Use of Franklin Lot Debated at Meeting Of Princeton Council

The temporary future of the open lot on Franklin Avenue was the focus of Princeton Council’s continuing discussion of parking at the Council’s meeting on Monday, August 27. The town’s parking system is being studied and improved, and the governing body has been receiving updates as details are worked out by consultants and staff. The future of the Franklin lot across from the Avalon Princeton complex is temporary, because the lot has been designated as a future site for affordable housing. Until that time, which could be between one and two years, the spacious lot could be the site of regulated parking, or something else. The property was formerly owned by Princeton University, which donated it to the municipality in 2014 as part of a seven-year agreement on voluntary contributions. “I want to make it totally clear that we are talking about temporary parking, because this is slated for affordable housing,” said Mayor Liz Lempert. Municipal engineer Deanna Stockton explained that the western side of the lot Continued on Page 28

Drumthwacket to Be a New Jersey “Point of Pride” With its six white columns and sprawling wings on either side, Drumthwacket is among Princeton’s most visually striking buildings. But the official residence of the governor of New Jersey, last occupied from 2002 to 2004 by former Gov. James McGreevey and family, is in need of some major TLC. Since Gov. Phil Murphy took office last January, First Lady Tammy Murphy has made the Stockton Street property a priority. Working with the Drumthwacket Foundation, Mrs. Murphy plans to spruce up the building, inside and out. The house, which dates from 1835 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is regularly used for receptions and open to the public on a limited basis. But the upstairs family quarters has decades-old carpeting, loose plaster moldings, and a few electric sockets that are falling down. The Murphys “would love to move in,” Tammy Murphy said during a phone conversation this week. “But this isn’t just for us. It’s for everyone. My goal is to fix up Drumthwacket so that my husband and his administration can use it for meetings, and it becomes a point of pride for New Jersey. I want to make it shine. I feel as

though it has gotten a little bit rundown.” It was the front lawn that first got Mrs. Murphy’s attention. “When I arrived here, I was struck right away by the fact that cars were parked on the lawn,” she said. “We can’t do that anymore. It’s bad for the neighborhood, the house, and the lawn. And it’s a waste of money because the DEP (Department of Environmental Protection) has to come in after each event and regrade the lawn.”

Creating a parking area involves fixing up the back driveway, which has lately been out of use. That work is underway. “We also want to open up the back gate, which hasn’t been used for years,” Mrs. Murphy said. “And the tennis court and swimming pool — it’s almost a dangerous situation and it has to be fixed.” This summer, students from Rutgers University’s horticulture department Continued on Page 28

Jackson, Sherman Highlight Coalition for Peace Fall Conference

The Rev. Jesse Jackson will be the keynote speaker at the Princeton University Chapel on November 11, preaching at the 39th Annual Multifaith Service sponsored by the Coalition for Peace Action (CFPA). For the CFPA’s Conference for Peace that afternoon at the Nassau Presbyterian Church, the renowned civil rights, religious, and political figure will be joined by Wendy Sherman, lead U.S. negotiator for the Iran nuclear agreement; Ray Acheson, steering group member for the International Campaign to Ban Nuclear Weapons and part of the Nobel Peace

Prize-winning effort last summer to pass the nuclear weapons prohibition treaty at the U.N.; and Bill Hartung, internationallyrecognized expert on the issues of Pentagon spending and the global arms race. “I’m thrilled to have such a dynamite collection of speakers, with Jesse Jackson kicking it off,” said CFPA Executive Director the Rev. Bob Moore. “There’s a great lineup of speakers,” CFPA Assistant Director Niki VanAller concurred. “Jesse Jackson has been a leading voice for peace for so long. He speaks to a wide audience, different Continued on Page 29

MUSHROOM MADNESS: Searching the woods for mushrooms is a popular pastime, especially during hot, wet, humid summers like the one that is winding to a close. While varieties like these chanterelles are prized, officials caution that cooking and eating mushrooms without knowing what they are can be toxic. (Cantharellus cibarius.

Searching for Mushrooms Is Fun But When in Doubt, Throw It Out

Growing up in upstate New York, Steve Omiecinski learned from his father how to hunt for mushrooms in the woods. “My dad used to go out with his grandpa, so he knew what to look for,”

said Omiecinski, a Princeton resident who has continued the tradition in local areas he will not disclose. “It’s like a beauty secret, or a good fishing hole,” he said. “No one is going to share where they go looking.”

Omiecinski has been hunting mushrooms for years, and he knows what he is looking for. But for those less informed, the New Jersey Poison Control Center cautions that picking and eating mushrooms growing in gardens, woods, on lawns, and on trees can be a dangerous game. As of last Friday, there were 56 cases of mushroom poisoning in New Jersey, which can range from nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting — to death. “People think they know what they are, but it can be deceiving,” said Bruce Ruck, managing director of the Center, which is part of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School’s Depar tment of Emergency Medicine. “There was one case where the mother in a family died because she was cooking the mushrooms they picked and tasting them as she went along. The father and son were hospitalized, but they survived.” Sav v y mushroom hunters know which varieties to avoid. “There are professional foragers and they know what they’re doing,” said Ruck. “But if you are not one of them, and you see a mushroom on your lawn and you have kids and pets, dig it out and throw it out. Don’t take the chance.” Princeton architect Jeffery Clarke defers to his friend Omiecinski as the expert on mushroom hunting. With Omiecinski’s advice, he recently harvested a puffball from his back yard, cooked it, and ate it — with no ill effects. “It can be a huge risk,” Clarke said. “But that being said, there is an easy way to check some of the common varieties. If you cut them open and they don’t have gills, that’s good.” The Poison Control Center warns that some edible mushrooms have toxic

lookalikes. Depending on the variety, eating even a few bites can cause serious health issues. For anyone worried about exposure to poisonous mushrooms, time is of the essence. Instead of waiting for symptoms to appear or searching the internet, call the Poison Help Line at (800) 222-1222, 24 hours a day. For New Jersey residents, the Poison Control Center can arrange for an expert to identify the mushroom. “Remove any remaining parts of the mushroom from the person’s mouth and place those fragments and Continued on Next Page

all mushrooms that are in the immediate vicinity of the incident into one or more paper bags, NOT plastic,” reads a statement from the organization. “Take a digital photograph of the mushroom in question. It helps to take a picture of the mushroom next to other objects such as a coin, ruler, etc. to provide a sense of scale.” But for the professionals and those who know how to distinguish the good from the bad, mushroom hunting is a popular pastime. “It’s something nice to do outside. It gives you a reason to walk,” said Omiecinski. “I would say I know about four or five places I can go to and know what I’m probably going to find.” There are about seven or eight mushroom varieties that Omiecinski feels comfortable with. He welcomes the Poison Control Center’s advisories. “I think it’s good that people are scared,” he said. “Because it can be dangerous. And hey, it means more for me.” —Anne Levin

P r inceton Cou ncil ap proved an ordinance at its Monday, August 27 meeting to charge a fee for marriages and civil union ceremonies performed by Mayor Liz Lempert and Council President Jenny Crumiller. The measure was introduced at the August 13 meeting of the governing body. It will cost $50 for Princeton residents and $200 for non-resident couples to have the ceremony performed by municipal officials. The money will go into an emergency fund that is part of Princeton’s Human Services Department, specifically to be used to fund temporary housing for residents who have been displaced during an emergency. Lempert said that while the ceremonies have been performed for free in the past, couples have been asked for a donation of their choice to benefit organizations from a list including Princeton Public Library, Friends of Princeton Open Space, and ot hers. T he proposal to charge for the service came after officials realized that many couples were not local residents, but were coming from out of town. “This is a beautiful town,” Lempert said. “People like to have it on their certificate.” Marriage and civil union ceremonies are usually performed by Lempert on Fridays, in her office or at locations around Princeton. Requests were at a peak in 2013, when same sex marriages became legal in New

Jersey. While it has slowed down since then, the ceremonies still take time and some expense. “With couples where neither one was from Princeton, we felt we were providing a free service that was costing the town time and the clerk’s time, and it just seemed like we should be charging for it,” Lempert said.

A conference on the conn e c t i o n s b e t w e e n w h at we eat and how we feel is scheduled for September 16 from 8:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Suzanne Patterson Center, Stockton Street. Admission is $48. The event is a collaboration of The Suppers Programs and NOFA-NJ. It brings together doctors, farmers, and consumers to explore the issue. The catastrophic rise in potentially avoidable illness — from autism to Alzheimer’s, diabetes to heart disease, depression to mental illness — relates to changes in our environment and what and how we eat. The solutions lie in close collaborations among the people who grow our food (and our immune systems), prevention-oriented health care practitioners, and eaters who have the power to choose delicious, whole, real food. Participants will come away with a practical understanding of how to avoid

inflammatory diseases and prevent and reverse heart disease, cognitive losses, and dementia. The science will be presented in terms manageable for lay people. The solutions will manifest in the form of delicious, mostly locally sourced food – the food that heals. Visit https://nofanj.org/ shl18/ to register.

Seven years ago on August 28, the Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad (PFARS) lost Michael Kenwood, “one of our own,” during a swiftwater rescue attempt. According to PFARS President Mark Freda, “at 4:38 a.m. at the height of Hurricane Irene, the Squad was dispatched to Rosedale Road in the area of the Stony Brook for a water rescue. Although he was not scheduled to be on duty, Michael knew that as a swift-water rescue technician, he had the skills necessary to help. “When the crews arrived on scene, they found a sedan partially submerged in two feet of floodwater about 70 yards from the water’s edge. Emergency personnel were unable to see whether the vehicle was occupied, and after repeated attempts to signal to the vehicle, the vehicle’s rear tail lights began to flash. Believing that people might be trapped inside, Michael and another swift-water rescue technician entered the water at 5:05 a.m. and proceeded halfway to the vehicle before they both were swept from their feet by a rush of water. “A haul team was unable to pull them back to shore and Michael was caught underwater in a stand of trees. The haul line was cut to free him from the trees and he was carried approximately 100 yards downstream with the current. When rescuers arrived, they found Michael in cardiac arrest. Emergency personnel on scene performed CPR and rushed him to the University Medical Center of Princeton. Mi-

sive. Late in the evening, he succumbed to his injuries. He was 39 years old.” According to Mark Freda, “It was later determined that the car was empty – the flashing tail lights likely caused by a malfunction of the car’s electrical system, a fact that does not detract from Michael’s intention when he entered the water to aid someone whose life may have been in danger. Michael’s resolution in the face of the great risk was a testament to his courage. His death resonated across

dia and among close-knit networks of first responders. Inspired, humbled, and deeply affected by this tragedy, hundreds of rescuers who had never met Michael came to pay tribute to his bravery and sacrifice. Those of us who had the privilege of working with Michael at PFARS recall August 28 as the saddest day in our history. We also remember a man of great love, generosity, and courage who continues to inspire us every day.”

