The clash between Princeton University and local community members over the University’s application for a zoning variance on Prospect Avenue continued at last week’s virtual meeting of the Princeton Planning Board (PPB), with dozens of speakers voicing their ideas, opposition, and proposals for compromise. After four hours of discussion, the PPB announced that the discussion would continue at its October 21 meeting, which could possibly culminate in deliberations and a final vote by PPB members. The September 23 meeting, carried over from July 8, was the third long PPB session concerning Princeton University’s proposal to demolish three Queen Anne Victorian houses on the north side of Prospect and move the former Court Clubhouse building at 91 Prospect Avenue from across the street into their place in order to provide space to construct the entrance to its planned 660,000-squarefoot Environmental Studies and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (ES+SEAS) complex. Several different speakers proposed compromises that involved adapting and expanding the former Court Clubhouse without moving it, but the University continued to emphasize the necessity of following its original plans for moving the 91 Prospect building across the street in order to construct a gateway Theorist Pavilion for the new complex. Towards the end of the evening, however, Princeton University Architect Ron McCoy did offer what many saw as a small but perhaps significant compromise, stating that the 91 Prospect building could be placed on the north side of the street in such a way that one of the three Victorian buildings could remain without being demolished. Historic Preservation Consultant Clifford Zink, a leader of the opposition who has presented several compromise proposals, expressed some optimism in the fact that the University was willing to reconsider one aspect of its plan, but Zink found that compromise unsatisfactory. “It’s completely inadequate,” he said, in a September 28 phone conversation. “It’s significant as it’s the first hint of compromise for the University, but it’s clearly not enough. It doesn’t keep Court Clubhouse in the historic district and it doesn’t save Continued on Page 10

Pipeline Project Canceled by PennEast After more than 10 years of planning and facing opposition from environmentalists across the region, PennEast has opted to pull the plug on its proposed 116mile natural gas pipeline. The companies that had been advancing the project, which would have spanned areas of Pennsylvania and New Jersey including Mercer and Hunterdon counties, issued a statement on Monday announcing that the project had been canceled. “PennEast has not received certain permits, including a water quality certification and other wetlands permits under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the
New Jersey portion of the project,” reads the statement. “Therefore, the PennEast partners, following extensive evaluation and discussion, recently determined further development of the project no longer is supported.” This was welcome news to local environmentalists, including Jim Waltman, executive director of The Watershed Institute in Pennington. “This is a huge victory,” he said in a press release. “Today, water, the environment, and people spoke louder than fossil fuels. We congratulate and thank the many local, state, and federal officials of both parties and thousands of residents
for their determined opposition to this unnecessary and destructive proposal.” The pipeline would have required condemnation of 42 parcels owned or controlled by the state of New Jersey. Earlier this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that PennEast Pipeline Company could sue New Jersey to take the land. “The proposed pipeline would have ripped through dozens of our state’s most pristine streams and bulldozed through more than 4,300 acres of farmland and open space that has been ostensibly preserved in perpetuity,” said Waltman.

New BOE Candidate Jeffrey Liao Presents Priorities For the Schools
“SUKKAH VILLAGE 2021”: This sukkah by Studio Hillier was created and built by Julian Edgren with help from Dustin Bailey, both designers in the firm, with support from Studio Hillier Operations Manager Oliver Pelosi. Eight architecture firms, two student design teams, and their nonprofit partners participated in this past week’s exhibition of 11 sukkahs, traditional Judaic shelters, around downtown Princeton.

In this week’s Board of Education (BOE) candidate profile, Jeffrey Liao describes his education, background, and his priorities for the future of the Princeton Public Schools (PPS). Liao will be challenging incumbents Betsy Baglio and Brian McDonald and another new candidate, Mara Franceschi, in the November 2 election for three available positions, with three-year terms, on the PPS Board. Franceschi and McDonald were profiled in Town Topics earlier this month, and Baglio will be featured in next week’s issue. “I was born in NYC and grew up in East Brunswick, New Jersey,” wrote Liao. “I am a second-generation Asian American. I graduated from East Brunswick High School, majored in chemistry at Johns Hopkins University, then obtained my J.D. from Harvard Law School. Since then, I have worked as an intellectual property attorney in New York, Los Angeles, and now in Princeton as the sole U.S. patent counsel for a multinational pharmaceutical company. I am a member of the bar of New Jersey, New York, California, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. “I moved to Princeton in the summer of 2020 for my current job. The main reason I chose to live in Princeton is because of the stellar reputation of Princeton Public Schools for providing excellent public education. “I am 42 years old.

New Health Center is Welcome Addition To Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood
For residents of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood, Princeton Medical Center’s 2013 move from Witherspoon Street to U.S. Route 1 was a major loss. But comprehensive care has returned to the neighborhood in t he for m of
C apit a l He a lt h P r i m ar y Care, housed in the former Princeton Packet building across the street from where the hospital once stood. W h i l e t h e c e nte r h a s been in operation for a few months, an official ribboncutting ceremony was held on September 21. Patients are offered same-day appointments and evening hours for sick visits, along with regular checkups and preventive care visits. The center covers uninsured children from newborn to age 18, and includes immunizations, physicals, and developmental screenings as well as counseling for parents regarding safety, nutrition, development, and growth.

Jeffrey Grosser, Princeton’s health officer, called the center “a game-changer for Princeton residents in need of comprehensive, accessible health services. For the last several years, health assessments performed by the Princeton Health Department regularly pointed out the lack of localized primary care for residents,” he said. “The ability to have a new, state-of-the-art facility within walking distance for many of our Princeton families should alleviate most barriers with seeing a medical professional.” Princeton Council President Leticia Fraga, who attended the ribbon-cutting, said the center fills a void. “Several of us have been advocating for this for a long time, really since the hospital left Princeton,” she said. “We’re really excited about it. It has been working really well since the soft opening.” The center serves those who might not otherwise be able to find necessary medical care. “We continue to get new young folks who are unaccompanied minors arriving in Princeton,” Fraga said. “Before they can enter the school system, they have to be updated on their vaccines. Before, clinics were only scheduled once a month. Now, they can make appointments any time.” Grosser said Princeton teamed up w it h Capital Health to provide “child health conferences,” which
are a requirement under New Jersey Public Health Practices for the community. “These conferences provide comprehensive preventive health care of infants through school-aged children, specifically providing required im munizations, well exams, screenings, and physicals,” he said. “These conferences act as ‘safety net’ health care providers, particularly for uninsured or under-insured families.” The Princeton Board of Health has sponsored a “well-baby/child health conference” clinic since the early 20 th century. It was first organized at Princeton Medical Center, remaining on Continued on Next Page

Witherspoon Street from 1922 u nt il t he hospital moved in 2013. Following the move, the clinic operated as part of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center [at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center], continuing until this year. “With the building of the new Capital site, our health assessments have guided the municipality to re-evaluate accessibility of families to these vital services, and led to the new agreement,” said Grosser. “The shared vision for primary care to the community includes a community-based health focus, comprehensive health services, culturally and linguistically competent ser v ices, and high quality care.” Office hours are Monday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. (closed 12-1 p.m. for lunch); Tuesday and Wednesday 8 a.m.-7 p.m. (closed 4-5 p.m. for lunch).

He continued, “We are at a critical place in the life of our community as it relates to racial justice, diversity, inclusion, and equity. Dr. King brings a voice that’s important not only for carrying out the legacy of her parents, but also in her own rights as a thought leader, moving society towards a more just and equitable future.” The King Center was founded in Atlanta in 1968 by Coretta Scott King.

m is s e d t he comprom is e proposals, claiming that the University had already considered these possibilities. “The University looked at this initially and then looked at it again and again,” he said. “It doesn’t meet the programmatic needs. There are certain requirements that are needed for the University to continue to be No. 1. That’s what this is about, bringing in state-of-the-art facilities, bringing in the best minds in the world, and you need to meet the spatial and programmatic needs for that. These alternatives just don’t make any sense.” Following up on DeGrezia’s comments, Keenan Hughes, a planning consultant representing the Universit y, rev iewed the zoning variance application, addressed some of the criticisms of the University’s plan, and concluded that “the benefits outweigh the detriments.” He noted that granting the zoning variance would be the only way of saving 91 Prospect since the University has stated its intention of demolishing the building if it is not permitted to move it. A f ter his presentat ion Keenan met w ith a barrage of angry criticism and questioning from several members of the public, who suggested that he had failed to address crucial issues and had not considered problems with the “larger context” of the University’s proposal. Delivering a summary response for the University, McCoy emphasized that the University has a history of being “exceptionally strong stewards of historic buildings.”

all three houses.” Sandy Harrison, president of Princeton Prospect Foundation, agreed with Zink, noting, ”Saving just one of the Victorian houses is not in line with everything that’s been talked about. The move would still disrupt the historic district and violate National Park guidelines. Anything that involves the Court Clubhouse going across the street is disruptive. We’re glad that there’s a sign of compromise, but we want a compromise that everyone can live with.” At last Thursday’s meeting, with about 150 in attendance, Zink represented the Save Prospect Coalition in presenting several possible alternatives to the University’s plan. Though he mentioned three options, he placed major emphasis on keeping Court Clubhouse and t he t hree Victor ian houses in place, keeping the Prospect Avenue streetscape intact, and sending University planners and architects back to the drawing board to devise an addition to the Court Clubhouse and adapt it to serve the needs of the new complex. Most of the public commentary seemed to support the Save Prospect Coalition’s opposition to Princeton University’s application, and many also supported the compromise ideas presented by Zink. But Christopher DeGrezia, a lawyer representing the University, disagreed. Emphasizing the University’s commitment to historic preservation, DeGrezia dis-
He went on to highlight the impor tance of the ES +SEAS project and its benefits to the University and the world, “a once-inan-institution’s-lifetime project.” In support of the variance, he also reiterated that “this project is about saving 91 Prospect.” McCoy mentioned that he and other University officials had met several times with leaders of the Princeton Prospect Foundation and the Save Prospect Coalition and that the proposed compromise plans “just do not work.” He continued, “They do not know our requirements. They simply cannot assert that they know how to make a building that we need to make to recruit the best faculty in the world.” McCoy will complete his presentation at t he October 21 PPB meeting. If past performances are any indication, not to mention the 1,658 signatures on an online petition opposing the University’s plan for Prospect Avenue, McCoy will likely encounter some stringent questioning and commentary. After that the PPB should be ready to deliberate and vote to approve or deny the University’s application. —Donald Gilpin

