BOE Set to Endorse Referendum Proposal For November Ballot

Amidst controversy and a variety of concerns voiced privately and publicly, the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education (BOE) is preparing to approve the final draft of its $129.6M facilities bond referendum, which will go on the November 6 ballot.

“The DOE [New Jersey Department of Education] is currently reviewing all projects associated with the referendum, and the Board looks forward to approving the ballot question at its next meeting on Tuesday, September 4,” said Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

The community’s most pressing concerns center on the cost of the building and renovation plans, and the impact on property taxes, particularly for residents who are already under financial stress.

Questions have arisen about uncertainty surrounding long-term operations expenses, which go beyond the referendum price tag, and a number of residents have called for more details on various aspects of the referendum.

Cochrane addressed the ongoing demand for information and transparency, stating, “We are eager to ensure our community is informed and engaged with regard to the plans for the referendum and the associated costs. We will be offering regular tours of the high school this fall so that community members can see the current conditions of the building and more readily visualize the changes we have planned. We will also be holding additional community discussions about the referendum.”

The first information/discussion session will take place on Saturday, September 22 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Princeton High School cafeteria, following a 9-10 a.m. tour of the school. The dates and times of tours and information sessions will be posted on the district’s website.

A number of the most pressing concerns were articulated by the panelists at the August 11 Joint Effort Safe Streets forum on the referendum. Leighton Newlin described the difficulty of the choice involved. “I believe in Steve Cochrane,” he said. “He’s committed and dedicated and has all the children’s best interests at heart, but Princeton is being choked by wealth and entitlement.”

Officials Condemn White Nationalist Stickers

Town officials have condemned the white nationalist stickers that appeared on lamp posts downtown last Thursday, posted by supporters of a group known as the New Jersey European Heritage Association (NJEHA) and declaring “Reclaim Your Nation. Reclaim Your Heritage.”

“Mayor and Council join our residents in condemning the racist materials spread by white supremacists in our central business district,” Mayor Liz Lempert and Princeton Council wrote in a joint statement. “We know Princeton’s longtime strength is its diversity. We know that what unites us as a community is far stronger than the twisted rhetoric of those who would divide us.”

The stickers, seen on the corner of Nassau and Harrison streets and on Washington Road near the Woodrow Wilson School, were quickly removed, as were similar flyers that appeared in Princeton in March and at Princeton University twice in the past year.

Several demonstrators at the August 12 Unite the Right 2 Rally in Washington, D.C. wore helmets bearing similar stickers promoting the NJEHA, which claims that the white race is an endangered species.

“Our European race is in a struggle for survival,” its website proclaims. “Don’t sit idly by as we fight for existence.”

Lance Liverman, Princeton Council member and acting mayor this week in

Lempert’s absence, expressed his disapproval. “We simply don’t believe in this,” he said. “We are not a community that divides. These were probably posted by folks who don’t live here. People I know don’t buy into that stuff.”

Emphasizing the need “to speak up and let folks know where we stand,” Liverman suggested that the charged political atmosphere in the country at large has been problematic. “People say that Trump may have refueled the hate that’s out there, but don’t be intimidated. Don’t be fearful. This is not something we’re going to tolerate.

We’re more about love than hatred.”

pending Smart Card changes.

Currently, Smart Card refills are limited to $20. Sales of the cards are scheduled to end on September 4, and refills will only be available through October 1. The installation of new meters will begin in mid-October, and Smart Cards will not be compatible with them. Park Princeton, the new parking system, will launch with new payment options on November 5.

Municipal engineer Deanna Stockton told Council that ending the sale of Smart Cards soon is “fortuitous, because that’s about the time we will run out of the cards

in our inventory,” she said.

“We should be more aggressive,” said Council President Jenny Crumiller. “Why don’t we just stop selling them now? We should tell people they must use up their balance, not just that it is suggested. I understand it’s going to be painful for people who have Smart Cards, but better to do it now.”

Princeton has been studying upgrades to its parking system for a few years.

The new system, called Park Princeton, will include several payment options,

Smart Cards to Be Phased Out as Part of New Parking Plan

Attention, holders of Smart Cards: using them to pay for parking at the Spring Street Garage and at meters around town will soon be obsolete. The municipality of Princeton is urging cardholders to use up their balances as the town prepares to transition to a new parking system.

While Princeton Council has yet to make final decisions on other components of the system, which is being designed to be more economical, technically sophisticated, and user-friendly, members agreed at their August 13 meeting that it was important to begin alerting the public to the

Panel Experts Will Discuss Immigration, Provide Information on Multiple Issues

“Immigration Today, A Latino Reality,” a discussion of local and national immigration issues, led by a panel of experts, will take place at the old Borough Hall on Monument Drive on Thursday, August 23 from 6 to

7:30 p.m.

Panelists will include Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund (LALDEF) Executive Director Adriana Abizadeh, Brother Christopher McNabb from Trinity Church, Princeton Universit y Sociolog y Professor and Director of the University’s Center for Migration and Development Patricia Fernandez-Kelly, and Rocio Suayfeta Saez, a member of the board of the Bucks County Chapter of the United Nations Association of the USA, Diversity and Inclusion Council.

“We will discuss practical implications of immigration policies, practices, and laws, providing up-to-date information for residents to protect themselves and advocate for themselves,” said Adam Bierman, who will be moderating the discussion.

“We want to be nonpartisan.

We want to hear pros and cons.”

Emphasizing the importance of ongoing communication in the community, Abizadeh stated, “All of the immigration policy changes we have seen over the last 20 months have been xenophobic, and some arguably have violated international human rights. With all of the political polarity it is important to remember that policy changes not only affect our broader society, but single individuals. Isolating ourselves and excluding others will have effects not only on population size, but also on our larger context economy, health care, and education.”

McNabb, speaking as a representative of the faith community, discussed his role on the panel. He mentioned that the scripture constantly tells of people

on the move, and the voice of God in scripture consistently calls on his people to welcome the stranger. “It says that if you welcome the stranger, you welcome Jesus himself.”

McNabb continued, “Immigrants are not a problem to be solved, but a people to be celebrated. We must create a more humane policy.

This event is happening because so many community partners within the faith community, local nonprofits, and community leaders have said this is important.

We’re hoping to educate the community at large about Continued on Next Page

what is happening and what we can do as citizens to impact change.”

McNabb, who was hired at Trinity Church a year ago “to deepen our commitment to those who experience mass incarceration and those who experience the immigration system,” pointed out the challenges for immigrants in the current political climate.

“There’s an effort to divide us,” he said. “We can rise up against that. We believe in a deeper truth, and we refuse to believe that despair is the answer.”

He urged the two sides in the immigration debate to reconcile their differences, “I ask people who agree with current immigration policy to tune in and listen with open hearts. If we can just find common ground, we can find a way forward that is best for our country, a way that welcomes immigrants and has a legal system in place that keeps communities safe.”

He added, “I believe in the goodness of immigrants to improve our nation, and I believe that we’re stronger together.”

Thursday’s panel discussion will be in English, with time for a discussion following commentary from the panelists. Spanish interpreters will be available if needed.

Question of the Week: “How has yoga benefited you?”

(Asked Sunday morning at Yoga on the Green, moved to lululemon athletica) (Photos by Erica M. Cardenas)

“I started practicing as a senior in high school, continued every day through college, and advanced my practice every day until I started teaching. Yoga has served as a form of community even when I was away from home, as well as given me a place to escape when life gets hectic.”

—Kristen Bryk, Newtown, Pa.

“Yoga has benefited me in ways of creating strength, stability, and spaciousness. Not just in my physical body, but most importantly, in my mind. As we live in a super busy and chaotic world, we need yoga more than ever; a deeper connection to self and community.

—Jen Steward, Memphis, Tenn.

“Yoga gives me ease and grace during times of chaos. It keeps me present. I’ve been instructing for over a year and this class marks my one-year anniversary of being a certified yoga instructor.”