REMEMBERING MICHAEL KENWOOD: “Those of us who had the privilege of working with Michael at PFARS recall August 28 as the saddest day in our history,” said PFARS President Mark Freda. “We also remember a man of great love, generosity, and courage who continues to inspire us every day.”

Emergency Resources Diverted Due to “Swatting” Attempts

Mercer County Central Communications, the agency that dispatches 911 emergency calls to local jurisdictions, reported to the Office of the County Prosecutor that it has recently received a spate of false calls. Referred to as “swatting” and derived from the law enforcement unit SWAT (special weapons and tactics), this type of hoax triggers the dispatch of emergency response service teams to another person’s address under the false pretense of a serious emergency. Mercer County Central Communications reports it has received at least eight calls over two or three days falsely claiming, among other things, “pediatric emergency,” “unconscious child,” “cardiac arrest of a child,” “smoke reported,” “shots fired” and “shots fired in vicinity of school.” Calls were targeted in the Trenton and Hamilton areas. The suspected calls filtered through dispatch in a variety of ways including Text 911 and 7-digit calls to local police. None were direct 911 calls. Dispatch reports that perpetrators often use a variety of technology tricks, known as “spoofing,” to hide the caller’s real location and trick emergency authorities into responding to a fabricated emergency. Princeton was the target of several swatting incidents in recent years, disrupting Princeton Public Schools more than 10 times in 2015 and 2016. “False alarms, ‘swatting’ and ‘spoofing’ are not funny pranks,” said Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes. “False alarms potentially divert emergency responders away from legitimate emergencies, which could ultimately lead to loss of life.” Added Hughes, “Violators of the law will be prosecuted and Mercer County supports the County Prosecutor’s investigation into this ongoing dangerous situation. Swatting can be prosecuted through federal crime statutes and can carry steep fines.”

Coalition for Peace Action Responds To Letter on Use of Atomic Weapons

To the Editor: In his August 22 letter [“Personal Experiences Lead to Different View of Weapons Used Against Japan”], Mr. Bill McJames of Hillsborough takes issue with the Coalition for Peace Action’s annual gathering to commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Like many, he believes that the two atom bombs dropped on Japan in 1945 were the primary cause of the Japanese surrender and thus prevented massive casualties on both sides from an otherwise inevitable U.S. land invasion of Japan. It is worth mentioning that modern historians vigorously dispute this interpretation of the causes for the Japanese surrender. However, the focus of the Annual Commemoration held by the Coalition for Peace Action is not to look backwards in time and decide if the bombings were right or wrong. True, the destruction caused by those two relatively small atomic bombs was horrific. But the detonation of just a fraction of the thousands of today’s immensely more powerful nuclear weapons could essentially end life on our planet. That is the awful future we must strive to prevent. And that is why we favor diplomacy, not war, with Iran and North Korea. Thanks to diplomacy, Iran has no nuclear weapons to date; and if President Trump hadn’t withdrawn from the Iran Nuclear Agreement, Iran could not produce such weapons for at least a decade. North Korea does have dozens of nuclear weapons. But the U.S. has over 7,000 of them, far more than anyone can argue might be useful for deterrence. Agreements like the one with Iran have decreased the danger of nuclear weapons. The U.S. should move back

And was coined by Donald Trump just recently for derogawe should also enter into negotiations that reduce the tory use in his presidential campaign. In fact, “chain threat of nuclear weapons for everyone. migration” has been used without negative connotation in immigration studies since at least the 1960s. To sugIn remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki each year, the gest that the term is necessarily pejorative needlessly Coalition for Peace Action calls for the global abolition alienates those who use it with no such intent. of nuclear weapons.

BOOK REVIEW

Outside Looking In With Mary Shelley and the Parkers, Dorothy and Charlie There’s too much in my head for this horn. —Charlie Parker (1920-1955) nd there’s too much in my head for this column. One of the pleasures of writing a piece every week is being able to put fresh-in-the-moment impressions in play even if they don’t always mesh with the subject. Like when the pennant race is heating up and the St. Louis Cardinals suddenly come back from the dead with a new manager, an injection of young talent, and the magical properties of their hottest hitter’s homemade salsa. Being attached to a team is like being lashed to a runaway train; full speed ahead one day, off the rails the next. I was so blitzed by the too-muchness of last week’s aftermidnight sweep of the Dodgers in L.A. that I almost forgot we were coming out on Charlie Parker’s birthday. On top of that I’m still dealing with an overflow of Dorothy Parker from last week’s column while on my way to Mary Shelley, who was born tomorrow, August 30, give or take 221 years, which is why I’m reading Frankenstein ahead of the bicentennial Halloween marathon recital at Chancellor Green, named for Princeton graduate Henry Green, who graduated in 1820, two years after the Creature made his literary debut. The Other Parker I didn’t know that the other Parker had the equivalent of a jazz musician’s command of her instrument until I read “The Little Hours,” where she wakes up at four in the morning, “the zero hour … the time the swooning soul hangs pendant and vertiginous between the new day and the old … when all ways, traveled or virgin, fall away from the stumbling feet, when all before the straining eyes is black. Blackness now, everywhere is blackness.” From the sound of it so far, she could be sharing the zero hour with 19-year-old Mary the night she envisioned her creation, but Parker prefers to keep it fast and light, riffing throughout on “that lovable old cynic” La Rochefoucauld and scattering outlandish puns in her wake (“I’ll stay off Verlaine, too; he was always chasing Rimbauds”), and refusing to count sheep (“Suppose they never get counted — what’s the worst that can happen? If the number of imaginary sheep in this world remains a matter of guesswork, who is richer or poorer for it? No, sir; I’m not going to be the patsy. Let them count themselves, if they’re so crazy mad after mathematics. Coming around here, at this time of day, and asking me to count them! And not even real sheep, at that.”). Parker winds up swirling in a maelstrom of sleep-inducing quotations, from “To thine own self be true” through “Silent upon a peak in Darien” and back to her solo performance’s launch point, LaRochefoucauld’s line, “If nobody had ever learned to read, very few people

would be in love.” A Kick in the Head Charlie Parker’s female namesake is so caught up in the rhythms of invention, you can almost hear her yelps of joy above the tapping of the typewriter keys, and if you live to write, it’s hard to resist having a little free-association fun yourself. Like today, crazy with cabin fever, I hop in my millennial CRV, put a Charlie Parker CD in the slot, and breathe in the warm mellow energy of “Barbados.” Instant gratification. A kick in the head. A jolt to the spirit. As Dorothy Parker puts it, “Any stigma will do to beat a dogma.” By the time I get to the back door of the library I’m wide-awake in the freshness of the recorded moment, savoring even those sudden breaks where Bird shouts “Hold it!” at the engineer, the train stops, they dive into another take and move maybe four bars further before he gives a cease-anddesist whistle you could hear in Wichita. Blessed be the retakes. They put the man right there in the car. As I pull out of Sylvia Beach Place, I’ve got biographies of Mary Shelley and Charlie Parker in the passenger seat a n d Charl ie’s knocking on heaven’s door w ith “Parker’s Mood.” If there’s a “song is me” moment in his music it’s in the fanfare that says Here I am, here we go, now’s the time, and then softly as in a morning sunrise comes John Lewis’s piano, a deceptively pastoral transition to sheer sorcery, Kansas City lightning (as in the title of Stanley Crouch’s biography), fiercely flashing right up to a repeat of the fanfare and a return to summer with John Lewis as a gust of sunny air blows through the window. Something About Mary And here she is, staring elegantly up at me from the cover of Miranda Seymour’s biography (Grove Press 2000), except this face belongs to a handsome middle-aged woman, not the miracle girl I imagined in these pages a decade ago, barefoot in a white gown shaking a tambourine and singing back-up to Keats and Shelley on

“La Belle Dame Sans Merci,” with Lord Byron performing Don Juan rave-ups on lead guitar. It’s hard to find images of such a Mary among the illustrations in Seymour’s biography, where she’s remembered by her Scottish friends for “her large hazel eyes and the crowning glory of her astonishing hair.” In later years, the “waving red-gold hair is pinned up” above “a high intellectual forehead.” As a young girl, along with sisters Jane and Fanny, Mary charmed the exiled ex-vice-president Aaron Burr, Princeton Class of 1772 (buried in the cemetery across from Sylvia Beach Way), who remembers the Godwin sisters fondly in his journal as “les goddesses … the three flirtatious nymphs who brightened his loneliness with invitations to take tea in their schoolroom at the top of the house.” That was in 1812 w h e n Mar y was 15. Less than two years later she and sister Jane are running off to Europe with Shelley, credi te d b y S e y mour with putting the seed of the Creature in Mary’s mind w it h h is s to ries of magic and chem ical experiments. But then it would seem t hat she was fated to write the tale, having been born on the cusp of a new century, the same year the poem that haunted her g i rl h o o d w a s being talked to life by Wordsworth and Coleridge on the rocky beach at Watchet. Little Mary was 13, hiding with her siblings under the parlor sofa the night Coleridge arrived chez Godwin and delivered a chilling recitation of The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Walking Behind Her The Rime actually follows Shelley into her novel, in the aftermath of the moment Victor Frankenstein comprehends the horror of the “miserable monster” he’s created, “a thing such as even Dante could not have conceived.” Describing his walk through the streets of Ingolstadt on a wet dismal morning as he seeks to avoid “the wretch whom I feared every turning of the street would present to my view,” hurrying on, “not daring to look about me,” Shelley morphs into Coleridge’s Mariner: “Like one who, on a lonely road,/Doth walk in

