Princeton High School girls swim to second

Losing to Scotch Plains-Fanwood in state finals could not dampen teams pride of a successful season
By VITA DUVA
The Sun
For the Princeton High School
girls swim team, losing to Scotch
Plains-Fanwood in the state finals
might seem a huge blow to the
groups morale, but as the squad
finished off its 2014-2015 season
with a solid 15-1 record, these
girls have many reasons to keep
on swimming and smiling.
Yes, we may not have won, but
our girls swam fast and hard.
They went into that meet ready to
win and ready to do whatever it
would take. Scotch Plains-Fanwood just proved to be a deeper
and stronger team than ours in
the end, head coach Carly
Misiewicz said of her teams performance in the state finals.
This was the first time our girls
team has made it to the state finals since 2007, and I could not
have been more proud of them
and their performance. I dont
think any other team out there
has more heart and passion than
us.
The team ended up winning
eight out of the 11 events at the
state finals meet, but unfortunately, its successes were not enough

Special to The Sun

to carry it through to the end.

But for the third year in a row,
the team was named Mercer
County champions, not to mention divisional champions, sectional champions and, of course,
state finalists. NJ.com ranked the
team No. 15 in its girls high
school swimming Top 20, later
climbing the ranks to No. 10 by
the conclusion of the season.
It just really shows how much
the girls as a team have improved
and really reached that next
level, Misiewicz said. Overall,
the girls are such a strong team
and they really work well together. They come together and really
do what is needed of them when
it matters most. They have so
much heart, drive and determination.
One of the teams notable leaders this season and a role model
to the younger swimmers on the
team was junior Madeleine
Deardorff.
Deardorff is always smiling,
and she will do whatever it takes
to win. She is a fighter and will do
anything in her power to make
sure
the
team
succeeds,
Misiewicz said.
The athletic swimmer attrib-

uted the teams success this season to its ability to bond on a personal level. Deardorff believes it
was the relationships with one
another that really helped to
make the girls stronger as a team.
And with each win, we became more and more confident,
Deardorff said. The support system that we built drove everyone
to perform to the best of their
abilities, especially in our last few
meets when the competition got
really tough. The girls were always supportive, no matter what
place or time you got, and this
created such an amazing atmosphere to be in.
Looking to next year, the soonto-be-senior is confident the team
has the potential to go just as far,
if not to pull out a first-place win
in the state tournament.
Even though the team will say
goodbye to many graduating seniors this year, the girls will also be
seeing many returning faces, as
well as new ones.
My overall goal for senior
year is to leave the season knowing that there was nothing I could
have done better, that I and everyone else did as much as they possibly could, Deardorff said.

The Princeton Folk Music Society presents Craig Bickhardt

The Princeton Folk Music Society welcomes Nashville singersongwriter Craig Bickhardt in an
evening of eloquent and bittersweet songs drawn from dreams,
heartaches and hard-earned lessons.
Bickhardt will perform on Friday, April 17, at Christ Congregation Church, 50 Walnut Lane.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Show
starts at 8:15 p.m.
His virtuosic guitar work complements the songs, interweaving
folk, blues, country and ragtime
influences revealing why artists
such as Ray Charles, Johnny
Cash and Alison Krauss have
recorded them. Two of his songs
appear in Robert Duvals Acade-

my Award winning film Tender

Mercies.
When Bickhardt steps onto a
concert stage, he comes equipped
with his trusty acoustic guitar.
Hes also accompanied by
something invisible, yet everpresent: the stories of a lifetime,
vividly translated into words and
melody. A Bickhardt live set is a
mix of absurd anecdotes and personal confessions, accompanying
a well-stocked bag of original
tunes and the occasional choice
cover. His decades in music have
given his performances the depth
of experience his love songs are
sweet and poignant, his storysong narratives are true-to-life.
From the boisterous clubs of

Philadelphia to the country-rock

milieu of Los Angeles. to the picking parlors of Nashville, he has
immersed himself in the sights
and sounds of American music.
His songs reflect a life lived as a
rock band lead singer, a solo troubadour, a dedicated songwriter, a
husband and father.

Two years of the triple crown

Princeton High School speech and debate team flourishes
By VITA DUVA
The Sun
This year, the Princeton High
School speech and debate team
has really shined. Attaining the
triple crown for the second year
in a row, the squad has qualified
to compete in the three top national competitions set to take
place later this year.
While speech and debate has
traditionally been recognized as a
male-dominated activity, a record
number of girls have joined the
team as of late.

Police: Man allegedly steals

Princeton Review computer equipment
The following reports are provided by the Princeton Police Department:
On March 23, subsequent to a
call of an assault at the Princeton
Review, 194 Nassau St.,
police arrested a 68year-old male for robbery after a cleaning
woman observed him
inside the mens bathroom with computer
equipment totaling more than
$200. When confronted, the man
punched and elbowed the cleaning woman, then fled on foot on
Nassau Street. Police located and
arrested the man inside Starbucks Coffee, 100 Nassau St. He
was processed at police headquarters and charged with one count
of first-degree robbery and one
count of second-degree burglary.
His was bail was set at $35,000 full

cash. He was committed to the

Mercer County Correction Center in Hopewell after being unable
to post bail. The cleaning woman
sustained minor facial injuries
and refused medical treatment.

