Princeton’s Cannabis Task Force (CTF) is preparing to recommend an ordinance for Princeton Council permitting three cannabis dispensaries in town. The CTF is seeking input at two public meetings in the next 10 days, on Thursday, September 9 at 7 p.m. on Zoom (link available on the municipal website at princetonnj.gov) and Saturday, September 18 at 10 a.m. in person, location to be determined, or on Zoom depending on weather and COVID-19. “The purpose of these meetings is to get people to weigh in on the proposed recommendations of the CTF to allow three retail establishments in town,” said Councilwoman and CTF Chair Eve Niedergang in a September 6 phone interview. “We’re reaching out to the public. We want people to be aware of this and the earlier we get input from the public the earlier we can take advantage of that input.” The 23-member CTF, appointed by the municipality of Princeton, chose to opt out on the state’s August 21 deadline for passing ordinances for the cannabis industry in town. Their goal is to prepare an ordinance to opt in at some point this fall. The CTF felt that the community needed more time to solicit community input and develop plans and requirements that fit Princeton’s values and needs. Niedergang explained that the CTF has been considering which of the town’s seven commercial zones might be the most appropriate locations for cannabis dispensaries. The discussion has been lively, she said, but the members seem to be in agreement on moving ahead with public meetings followed by an October recommendation to Council, if possible. The Princeton zones under consideration include the central business district, the northern portion of Witherspoon Street, Jugtown near the intersection of Nassau and Harrison streets, the Alexander Street/Road area, the Princeton Shopping Center, and two areas on Route 206: one south of the Municipal Building near Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad and another near Bottle King. The CTF plans to recommend that cannabis dispensaries follow the same rules that currently regulate liquor stores regarding location (not within a certain Continued on Page 13

Commemorating 9/11, 20 Years Later Saturday marks 20 years since some 3,000 lives were lost when two hijacked airplanes hit the World Trade Center in New York City, another struck the Pentagon, and one crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pa. Nine of the dead were from Princeton and 17 others were from Mercer County. Several area memorial observances are planned, including events in Princeton, at Rider University, and in Hopewell and Montgomery townships. In Princeton, the Princeton 9/11 Memorial Committee will dedicate a permanent memorial at noon on Saturday, September 11. A ceremony will be held outside the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad headquarters at 2 Mount Lucas Road (inside with COVID-19 protocol in case of rain). The outdoor memorial is comprised of a nine-foot steel beam from the World Trade Center, as well as plaques describing the events of the day, and mileage to the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Shanksville plane crash sites. “We felt that 100 years from now, this will tell the story and have impact,” said Committee Chair William Shields. During the ceremony, the names of the nine Princeton residents who died will be read, and first responders will be honored, said Shields, who explained that the names were culled from various

sources. The fire bell will ring once after each of the nine names; and will sound again for the New York Police Department, Port Authority, Fire Department of New York, and members of the U.S. Intelligence communities. The last bell would be for all who died or suffered as a result of the attacks in the weeks or months following September 11, Shields said. The event will feature speakers, prayer, music, and the police honor guard will post colors. “We think the town will be proud of this,”

said Shields. “We are not closing a chapter but opening it up so others can read it.” The steel beam used in the memorial arrived in Princeton on March 24, 2012, with a safety officers’ vehicle escort, through efforts by past Fire Department Chief Roy James. The beam, which weighs 745 pounds, was placed in storage waiting for an appropriate home, said Shields, until the piece was brought to Princeton Engine Co.

HOME GROWN: The annual native plant sale held by D&R Greenway is a popular event held in front of the nursery. Wear masks to this year’s sale. as needed. pawpaw, serviceberry, and D&R Greenway to Hold beach plum; as well as buttonThe nursery has over 50 vaAutumn Native Plant Sale

D&R Greenway Land Trust will hold the autumnal native plant sale, open to the public on Thursday, September 16, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.; Friday, September 17, from 5 to 6:30 p.m.; and Saturday, September 18, from 9 to 11 a.m. Fall is an ideal time for planting shrubs and new trees, as they establish strong root systems before winter, well ahead of the stress of summer heat. Significantly, local plants require less maintenance in terms of fertilizer, water, and pesticides. The land trust’s Native Plant Nursery specimens are grown from locally sourced starter plants free of nicotinoid insecticides which harm pollinators. Local plants are conditioned to survive regional stresses. Planting natives that evolved locally turns home gardens into habitat. The sale is held in front of the nursery on the property. Visitors selecting their plants must wear masks and maintain social distancing. As in earlier COVIDaffected events, the D&R Greenway staff monitors “entrance”

rieties of plants of the region. They are selected for health, for beauty, and to provide shelter and food for regional birds, insects, and butterflies. Their trees, shrubs, perennial wildflowers, grasses, sedges, and ferns are grown either on-site or purchased from reputable nearby native plant growers. Their flora not only support New Jersey’s unique environment, but also D&R Greenway’s preservation and stewardship mission. Tina Notas, director of land stewardship for D&R Greenway, said, “We are delighted to open our native plant nursery to the public, so that local gardeners may safely choose our vibrant native flora. Our broad array of plants summons specific creatures dependent upon our unique local ecosystem, in both breeding and migratory seasons.” An up-to-date inventory is at D&R Greenway’s Native Plant Nursery’s website at drgreenway.org/shop/native-plants. Available trees and shrubs include oaks and ironwood; local fruiting trees including

bush, red buckeye, spicebush (earliest spring flowerlets and home of spicebush swallowtail butterfly), witch hazel (which blooms in winter), dogwood, and bayberry. Among their native flowers are blue flag iris, mountain mint, goldenrod (this important pollinator plant does not generate allergies; it bears heavy pollen which falls to the ground instead of traveling by air), subtle foxglove beardtongue, towering Joe Pye weed, and blue lobelia. The Johnson Education Center’s ca. 1900 barn is not open to the public at this time, though the land trust’s popular preserves and trails remain open for public enjoyment. The land trust has been careful to put practices in place that safeguard purchasers and staff, yet enabling gardeners to enjoy the spring planting tradition. The Native Plant Nursery is on the grounds of D&R Greenway at the Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, off Rosedale Road.

FARMLAND PRESERVED: As Hunterdon Land Trust celebrates 25 years of preserving farmland and open space, it offers events such as a tour of the barns at Dvoor Farm, its headquarters in Flemington, on September 12 at 10:30 a.m. The farm tells the story of the region’s farm culture and architecture from the mid-18th to mid-20th centuries through its buildings and barns, like this horse barn built in the 1930s.

Hunterdon Land Trust Marks 25 Years Preserving Local Land Hu nterdon L and Tr ust ( H LT ) is celebrat ing 25 years of protecting open space, but Patricia Ruby is looking forward as well. “We are constantly working on new land preserva-

tion projects,” said Ruby, who has served as HLT executive director since 2012. “But one of the big stories is that this year we closed more projects than ever before.” The goal, she said, was to have 10,000 acres preserved by 2020, “and we have blown through that milestone, and now we are at 10,350 acres,” she said. “We closed recently on 70 acres, and this year there have been nine closings compared to the t ypical two to five.” (Two additional closings were expected shortly.)

benefit pollinator meadows and wetlands, streams, and stormwater management. HLT has raised more than $2 million toward the Dvoor Farm project, which Ruby called “vital to linking the past, present, and future for all we ser ve,” to ensure that the farm remains a “place for families and friends to gather to remember the past and forge new memories; and allow more people to enjoy an array of educational and recreational opportunities that honors Hunterdon County’s agricultural, cultural, and natural heritage; all while boosting the local economy.”

We ARE the paper that Princeton reads!

To celebrate both past and current achievements, a virtual Celebration and Fundraiser on September 19 at 5 p.m. will mark HLT’s 25year anniversary, and also look ahead. In addition to workshops, the organization will honor Board Secretary Larry LaFevre, along with Ralph Celebre and Susan Haase, owners of Basil Bandwagon Natural Market. The nationally accredited nonprofit HLT will host several events this fall, including a free tour of the historic barns at Dvoor Farm in Flemington, which serves as its headquarters, on Sunday, September 12 at 10:30 a.m. On the tour, Christopher Pickell of Pickell Architecture in Flemington will discuss the history of the property’s barns and wagon house, which date from around 1800 to the 1930s. For the first time, participants can see how the buildings were constructed and what makes them unique. Space is limited, and registration is required. To sign up, email Director of Outreach Dave Harding at dave@hunterdonlandtrust.org. HLT’s plans for Dvoor Farm call for a “sensitive rehabilitation” of the barns, so they can be used for children’s camps, corporate retreats, life celebrations, and educational programming.

Farm Market Open Daily 9-6 Winery Open Fri-Sun,12-5 pm

HLT operates a “producers’ only” Farmers Market at Dvoor Farm on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market, which started in 2007, has about 25 local farmers and vendors. The protected open space in Hunterdon County is tied to the history of the land trust. Twenty-five years ago, Hunterdon County, home to family farms, open fields, and woodlands, was vulnerable to increasing sprawl. A few local residents, who wanted to prevent the sprawl and what comes with it, formed a volunteer group in 1996 originally known as the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance, which evolved into the land trust. Delaware Township resident Roger Harris spearheaded the group and connected with other environmental groups, and residents from Kingwood, Readington and East Amwell. Bylaws were drafted and Harris became the land trust’s first president. Currently HLT has 21 preservation projects in the works in several townships including Readington, Kingwood, Bethlehem, Franklin, Raritan, Lambertville, and Holland. It recently helped facilitate the preservation of 28.7 acres of open space at the Fitzgerald tract and 106 acres of farmland and open space at the Saums property, both in Readington; the 135-acre Silva Farm in Holland Township; and 104 acres of open space at the Maritan property in Kingwood. Fulfilling its mission to preserve rural landscapes in the Hunterdon County region, HLT also has included the preservation of the Dondero farm in West Amwell. The farm, dating back to the 1750s, was successfully preserved, working with D&R Greenway Land Trust and the New Jersey Green Acres Program, according to HLT. HLT partners with municipal, county, and state governments and other nonprofit organizations, working with landowners who wish to permanently protect the ecological, agricultural, scenic, historic, or recreational qualities of their land, according to the organization. It also works to help landowners identify the best options to meet their conservation goals and financial needs, assisting them through the preservation process. Protecting space is especially timely. New Jersey is supposed to be completely built out by 2050, said Ruby, “so we feel a clock ticking, and will continue to work as best we can. We have a strategic plan to help identify the priority projects.” The future holds some challenges such as limited dollars for stewardship, balancing spending on protecting land use, and on land acquisition. “How do you devote your resources? It’s a challenge,” she said. This fall, however, said Ruby, “we are pausing to reflect and celebrate our past achievements and thank the many supporters who worked during this past quarter-century to protect what’s truly special about Hunterdon County. But by no means are we resting on our laurels. Though we have accomplished a great deal, there’s so much more work that remains to be done.” For more information on Hunterdon Land Trust and the anniversary events, visit hunterdonlandtrust.org. —Wendy Greenberg

Question of the Week:

“How were you affected by the ﬂooding from the remnants of Hurricane Ida?” (Photos by Weronika A. Plohn)

“We escaped by the skin of our teeth, because I needed to pick up my son as the rain was picking up. But I was able to get him and return home safely. We managed to make it through the storm without any ﬂooding or damage to our home and my family is safe, so we feel very fortunate.” —Rajiv Hande, Edison

“My basement ﬂooded pretty early on during the storm. There was about six to seven inches of water on the basement ﬂoor that we had push out into the sump pump. Here at the Princeton Canoe Rental it was really bad. We lost a couple of boats into the water because the chains broke. The docks were completely underwater, and the surge had pushed rocks and debris over the area, which took a lot of work to remove. But we are open and back in business already, which is a great thing.” —Gabe Silverstein, Princeton

Maria: “We had some water in the basement, and my workplace was affected. I work on the campus of Rutgers University, and we were told to work remotely on Thursday and Friday due to the impact of the ﬂooding there. Other than that, we know people who needed to be evacuated. ” —Maria Heidkamp with Isabella Kopits, both of Princeton