fear and dread …. Because he knows a frightful fiend/Doth close behind him tread.” Words like miserable and thing and wretch take on another, more poignant meaning when you’ve read far enough to begin to see the creature not as the 20th-century cliche of horror embodied by Boris Karloff but as the embattled alien gazing into the cottage window at a scene he devoutly wishes to be a part of, having first been enchanted by the music the old blind man plays on his guitar and then by the communal society of the other cottagers from whose example he learns to speak and read and think, albeit at a safe distance and with the aid of an abandoned portmanteau containing Paradise Lost, Plutarch’s Lives, and The Sorrows of Young Werther. In his afterword to the Bantam edition of Frankenstein, Harold Bloom suggests that the creature is “more imaginative than his creator, more intellectual, more emotional,” the novel’s “most astonishing achievement” being that “the monster is more human than his creator.” For Bloom, Frankenstein “contains one of the most vivid versions we have of the Romantic mythology of the self.” Outside Looking In aze long enough into Mary Shelley’s eyes in the Richard Rothwell portrait, and the veneer of middleaged austerity begins to fade until you can imagine that she’s still outside looking in, still the outsider, the girl who ran away. Two hundred years later, her achievement resounds beyond the mythology of the self to the mythology of the outsider, whether it’s the immigrant looking in the window of America, the refugee being denied asylum, or the solitary artist, like the writer living out her days in a New York hotel whose favorite epithet was “What fresh hell is this?” Or the great musician banned from the nightclub that was named for him, as Charlie Parker was from Birdland. —Stuart Mitchner ——— One of the truest portrayals of the Creature we’ll ever see is Rory Kinnear’s in the series, Penny Dreadful. Mary Shelley herself turns up (briefly) in The Frankenstein Chronicles, played by Anna Maxwell Martin. The 2017 film Mary Shelley, which stars Elle Fanning, suggests the need for a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Shelley and Byron. The 200th Birthday Frankenread Festival will take place in the Chancellor Green Rotunda on three nights, October 31-Nov. 2, one for each volume of Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus. There will be 62 readers from the University and the Princeton community, part of a worldwide marathon reading.

BACK TO SCHOOL Back to School Personal Health Check List Is Important as Kids Start the New School Year

s those long seductive summer days wind down, a new school year is fast approaching. Kids not only have to get ready for new classes, new teachers, and new adventures, they also face important health check-ups. Many schools require medical examinations and vaccinations

before students begin classes. As part of the “head-to-toe” check-up, eye and dental exams are very important, and should not be postponed. Annual vision examinations can provide early indications of possible problems that could become serious later. Some studies have shown that

simple screenings may miss up to 60 percent of vision conditions, including some that indicate a child needs glasses. It is certainly best to correct any problems early, so that the student can focus on schoolwork. Literally! “It is prudent for children and teens to have a compre-

hensive eye examination and tear film evaluation before school begins, especially given the amount of time students spend on digital devices in and out of the classroom,” says Dr. Mary Boname, optometric physician and CEO of Montgomery Eye in Montgomery Township. Eye Exams As an optometric physician, Dr. Boname can diagnose, treat, and manage eye disease, including performing comprehensive eye exams, prescribing topical and oral medications, and providing prescriptions for corrective eye glasses and fitting contact lenses. Optometric physicians can perform most of the same services as ophthalmologists, with the exception of surgical procedures such as cataract extraction, glaucoma procedures, LASIK, and blepharoplasties. In her practice, Dr. Boname sees patients from 2 years old to 102! Regarding her younger patients, she notes that common conditions that would require a child to wear glasses are near-sightedness (myopia), far-sightedness, astigmatism, and accommodative (focusing) difficulties. Not only is it important for students to have check-ups before school begins, but she Continued on Next Page

emphasizes that their first exam should start in their earliest years. “Children should have their first eye exam at 6 months of age, then again at 3, and every year beginning at age 5. If a child has a family history of strabismus (an eye turn), amblyopia (a ‘lazy’ eye), or a history of premature birth, they are most at risk for reduced best-corrected visual acuity, and the possible need for corrective lenses, patching therapy, and more frequent eye evaluations.” “School-age children should have an annual eye examination and a six-month follow-up to guard against the need for an Rx change, which can happen more frequently in schoolage children,” she continues.

“In my 24 years of private optometric practice, I have written more eyeglass prescriptions for younger patients, primarily those who show difficulty changing focus from distance to near and vice versa (accommodative and binocular vision problems). Vision Risks “There is a definite connection to the use of Chromebooks in the class room and the majority of reference materials and reading assignments being online. In the absence of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration and no history of diabetes or hypertension, the greatest threat to the health of your eyes and your vision is chronic exposure to blue radiation from indoor lights and digital electronic devices like laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones. I prescribe — and wear —

BluTech lenses. They block 100 percent of blue radiation.” Dr. Boname also points out possible vision risks for student-athletes. “Most student-athletes are required at a minimum to have a visual acuity and color vision assessment. The leading cause of permanent vision loss in children under the age of 17 is sports-related injuries. Therefore, I consider it imperative for children to wear protective glasses that won’t bend, break, or shatter.” Also, she continues, “Concussions among my patients who are student-athletes are on the rise. Post-concussive syndrome can have a tremendous impact on a child’s ability to read, track, and visually process information, especially from an electronic device.” Regarding the popularity of Continued on Next Page

contact lenses, Dr. Boname remarks that children at the age of 12 are typical candidates. “I would say sixth grade is a good time to fit a child with contact lenses, but if a child exhibits the maturity and responsibility to manage the proper care and handling of contact lenses, I would make an exception for a younger child.” Whatever the kids are hoping for — fun, good-looking eyeglass frames and the latest styles, or contacts, the underlying reason for a visit to the eye doctor must always be paramount. Evaluation and care. The continuing health of one’s vision cannot be overestimated. A Great Smile Going to the dentist is never No. 1 on the list of fun “To Do”

lists — especially for children. In fact, dental-phobia (for adults too) is often so prevalent that some dentists have introduced fish tanks and aquariums into their office waiting rooms in an effort to create a soothing and relaxing atmosphere. For kids, a visit to an orthodontist is an increasing occurrence. More children seem to wear braces than ever before. As orthodontist Dr. Karen DeSimone of DeSimone Orthodontics in Pennington, observes, “There are more children in orthodontic treatment, by percentage, than in years and decades past. There are a myriad of reasons to which we might attribute this occurrence, the most likely of which are access and affordability. “As recently as 30 years ago, there were 60 percent fewer orthodontists than there are

now. And treatment today is one-half the cost that it was in the 1980s when adjusted for inflation. Not to mention that we now offer interestfree payment plans, whereas decades ago, it was a ‘pay-infull’ dental option. So while there isn’t any evidence that more children today have bite and/or dentition issues than at times in the past, we have just become a society wherein the beauty, confidence, and joy of a great smile is vastly more accessible.” Dr. DeSimone points out that orthodontics is significantly more than strengthening crooked teeth — although that is certainly an important aspect. “It is also about engineering functional, health bites that will yield a lifetime of great oral/dental health.

Straight teeth are only part of having and enjoying a great smile.” The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that all children see an orthodontist at age 7, she adds. “The reason for such an early first visit is because we determine whether interceptive early treatment is advisable both to reduce treatment time and maximize comfort.” Common Problems “For example,” she said, “many children are born with narrow bites, where their upper bridge has a very narrow arch. When this happens, and if caught before the bones in the hard palette fuse, the fix is a simple orthodontic device that we give the child to wear for a period of time. If, however, the parent waits until the bones in the palette fuse together around age 10, the fix may require surgery and more complex treatment. Because timing is so important in orthodontics, we provide this ‘pre-treatment’ evaluation and monitoring as a free service.” Common problems that patients exhibit are crowding of teeth, crooked teeth, spaces between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, reports Dr. DeSimone. The time frame for completion of

the procedure varies depending on the condition. “Most children/teens for whom full orthodontic treatment is recommended are finished with treatment within 18 to 24 months. That variance is based on the complexity of the issue we are correcting. “Most of our patients have appointments every 10 to 12 weeks during the course of treatment. We have to make certain the teeth/bite are moving exactly as planned, and then we make adjustments to ensure that everything is comfortable, and that we finish on time.” The good news is that braces today are a far cry from those clunky metal things that kids in years past were forced to wear. Some are clear and hardly

even show, as Dr. DeSimone explains, “Today’s clear braces are amazing. Not only are they small and comfortable, but they don’t stain or yellow over time (as happened with the clear braces of a decade ago). “There are even clear wires now, so that treatment can proceed without the stereotypical ‘bracey smile.’ Today’s metal braces are also significantly smaller and more comfortable than those that we had to suffer through. It’s amazing how much the technology and processes have evolved in such a short time. And of course, Invisalign® is a system that gives us another option for discretely and comfortably addressing orthodontic issues.” —Jean Stratton

ake it yours! Compel your audience! In this case, the audience is the admissions officer who is reading your college application essay. The point is to provide this person with an essay unlike any other they have ever read before. Easier said than done! Nevertheless, it is a goal worth pursuing — it could make the difference between a “Yes” or a “No” from the school of your choice. Nancy Exumé, owner and founder of Strategic College Essays LLP in Lawrenceville, emphasizes that the essay can be crucial. “How important is your personal statement? If you are applying for admission to a competitive college or university, it is very important. Tipping Point “Most applicants to elite colleges have the stellar academic record and impressive achievements required for admission to these select schools. When colleges receive 30,000 applications for 1,200 seats, the admissions essay or personal statement