Riverkeeper Network, said, “We knew we would get here eventually. It was just a matter of time.” Delaware Riverkeeper Network, other environmental organizations, and concerned individuals have been partnering on efforts to vigorously oppose the project. “Since the project was announced, People Against the Pipeline community groups have been popping up all along the over 100-mile-long line, all coordinating and working together,” van Rossum said in a press release. “We have advocated, litigated, conducted critical scientific groundtruthing, and been clear throughout that we would accept nothing short of cancellation.” The Watershed Institute was among the organizations involved. “From the beginning, it was clear to us that this PennEast proposal was in severe conflict with the state’s strong environmental protections,” Waltman said. “As we and others have urged, through two administrations, the state of New Jersey has consistently held PennEast to the Garden State’s strict environmental laws.” The natural gas pipeline would have originated in northeastern Pennsylvania. The underground line would have run through Hunterdon County and into Mercer County. According to studies done when the project was first proposed, it would have delivered approximately 1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day to markets in eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey with natural gas produced from Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania.
Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman welcomed the news, but said there is still work to be done. “I will continue to commit to this fight for comprehensive oversight by FERC [the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission],” she said. “We must have accountability when it comes to proposed projects and take a cumulative approach of the need and the environmental impact when pipelines are put forth into consideration. Make no mistake, though, today is a great win.” “The death of the PennEast pipeline is a long time coming,” said Doug O’Malley, director of Environment New Jersey, adding that it wouldn’t have been possible “without the support of the Murphy administration and the NJDEP [New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection] standing up to the environmental bullying from PennEast.” He added, “PennEast spent the last seven years bullying New Jersey — from landowners to state government — and this is a testament that you can’t bulldoze the public and the environment.” Waltman compared the defeat of the proposal to another effort that blocked construction of a segment of Interstate 95 several decades ago. “Fifty years ago, The Watershed Institute and the residents of this region fought an ill-advised segment of I-95 that would have harmed this area’s water and environment — in 1973, that segment of the highway became one of only a small number that was eventually de-authorized,” he said “The defeat of the PennEast Pipeline stands on a par with that victory.” — Anne Levin
Reading Series Returns in Person an A.F.A. from the Institute of At Lewis Center’s Hearst Theater American Indian Arts Creative
The Althea Ward Clark W’21 Reading Series, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing at Princeton University, returns for the 2021-22 season in-person with a reading by American Book Awardwinning Navajo poet Sherwin Bitsui and multiple award-winning novelist/essayist Maaza Mengiste. The reading begins October 5 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hearst Dance Theater in the Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton University campus. The reading is free and open to the public, however registration is required and all guests must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear a mask when indoors. Reservations can be made through University Ticketing at tickets.princeton.edu.
Maaza Mengiste Originally from White Cone, Ariz., on the Navajo Reservation, Bitsui is the author of three collections of poetry, Dissolve (Copper Canyon), Flood Song (Copper Canyon), and Shapeshift (University of Arizona Press). He is Diné of the Todích’ii’nii (Bitter Water Clan), born for the Tlizílaaní (Many Goats Clan) and holds
Writing Program and a B.A. from University of Arizona in Tucson. In addition to an American Book Award, his honors include a 2011 Lannan Foundation Literary Fellowship and a 2011 Native Arts & Culture Foundation Arts Fellowship. He is also the recipient of a 2010 PEN Open Book Award and a Whiting Writers Award. Mengiste is a novelist and essayist whose work examines the individual lives at stake during migration, war and exile, and considers the intersections of art and violence. A Pushcart Prize nominee who was named a “New Literary Idol” by New York Magazine, she was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Her debut novel, Beneath the Lion’s Gaze, was selected by The Guardian as one of the 10 Best Contemporary African Books and was a Runner-Up for the 2011 Dayton Literary Peace Prize. Mengiste’s newest book, The Shadow King, revolves around a group of ordinary women who join the front lines during Mussolini’s fascist invasion of Ethiopia in what many consider the first conflict of World War II. A film adaptation is in the works to be directed by Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou, Harriet). She has previously taught in Princeton’s Program in Creative Writing.

Rock ingham or ig inally included two large apple orchards on its 360-plus acreage. More than likely, the Berriens, Rockingham’s owners, or a close neighbor would have had a large apple press to wring the juices from the fruit for cider and vinegar. In the 18th century, there were a large number of apple trees throughout New Jersey, and cider (hard/alcoholic) was a prevalent drink of the time. Vinegar would have been
used in recipes and food preservation, important in a time before refrigeration. Apples would also have been used for desserts and preserves and could be kept whole in cool, dry storage or cut into rings to dry for later use. The event is free, but donations to Rockingham are always welcome. Rockingham is located on Route 603 (Laurel Avenue/Kingston-Rocky Hill Road), one mile north of Route 27 in Kingston and one mile south of Route 518 in Rocky Hill.

The English-Speaking Union Focuses On All Things British
For more than a century, the English-Speaking Union has been holding educational and cultural exchange programs, lectures, and other events geared to Anglophiles across the nation and abroad. Prominent among them is the Princeton branch, which recently began its 2021-22 speaker series with a talk on the early years of author Agatha Christie. Princeton is one of 65 independently run branches throughout the United States. The mostly virtual gatherings will resume October 10 with a talk on “The Mitford Sisters,” and continue throughout next spring with topics ranging from “The Psychology of Alfred
Hitchcock” to “The Sport of Cricket.” Membership is open to anyone. “Princeton being the international hub that it is, we have a large contingent of expats,” said Christian Kirkpatrick, branch president. “We have people who may have spent a significant amount of time in England. And we have people who are just Anglophiles.” The branch has a number of members who are from England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. “I think, probably, members throughout the country feel a connection to England,” said Kirkpatrick, a writer and former editor. “But not all of the chapters are as British-
centric as our branch.” As important as the lectures, lavish afternoon tea spreads, holiday gatherings, and garden parties held by the Princeton branch are the educational programs. The group does tutoring in English for nonnative speakers, and awards scholarships. A key event is the Annual Shakespeare Competition, in which high school students compete for a chance to go to the national competition in New York City. The winner can go to England to study Shakespeare at London’s Globe Theatre. Another focus is T-Lab, in which the group sends New Jersey high school teachers to

summer programs at the University of Oxford, University of Edinburgh, and the Globe Theatre. Airfare and lodgings are paid for, and classes are free. Subjects include theater, history, and literature. Like most every other organization, the group has had to gather virtually during the pandemic instead of meeting at is usual site, All Saints’ Episcopal Church. “Although we can’t meet together and have our lavish refreshments afterward — tea sandwiches, cookies, pastries, and always sherry, there is one advantage,” said Kirkpatrick. “We can get speakers from anywhere. Last year we had several from the U.K. So we have been able to expand our reach in that way. We’re hoping that eventually we can go back to meeting in person, but if we can’t, we’ll just continue online.” The group meets about once a month during the academic year. Kirkpatrick finds speakers at Princeton University, Rutgers University, The College of New Jersey, and Westminster Choir College, and also draws from interviews on National Public Radio and articles she reads in publications like The Economist. Past topics have included Jane Austen, Brexit, and The Beatles. The group has hosted Scottish dance demonstrations, and performances of selections by Gilbert & Sullivan. “I think knowing something about another country and having some sense of its history gives one a perspective on one’s own country,” she said. “I just love England’s culture and history, and I try to keep up with its contemporary goings-on.” For more information, visit Princeton@euus.org. — Anne Levin

first-grader in Littlebrook. As a product of central New Jersey public school education myself, I have an understanding of the student experience and the importance of public education to the students and to the community as a whole.
Jeffrey Liao “My No. 1 priority is to ensure that Princeton Public Schools remain open for inperson learning despite the ongoing pandemic by ensuring that adequate, up-to-date, science-based precautions are taken to reduce the risk of outbreaks in our schools and to minimize their effects should they occur. Only by continuing such precautions as long as is necessary can we ensure that traditional, inperson learning can continue with minimal future disruptions to our children’s educational, social, and mental health needs, as well as the child care needs of working parents, without endangering the health of our students and district staff. “Fu r t h er m ore, i n a ny school district, resources are limited and public funds must be spent wisely based on a reasonable ordering of competing priorities. I believe it is important to distinguish higher-level from lower-level priorities and to secure reasonable value for dollars spent, without unnecessarily overburdening taxpayers. As a PPS parent, I am personally invested in ensuring that we can continue to maintain excellence in public education in a fiscally responsible and sustainable manner. “While maintaining excellence in instructional quality in our schools is certainly important, student success also requires a supportive, nurturing school environment that is attuned to the social and mental health needs of our students, especially in light of the additional stresses that have arisen during the ongoing pandemic. The Board and
school administration should proactively seek out and listen respectfully to student input in order to be more aware of the realities that students face at school, so as to be able to make better decisions that address students’ needs and concerns, broadly defined. “Finally, Asian Americans are Americans, but often are not perceived as such. To help improve public perceptions of Asian Americans, and to serve as a role model for the Asian American community, I am running to demonstrate that Asian Americans can and should actively engage with the institutions of civil society to help improve the society we share for the benefit of all who live here. My goal in seeking to serve on the Board is to help build a more inclusive society for all through increased civic participation and civic inclusion. In addition, I believe that by bringing my perspective to the Board, I will be able to help the Board better take into account the perspectives of the substantial Asian American community in our schools and town and improve communication between the Board and the community it serves (in both directions).” The four BOE candidates will participate in a virtual forum on Wednesday, October 6, at 7 p.m. Sponsored by the League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area, the forum will be live-streamed via facebook.com/PrincetonTelevision. It will be rebroadcast, and a recording will be posted at VOTE11. org and lwvprinceton.org. Questions for the candidates can be emailed to lwvprinceton@gmail.com. T he voter registration deadline, by mail or online, is October 12 (the voter registration form must be postmarked by this date). Voters in the upcoming election will not receive vote-by-mail ballots (which must be mailed in or placed in a special drop box) unless they have requested one. Early in-person voting will take place October 23-31 at any one of Mercer County’s eight in-person early-voting locations, and, of course, registered voters can vote by mail by November 2 Election Day, or vote in person at their polling locations on Election Day.

