Princeton Gets Assistance From New Jersey DOT For Bicycle Master Plan Princeton is creating a new Bicycle Master Plan, and the town wants members of the public to participate in the process. The study will begin in September with a public presentation, likely at a meeting of the Planning Board. This will be followed by a community outreach campaign. In the meantime, residents can get a preliminary look at information about the project at Community Night Out on Tuesday August 4, at the Community Pool. “We’re in the pre-scoping period right now with the Department of Transportation and our consultant, but we’ll be at Community Night Out next month and hope people will come by,” said Deanna Stockton, the town’s Assistant Municipal Engineer. The engineering department will have a table at the annual event, with some details of the planned study. The town is working on the plan in partnership with the consulting firm Parsons Brinckerhoff of Lawrenceville, through The New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Local Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning Assistance program. The program provides technical help to counties and municipalities to undertake planning studies for non-motorized modes of travel. Ms. Stockton sought a grant from the competitive program with a goal of creating “a comprehensive and holistic network map of connected bicycle facilities throughout Princeton,” according to a press release from the municipality. The new study is a follow-up to one done in 2007, where the DOT and Parsons Brinckerhoff completed a Borough Crosswalks Improvement Plan for the town. “There is a section about biking in the Sidewalk Master Plan, but it’s not a very strong portion of the document,” Ms. Stockton said. “So this will strengthen it.” “The process of creating a bicycle master plan will help us tremendously in putting together future road projects,” Mayor Liz Lempert said in the press release. “By redesigning our streets, we can slow down cars and make walking and biking safer and more attractive. This bike plan will hopefully put us on a path toward achieving these goals.” The topic of bike lanes and bike safety has come up repeatedly in municipal meetings. Last February, Princeton Council Continued on Page 12

Judge Halts IAS Plan, Accelerates Hearings
Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson issued an injunction last week which formally stopped all construction activity on the Institute for Advanced Study’s (IAS) faculty housing project until she hears arguments from both sides, culminating in a ruling on September 3. The Institute had halted the project last month after the Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society (PBS) complained that IAS actions would be destructive to the historic site where the Battle of Princeton was fought in January 1777. The seven acre-site, which is on land owned by the Institute and has been earmarked for seven single-family homes and two four-unit townhouses for its faculty and residential members, is adjacent to the Princeton Battlefield State Park. The Princeton Planning Board unanimously approved the project last November. The Battlefield Society is suing to overturn that approval. In addition to placing a hold on construction, Judge Jacobson’s court order also agreed to “accelerate its briefing and hearing schedule on the merits of the complaint,” in response to a request from the Institute. “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.” PBS attorney Bruce Afran had asked for a hearing last month to block further activity at the site, 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 Judge Jacobson’s ruling. “This is significant because Judge Jacobson said 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.” If all goes according to schedule, the court will proceed as follows: PBS will present its arguments for the overturn of
the Princeton Planning Board’s approval of the Institute’s plans by August 3 and the Institute will present its counterarguments by August 17. Then, PBS will have a chance to respond to the Institute’s counterarguments on August 24 before the judge hears oral arguments from both sides on September 3. The suit against the Institute and the Princeton Planning Board is being brought by the Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society and the following individuals: Asher Lurie, Kip Cherry, Jerald Hurwitz, Mark Crosby, Sally Crosby, William Marsch, Iain Haight-Ashton, Kim Gallagher, Joe Carney, Mrs. Carney, Rich Patterson, Paul Luane, Bill Meyer, Glenn Williams, Christopher Wren, and Joseph Carney. “We hope that Judge Jacobson overContinued on Page 12
Annual Student Film Festival Shows Local, International Work A little over 12 years ago, Princeton Public Library’s Youth Services librarian Susan Conlon was approached by a Princeton High School student about hosting a series showing the first efforts of famous film directors. That effort morphed into a festival featuring the works of aspiring filmmakers from the local area,
which has since been transformed into an annual event that draws entries from all over the world. “There were almost 200 original films submitted this year,” said Youth Services Librarian Martha Liu, of the festival taking place Wednesday and Thursday, July Continued on Page 10

TOYS FOR SMILES: Twin brothers Logan (right) and Sam Leppo are adept woodworkers who combine their skills to create simple wooden toys for children. Earlier this month they donated 50 kidfriendly toys — 25 cars and 25 dogs — to children at HomeFront’s “Christmas in July” event. Taking their ingenuity a step further, the boys have formed their own non profit group to help the less fortunate. The Hun School students plan to partner with woodworking students across the country to create handmade toys for every homeless child in America. By distributing their original designs to students in participating schools, they hope to make and donate 5,000 toys over the next twelve months. For more information, visit: www.loganandsam.org.