may be the tipping point that decides your fate in the admissions process.” An educational consulting firm, Strategic College Essays LLP assists applicants in writing their essays as part of their application to undergraduate and graduate/professional schools. “My company is not a ghost-writing service,” points out Exumé. “I offer writing and coaching focusing on brainstorming and storytelling.” An essay that stands out is of major importance, she explains. “Done well, it may gain you admission to your top school choice. It can also be the factor that gets you rejected if poorly crafted. I personally know many stories of applicants with perfect SAT scores and high GPAs who apply to elite schools and gained admission to none because there was an assumption that the grades and standardized test scores would suffice to gain admission to a top tier school. “The application essay or personal statement allows the admissions team to see the actual person behind the

grades and test scores. Remember that the admissions officers are trying to fill an incoming freshman class, and they want the most interesting persons whom they know are capable of doing the work required of them to graduate. The essay or personal statement provides the applicant’s best chance to stand out in the applicant pool by writing a memorable essay.” Who You Are Authenticity and originality are key, adds The Princeton Review. The college application essay differs substantially from the typical high school essay written for English class. “Your college application is probably your first experience writing a personal statement,” points out The Review. “A high school essay demonstrates to your teacher what you know. An application essay should demonstrate who you are.” Also, continues The Review, “Your college essay should be unique and individual to you. No one sees the world quite the way you do, so let your personality shine through.” Ryan Hickey, managing editor of Peterson’s & EssayEdge, emphasizes the major significance of writing skills. “You won’t make it in college if you can’t write. The admissions officers want to know that you have achieved a level of literacy such that you have a solid command of grammar, sufficient vocabulary, and the ability to organize your thoughts so that Continued on Page 23

express themselves,” explains Molly Dunne, director of admissions at Peddie School, a co-educational independent college preparatory school in Hightstown. “Equally important, however, is that the essays provide a window into who the student is and what distinguishes him or her from other applicants. “Peddie requires prospective students to complete the Standard Application Online, which typically includes two essay questions. Peddie also has supplemental questions that applicants are asked to answer, which are shorter open-ended prompts that provide an opportunity for the admissions committee to learn even more about the student.” Essays are one part of the application process, along with academic record, extracurricular involvement, interviews, and teacher recommendations, points out Dunne. Essays are unique, however, in the opportunity they give students to express themselves thoughtfully, creatively, and originally. Curiosity and Character “Peddie is looking for students who all have excitement, curiosity and character,” she adds. “A good piece of writing will often show us those attributes.” Peddie works with its students to help prepare them for college, and this includes assisting with the college application essay, explains Dunne. “Peddie students are each assigned a college counselor who begins working with students in their

junior year. In addition to guiding students in their college choices, college counselors work one-on-one with our students to help them best tell their own stories. “In a ver y real sense, though, our students are honing their essay writing skills every day during their years at Peddie. Our students are not only working with our English teachers to become better writers, but are learning to be critical thinkers in each and every one of their classes. Our junior year English curriculum also includes writing an autobiography. So by the time our students write their college applications, they have already spent significant time exploring and writing about their personal journey.” Getting the essay right, whether it be for college or secondary school, is an important step on a student’s educational adventure. Nancy Exumé of Strategic College Essays LLP helps students develop their best writing and presentation skills. She emphasizes, however, that ultimately the work must be their own. “We rely on the writing process itself to produce a polished essay that is noticed by a college admissions team. I have worked with students who set their sights on attending one of the elite colleges and universities in the country, and my students have gained admission to schools such as Rutgers University, The University of Pennsylvania, Brown University, Swarthmore College, and Princeton University, among others.” —Jean Stratton

asty Acres has been a special place for horseback riders of all levels for more than 50 years. Located at 121 Laurel Avenue in Kingston, it offers English-style riding instruction as well as the opportunity to learn about equine care. Longtime rider and awardwinning expert horsewoman Natalie Pontillo purchased Hasty Acres three years ago.

IT’S NEW To Us

“I like being outside and active, and these horses are important to me,” she explains. “I not only learned to ride at Hasty Acres, but I also worked here. I love working with the kids and seeing them develop. It is so beneficial to them. They learn to ride and also to care for the horses, brushing and currying them.”

Twenty horses, including ponies, are available for riding instruction, and Hasty Acres also has eight boarders, whose owners often come to ride them. Year-Round Instruction begins at age 7, and is offered to all levels — beginners to advanced. In addition, the Heads Up Special Riders program is available for special needs children and adults, such as those with autism and cerebral palsy. Both private and group lessons are offered yearround. There are three outdoor riding rings and one indoor ring. “The emphasis is on balance and posture,” notes Pontillo. “The students learn to walk, trot, and canter. They also get used to the horses by learning to brush and curry them before riding. There is always a side walker for the smaller children. Also, when they are older, 8 or 9, they learn to saddle the horses.”

Lessons are a half-hour for private instruction, and one hour for group sessions. The groups are typically small — three to five students — and are placed according to similar levels. “We keep the groups small so that we can provide attention to each rider,” says Pontillo. Two instructors (including Pontillo) are on hand, as is a special teacher for the Heads Up program. “The therapeutic riding program offers oppor tunities for both kids and adults. We help our students achieve not only physical strength, but also to gain self-assurance, the ability to learn new skills, increased willingness to communicate, and an overall better quality of life. Riding Program “Riding and being with horses can help people with anxiety and depression issues too,” continues Pontillo. “It’s about having a commitment to someone other than yourself.” In the general riding program, students t ypically come once a week, although many also come two or three times a week according to their interest and availability of time. Lessons are $45 per session, and Pontillo points out that “We are budgetconscious for people, and try our best to keep lessons affordable.” She notes that adult students also enjoy riding at Hasty Acres. “Sometimes, when parents watch their kids, they decide to take lessons themselves. We also have a Dad’s Class on Saturday.” Whatever their age and experience, the students must wear appropriate apparel. Long pants (jeans or leggings), boots (riding boots or ankle boots, as long as there is a heel), and helmets are required. Helmets can be provided by Hasty Acres until the student purchases his or her own. Jumping instr uction is also available for the more advanced riders, and, in addition, Hasty Acres offers a summer camp program and birthday parties. The camp is held in July and August four days a week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Campers are ages 8 to 13 or 14, and the focus is on riding and horse care. “It’s a hands-on experience with grooming and handling, and becoming comfortable with the horses as well as having daily riding lessons,” says Pontillo. Birthday Parties Birthday parties can be arranged for a two-hour session, and groups generally range from six to 10 children. They have an opportunity to learn about grooming and also to get on a horse accompanied by staff in the ring.

While the focus at Hasty Acres is not on competition, the more experienced riders can participate in shows in the area if they wish. Pontillo will help arrange their participation and accompany them. In addition, some clients eventually lease a particular horse once they commit to a program of lessons. Then, they can practice riding on the same horse. A student work program is also available for high s ch o ol s t u d e nt s. “ T h e y come at 7:30 a.m. on the weekend, work in the barn, feed the horses, and clean the stalls,” reports Pontillo. “They need to have a real commitment about coming, and it is a real hands-on experience for them to learn about the horses first-hand.” Hasty Acres is a special place for all ages who love horses, who want to learn more about them, and then have the opportunity to ride. Many students become regulars and progress as experienced riders. Their enjoyment deepens the more time they spend at Hasty Acres. “I have never experienced a more dedicated staff,” says one longtime rider. Adds another, “It is a wonderful atmosphere, with people who love horses, and want to share the pleasures of riding with the students.” Outdoor Experience “We cater to people who want to learn a new skill and have a pleasant outdoor experience,” says Pontillo. “We are set apart by our emphasis on horsemanship and welcoming people new to the sport. We emphasize helping people to have an enjoyable time.” The horses are standard bred, quarter horses, some thoroughbreds, and ponies. They are experienced, patient, and well-mannered, and specially trained to assist in the process of learning to ride. “Riding lessons are an opportunity to turn an interest into a passion and to gain confidence and pride in horsemanship,” says Pontillo. “You will also get exercise and an opportunity to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.” Students will also have a chance to meet Corky, the very special “gentleman” at Hasty Acres. Unique in his longevity (many horses do not live beyond 30 years), he is happy to interact both with his human and equine companions. He enjoys his

Hasty Acres Riding Club in Kingston Has Long History of Riding Instruction

HORSE HAVEN: “I learned to ride at Hasty Acres when I was a girl, and I rode Corky,” says Natalie Pontillo (right) owner of Hasty Acres Riding Club. “Corky, a chestnut quarter horse, is now 42 years old and retired. The kids can still groom him, however, and he will always have a home here.” Georgia Elek, Hasty Acres assistant manager, is also shown with Corky. time in the pasture with the other horses as well as being groomed by the students and staff.

documented plantings and helped develop a master plan for stormwater management. “So the students get real, practical experience, and we don’t spend a lot of money,” Mrs. Murphy said. The downstairs kitchen, which is used to prepare food for receptions, has b e en ne gle c te d. “T here are improvements here and there, but it hasn’t been well thought through,” she said. “No one has looked at the big picture. I want to make it a kitchen that not only will enable dinners and receptions, but will also enable chefs to have cooking classes. There could be classes focused on local ingredients, guest chefs teaching about meals that might have been made during Drumthwacket’s history, and so on. It’s a way to include people from the community so they can enjoy the house and get something out of it that’s a bit different.” In the upstairs residential

areas, carpeting that was installed in the 1980s was ripped out to reveal original flooring in a few places. “It’s beautiful and it needs to be restored,” Mrs. Murphy said. A capital campaign that is in the beginning stages will help support the project, which will be done through the nonprofit Drumthwacket Foundation. Mrs. Murphy said other foundations, corporations, and individuals will be approached. “Phil and I will help, but we can’t do it on our own,” she said. “A lot will depend on how the campaign goes. We’re going to donors who have given historically. This should not be a partisan thing. It should be about support for this wonderful, historic property. This is an opportunity to do some things that are not going to be over the top, but will be a basic step to bring Drumthwacket back to a level of sophistication. Because it is an incredibly important destination.” —Anne Levin

has been used for municipal vehicles since before the University donated the land. The western half has been used for unregulated parking. “Do you want to monetize that?” Stockton asked, adding that the Princeton Public Schools, the Arts Council of Princeton, and the town’s Department of Recreation have all eyed the site for possible use. Council President Jenny Crumiller advised against turning the site into an official parking lot. “Even if people know it’s temporary, whenever we get rid of it will cause a new parking crunch. So it’s a bad idea,” she said. “And we talk a lot about Princeton being a walkable town. The plan for adding a new parking lot, even if it’s temporary, goes against all of those goals. No long-term good will come of it.” Crumiller suggested that the town be creative about use of the space, listing a winter ice skating rink, a bike training area, kite-

flying, hay bale gardens, a pop-up outdoor yoga studio, a tiny house demonstration area, and temporary parking for special events as possibilities. Councilwoman Leticia Fraga suggested a farmers market. Councilman Tim Quinn said he would support a parking area with permits instead of meters, available to employees of town businesses through coordination with the Princeton Merchants Association. “We would set the dates, saying when it starts and ends,” he said. “It buys us a little time to think about other potential remote and shuttling options.” Harris Road resident Monica Adams cautioned Council that Franklin Avenue is a primary walking route to and from Community Park Elementary School. “Traffic on that road is heavy,” she said. “This is where kids walk, all day long. I think that increasing that traffic flow, and there are no speed bumps … I’m asking

you to stop and think.” In another parking issue involving the phasing out of Smart Cards, Council agreed to consider extending the date when the Spring Street Garage stops accepting the card until sometime in April. The town recently posted information saying that use of the cards in the garage would end on December 31, and sooner at meters. Lempert and Crumiller both reported hearing from members of the public who are unhappy with the phase- out and the dates when they have to use up the funds on the cards. —Anne Levin