—Nancy Foster, Princeton Junction

“Yoga keeps me grounded. It makes me a better mom, wife, daughter, and friend. When I am having a tough day, the answer is yoga!”

After less than two years as executive director of the Arts Council of Princeton, Taneshia Nash Laird has resigned the post effective at the end of this month.

Jim Levine will step down from his position as board president to serve as interim executive director beginning September 4, while a search is launched for Laird’s replacement. Maria Evans, the artistic director of the organization, will continue to oversee programming and education.

“Our programs are strong, our staff is strong,” Levine said on Monday. “We’re looking forward to another great year. I think our basic mission of building community through the arts will remain intact.”

Laird was the Arts Council’s third artistic director when she was hired in November 2016. Prior to that position, she was co-founder

908.359.8388

Route 206 • Belle Mead

and chief marketing officer of MIST Harlem, and was executive director of the Trenton Downtown Association. She is the owner of Legacy Business Advisors, a community development consultancy.

Laird succeeded Jeff Nathanson, who headed the Arts Council for 11 years.

The organization’s first executive director was Anne Reeves. The Arts Council is located at 102 Witherspoon Street, which was built in 1939 as part of the Works Progress Administration.

It was renovated and expanded by architect Michael Graves in 2004.

As they did when Nathanson departed in 2016, the Arts Council board will use an outside firm to help in the search for a new executive director.

“Ms. Laird has injected great energy and excitement to our programming during her tenure,” reads a statement from the board. “The Arts Council is grateful for her service to the organization and wishes her well in the future.”

including mobile, credit, and coins, at new single-space meters and multi-space pay stations. “The new parking system will result in easier payment and better management of parking capacity in Princeton’s central business district and surrounding neighborhoods,” according to a link on the town’s website.

The town has been working with consultants Nelson Nygaard and Dixon Resources Unlimited on the project.

Municipal code changes, including meter time limits,

meter hours of operation and loading zone metering, and distribution of meter zones, are also under discussion. Future phases of the project include digital online license plate-based parking permits, which would replace the current system using decals and hang tags.

Council members agreed that the proposed times for meters should be 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays, and 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Stockton said she would continue to update the governing body at future meetings on the progress of the parking plan.

The Rub and the Irony: The Democratic Party Needs to Be Responsive to Its Broad Coalition

To the Editor: This country was built on the backs of African Americans, Latinos, Asians, and other people of color. When Barack Obama was elected as the 44th president, it was a proud moment not just for African Americans, but for all Americans who understand that “we are a nation of immigrants.”

Donald Trump is the antithesis of Barack Obama. While Obama was the president for all Americans whether or not you agreed with his political views, policies, or decisions, Trump represents far fewer Americans, and has used those people to divide the country along racial lines, and turned back the hands of time.

While Obama was a statesman who reached out to Cuba, forged a nuclear deal with Iran, established affordable health care, and maintained America’s long-standing relationship with NATO and other alliances, Trump has been duped by Kim Jong-un, and outfoxed by Vladimir Putin.

He has been humiliated by porn stars, and bad actors.

America is said to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, but I don’t see that now. People of color are under assault, our leaders are cowardly and mute. Checks and balances are late arrivals. The president is committed to building walls instead of bridges. I wish I could say the future looks bright, but it doesn’t. Social justice has taken a backwards trend, and white nationalist rhetoric and actions are on the rise. America is not winning, it is not being made great again.

November’s election is the most important election in our lifetime. African Americans and other people of color will again be asked and expected to help turn Congress blue and put the president and his policies in check. Therein lies the Rub and the Irony.

It’s time for the Democratic Party to be responsive to its broad coalition. It’s time to demand a return on our investment. If the Democratic Party cannot place the following agenda items on their platform, on November 6 we should stay home and fry chicken: • Rewrite section 4B of the voting rights act to negate the discriminatory voting policies being passed by states throughout the country.

• Establish a U.S. Commission of Law Enforcement with a national data base on police shootings and prosecutorial oversight.

• Eliminate state and federal funding for private prisons that contribute to mass incarceration.

• Work to reverse Citizens United with a constitutional amendment and eliminate Super PACs. Give democracy back to “the people.”

• Establish responsible gun control legislation.

• Provide affordable access to health care.

• Remove all confederate statues and signage.

Let’s stop the Democrats from taking the black vote for granted. If all politics are local, and they are, throughout the U.S. black folk should be engaging their local representatives and the DNC by asking what have you done for “us” lately and will you commit to the above if “we” get out the vote and help turn congress blue in November. Wait patiently, but not long for an answer.

Personal Experiences Lead to Different View of Weapons Used Against Japan

To the Editor: With all due respect to Ms. [Niki} Van Aller [“Hinds Plaza Rally Commemorates Hiroshima,” page one, August 8, 2018) and her view of nuclear weapons, which I agree with regarding their possession and possible use by unstable leaders like those in Iran and North Korea, I have a slightly different view of the weapons used against Japan in World War II based upon two personal experiences. First is the fact that my father fought in the Pacific theatre, and would likely have been involved in an invasion of the Japanese mainland had that become necessary. It is highly likely that I owe my existence to those bombs, as do many of my generation.

Second is a conversation I had years ago with the mother of a business colleague of Japanese descent who lived in Japan during the war. I don’t recall how the subject of Hiroshima and Nagasaki came up, I certainly wouldn’t have raised it in such company, but she made a very insightful point about those events. When I tried to deflect the discussion by suggesting that the U.S. could have found a better way to use the bombs; perhaps making a giant crater in the middle of nowhere to show their potential, she replied “no” and offered the following: “The Japanese people were prepared to fight to the last man, woman, and child had the Emperor ordered it. The U.S. had to convince him that the war was unwinnable. Those bombs saved tens of thousands of Japanese lives.”

Expert estimates of the casualties on both sides resulting from an invasion of Japan, including Japanese civilians, tend to confirm her opinion. Numbers I’ve seen totaled upwards of one million. While a world free of nuclear weapons is certainly a worthy goal, as long as people like Kim Jong-un and Ayatollah Khamenei have them, the U.S. has no choice but to maintain its nuclear deterrent capability.

A Dinner Party for the Ages With Debussy, Dorothy Parker, and the Queen of Soul

T

he guest list for this week was set for Debussy and Dorothy Parker until the news of Aretha Franklin’s death. The upside of an open-ended column is that there’s seemingly room at the last minute even for someone of Aretha’s magnitude. It’s like a variation on the who-would-you-invite-to-a-dinner-party question people get asked every week in the New York Times Book Review. At this one, you can be sure the piano would get a work-out and the music would be amazing, but what would they talk about? One obvious thing the Queen of Soul and the Dark Lady of the Algonquin Round Table have in common is that both received lavish front-page Times obituaries, with last Friday’s edition running an inventory of Franklin’s “essential songs” not unlike the June 8, 1967 issue’s extensive sampler of Dorothy Parker’s “rapier wit.”

The most obvious thing Msr. Debussy and Mrs. Parker have in common is that both were born on August 22, he in 1862, she in 1893. This year is also the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death, March 25, 1918. His solo piano swan song “Elégie” was dated the day before he underwent surgery for cancer.

Debussy in Hollywood There’s material for a Dorothy Parker paragraph in the way Debussy’s music first caught my attention. Keep in mind that the merciless wit who allegedly claimed that Katherine Hepburn “runs the gamut of emotion from A to B” once compared a movie theatre to an “enlarged and magnificently decorated lethal chamber.” That said, what I’m talking about happens on the screen of a small Sony TV when Spencer Tracy walks into a darkened room in his bathrobe, opens the curtains on a tall moonlit window, pauses at a piano, and, while standing, begins to play “Claire de lune.” As he sits down at the keyboard to commune with Debussy’s hymn to moonlight, Katherine Hepburn, also in a bathrobe, appears on a moonlit stairway, breathlessly listening. It should have been laughable, but the sheer unexpectedness of it all and the hushed beauty of the music offset the Hollywood banality. As for who is actually playing the piano in this 1945 film (Without Love), IMDB lists only one Jakob Gimpel as “piano double,” a name Mrs. Parker might have had some fun with were she commenting on the spectacle of Tracy playing Debussy in solemn soft focus while Hepburn stands transfixed on a soundstage stairway.