Offering Suggestions for Upgrades at Hazardous Crossing on Harrison Street
To the Editor: A “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” sign is now on the rail at the D & R Canal path walking south just before crossing Harrison Street. The D & R realized that they needed it to protect walkers, joggers, and bikers from those speeding from Route 1 and whipping past the crossover without stopping, warning light blinking or not. A response to requests for an upgrade has been that there are several jurisdictions that need to agree. Perhaps they are waiting for a fatality as happened at Rosedale Road before responding. Three suggestions: 1) Slow traffic from Route 1 to 30 mph; 2) Extend the blinking signal beyond the sharp curve before the intersection of Harrison and the path; and 3) Add a sign that violation brings points.

To the Editor: We write to share our unequivocal support for Brian McDonald for School Board because through his many acts of public service, he always puts our children and community first. Collectively, we’ve known Brian for nearly three decades, having met him through volunteer service and our schools. Jon coached with Brian in Princeton Little League for a number of years and witnessed firsthand how he took an “all-kids” approach to teaching and supporting all the children on his teams, which his players returned in-kind with a huge amount of enthusiasm. We all know Brian through various community and civic organizations, and all of our children have attended Princeton Public Schools. We are grateful for Brian’s exceptional service on the Board of Education. As a School Board member, Brian has shined with his clarity of thought, ability to listen, and a natural talent to lead and manage. Based on his highly diverse and successful background in the business and non-for-profit worlds, Brian has helped deepen and sharpen the district’s strategic and financial planning, while serving as the co-chair of both the finance and facilities and operations committees. The resulting improved budgeting processes and cost-savings initiatives have allowed the district to make critical investments in the school facilities, while keeping tax increases the lowest they’ve been in years. Brian has also shown a strong support for the district’s on-going initiatives to recognize and eliminate racism and inequities, as well as support for the mental and physical health of all our children, and the diversification of our teaching and administrative staffs. We believe it is critical to return Brian to the Board as the district faces so many tough issues about aging facilities, the health and well-being of our students and staff, and increasing enrollments. We wholeheartedly endorse Brian McDonald for a second term on the Board of Education, and hope you will, too. JON DURBIN Mt.

At first, Rubin wasn’t taken seriously; she was a rarity, a woman in science, and her fi ndings seemed almost incredible. Some observatories in midcentury America restricted women from using their large telescopes; Rubin was unable to collect her own data until a decade after she had earned her Ph.D. Still, she continued her groundbreaking work, driving a scientific revolution.

BOOK/RECORD REVIEW
“Use Your Imagination” — Thoughts on Lester Young and Baseball Prez won’t play a tune if he doesn’t know the lyric — the entire lyric. —Bobby Scott, from “The House in the Heart” What are your charms for? What are my arms for? Use your imagination ... —from “Just You, Just Me” ith the baseball playoffs looming and the St. Louis Cardinals riding a record-breaking winning streak, I’m in the car listening to Lester Young make love to “Just You, Just Me,” recorded in New York in December 1943, the year the Cards won the pennant and lost the World Series to the Yankees. Driving down the hill from the Kingston Post Office, I’m wondering what position Prez would play on a jazz all-star team, and by the time I get to River Road, I know he’d have to be the pitcher, telling a different story with each throw, deceptively smooth and dreamy, Ali-style, “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Sure enough, in his biography Lester Leaps In (2003), Douglas Daniels reports that while playing ball “with Basie’s Bad Boys,” Lester “wouldn’t think of letting anyone pitch but himself.” Known for a “backspinning” curve that made the batters hit grounders, “Prez could do anything,” according to his bandmate, altoist Earle Warren. A Giants Fan Looking for jazz as the city-to - city link in a New York Times story on the 2015 Mets/Royals World Series, sports reporter David Waldstein points out that Young made his name in Kansas City’s nightclub district “before migrating to New York, where he became not only a jazz giant but also a fan of the New York Giants baseball club.” He also played on Count Basie’s team “as a pitcher with nimble fingers.” But not so nimble the time he was shaving, getting ready for a gig at Birdland while listening intently to the radio as the Giants faced the Dodgers in the deciding game of the 1951 National League playoff. When Bobby Thomson won the pennant for New York with the “Shot Heard ’Round the World,” Young was so excited that he cut himself “badly enough that he had some difficulty playing that night.” Riding High In a piece on “the ten best postseason pushes” in Major League history (mlb. com, September 14, 2021), Anthony Castrovince dates the Giants’ amazing run to September 14, 1951, when

And then? A Game of Catch “I’ll tell you where it starts, it starts with a game of catch,” Adam Wainwright says, quoted by Tyler Kepner in his feature, “A Pitcher from Another Era Goes the Distance” (New York Times, September 17, 2021). “I see so many pitchers now — throwers now — playing fetch instead of catch. A good game of catch is where learning how to pitch really starts.” “Real pitchers are artists out there,” Wainwright tells Kepner, “and they’re painting their picture as the game goes on. There’s a lot of different ways to get to the end result. Sometimes a hitter makes you do different things, and that’s what pitching is all about — changing speeds, changing angles, changing up and down, in and out, up and in, down and away.” As Kepner says of Wainwright, “in concer t with his timeless battery mate, catcher Yadier Molina, he is coy with details. Secrecy matters, he explained.” With a few verbal adjustments, Wainwright could be describing what Lester Young is “all about.” According to jazz writer Stanley Dance: “Irrespective of tempo, his melodic invention was always strange and haunting. On a jump number, he would impose a weird mood; a ballad was transformed into a nostalgic song, searching and mysterious.” “Just You, Just Me” ith lyrics by Raymond Klages and music by Jesse Greer, “Just You, Just Me” has been recorded “hundreds of times by over one hundred artists,” according to jazzstanddards. com, since a ukulele-stumming soldier (Lawrence Gray) crooned it to a spirited French girl played by Marion Davies in a 1929 early talkie called Marianne.

Now in its fourth year, the HoBART art show in Frenchtown will feature an expanded list of some of the area’s leading sculptors, artists, and artisans spanning the Delaware river region from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The show — on October 2, 3, 9, and 10 — offers a unique opportunity to experience sculpture installations by contemporary artists in a private outdoor setting, among rolling hills, historic barns, and a beautiful native landscape. Both an indoor and outdoor show, guests are invited to explore the property’s several outbuildings which will house sculpture, paintings, and contemporar y glass art. All artwork is for sale directly from the artists. Social distancing and mask wearing will be encouraged. Exhibiting artists include sculptors Oki Fukunaga, Har r y H. G ordon, K ate Graves, Ray King, Bruce Lindsay, Rory Mahon, Eric Schultz, and Steven Snyder; mixed media artists Robert T. Cooke, Ilene Dube, Aylin Green, Joy Kreves, Hilary Peirce, and Mayfield Williams; painters Jacqueline Haut Evans, Lauren Johns on, A ma nda Pene c a le, Mike Pantuso, Karen Schoenitz, Joe Strasser, and Kaz a a n V i ve i r o s ; d r aw i n g and 2D media artist Haley Manchon; ceramic artists Rebecca Graham and Debbie Reichard; jeweler Jessica Mueller; glass blower and sculptor Don Gonzalez; weaver Martha Gonzalez; and woodworker Hayden Geurds. Paul Steinbeiser, who is hosting this event, specializes in native landscape design and custom stonework, and will be available for consultations and discussions about embracing concepts of sustainability to create a healthy landscape environment using native plants in organic and whimsical natural designs. In keeping with his love of beauty, history, and sustainability, Steinbeiser is a believer in restoration and preservation of old structures, such as the reclaimed “H a n n a h S h aw” w a g o n
which he relocated and restored. His own home and other outbuildings are based on a 1780s Delaware Valley farmhouse in which he used reclaimed beams, flooring and other materials saved over the years. HoBART 2021 is part of a collaborative effort by River Arts Creatives, a collective of arts organizations, galleries, and businesses celebrating and promoting art and creativity in the Delaware River towns. Show dates are October 2, 3, 9, and 10 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 718 County Route 519 in Frenchtow n. For more information, visit facebook.com/hobartartshow.

This bothered and frustrated me for years as I struggled to create hundreds of works that were noticeably similar to prove some sort of creative maturity that those paintings would represent, only to settle in on 20 or so works and then lose interest. This approach was stifling for me as one who loves the variety of artists and painting styles and the many things an artist can do on a two-dimensional surface I was well into my fifties before I stopped trying to harness my talents to that idea and started painting what I wanted, when I wanted, and how I wanted and that is when the creative output exploded. “There are really only a few basic rules of color and composition that work for most stylistic trends in painting and this exhibition is a series of varied examples of those rules, hence the title ‘Same Thing Only Different.’ Viera’s artwork has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, the Nassau County Museum, and locally at the Ellarslie Museum in Trenton among others, and he has taught at the Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute in