Kathryn: “We had been traveling and came home Thursday to ﬁnd eight inches of water in the basement, so we have been working very hard to pump it out and clean up the downstairs. There’s been a lot of lugging items and furniture up the steps and out to the yard to dry out. Fortunately it is warm weather, because our water heater and furnace drowned and will need to be replaced. But no one was hurt, so that is what matters most to us.” Peter: “Our marriage survived, too.” —Kathryn Weidener with Peter Szego, both of Princeton

Sukkah Village Princeton Uses Design To Highlight Social Crises of Today

Some three years ago Princeton architect Joshua Zinder viewed the fi lm Sukkah City, the story of a New York City competition based on the creative design of a sukkah, a hut-like shelter made for the Jewish fall festival of Sukkot. The event was a means to draw attention to such issues as housing insecurity, homelessness, and hunger. When Zinder brought the movie to The Jewish Center Princeton, it ignited the enthusiasm to hold a similar event in town. But fall 2019 was a busy time for the synagogue, celebrating its 75th anniversary, and by March 2020, COVID-19 canceled the plans. “I’m not one who gives up so easily,” said Zinder, who is president of the AIA of New Jersey and managing partner of the Princeton integrated architecture and design firm JZA+D. “So this year we reinvigorated it.” Sukkah Village Princeton 2021 is finally happening. The interfaith community program involves some 20 Princeton area religious and cultural groups bringing attention to affordable housing, hunger, homelessness, sustainability, and refugees, via architecture. Princeton’s Sukkah Village opens September 19 at noon and closes September 29 at 9 a.m. “Even though Sukkot is a Jewish holiday,” said Zinder, “everyone can celebrate it. It brings awareness to critical issues in New Jersey.” Su k kot is a week long

Jewish holiday that celebrates the gathering of the harvest and commemorates the sheltering of the Israelites wandering for 40 years in the desert following the exodus from Egypt. The observance is marked by spending time in a sukkah, a recreation of the hut-like structures that housed the ancient Jews. As a temporary dwelling, Zinder explained, the sukkah symbolizes the fragility of human existence. The public is welcome to tour 11 sukkahs on public sites around downtown Princeton. The structures are designed by prominent architecture and design firms and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) student winners of an architecture school competition. Event sponsors are the Jewish Federation of Princeton Mercer Bucks, the Arts Council of Princeton, AIA NJ, Princeton Hillel, and The Jewish Center Princeton. With the main Sukkah Village at The Jewish Center, 435 Nassau Street, other display sites will be at YWCA Princeton, 59 Paul Robeson Place; Palmer Square at Hulfish Street; the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon Street; Nassau Presbyterian Church, 61 Nassau Street; and Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street. Each sukkah has a not-forprofit partner, so visitors to the sukkah will be learning about that nonprofit. The sukkahs will be auctioned off to raise money for an assigned charity, which will

be displayed at the site. The auction will open September 19 on the Sukkah Village website at sukkahvillage. com. Profi ts will be evenly divided among all the nonprofit partners. Some are demountable for use next year, Zinder noted. “In my offi ce we asked how do you create one that you can store on a couple of shelves?” Participating architecture and design firms, in addition to two teams from NJIT, include Joshua Zinder Architecture and Design; KSS; Mills and Schnoering Architects, LLC; Michael Graves Architecture and Design; Michael Landau; Studio Hillier; HDR Inc.; and Seth A. Leeb, Architect. To design and build their sukkah each team had to follow a rigorous set of guidelines, some set forth in the Bible, and some reflecting modern requirements for public safety. Special programming throughout the 10-day event will include panel discussions, family-friendly arts and crafts, discussions, and walking tours. September 19 is the kick-off evening, at the Arts Council of Princeton, with designers and event partners and sponsors. It will also feature a screening of the short documentary Sukkah City, plus an interactive discussion. Registration is through the website. Additional events include an informal walking tour on September 20; a talk on affordable housing on September 22; a talk on

sustainability and climate change on September 23; a lunch and learn on food insecurity scheduled for September 24; and a “sukkah hop” and family activities on September 26. More details are listed on the Sukkah Village Facebook page, Sukkah Village Princeton 2021, or at sukkahvllage.com. Community partners in Sukkah Village include Jewish Federation of Princeton, Mercer Bucks; HomeFront NJ; Arts Council of Princeton; Trenton Area Soup K itchen ; United Way of Greater Mercer County; Rescue Mission of Trenton; Send Hunger Packing; Princeton Community Housing; Arm In Arm; YWCA; Sustainable Princeton; The Jewish Center Princeton; Board of Rabbis, Princeton Mercer Bucks; Trinity Church; Nassau Presbyterian Church; Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton; Jewish Family & Children’s Services; Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton; Jewish Community Foundation; Princeton Senior Resource Center; Princeton Housing Author it y ; WitherspoonJackson Historical and Cultural Society; and TJC Interfaith Refugee Resettlement Committee. The organizers hope Sukkah Village will show the power of design to address humanitarian issues that resonate thematically with the festival. One message, said Zinder, is that “design matters. You can create something that looks beautiful, that can also offer a message.” The main message, said Zinder, is that the holiday of Sukkot speaks “to the

fragility of shelter. We are able to have roofs over our heads, but we need to think about those who don’t. We were all once refugees wandering in the desert. There are so many in crisis, we can bring attention to them. “Sukkah Village 2021 is a celebration of the power of design — and the power of each of us — to contribute to solutions to the challenges that face us.” —Wendy Greenberg

Grand Finale (?) Rummage Sale at Trinity Church Is September 23-25 It started in 1971 with just one table for each sales category — used clothing, toys, jewelry, white elephants. A few “better things” (now known as “The Boutique”) were sold on the tiny stage, all in the old Pierce Hall at Trinity Church on Mercer Street. The idea originated in the “jumble sales” in Victorian England, where the Anglican church raised money for itself and for causes worldwide. Fifty years later the Trinity Church Rummage Sale, with hundreds of thousands of dollars of sales over the years to support the church’s outreach efforts, is preparing for its possible grand finale on September 23, 24, and 25. Thousands of items — clothing, art, antiques, housewares, linens, books, and much more — will fill five or six large rooms at the church. Dozens of volunteers will be working long hours, with many hundreds of shoppers anticipated. Thursday, September 23 is sale preview day from 1 to 5 p.m., with a $10 entry fee and a long waiting line expected before the 1 p.m. opening. On Friday, September 24, the sale runs from noon to 5 p.m., and on Saturday, September 25, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (no entry fee on regular sale days). In preparation for that first sale in 1971, a few volunteers sorted and priced items in front of the Pierce Hall stage, and the items were stored on the stage and in two small rooms. The treasurer’s report from 1971

lists a total of $2,585.77 in sales of accessor ies, children’s clothes, fun and games, household jewelry, bric-a-brac, and men’s and women’s clothes. “The volume of the sale grew almost exponentially,” according to a 1987 Trinity Church report titled “Come, Celebrate Rummage at Trinity: A Serious Enterprise.” The previous year the Boutique and Better Dresses sections had produced “an astounding $18,000 in six hours of non-stop action,” with the one-day event earning $25,000. A 1985 lead volunteer reported, “The donations have been wonderful. You really can’t imagine the variety of items we receive and the pleasure, joy, and sometimes amazement they give to others. We had a beautiful wedding gown in 1983 and it fit the girl who bought it down to the last stitch. The next year she came back with her wedding picture and her new husband to meet us!” S h e c o n t i n u e d , “A n d we can’t forget the locked steamer trunk! We hoped it contained a vast treasure, but what it did contain was 57 towels (from a New York hotel), 10 pounds of sugar (from 1942), and a couple of cans of sardines that had burst over everything! We w as h e d t h e towels, scrubbed the trunk, and sold both.” Since then sales in many years have surpassed $40,000 with all the procee ds going not to t he

church itself but to t he church’s outreach efforts serving Central New Jersey and beyond. Organizations receiving support through the Trinity Rummage Sale include Chorus Foundation, Housing Initiatives of Princeton, Episcopal Relief and Development, Gaia Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance, Urban Promise, Foundation Cristosal, Rescue Mission of Trenton, Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. A 1985 statement from the Trinity Church Vestry described the purpose of the Rummage Sale “to support Trinity’s outreach to Princeton, Trenton, and the world at large.” The vestry statement went on to emphasize the “circular exercise in Christian stewardship,” with significant benefits to donors and beneficiaries alike. “Good humor, good will, firmness, and above all fairness are essential in the inevitable excitement and scramble for bargains,” the statement concluded. Rummage Sale Department Chair for Ar t and Antiquities Connie Escher, who, w it h her daughter alongside in a playpen, began volunteering with the Rummage Sale in 1974, described how the Trinity Rummage Sale has become “a venerable Princetitution” over the years. “It draws a huge throng,” she said. “From one table to a church full of ‘shops’ with departments specializing in

“A PRINCETITUTION”: The Trinity Church Rummage Sale, in operation since 1971, is scheduled for September 23, 24, and 25 at the Trinity Church on Mercer Street. Trinity Librarian Rob Fraser and Department Chair for Art and Antiquities Connie Escher display some of the thousands of items to be sold to support the church’s outreach efforts in what might be the end of a tradition after 50 years. different categories, selling necessities, as well as the unusual and collectibles. Vo l u n t e e r p a r i s h i o n e r s have signed on for years in the same spot, for decades in the same department, growing in knowledge of the merchandise in their departments. Children of workers have signed on. ‘Raised on rummage’ is a favorite saying.” She noted that this year’s sale might be the biggest ever, with the pent-up demand for sale items and huge quantities of merchandise stored up, after sales canceled because of COVID-19 in 2020 and spring 2021. “The team of devoted volunteers, mostly seniors, who put in thousands of hours have always been supported by those volunteers who could lend a hand in the

final days before the sale, and as willing salespeople during the sale itself,” said Escher. Over the years, sorting, polishing, cleaning, and pricing—“the most challenging work”—have been done year-round in the undercroft of the 188-year-old church. Hamilton Jewelers, David Rago of Rago Auctions, and others have helped to evaluate and sell valuable items in the past. Escher recalls the most expensive articles ever sold by the Trinity Rummage Sale, two art works for nearly $50,000 auctioned by Rago Auctions several years ago. A f ter t his year’s sale, Trinity Church will decide whether to continue with a rummage sale in the coming years. If it continues it would probably be in a diminished

fashion that would require less storage space and a smaller-scale organization. “The excitement of the sale for t he hunter and gatherer in all of us, both workers and shoppers, will be missed if this is the grand finale rummage sale,” said Escher. “But the special planning and disr upting of on-going church activities and spaces, will not be missed.” She went on, “I believe our shoppers love to come to Princeton and meet the Trinity parishioners in a unique setting. Many of them return as old friends to their favorite departments. The repetition of a warm welcome to all shoppers is another form of stewardship and outreach for Trinity, beyond the cash proceeds of the sale.” —Donald Gilpin

Commemorating 9/11 continued from page one

Street in 2015, blanketed by an American Flag, under a single light around the clock until 2021. A few months ago it was mounted, funded by donations. I n 2 019, P r i n c e t o n First Aid & Rescue Squad President Mark Freda, now mayor of Princeton, sought a permanent memorial on the grounds of the Squad’s new headquarters. Many of the contractors working on the Squad’s facilities, along with other local contractors, donated services or funds to ma ke t he P r inceton September 11 Memorial a reality. ( Donations are still being accepted at c/o PACF, 15 Princess Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648). “To me,” s aid Freda, “this is a very important event in our community. It marks 20 years since the day that changed life here in the United States forever. And now that we have an actual memorial in place in Princeton, we should remember the sacrifice of so many that day by taking some time on September 11 to acknowledge those that died then; and all those that have died since due to what happened that day.” “It is hard to believe that so much time has gone by,” he continued, “and that so many in this country today were not born yet. But for those of us in New York City or Washington, D.C. or Shanksville that day, and those of us that watched this all unfold, it is a memory we will hold forever.” Freda added a special thanks to all involved in the memorial event, noting that “this is an effort over many years involving many people.” T he commit tee asks attendees to park in the Community Park lot, located across the Princeton Fire Department on Witherspoon Street. Accessible parking will be available across from the Memorial site, at the lower parking lot of the Municipal Building, accessed from Valley Road.