wooden toys that earlier this month, they distributed to children at HomeFront during the non-profit group’s “Christmas in July” celebration. They gave away 50 kidfriendly toys: 25 cars and 25 dogs.
TOPICS Of the Town But the boys are looking beyond this one act of generosity. They have formed their own non profit organization to help the less fortunate. “We would love to be able to make this a much larger event next year and are hoping to get other high school students involved in this project in the fall,” said Logan, who is 20 minutes older than his brother Sam. Their goal is to partner with woodworking students across the country to create handmade toys for every homeless child in America. The Leppo brothers, who just turned 16 in May, plan to team up with local area schools, including the Hun School. They will distribute their original designs. They hope the project will make and donate 5,000 toys over the next 12 months. “We want to share our creations with children who do not have as much as we do,” said Sam. “Handmade toys carr y a weight that store-bought toys do not. They take time and effort to make, and in that regard they are rather special.” The boys have the full support of their parents Michael and Tamara Leppo, who attended HomeFront’s Christmas in July event with their sons. They were impressed. “The expression on the faces of the kids as they picked out their toys was one of pure joy,” said Mr. Leppo. “The boys had deliberately left the toys unpainted so that their new owners could decorate them,” said their father. “Before we knew it HomeFront had produced art supplies and there was an impromptu decorating party. It was neat to watch Logan and Sam with the younger kids. They even thought to bring along wood glue and a set of small tools and set up a little toy hospital,” said Mr. Leppo. “Every now and then a toy would lose a wheel and
need to come in for repair. The HomeFront kids got involved, blowing on the glue! It was a sweet day.” According to their father, Logan and Sam inherited their woodworking skills from their mother’s side of the family. From a very young age, they were spending time with their grandfather Russell Marks. “They did all sor ts of building projects with their grandfather, who was always making furniture and art work,” said Mr. Leppo. He taught them how to handle tools safely and, as a result, they are very comfortable around band-saws and sanders.” Continued on Next Page

Hun Students Continued from Preceding Page
Hun School teacher Mark Niederer, with whom Logan studied woodworking and Sam architectural drawing, has also encouraged the twins, who used the school’s woodworking studio to make some of the toys they donated. In fact, recalled Mr. Leppo, that’s where he found them on the last day of school. “All the other students had gone. Where were Logan and Sam? In the woodshop, still sanding and working. I thought that was impressive,” said their father. “There is a real satisfaction in making something by hand.” Most of the work is done in the family garage, which Logan and Sam have turned into a wood shop. Each toy takes about 5 hours to make. “They have spent hours on this project and it has been an enormous learning experience,” said their father. Knowing that they wanted to encourage others to follow their lead, the brothers
well loved and well read since 1946
created simple designs that are easily understood and replicated. “We have had a good response from the schools we have contacted so far, and we are hopeful that this project is going to grow,” said Logan. “When we return to The Hun School in September, we are going to start a new club — Toys for Smiles — and work with the community service club to raise money for materials.” The boys’ parents have been delighted by the interest their sons’ accomplishments have garnered. “We just got a call from CBS Philadelphia asking to interview them and schools have been reaching out to them. There won’t be any shortage of kids wanting to get involved in this,” said Mr. Leppo. “They work exceptionally well as a team.” According to their father, the brothers have already accomplished a lot in their young lives. “They are good students in school and excellent at hlet ically. But more importantly, they are good kids and that’s exactly what Tamara and I wanted, to raise kids who would be good people.” Seems like we may be hearing more about Logan and Sam Leppo.

