorus, soloist, orchestra and organ by French composer Maurice Duruflé has served as a musical standard for the opposite — full of forgiveness and comfort. Through this piece, conductor Bagwell led the chorus and chamber-sized orchestra to convey the devastation of this past year and offer peace and resolution for the coming season. Princeton, Duruflé and Trinity Cathedral have come together once before, when in 1972, Duruflé helped prepare the Princeton High School chorus for a performance of his Requiem at the Cathedral, with his wife, MarieMadeleine as organist. Conductor Bagwell began the ninemovement Requiem in a quick-moving temp o, w it h t he S y mphon ic Choir women singing ethereally as if angels were leading the dead on their journey. Bagwell maintained good control over the cadences, leading the ensemble to the high point of the movement on the text “et lux perpetua luceat eis.” This movement flowed effortlessly into a second movement showing a solid sound from the alto section leading the melodic material. Duruflé based much of the music in this work on Gregorian chant, and organist Clara Gerdes brought out well the chant lines through the registration combinations on Trinity’s four-manual organ. With the chor us singing from the Cathedral chancel, there were times when the diction was not well delineated in the

Rider

hall, but with the music of Duruflé, that is all right — the impressionistic choral palette was sufficient to carry the message. The men’s sections were well blended and well-tuned and were not overpowered by the significantly more women in the chorus. Bagwell chose to present a baritone solo in the third movement with the entire bass section, and a duet between sopranos and altos in the same movement showed well-tuned thirds. Duruflé’s work is an arc, with the fifth movement Pie Jesu as the central peak. The plaintive mezzo-soprano solo in this movement was sung Saturday by Morgen Zwicharowski, a music education major at the Choir College. Zwicharowski soared on the higher passages of the solo, showing a rich but sometimes harder to hear lower register. Throughout the movement, she was poignantly accompanied by solo cellist Glenn Fischbach and organist Gerdes. As a composer, Duruflé was particularly favorable to altos, giving the section extended passages on their own. The Symphonic Choir altos excelled at the free-flowing chant lines and added to the well-blended choral palette from the ensemble as a whole. Duruflé’s “apocalyptic” moment came in the eighth movement, in which conductor Bagwell constructed the tension well and a pair of trumpets added fire and brimstone. The Symphonic Choir closed the Duruflé piece serenely, effectively entreating the angels. ymphonic Choir director James Jordan took the podium for an encore with one of Duruflé’s rarely-heard motets. Dedicated to his wife, the Notre Père setting of the Lord’s Prayer was Duruflé’s last published composition. Jordan’s command over the chorus was immediate in this a cappella work, as chorus and conductor stood close together inside the chancel for a more intimate performance. Ser ving further notice that live choral performance is back, the Westminster Symphonic Choir ended the concert with the signature musical closing of many of the Westminster choirs, singing Peter Lutkin’s “The Lord Bless You and Keep You” as much for themselves as the audience. —Nancy Plum

Performing Arts

BACK AND IN PERSON: The Princeton Symphony Orchestra returns to Richardson Auditorium with an ambitious spring season of works by contemporary and classic composers. Among them are cellist Pablo Ferrández, familiar to PSO audiences for his recent performances with the orchestra.

A Spring Season at Richardson for PSO

The Princeton Symphony Orchestra (PSO) has announced its 2022 spring subscription series of live, inperson performances at the orchestra’s home venue of Richardson Auditorium on the campus of Princeton University. The season includes works by contemporary composers James Lee III and Gabriela Lena Frank, plus symphonic works by Dvorák, Stravinsky, Brahms, and Mendelssohn. Concertos by Jean Sibelius, Antonín Dvorák, Alexander Scriabin, and Erich Korngold, with guest soloists, are also planned. Guest artists Diana Adamyan, violin; Mackenzie Melemed, piano; and Stefan Jackiw, violin are appearing for the first time with the PSO, with Adamyan making her U.S. debut. Jackiw was originally scheduled to perform with the PSO in 2020, but the concert was canceled due to the pandemic. Cellist and fan favorite Pablo Ferrández returns to Princeton, having performed live with PSO in 2019 and

again on the orchestra’s digital series in 2020. Concerts take place on select Saturdays and Sundays, February through May. Edward T. Cone Music Director Rossen Milanov conducts all but one concert. “Richardson is a very special, intimate concert hall with beautiful architectural details and a sense of history,” he said of returning to Richardson Auditorium. “There is no denying that our musicians produce an exceptional sound in this hall. It’s really quite exciting to be going back ‘home.’” Kenneth Bean, recently appointed as the PSO’s new Georg and Joyce Albers-Schonberg Assistant Conductor, conducts the opening concert the weekend of February 5-6. The orchestra accompanies Armenian violinist Adamyan performing Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. Also on the program are Samuel ColeridgeTaylor’s Ballade, Op. 33 and Antonín Dvorák’s Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, From the New World. On March 5-6, the PSO welcomes Spanish cellist Ferrández back to Princeton for a

Diwali at the Chapel

performance of Antonín Dvorák’s Cello Concerto in B Minor. Rossen Milanov conducts the program which includes contemporary composer James Lee III’s Amer’ican, offering an alternative perspective on Dvorák’s New World symphony, and Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite (1919). The PSO gives Alexander Scriabin and Johannes Brahms double billing March 26-27. Pianist Melemed marks his PSO debut with a performance of Scriabin’s Piano Concerto, while the orchestra is showcased in Brahms’s pastoral Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 73. Rossen Milanov conducts. The season concludes May 7-8 with a concert conducted by Milanov and featuring violinist Jackiw as he performs Erich Korngold’s Violin Concerto. Completing the program are Gabriela Lena Frank’s Elegia Andina, a musical exploration of multiculturalism, and Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, Scottish. The PSO is closely monitoring and adhering to the

Council Competition Northeast Region in 2019, and most recently performed in the world premiere of Princess Maleine produced by the Dell’Arts Opera Ensemble. He will sing the role of the Duke of Mantua in Boheme Opera NJ’s spring 2022 production of Rigoletto. Sutin made his Metropolitan Opera debut in the 20012002 season as the journalist in Lulu. His European credits include performances in the opera houses of Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Zurich, and Basel.

Tickets are available at wesleystace.eventbrite.com. Guests who make a small further donation are invited to stay for the VIP after-party with Stace, where tea and scones with jam and cream will be served. All proceeds will go toward finding the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice a new home. The BRCSJ is a nonprofit educational bridge, community activist center, and safe-space for LGBTQIA kids, intersectional families, connecting disparate communities both locally and nationally. The Center lost its headquarters during the pandemic, and now looks forward to finding a new spot to gather together in community. “I am thrilled to crack open our Late Style show to help the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice in their search for a new home,” said Stace. “I am a great admirer of their mission, their way of effecting change, and we’re happy to help in any way we can. When we look back on all this, the Center will have been on the right side of history. If we, as people, are not moving forwards, progressing, then we’re becoming gradually more conservative.

Sound Journey

with Ruth Cunningham Live Music for Meditation and Introspection

Wednesday, Nov 3 at 5:30pm Princeton University Chapel

Ruth Cunningham is a founding member of the world renowned vocal ensemble Anonymous 4 and a sound healing practitioner. She specializes in early music and improvisational sacred music from varied spiritual traditions both in concert and liturgical settings. This monthly program continues Jan 5, Feb 2, Mar 9, Apr 6, May 4.