This is especially important for members of younger generations, who have no direct memor ies of the attacks but have grown up in a world shaped by them,” T he Pr inceton S enior Resource Center offers a 9/11 Memorial and Tribute on Thursday, September 9, at 11 a.m. with registration required. The event includes a virtual tour of the 9/11 Me m or ia l a n d Mu s e u m in New York City, and a discussion about 9/11 hosted by Donald Benjamin, PSRC board member.

The Historical Society of Princeton (HSP) will host the “Night Under the Stars” fundraiser event on Saturday, September 25, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at Updike Farmstead. The event is an evolution of the Historical Society’s annual “Concert Under the Stars,” featuring its “boots and blue jeans” flair. The evening will begin with craft cocktails mixed with Sourland Mountain Spirits. Bill Flemer’s Stony Brook Bluegrass Band will entertain from the farmhouse porch as guests explore the farmstead grounds and enjoy a variety of casual lawn games. Afterwards, guests will settle under strings of vintage lights to dine on a family-style, multi-course, seasonal meal prepared by Harvest Catering and Events. Local craft beers and a selection of wines will be available throughout the evening. After dessert, local musician (and HSP board president) Paul Pessutti will entertain guests with an array of acoustic favorites for dancing and singing along. All festivities will be outdoors amidst the beauty of Updike Farmstead, a unique historic setting surrounded by nearly 200 acres of farmland. “We’re so excited to offer this reimagined version of our always-fabulous annual event,” said Izzy Kasdin, the Historical Society’s executive director. “T he ‘Night Under the Stars’ will offer guests a relaxed and elevated experience, amidst a true celebration of local food, drink, and talent. This event is absolutely unique to Updike Farmstead, HSP, and the gem of New Jersey’s preserved agricultural landscapes – you don’t want to miss it!” Baxter Constr uction, Charles Schwab, Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, Bryn Mawr Trust, PNC Private Bank, MacLean Agency, and McCaffrey’s Markets are all major event sponsors. The Historical Society is monitoring conditions created by COVID-19 and will be taking all necessary precautions to ensure a safe and fun outdoor event for all. Net proceeds from the “Night Under the Stars” support the Society’s mission of history education, provided via stewardship of historical collections, exhibitions, public programs, and co-curricular support for schools in the Princeton community and beyond. In so doing, HSP brings the past to life and explores its enduring relevance. Tickets to this special benefit event are available online at princetonhistory.org, or by phone at (609) 9216748 x106. Guests must be 21 or over. The event will be held, rain or shine.

Applications are Open For Bronfman Fellowship

Applications are now open for the 36 th cohort of the Bronfman Fellowship, which selects 26 outstanding North American teenagers for an intellectually challenging year of programming. It begins with a free summer in Israel between the fellows’ junior and senior years of high school, followed by monthly virtual experiences

and two seminars in the U.S. The program educates and inspires exceptional young Jews from diverse backgrounds to have a significant impact on the world as community builders, deep thinkers, moral voices, and cultural creators. The nonprofit fellowship was founded by Edgar M. Bronfman, formerly CEO of the Seagram Company Ltd. For 36 years, Bronfman fellows had the opportunity to see the world through a lens broader than their own. Taught by a faculty of rabbis and educators, Fellows explore a wide range of Jewish texts, from classic religious work s to c onte m p or a r y poetry and philosophy, using these sources to spark conversations, engage with existential questions, and achieve a deeper understanding of themselves and one another. Fellows also have the opportunity to engage with intellectuals, artists, and religious and cultural leaders. Past speakers have included journalist Matti Friedman, author Nicole Krauss, musician and Yiddish scholar Anthony Russell, and Torah scholar Dr. Avivah Zornberg. Fellows also interact with a group of Israeli peers who were chosen through a parallel selection process by the Israeli branch of the fellowship, Amitei Bronfman. Additionally, they have the opportunity to participate in the fellowship’s arts tracks: workshops in areas including poetry, dance, drama, visual narrative, and music, taught by innovators in the field of Jewish art. Upon returning home from the summer in Israel, Fellows also explore major themes in North American Jewish life. “My father, Edgar M. Bronfman, placed enormous faith in young people’s ability to see the world not just as it is, but as it ought to be,” said Adam R. Bronfman, president of The Samuel Bronfman Foundation. “He believed that young people energized by their Judaism were best equipped to both shape a Jewish ‘Renaissance’ and improve the world.” There are now over 1,300 Bronfman Fellowship alumni across North America and Israel. Among them are seven Rhodes Scholars, four former Supreme Court clerks, 19 Fulbright Scholars, 37 Wexner Fellows, and 27 Dorot Fellows. Leaders of note among fellowship alumni include Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket, author of the best-selling Series of Unfortunate Events children’s books; Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything Is Illuminated; and Rabbi Angela Warnick Buchdahl, the first woman to be named senior rabbi at New York’s Central Synagogue and the first Asian American person to be ordained as a rabbi and cantor. Applications for the 2022 fellowship are due December 8, 2021, and are available online at bronfman.org. High school students in the United States and Canada who self-identify as Jewish and who will be in 11th grade in the fall of 2021 are eligible to apply. The fellowship is a pluralistic program for Jews of all backgrounds; prior Jewish education is not required.

Up to this point the CTF has been concentrating on the particulars of its initial ordinance and has just started to hold discussions on the question of how Princeton can best seek to make amends for some of the harm caused by the war on drugs. A CTF meeting during the day on Thursday, September 9, before the Thursday evening public meeting, will feature presentations by the Rev. Charles Boyer, a leader in social justice issues and in the campaign to abolish the drug war and the criminalization of Black people, and Princeton University Professor Udi Ofer, an ACLU civil rights lawyer and CTF member. “We hope these discussions will continue in public meetings and beyond,” said Niedergang. In addition to pushing ahead to resolve the details of a retail cannabis ordinance recommendation and related social justice issues, the CTF will also be considering, with public input, whether to broaden the scope of cannabis recommendations into the area of manufacturing, testing, cultivation, and other industry possibilities. Niedergang noted that the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) last month issued its 160 pages of regulations for the state’s cannabis industry. She was pleased to see both the social equity emphasis and the amount of discretion granted to the individual municipalities to decide what businesses can open in their towns. In order to apply for the required state license to open a dispensary, a business must first have zoning approval and a resolution from the governing authority in the local municipality. “That is very encouraging As part of one of the nation’s largest property and casualty insurance brokers, from my perspective, “said Niedergang. “The CRC is givCBIZ Borden Perlman combines national resources with local, personalized service. ing towns a lot of discretion about what businesses can Licensed in 50 states, we work tirelessly to insure what’s important to you. open there.” “We all have concerns,” said Niedergang, as much of the CBIZ BORDEN PERLMAN SERVICES: discussion in CTF meetings so far has centered around the Personal Insurance | Commercial Insurance | Specialty Insurance particulars of opening dispensaries in town, with debates about different neighborhood

Humans Must Rapidly Intensify Efforts To Prevent Further Global Warming

Mailbox Town Must Defend Master Plan, Deny PU’s Variance Request for Prospect

To the Editor: This past April, Princeton University’s Environmental Studies Department hosted a thoughtful seminar, entitled “Environmental Justice Symposium: Meaningful Engagement between Communities and Institutions of Higher Education.” Anyone committed to sustainability knows that community engagement and support are essential to create positive environmental change. But meaningful engagement with the community is not a model that Princeton University seems interested in following in Princeton, as they seek to destroy three historic homes and impose their 666,000-square-foot engineering and environmental studies complex on the neighbors of Fitzrandolph, Murray, and Prospect. They have not heard the community’s pleas to save the homes by modifying a tiny fraction (2 percent) of a proposed complex that dwarfs most projects on Route 1. At the June meeting of the Princeton Planning Board, the University’s representatives alleged they had done everything right, and that, at the last hour, the rules were being changed on them. This is false and disingenuous. From the outset, the University chose to design without regard for national historic district guidelines or for the town’s zoning and master plan. That is why the University needs a variance from the town. Rather than follow the zoning, or engaging the community, the University has preferred to lawyer up and force their will on their neighbors. They are only shocked that someone dares to say “no.” The University’s position is clear: they allege there is “no controlling authority” to stop them from demolishing all four historic buildings, and the community is powerless. The University is offering a stark choice. Either the town can uphold its zoning and master plan, in which case the University says they’ll destroy the historic Court Clubhouse and leave the three historic Victorians (for now); or the town can let the University violate the zoning and master plan, and the University will save (for now) but displace the Court Clubhouse and destroy the three Victorians. It is a horrible choice, reflecting a gross disregard for the community’s desires and the town’s master plan. All so that a “theorists’ pavilion” can have more “natural light,” and, I suppose, host conferences on justice and meaningful community engagement in 666,000-square-feet of splendor, and not an inch less. Given this Hobson’s choice, where the only option offered is submission to the will of the University and destruction of the community’s history, the town must defend its master plan and its governing authority to zone and plan. The only hope the town has of convincing the University to meaningfully engage is to deny their variance request. If the town compromises its zoning for a compromised neighborhood, the precedent is set, and the gates open for the University to disregard the community and master plan again and again. Please attend the Zoom meeting (bit.ly/prospect-planning) on September 23 at 7 p.m. and urge the Planning Board to (1) deny the University’s variance application, and (2) approve their overall site plan only on condition that these historic buildings be preserved.

To the Editor: Until recently, instead of referring to benign sounding “climate change,” I had been using “climate crisis.” However, the two hurricanes that battered our region with severe flash flooding, tornados, and high winds just in the past month, have opened my eyes to how drastically the situation has worsened. So now I call it the “climate catastrophe.” We see this catastrophe unfolding here, nationwide, and globally, and worsening far faster and more severely than almost anyone expected. Massive fires, extreme heat, flash floods, and droughts are all afflicting the world in unprecedented ways. The organization that I lead, the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA), began a campaign called No Wars, No Warming in conjunction with the People’s Climate March attended by over 400,000 in September 2015. This campaign seeks to educate the public on the connections between militarism and the climate catastrophe. The climate catastrophe is an existential threat in the same category as global nuclear holocaust. If anybody doubts that, just look around at events like those above. We must rapidly intensify efforts to prevent further global warming, or we face the danger of planetary extinction. Readers wanting to join CFPA in this effort are encouraged to visit peacecoalition.org. THE REV. ROBERT MOORE Witherspoon Street The writer is executive director of the Princeton-based Coalition for Peace Action.

To the Editor: Rosedale Road was considerably damaged during the floods following Hurricane Ida. The sidewalk near Johnson Park school has bucked and stretches have been washed out. The road and bridge are potholed. In addition, two weeks ago a man was tragically killed by a car near the school intersection. This is a dangerous stretch of road and sidewalk that has fallen into disrepair. Johnson Park and Greenway Meadows get a lot of use by children, sports teams, and walkers. They need to be able to safely navigate the sidewalks and cross the street. A pedestrian activated crosswalk with a light that signals to cars that to stop is urgently needed, and the sidewalks need to be repaired. BENEDICTE CALLAN, PH.D. Brookstone Drive

Washington Crossing Historic Park Hosts Author of “Travels with George”

New York Times bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick will appear at Washington Crossing Historic Park (Pa.) on Wednesday, September 15 at 7 p.m. for a lecture, Q&A, and signing of his new book, Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy, which will be released the day before his appearance. In Travels with George, Philbrick makes an argument for Washington’s contribution to the forging of America by retracing his journey as a new president through all 13 former colonies, which were a united but unsure nation. The book marks a new, first-person voice for Philbrick, weaving history and personal reflection into a single narrative. According to a starred review in Booklist, “Philbrick moves from one century’s point of view to another’s, perceptively observing what has changed and what has not. He particularly notes the past and current legacy of slaveholding, whether in North or South. This provides highly personal reflection and unique perspective on both the history and the often-contradictory lives of present-day Americans.” Philbrick is the author of numerous bestselling books, including In the Heart of the Sea, winner of the National Book Award for nonfiction; Sea of Glory, winner

of the Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt Naval History Prize; and Mayflower, finalist for both the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in History and the Los Angeles Times Book Award. Philbrick last visited Washington Crossing Historic Park in 2019 to lecture on his book In the Hurricane’s Eye: The Genius of George Washington and the Victory at Yorktown. Tickets to this special event are limited and available online only at WashingtonCrossingPark.org/ events. Ticket price is paywhat-you-w ish w ith pro ceeds benefiting the nonprofit Friends of Washington Crossing Park. Suggested minimum donation is $15 per person. Tickets do not include the new book, which can be purchased on the ticket page for an additional $30. At the request of the publisher, the author will only sign books purchased through the reading. For more information about this event, call the park at (215) 493-4076.

