Early this month, a petition signed by 130 students and alumni of Westminster Choir College of Rider University was delivered to Rider administration. Complaining of inadequate facilities, decreasing enrollment, and unfulfilled promises since Westminster was moved from its longtime Princeton location to Rider’s Lawrenceville campus last year, the petition demanded an immediate response. Rider responded with a lengthy email on December 16, addressing the concerns listed in the petition. “Starting at a high level, please know we have invested considerable time and millions of dollars in Westminster Choir College campus transition and the facilities to support it, all in a very challenging fiscal and COVID-impacted environment,” reads the letter, which is signed by Rider President Gregory G. Dell’Omo, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost DonnaJean Fredeen, and Westminster College of the Arts Dean Marshall Onofrio. “We know transitions are hard and often require sustained work to get right. We are continuing our work as explained below.” While surprised at the length of the administration’s response, one of the students who wrote the petition was less than impressed with its content. “To me, it’s a prime example of gaslighting,” said Marion Jacob, who is pursuing a graduate degree in choral conducting. “It has taken all of our concerns and said they were not valid, exaggerated, or just don’t deserve attention. From every part of this petition, every one of our concerns was ignored. They mention a few things they have changed, but only since they got the petition.” Westminster’s 22-acre choral campus has been located on Walnut Lane in Princeton since the 1930s. The college became part of Rider in 1992. Four years ago, Rider announced it would sell Westminster and its Princeton campus, saying the institution had been losing money. But the controversial plan was dropped in 2017 after attempts to sell fell through, and last year Rider absorbed Westminster into its Lawrenceville campus. Among the biggest concerns expressed by the students is the size of Rider’s Gill Chapel, which the petition says isn’t large enough to accommodate Westminster’s famed Symphonic Choir. It also cites the chapel’s acoustics as Continued on Page 10

Record Number of New COVID Cases Reported The Princeton Health Department on Monday announced the highest number of new COVID-19 infections in Princeton since the start of the pandemic almost two years ago. There were 42 new cases in the previous seven days and 75 new cases in the previous 75 days, surpassing the highest previous totals of 39 for seven days and 66 for 14 days, registered a year ago in December 2020. Princeton University reported a continuing “campus risk status: moderate to high” for the week of December 11-17, with 98 positive COVID cases out of 16,942 tests for a positivity rate of 0.58 percent. Due to rising case numbers, the University on December 15 canceled or postponed all indoor gatherings with food and those where face coverings can’t be worn, then on December 16 announced that all undergraduate exams would be shifted to a remote format so that students could leave campus as soon as possible. The University has also required all students, faculty, and staff who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 booster by January 31. “The most recent increase in cases is likely a combination of Delta and Omicron,” said Jeff Grosser, Princeton deputy

administrator for health and community services. “There is really no other way to explain why we would be experiencing such a quick take-off in cases.” Little more than a month ago, in late November, Princeton had relatively few COVID cases, but as the colder weather, the holidays, and the Omicron variant all arrived the numbers rose rapidly. “With Omicron accounting for 73 percent of new infections in the United States last week and an estimated 90 percent of

new infections in the New York area, we have to assume it’s already here,” Grosser said. “The first wave of Delta impacted Princeton starting around mid-July, which peaked in early September and then began to retreat, but just momentarily, in early November.” Grosser went on to speculate about possible causes for the rapidly rising infection rates. “Princeton has a very high vaccination rate, when compared to other similar towns, with the exception of our Continued on Page 10

Special Improvement District Still Under Consideration for Town

At a meeting of Princeton Council on Tuesday, December 21 (after press time), the governing body was expected to consider taking the next step toward forming a Special Improvement District (SID) by hiring Economic Development Strategists LLC for the third phase of consulting services on the proposal. Stuart Koperweis, president of the company, led a presentation on the initiative at Council’s December 13 meeting. Koperweis has worked for the past year with the town’s Economic Revitalization Steering Committee, which held two meetings last September with business owners about

forming a SID. The issue would be further discussed at a January Council meeting, when there would be opportunity for public comment. A SID is a defined area in the business district of a town that is authorized by state law and created by a local ordinance to collect a special assessment on the commercial properties and/or businesses in that area. A nonprofit organization, separate from the municipality, collects that assessment, which goes toward improving the economic, physical, and social values of the district. Continued on Page 11

“A Revolutionary Conversation: Whose history and whose freedom, anyway?” is a new program of the annual Patriots Week celebration in Trenton. On Monday, December 27 from 3-5 p.m. at Trenton Free Public Library, Trenton students will portray real-life African Americans who lived during the Revolutionary War and were excluded from the ideals espoused by founding fathers that “all men are created equal” and “endowed with certain inalienable rights…” “We are so excited about participating,” said Danielle Miller-Winrow, headmaster of Sprout U School of the Arts.

the book, and Woelfle will be on hand to discuss her work and autograph books at the event. The event is indoors, with face masks required and COVID-19 vaccinations and booster shots strongly recommended. “We are thrilled to be part of the Patriots Week tradition,” said Rebecca Franco-Martin, director of the Trenton Free Public Library. “We invite the public to join us to hear stories of African Americans living during the Revolutionary War — as Continental soldiers, loyalists, slaves and citizens — and discuss how our community can interpret our shared history in ways that respect our shared ideals of equality.” The event is funded by a

Humanities to the Old Mill Hill Society, and supported by the Trenton Branch NAACP. The committee’s goal is sharing stories not typically included in traditional Anglo versions of the Revolutionary War in a way that not only entertains and educates children, but also engages teens and adults in exploring issues of equality and freedom. Characters will share their stories while engaging visitors in discussions about choices they faced and actions they took. Arts/crafts activities and games will be provided for young children. Issues to be explored were selected based on a public survey in July and a virtual “community conversation” live streamed on the TFPL Facebook page. Visit trentonmillhill.org for more information.

Local Artist’s “Sicilian Dream” Mural Invites Viewing and Interaction An eye-catching new mural in a local pizza shop allows viewers to interact as well as view the art. The mural by local artist Victoria Bell, at Nino’s Pizza Star in the Princeton Shopping Center, is getting a lot of attention. “It is so colorful. Everyone is excited,” said owner Nino Spera. Hidden in the large mural are 12 cars racing; 11

ships sailing; 10 bikini athletes; nine row boats; eight orange trees; seven lemon trees; six bells ringing; five red balloons; four birds singing; three Sicilian flags; two angels hugging; and one pizza star (a slice of pizza).

I painted a Sicilian horse and cart as a thank you for that moment, and then the Colosseum a few years later.” Spera said those drawings impressed him, and when he decided to replace the shop’s wallpaper that showed scenes of Tuscany, he asked Bell to paint the wall. Bell said she knew that since Spera grew up in Sicily, she would paint those scenes. “I would love to say that I went to Sicily to draw sketches of the countryside, but, in fact, I used imagery from Google Maps as a way to create a mental model of a three-dimensional scene of Sicily.” Bell had studied mental models with Philip Johnson-Laird, a Princeton University psychology professor, and used photographs of Taormina, Sicily, and flyover screenshots for information on the lay of the land. “As nature is the best reference for drawing, the palm trees and lemon trees were drawn from life,” she EASTRIDGE DESIGN said. “Six bells were added to the original sketches, be2021 Town Topics Readers’ Choice Award winner cause we are the Bell family and there are six of us.

Saint Peter’s Approved for Elective Angioplasty Procedures

Closed Christmas Day

Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, a member of Saint Peter’s Healt hcare System, has received approval by the New Jersey Department of Health (DOH) for the addition of elective angioplasty/ elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as a licensed service provided. Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation earlier this year that addressed a longstanding lack of licensed angioplasty facilities at locations that were not licensed cardiac surgery centers. The new legislation allowed Saint Peter’s and other qualified facilities to apply for licensing approval to perform elective angioplasty. Angioplasty is a decadesproven procedure that increases life-sustaining blood flow to the heart when coronary artery disease has blocked the vessels that feed it. Guided by sophisticated imaging, surgeons thread a thin, flexible tube through the bloodstream to deliver powerful intervention, right at the site of the blockage. Saint Peter’s was previously licensed to only perform diagnostic cardiac catheterization and emergency angioplasty, but like other similarly licensed hospitals was not permitted, based on previous regulations, to perform angioplasty on an elective basis. Leslie D. Hirsch, FACHE, president and CEO of Saint Peter’s Healthcare System, has been a staunch advocate pushing for Saint Peter’s ability to perform elective angioplasty, especially because the hospital has long had approval to perform diagnostic cardiac catheterization and emergency angioplasty. His advocacy focused on increasing immediate access to advanced cardiac care for patients in New Jersey. Saint Peter’s approval as a provider of elective angioplasty was based on a variety of factors including supporting materials reviewed by the DOH, as well as a recommendation by the Department’s Survey and Field Operations program, which conducted an on-site inspection of Saint Peter’s cardiac catheterization suites.

Question of the Week:

“Why is this ceremony important to you?” (Asked Saturday at the Wreaths Across America Patriot Graves Commemoration Ceremony at Princeton Battleﬁeld State Park) (Photos by Weronika A. Plohn)

“The reason it’s important for me to be here today is I am vice president of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment reenactors. They fought in this battle, so having us here to represent the soldiers as well as all of the other troops that fought here is a big honor.” —Chuck Monroe, Ewing

Michael: “This is paying respect to people who fought for our freedoms. We know that there were some Masons who fought in this battle, so this is very important for present Masons to pay those respects.” Donald: “I think that Michael summed it up very well. George Washington was a brother Freemason, as were many other ofﬁcers and men on both sides of the Revolutionary War.” —Michael Register, Hamilton with Donald Skaar, Belle Mead

“I am here reenacting the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, known as the Black Regiment because 60 percent of this regiment was made up of African Americans who had joined the Continental Army. So, in order to fully commemorate this history, I am here to represent those soldiers. It’s important because the Battle of Princeton was a major turning point in the Revolution, and I am here to stand in place of the African Americans who sacriﬁced their lives for our freedom.” —Algernon Ward, Trenton

Rafael: “The ceremony is important to me because we are here to commemorate the lives that were lost and ones that were saved and a start of a brotherhood. As a Freemason, I am here to honor and remember the sacriﬁces of the brothers who fought on this ﬁeld.” —Rafael Sosa, second from left, and family, Hightstown

Cannabis Dispensaries in Town? Council Will Decide In Early 2022

Despite vocal opposition and widespread concerns, t he P r inceton C an nabis Task Force (CTF), in its final meeting of the year last Thursday, decided to stand by its initial recommendations, which would allow up to three cannabis dispensaries in town. There will be more discussion, public and private, in the coming mont h before Pr inceton Council takes up the issue and comes to a decision in late January or early February. Among the most hotlydebated topics in meetings, social media, and the press have been the questions of whether Princeton should allow any retail cannabis establishments at all, whether one dispensary rather than three should be the starting point, and whether the required distance of cannabis dispensaries from schools should be at least 200 feet, as recommended by the CTF and required for liquor stores, or considerably further. The 21-member CTF is only an advisory body, CTF

Chair and Princeton Council member Eve Niedergang noted, emphasizing that Council will make its own decision and is not bound by any of the CTF’s recommendations. Council is expected to hold another public meeting designed for public input next month before deliberating and eventually coming to a decision. More than 750 residents have signed an online petition calling on Council to prohibit cannabis sales anywhere near schools, playgrounds, and residences, and at their December 14 meeting the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) voted to send a statement to the Princeton Council calling for a buffer of at least 1,000 feet for dispensaries near schools. The BOE also called on the Council to designate a portion of tax revenues from cannabis sales to go to the schools to support cannabis education for students and staff, as well as a commitment from the town to strictly enforce laws prohibiting sales to minors.