The Trenton Children’s Chorus performed together for the first time in 18 months on October 7, in a concert at Morven Museum & Garden. They were accompanied by the Princeton University Sinfonia. Tanice Fitzpatrick, TCC board member and longtime supporter, said, “I was impressed, enchanted, and inspired. A very impactful message for all of us right now. I still think about that night and how important it is to hold fast to your dreams.” The centerpiece of the evening was the TCC Opportunity Fund — a development of the Support a Chorister campaign that aims to open doors for every TCC chorister in their academic, social, and musical lives. The benefit brought in over $125,000 in revenue for the organization. “The Opportunity Fund envelopes all of the ways Trenton youth are given access through TCC’s program,” said Kate Mulligan, executive director. “Middle school, high school, and college tuition scholarships are available every year for our choristers. We even offer a matching program to fund music lessons beyond TCC, and we partner with Hopewell Valley Chor us each spring to raise funds for summer camp placements for singers.” T he Oppor tunit y Fund brings artists into TCC to work closely with children and young adults to unleash their creative spirits. Future plans include Tony-nominated actor Philip Boykin and opera singer Angel Blue. “L ast year, we hosted Damien L. Sneed as our composer-in-residence, said Mulligan. “The kids put together original poetry on the theme of ‘overcoming,’ and he set their words to music that’ll be premiered in February. This year, we are going to Carnegie Hall in May to sing under John Rutter’s legendary baton. The Opportunity Fund supports these kinds of programs that go beyond the rehearsal room.” Visit trentonchildrenschorus.org for more information.

The Migration Plays project. Late Bloomer by Jaime Lozano and Georgie Castilla is a musical that was commissioned by the Lewis Center. The plays will be performed November 5, 11, 12, and 13 at 8 p.m.; and November 6 at 3 and 8 p.m. at the Berlind Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center, 91 University Place. O n Nove mb e r 6 at 4 p.m., University President Christopher Eisgruber joins Khristina Gonzalez, associate dean of the University and director of programs for access and inclusion, in conversation about the two musicals, which amplif y Princeton’s goals for access and inclusion. Early Decision follows Owen, an Asian American high school senior, and his friends, who are caught up in the stress of college applications. When celebrating his acceptance into Princeton, what seems like a small mistake has huge impacts on his immigrant family. Late Bloomer follows two Latino sibling Princeton students. When their father’s health declines, Jav i and Pilar must navigate between their father’s expectations of success and their individual desires for their futures. Faculty member Elena Araoz directs the plays, which are performed by Princeton students. Tickets are $12 in advance, $17 the day of the performances, and $10 for students.

The Center for Contemporary Art (The Center) in Bedminster has announced five virtual studio visits with artists from The Center’s fall exhibition, “Chroma Ter ra,” on v iew through December 11. T h is ex h ibit ion br ings together the work of 10 contemporary ceramic artists from across the country: Chris Alveshere (Missoula, Mont.), Sloane Angell (Los Angeles, Calif.), Lauren Skelly Bailey (New York, N.Y.), Wes Brown (Bloomington, Ind.), Kyle Johns ( L i ncol n, Neb. ) , L au ren Mabry (Philadelphia, Pa.), John Oles (Jacksonville, Ala.), Peter Pincus (Rochester, N.Y.), Scott Ross (Union Lake, Mich.), and Rebecca Zweibel ( St. Petersburg. Fla.). The five vir tual studio visits will be on Friday afternoons and moderated by curator John Reinking. The schedule is as follows: John Oles – November 5 from 1-2 p.m. ; Chris Alveshere – November 12 from 1-2 p.m.; Lauren Skelly Bailey – November 19 from 2-3 p.m.; Kyle Johns – December 3 f r o m 1-2 p. m . ; a n d Wesley T. Brown – December 10 from 1-2 p.m. Virtual studio visits will take place on Zoom and are free for members of The Center and $10 for non-members. To register visit, The Center’s website at ccabedminster.org. In his curatorial statement Reinking said, “Color is an inherent part of any creative artistic process. It can affect spatial relationships, mood, form, social con s t r u c t s, p s ych olo g y, etc. Within the three-dimensional form, especially ceramics, both sculptural and f unctional, color is not discussed as much as form. The artists selected for this exhibition emulate the wide range of color of clay, from the intense to the sublime. ‘Chroma Terra’ is an explorat ion of color theor y and relationships within the ceramic form.”

Valley Community College and County College of Morris and teaching artist and ceramics program manager at The Center for Contemporary Art. As a ceramic artist, his work can be found in many private collections. He is represented by Peters Valley Craf t Center and Connexions Gallery in Easton, Pa., and he exhibits in national group shows regularly.

“Analog Surrealism” at JKC Gallery in Trenton

The James Kearny Campus Gallery at Mercer County Community College, 137 North Broad Street in Trenton, has announced a solo exhibition featuring work by New Jersey based digital contemporary artist Phillip McConnell. “Analog Surrealism,”

ber 8 through December 4. “Analog Surrealism” features 16 new works by McConnell. These works will be the exploration of not only a new body of work, but a new style for him. This body of work juxtaposes two different mediums (photography and digital art) against each other to create something vibrant and fresh. This is a new take on the aesthetic medium of glitch art that McConnell is used to working in. Glitch art is the aesthetic of digital errors, created by corrupting the data of pictures. To create the work, a picture file is converted into text files using a basic program called Notepad++. Using the text fi le within the program, the data of the picture is manually manipulated by adding or subtracting color codes and by taking pieces of other pictures and blending them with each other. Once the images are distorted enough, they are combined using the Notepad program and the text fi le is

exported as a JPG picture file. The pieces in the show vary in size as well as subject matter. McConnell’s work deals with the raw data of pictures, no different than a programmer writing lines of code to create a digital platform. He sees his work as alchemical in nature as he creates a new image by breaking down two different mediums to their base elements and merging them to create a single amalgamation of a picture. On your first viewing of the work, there is a lot of information to process, from the meaning to the different techniques that exist within the work. But as you examine the canvas you

notice small, subtle nuances within each piece that beg the question, “Did I see everything the piece had to offer on first glance?” By taking a storytelling approach in enlivening the portrait pieces with the glitch aesthetic and infusing stagnant situations with a new sense of purpose and life, this body of work evokes a sense of vulnerability as he sets out to communicate the importance of being a Black creative but as a young man. This body of work is, above all else, reflective. A n opening recept ion and artist talk, open to the

public, are scheduled for Monday, November 8 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. For more about the artist, visit phillipmcconnellart. com, For more about JKC Gallery, visit jkcgallery.online. Continued on Next Page

Cleaning Trash Cans and House Exteriors Is the Mission of Nice Cans New Jersey

att Nemes and Ron Stinson want to make your life easier by ensuring that your trash cans are clean, odor-free, and basically spic-and-span! They believe this is an idea whose time has come, and that their new company, Nice Cans New Jersey, offers people a unique system for cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing garbage cans, as well as sof t pressure washing services for house exteriors, patios, driveways, and sidewalks.

IT’S NEW To Us

“People are really interested,” report the owners. “Most of them had never known about this before, and we can take care of something they don’t really want to do, or hadn’t really thought about doing.” Residential and Commercial Opened in April and headquartered in Bordentown, the company services both residential and commercial properties. It is the only company in central New Jersey offering this cleaning system, points out Nemes.