New Orbis Wealth Management Company Offers Comprehensive Financial Planning
P
eace of mind. There is nothing like it — especially in times of uncertainty. There has been a lot to make people nervous during the past year and a half. The pandemic, obviously, but also strains in the political system, worries over jobs and income, dealing w ith school and office closings, necessitating adapting to new virtual means of managing these responsibilities, and the frequent and extreme changes in weather patterns — you name it. There’s a lot out there to boost stress levels!
IT’S NEW To Us
A nd cer tainly, no one wants to contemplate running out of money, and this has been another area of concern for many individuals recently. A trusted financial planner can be very helpful to people, whatever their financial status, and having such an adviser by your side may alleviate many money worries, and indeed reinforce that peace of mind Compass and Circle Robert Marronaro, CFP,
senior wealth advisor and Tim Urie, CFP, wealth advisor are partners in Orbis Wealth. A n independent wealth management company, with offices at 116 Village Boulevard in Forrestal Village, and also in Roseland, it opened this past April. “Orbis” is the Latin word meaning compass and circle, explain the partners. “It represents many aspects of Orbis Wealth — whether it is the circular nature of the financial planning process — or a client’s family sitting at a table where we guide them to ensure that their economic values pass through every generation.” “Orbis Wealt h was launched to create a commitment to excellence,” continues Urie. “Clients join a fee-only, fiduciary organization, whose advisers guide them through a thoughtful financial planning process. Customized, individualized financial planning is a hallmark of Orbis, adds Marronaro. “What truly matters to you? This is the question we ask clients. We practice ‘behavioral’ finance. It’s not just about investing. It involves people skills. We get to know the clients, their lifestyle, and their personal and professional goals.” Concern for their clients’
welfare is a reflection of both Urie’s and Marronaro’s early plans to become teachers. “I always enjoyed helping people, and I was considering a teaching career,” says Marronaro. “I was a business major in college, however, and I realized that this is a way to educate and help people too.” “We both entered college interested in education and teaching,” adds Urie. “But I was also always interested in investment, and I saw how this work can help create security for people.” Trusted Association Both partners have spent their careers working with various financial service organizations, and both have always focused on establishing a strong, enduring relationship with clients, resulting in a trusted association. “We help people whatever their style of life and circumstances. Whether they are younger people starting out or those ready for retirement, there is a place for everyone with us.” Helping clients with retirement and estate planning, establishing college funds, life insurance plans, determining tax issues, and more are all part of the Orbis purview. “Our detailed planning process allows us to
SERVICE AND SECURITY: “As a small firm, we can be more nimble, and provide more services to clients. We are a comprehensive independent fiduciary firm, covering a wide range of financial services. A particular area of our focus is on the transfer of wealth to the next generation.” Partners in their new company, Orbis Wealth, Tim Urie, CFP, (left) and Robert Marronaro, CFP, are both certified financial planners. completely understand each client’s personal and financial situation, objectives, risk balance, and time horizon for establishing their goals,” explains Marronaro. This careful attention to detail results in a number of client benefits: creation of customized portfolios ; help in minimizing tax liabilities ; estate planning advice; analysis of existing risk mitigation and insurance strategies; and review of existing debt and liability structures and utilization of better options, if possible. “General Practitioners” The two partners point out that they serve as “general practitioners,” prov iding comprehensive financial expertise, and each offers his own area of special interest. Their core clients are those targeting income planning and those close to retirement. “My clients are typically in their forties,” says Urie. “They are interested in college funds for their kids, life insurance, and growing their assets. They may also be concerned with care for aging parents.” He adds, “Younger people may not know how to purchase a house, deal with a mortgage, or organize their financial planning. We can help with all of this, and get them on the right path. We want to help people to take action and make financial planning a priority.”
Marronaro’s clients are older, often nearing retirement or already retired. “They are typically in their sixties up to 80 and older,” he reports. “They want to be sure they won’t run out of money and can retain their lifestyle. Longevity is a consideration with a number of clients. We do the ‘what ifs?’ What if you get sick, what if you continue to live longer? You need to plan for all of this, and always for the unexpected. You should have an emergency fund. This is basic financial planning 101.” “Also,” he adds, “We understand that some people are uncomfor table dealing with financial advisers, and it is important to build trust. We encourage people to ask questions so we can help them understand how to protect their assets.” Extensive Expertise Each client has a different set of circumstances and different needs, and this is uppermost in Urie’s and Marronaro’s focus. The client always comes first. “We recognize that no client’s financial life is one-dimensional. Using our extensive expertise in investing, tax management, risk mitigation, and other areas, we coordinate all the elements of your financial life in order to help you reach your bottom line goals. “Successful investment management star ts w ith

discipline. It is the cornerstone of your financial future. We work to achieve our clients’ goals through the appropriate balance of asset growth and income. Through extensive research, tactical allocation, and focused risk modeling and management, our portfolios help clients stick with their plan and achieve their longterm goals.” I nve s t m e n t s w i l l v a r y depending on the clients’ wealth and age, points out Urie. “We also make a real effort to educate clients and help them understand that this is not an exact science. But we can make reasonable assumptions with reference to risk tolerance, and work for a positive outcome. “T here w ill always be something coming up that you didn’t expect. But with diversification and careful planning, and doing the homework, we w ill help people get through it.” Adds Marronaro, “Once clients gain more understanding of their situation, they worry less. They know they are on the right track. This is one of the big benefits of having a financial planner.” As the partners look toward the future of their new company, they are optimistic about what lies ahead. “We look forward to adding an office in New York City, growing our business, and to establishing a partnership with other financial planners across the country. This way, we will be able to give even more time to our clients. “We enjoy interacting with our clients, who are different ages, w it h dif ferent educational and economic backgrounds. Gaining their trust and friendship, and u lt imately helping t hem achieve that all important peace of mind is our greatest reward.” or more information and to make an ap pointment, call (973) 307-3236, or visit the website at orbiswealth.com. —Jean Stratton

Smith’s Passing, Rushing Helps PU Football Rout Stetson, No. 23 Tigers Primed for Ivy Opener Against Columbia
C
ole Smith realizes that he is shouldering a lot of responsibility stepping into the starting quarterback spot for the Princeton University football team. “I have pressure upon myself,” said senior Smith. “But we are going to go out here and, just the way we prepare from the coach down during the week, it lifts it off our shoulders.” In dealing with that pressure, Smith has gotten a lift from his predecessors. “It is getting into a rhythm of how to prepare with school going on,” said Smith. “Everybody deals with that, it is a different mindset. I have had previous quarterbacks — John Lovett, Chad Kanoff, Kevin Davidson, and Zach Keller — reaching out to me and just being as helpful as they possibly could. That is just the Princeton brotherhood, it is unbelievable.” Smith is proving to be a worthy successor to those former Tiger QBs, passing for 412 yards and three touchdowns in a 32-0 win over Lehigh in the opener on September 18 and following that up with another superb performance last Saturday against Stetson in Princeton’s home opener. Smith hit on 15-of-24 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for
24 yards and two TDs on five carries as the Tigers rolled to a 63-0 win over the Hatters before 4,449 at Princeton Stadium. Against Stetson, Smith used his legs to get the Tigers in the lead, running for a nine-yard touchdown as Princeton jumped ahead 7-0. After two field goals from Jeffrey Sexton, Smith ran for another score as the Tigers built a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter and the rout was on. Finding a groove in the passing game after some early misfires, Smith ended the half with a pair of TD passes hitting Jacob Birmelin for a 30-yard scoring strike and then finding Andrei Iosivas for a 41-yard score as Tigers led 35-0 by halftime. “Coach was calling shots from the beginning. I missed on a couple of those and it was just staying to it,” said the 6’1, 210-pound Smith, a native of Knoxville, Tenn. “We practiced every single day this week and it was just talking with the mindset that stuff is going to happen. It is our first home game and we are just trying go through the ups and downs of the game and try to stay level-headed.” Getting their first home game since November 16, 2019 after last season was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, Smith and his
teammates were fired up to be playing at Princeton Stadium. “It was surreal; it felt good to be back at home, it has been a minute or two,” said Smith. “Overall it was just fun.” Smith has been having fun guiding the Tiger offense. “The protection up front has been phenomenal the last two games,” said Smith. “It has been really nice to sit back there and be able to go through reads and what not but then also the run game is looking good too.” The Princeton defense looked very good in posting its second straight shutout, holding the Hatters to a net 26 yards rushing and 171 yards passing. Senior linebacker Cole Aubrey, who had one sack in the victory, said the defense fed off its fans. “It is good just to play in front of our home crowd and defend the home turf,” said Aubrey, a 6’2, 215-pound native of Laguna Niguel, Calif. “Emotions were high before the game, we were getting hyped. It is good to have a shutout and defend the house.” The Tigers were particularly strong against the run, stifling a Stetson team that came into the game averaging 262.5 yards rushing as it got off to a 2-0 start.

We set the edge and all of that. They struggled and we were happy.” Aubrey is very happy with how the Princeton defense is playing so far this year. “I think we have been playing fast to the ball,” said Aubrey. “You can’t complain with the results with the shutouts. We are going to try to build off of the momentum.” Princeton head coach Bob Surace was fired up to see his team finally getting to play again at home. “It was such an energy, you feed off the kids when they are happy and joyful,” said Surace. “The chemistry is really awesome, you feel great for them.” Surace credited Smith with getting off to great start as he has stepped into the starting QB role. “His command operationally had just been terrific, literally right from the start,” said Surace. “He has been really accu-
rate. We have to clean up some stuff. Our receivers have been great. He has been such a poised leader; it has been fun to see his maturation.” The team’s group of receivers has been showing its maturity. “They have all played a lot with Kevin [Davidson] and played a little bit with Johnny [Lovett] in the undefeated season [in 2018] so you have veteran guys,” said Surace, who got five catches for 67 yards from senior Birmelin, one catch for 41 yards from junior Iosivas, four catches for 67 yards and a TD from senior Dylan Classi, and two catches for 29 yards from senior tight end Carson Bobo. “It is not just that they are catching the ball,” said Surace. “Classi and Bobo had some great catches, but they also block for each other. On Classi’s touchdown, it wasn’t just Dylan, it was guys blocking. They all support each other.” The Tiger defense is supporting the offense. “We are really running to the ball