At its December 16 meeting, CTF members present were asked to weigh in on whether any of their recommendations should be revised and whether they should conduct additional research and possibly add an appendi x to address concerns that have been brought up by the community. Some CTF members expressed disappointment at the negative reactions from some community members. They all agreed that they should not revise any recommendations and that it is now Princeton Council’s job to decide what to do with those recommendations. “It’s part of a process,” said CTF member and Princeton University Director of Community and Regional Affairs Kristin Appelget. “We were charged as a task force to evaluate the issue, gather data, and be advisory to Council. We’ve done that work over an extended period of time, and we’ve provided our report to Council.” CTF member Milan Vaclavik added, “We made our recommendations based on the research that we did. We spent a lot of time talking about a lot of different issues, looking at things from multiple sides. I stand behind the recommendations. I think we’ve done a really good job of trying to analyze all of the information that we have available. We’ve been ver y careful about citing studies. We realize there’s a lot of pro and con argument.”

Vaclavik went on to criticize some of the dissenting comments made at previous meetings for “cherry-picking” and “a lot of sensationalizing.” Tommy Parker, who recently joined the CTF, also praised the work done, the research, “the fact-based evidence produced,” and the recommendations that emerged from that work. “I absolutely would stand behind those recommendations,” he said, claiming that some of the “outcry from the community” is “feeding off misinformation.” “It’s not fair to the work that you guys did to get to this point,” he added. The CTF members who are also Council members — Niedergang, Leticia Fraga, and Michelle Pirone Lambros — did not take a stand on the question of whether to amend the CTF recommendations. CTF member Dean Smith, in concurring with his colleagues, urged that they stand firm in their recommendations, stating that alcohol is far more destructive than cannabis. “I have yet to see from those in opposition any evidence that cannabis is more of a threat to youth, to the safety of the community, than alcohol,” he said. Niedergang pointed out that the CTF will be continuing its work in the coming year, focusing on the follow-up issues of providing the community with educational materials on cannabis and focusing on racial and social justice in determining how the tax revenue from dispensaries, if approved, would be spent and how enforcement of regulations will

take place. Though not a meeting devoted to public input — community members will have more chance to weigh in at next month’s meeting — about a dozen audience members were eager to speak in the final 20 minutes of last Thursday’s session. Wei Wu urged the decision-makers — in this case Pr inceton Council — to compromise, stating that cannabis causes more harm to young people than cigarettes or alcohol. Sheila McLaughlin criticized the CTF for lacking any dissenting opinions. “The hallmark of any good task force or any deliberative body is to have sufficient dissenting opinion, and you have none,” she said. “You’re all in violent agreement on this subject matter.” Lisa Jacknow accused the CTF of being closed-minded and unreceptive in its responses to public opinion and of minimizing the effects of cannabis on children. She called for more community input and more safeguards to be put in place to protect children in the community. Minzhi Liu and Qing Li both criticized the CTF report for insufficient references to research, and Liu called the report “one-sided.” Shenwei Zhao and Jian Chen both criticized the CTF, questioned whether their process was democratic, and urged Council to listen carefully to the opposition voices. “The report is biased,” said Zhao. “It’s a product of your echo chamber.”

Community member Abigail Kalmbach spoke in favor of the CTF recommendations, pointing out that many safeguards would accompany any dispensaries in town. “Having a dispensary limits the kids from buying cannabis from off-market sources,” she said. “It’s a safer supply of cannabis, and there are a ton of rules required in order to enter a dispensary. Children can’t get into the dispensary to buy cannabis. You have to show proof that you’re 21 or older.” Speaking in support of the work of the CTF, Niedergang emphasized, “Throughout this process the well-being of the community, particularly the children, has played a key part. Many of the people on the CTF are parents, so that well-being has never been far from our minds. We would never take action that we thought might be damaging to the community or to the children of the community.” —Donald Gilpin

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK

Liz Dyevich: “Superhero” in the Nurse’s Office at Johnson Park School

he students’ physical and mental well-being is the top priority of the Princeton Public Schools (PPS), and in the forefront of that endeavor are the seven nurses at the district schools. The past two years have presented them with situations beyond what they could possibly have imagined or trained for, but they have stepped up to lead the schools in confronting the challenges of COVID-19. “T hroughout t he pan dem ic, our nurses have embodied the best of PPS as they assist our students, families, and staff with compassion, understanding, and patience,” said PPS Human Services Director Micki Crisafulli. “They make sure everyone is cared for and informed. They complete contact tracing at all times, including instances when they work nights and weekends. Our entire community is healthier and safer as a result of their dedication.” The team of PPS nurses includes Magarida Cruz and Gail Cipolloni at Princeton High School, Kathleen Bihuniak at Princeton Middle School, Liz Dyevich at Johnson Park, Sarah GooenChen at Riverside, Holly Javick at Littlebrook, and Vera Maynard at Community Park. I n a n emai l excha nge earlier this week, Dyevich, “Nurse Liz,” discussed the world of school nursing and how that world has been transformed since the pandemic arrived in early 2020. “Over the past two years my job has changed drastically,” she said. “The only constant has been the amazing students and their love for being in school with friends and teachers. I have added the extra responsibilities of contact tracing, keeping up on all the COVID guidelines and policies, and being a part of the school district’s COVID committee.” She continued, “I had to learn how to do virtual healt h les s ons, mon itor close contacts and quarantines, and navigate helping students with the mental and physical effects of COVID.” Dyevich arrives at Johnson Park (JP) at about 7:45 a.m. each day. She administers morning medications

and checks up on sick students from prior days. Primarily in her office, each day she cares for about 3040 students, who come in for many different reasons. She tries to eat lunch at 1 p.m., but often gets backed up with “recess injuries” and postpones lunch until 2 p.m. or later. “My day ends with bus dismissal and making sure every student is safely picked up or on the bus,” she said. Dyevich talked about the impact of the pandemic on mental health and the value of in-person learning for PPS students and staff this year. “Being in a virtual learning environment is very difficult for students and takes away the social connections, friendships, and relationships that students rely on,” she wrote. “School is so much more than academic learning, and unfortunately being virtual takes some of this away. I love being able to have the kids back in school with each other.” JP Principal Angela Siso Stentz elaborated on a few of the details of Dyevich’s work day. “Nurse Liz is an exceptional school nurse who has worked 24/7 to care for JP’s students and families as we continue to navigate through this pandemic,” said Stentz. “She is always available to respond to an emergency, to provide guidance on so many fluctuating circumstances, and to spread her love to all of us.” Stentz went on, “Nurse Liz monitors CrisisGo, reaches out to students, staff, and parents when they are presenting symptoms, and provides up-to-date guidance on next steps. Nurse Liz coordinates with the Princeton Health Department and provides updates to JP and the community-at-large. Nurse Liz has devoted so much of her time after hours to respond to emergencies and to volunteer at vaccination clinics and with contact tracing. She is an integral part of the school nurse team at PPS as she continues to keep us all calm during this pandemic.” Dyevich has been focused on a career in nursing since the early age of 6, when her mother became sick with cancer. “I experienced the field of medicine firsthand and saw how much of an

impact caring nurses and doctors can make,” she said. “I saw the ups and downs of a tragic illness and ultimately experienced the death of my mother when I was only 15. In her honor, from then, I wanted to become a nurse and make the lives of others better.” Dyevich lives in Princeton with her husband and four children, who all went through PPS. Her two sons and her older daughter recently graduated from college, and her younger daughter is currently a college junior. A registered and schoolcer tified nurse, D yev ich served in various hospitals for 25 years, working in different departments including open heart surgery and surgical units. “I have always been passionate about helping others and knew that nursing was a profession where I could always be giving back to my community and making a difference,” she said. When her children went to school she wanted to have a schedule that aligned more with theirs in order to spend more time with them. She got her start in school nursing by going on field trips as a nurse. Fifteen years ago when a job opened up at PPS, “I could not turn down the opportunity and have never looked back,” she said. The best part of the job for Dyevich is her interactions with the students. “They are truly one of a kind and make me smile every day,” she said. “I love getting to form relationships with all the students and getting to know them and see them grow through elementary school. The positivity and excitement that the kids bring to school every day is contagious. Beyond their years at Johnson Park, it brings me so much joy to stay in touch and get to see them grow into young adults as they go on to middle and high school.” And those relationships extend far beyond the walls of Johnson Park. “An amazing part of my job is living in Princeton and being able to interact with all of my students outside of school in everyday life. On countless occasions I have been walking on Nassau Street or in my neighborhood with my dog and I hear, ‘Nurse Liz!’ I love seeing students out to eat, grocery shopping, or hanging out with friends. So much of my job is made better by the amazing relationships I have built.” yevich’s colleagues a n d s t u d e nt s m ay have benefited even more from the relationship than Dyevich has. As the schools continue to contend with the pandemic, Stentz expressed her appreciation. “JP is super-lucky to have Nurse Liz leading the way!” she wrote. “On behalf of the entire JP community, I want to send my extra-large thank you to Nurse Liz. She has been my right-hand superhero, and I wouldn’t want to share that responsibility with anyone else. Thank you, Nurse Liz!” —Donald Gilpin

19- to 29-year-old population, who we are continuing to work with. We understand there is vaccine breakthrough, particularly with those having waning immunity, which does explain the increase in COVID cases driven by D elta in late summer, early fall.” He declined to offer any predictions on the future trajectory of the spread. “The most recent surge is not similar to that early fall increase and is likely caused by co-occurring variant infections,” he said. “We need to find out more information about whether or not this is due to the more contagious nature of Omicron, and where that will land us in the coming weeks.” In the December 20 municipal newsletter the Princeton Health Department pointed out, “We have the right tools to fight Omicron,” emphasizing, “vaccines remain the best public health measure to protect people from COVID-19, slow transmission, and reduce the likelihood of new variants emerging.” T h e n e ws le t te r ad d e d that COV ID -19 vaccines are highly effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalizations, and death and that scientists are currently investigating Omicron,

including its effects on fully vaccinated people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends vaccinations for everyone 5 years and older, and boosters six months after vaccinations for everyone 16 and older. The Princeton Health Department will be hosting COVID-19 vaccine clinics at the Princeton Senior Resource Center, 45 Stockton Street, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Thursdays, January 6 and 20, and February 3 and 17, and at La Mexicana, 150 Witherspoon Street, 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, January 27. Mercer Count y COV ID clinics, in partnership with Capital Health and Penn Medicine Princeton Health, will take place at the CURE Insurance Arena, Gate A, South Broad Street Entrance, in Trenton on Monday, December 27, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Tuesday, December 28, 12 noon to 6 p.m., as well as a pediatric-focused clinic on Thursday, December 30, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mercer County will also host clinics in a heated tent next to the Trenton Farmers Market on Wednesday, December 29, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and at the Mercer County Park Skating Center, Old Trenton Road, West Windsor on Thursday, January 6, 4 to 6 p.m.