March 22-March 23, unknown

actor(s) left black scuff marks on
his garage door and dented it, and
broke off a waterspout drainpipe
near the door. The cost of the
damage was unknown.

On March 25, subsequent to a motor vehicle stop on Princeton

Kingston Road, an 18year-old male was arrested for possession
of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and obstruction. The Kendall
Park resident was processed at
police headquarters and released
with summonses. A 16-year-old female passenger was also taken
into custody and released to her
mother.

A William Livingston Court

resident reported on March 23
that sometime during the past
two weeks, unknown actor(s) entered her garage and stole four
boxes of statues and a cement

Stay local this summer

The message may be old, but its worth repeating, even if it is only early April

Dan McDonough Jr.

chairman of elauwit media

e seem to often preach how

important it is to stay local
for the summertime. And
thats because its true. The 102 days
between Memorial Day and Labor Day
weekends are crucial for the Jersey
Shore, which, no matter where you
live in our fine state, has a vital impact
on our economy.
The devastation that was caused by
Hurricane Sandy seems like a distant
memory, but some Shore towns are
still fighting to fully recover. Those
that have recovered still desperately
need visitors; they still need our support.
Beach Season 2013, the one immediately following Sandy, was not a good
one. As if rebuilding from Sandy wasnt bad enough, an incredibly wet June
kept visitors away from the Shore dur-

ing prime weekends. Sales for stores

that year in the hardest-hit areas were
off anywhere from 20-40 percent, according to state economic reports. Gov.
Christies office estimated companies
lost more than $63 million in business
due to the storm.
Last year got a little better, but it
wasnt back to pre-storm numbers. A
Tourism Economics report, presented
by the state Division of Travel and
Tourism, found that visitors to the
Shore rose 4.4 percent statewide last
year, but spending didnt keep pace, in-

creasing only 3.7 percent. Direct

tourism employment fell 1.3 percent,
the first time it declined since 2010, but
that was mainly due to hard times in
Atlantic City.
So whats the message here? Its simple: Visit the Shore this summer, visit
often, and spend money there.
New Jersey residents often take our
coastline for granted, but we should
realize how lucky we are to have such
a gem this close to home. So lets pay it
back this summer. As hard as it may
seem to fathom, there are only six
weeks until the official start of the
summer beach season, but there is
still plenty of time to plan your summer vacation at the Jersey Shore.
The beach towns need your support.
Lets all dedicate at least part of our
summer to giving back.

Lunch and Learn about

Sustainability Heroes April 10
On Friday, April 10 at noon, the
Princeton Senior Resource Center will offer a Lunch and Learn
presentation on Sustainability
Heroes, presented by Diane Landis, executive director of Sustainable Princeton.
The stated mission of Sustainable Princeton is to work collaboratively with local residents, businesses, schools and community
organizations to reduce in a
measurable way the Princeton
communitys energy use, waste
and impact on the natural environment. In the ideal world, the
sustainable model of living and
working in such a way as to minimize our carbon footprint
while maximizing energy efficiency will become a way of life
for everyone in the community,
reflecting Sustainable Princetons
motto: Change a habit, change
the world.
Sometimes its hard to know

where each of us can begin to

make changes that will actually
make a difference, not just at
home, but in the greater environment as well.
Landis, whose background in
journalism and as a community
organizer made for a natural
segue into her work at Sustainable Princeton, will introduce

Cleaning the battlefield

JOHN LIEN/Special to The Sun

Welcoming spring, the Princeton Battlefield Society invited the

public to roll up their sleeves in cleaning the area around the
Thomas Clarke House last week at Princeton Battlefield State
Park. Lucking out on the weather, a key part of the cleanup was
removing bamboo, an invasive species that got into the park.
The Thomas Clarke House was witness to the Battle of Princeton on Jan. 3, 1777, and became a battle hospital for both
British and American soldiers. Phase one, stabilization of the
house structural framing, was completed last fall. Work continues on Phase II this spring.