BOOK REVIEW

Lost and Found: A Back to School Reverie A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I’m goin’ back... —Carole King, from “Goin Back” ooking ahead to Thursday, Princeton’s first day of the new school year, I’ve been going back to school, way way back to my first, McCalla Elementary, which was named for Bloomington Indiana’s first female school superintendent and was an easy two-block walk from home. Otherwise, all my schooling, K-12, took place in the same building, with one notable exception (ninth grade in New York City). The country school where I spent grades four through six is a lesser exception since getting there involved a long school bus ride through hills and valleys and woods to a two-room red-brick schoolhouse called Poplar Grove. That humble building still stands and so does the two-story Classical Revival structure that housed McCalla, which is currently used by the Indiana University School of Fine Arts for sculpture classes. Lost and Found After a too-hasty online search, I actually began to fear that the university had demolished the Art Deco building I’d entered as a kindergartner and left as a graduating senior. I was aware that the interior had been gutted long ago because I have a small, neatly cut and polished chunk of the wooden banister with a small plaque attached: University School 19371964. On the opening page of my senior yearbook there’s a two-page photograph of U-School’s Indiana limestone facade next to which a “lamentful” sophomore friend has drawn a ballpoint arrow and the words, “Stu, if you’re smart, boy, you’ll stay the hell out of here.” And so I did for decades, until a classmate and I wandered inside on a June day in 1989. As soon as I walked down the hallway where my locker had been, I realized that I’d been there before in my dreams. I don’t mean nightmares, just dreams of the sort that take you down long, strange, vaguely familiar hallways and stairways and landings, while you try to fulfill enigmatic missions at the urging of various ghostly teachers whose names you’ve forgotten or would prefer not to remember. In these dreams I sometimes end up on the ground floor outside the boy’s locker room, the scene of an ugly, real-life fistfight between a senior class officer and a tough country kid. The class officer was getting the worst of it, his nose bleeding all over his powder blue cashmere sweater. Here were two societal extremes, the elite city kid and the country boy who was

never invited to parties of the in-crowd, even if he happened to be a hero on the field. My friend and I were in there no longer than the time it took to hear the spooky quavering of our voices echoing in the hallway. We’d been kidding around, like old times, two bored-to-death seniors, and the sounds we were making came back at us like something on the soundtrack of low-grade horror movie. The Haunted Yearbook It st ill sur pr ises m e, how b eref t I felt during the brief time when I thought t hat a ll t race s of t hat bu i ld i ng had been erased. Looking just now at the h a l l s a n d lo cke r s and classrooms in my yearbook, the idea became even more inconceivable. There we are, our little society in words and pictures, a small scale democracy, where the person elected student body president was t he one who actually got the most votes, even the year a longhaired, trombone-playing nonentity ran against the elite shoo-in candidate whose father was an administrator at the university. Whether it was for Student Council or Senior Council, all the votes counted, fair and square. And even though our various teams were as often as not on the losing side, no one was ever crazy enough to deny the reality of the final score. Whatever that fight outside the locker room had been about, both fighters were starters on the football team, country boy in the line, city boy in the backfield, and soon enough they made up, they were teammates, the fight cleared the air.

Redefining

W hat innocents we were ! With yearbook headings like “We Study, Plan and Work So We Will Belong,” “We Strive to Fulfill Our Responsibilities,” “Yesterday the Classroom, Tomorrow the World!” But here’s a picture that lights up the page. It shows that year’s homecoming queen, not a senior but a sophomore, smiling so sweetly, so absolutely naturally and nicely, eyes closed, e ve n as ou r ot h er w ise for midably grim and glowering middle-aged principal plants a big kiss on her cheek. When I showed my w ife the photo, she said: “He’d be in trouble if he did that today.” Sad but true, and sad but true the story behind the photograph on the next page, two indisputably attractive females, the valedictorian and salutatorian, winners of Nat ional Mer it scholarships, both branded as “Brains” in our lit tle society because no one could see beyond the stereotype. The Haunted Hallway The yearbook photo that really gets me is the one spread across the top of a page show ing the most familiar of all school scenes, the classic crowded hallway shot of kids of all shapes and sizes coming and going, from seniors to seventh graders. The caption reads: “Traffic jams are frequent happenings in the overcrowded halls between classes.” Tell me about it. I’ve just been there. I’m thinking of the TV schools I’ve attended, of kids coming and going in the halls of Twin Peaks High (“Who killed Laura Palmer? ”), Dillon High in Texas (Friday Night Lights), Hawkins Elementary and High in Indiana (Stranger Things,

built adjacent to the Upside-Down), Sunnydale High (built over The Hellmouth to keep Buffy the Vampire Slayer busy), and, most recently, the nameless high school that haunts Charlie Kaufman’s I’m Thinking of Ending Things. Saved for Music I must have spent an hour Monday morning trying to find evidence that U-School was still there. What a relief to finally locate an image of the building on the corner of Third and Jordan, a view from 2019. Once I found out what actually became of it, I felt even better. My old school now houses one of the largest academic music libraries in the world, with numerous special collections, among them one containing clothing, furniture, recordings, books, and awards from Leonard Bernstein’s composition studio. Now I hear from another classmate that he and his wife recently enjoyed a summer concert “in the old UHS building, where there’s a performance space on the second floor.” Ninth Grade in New York Walking through the Boy’s Entrance at McBurney School on West 63rd Street was not something a freshman from the Midwest ever took for granted. According to a “Streetscapes” piece in the June 16, 2002, New York Times, the 14-story West Side YMCA building occupied by the school resembles a “castellated Italian hill town, with towers, battlements and balconies rising in irregular sympathy, culminating in a huge, central tower with an octagonal roof.” New York 1930 (Rizzoli 1987) refers to the building’s “delightful lightness ... a feeling further enhanced through the extensive use of polychromed terra-cotta.” hen McBurney closed in 1988, there was an auction of its contents. A story in the New York Times describes buyers looking for old yearbooks containing photos of future celebrities. While J.D. Salinger remains the most illustrious McBurneyan, two of television’s favorite high school students went there: John Boy of The Waltons (Richard Thomas) and the Fonz from Happy Days ( Henry Winkler). Although McBurney had other noteworthy alumni, including Felix Rohatyn, chair of the Municipal Assistance Corporation, and Ted Koppel of Nightline, it “may be best remembered,” according to the Wikipedia entry, “as the destination of Holden Caulfield when he left all the equipment of the Pencey PrepOF DISTINCTIVE SELECTIONS fencing team on the subway.” WOODS, FINISHES STYLES —StuartAND Mitchner

Small World Coffee, 254 Nassau Street will host an exhibit by seven local artists working with the historical photography process of pinhole photography. On view T hu r s day, S eptemb er 9 through October 5., the exhibit will be open daily during business hours. A reception with the artists will be held on Sunday, September 12 from 12 to 3 p.m. Pinhole photography requires the artist to use a rudimentary lens-less camera, oftentimes homemade from recycled materials, to capture an image through a small pin-sized hole. This type of camera lends itself to creating photographs with long exposures with almost infinite depth of field, possible light leaks, and warped perspectives. The unique aesthetic is a charming characteristic of pinhole photography that can also be described as magical and otherworldly. You can glimpse that magic in Sharon Harris’s surreal portraiture, or the landscape photographs that Maurice Fitzpatrick creates in his homemade cigar box camera and lomography cameras, or in the photographs of sun trails that Jeff McConnell and Heather Palecek create with their pinhole cameras. Marissa Bunting will exhibit her wildly abstract “solar trails” photographs, and you can also expect to see work from the talented Gul Cevikoglu and Chris Marinari. These seven artists are members of the New Jersey Pinhole Club, founded in 2021 by Heather Palecek. This is their first group exhibit.

Arts Council Appoints Four to Board of Trustees

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) has announced the appointment of four new members to its board of trustees. In addition to serving as a legal entity, board members represent diverse segments of the community through their occupations, geographic locations, experience, and backgrounds. Members of the Arts Council’s board are stewards of the organization’s mission, goals, policies and finances. Joining the board of trustees are Phillip Clippinger, Samira Ghani, Kathy Herring, and Tina Motto. This summer also marked the transition of board president, as Joe Kossow, past vice president of the board

president. “ T h e A r t s C ou n c i l of Princeton has benefited for many years from the guidance and energy of a caring and committed board.” said Kossow. “Together with our new board members, we are looking forward to helping the Arts Council experience a period of sustained growth in our educational, artistic, and outreach programs, and to expanding the many ways that we fulfill our mission of “building community through the arts.” Clippinger has spent the majority of his career in private banking. He has worked for J.P. Morgan, Mer r ill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley, where he is currently a senior vice president. Clippinger has been a keen observer and supporter of the evolving arts community in Princeton for many years. He has given back in the form of volunteering and serving on various boards over the years as a trustee of the Trinity Counseling Service, the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, the Foundation Fighting Blindness, and the Princeton Day School Alumni Board and Development Committee. He has also given his time and energy to other organizations such as HomeFront and the Center for Sup portive Schools, and has coached youth lacrosse and soccer in the community for many years. Clippinger graduated from Princeton Day School and went on to obtain a B.A. from Hobart College and an M.B.A. from the Yale School of Management. Ghani is the mother of three daughters. The arts have always been something close to her and her family’s hear ts. She was on the board of the Princeton Girlchoir and helped the organization thrive for four years. She is also on the board of Montgomery Charity Foundation and the co-leader of her own chapter of the Sisterhood of Salam Shalom. In the past Ghani has been a part of organizations such as Muslims Against Hunger and the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. She formerly worked as a jewelry designer and gemologist, and managed several stores. She is an amazing fundraiser, and recently raised thousands of dollars for local mosques and hunger during the pandemic.

followers where she tries to bring people together through another one of her passions, food. Her ethnicity holds a deep part of her personality and she hopes that by joining the Arts Council of Princeton’s board she can use her unique perspective to help the organization. Herring began her career in New York City working in marketing and public relations. Shortly after she moved to Princeton in 1997, she and a business partner started a frozen chicken pot pie company called Twin Hens, which reached national distribution and food industry awards. After 16 years, Herring decided to devote her time to working with nonprofit organizations and served on boards including Young Audiences, Crawford House, and the Friends Executive Board of IAS. For the past four years she has worked as a volunteer and executive board member for C-Change Conversations, a nonprofit educational program about climate change. She has three grown daughters, and enjoys tennis, swimming, hiking, gardening, and travel. Her husband is Jamie Herring, a local Princeton real estate developer. Motto has over 20 years of human resource experience across multiple industries including pharmaceuticals, financial services, and consumer manufacturing (both union and non-union). She has worked as both a generalist and a specialist and has most recently focused on team effectiveness, talent management, and executive coaching. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Illinois and a master’s degree in industrial and labor relations from Cornell University. Motto also volunteers for the Housing Initiatives of Princeton — she has hosted fundraiser events and also provided ongoing job search and career coaching to program participants. She has lived in Princeton with her husband, Dan and their three children for the last 18 years. During this time, they have enjoyed active and broad participation in various APC offerings including classes, summer camps, thought leader series, dance parties, gallery exhibitions, and various fundraisers. In addition to enjoying community art events, they are also avid art collectors.

The Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) invites the community to a Fall Open House on Saturday, September 18 from 3 to 5 p.m. Free and open to the public, the Fall Open House will feature the inaugural ACP Pottery Throwdown, where attendees can watch ceramic artists in friendly competition while competing in various challenges on the potter’s wheel. In addition, each studio will be filled with opportunities to watch artists at work and discover the variety of classes and workshops the Arts Council has to offer, including painting and drawing, dance, textile art, clay, and more. In celebration of the Arts Council’s increasing public art presence in Princeton, attendees of all ages will be invited to make their mark on a community fence mural that will be on permanent display outside of the Arts Council’s Paul Robeson Center for the Arts. They can also take part in giveaways to win complimentary memberships, ACP “swag,” and additional prizes.