Princeton University will continue to host Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccination clinics in Jadwin Gym through January. Pfizer clinics will be held on Wednesdays, January 5, noon to 6 p.m. and January 12 and 19, noon to 4 p.m. Moderna clinics will take place on Thursdays, January 13 and 20, noon to 4 p.m. Appointments for all clinics are recommended but not required and can be scheduled through the NJ Vaccine Scheduling System, at covid19.nj.gov or call (855) 568-0545. Grosser commented on the widespread disappointment people are feeling in the face of yet another virus surge and the looming prospects of another COVID winter. “I keep hearing people say they didn’t think a year could get any worse after 2020,” he said. “Many residents have expressed concern that they expected this holiday season would be brighter, since they were vaccinated and able to be around loved ones with a better feeling of health security. Many of these residents skipped holiday gatherings last year and are contemplating doing that again.” He continued, “We should continue to do our best to think about how much more we know now than we did last year. We are also a year into vaccinations that have undoubtedly decreased hospitalizations and deaths from COVID. The challenges our community has faced through the pandemic have been extremely difficult. My hope is that these difficult times continue to strengthen the relationships between our community groups and residents.” —Donald Gilpin

inadequate. The administration’s response says the chapel “can accommodate 230 singers in rehearsal, similar to the capacity of the Playhouse and Hillman Hall on the Princeton campus. However, COVID protocols required a change to all seating arrangements. When we are able to safely return to unrestricted seating, Gill Chapel will easily accommodate the Symphonic Choir, which enrolls approximately 80 students at this time.” As for acoustics, Rider administration responded that they have installed a single “cloud panel,” and “will determine if additional treatment is needed.” Also weighing in is Rider’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), which issued a press release last week supporting the petition. “The students have legitimate complaints, complaints that could all be addressed by simply reopening the Princeton campus,” the release reads, adding that Rider’s inability to sell the Westminster campus in Princeton has resulted in enrollment “now a quarter of its previous size. This re duce d enrollment has stripped over $13 million dollars from Rider University’s annual revenues and the university has accumulated over $20 million in additional debt building new facilities in Lawrenceville while the Princeton campus sits empty.” Joel Phillips, professor of music of composition and music theory at Rider and assistant grievance officer of the AAUP chapter, said this week that the A AUP suppor ts the mission of the institution, “which is to

educate the students. And our most renowned program was Westminster. The administration has done everything within its power to destroy it in order to monetize the assets. So, in moving it to Lawrenceville, they claim they’re improving efficiency. But what that means is eliminating our campus and monetizing it. That’s what they still hope to do. The campus in Lawrenceville is perfectly suitable for other programs, but it’s entirely unsuitable for a program like Westminster.” Barbara Frantz, professor of political science at Rider and the president of the AAUP chapter, said that support for the students is not limited to members of the AAUP. “We did an online poll, and we have about 50 faculty members who have indicated their support, so its not just AAUP,” she said. “We agree with the students. It enriches our campus to have them. But it is clear that the facilities here are not up to the standards they require. The space is not big enough. And if the students are not happy, they will not come back. It’s a slow killing of the program.” In their response to the petition, Rider administration said that the Princeton campus is still available for certain uses. But the move of Westminster to the Rider campus “has provided many opportunities for improved experiences for students, faculty, and staff,” the response reads. “Issues with mold, flooding, and outdated or non-existent technology on the Princeton campus were a daily challenge. We believe the technology and space on the Lawrenceville campus exceeds the conditions that existed in many of the Princeton campus facilities.”

Graduate student DebbieAnn Francis, co-author of the petition, said “No good can come from the loss of any academic institution, especially when mismanagement can be stopped and corrected. Unfortunately, this seems to be the direction that the Rider senior administration is willing to follow. Their failures as an administration must be addressed and corrected as soon as possible, or Westminster and Rider will be lost. This cannot happen.” —Anne Levin

At the December 13 presentation, local business ow ners includ ing K at hy Klockenbrink of Jammin’ Crepes and Jack Morrison of the JM Group of restaurants, both of whom are on the steering committee, spoke in favor of the concept. Towns including Montclair, Red Bank, and South Orange have successful SIDs, “a consistent and stable funding source to address agreed upon goals,” said Klockenbrink. Morrison said the idea is especially relevant considering the effects of the pandemic. “Over the last 22 months the community has witnessed firsthand the importance of an organization that supports local business, nonprofits, and institutions, while nurturing alliances with our town on shared initiatives,” he said.

Morrison recently stepped down as president of the Princeton Merchants Association (PMA), which is now headed by Andrew Siegel, CEO of Hamilton Jewelers. Asked how establishment of a SID would affect the PMA, Siegel said in an email that the idea is being closely followed by the PMA board. “Our goal as merchant volunteers at the PMA is and always has been to provide programming, services, and representation to our fellow merchants, and we believe these will remain in demand and must remain a top priority in the future,” said Siegel. “We want to assure the merchant community that we are poised to continue being a trusted resource as the determination of a SID is deliberated. If a SID does form, we know that there will be some time between its legal formation and its actual functioning as an

organization, so we fully expect to continue working for the merchant community during a transition phase. Also, after a potential SID begins functioning, the need for merchant-specific programming will remain, so we expect that our amazing PMA volunteers would continue to provide those resources within the SID. Our local merchants are the lifeblood of our town, and the PMA is committed to ensuring that popular programs and resources for merchants, by merchants, will continue as our town forges forward.” Some local business representatives at the December 13 meeting said they were not aware of the plans for a possible SID. The steering committee issued a press release a few days after the meeting, clarifying the idea. Helena May, who owns the former Packet building at

300 Witherspoon Street, was quoted as recommending a SID to “establish an economically sustainable and vibrant Princeton, including in the Witherspoon-Jackson community, the gateway of Princeton. The formation of the SID will serve the entire business community, so we can better serve our key constituents: our residents and our guests.” Aubrey Haines, managing partner of Princeton Property Partners, said, “COVID has been devastating to many businesses in Princeton. Many local shopkeepers watched helplessly as their economic viability evaporated almost overnight. There are now more vacant stores in Princeton than there has been in decades. We view the SID budget as an investment in our community. The SID funds will be used to make the town look better, function more efficiently

and, working with Council, we will be able to create an environment where people will really enjoy the time they spend in Princeton and businesses will thrive.” The steering committee representatives also said that if Princeton had a SID, it would have access to grants that were not available to it during the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. “Grant access for emergency support as well as long-term development, improvements, and community outreach is just another example of how the town could benefit from having a SID,” the release reads. Some local business owners are taking a wait-andsee attitude to the possibility of a SID. Dorothea von Moltke, co-owner of Labyrinth Books, wrote in an email, “Princeton merchants have long been looking for a way to have someone work

full-time to advocate for them and keep them all well informed as well as connected with each other and with the municipality. I very much hope that the SID can be the answer to this. Whether or not it becomes a meaningful answer, will depend on making sure the SID does not see itself largely as filling a marketing function, but rather takes as its mandate to help make progress on thorny issues such as parking, the prospect of several simultaneous construction sites in town over the next several years, and more. I am perplexed at the regulation that requires the composition of the board of the SID to be majoritarian property owners and am not sure about what that will mean for the representation of the concerns of the merchants themselves. In short: I am cautiously optimistic.” —Anne Levin

Mailbox Arguing That Princeton Cannabis Task Force Ignores Children’s Future

To the Editor: Future generations will be left to solve the most complex and existential challenges young generations have ever faced. We will be leaving the burden of solving for climate change, biodiversity loss, and pandemics to our children. Young people will need to harness a tremendous amount of intellectual energy and sheer collective will to solve these profound threats if they are to survive. What messages are we sending young people when they see adults prioritizing easy access to marijuana only steps away from their schools? From children’s perspective, watching leaders of their community vigorously pushing to have cannabis dispensaries must lead them to believe that enabling people to get high is our top priority. Given the tremendous weight young people have on their shoulders, shouldn’t we be directing their gaze to higher aims? It is insidious that the Cannabis Task Force (CTF), along with its Council liaisons, is emphasizing retail access to drugs as a social justice initiative. Paterson, New Jersey, is deeply committed to social justice and its leaders have rejected retail cannabis dispensaries. “Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right,” said Kenneth L. Simmons, the president of the school board in Paterson, who opposes a proposal to permit cannabis start-ups in a city where one in four people lives in poverty. “A revenue stream for City Hall,” he added, “is not prosperity, especially when it brings another possible pitfall closer to our youth.” Even more glaring, the CTF includes a cannabis industry lobbyist whose mission is to maximize profit for the cannabis industry. The CTF’s proposed 200-foot proximity from schools introduces high risk of attracting young buyers. Yes, I realize customers have to be 21, but let’s get real. Product has a way of insinuating itself into young people’s hands. Will the town tolerate exploiting young people for commercial gains? If Princeton leaders are so committed to social justice, why not invest in jobs programs, career training, after-school enrichment, internships, and racial literacy programs? Does the CTF really think more drug use will have a positive impact on social justice? Young people will not be able to anesthetize themselves from the harsh realities of the 21st century, and CTF is doing them a huge disservice by emphasizing access to a drug that is known to create apathy, lethargy, and a lack of motivation. This is supported by many studies including the National Institute of Health’s report citing “studies reveal significant associations between cannabis use and a range of measures of educational performance including lower grade point average, less satisfaction with school, negative attitudes to school, increased rates of school absenteeism, and poor school performance.” Teaching kids they should have easy access to cannabis so they can anesthetize their way through life does not prepare them for the future. Conversely, teaching kids that solving 21st-century challenges will require stone-cold sobriety and laser-focused attention is our moral obligation. Tell Princeton’s Council you don’t support recreational retail cannabis (email addresses are at princetonnj.gov). SHEILA MCLAUGHLIN Walnut Lane

Urging Princetonians to Support Upcoming PPS Facilities Referendum

To the Editor: I urge you to join me in voting “yes” on Princeton Public Schools’ Facilities Referendum. The special election will take place on January 25, 2022. If passed, the referendum provides our community with a smart, timely, and cost-effective blueprint: these 20-year bonds would fund the replacement of older, out-of-date roofs in every one of our six school buildings; ensure that the new roofs are able to sustain future solar panels; and

replace siding and other critical maintenance needs. All of these needs have been publicly identified and listed on the district’s website. The timing is right — thanks to our district’s AAA bond rating, the interest rate for these longer-term bonds currently are and should remain at near-historic lows. Moreover, if we approve this referendum, the state of New Jersey would provide grants for up to 34 percent of the amount of principal and interest. Because of the timing of the proposed new bonds being issued as older debt is retired, the annual cost to Princeton residents for capital debt will go down, even with this new $17.5 million referendum. And these new costs will be spread across 20 years, as it is only fair for Princeton families who move here in the future to also contribute to the upkeep of our schools. Our students, teachers, and staff must be able to learn in a safe environment. This referendum is a timely, costeffective means of doing so. If you have received your ballot in the mail, please mail it back as soon as you can or return it to one of the two secure drop-boxes in Princeton, outside of the Municipal Building or on the circle near the Dinky Wawa. If you plan on voting in person, please note that the polls will be open between 1:30 and 8 p.m. on Tuesday, January 25, 2022. Let us vote to continue to support our students, teachers, and staff while strengthening some of the jewels of our community — our public schools. GREGORY STANKIEWICZ Jefferson Road

