Library Renovation, Police Strategic Plan Among Council’s Topics Reports on plans to renovate part of the Princeton Public Library and monitor tour buses on Nassau Street were the focus of a meeting of Princeton Council Monday night. The governing body also heard from Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter and a member of the consulting firm The Rodgers Group about a recently completed strategic plan that will serve as “a roadmap for us to the future,” Mr. Sutter told Council. The Princeton Police Department’s 2015-18 Strategic Plan was designed as a flexible document to help guide the force, which merged the former Borough and Township departments after consolidation of the town, for three years. “For me, it’s an absolute blessing,” Mr. Sutter told Council. “It gives us all the tools we need to move forward.” Praising the Rodgers Group’s “professionalism and expertise,” he added, “I soaked up as much as I possibly could.” The plan identifies traffic safety and community engagement as its main issues. Concerns over information technology (IT) and accountability systems are also key, said Philip Coyne, who presented the report. Among the study’s recommended actions are that the department have a fully dedicated IT specialist, hire a public information officer, remove all crossing guard hiring, scheduling and supervision responsibilities from the Traffic Unit, research and implement body cameras, and have Traffic Unit personnel working alternate shifts aligned with data on accidents and citizen complaints. “This is not about policy,” Mayor Liz Lempert said in a press conference earlier in the day. “It’s more of an operational document.” She added that Council will not need to vote on the plan. Mr. Sutter said conclusions of the plan were the result of focus groups and research into the community. “This is a very pro-active approach to policing,” he said. “This is the community telling us what they need and us addressing it.” In his monthly report to Council, Mr. Sutter said that the swatting incidents, in which threats were called into local schools and other buildings over the past few months, have lessened. “There is a lull. But that doesn’t mean they’ve fallen off our radar,” he said, adding that investigation into the incidents is still active. Continued on Page 14

Tear-Downs Indicate Healthy Home Sales Market
To many Princeton residents it seems that no matter where you turn, an old house is being torn down to make way for a new — and usually much larger — residential structure. According to market trends, new listings in Princeton are up by over 10 percent this year as compared to 2014. Neal A. Snyder, CTA, tax assessor for the municipality, has seen an increase in the number of tear downs in recent years. The Bordentown resident has been Princeton’s Tax Assessor for 12 years and he sees the increase in new homes being bought and sold in Princeton as a positive thing for the town. Tear downs are a result of a dearth of vacant lots, he said. “There was a downward trend in the late 2000s but there has been a turnaround and there is currently a boom with builders coming in and new homes being bought and sold. Homes are appreciating in Princeton and as they do, the ratio I use to assess property taxes goes down. Princeton is a desirable place to live and is a safe investment for home builders who are, after all, out to make money.” “For 2015, the property tax assessment ratio (assessment to sale price) is 91.23 percent of market value,” said Mr. Snyder, adding that in 2014, the ratio was 93.23 percent.
Kevin Wilkes of Princeton Design Guild (PDG) has also noted the increase in tear downs in recent years, which he attributes to the increasing value of Princeton homes and the widening gulf between expectations of higher income buyers and the average or poor condition of many post World War II homes built cheaply and lived in for 30 to 50 years by professional couples, now aging, for whom necessary updating and maintenance over the past 15 years of their lives (their senior years) has proved impossible. “The real estate market in Princeton sustains a pricing premium for all new construction,” said Mr. Wilkes. “Families today want an open first floor plan with kitchen and dining and family living all woven into a fabric of collective family enjoyment. Princeton’s collection of post World War II ranch houses, center hall colonials,
and split levels are often cramped in size with tiny kitchens off in a rear corner and stairs and fireplaces dividing up the space in discrete little boxes that people want to open up for a modern lifestyle.” New and larger homes mean more taxes collected by the municipality. “When a small house is torn down and replaced by a bigger one, there is an increase in assessment of the home,” explained Mr. Snyder. “The revised assessment is based on the market value of the new home, which is itself influenced by the value of similar like-kind homes.” As most homeowners know, there are two components to the assessment, the value of the land and the value of the building itself. And because properties in different parts of Princeton are assessed differently based on land values Continued on Page 8
Princeton Campus Is Hardly Quiet While Students Are on Summer Break Once Princeton University’s spring term ended last month, the annual exodus of students left the dormitories, dining halls, and classroom buildings empty — but not for long. Starting in early June, a different crop of pupils began arriving for a slew of summer programs that have kept the campus humming with activity.
There are budding biologists, physicists, journalists, mathematicians, ballet dancers, pianists, athletes, and policymakers learning and interacting on the campus this summer. They come from as close as Trenton and as far as Asia. Many are high-school age; some are younger Continued on Page 8

Topics In Brief
A Community Bulletin Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson issued an injunction Tuesday stopping all construction activity on the Institute for Advanced Study’s faculty housing project until she hears arguments on September 3. Work on the controversial housing project has been on hold since last month, when the Institute agreed to stop preparations for construction after the Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society complained that the planned flattening and regrading would be destructive to the historic Princeton Battlefield State Park, which is close to the seven-acre site. “While we are disappointed with the ruling, we respect Judge Jacobson’s decision regarding the temporary injunction,” reads a statement issued by the Institute. “We welcome her acceleration of the scheduled hearing for the Battlefield Society’s remaining appeal of the Princeton Planning Board’s approval of our project. We remain confident that the project will proceed as planned. Attorney Bruce Afran, who represents the Battlefield Society, said he asked for a hearing last month to block further activity, and the Institute signed a consent agreement to temporarily halt construction. “This has turned it from an agreement to a court order,” he said of the ruling on Tuesday. “This is significant because Judge Jacobson said today that she finds any activity at this stage will cause irreparable harm to the site, and that’s an important step in protecting the Battlefield site.” Judge Jacobson made her ruling from the bench, which had not been issued at press time. A detailed article will appear next week. The entire issue of Town Topics is now available online at www.towntopics.com.

Greg Napolitan’s Massive Wood Benches Invite Parklet Visitors to Take a Break Visitors to Princeton’s first “Parklet” located across two parking spots in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street are not only delighted by the concept and design of the space. They are intrigued by the hand behind two enormous wood benches, each of which has been carved from a single block of wood.
The benches, a delight to look at and to sit upon, are the work of classicallytrained fine artist Greg Napolitan. Although Mr. Napolitan studied illustration at Philadelphia College of Art (now University of the Arts) and the New England College of Fine Ar ts, these days he’s more likely to be found wielding a chain saw than the pen of an illustrator.
weekend. The benches were carved from t wo pieces of Elm wood, said Mr. Napolitan, who had a short lead time to produce the work from two enormous logs provided by local landscaper David Wells. While he often works out of his Frenchtown studio on Route 12 in rural Hunterdon County, the artist traveled to Princeton for this project. “Peter Soderman found me online and contacted me. The challenge was not just to produce something that looked gorgeous, it had to be comfortable for people to sit on,” said Mr. Napolitan.

It was a gift of chisels for Christmas when he was a kid that led him into his line of work in wood and in metal. His pieces are generally large in scale, and combine a deep love of nature with an attempt to push the limits of his own imagination. Each piece is one of a kind. The artist was invited to participate in the Parklet project by Princeton’s Peter Soderman, a member of the original design team. “The actual structure was built by George Akers and designed by Kirsten Thoft,” said Maria Evans, artistic director of the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP). According to Ms. Evans, it was an initiative by Mayor Liz Lempert that led to the Parklet. Ms. Lempert contacted Arts Council of Princeton (ACP) Director Jeff Nathanson and together the ACP and the municipality took on the project. Ms Evans contacted Jessica Dhurrie of Small World on Witherspoon Street, which had taken part in “National Takeover a Parking Space Day” last fall and then Ms. Dhurrie’s builder husband George Akers and artist Mr. Soderman got involved. Mr. S o der ma n is wel l known around town for his work on past urban renewal projects such as Herban Garden, Writers Block, Quark Park, and Eno Terra. Local architect Kristen Thoft did the drawings and the municipal Department of Public Works built the street platform on which the Parklet was constructed by Mr. Akers and the Revival Construction Company at the Harrison Street Firehouse, over the course of a single

“I let the tree do the talking,” said the artist. Besides contemporary abstracts, he creates functional pieces stamped with his individual artistic flair — chairs shaped like eagles and carved vines and leaves to adorn fireplace mantels. Among his more whimsical pieces are those inspired by myth, fantasy, and legend such as centaurs and gnomes and The Jersey Devil. He’s carving a bear for one client for whom he earlier did a Sasquatch. Besides numerous pieces, generally commissions, he’s currently working on a likeness of Charles Darwin for a Princeton client. His work has been on display at Riverfest arts and music festival. He often re-
ceives commissions through tree surgeons such as Tamke Tree Service of Liberty Corner, and he’ll visit a client’s property to get to know their likes and dislikes. He charges $1,000 per day. The largest of his commissions took 18 days to complete. It was a complex and challenging piece of artwork depicting a phoenix with a fox, a hawk, and a squirrel, completed for a doctor client. The idea for one large piece that Napolitan created a couple years ago came from his father. Fourof-a-Kind is a fresco about 9 feet high and 11 feet wide depicting a pair of hands holding four playing cards, all Jacks. He’s priced it at $18,000, based on how long it took him to create. He tried to sell it to Donald Trump’s casino but their
budget was already used up and they didn’t buy. “It’s in my barn collecting dust,” he laughed. The one wood he won’t work with is Poplar, to which he has an allergic reaction. “It’s nice to carve but it gets wet, dries quickly and then is inclined to split.” Black Walnut is his favorite. The Princeton benches are Elm, which Mr. Napolitan weatherproofed using polyurethane with an extra ingredient to improve durability. “There’s been a lot of bottoms on these benches,” said Mr. Napolitan. “They are pitched for comfort and have drains so that rainwater doesn’t collect. Mr. Napolitan welcomes visitors to his studio and is happy to discuss ideas for particular pieces of artwork and to answer questions. For

Is climate change funny? According to Joshua Halpern, it can be. Finding humor in our environmental crisis is perfectly acceptable, the Princeton native believes, especially if it helps people process the magnitude of the situation and take action for positive change.

a well known professor of politics at Princeton University. He earned a master’s degree from the California Institute of Integral Studies in Integral Ecology, which combines “science, philosophy, psychology, justice, and spirit,” he said last week. He now lives and works in California’s Bay Area, selling raw honey at farmers’ markets and organizing his own brand of events related to saving the earth. Sometimes that means going for laughs. “A lot of times, humor can be appropriate at different levels and different scales,” he said. “One of the things I do every year is a future animals party, which is about endangered species. We dress up as our favorite animals from the future. You have this whole imaginary world you can create. It can be an animal we have now that has evolved into something bizarre and hilarious. You can use your imagination and it works really well.” Mr. Halper n has most recently been involved in developing a curriculum of workshops and teaching events for children and adults.

the final stages of a crowdfunding campaign to raise $2,500 to further his mission. The campaign ends on Sunday. Local residents will remember Mr. Halpern from his years as produce coordinator for the Whole Earth Center. A film he made about organic farming (he is a graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts with a degree in film) was screened at Whole Earth and at the Princeton Public Library’s Princeton Environmental Film Festival in 2009. Mr. Halpern credits his parents, and his father’s garden, with his appreciation of the natural world. “My Dad’s garden is the first place I learned about relationships with the earth,” he said. “They also took me camping and to national parks, and that was huge. I learned a bunch working at Whole Earth Center, too. They’re tied in with all of these great relationships with farmers and connecting people with the food they eat.” Much of his current work comes out of his studies with environmental activist Joanna Macy. A current focus is on a concept he calls “solastalgia,” which he defines as “the homesickness experienced while one’s home disappears.” “A f ter my fat her d ied in 2011, we had to empty the house he had built on Princeton University land, where he had raised five kids,” Mr. Halpern said. “We

