Committee Recommends Fossil Fuel Divestment To Princeton Trustees

75¢ at newsstands

Princeton Prepares Next Steps in Opening Up As COVID-19 infection rates continue to decline and vaccinations increase, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced on Monday, May 3 additional easing of restrictions in the next two weeks. Princeton Health Officer Jeff Grosser thinks that the state and Princeton are exiting the pandemic at an appropriate speed. “Case transmission has been at an alltime low, and in Princeton specifically, we have seen some of our lowest incidence rates of COVID-19 since the pandemic began in March 2020,” said Grosser. On May 3 the Princeton Health Department reported three new cases in the previous seven days (0.42 daily average) and just four total cases in the previous 14 days (0.28 daily average). “We are continuing to understand how vaccinated individuals are really making an impact on overall community health here,” Grosser added. Murphy’s changes in restrictions, in partnership with New York and Connecticut, will take place in two phases, on May 7 and May 19. The limit on outdoor gatherings will increase to 500 persons on May 7 and be removed entirely on May 19, though a six-foot social distancing requirement between groups will remain. Also on May 19, the indoor gathering

limit will be raised to 50 from 25, and the percent capacity limits will be removed for indoor and outdoor businesses, including stores, restaurants, bars, and gyms, as well as houses of worship. Masks and six-foot distancing will remain essential. “With COVID-19 cases on the decline, more than seven million vaccines administered, and the good weather allowing more outdoor activities, we are able to take these steps to reopen the state,” said Health Commissioner Judith Per-

sichilli. “But we can’t let our guard down now. Please get vaccinated if you haven’t already, practice physical distancing, and wear a mask when in large crowds.” Vaccination opportunities in New Jersey are increasing rapidly. The Princeton Health Department is holding a Moderna vaccine clinic on Thursday, May 6 at the Princeton Senior Resource Center, with appointments scheduled online at 2021covid19vaccine.as.me.

FEEDING THE HUNGRY: Princeton Montessori School students and families donated 300 meals to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen as part of its annual food drive.

Princeton Montessori Community “This was the 9th year West Windsor Farmers Helps Out Trenton Soup Kitchen that PMonts par ticipated Market Opens for Season

Pr inceton Montessor i School ( PMonts) students and families recently donated, assembled, and delivered 300 bagged meals to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) for the school’s 9th annual food drive. TASK feeds those who are hungry in the Trenton area and offers programs to encourage self-sufficiency and improve the quality of life of its patrons. Canned goods, drinks, and other shelf-stable foods were collected in bins throughout the school over the past few weeks and students participated in the creation and assembly of the bagged meals. The effort took place at the PMonts campus on Cherry Valley Road and was coordinated by the school’s Parent Association chairs, Rebecca Piccone and Providence More.

H s a e p i r p e e v i l e D e m o HoHme De Deliveries Happ

in creating 300 take-home meals for our neighbors in need,” said Piccone. “Everyone at the school was involved, including students, parents, and teachers. It was a beautiful day of compassion and community.” Community ser vice is an impor tant par t of the Montessori teaching philosophy and students from each program had a role in the food drive. The Primary children (ages 3-6) created drawings on the meal bags and wrote messages on cards. First and second grade students helped unpack all of the food donations and broke down the boxes for recycling. Thirdto fifth-graders assembled the meal bags and sixth- to eighth-graders helped load t he meals into t he c ars headed to TASK.

STILL COOKING: Former local residents Emily and Lyla Allen, known in the food world as The Kitchen Twins, will lead a streamed event to benefit the Arts Council of Princeton. Emily, left, and Lyla are co-authors of the book “Teen Kitchen.”

The Kitchen Twins are Back With a Virtual “Cook-Along”

The last we checked in with Emily and Lyla Allen, better known as The Kitchen Twins, they were 13-yearold middle school students at Princeton Day School. Already veterans of such television programs as The Today show, Chopped Junior, and The Rachael Ray Show, they were getting ready to go to the International Housewares Show in

Chicago, where they would demonstrate a line of pots and pans created by Michael Graves Architecture and Design. That was four years ago. Now 17, t he t w ins now live in Buffalo, New York, where they are high school juniors. On Tuesday, May 11 at 7 p.m., they will return to Princeton, virtually, with a streamed “cook-along” where they will take viewers through the steps to make a gnocchi dinner topped off with a chocolate dessert.

The event is “perfect for the whole family to enjoy together,” reads a release from the Arts Council. “Emily and Lyla are experts at creating healthy and delicious recipes from home.” In the middle of AP exams, the twins were not available for an interview. But following their Instagram provides a glimpse into their lives. They play lacrosse. They got COVID vaccines. They take walks in the snow. They go on vacation. But mostly, they cook. A different recipe is posted every day. Heavy on breakfast and sweet-tasting concoctions, they include such delectable-looking creations as pumpkin scones, banana pancakes, chocolate cherry granola, and double chocolate oatmeal. But there are also avocado toast, blueberry smoothie bowls, jackfruit toast, and loaded nourish bowls. Many recipes include substitutions for those who might be gluten-free, dairyfree, or looking for extra protein. The girls started baking cookies with their grandmother when they were 3 years old. “And our parents were natural food entrepreneurs [who formerly sold naturally flavored waters and healthy snacks] so it just came naturally,” Emily told Town Topics in 2017. “When we were 9, we entered a local competition and got first place.” “We were 10,” countered Lyla. “No, 9,” said Emily. After some good-natured backand-forth, the girls agreed to disagree. After joining forces with m arke t i n g of f i c e r Kel ly Ford of Edison Partners, the twins’ career took off. Three appearances on

The Rachael Ray Show were followed by the spot on Today. “They came to our house,” said Lyla. “Sheinelle Jones interviewed us for a piece they were doing on young foodies.” The now-teenage media stars’ most recent appearance on The Rachael Ray Show was a virtual one this past February, where they created recipes out of food they used to hate — white mushroom pizza and smoky eggplant fries. They are also the authors of the book Teen Kitchen, a 75-page compendium of recipes they love to cook. Registration for the Arts Council event includes the live tutorial and a downloadable, teen-friendly recipe guide. Tickets are $35 Continued on Next Page

LOCAL DIAPER BANK RAISING MONEY FOR MOMS ON MOTHER’S DAY This Mother’s Day, the Maker’s Place, a nonprofit diaper bank in Trenton, New Jersey, is raising money to support struggling moms. Last year, over a thousand mothers, grandmothers, and other caregivers contacted the organization for help. It’s a 100% increase in requests for diapers since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, says Rev. Michael Reed, a United Methodist pastor and one of the founders of the Maker’s Place. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, families have struggled to afford basic essentials—essentials like diapers. “When we started our diaper bank a few years ago, I kept thinking we were going to run out,” Reed says. “Now, we’re giving out 120,000 diapers a year, to more than 2000 children annually. People continue to pitch in—churches, local families in Trenton, everybody plays a part—and we always seem to have enough to give away.” Launched in 2018, the Maker’s Place began as a way for people of faith to connect with neighbors in practical ways. “The whole purpose of Christian faith is to bring about the kingdom of God, the abundant community,” Reed says. “The potential for that is already present in our communities—it’s all around us.” To support their work with local mothers this year, Maker’s Place is hosting their “In Honor of Mom” fundraiser. “We’re inviting folks to give in honor of a special mom in their life, and help a local mom struggling here in Trenton,” says Reed. Donors who give before Mother’s Day, May 9th, will receive a personalized letter of recognition for their honoree, letting them know that a contribution has been made in their honor to provide diapers for a Mercer County mom. Donations can be made online at www.makersplace.org/give, or by writing to P.O. Box 54, Trenton NJ 08601. “Our goal is to connect neighbors with neighbors, and watch this community grow,” Reed says. “It’s a work in progress, but it’s gratifying to help thousands of families, in big ways and small.”

Military Action Council Is New Nonprofit Group

Two Mercer County residents with ties to the Armed Forces have founded the Mercer C ou nt y M i l it ar y Action Council (MCMAC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to suppor ting the service members and the mission of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JB MDL), as well as activeduty personnel, reservists, guardsmen, veterans, and their respective families living in local towns. Regina Arcur i of Rob binsville and William “Bill” Cleave of Pennington, both honorary commanders at JB MDL, created this nonprofit organizat ion in Januar y 2021. They joined forces with Alan Gilmore, an attorney from Pennington, and David A. Lauer, CPA, of Hamilton to complete the council’s executive board. The council launched its website last week. Arcuri, chair woman of MCMAC, encourages Mercer County area business owners, local government officials, and residents to join the organization. “We need a military support organization here in Mercer County not only to support the service members and the mission of the base, but also to inform local businesses that they can tap into a highly s k i l l e d a n d re s p on s ibl e workforce.” Arcuri has been active in other military support organizations based in Ocean and Burlington counties for years. She soon realized that many military families live and work here in Mercer, many of whom silently struggle to fit into their adopted (and often temporary) communities. “These families would benefit from a military support organization located close to home,” she said. “Supporting the base and these families helps everyone who lives in our county. We all need each other,” she added. Cleave, vice chairman of the organization, noted that his father served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, including the D-Day invasion at Omaha Beach, and then in the reserves during the Korean War. His parents, he said, taught him to honor the sacrifices of the men and women in uniform and their families. “Helping to establish this organization is my way of paying it forward,” he said. Aside from hosting fundraisers and military appreciation events, MCMAC will hold networking events so local business leaders can meet base commanders and procurement agents. The organization will also encourage local businesses to tap into the talent on base and offer transitioning service members an opportunity to use their skills in the civilian workplace. MCMAC is now accepting sponsorships and memberships through its website. For more information, visit mcmilitaryactioncouncil.org.

Herding, Shearing, and More at Howell Farm

Howell Living History Farm in Hopewell Township is holding several outdoor programs this month designed to demonstrate life on a farm in bygone days. All programs, which begin at 10 a.m., are modified to encourage social distancing and reflect current state guidelines for public events. Visitors must carry masks at all times and wear them when social distancing isn’t possible. A children’s craft program will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a small materials fee. The season begins May 8 with Sheep Shearing. Participants will learn about herding, wool spinning, and weaving throughout the day, with shearing demonstrations, herding demonstrations with award-winning border collies and sheep, and more. On May 15, the subject is Corn Planting. Farmers will use workhorses and a circa-1900 planter to demonstrate. Back in the barnyard, participants can help shell and grind corn for the pigs and chickens, and learn how corn is processed for baking before sampling some fresh-baked cornbread. The May 22 program is Hog Slopping and Weighing. Guess the weights of the Howell Farm hogs as they step onto the scales for their summer weigh-in. Visitors will learn the finer points of keeping pigs, including their history, diet, and some fun facts. Next, they’ll guess their weight, grind corn, mix feed, fill the wallow, and slop the hogs. The final program on May 29 is about Haying, during which participants can learn how to make hay the old-fashioned way by watching farmers cutting, tedding, and raking loose hay to store in the barn for the horses. Howell Farm is at 70 Woodens Lane. Visit howellfarm.org or call (609) 737-3299 for more information.

Capital City Farmers Market Canceled for 2021 Season

Trenton Downtown Association (TDA) has announced that the 2021 Capital City Farmers Market (CCFM) will not be opening this spring. The market, which was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, traditionally attracts thousands of visitors to Mill Hill Park every Thursday from May to October.

Over the past year, TDA has remained extremely cautious about hosting largescale gatherings. As a small nonprofit organization, TDA is currently focusing much of its energy and resources on the urgent task of supporting the businesses in its Special Improvement District (SID) impacted by the crisis. As business continues to pick back up in downtown Trenton and COVID-19 cases are further reduced, TDA hopes to add staff to operate the Farmers Market. “We will be reaching out to our vendors to offer support until we can safely and effectively reopen. We are fully committed to doing what we can to help the farmers and vendors who are such a valuable resource for our community,” said Amanda Donald, marketing director for TDA, who operates the Capital City Farmers Market. TDA encourages consumers and restaurants to buy from our local farmers. “It’s more important than ever that we support our local businesses,” Donald said. “We will be adding an updated listing of farmers and vendors to our website at trenton-downtown.com as well as featuring them in our marketing.”