College. Even more surface parking spaces appear to be forthcoming, in view of the December 8, 2021 article in Town Topics [Permit Parking Task Force Revising Recommendations in Response to Feedback,” page 1], quoting Councilmember Michelle Pirone Lambros as saying, “We hope to be adding other lots soon and plan to expand our transit options to convey employees and residents to many desired destinations around town.” With the town’s effort to secure off-street surface parking spaces already in motion, we ask that this effort be exhausted and ensure that further spaces are not actually needed before opening up street parking. Should street parking be allowed, we are deeply concerned about safety to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians alike, particularly in view of our proximity to the University’s nearby construction (current and planned). The current construction has closed nearby streets and restricted traffic flow through others, leading to increased traffic through Murray Place and Princeton Avenue. The planned construction of the University’s new School of Engineering and Applied Sciences will further exacerbate this matter. There is no need to prematurely cause increased traffic hazards, particularly if enough off-street parking spaces can be secured. Thus, we stand with our more vocal neighbors in advocating for a change to the PPTF’s proposal to eliminate street parking for business employees in our neighborhood, particularly when there is already an on going effort to acquire off-street parking.

Thoughts On Shakespeare’s “Pervasive Presence” “Ah, Shakespeare, Shakespeare! ... The great maestro of the human heart!” —Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) erdi is so quoted in Saturday’s New York Times under the banner headline “’Hail, Shakespeare’ Resonates Across Italy,” for an article on the opera house opening nights of Macbeth, Falstaff, Othello, and Julius Caesar in Milan, Florence, Naples, and Rome. Above the headline is a lurid panoramic backdrop from David Livermore’s production of Verdi’s Macbeth at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan. Shown in the foreground, a scattered crowd of people in modern dress appear to be waiting for something to happen, like a chorus of citizens anticipating a cue, seemingly unaware of the fantastical urban inferno looming behind them. It’s as if the set designer is trying to visually evoke Harold Bloom’s vision of Macbeth’s “power of contamination.” In the opening chapter of his book Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Bloom refers to Shakespeare’s “pervasive presence in the most unlikely contexts: here, there, and everywhere at once. He is a system of northern lights, an aurora borealis visible where most of us will never go. Libraries and playhouses (and cinemas) cannot contain him; he has become a spirit or ‘spell of light,’ almost too vast to comprehend.” Comic Relief Shakespeare shows up again in Sunday’s Arts and Leisure section in the form of an immense, darkly foreboding two-page ad for The Tragedy of Macbeth, “written for the screen and directed by Joel Coen.” Looking to keep things cheerful with Christmas only three days away, I went right to the knocking at the gate in Act Two and the Porter’s moment in the spotlight, which Bloom notes as “the first and only comedy allowed in this drama.” Here Shakespeare introduces “a healing touch of nature where Macbeth has intimidated us with the preternatural, and with the Macbeths’ mutual phantasmagoria of murder and power.” The Porter arrives on the scene, “cheerfully hungover” (as Bloom puts it) while the audience is still reeling from the murder of Duncan; the stage is all his as he and the invisible knocker at the gate play out a duet of sorts. For each barrage of knocking, the Porter has a different riff: the knocker might be a farmer who “hanged himself in expectation of plenty”; or an equivocator who “committed treason enough for God’s sake, yet could

not equivocate to heaven”; or maybe it’s an English tailor “come hither, for stealing out of a French hose: come in, tailor; here you may roast your goose.” And when Macduff finally enters demanding to know what took so long, the Porter tells him “we were carousing ... and drink, sir, is a great provoker of three things.” When Macduff, in classic straight man style, asks what three things, the Porter says: “Marry, sir, nosepainting, sleep, and urine. Lechery, sir, it provokes, and unprovokes; it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance: therefore, much drink may be said to be an equivocator with lechery: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on, and it takes him off; it persuades him, and disheartens him; makes him s t a n d to, a n d n o t s t a n d to ; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and, giving him the lie, leaves him.” Plague to Plague In New York, Christmas week 2021, theaters are canceling performances as ac tor s a n d crew members test positive for the virus.

Traces of plague imagery show up in both plays, the best-known being “Fair is foul and foul is fair, / Hover through the fog and filthy air,” the mantra chanted by the witches in Macbeth’s opening scene and echoed throughout the play. In Lear, the mad king howls, “Now all the plagues that in the pendulous air / Hang fated o’er men’s faults light on thy daughters!” H i n t s o f S h a k e s p e a r e’s “p e r v a sive presence” can be found in HBO’s

Succession, which impressed on-again, off-again viewers like myself with a brilliant Season 3 finale last week. While there’s nothing in the series comparable to King Lear’s rhetorical/poetical energy, the characters and dialogue are enlivened by colorfully profane invective, with Brian Cox’s modern day Lear, Logan Roy, delivering the mightiest curses, most frequently in the form of f-off (or eff-off ) bombs in a world where the show’s fword flies fast and free. Sites have been devoted to documenting the f-word and its derivatives, as in uproxx.com’s “comprehensive breakdown of “Every ‘F*3k Off’ “ in Season One. Shakespeare in Chicago Unlike Suc ce ssion, Sta tion Eleven, a post-apocalyptic miniseries on HBO Max based on Emily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel of the same name, brings you in and keeps you watching from the first moment, which takes place in a large Chicago theater dur ing a production of King L e ar. The scene in progress is the one in which Lear enters “fantastically dressed with flowers.” When the blind Duke o f G l o u c e s te r recognizes his voice ( “Is’t not the king? ”), Lear replies, “Ay, ever y inch a king. When I do stare, see how the subject quakes.” But all the quaking is being done by Arthur Leander (Gael García Bernal), the actor playing Lear. The one person in the theatre who knows what’s going on hurries to the stage as Leander collapses and apparently dies. Only Jeevan (Himesh Patel), the man who rushed the stage, seems to be aware of the onset of the plague that soon do away with all but a fraction of humanity.

Raymonde (Matilda Lawler), an 8-yearold actress who is presumably playing one of Lear’s daughters as a child (although no such part exists in the play), Jeevan takes it upon himself to find her parents or her handler or, if need be, to see her safely home. Visual Poetry The scenes in which the big darkbearded, bundled-up man and the gaily, brightly bundled-up little girl make their way through a wintry Chicago night are at once charming and compelling, thanks to the visual poetry created by so unlikely a couple. Perhaps because my search for the spirit of the season has me thinking in extremes, such as Shakespeare’s “aurora borealis” or “spell of light,” I’m inclined to see the child — in her blue, orange, vermillion winter jacket, her matching even more colorful scarf, and especially her magnificent knit cap, with the multicolored tassel coat on top — as a fairy tale Christmas tree ornament come to life. But what strikes me more than anything else is her bearing, the way she seems to perceive the world as she walks around the big city with an imposing stranger, just the sort that she’s been told by her parents to avoid; and after she tells him as much, she sizes him up as if he were applying for a part in her play. When he formally introduces himself, she looks at him, pointedly, intelligently taking him in, no “cute little girl” mannerisms. She’s at home in the world, like Rosalind and Portia and other heroines imagined to life by the “great maestro of the human heart.” homas DeQuincey ends his essay, “On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth”: “O, mighty poet! Thy works are not as those of other men, simply and merely great works of art; but are also like the phenomena of nature, like the sun and the sea, the stars and the flowers, — like frost and snow, rain and dew, hail-storm and thunder, which are to be studied with entire submission of our own faculties, and in the perfect faith that in them there can be no too much or too little, nothing useless or inert — but that, the further we press in our discoveries, the more we shall see proofs of design and self-supporting arrangement where the careless eye had seen nothing but accident!” —Stuart Mitchner

to the instrumental sound, maintaining a delicate dialog and precise dynamic swells with violinist Sean Lee. Bach used brass infrequently in these concertos, but one of the most popular of the six is No. 2 in F Major, featuring a piccolo trumpet as soloist, as well as baroque oboe, flute, and violin. Trumpeter David Washburn kept the trumpet part crisp and light in the outer movements of this work and was effectively paired with baroque oboe player James Austin Smith. Arnaud Sussmann was lead violinist and led the ensemble particularly well in the long melodic lines of the second movement “andante.” In addition to clean playing among the soloists, the third movement featured an elegant duet between trumpeter Washburn and cellist Timothy Eddy. Bach’s most unusual orchestration in this set of instrumental works could be heard in Concerto No. 3 in G Major, which was scored for trios of violins, violas, and cellos. Led by violinist Sean Lee, the musicians passed motives among the groups of instruments, and the players demonstrated why the evening’s performance was one of precision. The third movement “allegro” was particularly spirited, with all musicians having the chance to execute quick thematic material. The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center ended the concert not with the final concerto as Bach compiled the set, but with the fourth concerto of the series, with the high-range instruments of two flutes and one violin as soloists. The smallest ensemble of the evening, the three soloists and six accompanying strings and harpsichord created a seamless instrumental palette in Concerto No. 4 in G Major. Thirds were flawless between the two flutes, with solo violinist Alexander Sitkovetsky blending perfectly into the wind timbre. The music of Bach’s era was often built on sequences and repetition, but the musicians of the Chamber Music Society were able to find musical expression within all the challenging technical requirements. ach’s six Brandenburg Concertos may have been a compositional résumé to the court of Margrave, but the virtuosity and joyous character of these “Six concerts avec plusieurs instruments,” as Bach originally called them, have endeared these works to audiences for three hundred years. The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s welcome return to McCarter Theatre further solidified the concertos as a sign of the holiday season in Princeton. —Nancy Plum

NEW HOME: Interior rendering of a Pavilion Gallery in the new Princeton University Art Museum designed by Adjaye Associates. Construction of the new building is expected to be completed in early 2024. (Rendering courtesy of Adjaye Associates)

Construction Begins on New surroundings, as well as inquir y and to marr ying signature bronze details scholarly excellence with Home for PU Art Museum