and tackling well. I thought they tempoed us a couple of times and we adjusted,” said Surace. “The first time they did it, we were a little sloppy. I thought we got better with that. They are playing hard, they are playing with energy. We played a lot of guys today defensively, as many as we could, and they all seem to step up.” Aubrey has been stepping up at linebacker. “We struggled to block him in camp,” said Surace of Aubrey who had two sacks in the opening day win over Lehigh. “We have some really good offensive linemen and he was giving us fits. When a guy is doing that, you know it is going to happen in a game.” The Tigers are girding for a big game this Saturday as they host Columbia (2-0) in the Ivy League opener for both teams. “I haven’t seen them yet but you know how physical they are,” said Surace, whose team is now ranked No. 23 nationally in the Athlon FCS Top 25 poll. “You know what Al [Bagnoli] has brought to that program and the players he has recruited. They have been some great battles recently with them. The last time we played here in 2019, it was a 21-10 game. That was an outright fight. You can’t not respect the job he has done at Penn and now Columbia. The buy-in he has there is just tremendous.” Smith is ready for a big fight against the Lions. “This is what we play for ultimately,” said Smith. “We love getting two wins early on but ultimately, in a league like ours with no postseason, the regular season is the postseason. We need to have a great week of practice and come out swinging.” —Bill Alden
After starting 0-3 this fall in its first action since 2019 with last season having been canceled due to COVID-19 concer ns, t he Pr inceton University field hockey team started clicking in recent weeks. Princeton edged Delaware 3-2 on September 17 for its first win and then routed Boston University 7-0 two days later. The 17th-ranked Tigers started last week by falling 4-3 in overtime at No. 9 Maryland and then started their Ivy League campaign in style by posting a 5-1 win at Penn last Friday. “I definitely think we have seen it come together as we have moved on,” said Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente. “We are much, much better than the first couple of weekends.” Last Sunday, things didn’t come together for the Tigers as they hosted No. 10 Rutgers. Princeton jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on a goal by freshman star Beth Yeager off a penalty corner 2:10 into the contest but the Scarlet Knights responded with three unanswered goals over the rest of the game to prevail 3-1. “I like the way we started; from that point we had a lot of great attack transition but we just kept running into tackles,” said Tagliente, whose team dropped to 3-5 overall with the setback. “It was like a double turnover coming back at us the other way. I knew we couldn’t sustain that and that is what really broke us
in the second half.” In Tagliente’s view, her squad can learn a valuable lesson from the defeat. “The message is if we are going to play at this level and play a team of this caliber, we really need to be on our game” said Tagliente of the contest which was knotted 1-1 at halftime before Rutgers pulled away with a pair of goals in the third period. “I think they are the best team we have played yet. I don’t think we were quite there today but I think we have it in us. It just wasn’t there.” While Princeton showed some spark on offense, it struggled at the other end of the field. “We still need to clean up a lot on defense, we are just really suspect back there,” said Tagliente. “You can almost feel it that we are going to get broken and we did. We need to clean that up. We have gained a lot of ground in terms of just our attack transition and just being a threat in the attack end.” The precocious Yeager has been a bright spot for the Tiger attack, leading the team in goals (8) and assists (6). “She is doing great, there are sometimes when I think she tries to take too much on and ends up gassing herself out a little too much,” said Tagliente of Yeager. “You can see she is a pretty formidable player and pretty
impactful on both sides of the ball. She is still growing and making the transition from high school too. I know she has played with the U.S. team but it is still a transition. She is starting to settle in and understand her role. Her impact is just going to keep growing as the year goes on.” Other Tigers have been making an impact as Princeton has gone 3-2 after the 0-3 start. “S a m my [ Popp er ] has played a lot better in the middle,” added Tagliente. “Claire [ Donovan ] has dinged in a bunch of goals here and there and had some corners. Ali [McCarthy] had a great game against Penn. It has been different players coming along. Gabby [Andretta] has played great at center back; some of those games could be a bigger score line if she weren’t bailing us out.” With the Tigers hosting Yale on October 1 and No. 6 UConn on October 3, Tagliente believes the Tigers can build on the effort against Rutgers despite the disappointing result. “Sometimes we start to see it come together and then we play a team like these guys, they are a top 5 team,” said Tagliente. “You feel like you take a step back because you don’t win. It is not really a step back, I think it is still a good game for us.” —Bill Alden

Lucia Marckioni and Sophia Kim have forged a historic partnership at doubles for the Princeton High girls’ tennis program. The pair were teamed together as freshmen in 2018 to play doubles for the PHS JV squad. A year later, they moved up to varsity and earned the first doubles spot. Wasting no time proving how formidable they were, Marckioni and Kim won the title in their event at the Mercer County Tournament. Last fall, they stayed together and went undefeated but were unable to defend their MC T crow n as the event was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns. Competing in the county tourney last week at the Mercer County Park tennis complex, Marckioni and Kim finally got the chance to win another MCT title and they came through in dominant fashion. They posted four straight-set wins on the way to the crown, including a 6-3, 6-3 win over Sabrina Chang and Kirthi Chigurupati of WW/P-North in the final. In the view of Marckioni, getting the second MCT title was worth the wait. “It feels amazing, we feel like it is well deserved,” said Marckioni of the title which helped PHS place fourth in the team standings at the event won by WW/P-South. “It was unfortunate last year we couldn’t have it to win. This year just means that much more.”
Kim is looking for the pair to enjoy a memorable final campaign. “It is our senior year, we want it to be the best year we have had,” said Kim. Having faced the WW/PNorth team earlier in the season, Kim and Marckioni used that experience to help them prevail. “We have played them before, so we knew what we were coming into,” said Kim. “We just knew that we had to play our game and stay strong.” Marckioni noted that the strength of the pair comes from supporting each other in the fire of competition. “We just go into it one point at time,” said Marckioni. “We just help motivate each other during the game. We keep each other on track.” Over the years, the two have developed a telepathy on the court. “It is at the point where we just look at each other,” added Kim. “We do say things but we already know before the other person says it.” With a state doubles tournament coming up in early October, Kim and Marckioni are hoping to add another title to their resume as they have been placed in the 5-8 seeding group for the event. “We have been looking forward to that because sophomore year we were against the first seed in the states,” said Kim. “We just need to maintain our goals and stay focused on one point at a time. We know each other’s weakness-
es so we help each other out there.” PHS head coach Sarah Hibbert was thrilled to see Kim and Marckioni come through with a second MCT title. “It is great for them, they are such a solid doubles pair, they really play so well together,” said Hibbert. “I have been trying to think back and I don’t think I have had a team be a pair for four years ever. I had planned on splitting them sophomore year when they moved to varsity because I like putting a more experienced player with a newer player. We had two seniors and two sophomores but then I watched the two of them play together and saw their chemistry. They were a much better pairing than split apart. As players they were better as a team than individually. They just really clicked.” The pair clicked last week, culminating their championship run with a convincing win in the final. “In the first set of the first match, they were still getting their footing but once they got into the match they rolled for five, six sets,” said Hibbert. “They had a bit more of a challenge in the final. It is a team they have seen before and they knew they would have to be on their game. They came out really strong. Doubles is always a bit of a roller coaster ride. With four people on the court, somebody is always going to have a hot streak and somebody is

ENCORE PERFORMANCE: The Princeton High girls’ tennis first doubles team of Lucia Marckioni, left, and Sophia Kim enjoy the moment in a 2020 match. Last Wednesday, seniors Marckioni and Kim won the first doubles title at the Mercer County Tournament for the second time. Their heroics helped PHS place fourth in the team standings at the event.

It is exciting for them and for the team to win.” PHS sophomore Eva Lependorf had a good tournament as well, taking fourth at first singles “Eva played really hard in that first match; she played a great middle of the second set and then a couple of things just didn’t go her way and it was a little frustrating for her,” said Hibbert of Lependorf, who fell 6-2, 7-5 to Hun’s Amanda Francis in the
semis. “She worked really hard, she is a solid player for us. It is a strong county, there are a lot of good singles players out there, particularly in first singles. It will help going into states and the rest of the individual team matches.” With the states starting next week, Hibbert believes her squad can have a strong run in the wake of their effort at the MCT. “Overall, we had tough draws; all of the girls that went out the other day lost to the first or second seed,” said Hibbert, whose team

Junior Transfer Villamil Making Sudden Impact, Helping PHS Girls’ Volleyball Produce 6-3 Start Moving north from Florida, Sarah Villamil has found a home with the Princeton High girls’ volleyball team. “We are all about having a positive mindset,” said PHS junior Villamil, who came to the Princeton area from Broward County in South Florida. “It is about being ready and having the mindset that you are going to win and fighting for and getting it.” Last Thursday, Villamil and PHS had a fight on their hands as they hosted Notre Dame.
The Tigers jumped out to a 20-13 lead in the first set only to see the Irish battle back to make it 25-25. “You can’t waste the energy that you have on being concerned,” said Villamil, reflecting on the Notre Dame rally. “You have to waste it on getting the point and getting the win.” Villamil ended up getting the winning point on a kill as PHS pulled out a 27-25 win. “It just kind of happened,” said Villamil. “Once it hap-

pened, it was a crazy feeling, knowing that you did it.” In the second set, the Tigers found themselves in another battle as the teams were tied at 12-12. With Villamil leading the way at the net, PHS took the set 25-20 to win the match 2-0. “I think what made the difference for the whole game was the attitude and having the right energy that we are going to fight back and that we are going to win,” said Villamil, who had a match-high nine kills, three digs, and five service points in the win. “It is believing in yourself that you are going to do it and going out and getting it. It is not wasting any time doubting yourself.” Villamil is having a good time carving out a key role with her new team. “It is just to do your best and give the team what you can and have fun doing it,” said Villamil, who contributed 11 kills as PHS defeated WW/P-South
2-0 (25-23, 25-15) last Monday to improve to 6-3. “We all just bring such an energy when we are all playing together. It is an amazing time to play with everybody.” PHS head coach Patty Manhart likes the way her squad is playing in recent weeks after it started the season 0-2. “We have been inconsistent every so often, I feel like we are starting to come together,” said Manhart. “This was a new starting lineup for us, last year we graduated six seniors. It is just figuring it out, getting used to who are you are next to, trusting your teammates. It is good to see things click.” The arrival of new face Villamil has been a big plus for the Tigers. “Sarah is adding power and height; she he is just an aggressive hitter,” asserted Manhart. “She is smart, she can block, she can hit. We keep her in on serve receive. If the team is down, it is let’s go to Sarah on this one and she can side us out.”
Manhart credited Villamil with playing a big role in the win over Notre Dame. “A lot of times it is where we are in that rotation so it worked out that was when Sarah was up front,” said Manhart. “That just wrapped up a couple of points.” While the win was encouraging, Manhart knows her team needs to be sharper defensively. “We always struggle on serve receive but we know we can do it,” said Manhart. “Once we are able to get out of our own heads on serve receive and pass the ball, we can side out. We just get stuck out there on the passing sometimes.” Senior captain and libero Shiffon Qian is doing some good things for the Tigers. “This is her first year in that starting libero spot consistently and she is really working hard,” said Manhart of Qian who had nine digs and an assist against Notre Dame. “Shiffon is getting more digs, she has really been ad-
ditive on defense and that is really helpful. She is very focused and is always asking for feedback. She wants to do well in that position and it shows.” With PHS having posted wins in six of its last seven matches, Manhart is looking for her squad to keep raising the level of its game. “We need to pass better on serve receive and learn how to side out right away and have no peaks and valleys,” said Manhart, whose team hosts Lawrenceville School on September 30, plays at Florence on October 2, and then hosts Hopewell Valley on October 4. “I am not making any major changes, I am happy with the lineup. It is just having that consistency moving forward.” Villamil, for her part, believes that the Tigers just need to stay in the moment to keep getting better. “We just want focus on one game at a time, one play at a time, do our best and have fun with it,” said Villamil. —Bill Alden