Princeton Native Joshua Halpern Has Unique Approach to Climate Crisis
DON’T SPILL IT! The walkways at Princeton Shopping Center transformed into a race course last Thursday for the fifth annual Waiters’ Race, sponsored by the Princeton Merchants Association. After Mayor Liz Lempert kicked off the event, 70 men and women from 15 local restaurants balanced glasses of water and BAI beverage bottles minus their caps on trays as they raced around the courtyard. The first place winner for the women was Mediterra’s Emily Najjar, while the men’s champion was Dan Speck of Witherspoon Grill. Coming in second were Kelly Ann Bamford and Mario Lorenzana of Teresa Caffe. Third place honors went to Lauren Sabogal of Blue Point Grill and Vandyke Garcia of Yankee Doodle Tap Room. All of the prizes were donated by local merchants. (Photo by Julia Marshall) had to empty the house of 50 years of memories. There are so many people around the world who have their own relationships with their homes. It applies on many different scales and severities, from foreclosures to regional droughts or floods, to climate refugees growing by the tens of millions every year.” Another major concern is the drought in California. “Our aquifers are being depleted quicker than they can be replenished,” he said. “And bees — because I work for a honey farm, I’m aware of the colony collapse and how much of an important
species that is in the larger ecosystem. And it’s not just the bees. Things are happening everywhere. They are saying the oceans will be fishless at 2050 at the rate we’re going.” The workshops and teaching events Mr. Halpern is currently working to fund, designed for children and adults, are through arts, music, and media-making. They can be anything from a two-hour session to a weeklong immersion in nature. “We’re developing a curriculum, both for kids who will be facing all of this and adults who can handle more aspects than kids are used
to,” he said. One of his upcoming events is a tour of the river where Berkeley and Oakland get their water. W h ile t he sit uat ion is grim, Mr. Halpern continues to press ahead for positive change. “What’s great to see is how much movement is happening in the face of such dire situations,” he said. “There are great outpourings of help, and attending to one another. And that’s what I’ve always been doing.” For more information, visit www.ecocourageous.com. —Anne Levin

and some are older. Programs are led by Princeton students, faculty, and staff as well as people from outside the University. “Being on the Princeton campus allows our students to feel there is a possibility for them to attend a school of that caliber,” said Jacqueline Glass, executive director and CEO of At the Well Young Women’s Leadership Academy, to be held at the University July 26-August 7. Now in its fifth year, the program helps minority high school-aged girls build leadership and problem-solving skills. “These are exceptional students, but they never imagined that a school like Princeton would consider them,” Ms. Glass continued. “Being there, experiencing living in the dorms, gives them the confidence and the idea that there are options to state schools.” At the Well is one of several organizations helping underserved students reach their potential through programs held on the campus. Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA) has hosted an annual Summer Institute at Princeton for 10 years. High-achieving lowincome high school juniors spend seven weeks learning how to gain admission to the most selective colleges and universities. Similarly, The Princeton University Preparatory Program (PUPP) brings 71 academically gifted, lowincome high school students from partner schools in Mercer County to the campus over three summers, with a goal of making them viable candidates for top colleges.
“The opportunity for our scholars to study here and to experience what the college campus is like helps them imagine themselves attaining admission and ultimately attending some of the best schools in the country,” said Jason Klugman, who runs the program. “They don’t live here on campus, so they have to bridge the two communities. We’ve had great results — our most recent class includes students who will go to Colgate, Middlebury, Mount Holyoke, Princeton, Muhlenberg, and elsewhere. And we have two alumni of the program teaching with us this summer.” The arts are also well represented on campus this summer. Some 60 aspiring dancers aged 14 and up, taking part in Princeton Ballet School’s Summer Intensive program, are boarding in Brown Hall while studying at the school in the Princeton Shopping Center. Younger dancers aged 9-11 don’t live on the campus, but they take their classes in the dance studio at the University’s Wilcox Hall. “Our studios here are full, so we rent Wilcox for our Summer Intensive Juniors,” said Carol Bellis, who coordinates the program for the ballet school. “It’s a lovely dance space, and the kids have such a great time there.” Pianists return each July to the campus for the Golandsky Institute Summer Sy mposium and Inter national Piano Festival, taking place through July 19. Performances for the public are part of this gathering for teachers and pianists who follow the Taubman Approach. So Percussion Summer Institute brings college-age

percussionists and composers to Princeton for a two-week chamber music seminar. And a summer internship program at Princeton University Art Museum trains undergraduate and graduate students in different aspects of museum work. Science is a focus of several programs being held on the campus this summer. Some 200 graduate students and researchers from 12 countries and 27 states spent a week last month at the Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center, now in it’s sixth year. Then there is the Center for Computational Intractability’s summer program in Theoretical Computer Science. An undergraduate research program in molecular biology is giving a select group of students from across the nation valuable research experience, while 26 undergraduates from Princeton and other institutions are making use of research opportunities at the Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment. Camp PA L S Princeton, sponsored by the University’s Pace Center for Civic Engagement, just completed a week-long sleepaway camp for young adults with Down syndrome. Programs for teachers include QUEST, weeklong summer institutes in science and mathematics for K-12 teachers. The University’s Summer Journalism Program, founded by alumni, starts at the end of this month and brings 25 high school students from modest backgrounds to Princeton for a 10-day intensive seminar. The University’s athletics department also runs several sports camps on the campus. “Being here on the campus really makes a difference,” said Ms. Glass of At the Well. “What a great experience for our students.” —Anne Levin

in different neighborhoods, it could be the case that an identical building put up in two different parts of the town could be assessed differently for tax purposes. Currently, said Mr. Snyder, there are 75 different neighborhoods in Princeton for tax assessment purposes, based on style, age, zoning, and other factors. As Mr. Snyder explained, “a small house that may have been assessed in the upper $300,000 range with taxes around $8,000, could be replaced with a new home that is assessed at $1,800,000 with taxes nearly $40,000.” Asked to explain a query to Town Topics by one Moore St reet re sident s ugge s ting that a newly built home which replaced a tear down was being taxed at a higher rate than the tear down, Mr. Snyder said: “The tax rate is all the same on all property; the assessment (value) of the home is much higher than what was torn down. By law you cannot charge a different rate for certain properties.” Each year the rate changes — based on the Princeton schools budget and that of the municipality and the County budgets — noted the tax assessor. “Assessments change based on additions, updates etc. and /or from the annual compliance plan, which entire neighborhoods increase or decrease based on the sale-to-assessment ratio in the neighborhood. Today’s homes, said Mr. Wilkes, consume a great deal more electricity than they did 50 years ago and appliances and heating and cooling equipment are much more efficient and offer many more features for comfort; windows and skylights are automated with better insulated glass. If the building size is too small, the mechanical equipment undersized and the floor plan
does not promote family cohesion, there comes a point at which homeowners are inclined to ask themselves: “Wouldn’t it just be better to start all over?”. When PDG remodels older homes, however, there is “almost always something salvageable,” said Mr. Wilkes. “Out of over 350 projects completed by our firm in the past 30 years, we have only torn down 2 homes completely in order to build a brand new home. In all other cases, we have found a way to fashion a new home using some of the elements of the home that pre-existed. There is great joy in bringing a building back to a vibrant life from a period of neglect; even if it has to be dramatically transformed, its youth spirit still lives inside.” New homes paying bigger taxes bring more into the municipal coffers. But don’t look for a corresponding decrease in your property taxes since there are other components to the tax bill besides the municipal budget, including a portion for schools, for the
Princeton Public Library, and for Mercer County. T he mu nicipal website (princetonnj.gov) has a section for the Tax Assessor’s Office. As stated on the website, the office has “a duty to uniformly value all properties in Princeton, so that all taxpayers pay their fair share of the obligations of the schools, the County, and the municipality.” The website includes information on how to ap peal your tax assessment as well as forms for Property Tax Deduction Claim by Veteran or Surviving Spouse or Service Person; Claim for Real Property Tax Deduction on Dwelling House of Qualified NJ Resident Senior Citizen, Disabled Person, or Surviving Spouse; Application for Real Property Tax Abatement for Residential Property in Urban Enterprise Zone, among others. The tax assessor’s office is at 400 Witherspoon Street. For more information, call (609) 924-1084. —Linda Arntzenius

Court Decision Against Morristown Hospital Has Implications for University’s Tax Status
To the Editor: A June 26 New Jersey Tax Court decision has profound implications in the pending legal challenge to Princeton University’s property tax status brought by four local taxpayers. The Tax Court decision held that Morristown Memorial Hospital is not qualified for blanket property tax exempt status because it treats many of its facilities not as strictly hospital uses but as profit centers, and therefore, cannot claim property tax exemption with respect to those facilities. The issue decided by the Tax Court is analogous to the issue presently in Princeton tax litigation and could result in the University losing property tax-exempt status with respect to its buildings that are not strictly educational in purpose. The judge in the Morristown decision is the same judge who will hear the Princeton case; he’s the senior tax court judge; and he’s not known to be reversed on appeal. The Princeton Council has taken a “neutral” position on the lawsuit. Whatever the rationale for Council members’ reluctance to get involved, regular residents of Princeton need not feel so constrained. Indeed, there is a lot at stake here for the local taxpayer, who pays about twice in property taxes what would be required if the University’s property were not tax exempt. Those who complain about high Princeton property taxes may do well to consider the argument that many of the University’s buildings have little to do with education and more to do with generating income through governmental grants (e.g., the Defense Department), the licensing of intellectual property to Fortune 500 companies (e.g., pharmaceuticals and engineering), and ticket sales to the general public (e.g., sports and cultural events). None of those University activities

To the Editor: The Princeton Senior Resource Center (PSRC) is very pleased to learn that Medicare has decided to cover people’s conversations with their physicians on healthcare decisionmaking. PSRC is participating in the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign, “Conversations of a lifetime” that aims to bring advanced care planning conversations to New Jersey communities. Princeton was selected by New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute as one of three communities to pilot this initiative. Participating organizations, including PSRC, Princeton Public library, goals of Care, and Princeton Health Care System are presenting programs to educate the public and health professionals about the importance of planning and having these conversations with family and doctors. PSRC staff are leading workshops to help people complete healthcare directives, facilitating a group called “Conversations on Being Mortal,” and assisting individuals with their questions. These programs will help people age 18-plus prepare for having these important conversations with doctors and family so they can confidently know how to make decisions that are consistent with their wishes when they are unable to do so.

have much to do with traditional educational function that property tax exemption was designed to support. Some University professors liken the University to a hedge fund. Others point out that the University not only serves the nation but the world. Whether in support of a hedge fund, the nation, or the world, Princeton taxpayers pick up most of the local property tax burden required to provide policing, firefighting, garbage removal, and a host of other municipal services provided to University students, staff and faculty and their invitees. On the face of it, there is an imbalance in benefit/cost impact of University programs on local taxpayers. To correct that imbalance, local taxpayers should consider supporting the pending lawsuit brought by the four Princeton residents. Such support is particularly important when the governing body is not really involved. The undersigned solicits contact by persons interested in exploring ways to provide such support. If successful, and success seems likely for the reasons expressed above, the lawsuit promises to do more to mitigate the financial hardship done by the town’s crushing property tax burden than has ever been done in Princeton by anyone. It represents a historic opportunity to modernize property tax law, with profound policy implications for Princeton and New Jersey for generations to come. ROgER MARTINDEll Patton Avenue

s the stress and strain getting you down? Stiff neck? Tight muscles? Not enough hours in the day? Sound familiar? All that technology was supposed to make things easier, right? Well, maybe. But it also has produced seemingly non-stop messages that arrive in enormous numbers via email, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Linked-in, etc., etc., and whatever the latest new high tech means of communication produces. For even the most technologically gifted and dedicated, it can sometimes be just too much! Caring Touch A little time for quiet can do wonders, and the handson benefits of massage have been known for centuries. Soothing tired or aching muscles, head and back aches, stiff necks, and the like are major benefits, and massage can also be a great stress reliever. An hour of
quiet serenity can often reduce the anxiety and worry over that ever present “To Do” list. “One of my clients says she is so grateful for the loving, caring, touch of massage. It’s her time for relaxation and meditation,” says Zhanna Root, owner with Max Chernyshov of Ultimum Vitae Wellness Center at 264 Nassau Street. Opened in April, it offers a range of services, including massage therapy, nutrition, and fitness. “We are establishing a wellness program, with the services of a nutritionist, chiropractor, and fitness exper t,” explains Zhanna, who is a licensed massage therapist in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, with additional training in anatomy and pathology. “Over the years, I have seen that one approach is not enough. You need to eat right and exercise too. We will also offer a meditation program on Tuesday
and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8:30.” Zhanna notes that “present time consciousness” or being in the moment is not only beneficial to her clients when they are experiencing a massage but also for her. “Giving a massage benefits me too. When I am giving a massage, I have to be present, be in the moment. I am totally ‘there’ in that moment.” Optimal Functioning Deep tissue massage is Zhanna’s specialty, and this can help clients in a variety of ways, she explains. “This is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It can help relieve certain common physical problems and bring the body back to optimal functioning. It helps with whatever problem they have, including restoring muscle balance, and helps clients get in touch with their body and build their muscles. I
HANDS-ON-HELP: “Major benefits of massage therapy include pain relief, such as headache and jaw pain, and help for tight neck muscles. It can also release tension and create relaxation.