Construction has begun on the new Princeton Universit y A r t Museum, an entirely new building on the site of the former Museum, at the heart of the Princeton campus. Roughly doubling the square footage of the existing facility, the 144,000-square-foot facility significantly increases spaces for display, learning, and visitor amenities. The Museum, which will occupy three stories, will insert itself into campus life with key pedestrian pathways flowing into and through the building via two “art walks” — thoroughfares that function as the new building’s circulatory spine. A grid of nine pavilions breaks down the scale of the complex into more intimate modules and allows for deeply varied gallery experiences. The building’s exterior will be characterized by rough and polished stone surfaces responding to the campus

throughout, alternating solid elements with more transparent features that speak both to the present moment and to the historical Princeton context. The architect Sir David Adjaye, whose firm, Adjaye Associates, is best known for its design of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, was selected as the project architect in 2018. Cooper Robertson is the executive architect. With expansive and growing collections of more than 112,000 globespanning works of art from a nt i q u it y to to d ay, t h e Princeton Universit y Ar t Museum is a major center for the study of the humanities and the visual arts in the United States. T he new building underscores Princeton’s commitment to humanistic education and the Museum’s commitment both to object-based

T h e n e w faci l it y w i l l a ls o hou s e Princeton’s Department of Art and Archaeology and Marquand Library; together, the three units will continue to function as a leading site for research and teaching. The design overcomes multiple historical barriers to participation, making the visual arts an essential part of the University experience for all Princeton students and an accessible home of democratic engagement for community members and visitors. Contracts were awarded in June 2021, and over t h e s u m m e r d e m ol it i on began on the former Museum complex, most of which dated to periods of construction in the 1920s, 1960s and 1980s. “David Adjaye’s design for Princeton reflects our deep commitment to the values of openness, transparency, and interconnectedness for

our campus constituents, local communities and global au d ie n ce s,” s a id Ja m e s S te w a r d , t h e M u s e u m’s Nancy A. Nasher–David J. Haemisegger, Class of 1976, director. “It’s a remarkable opportunity both to build on the past and to shape a new museum at this particular historical moment, and in doing so to make clear the important role museums can continue to play in an ever more complex world.” With demolition expected to be complete this month, concrete foundations to be poured starting this month, and construction continuing into early 2024, the Museum has undertaken a number of strategies to maintain its scholarly and public impact during the years of disruption. It is operating two gallery spaces in downtown Princeton within walking distance of the campus : Art@Bainbridge and Art on Hulfish. Two outdoor exhibitions are also planned, beginning with the video work of the artist Doug Aitken. In addition, the Museum will be touring four exhibitions to museums across the United States and Mexico while construction is carried out. For more information, visit artmuseum.princeton.edu.

ACP, Miya Table & Home Present Daruma Project

With the new year ap proaching, the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) has partnered with Miya Table & Home to present a community project as a refresh, restart, and recommitment to goals, hopes, and dreams. The Daruma is a traditional symbol of perseverance, achievement, and good fortune — an iconic symbol found all over Japan in businesses, schools, and homes. The Daruma is most popular around the new year, made with two white circles for eyes. Once a goal is set or a wish is made, the owner

Led by local artist Minako Ota, attendees will decorate this symbol of perseverance, achievement, and good fortune in anticipation of the new year. colors in one eye. The other eye is colored in only after the goal is achieved or the wish comes true. On Tuesday, December 28, the community is invited to design their own during the Princeton Daruma Workshop from 1-2 p.m. During this workshop, local artist Minako Ota will lead attendees to gather ideas and offer encouragement to customize your Daruma any way you like — paint, decoupage, Sharpie, etc. Use your imagination as Minako shows you fun variations to consider and provides the materials to make it all come together. To celebrate this community effort, the completed Daruma will be on view in a collective display in downtown Princeton to kick off the new year. “We were so thrilled with the response to the Princeton Paper Crane Project that we exhibited at the Arts Council last year,” said

Miya Table & Home owner Heidi Moon, referring to the 2020 community project that prompted 18,000 paper cranes to be folded and donated to the installation by members of the public. “The only logical step was to follow it up with another meaningful project for all our friends and neighbors for the new year. Collaborating with the team at the Arts Council of Princeton and Minako Ota has been our idea of a ‘dream team’ and we are excited to bring another message of hope and renewal for 2022.” Registrants should arrive with a Daruma, available for purchase at Miya Table & Home at 27 Palmer Square West. Artist instruction and all additional materials are provided; $10. For more information and to register, visit artscouncilofprinceton. org. Children under the age of 7 should register with an adult.

Paul J. Stellato Stellato to Retire After 15 Years as PDS Head

Paul J. Stellato, Princeton Day School (PDS) head since 2008, will be stepping down in June 2023, at the end of the next school year. Under Stellato’s leadership, the school has seen its enrollment, numbers of applicants, selectivity, and endowment rise to historic highs, according to a PDS press release. Need-based financial assistance has more than doubled and its endowment has tripled to nearly $93 million, the school reported. “ P a u l ’s l e a d e r s h i p o f Princeton Day School has been inspiring,” said Board Chair Rebecca Bushnell, a 1970 PDS graduate and former dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences. “With a deep appreciation and love of our school, Paul has proved to be a visionary educator, expanding cross-divisional programs and leadership opportunities.” Stellato reflected on his years at PDS. “Given the opportunity to lead one of our nation’s truly great independent day schools, I have spent these many years among the most talented, generous students, faculty and staff, trustees, parents, and friends of our school, and enjoyed a rich, full experience,” he said. “As with our graduates, I go into the world filled with optimism and hope.”

Jon Brougham Jon Brougham Retiring As Hun Head of School

Hun School Head Jon Brougham has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2022-23 academic year after 37 years in education and 14 years as Head of School at Hun. Known for “his self-effacing manner and his transformational impact on the school” according to a Hun press release, Brougham undertook a number of successful projects during his tenure. “Under Mr. Brougham’s leadership, we built the Wilf Family Global Commons and reconstructed the Hun Middle School, Breen Performing Arts Center, and DAYLO STEM Center,” said Hun Board Chair Steve Wills. “We embraced a student-centered classroom, launched a Global Immersion Program, the John Gale Hun Civics Program, and NextTerm. We saw demand for admission soar, and our endowment more than doubled.” Expressing gratitude for h is exp er ience at Hu n, Brougham recalled, “Like many of you, I felt something special about Hun in my very first visit to campus almost 13 years ago — its kindness, its joyfulness, and its unique combination of winning modesty and impressive achievement. Those qualities continue to inspire me every day, just as they have inspired countless others in the past 108 years. They are in Hun’s DNA, and I am sure they will continue to animate our campus many generations from now.” Hun Interdisciplinary Department Chair Patricia Garrison noted some of the qualities that make Brougham a successful leader. “I have been so grateful for Jon’s leadership these past years,” she said. “It seems to be that the same characteristics that make him such a fine man — genuine kindness, understanding, intelligence, and compassion, along with a great sense of humor — have also made him an exceptional head of school. Over the years, Jon has created and nurtured the kind of vibrant and joyful school community of which I have been and will continue to be so very proud to be a part.”

Winning 125-Pound Title at Cliff Keen Invitational, PU Wrestler Glory On Track for Goal of NCAA Crown

atrick Glory felt like an underdog when he arrived at Princeton University in 2018 out of the Delbarton School, but quickly established himself as one of the best in the nation in his first two seasons with the Tigers. A year off due to the COVID-19 pandemic did nothing to interrupt his status. The start of his junior season has Glory on track to be the very best. “Going into this year, I know what it takes and what needs to happen for me to win a national championship,” said Glory. “With two years to go, I think the sky’s the limit with what can be accomplished, not only for myself but for the team.” Glory ended the fall semester by winning the 125-pound title at the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas on December 4. Glory scored a 13-0 major decision over Devin Schroder of Purdue in the final to close a dominant run. “It’s still early in the season,” said Glory. “It was a good test to see where I’m at with some of the better guys in the weight class. At the end of the day, there’s one tournament that I really care about and that really matters. That one’s at the end of March.” The competition that Glory has his sights on is the NCAA Championships in Detroit, Mich. from March 17-19. His anticipation has been magnified because the NCAAs were canceled by the COVID-19 pandemic in the 2019-20 season just before nationals began. Then the Ivy League canceled the 2020-21 season as well. “It was tough to know there were people competing and we were kind of sitting there watching the whole time,” said Glory. “People were forgetting about us and that excitement and kind of aura we built winning the Ivy title for the first time in 40 years. And having six or seven guys make it to the NCAA tournament, there’s a lot of mojo that goes into that and you kind of ride that.” As Princeton has returned to the mat for the 2021-22 campaign, Glory has picked up where he left off. He has proven himself with early wins over top-10 foes and sits ranked second in the latest InterMat Division 1 rankings. “Freshman and sophomore year, I was kind of always the underdog,” said Glory. “I was right there but couldn’t beat these older guys. I was a little immature, maybe more freshman year than sophomore year. I think sophomore year I was ready to go going into that (NCAA) tournament. I think I was as mature as anybody in that field. But you build off that. Now I’m two more years mature than I was my sophomore year.” Princeton is trying to rekindle its team excitement, and the start to the season

has helped. The Tigers didn’t even have their full team at their disposal when they placed ninth out of 26 teams at Cliff Keen. Several of Princeton’s wrestlers are scheduled to return from gap years for the spring semester, and the program is hoping the University gives permission for them to participate in the 58th Annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships at Hoffman Estates, Ill. from December 29-30. The Tigers are looking forward to having their team together. “The momentum and the team culture we had before COVID was the best we’ve ever had,” said Glory. “So going from that into a year, a half without even being around your teammates, being at home, it was hard. It was something that I don’t wish on my worst enemy.” Princeton will be even stronger when their full roster returns, but has shown promise already. The Tigers had a pair of champions at the Southeast Open on November 7 in Salem, Va., and then saw bright spots even in a 32-12 loss to No. 1 Iowa on November 19 in their first dual match of the season. Junior star Quincy Monday and sophomore Jack DelGarbino picked up wins over top-10 ranked Iowa foes. A showdown between Glory and the nation’s top-ranked 125-pounder from Iowa, Spencer Lee, did not materialize. At Cliff Keen, Glory won gold, Monday was second at 157, freshman Luke Stout was impressive in fifth at 197, and junior Travis Stefanik placed sixth at 184 pounds. “I was really pleased with both Iowa and this tournament,” said Princeton head coach Chris Ayres. “For the most part I was pleased with the fight in the guys. They’re going out there and trying to compete at a high level. That standard has been set by the Glory’s and the Monday’s and the Stefanik’s. They know what good wrestling looks like, and they tried to really put that out there.” Princeton will improve when its full roster returns. Matt Cover is one such Princeton wrestler who is expected back. On the same day that the active Princeton wrestlers were wrapping up at Cliff Keen, he won all three of his bouts, including a 10-0 victory over Mexico’s Luis Rodrigo Orozco Cortez in the final to capture the 125-kilogram gold medal in the Junior Pan Am Games. Cover is expected to bolster the Tigers’ heavyweights, something that hasn’t always been a strength. “I think we can win the EIWAs (Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association championship) this year,” said Ayres. “The only way to do that is to have a really balanced lineup. Heavyweight is a huge part of that and Cover has done a good job.” The Tigers will get to mold more completely its lineup after Midlands with a match at Rider on January