“I had heard about it from my cousin, who has a similar business in California. There aren’t many like it in New Jersey. We thought it would be something people would be interested in.” They were right! They have already developed a strong customer base, including both residential and commercial clients. “We cover all of Mercer County and a large part of Burlington County, as well as Long Beach Island customers. Basically, we cover a 25-mile radius from Bordentown,” says Nemes. The Nice Cans system is unique, adds Stinson. “Our process removes debr is, grime, bacteria, and odors. Once we’ve finished, your trash cans will look as good as new. “We have a hydraulic arm on the back of our trailer that will lift the can, flip it upside down, and clean and sanitize the inside of the can with dual-headed power washer at approximately 200 degrees under extremely high pressure. The can is then returned to the ground, cleaned, and sanitized. Then it is sprayed with an ecofriendly citrus sanitizer that makes it smell fresh and clean.” Water is the only ingredi-

ent, no detergents or chemicals. “We are eco-friendly and the citrus sanitizer we use is safe for the environment,” Stinson explains. “We are very careful about safety. The wastewater is not just dumped, but is collected in our hopper, and properly disposed of at a water treatment facility in accordance with the laws of our state.” Multiple Cans As the business has grown, including repeat customers and those with a continuing maintenance plan, Nemes and Stinson have encountered a variety of situations. “Depending on the size of the house and number of inhabitants, there can be one can or multiple cans. We had one house with six cans and another with nine. Families with kids can have a lot of garbage, and it can be messy. When there are lots of kids, there is lots of garbage. Of course, apartment buildings, commercial buildings, and restaurants, etc. will also have more cans.” Messy, smelly garbage cans are certainly not nice. It doesn’t take long for trash cans to get gross, note Nemes and Stinson. “Not only is this unpleasant, but it can be dangerous. Your dirty trash may be harbor-

More than just cans - We also offer POWER WASHING SERVICES for houses, fences, walkways and driveways.

KEEP THEM CLEAN: “We clean, sanitize, and deodorize your trash cans. We use specially designed trucks and trailers to clean all types of trash cans and dumpsters for residential and commercial clients,” explain Matt Nemes and Ron Stinson, owners of Nice Cans New Jersey, based in Bordentown. “We also offer high quality soft pressure washing services for houses, patios, driveways, and sidewalks. We look forward to introducing you to our new company and our specialized services.” Shown is one of the machines used for trash can cleaning. ing bacteria or viruses that can cause illness.” Nemes and Stinson have been faced with cans filled with remnants of old pizza, fried chicken, melted chocolate, congealed gravy, and more. And not only that — there has been the occasional dead mouse or other small animal corpse. Who wouldn’t want someone else to take care of that? Hungry Creatures In addition, cans with existing garbage or lingering odors will often attract raccoons, even coyotes or other hungry creatures that you don’t necessarily want visiting your property. Ty p i c a l l y, c l e a n i n g i s scheduled the day af ter trash collection. Nice Cans offers a variety of plans for customers, including monthly maintenance, bi-monthly, quarterly, and bi-annually, and all with different price points. Single treatments are available for $35. In addition to trash can cleaning, the company provides special soft power washing for house siding, explains Nemes. “We use eco-friendly chemicals and heated water to clean all flat

surfaces, leaving your home or commercial building with a nicer looking exterior. “We will cover all electrical components to protect them from water damage. We also pre-soak the surrounding area to protect plants and landscaping; we use a soft pressure washing technique to avoid damaging delicate surfaces, which helps to prevent oxidation and discoloration; and we then do a post rinse to prevent any damage to surrounding landscaping or plant life.” Currently, a special soft power wash is available at a special price of $300 for any house under 3,000 square feet. This includes siding and gutter exteriors. Highest Standards Nice Cans is a new adventure for both men, and they are encouraged by the response, adding, “While word- of-mouth has been great, we always have to get the word out, so people know about us.” But having been open just a little over six months, they are very pleased with customer reaction. “People are really intrigued and satisfied with this new system,

and many have signed up for plans offering continuing service. We try to offer savings when we can, and discounts can be available.” Of course, there are always challenges in starting a new business, points out Stinson. “There is red tape to deal with regarding regulations, insurance, etc. We never cut corners, and follow all the rules. Customers can count on us for the highest standards of work.” Nemes and Stinson are ready to get you started on having the cleanest trash cans in the neighborhood. As they say, “We clean the inside and the outside of the can. We ‘detail’ your trash can.” hey are also having fun with their new venture. They add, “We enjoy working together, and meeting a lot of people. We get to see different places, buildings, and areas. Now, we look forward to expanding our business and bringing our service to even more people.” For more infor mation, call (609) 847-9056 or visit nicecansnj.com. —Jean Stratton

As PU Men’s Hoops Returns to Court for 1st Time Since ’20, Tigers Showing Commitment to Getting Better on a Daily Basis

hen the Princeton U n i v e r s i t y m e n ’s basketball team last took the court on March 7, 2020 to wrap up regular season play, it was excited about its prospects in the upcoming Ivy League tournament. But Princeton never got to compete in the Ivy tourney for a shot at making the NCAA tournament as the 2019-20 season was halted at that point due to the pandemic. Months later, its 2020-21 campaign was canceled due to ongoing COVID concerns. So as his Tigers get ready to tip off its 2021-22 season by hosting Rutgers-Camden on November 9, Princeton head coach Mitch Henderson is excited just to get back in the court. “It is so great, it is humbling; I am so appreciative of the opportunity,” said Henderson, who guided the Tigers to a 14-13 overall record and a 9-5 Ivy mark in 2019-20. “It is a really fun group to work with. I really enjoy coming to work every day. That is a baseline, it is hard to put a price on that.” The Princeton players have displayed an upbeat approach as they have gotten back to work. “Everything we are asking them to do — leading each other, encouraging each other, setting examples for each other that are both positive and effort-related — that has all just been great,” said Henderson, noting that seniors Jaelin Llewellyn, Ethan Wright, and Drew Friberg

will be serving as tri-captains this season. “I am just trying to get them to be as confident in themselves as possible.” With the Tigers not having seen game action since 2020, Henderson acknowledges it will take some time to develop that confidence. “I would say that there is a natural rust factor not having suited up; you learn so much from the games,” said Henderson. “I am always telling them that I am preparing you to win. You are doing that against each other. It is like everybody has a plan until you get punched in the face. You need to have a little adversity. That is what games provide.” During the preseason, Henderson has seen his players get some valuable experience. “We have had two scrimmages, they have both been really good for us,” said Henderson. “We look at those as learning opportunities and we are very appreciative of that opportunity. I always try to tell the guys hey, that is why they call them closed door scrimmages. It is a chance for us to just learn about ourselves without everybody judging us before the lights go on. We could use more of those but the only way we are going to learn now is by suiting up and playing.” When the lights go on, Henderson is expecting star guard Llewellyn (a teamhigh 15.3 points and 4.1 rebounds a game in 2019-

20) to make a big impact. “I just appreciate so much the way Jaelin came back this year; he arrived like a senior and has made a commitment to improving the little things in his game,” said Henderson. “Finishing around the rim was an area of improvement for him both freshman and sophomore year and he really grew there. He has made that a key part of his game, the around the basket finishes. He has got the ball in his hands a ton so he is making decisions for us. The thing I appreciate the most is the energy that he is bringing to the team on a day-to-day basis and how he elevates everybody else around him. He has been really committed to being consistent.” Henderson appreciates what versatile guard Wright (7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds) brings to the table as he showed flashes of brilliance as a sophomore. “We are trying to get those flashes to be a bright, shining light; he wants to be great and it is a daily process,” said Henderson, adding that sophomore Matt Allocco and senior Max Johns (1.6 points, 1.1 rebounds) should also be in the mix in the backcourt. “There is an awful lot there, he has always been willing to put in the work. He is one of the toughest guys on our team in terms of just giving effort on a day-to-day basis. I have just never seen anybody that plays that hard all of the time.” Star forward Friberg (8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds) figures

BACK ON COURT: Princeton University men’s basketball player Jaelin Llewellyn looks to make a move in a 2020 game. Senior guard and tri-captain Llewellyn will be expected to lead the Tigers as they return to action after their 2020-21 campaign was canceled due to ongoing COVID concerns. Princeton tips off its season by hosting Rutgers-Camden on November 9. The Tigers will then head to the Asheville Championship where they will face South Carolina on November 12 in the opening round. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) to provide production from the perimeter. “I think he has a shot at being one of the best shooters in the country,” said Henderson of Friberg who drained a team-high 52 three-pointers in 2019-20. “He has got a great feel for the game, he has the trust of the team. He is very consistent in his approach and mature in the way he handles himself on and off the court.” Junior guard Ryan Langborg (4.4 points, 1.8 rebounds) also brings a good shooting touch. “Ryan has really been great in his confidence and his commitment to getting better on a day-to-day basis,” said Henderson. “His confidence on offense is contagious for those around him. He has got one of the quickest releases I have ever seen on a shot and it goes in regularly. I am really excited for him this season.” In the paint, a pair of powerful forwards, 6’8, 217-pound junior forward Tosan Evbuomwan (3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds) and 6’9, 235-pound Keeshawn Kellman (3.4 points, 1.2 rebounds) could form an exciting one-two punch. “We are just trying to work with Tosan possession after possession, he is a very unusual player for us and in college basketball,” said Henderson, noting that senior Elijah Barnes (1.4 points, 0.8 rebounds) and sophomore Zach Martini should see time in the frontcourt.