Their establishment, with its emphasis on cold-pressed juice and natural and organic ingredients, is special, they maintain. Their background includes spending summers at their grandparents farm (owned by the family for three generations) in Georgia, and a familiarity and love of fresh produce and healthy eating. “I’ve always been on the road to health and wellness, and my journey led me here,” explains Ms. Taylor. “The business evolved, and we grew into this. There is a movement toward healthy eating today, and we see that more and more people want to eat healthy.” Natural Juices The juice bar is named for Mr. Moore’s wife, Arlee, who was the inspiration for the business, says Mr. Moore. “My wife was looking for natural juices, and she felt there was a need here. In addition to spending time at the family farm, I have a food
background. I went to the University of Maryland, and got a degree in business administration, with a focus on food and beverages. “I started making the juices, with different blends, and we took them to farmer’s markets, including the Trenton Farmer’s Market, for three years. We developed a big following, and we still take the juices to Trenton and the Pennington Farmer’s Market.” Having their own place and storefront in Princeton was a goal for Ms. Taylor and Mr. Moore, who grew up in the area. When the location of the former Allstate Insurance office became available, they decided to take the plunge. It required a total renovation of the space, and they — and the customers — could not be happier with the outcome. “We wanted a special clean look and decor,” points out Ms. Taylor. “Princeton architect Joshua Zinder did it for us, and we love it. We also had the talents of local builder and designer Don Menke, who had worked with Michael Graves. He crafted a unique design, incorporating special wood from a tree that had come down during the Sandy storm a few years ago.” Using and re-using products is an important part of their philosophy,” continues Ms. Taylor. “We recycle, and everything is biodegradable or compostable. All the juices are in glass bottles — not plastic, and we have no waste. We even recycle the pulp from the juice into our crackers. We are a green store, and we clean with plant-based cleaners.” In addition, what further
sets Arlee’s Raw Blends apart is its cold-press method, explain the owners. The juices are cold-pressed daily from 100 percent organic fruits and vegetables and immediately glass-bottled. Locally-Grown And, as they point out, “We get our fruits and vegetables locally as much as possible. Using locally-grown 100 percent organic produce means a fresher and tastier juice. It’s better for our economy and better for the environment. “Cold-pressing preserves all the nutrients, and ensures that the juice is in its healthiest and cleanest form. This process enables the extracted essential enzymes and micro-nutrients in the juice to be bottled and maintain their goodness for up to 72 hours. All our juices are very good for you.” Juices are available in more than two dozen blends, including lemon, lime, beet, pineapple, watermelon, apple, carrot, turmeric, chia, and three kale blends. Also offered are raw cacao blend, cold brew latte, cold brew coffee, cafe mocha blend, and a variety of almond blends. Super Food smoothies are also popular, and include added fiber ingredients, such as maca, hemp seeds, spiralina, acai, coconut oil, and made in-house almond butter, which can be added to any of the juices. Among the juices, kale is the number one seller, notes Ms. Taylor. “Kale is a signature item for us. Even teenage boys love it! Everyone should start their day with kale! It’s a real energy-booster, and it stays with you all day long.
“Not everyone realizes how beneficial the juices can be for your health,” she continues. “For example, turmeric can boost immunity and clean out the sinuses, and beet juice is good for endurance.” Dehydrated Items Another major part of the store’s business is its selection of cleanses, she adds. “We specialize in cleansing. It takes the toxins out of the body and gives you energy. It’s very important, however, that when people cleanse, they make sure that they use organic products. We have one-day, three-day, and sixday cleanses, during which time only the juices are consumed.” In addition to the juices, Arlee’s Raw Blends offers fresh cut fruit, salads, veggie chips and crackers, mixed nuts, and a variety of dehydrated items, such as watermelon jerky, berries, and other fruits and vegetables. “We even have dehydrated salads that you can take to the beach,’ says Ms. Taylor. “It’s dehydrated kale, carrots, celery, raisins, and lemon herb vinaigrette. Even when it is dehydrated, you still get all the nutrients.” A variety of fresh salads is also available, as are dips, kale pesto, raw cacao truffles, and a big favorite — the vanilla bean cheesecake. Ms. Taylor and Mr. Moore are delighted with the enthusiastic response from customers of all backgrounds and ages (“kids to retirees”! We have two flavors created with kids in mind: the ‘Kale Refresher’ and the ‘Apple Refresher’). People come in throughout the day for their favorite juice “pick-me-up”. “It’s mostly ‘grab-and-go’,” points out Mr. Moore, “but
TASTE of PLACE
PURE AND NATURAL: “We try to provide awareness to help people to eat healthy and clean, and eliminate chemicals and toxins from their diet. Everything here is organic and natural. We make all the juices fresh every day, and we definitely promote healthy eating.” Brian Moore and Paula Taylor, owners of the new Arlee’s Raw Blends, are enthusiastic about their variety of cold-pressed juices and other organic and natural items. we do have seats for 10, if people want to stay. We’re a destination place for most of the customers, and we really like this area, this part of Nassau Street. It’s a real neighborhood here.” Cooler Bag “Many of our customers are knowledgeable about the juices and know what they want,” adds Ms. Taylor. “But we do get a lot of newcomers too, and we enjoy educating them, and they enjoy learning about the cold-pressed juice. We love to share information. And we find when they are new to it, people like the juice right away. I’ve even converted people who say they’ve never eaten a vegetable in their life!” Juices are available in 8-ounce bottles for $6 and 16-ounce bottles for $10. Specials are offered in which customers can pre-pay for 16, 24, 32, or 64 bottles, and re-