8 before welcoming top-five ranked North Carolina State on January 9. Glory is deciding if he will wrestle at Midlands, one of his favorite events, while weighing it with the season still being early. While Princeton wrestling was officially off for more than a year, the athletes continued to train on their own at the nearby wrestling center while some of them worked jobs or took classes. “It’s a testament to how tough and relentless the guys on our team really are,” said Glory. “We got into freestyle mode because that was the only thing we had left. We only competed in two or three tournaments and competitions throughout that time, but we were still training every day. It wasn’t like we were slacking off or anything. It was a little bit of a different training plan, a little less rigorous, a little less of a grind than a normal college season would be, but we stayed sharp and tried to improve and get better little by little however you can.” As for Glory, he competed internationally at the U23 World Championships at the start of November in freestyle before resuming folkstyle wrestling when the Princeton season began. He wants to pace himself for the long-term goal. “College wrestling is like no other type of wrestling in that it’s a grind,” said Glory. “Preparing for that mentally, physically and emotionally is really important. That was for me the separator. This was kind of the beginning in the sense that it was the beginning of the preparation for the rest of the season and rest of the grind that we’re going to have.” Glory is looking to use the season to work himself into position to win a national title. He placed sixth at nationals in his freshman year and was seeded second for the 2020 NCAAs when COVID-19 hit. “He figured out really quickly that he belonged in the upper level,” said Ayres. “ T h a t f r e s h m a n y e a r, you’re trying to figure it out – can I beat these guys? Now he pushed himself to that next level where he’s dominating. Early in the Cliff Keen tournament, he was a little upset. There were some close matches. But he finished really strong against a really good guy. He pretty much dominated that finals match, which was pretty exciting. He’s looking to put a stamp on that style. Winning’s not just good enough. He’s pushed himself to new levels.” Glory’s example is one that the squad can use as Princeton is seeking to reach a higher level on the national scene. Winning the Ivy title in 2020 was a big step, and they are working to regain that team vibe as a starting point to this season’s high expectations. “Just being back on campus has changed that culture significantly,” said Glory.

BOUND FOR GLORY: Princeton University wrestler Patrick Glory ties up a foe from Lehigh in a 2019 bout. Earlier this month, junior star Glory won the 125-pound title at the prestigious Cliff Keen Invitational in Las Vegas. In upcoming action, the Princeton wrestlers are slated to compete in the 58th Annual Ken Kraft Midlands Championships at Hoffman Estates, Ill. from December 29-30. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “The underclassmen, for instance, they’re all going to the dining hall together every single day and they’re studying together and they’re in the same classes together. That camaraderie that comes with being a student-athlete here was kind of unavailable last year literally because not being on campus changed that a lot. There’s something to be said about locker room banter and the being in the lifting gym and doing team yoga. All the things that happen in a normal year connect you with your teammates. We just didn’t have that last year. Things definitely are bridging from last year.” Princeton has plenty

of tests scheduled in the months ahead before it gets to the EIWA and national championships. Taking on a pair of top-five teams early are challenges with the future goals in mind. “We do these things to prepare us for what do we have to do this season?” said Ayres. “I think we learned a ton in the Iowa dual and we learned a ton in the Cliff Keen. We know what we need to work on.” Glory is off to the start that he wanted. He’s getting back into college wrestling mode with big goals ahead for him and the Princeton wrestling team. “It’s just building off the stuff that we saw and going

back and watching tapes and learning and getting back in the wrestling room and building off this,” said Glory. “It’s just the beginning. It’s a good place to start, but still a lot of work to be done.” —Justin Feil

Emphasizing a Free Form Offensive Approach, PHS Boys’ Hoops Sees Versatility as Key Asset

Over the last two years, the offense for the Princeton High boys’ basketball team ran through point guard Tim Evidente and forward Ethan Guy. With the two stars having graduated, PHS will be adopting a more free form style this winter. “We are going to go to a position-less offense,” said Tiger head coach Pat Noone, who guided PHS to a 2-7 record last winter in a season abbreviated by COVID-19 concerns. “I think everybody is very interchangeable this year and versatile.” That approach resonated with the players as they went through the preseason. “It has been going good, the guys are really working hard,” said Noone, whose team was slated to open its season by playing at Hightstown last Friday but the game was canceled due to COVID issues within the Rams program. “They are having a good time and they are starting the click, jell and play better.” PHS, which is currently scheduled to play at Hightstown on December 23 and then compete in a holiday tournament at Livingston High on December 27 and 29, will be looking for a good season from senior standout Jaxon Petrone. “Jaxon will play a lot; he will be outside and inside for us,” said Noone of the versatile Petone, who starred at quarterback and defensive back for the PHS football team this fall and is a

pitcher/first baseman for the Tiger baseball squad. “He is a good defender, he can shoot, he is a good distributor, and he has good vision. He has a lot of intangibles.” Senior guard Connor McDowell brings experience and intangibles. “Connor looks good, he is one of the few guys, along with Jaxon, who knows the system pre-pandemic which is a lot different than last year,” said Noone. “We are trying to get back into it and we are relying on him to help out on how practice should really look, the structure of it and our defense.” The Tigers will be relying on some intense play this winter from senior John Reardon. “John is a hungry kid who loves the game,” said Noone. “He has been doing well at practice, he has a very quick step. He is a gym rat; he really enjoys being out there.” Junior Ryan G uy, t he younger brother of Ethan, and junior Chris Rinaldi have raised their game. “Ryan is very unique in his own skill set compared to Ethan,” said Noone. “They are two very good kids. Ethan had his own niche and Ryan has his niche. They both have very high

basketball IQ. Rinaldi brings a good shot. He is a good tempo guy at guard He is really picking up our defense pretty well.” A trio of new faces, sophomore Remmick Granozio, sophomore Jahan Owuse, and senior Will Doran, the leading scorer for the PHS boys’ lacrosse team last spring, are each finding a niche on the squad. “Remmick is a very good shooter, he is probably going to get some minutes,” said Noone. “Jahan is very athletic. I see them hopefully learning the system and being able to see time as we get through the season and they get comfortable with what is going on. Will is another key newcomer. He is looking very good. He has been a great addition. He brings great leadership and he is a great athlete.” In order to have a good season, PHS will need to hit the glass to trigger its up-tempo approach. “We definitely have to rebound better for sure, we need our shots to fall,” said Noone. “We have to play at a little quicker pace. We have been a little bit slower so far, we need to pick it up. We want to run and press, we have got pretty good depth so that will help us with those aspects.” —Bill Alden

Becoming a serous rower has helped Nora Devine get better on the basketball court for the Princeton High girls’ hoops team. “I rowed for the Mercer junior team in the fall and spring and I am actually doing both right now,” said Devine, who is headed to Syracuse University where she w ill compete for its Division I women’s rowing program. “I got in super good shape. I am just happy to be back and play, I wasn’t able to row all fall because I was hurt. It has translated to the court. My speed and agility and overall athleticism has improved.” L ast Fr iday evening, Devine displayed some of that athleticism, scoring a team-high 14 points in a losing cause as PHS fell 6037 to visiting Hightstown in the season opener for both teams. “I got some great passes inside and I took advantage when their taller girl was

out,” said Devine, reflecting on her performance. “It was definitely fun to play against someone that tall, I don’t think I have ever played against anyone that tall, so it was a good experience. That is what I am here for, being aggressive inside.” The season opener against the Rams proved to be a tough experience for the Tigers. They dug a 19-6 hole in the first quarter and then outscored Rams 11-9 in the second quarter to pull within 28-17 at halftime. PHS cut the deficit to 33-23 late in the third but the game got away from them after that as the Rams cruised to victory. “Coming into the game we felt we were mentally ready and physically we put a lot of the work in,” said Devine. “In the second quarter, we started moving together but then we took a couple of steps backwards. We definitely have it in us but mentally we have to get through it.” Having worked her way

up the ranks of the program, Devine is relishing the chance to serve as a team captain. “It has been fun to be a senior for sure, I have been on the team for four years,” said Devine. “It is a fun experience to be able to lead the team a little bit. I love being with the girls.” Devine has had fun sharing her hoops experience with her family as her older sister, Erin, a 2019 PHS alum, starred for the Tigers and her father has played a key role in improving her game. “I almost feel like I am in my sister’s shoes from four years ago,” said Devine. “I started playing as lot later than she did, I didn’t start playing until the seventh grade. I like to follow in the Devine footsteps, keeping No. 32 in the name. My dad loves to shoot with us in the driveway, I think that is his favorite hobby.” With PHS slated to host Hamilton West on December 21 before the holiday break and then returning to action by hosting WW/P-North on January 4, Devine believes the squad can get on the winning track. “The talent is there and we have the opportunity to be a really successful team this season,” said Devine. “It is just mentally getting into the game and being ready to dominate. We have a lot of good plays we can run so it is really j u s t exe c ut i ng. We have a lot of oppor t unit y t his season.” — Bill Alden

Picking Up Where They Left Off Last Winter, PHS Swimming Teams Off to a Sizzling Start After both the Princeton High boys’ and girls’ swimming teams went 12-0 last winter, the squads are picking up where they left off so far in the 2021-22 campaign. Featuring talent and depth throughout their lineups, the teams have gotten off to 5-0 starts, looking dominant in the process. “The biggest thing that is really cool for us is numbers, we have almost 30 or 35 on each team which is huge,” said PHS head coach Carly Misiewicz, who guides both squads. “Last year for the girls was maybe 20 or 21 and for the boys, it was 13. It was amazing that we were able to do what we did last year. I think that is why we are even more excited for this year.” Wit h increased dept h, Misiewicz is able to mix and match the talent at her disposal. “I can get more people in different races, we can swim different things,” said Misiewicz. “We have so much more flexibility this year. We don’t just have to specialize and say you are always swimming these two events. The beauty is that I am able to do this with both boys and girls. A lot of the people we have are very versatile. The other teams are never going to know what they are going to get. I have already done five totally different lineups this year.” The boys’ lineup features seniors Alex Shaw and Nicholas

Oskiper along with juniors Julian Velazquez and Daniel Baytin, sophomores Zach Guan, Henry Xu, and Alvin Tien, and a quartet of freshmen in David Brophy, Daniel Guo, David Xu, and Jaiden Xu. “We have a lot of talent in the pool with the boys,” said Misiewicz. “We have upcoming talent too with freshmen and sophomores.” The PHS boys overcame a big challenge as they topped West Windsor/PlainsboroNorth 94-76 on December 14 as Velazquez won the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly, David Xu won the 200 individual medley, Shaw won the 50 free, Baytin won the 100 free and 100 breaststroke, Brophy won the 500 free, and Guan won the 100 backstroke “That was a good test, it was our first legitimate test this season so it was nice to come out on top and to have some really fast times,” said Misiewicz of the win over the Northern Knights. “There are a lot of things to be excited about for the season.” Misiewicz is excited about the senior leadership she is getting from Shaw. “Alex is a big one, even though he is a club swimmer, when he is here he is constantly up,” said Misiewicz. “He is behind the blocks, he is on the side of the pool. He is getting people up and motivated, pumped and fired up. He is has been my go-to on the guys side as far as energy and morale

and things like that. He is all about it, he loves high school swimming.” The Tiger girls have Misiewicz pumped up as well. “We were fortunate to be ranked in the top 20 of the state last year,” said Misiewicz, whose team showed its strength by routing WW/P-North 132.537-5 and with its closest win being a 107-63 triumph over Robbinsville on December 9. “So our hope and our goal is to keep building on that.” There is a good foundation

in place for the squad with seniors Abby Walden, Laura Liu, Tracey Liu, and Jordyn Weber along with juniors Beatrice Cai and Annie Zhao, a sophomore group of Lauren Girouard, Nora Chen, Kyleigh Tangen, Courtney Weber and Jessie Wang and a pair of freshman standouts in Sabine Ristad and Lola Jimenez. In the victory over WW/PNorth, Tangen took fi rst in the 200 and 100 free, Cai was first in the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly, Tracey Liu won the 50 free and 100 backstroke, Ristad won the 500 free, and Zhao won the 100 breaststroke.