The reception is free and open to the public but due to COVID restrictions, no refreshments will be served, and visitors are encouraged to wear masks. For more about the artist, visit charlesdavidviera.com. memberships, granting access to discounts on classes, camps, and at favorite local businesses across town. “When we are out in the community painting murals, passersby always comment, ‘That looks like so much fun!’ So here is your chance to stop by and participate in some hands-on art making and also see all the classes, workshops, and events we have to offer,” said Maria

Evans, ACP artistic director. “Stop in, see what makes us such a special place, and who knows — after taking a ceramic class, you may just be the star of our next Pottery Throwdown!” The Arts Council of Princeton is located at 102 Witherspoon Street.

Art All Day/Trenton Ciclovia Returns on September 18

Warren Street downtown Trenton, St. Joe’s Avenue in East Trenton, the Roebling Wire Works building, and Artworks’ main galleries will be bursting with art and activities as a combined Art All Day/Ciclovia returns on Saturday, September 18 from noon to 6 p.m. Mindful of the continuing threat of COVID-19, organizers are again planning an event where safety is a priority, featuring outdoor activities and multiple safety protocols for indoor sites. Highlights include the Freedom Skate Park and Trenton Circus Squad at the Roebling Wire Works, live mural painting outdoors and artist open studios and two special exhibits inside at Artworks, plus an activated open Warren Street downtown in partnership with the Trenton Downtown Association, and another open street on St. Joe’s Avenue at Breunig Avenue Park in partnership with the East Trenton Collaborative.

Children’s activities, local food attractions, and multiple walking and bike tours are planned —with the two open streets accessible via the Circuit Trails. The Art All Day trolleys are set to return this year too, with tours of multiple sites participating in the event. “We are hoping, like last year, that after continuing uncertainty and anxiety in the face of coronavirus, Art All Day/Ciclovia will be a breath of fresh air for Trenton, a chance to get outside, reconnect, and rejoice at all we have here,” said Artworks Executive Director Lauren Otis. “Activating streets for people is what Ciclovia is all about, particularly in these isolating times,” said Sonia Szczesna, director of active transportation, Tri-State Transportation Campaign. “We can’t wait to bring people out into the streets of Trenton together for another year in partnership with Art All Day,” she said. Visitors can park at Artworks or the Lafayette Yard Parking

Garage, pick up a map/program and explore for themselves or take a guided tour. A mobile site map and information on the event, schedules, participants and sites, will be available at artworkstrenton.org/artallday and on the Art All Day/Ciclovia Facebook event page. Continued on Next Page

“THE LOOK”: This mixed media mosaic by Helene Plank was featured on the cover of the National Button Bulletin, and will be on display at the New Jersey State Button Society’s Fall Show September 11 at the Union Fire Company in Titusville. Measuring 25 by 31 inches, it uses buttons, sequins, and beads made from glass, plastic, metal, wood, and ceramics, and it took 118 hours to complete.

Button Society Returns For Annual Fall Show

Celebrating its 80th birthday, the New Jersey State But ton S ociet y ( NJSB S ) will open its Fall Show and Competition to the public, for free, on Saturday, September 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad hall, 1396 River Road in Titusville. “We’re offering special activities for those new to button collecting, says Barbara Figge Fox, NJSBS president. “Safety is our first priority. Masks, available at the door, will be required at all times.” Members of the NJSBS share an interest in studying, collecting, and preserving clothing buttons, both old and new. Sewers, knitters, quilters, costume designers, and re-enactors will be able to choose from thousands of clothing buttons offered by dealers from the eastern seaboard. Button displays will celebrate its birthday, and Frank Sinatra song hits from 1941 (“Oh Look at Me Now”) will signal the hourly drawing of door prizes. On view will be button art by Helene Plank, who has created more than 20 prize-winning button mosaics, each using from 1,700 to 1,900 buttons, sewn onto the canvas. For information on “Together Again,” the first inperson button show in the tri-state area since COVID, go to NewJerseyStateButtonSociety.com, email ButtonsInNewJersey@gmail. com, or call ( 609 ) 7594804.

or more than 60 years, the Knecht family has been sharing its dance expertise with students, audiences, and all those who love the dance in all its forms.

IT’S NEW To Us

Established in 1959 by Fred and Joanne Knecht, Danceworks (then known as Knecht Dance Academy) has been a dynamic force in dance instruction, and it is a true family operation. Their daughter Elise is now co-owner of the studio with her daughter Ashlee, who is the third generation to be actively involved. Both women also serve as instructors. After many years in Bucks County, Knecht’s Danceworks moved to the Pennington Square Shopping Center on Route 31 in Pennington last year. Formerly the location of Karen Martin’s Dance Works of Mercer County, the spacious setting offers two state-of-the-art dance studios, featuring sprung and Marley floors, which are easier on the legs and feet and overall body health, points out Elise Knecht. All the Time “Ashlee worked with Karen Martin, and we knew this location, and really liked Pennington,“ she says. “We thought it was a nice area, and would be a good location for us.” Many of their Pennsylvania clients have joined them in Pennington, she adds, and new ones are signing up all the time. Because of Danceworks’ widespread and varied experience, Elise believes her company offers a special set of opportunities for dance students. Not only do they provide high-level instruction, but the Knechts also have performed professionally in many settings. “Both my parents were educated in dance, and were professional dancers, says Elise. “My father taught master classes in the U.S. and abroad.” Fred and Joanne Knecht performed in nightclubs and on the stage. Joanne made her Broadway debut at the age of 18, and with Fred, she played every nightclub in the Philadelphia area, reports Elise. Before meeting Fred, she owned and operated Joanne Dubois’ School of Dance, and created the Tiny Tot program still used at Danceworks. Achievement Awards Fred is known as the “father of jazz dance,” and has received multiple lifetime achievement awards from national dance organizations across the country. As a member of Dance Masters of America, and certified in both Pennsylvania and New York City, he has judged, taught, and choreographed nationally and internationally. Elise followed in her parents’ footsteps (literally!), and has danced professionally in New York City, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, and

the Bahamas. She is also a member of Dance Masters of America, both in New York City and Pennsylvania, where she also served as vice president of the Pennsylvania Association of Dance Teachers. As a judge and choreographer, Elise has worked across the country for national dance competitions. She continues to teach and choreograph for Danceworks. “I’ve been dancing since I was 3 years old,” she says, “and it has been my passion. Now, I love the instruction, and I love working with the kids, and interacting with them, hearing all about what they are doing in school, and what they like. I love being able to share my knowledge with them and also with the teachers.” Ashlee Knecht has also been a competitive dancer, training with Mandy Moore, Jerr y Mitchell, and A nn Reinking. A graduate of Broadway Dance Center’s Professional Semester, she specializes in teaching ballet and lyrical dance at Danceworks in addition to her work as co-owner. She also cont inues to work for numerous dance competitions as an adjudicator, and has been a guest teacher for Dance Masters of Pittsburgh and Dance Masters of Michigan. At Danceworks, lessons are available in a variety of dance genres and for students of all ages and abilities. Ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical (a combination of jazz and ballet), hip-hop, and acrobatics are all offered, and both boys and girls participate. Age and Ability Classes are one hour and are generally categorized by age and ability. Students can start as young as 2 and 3 years old. The Someone Special and Me program is for a parent and child 18 months to 2 years old, and includes songs, coordination exercises, and socializing. Tiny Tots is designed for children, ages 3 to 5, and helps students develop coordination, listening skills, and musicality. The young dancers learn ballet, tap, and tumbling elements, using songs and games. Kinderdance is for ages 5 and 6, and focuses on a combination of jazz and hip-hop. The latter is a real opportunity for students to find their “groove’ while learning how to count and move to current music. They explore rhythm, coordination, and musicality, in a free flowing style. Ballet is the core of all dance training. Through the Knecht program, young dancers gain structure, improve posture, and work though proper body alignment, while learning grace and poise. They also strengthen their control, flexibility, and technique at the barre, and across the floor. They will learn proper ballet terminology and history. Pre-Pointe and Pointe are available to students as they progress. Jazz is very popular, and is an exhilarating style that combines attitude and technique and energy. Students ages 6 and up learn proper w a r m - u p, c o or d i n at i o n , flexibility, and musicality

exercises. As the class progresses, dancers will move on to technical elements, such as turns, leaps, kicks, and combinations. Knecht’s Tap program is very beneficial in helping students gain rhythm and coordination. Dancers learn basic ways to move and create “sounds” using their feet. As the levels progress, students will add intricate and difficult patterns while improving their timing, musicality, and strength. Perfect Opportunity The Lyrical program is a perfect opportunity for the dancer looking to improve technique and express their ability through fluidity and grace. It is a combination of jazz and ballet, and teaches dancers how to interpret age-appropriate music. Acrobatics is another favorite of the students. A combination of gymnastics and contortion elements, it integrates the fluidity and grace of ballet, jazz, and lyrical. Students improve their flexibility and strength, as they learn how to stretch and hold contortion moves. As levels progress, the class begins to introduce tumbling elements in a safe environment. Students ages 6 and up can take classes in any of the dance styles, and Elise Knecht emphasizes the importance of helping students learn the elements of the various dance forms while having fun. Classes are now in person too, and that has been a plus, she points out. “Coming here in person has been very positive for students. They welcome the socialization, especially when so much in their lives has been virtual, including school, etc. The parents are also so grateful that the kids can be here in person, and enjoy seeing them happy and enjoying dancing. “Also, it is so important to keep the students motivated. I try to help them set a goal, and focus on improving one thing, and this helps them build confidence, as they see improvement. They will be encouraged, and ready to do more. In addition, we try to emphasize not worrying about what other students are doing, and not comparing themselves to others.” The majority of students are ages 10 to 15, she reports, and of course, they vary in ability, motivation, and interest. There are serious students who hope to go forward with professional careers, as well as those who are just enjoying the opportunity to have fun and learn new skills. Community Events Recitals in which all of the students participate are held each year in June, and in addition, reports Elise, “We look forward to performing at community events and for organizations, such as assisted living and long-term care facilities, when the COVID regulations allow it. “We are also a member of the Pennington Small Business Association, and we want to be a real part of the community here.” Over the years, Knecht’s students have gone on to success in various areas

Knecht’s Danceworks, Relocated in Pennington, Offers Complete Range of Dance Instruction

EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE: “In addition to instructing students and introducing them to all aspects of dance, a huge part of our program is building relationships. We’ve had some students since they were 3 years old, and who have continued to come over the years. We offer a wonderful program for students of all ages and levels of ability.” Elise Knecht, left, and her daughter Ashlee, co-owners of Knecht’s Danceworks, are enthusiastic about their current program, which is on site and in person. of the dance and performing arts. They have won more than 20 Miss Dance of A merica titles, a Mr. Dance of A mer ic a, and other awards. Hundreds of students have performed on Broadway, including the first “Annie” (Andrea McArdle). On screen, another Knecht’s student, Aileen Quinn, played “Annie,” and numerous “orphans” were portrayed by former Knecht students. “While many of our students graduate to careers in the performing arts, our goal is to lead and teach our students that they are capable of anything in many fields while growing and learning in a safe and positive environment,” explains Elise Knecht. Creating a safe environment is even more crucial while COVID is still a factor, and Knecht’s Danceworks

follows all the state regulations and safety precautions. All surfaces are wiped down between classes, and the floor is cleaned every night. Two waiting rooms are available, one for parents and one for the students. Class sizes are limited, and dancers are required to wear masks. Open House Adult classes are also offered in ballet and tap on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Most of the adults have had prior dance experience, but it is not required, says Elise. “Many of them come for a fun way to have exercise and enjoyment.” Knecht’s Danceworks will hold Open Houses on September 8 and 9 from 5 to 8 p.m., when visitors can register and learn about the programs. Classes are held Monday

through Saturday, 5 to 9:30 p.m. Tiny Tots and Someone Special and Me classes are available Tuesday and Saturday mornings at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Dance supplies, clothing, and accessories, including leotards and shoes, are also offered for purchase. lise Knecht is enthusiastic about introducing even more students to the joy of dancing. As she points out, “We are very happy in our new location, and we look forward to welcoming new students, and helping them discover our special programs and the longtime pleasure of dancing.” For more information, call ( 609 ) 737-7338 or (215) 869-2945; and visit the website at knechtdance.com. —Jean Stratton

Former PU Track Star Bird Exceeds Expectations, Placing 9th In Steeplechase at Tokyo Olympics

izzie Bird felt that she could run better after graduating from Princeton University, but even she was surprised by the level of her recent success. The 2017 Princeton graduate and native of St. Albans Herts, England, set a new British national record of 9:19.68 and placed ninth in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in August. “I wouldn’t have expected this three or four years ago when I just graduated,” said Bird. “I feel like the progression since 2018 has been steady.” Bird closed her racing season by taking 12th place in the women’s steeple at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore., after the Olympics, and shifted attention to starting law school. Given her recent success, Bird has no plans to stop racing, but the build-up will look different while she studies and trains quite fortunately in the running mecca at the University of Colorado in Boulder. “I know not being fulltime, I won’t be able to train at the same rate,” said Bird. “I can’t do two-a-days. I think I still have a lot more in me. I think I can still improve. At the Olympics, just seeing I was third European, maybe I can be challenging for a medal at Europeans or Commonwealths and that can be a pretty cool thing for this year. I have to be realistic that by taking on law school at the same time it will be more challenging and I might not improve at the same rate; but this is a decision I made that I’m ready to do something else on the side that’s a little less of a selfish pursuit.” Bird put off law school to chase her Olympic dream that only began to feel more realistic after finding a new coach and starting to see development while staying healthier than she had been earlier in her career, including at Princeton.