custom therapeutic massage. It’s never routine, but geared to each individual. Everyone is different, and the intensity level of deep pressure massage can be different for each person. I also use organic oils, including almond, coconut, and macadamia. “We also teach mothers how to do infant massage. It’s the first communication with babies, and is so important.” Zhanna reports that clients include all ages and b ot h m e n a n d wom e n. “Many of my clients are professional men. They work all day on computers, and it takes a toll on the body. Many women also spend a lot of time on computers, and have the same problems. It is really important to take some time out for yourself and allow a professional to help you.” In addition to the deep tissue massage therapy, Ulti-
mum Vitae offers a special Himalayan salt stone massage. “This is an innovative healing technique using warm salt crystal stones to ground and balance the b o d y’s e l e c t r o m a g n e t i c field, central nervous system, and meridians,” explains Zhanna. “it is a new method, and the warmth of the stones i s t r a n s fe r r e d i nto t h e muscles. It’s a wonderfully soothing feeling. The pressure and tension is melted away from you. People are so relaxed afterward that even their faces look more relaxed!” On-Site Ultimum Vitae also offers 15 minute chair massages to help relieve tight muscles in the neck and back. “These are great stress relievers for people at the office,” reports Zhanna. “They are typically 15 minutes, are done fully clothed, and can be on-site at the client’s office. This can also include a scalp massage, which
can help relieve tension headaches, help you relax, and possibly even boost the hair’s ability to grow.” A number of special packages for all types of massages are available for six, 12, or 24 sessions; for one hour, 90 minutes, or two hours ; all offering price savings. Ultimum Vitae also offers a number of products for sale. Himalayan bath salts are known to cleanse and detoxify the skin, leaving it smoother, softer, and cleaner, says Zhanna. Also available are Himalayan salt lamps, Himalayan salt detox lamps, stones, and carvings. Zhanna is very encouraged with the response Ultimum Vitae has received in such a short time. “Since we opened, we have had wonder f ul suppor t. T he people are so friendly and open, and have been so welcoming. “I am so happy to have this opportunity. I love what
I do and enjoy being able to help people release their pain and help them relax. I feel I am making a difference and being a part of someone’s wellness. “Ultimum Vitae is a place
of renewal for the mind, body, and spirit. Spending time at our center is more than a luxury. It’s a tuneup for the body, mind, and soul.” Hours are currently by ap-
pointment, but eventually, a schedule of seven days 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. is planned. (609) 269-4543. Website: www.ultimumvitae.com. —Jean Stratton

sustainability initiatives. Environmental issues know no regional boundaries. From our rivers and streams, to our air quality, to transportation, to trash and recycling issues, these are common to all of the municipalities within a region. It simply makes sense to promote sustainability regionally and to tackle issues together. By uniting, coalition members can become greater than the sum of their individual parts. Members of the Coalition have collaborated on the Living Local Expo, the region’s annual “green fair” which was originally spearheaded by Sustainable Lawrence eight years ago and runs each March was a Food Waste Recycling event in October of 2014. With limited funding to support their activities, the proceeds of this year’s Farm to Table Fun(d) raiser will enable them to reach out to a larger segment of county residents and plan initiatives and education on a larger scale. Guest will enjoy cocktails and a five-course meal made from New Jersey ingredients and paired with Terhune Orchards’ own award-winning wines. Live music will be performed by the popular Riverside Band, a local five-piece acoustic string group. Diners will be treated to an overview of each course by the chef that prepared it, as well as an explanation of its wine pairing by Gary Mount of Terhune Orchards and diners will be sent home with local produce grown right on the farm. Terhune Orchards is at 330 Cold Soil Road. Cocktails will be served starting at 5 p.m. and dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $100 per person or $150 per couple and can be purchased at www.mercersus tainabilitycoalition.wordpress. com/farmtotable. ———

Council Meeting continued from page one
Tour Buses Handling Princeton’s influx of tour buses has been a topic of debate in recent months. The town’s administrator Marc Dashield reported to Council that an enforcement plan is now in place. For the next three weeks, a campaign to educate the operators of tour companies and the drivers of buses about where to park while their passengers are in town will be underway. Buses will use the existing NJ Transit bus stops to discharge and pick up passengers, and park on Alexander Street across from the Dinky train station instead
of taking up multiple spaces on Nassau Street. One parking enforcement officer from the local police department will be dedicated to this, with help from two others, Mr. Dashield said. “We will evaluate this after three weeks and then begin real enforcement,” he said, explaining that those tour bus operators who do not abide by the plan after the initial three-week period will be fined. Mr. Sutter asked that any citizens who see buses in the wrong place, in active violation of the plan, should call the department’s non-emergency line to report it. “I’m very confident we can address this. We have already been sending out officers,”
he said. Mr. Dashield said he expects to have a report on the situation at a future Council meeting, possibly in October. Library Renovation The Princeton Public Library’s outgoing Executive Director Leslie Burger told Council that a capital campaign, “2 Reimagine,” is underway to bring the muchloved community resource up to speed with current technology and library usage trends. “This has been predicated by the massive changes that have taken place in the last 10 to 12 years in how people use the library,” she said. Since the library expanded and reopened in 2004, the digital publishing revolution

has transformed the way information is disseminated. “You may recall what reference books were like in the past,” she said, eliciting a chuckle from Council members. “We still answer 75,000 queries a year, but we do it differently,” she added. “Content is up to the minute.” Library administration assessed the situation two and a half years ago and realized that the digitization of information allows for more open space. Ms. Burger said she hears constantly from patrons who want more room to sit, meet, and have quiet study. “For us to remain relevant, it’s time for some reinvestment,” she said. Some $3 million is needed to “turn the second floor inside out,” she said. Books would be moved to the outside of the space, with increased seating and small “collaboration rooms” in the center. A dedicated space for print and digital news media, a discovery center for digital exploration, a business center, technology lounge, and more robust wireless network are all mentioned in a brochure for the plan. The project is to be financed with private donations, and a lead donor has provided a $750,000 challenge grant of which the library is $300,000 shy of matching. About $1.8 million has been raised so far. Ms. Burger said. Furniture, fixtures, and the services of a library design firm would incur more costs, and Ms. Burger asked Council to consider providing a bridge loan against pledges that have been made to cover expenses before the pledges come in. This method was used when the library was expanded, and the loan from the town was quickly repaid, she reminded the governing body. As part of the project,no books would be thrown out, she emphasized — just rearranged. On a “purely selfish note,” she said, “I would like to get as much of the details done and underway before I leave in January. We’re pretty excited about what this says about keeping the library relevant for the next generation. What we’ll be creating is a 21st century experience for everybody.” —Anne Levin

When Greece “Meant the World”: Henry Miller, George Seferis, and the Lights of Athens The peace of the heart is positive and invincible, demanding no conditions, requiring no protection. It just is. —Henry Miller, from The Colossus of Maroussi f nothing else, Greece’s last-ditch stand against austerity has led me to the poetry of George Seferis, given me a reason to reread Henry Miller’s Colossus of Maroussi (1941), and reminded me of three “it just is” evenings of peace on the Acropolis, each on the same day in the first week of August, all in the space of six years. Miller writes of arriving in Greece on the eve of World War II: “I had entered a new realm as a free man … for the first time in my life I was happy with the full consciousness of being happy,” because “to understand that you’re happy and to know why and how … and still be happy … in the being and knowing, well that is beyond happiness, that is bliss, and if you have any sense you ought to kill yourself on the spot and be done with it.” That’s vintage Henry Miller — never go halfway, take it to the rhetorical limit, damn the torpedoes! full speed ahead! If there’s any writer anywhere who embodies the antithesis of austerity it’s Henry Miller. And in Miller’s Colossus, Greece is “the antithesis of America”: “Economically it may seem unimportant [those were the days], but spiritually Greece is still the mother of nations, the fountain-head of wisdom and inspiration.” At the moment mother Athens is under siege. While the front page of Monday’s online edition of the New York Times says the European moneylenders have reached an agreement on the Greek debt crisis, the story comes with a photo worth a thousand words showing a street person holding an empty glass, crumpled as if dead on the pavement in front of an Alpha Bank ATM where people are waiting in line. Celebrating the “No” Vote On July 5 Athens answered Frankfurt on the grand scale as the crowds came out in support of the “No” vote. You can witness the spectacle online (“Drone captures thousands of ‘NO’ protestors”), but as you hover above the seething masses on Syntagma Square, the Sound and Light show below is accompanied by ack-ack sounds on the RT video that make it seem as if you’re taking part in a bombing mission out of Austerity Central, unloading a wealth of munitions on the demonstrators. As you stare down at the scene, the cypress trees begin to resemble plumes of smoke from the explosions, and people appear to be running for cover. As the wheels of austerity grind on and on ten days later, such may unfortunately be the case, witness the scene in front of the ATM. All Sing Seferis Also online, you can hear Irene Pappas singing “Arnisi” (“Denial”), a poem by Nobel laureate George Seferis set to music by Mikis Theodorakis. Whether she recorded the song in 1969 or 1972 or later still, she’s giving glorious voice to the crowds on Syntagma Square in July 2015 and to the spirit of the amazing moment in September 1971 when multitudes of mourners at Seferis’s funeral spontaneously sang “Arnisi” in honor of the poet who had had the courage to speak out during the Regime of the Colonels. So it happened that the death of the man who, in Henry Miller’s words, caught the “spirit of eternality which is everywhere in Greece” and “is destined to transmit the
I
flame” inspired the first openly defiant public demonstration against the junta. Readers hoping to find a passionate anthem of resistance in “Denial,” which first appeared in the 1931 collection Turning Point, will be disappointed, however, or at best confused. The closest the words in the English translation by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard come to conveying the emotional richness of the song as sung by Pappas is in the last stanza: “With what spirit, what heart,/what desire and passion/we lived our life — a mistake!” The way Pappas sings it, the spirit and passion transcend the dead end of the last two words and the uninspiring turn of the closing line, “So we changed our life.” But then Seferis was writ-
lude free from the political tensions that had been building up for some months in Athens.” During a discussion period following a reading in New York, Seferis refused to comment on the political situation at home because he “didn’t consider it proper to criticize his government while a guest on foreign soil, safely outside the boundaries of the government’s displeasure.” It was on his return to Greece that he released the “uncompromising statement against the dictatorship” that made him a hero. Keeley’s note offers a glimpse of Seferis’s home life in an “unpretentious second-floor apartment” overlooking the grounds of the Institute, “the bookcase almost empty, none of the modern Greek paintings and classical
he doesn’t see anything from Aeschylus; he sees, in the plain of Argos, redskins while he hears a jazz trumpeter. That is spontaneous behavior. And I admire it.” On the Acropolis “Peace is not the opposite of war,” Henry Miller writes in The Colossus, “any more than death is the opposite of life.” What he found in the Peloponnesus was “sheer perfection, as in Mozart’s music.” He goes on to say that “there is more of Mozart here than anywhere in the world. The road to Epidaurus is like the road to creation. One stops searching. One grows silent, stilled by the hush of mysterious beginnings. If one could speak one would become melodious.” I found something melodious and mysterious and wholly unexpected on the Acropolis during three trips to Greece in my twenties. If I wasn’t thinking of Mozart in relation to Miller’s hushed, silent “peace of the heart,” it was only because I had yet to hear the slow movements of the Sinfonia Concertante and Symphony No. 40. Up where I was, resting on a slab of stone still warm from the heat of the day, all was silence and solitude, except for the sounds faintly rising from the city below, distant laughter, a car shifting gears, the clink of glasses and the sound of bouzouki music from tavernas in the Plaka. Taking it all in at nightfall, everything from the focal point of the Parthenon to Mount Lycadettus and beyond, I was sure that this was the most significant place on the planet. I kept thinking of the wellworn phrase when something “means the world” to you. That’s how I felt. It meant the world to be there and so it seemed each of the three times I came to that spot and looked out over the lights of the city. It wasn’t until the third visit that I realized that each of these special moments, these epitomes of peace and contentment and connectedness, had fallen on the sixth day of August. Ablaze with Light oward the end of The Colossus of Maroussi Miller observes that the Greek “is just as enamoured of electric light as he is of sunlight. No soft shades, as in Paris or New York, but every window ablaze with light, as if the inhabitants had just discovered the marvels of electricity.” In 1940, on the eve of sailing home to America, he has a last look at the lights of Athens, “an electrical display … without parallel among the cities of the world …. Athens sparkles like a chandelier …. But what gives it its unique quality, despite the excessive illumination, is the softness which it retains in the midst of the glare. It is as if the sky, becoming more liquescent, more tangible, had lowered itself to fill every crevice with a magnetic fluid …. On any slight eminence one can stand in the very heart of Athens and feel the very real connection man has with the other worlds of light.” As always the enemy of understatement, Miller suggests “that in Athens the miraculous light of day never entirely vanishes,” that “in some mysterious way,” the city “never wholly lets the sun out of its grasp, never quite believes that day is done.” —Stuart Mitchner The quote from “Denial” is from George Seferis “Collected Poems 1924-1955” (Princeton University Press), translated, edited, and introduced by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard. Keeley’s Paris Review conversation with Seferis appears as The Art of Poetry No. 13 in the Fall 1970 issue.
T
ing about the conundrums of a relationship; he didn’t set out to write a national anthem for the Greek soul. According to Artemis Leontis in Culture and Customs of Greece, Seferis “was probably unsatisfied with the loss of ambivalence in the popular interpretation,” with its “more upbeat message.” Nevertheless the music of Theodorakis gave the poem the “remarkable afterlife” that began when the “hundreds of thousands of mourners” sang it “under the watchful eye of the dictatorship’s police.” Seferis in Princeton Longtime Princeton resident, professor, novelist, and translator Edmund Keeley interviewed Seferis for The Paris Review in December 1968 after the poet’s completion of a three-month term at the Institute for Advanced Study. As Keeley observes in his prefatory note, Seferis was in “particularly good spirits because he felt that his visit had served for a kind of rejuvenation: an inter-
treasures that set the style of the Seferis home in Athens. Yet the poet was delighted with the place because it gave him access to a number of exotic things: changing trees, and squirrels, and children crossing the lawn from school.” Redskins in Argos According to Keeley, whenever Seferis began to reminisce about Henry Miller and other friends from that period like George Katsimbalis, the titular Colossus, he would “relax into his natural style and talk easily until the tape died out on him.” Seferis obviously appreciated the way Miller responded to Greece: “Of course it’s a great thing to have an understanding of the ancient authors; but the first man I admired for not having any classical preparation on going to Greece is Miller. There is such a freshness in him.” Seferis recalls giving Miller “a text of Aeschylus, when he decided to go to Mycenae. But of course