“The fact that there is a postseason and counties this year, we have things to train towards,” said Misiewicz. “I think our goals and mindset are a little different from last year.” With PHS slated to wrap up the 2021 por tion of its s chedu le by hos t ing Hopewell Valley on December 21 and then returning to action when its hosts Notre Dame on January 4, Misiewicz is urging her swimmers to stay in the moment as they head into the homestretch of the season. “It is really just taking it meet by meet, swim by

swim, event by event, and literally second by second,” said Misiewicz. “My main thing I am always telling them is beat the person next to you. Times are great, they are important but they are what they are. But as a team, at the end of the day, you should be less concerned about your time than how can I help my team as much as possible. High school swimming is different, you actually get to feel a sense of pride for your school and you want to help your team out.” — Bill Alden

W hile the Hun School boys’ hockey team has gotten off to an up-and-down 5-5 start, Ian McNally believes the record is not an accurate barometer of his squad’s potential. “Ever ybody we have played has been good, we have shown each other that there is something here and we are not out of it in either of our leagues,” said Hun head coach McNally, whose program competes in both the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League ( M A HL) and the

Atlantic Prep Athletic Conference (APAC). “There is potential to play for playoff spots and the hope to have a big finish. In some of these pretty disappointing losses against PDS (a 2-1 defeat on December 1) and Lawrenceville (a 5-4 defeat on December 14) where you feel like you deserved better, maybe that comes back around in the end. There is enough optimism there for that, we have had some big moments so far. The biggest takeaway is

the proof, showing each other we can beat all of these teams.” The Raiders came tantalizingly close to beating Lawrenceville, taking a 4-1 lead early in the third period only to see the Big Red score four unanswered goals to pull out the win. “They scored early and then we got up 3-1, it was a very similar game a few weeks ago when we were in Pittsburgh,” said McNally. “We played Hoosac (N.Y.)

FROST ADVISORY: Hun School boys’ hockey player Riley Frost controls the puck in recent action. Senior forward Frost has tallied three goals and six assists to help Hun get off to a 5-5 start. The Raiders are next in action when they host Don Bosco on January 6. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

and we won 4-1. It was fast, hard. We were getting our shots and competing and we made the best of our chances. In the L awrenceville game, they were never not there. They probably could have scored on some other occasions. We were holding on but as soon as it started to go, it went in a hurry.” Junior forward Elian Estulin starred in the defeat for Hun, tallying three goals. “Elian took over, he scored on every chance he had,” said McNally. “ T h e y we r e n’t f lu ke y, he scored some legitimate goals. It was him on the end of it and he scored. He has definitely been playing great. If you were an outsider watching that game, you would be saying who is that kid. He was the difference maker. He just full of confidence and it was awesome to see.” Another player who has been making a difference for the Raiders is Seth Kaplan, a post-graduate who previously starred at MorristownBeard. “We were lucky to have him show up on our doorstep for us,” said McNally of Kaplan who had three assists against Lawrenceville. “He didn’t anticipate playing hockey this year. He was going to go to college. He changed plans last minute and decided to do a post grad year to get more ready for it, not hockey-related. He was looking for a boarding situation and landed at Hun. He said I play hockey, can I play. I knew him, we had played against him. He has been great. I think it is this pressure-free, fun situation for him that he is taking advantage of.” Estulin and Kaplan have combined with senior Riley Frost on the team’s top line along with senior defenseman Nick Dimatos to give Hun a potent attack. “We have played 10 games but four of them came that weekend in Pit tsburgh,” said McNally, referring to the season-opening Shady Side Academy Thanksgiving Classic. “Those guys Estulin, Kaplan, and Frost were a line and Nick Dimatos playing D at the same time all had big production weekends. Ever yb o dy playe d g re at

but certainly they were the ones on the finishing end of things on a lot of the play. They are being counted on to be the ones providing the offense and they have. If you look at our stats, you know who the first line is.” Two other players, senior Josh Ouellette and postgrad Ryan Croddick, have also been providing production. “Josh has been a secondary scoring threat which has been nice,” said McNally. “He has s core d s om e timely goals. He shoots and scores from the blue line like an NHL defenseman would score, not like a high school defenseman. The other guy that is part of that mix is another kid who just landed in our lap in Ryan. He is a postgrad from Rumson Fair Haven and is a lacrosse commit to Princeton. He is a lacrosse goalie and he ended up at Hun through that. He has been awesome. He is smart, quiet but big and strong.” Another lacrosse player, sophomore Brendan Marino, is making his presence felt on the ice. “We don’t count in his scoring game but he has been scoring a lot regardless,” added McNally. “He has got a good little shot. He is our youngest kid, he is the only sophomore on the team. He is a guy who came to us through lacrosse. When we played Holy Ghost and we kind of found something on offense and we won 6-1. He scored twice on great little quick shots. He buried them and he came back to the bench smiling saying this feels

like lacrosse. I finally get to score some goals.” At goalie, senior Jack Borek and junior Stephen Chen have formed a solid rotation. “They have both played five games but Stephen has had some pretty big moments so far,” said McNally. “T he biggest one was when we played St Joe’s Prep. It was 0-0 through overtime. I felt like we had the puck two-thirds of the game but we kept letting up chances. For every one of our two good chances, we let up a breakaway or a 2 on 1 and he was super human. He stopped all three shootout shots and we won 1-0. We should have scored more but we won because of him. It was a coming out party for him. He has had to wait his turn.” With Hun currently on holiday break and returning to action when it hosts Don Bosco on January 6, McNally believes his squad has what it takes to come out on top down the stretch. “You have your scrimmages, you have your tournament and then you have your first league games,” said McNally. “In January, it starts this six-week sprint, it is grueling. By the time you get to February, you have been playing two or three games every week and they all matter. We have shown we can play, we have had success and we have had these individual accomplishments. Now it is time, you have to get points.” —Bill Alden

Despite Producing an Up-and-Down 5-5 Start, Hun Boys’ Hockey Sees Potential for Big Finish

Registration opens in January!

Undeterred by losing 6322 to George School (Pa.) in its season opener last Friday, the Princeton Day School girls’ basketball team brought confidence into its matchup against visiting West Windsor/PlainsboroNorth on Saturday morning. “We wanted to win because we had played them in a scrimmage,” said PDS sophomore forward Tochi Owunna. “This was a winnable game.” Tr a i l i n g t h e N or t h e r n Knights 7-4 after the first quarter, the Panthers got things going in the second, building a 15-10 lead by halftime. “I think we got a lot of energy,” said Owunna, reflecting on the second quarter surge which saw her contribute four points. “We were passing t he ball on offense well and we were playing really good defense.” T he Pant hers held of f WW/P-N down the stretch to earn a 30-23 win with Ow unna ending up w ith eight points. “ T h i s g ave m e c on f i dence,” said Owunna of her performance. “It was also just the morale of the whole team, there was just really good energy the whole game.” T he Pant hers d id r u n low on energy in the latter stages of the contest as they tired playing in their second game in less than 24 hours. “In the fourth quarter we started to get a little tired so went to the 2-3 but we still held our own on defense,” said Owunna. “This was our first home game so it was a really good job.” Owunna, who also stars for the PDS girls’ soccer team, has put in time to sharpen her game.

“I really worked on my ball skills because now I can dribble the ball up really well,” said Owunna. “I am not really an outside shooter.” Juggling soccer with basketball has kept Owunna busy. “It is kind of hard because sometimes I have to go straight from basketball,” said Owunna, who also plays for the FC Copa Academy club team. “I usually have something seven days a week. I have basketball five days a week and then I have soccer three or four times a week. It is a really hard schedule to juggle but I can still do it. I am really fit during this time because I am doing both sports at the same time.” PDS head coach Seraphine Hamilton is impressed by the growth she is seeing in Owunna. “Tochi has made tremendous progress, she has matured significantly as an athlete,” said Hamilton, who works with Owunna in the fall as an assistant soccer coach for PDS. “Having her in soccer also, she has a really great balance between having focus and intensity without being frantic. She is a very composed, poised individual and yet she is not going to get beat. She is really competitive. She is a great leader by example in that people follow her energy. She is just very centered and very grounded.” Hamilton liked the way her team kept its composure as the Northern Knights drew to with 27-23 late in the game. “We could see the fatigue big time in the fourth quarter especially; it started to wear in the third quarter so we had to switch to the zone,” said Hamilton.

“We just had to bring a lot more energy from the people who are sitting down to just help get them going and keep them invested. There were a couple of calls that we thought could have gone our way and it was getting them fired up. We talked about showing how to do it on the court and let’s get it done and don’t make it a questionable thing. It really made a difference for them. I didn’t tell them to hold the ball in that last minutes. I was really proud of their patience because it showed a lot more maturity than I have seen out of them.” Like Owunna, Hamilton saw the 11-3 run in the second quarter as a pivotal sequence for the Panthers. “We started to move the ball a lot better, we also started to talk a lot more defensively,” said Hamilton. “We were lucky in that we weren’t outsized. They ran flex really well but we started to switch every screen because we could physically manage that. It was a good physical matchup that really helped and made them tough on defense. Talking on defense and moving the ball are two things that we have really focused on in the beginning.” S ophomore g uard Jen Lightman gave PDS a lift w ith some good outside shooting. “Jen does give us a nice perimeter game, it is something, we haven’t had and it is nice to have that option,” said Hamilton of Lightman, who scored eight points in the win. “She is also a lefty so it takes a while for people to figure it out. She has a lot of really exciting energy in the way that Tochi is really composed, Jen is all over the place. She is a little

FINISHING TOUCH: Princeton Day School girls’ basketball Tochi Owunna heads upcourt last Saturday against West Windsor/Plainsboro-North.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) more frantic but in all the positive ways; they balance each other out really well. When we need a spark, she is going to bring it out.” PDS got positive contributions from senior guard Maddie Nowack and freshman for ward Shelby Ruf as Nowack chipped in six points while Ruf had four points and provided some yeoman’s work in the paint. “Maddie had some great shots and she was able to

bring some confidence with t he ball -hand ling,” s aid Hamilton. “Shelby played the entire game. She showed up yesterday and played excellent defense against a 6’2 nationally ranked player and came out today and showed great determination. Shelby is grit defined.” With the Panthers taking part in a holiday tournament at South Hunterdon High from December 28-29, Hamilton is hoping her team can build on the win over WW/P-N. “This was a big one; yesterday their expectations at George were can we keep it in this quarter,” said Hamilton. “ We h a d s c r i m m a g e d West Windsor and we talked about not showing all of

our cards at the scrimmage. They felt prepared because they knew them. They felt like OK, we can hang with this team and they wanted that W. We did close the deal which is something we have not always been able to do.” Ow unna, for her par t, believes that closing the deal against the Northern Knights resulted from sticking to basics. “We are really big on crashing the boards and boxing out, that is something we work on,” said Owunna. “It is also talking on defense and offense and not getting too clumped up in the middle when we are running our offense.” — Bill Alden