“I think he is poised to have a terrific year, he is a very difficult kid to guard and match up against. Keeshawn is another guy that is unusual. He is very strong, we hope that he will be a force in the paint. Like Richmond [Aririguzoh] before him, he is just constantly improving.” Henderson believes that he has a strong freshman group that will continue to improve as the winter unfolds. “We have a very promising freshman class, the thing that is a key factor for me is that they come with a spirit of improvement,” said Henderson, noting that one of the newcomers, 6’10, 240-pound Mason Hooks, has been establishing himself as an inside presence. “They are willing to work on the things that they need to work on and not be too hard on themselves. The seniors and juniors are not afraid to compete with them and then put their arm around them afterwards. The freshmen are not afraid of competing. I think that is a good sign. We expect all of them to be contributors, if not this year, then soon. We feel very good about all of them.” In Henderson’s view, a key to success for the squad will be how quickly it learns how to work together and play hard each minute it is on the court. “I think they need to develop their own identity as a group,” said Henderson. “It is coming together. We haven’t had a lot of adversity that is public. It is just letting

it go and playing and being committed to each other in each possession and the toughness that goes into that. I would hope that they would find it on their own, with and for each other.” Hosting Division III foe Rutgers-Camden in the opener should give the Tigers a good opportunity to start finding a rhythm. “I love playing local schools, we have normally saved a game like that for later after exams,” said Henderson. “Our schedule is much different now. You get a home contest as your opener, it really gives us much-needed experience. We are not taking anybody lightly at this point for how long we have been off.” Princeton will then head south to compete in the Asheville Championship where it will face South Carolina on November 12 in the opening round of the event. “That is a huge challenge, opening up with South Carolina there, they are an extremely physical team,” said Henderson. “We will get an opportunity to jump right out on ESPN with that national TV game. I love that game for us. I am humbled that we get a chance to jump right back into things for ourselves and for the University. It feels very big picture for me and then once we start playing, it will be alright we have got to make a shot, we have got to get a rebound.” —Bill Alden

Sparked by Stellar Play from Charles on the Back Line, PU Men’s Soccer Nips Cornell, Stays Atop Ivy Standings Alex Charles knew that he had to be on his toes as the Princeton University men’s soccer team hosted Cornell last Saturday in a clash of the two teams atop the Ivy League standings. “We had it circled on the calendar for a while ; we knew going into the season that Cornell was going to be a fantastic team,” said Princeton senior defender and co-captain Charles who had helped the Tigers to a 9-5 overall and 4-0 Ivy start coming into Saturday with Cornell bringing a 10-2-1 overall and 3-1 Ivy record to the contest. “Obviously they have a great record and have gotten some great results. Our mentality going into it was to make this our championship game. If we win this one, we just have to focus on the last two.” On Saturday, the Tigers were focused on containing a high-powered Cornell attack which had scored 36 goals in its first 13 games. “Their No. 14 (Emeka Eneli) up top is a great player, he has a really good hold up

and they look to play it into his feet and lay it off and get runs through,” said Charles. “The No. 12 (Tyler Bagley) has a lot of talent, he is great on the free kicks as well. It was really about stopping those special players.” With both rivals eyeing an Ivy title, the contest featured frenzied play with end-toend runs, rugged tackles, and bodies flying all over the pitch. Cornell’s Henry Hylbert picked up a red card 26:44 into the contest and Princeton looked to capitalize on the man-up situation. “Any time you go up a man it is an opportunity to put the game away so that was certainly our mentality,” said Charles. “After that we wanted to be smart in the back and not concede anything.” Minutes after the ejection, the Tigers took a 1-0 lead as Walker Gillespie scored on a corner kick by Kevin O’Toole. Early in the second half, Princeton doubled its lead on a goal by Daniel Diaz Bonilla, assisted on by O’Toole and Charles.

“I was streaking forward and any time you see Kevin O’Toole running forward, you have to give him the ball,” said Charles, reflecting on his assist. “He is a very fast player, one of our best on the ball. I saw him put his hand up, I had to give him the ball. He made the magic happen.” The Big Red did find the back of the net with 2:12 left in regulation but Charles and the Princeton defense shut the door on Cornell from there, winning 2-1 as the Tigers improved to 10-5 overall and 5-0 Ivy and posted their sixth straight victory. Charles was proud of how the Princeton defensive unit stepped up. “I thought it was good from the guys, we have a lot of young guys in the back line,” said Charles. “Issa [ Mudashir u ] is a freshman and Stephen Duncan has been subbing in to every game as a freshman. It was a great test for those guys to see what it is like under the lights in a big game and I thought they had great performances.” The battle-tested Charles, w h o e a r n e d H o n o r ab l e Mention All-Ivy honors in 2019, has been looking to be a good leader in his final campaign. “I think it is just about being vocal,” said Charles, a 5’10, 155-pound native of Durham, N.C. “We have done a lot of film sessions and tactics sessions

as a team so it is just making sure that we are all on the same page. We are doing our individual jobs and working for each other. That is what we said in the huddle before the game started tonight.” Riding a six-game winning streak, the Tigers have been getting the job done in recent weeks. “It is our mentality that every game we get better,” said Charles. “At the start of the season, we were in a lot of games and ended up not getting the results in our favor. Now the results have to started to fall for us. We feel like it is coming together. That comes from working w ith each other, hanging out with each other more off the field, trying to gel more. It is a ton of passion. Every single player contributes on this team. It is not just the guys who play, it is the guys who don’t play on the bench as well.” Charles, for his part, is passionate about ending his Tiger career with an Ivy crown. “Any time you are a senior and you sniff an Ivy League title you have to run with it full heart,” said Charles. “That is a thing we said in the huddle, we have a lot of seniors so do it for us and we will do it for the freshmen. Getting them started with a ring would be fantastic.” Princeton head coach Jim Barlow credited his players with displaying a lot of heart in league play. “Our guys have taken every single Ivy League game as a championship game; we

just put No. 5 on the board today because it is our fifth Ivy League championship game,” said Barlow. “I think they realized early in the year that we probably weren’t getting in (the NCAA tournament) as an at-large team. The amount of intensity and excitement that they have leading up to an Ivy League game in the team room, in the locker room, in practice the day before, shows they want it really bad. That matters, that is a factor. When things aren’t going well, they believe that they are going to weather it.” Dealing with Cornell required the Tigers to weather the storm. “That is a really good team that we played today; we started the game with four in the back, we have been going back and forth with three in the back and four in the back,” said Barlow. “It was still hard to contain them. Their attacking guys are fast and they work hard. They are good with their runs and dangerous. All of our guys in the back did a great job. We had to bring on a couple of guys in Ben Bograd and Stephen Duncan and they did a great job.” Charles and senior goalie Jack Roberts, who made 11 saves and was later named the Ivy Player of the Week, did a great job spearheading the Princeton defense. “Alex played several different positions again today,” said Barlow. “When Lucas [Gen] got hurt today, we put Alex at center back and he played