Even though his Princeton High football team lost 2721 to Cherry Hill East on September 18 to fall to 0-3, Charlie Gallagher saw progress. “We played much better I was very happy with what the guys did in the Cherry Hill game,” said PHS head coach G allagher, whose senior quarterback Jaxon Petrone passed for 223 yards and two touchdowns in the defeat. “Jaxon and the wide receivers are get t ing better. We are doing different schemes and getting everybody to mesh, including the coaches, so we are all on the same page.” Things got even better last Friday night as PHS traveled south to Bishop Eustace and came away with a 15-12 win. The Tigers jumped out to a 15-0 lead in the second quarter as Everaldo Servil scored on a TD pass from Petrone and Tyler Goldberg added a second touchdown on a three-yard run. Bishop Eustace responded w it h a late score in the second quarter. The Crusaders added another TD in the fourth quarter but the PHS was able to run out the clock to earn the win. Gallagher tipped his hat to his defense which held the fort in the second half. “They did a really nice job, they were on the field the whole entire third quarter,” said Gallagher, whose team snapped a seven-game losing streak with its last win coming when it edged Bishop Eustace 18-17 in overtime last October.
“I think we had three plays offensively in the third quarter. They were on the field for about 10 and a half minutes. It was bend but don’t break, they didn’t give up a lot of big plays. They made Bishop Eustace work for every yard, which was awesome. We didn’t give up huge rushing yards, we didn’t give them huge passing yards. We got a turnover in the second half, it was real nice to swing the momentum back to us.” T h e PH S f r o nt s e ve n boasted several individual standouts. “We got a kid, Jake Richter, doing a great job at defensive end, Zach Okoye also really stepped up,” said Gallagher. “We have some young linebackers and they played great ball. Ryan Friedman is a junior and is doing well. Juda Marks is a freshman getting a lot of playing time at outside linebacker. Anthony Famiglietti has found a home at middle linebacker and he is only a sophomore. They are playing hard and they are learning the position. They are getting better every week which is great. It bodes well for the future.” The Tiger offense sealed the deal with a marathon possession. “What was super impressive was that we got the ball with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and we controlled the clock for the rest of game,” said Gallagher. “We didn’t give it back, we were able to mix it up. There was a pass to Everaldo that got us going. We just ate up
the clock.” Petrone piled up some impressive stats in the win, con ne c t i ng on 12- of-19 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown and a team-high 53 yards rushing. Ser vil made five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown with Jaiden Johnson getting five receptions for 86 yards. “Our offense has been clicking, we have really got to focus on high percentage passing,” said Gallagher. “I think Jaxon is under 50 percent right now passing. This week he was over 60 percent. A goal of ours each week is to be throwing the ball for better than 60 percent. Jaxon, Jaiden, and Everaldo are keys to our success. We have to be able to get the ball in their hands, both had five catches apiece. Both running backs got a catch this week for some nice gains. We need to get the ball to more guys.” The guys enjoyed the long ride home from Bishop Eustace. “There were some sing-alongs,” said Gallagher. “If they had a dance floor on the bus, they would have done a break dance. It was good ride home. It was fun.” The Tigers will look to have more fun when they play at Audubon High (3-1) on October 2. “We have to have a really great film session on Monday and have a really great week of practice,” said Gallagher. “We are going to focus on the passing game, there is no doubt about that. We have to have a great intermediate passing game. We have big-time players that can make big plays.” —Bill Alden
Senior Star Vasquez Steps Up Offensive Production As PDS Boys’ Soccer Tops Lawrenceville, WW/P-S William Vasquez ran to the sidelines with a bloody nose last Friday as the Princeton Day School boys’ soccer team hosted WW/P-South. But the PDS senior star cracked a smile as he got treated, having just scored a goal to give the Panthers a 2-1 lead. “I got a bloody nose when I was celebrating over there,” said Vasquez. After nosing ahead of the Pirates, PDS never looked back on the way to a 4-1 win. The Panthers controlled the second half, get ting goals from Theo Capeilleries and Joaquin Rodriguez as they closed the deal. “We had them on our half and once we scored that third goal, we kept going,” said Vasquez. “We learned from past experiences that we can’t let up, even if it is 3-1 up or 4-1 up. We have to play like it is 0-0 every time.” It did take a while for PDS to get going as it fell behind 1-0 three minutes into the contest. “When we were down onenil, we just had to keep our heads up and keep going,” said Vasquez. “Once we got that first goal, we started playing well.” Vasquez helped the Panthers get that first goal, sending a ball into the box that Todd Devin headed into the back of the net with 19:11 left in the half. “I think Milan [Shah] had a great play on that,” said Vasquez. “He fed it to me and I saw Todd on the far post. I had to give it to him.” With just under four min-
utes left in the half, Vasquez dribbled past WW/P-South defenders and fired a low volley past the Pirate keeper. “I beat him and then I beat him again,” said Vasquez of the Pirate defender. “I knew I had to put it on my right foot because that is my strong foot and I just put it in the bottom left to finish it off. It was a great moment.” The tally gave Vasquez his second straight big game as he also tallied a goal and an assist in a 2-1 win over Lawrenceville on September 22. “I think it is just switching where I am at,” said Vasquez, reflecting on his recent surge. “At the start I was on the left side and then he put me at striker. I think just switching me up, that is what is working for me at the moment.” PDS first-year head coach Brian Thomsen likes what he is seeing from Vasquez. “He is hav ing a good week, he dinged one off the post in the first two minutes against Lawrenceville,” said Thomsen. “Then he got fouled in the box, took a penalty and you could see his energy change. A confident player is a confident player.” The team’s confident play collectively against the Pirates was a product of hard work. “We have been talking about that all week, just changing the mentality a little bit,” said Thomsen. “If we don’t have a good mentality and we don’t want to work hard and we don’t want to win 50/50 balls and
we don’t what to do all of the small things that win games then we are not going to have success.” PDS showed that mentality in pulling away to the win. “We talked about that at halftime, that we have to play with confidence,” said Thomsen. “We have to get the third goal so that we open the game up a little bit.” In addition to Vasquez, junior goalie John Mazzarisi, senior defender Connor Topping, and junior midfielder Ro dr ig uez als o had big games in the win. “John played unbelievable in goal, Connor played fantastic,” said Thomsen. “I thought with Joaquin, once we moved him back to center defensive mid, he really controlled the tempo of the game, which is incredible.” Thomsen likes the spirit he is seeing from his players in his first year at the helm of the program. “The boys are enjoying the season so it is going to be good,” said Thomsen, whose team fell 3 -2 to W W/ PNorth last Monday to drop to 3-4 and will host Peddie School on September 29, Blair Academy on October 2, and Pingry School on October 5. Vasquez, for his part, is enjoying playing for Thomsen. “I love coach BT, he talks to us and tells us what we are supposed to do and he is smart with his decisions, what side we should be on and everything,” said Vasquez. “I feel like we are communicating better, there is better chemistry by far. I am excited.” —Bill Alden

Gaining Valuable Experience at MCT, PDS Girls’ Tennis Primed for State Sectional Coming into the Mercer County Tournament last week, the Princeton Day School girls’ tennis team wasn’t battle-tested. Due to rainouts and the tournament being held earlier in September than in past years, PDS had only played two matches before hitting the courts at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. The Panthers made up for some lost time, seeing plenty of action at the twoday event, highlighted by sophomore Kristina Wang placing third at second sin-
gles and the pair of Ashlyn Du and junior Sophie Zhang taking fourth at first doubles. “I love playing as many matches as you can,” said PDS head coach Michael Augsberger, whose squad ended up tied for sixth overall with Lawrence High in the team standings at the event won by WW/P-South. “We were at t he U.S. Open on the first day, we went up as a team for a bonding experience. This reminds me of that, obviously on a smaller scale, with the excitement, everyone
KRIS-CROSS: Princeton Day School girls’ tennis player Kristina Wang prepares to hit a backhand last week at the Mercer County Tournament. Sophomore Wang placed third at second singles in the event, helping PDS tie for sixth overall with Lawrence High in the team standings. In upcoming action, the Panthers have a match at WW/P-South on September 29 before starting play in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Non-Public A South sectional where it is seeded fourth and will host fifth-seeded Red Bank Catholic in a quarterfinal match on October 5.