Morton Collins 1936-2021 Morton Collins, a six-decade resident of Princeton, NJ, died on Tuesday, December 14 at the age of 85 after a long illness. Morton was born in Somers Point, NJ, on Januar y 28,1936 and was raised in Linwood, NJ. His parents were Emily (Swan) Collins and Morton Collins, Sr. He received a BS in Chemical Engineering from the University of Delaware, and an MS and PhD from Princeton University, also in Chemical Engineering. Later in life he received an honorary PhD in Science from the University of Delaware recognizing his many years of service and support to the University’s School of Engineering. Mor ton understood the power of education and how it changed the trajectory of his life. He never forgot the educators that supported him on his path, including his fourth grade teacher. He dedicated much of his time and many resources to supporting and mentoring young people. Morton had an insatiable curiosity and passion for adventure. He explored every corner of the world with his adoring wife Donna, but always came back to the East Coast shoreline he loved as a child. He started his first business there as a young teenager, raking clams and other delicacies to sell to large local restaurants. Orphaned at 11, and on his own from the age of 16, Mor ton worked hard to create a strong and loving structure for his family; sharing not only the serious lessons he had learned in life, but also many joyous and exciting escapades, and innumerable small silly moments with his children and grandchildren. Morton received a Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army through the ROTC Program at Delaware and in 1963 was called to active duty. He led a special project team at U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal and the National Security Agency (NSA) and then trained to fly at Patuxent River Naval Air Station and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. He went on to fly

over 160 missions in the F-4 Phantom II over the South China Sea operating off the USS Enterprise. Through his lifetime he remained an active private pilot of single and multi-engine aircrafts, turbojets, and even a bright red, open cockpit WACO biplane. He eventually accumulated over 7,000 hours of flying time. In 1968, he founded Data Science Ventures (DSV), a pioneering venture capital firm that had offices in Princeton, NJ, and Newport Beach, CA. DSV partnerships specialized in early stage f inancing of h igh technology companies in the fields of life sciences, electronic materials, communications, and software. A former president, director and chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, Morton was the recipient of the 1989 University of Delaware Medal of Distinction, the 1990 New York Venture Forum Award, and the 1992 Delaware Valley Venture Group Award. Morton chaired President Ronald Reagan’s Task Force on Innovation and Entrepreneurship and served as a technology policy advisor to President George H.W. Bush. He served on the New Jersey Governor’s Commission on Science and Technology, the New Jersey Governor’s Superconductivity Roundtable, and was a member of the Research Roundtable of the National Academy of Sciences. He was also a member of the National Academy of Engineering. In addition, he was a member of the Advisory Council to the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at the University of Delaware; a member of the Leadership Council of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Princeton University; a member of the Graduate School Leadership Council at Princeton University; a member of the Systems Biology Advisory Council at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ; and a member of the President’s Advisory Council at the University of Delaware. Mor ton is sur v ived by his wife Donna Collins of Princeton, NJ, and his four children and their spouses: Kristy and David, Melissa and Mike, Quincey and Rob, and Tyler and Stephanie. He was also beloved by 13 grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Carole Shreve and their daughter Lisa, and his second wife Eva Karacsony. A memorial service will be held in 2022. Details will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to Princeton Area Community Foundation Inc, PO Box 825454, Philadelphia, PA 19182-5454. Please make checks payable to Princeton Area Community Fund with “Collins Fund” in the memo line. Donations can also be made online at:https://pacf. org/morton-and-donna-collins-fund.

Maureen Darrow Maureen Grace Sullivan Darrow died December 14, 2021. She was in her home with family by her side at Stonebridge at Montgomery. She passed away peacefully. She was born August 17, 1926 in New York City. Her parents were Edward and Hazel Sullivan. Maureen entered at 16 and graduated from City College of New York, one of the first classes of women. She then met R. Morton Darrow, who promptly founded the History Club in order to get to know her. They married at age 20 and would have been married 75 years last May, but we lost Mort in November 2020. They moved to Princeton in 1951 where they lived for 65 years until they moved to Stonebridge 8 years ago. Maureen also earned a master‘s degree from Trenton State College. Maureen was known for her inner and outer beauty. She was bright, extremely generous, kind, energetic, and determined. She enjoyed being a wife, parent to Marc Darrow, Nancy Darrow Whiteside, aunt to Rob, Charlie, and Richard Goldberg, and grandmother to Daniel Whiteside, as well as the loving great aunt to her nephews’ children: Alison, Emily, Keith, and Julie Goldberg. She is also survived by Harry Johnson, her stepfather’s son. Maureen had many friends who she valued greatly, and who loved and admired her. She taught school, served as an assistant teacher with ESL students, and brought her talent for innovation to Project Child, an early intervention program in West Windsor that became a national model. The extent of Maureen’s volunteer work for the Princeton community was remarkable. At various points, calling herself a “Professional Volunteer for Non-Profits,” she: helped found Friends of the Princeton Library, served on their board, and helped get a new library built; helped establish the Youth Employment Services for teens; helped found a YMCA nurser y school; ser ved on the Boards of Council of Community Services, Mercer Street Friends, and Princeton Senior Center; served as a Cub Scout leader and Den Mother; helped found a local Meals on Wheels and helped deliver meals ; volunteered with the Democratic Party; volunteered at Planned Parenthood ; volunteered for Princeton Hospice; volunteered for over 20 years at Mercer Street Friends Food Pantry in Trenton, together with her close friend, Janet Townsend; and served on the board of the Lillian Gertel Marcus Scholarship fund for over 30 years.

Maureen had a strong sense of social justice and valued community service. She and Mort also enjoyed reading, art museums, music, nature, and travel, including attending 26 elder hostels, many of which were overseas. She was a gifted hostess. There are many who will greatly miss Maureen’s warmth, charm, and caring spirit. In lieu of flowers please con s i d e r a d on at ion to Mercer Street Friends (151 Mercer Street, Trenton, NJ, 08611) or the Lillian Gertel Marcus Scholarship Fund (42 Harriet Drive, Princeton, NJ, 08540 ) in her name. Cards can be addressed to Nancy Whiteside at 41 Shobe Avenue, Brunswick ME, 04011. There will not be a funeral or memorial service.

Anne D. Groom Anne D. Groom passed away at the end of November in Edmonds, WA, after many years of decline with dementia. Like her husband, Len Groom, who predeceased her in August, she lived most of her life in Princeton. After graduating from Princeton High School, Anne received degrees in English literature from Barnard College and Rutgers University. She had many interests that she pursued throughout her life. Anne loved language and worked first at ETS in Research, creating a series of advanced exams in literature, and later edited a series of texts and teacher’s editions for Macmillan Publishing. She also worked as an editor for the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Following retirement from her positions as an editor, Anne’s academic interests found their expression through her involvement over the years with the Princeton Research Forum. She edited the manuscripts of many PRF members, and was an active discussant on a wide range of topics. Anne greatly enjoyed music and singing, and she was an active and founding member of the Princeton Pro Musica, as well as a member of the Westminster Choir, over decades. She retained her love of music to the end of her life, never happier than when she was singing. Anne’s love of travel and adventure took her abroad numerous times, and she lived in England with her husband, Len, when his work as an architect for The Hillier Group took them to London. She enjoyed hosting her children and friends in London especially. A devoted daughter and daughter-in-law, as well as a beloved wife and mother, Anne’s family mourns her passing.

L or raine Barbara B ell Giardino, 89, born February 1932 in Queens, NY, and raised in Manhasset, NY, passed peacefully December 8, 2021 in Charlotte, NC. By her side were her daughter Leslie, son Michael and his wife Laura, and granddaughter Margaux. In addition to her two children, Lorraine is survived by her sister Claudia and six grandchildren: Margaux, James, Alexandra, Margaret, Daniel, and David, along with four stepgrands: Leslie, Claire, Julia, Cameron, and a step-greatgrandson Hartford. She was predeceased by her loving husband M. David Giardino in 2013 and her sister Eunice Johns in 2000. Lorraine was the consummate mother. She had no greater joy than the life of her family including her children, grandchildren, son-in-law Jim Mackinson, daughters-in-law Sandra and Laura Giardino, her sister and brother-in-law Claudia and Bob Gedmin, and a host of nieces and nephews too plentiful to enumerate.

active members of the community. Lorraine became a deacon at Nassau Presbyterian Church and continued to travel in support of Dave, but her real love remained the family group back home in Princeton – especially as grandchildren began to arrive starting in the early 1980s. “Nan” was truly the glue that bound the family together. Following the death of her husband in 2013, Lorraine made the difficult choice to leave Princeton for Charlotte, NC, to be near Leslie and Jim. Here she lived independently in her own home along with her companion Maltese dogs, surrounded by her collection of cherished items collected with HOPEWELL • NJ HIGHTSTOWN • NJ Dave over their many years together and enjoying her garden with its many feathered visitors. Leslie, Jim, and 609.921.6420 609.448.0050 son Daniel made thatWe happy pride ourselves We prideon ourselves being aon small, being personal, a small, and personal, serviceand oriented servicefamily oriented business. familyWith business. five generations With five generations of of situation possible by attend-experience,experience, We pride ourselves on being a small, personal, and we are here weto are help here guide to help you through guide you the through difficultthe process difficult of process monument ofservice monument selection. selection.

Lorraine Barbara Bell Giardino

Following her graduation from Centenary College, Lorraine married her beau Dave, and joined him for his senior year at Princeton University. Upon Dave’s graduation in 1953, Dave joined the Navy, which led the young couple to a military life where Dave served in Newport RI, Brooklyn NY, and Stockton CA. They returned to the East Coast with their young son Michael settling in the Summit, NJ, area in 1957. Daughter Leslie arrived in 1959 and the couple made Summit the place where they raised their family. During the Summit years, the Giardinos were active both socially and politically. They were founding members of PADA – Parents Against Drug Abuse – active members of the Summit Presbyterian Church, as well as the local chapter of the NJ Cerebral Palsy Foundation. Dave and Lorraine also campaigned for local, state, and federal candidates for office, many of whom became personal friends, and led an active social life with a close group of dear friends. Lorraine joined and eventually became a crew chief on the Summit Rescue Squad. Foremost, however, Lorraine supported her family, attending most every sporting and school event that she could and traveled the world with Dave as he pursued his business interest. 1984 found both Michael and Leslie married and living in Princeton, NJ. So, they decided to return to their initial stomping grounds and join the kids. In the beginning, it was a bit of an adjustment for them both, but they soon became