During her Princeton career, Bird was an honorable mention All-America steeplechaser in 2015 in her second year in the event, and was a regionals qualifier each season with the Tigers. She was Ivy League champion twice in the event. After graduation, she kept running. “I had a couple injuries my junior and senior years and I felt I hadn’t quite been able to fulfill my potential in college athletics and I wanted to keep doing it a little longer,” said Bird. “I think probably my goal was to qualify for European Championships or some major championship, but I never thought I could actually go to the Olympics.” Bird made serious breakthroughs under the direction of Pat McCurry, who began coaching her in 2018. McCurry’s original pitch was to get Bird, who has the second fastest steeplechase time in program history at 9:54.76, under 9:40 in the steeple. Her times dropped, and each achievement gave her more confidence to try for the Olympics, including a personal best 9:30.13 in the 2019 World Championships after battling back from a career-threatening stress fracture. “ A f t e r r u n n i n g Wo r l d Championships, which was something I didn’t think I’d be able to do but somehow managed to do, I decided to give full-time running a go for a year,” said Bird. “And when the Olympics were postponed, it became two years.” Finishing her master’s degree in international studies at the University of San Francisco, Bird was able to focus on training in the lead up to the Olympics. Her times got better and better right up to the Olympics. Bird reached the Olympic qualifying standards when she ran 9:26.73 at the Portland Track Festival in May. Then in July she set the new British national record with a 9:22.80

clocking at Monaco in a Diamond League event. “I struggled early in the season in April and May,” said Bird. “I went to a bunch of steeplechase races and at that point I was just trying to get the Olympic standard. It was a really hard mental block getting under 9:30, which is funny to say now because once I managed to do it everything went smoothly and I knocked off another 11 seconds. The season started a little slow, but once I got into the swing of things and hit my stride and got into some races and getting a little success, as the season came to a peak I was able to run a little faster.” Bird felt more confident than ever as she entered the Olympics. She became the first British female to qualify for an Olympic finals when she placed fifth in the semifinals in 9:24.24. She set a new personal best and lowered her own British record with a strong run in the finals. “I was really happy, my goal going into it was to make the final,” said Bird. “I didn’t really have any goals beyond that, other than to finish as high as I could and get the best time I could. I knew it was pretty tough to medal or be top five, but I thought top 10 would be a really achievable but difficult goal, and I finished ninth so I was pretty happy.” Bird has been encouraged by her progress in recent years. Being able to train full-time before advancing her education further helped. She found a perfect window to do so after graduating from Princeton and before entering law school “Training hasn’t changed a huge amount from Princeton,” said Bird. “It’s a little more intense. I don’t do very high mileage or really fast. But one thing my training full-time allowed me to do is to

(Photo provided by Princeton’s Office of Athletic Communications) recover between sessions, which between studying and working it never really let my body recover between runs. That was the main thing that changed from being at Princeton.” When Bird came to Princeton, she focused on being a 1,500-meter runner. It was something that thenhead coach Peter Farrell and some Tiger teammates encouraged. Bird had come in with strong times from the 800 to 3,000 meters but transitioned into the new event. “I never even thought of trying steeplechase until I went to Princeton,” said Bird. “As a freshman, Peter Farrell definitely pushed me into it. And our captain at the time, she was relentless to get me on board. I was a little skeptical. As soon as I tried it, I really enjoyed it.” Just as has happened when she began running professionally, seeing success in her event at Princeton encouraged her to put more energy into it. She had a fun introduction to it in her spring break trip with the track team, and she relished the extra training time it took to work at steeplechase. “I felt smooth going over the hurdles early on and always enjoyed the water jump,” said Bird.

“I did long jump as a kid. It feel like maybe that early introduction helped me get into it. I qualified for regionals freshman year and from then on I did pretty well in it and became a steepler.” Despite her emergence in the steeplechase, Bird remained a strong runner across the board for the Tigers. She holds Princeton’s indoor mile record of 4:39.32, and has a top-five time in the 3,000 as well as sharing in two top-five relay teams. Her time at Princeton kept her interested in competing beyond graduation. “I think Peter was a fantastic coach,” said Bird. “He focused on helping us develop as humans and students as well as athletes. I never felt I was pushed so hard that I was burned out. Even if I had a couple injuries I still had a love of the sport and that meant I wanted to keep doing it after Princeton. I give a lot of credit to Peter and Brad Hunt my final year and the whole team.” Her former Princeton teammates were some of the most supportive as she headed to the ultimate level in running. Their encouragement before the Olympics was some of the most heartwarming and meaningful to Bird. “The week before the Olympics, I got a video from one of my teammates who

got my Princeton teammates to make a video,” said Bird. “They were all saying good luck. It was very nicely done. That was probably the best good luck message I have ever received, and it was a nice reminder of how great the Princeton track team was.” Going forward, Bird is hoping to give them more reason to cheer for her. Next summer, she has the potential to compete in a trio of huge meets at the end of the 2022 summer with the World Championships, Commonwealth Games, and European Championships all within a month beginning mid-July 2022. She won’t look beyond that as she continues to look to progress in steeplechase. “It’s a pretty packed summer,” said Bird. “And I think for law school you’re supposed to get an internship but I’m pretty set on just competing that first summer. I’m not sure how it will go with school and running. I did it at Princeton and I don’t think it’ll be harder than Princeton was. I think Princeton was pretty hard. I’m just going to try to find a balance — do training in the morning and do my reading in the afternoon. And school finishes in May so it’ll be good timing to then be able to compete and train fulltime through the summer.” —Justin Feil

Daniel Diaz-Bonilla and his teammates on the Princeton University men’s soccer team were bound to be a bit rusty as they hosted Rutgers last Friday night in their season opener. Princeton hadn’t played a game in nearly two years with the 2020 season having been canceled due to COVID-19 concerns and had a brief preseason in preparing to play a battle-tested Scarlet Knight squad. “This team has only been together for two weeks after two years off and that team had a season in the spring,” said junior forward DiazBonilla. “They have already had two games and a month together.” But with the shifty DiazBonilla displaying some dazzling footwork, the Tigers were able to put Rutgers on its heels several times outshooting the Scarlet Knights 8-7 in the first half as rivals played to a scoreless draw over the first 45 minutes of the contest.

The attacking unit of senior Kevin O’Toole, sophomore Walker Gillespie, senior Frankie DeRosa, and junior Ryan Clare along with Diaz-Bonilla was in sync despite the long hiatus from game action. “We trust each other,” said Diaz-Bonilla. “We are always fluid, we are moving, we are getting off each other. I could play on the right, Kevin can play on the left and Walker can drop down. It is super fluid. We have got Frankie coming off the bench and Ryan sometimes goes up for us. We have a lot of options.” Things were even more fluid in the second half as Princeton outshot Rutgers 12-5 only to lose 1-0 on an own goal with 34:19 remaining in regulation. “Eve n t h o u g h we g ot scored on in the second half, I actually thought we were getting better and better,” said Diaz-Bonilla. “The positive is that we created a lot of chances,

the negative is that we didn’t put them away. In the second half, I felt that we were going to score and send this into overtime.” Over the last 22 months, Diaz-Bonilla put in a lot of work to get ready for the return to competition. “It has literally just been two years of just grinding and waiting for this, lifting, working out, training on my own, watching film, doing what I can so I feel good,” said Diaz-Bonilla, a 5’11, 175-pound native of Vienna, Va., who tallied three goals and two assists as a freshman in 2019. “I feel stronger. I got fitter. I am excited for the season, I am excited for this team.” Princeton head coach Jim Barlow was excited to see his team back on the pitch for its first game since November 16, 2019 when the Tigers fell 2-1 to Yale. “It was great, it was a great environment, great fans, and great energy here; it is just frustrating that we

didn’t get the result,” said Barlow of the contest which drew a spirited crowd of 584 to Class of 1952 Stadium. “I thought we still struggled to really be efficient and clean in the final third. For the amount of time we spent up there, you got to get a goal. I give them credit, their keeper made an incredible save on Ryan Clare in the second half.” P r i n c e to n d i d d i s p l ay some flashes of brilliance at the offensive end of the field. “We definitely have some dangerous attacking guys and I thought they all put in a good effort today,” said Barlow. “They all had good games. Like I said at the end to our team, I don’t think anyone had a bad game. I think every guy that we played, played well. They made it hard to think about subbing because they didn’t look tired and they were playing well. The second half kept getting better and better.” Barlow credited Diaz-Bonilla with producing a good performance. “That is what we expect from him, to be able to break people down on the dribble and get chances,” said Barlow of Diaz-Bonilla, who had two shots against Rutgers. “He is doing better with h i s d efe n d i n g n ow a n d pressing. He picked them off a few times and got dangerous on counters. It was a good game for him.” The Princeton defense also got better over the latter stages of the contest. “We were shaky with the passing in the first half,” said Barlow.

“I think all four of them settled in as the game went on. I thought you could see some rust and some nerves in the first half. We gave them the ball in some dangerous spots that we can’t afford to do. Jack [Roberts] had to come up big a couple of times and Alex [Charles] had to save the day a couple of times.” As the Tigers hit the road for a game at Vermont on September 7 before heading to Colgate on September 12, Barlow believes his squad will break the ice offensively. “I think every game is going to be like this: tough, 100 miles per hour, and really competitive,” said Barlow. “You have just got be better in front of both goals. Hopefully the goals w ill

start coming; we have got to get that first one. We have two tough road trips now to Vermont and Colgate. Not only are they long trips but they are good teams and tough places to play. Vermont is doing really well so we have got to get back to work.” Diaz-Bonilla and his teammates are ready to keep working hard. “It is a quick turnaround, we have two days and we will be heading up there Monday night,” said DiazBonilla. “We are going to take a look at the film and make some adjustments. We will come out strong against Vermont and hopefully put away some goals.” —Bill Alden

Although Princeton Field Hockey Starts 0-2, Freshman Yeager Makes Immediate Impact It didn’t take long for Beth Yeager to make an impact for the Princeton University field hockey team last weekend in her collegiate debut. After the highly touted striker generated five shots on goal but was held scoreless in a 4-1 loss to topranked and three-time defending national champion North Carolina on Friday, Yeager tallied both goals for No. 13 Princeton in a 3-2 overtime loss to fifth-ranked Louisville two days later. While Yeager was disappointed by the defeat to the Cardinals, she saw positives coming out of the setback. “We were excited to come out today and work on a few things,” said Yeager. “Even though it was a disappointing result, there was a lot of progress that we made. It is a long season, there is lots to build on.” Yeager was excited to notch her first collegiate goal, which came on a penalty stroke midway through the first period to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. “I was just aiming for the

spot, trying to keep calm, not focus on all of the noise around me and do my best,” recalled Yeager, a 5’7 native of Greenwich, Conn., who has competed for the U.S. U-17 and U-19 outdoor junior teams. “It is really exciting; I was just happy to contribute to the team in that moment and put it in.” After Louisville responded with two straight goals, Yeager found the back of the cage again, converting a penalty corner with 30 seconds left in the half to knot the contest at 2-2. “That is one of our key corners, I think we did a pretty good job of getting some good opportunities off of them,” said Yeager of the goal which was assisted on by Sam Davidson and Ali McCarthy. “It was good that we got one again.” Although Princeton outshot the Cardinals 9-5 in the second half, it didn’t score again on the day and fell in OT when Louisville tallied 4:47 into the extra session to get the win.