Student Film Festival continued from page one
22 and 23, at 7 p.m. in the library’s Community Room. “We have films from Spain, Iran, Ireland, and the Philippines, along with quite a few from New Jersey including one by Princeton High School student Talia Zinder. It has definitely become a big event that many people look forward to.” Anyone between the ages of 14 and 25 can submit entries to The Princeton Student Film and Video Festival, as long as the films are under 20 minutes (with an occasional exception — one of this year’s films is 22 minutes). A committee of nine screens the entries, in a broad range of styles and themes. “We always do a mix of genres,” Ms. Liu said, “including drama, comedy, animation, documentar y, experimental, and personal narrative. This year we are particularly strong in animation and documentary. But we had a hard time choosing because there were so many good entries.” Ms. Conlon said the emphasis on local filmmakers continues, “but we include films from all over because youth benefit from sharing broad perspectives as well as recognizing universal ideas. The films are inspired, imaginative, and reflect the filmmakers’ seriousness about developing their visual and technical craft and the art of good storytelling.” The festival is intended for teen and adult viewers — some of the films include
violence. Twelve are shown at each program, followed by conversations with some of the filmmakers — about nine each night. Those who cannot attend, mostly from abroad, submit their comments, which are read at the screenings. Along with Ms. Zinder of Princeton, high school students par ticipating in the festival come from Piscataway, Trenton, Scotch Plains, Highland Park, and Medford. College students are from SUNY Purchase, Rutgers, University of the Arts, Raritan Valley Community College, and Columbia University. In addition to Spain, Iran, Ireland, and the Philippines, there is an entry from Slovakia. Topics cover a wide range. “There is a personal narrative drama about a family going back to the Jersey shore af ter losing t heir home to Hurricane Sandy,” Ms. Liu said. “One is about the economic crisis in Spain, another is a commentary on relationships through social media. The longest one, The Presenter, is by a New Jersey high school student. It’s a kind of sci-fi, dystopian future that will appeal to fans of The Hunger Games. So there is quite a variety.” At the ripe old age of 12, the festival has become a much-anticipated event. “I’ve been working here 10 years, and I always say this is one of my favorite programs that we do,” said Ms. Liu. “Just the vibe — having everybody come together and watch the films, and ask questions of the filmmakers, is pretty special. You just can’t get
that watching a film online. You’re in a room with all of that energy. The filmmakers come, they bring their family and friends. And people in the community who know it come back every year.” —Anne Levin
Rescue The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad responded to 50 calls for service last week. On Monday, July 6, the squad responded to a medical office on the report of a patient suffering an allergic reaction. Upon arrival, the crew discovered an older woman seated on an examination table in a state of obvious distress. She reported having experienced a sudden reaction to food she had recently eaten. An examination revealed a rash on her back, neck, and chest, tingling lips, itching, and wheezing. Given the serious nature of her condition and the potential for rapid deterioration during an allergic reaction, the crew administered an epinephrine injection. When the medication did not provide relief, t he crew monitored t he patient’s condition, maintained her airway, and rapidly transported her to the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro (UMCPP) for further evaluation and treatment. O n T hu r s day, Ju ly 9, the squad responded to a residence as the result of a medical alarm service reporting a fall victim. Upon

The patient, who was aler t and conscious, reported that while attempting to feed her cats, she fell forward and injured her hip. She denied loss of consciousness, dizziness, or other critical symptoms and complained only of pain. An examination revealed a deformed hip, suggesting a fracture. The crew stabilized the injury with pillows and secured the padding. The patient was placed on a scoop stretcher, which allowed for her transfer down from the second floor apartment to the ambulance. She was transported to UMCPP for further evaluation and treatment.

On Friday, July 10, the squad responded to a downtown intersection on the report of a patient with uncontrolled bleeding. Upon arrival, the crew discovered a man who reported that while he was unloading equipment from a truck he lacerated his leg. At the time of the injury, blood began spur ting from the man’s ankle. He reported that attempts to stop the bleeding with rags were unsuccessful, prompting him to call for assistance. Prior to the arrival of the squad, a pressure bandage was applied to the wound. which significantly slowed the bleeding. The crew took the patient’s vital signs, detecting no critical symptoms. Because the
pressure bandage had effectively stopped the bleeding, no further wound care was required. The crew placed the patient on a stretcher and moved him to the ambulance. He was transported to UMCPP for further evaluation and treatment. The Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad is staffed 24 hours a day by approximately 90 volunteer and career personnel. Members of the community who are interested in volunteering with the Squad are encouraged to visit www.pfars.org, email info@pfars.org, or call (609) 924-3338 to learn more about EMS, technical rescue, and administrative opportunities.

Noting Cost and Inconvenience of Town’s “Shortsighted” Policy on Debris Pick Up
To the Editor: I am writing in protest of the town’s policy to only pick up debris during the spring and fall. I think it is a shortsighted decision that is costing people in the town more money than they would spend in any extra taxes required to support an extra truck and driver. During a recent rainstorm the crown from a maple fell down over our driveway, luckily missing our cars. We cut up the wood, which was a three-hour effort that included help from a friend who had a chain saw. With the thought that this was a “significant” storm event, we put it in the street. Over the next two weeks, as we were contacting people in the town (only one of whom returned a phone call as promised, although the mayor did reply to the email we sent), we noticed many, many piles of branches all over town. Eventually, after the town had sent out a worker to give out notices that branches had to be removed or a fine would ensue, I visited Public Works, who told me that the police had to inform Public Works of a storm that was a “significant event,” then the police who sent me to the town administrator, Mark Dashield. In the final phone conversation with Mr. Dashield, he told me that the town would send out a truck only if a significant storm brings down significant debris in a limited area of town. The result of all this is that everyone in Princeton who has had branches fall down must either haul them to the designated location or call in someone to get rid of them, paying individually for something that could be done much more inexpensively on a neighborhood basis. (Of course that’s why we have government — it’s too hard for individual citizens to organize a group effort in a situation