rooting for each other and being all over the grounds. They love it.” Wang appears to have an exciting future at singles. “She is such a grinder, she plays marathon matches,” said Augsberger of Wang, who posted a 6-2, 6-1 win over Hun’s Sabrina Wang in the third place match. “She played three hours today and look how fresh she still looks. I am really proud of her.” Augsberger was also proud of his first doubles pair of Du and Zhang. “It is getting over the nerves in the first tournament and putting it together with limited time in the beginning of the season,” said Augsberger. “I think consistency really stands out, they are tough to get the ball past. What we need to work on is finishing. I think that is across the board. The consistency is there, they will always stay in points that way but sometimes you need to be aggressive. In tennis, you can’t fall over the line to win, you have to run across the line.” In Augsberger’s v iew, the experience at the MCT should help PDS produce a strong finish this fall. “We have a lot of dual matches to get in and we are really looking forward to the state tournaments, we are in preps and this is our first time in the NJSIAA (New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association),” said Augsberger, whose team has a match at W W/P-South on September 29 before starting NJSIAA state competition where it is seeded fourth in the Non-Public A South sectional and will host fifthseeded Red Bank Catholic in a quarterfinal match on October 5. “We are really looking forward to that because we want to be tested against the best. This is a great example of it here.” —Bill Alden
With Francis Making Run to 1st Singles Final, Hun Girls’ Tennis Takes 3rd at County Tennis Amanda Francis found herself in a bind as she played in the second set of the girls’ first singles semifinals at the Mercer County Tournament last Wednesday. “I was down 2-5 in the second set so I really had to battle because I didn’t want it to go to a third set,” said Hun School junior Francis, reflecting on her match with Eva Lependorf of Princeton High at the Mercer County Park tennis complex. “The first set I was really consistent; I played aggressive. In the second set, the girl really stepped up her level. I really needed to make sure that I competed hard as well.” Francis rallied to pull out a 6-2, 7-5 win and earn a spot in the final against Leticia Kitio of Lawrence High. Coming into the match, Francis realized she was in for a battle. “I knew Leticia going in; my game plan was to get one more ball back and to be aggressive when I can be,” said Francis. “I wanted to win off of my consistency because I know she can rip it and I just have to stay mentally tough.” Francis showed her toughness even though Kitio prevailed 7-5, 6-4. “I thought I performed pretty well, it went back and forth,” said Francis, whose second-place finish at first singles helped Hun take third in the team standings at the event won by WW/P-South. “I held a lot of my service games so I was happy about that. Her serve is really powerful and I actually broke her serve once. I was happy about that. If I played her again, I think I should be more aggressive and try and mix it up.” Reflecting on the progress in her game, Francis has focused on developing more variety. “I used to play like defensively and now I am trying to mix in being aggressive with
consistency,” said Francis. “I am trying to go in, take balls early, and finish it up at net.” In the view of Francis, her dogged mentality is another key to her improvement. “I think my mental game is my strongest because I can really get into an opponent’s head with my mindset of making one more ball and being aggressive,” said Francis. “I can get them frustrated.” Hun first-year head coach Paul Ricciardi appreciates Francis’ mental approach. “She plays with an incredible amount of toughness and heart,” said Ricciardi. “She is the best competitor I have been around. She really gets the most out of her talent and tries to play every ball like it is match point.” Francis showed that competitive fire as she battled Kitio. “Her opponent had a lot of firepower, that was a great quality match,” said Ricciardi. “They didn’t get the first break until 3-3 of the second set that just goes to show you the level of tennis. They were holding serve playing good quality tennis.” J u n i o r S a b r i n a Wa n g showed some quality as well, taking fourth at second singles “She has been amazing too, she has no fear and goes for every serve,” said Ricciardi. “She has a toughness too, she is great at staying very calm.” At third singles, sophomore Anna Schweer dis played some great potential in finishing third in her flight. “She is going to do some big things for us over the next couple of years,” said Ricciardi of Schweer. “She needs just a little bit of experience to compete
with the top girls. She definitely has the strokes to be a No. 1 player in this league.” Ricciardi is enjoying his experience in his debut season coaching the girls’ program. “I have been really happy with taking this job, I am glad I did,” said Ricciardi, who guided the Hun boys’ program this past spring and previously coached at the College of Staten Island. “It is a good group of girls to work with.” Looking at the team’s performance overall at the MCT, Ricciardi saw a lot to be happy about. “It was a great tournament with 17 teams and a lot of good playing,” said Ricciardi. “I was ver y impressed with my second doubles too, Phoebe Melchior and Annabelle Fu. The first time they ever played together was the tournament. They ended up losing the match for third so they finished fourth. It was a great tournament for us.” Going forward, Ricciardi believes playing in the tournament will steel his team for the challenges it will face over the rest of the fall. “We could take this experience and build on with it with MAPL ( Mid-Atlantic Prep League) and Preps,” said Ricciardi, whose team has home matches against Pennington School on September 30 and Stuart Country Day on October 2 before playing at Princeton Day School on October 5. “The Prep League is very tough and the MAPL is very tough but I think we are in the mix. All we can do is just keep getting better.” Francis, for her part, is determined to keep getting better. “I w i l l def i n itely have things to work on so I will go to my coach and talk to him,” said Francis. “I am just excited to see where it goes.” —Bill Alden

Through the first four games of the 2021 season, the Hun School field hockey team had already shown progress from last year. After going 1-6 in 2020, Hun got off to a 2-2 start, highlighted by defeating Conwell Egan (Pa.) 4-0 on September 13 and then topping Mercersburg Academy (Pa.) 8-0 five days later. Last week, the Raiders took another step forward as they headed across town to battle local rival Stuart Country Day, earning a 1-1 tie in a thrilling, hard fought contest. The foes were knotted in a scoreless tie at halftime in the September 21 game and then Hun took the lead midway through the third period on a goal by senior Nicole Schafer, assisted by classmate Ashley Jones. Stuart responded with a tally by Isabel Milley minutes later and the game ended tied 1-1 at end of regulation. In a 10-minute overtime, both teams had scoring chances but the defenses held and the game ended in the stalemate. “We have been working on winning the quarters, it was great that we won that one quarter when we put it in,” said Hun head coach Tracey Arndt. “So now it is next steps. It was a great learning experience. We always say that you win or you learn. We learned from that. It was our first overtime game in a really long time, we had some nice runs.” The Tartans utilized some nice defensive play as they looked to stymie Stuart’s one-two punch of Lily Harlin and Kaitlyn Magnani with sophomore goalie Norah Kempson coming up big with nine saves. “Lily up front for them is such a dynamic player; I don’t think she ever ran out
of gas and Kaitlyn is so good for them in the back,” said Arndt. “We just knew that we had to try to shut them down as best we could. Norah did a tremendous job today in goal, she made some fantastic saves.” It was tremendous for Hun to see its pair of seniors Schaefer and Jones combine for its goal. “Nicole and Ashley both scored against Mercers burg, which was great,” said Arndt. “We believe in them so much, it is really fun to see the confidence come out of them. They are seeing the progress. We have believed and trusted in them. What I love is that they are starting to believe that they can do the things that we are asking of them.” Arndt is seeing that confidence develop collectively across the board. “With every day and every practice, we have this mantra that we are getting better every day,” said Arndt, whose team lost 2-1 to Montgomery last Saturday to move to 2-4-1. “ We have now s cored more goals this year than we had in the last two years combined.” With Hun playing at Academy of the New Church (Pa.) on September 29 before hosting Pennington School on October 2, Arndt believes her squad will keep getting better and better. “We are just learning with every day, we really have nothing to lose,” said Arndt. “We are not ranked anywhere, we are just having f un. Today was a great game. I am really proud of this team, we are going to move forward and focus on our next game.” —Bill Alden

Kaitlyn Magnani wasn’t fazed when the Stuart Country Day School field hockey team fell behind Hun 1-0 in the third period last week in the clash of local rivals. “In our game against PDS (a 4-1 win on September 15), we were down 1-0 in the beginning and right away we scored back,” said Stuart senior midfielder Magnani. “I had confidence in my team that we could come back.” Minutes after the Hun tally, Magnani helped get Stuart come back in the September 21 contest, feeding Isabel Milley for the tying goal. “Isabel is our great wing, she is always in great space,” said Magnani. “I just sent it right to her and she had a great backhand.” That ended up being the last goal of the contest as the teams played to a 1-1 tie through regulation and 10 minutes of overtime. “They had a really great goalie [ Norah Kempson ] who was coming out pretty far and that really gave us a challenge,” said Magnani. “We had a lot of intensity and I think we had some great shots but again their defense was very good. We gave it our all.” Magnani enjoyed the challenge of going into an extra session. “It was really intense, we haven’t had an over time yet,” said Magnani. “It is something we had worked on so we were confident in ourselves and we almost scored a goal. They had a couple down there. It was a lot of intensity, giving it our all. We have really worked on that this season.” It has been a superb season so far for the Tartans, who moved to 7-0-2 with a 0-0 tie against South Hunterdon last Monday. “I am really excited that we have been working really well on our attack this year,” said Mangani. “ We have re a l ly b een working as a cohesive team and working on getting this passes off and give and goes.” As a four-year star ter, Magnani is savoring Stuart’s improvement. “I have been here four years and I have seen the good and the bad,” said Magnani. “I t hink we have pro gressed. Most of our players are returning. We are really cohesive this year, we are all really together. We all have a good sense of the game. We have known each other for a while so I think that really helps us jell better.” Stuart head coach Missy Bruvik credited Magnani with making everyone around her better. “She got the assist, she is all over the field,” said Bruvik of Magnani. “You can see her out there directing and coaching. She has got a great head for the game. Her stickwork today was very good against a very strong, very competitive team.” While Bruvik and her players were disappointed not to pull out the win against Hun, she viewed the contest as a good learning experience. “We needed a game where
we had to come from behind,” said Bruvik. “We have practiced overtime; down the road I hope this pays off.” The Raiders made it tough for Stuart to come up with goals. “I thought their defense played very well in the circle, they cleared the ball out of the circle quickly,” said Bruvik. “Their goalie really had an outstanding game because we took shots; it wasn’t one or two shots, it was around 10. We were able to get some shots off.” Stuart displayed some outstanding character in rallying from the deficit. “It was more about the resilience, being down and coming back,” said Bruvik.
“The ball movement is better. I think each one of the kids that played today has gotten better. They are learning to work together better.” Br uv ik got some good work from Milley and defenders Elise Price and Keya Patel. “Isabel scored the goal, she is utilizing her speed with and her field sense from other sport and learning where the ball needs to go,” said Bruvik. “Elise and Keya stopped a lot of balls. In the overtime, the run that Keya made to stop one of their players on a breakaway was one of the things I was most proud of.” Stuart’s constant intensity this fall is a major source of pride for Bruvik. “It is 60 minutes every time we play; so far in every game we have played our third and
fourth quarters have been our best quarters which is really good,” said Bruvik, whose team plays at Blair Academy on September 29 before hosting the Solebury School (Pa.) on October 4. “It is not that we are playing poorly in the first or second. We are playing fine, but I think we gradually get better. We focus more, our mindset is better. I like the way we are moving the ball and there is ton of trust on this team.” Magnani, for her part, believes that the battle against Hun will help sharpen the focus for the Tartans going forward. “I do believe that when you play a tough team, you really learn from our mistakes and how to get better,” said Magnani. “I think this is a really great game for us.” —Bill Alden