Mrs. Parker has a history with the piece dating back to her 1921 review of the Broadway musical Snapshots, which singles out an “incredible burlesque” of “Clair de lune” that she declares “incredibly awful.” Later, in her round-up of the “highlights” of the 1920-21 Broadway season, she recalls the fountain in the “Clair de lune” travesty as being “faithfully copied” from the one that dentists in-

dicate when they say, “Now rinse, please.”

Being a Woman You can see Parker discovering herself in the theater reviews collected in Dorothy Parker: Complete Broadway 1918-1923 (iUniverse 2014). Only 24 when she took on the job for Vanity Fair, she soon developed a personal presence that gave her playfully intimate access to her readers.

It’s there in the April 1918 review of Oh, Lady! Lady!! when she writes, “If you ask me, I will look you fearlessly in the eye and tell you, in low, throbbing tones, that it has it all over any other musical comedy in town.” Reviewing The Love Mill in the same issue, she sarcastically portrays herself as “a tired business woman” who loves “my bit of vulgarity of an evening.” After watching Sinbad, she claims to take “a certain amount of civ ic pr ide in t h e f a c t t h at there is prob ably more nudity in our own Winter Garden than there is in any other place in the world,” and that there are times when she pines for the show to be over so she can “go out in the street and see a lot of women with clothes on.”

Six years later in Ainslee’s magazine, she’s vamping her male readers : “If I were to tell you the plot of the piece, in detail, you would feel that the only honorable thing for you to do would be to marry me.” It’s not just that she’s comfortable being a woman, she’s a woman with uncomfortable convictions and opinions she has the courage to express. In his introducion to Complete Broadway, Kevin C. Fitzpatrick notes that she was “an outspoken critic when it came to race and religion in Broadway productions. She abhorred the racial stereotypes prevalent in the era,” finding the actors’ portrayal of the Negro race in a blackface comedy “only as deep as a layer of burnt cork.”

Assumed Names The Frenchman and the lady from West End, N.J. share more than their birthdays.

Besides a tendency to write controversial reviews that could get the journals they worked for in trouble, both had a habit of using assumed names, Debussy’s being “Monsieur Croche” while Parker’s New Yorker persona was “Constant Reader.”

It’s possible to imagine her connecting with Debussy’s alter ego’s “silent smile that would begin at his nose and gradually spread out in wrinkles all over his face — as if someone had thrown a pebble into some calm pool. It would last for ages and was quite intolerable.”

Another passage in Debussy On Music (Knopf 1977) she might been sympathetic to was written under his own name on April 1, 1901, wherein he promises to give his “sincere impressions rather than ‘Criticism,’ which is all too often no more than a brilliant set of variations on the theme of ‘you didn’t do it as I would, that’s your mistake.’“ There’s something similarly Parkeresque in the passage suggesting that “grownups tend to forget that as children they were forbidden to open the insides of their dolls — a crime of h ig h t r e a son against the cause of mystery …. And yet they still insist on poking their aesthetic noses into things that don’t concer n them ! ” Af ter allowing some critics the benef it “of t h e i r complete ignorance,” Debussy s ke w e r s “ t h e m ore s pitef u l of them” who “g i ve r e i n to their malice” in order to “cling f r a n t i c a l l y to their own pitiful mediocrity.”

Happiness Is a Rubber Duck Constant Reader enjoys giving rein to her malice and does it so infectiously that even her victims might have laughed out loud — after picking themselves up off the floor, having been dealt “a prettily crossed right to the jaw” by a reviewer who refers to herself as “your girl-friend.” Take Yale Professor William Lyon Phelps, the author of a little book called Happiness (“an opus the size of a Christmas card”), which Parker finds “second only to a rubber duck as the ideal bathtub companion.

It may be held in the hand without causing muscular fatigue or nerve strain, it may be neatly balanced back of the faucets, and it may be read through before the water has cooled. And if it slips down the drain pipe, all right, it slips down the drain pipe.”

Parker’s most quoted New Yorker zinger isn’t her best or her funniest, and no one seems to know whether or not A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie the Pooh, laughed

or groaned after reading her October 20, 1928 review, the one that ends with a reference to Pooh’s use of the word “hummy,” which marks the place in The House at Pooh Corner, “my darlings, at which Tonstant Weader Fwowed up.”

The Glory of Aretha The year Dorothy Parker died, Aretha Franklin’s version of Otis Redding’s “Respect” was on its way to the top of the charts and into the consciousness of a time when blacks and women were no longer asking for respect but demanding it.

Mrs. Parker would have approved, having been engaged on both fronts long before the summer of 1967. She marched for the women’s right to vote in 1913, helped raise money for the defense of the Scottsboro boys in the 1930s, and after her death, her literary estate was left to Martin Luther King, and then to the NAACP. Her ashes are buried in a memorial garden at the organization’s headquarters in Baltimore.

Edmund Wilson is quoted at the conclusion of her New York Times obituary, observing that she “has put into what she has written a voice, a state of mind, an era, a few moments of human experience that nobody else has conveyed.”

Speaking of voice, state of mind, and moments of human experience, there’s the stirring spectacle of Aretha Franklin singing “You make me feel like a natural woman” less than three years ago to an audience at the Kennedy Center that included Barack and Michelle Obama, who were then still president and first lady. In the summer of 2018, the glory of Aretha pouring forth her soul “in such an ecstasy” with an African American president in office is as painful as it is beautiful.

Party Time ever mind. No use spoiling this transcendental dinner party, with everyone dressed to the nines.

We’ll borrow a moonlit window in New York or Paris or Detroit and a suitable piano as Debussy plays his most famous piece and the little woman Alexander Woollcott once described as “a blend of Lady Macbeth and Little Nell” tells us, “There are certain spells during certain evenings — cognac is best for a starter — when my English slips from me like the shucked skin of a snake, and I converse only in the elegant French tongue. But what French! O God, O Montreal, what French!” After she goes on to destroy a few lines from Paul Verlaine’s poem (“Au calme clair de lune triste et beau,/Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres”), Debussy will humor her with some galloping slapstick piano, perhaps “The Golliwog’s Cakewalk,” before Aretha stands up, sheds her mink, and brings everyone to tears singing “Amazing Grace.”

CINEMA REVIEW

Love Blossoms in Budapest Between Teacher and African Refugee

A Ice Cream On Palmer Square • 9 Hulfish St. • To 11pm

2018-19 SEASON

Sep

21

number of years ago, after his wife and daughters were slaughtered during a period of civil unrest in his African homeland, Wilson (Cake-Baly Marcelo) escaped to Hungary. The 50-something widower chose to seek political asylum in Budapest instead of continuing on to Western Europe like most of his fellow refugees.

He soon found a nice apartment and steady work as a supermarket security guard and liked living in the city.

However, the only thing standing in the way of his staying in Hungary permanently was that he repeatedly flunked the country’s tough citizenship test.

His boss Eva (Tunde Szalontay) did not want to lose her reliable “Employee of the Year,” and suggested that Wilson take history and language lessons from her sister Mari (Agnes Mahr), a teacher. However, sparks flew between Wilson and Mari, who was in an unhappy marriage. Their tutorial sessions soon turned into a whirlwind romance that included dancing, swimming, and

dining together.

Mari finally abandons her husband (Peter Barbinek) and son (Peter Sandor) and moves into Wilson’s flat.

However, she found that he has a much younger woman with an infant living with him. He explains that his relationship with Shirin (Arghavan Shekari), an Iranian refugee, is purely platonic, and that her newborn baby isn’t Wilson’s. Nevertheless, Mari isn’t comfortable with such an unorthodox arrangement.