Art Trenton City Museum Celebrates History of John A. Roebling’s Sons Co. This year is the 174th Anniversary of the John A. Roebling’s Sons company, once the largest employer in Trenton and a world leader in the construction of suspension bridges. To mark the occasion, The Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie will present an exhibition centered on the business that was owned by four generations of the Roebling family over 112 years. T he ex h ibit ion, wh ich opens with a reception Friday, July 17, from 6 to 8 p.m., will be on view through December 6. Clifford W. Zink, author of The Roebling Legacy, will speak and conduct a tour of the remaining buildings of the Roebling complex in Trenton at dates and times yet to be announced. For
details, check the museum’s website, ht tp : //ellarslie. org. John A, Roebling started making wire rope in 1841 in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, and moved his factory to Trenton in 1848. His sons built the steel and wire mill and town of Roebling, in 1905. In 1953, the family sold the Trenton and Roebling plants to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company ( CF& I ). CF& I closed the Trenton plants in 1973 and the Roebling plant in 1974. Mr. Ro ebli ng was t he world’s foremost builder of suspension bridges in the 19th century and his bridges spanned major rivers when people said it couldn’t be done. His son Washington A. Roebling completed the most famous Roebling
THE ART OF SUSPENSION: Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie marks the 174th anniversary of the John A. Roebling’s Sons company, a world leader in the construction of suspension bridges with an exhibition from July 17 through December 6. There will be an opening reception Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. Clifford W. Zink, author of the “The Roebling Legacy” will conduct a tour of the remaining buildings of the Roebling complex in Trenton at dates and times yet to be announced.

bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, in 1883, and today it is an iconic national landmark. The Roebling Company built suspension bridge cables for many bridges over the next 80+ years, from Canada to South America, including the George Washington Bridge connecting New York and New Jersey and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It manufactured wire rope for many other uses — elevators, cable cars, tramways, airplanes, shipping, mining, construction, and ski lifts — and it made wire for electrical lines, telegraphs and telephones, wire cloth and screens, and pre-stressed concrete. Curated by Richard Willinger, chair of the Museum Society’s Collections Management Committee, the exhibition includes five large paintings from the Roebling company’s exhibit at the 1939 New York World’s Fair depicting the Brooklyn and George Washington Bridges and interior factory scenes. These paintings are part of the museum’s collection but are rarely exhibited. It will also feature a bronze plaque from the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair that commemorates the Skyride, an innovative and popular ride at the fair that the Roebling Company helped engineer and for which it supplied the wire ropes. Also on display from the museum’s collection but rarely seen are three boards showing dozens of types of electrical wire made by the Roebling Company. Artifacts in the display will include sections of wire rope, tools, artwork depicting Roebling bridges, and wooden forms used to make parts for the company’s machinery, as well as advertisements, photos, books, and company catalogs. Items on display are being loaned to the exhibit by the Roebling Museum in Roebling and several individuals. As the largest employer in Trenton for many decades, John A. Roebling’s Sons company had a major impact on the city and its workers and citizens. It had an international reputation for wire and wire rope making and bridge building, and its

Michener Art Museum, which has launched the new technology that takes online visitors inside the galleries and displays 13 works in super high or “gigapixel” resolution. Using Google’s Street View, visitors will be able to move “virtually” around the museum’s galleries and to study the details of the brushwork beyond what is possible with the naked eye in selected artworks.

Michener Museum Launches Google Art Project Street View
The James A. Michener Art Museum has announced that it is launching Street View imagery of its galleries along w ith 13 works viewable in super high resolution or ‘gigapixel photo capturing technology.’ Using the Street View feature, visitors will be able to “virtually” move around the museum’s galleries selecting works of art that interest them by clicking to reveal high resolution images where available. Each of 13 images contains seven billion pixels, enabling the viewer to study details of the brushwork beyond what is possible with the naked eye. Along with these efforts, an additional 25 high-resolution objects will be added to the already existing 90 objects on the Google Art Project platform enabling people through-

out the world to explore a sampling of its paintings, prints, photographs, and sculptures. A specially designed Street View ‘trolley’ took 360 degree images of the inter ior of selected galler ies, wh ich were t hen stitched together, enabling smooth navigation over the rooms within the museum. The galler y interiors can also be explored directly from within Street View in Google maps. The museum’s exterior grounds and sculpture garden were captured using a back-mounted Google Maps Trekker camera, a 360-degree Street View mapping tool. The museum’s collection includes a r ich her itage of artists of the Delaware Valley region, from Pennsylvania Impressionists to mid-century Modernist designers, to contemporary p a i nte r s a n d s c u l ptor s. Permanent collection exhibitions are grouped thematically in the galleries, including the figure, landscape, studio craft, contemporary and modernist, and outdoor sculpture. The keystone of the museum’s collection, a 22-foot lunette shaped mural created for the 1926 Pennsylvania Sesquicentennial, A Wooded Watershed by Daniel Garber, is represented among the many other works. Two special permanent installations in the museum include The Nakashima Reading Room, an installation of classic furniture from the studio of Bucks C ou nt y’s i nter nat iona lly known woodworker, George Nakashima (1905 -1990 ). The traditional Japanesestyle room was designed by his daughter, Mira Nakashima-Yarnall, and includes several impor tant furniture pieces in the Nakashima tradition. There is also a recreation of the office of the author and the museum’s namesake, James A. Michener. “We are extremely grateful to be part of this initiative, joining other major cultural institutions from arou nd t he world,” said Adr ien ne Ne sz mely i - Ro mano, project director and
director of education, new media, and interpretive initiatives. “It’s an honor to be one of the museums working with the art project’s cutting edge technologies. The museum’s par ticipation allows the public to see works that never have been on view and to visit our galleries virtually, and learn more about our collection. This is significant to our mission to reach a wider audience. The work of the Google Cultural Institute is an invaluable resource to the museum community.” “W hen presented w it h this opportunity, the museum’s staff responded with ent husiasm and brought their significant resources to the table to accomplish the work necessary to make this partnership a success,” said Michener Director and CEO Lisa Tremper Hanover. “We are now at the forefront of making our art treasures accessible to a world-wide audience.” Visitors to the Google Art Project can browse works by artist’s name, artwork, type of art, museum, country, collections, and time period. Google+ and video hangouts are integrated on the site, allowing viewers to invite their friends to view and discuss their favorite works in a video chat or follow a guided tour from an expert to gain an appreciation of a particular topic or art collection. The James A. Michener Ar t Museum, 138 South Pine Street, Doylestown, is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m. For more information, call (215) 340-9800, or visit: MichenerArtMuseum.org. ———

Grounds for Sculpture will host a day of art workshops designed specifically for children’s events on July 18 with four different one-hour, hands-on sessions inspired by the sculpture park’s current exhibitions. Sessions begin at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. “Art of Metal Relief,” at 11 a.m., is geared for children aged six to nine, who will learn one of the processes of working in metal known as repoussé. Attendees will design a piece that looks as if it may have been crafted by artist Robert Lobe by applying lightweight metal over a natural object, then working the metal to create textures and relief. Participants will be amazed at what they can create in this fun workshop, led by instructor Andrea Fiori. “Art of Assemblage,” also at 11 a.m., is designed for those aged 10 and up, and inspired by the work of Karl Stirner who transforms manmade objects into works of art. Young artists will find beauty in everyday objects, and then use these pieces to assemble an artistic masterpiece of their own. This workshop is led by instructor Libby Ramage. In “Art of Paper-Making” at 1 p.m., participants aged six to nine will use a material that inspires artist Lauren Clay and goes far beyond the limits of paper. They will recycle old magazine and paper scraps to create upcycled plantable paper while learning the simple process of paper-making. Paper made in this class, led by instructor April Zay, contains seeds and can be planted outdoors to sprout colorful flowers. “Art of Paper Quilling” also at 1 p.m. and for ages 10 and up, will demonstrate the technique of paper quilling. Participants will make amazing paper shapes similar to those made by artist Jae Ko. Guided by instructor Rachel Razza, they will create their own unique designs using quilling tools and will explore techniques including coiling and scrolling. The workshops, which take place in the Education Center at Grounds for Sculpture, 80 Sculptors Way, Hamilton, cost $12 for members; $18 for non-members. Materials fee is per session, per child. Students who pre-register will receive free admission to Grounds For Sculpture on the day of the workshop (a $10 value). These classes fill

Adapted by David Thompson Directed by Michael Unger
Times are tough in the Mississippi Delta, where cotton is king and the summer heat drives desires of every kind. Tennessee Williams’ 1950s film masterpiece, Baby Doll, was condemned in its time for its riveting tale of commercial and erotic vengeance. The American premiere of this theatrical adaptation will ignite the stage with its darkly comic, steamy tale of one delicate girl’s awakening. From the author of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Glass Menagerie, and A Streetcar Named Desire, Baby Doll is pure Williams, an enthralling tale of prejudice, sexual politics, and passion.