NJ Conference for Women Announces Two Speakers

The Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business Alliance ( WIBA) will present the sixth annual NJ Conference for Women w it h a speakers including artist Candy Chang and Lisa Tanzer, president of Life is Good. The event is October 26, at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village. Chang is an artist, urban designer, and founder of the “Before I Die” project, which began when she stenciled the words “Before I die I want to _______” on a chalkboard wall on an abandoned house in New Orleans, after losing someone she loved. The project has turned into an international art movement. Tanzer has over 25 years of consumer brand experience, serving as the company’s head of marketing as well as on the board of directors of the Life is G o o d K i d s Fo u n d at i o n . Earlier in her career, she held marketing and strategy roles at Hasbro, Staples, The Gillette Company, and PricewaterhouseCoopers. “The NJ Conference for Women is the state’s largest networking and educational event for women, designed to engage, enlighten, and empower attendees from across the state,” said Lorraine Holcombe, managing director and executive vice president of the NJ Conference for Women. In addition to Chang and Tanzer, the event will feature Patrice Banks, founder of the Girls Auto Clinic, along with five interactive workshop sessions. The conference will be held f rom 7: 30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and tickets are $16 0. T i c ke t s a r e n o w available at www.njconferenceforwomen.com.

generations, and different backgrounds.” She went on to note Jackson’s involvement in working for a peaceful resolution to the current Korean nuclear arms conflict. “He recently returned from South Korea, where he was spreading a peace message, advocating more humanitarian approaches to Korea,” she said. Twice a candidate for president, Jackson has played key roles in numerous movements for empowerment, peace, civil rights, gender equality, and economic and social justice over the past 40 years. In 2000 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. VanAller noted that Sherman, in addition to leading the U.S. negotiations with Iran,

earlier served as a special advisor to President Bill Clinton and as a policy coordinator on North Korea. Sherman is a senior counselor at Albright Stonebridge Group and a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. She served for a number of years as undersecretary of state for political affairs at the U.S. Department of State, overseeing the bureaus for Africa, East Asia and the Pacific, Europe and Eurasia, the Near East, South and Central Asia, the Western Hemisphere, and International Organizations. VanAller also mentioned the importance of Acheson and her “strong feminist voice” as head of the Reaching Critical Will organization and at the United Nations, “speaking against the toxic masculinity and bravado

of the disarmament dialogue.” Acheson provides analysis, research, and advocacy across a range of disarmament and arms control issues, leading the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom’s work on stigmatizing war and violence. Hartung, author of numerous books and articles on war and weapons, currently runs the Arms and Security Project at the Center for International Policy, and was previously director of the Arms and Security Initiative at the New America Foundation. The November 11 Multifaith Service will take place at 11 a.m., and is free and open to all with no pre-registration required. The Conference for Peace will take place from 1:30 to 5 p.m. —Donald Gilpin

Since the Michener opened its doors in 1988, it has expanded both its vision and its collection, which now numbers more than 3,500 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and works on paper. The process through which these works arrived in the Michener’s collection is a particular focus of the exhibition. “30 Years” explores the stories behind the art and the collectors, and celebrates the generosity of individuals who have transferred their private collections into the public trust, ensuring that their art will be experienced and enjoyed for generations to come. In association with the exhibition, the Michener will present a series of programs, including lectures, gallery talks, concerts, and more.

“For 30 years, our community has entrusted us with protecting and exhibiting the art and cultural heritage of our region and beyond,” said Kathleen Jameson, executive director. “’30 Years’ celebrates the substantial growth of our permanent collection and reaffirms our promise to continue serving our community as stewards of a truly exceptional collection of American art.” “30 Years” also features a selection of works curated by local middle and high school students enrolled in the Michener’s Student Curators class. These student cocurators will select, exhibit, and present new research on artworks in the museum’s collection that have not been exhibited in the galleries before. The James A. Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine Street in Doylestown, Pa. For more information, call (215) 3409800 or visit www.michenerartmuseum.org.

The Center for Contemporary Art recently received a Community Grant from The Provident Bank Foundation in support of its art outreach program for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD ) and other special needs. The Center offers these art classes year-round, with the fall program beginning September 17. The arts provide an invaluable avenue of self-expression for children with limited or no verbal communication. Because children with ASD often have heightened sensor y needs, they respond well to the multi-sensory stimulation and hands-on approach inherent in art. Students also benefit from guided explorations designed to foster communication, creativity, and problem solving, with hands-on activities involving clay and paint. The Center for Contemporary Art is located at 2020 Burnt Mills Road in Bedminster. For more information, call (908) 234-2345 or visit www.ccabedminster.org.

he first two movies of this popular animated series were set in a hotel that created a safe space for monsters to unwind. But what happpens when the resort owners themselves need a break? That’s the question being answered at the outset of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, an animated film about proprietor Count Dracula (Adam Sandler) and his company’s getaway on a luxury cruise for ghouls. At the point of departure, we find Dracula’s daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) making reservations for the family aboard the Legacy, a boat headed for the Bermuda Triangle to search for the mythical island Atlantis. En route, the widowed Count finds himself being charmed by the ship’s captain Ericka (Kathryn Hahn). However, Dracula doesn’t know that Ericka is the greatgranddaughter of his archenemy, the legendary monster hunter Abraham Van Helsing (Jim Gaffigan). By the time Mavis and her husband (Andy Samberg) figure out that the captain is up to no good, Count Dracula

is already under her spell. Can the Count be saved from the temptress’s plan to spike his guacamole with garlic oil? Or will she fall for the count herself and give up her plan to subdue the reformed vampire? Thus unfolds Hotel Transylvania 3 (HT3), a comedy directed by Genndy Tartakovsky who also directed HT1 and HT2. The principal cast members all reprise their roles and include Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez, Andy Samberg, Mel Brooks, Fran Drescher, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, and David Spade. The cartoon has lots of side-splitting slapstick and sight gags that are fun for the whole family, but what really makes this movie memorable is its universal message about tolerance. Excellent (HHHH). Rated PG for action and rude humor. Running time: 97 minutes. Production Studios: Columbia Pictures/Sony Pictures Animation/Media Rights Capital. Distributor: Columbia Pictures. —Kam Williams

Coming Off of Run to NCAA Quarters Last Fall, PU Field Hockey Fired Up for 2018 Campaign

aving finished last fall by winning six of its last seven games and advancing to the NCAA quarterfinals, the Princeton University field hockey team can’t wait to get the 2018 season underway. “The preseason is going quickly; it is a blur,” said Princeton head coach Carla Tagliente, whose team ended last year with a 12-7 record and its 22nd Ivy League title in the last 24 years. “They see everyone else playing and they are just getting excited for next weekend.” Princeton, which is ranked 10th nationally, faces two exciting challenges as it opens its 2018 campaign by playing No. 2 North Carolina on August 31 and No.

14 Wake Forest on September 2, with both games taking place in Philadelphia. Tagliente believes her squad has what it takes to match up well against such high-powered foes. “We are more skilled and have more depth and athleticism than we have had,” said Tagliente. The Tigers boast plenty of skill at striker with the onetwo punch of senior Sophia Tornetta (4 goals, 3 assists in 2017) and sophomore Clara Roth (6 goals, 12 assists). “Sophia is back for her senior year, and we have Clara Roth who did a nice job on the back half of the season for us; those two pair up

nicely,” said Tagliente, noting that sophomore Emma Street (2 goals) and junior Taylor Nolan (2 goals) along with freshmen Ali McCarthy and Zoe Shephard will also see time up top for the Tigers. Seniors Elise Wong (2 goals) and Nicole Catalino along with sophomores Juliana Tornetta (5 goals, 13 assists) and Mary Kate Neff (8 goals, 3 assists) give Princeton a nice quartet in the midfield. “Elise and Nicole are central midfielders along with Juliana as well as Mary Kate Neff,” said Tagliente, who will also use freshman Hannah Davey and senior Jane Donio-Enscoe (2 goals, 1 assist) in the midfield. “We have got a deeper rotation through the middle; I think the four of them will all be on the field at times.” Junior Maddie Bacskai (4 goals), the 2017 Ivy Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team All-American, will spearhead the Tiger back line. “Maddie Bacskai is our center back. When you have a strong player as a central defender that can outlet and play through line with bigger balls to strikers but also has the ability to play small out of the back, it is a benefit,” said Tagliente, whose defensive unit will also include senior Annabeth Donovan (1

LAYING IT ON THE LINE: Princeton University field hockey goalie Grace Baylis makes a diving save in a game last fall. Junior star Baylis, an honorable mention All-Ivy League selection in 2017, has started every game the last two seasons.