Books Poet Tracy K. Smith Named Director Of University’s Creative Writing Program
Tracy K. Smith P r i n ce ton Un iver s it y’s Lewis Center for the Arts named Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Tracy K. Smith as the new director of the Un iversit y’s P rog ram in Creative Writing. A professor of Creative Writing on the Princeton faculty since 2005, she succeeds National Book Award finalist and poet Susan Wheeler, who has led the program since 2011. “I’m delighted that Tracy has agreed to take on this leadership role in our worldrenowned, undergraduatefocused program in Creative Writing,” notes Michael Cadden, chair of the Lewis Center. “A brilliant wordsmith in both poetry and prose as well as a life-changing teacher, Tracy embodies everything that is best about the arts at Princeton and is a most worthy successor to our colleague Susan Wheeler. I look forward to working with her on her vision for the future of what is already an extraordinary program.” “I have such deep gratitude and enthusiasm for the community of writers and students here at Princeton,” says Ms. Smith. “I’m delighted to step into a position I’ve watched several of my colleagues navigate with such generosity, insight, and grace.” Ms. Smith is the author of the memoir Ordinary Light (2015) and three poetr y collections: Life on Mars
(2011), winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize and named as a “Best Book of the Year” by The New Yorker, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal, a “Notable Book of 2011” by the New York Times, and as an “Editor’s Choice” by the New York Times Book Review ; Duende (2007), winner of the James Laughlin Award and the Essence Literary Award; and The Body’s Question (2003), winner of the Cave Canem Poetry Prize. Smith is also the recipient of the Academy of American Poets Fellowship, a Rona Jaffe Award, and a Whiting Award. Born in Massachusetts and raised in northern California, she earned her AB from Harvard University and an MFA in creative w riting from Columbia University. From 1997 to 1999 she was a Stegner Fellow in poetry at Stanford University. She taught at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York, the University of Pittsburgh, and Columbia University before joining the faculty at Princeton. Cur rently the Creative Wr iting facult y includes award-winning writers Jeffrey Eugenides, Chang-rae Lee, Paul Muldoon, James Richardson, Susan Wheeler, and Edmund White, along with Smith and Jhumpa Lahiri, who joins the faculty in September. Other writers teaching this fall include Michael Dickman, A.M. Homes, Christina Lazaridi, Patrick McGrath, Fiona Maazel, Idra Novey, Hanna Pylväinen, and Monica Youn. “For those students serious about becoming writers, the one-on-one mentoring and intimate workshops we offer are on par with the attention and rigor characterizing the best MFA programs,” notes the new director. “Regardless what our students decide to do after graduation, the experience of working alongside such illustrious writers changes their view of language and literature immeasurably.”

Cyclists were in favor of the idea as a step toward making Princeton a more bike-friendly town. But some residents of Hamilton Avenue resisted the removal of on-street parking. Princeton was designated a Bicycle Friendly Community by The League of American Bicyclists. “Because of the way our town is planned along with our demographics, we have great opportunities to be able to use modes of transportation other than our cars,” Ms. Stockton said. “We are a cosmopolitan community of people who travel and are used to seeing bicycle-friendly places elsewhere. And they want to see that here.” Members of the public can obtain documents to participate in the planning process on the town’s website, www.princetonnj.gov. As more information on the study becomes available, it will be posted and disseminated through social media. After the project kickoff this fall, a wikimapping application will be made available for mapping routes and destinations, and providing comments. The public can also email comments about the plan to engineering @ princetonnj.gov. —Anne Levin
turns the Princeton Planning Board’s decision,” said PBS President Jerry Hurwitz. “But if she rules against us, we will have a chance to appeal her decision in Appellate Court in front of three judges; this would be a completely new trial.” Mr. Hurwitz said that the PBS were surprised that the Institute was moving ahead with the project before the appeals process had played out. “Af ter all this isn’t something that can be put back, once disturbed, and that was the argument for the injunction, irreparable harm could be done,” he said, adding his hope that it won’t come to that. “We hope that the Institute will settle this rather than see its reputation besmirched by building on hallowed ground that is the core area of the battlefield.” PBS has long opposed the Institute’s plans, raising the need to protect “hallowed ground” as well as environmental concerns. In addition to wanting the Princeton Planning Board’s approval overturned, it is also appealing the most recent decision by the Delaware and Raritan Canal Commission (DRCC) to approve the Institute’s plans as amended following the Commission’s requirement that it avoid encroachment into a stream corridor. A recent archeological study of the site, conducted by the archeological firm, the Ottery Group, over the past year, collected 663 artifacts of which ten are reported as being related to the Battle of Princeton: five musket balls and five pieces of grapeshot. PBS has criticized the survey, which was paid for by the Institute in response to a Planning Board request. The Ottery Group’s report describes the site, known as Maxwell’s Field, as “a significant archeological site and historic landscape associated with the Battle of Princeton.” A link to the report is available on the Institute’s website: www.ias.edu/iasstatement-faculty-housing. M r. H u r w i t z r e m a i n s hopeful that if enough light is shone on this issue, the battlefield will be saved. “We could raise the money to buy the site from the In-