Shaw’s “Pygmalion” Features Battles of Gender and Class In Powerful, Captivating Princeton Summer Theater Production
T
here are reasons why Pygmalion has been the most popular and most famous of George Bernard Shaw’s plays. More than 100 years after its 1914 London premiere those reasons ring out loudly and clearly in Princeton Summer Theater’s (PST) striking production. Shaw’s fiery, intelligent language, his rich sense of comedy and his irreverent and searing social commentary all sparkle in this play, and the top-flight PST ensemble of eight with a polished professional production crew under the direction of R.N. Sandberg make the most of this brilliant text. Though much of its fame and familiarity can be attributed to My Fair Lady, Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Lowe’s 1956 musical adaptation (You might find yourself humming two or three of the tunes as you watch this play.), Pygmalion itself offers abundant riches for both mind and heart. It’s funny, fascinating, and highly entertaining, as Mr. Sandberg and his talented troupe boldly demonstrate. The performances here are consistently in character and credible, and the characters — from Cockney Covent Garden to aristocratic Wimpole Street — come to life with appropriately detailed idiosyncrasies and memorable force. Set in Edwardian London, the play focuses on the distinguished phonetics professor Henry Higgins (Jake Robertson) and the working class flower girl Eliza Doolittle (Bits Sola), who, because of a bet that he can in six months pass her off as a high society duchess, becomes his pupil. The title “Pygmalion” refers to the Greek myth of the sculptor who falls in love with his creation, but here the conflict goes beyond issues of artist and his creation or teacher and student to become a battle of the sexes and a sharp social conflict. Class differences, of course, are most blatantly delineated by individuals’ manner of speech. Mr. Sandberg, himself a playwright and Princeton University lecturer in theater and English, has adapted and “framed” the play — and deftly cut it to just over two hours — to zero in on the psycho/ socio-drama of Higgins’s and Eliza’s relationship. Pygmalion, particularly that relationship between Higgins and Eliza, has been controversial since its inception, another factor enhancing the play’s fame and popularity. Original audiences, and many audiences since, wanted a romantic ending. The producer and director of the 1938 Pygmalion movie embraced Shaw’s Academy Award-winning screenplay, but invented their own ending. My Fair Lady also chose the romanticized conclusion, rejecting Shaw’s resolution to the HigginsEliza relationship, despite his 14-page explanation at the end of the text of exactly how and why the story should end more realistically than romantically. Despite a number of cuts, Mr. Sandberg keeps the essentials of Shaw’s
original script, including the ending. Mr. Sandberg’s “framing device” emphasizes Higgins’s mental struggles as he reflects on his relationship with Eliza — first in a shadowy two-minute opening scene in which Eliza repeats over and over “I’m a good girl,” then in brief interludes between scenes where Higgins reflects with adoration and frustration on a flower given him by Eliza, and finally in a brief, enigmatic
postscript with Eliza and Higgins both onstage but scarcely interacting. Mr. Sandberg’s adaptation is intriguing and mostly convincing, but certainly controversial for Shavian purists who might well object to a certain romanticizing of Higgins, who, at least in his private interludes here, seems truly smitten with Eliza. Ambiguity, mixed emotions, even conflicted characterizations, however, all provide rich fodder for
WARS OF WORDS: Eliza Doolittle (Bits Sola) has successfully discarded her lower class background and learned from Henry Higgins (Jake Robertson) how to speak and behave like a duchess, but where does that leave their relationship and her future? Princeton Summer Theater’s production of George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion” (1913) runs through July 19 at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus. “Pygmalion” runs for one more weekend, July 16-19, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m., at the Hamilton Murray Theater on the Princeton University campus.

the ongoing discussion and controversy that has been a concomitant of this play throughout its history on stage. Jeffrey Van Velsor’s elegant set, with realistic well-appointed sitting room areas on far stage right and far stage left but the major part of the stage filled with six large white classic busts on pedestals and no fewer than twenty-one frames of various sizes hanging at different levels, contributes to the ambiguity and symbolic resonance here, perhaps emphasizing the allusion to the Pygmalion myth, with reminders of the artist’s creations and the empty frames within which individuals must independently create themselves. Alex Mannix’s lighting design and excellent, elaborately detailed period costumes by Keating Helfrich and Wesley Cornwell assist in constructing the stylish world of the play. Mr. Robertson, a high-energy, articulate, suave and witty Higgins, appropriately arrogant, rude and bullying, but mostly likeable for all that, and Ms. Sola, charming, outspoken, adept with her changing accents, strong and sympathetic in her battles to maintain her individuality and integrity against the sexism and class discriminations of her environment, lead the PST cast, made up mostly of recent Princeton University graduates. Maeve Brady’s Mrs. Higgins, mother of Henry, is a masterpiece of characterization, despite the two-generation stretch in age. Ms. Brady takes advantage of Shaw’s brilliant dialogue to establish this formidable matriarch as Eliza’s greatest ally in her travails with the “infinitely stupid male creatures” she must contend with here. “Oh, men! men! men!” Mrs. Higgins fumes. Evan Thompson is an adept and articulate Alfred Doolittle, father of Eliza and happily self-described as one of the “undeserving poor.” The character, pronounced by Higgins to be “the most original moralist in England,” serves admirably as one of Shaw’s finest satiric voices. Ross Baron’s Colonel Pickering is a suitable sidekick for Higgins, contrasting with the irascible professor in his respectful treatment of Eliza, who recognizes that “the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves but how she’s treated.” Caroline Hertz as Higgins’s housekeeper and as Miss Eynsford Hill, Kanoa Mulling as Freddy Eynsford Hill and Sarah Cuneo as their mother all provide credible and colorful characterizations in supporting roles. ygmalion definitely demands an audience ready to listen with sustained attention, but Messrs. Shaw and Sandberg and the spirited cast and crew of Princeton Summer Theater deliver an entertaining show that evokes loud laughter, keen interest, and considerable thought, discussion, and debate. —Donald Gilpin

homage to the actor who lost his life. Drama teacher Mr. Schwendiman (Travis Cluff) is now overseeing the project with the help of a student stage manager (Price T. Morgan). In the cast, Pfeifer (Pfeifer Brown) has been picked to play the female lead opposite Reese (Resse Mishler) who will be reprising the role of the ill-fated protagonist. Other critical persons of interest include football team captain Ryan (Ryan Shoos) and his cheerleader girlfriend Cassidy (Cassidy Gifford). Ryan is an amateur filmmaker who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. So, he constantly keeps his hand-held camera on “record.” That annoying habit might prove valuable should anything tragic transpire, even if the shaky images are dizzying to watch. These clues are all the police have to go on to decipher what happened in The Gallows, a found-footage movie co-written and co-directed by Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing. The movie is a worthy addition to the lowbudget horror sub-genre that was started by The Blair Witch Project in 1999. As in Blair Witch, the characters use their real names in order to blur the line between fact and fiction and thereby suggest that what you’re watching is a documentary. However, that pretense is undermined by the presence of Cassidy Gifford in the movie, since it’s hard to believe that the daughter of Frank and Kathy Lee Gifford was raised in rural Nebraska. Nonetheless, she delivers a decent performance as a terrified coed. Very Good (HHH). Rated R for terror and disturbing violence. Running time: 81 minutes.

Variety of Women’s Life-Style Clothing Now Available at New Bella Boutique
F
ashion was a passion for Christina DiDonato from the time she was a young girl. The creativity and ingenuity involved in putting together stylish outfits intrigued and inspired her at an early age. Now, she has been able to fulfill her dream of having her own women’s boutique, where she can help customers achieve their own fashion look.
IT’S NEW To Us
Bella Boutique opened in the Princeton Shopping Center in April, and it has been an immediate success. “We have been so busy,” says Ms. DiDonato, with a smile. “The customer response has been incredible, and it has definitely exceeded our expectations.” Co-owner with her husband Adriano DiDonato, who is general manager and buyer at the popular food emporium Bon Appetit, also in the Princeton Shopping Center, Ms. DiDonato is very pleased to be in this location. “A big plus here is the easy accessibility and very convenient parking for customers. Also, Adriano is an entrepreneur, and he en-
couraged me to do my own thing. He and I both have an intense work ethic, so we were ready to take this on.” It was also very important for Ms. DiDonato to offer a uniquely pleasing environment for her shoppers. The boutique’s setting, with stone -paneled walls and Mediterranean-style motif, provides a very comfortable sense of space in a relatively small area. The fitting rooms with wrought iron appointments add to the overall charm of the boutique’s inviting ambiance. “This spot was available in the shopping center, and we wanted to be most effective in a small amount of space,” explains Ms.DiDonato, who also designed the interior. “I love piecing together outfits all day, and I loved piecing together the room. I knew I wanted texture, and I wanted to have stone as part of the interior. “I wanted a Mediterranean feel in my design — that’s my theme,” she continues. “The inspiration for the decor is Italy and Greece, reflecting Adriano’s and my roots personally. There are photos on the wall that I took in Italy, with the stone creating a Roman yet modern texture, along with succulents, other plants, wood, dark leather, etc.
Mixing materials to create an intriguingly unexpected look interests her, she adds. “For example, I love to mix fur with cashmere and leather.” Ms. DiDonato’s prior experience as a buyer and manager at Rouge, the popular women’s shop on Witherspoon Street, has been important to her in establishing her own place, she points out. And she is pleased that her former colleague, Crista Baker, is now manager at Bella Boutique. “The experiences at Rouge were invaluable to our success here. Crista and I always had a good time at Rouge, and it’s so nice we can come together in this new adventure. People associate us together.” And what customers associate with Bella Boutique is its wonderful selection of high end fashion choices. Its sizes, small through large, and styles are attractive to women of all ages, says Ms. DiDonato. “We appeal to all ages. Moms bring in their teen daughters, and we have granddaughters coming in with grandmothers. It’s everyone!” What customers like is the variety, style, and comfort of the selection. “We are really filling a need in Princeton,” explains Ms. DiDonato. “Our clothes are life-style, con-

temporary day-to-evening, and very transitional. It’s futuristic fashion, comfortable, yet trendy, “Fashion today is across the board,” she continues. “It’s personal freedom. Long to short in length. Dresses are mini to maxi to full length. It’s everything.” Among the important designers at Bella Boutique are Velvet, AG Jeans, 360 Sweater, Joie, Calypso St Barth, Sundry Rory Becci, Yoana Baraschi, Tart, and Brochu Walker. Also, Gigi NY handbags, made in New York, and Joie and Jack Rogers shoes. “It’s an eclectic mix of designers, and most are American,” reports Ms. DiDonato. Versatility and flexibility are key, she adds. “Many of the dresses can be worn by slender or by more fullfigured women, and we have tunics that can be worn as dresses by a petite person or as cover-ups on someone taller.” One example is a charming Calypso mint green tunic with white embroidery at the neck and hem. Another wonderful Calypso tunic in sand features gold sequins at the neck and on the sleeves. A super-soft fine-gauged cashmere sweater in white from Velvet is an absolute “must have”, and the line of T-shirts from Good hYouman offers a variety of colors, featuring sentiments, such as “Fam ily / Ever y t h ing”, “Breathe”, and “Care”. A portion of the T-shirt sales goes to cancer research. Soft denim jeans, including the favored distressed look, continue to be very popular, and as Ms. DiDonato points out regarding the latter, “The most popular question I get is, ‘Am I too old for this?’ to which I respond, ‘It’s all in how you style it.’ I wouldn’t pair distressed jeans, a crop top, and six-inch heels together for a mother or grandmother. I would style those same jeans with a longer, loosefitting silk tank and sleek, flat sandals. I always tell my customers, ‘it’s how you wear it, not a question of if you can.” Color is very important for summer, she adds. “It is definitely the most colorful season. We’re seeing a lot of mint green, and the cold colors, such as blue, purple, and gray are always in demand. Also, black and navy are always in style and always popular. Spring and summer are definitely times