Rider to Require Students To Be Fully Vaccinated

Rider University will require proof of COVID-19 vaccination for undergraduate and graduate students enrolled for the fall 2021 semester. The requirement applies to all students who are enrolled or will otherwise be present on campus for any reason. Students enrolled in fully online degree programs who do not physically come to campus will not require vaccination. “Requiring student immunization will help us achieve our first priority, which is protecting the health and safety of our campus community,” said University President Gregory G. Dell’Omo. “Achieving widespread vaccination will also accelerate the return to a campus experience that more closely resembles what students expected before the pandemic.” Those expectations include extensive in-person teaching, residential housing, and on - campus activities and events. Rider announced in March its intention to retur n to

be required to provide proof of vaccination prior to the start of the fall semester. Rider is currently offering a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for employees, administered by Penn Medicine Princeton

Council Approves Recommendation For Shopping Center Area Redevelopment Last week, Princeton Council approved a resolution designating the North Harrison Redevelopment Study Area, which includes Princeton Shopping Center, as an area in need of redevelopment. Council’s unanimous vote on April 27 followed a recommendation the previous week from the Planning Board. The authorization by the governing body begins a multi-step process that includes several public meetings before a final determination is made. Council approved a resolution last December asking the Planning Board to study the area for possible designation. Consultant Carlos Rodrigues was hired to prepare a report, in which he said the area meets the criteria and should be declared a “noncondemnation” area in need of redevelopment. The option for condemnation by the government does

not apply in this case, because all of the property owners are in agreement about the designation. In addition to the shopping center, the properties include Grover Park, the three buildings that were formerly owned by Princeton First Aid and Rescue Squad (PFARS) and are now owned by the town, and a vacant lot at 351 Terhune Road. C om m ent s f rom s om e members of the public who are opposed to the redevelopment proposal included some who said they value the shopping center as is, and worry that the designation would mean it would be demolished. Councilwoman Mia Sacks was quick to say that that no such plans exist. Councilman David Cohen commented that the redevelopment designation affords the town with more control and flexibility than traditional zoning, which limits what can

be asked of developers. Built in 1954 and now owned by the Edens company, the center has a vacancy of around 20 percent. Rodrigues said that its aging infrastructure and under-utilized courtyard contribute to its obsolescence. Some residents disagreed, saying they value the courtyard and visit the center on a regular basis. “We need to slow this thing down,” said resident Dale Meade, who thought the report by Rodrigues was too vague and too negative. Others spoke in favor of the designation, including Council candidate Leighton Newlin and resident David Newton, former head of Palmer Square Management. “Princeton doesn’t like change,” Newton said. “But change is sometimes necessary. Whatever you do, don’t go slow. Insist on speed.” —Anne Levin

Specifically, Schoene pointed out that the issue of climate change and how best to address it has been a significant concern on campus for many years, and that the subject of University partnerships with fossil fuel companies has been brought to the Resources Committee many times in recent years; that the actions of companies that spread climate disinformation and ignore the need to transition away from fossil fuels “contradict the University’s truth-seeking mission and evidence-based research values” and the values of the University’s 2019 Sustainability Action Plan and its goal to contribute to a future free of fossil fuels; and that a consensus in favor of divestment and dissociation is apparent in a November 2020 Undergraduate Student Government referendum where 82 percent of undergraduates polled voted in favor of conditional dissociation. Schoene explained that dissociation would include divestment of all financial investments, terminating oncampus funding ties, and halting the purchase of products from those companies. The full report of the committee will be forwarded to the trustee finance committee and made public by May 10, and the trustees are expected to address the question of divestment in the coming months. When the question of fossil fuel divestment was reviewed by the Resources Committee in 2015, it did not recommend divestment. Princeton University Vice President for Finance and Treasurer Jim Matteo wrote in the Daily Princetonian last month that the BOT would give “serious consideration” to the Resource Committee’s recommendations, but that the Board has sole responsibility for University policy on all investment matters and that “the Resources Committee’s recommendations will serve to inform the trustees’ decisions but will not determine them.” —Donald Gilpin

are interconnected, so you can’t talk about climate justice or the water issues without talking about food insecurity, mental health, and definitely workplace safety.” He continued, “I want to stand in solidarity with other people who are in the struggle and the movement. It’s important that we show up for one another.” An array of signs and banners in Spanish and English proclaimed a wide range of issues such as “Stop Worker Abuse,” “Stop Detention Centers,” “Stop Silencing Us,” and “Immigrants’ Rights=Workers Rights=Human Rights.” As the marchers proceeded past downtown restaurants and around Palmer Square before circling back down John Street to Community Park, they chanted: “El pueblo unido jamas sera vencido (The people united will never be defeated),” “Unidad es poder (Unity is power),” and “Que queremos? Trabajos seguros! Cuando? Ahora! (What do we want? Safe jobs. When? Now.)” Princeton Councilwoman Eve Niedergang explained why she joined the marchers. “I’m here because I think

our communities that are undocumented in particular have suffered horribly through the pandemic,” she said. “The aid programs that have been available for others have not been available for them. This is a day to stand up and say, ‘People are people whatever their legal status is,’ and we need to do a better job of taking care of everyone in our community. That’s why I’m here today.” Recalling the generations of her family who have lived and worked in Princeton, Fern Spruill, a Princeton Civil Rights Commission member and former member of the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education, stated that she was marching with the demonstrators to promote solidarity and support. “I’ve never seen it this vocal before,” she said. “We’ve been doing this march for some time, and we’ve been silenced for too long. We just need support. We’re not asking anybody to give us anything. We’re just asking, ‘Can you open the door?’ And we can get it ourselves. That’s what it’s all about.” UNA-NJ Director Ana Paola described the march as “just a beginning of joint action for full immigrant rights in Princeton and nationwide.” She continued, “No more halfmeasures and empty promises

are acceptable for 12 million undocumented workers who have been living in and subsidizing the United States for years after fleeing their own countries.” The marchers’ demands also included the closure of all detention centers nationwide, the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), papers for all, and work authorization for all who have worked during the pandemic, along with addressing other urgent needs of immigrants and working class residents. In addition to ULA-NJ, the march was supported by a diverse group of organizations from across the state as well as local groups, including Princeton Mutual Aid, Princeton Anti-Austerity Coalition, and Princeton Graduate Students United. On May 3, just two days after May Day, President Joe Biden, whose policies on immigration and immigrants had come under fire from Democrats and various immigration advocates, announced a policy reversal that would increase to 62,500, from the Trump Administration’s limit of 15,000, the number of refugees allowed to enter the United States during the next six months. —Donald Gilpin

Trenton-Mercer Airport Plan Hughes said. “As we emerge recorded, and posted on the Advances to Public Review from the coronavirus crisis, terminal project website,

T h e Fe d e r a l Av i a t i o n Administration ( FAA) has c l e a r e d Tr e n to n - M e r c e r Airport to release its draft Environmental Assessment ( EA) document for public review, the next milestone in a multi-step process required by the FAA for Mercer County to move forward with its plan for a new passenger terminal facility at the nearly century-old airport in Ewing, announced Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. Hughes proposes replacing the old four-gate terminal, which was built in the 1970s, with a new, modern four-gate terminal on the grounds where the airport fire station is currently located, and relocating the firehouse elsewhere on airport property. There is no plan or proposal for new or longer runways, and the airport size would remain exactly as it is today. The purpose of a new terminal is to better accommodate the existing airport users and to meet forecasted demands to the year 2035. A new terminal would address the needs of all aspects of airport functions such as baggage handling, Tra nsp or t at ion S e cu r it y Administration (TSA) and the airlines, along with customer comforts such as concessions, waiting areas and restrooms. “The existing terminal at Trenton-Mercer Airport is one-third the size it should be for the number of travelers currently using it,”

we expect an increasing demand for leisure travel, and nationwide and at TrentonMercer we are seeing airlines adding new flights and reviving old ones.” The EA process is governed by the FAA and requires a public comment period and a hearing for the public. The purpose of the EA is to evaluate the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of the terminal project, and to look for ways to minimize or avoid potential impacts. The development of the proposed new terminal was arrived at by analyzing several terminal building alternatives along with a no-action alternative as they relate to environmental, social and economic impacts. “Look, we’ve read the reviews on Trenton-Mercer Airport, and while people rave about the ease and convenience, the terminal building gets low marks for being ‘small, cramped, uncomfortable and primitive,’” Mr. Hughes said. “Add to that the physical distancing requirements for COVID-19, it further illustrates to us just how small the terminal space is in relation to the number of people awaiting to board their flight.” The public is encouraged to participate in the 30-day Public Review process, which has begun and which will be advertised in local media and on the county’s website. After the 30-day Public Review, Mercer County will schedule a two-hour Public Hearing, which will be held virtually,

TTNTerminal.com. The review of the plan allows the public to formulate comments for the public hearing. The public can view the draft EA on the TTNTerminal.com website in pdf format or in person at various locations to be determined. The locations will be listed on the website. The meeting notification will be posted on social media and the Mercer County website, mercercounty.org.

Police Blotter On April 29, at 10 :25 a.m., a resident of Redding Circle reported that, on two separate occasions, she saw her neighbor place his dog on her vehicle and encourage it to scratch and dig, causing $500 worth of damage to the vehicle. On April 27, at 9:26 a.m., a woman reported that the hood of her vehicle was scratched twice while it was parked in a parking lot on Herrontown Road while she was working. The damage is estimated at $500. On April 23, at 1:37 p.m., an employee of a store on Nassau Street reported that an unknown male stole four newspapers from outside the shop at about 4:30 a.m. on April 20. The suspect was reported to have stolen newspapers in the recent past from the same store. The value of the stolen papers was $20.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the day of science, the participants will be able to watch live and videotaped science demonst rat ions, talk to women working in STEM fields, and listen to a talk by a prominent female scientist. The idea behind the conference is to spark girls’ interest in science and to combat statistics that show women s t ill lagg ing far behind men in the STEM fields. Though 58 percent of all bachelor’s degrees are earned by women, they earn only 36 percent of bachelor’s degrees in the STEM fields. According to the National Science Foundation, women represent only 26 percent of computer and mathematical science occupations and only 13 percent of engineers. The event is free and open to both individual seventh to

tenth graders and to teachers w ith groups of girls from schools. Registration is available on the Young Women’s Conference website at pppl.gov. The online conference, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Fusion Energ y S ciences prog ram, will follow the live events, with girls making their way through booths; stopping to see a chemistry show by Kathryn Wagner, a lecturer, demonstrator, and outreach director in chemistr y at Princeton University; and talking to female scientists and engineers in breakout rooms. The event will culminate with a keynote speech by Stephanie Diem, a professor in the Engineering Physics Department at the University of WisconsinMadison and a former research scientist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the Fusion Energy Division. More than a dozen exhibitors will have displays at virtual booths, including plasma demonstrations by PPPL’s science education staff; demonstrations by forensics experts from the F.B.I.; a live artificial intelligence presentation by TechGirls; and science

Once more, the Princeton Administrator Association ( PA A), the Princeton Regional Educator’s Association (PREA), and the Princeton Regional Educational Support Staff Association (PRESSA) have teamed up to help the greater Mercer County Community. On Friday, May 7 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., they are holding a food drive to benefit Arm In Arm (formerly the Crisis Ministry of Mercer County). Donations can be dropped off at the tent on the corner of Walnut and Houghton. They are taking food donations during this time, but the first 100 donations will receive a free Princeton Perks Card to support PPS PTO and local businesses. Non-perishable foodstuffs only. No glass containers. Low-fructose and low sodium foods. This event is made possible through both NJEA

Making Moments of Joy

Presented by Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, Owner and CEO of Positive Approach to Care®, and nationally renowned Dementia Care Expert

This session is designed to help caregivers recognize and appreciate their role in creating days that are filled with moments of joy and meaningful activities when caring for someone with dementia. We will focus on helping you become more aware of how important your attitude and behavior are in determining the reactions and behaviors of the person you are caring for. Self-awareness and selfassessment will be used to help caregivers acknowledge their own status and emotional state. We will also discuss the importance of recognizing “burn out” and stress to help you determine if you are able to find or create moments of joy or if you may need assistance with respite care and time away to rest and re-establish relationships that allow joy to be part of the day.

Encouraging All to Enjoy PU Art Museum Installations Around Town

To the Editor: The Princeton University Art Museum and various commercial property owners have given us a wonderful gift of really well-produced images from the museum’s rich and diverse collection. That is no small effort and is a great bridge for the economic changes in the retail sector (beginning before the pandemic) and the construction period during which the museum will be closed. The museum is such a great local asset. I hope everyone takes a moment and looks around at the installations on Palmer Square and the Princeton Shopping Center. DAVID SCHURE Stockton Street

Move to Battery-Powered Leaf Blowers Needs To Be Accompanied By Noise Level Standard

To the Editor: As the poet once said, spring is sprung — the birdies sing, the air is fresh, the sun is at last warming fast. Well, a nice thought. In today’s world, spring also marks the return of deafening noise and stinky, unhealthy emissions that go with lawn care. We all understand that one wants a pleasant and tranquil way of enjoying one’s property. Caring for our yards is always going to be a necessary thing. However, we need an ordinance aimed at improving our environment by ensuring that lawn care becomes quieter and cleaner. As has been recorded many times before, the back-pack two-stroke leaf blower produces noise and benzine-soaked fumes way out of proportion to its size. There is also a great deal of inappropriate use and it has become yearround. They are routinely observed roaring away moving minor bits of debris (grass clippings, twigs, street garbage) into a neat pile. Often this kind of clearing simply blows clouds of dirt and dust into the atmosphere. The job could be done faster and cleaner with a broom and a shovel. Note too, industrial sized mowers, better suited to lawns on huge acres of corporate campuses, are routinely used on the quarter to half acre lots of most of the homes in our town. On the face of it, the four-stroke engine typical of these machines is “cleaner,” even less noisy. But their size alone guarantees increased noise and emissions compared to more appropriately sized push mowers. Industrial mowers need to be included in any ordinance The largely agreed upon answer to the problem is to go electric, which unquestionably kills emissions. Noise is a more murky proposition. I myself own an electric leaf blower which I have not used in years, because its highpitched whine is near as bad as the noise from a two-stroke blower. A move to cordless battery-powered machines must be accompanied by a noise level standard. ROBERT HEBDITCH Hickory Court

Foreign Service Day Honors U.S. Active-Duty and Retired Members

To the Editor: As a retired member of the U.S. Foreign Service, I was proud to represent America in three countries over my 20 years of service. I write this in advance of Foreign Service Day on May 7, a day designated by Congress to honor our active-duty and retired members of the Foreign Service. The past year of devastation and uncertainty has been difficult for everyone. This includes members of our Foreign Service who have remained on the front lines throughout the pandemic, working to bring more than 100,000 Americans home safely and continuing to protect and serve America’s interests abroad. Diplomacy, development and security is the Foreign Service’s first line of defense, neutralizing issues before they become threats to Americans. This year has demonstrated the need for increased global engagement and the importance of U.S. global leadership. LINDA SIPPRELLE Victoria Mews

Former Councilman Supports Newlin, Niedergang for Princeton Council

To the Editor: How lucky we are to have two great candidates running for Princeton Council this election cycle. We have the incumbent, Councilwoman Eve Niedergang, who has shown us how caring she is about many important topics. I know that Councilwoman Niedergang provided the residents of this great town the opportunity to see her work and help the community through many difficult issues. After serving 15 years as an elected Princeton Councilman, I know the many hours you must be able to provide the town. It takes time, energy and perseverance to become a strong and accepted Councilperson. It is my pleasure to introduce to some of the residents of Princeton our future Councilman, Leighton Newlin. I have known Leighton for over 40 years; and I respect him and his decision making skills. We are going through very serious times with our elected leaders in this country. Just look around and see the questionable and non-caring behavior exhibited by so many elected officials. This will change with Leighton Newlin in office. The caring and support

Small Business Owner Expresses Thanks for Support of Loyal Clients

To the Editor: I want to take a moment to share my experience as the small business owner of Gratitude Yoga in downtown Princeton. From the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic our loyal following has supported us throughout our shift to a user-friendly, cost effective virtual studio. We want to thank all of our clients who have stayed with us and the many people who have encouraged us as we navigated this unprecedented time. We are so grateful to all of you. We hope to continue to offer yoga and meditation in a warm and uplifting atmosphere, and to flourish as a compassionate yoga community in this ever-changing landscape.