Princeton Non-Profit Leader To Speak at Oxford University
Community Options’ President and CEO Robert Stack will be the keynote speaker at the University of Oxford Childhood Education and Issues Program on July 22. Mr. Stack will speak on the subject of “Inclusion for students with disabilities into the workplace.” He will discuss the successful Princeton School to Employment Program based out of the non-profit organization’s office at 305 Witherspoon Street and the ramifications of implementing a similar program in the United Kingdom. The Princeton program has served as a template for replication in South Carolina. The School to Employment Program (STEP) enables students with autism and intellectual disabilities to intern in jobs before their 21st birthday enabling them to matriculate into paid employment. “So many students with disabilities have never been exposed to the world of work and soon find themselves with nothing to do except languish at home causing frustration for both
them and their parents,” said Mr. Stack. “We enjoy working in tandem with the schools as our staff scouts out potential job matches for students with disabilities looking to do something meaningful when they are done with school. Our dedicated and trained staff and job developers know what they are doing and work really hard to find the perfect match.” Community Options is a national based nonprofit organ i z at ion suppor t ing thousands of people with disabilities throughout the United States. For over 25 years, Community Options has developed housing and employment programs for people with disabilities. Community Options operates with a budget over $107 million and serves thousands of people with disabilities through 38 offices across 9 states. Providing advocacy assistance to empower people with disabilities, Community Options believes that all people — regardless of disability level — should live and work in the community with dignity, choice, and self-determination. A registered Private Voluntary Organization (PVO) with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Community Options is also the pioneer of innovative programs for people with disabilities in the Middle East, Russia, and South America.

Scout, Atticus, Harper Lee Abide as “Mockingbird’s” Companion Volume Finally Arrives
“W
hy is it that everything I have loved on this earth has gone away from me in two day’s time?” wonders Jean Louise Finch a little over halfway through Harper Lee’s longawaited (to put it mildly) Go Set a Watchman (Harper Collins $27.99). To Kill a Mockingbird’s Scout has grown up, is living in New York City, and has returned to her Alabama hometown, Maycomb, during what might be called the post-Brown v Board of Education era. Her cry from the heart follows a shattering encounter with Calpurnia, the black woman who raised and loved her and her brother Jem, and is now a remote figure on the other side of the racial divide the colorblind Jean Louise is struggling to comprehend. There the old woman sits, “in a haughty dignity that appeared on state occasions … wearing her company manners,” her face “a million tiny wrinkles, and her eyes dim behind thick lenses … no hint of compassion” in them, even as Jean Louise begs her, “I’m your baby, have you forgotten me? Why are you shutting me out? What are you doing to me?” Looking for Atticus If you believe the New York Times’ Michiko Kakutani, who says nothing in her July 11 review about the crucial, stunning scene with Calpurnia, the main thing you need to know about Go Set a Watchman is the damage it does to the world’s shining image of Atticus Finch, “the ideal father” and “principled idealist, an enlightened, almost saintly believer in justice and fairness” familiar to millions as “the perfect man” played by Gregory Peck in the 1962 film. Says Kakutani, Watchman is “a lumpy tale … a distressing narrative filled with characters spouting hate speech” unlike its predecessor, “a redemptive novel associated with the civil rights movement.” The fallen hero has become a “bigot” with “evil views,” “a racist who once attended a Klan meeting” — true enough, except that his motive was to see who was hiding behind the hoods. Looking online for a wiser alternative to Kakutani, I found The Guardian’s Mark Lawson, who sees in Watchman “a revelation and genuine literary event, akin to the discovery of extra sections from T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land or a missing act from Hamlet hinting that the prince may have killed his father.” The reference to Hamlet is a stretch, but it comes closer to what’s actually going on in the new novel than Kakutani’s overstated mourning of “the ideal father.” Unlike Hamlet, who at least tries to determine if his spectral father’s message is legitimate, Jean Louise Finch jumps to the darkest conclusion and works herself into a frenzy denouncing the 72-year-old arthritic Atticus on the strength of his presence at a “citizen’s committee” meeting where the guest speaker is a fire-breathing racist. After grilling him on his benighted view of “the Negro problem,” she ends by calling her father “a coward as well as a snob and a tyrant,” no better than Hitler and “that crowd in Russia.” Shaken by the scene
(“God in heaven take me away … God in heaven take me away from here”), she comes down to earth with the help of her Uncle Jack, who seems to be an earthly surrogate for the Biblical watchman of the title she needs to lead her around and tell her “this is what a man says but this is what he means, to draw a line down the middle and say here is this justice and there is that justice” and make her “understand the difference.” Still Atticus Imagine how it would have been to read Watchman before Mockingbird (as might have happened had the manuscript been published as first submitted), to go from Jean Louise’s loss of everything that she loved to Scout’s childhood to learn why she felt so outraged, so betrayed, and to see Atticus the avatar of gentle wisdom and tolerance rising from the ashes of his adult daughter’s despair. Now at last the whole stor y has been told, both sides, Go Set a Watchman being not so much a prequel or a sequel as a companion volu me, one half of a latein-coming whole. And if you do justice to the new novel, if you let the Watchman lead you, you’ll see that Atticus is still the man he was in Mockingbird, 20 years older and stoically ailing, perhaps no wiser, the aura of his finest hour long gone, but he’s as far as he ever was from, as Kakutani sees it, “evil views.” “As You Please” What finally unhinges Jean Louise is the way Atticus remains in character throughout the inquisition, responding to her accusations with his customary quiet steady courtroom demeanor. The “ideal father” abides, profoundly human, fallible, steadfast, undaunted, as his daughter provokes and lectures and insults him. His response to the absurdity of the Hitler remark is to smile and say, “Hitler, eh?” When she says “You’re the only person I think I ever really trusted and now I’m done for,” he says, “I’ve killed you, Scout. I had to.” (Think of Hamlet’s ghost appearing in Act Five and saying “I’ve killed you, I had to” to his dying son.) This curious statement leads her to accuse him of “double-talk”
and then to declare “I despise you and everything you stand for.” His response is, “Well, I love you,” which further infuriates her. Two phrases from Atticus are particularly devastating. When she vows she’s going away and never coming back, he says, “As you please,” inspiring her to revert to Scout’s language (“You double dealing, ring-tailed old son of a bitch”). After twice being called a son of a bitch, Atticus says, “That’ll do, Jean Louise.” This is when she flees the scene, thinking “That’ll do, his general call to order in the days when she believed. So he kills me and gives it a twist.” She comes back to the thought as the next chapter opens: “I love you. As you please. Had he not said that, perhaps she would have survived. If he had fought her fairly, she could have flung his wor d s b a c k at h im, but she could not catch mercury and hold it in her hands.” Time for the watchm a n, Un cl e Jack, to come to the rescue, b u t i n s te a d of gentle guidance, he gives her “a savage backhand swipe full on the mouth” that draws blood and jerks her head “to the left to meet his hand coming viciously back.” In the s t a t e s h e ’s in, the blow delivered by philosophical old Dr. Finch does more than awaken her, it brings her back to life. Still Scout The qualities that endeared Scout to readers of Mockingbird are still present in the new book, where she’s remembered as “a juvenile desperado, hellraiser extraordinaire,” an “overalled, fractious, gunslinging creature.” It’s still her story, still her ins and outs, hits and misses, highs and lows that concern and engage us. It’s her sense of humor, her sense of person and place, that keeps us smiling, reading, caring, and feeling for her. There’s a glimpse of grown-up Scout from her father’s point of view early in Watchman, before her loss of faith. When she talks back to the forever uptight Aunt Alexandra, Atticus raises his eyebrows “in warning” as he watches “his daughter’s daemon rise and dominate her: her eyebrows, like his, were lifted, the heavy-