Soft dressing, which can be dressy or informal and transitional is very popular.” Adriano and Christina DiDonato, owners of Bella Boutique in the Princeton Shopping Center, are very enthusiastic about their new venture. that we see the most color and get to play with the fun pastels and trend hues. Also, fringe is another big item right now.” Accessories include scarves, handbags, shoes, belts, hat, and jewelry, all selected with Ms. DiDonato’s emphasis on style and fashion forward expertise. Scarves always complete the fashion statement, and there are many special choices, including large cashmere wraps. “These can double as a regular scarf, but they are important in a variety of ways even in summer,” she explains. “They can come in handy on a cool summer night, on an airplane, in overly-cool air conditioning, etc.” The jewelry selection includes the Tai line from Thailand, and Ms. DiDonato is hard put to keep the bracelets, earrings, and necklaces in the store. “The open bracelets, especially, have been incredibly popular. They come in different colors and shapes, and make a great gift, priced under $100.” She notes that while the
shop offers a higher end selection, items are competitively priced. “What I especially want people to know is that our success and customer service is based on honesty. Our priority is the customer and making sure she has the right outfit for her. This is a fashion intelligent time, and many customers want to have right look. They often ask us for advice, and say they need something for a party or special event, and I enjoy helping them so much. I love styling people from head to toe! It can be very creative, and so often, over time, the customers become friends.” And, adds proud husband Mr. DiDonato, “One of the things I love about Christina is that she is very friendly and easy to get along with, as well as being so creative. She is a very genuine person, and customers will appreciate that about her too.” Bella Boutique is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday noon to 6. (609) 454-5680. —Jean Stratton

Showing Character in Battling Through Adversity, PU Heavyweight Crews Gained From Henley Trip
A
s three Princeton University men’s heavyweight crews prepared to compete in the Henley Royal Regatta in England, training went well on both sides of the Atlantic. Prior to heading across the pond, Princeton got in some intense work on Lake Carnegie for two weeks in midJune. “It was awesome; it was a different kind of training,” said Princeton heavyweight head coach Greg Hughes. “We took them out of the spring combinations. It was lots of small boats, coxless 4s and pairs. We had nice weather, great water, and no distractions. It was like having a training camp; we did a couple of rows a day. It was going back to basics, putting 8s into two 4s and getting competition that way. It is great having the ability to do that on the lake.” Once over in England, the Princeton rowers got in some good work on the Thames River. “It is a pretty great place to row,” said Hughes. “The weather was fantastic. It was warm and dry. The water was calm and we didn’t have any real wind. The change of venue is exciting. It is a new location and a new course; it heightens the senses.” But things got rough as one of the Tigers’ key performers couldn’t go on the water. “We had one setback,” said Hughes, noting that he decided to give freshman stroke Julian Goldman double duty, keeping him in that spot on the second varsity 8 and then replacing Master on the top boat. “Tim Masters, the stroke on varsity suffered a significant back injury five or six days before the start
of racing. The team really rallied. We shuffled guys around and did doubles to get training in.” With its lineup intact, the Princeton third varsity 8 performed well in the Temple Challenge Cup at the regatta, topping MIT and Liverpool University before losing by 2/3 of a length to Université de Lyon, France in the quarterfinals. “They did a great job, they had a good chunk of freshmen, there were two seniors and three or four freshmen in the boat,” said Hughes of the third varsity. “They got to race in a different environment and they did really well.” The Princeton men’s heavyweight second varsity 8 competed in the Ladies Challenge Cup and fell by 3/4 of a length to the Leander Club of England in the final eight. “Those guys really stepped up; we wanted to race our spring lineups over there,” said Hughes. “It was a good, gutsy race. Leander is a national training boat for Great Britain so it is very good.” With Goldman stepping up in his dual role, the first varsity gave Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) champion Washington all it could handle in the quarterfinal stage of the Ladies Challenge Cup. The Tigers jumped out to an early lead over the five-time reigning national champion Huskies and moved to a half-length advantage at one point in the 2,112-meter race. Showing its experience, Washington overcame the Tigers to win by 1 length. “That was awesome, it was a gutsy, feisty race, particularly with everything that had gone on during the week,” said
ALL HANDS ON DECK: Members of the Princeton University men’s heavyweight crew program celebrate after Princeton won the Rowe Cup team points title at the Eastern Sprints in early May. Earlier this month, all three men’s heavyweight crews competed at the Henley Royal Regatta in England. While none of the boats earned titles, they acquitted themselves well at the famed competition. The men’s first varsity and second varsity 8s were each in the final eight of the Ladies Challenge Cup while the third varsity eight made the quarterfinals of the Temple Challenge Cup. (Photo by Aleka Gürel) Hughes. “It was Julian’s second race of the day and his first with the varsity on a pretty big stage.” Hughes was happy to see his Class of 2015 rowers end their Princeton careers on the Henley stage. “It was great for them to get another race and spend time together as a group,” said Hughes. “Being at Henley as a college crew at least once is a big goal. It is a reward for the program’s progress. We have made big strides and the seniors are a big part of that. It is much different than when they came in and they were major contributors.” It was also a great experience for the program’s younger rowers. “For the returners, four more weeks of training and racing makes a big difference,” said
330 COLD SOIL ROAD PRINCETON, NJ 08540
Hughes. “It builds the team a little bit more.” In Hughes’ view, the program has a foundation of character in place on which it can build. “They are tough, resilient and they are racers,” said Hughes. “They can have obstacles in front of them and overcome that. The guys are going to step up and fight. That is important in rowing. It is an outdoors sport and you face a lot of challenges. That (Masters’ injury) was not a challenge you could visualize and the team really stepped up. I feel bummed for Tim; he was a really great teammate and a really great contributor. He is going to missed; he went out with a bang in the (Eastern) Sprints and IRAs.” —Bill Alden

Elizabeth Begley, a University of Texas alumna who spent the past season as a volunteer assistant coach at Baylor, was named last week as the assistant coach for the Princeton University women’s tennis program. Last season at Baylor, Begley helped the Bears to the NCAA team quarterfinals while the program had players earn a berth in the NCAA singles Round of 16 and the

During her playing career at Texas, Begley had 86 career singles wins and helped the Longhorns to two Big 12 championships, finishing her senior season as the team’s No. 2 singles player and ranked 114th in the nation by the ITA. Texas played in the NCAA team tournament in each of her first three seasons, winning at least one match all three times and advancing to the Round of 16 her sophomore year.

Princeton head coach Laura Granville, for her part, is excited to add Begley to her staff. “With her passion for coaching tennis, Elizabeth will be a tremendous asset to our program,” said Granville. “The team will benefit from her experience as a player and coach on two top college teams.”

April. That tournament was one of four between the fall and the spring in which Wong led the Princeton contingent, including her finish atop the leaderboard alongside teammate Tenley Shield at the Lehigh Invitational before Shield took the title in a playoff. Wong, a student in Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, competed in all eight events between last fall and spring, and all but one of her 20 rounds came in under 80 strokes, including her seasonlow 73 in the second round at last fall’s Penn State-hosted Nittany Lion Invitational. ———

His 150 career steals, a stat also kept since the ’74-’75 season, rank sixth in program annals. ———

During his first two seasons with the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute men’s lacrosse team, Aaron Shavel struggled to find a rhythm at the college level. “The game is a lot faster and the players are a lot bigger,” said Shavel, a former Princeton Day School star attacker. “I had to be a lot quicker and more decisive, the big thing was the speed of everything. You have to refine your game. It took a while for me to grow into it; I was making a lot of turnovers.” A coaching decision early in Shavel’s junior year changed the game for him. “At the end of fall ball, the coach (Jim Townsend) talked to me; he said I wasn’t getting a lot of playing time but thought I could still be an asset to the team,” said Shavel. “He said he wanted to move me to m idf ield. I hadn’t played that since middle school but I said anything to help the team and get on the field.” Adjusting well to his new role, Shavel helped trigger the team’s offense in 2014, scoring 24 points on 17 goals and seven assists. “I went from a second or third line attacker to first line midfield,” said Shavel. “It was better for my skill set; I was able to get my hands free. I also got to play on the man-up unit. When you are on attack, you are
on the field the whole time. As a midfielder, you are on for 30 seconds and then off for two minutes. Being on the man-up got me one or two more runs. I was on low left; I had a comfort level there and it helped me get a rhythm.” Shavel displayed his new comfort level in a 9-8 overtime win at Clarkson in late March of his junior year. “The big highlight was a game at Clarkson in Potsdam,” said Shavel. “I had a poor performance there as a freshman so it was a point of redemption for me. I scored a late goal to bring us within one. Our goalie scored to tie the game and then I scored in overtime to win the game and get a hat trick. I left that field feeling redemption.” Coming into his senior campaign this spring, Shavel had a good feeling about the team. “We had a strong junior year and we were returning a lot of talent, we had one of the highest ranked defenses and a lot of scorers,” said Shavel. The Engineers went on to enjoy a strong campaign, going 10-5 overall and 4-3 in Liberty League play. “ We we nt u n d e fe ate d against NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference); we had some solid wins against top-20 and top -10 teams,” said Shavel, who tallied 12 goals and three assists in his fi-
nal campaign to give him 50 points on 38 goals and 12 assists in his career. “I think the most exciting game was Wesleyan. They won big against us junior year and wrote us off. We went there on a Tuesday evening and beat them in OT.” Shavel and his classmates ended their careers on a high note, rolling to a 19-1 win over Bard in the season finale. “The last game was senior day and a bunch of the seniors started,” recalled Shavel, who had an assist in the win. “It was great to make it through the four years with those guys with the turmoil, excitement and all the emotions.” Reflecting on his career, Shavel said he had a great experience bonding with his teammates over the last four years. “Unlike soccer or hockey, it is a big team,” said Shavel. “It is a team of 45 guys, there are a lot of different personalities so it is having patience and dealing with all of those personalities. One of the things that was so great was that all the players were down-to-earth guys. It was a hard working, blue collar team. It was a lot of fun to be out there with them.” Shavel’s younger brother, Jacob, who just finished up a superb career with the PDS boys’ lax program, is going be one of those guys as he will be attending RPI this fall and joining the team. “I had nothing to do with that, my parents wanted him to make the decision on his own,” said Shavel. “It is a testament to the program
that he came in as an outsider and felt welcome.” While Shavel may not have been involved in recruiting his brother, he welcomes the chance to stay connected to the program through his sibling. “It is cool; I will be able to go up and see him play and see a lot of my friends at the same time,” said Shavel, noting that both his brother
and he developed their love for the game by starting to play as kids with the Princeton Lacrosse Club. “Coach is already giving me grief about an alumni game on October 1.” For Shavel, going up to RPI proved to be a good decision on and off the field. “Par t of t he reason I liked RPI was that it is was a place where I could study
civil engineering and play high level lacrosse,” said Shavel, who will be working in civil engineering for Judlau Contracting in New York City. “It was a tough school. PDS prepared me well. It is great, there is a lot of support. It was fantastic to play for the team.” —Bill Alden

Princeton LL Intermediates Make Program History, Edging Ocean to Earn 1st Sectional Championship Having gone undefeated in tournament play this summer, the Princeton Little League (PLL) 50/70 Intermediate squad found itself trailing Ocean Township 4-2 in the fifth inning of the final round of the Section 3 tourney last Thursday. But PLL star infielder Ben Petrone wasn’t overly concerned about the deficit. “I was a little nervous but I knew we could pull it out in the end,” said Petrone, who has sparked the team from the leadoff spot as it went 3-0 on the way to the District 12 title and 2-0 in the sectional as it earned a spot in the final round. That optimism proved justified as PLL broke through with three runs in the top of the fifth with Petrone getting a single to lead off the frame and scoring before Ben Kioko crushed a tworun homer over the center field fence to put Princeton up 5-4.
“I was just super excited because I knew Kioko was going to do something big,” said Petrone. “I knew when he hit it.” In the seventh inning with PLL clinging to that 5-4 lead and one out, Petrone calmly handled two hard grounders flawlessly and threw out the batters to seal the deal. “You have got to have solid defense to pull it through and win, especially against these better teams,” said Petrone, a rising 8th grader at John Witherspoon Middle School. As Petrone and his teammates mobbed each other and jumped for joy after the final out, it was clear that the win meant a lot. “I think it is the first time that Princeton has ever won the sectionals and it is pretty cool,” said Petrone. “We are going to the state tournament so it is a big deal.” In Petrone’s view, a big
part of the team’s success is the bond that the players have developed over the years. “We have all played together since we were real young so we know each other really, really well,” said Petrone. “We are just a strong team all the way around.” PLL manager Jon Durbin concurs, seeing team unity as a major factor underlying the squad’s success. “With this group it is actually the fact that they love playing baseball together, there is no tension or animosity or jealousy between any of them,” said Durbin. “They have been playing together since they have been seven or eight years old, they really like being on the field together and they like hanging out together, both here and off the field. I think it is that chemistry that is really special.”