Thanks to Those Who Bought Princeton Perks Cards; Now it’s Time to Shop Local

To the Editor: We, Community Park School parents, would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who purchased a Princeton Perks discount card over the past months. Back in December 2020, a CP parent had the bright idea to create the Princeton Perks card, which entitles holders to special deals at some 80 local restaurants, shops, and services throughout 2021, to help fill a fundraising gap felt by parent teacher organizations everywhere this year. We hoped to also drum up traffic for many of our favorite establishments. Thanks to you, nearly 1,500 Perks cards are now in circulation around town, and the parent teacher organizations of Princeton’s public and charter schools raised a combined $17,500. While the idea may have germinated at CP, it was a collaborative effort from the start. We could not have launched the card without the help of parents from Littlebrook, Riverside, and Johnson Park elementaries. And we’re equally indebted to parents at Princeton Charter School, Princeton Unified Middle School, and Princeton High School, who added their energy and ideas as the program expanded. It was a true delight to work together and we hope this is just the start of a new era of cooperation among our schools. We also sincerely thank those businesses who, without hesitation, stepped up to take part in the program. The list of participating businesses grew organically from our personal networks, and new ones continue to join every week. It’s free for any local business to participate. Visit princetonperks.com for the latest list of businesses and their discount offers. (And for those Princetonians who didn’t hear about the program till now — we’re sorry we missed you! We hope this will be an annual fundraiser and that we can offer a new card for 2022.) Now that New Jersey is reopening after this long pandemic winter, please don’t put your Princeton Perks card in a drawer! And if you’ve hesitated to use your card

because you think you’re helping businesses by not taking a discount, please don’t hold back. None of these businesses would have joined if they didn’t want you to use the discount. Instead, your card should be a reason to patronize your favorite places even more frequently, or to splurge on a more expensive item, or to try someplace new. Get out and shop and eat and enjoy! Many thanks again for our town’s continued commitment to public schools and local businesses during these unprecedented times.

for everyone will begin on Leighton’s first day in office. Leighton has served as chairperson of Princeton Housing Authority for over 20 years. Leighton has been serving the Witherspoon-Jackson community for many years; and his help with the historic designation for the WitherspoonJackson neighborhood was simply amazing. This is difficult for me to put into words, but every Council needs a person that has strong passion and love for the community. This is a councilperson that will question and ask what will these ordinances and rules do for the average person trying to survive in Princeton. I cannot explain the seriousness of this position on Council. Leighton Newlin will be that Councilperson. Leighton will have our interest at heart. Leighton will ask questions. Leighton will represent everyone. Please vote for Leighton Newlin and Eve Niedergang! LANCE LIVERMAN Former Councilman Witherspoon Street

book/film Review

Sun, Moon, and Cinema: Celebrating Satyajit Ray at 100 I loved them for what they entertain, and then later loved them for what they taught. —Satyajit Ray (1921-1992), on American films unday, May 2, marked the 100th birthday of the Indian film director Satyajit Ray, who was presented with an honorary Oscar at the 1992 Academy Awards “in recognition of his rare mastery of the art of motion pictures, and of his profound humanitarian outlook, which has had an indelible influence on filmmakers and audiences throughout the world.” Videotaped as he lay in a Calcutta hospital three weeks before his death, the golden statuette clutched in one hand, Ray’s acceptance speech was direct, open, and down to earth, in contrast to the lofty rhetoric of the citation: “When I was a small, small school boy, I was terribly interested in the cinema. Became a film fan, wrote to Deanna Durbin. Got a reply, was delighted. Wrote to Ginger Rogers, didn’t get a reply. Then of course, I got interested in the cinema as an art form, and I wrote a twelve-page letter to Billy Wilder after seeing Double Indemnity. He didn’t reply either. Well, there you are. I have learned everything I’ve learned about the craft of cinema from the making of American films. I’ve been watching American films very carefully over the years and I loved them for what they entertain, and then later loved them for what they taught.” The Only Truth Last week the New York Times brought images from India’s pandemic nightmare to the breakfast table, vistas of funeral pyres burning in New Delhi and headlines like “Death Is the Only Truth” over Aman Sethi’s April 30 account of the mass cremations in Ghazipur. At the same time, my wife and I were watching the life and death truths at the heart of Ray’s Apu Trilogy: Pather Panchali (1955), Aparajito (1957), and The World of Apu/Apur Sansa (1959), films of which Ray’s fellow director Akira Kurosawa has said, “Not to have seen the cinema of Satyajit Ray means existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon.” A Touch of India My own variation on Kurosawa’s sun/ moon paradigm would be “Not to have seen India,” more specifically not to have spent half a year there in my mid-twenties. Ray’s death bed remarks about his love of American movies remind me of the curious effect the Indian mystique had on my response to An Affair to Remember, the Cary Grant-Deborah Kerr romance I’d gone out of my way to avoid in the States. When I saw it at the Regal in New Delhi, however, that laughably improbable love story became so improbably delightful to me and my equally cynical friend that we actually tried to sneak in to see it again, only to be summarily ejected.

S

I’d like to think the Bengali schoolboy who wrote a fan letter to Deanna Durbin would be okay with me discussing Leo McCarey’s big bright 1957 CinemaScope romance in the same paragraph with The World of Apu. The Hollywood storyline has Grant and Kerr meeting on a cruise ship, falling in love and planning a rendezvous on the top of the Empire State Building, a meeting that Kerr misses when she’s struck by a cab as she crosses 34th Street. A no less improbable turn of events in Ray’s masterpiece has Soumitra Chatterji’s Apu saving the day by nobly stepping in to marr y Sharmila Tagore’s Aparna when the groom goes mad, because according to t h e a r r a n g e d wedding commandments, if Aparna isn’t married within the allotted time, she becomes officially and forever unmarriageable. What happens after the couple begins married life in Apu’s small, untidy Calcutta flat is a moving example of what Kurosawa had in mind when he put Ray’s cinema up there with the sun and the moon. An Affair to Remember goes over the top and into La La Land when the lovers finally find each other after a series of sublimely ridiculous coincidences ; when he asks her about the accident, how could it happen, her answer warranted a spot on AFI’s list of the top 100 movie quotes: “Oh, it was nobody’s fault but my own. I was looking up. It was the nearest thing to heaven. You were there.” Joy and Sorrow In Robin Wood’s monograph on The Apu Trilogy (Praeger 1971), he quotes novelist T.F. Powys: “In every good book a light shines that compels the reader to be joyful” — a light that Wood sees shining “with uncommon strength and consistency” in Ray’s films, “even as they evoke in us the profoundest sense of sorrow,” at the same time compelling us “to be

joyful.” For Wood, the essence of Ray’s humanism is that while watching Pather Panchali or The World of Apu, “one feels in the presence of an exceptionally kind, generous, warm and sympathetic human being. If Apu is an ‘everyman’ figure, it is in the sense that he embodies what is finest in universal human potentiality: he is ourselves.” Song of the Little Road When I saw Pather Panchali a few days ago after a hiatus of at least 30 years, Ravi Shankar’s score was a revelation. I’d forgotten how much his music had to do with my first response, at 19. Slow to adjust to the laid back pace of the film, squirming in my seat, mind wandering, put off by the presence of Auntie, a toot h less old hag shoving food into her mouth with both hands — François Tr u f f a u t w a l ke d out of a showing at Cannes 1956 saying “I don’t want to watch a movie of peasants eating with their hands” — I was car r ied along by Shankar’s music. The sinuous fusing of sitar, shenai, flute, and tabla sustained and enriched the mood and kept my mind from wandering. Imagine being v ir t ually new to this rich, strange music, d is covering and yet discovered by the sounds we av ing melo d i ously rou nd t he corners and contours the camera was tracing, so fluent, so stirringly in harmony with light and motion, that you finally seem to feel it coming for you, lifting you up, making you aware of something larger than yourself, and more powerful, and yet somehow more wondrously, intimately close to the core of your own experience, the child in you — which happens when brother and sister, Apu and Durga, are playing, and you’re suddenly awake to their world, running along beside them, drawn into the childhood euphoria of poetry and mystery, fun and mischief, as they quarrel

and make up after she forgives him for raiding her cache of treasures to fashion a tinfoil headband for himself, Apu’s first incarnation as Krishna, the role he plays in the eyes of Aparna’s mother when he saves the wedding day. And I had absolutely no interest in India at that age. I was in thrall to the postwar Vienna of The Third Man and Fellini’s Italy. I wasn’t even aware that Pather Panchali in English was Song of the Little Road. My destiny was being spelled out for me and I didn’t have a clue. And when the music stopped! After being led along by the pied piper pipings of Ravi Shankar’s score, suddenly the children are out in a field, no sound but the air moving through a world of grass higher than they are (Woods refers to “the pliant beauty” of the “white, sensuous grasses”) and now there’s a strange sound, an eerie humming. Durga hears it first, she’s a head taller than her brother, turning this way and that, she spots a pylon humming with electricity. She approaches it, puts her ear to it, this alien object suggesting another world, the big city, Apu’s destiny, Calcutta. Now they’re both looking warily around them, as if sensing the stirring of something dangerous. Then they hear a sound they both know, but only as a sound, now they can see the train chugging along the horizon under puffs of black smoke, and they’re running toward it, hoping for a closer look at this new thing under the sun. Apu is running toward his future, his fate. But Ray doesn’t give us the moment we’re expecting, a close-up of Apu or of both children watching the train, seeing it, experiencing it. Suddenly the train is everything, a mass of black noise, we’re on the other side of the tracks, and for a few seconds it’s as if the children have been consumed by the thunder of its passing. Wood thinks this is the director’s way of making us bring to the moment “our own adult experience of ‘progress’ and technology and cities; the train obliterates the landscape and shatters serenity; Apu becomes a tiny, frail figure dwarfed to insignificance.” oming back to the West from India, you may find yourself struggling for ways to express the magnitude of the experience, the impact of those moments when, for better or worse, India lowers the boom and leaves you feeling “dwarfed to insignificance.” Being in India, imagining India, even at a time as dark as the present, you can trust Kurosawa’s words about sun and moon and cinema, which are quoted at the top of the Criterion Channel’s May presentation, “Satyajit Ray at 100,” featuring 17 of Ray’s best films. —Stuart Mitchner

Princeton Symphony Orchestra Continues Series with South African String Ensemble

P

r i n ce ton S y mphony O rch e s t ra launched its penultimate online concert collaboration with South Africa’s Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble this past Friday with a virtual program of music for strings, harp, and solo voices. In a performance entitled “Curious Creatures and a Heavenly Harp,” the Soweto string orchestra, led by conductor Rosemary Nalden, performed music featuring both their own soloists and a well-known South African harpist. Seventeenth-century Italian composer Carlo Farina studied with some of the Baroque era’s leading composers. Considered one of the earliest v iolin v ir tuosos, Farina contributed significantly to violin pedagogy, especially through such works as the 1627 Capriccio Stravagante. This multi-section work called upon violins, violas, and cellos to mimic other instruments, as well as animals. These types of humorous works were not uncommon in the 17th century, and the Buskaid ensemble approached Farina’s piece with a refreshing playing style and easily finding the humor. In a rebroadcast from a 2018 concert, the musicians played triple meter sections especially gracefully, and the musical imitations of chickens clucking and cats yowling were particularly effective. French composer Claude Debussy came to the musical forefront as France was emerging from the 19 th -century dominant Austro-German school. French composers of this era drew from art and their own language to infuse music with a wide range of instrumental colors, sinuous harmonies, and phrasing that mimicked the cadences of the native tongue. Debussy’s 1904 Danse sacrée et danse profane for solo harp and strings was commissioned by a French harp-building firm to showcase a newly-designed instrument. The sacrée portion of this work reflected ancient religious beliefs, with the second half of the piece inspired by the improvisatory style of Spanish dances. Featured in this performance by the Buskaid ensemble was harpist Jude Harpstar, whose performing career has crossed genres ranging from classical to pop. In a rebroadcast from a 2016 performance, Harpstar played with elegance, even when the music called for sharp and decisive harp passages. Conductor Nalden consistently maintained a subtle string accompaniment, with the second section of the piece particularly evoking spring in Paris. As with all of these expertly-recorded concerts, one could easily see the supple fingering of the soloist on the harp, as well as Harpstar’s expressive playing. Angela Morley’s Reverie for solo violin and orchestra also conjured a French atmosphere, with an extremely melodic solo violin part sensitively played by Buskaid violinist Mzwandile Twala. Without using excessive vibrato, Twala well handled the long melodic lines, as orchestra and soloist ended the piece peacefully. Twala was joined by double bassist Daluxolo