“We had a lot of opportunities in the second half and some really, really close ones,” said Yeager. “We definitely won the second half I think even though the score didn’t reflect that but that is always a good thing.” Reflecting on the weekend overall, Yeager believes the Tigers made progress offensively. “I think both games it is just about finishing it,” added Yeager. “We are get t ing some good opportunities but we just need to put them in the back of the cage at the end of the day.” Yeager relished getting the chance to make her college debut. “It has been amazing,” said Yeager. “I think one of the biggest things is the speed of play, the game is so much faster. You don’t have time to think like you do in high school or club.” Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente saw some good things from her attacking unit against Louisville.

FRESH APPROACH: Princeton University field hockey player Beth Yeager, center, races upfield past two North Carolina defenders last Friday in Princeton’s season opener. The 13th-ranked Tigers fell 4-1 to top-ranked UNC and then showed progress in losing 3-2 in overtime to No. 5 Louisville two days later. Freshman star Yeager notched her first college goals in the loss to the Cardinals, tallying both scores for Princeton in the defeat. In upcoming action, the Tigers host No. 12 Duke on September 11. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) “The offense is fine, you just hope we put a few more in,” said Tagliente, whose team outshot the Cardinals 17-11. “We had a bunch of 3-versus-1s in the circle and some open shots and rebounds. In reality, statistically you would think we would win by two or three goals. It is fine, you are going to have games like that. You have to put them away and we didn’t.” Tagliente was not surprised to see Yeager put two away against Louisville. “Beth is just a dominant player and is clearly one of the best players in NCAA hockey right now,” asserted Tagliente. “She brings a different presence on attack and on

defense. She has had a great start so far and she is only going to go up from here.” In assessing the weekend, Tagliente is looking for the Princeton defense to tighten up. “ We tal ked about our counter structure and how to close that off and just some soft turnovers out of our defensive end,” said Tagliente. “I think we did better with the soft turnovers. We just need to be a lot stronger in the back in terms of tackling further outside the circle, just being able to double and come up with clean tackles. We are just a little off right now.” With a young squad that has no seniors on its roster, Tagliente believes that the

Tigers can have a strong season even through there will be bumps in the road along the way. “I think the ceiling is high,” said Tagliente, whose squad is next in action when it hosts No. 12 Duke on September 11. “With a young team and a tough schedule, you have to keep your head in the game and be able to grind out and grow through these difficult moments.” Yeager, for her part, is confident that Princeton will grow into something special. “The team has been really great and welcoming; it is a great community to be part of,” said Yeager. “We have a bright future ahead definitely.” —Bill Alden

WORLD-BEATERS: Princeton University women’s hockey players Sarah Fillier, left, and Claire Thompson’20 celebrate after helping Canada defeat the U.S. 3-2 in overtime in the title game of the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) Women’s World Championships on August 31 in Calgary, Alberta. Star forward Fillier, who completed her sophomore season at Princeton in 2019-20, had an assist in the final. The two Tigers combined for 10 points over seven games at the tourney, which Canada swept with four preliminary-round wins and then three victories in a row through the elimination bracket. Fillier had three goals and three assists while defenseman Thompson had four assists. It marked Canada’s first title at the competition since 2012. Thompson and Fillier are the first Princetonians to win an IIHF gold medal since Megan Van Beusekom’04 became a two-time champion with the U.S. in 2009.

Despite Losing 14 Seniors to Graduation, PHS Boys’ Soccer Reloading, Not Rebuilding Over the years, the Princeton High boys’ soccer team has proven that it is one of those programs that doesn’t rebuild, it reloads. After losing 14 seniors from a squad that went 9-31 last year and advanced to the Central West Group 4 sectional final, the cupboard is far from bare as PHS opens its 2021 season by hosting Robbinsville on September 8. “We have a really good nucleus of senior players, five of whom have been on the team a while; this is their third year,” said PHS head coach Wayne Sutcliffe, who is in his 25th season at the helm of the program and guided the Tigers to 2009 and 2012 Group 3 state titles in addition to several sectional and county crowns and passing the 300-win milestone in 2016. “The preseason has been great. There is a sense of excitement at the prospect of some normalcy here.” PHS tested itself in the preseason, scr im mag ing such for midable foes as S cotch Pla i ns - Fa nwo o d, Christian Brothers Academy, and Gill St Bernard’s, among others. “We just kept getting better at everything which is encouraging,” said Sutcliffe. “That would be the primary observation, we got better every scrimmage.” Senior Nico Carusone and junior Richard Wegman have emerged as the primary offensive threats at forward for the Tigers. “They are finding some

understanding,” said Sutclif fe, who w ill also be looking at sophomore Felipe Matar Grandi Davis and senior Joe Borovoy up top. “It has been promising in terms of their performance in the preseason friendlies we have had which have been pretty demanding.” The PHS midfield boasts a number of promising players in senior Owen Deming, ju n ior E manuel Noyola, sophomore Nick Matese, sophomore Patrick Kenah, senior Cooper Ealy, and senior Drew Petrone. “We have a holding center mid, a third year player in Owen, he is a good lacrosse player too,” said Sutcliffe. “He is really good, he is a good player. He is experienced, he has been around l i ke N i c o a n d R i ch a r d. Emanuel has shown very well, he is really good. We have some other younger players like Nick, he has also shown very well. We have a plethora of midfielders with other guys who are really showing well like Patrick, Cooper, and Drew.” Along the back line, Sutcliffe is looking at senior Breno Azevedo, senior Charlie Novak, senior Reuben Breitman, junior Nat Tudor, junior Zhibo Huang, junior Erik Luijendijk, senior Alexander DeLuca, and junior Leo George. “Breno is back, he is very good,” said Sutcliffe. “Charlie Novak is an excellent player at left back. We have some good additional guys in Reuben and Nat at center back. Zhibo and Erik

are good players. Zander and Leo are also in the mix.” After taking a hiatus from soccer, senior Carl Birge is back with the program and has earned the starting spot at goalie. “Carl is the catcher on the baseball team, he played goalie early days so he has got a background,” said Sutcliffe, who has two backup goalies in junior Oleg Brennan and senior Troy Curran. “He did not play last fall, he last played as a freshman. He has been working all summer and is showing pretty well. He has got great agility and strong hands. He has a soft touch on the ball. He brings another dimension because he is an experienced, distinct varsity athlete in another sport already. He brings some confidence and is close with the other seniors. It takes a while but the athleticism lends itself and he is smart.” In order to continue the program’s winning tradition this season, PHS will need to play some smart soccer and maintain the intensity all fall. “The back four have to be really sharp and have a quick learning curve in front of a new goalkeeper,” said Sutcliffe. “The players have to keep competing with one another in order to enjoy their soccer and create a competitive environment in training, not just in the second week or the fourth week but in the sixth, eighth weeks when it matters most. We have been fortunate with that in the past, soccer is a big deal in the Princeton community.” —Bill Alden

Kosa Taking the Helm of PHS Girls’ Soccer, Determined to Maintain Program’s Winning Ways Dave Kosa has been exposed to a lot of outstanding high school girls’ soccer squads over the years. Growing up, Kosa sent a lot of time in the stands as his late father, Louis Kosa, enjoyed a legendary career coaching the East Brunswick High girls’ soccer team, guiding the program to a 527-63-22 record, capturing eight state championships, and a No. 1 ranking in the nation in 1992. Over the last six years, Kosa has served as an assistant coach for the successful Princeton High girls’ soccer program, also leading the JV squad in five of those seasons. This fall, Kosa will look to help PHS continue its winning ways, taking the helm of the program, succeeding Val Rodriguez, who stepped down last fall after coaching the Tigers to a 9-3-1 record in 2020. “I am really excited and happy to continue the tradition of the girls’ soccer program that Greg [Hand] had and passed on to Val,” said Kosa, who also serves as the head coach of the PHS girls’ basketball team. “It is a really good bunch. They are really good kids and good people; that is the most important thing. They have taken to working hard and just trying to get better. We want to play the best soccer at the end of the season. We have a lot of great talent. It is my job to mesh then and work them hard. We are really looking forward to that.” The Tigers boast some talented players at forward in senior co-captains Sophia Lis and Megan Rougas along with sophomore Holly Howes. “Sophia is going to Lehigh on a soccer scholarship; she is very talented and has shown that in the scrimmages that we have played so far,” said Kosa, whose team kicks off its 2021 campaign by playing at Robbinsville on September 8. “Megan is very fast, she is very tough. She has a knack for being around the ball.

We have Holly who can also play there. She is actually the fastest one of the bunch; she just sped past people in scrimmages.” In the midfield, the trio of sophomore Casey Serxner, senior Naomi Bazar, and sophomore Brielle Moran has been playing well. “Casey is such a competitor and she is also very tough,” said Kosa. “She will be one of our inside mids. The other inside mid is Naomi. On the outside, it will probably be Holly [Howes] and Brielle starting.” Sophomore Alysse Kiesewetter, senior Annie Kosa, junior Rowan Gilmore, and freshman Annabella Weidmann will look to provide some tough play along the back line for PHS. “Alysse played a lot of outside mid last year; in the first couple of scrimmages, she was going back and forth between midfield and defense,” said Kosa. “After that third scrimmage, I was thinking she looks really good back there so she is going to be playing our left outside back. My daughter, Annie, is our sweeper. She was a stopper as a freshman and then played sweeper as a sophomore on the JV team and did a great job back there. She is very familiar with that role. Rowan is going to be our stopper. We have a freshman, Annabella, who came in from Germany. I was penciling people in before the season and I realized I really need a right outside back and that is what she plays. She will have a lot to learn but she is really tough back there and has some soccer skill.” At goalie, senior Moji Ayodele is showing her skill as she aims to produce a big final campaign after being hampered a bit by injury as a junior. “Moji is looking really good, she is very athletic,” said Kosa. “Last year in the games that she played, we didn’t lose a game; we tied one

against Steinert with her playing.” In Kosa’s view, doing well in the first week of the season could set the tone for the Tigers this fall. “We are going to have to come together defensively, being that we have first-year starters back there,” said Kosa. “The scrimmages have given us really good experience; we have played some good competition to get us ready. I think we will score goals and having Moji in goal is going to help us. Our first two games are Robbinsville and Steinert so that is two good ones right off the bat. Coming out of the gate strong could really propel us but we will have to work really hard to earn those wins.” —Bill Alden

PREPARE & PROTECT TREES & SHRUBS FOR WINTER with Pepper deTuro WOODWINDS ASSOCIATES

Most urban landscape soils are in poor condition. The soils are highly compacted and low in organic matter forcing trees and shrubs to grow under stress. Fall bio-fertilization provides a natural systems approach for improving soil fertility and plant health by assisting roots to improve access to water, minerals and nutrients. The biological products available for application by plant professionals utilizing organic stimulants would improve pest and stress resistance, aerate and amend soil, and promote healthy root development, all without stimulating excess top growth or the use of pesticides or other chemicals and in our opinion, provide the greatest long-term return on investment for your trees and shrubs. Special care for shrubs and trees: Trees and shrubs sleep in winter and so do the pests. Horticultural oil applications made in late fall/early winter can be an excellent way to reduce populations of certain insect and mite pests that over-winter on woody plants. Deer damage in gardens has become a serious problem in New Jersey. The EPA has recently approved DeerPro, the longest lasting deer repellent on the market. One spray in October or November will still be protecting trees and shrubs into early spring.