During the Marine Mammal
Rescue program, Sarah Miele,
education coordinator at The Marine Mammal Stranding Center,
and intern Samantha Leinberger
helped children explore the mysterious lives of marine mammals
and sea turtles. Children learned
about the problems facing not
only these creatures, but also the
marine environment as a whole.
MMSC also had the ability to perform a delayed-feed through
PPLs cameras to show the six inhouse animals at their facility.
The kids were very interested
in everything we showed them.
After the talk, I also invited the
kids to come up and get a closer
look at all of the items that I
brought, Miele said of the successful program.
Raptors and Reptiles was a

snakes that are indigenous to the

live animals. I love reptiles and

course, enamored by the live animals, Kiefer said after the event.

what animals have to do to survive. Whether they have sharp
claws such as the raccoon-like
coatimundi, the sharp senses of
the fennec fox, the terrible teeth
of the tiny short-tailed opossum
or the ridiculous flexibility of the
ferret, all predators must be resourceful, alert and adaptable to
survive in the circle of life.
Also during spring break, middle school students learned how
to build their own WordPress

at a free, four-day course in the librarys Technology Center. Each
session included instruction, as
well as hands-on experimentation. Session topics included planning the site, WordPress basics,
incorporating pictures and other

pions. Two seniors have qualified for the TOC this year
Pragya Malik and Sinan Ozbray.
The pair works as a two-person
team in public forum debate and
has been ranked No. 1 nationally
for most of the year. The pair has
also won some big events this
year, including the Harvard
Round Robin, a prestigious event
where the top 14 teams in the
country debate against one another where the twosome took first
place, with Sinan taking first
speaker.
Surprisingly, it was only the
pairs second round robin, and
the first year PHS sent a public
forum team to the event.
Another notable win for the
duo this year was at the Lexington Invitational, an event comprised of 140 teams of two from
around the country. Here, Pragya
and Sinan went undefeated, winning all six preliminary rounds
and four elimination rounds,
marking the two champions of
the tournament.
The Sun had a chance to catch
up with the very busy Pragya, 17,
of Princeton. The student and debater discussed her partnership
with Sinan, combating stress and
advice for the novices.
The Sun: How did you first get
involved with the PHS speech and
debate team?
Pragya: A friend of mine encouraged me to sign up during
Princeton High Schools Freshman Club Fair. At the interest
meeting, I saw some familiar
faces from middle school. Having
come from a small school, I took
comfort in the close-knit community and small size of the club.
The Sun: Has speech and debate
always been an interest of yours?
If so, why?
Pragya: Since I was young, I
have always been drawn toward
the math and the sciences and
less to the humanities. Logical argumentation and strategy have
always appealed to me. I have always put a strong value on presentation and on public speaking,
as well.

The Sun: How did you team up

with your partner, Sinan Ozbay?
Pragya: We were partners sophomore year. Afterward, we decided to change partners junior year
and we each teamed up with a
senior. After the seniors graduated last year, we paired back up.
The partnership made sense because we had been good friends
and classmates while attending
the Princeton Charter School.
Throughout middle school, we
had always teamed up and
worked together on projects or
played devils advocate with our
English teachers.
The Sun: You and Sinan both
qualified for TOC this year, and
are ranked No. 1 in the nation.
What do you attribute your success to?
Pragya: While many debaters
focus on small parts of the topic
or finding large statistics to win
debates with, Sinan and I focus on
big-picture analysis. Since the format of debate in which we participate often involves parents as
judges, we also work on being
rhetorically compelling and improving our presentation.
The Sun: As a two-person girlboy team, what are some obstacles you have faced in this field, if
any?
Pragya: Being a part of a girlboy team is beneficial because it
provides a more balanced dynamic within the debate round and
prevents us from coming off as
too aggressive or too timid. But,
working as a partnership has its
difficulties and corresponding responsibilities. Working in close
proximity has taught us a lot
about the value of communication and collaboration.
The Sun: What do you do to
help each other prepare for an upcoming event?
Pragya: We talk about the topic
we are faced with and run
through various arguments and
discuss how they interact with
each other. We do this in a relaxed
manner, and often meet at the
Princeton Public Library or at
Small World Coffee. If we cannot
meet-up, we Skype.
The Sun: Since debate is highly
competitive, how do you learn to
deal with stress before a competition?

Pragya: Sinan and I, despite

being highly ranked, still get
nervous before every round of debate. We casually talk to each
other and to other members of
the team about non-debate-related topics before the round itself.
Pump-up playlists on Spotify also
play an important role in helping
us de-stress.
The Sun: As a senior, what advice do you give to the younger
members of the debate team who
are hoping to follow in your successful footsteps?
Pragya: Debate is stressful,
nerve-wracking and time-consuming. I hope our novices learn
to see debate as a fun and healthy
activity instead of viewing it as a
burden. It is impossible to get to a
high-level of debate without enjoying the essence of the activity
itself.

p.m.
Its OK to Die a Conversation
about the End of Life is the

Well-known as a patient-advocate, Williams-Murphy speaks
honestly and openly about end-oflife issues. She works as emergency physician at Huntsville

as medical director for Advanced
Care Planning and End of Life
Education at Huntsville.
After eight years in the emergency room, Williams-Murphy
concludes that most Americans
are unprepared for death. Families often dont know or dont
honor the wishes of the patient.
Making decisions out of fear or
guilt, they often consent to physicians urging to continue or introduce medical procedures and
tests that do not extend life and
interfere with a patients comfort.