Mqwathi in a performance drawn from 2017 of Fritz Kreisler’s Praeludium and Allegro, in the style of Pugnani. Gaetano Pugnani was an 18th -century Italian violinist and composer, and Kreisler’s work began in a straight-forward manner, with the solo violin part showing shades of J.S. Bach’s solo instrumental partitas. Twala maneuvered well through the sequential passages, including executing a fastplaying cadenza, and then moved across the stage to join Mqwathi as the piece morphed into free-form jazz for the two instruments. Mqwathi demonstrated solid command of the double bass and jazz style, and Twala gave a musical preview of a real future as a concert violinist. Felix Mendelssohn composed String Symphony No. 10 in B Minor at the age of 14, with the music showing both classical roots and the graceful melodies for which the composer was most wellknown. In a performance rebroadcast from 2019, the Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble maintained an introspective character in the opening “Adagio,” moving well through precise and decisive scales in the subsequent “Allegro.” The closing “Più presto” was expertly played, with effective dynamic contrasts in repeated passages. The Buskaid ensemble turned its attention to more popular genres in the closing portion of the concert, with music of American songwriters Johnny Green and Burt Bacharach. Buskaid member Mathapelo Matabane sang Green’s “Body and Soul” with a rich alto voice, pouring her heart into the music and accompanied by six string players. An improvisatory violin solo from Mzwandile Twala added to the slow jazz feel of the song. Cecelia Manyama, also a member of Buskaid, brought the Bacharach-Hal David classic “I Say a Little Prayer for You” to life with a saucy vocal style, accompanied by full string ensemble. Manyama was featured again in a selection from a 2014 concert of the traditional Zulu song “Noyama,” which asks the daily prayer “Are you going to Heaven?” Accompanied by strings, Manyama and the orchestra brought out the uplifting nature of the music through singing, playing, and movement. It was also fitting that some of Buskaid’s younger players were included in the ensemble, showing the organization’s pathway from training to performance. riday night’s virtual concert closed with a kwela instrumental piece heard previously in these broadcasts: Marks Mankwane’s Marks’ Special. Complete with street whistles and fast playing, this work is from a tradition of music which is not notated but passed on to younger players through visual and aural transmission. The joyous nature of the music was well apparent in the performance by the Buskaid ensemble, closing the concert with an inspiring message of musical hope for South Africa’s musical future. —Nancy Plum

Performing Arts Princeton Dance Theatre Co-Founder Departing For New Chapter in Florida After 18 years of teaching, choreographing, coaching, and running Princeton Dance Theatre (PDT) and Princeton Youth Ballet ( PYB ), Risa Kaplowitz is moving on. Kaplowitz, who co-founded the Forrestal Village studio with former American Ballet Theatre (ABT) principal dancer Susan Jaffe, recently announced that she is moving to Sarasota, Florida, where she will join the faculty of the Sarasota Ballet’s Margaret Barbieri Conservatory. PDT and PYB will continue under the leadership of Talin Kenar, currently the executive director of PYB. “Talin is perfectly poised to carry on what I started and will take it beyond,” Kaplowitz said this week. “I wouldn’t have left if I hadn’t been sure of that.” While PDT is focused on training; PYB is centered on performing. Running them both eventually took a toll. “It was seven days a week for 18 years,” Kaplowitz said. “As gratifying as it was, I was beginning to feel my age. My husband has always wanted to live in Florida, but I never wanted to — until we discovered Sarasota. There is so much culture there, it’s just incredible.” The Sarasota Ballet Company is known for its performances of ballets by Sir Frederick Ashton, a choreographer whose style Kaplowitz knows from her own performing career. She danced

w it h t he Day ton B allet, Houston Ballet, and other companies before transitioning to a business career and having two children. When the family moved to West Windsor, Kaplowitz began looking for a ballet school for her daughter, Adrienne. “I couldn’t find one that gave me the same level of comfort that I had at the Maryland Youth Ballet, where I was trained,” she said. “It was serious study, but very warm, and we were like a family. That’s what I wanted.” Kaplowitz and Jaffe had been classmates at the Maryland Youth Ballet. Jaffe was about to retire after a successful career at ABT. The two former colleagues cofounded PDT, w ith Jaffe commuting from New York. She eventually moved on, but returned frequently to teach and coach. She is currently the artistic director of the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. “Susan leaving was a scary moment,” Kaplowitz said. “It took a lot of courage for me to say, ‘What we started was strong and it’s okay that just one of us is here now.’ And a lot of the reason I knew it would be okay was the ABT national training curriculum, which we follow. It is growing so many strong and versatile dancers that it doesn’t really matter so much who is at the helm.” The ABT curriculum

incorporates elements of the French, Italian, and Russian schools of ballet training. “Susan was in the first class they offered, and she came back to me and said, ‘This is a game changer because we can get all of our teachers on the same page,’ ” said Kaplowitz. “It can be very confusing for younger dancers when different teachers tell them different ways to do things. Eventually, all of our teachers got certified. The level of consistency was something that was evident very quickly.” Among the dancers Kaplowitz has trained for professional careers are Max Azaro, with Ballet Austin; Jillian Davis, with Complexions Contemporary Ballet; and Frances Forcella, with Ballet X. “The other thing that makes me proud is that we’ve had seven go on to Princeton University,” she said. “They submitted their dance videos, from their work with PYB.” Over the years, Kaplowitz choreographed The Secret Garden, The Sleep ing Beauty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and other ballets, which are performed at Princeton High Schools’s Per for m ing A r ts Center. They will continue to be presented twice a year. “I intend to come back to every performance I can,” Kaplowitz said. She will stay through the annual Summer Intensive, and leave for Sarasota at the end of August. “The most important thing for me is knowing that PDT and PYB are being left in good hands, and will continue to grow,” she said. “This is my baby, and it has to move on.” —Anne Levin

“CANDID IN MAY”: Works by Princeton-based artist Makoto Fujimura are on view at Morpeth Contemporary in Hopewell through May 31. An artist reception, by appointment only, is Saturday, May 8 from 5 to 8 p.m. meaning, as the artist puts century. His art has been “Candid in May” on View At Morpeth Contemporary it, that they are both slow to exhibited in many galleries

Morpeth Contemporary, at 43 West Broad Street, Hopewell, now presents works by internationallyrenowned, Princeton-based ar t ist Makoto Fujimura. Entitled “Candid in May,” the exhibition contains Nihonga paintings and prints emblematic of the deep exploration that has made Fujimura a leader in a cultural movement that bridges art and faith. Nihonga — literally meaning “Japanese painting”— was developed in about 1900 to differentiate Japanese works from Western style paintings. It is a water-based medium that is often characterized by its materials, including natural pigments derived from minerals, shells, corals, and even semi-precious stones; metals like gold and silver leaf; and the use of “sumi” ink, wood, silk, and paper. As described by Fujimura, it is also characterized by the time it takes to create — from pulverizing materials into millions of sand-like pigments to waiting for each of up to 100 layers to dry before painting the next. Fujimura’s Nihonga works have been described by David Brooks of the New York Times as “a small rebellion against the quickening of time.” They are “slow art,”

make, and slow to perceive. “It takes time,” Fujimura says, “for the eyes to see the refracted and prismatic light in the pictures.” The exhibition contains works born of the nature that surrounds his Princeton farmhouse and studio – from flowers, trees, and birds. Its name, “Candid in May,” is inspired by Fujimura’s admiration for the poet Emily Dickinson : “ [ She ] acutely observed a singular, momentary event, only seconds long, and she expanded that glimpse of that micro-experience into a vast adventure. This is the nature of the poetic gift — the poet takes a quick glance, a moment most of us would not even see, and expands it to a cosmic level of significance.” Fujimura’s works are such moments. They are expanded glimpses, in his case, of a spiritual process that bridges imperfection and beauty, brokenness, and healing. Fujimura, who graduated from Bucknell University in 1983, received his MFA in 1989 from Tokyo University of Fine Arts, then spent three years in a doctorate program in Nihonga. He was the first non-Japanese citizen to participate in the Japanese Painting Doctorate Program, which can be traced back to the 15th

and museums around the world. Fujimura’s journey of faith is recounted in his books: Silence and Beauty, and Art + Faith. The exhibition runs through May 31. An artist reception is Saturday, May 8 from 5 to 8 p.m., by appointment only to safely observe occupant limits during COVID. To attend the reception, register via the website at morpethcontemporary.com/ exhibitions, or contact the gallery at (609) 333-9393. Viewing hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., no appointment necessary. Ficus-Bon Vivant Hosts

on simple barter systems, under-the-table-payments, e-commerce and illicit industries. “We are pleased to offer the public this exhibit that combines data journalism, storytelling, and photography from Brass Rabbit,” said Michael Chovan-Dalton, director of the JKC Gallery. “The Greyscale Economics Project brings a revealing and first-person perspective to the underground economy and its social structure.” Bending between playful imagery and hard truth, Rabbit unearths differing perspectives that one may not encounter in an everyday world. She explained, “I am endlessly fascinated by money and its interwoven role in social organization. I create to answer my own questions on the social and political attitudes of my fellow Americans, attempting to find common ground beneath the many layers that separate my exper ience from my country and my people.” Rabbit’s works are held in several private collections and have been shown in regional and international galler ie s and mus eu ms. The artist got her start as a creator in documentary photography — capturing the home lives of gang members, as well as individuals involved in illicit economies along the east coast of the United States. More about Brass Rabbit can be found at brass-rabbit. com. Gallery hours are Mondays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 137 North Broad Street in Trenton by appointment.

Artis Senior Living

Memory Care guided by positivity, purpose, and passion. As we look back over our lives, it’s our experiences that define who we are. While dementia may slowly erode a person’s memories and cognitive skills, the core of a person’s identity and passions remain and the ability to be genuinely happy and purposeful in the moment are ever-present. So, when it comes to memory care in a community setting, the delivery of daily care must be as one-of-a-kind as the people receiving it. That’s the foundation of The Artis Way — the unwavering philosophy of Artis Senior Living, which offers a refreshingly different approach to memory care. “When you change the way you operate from ‘we can’t do t hat ! ’ to ‘why not?,’ amazing things happen!” Artis care partners collaborate with families to learn every detail about their residents to find opportunities for meaningful experiences as often as possible. When presented with a request from residents or families, instead of saying “no,” Artis care partners say, “why not?” They really try to give people back the aspects of them that their families thought were gone for good. We are thankful for our Artis care team, who genuinely loves to make the seemingly impossible possible and prides itself on the moments they’ve been able to create for memory care residents and their families. Care partners at Artis ensure that the disease doesn’t define a person, their indomitable spirit does. For more information on Memory Care the Artis Way, go to TheAr tisWay.com / TownTopics.

BORO Market | Restaurant | Bar in Pennington Offers Variety of Dining Choices in Exciting Setting

S

omething special is waiting for you at 147 West Delaware Avenue in Pennington! Visitors to BORO Market | Restaurant | Bar will find an exciting dining experience in an intriguing setting, unlike anything else in the area. Opened last December, it is the product of both the experience and imagination of owners and husband and wife team, Ben and Katie Sanford.

IT’S NEW To Us

“My wife and I have been in the restaurant business for more than 40 years combined between us, including in Robbinsville, Bordentown, Charleston, S.C., and Pennington,” explains Ben Sanford. “We’ve had Cugino’s Italian Market in Pennington for years, including at this location for the past five years. Having our own restaurant has always been our dream.” Inviting Combination The Sanfords have established an inviting combination of a restaurant and bar plus market/informal eatery, appealing to a variety of tastes. “We enjoy going out to eat, and we have taken bits and pieces of all the places we love, and tried to bring it all together in our establishment to share with others,” says Sanford. “I think people have been looking for something different, and we offer a ‘city vibe’ atmosphere, with unique decor, romantic lighting, hip background music, and an overall really different look and feel.” It certainly is a special setting, with a sleekly elegant, very contemporary m o t i f, fe a t u r i n g b l a c k , white, and stainless steel accoutrements. Three dining

sections f low seamlessly from the large main dining room to the market, which not only offers an assortment of take-home items, but light fare dining opportunities on site, as well. The market’s black-and-white subway tile walls and interesting light fixtures add an appealing optic. The L-shaped setting accommodates varied seating ar rangements, including traditional table settings for two and four in the main area, which segues to areas with high top tables and stools to customized table groupings in combination with a banquette. One area, known as the “Chef’s Tables,” affords a look into the kitchen as meal preparations take place. The restaurant and market’s design is the work of Katie Sanford, reports her husband. “Katie designed the entire establishment, and she calls the theme ‘Parisian Modern.’ She is not an official interior designer, but she has a real visual flair and feel for decor.” Outdoor Patio In addition, there is a delightful outdoor patio, newly landscaped, which can seat 15. Inside, full capacity offers room for 70 (including seating at the bar). All the COVID safety precautions and rules, with masks, social distancing, hand sanitizers, etc., are in place. The menu is as engaging as the atmosphere, offering a variety of choices, which Sanford describes as “New American.” “We decided to expand beyond Italian, which was our specialty at Cugino’s Italian Market,” he explains. “It’s really a variety of cuisines, including French, European, Asian, and American. We also offer a lot of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices, and we find that more and more people are focused on healthy eating.