The players on the Princeton High field hockey team started laying the groundwork for a big 2021 season well before they hit the field for preseason practices in mid-August. “We have been playing all summer, we really never stopped so this is just another part of our season,” said PHS head coach Heather Serverson, noting that her players have played pickup at school two days a week and have also played pickup at Centercourt Sports in Lawrence and competed for various club programs. “They are such a closeknit group and we only graduated three people. It is kind of just like getting the band back together. One of the biggest plusses about this team is that they are all extremely familiar with playing with one another.” There will be plenty of familiar faces on the field for the Tigers as the squad boasts a stellar senior group. “We have seven seniors and they have been doing a great job, trying to set the standards in practices and at games,” said Serverson, whose team went 8-2 last year and begins its 2021 season by playing at Allentown on September 9. “They are great leaders in general, they really make an effort to reach out to the younger girls. They make sure that everyone feels included and welcome. It is great environment.” The forward line features a great player in senior Olivia Weir, who has committed to attend Rutgers University and play for its field hockey program.

“Olivia is looking good, she is healthy, she is happy,” said Serverson. “She is a creative player too. She is a good team player and that is why she helps make us look good as well as herself. She would rather someone else would have the goal almost than herself.” Serverson has other options at forward in addition to Weir. “Erin Cooke is a senior and she is in the mix,” added Serverson. “Sophomore Erin Liggio is a promising player who could produce some goals for us.” The Tiger midfield is a work in progress with sophomore Delaney Keegan in the mix along with senior Aleena Inayat and junior Gianna DiGioacchino. “Delaney is playing high mid for us right now,” said Serverson. “She was on varsity last year but she never got to play because she was injured. The midfield on both sides is up in the air. I am looking at Aleena or Gianna. They have both been playing well there down the center for us. We are just trying to figure out how we best fit together there.” Senior star Grace Rebak, who has verbally committed to attend Williams College and compete for its field hockey program, will spearhead the back line “Now that the other players are more seasoned, Grace feels more comfortable with going forward,” said Serverson, whose defensive unit will also include senior Stella Matsukawa

along with either Inayat or DiGioacchino. “She is awesome, I am really going to miss her. I think her decision-making and timing is spot on. She is just so calm and steady in making decisions at just the right moment. Her communication in the back keeps everyone else nice and steady and calm. It is a senior and junior defensive backfield.” Battle-tested senior Frankie deFaria gives PHS a steady presence at goalie. “Frankie is looking good; she is even better with the aerial shots now, we have been working on that,” said Serverson. “She is also a big communicator back there for us. Between her and Grace, they keep everybody calm and playing well. It is amazing.” In Serverson’s view, PHS has the potential to produce an amazing season this fall if it takes care of business on and off the field. “I think that the adjustment of going back to school is probably going to be a key to our success,” said Serverson. “It is all in-person this year; they are not used to getting up that early, so it is just that readjustment to getting back to normal. Other than that, this might be one of the most skilled teams I have ever coached at PHS. If we continue on the trajectory that I think we should be on, we should be doing some good things this season.” —Bill Alden

PDS Field Hockey Excited For a Busy Fall, Facing New Challenges in Joining NJSIAA After having an abbreviated season in 2020 due to COV ID -19 concerns, the Princeton Day School field hockey team is looking forward to being busy this fall. “There is a sense of excitement,” said PDS head coach Heather Farlow, who guided the Panthers to 5-41 record last season. “We have joined the other state association (the New Jersey State Interscholas-

tic Athletic Association ) so that means that we are averaging three games a week, which is a lot.” PDS boasts some exciting performers in the forward line in senior Ally Antonacci, senior Haley Sullivan, sophomore Tessa Caputo, senior Kacey Fisher, and senior Gabriella Thomas. “We have only had one scr immage against F lorence and we won 6-3,” said

Farlow, whose team opens its 2021 campaign by hosting W W/P-North on September 8. “Ally, Haley, and Tessa have stood out, they are finishers.” In the midfield, the Panthers will rely on a quartet of standouts in junior Jadyn Huff, senior Maggie ZarishYas u n as, s e n ior Fr a n ny Gallagher, and freshman Charlotte Mullen. “They are experienced,” a d d e d Fa r l o w. “J a d y n , Franny, and Maggie are all returning veteran players and good athletes.

We have Rebecca Willner, she is a senior and is getting in there. I have a freshman Peyton Richardson who is also get ting used to the speed of play.” Frances Bobbit and Molly Hall will be handling the goalie duties this fall for PDS. “We have a senior, Frances, and Molly, who is a freshman, at goalie,” said Farlow. “They are competing for varsity time.” In Farlow’s view, being sharp around the goal will be the key to competing well as PDS deals with the challenges of starting NJSIAA play. “We are hoping to generate a strong offensive output; it is just strengthening our play in the 25 at both ends, offensive and defensive,” said Farlow. “We don’t know what to expect since we are in this new state association. We are taking on more public schools; I think that we will be competitive.” —Bill Alden

With the Hun School boys’ soccer team boasting skill all over the field, its daily practice sessions have turned into a pitched battles. “From top to bottom, it is one of the most talented teams that I have had,” said Hun head coach Pat Quirk, whose team went 1-5 last fall in a season abbreviated by COVID-19 concerns and will start its 2021 campaign by playing at the Germantown Academy (Pa.) on September 10. “It is going to be tough, that is the culture that the kids want it to be. It needs to be competitive every day in practice, maybe even more competitive than when we get into games. If a kid is off one practice, we have kids who can fill the role.” A quartet of forwards, junior Mass Verduci, sophomore Joey Bucchere, junior Will Zeng, and senior Hector Suriel, should provide the firepower to keep Hun competitive. “Those are our main guys up top, we will mix and match them,” said Quirk. “We scored 11 goals in a scrimmage against Nottingham and we scored three goals against Hopewell in a scrimmage. I think we are going to see some goals. Those guys are going to be finishing but they are going to be set up by the midfield.” T h at m i d f i el d w i l l b e spearheaded by junior Tyler Stark, senior Ozzie Bayazitoglu, junior Adhityan Tamilselvan, and sophomore Michael D’Aulerio. “They are really good with the ball at their feet, they are really good at distributing,” said Quirk. “They are awesome at breaking lines and putting guys in; they just understand the game so well.” O n defens e, a bat t le -

tested group of senior John Balian, senior A.J. Torres, senior Aden Spektor, and sophomore Conor Frykholm will be holding the fort. “John and A.J are definitely going to be leaders there as the outside backs,” said Quirk. “Aden s tar te d play i ng center back for us last year. Conor played center mid for us last year and we slid him back; he is a center back now. The four of them are a very strong, sturdy unit.” Quirk is looking for a strong season from senior goalie Ayden Isbirian. “Ayden is back; he put in a lot of work this summer and has been working with our goalie coach [Nick Savino],” said Quirk, whose backup keeper will be freshman Diego Pena. “It is his spot right now, he is doing well. He is working on his positioning and his vocal leadership in the back has been good. He has gotten stronger. The freshman goalie, Diego, is going to be good. He is going to push Ayden to play his best every day. That is a theme we have got with our team.” In Quirk ’s v iew, those daily battles should steel the Raiders for the challenges ahead. “We need to be competing in practice every day and not staying complacent,” said Quirk. “That has hurt us in the pas t, b ei ng happy w it h where we are rather than trying to get better each day. I think we saw the work ethic in the summer with guys getting together and going through preseason. They know that each day that we start is a new day, the previous day was the easiest day. We just have to keep going, we are looking strong.” —Bill Alden

Local Sports Helene Cody 5K Race Set for September 11

The 13th Annual Helene Cody 5-kilometer race and 1-Mile Fun Run is taking place on September 11 on a new course with the start and finish line at Heritage Park in Cranbury. The fun run begins at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K starts at 9 a.m. The 5K is chip-timed and USATF-certified with water stations throughout the course. Trophies will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers overall and in each age group for the 5K. Every fun run finisher will receive a medal and trophies will be awarded to the top three boys and girls. The Cranbury Day celebration will begin immediately after the race on Main Street. Additional race information and online registration is available at helenecody.com/5kand-1-mile-runwalk.html. This event is the main fundraiser for the Helene Cody Foundation, whose mission is to inspire youth to volunteer, to better their communities and themselves. Prior to her death in 2008, Helene Cody, a Princeton High student, planned to revive the Cranbury Day 5K, a community event that had been discontinued in 2006, as a way to combine her love of distance running and community service for her Girl Scout gold award project. When she passed away, a classmate organized the first Helene Cody Cranbury 5K in memory of Helene for his Eagle Scout project. Every year since, the Helene Cody Foundation has used the event to bring the community together and use the proceeds to sponsor youth service projects and provide scholarships. All proceeds go directly to the Helene Cody Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charity.

Emphasizing Competitive Fire on a Daily Basis, Talented Hun Boys’ Soccer Primed for Strong Season

OVERDRIVE: Princeton High football player Jaiden Johnson races up the field in a game last fall. On Saturday, Johnson and the PHS kicked off the 2021 campaign by falling 26-7 to Overbrook High. Senior receiver Johnson scored the Tiger touchdown in the game on a 27-yard reception from quarterback Jaxon Petrone. Johnson made nine catches for 140 yards in the contest with Petrone completing 14-of-35 passes for 189 yards. The Tigers will look to get on the winning track when they host Haddon Heights (1-0) on September 11 in their home opener. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Obituaries

Charles Joseph “Cal” Heitzmann Jr. 1940-2021

Charles Joseph Heitzmann Jr., 80, beloved husband of Marilyn Heitzmann, passed away on August 22, 2021 at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. Cal, as he was know n by his friends and family, was born in Weehawken, NJ, to Charles and Lula Heitzmann. Throughout his entire life, Cal was incredibly passionate about Weehawken. As an athlete, he excelled on the field lettering multiple years in soccer, basketball, and baseball. As a student, he graduated with honors. But there was nothing more special to him about Weehawken than the lifelong group of friends he made there, many of whom he stayed connected to for his entire life. C a l g r ad u ate d w it h a Bachelor of Science degree from St. Peter’s University with a major in American

History. He went on to receive a master’s degree from New Jersey City University. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, Cal married Ruth Steinmetz, who pre-deceased him. The two were happily married for 33 years. After a few years of travel, they had two children, son David and daughter Laura. They raised their family in Belle Mead, New Jersey. Cal’s love of sports also spilled over into coaching where he coached both his son and his daughter for many years in both basketball and baseball. He was particularly proud of one of his daughter’s teams winning the league championship in basketball. He also continued to play in both softball and basketball leagues well into his 50s with more wonderful friends that he made along the way. Cal was keenly interested in helping others and spent his entire 40-year career in the healthcare industry starting with the CDC as a field epidemiologist, spending the first five years of his career there. He spent most of his working life serving as the Executive Director of the Academy of Medicine of New Jersey. Here, Cal was instrumental in creating and developing the concept of an “Academy” to manage the business affairs for medical specialty and health related organizations. This concept has since been adopted by dozens of states and major cities across the country, all focused on sponsoring continuing medical education programs for physicians. Cal served on many Boards and Committees including the NJ Osteopathic Education Foundation Board of

Directors and the American Diabetes Association, NJ Affiliate Board of Directors. He was also a member of the American Association of Medical Society Executives. It was in Princeton where he met his devoted wife of more than 19 years, Marilyn Davies. The two made an instant connection at a Princeton Hockey game and the rest was history. Cal and Marilyn spent half their time in Naples, Florida, and the other half in Princeton / Skillman, New Jersey. Like newlywed kids, they enjoyed so much together including fine dining on the town and friendly competition on the golf course. Cal being an avid New York Yankee fan even got Marilyn to become one herself. They were each other’s greatest strength, and they treated each other’s families like their very own. Cal had a unique way of connecting with people on a personal level and making them feel great about themselves. He was also one of the kindest, loyal, and trustworthy people one could ever know. All of Cal’s family and friends will miss him dearly. Cal is survived by his wife, Mar ilyn Heitzmann ; t wo children (and spouses), David (Carol) Heitzmann and Laura ( Paul) Ulrich ; and four adoring grandchildren, Trevor, Paulie, Kelsey, and Charlie. He is also survived by four step-children (and sp ou s e s ) , Br u ce Dav ie s (Susan Marcantonio), Mark Davies ( Lidianny Barga), Eric Davies (Trevor Davies), and Nancy Davies ( Brad Schwar tz ); and six step grandchildren, Kyle, Lucas,

Nadia, Elliot, Sage, and Elle. He also leaves behind his sister Gail Hunt and his cousin Mary Bea Kingwill. A Memorial Service was held on August 26, 2021 at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Cal Heitzmann to the Parkinson’s Foundation (parkinson.org) or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (st.jude.org).