right back when we were playing four in the back and then wingback when we were paying three in the back. Jack just has so much confidence; it is contagious the confidence that he has back there.” S cor i ng m i nute s af ter Cornell got red-carded was a confidence builder for Princeton. “Getting the goal right after was important because I think if we didn’t get a goal right away, they would have sat in a little and they are explosive on the counter,” said Barlow. “So then they had to come out and I think that helped us to get the second goal.” Senior star and leading scorer O’Toole (7 goals, 9 assists) was in on both goals as he has made a habit of producing in Ivy contests. “O’Toole is a special player and has risen to the occasion for sure,” said Barlow. With the Tigers playing at Penn on November 6, Barlow is confident that his squad will keep rising to the occasion. “It is the kind of group that isn’t going to be satisfied,” said Barlow. “As soon as we got in there, they said two more.” Charles, for his part, is looking to do a lot more this fall. “We don’t just want to win the league, we want to go undefeated in the league,” said Charles. “Princeton hasn’t done that in a long time. If we can win the league, we can do something in the tournament. We want to go as long and as far as we can go.” — Bill Alden

Playing at Cornell last Friday night, the Princeton University football team could have found itself in a trap game. It was a short week and a long trip for Princeton and it was greeted by some rough weather as a chilly rain pelted Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, N.Y., With a clash at once-beaten Dartmouth looming, the undefeated Tigers could have taken a one-win Cornell squad lightly. Instead, 15th-ranked Princeton kept its focus, jumping out to a 21-0 lead and helping off a feisty Big Red squad for 34-16 win as it improved to 7-0 overall and 4-0 Ivy. It marked the third straight season that the Tigers have started 7-0, the first time the program has done that since 1901, 1902, and 1903. “We talked about it early in the week, we always prepare for things,” said Princeton head coach Bob Surace. “We knew there was a chance for bad weather so with our game plans and whatever you are going to wear on the field, you prepare for it. But is the same for both teams.” In addition to being prepared, Princeton showed character in dealing with the adverse condition and overcoming an upset-minded foe. “Every week we have shown it, whether it is Monmouth and we throw a pick-six on a bad call by me and come back and score,” said Surace, referring to a 31-28 win over the Hawks on October 9. Against Columbia (a 24-7 win on October 2), it was the runs at the end of the game. The first two games were outliers (a 32-0 win over Lehigh on September 18 and a 63-0 victory over Stetson on September 25). I feel like every week, they really have a great bond. They don’t panic, they play hard, and they play together.” The Tigers ran hard against

the Big Red, rushing for 137 yards on 47 attempts. The ground attack was augmented by backup quarterbacks Niko Vangarelli and Blake Stenstrom. Freshman Vangarelli rushed for two touchdowns and sophomore transfer Stenstrom gained 14 yards. “Fortunately we play a JV schedule and Niko was terrific, he got that freshman learning experience,” said Surace. “We were able to get him true game action and have been looking to find some opportunities for him here each week. Blake has been practicing great. We have extended (starting QB) Cole [Smith] in some situations at times. We just have to be smart, he is not 230 pounds like John Lovett or Quinn Epperly. He doesn’t have that body type. The good thing is that Blake can sling it too, it is not like he is just in there to run.” Senior linebacker Jeremiah Tyler came through after Vangarelli ran for his first TD of the game as he gathered in a fumble and raced 36 yards for a touchdown as the Tigers went ahead 14-0. “It was a great job by a couple of guys defensively, Matthew Jester and Daniel Beard forcing the fumble and JT scooped it,” recalled Surace. “We have a saying, ball finds energy and JT has a lot of energy.” Princeton increased its advantage to 21-0 as senior tight end Carson Bobo caught a 10-yard TD pass from Smith early in the second quarter. “Carson has been so consistent, there are things we asked him to do leading up into what we thought would be the ’20 season to work on and improve,” said Surace. “He was really making strides before we left for COVID. He not only made strides, he made some jumps with his blocking and his strength. He has come back as a much more well-rounded player.”

A key sequence for the Tigers came when Jeffery Sexton kicked a 39-yard field goal just before halftime to make it 27-10. Princeton then scored a TD on its first possession of the third quarter to go up 34-10 as Vangarelli scored his second touchdown after Smith connected with Dylan Classi on a 67-yard pass play to set up the score. “You see and hear it a lot on the NFL when you are able to defer and get that ball in the second half,” said Surace. “You have an opportunity to score points at the end of the half and then get the ball back. It was 10-point swing. There wasn’t a lot of time for that drive. So for us to get into field goal range and for Jeffrey to knock it through was awesome. That was huge.” In assessing the win overall, Surace saw good points on both sides of the ball. “You look at opportunity and I thought we had a really good balanced attack offensively in the first half,” said Surace. “Defensively we were very sloppy but we forced turnovers. In the second half, with the weather, our defense really tightened up. It was a really hard day to throw at that point. But our defense was much tighter in their coverages. Cornell plays multiple quarterbacks too. We executed much better. Offensively, we had two false starts and we had a sack fumble. We just had things that we have got to tighten up on.” Senior linebacker James Johnson led the defensive charge for the Tigers, making 10 tackles. “James is so consistent, he is such a good leader,” said Surace. “He is another guy that brings such a great confidence and energy. He is fun to be around.” Princeton will need more consistent play to come away with a victory when it plays at Dartmouth (6-1 overall, 3-1 Ivy) this Friday night.

Utilizing Ground Attack, Opportunistic Defense, Tiger Football Tops Cornell 34-16, Moves to 7-0

NO JOKING AROUND: Princeton University football player Matthew Jester enjoys the moment in a game earlier this season. Last Friday night, junior linebacker Jester had three tackles and a forced fumble to help lead the defensive effort as Princeton defeated Cornell 34-16. The Tigers, now 7-0 overall and 4-0 Ivy League, play at Dartmouth (6-1 overall, 3-1 Ivy) on November 5. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “This week with Dar tmouth, we really have to work to get that more complete game where all three sides of the ball are playing a little better,” said Surace. “They are playing two quarterbacks. Their starter, Derek Kyler, who has played since his freshmen year. is throwing the ball well, he is so poised. He is playing at an exceptional level and

then Nick Howard comes in and it is the wildcat stuff. He is just bulling through people. They have got good players around him. It is a typical big O-line, D-line. They are always in place, they don’t give up big plays. It is everything you would expect from Dartmouth.” Surace expects his players to rise to the occasion once again when they take on the

Big Green. “You accept challenges, we don’t make the schedule,” said Surace. “There is nothing you can do about it at the end of the day.

With the Princeton High field hockey team locked in a 2-2 tie with Scotch PlainsFanwood last Thursday afternoon in the first round of the North Jersey Group 4 sectional, Hannah Christopher saw an opening. “I called for a cross, it is really important to communicate, it is something we did really well at the end,” said PHS junior for ward Christopher. “I got it across and to have Mia [Ramirez] finish that was really awesome. Mia had a great tip, it was perfect timing.” The goal by Ramirez on the feed from Christopher proved to be the difference as fifth-seeded PHS prevailed 3-2 over the 12thseeded Raiders, improving to 15-1 and advancing to the sectional quarters where they are slated to play at fourth-seeded Montclair on November 2. “I think we really picked it up at the end,” said Christopher. “We really came together at the end.” In the early stages of the

contest, PHS struggled to get t hrough t he S cotch Plains back line. “Their defense was definitely a challenge, they had a talented defensive line and their goalie (Emilia Saccento ) was fantas t ic,” s aid Christopher. “It was really impressive that she was able to stop some of Liv’s (Olivia Weir) balls.” PHS got on the board with 3:50 left in the second quarter on a goal by sophomore Delaney Keegan, assisted by senior star Weir. After the Raiders responded with a goal late in the first half to make it a 1-1 contest, Keegan found the back of the cage early in the third quarter, set up once again by We ir. M i nute s later, Scotch Plains scored to knot the game at 2-2. In Christopher’s view, the ability of PHS to pick up its play down the stretch in earning the victory was a key step forward. “We have played a lot of games this year that ended up 8 - 0, and I think this game provided a challenge

that really helped us,” said Christopher. “It really encouraged us to communicate more and to be more of a unit on the field. It was really important for us to come into this game knowing that we don’t know what to expect and play as hard as we could and be aggressive to the ball. I think it was a change for us and I think we really performed.” Christopher has been performing better and better this fall as the season has unfolded. “I had my first goal this year,” said Christopher. “I got pulled up for states my freshman year. I have been on varsity for a few years now; I really feel like I am contributing, which is really nice.” In becoming a bigger contributor, Christopher has been making the most out of training sessions. “It helps hav ing those drills in practice for tipping, just being aware of where the ball is going to be and being able to see that before and timing our cuts perfectly,” added Christopher.