The Citizen is a poignant, cross-cultural love story directed by Roland Vranik (Transmission). What makes the film unique is the advanced age of the protagonists, since most romance dramas usually involve considerably younger couples.

Excellent (HHHH). Unrated. In Hungarian with subtitles. Running time: 109 minutes. Production Studio: Popfilm. Distributor: ArtMattan Productions.

earning to swim at 2 or even younger?

Taking up chess or the piano at 4, cooking at 2, learning to trip the light fantastic as a toddler, “Parlez-vous Français?” for tots — and more.

It seems the younger, the better, these days!

Indeed, the opportunities for the youngest among us to participate in activities of almost every kind abound, and more and more often, kids are taking part in an ever-widening range of popular pastimes.

Of course, options increase once the children enter school, but the number of choices available for preschoolers continues to expand.

No Exception The Princeton area is no exception, with opportunities in all areas for kids of all ages.

For girls and boys who like to dance, The Dance Corner in West Windsor offers a variety of dance, from ballet to tap and hip hop, as well as tumbling.

“ We h av e T i n y To t s (Mommy and Me) programs for children as young as 18 months to 2½ years,” says Director Amy DeCesare.

At 3 and 4, they can also participate in Kindersteps and Creative Movement for boys and girls, and from ages 3 to 5, in Tiny Tumblers.

I n add it ion to le ar n ing specific new dance or tumbling skills, The Dance Corner programs offer many other benefits, points out DeCesare. “The children learn to share, to take turns, to take instruction from another adult, and dance increases their motor skills and coordination.”

Par ticipating in the classes and learning to dance has long-range consequences, she adds. “Our teachers and staff influence our students’ future far beyond just what we will observe in our classrooms and in our public performances. We must strive to assure that while we are building a passion for dance, we are also

building self-esteem and confidence in all of our dancers. That is our primary objective. Whatever the aspiration of the student, we strive to teach in a positive and nurturing environment.”

Shared Experiences In addition, she points out the opportunities for making new friends. “The Dance Corner community c ro s s e s m u n i cip a l a n d school district borders, allowing our dancers to build lasting friendships with like-minded peers.

Through these shared experiences with others, our students develop confidence, maturity, and independence.”

Each June, an annual recital is held with optional student participation.

“This is a very low key, positive, fun-fllled experience for the dancers,” says D eCes are. “Ins t r uc tors Miss Roni, Miss Amy, and the teaching staff are on stage to help guide younger students through their routines, if needed.”

In addition, The Dance Corner offers birthday parties for the children and a summer program. Being part of the community is an important part of their concept points out DeCesare. The students often per for m at f u ndraising events and share their talents at senior centers and nursing homes.

In its 17 years of operation, The Dance Corner has introduced the pleasures of dance to thousands of students, from the ver y youngest to mature adults.

Many of the students have prog res s ed f rom “Tiny Tots” to become accomplished dancers. Both students and their parents are enthusiastic about The Dance Corner.

“Knowing nothing about dance, I walked into The Dance Corner seven years ago with twin 3-year-olds and a toddler,” notes an area parent. “Today, we are proud members of The Dance Corner Family — from set moving and backstage fun during the shows to the waiting room full of parents who have become friends.

sports and other activities.

A global movement, Special Olympics reaches 5.7 million Special Olympics athletes and Unified Sports teams in 172 countries.

According to its mission statement, Special Olympics “provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giv ing them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, exper ience joy, and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their fam ilies, ot her Special Olympics athletes, and the community.”

Established 50 years ago

by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, it serves athletes with intellectual disabilities. According to the Special Olympics definition,“Intellectual disability is a term used to describe a disability characterized by certain limitations in cognitive functioning and skills. These limitations can affect an individual’s communication, social, and self-care skills, and can vary widely from person to person. Intellectual disability is the most common developmental disability.”

Physical Challenges To be eligible to participate in Special Olympics sports, athletes must be at least 8-years-old and identified by an agency or professional as having

one of the following conditions: ”intellectual disability; cognitive delay as determined by standard measures such as intellectual quotient ( IQ ) or other accepted measures; or closely related developmental disability.”

Jeremy Davis, director of marketing and communications at Special Olympics New Jersey adds that a certain flexibility is available regarding the type of disability. “We see athletes who have physical challenges as well. We create various divisions based on athlete skill level, and we do have divisions for those athletes who need assistance to per for m some physical movements. We make every effort to be as Continued on Next Page

inclusive as possible.”

Special Olympics New Jersey began formal programming in 1969, and currently serves more than 24,000 athletes throughout the state. All programs are free to registered athletes, including insurance, facilities, equipment, uniforms, housing, and meals for events, awards, sports, education, and more.

In addition, the organization offers free programs and activities at the Special Olympics New Jersey Sports Complex in Lawrenceville.

All ages have the opportunity to participate in Special Olympics New Jersey, explains Dav is. “Young athletes is a program for 2- to 7-year-olds, and is an inclusive sports play program that prepares them for future par ticipation in sports while improving gross motor, social, and cognitive skills. It’s play with a purpose!”

“Athletes must be 8 years old to begin participation at the competition level.

Such spor ts as cycling, flag football, soccer, basketball, bowling, softball, g y m nast ics, sw im m ing, tennis, track and field, skiing, and ice skating are

just some of those available.”

Young Ages The benefits of participating at young ages are many, points out Davis.

“Athletes not only begin learning sports skills, but we also focus on the overall health of our athletes, and incorporate social as well as leadership skills.”

Both team and individual sports offer opportunities for such skills, he continues. “While individual sports allow athletes to focus on their own abilities as they relate to the skills necessary to play certain sports, team sports allow athletes to be a part of the Continued on Next Page

“All the individuals who p a r t i c i p a te i n S p e c i a l Olympics take away something different. Whether it be social or learning new skills, we incorporate a sense of pride while always striving to have fun.”

Special Olympics New Jersey has many different divisions, he adds, some co-ed, others exclusively male or female. The programs are dedicated to bringing pride into the lives of all involved.

“Every day, we make a difference in the lives of

our athletes, families, and the communities in which they live.”

As its mission statement reports, “Not only is training and competition provided in 24 spor ts, but S p e cia l Oly mpi c s Ne w Jersey also offers health, wellness, athletic leadership, and unified programs initiatives. Through sports training and competition, people with intellectual disabilities benefit physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually; families ar e s t r e n g t h e n e d, a n d the community-at-large, through participation and observation, is united in understanding individuals with intellectual disabilities in an environment of e q u a l i t y, r e s p e c t , a n d acceptance.”

Don’t Forget The Fun In an increasingly structured environment for children today, whatever their age, experts say it is important that they can still have fun and be able to enjoy their activity or sport in a non-stressful setting.

W h ile lear n ing to do their best and developing pride in their accomplishments, they should not be over-programmed. As one mother remarked, “It is important for children to play, to run around, and feel free. We must balance the structure with a sense of freedom that encourages creativity, self-expression, and resourcefulness — all the while having fun!”

Benefits of Later Start Time for High Schools Are Recognized by More School Systems

Late to school again.

Poor attention and concentration.

Actually falling asleep in class. he above are daily occurrences experienced by many American high school students. The early start in numerous schools across the country — some as early as 7 a.m. — are a problem for many teens, who typically are not alert and ready to function at a high level in the very early morning.

“As a consequence of puberty, teenagers are biologically driven to have later sleep and wake-up times than younger children,” reports the Society of Behavioral Medicine.

When students do not get enough sleep, it can have a long-term impact on their health, notes The California Academy of Sciences. Citing a poll by the National Sleep Foundation reporting that

T

28 percent of teenagers have fallen asleep in class at least once due to a lack of sleep, it notes, “Negative effects of sleep loss include impairments in mood, attention, memory, behavior, and executive function. In addition, a lack of sleep may lead to an increase in caffeine use to counter the effects of drowsiness. Finally, this study found that sleep-deprived teens are at a higher risk of car accidents.”