609.730.4100

“We were also able to add the bar, which has been very popular. People are really enjoying the craft cocktails that Katie created — they are big favorites.” The concept of the market and the restaurant is an engaging aspect of the establishment. As Sanford points out, “We took a cue from Italy, with the idea of the market and restaurant together. The market includes a selection of items that you had enjoyed in the restaurant and then, if you want, you can take them home.” Light Fare In addition, the market offers light fare dining all day — from breakfast through dinner. Seating is available, and everything from breakfast sandwiches, avocado toasts, salads and sandwiches of all kinds, pizza, coffee, tea, and bottled beverages, are all available, as well as beer and wine. Ready-to-go items include assorted homemade soups and sauces, fresh pasta, charcuter ie items, f resh sausage, prosciutto, cacciatorini, and soppressata, among others. Olives and a variety of cheeses are available, as is an assortment of breads and desserts, such as cheesecake, mini cannolis, tiramisu cups, German chocolate brow nies, and sfogliatella, among others. The restaurant brings intimacy and sophistication to life. Candle lit tables and dimly lit dining rooms complement the high quality steak, seafood, pasta, and small plates offered to diners. “Our food is tastefully prepared. We put together very special, high quality ingredients,” notes Sanford. “Our chef, Jason Santillo, is an expert at executing exciting, delicious dishes.” Special customer favorites include small plates, such as a charcuterie with prosciutto de parma, cacciatorini, bresaola, rosette de Lyon, caper

DISTINCTIVE DINING: “We are set apart by our overall approach and ability to achieve a special refinement. We emphasize quality and a unique and exciting ambiance.” Ben Sanford and his wife Katie, owners of BORO Market | Restaurant | Bar in Pennington, look forward to introducing more customers to their intriguing new restaurant and market. Shown is the elegant main dining room and bar. berry, and grain mustard. Another popular small plate is crispy chicken, featuring honey and Calabrian chili, chicory slaw, and scallion. Calamari, goat cheese croquettes, and mussels and cockles are other popular small plates. Salads of all kinds are offered, with a BORO rendition of the iceberg wedge, including bacon, avocado, roasted heirloom tomato, pickled onion, and housemade truffle bleu cheese a special favorite. Main Dishes Pasta dishes feature house-made cavatelli, with truffle short rib ragu; also, pappardelle with shrimp, tomato, Calabr ian chili, crushed olives, and spiced mollica. Both are highlights. Always in demand are main dishes such as Frenched chicken breast, w it h br a i s e d r ad i c ch io ; grass-fed New Zealand rib eye steak; and a Berkshire pork chop, with fig, caper berry, vinegar, and brown sugar pan sauce; along with the restaurant’s very popular 10-ounce brisket burger, including local cheddar, caramelized onions, pickles,

iceberg lettuce, and house sauce on a sesame bun. Pomme frites with manchego, smoked rosemary, and pomegranate ketchup; and crispy Brussels sprouts with fish sauce and pepitas are just two of the restaurant’s popular sides. The full line of beverages ranges from wine, beer, and cocktails to soft drinks, tea, and lots of coffees. Something for every coffee lover, including latte, espresso, cappuccino, macchiato, and more, is on the menu. Takeout is available, and catering is also an important part of the business. Options for any size and type of event are offered. Sandwich trays, appetizers, hors d’oeuvres, and antipasto to begin, followed by pasta, chicken, beef, pork, seafood, or vegan and gluten-free choices are all on the menu. And, of course, dessert! Breakfast Sandwiches Prices cover a range, with sandwiches and salads starting at $10 and $11 (breakfast sandwiches are $5), small plates from $9, pasta dishes and main dishes from $17. Ben and Katie Sanford are enthusiastic about the market and restaurant’s future. As more people become vaccinated, and COVID cases decrease, they see increasing numbers of customers all the time. “Every week, more and more people are coming. We enjoy providing an exciting and enjoyable experience for our guests. We have a strong emphasis on hospitality and offer a very

professional level of service. Customers can count on that.” Of course, any new venture has its challenges, and BORO Market | Restaurant | Bar is no exception. “The biggest challenge opening a new restaurant is the tremendous amount of time, work, and effort it takes to get it right and keep getting it right,” points out Sanford. “One of the chefs I used to work for would say, ‘You’re only as good as your last meal!’ It is very true, and we take nothing for granted. We work hard to keep our service, food, and overall location at an extremely high level day in and day out.” Also, he continues, “We look for ward to being a place where customers are regulars and come to share special events in their lives as well as date nights, and family meals.” Participating in and supporting the community are also important, he adds. “We have been a part of this community for more than a decade, and we have continually donated food, gift cards, and services to those who have asked. It is so important to give back.” he restaurant is open for dinner only, Thursday through Sunday, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Reser vations are suggested. Market hours are Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. No reservations necessary. (609) 730-4100. Website: boroeaterybar.com. —Jean Stratton

make everything we sell in our burger shop. We grow most ingredients for everything we make on our farm in Hopewell. Maria and I met in second grade of our elementar y school in what was then Czechoslovakia. The journey that followed has been b eyond i ntere s t i ng but, keeping things page-long, we ended up cooking some really interesting Central European comfort food, having three kids, and opening five restaurants in New York City. Over the years, we were always drawn to the culture, values, and agricultural riches of Central New Jersey. We were enthralled by the history and charm of the towns near the Delaware River. Honestly, they also reminded us of our original home. Communities with actual downtowns and people saying hello felt closer to the place we came from than the hustle of the big city we also love. Our kids grew up eating our burgers at Korzo, our first farm to table restaurant in Park Slope, Brooklyn. When we moved our family to Hopewell, we all immediately started “dreaming up” a local burger shop. We realize that “sourcing” is the ubiquitous word of the day, but the concept is actually quite simple for us. To have any real control over bringing good ingredients into the restaurant, we knew that we had to be a part of the entire process. The vegetables that make up our vegan burgers do not travel across the country, so you can taste them in the burger. On our farm, we also grow the alfalfa for the beef that is humanely raised by our

Located at 1010 Route 601 in Skillman, the shelter has the capacity to house upwards of 100 animals at a time (approximately 75 cats and 25 dogs). The number of adoptions is growing every year thanks to the new shelter, which hosts thousands of visitors every year. 2021 marks an exciting time in the history of SAVE, A Friend to Homeless Animals — 80 years of SAVE-ing the lives of homeless cats and dogs in the greater Princeton area and beyond. SAVE is currently open by appointment only for approved adopters. Please visit our website at savehomelessanimals.org to view all of our adoptable pets and complete the pet adoption application online. Adopt a shelter pet and save not one life, but two.

Former PHS Thrower Brennan Makes College Debut As PU Men’s Track Finally Up and Running in 2021

P

aul Brennan did not have to travel far to get to Princeton University, but he did have to wait a long time to begin his outdoor track and field career. Brennan, a 2019 graduate of Princeton High, was thrilled when the Tiger men’s track and field team was able to take advantage of reaching Phase 4 of the University’s COVID-19 protocols to return to play. Phase 4 allowed full competition, and Brennan and the PU men were able to compete in the Princeton Invitational on April 25 and at the Fast Times Before Finals at Rowan University on May 1. “It’s definitely exciting for all of our guys,” said Brennan. “At least for my class, we haven’t had any outdoor competitions. Our first collegiate outdoor competition was last weekend. We’re almost like freshmen coming in. We’ve been training for over a year and a half trying to prepare for a season.” The preparation paid off. At Rowan, sophomore Ibrahim Ayorinde ran 20.88 seconds to win the 200 meters in the second-fastest time in program history. Freshman Daniel Duncan was second in 21.06, the third-fastest time in school history. Duncan also recorded the third fastest time in program history in winning the 100 meters in 10.47 seconds after running a blazing 10.42 in the trials. Junior Taraje Whitfield won the 110 hurdles in 14.60 seconds and freshman William Doyle took the 400 in 48.05 seconds. Sophomore Ethan Reese set a new personal best of 1:51.69 for the 800 meters. Senior Kelton Chastulik won the shot put at 54’ 8½. “It’s a real testimony to the desire our guys have,” said Princeton men’s head coach Fred Samara. “I think it’s what sets apart our team from other teams we compete against. These guys are so close to one another and the team spirit they have. They don’t care where they are, they’re going to train hard and compete and light it up, which they’re doing.” Despite the topsy-turvy training over the last year, limited interaction on campus, and no outside competition ahead of time, the Tigers showed in a wave of performances just why the program is so excited to have its full team intact next year. Eighteen men took the

year off from school and several others are training on their own while they take classes remotely. Those on campus like Brennan have gotten back into the swing of things after students were able to return to campus for the second semester and went through the phases of return to play. “We’re training like we normally do, like we do any day any year,” said Samara. “It’s different for a team sport like lacrosse or an indoor sport like wrestling or basketball. They weren’t allowed to do a lot for a long time until they moved into Phase 3. And there is no Phase 4 for them because they’re out of season. We could hit the ground running. A lot of the guys are going to keep competing through May and June and over the summer. There are tons of meets and they can compete unattached. That’s what the guys are doing that are out of school or away from school. It’s pretty incredible what these guys are doing.” A group of athletes that are not currently on campus have excelled while training remotely. Robbie Otal threw 196’11 in the discus to qualify for the U.S. Olympic Trials. C.J. Licata threw 63’9 in shot put at the Ashland Alumni Open, the second farthest throw in Princeton history. Chandler Ault threw 228’8 in the javelin at the Don Kirby Tailwind Open, the third best throw in program history. Sondre Guttormsen has cleared an all-time Ivy best 18’10 in pole vault, and his brother Simen has cleared 17-11¾. Jeff Hollis has been training in Georgia to improve on his 7’2 high jump. Across the world, Ed Trippas won bronze in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Australian National Championships with a personal-best time of 8:31.09 that puts him closer to a chance to run for a spot on the Australian Olympic team. Another Australian, Duncan Miller, ran 3:43.89 for 1,500 meters to qualify for the national championships. Michael Phillippy ran 47.55 seconds for the 400, a personal best, at the Brian Clay Invitational in Azusa, Calif. Anthony Monte ran 14:00.78 at the John McDonnell Invitational in Arkansas on April 24. “We’re seeing so many of our guys put down great times because of their hard

work during the pandemic,” said Brennan. “So it really shows how well we persevered as a team and how strong we’re going to be next year.” Brennan threw 184’6½ for third place in the men’s hammer at Rowan. He threw 189’4 in his first collegiate meet – the Princeton Invitational. His top mark came on his first throw, and he’s still figuring out how good he can be. “The hammer is one of the most unique events in track and field for certain,” said Brennan. “I think it’s by far the hardest event technically of all the throwing events, maybe in the entire sport of track and field. I was drawn in originally by that. I kind of like the complexity of that. There’s always more room to grow and learn within the event. I think that spark and passion has gotten me going for it. And having the athleticism and body awareness from being a pretty good discus and shot put thrower in high school has also helped a lot.” The last time that Brennan was competing outdoors before two weeks ago, he was winning the New Jersey boys’ state title in discus and placing 10th in shot put. He has been enjoying diversifying his throwing portfolio. “Hammer is primarily what I train now,” said Brennan. “I’m throwing about five days a week, and in the discus I’m maybe two or three. Right now, I’m primarily a hammer thrower. I’m really excited to continue progressing in the sport and learning about the sport and hopefully throwing big PRs.” Brennan threw the hammer at the end of his final three high school seasons just to qualify for nationals in one more event. He has embraced it more since arriving at Princeton and shifted the focus of his training to his newest event. Samara saw potential in the hammer for Brennan. “He’s going to be good,” said Samara. “It’s important to develop hammer throwers on your team. It’s something that people don’t normally do that much. He had done some hammer in high school.” Since arriving at Princeton, Brennan has begun to work with Samara on the complexities of the hammer. Having a throwing background helped, and it

HAMMER TIME: Princeton University men’s track performer Paul Brennan displays his hammer throwing form in recent action. Sophomore Brennan, a former Princeton High standout, made his college debut this spring after the 2020 season was canceled due to the pandemic.