Avenging Regular Season Defeat to Montgomery, PHS Girls’ Volleyball Tops Cougars in State Opener

For the Princeton High g i r l s’ v o l l e y b a l l te a m , hosting Montgomery last Friday in the first round of the Central Jersey Group 3 sectional was a chance for atonement. I n m id - O c tob er, PHS suffered a disappointing defeat to their neighbors from Somerset Count y, falling 2-0 (25-19, 25-19). “The day before at practice, we were talking that t h is was a redempt ion match,” said Tiger head coach Patty Manhart. “We were missing a starter the first time we played them. I made some rotation changes to fill in for that spot that didn’t work out.” In the match on Friday, things weren’t working out for fifth-seeded PHS in the early stages as it faced an eight-point deficit midway through the first set against the 12th-seeded Cougars. The Tigers, though, got rolling and won the set 27-25 and then took the second set 25-18 to win the match. PHS improved to 15-6 with the win, and play at fourthseeded Brick Memorial in the sectional quarterfinals on November 3. “The swing that let us down was serve receive, just not being able to get out of one rotation against a tough server from Montgomery,” said Manhart. “We were able to flip the tide and go on a service run on our own. Lois Mastukawa, our freshman setter, did a great job and that whole momentum going

into the second game was helpful for us. You could tell Montgomery was taken out of it after they lost such a big lead. We were able to capitalize on that in set two.” Manhart was happy with the overall effort from her squad in the victory. “I felt like we matched up with Montgomery pretty well on offense and defense,” said Manhart. “I was happy with how the girls were passing. I was just looking at the stats and the fact that they were able to keep Georgia Weiss to three kills was amazing. That is what we were getting ready for, knowing that she made such a big difference when we lost to them.” Matsukawa cer tainly made a difference for PHS against the Cougars, tallying four digs, 14 assists, and 11 service points. “Lois is such a focused player, t he pressure is tough as a freshman but I have tried to communicate to her something that she does so well is her upbeat energ y, nothing shakes her,” said Manhart. “The team trusts her and so when we were down by that many points, she just kept on grinding. She didn’t let it get to her, she stayed positive. She was a big help in getting that swing back and winning that first set 27-25. She is a great spot server too so we were able to use that to our advantage. She is very smart about where she was

serving.” The one-two punch of junior Sarah Villamil and senior Ayo Ince also gave PHS an advantage, with Villamil contributing nine kills and three digs in the victory and Ince chipping in six kills and one dig. “Sarah’s energy is great, she is not afraid to swing,” said Manhart. “A lot of girls, if you are down or you are in a tight situation, you start to play a little bit safe, give them easy stuff. But Sarah is not afraid to keep swinging, she keeps going hard, no matter the tempo of the game and that makes a big difference. And then having Ayo in, the two of them together can balance out the attack. Neither one of them has to feel the pressure of being the only person that can score because they are both great outside. So taking turns in the front row and then it is that nice balance where it doesn’t get to be too much for one person. It is a really nice team effort.” Starting the state tournament with the redemption against Montgomery felt nice for the Tigers. “T h ey were pu mp e d, it felt a little bit different because Montgomer y is someone we play during the season,” said Manhart. “It felt like a second chance for regular season rematch even though this was the first round of states. So I think this next game against Brick is going to feel different be-

cause it is a team we know nothing about and that we don’t see during the regular season.” In Manhart’s view, the style of play employed by the Cougars should help her squad in the matchup against Brick. “Looking at Brick’s statistics, it seems like they are a similar team to Montgomery,” said Manhart. “They have one big outside hitter who contributes a lot to the team. So the fact that we were practicing for that against Montgomer y and we are going to expect that again against Brick, hopefully hav ing t hat exper ience in round one helps us in round two.” With the Tigers reeling off three straight wins after going through a lull in mid- October when they h a d t h r e e c o n s e c u t i ve losses as Manhart experimented with her rotation, they are poised for a big run in states. “We are back to where we were during our stronger streak now,” said Manhart. “I think the girls recognize that too and feel good about the change back to where we were before. We want to continue to keep going — playing in November is what we always look forward to. It has arrived and we would love to keep the season extended.” —Bill Alden

P RO C AC C I N I

David Siegel warmed up to his new Hun School football team quickly. The postgraduate came down twice for workouts over the summer from his New Canaan, Conn., home. “Instantly I felt part of a family,” said Siegel. “That’s the easiest way to put it. I came down and I had fun with the guys.” On one particularly memorable day, Hun head coach Todd Smith moved his team inside the gym to escape a downpour. They played knockout and Siegel was a finalist in one game. “Ever yon e w as cha nting my name,” said Siegel. “And I was this new kid who just met everyone. It made me realize how special of a place Hun is.” Even before he joined the team, Siegel was already a name to the Hun family. The right tackle’s father, Robert, was a 1988 graduate of Hun who was inducted into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2010, one of the few occasions that brought

David to the campus before he arrived this fall. “My dad gave me free rein of the whole process,” said Siegel. “Coach Smith did reach out. I knew my dad went there and I was choosing between a few schools. After I talked to Coach Smith a lot, I just felt the most comfortable there, but my dad never put any pressure on me to go to The Hun School. Obviously he was excited when I did go there and when I got there the only number available to me was his old number [71]. He was really happy that I did choose The Hun School.” The current Hun No. 71 made his dad happy again as he helped the Raiders improve to 7-0 with a 5621 win at Peddie on Saturday. Hun finishes first in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL), and avenged a loss to Peddie in 2019 as well as another one that was a bit more personal to Siegel. “For me, there was a little more on the line against