T he players and t heir families have also displayed a special commitment to the game. “They have also all been hugely dedicated, the families have been hugely dedicated,” said Durbin. “They are the ones that when we said it is really important for you guys to start going out for pro coaching lessons, these were the age groups that really started making the major commitment to that. Not only did they do all their little league stuff and their Princeton travel baseball and their other travel baseball stuff, they were going to hitting and pitching lessons from the late fall to the early spring. These were the groups that really started that and you can just see, they are really sound fundamentally.” Having put in all that time and effort, there were some nerves as PLL found itself on the verge of the program’s first-ever sectional title last Thursday. “I don’t think there was any doubt for me that we were the ones feeling most of the pressure because we were trying to make history as a team and a program by winning sectionals for the first time ever for the PLL,” said Durbin. “They were tight, it was on our field. Before the start of the game you could hear a pin drop in this place even with the music going on our side. The parents were really quiet. Our dugout was quiet; we were quiet on the field.” Things certainly weren’t quiet around the team and its supporters after Kioko delivered his decisive blast in the fifth inning. “Ben had a fabulous game and he definitely plays a huge role on the team,” said Durbin. “Here is the funny thing on that play; we were down 4-3 and we had a runner on first, Jackson Rho, who is one of the two guys that I would just have steal, no matter who is pitching and who is catching. I wanted to give Ben one pitch because he likes to swing at the first pitch and I thought I am going to hold off on giving the steal sign for one pitch. The guy grooved it and Ben
crushed it. It was gone as soon as it left the bat, you could tell.” Durbin credited Ben Petrone with playing a key role on the team as an offensive catalyst and defensive standout. “He is a fierce warrior type of a ballplayer,” said Durbin. “I love having him bat leadoff because he is so aggressive at the plate and he rarely strikes out. He has such great hand-eye coordination. When he gets on, he is so quick and fast. In the field, he has just been spectacular. He didn’t even bobble those grounders in the seventh, he scooped them up and made strong throws. He has been a spark, both in key moments hitting and his defense has just been spectacular.” Durbin’s son, lefty starting pitcher, Teddy Durbin, displayed fortitude in some key situations, hanging in through six innings before giving way to Kioko in the seventh. “One thing about him is even when he knows he doesn’t have his best stuff, he makes adjustments and battles like a warrior,” said Durbin. “If you had asked me at the start of the game, when do you think he is going to come out, I would have guessed around the 50-pitch mark but he just kept getting stronger and stronger the longer he stayed in the game. He regrouped and was able to settle down and even though he gave up two 2-run homers, he never really let them get him down. When he was younger, he would have dropped his chin, he would have had bad body language and he would have started walking batters.”
In reflecting on the title, Durbin said it showed that the PLL program has gotten much stronger collectively. “I think overall I am just really happy for the program because it has come such a long way,” said Durbin. “Our main measuring stick is not what we do in the summer but it is important for helping build the league spirit and community and it gets the all star caliber players really excited and committed to the program when they can do things like this. That is what it means first and foremost.” Now PLL is looking to do something special in the state tournament as it faces West Deptford in the first round on July 15 in the fourteam competition being held at Winslow Township. “Going into states, the most important thing is a four-team tournament,” explained Durbin of the tourney, which also includes Randolph and Nutley. “Ever ybody plays on Wednesday and everybody plays on Thursday. Whoever comes out of those two days at 2-0, advances to the finals and they have a commanding advantage over everybody else. My first thought is that we need to make sure that our game plan gets us to 2-0 through Thursday. The strategy part is in my mind first and foremost, seeing how we are going to use the pitching.” Petrone, for his part, believes that Princeton could end up first in the state. “We are trying to win it all the way through,” said Petrone. “Our team is looking really good.” —Bill Alden
COMING THROUGH: Princeton Little League (PLL) star Ben Petrone follows through on a swing in tournament action.

Storms Approaching...
Will Your Landscape Survive? Late summer/early fall is the season for some of nature’s most severe weather. Storms in all shapes and forms can create havoc throughout New Jersey. One of the greatest dangers posed by storms is presented by failing trees. Unsafe trees are a threat to lives and property. A few tree species, including Chinese Elm, Silver Maple, Boxelder, and various Poplars and White Pines have brittle wood that is easily broken. These rapidly growing trees cause a considerable amount of damage to homes, cars, buildings and utility lines each year. Homeowners should be aware of these characteristics and avoid planting them close to potential targets. If such trees are already growing in these locations, preventive pruning, bracing, or cabling may help reduce storm damage this coming season. Over the years, growing trees will “catch” more wind and become heavier, so they are prone to increased mechanical stresses, thus increasing the chances of failure. Large trees can damage a large area should they or their larger limbs fall. This means that power lines, homes, and other structures that might not have been threatened a few years ago might suddenly be under threat by a tree that has grown. Remember that a tree is a living thing, and its integrity and stability change over time, so don’t assume that a tree that has survived ten severe storms will necessarily survive an eleventh. What can you do? If you are unsure about your tree’s health, consult a Woodwinds Professional Arborist who will identify potential weaknesses and dangers.

start to the tourney, which saw it roll to w ins over Bordentown and CranburyPlainsboro in its first two games of the competition, was about to vanish into the night air at the Tantum Park in Robbinsville. But Jack Durbin kept the inning alive as the Millstone second basemen misplayed his pop fly. Given life, PLL produced a thrilling rally as Jude Blaser hit a run-scoring single to make it 3-2, Jensen Bergen got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to knot the game at 3-3 and then Daniel Harlan and Peter Hare delivered two-run singles to give Princeton a 7-3 lead. With reliever Theo Steiger working out of a jam in the bot tom of the sixth that saw Millstone get a single and a walk but no runs, PLL prevailed by that 7-3 margin. While PLL manager Ken Harlan admitted that things did look bleak in the sixth, he never lost faith in his players. “These kids have been able to hit all year, they never give up,” said Harlan, reflecting on the contest which ended around 11 p.m. “They just believe in themselves, they believe in each other. It was just amazing, they fought right to the end. We just kept putting the pressure on, we ran the bases really well. We knew it would eventually fall for us. We were hitting it to the wrong spots and finally it came through.” The PLL defense came through all evening as the team made several sharp plays in the field to hold Millstone-Roosevelt at bay. “We fielded really well at the end to make sure that we didn’t give up more than three runs,” said Harlan. With good pitching from starter Jackson Bailey, who produced three scoreless innings before giving up three runs in the four th, and Steiger coming in with two outs in the inning and closing the deal, Princeton was able to stay in the contest before its sixth inning outburst. “Theo came in ; he has been doing really well in practice,” said Harlan. “It was a high pressure situation, I was happy he had some ext ra r u ns on t he board with some cushion. He battled. I am proud of the way he did. Between

the two pitchers and those hits in the last inning, it was incredible.” On Saturday afternoon, PLL continued its incredible run, topping Nottingham 12-5 to advance to the final round of the doubleelim inat ion tour nament. Bailey earned the win on the mound in the contest, chipping in two hits to aid his cause. Spencer Wert led the PLL offense with three h it s w it h Dan iel Harlan adding two. Pr inceton, now 4 - 0 in district play, was slated to face Nottingham on July 14 in the finals, needing one more win to clinch the crown. In reflecting on his team’s success, Harlan said his squad brings a lot to the table. “We have strong pitching, we have very good fielding and our hitting has always been a big strength,” said Harlan. “It is a good combination. Against Bordentown (a 1610 win in its District opener on July 3 ), we put up 15 runs over two innings. We can put up runs very quickly.” I n H a r l a n’s v i e w, t h e team’s unity as much as its balance helped pave the way for the dramatic comeback last Wednesday. “They are the nicest bunch of kids, they are the greatest teammates to each other,” said Harlan. “They are always picking each other up.

Although Moore Switching to PU Football From Hoops, Former Hun Star Leading King’s in Summer Basketball Af ter helping t he Hun S chool b oys’ basketball team to the Mid-Atlantic Prep League (MAPL) title in 2013 as a post-graduate, Hashim Moore moved across tow n to join t he Princeton University men’s hoops program. Over the last two seasons, Moore filled a reserve role at small forward, making seven appearances as a freshman in 2013-14 and then getting into four games last winter, scoring a total of 15 points in 28 minutes of action. T h i s s p r i n g , t h e 6’5
Moore, a native of For t Lauderdale, Fla., decided it was time for a change in his sporting focus, leaving the basketball program to join the Princeton football team. “It just wasn’t for me at the time,” said Moore, explaining his decision. “I am looking for an opportunity in football.” Looking to play tight end for the Tigers, Moore is putting in some hard work this summer to get up to speed in his new sport. “I have been here for a couple weeks now, doing 6
MOORE ON THE WAY: Hashim Moore heads up court in his postgraduate campaign for the Hun School boys’ basketball team in the 2012-13 season. Moore, who went on to play the last two seasons as a reserve forward for the Princeton University men’s basketball team, has switched to football. He is staying around basketball, though, by playing for King’s Pizzarama in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League. Last Monday, he scored a game-high 21 points in a losing cause as King’s fell 58-50 to Belle Mead Physical Therapy. In other action on Monday, Aria Health defeated SAT Smart/ Princeton Soup and Sandwich 60-51 and Bring Me Food topped Princeton Pi 66-56. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

a.m. workouts every morning with the football guys who are here in the summer,” said Moore. “I haven’t played football since middle school. I feel like I am athletic enough to do the switch. The coaches are working with me to help learn the plays and get bigger and stronger. I have gained 20 pounds (going from 220 to 240) since I did the switch.” Moore, though, is staying in basketball by playing for King’s Pizzarama in the Princeton Recreation Depar tment Summer Men’s Basketball League. Last Monday, after arriving at the Community Park cour ts with football and King’s teammate, Anthony Gaffney, just after the team tipped off against Belle Mead Physical T herapy, Moore showed flashes of his hoops brilliance. Coming off the bench, he scored 14 points in the first half, including 12 in a row in one stretch as King’s trailed Belle Mead 30-27 at half. Reflecting on his first half outburst, Moore said his football training helped him get off to his sizzling start. “I was being aggressive, the squats we had earlier today got my legs going,” said Moore. In the second half, Moore chipped in seven more points to end up with a game-high 21 on the evening but it wasn’t enough as King’s fell 58-50. Moore tipped his hat to Belle Mead, which got 17 points from Matt Johnston with Mike Rubayo chipping in 14 and Dan Reilly adding 13 as it improved to 5-4. “T heir ba l l movem ent was pretty good and they hit some big 3-point shots,” said Moore. Although the loss dropped King’s to 3-5, Moore believes that the squad, which made it to the 2014 summer hoops championship series, can be dangerous in the league playoffs that start next Monday. “We have a lot of talent on our team, we have a lot of quickness,” said Moore. “Defense is the key. We can score, it is just defense.” But no matter how things turn out, Moore is enjoying his time on the court. “It is the opportunity to still play competitively a little bit,” said Moore. —Bill Alden