lidded eyes beneath them grew round, and one corner of her mouth was raised dangerously. When she looked thus, only God and Robert Browning knew what she was likely to say.” Clearly Atticus knows his daughter’s ways, her limits, her excesses, and how much he and she have in common. When he tells her “That’ll do, Scout,” using the term that will disarm her in their confrontation at the end, she smiles because “when registering disapprobation he always reverted back to her childhood nickname.” Near the end, after her daemon subjects him to a cross-examination, like some prosecuting attorney from the North, it’s “That’ll do, Jean Louise.” Bloom’s View I wonder what that great Shakespearean watchman Harold Bloom would make of the Guardian’s Hamlet analogy. Introducing the essays collected in his guide to To Kill a Mockingbird (Infobase 2010), Bloom observes after rereading the novel that Scout “retains much of her charm as a classic American tomboy” and wonders whether the book, “like J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye,” is “a legitimate descendant of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, our classic romance of American childhood.” He finds that “Scout is indeed Harper Lee’s book, being not only its narrator but much of its most interesting consciousness. Yet her deepest relation to Huck Finn, from whom she derives, is that, like him, she essentially cannot change.” It’s almost as if Go Set a Watchman was finally released in response to Bloom, showing that, for better or worse, Scout does change, with some help from the watchman. Anyone who reads the new book all the way through to the healing final chapter will know that the character of Atticus has been deepened, not diminished, and that his daughter loves him even more than she did before, an enlightened love, learned in battle with the father she “tried to obliterate and grind into the earth.” Her rationale for wanting to “stamp out all the people like him” is to think “they’re the drag and we’re the thrust, together we make the thing fly. Too much of us, we’re nose-heavy, too much of them and we’re tail-heavy — it’s a matter of balance.” New Salinger Next? ifty-five years ago Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird was published. Fifty years ago J.D Salinger’s last work of fiction, Hapworth 16, 1924, appeared in the pages of The New Yorker and was scheduled for a 1997 publication by a small press in Virginia, until Michiko Kakutani pounced (see “J.D. Salinger’s Letter from Camp Returned to Sender,” Town Topics, Sept. 13, 2006); no doubt Ms. Kakutani is waiting in the shadows, ready to inflict her agenda on the promised new work by Salinger, which, should it actually appear, would make 2015 a year of landmark literary revelations. —Stuart Mitchner