has taken off quicker than anticipated. “Coming into college, I didn’t expect myself to love hammer this much and develop a passion for it this early,” said Brennan. “But I’m really glad that I’ve done it. The pandemic had a big role to play in it. As soon as last season was over, I talked to Samara and said, I’m really going to give hammer a go and train through the summer and make sure I have a full season of training and focus on it. It definitely paid off. I’m in a better spot than I thought I’d be last year as we were exiting campus. I’m excited to keep progressing and keep learning. I think my upside is bigger than people think, and I think I’ll surprise a lot of people going forward.” Brennan took advantage of the proximity of his Cranbury home to Princeton’s campus to come over last summer to work out in their throwing circle. Not all the Princeton facilities were open then and Brennan is hopeful that he will have more access to training needs this summer. “I was a lot luckier where I had at least a facility to go to, and my dad also has a nice home gym so I was able to do work with that,” said Brennan. “I was definitely one of the more fortunate guys on the team in regards to a training situation during the summer. Fortunately I was able to train as hard as I wanted during the summer months. I found it extremely beneficial.” Other teammates found difficult challenges in sustaining their usual training

regimens while Princeton did not allow students on campus in the fall semester. Gyms around the country were closed, as were track facilities in many regions. “That made it really difficult for a lot of kids,” said Samara. “The kids it affected the least were the distance kids because they basically needed to get out on the roads and run and they weren’t stopped from doing that. For a thrower, a jumper, a pole vaulter, it was terrible. For us, compared to the rest of the country which was allowed to come back basically in September, we couldn’t really start full training until the first week of February. A lot of the kids came back and we were able to train. We got a lot in and the guys trained exceptionally well. I was very proud of them about that. We didn’t have any prospects for meets at that point. We didn’t know what was going to happen.” Just returning to campus gave the team a lift. Classes are still remote, but the team had the chance to come together for training. It’s become a daily highlight. “It’s meant so much, especially to the younger guys,” said Brennan. “Having our teammates back on campus, there’s a lot of new guys that we hadn’t met that I was able to meet just by being on campus. That’s been a big help for the team. With remote classes, it’s very hard to see people on campus because you’re kind of stuck in your room doing your classes and homework all day. Going down to the track, seeing faces, is definitely something I’ve enjoyed a ton.” Training together has also added an element that was missing during the time away. There’s a competitiveness to the training environment now and Brennan feels it for himself and for teammates that he sees pushing each other. “Developing that kind of chemistry, that kind of companionship with your teammates, we’ve already seen that come out during this time,” said Brennan.

“It’s going to be really exciting to see once we’re all back on campus, the level of fire and intensity being magnified with all of our guys who are enrolled now and the rest of the guys coming back. You’re going to see some really special things next year once everyone is back.” Having some competitions – even just the two – is a step in the right direction. Those meets allowed the younger competitors to get a taste of college competition, and to see where they stand after an unusual year. It’s added encouragement to their training. “We’re trying to get back into competition and get our competitive juices flowing again after a long break from competition and really set a set of standards that creates a path going forward for next season in which we’re going to strive to do some really great things,” said Brennan. “I think a lot of our guys are focusing on this season to remind ourselves what it means to be a competitor, what it means to drive for faster times, bigger throws, higher and longer jumps. Having this season is going to fuel us to go forward into a really, really important 2021-22 season.” Brennan is looking to be a big part of that next year with the hammer. It will be his third year in college, but he won’t have much experience competing with his new event. That hurdle hasn’t stopped him from aiming high and seeing the potential to be a major contributor with the hammer. “What I think will make me good is I’m a hard worker, I love track and field and I love learning about new events,” said Brennan. “That passion and fuel and having some solid athleticism and strength to learn the technique to progress, that will serve me well in the future. Where I lack experience, I have a lot of tools I can put in place to throw some bombs.” —Justin Feil

PU Soccer Alum Marsch Taking Helm of RB Leipzig

For mer Princeton University men’s soccer star and assistant coach Jesse Marsch ’96 has been named as the new head coach of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, Germany’s top pro league. Mars ch is com ing to Leipzig after guiding FC Red Bull Salzburg to the double, winning the Austrian Bundesliga title and the Austrian Cup, becoming the first American coach to win a major trophy in Europe. He also guided Salzburg to a third place finish in its group in the UEFA Champions League. A two-time All-Ivy selection while competing for Princeton, he scored 29 goals and added 15 assists over his four seasons, including a 16 -goal senior campaign which ended with a trip to the NCAA Tournament. After graduation, Marsch played in the ML S from 1996-2009, appearing in 321 matches and becoming the first player to win three MLS Cups. Following his playing retirement, Marsch was hired by Bob Bradley ‘80 as an assistant coach for the US Men’s National Team. Bradley was Marsch ’s coach at Princeton, at the Chicago Fire and Chivas USA. Marsch helped the US win its group at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the first time the team won its pool since 1930, before finishing in 12th place. In August 2011, Marsch was named the first head coach of MLS expansion team the Montreal Impact. He parted ways with the Impact in November 2012 after leading the Impact to the most successful inaugural MLS team record since Seattle’s record 12 wins in 2009. In 2015, he took over as head coach with the New York Red Bulls, earning Coach of the Year honors after guiding the club to the MLS Supporters’ Shield and a club-record 18 wins. In 2018, he left the Red Bulls as their all-time winningest coach with a 7532-44 record. He previously spent one season as assistant with RB Leipzig where he helped the club to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.

PU Lax Alum Sowers Taken 2nd in PLL Draft

Former Princeton University men’s lacrosse superstar Michael Sowers ’20, the leading scorer in program history, was selected by the Waterdogs with the No. 2 overall pick of the first round of the Premier Lacrosse League draft Monday night. Sowers, who is currently playing as a graduate student this season at Duke, will be reunited with fellow Tiger alum Zach Currier on the Waterdogs. “I’m forever grateful for the experience that I had at Princeton, particularly for the entire coaching staff, the

support staff, and most importantly, all my teammates that I played with throughout my career,” said Sowers. “I wouldn’t be the person or player that I am today without their mentorship and guidance. I will always be grateful for my time with them and all that I learned from them.” Sowers finished his Princeton career with 302 points on 121 goals and 181 assists. His long list of accomplishments at Princeton include the three best single-season scoring totals in program history in addition to the career records for points and goals. His senior year at Princeton lasted five games before the campaign was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of which Princeton won, while he averaged 9.4 points per game, with 16 goals and 31 assists for 47 points. He was named the Division I Player of the Year by Inside Lacrosse. With his 29 goals and 31 assists through 13 games with Duke, Sowers has career totals of 362 points and 212 assists, both of which are fourth in Division I history. His 6.03 points per game are fifth in Division I history, and he and Lyle Thompson of Albany are the only two players in Division I history with at least 150 career goals and 200 career assists

For 11 of the 17 players involved on April 23, that event was the first time they had ever worn a Princeton uniform. “One word that keeps coming to mind is gratitude,” said freshman midfielder Samantha DeVito. “We’re lucky to be healthy and able to play lacrosse. We’ve maybe been closer than we would be in a normal year since we were always together and it’s a small group. These girls are my family now.”

WINTER REVIEW

Hun Boys’ Hoops Star Smith, PHS Girls’ Wrestler Ayres Get Nod as Town Topics’ Leading Winter Performers

Kelvin Smith enjoyed a big season on both sides of the ball this past fall for the Hun School football team, utilizing his strength and speed to stand out at wide receiver and linebacker. Moving to the basketball court this winter from the gridiron, Smith drew on his football experience in looking to make an impact for the Hun boys’ hoops team. “Football has definitely helped my cutting in basketball,” said senior guard/ forward Smith, a powerfully-built 6’4, 220-pounder, who has committed to attend Yale University and is planning to play both football and basketball for the Bulldogs. “When I cut now, I am really good at faking out defenders and not letting them know which way I am going. It feels like running

a route. Physical-wise, I feel like nobody on the court is too big to stop me. After playing football, the aggressiveness and tenacity I have is very different from everybody else. It helps me get to the basket easier. It definitely helps me in grabbing rebounds over people and getting loose balls.” Playing at guard and forward for the Raiders, Smith d isplaye d t hat tenacit y, emerging as the squad’s top defender who could guard anyone from a guard to a center and as a jack-of-alltrades offensive catalyst. Smith filled the stat sheet at both ends of the floor, averaging 11.8 points a game along with 5.9 rebounds, a team-high 4.0 assists, a team-high 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 steals in helping the Raiders post an impressive 8-2 final record.

TRIPLE CROWN: Princeton High senior wrestling star Chloe Ayres enjoys the moment after she won the 114-pound New Jersey state girls’ wrestling title on April 10 at Phillipsburg High, joined by New Jersey State Inter-scholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) representatives Howie O’Neal and Colleen Maguire. It was the third straight state crown for Ayres, who is headed to Princeton University this fall where she is looking to get a women’s club wrestling program off the ground.

When Smith hit the court this winter for the Raiders, he looked to do whatever the team needed at the time. “As a senior captain, I feel like my role is to be a leader for the team,” said Smith. “Sometimes we get rushed a little bit so I feel like it’s my job to keep the team under control and to find the open man when somebody is open and to take the open shot when I am open. It is a little bit of everything. I feel like if we need a basket, I can use a screen and get to the basket. If we need a jump shot, I can pass to one of my teammates or take a shot if I see it.” Hun head coach Jon Stone credited Smith’s unselfish mentality as setting a positive tone for the Raiders. “Kelvin’s leadership has been really good all year long,” said Stone. “He is just so versatile for us. We play him on the ball a lot and yet we play him off the ball. He is such a good defender, he just gives us incredible versatility. He has been playing really well. He is a stat sheet stuffer. He just tends to have high numbers in points, rebounds, blocks, and assists every night. He has taken charges and different things like that. He is not always our leading scorer but he recognizes that there is so much more value to him. He gives us so much in every category.” Looking ahead, Smith is striving to bring that versatility to Ivy League competition. “I was offered for football and then the basketball coach at Yale [James Jones] who used to coach my dad in high school called me up,” recalled Smith. “If you want to play basketball, you can have that here also. My final three was Cornell for basketball, Harvard for football, and then Yale for football. It was

(Photo by Lexi Thomas) an easy but hard choice. I didn’t know that I had the chance to play basketball at Yale and so when he called me, that helped me make my decision.” For bringing a rugged athleticism and an unselfish mentality that helped Hun produce a superb campaign, Smith is the choice for the Town Topics’ top male performer of the winter season. Top Female Performer When Chloe Ayres joined the Princeton High wrestling team as a freshman for the 2017-18 season, she wasn’t sure how things would go as one of only two girls in the program. Ay r e s , w h o h a d o n l y taken up the sport as an eighth grader training with her father Chris Ayres, the head coach of the Princeton University wrestling program, quickly carved out a niche on the squad holding her own as she battled boys on the mat.

the mat, she also helped become a role model for girls looking to get in the sport. She appeared on the Today Show for a feature regarding the Wrestle Like a Girl program, founded by Sally Roberts, a World Bronze Medalist in women’s wrestling, to help girls and women across the United States get more opportunities to participate in wrestling. In 2019, with a big push from her parents, New Jersey held its first-ever state girls wrestling championship and Ayres emerged as star, taking first at 105 pounds. Last year, Ayres prevailed again, running the table at 107, edging Johnae Drumright of Trenton 4-3 in the final. This winter, Ayres was looking to do more than just win a third straight state title. “The goals for myself were a little bit different this year just because it is my third time going into it,” said Ayres. “I really wanted to show what I could do. I’ve been putting a lot of time into the room even during COVID-19. I think this year my goal was a little bit bigger in that I wanted to show the level that I could wrestle on and showcase my technique that I’ve been working on. It was a little more technically focused than just getting the win. I also wanted to put on a show and make it interesting to watch and show that women’s wrestling has grown a lot in New Jersey.” Ayres achieved her goal, pinning Cedar Creek’s Riley Lerner in the 114-pound state final to close her career unbeaten in state matches, ending up 26-0 against girls in her PHS career. PHS he ad coach Je s s Monzo credited Ayres with

pushing herself to achieve a higher level on the mat. “Chloe put the time in during the last year,” said Monzo. “She traveled to get matches and she made it a point to seek out the best compet it ion across the country knowing at the next level, she’ll see some of those girls later on. It tested her to let her know where she’s at and what she needed to work on and improve on.” In reflecting on her progress, Ayres rues the fact that she waited until middle school to take up wrestling. “I really wish I had gotten into it sooner, but I didn’t really see it as an option for myself,” said Ayres. “I think that’s part of the reason I’m so determined to show girls that it is an option so they get into it at a younger age and we continue to develop a higher level of wrestling for women. That’s definitely been an inspiration for me, seeing younger girls getting into it and seeing that this is their place and they can definitely compete in this sport and be successful. I didn’t necessarily see that when I was younger.” This fall, Ayres will be heading to Princeton University and looking to carve out a greater role for women in college wrestling. “While I probably won’t have the full Division 1 experience, I just want other girls to have the opportunity honestly,” said Ayres, who will join another woman, Demetra Yancopoulos, on the Tiger men’s roster with plans to compete in the national tournament for women through Princeton’s club program. “Even if it happens a year after I graduate, I’ll be so excited because we’ve been fighting for it for a long time