Donna Meiyun Liu D o n n a’s a s h e s w e r e strewn into a deep-woods spring that ultimately feeds into Princeton’s rivers and streams, on September 7th. She had asked that they be spread as soon as possible into clear running water. “Don’t leave me in a box on the shelf,” she said. On our hikes we sometimes mentioned that this or that place would be good for our cremated remains to be returned to the earth. The spot we wound up using was a favorite, serene and beautiful, deeply grounded and verdant, like Donna. We wanted to keep Donna’s death out of social media but asked a group of CNN colleagues and family members to spread the news through email. Eventually it crossed into the CNN Alumni Facebook page. Many won’t be able to access the site, but the string of memories and the depth and warmth of the feelings are profound. A word that kept on coming up was “mentor” and the depth of gratitude from so many people from production assistants to correspondents, anchors, editors, camera crews, TV engineers, and executives was amazing. We never realized she had helped so many people, most of them younger than her, learn to make their way in the driven, demanding world of television news. She did it not through the assertiveness that’s part of the industry, but through her quiet, elegant competence. Donna left CNN after 18 years and pursued careers with different paths, relying on her TV production experience. Just prior to the start of the second Iraq war, she taught a seminar as a Ferris Fellow at Princeton’s Humanities Council about the role of media coverage of conflict, in which she had plenty of field and desk experience. She was on the ground for the first Iraq war, and Tiananmen and its aftermath, earthquakes in Haiti and Kobe, so much more. She moved
on to the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs to launch and curate the UChannel, a video lecture series on international affairs. She later worked at TelVue, a startup video server company which supplied the digital technology for local cable stations’ public access channels to operate more efficiently. She always felt a responsibility to democratize access to media. For several years she chaired the board of Princeton Community Television, our local public access cable station. And in the middle of all this, Donna got our family to Prague for a month to get certified as ESL teachers. The plan had been to travel widely and teach but, in the end, we wound up teamteaching evening classes of recently immigrated parents of students at a local elementary school in Twin Rivers, organized by Literacy New Jersey. Donna had a wonderful talent in front of a class. The quiet and demure woman turned out to be an engaging performer for adult students crouched around elementary school desks for three hours in the evening.

Ultimately, she turned her attention to environmental issues. For two years Donna media-managed CivicStory, a nonprofit news site posting solutions-based news about sustainability and civics. She ran the website and produced more than a score of video and print stories of her own, combining her media savvy with her community and environmental concerns. All our hiking in the fields and mountains around Princeton made us aware of the need to use our water resources more wisely. We took a course at Rutgers on environmental stewardship. As part of the certification process, Donna produced a video on Princeton’s water story and emerged as a credible source of public knowledge about what sustains Princeton. That’s where the desire to have her ashes go into a stream with running water comes from. She pushed on with her environmental activities well into the second and third rounds of her cancer treatment. As the disease dug into her central nervous system she would complain of her faltering capabilities. It was overwhelmingly sad as we watched this wonderfully intelligent woman lose her capacity to focus on what she had been able to spend so much of her creative life doing so well, writing and reporting. As she wanted, Donna died at home, surrounded by her family, cousin Sandy from New Hampshire and Lynn, our housemate who lived with us in Atlanta and Hong Kong — Auntie Sandy and Auntie Lynnie to our daughters Karla and Louise. Donna was stoic, and complained only when her medication couldn’t control the pain that would overwhelm her. She was increasingly sedated as we, with the guidance of hospice nurses, worked to make her as comfortable as we could. She died in t he early morning of September 2nd fittingly, maybe, amid the flooding driven by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. The streams and rivers around us were at historically high levels and a tornado tore along Lake Carnegie. As her illness grew worse, so many messages went unanswered, so many kind words and cards and flowers and gifts have gone unacknowledged. We hope this reaches all those who loved Donna as much as we did.

Peter C. Bunnell 1937-2021
Peter C. Bunnell, whose passionate and inspired teaching profoundly changed the field of photographic history, passed away at his home in Princeton, New Jersey, on Monday, September 20, 2021. As the inaugural David Hunter McAlpin Professor of the History of Photography and Modern Art at Princeton University, a position he accepted in 1972 and held for 30 years before his retirement, Bunnell educated a generation of undergraduate and graduate students in what is still a young branch of art

history; his was the first endowed professorship in the history of photography at any American university. An enthralling storyteller with a deep personal knowledge of the medium’s history, an infectious enthusiasm, and an unfailing devotion to his students, Bunnell drew capacity crowds to his undergraduate courses and attracted graduate students from across the country and beyond. A testament to the widespread and lasting influence of his teaching, Bunnell’s Princeton protégés have served as curators and professors at leading institutions including the Metropolitan Museum; the Museum of Modern Art; The Morgan Library; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; George Eastman Museum; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the International Center of Photography; the Victoria and Albert Museum; the Fotostiftung Schweiz; Aperture; Brown University; Indiana University; City College of New York; Bard College; Bowling Green State University; and Zurich University of the Arts, among others. As curator of photography at the Princeton University Art Museum throughout his 30-year tenure on the faculty, and as Museum Director from 1973 to 1978 and Acting Director again from 1998 to 2000, Bunnell built a broad-ranging collection of photography, the firsthand examination of which became an unforgettable central element of the student experience in his classes and seminars. “These photographs are used,” he said, “they don’t just sit around in boxes.” In fact, he taught all of the discussion sections of his courses himself, always with original photographs rat her t han w it h slides. Photographer and former Princeton professor Emmet Gowin recalls Bunnell’s extraordinary gift for “awakening and reaching the hearts and minds of students of all kinds, but especially his ability to connect with and support students attempting to practice the art of photography themselves.” At the time of Bunnell’s retirement in 2002, Gowin praised his capacity to understand the work of artists “who were in no way synchronous with his own stances or world views. To a degree almost unthinkable, the collection he built at Princeton is without gender bias or cultural bias, but embracing of all that was fresh and difficult in the work of young contemporary artists.” Allen Rosenbaum, who Bunnell hired as Assistant Director of the Museum in 1974 and who later became its Director, similarly recalls his generosity, noting that “there was no ego or vanity in his directorship.” Rosenbaum vividly recalls having been invited to a class led by Bunnell and Gowin and having come away with “a sense of the great gifts of these men as thinkers and communicators, and with the revelation — at least for me — that there was such a t hing as connoisseurship in photography.” In addition to the expansive and carefully selected collection that Bunnell built for the Museum, spanning the history of the medium, h e s e c u r e d t wo i m p or tant archives — those of Pictorialist photographer
Clarence H. White, the subject of his Master’s thesis at Ohio University, and Minor White, Bunnell’s own mentor as a photographer and interpreter of the medium. He met Minor White as an undergraduate at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where classes taught by White nurtured his burgeoning interest in photography. “I took his classes, and, as was his practice, he drew a group of students around him outside the Institute,” recalled Bunnell. “These were informal sessions where he explored in more depth his philosophy and attitudes toward photographing.” Bunnell went on to receive a Master of Fine Arts in photography from Ohio University in 1961 under the tutelage of Clarence H. White Jr., as well as an M.A. in art history from Yale University in 1965, where he began a doctoral dissertation on the life and work of Alfred Stieglitz. Immediately before joining the Princeton faculty in 1972, Peter Bunnell served as curator of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, where he had joined the staff in 1960 as a collection cataloguer and risen to associate curator in 1968 and curator in 1970. At MoMA, Bunnell’s achievements included groundbreaking exhibitions that offered innovative new avenues to analyze and understand photography: Photography as Printmaking (1968), and Photography into Sculpture (1970), as well as an exhibition of the work of Clarence H. White (1971). In addition to exhibitions at Princeton in subsequent years, including a continuous series of installations designed for students in his courses, Bunnell organized the Harry Callahan exhibition for the United States Pavilion at the 38th Venice Biennale in 1978. Beyond his role as teacher and curator, Bunnell served the field in various capacities — as national chair of the Society for Photographic Education and chair of the board of The Friends of Photography — and was the recipient of numerous honors and awards including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation (1979) and the Asian Cultural Council
(1984). He was also named an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Peter Bunnell wrote extensively on topics across the history of photography, t h ou g h pr i m ar i ly ab ou t American artists, and most often about living photographers, many of whom he knew personally. His numerous essays have been anthologized in Degrees of Guidance : Essays on Twentieth-Century American Photography (1993 ) and Inside the Photograph: Writings on Twentieth-Century Photography (2006). His book Minor White: The Eye That Shapes, which accompanied a retrospective exhibition of White’s photographs that opened at the Museum of Modern Art in 1989, won the George Wittenborn Memorial Award of the Art Libraries Society of North America. He also authored three monographs on Jerry N. Uelsmann, his undergraduate roommate at Rochester Institute of Technology and a lifelong friend. In addition, he edited several anthologies — A Photographic Vision: Pictorial Photography, 1889–1923 (1980); Edward Weston on Photography (1983); and Aperture Maga zine Anthology: The Minor White Years, 1952–1976 (2012); and co - edited t wo Ar no Press reprint series, The
Literature of Photography and The Sources of Modern Photography. L on g i nto re t ire m e nt, Bunnell happily remained an invaluable source for researchers in the history of photography who called upon his recollections of firsthand encounters with 20 t h - c e nt u r y p h oto g r a phers, recollections aided by file cabinets filled with decades of carefully taken notes, newspaper clippings, and ot her seldom - saved ephemera — an invaluable resource that will become available to future scholars at Princeton’s Art Museum and Firestone Library. Peter Curtis Bunnell was born in 1937 in Poughkeepsie, New York, t he son of Harold C. Bunnell and Ruth L. Buckhout. He is not survived by immediate family but is held dear in the memory of the many students, scholars, artists, and curators who benefited immensely from his wisdom and deep generosity of spirit. Following his wishes, no funeral service will be held, but friends, colleagues, and protégés will gather at a later date to celebrate his life.