(Photo by Frank Wojciechowski) assist), junior Carlotta von Gierke (3 assists), and freshman Gabby Andretta. “Her biggest asset is her defensive ability. She is an incredible defender on the ball in terms of her tackling.” Junior goalie Grace Baylis, who posted a goals against average of 1.93 with five shutouts in 2017, has emerged as a big asset for the Tigers. “Grace has been a big voice on and off the field; she has has a lot of charisma and plays with her heart,” said Tagliente. “She is really the backbone to our leadership. For a goalkeeper, she is not big, so she relies a lot on her speed and quickness, her ability to react, and her intellect. If she plays to her strengths, she will be great.”

In Tagliente’s view, Princeton has the potential to produce a great fall even if it hits some bumps in the road as it faces a number of top10 foes in the first month of the season. “We need to stay in the present; this first stretch is always mentally and physically challenging,” said Tagliente.

“That is the key; getting through this stretch, growing, and getting better. If we went undefeated in this stretch here and went downhill at the end, that would be all for naught. The focus is on improving and growing to be at our best come November.” —Bill Alden

PU Men’s Soccer Aiming to Be in Ivy Title Race, Confident That Depth Can Make the Difference Facing a grueling stretch of games to open the 2018 campaign, it is going to be all hands on deck right from the start for the Princeton Un iversit y men’s soccer team. “We have seven games in 20 days in the beginning of the season, and we are going to need to go deep,” said Princeton head coach Jim Barlow, who is heading into his 23rd season guiding the Tigers. “We are going to need a lot of bodies.” In Barlow’s view, the Tigers have the depth and skill to deal with the challenging schedule. “I think this is going to possibly be the deepest team we have had; we feel like we have got options in every position,” said Barlow, who guided the Tigers to a 6-7-4 overall record and 2-3-2 Ivy League in 2017. “Even with guys out with injuries, the level has been high. We were able to look at all of the new guys yesterday in a scrimmage against Columbia and they did great. We won 1-0.” Pr inceton features numerous options at forward. “There are six or seven guys who are very, very close right now,” said Barlow, noting that senior Jeremy Colvin (5 goals, 3 assists in 2017), senior co-captain Sean McSherry (1 assist), junior Ben Martin, junior Sean McGowan, and sophomore Gaby Paniagua (2 goals ) could see action up top along with promising freshmen Truman Gelnovatch and Ryan Clare. “When we made changes in the game yesterday, there was not dip on the level, and sometimes there was an increase in the level. We are pretty optimistic about the

depth that we have and up front is one of the places where I think we have it.” The Tigers also appear to have a logjam of talent in the midfield. “There is a very deep group in midfield too; when we made changes in the middle of the midfield against Columbia, the guys we brought on did really well,” said Barlow, who is looking for a big contribution from such returning veterans as junior Danny Hampton, sophomore Frankie DeRosa (1 goal), senior Bryan Prudil (2 assists), sophomore Kevin O’Toole (1 goal, 2 assists), and Colvin. Two freshmen, Moulay Hamza Kanzi Belghiti and Kazu Shigenobu, bring a lot of talent to the table. “Moulay Hamza is special; he has got an unbelievable engine and has very clever ideas,” said Barlow, noting that Kanzi Belghiti has trained with the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer (MLS). “Kazu has done really well with the N.Y. Red Bulls Academy and has even gotten some playing time with the Red Bull USL team.” Along the back line, the pair of junior Ben Issroff (1 goal) and sophomore Richard Wolf along with newcomers Ben Bograd and Alex Charles should see a lot of time. “Benji and Wolf started at center back last night. They are both a little banged up, so we only played them 30-45 minutes,” said Barlow, who will also be giving minutes to junior Cole Morokhovich (1 assist), sophomore Michael Osei Wusu, junior Bobby Hickson (2 goals, 1 assist), and senior Henry Martin. “The two freshman center

backs, Ben Bograd and Alex Charles, who came in, had a really good day. To get a shutout against Columbia was pretty impressive.” Princeton boasts an impressive goalkeeper in junior Jacob Schachner, who posted a 0.92 goals against with four shutouts in 2017. “Jacob is a real solid, s t e a d y, c o n s i s t e n t g u y back there,” noting that Schachner is one of the team captains along with McSherry. “Jack Roberts and Mohamed Abdelhamid have both been pretty solid so far.” While having solid players all over the pitch is a plus, Barlow acknowledges that it can be tricky to keep everyone happy. “It is a good problem if everyone’s mentality stays right and they don’t get frustrated if they don’t get the call right now,” said Barlow. “The mentality has been good; everyone has been pushing each other, and while they are competing for spots they also have been able to put the team first. If we can keep that mentality and that kind of energy, I think this team can do some really good things.” In order to do some big things this fall, the Tigers will need to develop a steely mentality. “I think the key is how resilient our team can be; we let ourselves down in some key moments last year,” said Barlow, noting that all of the Princeton’s Ivy losses last season were by one goal and that the team went 1-3-4 in games that went to overtime. “When the going got tough or the game was on the line, we made some big mistakes and we were naive in some ways. I think we learned a lot from some of those experiences.” Princeton should be tough to beat if it plays to its potential. “We are an up-tempo team that can defend up high and make it hard for other teams to get out of their end,” said Barlow. “When we win it, we can put some good plays together with some urgency to get forward. We have got some solid athletes who are good in the air and fast and can cover ground so I think there are a lot of good pieces.” The Tigers will be looking to display a sense of urgency in opening weekend as they head to the midwest to play at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (0-0-1) on August 31 and at Bradley (10-1) on September 2. “We have just got to find a way to use the next four days to take another big step forward and get ready for Friday,” said Barlow. “Going on the road to some environments that we haven’t been to against good teams helps you deal with a lot of the stuff that makes you be more resilient.” —Bill Alden

Two days later at Boston University, Princeton had to hold the fort as it was outshot 12-7 but was able to pull out a 1-0 victory. “It was a tale of t wo games; the New Hampshire game was a game where we had a lot of possession,” said Princeton head coach Sean Driscoll. “We had a lot of the ball and we had a lot of energy to come back and win it because were able to relax in possession versus Sunday where we didn’t have a lot of the ball and it was a very helter-skelter game. Our defense was tested much more yesterday. It was good for me to see.” The team’s revamped defense was a constant as the Tigers accomplished the feat of posing two shutouts on the road. “In general on the back line, we tried a lot of new faces from the end of last year to the beginning of this year,” said Driscoll. “That was the first look at the next installment of our back line; they did a good job.” Senior star forward Mimi Asom did a great job, tallying the game-winning goal in both contests. “Mimi is wearing an armband, she is one of the captains, and when she is on the field she is playing like that,” said Driscoll. “She has been very, very good. She has been getting other players involved. She is moving the ball well, she has attacked well. She has been a weapon.” Pr inceton unveiled a new weapon last weekend in freshman forward Gabi Juarez, who tallied a second-half goal in the win over New Hampshire. “Gabi is very strong physically; she is an aggressive player who has not been fazed at all by the game,” said Driscoll of Juarez, who played for Mexico this summer in the U20 Women’s World Cup. “A lot of times, as a freshman you are a lit tle bit wide-eyed; all of our freshmen have been very good in terms of getting ready for college soccer and playing at a high level. Gabi scored a great goal off her head; she can do a lot of different things. It gave her confidence.” Junior goalie Natalie Grossi displayed the confidence that comes with being a two-year starter, making seven saves in the win over BU. “Natalie had an unbelievable game on Sunday,” said Driscoll. “They really pounded us in the first 20

minutes; she was very calm and very relaxed. She commanded the back line and was able to make some really important plays in terms of. getting balls off crosses and balls off corners.” Although Princeton didn’t produce a commanding performance in edging the Terriers, Driscoll liked what the effort said about his squad’s character. “That was a game that showed a different side to our team, which is something I needed to see,” said Driscoll. “I wanted to see if we could grind out wins. Good teams can find a way to do that, and we did. To our credit, we won ugly.” In opening the home portion of its schedule this weekend, Princeton is facing two good teams as it hosts St. Joseph’s (3-0-1) on Friday and No. 16 N.C. State (3-0-1) two days later. “The idea is to play under the lights for two games on our own field, with good energy about it,” said Driscoll. “I am looking forward to seeing that; I think we are going to be really tested. I

think at 3-0-1, they are very fair records. N.C. State had an unbelievable result, beating South Carolina; they were in the Final 4 last year. N.C. State is very, very good and St Joe’s is very good.” In order to get good results against such formidable foes, Princeton is going to have to raise the level of its play. “We have a lot to work on this week in terms of our attacking and our movement,” said Driscoll. “I am trying to integrate so many new people. Right now we are trying to figure out what is the best system, the best formation, and the best lineup. We have a lot of talent, but we can play better.” Driscoll is confident the that the Tigers will get the most out of that talent as the season unfolds. “In general, the energy of the team is very positive; the seniors have done a very good job of making it a very good atmosphere for the players on the team,” said Driscoll. “I love the depth of our group and I am looking forward to seeing what we can do along the way.” —Bill Alden

Most urban landscape soils are in poor condition. The soils are highly compacted and too low in organic matter, forcing trees and shrubs to grow under stress. Healthy soil biology allows plants to maximize soil fertility even in the harshest urban environments. Plant soil biology is often overlooked. Plants are living organisms that rely on partnerships with soil microbes to live and grow. These microbes, including beneficial soil bacteria and fungi, are important to plant growth, because they convert lifeless mineral soil into dynamic and fertile areas. In fact, the more stressful the growing conditions, the more important these biological components become. The biological products we use provide a natural systems approach to soil health, which assists the roots of plants, trees, flowers, and lawns to improved access to water, minerals, and nutrients, allowing your plants to flourish and reach their growth potential! Mycorrhizal fungi and rhizoshpere bacteria create soil fertility and plant growth: In nature, certain species of beneficial bacteria promote healthy plant growth and protect plant root systems from soil-born diseases. These “good” bacteria are called rhizobacteria. While common in natural set tings, their populations are often very low in our urban and man-made landscapes. Adding natural-based products containing Mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria as a part of a regular maintenance program will improve your soil fertility and improve your plant’s health! Bio-Fertilization along with our organic root promoter is a must this fall to encourage new root growth and give them a head start for spring.