really good, some of the best I have seen. At half court in our diamond defense, she really adjusts well. She went sideline to sideline. There were times where she was anticipating passes and getting her steals that way. She really helped us.” Serxner’s key role in reversing the fortunes of the PHS girls’ hoops team earns her the nod as the leading female newcomer. Top Coaches With the Princeton High boys’ swim team having only 13 guys on its roster for the 2021 campaign, Carly Misiewicz espoused an all hands on deck mentality to her athletes. “I told them all that in the beginning of the season, guys we are hurting for numbers this year so don’t be surprised if you are going to be in different events week after week,” said Misiewicz. “Having small numbers on the guys team stinks but the positive is that they are very versatile. A lot of the guys that we have can do a wide range of events. The other good thing too with only having one meet a week is that they are going to swim a lot of different events throughout the season.” That approach resonated with the squad. “We really tried to utilize our versatility,” said Misiewicz. “All of our guys can do almos t any t h ing p eople like Owen Tennant, Julian Velazquez, Dan Baytin, and Will Murray. Alex Shaw this year really surprised us, coming up in a lot of different events. It was not just the sprints, he did the 500 a couple of times for us and the butterfly even.” The shorthanded squad went on to collectively surprise their coach, posting a 12-0 record in virtual meet competition, which entailed each team swimming separately at their pool and then sharing times online to calculate the score. The team’s most exciting meet of the season came wh e n t h e T iger s e dge d WW/P-North 86-84 despite winning just two of eight individual events (Tennant in the 200 individual merely and Henry Xu in the 100 breaststroke). “I think the WW/P-North meet was a turning point, not so much like a wake-up call but telling us that we are pretty good this year,” said Misiewicz. “T he numbers may be low but we got seconds and

thirds and did well in the relays. I remember scoring that meet out and I can’t believe it came out that way. I got to enter it on NJ.com and it is like we didn’t win anything.” In reflecting on achieving the perfect record, Misiewicz credited her swimmers with getting the most out of their potential. “I was so happy for them, I am so proud of them,” said Misiewicz, who also coached the PHS girls’ squad, which featured more depth than the boys, to a 12-0 record this winter. “It was look what we can do, with even just a small group of guys. We don’t need that number, you just need that drive and that determination. They have had it since the beginning.” For helping to channel that drive and determination into an undefeated campaign, Misiewicz is the top coach of a male team this winter. Coming into the winter, John Ritchie believed his Princeton Day School girls’ hockey team had a lot of potential. “They are really excited, building off some of the enthusiasm from last year,” said PDS head coach Ritchie, who guided the Panthers to a 10-11 in 2019-20 in his debut campaign at the helm of the program. “I think this team should finish well over .500. It should be one of the better years that PDS has had in a while. I am looking to really improve on that from last year.” R i t c h i e ’s c o n f i d e n c e proved to be well-founded as the Panthers ended up going 5-0-1. While Ritchie was proud of his team’s undefeated season, he was disappointed that COVID concerns and inclement weather led to the cancellation of scheduled clashes against some of the elite teams in the state. “We will take it, we finished it on a good note for the seniors by not losing,” said Ritchie, whose team skated to a 2-2 tie against Trinity Hall in its season finale on February 22. “It is one of those situations where you don’t have much control. I would have loved to play some of those ot her teams. We scr im maged Summit but we didn’t get to play them in a real game. We didn’t get to play Mo-Beard, we didn’t get to play Pingry. We count those teams as the top of the state

and they showed that again this year.” The PDS players, for their part, showed a lot of character and skill in going undefeated. “They did a great job all year,” said Ritchie, whose team outscored its foes 35-8 in a season highlighted by wins over Oak Knoll, Chatham, and Westfield. “They were grateful for the season, they stayed together. They never complained once about wearing masks. They never complained about not having a locker room. They never complained about not having a lot of games. I could not have, and our coaching staff could not have, asked for any more from the girls. The maturity level of them for high schoolers is probably a lot better than I would have been.” With the team only losing four seniors to graduation, Ritchie feels the program can build on this winter’s success. “We are really high on the skill level of the younger players, I definitely think we have the capabilities,” said Ritchie. “Once the talent level is there and the numbers are there, then it is up to us as coaches to make sure that we put that all together. I think we have the capability to be at the top of the state but it will be a good challenge for us.” Ritchie’s role in keeping things together through a challenging winter as the Panthers went undefeated makes him the top coach of a female team. —Bill Alden

and I want to see girls have the ability to compete at the Division 1 level. Even if I’m not a part of that, I know I’ll have the ability to compete and train in the sport that I love in college anyway. I’m really hoping that opportunity will develop eventually for the little girls wondering if they’ll have that opportunity in college.” Combining her role as a trailblazer in her sport with winning girls’ state titles in the first three years of the event, Ayres is the choice for the top female performer this winter. Top Newcomers Coming into the winter, Scott Bertoli realized that he had a gaping hole in the lineup for his Princeton Day School boys’ hockey team. “The departure of four defensemen and the loss of senior defenseman Birch Gorman to a season-ending injury left us with a tremendous void on defense this winter,” said PDS head coach Bertoli. Into that void stepped two freshmen, Han Shin and Connor Stratton. Showing a maturit y and skill beyond their years, the pair emerged as stars along the blue line for the Panthers. With the talented freshmen anchoring the defense alone with junior star goalie Tim Miller, PDS surrendered just eight goals in six games this season as it went 4-1-1. “Both Connor and Han quickly displayed the confidence, skating ability, and skill set to fill some of that gap this year,” said Bertoli, who got three assists from Shin this winter with Stratton contributing a goal and an assist. “They took turns anchoring the point on our top power play unit, they both killed penalties and arguably played more minutes than anyone else on our roster.” For filling a void and becoming stars in the process, Shin and Stratton are the choice as the co-top male newcomers. Dave Kosa sensed that promising freshman Casey Serxner would make a special impact this winter for his Princeton High girls’ basketball team. “She is going to be phenomenal, you saw her on the soccer field and how good she was,” said Kosa of Serxner, who was a key performer for the PHS girls’ soccer team in the fall. “With her toughness, her agg ressiveness, she has been great. We are really excited to have her. She will be our point guard this year.” Kosa proved to be prescient as the grit t y and talented Serxner emerged as the top player for the Tigers, triggering an uptempo offense to help PHS post a 7-3 record this winter, a vast improvement on the 5-20 make posted in 2019-20. “Casey came on the scene to lead us in scoring, assists, and steals; she rarely turned the ball that much either,” said Kosa, noting that Serxner earned All-Colonial Valley Conference honors. “I was talking to her and she thinks she could have played better. She hates coming off the floor even if she is in foul trouble. It is really great to have a point guard as competitive as she is. She is also very smart too. Her instincts are

After Guiding Program to Unprecedented Success, PDS Girls’ Soccer Coach Trombetta Stepping Down In his day job as the chief operating officer for an accounting firm, Pat Trombetta prides himself on his attention to detail and ability to manage people. When not in the office for the MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, Trombet ta took a break from his world of numbers by indulging in his passion for soccer, guiding a number of club teams in West Windsor and coming to Princeton Day School to start coaching in its middle school program in 2004. When Trombetta took the helm of the PDS varsity girls’ soccer team in 2007, he applied some accounting principles as he looked to take the program to a higher level. “I just think that being in the position that I am in from a leadership standpoint helped me in coaching,” said Trombetta. “There are a lot of things that I do at the corporate level that I actually implement with the soccer team. Organization and planning are two key things that are part of my daily life that I bring to the field.” Combining his flair for organization and love of soccer, Trombetta transformed PDS into a powerhouse, guiding the program to eight state Prep B championships (2008, 2010, 2014-2019) and a Mercer County Tournament title (2013), the first in program history, over last 14 seasons.

But noting that his job responsibilities have increased t h rou g h ove r s e e i n g t h e firm’s offices in New York and New Jersey, Trombetta announced last month that his run at PDS will be ending as he is stepping down from the program. “It is just the time commitment, and I am so proud of where this program is today,” said Trombetta, who posted a 177-62-19 record in his PDS tenure. “I want somebody to have that available time to continue this program and keep it at the level that is at right now. I expect a 110 percent commitment from my players. If I can’t give that in return, I’m not being fair to them. I’m too proud of how this program has developed over these past 14 years to be a top team in the state. I think it is only right that a coach that has the available time outside of the season to continue to lead this group.” It was not easy for Trombetta to leave PDS. “I struggled with this decision for an extensive period of time,” said Trombetta, noting that he spent a lot of time over the years from December to April meeting with families interested in the program and doing other offseason activities. “I have been blessed to have a group of players that were committed to excellence. I know I demanded a lot but they responded and bought into a culture of strong work ethic, respect of each other and

recognized the importance of team chemistry. I think the results speak for themselves. The outpouring of love I have received from my current players and families after announcing my decision on April 15 has been overwhelming.” In creating that winning culture, Trombetta was both patient and innovative. “It is tough from day one to come into a program, they are used to certain systems, practices, and philosophies,” said Trombetta, who credited assistant coaches Howie Powers and Brie Nomejko with having a key role in the program’s success, noting that Powers has been with him since day one of his tenure and that Nomejko came to PDS in 2013. “Slowly they bought into the coaching that I was trying to instill there. Back then, I wanted to have more accountability with the girls and have a system of play where fitness was important. I implemented a lot of different things. We played in the summer league for the first time. I had a couple of different twists and we started from there.” By his second season, Trombetta had molded PDS into a champion. “The first great moment was 2008 when we won the Prep B over Montclair Kimberley, it was my first championship with the program,” recalled Trombetta. “The game was tied with about 10 seconds left. MKA

committed a foul and then stood in front of the ball, not letting us take the free kick so time runs out but the ref puts five seconds on the clock. Erin Cook scores on the free kick to win the game. That was our first big win. It is one of those cherished moments that you remember.” Trombetta’s most cherished win in all likelihood c a m e w h e n PD S e d g e d Hopewell Valley 2-0 in the 2013 MCT final to earn the program’s first-ever county crown. “I think the Mercer County championship was huge, the first in school history has to probably be at the top,” said Trombetta. “A couple of parents had said to me, you are doing alright with the state prep championships but we are never going to be a player in the counties. Just tell me something I can’t do and I will find a way to do it.” Former PDS Athletic Director Tim Williams, who worked with Trombetta for nine years, was not surprised that Trombetta found a way to keep winning. “He is great, I was impressed with Pat from the start,” said Williams, who is now the AD at the University School of Milwaukee. “His level of professionalism was second to none. He made my job a lot easier because he was so well organized. He put together such a good program. With Pat being a CPA, I was always amazed that he could do everything that he did. He has got a big day job and then he comes in and does what he does for us. He did

a bunch of offseason stuff too. I don’t know how he found the hours in the day to do it.” In the view of Williams, Trombetta’s no-nonsense, businesslike approach helped drive his players to do big things. “He was a master that way, getting the most out of his players,” added Williams. “He was tough, he was fair, and he made his expectations very clear so the kids really respected that.” Trombetta did a masterful coaching job this fall, guiding the Panthers to a 10-1 record as they dealt with COVID-19 concerns and restrictions. “This group that I coached this past year was probably one of my most determined groups that I have ever coached at PDS,” asserted Trombetta, noting that the 2020 campaign was highlighted by a thrilling 2-1 win over defending state Group 4 champion and powerhouse Hunterdon Central in early November. “The circumstances and the COV ID env ironment and no state championship to play for. Who knows who is going to be at practice or not at practice, the protocols and who knows if your opponent is going to be able to play that day. This group lost their first game of the season 3-2 and didn’t actually play that well and then right from there things started clicking. We were

taking it one game at a time because it could be the last game of the season.” In reflecting on his tenure, Trombetta views the program’s consistent tournament success as a key part of his legacy. “I am proudest of how we played above and beyond our potential,” he said. “ We we r e a c om p e t i tive program. If you look at us from 2013 to today, the achievements that the program made — the Mercer County championship was huge and winning all the prep championships between 2014 and 2019. I would have loved to have competed in the postseason in 2020. That would have been the icing on the cake.” While Trombetta will be focusing on his day job, he acknowledges that his love for soccer could pull him back into coaching. “I don’t think I can walk away from the game; I think I still have a lot of coaching left in me,” he said. “If the right opportunity arises on either the boys’ or girls’ side and doesn’t require a significant commitment outside of August – November, I would give it some consideration. I have a passion for the sport but I think this is the right time to hand it over to someone else at PDS. They have got a pretty decent team and there is a lot of interest in the program.” —Bill Alden