Scientific Studies Adds the Society of Behavioral Medicine, “Most middle and high schools in the United States start well before 8:30 a.m., which is too early to accommodate this shift in sleep patterns, and contributes to a nation of chronically sleepdeprived students. Inadequate sleep results in compromised physical health, emotional and behavioral problems, and reduced ability to perform and learn.”

Research, including many scientific studies, has shown that a later morning school start is important. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine, The American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association have recommended that middle and high schools start classes at 8:30 a.m.

According to the Society of Behavioral Medicine, however, only about 15 percent of U.S. public high schools start at 8:30 or later. For decades, starting school after 8:30 has been the standard in many countries, such as Finland, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and England, “all of which outperform the U.S. in international student achievement tests,” according to studies cited by the Society of Behavioral Medicine.

In addition, the organization points out that out of 50 countries, American children ranked worst regarding

sleep deprivation.

In response to these sleeprelated problems and to the recommendations of the various medical organizations, Princeton area schools have been adjusting the start time for high school students.

In September, Princeton High School will begin classes at 8:20 a.m., which is 30 minutes later than in previous years. Classes will now end at 3:21 in the afternoon.

Later Start “I am very proud of our district’s commitment to healthy, high-level learning for students, which was the impetus for making the shift to a later start time,” says Princeton Public Schools Superintendent Steve Cochrane.

“The science is clear. Aligning the schedule of our building with the biology of our students’ brains improves learning. Adolescent brains are different. Adolescents don’t fall asleep before 10:45 p.m., and their brains don’t come out of sleep mode until after 8 a.m. Shifting to a later start time allows them to be

learning at a time when their brains are more fully awake.

The benefits are in the areas of physical and emotional wellness. The research also supports improved learning, improved attendance, and a reduction in car accidents.

“Shifting to a later start time also improves physical and emotional wellness,” he continues. “We learned last year in a survey of our high school students that they were getting an average of only six to six and a half hours of sleep a night. The CDC (Centers For Disease Control) and the American Association of Pediatrics recommend eight to 10 hours.

This chronic sleep loss negatively affects our students’ minds, bodies, and emotions.

When schools shift to a later start time, adolescents still go to bed at the same time, but they get up later, and they get more sleep.”

Cochrane expects the students to be pleased with the new time schedule. “I believe almost all adolescents welcome the opportunity to sleep a bit longer, and our students

are no exception. They will like the later start to the day.

I can’t say that all of them will immediately embrace the corresponding later end to the day, particularly those with extensive after-school activities. There will be an adjustment as we condense our athletic practices, for example, and continue to make reductions in the amount of homework.

“While there may not be negatives, there are challenges associated with moving to a later start time. One challenge is the cost of transportation. Moving to a later start time meant that we could no longer use the same buses and drivers to transport both our high school and elementary students. We incurred an increased cost to add more bus routes. Fortunately, we were able to recoup those costs by using our own drivers and buses for other routes that were previously outsourced to contractors.

“Another challenge is with athletics,” he adds. “While we would welcome other high schools moving to a later start and end time, currently other schools are dismissing earlier. We have worked with the athletic directors for the other high schools we play to ensure games are scheduled later. We have very much appreciated their cooperation.”

Sleep Deprivation Solebury School, an independent co-ed boarding and day school (grades eight through 12) has embraced a later start time since 2016.

“We launched a new daily schedule to address teen sleep deprivation and to reduce stress,” says Solebury Director of Marketing Holly Victor.

“As recommended by the American Association of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and the Centers for Disease Control, classes at Solebury begin at 8:30 a.m. four days a week. On Wednesdays, classes start at 9 a.m.

A growing body of research has shown that teenagers are chronically sleep-deprived, due to circadian rhythms that biologically keep them up later at night and put them at a disadvantage first thing in the morning.”

Schools with a later start time are seeing positive results, with happier, well-rested students, who arrive at school ready to face the day, adds Victor. “In a survey last year of Solebury students, almost 75 percent report being able to sleep later and/or eat breakfast more often than last year. Over half say that they feel less stress.”

“We instituted the new schedule because we felt it was the right thing to do for the mental and physical health of our students,” notes Director of Studies Rick Tony. “Now we are seeing the results. Not only do our students benefit from the later start time, but we also reduced the number of classes per day so that homework loads are more manageable, Continued on Next Page

and class discussions can dive deeper into the subject.

“Each class meets for 90 minutes, during which teachers can mix and match activities, conduct experiments, and give students the time they need to digest material. In conjunction with the later start time, this

has significantly eased the stress on our students while maintaining academic rigor.”

By all accounts, the change in start time has been a positive experience at Solebury despite some accompanying adjustments. For example, transportation can create difficulties, points out Holly Victor.

lenge, as many Solebury students rely on public school bus transportation, which runs on an early schedule.

However, Solebury offers breakfast, starting at 7:30 a.m., so students who need to arrive early can have a hot meal, and get a head start on their day. Many students enjoy this time to catch up with classmates and teachers, or put the finishing touches on a paper.”

Overall, reports of schools embarking on the later start indicate that the benefits to good health, general wellbeing, improved attendance, and academic achievement have outweighed later end of the day times and challenges to sports, extra-curricular activities, and transportation.

As Cochrane notes, “A 2017 Brookings Institution report summarized it up nicely: ‘There are few “quick wins” in education when it comes to boosting learning at very low cost, but paying attention to and scheduling school start times in line with human biology is one of them.’”

“We are focused on many other ways of enhancing the learning and lowering the stress levels of our students, but the shift to a later start time is a proven and important one.”

After Stunning Run to NCAA Quarters Last Fall, No. 13 PU Women’s Soccer Has Target on Its Back

S

parked by an uncommon competitive fire, the Princeton University women’s soccer defeated Monmouth, N.C. State, and perennial powerhouse North Carolina in the NCAA tournament last fall as it surged to national quarterfinals.

As Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll looks ahead to the 2018 campaign, he is hoping that his squad, which starts the season ranked 13th nationally, can rekindle that intensity.

“We have got the national ranking to start the season; it is one of those things you either embrace or fear,” said Driscoll, whose squad lost to UCLA 3-1 in the NCAA quarters to end the fall at 16-3-1. “I think the team is embracing what happened last year and learning from that experience.”

Driscoll, for his part, is embracing a coaching challenge as he deals with roster turnover.

“We are a completely

GOOD SHEPPARD: Princeton University women’s soccer player Olivia Sheppard goes after the ball in a game last year.

different team; that is the way it is every year,” said Driscoll, who is entering his fourth season at the helm of the Tigers and has guided Princeton to a 40-115 mark over his first three campaigns.

“No two teams have the same personality or the same character. That is the beauty of coaching: every new team is a puzzle and you you have to figure out how the pieces fit.”

The Tigers boast some valuable pieces at forward in senior Mimi Asom (10 goals, 3 assists in 2017), junior Abby Givens (12 goals, 6 assists), and junior Courtney O’Brien (9 goals, 3 assists).

“Any time you have kids who are used to putting the ball in the back of the net it is good,” said Driscoll.

“Mimi is exceptionally strong and very, very quick; she can play with her back to the goal. Courtney is exceptional in the air and can put her body in any sort of position to score goals. Abby is more of a slashing player who is very good in one-versus-one situations as well as on her runs. They all score goals in different ways so they complement each other really well.”

As for the Princeton midfield, Driscoll is still assessing which players will complement each other the best in that spot.

“We are trying to figure out if we are going to play with four or three in the midfield,” said Driscoll.

“We have Tomi Kennedy (4 assists) who is returning along with Sophia Gulati.

Olivia Sheppard (1 assist) is both a center back and a center midfielder. We have two freshmen who are really good in midfield as well; we have some returners who didn’t play as much last year

due to sheer numbers who have improved quite a bit.”

Having lost three key performers along the back line in Natalie Larkin, Mikaela Symanovich, and Katie Pratt-Thompson to graduation, the Tiger defense will have a new look with sophomore Lucy Rickerson and junior Sheppard leading the way.