Ron Fogarty helped guide the Princeton Universit y men’s hockey team from the ECAC Hockey cellar to the NCA A tournament, while Ian McNally has built the Hun School boys’ program into a local powerhouse as it has won five straight Mercer County Tournament titles. This July, the two coaches flew nearly 7,000 miles across the world to help grow the game they love as they took part in the ECAC Hockey/Princeton camp in China. For Fogarty, the experience reinforced his view of sports as a unifying force. “There are different languages and barriers but sports is a common language and there are no barriers,” said Fogarty. “You show them a drill and you break it down a little bit more than you would. Sports is awesome because it can pull people together from half way across the world, which it did.” In working with his Chinese charges, Fogarty emphasized playing together on the ice. They are very good skaters, they have very good individual skills but the they are below average on team play,” said Fogarty. “You look at all of the Chinese success in the Olympics, the vast majority is through individual sports. They are still trying to grasp the concept that it is a team sport and that you maneuver up the ice in units of five.” Fogar t y, who was also j oi n e d at t h e c a m p by Princeton director of hockey operations Kevin Moore, American International College coach Mike Towns, and ECACH commissioner Steve Hagwell in addition to McNally, tried to open the players’ eyes to being patient and opportunities to play in North America. “It is a late developing sport,” said Fogarty, noting that some players have left China to play for prep school and college programs in the U.S. and Canada in order to hasten their development. “A lot of the parents of 11- and 12-year-olds think if the players weren’t the best they say we are going to quit hockey when they don’t realize you still have six, seven more years to keep developing. It is a different mindset and culture change to understand what hockey is all about.” Off the ice, Fogarty gained a greater understanding of Chinese culture. “The Great Wall was unbelievable; I had seen pictures, but explaining the experience doesn’t give justice to what it is. The Forbidden City was immaculate,” said Fogar t y, noting that his group also toured the facilities from the 2008 Summer Olympics. “The best part is that I felt safe every day. The people were so genuine and accommodating; the perception I had going over was a 180 to the experience that I had.” McNally, for his part, has been intrigued for a while about the growth of hockey in China. “We get 400 applicants a

year from China at Hun and we ended up taking some kids who played hockey; from three of those kids, I heard a little bit about the Beijing hockey scene,” said McNally. “I learned about the Beijing Red Star team, which plays in the KHL in Russia. They are in their second year, it is some ex-NHL guys. I don’t think they are one of the better teams but it is a very legitimate program and it is running out in China. With those guys coming there and the Olympics are going back to Beijing in 2022, these things have spurred more interest.” With the aid of Princeton classmate and former teammate Kevin Westgarth, who now works for the NHL, McNally got wind of the ECAC Hockey/Princeton camp and let Fogarty know he was interested in participating and was ultimately added to the coaching staff. “T he first week I was there, we were in Beijing,” recalled McNally. “We helped the Beijing Hockey Association with their tryout for their select teams that go play internationally and then we did a hockey camp for four days.” After his stint in Beijing, McNally met up with Princeton senior men’s hockey star Alex Riche to work a second camp in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong. “That was a secondary camp ; it was still called ECAC/ Princeton with the same jerseys and there was still the Red Stars behind it because the women’s pro team plays out of Shenzhen in the Canadian women’s league.” While honing the skills of the players, McNally also sharpened his coaching approach. “What I got most out of it, especially in the second portion, was thinking a little more about what I am doing

out there and how to make it run more smoothly and make the players understand what is going on,” said McNally, noting that there were no translators at the second camp as there had been in Beijing. “It was a real challenge figuring it out, even the most basic things.” McNally is confident that the Chinese players got a lot

out of the camps. “We hope that we piqued a little bit of interest, calling it the ECAC Princeton camp. It was being billed over there as ‘here comes the Princeton program,’” said McNally. “The kids were coming from their towns, staying at hotels and going to the camp.” Based in his experience this summer, McNally is interested in making a return trip to China. “I don’t want it to be a one-time thing, I hope to come back,” said McNally.

In Fogarty’s view, the time is right for China to continue making strides in hockey. “They are going in the right direction, they are trying to get NCAA coaches to go back next year and I will partake in that,” said Fogarty. “Obviously with the Olympics coming in 2022, there is a big emphasis on hockey and they are making a big push to be relevant on that Olympic stage.” —Bill Alden

quality opponent on our home field. And second, we could not be more thrilled to welcome Coach Tierney back to Princeton. His success here has set the standard for the program, and he has remained one of our most loyal supporters since he left. It should be a great game, and we’re really looking forward to it.” Taking over a program that had never been to the NCAA tournament before he got there, Tierney coached Princeton for 22 seasons, going 238-86, with eight NCAA finals, 10 NCAA Final Fours and 14 Ivy League championships in addition to the six NCAA titles. He was a 2002 inductee into the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He left Princeton after the 2009 season to take over at Denver, and he has only enhanced his legacy during his time with the Pioneers. He has made nine NCAA tournament appearances in nine seasons and has taken Denver – which had also never won an NCAA tournament game prior to his arrival – to five Final Fours and the 2015 NCAA championship, making him the only men’s lacrosse coach to have won an NCA A title w ith t wo schools. His record at Denver is 122-36. Tierney is excited for the homecoming. “I knew this day would eventually arrive, and am thankful for the opportunity to bring together the two places that have allowed me to live my passion while incorporating my family, coaching amazing student athletes, and developing lifelong friendships along the way,” said Tierney. “My current Denver players have never been to Princeton, and the current Princeton players don’t know me. Therefore, both groups will look forward to a great Division I lacrosse game between two outstanding programs. We thank Coach Madalon for agreeing to host the Pioneers and know what a challenge it will be.” Princeton’s complete 2019 schedule will be released shortly.

Last fall, the Princeton High boys’ soccer team added a special chapter to the program’s storied history. Catching fire after a rocky start, PHS won the Group 4 Central Jersey title and advanced to the state final where it fell to powerhouse Kearny to end the fall with a 17-6-1 record. Despite suffering some heav y graduation losses, PHS head coach Way ne Sutcliffe believes that his current crop of players has what it takes to maintain the team’s winning tradition. “We have a good spirit in the camp and in the group; we have some really good young players who understand fully about the situation and the standard around PHS boys’ soccer,” said Sutcliffe, who is entering his 22nd season at the helm of the program. “They are showing good signs of being able to do their best to keep that standard high. We are enjoying it.” PHS will be featuring two of those good young players at forward in sophomores

Nick Petruso and Ian Pompliano. “Nick will be one forward, he really came on last year,” said Sutcliffe of Petruso, who scored some key goals for PHS in its postseason run last fall. “He spent the first two thirds of the season trying to get used to the demands of it all at that level; credit to him for doing as well as he did. Nick is going to have to find a way to score goals and find some game winners and important goals. “Ian is a good hold-up forward; he has got a good left foot. He has got good size and he is pretty good in the air. Those are the two primary guys right now.” A quintet of seniors, Atticus Lynch, Grant Luther, Josh Nieman, Sebastian Ratzan, and Van Lal Ven, figure to be important players for the PHS midfield. “We have Atticus Lynch and Grant Luther in the middle,” said Sutcliffe. “Josh Nieman and Sebastian Ratzan are out wide. Van Lal Ven is another outside mid; he is an instrumental guy.”

READING THE GAME: Princeton High boys’ soccer star Thomas Reid controls the ball in a game last fall. Senior defender Reid has emerged as the leader of the PHS back line. The Little Tigers get the 2018 season underway when they play at WW/PSouth on September 6. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Some new faces are emerging as instrumental players for the Little Tigers in the middle of the field. “We have Will Novak as our attacking center mid, he is outstanding,” added Sutcliffe, noting Novak played for t he P r inceton Football Club (PFC) Boca U-16 (2002) boys’ team that won their age group at U.S. Club National Cup in July. “He is more of a playmaker, but he can do it all. We have got another guy on that Boca team, Noah LaPoint, who is a center mid and he has done well to work his way in. He has had some quality minutes. We got another guy in the midfield Matt Cincotta, a center mid, who is a rising junior.” On defense, senior Thomas Reid has been doing very well. “Reid was the most improved player on the team last year; he was the only junior in the starting lineup, everyone else was a senior,” said Sutcliffe, whose defensive unit will also include senior Alec Korsah along with sophomore Brendan Coffee, freshman Myles Ryan, and the Parker brothers, sophomores Ethan and Dylan. “He had a great second half; he picked up right where he left off. Reid is great with everything that he does — the way that he carries himself with confidence, his patience with younger guys, and his competitiveness.” There is a good competition at goalie as PHS looks to fill the void left by the graduation of star Patrick Jacobs. “We have three goalies, Jared Bell, a sophomore, Spencer Katz, a junior, and our senior Josh Pletcher,” said Sutcliffe. “We have confidence in all three of them, they are working hard for one another and challenging one another for the position. It will be a season-long situation where they will be competing with each other.” While the Little Tigers don’t have a senior-laden unit, Sutcliffe doesn’t see any drop off in skill on the pitch. “We don’t have a large senior class but there is a lot of quality and we have a sophomore class where even though they are only sophomores, they are not inexperienced,” said Sutcliffe. “They have played a lot of soccer, they had a good freshman season. They are all club players. We had a good spring in the weight room with them and we have been training all summer. The alumni come back and play pick up games.” In Sutcliffe’s view, taking care of the basics around the goal and maintaining a winning mentality will lead to another good fall for PHS. “The keys are not relinquishing cheap goals, to keep as many clean sheets as we can; we need to get better every single week at keeping possession of the ball and really refining our attack and restart,” said Sutcliffe. “Most important, I would say is the resilience of the senior class. If something goes wrong or we have a bad run, never lose faith because it is just not acceptable with Princeton boys’ soccer. It has never been part of the culture.” —Bill Alden