Peddie,” said Siegel. “When my dad was a senior, his only loss was to Peddie. He couldn’t let that up. He was really excited for this game. Actually when we got to Peddie he walked around and saw the MAPL League championship that they lost to them. It was big for me as well in helping him.” Siegel has been a part of an unbeaten start in his only year with the Raiders. He has enjoyed making his own memories at Hun after hearing about his father’s while growing up. “He had always told me stories about how good he was in high school which I always laugh at,” said Siegel. “It was really cool to be able to talk to him and hear what his experience was like and then actually come here to The Hun School and meet his old coach, Mr. [Bill] Quirk, who’s now the athletic director and trainer.” Now Siegel is focused on Hun’s goal of trying to finish out a perfect season. The Raiders will host St. Frances Academy (Md.) on November 6 as the program celebrates its Senior Day. They will finish at Wyoming Seminary on Nov. 13. “We want to be 9-0,” said Siegel. “That’s obviously everyone’s dreams. We want to leave no doubt on the field that we are the best team here. We want to go 9-0, but we have to take each game one at a time.” The latest win was sewed up early on when Hun scored four touchdowns in the first quarter and jumped out to a 28-0 lead and took a 4214 advantage into halftime. Raider quarterback Marco Lainez III finished the game hitting 7-of-8 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns. Jake Lezzer had two of those scoring catches as well as an interception to set up one of his scores, Owen Anderson had a touchdown reception and Ahmad Dixon had a touchdown catch and touchdown run. Kamar Archie and Sean Childs also scored touchdowns on the ground. Owen Wafle caught a touchdown pass from Jack Moran. “I feel like the key for us was just spreading the ball around,” said Siegel. “We don’t have just one playmaker, we have a bunch. I think we had five people score. And we’ve had around four or five people score every game. I think that’s something that makes us different and hard to beat.” Week after week, the offensive line has drawn credit for setting up the skill players. While most of the line included returning players, Siegel’s addition has helped. “O n e i mp or t a nt t h i ng about being a good offensive line is how close you are,” said Siegel. “I feel like we work together so well. That’s why we’re able to be so good on the field. We know each other so well that when we take our steps, we know how we’re doing it, how we’re blocking someone. We’re so good together as a unit which makes us better on the field.” The 56 points Hun scored against Peddie was a seasonhigh. It’s the fifth time this season that the Raiders have scored 40 or more points. Hun has seen its team come together through the year. “ W h e n s om e on e g o e s

down, someone else steps up,” said Siegel. “Everyone is supportive. That’s where we improve and become one. On the offensive side, we’ve been running the ball great. When we run the ball, we can pass the ball off that same type of play. Offensively, it would be our run game that’s improved the most.” The offense hasn’t needed to do much to win because of the defense’s dominance. Hun hadn’t allowed more than seven points in any of the previous five games before Peddie. Alex Robbins had 12 tackles and Dillon Bucchere had 11. Lezzer and Bucchere had interceptions. “Defensively, we’ve been unbelievable all season,” said Siegel. “I have to hand it to the defense. They’re only allowing about seven points a game and they’re just killing it.” Siegel has appreciated how much his new team has helped. Working daily with his teammates has helped prepare him for games and is setting him up for the jump to the speed of the college game. “The people who I get to go up against in practice help me the most,” said Siegel. “I’m going up against Logan (Howland), Dante (Barone), and Owen Wafle, who’s an absolute beast, every day in practice. They’ve helped me become so much better as an offensive lineman getting the best possible looks I could get. At New Canaan I wasn’t challenged the most in terms of scout reps and in terms of people on the scout team going against me, so I think the competition we have just during practice is huge.” Siegel, whose father went on to play football at Hobar t College, has grown each season, going from a 170-pound freshman to a 265-pound senior and now a 280 -pound postgraduate. The extra year of high school has helped elevate his college status. He had interest from the likes of UConn and UMass after his senior season at New Canaan. Siegel committed verbally to Vanderbilt over the summer for the chance to play in the SEC and attend a strong academic school. “It’s helped me immensely getting to work with coach Smith, who loves his offensive linemen,” said Siegel. “He’s put out a bunch of great offensive linemen. He’s helped me develop. He’s helped me a ton in the run game, which was definitely my weakest spot coming into Hun. That’s the thing I think I’m best at this year. I’m happy he was able to develop me as an offensive linemen.” Siegel was the perfect candidate to be a postgraduate after his senior season at New Canaan was cut to four games by the COV ID -19 pandemic on top of missing his entire junior season due to a torn labrum in his shoulder. He played sparingly as a sophomore when New Canaan had a strong line. He has enjoyed being a part of Hun’s success in his last season of high school football. “It really means a lot,” said Siegel. “My whole dream as a kid was to have a senior year with a great team.” —Justin Feil

Getting Battle-Tested by Challenging Stretch Drive, Hun Girls’ Soccer Facing Pennington in Prep A Title Clash In late September, the Hun School girls’ soccer team turned a lot of heads when it edged perennial power Pennington 1-0. Gaining confidence from its first v ictor y over its nemesis since 2014 when it topped Pennington 2-0 in the state Prep A title game, Hun emerged as one of the top sides in the area. The Raiders advanced to the Mercer County Tournament quarterfinals where they suffered a tough 1-0 loss in overtime to Princeton High on October 23. Four days later, Hun bounced back from that setback, defeating Kent Place 1-0 in the state Prep A semifinals. As a result, top-seeded Hun earned a rematch with second-seeded Pennington and will host its rival in the Prep A final on November 3. “We love the competitive challenge of playing the best teams,” said Hun head coach Jenn Barrett. “Obviously they have improved over the season and they have done very, very well. We want to play them, we look forward to playing them, we want to prove that our win was solid, and we can do it again.” Over the last 10 days, Hun has faced plenty of challenges, In addition to the games against PHS and Kent Place, the Raiders lost 1-0 to Delaware Valley on October 28, tied the Peddie School 2-2 last Saturday, and then edged the L aw renceville School 2-1 last Monday. By topping Lawrenceville, Hun improved to 11-4-2 and clinched at least a share of the Mid-Atlantic ( MA PL) Prep League title. “We have been pushed and they have risen to the challenge,” said Barrett, reflecting on her team’s busy stretch drive. “We have a great group of kids, they all really get along. They all have the philosophy of the we before me; it makes a huge difference. They are very talented players who are learning to play various positions.”

The Raiders pushed hard in the loss to PHS. “I thought that was the best we have played, we played hard from the moment the whistle blew,” said Barrett, whose team was seeded sixth in the MCT while the Tigers were seeded third. “It was an even match. We try very hard to stick to our game plan. I try not to do a ton of changing our game plan based on who we play. I feel like if we are solid, we will do well. We played so well and the loss was such a sting. I said to the girls, they had nothing to have their heads down about. They worked super hard, they did everything they are capable of doing. It is just what happens in sports. That is what makes sports exciting.” While Hun didn’t play its best in the win over Kent Place, it showed some character in surviving and advancing. “We couldn’t connect as much with each other,” said Barrett, who got a goal from Olivia D’Aulerio in the victory. “We played down a little bit. We still got through it and came out with a win.” Looking ahead to round two with Pennington (15-22), who won the MCT title last week, Barrett believes her players need to keep their heads and focus on what they do best to earn their first Prep A crown since that 2014 win over the Red Raiders. “I think composure is a key, we are anticipating a relatively large crowd as we had with Germantown Academy,” said Barrett, referring to a 1-0 win over the Patriots on October 1 before a Friday night lights Homecoming throng. “We still had to play our game and not get sucked into the atmosphere. Another key point is just going to be using our combination play and touch play and making sure that every player on the field does the best at which they are capable of doing and rising to the challenge.” — Bill Alden

Senior Goalie Blandford Battles Hard to the End As Stuart Field Hockey Falls to MKA in Prep B Final

Audrey Blandford was under fire as the top-seeded Stuart Country Day School field hockey team hosted second-seeded Montclair Kimberley Academy (MKA) in the state Prep B title game last Wednesday. Wit h M K A cont rolling possession in the first half and generating a number of scoring opportunities, Stuart senior goalie Blandford had to keep on her toes. “They passed really well and really fast,” said Blandford. “They had their sticks down.” After MKA broke through with a goal in the second quarter, Blandford and the Stuart defense held the fort from there, but the Tartans couldn’t find the back of the cage as they fell 1-0 and ended the season with a final record of 11-4-2. “We played so well today,” said Blandford, who made eight saves in the contest. “I was getting into a rhythm.” In the second half, Stuart tried to get into a rhythm, getting plenty of possession in the third quarter. In the waning moments of the contest, the Tartans had MKA on its heels, generating two corners and nearly scoring. “We really kept pushing the right sideline and we kept getting so close every time,” said Blandford. While the defeat in the title game stung, Blandford was proud of what the Tartans accomplished this fall. “We lost a lot of seniors from last year but we did a really good job,” said Blandford. “We worked so hard. Each game, we worked on something else. It was a great year.” Over the last four years,