“Lucy is one of our top backs and Olivia played a lot in the midfield last year because of the stability we had in the back, but she can also play in there,” said Driscoll.

“Right now we are trying to sort out what the best group of backs are. We are looking at players who played in the back and we are looking at a lot of players who never played back there before who have good tendencies, kind of like Mikaela. She was converted to a back and had a great career.”

In goal, junior Natalie Grossi, a two-year starter who had a goals against average of 0.57 in 2017 with 11 shutouts, gives the Tigers stability in the net.

“She is going to have to continue to work really, really hard; it is still very much a competition,” said Driscoll, noting that senior Noelani Kong-Johnson, junior Kelli Calhoun, and freshman Grace Barbara, a former Princeton Day School standout, are also in the mix.

“Everybody is doing well with the goalkeeping. Noelani has done a good job and Grace has done a good

job as a freshman. Kelli has done well in the times she has been in goal. Natalie has a lot of experience. It is healthy competition, which is what I want.”

Opening the 2018 season with games at the University of New Hampshire (2-0) on August 24 and at Boston University (0-2) on August 26 will give the Tigers plenty of tough competition.

“I think they are both going to be very good games.

New Hampshire is coming off two overtime wins and is always very organized defensively,” said Driscoll.

“Against Boston, you are going to play against a legend in Nancy Feldman, one of the all time great coaches in the game and one of my mentors. If you look at what they do every year, they play the most competitive nonconference schedule. Their slate of games is unbelievable. We are their opening game at home; it is a very tough team to beat. I think it is a very tricky weekend up there.”

In Driscoll’s view, the Tigers have a talent level that will make them tough to beat.

“I do like our depth, I do like the quality of our players,” said Driscoll, noting that the squad’s freshmen group excelled in the team’s opening scrimmages last weekend.

“I like our skill set. You are going to see different faces in different places. That is part of the fun of the job,

trying to figure out who goes where. Sometimes you think a player will do really well in a position and you realize after the fact that they are better suited elsewhere. We have a lot of question marks, but not in terms of talent. It is, how do you get the players on the field, how do you make it so you can rotate players easily, how do you make sure you build the system so it satisfies the most players? As always, you have to remain healthy.”

In the end, Princeton’s success this fall will come down whether its players can exhibit the fiery spirit that carried it to the NCAA quarters a year ago.

“We have to be maintaining the level of energy and enthusiasm that recognizes that we are going to be everybody’s biggest game this season,” said Driscoll.

“You have a bull’s eye on your back and how you handle that dictates a lot of seasons. It is going to be more of the intangibles, the grit, desire, and hunger that we were so good with last year.

There was never a question of whether we would put forth the effort. The question is would the ball bounce in our direction on certain occasions, but the relentless energy level last year and the grit that we showed and the willingness to grind is what made us so successful. We are just as talented this year; we will find out if we have that willingness to grind through games.”

Grace Barbara knew before entering high school that she would have plenty of options when it came to playing soccer in college.

“My recruiting process really started in 8th grade; I was getting pressured by a lot of D-I schools to commit in my freshman year,” said Barbara, who starred at goalie from day one when she joined the Princeton Day School girls’ soccer team as a freshman in 2014. “A lot of kids these days are trying to jump on their first offer.”

Barbara, though, didn’t jump at those offers.

“Princeton has always been my dream and I wanted to hold off to see if it would be interested in me,” said Barbara, who was considering other Ivy League schools and was getting pursued by Big 10 and ACC programs.

That patience paid off as Barbara ultimately committed in May, 2016 during the spring of her sophomore year at PDS to attend Princeton University and join its women’s soccer team.

“I wanted to go to an institution that could help me both academically and athletically; somewhere where I would fit in, and I knew that would be Ivy League, specifically Princeton,” said Barbara. “My process could have ended my freshman year, but I decided to hold off and really make it the best decision for me.”

Last week, Barbara started preseason training for the Tigers as they prepare to open their 2018 season

with a game at New Hampshire on August 24.

Spending time at Princeton this summer has reinforced Barbara’s sense that she made the right college decision.

“I love it here, I would not want to be at any other place. I am truly happy when I am on campus,” said Barbara.

“It humbles me; it really makes me realize how lucky and privileged I am to be able to attend such an academic and athletic centric institution. To be playing sports here is really amazing.”

Barbara was very happy with her PDS experience.

“PDS definitely gave me a lot of confidence and the oppor tunit y to fill some big shoes and step up and mature very quickly,” said Barbara, who was a threetime All-Prep selection as she helped the Panthers win three straight Prep B titles.

“That is what I feel high school and college soccer does; it throws you into to an environment in which you are playing against kids who could be four years older than yourself.”

Displaying her maturity, Barbara came up big in the 2016 season as PDS went 17-1-4, winning the Prep B crown and making it to the Mercer County Tournament title game.

“My junior season was really an eye-opening experience for me,” said Barbara.

“Even though I was not a captain, I stepped into a

big leadership role when we beat Pennington on penalty kicks (in the MCT semis).

A lot of records were broken, it was 17 shutouts in 22 games.”

In club soccer, Barbara assumed a big role for her Player Development Academy (PDA), helping it win the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL) U16 national championship in the summer of 2016.

“The thing about PDA is that everyone shared a common goal; we were all ready to take that next step to college soccer,” said Barbara, who was not allowed to play her senior season at PDS due to academy system rules promulgated by the U.S. Soccer Federation that prevent players from competing for both high school and club programs.

“The club as a whole is very centric of pushing players but on my team. In particular, all of us were really pushing towards college soccer. My entire team ended up going D-I and a lot of us went high level D-I, whether Ivy League or ACC.” Not playing for PDS last fall gave Barbara the opportunity to head over to the Roberts Stadium to follow her future team as Princeton won the 2017 Ivy League title and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.

“I joked that they are going to be tired of me before I even start; I attended every home game and I talked to the coaches a ton,” said Barbara.

“I pass them in Princeton all of the time and they already know who I am. It is

I am going to have 25 best friends when I get on campus.”

Playing at Pr inceton also gives Barbara’s top supporters, her parents, the chance to see her in college.

“I am an only child and my family has been at every single game ever since I started soccer,” said Barbara, a native of Yardley, Pa. “My parents have always been on the sidelines cheering me on. They are my whole support system and I couldn’t go too far away from them. I still wanted them to hold my hand a little

bit at the beginning of my collegiate career and be able to see the woman that I have become.”

A s Barbara star ts her Tiger career, she is amenable to playing a supportive role at first.

“I am a competitive player. I would love to be on the field, but that is not everything for me,” said Barbara.

“I just want to contribute to the team in any way that I can. I definitely want to come into the goalkeeping corps where there will be four of us, including myself, and I want to push them but equally I want to learn from them. I am excited to continue to work with Jami

Kranich, who is our assistant coach and goalkeeper coach who played at Villanova and in the NWSL (National Women’s Soccer League) for the Boston Breakers.”

Having displayed patience in her recruiting process, Barbara is chomping at the bit to finally get in action for Princeton.

“I am super excited, I have been waiting for this for two years now,” said Barbara.

“The coaches have invested a lot of their time and energy on me; it is my time to return that to them and help them build their program. Hopefully this year, we make it to the final four.”

Building on Solid Debut for PU Men’s Lax, Song Competed for China at World Tourney Andrew Song proved that he could excel on the big stage as the Princeton University men’s lacrosse team battled University of Virginia this past February.

In the second game of his college career, Tiger freshman longstick midfielder Song contributed one goal, t hree ground balls, t wo caused turnovers and two face-off wins to go along with some spirited defense against a high-powered Cavalier attack in an 18-15 loss.

“That was a really fun game, I just wanted to do all that I could to help the team,” said Song, a 5’10, 185-pound native of Canton, Mass. “I didn’t think about my stats.”