With Veteran Players Fighting Hard to the End, Post 218 Baseball Goes 2-0 in Final Weekend Chris Maselli scuffled a bit in the first inning as he started on the mound for the Princeton Post 218 American Legion baseball team against visiting South Brunswick at Smoyer Park. Wiry right-hander Maselli gave up a single and walked another batter but got out of the frame unscathed with some help from his teammates. “My catcher (Gideon Friedberg) really picked me up in the first inning,” said Maselli, a former Pennington School standout who just finished his freshman year at Methodist University in North Carolina. “He threw the kid out at first and then the kid out at third. It really just helps when you make mistakes as a pitcher and your infield can pick you up and get you out of situations like that.” Post 218 picked it up at the bat in the bottom of the first, pushing across five runs as Steve Majeski, Chris Sumners, and Nick Perez each contributed RBI singles. “When you come up as the home team and score five, that gives you confidence,” said Maselli. “We have been struggling this year; we haven’t been able to do as much as we would like. To come out and be leading 5-0 after one, it gives the pitcher all the confidence in the world.” Over the next four innings, Maselli did what he liked on the mound, retiring all 12 batters he faced as Post 218 pulled away to 11-0 in a game shortened to five innings due to the 10-run rule. “I was throwing my curve ball pretty well,” said Maselli. “I was starting off a lot of kids with the fast ball on the first pitch and then I would come right back with the curve ball. I felt like I got to a lot of 0-2 counts where I then just took over.” It felt good for Post 218 to get the victory as it was mired in an eight-game losing streak, having not won since it topped Trenton Post 93/182 3-0 in the second game of a doubleheader on June 20. “It means a lot, especially as an older guy,” said Maselli. “I can see the perspective; going to play in college is all kinds of fun but we have got a lot of young guys on this team that are going to be playing and representing Princeton for the years to come and we need to show them that we are a team that can compete.” Post 218 manager Tommy Parker liked the competitive spirit his team displayed against South Brunswick as it bounced back from a 20-0 loss to Allentown on Friday evening. “These guys could have come in here with their heads hanging down and buried already but they kept their fo-
Skillman H HFurniture
cus which is a great thing,” said Parker. “They had a smart game at the plate, they scored a lot of runs and took advantage of opportunities. It was also solid defense. I don’t think we made an error in the game so that was great. John Reid made a great play in left field, Alex Deutsch made two great catches in center field. They played like we have been telling them all year that they are capable of.” Maselli has showed good focus on the mound all summer for Post 218. “Chris was excellent; he has been that iron man for us all year,” said Parker. “He is our go-to guy in pitching and in attitude. He doesn’t get ruffled. The last time we played these guys, he pitched against them and pitched a decent game. We fell apart behind him. We didn’t hit and he wanted the ball back so I wanted to oblige that and it was a good outing. He was hitting with his breaking ball, he took control and did a great job.” The Princeton offense did a great job as Sumners went 2-for3 with a double and two RBIs and Majeski ended up 3-for-3 with two doubles and two RBIs.
“Sumners has come alive in this part of the season,” said Parker. “Stevie is hitting again, which is good to see. Matt Lambert is hitting the ball hard. He has been a spark, he is doing a good job. It was a total team effort, these guys have been hitting it lately.” Parker is happy to see his team ending the season on a high note. “I want them to battle to the end, that is the whole thing,” said Parker, whose team edged North Hamilton 5-4 on Sunday to improve to 4-19 and was slated to wrap up its season by playing at Hamilton Post 31 on July 14. “They need to play like they are capable of playing. Even against the best in the league, these guys have been in these games. They keep bouncing back. I have to give all the credit to the guys who keep showing up.” Maselli, for his part, believes that playing hard to the end this summer will help the players who come back for the 2016 campaign. “We are a team that can win, so to come out here and win nice like this gives them confidence going into next year,” said Maselli. —Bill Alden
FINAL CUT: John Reid connects during recent action for the Princeton Post 218 American Legion baseball team. Former Princeton High standout Reid helped Post 218 enjoy a big weekend as it posted an 11-0 win over South Brunswick Post 401 on Saturday and then edged North Hamilton 5-4 a day later. Post 218, which improved to 4-19 with the victories, was slated to wrap up its season by playing at Hamilton Post 31 on July 14. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Obituaries Helen Froelich Holt Helen Froelich Holt, wife of a U.S. Senator, mother of a U.S Congressman, college science teacher, first woman in statewide office in West Virginia, and federal housing official appointed by seven U.S. presidents, died July 12, 2015 at age 101 in Boca Raton, Florida. She lived in Boca Raton and Washington, D.C. The cause of death was heart failure. Helen Froelich was born in the central Illinois farming town of Gridley in 1913, the year of the introduction of parcel post delivery and the year of the completion of the Panama Canal. A dutiful student, she graduated from Stephens College, then a two-year college for women in Columbia, Missouri, and went on to earn bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in zoology from Northwestern University. She studied at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and she was hired to set up the science library at Stephens College. In her long life, Holt’s experiences ranged widely: from flying as a young girl with then little-known barnstorming pilot Charles Lindbergh, to modeling for an agency in the new Rockefeller Center, to serving in the West Virginia legislature, to founding and running a national program that resulted in the building of 1,000 high-standard nursing homes with 100,000 beds, to receiving an honorary doctorate at age 99 from a Big Ten university with a standing ovation following her commencement speech. Many people who knew her were more impressed by her deep, unobtrusive religious faith than by her remarkable professional accomplishments. As a young woman, some of the senior faculty at Northwestern attempted to dissuade her from studying zoology, saying that she would have to go through
the mud and handle insects and amphibians. That was just the challenge she r e l i s h e d . S h e c o m p l e ted her Master of Science degree in zoology with a thesis on artificial insemination of the Japanese salamander. From 1938 to 1941, Holt taught biology at the prestigious National Park College for women in Forest Glen (Silver Spring), Maryland, where she also led field trips and taught hygiene and etiquette. In 1940, her students contributed her picture to Life magazine for a photo spread of teachers and the dynamic young bachelor, U.S. Senator Rush Holt of West Virg i n ia, happ ene d to s ee the spread and pointed to Helen’s picture. His sister said she knew that teacher from a national sorority association and could arrange a meeting. T he Senator and the teacher met, soon married, moved back to West Virginia, and following his re-election defeat, they began raising three children, including a nephew who joined their family. In 1955, Rush Holt died of cancer at age 49. Helen, left with three small children, resumed teaching at Greenbrier College for Women, and finished her husband’s term in the West Virginia legislature. In 1957, Governor Cecil Underwood appointed her to fill a vacancy as Secretary of State, and Holt became the first woman to hold statewide public office in West Virginia. In 1958, she ran unsuccessfully for a full term as a Republican, but was her party’s leading vote-getter in the state that year. Subsequently appointed West Virginia’s assistant commissioner for public institutions, she oversaw state long-ter m care facilities and the women’s prison. Holt got acquainted with Dwight Eisenhower, first when he was a candidate and later as president, and toward the end of his second term, he appointed her to implement the newly authorized program in the Federal Housing Administration to set standards for long-term care facilities and to provide insured mort-
gages for the construction of nursing homes meeting those standards. Her work setting up that program and advancing other housing programs for the elderly was so successful that Holt was reappointed to positions in the Department of Housing and Urban Development by six subsequent presidents, from Kennedy through Reagan. In retirement, Holt devoted herself especially to church activities. She also campaigned with enthusiasm and determination for her son, Rush D. Holt, Jr., in his eight successful races for U.S. Congress. In 2013, when her son campaigned unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate from New Jersey, she decided that he was not running well in the southern part of the state, and so, at age 99 she set off on a tour of South Jersey — going from diner to diner with her walker to talk with patrons and encourage them to vote for her son. Holt credited Natalie Tennant, the current West Virginia Secretary of State, with resurrecting her professional reputation. Holt said that no one remembered what she had done until 2009, when Secretary Tennant inquired about the portrait in the State Capitol of an attractive, young former secretary and discovered that Holt was still alive. Tennant’s public interviews with Holt drew attention and resulted in several public appearances of the nonagenarian. In 2013, West Virginia University awarded her an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters. As the 99-year-old concluded her speech, which was delivered without notes due to poor eyesight, the large audience rose to its feet in ovation. Holt was predeceased by her husband Rush Holt, Sr. and daughter Jane Holt Seale. She is survived by her son, Rush Holt, and his wife, Margaret Lancefield, of Hopewell; David Chase, a nephew whom she raised, and his wife Patricia, of Syracuse, N.Y.; her grandson, Rush Seale, his wife Katie Sheketoff, and their children Nathaniel and Emerson ;
step-grandchildren Dejan Miovic, Michael Miovic, and Rachel Novsak; and nine great-grandchildren. Memorial services will be held in Boca Raton on Sunday, July 19, 2015 and in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, August 15, 2015. Further information about memorial arrangements in Florida and in Washington, D.C. can be obtained from rush@rushholt.com. ———

Rosario (Charo) Uruñuela de Juega A loving wife and mother, Rosario (Charo) Uruñuela de Juega passed away peacefully on June 30, 2015, in Madr id, Spain. She had celebrated her 92nd birthday two weeks earlier. Born in Vigo, Spain, one of five children, she was raised in Bilbao in the devastating period during and after the Spanish Civil War, and survived a prolonged bout with typhoid fever in her teens. She abandoned her nursing studies and moved to Madrid after her marriage in 1945 to Jose Juega Boudon, then an officer in the Spanish Air Force Academy. In 1966, she moved to Montreal, Canada, following her husband’s appointment as the Spanish representative to the International Civil Aviation Organization. She spoke French, having learnt it in school and having been raised in a household where it was frequently used, but in Montreal she took on the challenge of learning English, well into her 40s. Upon her return to Madrid, she enrolled in the Official School of Foreign Languages in Madrid, and obtained a diploma in English. She was an avid reader, a wonderful cook, a creative knitter, and an active member of her church. She and her husband traveled extensively upon his retirement. After her husband’s death in 1991, she visited Princeton frequently for extended stays with her daughter. While in Princeton, she made many friendships, through her charming and graceful character. She particularly loved to spend time browsing and reading in the Princeton Public Library and walking in the gardens and many open spaces in the area. She is sur vived by her three children Maria (Charo) Juega of Princeton, New Jersey; Jose Juega (Dolo-
Howard Martin Metzger, 85, a long time resident of South Brunswick, New Jersey, died peacefully on March 3, 2015 in Canton, Ohio. Born May 23, 1929 to the late Hazel and Louis Metzger in Floral Park, New York, he was the second of t wo sons. He graduated from Valparaiso University in 1951 with a BA in biology and later studied insurance at the College of Insurance, New York, N.Y. and Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Howard served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War from December 1952 to December 1953, achieving the rank of Second Lieutenant. He began a 40 year career in the property and casualty insurance industry in 1954 at Marsh & McClennan and retired after 20 years with Johnson & Higgins in 1996 as a senior vice president in risk management. Howard was actively involved in fundraising and for 11 years, from 1986 to 1997, rode the Anchor House Ride for Runaways, a 500-mile bike ride founded after federal funding was cut in 1986 and Anchor House risked closing its doors. In 2005, he received an award from Anchor House for his dedication and commitment in aiding runaway, homeless and abused youths. Howard was also actively engaged in supporting his alma mater and in 1991 he received the Alumni Service Award from Valparaiso University Alumni Association. Howard was the beloved husband of the late Mary Jean Metzger. He is survived by his children: Jean Larson (Robert); Howard Jr. (Bobbi Barchiesi); Patricia Metzger (Jeff Reed); Kathryn Metzger Fucarino (Andrea); and Kristen Dodge (Sumner); and 14 grandchildren. A memor ial ser v ice is scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2015, at 2 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church, Princeton, New Jersey. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Valparaiso University — Advancement Office, 1100 Campus Drive South, Valparaiso, IN 46383. ———

MOVING DAY: TIPS FOR UNPACKING You've finally arrived at your new home. Hooray! Now it's time to unpack. Not so much fun. Here are some tips to make it easier: * Have a schedule and a list of tasks for each person on arrival. * Unpack your essentials box, which should contain items you need to get settled right away. * Find the tools you'll need: Box cutter, scissors, hammer, screwdriver and any other tools you'll need to put furniture together, hand pictures, etc. * If you have kids, make sure they understand their tasks. * Vacuum bedrooms, move in bedroom furniture and make beds so they're ready for you. * Let your kids unpack the boxes for their rooms, hang clothes in closets, etc. * Clean the kitchen cabinets and sink and unpack the kitchen. * Do the same for the bath. * Unpack room by room to avoid feeling overwhelmed. * Leave outdoor furniture and garage storage items until last. * Plan where you want things to go before you begin unpacking boxes. * Keep meals simple; ideally, get the numbers of local delivery places for the first couple of nights. * Take your time and don't overtax yourself. Stress causes crankiness, and that's no fun for anybody.