Blandford developed a great bond with her fellow seniors — Kaitlyn Magnani, Keya Patel, Sanya Khullar, and Lauren Gracias. “We are very close, it is going to be hard to leave them next year,” said Blandford. Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik credited her club with playing hard all season long. “It was our 17th game of the season, we have never had a game where we didn’t have a full effort,” asserted Bruvik. “We played 60 minutes all year. I felt we did continue to get better as each game went on. So to have a team do that is such a credit to them and their passion for this game and their teamwork. They love doing it for themselves but also for each other.” Bruvik acknowledged that MKA provided a big challenge as its stifling defense in the circle made things tough on the Tartans. “I don’t think we had any corners in the first half, they are a talented team,” said Bruvik. “So offensively getting more opportunities was a challenge for us. I am proud of how we kept fighting at the end of the game. We were able to get a couple of corners, I thought we might put one in.” The Stuart defense also excelled in the contest. “I thought Alex Mandzij had a terrific game as our center back,” said Bruvik. “ We pu s he d K a it ly n [Magnani] up a little more because Alex was hitting some great balls up to the offense.” In Bruvik’s view, the squad brought a terrific attitude to

the field on a daily basis. “I couldn’t be more proud, the chemistry was there from day one,” said Bruvik. “They are just great kids as individuals and put them together, it was great.” Bruvik credited her five seniors with setting a positive tone. “Three of them have been here since kindergarten — Audrey, Kaitlyn, and Keya — it is just great leadership,” said Bruvik. “Molly Lagay came all the way from Tulane to watch the game so kudos to her, leaving this legacy of still loving the game and passing it on to these kids. Now I think these kids have done the same for our girls moving forward.” Blandford is leaving quite a legacy with her play and leadership. “Audrey rose to the occasion game after game; her save-making abilities coupled with her cool headedness sparked confidence from the back line to the attack,” said Bruvik. “Whether it was clearing a blast off a corner or a scrum on the goal line, Audrey did it all as the last line of defense. As a co-captain and peer leader she made a tremendous impact on our freshman and her teammates in regard to teamwork and perseverance, a truly tremendous leader both on and off the field.” Blandford, for her part, isn’t ready to give up the game. “From freshman year to sophomore year was a jump,” said Blandford. “I did a lot of work outside, I started playing club. I am very happy with where I am right now. I am looking forward to playing club in college.” — Bill Alden

Gillian Wendy Slater-Godfrey G i l l i a n We n d y S l ate r Godfrey was an extraordinar y woman. From her bir th in London on June 14, 1929 to her peaceful passing in Connecticut on October 8, 2021, she had the gift of connecting with ot hers. In fact, Wendy’s generosity of spirit led her to always know what an intimate moment required to make it memorable, by either offering loving advice, compliments, w it ticisms, intellectual insights, lines of poetry and song, and if you were ver y lucky — a dirty limerick or two! Trained as an occupational therapist at Dorset H o u s e , O x for d a n d S t . L loy s, E xeter, D evon i n 1952, she combined the

gift of connection with her creative talents. Wendy, or Gillian as she referred to herself professionally, had a long career as an occupational therapist including working in the Napsbur y Sur rey Count y Psychiatric Hospital and Netherne Psychiatric Hospital in the U.K., the Princess Margaret Hospital for Children in Trinidad, as the senior art therapist at Deveraux Ranch School in Goleta, California, to teaching art at t he Br itish S chool of Br u s s els. From E u rop e, Gillian came to Princeton where she first became involved with the AAMH creating the Boarding Home Outreach Program. T his p os it ion a l lowe d her to

bring love and compassion to those who society overlooks. All these years of experience led to her final and most significant professional achievement of her life, which was the first director and creative force behind the Suzanne Patterson Center / Princeton Senior Resource Center. Gillian created the center as a place of genuine community where everyone was welcome and they knew it. She brought her u nique ability to emanate an energy of light, learning, collectivism and ultimately love to people’s lives. In fact, so significant was her impact on the center that upon her retirement in 1994 the then Mayor of the Borough of Princeton, Marvin R. Reed, issued a Proclamation, declar ing May 5, 1994 as “Gillian Godfrey Day”! A f te r h e r r e t i r e m e n t , Wendy further developed her passions and gifts as a gardener, an ar tist, and a writer, all of which continued to flourish and evolve even up to her last moments, demonstrating that one is never too old to live life creatively and to its fullest. Furthermore, she never stopped creating communit y wherever she went, including in Willimantic, C T, where she spent much time with her daughter, her daughter-inlaw, and their friends, all of whom who quickly became her friends as well. Predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Dr. Leonard E. A. Godfrey, Wendy leaves behind her son Nicholas Godfrey, his wife Allison, and their two children Slater and Alta of Boston,

MA; and her daughter Dr. Phoebe Godfrey, her wife Tina, of Willimantic, CT, and their son Dylan Fedora of Brattleboro, VT. Her beloved cat Cleome now has a new happy home and lives on “Godfrey Street” in Willimantic. It would be an understatement to say that she will be missed by us and all who knew her, but at the same time the love she gave continues to grow, to bear fruit, and will do so far into the future. Finally, it must be said that up to her last moment, Wendy lived her life according to her deeply seated values of compassion, empathy, generosity, equity, respect, grace, and dignity. In homage to her favorite poet, William Blake and his poem “Jerusalem,” she never ceased from mental fight, nor did her sword s l e ep i n h e r h a n d, a n d there is no doubt that she has returned to England’s green and pleasant land. Those who would like to suppor t Wendy’s lifelong commitment to social justice and the empowerment of those in need may make donations in her name to any of the following nonprofit organizations : The Guardian (online newspaper that she suppor ted ) ; CLiCK Willimantic ( cofounded by her daughters); The Children’s Home Society of New Jersey (run by her neighbor and friends); T h e S u z a n n e Pat te r s o n Center / Princeton Senior Resource Center ( where she worked ) ; the A A MH of West Windsor Township (also where she worked); or any other of their choice.

Joseph L. King Joseph Lacey King, 88, of Princeton and Point Pleasant Beach, passed on October 29, 2021 with his wife at his side. Born in Dobbs Ferry, NY, on October 16, 1933, he was the eldest son of Joseph and Celestine King. Joe grew up in Hopewell, NJ, and attended Princeton High School, where he met his future wife and dance partner of 68 years, Kathryn (Cuomo). Joe enlisted in the Navy during the Korean War. He subsequently attended Rider College. Joe was employed by the D. Van Nostrand Publishing Company. When the D. Van Nostrand Company was purchased by Litton Industries, Joe became Litton’s Eastern Distribution Manager. His interests in woodworking, carving, and building eventually led him to pursue a full-time career as a carpenter. In 1975 he renovated the historic Grovers Mill, marking the start of his long-held small business. Joe is survived by wife Kathryn King of Princeton; sister Celestine Long of Lawrenceville; and his three children Cheri-Ellen (David) Crowl of Farmingdale, NJ, Patrick (Lindsay) King of Belle Mead, NJ, and Michael

(Joanna) King of Rochester, MN. Grandchildren Caitlin (James) Rumbaugh, Lacey (Mychal) Jensen-Lida, and Katie King; and great-grandchildren Jordan Rumbaugh, Cameron Rumbaugh, and Scarlett Jensen-Lida. Joe was creative, curious, gregarious, and individualistic. He enjoyed fishing, boating, and golf, and simply being in the company of good friends. He was especially devoted to his family. A Memorial Visitation will be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Saturday November 6, 2021 at Mather Hodge Funeral Home, 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Saturday November 6, 2021 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 216 Nassau Street, Princeton. Burial will follow in St. Paul’s Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad.