Song kept helping the Tigers more and more as the season progressed, earning honorable mention All-Ivy League recognition, finishing second on the team with 14 caused turnovers and 48 ground balls.

“In t he beginning you feel like you are a freshman, you are always trying

to prove and validate yourself,” said Song, reflecting on his progress this spring, which helped the Tigers end the season with a five-game winning streak as they went 8-5. “Once you settle into a role and get a feel for the game, you feel like ‘I can do this.’”

This summer, Song took a key role on a bigger stage, starring for the Chinese National Team at the FIL (Federation of International Lacrosse) World Championships in Netanya, Israel.

After making an appearance for China’s U-19 squad last fall, Song tried out for the senior team and was selected as one of its nonpasspor t players, having grown up in the U.S. after his parents moved here from China.

Song’s exposure to both cultures helped him keep the Chines team on the same page, no matter who was on the field.

speaking Chinese and there will be times when there are guys who mostly understand English,” said Song, noting that the squad included players born in China who came to the U.S. to play in prep school or college and Chinese natives who came through the country’s sports university system.

“I prefer to use Chinese in general. Most people are fluent in Chinese; it is almost better that way so they have a quick reaction.”

Before heading to Israel, Song and his teammates got the chance to bond and promote the game.

“We spent 10 days in China in three different cities; that was to practice and grow as a team but also another goal was to the grow the game and showcase,” said Song.

“We went to dif ferent places and we played in a lot of venues because a lot of people in China don’t know what lacrosse is about.”

Upon arriving at the competition, Song enjoyed the feel around the venue.

“The field at Wingate, which is where most of the games were played, had a player center that had a lot of food and trading going on,” recalled Song.

“There were always people there watching your games; the fields were very close to each other. It had the feel of a summer lacrosse tourna-

Hunting is generally permitted every day starting one half hour before sunrise and ending one half hour after sunset, except for Saturdays, when no hunting is allowed between 9 am and 3 pm; Sundays, when no hunting is allowed unless otherwise authorized by the State; and Christmas Day. In addition, no hunting is allowed other than from an elevated stand, or within 20 yards of any road or trail, and no hunting is allowed with a firearm.

Warning signs will be posted at the entrances to each of the properties that will be hunted.

All State and local regulations pertaining to parks and to hunting will remain in full force and effect and will be enforced by the Police Department of the Municipality of Princeton.

Although China ended up placing 42nd of 46 teams in the competition going 2-5 overall, Song credited the squad with developing a closeness as it went through the ups and downs of the tournament.

“I am proud of all the guys

on our team; we came from a lot of different backgrounds and experiences and in the end, everybody just pulled together,” said Song.

“No matter what, I don’t think anybody on our team really gave up, which I would take as highly positive. Even though there were a lot of times when people could have checked out, nobody really did and I was really proud of that.”

Song honed his defensive and leadership skills in Israel. “I would usually just cover the other team’s best guy, wherever he was,” said Song, who tallied two goals and two assists with 37 ground balls in the competition.

“I played a lot of longstick; I played close defense. I grew the most in the regard of trying to keep the team together and keeping everybody motivated. I was one of the few guys that understood both languages. I was trying to set an example of getting out there and playing with no fear and hopefully the team would follow.”

Playing foes from around the globe was a highlight of the experience for Song.

“The level of respect after the games between teams was pretty unique because we always shook hands and gave each other little gifts and souvenirs,” said Song.

“We would take a team photo together. It shows how many people across the whole world really care about lacrosse. It was unique to see that.”

In Song’s view, his exposure to the international game has sharpened his focus as he heads into his sophomore year at Princeton.

“I just want to work as hard as I can; I am continuing to work on my game, both athletically and mentally,” said Song.

“I think the mental aspect of it is what makes lacrosse so unique, I am just continuing to understand the game better. As a team, we want to continue where we left off. We had a slow start but then we beat some really good teams toward the end.

It left a bitter taste in our mouth that we weren’t playing some more.”

PU Football Alum Reid Signs with Cowboys

Former Princeton University football star defensive lineman Caraun Reid ’13 has signed a contract with the Dallas Cowboys.

Reid, a co-captain of the 2013 Ivy League champion Tigers, has dealt with backto-back injury-plagued seasons. He has spent time with four different franchises during that span, including Detroit, which originally selected Reid in the 2014 NFL Draft. Reid also spent time with Washington and Indianapolis prior to Monday’s signing in Dallas, where he will be playing former P r i nce ton s t a ndout a nd Cowboys head coach Jason Garett ’89.

The 6’2, 302-pound native of the Bronx, N.Y. has 36 tackles and three sacks during his career, and he also became the first Princeton football player in 30 years to score a touchdown in the NFL when he did so on a 27-yard fumble return against Seattle in 2015. He added another on a 61-yard fumble return in 2016 with San Diego.

Reid became Princeton’s first t wo -time first-team All-America honoree in 20 years when he led the 2013 Tigers to the Ivy League championship. A finalist for the Bushnell Cup, Reid earned three straight firstteam All-Ivy League honors; he is only the fourth player in Princeton history to earn the honor three times.

Two other members of that Ivy championship team are on NFL rosters currently. Seth DeValve ’14, a fourth-round selection of the Cleveland Browns in the 2015 NFL Draft, has 43 receptions and three touchdowns over the first two years of his career, but he has missed both of Cleveland’s preseason games with a quad injury. Chad Kanoff ‘18, the Bushnell Cup winner who led Princeton to the 2016 Ivy title and then rewrote the Princeton record book during his 2017 Bushnell Cup season, is 8-for-15 for 109 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions with the Arizona Cardinals.

New York State Public High School Athletic Association Scholar-Athlete and was the 2018 Ward Melville’s Most Athletic Senior Female Athlete.

The first training weekend for the team will be held October 5-8 at the Team USA Fall Classic in conjunction with the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Senior Teams at US Lacrosse.

The 2019 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women’s U19 World Championship will be held Aug. 1-10, 2019 in Peterborough, Canada. The U.S. has won four of the six previous FIL Women’s U19 championships held (1999, 2003, 2007, 2011).

PU Women’s Lax Freshman Named to U.S. U19 Team Princeton Softball Shannon Berry, an incom- Adds Murray to Staff ing freshman on the Princeton women’s lacrosse team, has been named to the 2019 U.S. Women’s U19 National Team.

Berry is one of 36 players that was selected for the training team from a pool of 110 players that participated in a three-day tryout conducted this past Sunday at US Lacrosse Headquarters. More than 500 players applied for the tryouts.

A 2018 Under Armour AllAmerica and all-academic, Berry won the Under Armour Underclass Championship as a three-time member of Team Long Island in 2017. She is ranked 28th by Inside Lacrosse for Class of 2018 recruits. Berry played three years on the varsity team at Ward Melville in Setauket, N.Y., and was a senior captain.

Megan Murray, a former Cor nell s tandout and a three-time All-Ivy League outfielder, has joined the Princeton University softball team as an assistant coach, the program said last week.

Murray’s duties will include assisting with hitting, outfield, infield, recruiting, and camps. A 2018 Cornell graduate from the university’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Murray earned first-team AllIvy honors as a freshman in 2015 and as a senior in 2018 with second-team recognition in 2017.

The Alfred, N.Y. native was a co-captain as a senior and hit .409 for the season, good for fourth in the Ivy and 48th in Division I. Murray was also 12th nationally in doubles per game and fourth-toughest to strike out, with one strikeout in ever y 45.7 at-bats. She

Tiger Women’s Hockey Players Make Canada Development Squad

Incoming Princeton Univer sit y wom en’s hockey freshmen players Maggie Connors and Sarah Fillier competed for Canada at the 2018-19 National Women’s Development Team Series against the USA last week.

“They have both shown tremendous skill and maturity at such young ages,” said Princeton women’s head coach Cara Morey, who is involved with the Canadian national program. “We are so excited to have them represent Princeton in this event and even more excited to get them on Hobey Baker Rink with our current Tigers. The future of our program looks promising and we can’t wait to get started with the 2018-19 season.”