Relying on Core of Committed Veterans, PHS Football Aiming to Taste Victory The goal for the Princeton High football team is simple as it heads into the 2018 season. “We want to win some football games,” said PHS head coach Charlie Gallagher, whose squad went 0-10 last fall. “I am excited about our coaching staff because we have put in great work and we are coaching these kids up.” Gallagher is looking to the squad’s older kids to set a positive tone. “The future is bright and we have good seniors,” said Gallagher, whose team kicks off the campaign by hosting Hightstown on September 8. “The juniors that we have are all players, they are all contributors. We are getting a lot out of them right now.” Two of those juniors, Judd Petrone and Jay Jackson are vying for the quarterback position. “Judd brings a lot of commitment to the program; he did a great job in the offseason,” said Gallagher. “He has a great work ethic and the kids look up to him, no doubt about that. Jay is a three-sport athlete, doing football, basketball, and lacrosse. He is a good athlete, he has a real big arm. It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.” PHS has some interesting options at running back in seniors Evan Angelucci, Doug Avis, and Jaylen Johnson. “Evan has done a really nice job; Doug came out last year for the first time and he is really committed to the football program,” said Gallagher. “He has worked hard. Jaylen is a nice-sized young man and did a nice job in our first scrimmage. He was pulling guys around. The bottom line is that it is going to take a couple of guys to tackle him or it is going to take one really good tackler.” S en iors Stephen Hen nessy and Tyler Komis have emerged as the team’s go-to receivers. “We got two guys that are definitely going to contribute in the passing game,”

908.359.8388

Route 206 • Belle Mead

said Gallagher. “We like Hennessy, and Tyler Komis had a great offseason.” Gallagher likes his battletested group of offensive linemen. “We have three seniors sitting at the spot right now w ith Drew Staples, Connor Coffee, and Tommy Tenslinger,” said Gallagher. “They all looked good in the scrimmage, which was real nice. Having those three guys is going to help out our line. We have got two or three kids in Fred Otte, Jose Espinosa, and Kevin Davila who are all players for us. They are going to contribute in some way; we are excited for those guys.” On the defensive line, the trio of Johnson, Coffee, and Staples has the potential to do some exciting things. “I think Jaylen, Connor, and Drew are going to be guys there that are really going to help us out there,” said Gallagher. The PHS linebacking corps and secondary will

also feature a veteran presence. “We have Tenslinger there at linebacker with Evan Angelucci along with Evan’s little brother, Dylan, and Ryan Benattar,” said Gallagher. “Petrone, Jackson, Avis, and Hennessy are at defensive back. All of those guys are two-platoon guys.” As Gallagher looks ahead to the season, he believes the program’s blend of experience and promising sophomores can be a formula for success. “We have a lot of two-or three-year starters and we are really relying on those kids,” said Gallagher. “We are getting those kids in the right position; we are installing some new offensive and defensive stuff. At the same time, we are coaching up the young cats to help fill the void. We have a slew of sophomores who we would like to get some experience. They are on the verge. We hope they step up and became players for us. That is where we are at right now.” —Bill Alden

Featuring New Faces in New Places on the Field, PHS Girls’ Soccer Emphasizing Team Chemistry With the Princeton High girls’ soccer team having lost a slew of seniors after going 10-6-2 in 2017, there will be new faces in new places for the squad this fall. “It seems like everybody is ready to step up and really contribute and fill their role,” said PHS head coach Val Rodriguez, whose team opens regular season play by hosting WW/P-South on September 6. “You graduate 11 and you don’t think anyone is going

We are excited.” Rodriguez is excited about the team’s offensive potential as senior Camille Franklin, junior Morgan Beamer, and junior Kirin Kunukkasseril along with newcomers sophomore Vanessa Ponce and freshman Sophia Lis are in the mix up front. “Camille prefers the outside; that is where I think she will find a nice home for

us,” said Rodriguez. “We have others like Morgan and Kirin who might see some minutes at forward and midfield. Sophia is going to be a standout up top for us, for sure. Vanessa scored a ton of goals for the JV team last year.

us and distributes the ball really well. We have quite a few girls that are in the running for the center mid spots. Molly Frain is in the running for the midfield. Vanessa will probably be a middie and Kirin is in the mix.” The PHS defense will be anchored by a group of battle-tested players. “Lauren Rougas is going to be back there, she is a junior,” said Rodriguez, noting that juniors Shaylah Marciano and Caroline Ealy will be handling the goalkeeping duties. “Grace Heilbronn and Greta Bush are both going to be good defenders; they came up midseason last year as freshmen. Kathryn DeMilt is a senior back for us.” In the view of Rodriguez, getting her players to come together as a unit is the key focus heading into the season. “Team chemistry needs to be No. 1; I feel for me and my approach, it can’t be forced, it can’t be faked,” said Rodriguez, noting that Rougas and Marciano will be serving as team captains along with Romaine. “It is that team dynamic that I had as a player, that all successful teams just have to have. You can’t win games in high school unless you take care of each other, on and off the field. We are trying to completely eliminate ‘me’ from this team.” —Bill Alden

Bruce O’Neill Bruce Andrew O’Neill, 53, of Lawrenceville, passed away August 25, 2018 in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Bruce was born in Princeton to John (Jack) and Elizabeth (Betty) O’Neill on April 14, 1965. He went to St. Paul’s School in Princeton and graduated from West Windsor-Plainsboro High School in 1983 after his family moved to West Windsor. He continued his education at Mercer Community County College and graduated in 1985. In 1985 Bruce began working for his brother at Stephen J. O’Neill Painting and then in 1996 he went to work for the Borough of Princeton alongside his father, Jack. Bruce, Assistant Superintendent of Parking Operations, served the borough for 22 years, and combined with his father faithfully served the Princeton community for 66 years. Bruce was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend. Bruce loved to learn new things, and as a result he had many talents. He loved cooking, fly fishing (even making his own flies), wood working, caning, music (especially the Grateful Dead), a n d o u td o or a c t i v i t i e s. Bruce was an avid cyclist for many years and was a former member of the Century Road Club of America. At one time he participated in the Anchor House Ride for Runaways, biking 500 miles for charity. His family and friends enjoyed going to see him race. He was a lifelong fan of Princeton University football, basketball, and hockey. Over the years he enjoyed going to games with his family. Bruce loved baseball, playing for Post 76 Little League in his youth and later playing for the O’Neill Painting softball team at Mercer Park. Of course, we will always fondly remember him with his Yankees hat on, as he was a true Yankees enthusiast and fan. Bruce is preceded in death by his father and is survived by his mother Betty O’Neill; h i s br ot h e r S te p h e n J. O’Neill; his two nieces and their husbands, Devin Garcia and Joaquin Garcia and Morgan Barton and Michael Barton; and his grandnephew Tanner Barton. The funeral will be held 9 a.m. on Friday, August 31, 2018 from the MatherHodge Funeral Home 40 Vandeventer Avenue, Princeton.

Kirby Westheimer Kirby Westheimer died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Princeton on July 17, 2018. Kirby was born on February 24, 1938, in St. Louis, the eldest child of Florence ( Binswanger) and Louis Westheimer. Kirby lived in New York City, Germany, Mexico, and Hawaii, per manently residing in Princeton for over 40 years. Kirby was a proud graduate of St. Louis Country Day School, Yale University’s Directed Studies Program, and the Harvard Business School, where he was asked to become a member of the faculty, teaching Sales Management. Always a diverse and creative thinker and consummate workaholic, Kirby sold magazines door to door in his pre-teen years, brought the Mexican Jumping Bean to the States when he was just 21, and by the time he was 23, penned a column on the elderly, under the pseudonym of Arthur Lord, which was syndicated in over 180 newspapers across the country. These are only a very small sample of his lifelong accomplishments. Kirby settled into the banking industry, founding The Westheimer Company, an investment banking firm, which he was President over three decades. Kirby was a member of The Har vard Club of NYC for more than 50 years, forever enjoying the city he could never get enough of. Kirby was a world traveler, visiting almost every state in the USA and many countries over five continents. Kirby loved music, particularly classical and opera. History was another of his strong passions. He adored sculpture, amazed at the talents of the sculptor, particularly his dear friend Helaine. Kirby was a reader of every newspaper and book he could lay his eyes on, four or five at a time. His writing

Wells Tree & Landscape, Inc

and vocabulary skills were no less incredible. Although Kirby excelled in the banking world, his true calling was teaching. Not a child nor teenager escaped his inquisitive mind. Many an eye rolled (which he usually saw and completely ignored) when his questions started, but they were blessed to have had his insight and advice, and have been inspired by him to forge ahead with their passions. Kirby was gifted with a remarkable brain. He was t irele s sly cu r ious ab out everything and everyone. Sometimes misunderstood by the impatient or judgmental, he was an innate teacher, a generous, soft spoken, caring, and good man. He was a mentor to many, an intense but gentle soul who challenged and encouraged everyone who crossed his path, especially the young, to be the best they could be, work hard and get the very best education available to them, embrace their strengths, and help them set and achieve their goals. To further his attempt to ensure everyone he cared for never stop learning, his gift to everyone for every occasion, and many times just because, was a book, usually a literary classic, which he could recite from memory, line by line and word by word, or the current SAT study guide. Kirby was a voracious watcher and reader of current events. His understanding of our and most other countries’ political system was beyond admirable. But he was constantly bewildered and frustrated how such smart folks, knowing the importance of their positions, could behave so stupidly, with strong emphasis on the current administration. Kirby loved reconnecting with lifelong and dear friends, attending his High S chool and College Re unions, most recently enjoying his 60 th Reunion of St. Louis Country Day. Arrangements were hand l e d b y M at h e r - H o d g e, Princeton. At his request, a private celebration of his life will be held at the convenience of his family. Kirby’s profound influence and guidance will live on and continue to inspire his family whom he showed so much love to, and who loved him unconditionally and with all their hearts. Kirby lived a full, adventurous, and accomplished life, and found such happiness over the past decade spending countless hours enjoying family meals, while learning from each other. We miss him and his gentle voice immensely, and are forever grateful for the

lifelong lessons he instilled in us, which will be carried on for generations. Kirby so appreciated how Peggy Lee sang … if that’s all there is my friends … then let’s keep dancing …. Goodnight, Sweetheart.