Last spring, Dylan and Ethan Parker were primed to star again for the Princeton High boys’ tennis squad, having placed second at second doubles at the Mercer County Tournament in 2019. But the twins never got the chance to team up again and build on their success as sophomores as the 2020 campaign was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “We had just finished the tryouts and then the season got canceled immediately,” said Dylan Parker. “It was really devastating for a lot of the seniors especially. We kept our heads up and we kept on practicing.” That practice paid off as the twins are getting the chance to play together at first doubles one last time as the 2021 spring season is up and running. “It is amazing how everything has opened up and all that,” said Ethan. “Everyone is really happy to be back, everyone was just really excited to play. Everyone was really positive with lots of energy.” L a s t We d n e s d a y, t h e Parker twins expended a lot of energy, pulling out a 7-5, 6-7 (7-5), 6-2 win over Lawrence High’s Suraj Kura and Rishi Kotamraju to help PHS edge the Cardinals 3-2. In Dylan’s view, the pair drew on their maturity to come away with the win. “It is focus up until the very last set, we were focused,” said Parker. “We were ready and experience as well helped us a lot. We have been through so many matches together.” That twin connection also made a dif ference. “We have been together all of our lives,” added Dylan. “It just really helps on the court because we are always on the same page. It helps so much.” Ethan, for his part, pointed to the duo’s positive mindset and their deep bonds as key factors in the victory. “Our mentalit y stayed strong,” said Ethan. “We always talk to each other between points and were

telling each other just keep making a game. Even if they were up 40-love, we were just saying one point at a time. We know what each other is thinking, just playing so many matches together. We can just predict what the other one wants to do so we can anticipate and we can move earlier than other teams can and I think that gave us the edge today.” With the CVC tournament coming up, Ethan believes PHS should be a strong contender in the competition, which will be conducted in a dual match team format with a bracket as opposed to the usual county tournament which features an individual champion in each of the five flights and a team score based on those results. “It is different this year, we are fired up, we want to go as far as we can,” said Ethan. “We want to try to win it but there are quite a few tough schools out there.” Dylan believes the Tigers will be fired up for that event. “We are so excited for that, we have some strong players,” said Dylan. “We have a lot of guys who are so excited to play and to play our game and hopefully make it very far in the tournament. The singles lineup is really strong, we are really looking forward to the rest of this season.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert knows her players are excited to be having a 2021 season. “They are happy to be back out on court as they spent last year in quarantine,” said Hibbert, whose team improved to 5-0 with a 5-0 win over Allentown last Friday. “They are happy to be seeing their friends and playing tennis.” Hibbert is very happy to have the Parker twins holding down the first doubles spot in her lineup. “They are great leaders, they are really passionate about this sport,” said Hibber t, noting that the twins also star for the PHS boys’ soccer program. “They are athletes

all-around and they dedicate to the team and the sport and whatever sport they are playing at the time. They are a great doubles pair. They know each other very well, they are lefty, righty, they have the communication, they hustle, they keep it positive, and they encourage each other. They don’t get frustrated with a mistake from the other, they shake it off well. They move well, they are very fast around the court, and they are good volleyers. It is nice to have consistency.” Unfortunately, PHS has not had consistency in its lineup with players missing matches due to other commitments and outside tournament play. When the squad is at full strength, it features sophomore Jonathan Gu at first singles. “He has got a great overall game,” said Hibbert of Gu. “He is lefty as well which is a helpful thing, sometimes the spin is a little bit different. He is a good attacker at net, he has a good allaround game.” At second singles, freshman Jack Ling has displayed composure. “Jack has amazing poise for a freshman,” said Hibbert. “You can’t tell if he is winning or losing, whether he is up or down. He just keeps it all business on the court. He works really hard, he had an amazing match against Hopewell, he had not beaten Bradley [Deeds] before in his tournaments. But he put it all together and was able to come back and win a great third set for us to clinch that match (a 3-2 win on April 20).” Freshman Melvin Huang, the PHS third singles player, has gained some valuable experience this spring, having been forced to move up the lineup as the Tigers have worked around scheduling issues. “Melvin battled hard today; he is our third singles and he has yet to be able to play a match at third singles,” said Hibber t of

Huang who played at first singles against Lawrence with other players gone and fell in straight sets to senior Ram Laxminarayan. “I think having to step up and having to play these tough matches and battle these older, more experienced players bodes well for his future matches.” Hibbert, for her part, is looking forward to the CVC tournament. “It is like a state tournament, it is done in a teamseeded fashion,” said Hibber t, whose team hosts Robbinsville on May 5 and plays at Notre Dame on May 10 before starting play in the CVC tourney on May 12. “It hasn’t happened before so we will see. In some ways it is nice to continue the team mentality. In some ways, though, I do enjoy the flighted tournament where each person has a chance to shine for himself.” PHS has the talent to shine in the competition. “Our focus is winning as many matches as we can and keeping everyone healthy, trying to get our guys back out on cour t and tr ying to have a full lineup for a match,” said Hibbert, whose team clinched the win over Lawrence when freshman Jason Singer rallied to earn a 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (9-7) win at third singles. “We have to play through adversity. Jason won his tiebreaker 9-7. For a freshman to have the mentality after losing the first set 6-1, that is a really great comeback for him. Like I said to the team, you contribute one point no matter where you are. Some days you are the victor and some days you

aren’t but every day you fight hard for the team. We do our best to pull it out.” Dylan and his brother are looking to do their best as they play their final high school campaign. “We are just taking our time, we are enjoying every single moment we have together,” said Dylan. “ We are not t h i n k i ng about the future right now,

we are just living in the moment.” Ethan, for his part, is confident that the pair can post a lot of victories along the way. “We are just going to make the most of it every match we get,” said Ethan. “We are just going to play it as hard as we can. We just want to win everything.” —Bill Alden

With Hyson Starring at Both Ends of Field, Hun Girls’ Lacrosse Gets on Winning Track It was a perfect way to cap off a big week for the Hun School girls’ lacrosse team. With the sun shining and soft breeze wafting across Natale Family Athletic Field last Saturday afternoon, the Hun players skipped through their pregame warmup, getting ready to host Moorestown Friends, looking for their third win in six days after beating Peddie 19-8 in the first round of the Prep A tourney on April 26 and then routing Stuart Country Day 15-1 on Wednesday. “We had a really good warmup, Saturday games are the best because we are able to have that nice time in the beginning,” said Hun senior midfielder and captain Anna Hyson. “It is a beautiful day. We took that, listened to some good music, got hyped, got together as a team and went out strong.” Against Moorestown Friends, Hun got off to a very strong start, jumping out to a 7-0 lead in the first 12 minutes of the contest. “In practice, we really focused on the feeds, not forcing it and spreading the ball,” said Hyson. “We were taking our time and waiting for the perfect shot.” Hyson helped get things moving, picking up a goal and an assist as Hun built a 12-0 advantage by halftime and never looked back on the way to a 14-4 victory. “I was feeling good, it was more of an offensive game for me,” said Hyson. “I am normally more of a defensive player, I was taking a step up as an offensive player. Normally our team needs defense but we have some new girls coming back from quarantine and injuries and I was able to play more on the offensive side.” With Hyson helping out in the midfield, the Hun defense was stingy. “Our goalie Angela Vitale had a shutout in the first half of our last game and in the first half of this game,” said Hyson. “She saved us at times but our defense was doing well. We were communicating well and were able to crash well.”

In the second half, Hun took care of business, fine-tuning its attack. “We were working on our plays more, using different players, seeing what we can do taking control of the ball,” said Hyson. In reflecting on the team’s recent surge, Hyson attributed it to some focused training. “We struggled a few games, we broke things down in practice and said this is what we need to work on,” said Hyson. “We wanted to fix where we were weak and be able to do well.” As a team captain, Hyson showed her leadership before the spring season even started. “I kind of took where the team needed me,” said Hyson. “We got a late start due to the decision on the coach. I took the team and started workouts, seeing what we could do. Coach [Kathleen] Jaeger came in, she and I clicked initially. We really work well together, she tells me where to head in.” With Hyson headed to Skidmore College where she will be playing for its women’s lacrosse program, she has soaked up some lessons from Jaeger, a former lax star at TCNJ. “She has helped me a lot,” said Hyson. “She knows with a high school team there are different skill levels. She is able to help the team unite as one but then help me advance my game.” Hun head coach Jaeger credits Hyson with helping unite the squad. “Anna is a huge leader, she is one of those you hear downfield,” said Jaeger. “She is just a vital part on both sides so it is nice to see that come and show up in the stat book.” Hun’s quick start against Moorestown Friends was nice to see for Jaeger. “We had the momentum and the energy which is something we have been striving for,” said Jaeger. “That was really exciting to see, winning the draw, getting the job done and moving the ball quickly on attack.” The Raiders also displayed some good balance in their attack as several players got on

the score sheet. “I think that defines a true team and unites both our attack and our defensive side,” added Jaeger, who got six goals from Abby O’Brien in the win with Olivia Kim adding three and Ava Olender chipping in two. “That is a principle we have been talking a lot about and finding the strengths of each player.” Freshman Kim has been emerging as a weapon for the Hun offense. “Olivia’s confidence on attack is increasing so it is nice to see all of those different pieces blend together,” said Jaeger. “It takes time to develop an attacking unit, you are seeing pieces coming together.” Jaeger also liked the way things came together defensively on Saturday. “It starts from the back and from goal,” said Jaeger. “We were sliding well, the communication was there. I think you could see that because Moorestown had a lot of people who were driving or passing so we didn’t know what to expect.” In assessing the team’s solid start, Jaeger sees it as a product of bringing intensity every day. “Energy has been a big focus of our team,” said Jaeger, whose team saw its threegame winning streak end last Monday when it fell 14-3 to Oak Knoll in the state Prep A semifinals to move to 6-4 and will look to get rolling again as it hosts Stuart on May 6, Hill School (Pa.) on May 8, and Episcopal Academy (Pa.) on May 11. “Despite everything else that is happening at school or in the world right now, when we step in the field for lacrosse that is all that matters. They see with the coaches and the teammates that we are just one unit together. That has been a building force all throughout the season.” Hyson, for her part, is energized to make the most of her final high school campaign. “I am super thankful for the athletic department. They have done everything they can to get us in the field and get us all the things we need,” said Hyson, who got a goal in the loss to Oak Knoll. “I am more than thankful to have a senior season.” —Bill Alden

With its Bats Coming Alive in a Big Way, Hun Softball Posts 4 Straight Wins, Now 7-1 Coming into this spring, Kathy Quirk feared that her Hun School softball team might be offensively challenged. “I did not think this was going to be a hitting team,” said Hun head coach Quirk. Quirk’s concerns seemed merited in mid-April when Hun edged Blair 1-0 and then fell 4-0 to Lawrenceville. But after getting blanked by the Big Red, Hun has gone on a hit ting spree since, piling up 59 runs in reeling off a four-game winning streak. Hun’s offensive production has come as a pleasant surprise to Quirk. “I knew there were going to be a few girls who hit the ball but I did not think that we were going to hit like we have been hitting,” said Quirk. In Quirk’s view, a daily diligence has led to the batting barrage. “ We h av e j u s t r e a l l y been working hard on our batting every single day,”

said Quirk. “We do a lot of tee work, we hit off the machine, and we flip toss.” Sophomore outfielder Kat Xiong has emerged as a catalyst for the squad. “She is our leadoff hitter and if she gets on, she just seems to set the tone for everyone,” said Quirk of Xiong who went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI on a 13-0 win over Peddie on May 27 and had four hits, a homer, three runs and three RBIs in a 15-8 victory over Penn Charter (Pa.) on April 24. “She had a home run at Penn Charter over the fence, she has been dying to do that. I didn’t get to see much of her last year, she has really started to progress as a nice little player.” Looking to put together a solid final campaign, senior catcher Hanna Babuschak has also caught fire. “Hanna has come out of her slump,” said Quirk. “We worked with her the Friday before Penn Charter and she just pounded the ball.”

Players throughout the Hun batting order are pounding the ball. “They have all been hitting, it has just been nice; it is a contagious thing when one hits, they all seem to hit,” said Quirk, noting that freshman Lexi Kobryn, freshman Jamie Staub, junior Katie Angelini, and junior Nora Shea, among others, have all been producing with the bat. With Hun playing at Newark Academy on May 5, hosting Montgomery High on May 7, and then playing at Lawrenceville School on May 10, Quirk is hoping her players will keep the hits coming. “Our focus has to stay with strong bats, especially playing Montgomer y and Lawrenceville,” said Quirk, noting that the state Prep A tournament will be starting in mid-May. “We can’t have the strikeouts that we had before and we are not having them. I am just hoping that we can continue with the positive attitude and keep making progress.” —Bill Alden

A VERY SPECIAL

WORSHIP SERVICE STUDENT RECOGNITION SUNDAY

Arlene Carnevale Sannino Kemph

Barbara B. Erdman

Barbara B. Erdman, “Bobbie,” age 61, passed away Thursday April 22, 2021 in Beverly Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Born in New Brunswick, NJ, she was the daughter of Joan T. Bassett and the late Alton H. Bassett. For 37 years, she was the beloved wife of William P. Erdman. After growing up in Princeton, NJ, Bobbie’s love of sports, especially tennis and lacrosse, led to a Physical Education degree from college and a lifelong career as a health and gym teacher. The beginning of her career took Bobbie back to Princeton where she met future husband “Billy” Erdman, also from Princeton. The marriage started with 17 years in California, where Bobbie eventually became an athletic director at a local school. Both of their children, Jamie and Drew, were born in San Jose, CA. In early 2000, the family moved to Boston’s North Shore, where she eventually took a position at Brookwood School as a physical education teacher and coach. Bobbie also helped start the Hamilton-Wenham girls lacrosse program. Bobbie loved kids, and thrived on watching them gain confidence through enjoyable activities, games, and sports. Home was invariably open and filled with her children’s companions. Bobbie’s friends were equally important, and perhaps her most memorable gift was being a good listener, and her generous spirit. She was always ready to lend an ear, or hand, to any friend in need. HOPEWELL • NJ HIGHTSTOWN • NJ Bobbie thrived outdoors. In California, many family days were spent camping, hiking, 609.921.6420 609.448.0050 and windsurfing.

In 1938, at the age of 9, Rina and her family escaped the Nazi Regime that was closing in on Jewish families in Vienna and immigrated to Palestine and three years later to New York City. While German was her native tongue, she learned Hebrew while living in Palestine and later English once settled in the U.S. Rina attended school in Brooklyn and received her Bachelor of Science degree from Hunter College majoring in Chemistry and Psychology. She later went on to study Psychology at the graduate level at Columbia University.