T he three - game ser ies took place from August 1619 at the Markin MacPhail Centre in Calgary. Fillier picked up an assist in the competition as Canada went 0-3.

The Princeton women’s hockey 2018-19 season begins on October 19 with the opener of a two-game set at Wisconsin.

After Rocky Start to Penn Men’s Track Career PHS Alum Roth Primed for Sophomore Year Alex Roth enjoyed a dominant senior season in 201617, setting the pace for the Princeton High boys’ cross country and track programs.

In the fall, Roth placed first in the county cross country meet, fourth at the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional meet, and second at the state Group 4 meet as the Little Tigers finished first in the team standings at each competition. He ended the historic campaign by helping PHS win the Meet of Champions (MOC) for the first time in school history as he placed third individually.

O ver t he w inter, Rot h placed first in the 3,200 at the indoor county, sectional, and group meets and second at the MOC. Roth earned more titles in the spring, finishing first in the 3,200 at the outdoor county and sectional meets.

As he looked to compete at the college level, Roth decided that attending the University of Pennsylvania and competing for its men’s cross countr y and track teams would put him on the road to more championship runs.

“On my official visit to Penn, it felt like I clicked well with them; they seemed like the kind of guys that had the motivation to go for it,” said Roth, who had also considered Columbia and Cornell.

“They had a championship mentality that I was looking for in a team.”

A lthough things didn’t click as well in his freshman season for the Quakers as Roth would have hoped, he gained some valuable experience along the way.

“It was a big adjustment; I had a pretty rough freshman cross country season,” said Roth, who ran in four meets in the fall season.

“My for m w as n’t t hat good. I am not sure what exactly what it was, it could have been an iron deficiency. There are a lot of adjustments to be made, like running with a new group of people, handling the work load of school, living away from home. It took some adjusting throughout the year.

I kind of figured it out.”

Having worked through those adjustments, Roth returned to Penn last week ready to hit his stride for his sophomore campaign.

“The main focus is being a factor and being able to help the team,” said Roth.

“I would like to be able to contribute on our top seven for cross and be someone who can score, indoors and outdoors. Instead of just going to the conference meet, it is being able to compete, not being on the outside like I was.”

In assessing his freshman year, Roth started contributing more during the winter season.

“I ran a couple of good races indoors. Not all of them were good, but there were a handful of good ones.” Roth, who took third in the mile at the Princeton Invitational, placed ninth in the 5,000 at the Dr. Sander Invitational in January in New York City, and came in 11th in the 3,000 at the Penn 8-Team Select in Staten Island, N.Y. “I ran

a 3k at Ocean Breeze that helped me feel like I had my feet back under me and that I was back to my old self.”

Ending his debut campaign on a high note, Roth placed ninth in the 10,000-meter run at the Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships this past May. “It was cool because it was a lit tle bit tactical ; pace was swinging back and forth with a couple of fast laps and then it would slow down,” recalled Roth, who clocked a time of 30:33.10 as Penn placed second in the meet to Princeton.

“It was a little bit physical, so I also had to manage my space a little bit and try not to fall. There was a fall right in front of me. I definitely feel like I learned a lot. I wasn’t quite able to finish with the competitors who were able to place, but I felt I was there for most of it. My goal was to be able to race with some good guys and I feel like I did a good job with that, and that was exciting for me.”

For Roth, that Heps race gave him a major boost of confidence. “It showed me the next logical step; I was knocking on the door, being competitive,” said Roth.

“The next step is to actually run with those guys.

That was very very important, especially for this fall in cross country. Being able

to compete there would help our team eventually win a Heps title.”

In order to take things to a higher level, Roth headed west after school ended.

“I have been in Colorado for most of the summer, it has been good,” said Roth, who was based in Granby, which sits at an altitude of approximately 8,000 feet, and dealt with some nagging injuries as he fine-tuned his training.

“It is a new experience. It has had its adjustments. I feel like I am in good shape even though I haven’t been able to run as much as I would like.”

Looking ahead to his second college campaign, Roth is determined to keep adjusting and moving forward.

“I have competed against good runners before; there are a lot of things to learn in terms of competing against this group of people,” said Roth.

“As a competitor who has competed for a long time, I feel like I can make that adjustment pretty quickly. I may not be able to compete and score right away, but as long as I am learning from each race experience and learning how to compete in the league, I will feel that the year is a success.”

Former Princeton High standout Roth ended his freshman campaign by taking ninth in the 10,000-meter run at the Ivy League Outdoor Heptagonal Championships this past May. Last week, he returned to Penn to begin preseason practice for his sophomore cross country season.

Obituaries Alfred R. Perna Alfred R. Perna, 81, of Lawrenceville, passed away on Friday, August 10, 2018, at Princeton Care Center, Princeton.

Born on October 12, 1936 in Pettoranello Di Molise, Italy, Alfred grew up in Italy during World War II. In 1951 Alfred immigrated to the United States to join his father and brother in Princeton, becoming a citizen in 1958. From 1954 to 1962 Alfred served in the Army National Guard as part of 53rd Armor. On October 29, 1960 Alfred married Irene L Mazur. He also began work at RCA Laboratories as a plumber in 1960 and would remain with RCA for over 15 years, developing many lifelong friendships.

In 1975, he became the co-owner of Mazur Nursery with his wife Irene. In 1976, Alfred and Irene opened Perna’s Plant and Flower S hop i n We s t Wi nd s or.

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s Mazur Nursery was one of the leading wholesale and retail bedding plant nursery establishments. In 1991, they decided to focus on their local retail customers, offering the broadest and largest and most unique selection of annuals, perennials, and vegetables in the area. Alfred continued to actively lead the nursery through 2016, taking great enjoyment and pride in growing the types and varieties of plants the customers came to appreciate.

Alfred could be counted on to always be at the checkout counter providing gardening advice, guidance, and good conversation to their customers. Always willing to give anyone a chance

to work, Alfred served as the first employer for many young men and women, teaching them the virtue of hard work and persistence.

Many of these people would routinely come back to visit with Alfred over the years to catch up and share stories of their time working at the nursery. When not working at his business, Alfred enjoyed traveling with his wife, going to the horse races, visiting Atlantic City, dining out, and watching and attending NASCAR races.

Alfred also belonged to M.S. Roma Eterna, Princeton Italian American Sportsman Club, Knights of Columbus, Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Department, and the NJ Nurseryman’s Association.

Predeceased by his parents, Nicola and Irena (née Rossi) Perna, his wife Irene M. Perna, two brothers Anthony R. Perna and Michael J Perna, his sister Olimpia T. Perna; he is survived by his son, Steven Perna and wife Maria; his daughter Sarah Conte and husband Scott; grandchildren, Nicole, Michael, and Christina Conte.

Funeral services for Alfred were held on Monday, August 20, 2018 at 9 a.m. at Poulson & Van Hise Funeral Directors, 650 Lawrence Road, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648.

Interment followed at St. Hedwig Cemetery, Ewing, NJ. To send a condolence to the family please visit www. poulsonvanhise.com.

Arrangements were under the direction of Poulson & Van Hise Funeral Directors, Lawrenceville, NJ.

ATTORNEY REVIEW Congratulations! You have a signed contract! Now What? It is time to hire an attorney.

In New Jersey there is a time called attorney review. You may ask, “What is attorney review and how long does it last?”

It is recommended that both parties have an attorney to protect and advise to the legality of the contract. The process typically takes three days. During the three days, the attorney will make changes to the contract. Most contracts contain a clause that allows for inspections to be made giving the seller the right to cure defective items that may be revealed. Another clause in the contract is the mortgage commitment date.

This is an agreed upon date in which the financing must be secured by the buyer’s lender.

Once both parties agree to the terms of the contract, attorney review is concluded.

How much does an attorney cost? The fees range between $1200 and $1500. Go to BeatriceBloom.com and take a look at my recommended vendor list.