Art A “Fairy Garden” Appears Across From Teresa’s Caffe
LANDSCAPE ARTISTRY: Landscape artist Peter Soderman has transformed an unused corner of the alleyway between Palmer Square and Witherspoon Street, opposite the Teresa Caffe, into a miniature world that elicits smiles from passersby. (Photo by Linda Arntzenius)
Anyone strolling through the alleyway between Palmer Square and Witherspoon Street these days will find a tiny garden tucked away in a corner opposite the outdoor dining spot of Teresa’s Caffe. If you haven’t yet seen it, it’s worth finding — and observing the reaction of town residents who come upon it for the first time. Passers-by are generally enchanted. Bounded by slim logs of silver birch, the garden is just a few square feet and yet to a child’s imagination it offers a wealth of possibility. Lichen covered rocks and remnants of wood are interspersed with a selection of flowering plants, mosses, and ferns forming a “fairy garden” in a formerly unused spot. The nurturing hand behind this miniature elfland kingdom is landscape artist Peter Soderman who is known for his playful attitude — he’s been known to describe himself as the “Jackson Pollock of Lawn Care” and the “Court Jester of Synchronicity.” A graduate of Princeton High School, Mr. Soderman 3.5x4 adFork v2.qxp attended Union6/29/06 military school in Virginia. As a child
growing up in Princeton, he was the consummate athlete hanging out on the playing fields with his two brothers. He also spent a lot of time in the woods and was a boy scout in Troop 88. In his 30s and early 40s, Mr. Soderman studied with the famed New Jersey naturalist Tom Browne ( “The Tracker”), from whom he learned tracking and survival skills. He has a love of transforming vacant spaces. Several years ago, he turned an empty lot on Paul Robeson Place, behind the Mediterra restaurant and The Terra Mom o Bre ad C ompa ny, into The Herban Garden. That became a launching pad for other such projects including the popular Writers Block, which revitalized another lot on Paul Robeson Place that had been lying empty for over a decade into a venue for arts and artists that is still spoken off with fondness by Princeton residents. The Herban Garden came about when restauranteur Carlo Momo asked Mr. Soderman to plant some tomatoes for him. A few initial plantings turned 4:54 PM Page 1 into a productive farmers market and

ultimately an art venue. It was the first of a series of Mr. Soderman’s socially redemptive projects. Most recently, he was involved with the design team behind the Princeton Parklet outside Small World Cafe on Witherspoon Street. Asked about upcoming projects, Mr. Soderman declined to share his plans. What he will say is that, at one time, believe it or not, he wanted to be, “a highly spiritual evolved being as an adult” and that he studied to be a minister when he was in his early 20s in Philadelphia. He claims to have fallen into landscape design by default. If so, he seems to have found his calling. Chances are he has something up his sleeve. —Linda Arntzenius
Art Contest, Exhibition To Focus on Heroin Abuse
The Drug Enforcement Administration-New Jersey Division and the New York/ New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) in conjunction with the Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey and the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse are pleased to announce their sponsorship of a statewide Heroin Addiction Art Contest and Exhibition. Heroin abuse has been a major problem in New Jersey. In 2013, there were a total of 26,835 admissions to treatment facilities for heroin abuse in New Jersey. Of that total, approximately 30 percent of admissions were for indiv iduals be tween 18 and 25 years of age, the largest total of any age group. “This contest is a great way for New Jersey residents to use their creative talents to spread the word about heroin addiction,” said Carl J. Kotowski, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New Jersey Division. “Our aim is to raise awareness about this problem and to reduce heroin addiction and overdoses.” Angelo Valente, executive director of the Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey said, “This exhibit will play a significant role in raising awareness about the toll heroin abuse can have on the individual and on the community.” The art contest is open to all residents of New Jersey. The winner will receive a grand prize of $500 and statewide recognition. The deadline for subm ission of the artwork is July 28.

Heavy Industry on View At Michener Art Museum
The exhibition, “Iron and Coal, Petroleum and Steel: Indus t r ial A r t f rom t he Steidle Collection” has just opened at the James A. Michener Art Museum and will run through October 25 in the Museum’s Martin Wing. While molten steel, billowing smoke, soot-covered miners, and the jagged geometry of mills and factories covering vast tracts of land may not be the usual sub-
jects for artists, as seen on the canvases on display in this exhibition, they can be transformed into objects of sublime beauty. Organized by Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, the Michener‘s Gerry and Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator, the exhibition is drawn from the Steidle Collection at the Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum and Art Gallery at The Pennsylvania State University. The collection was assembled by Edward Steidle (1887-1977), Dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from 1928 to 1953. Mr. Steidle purchased and commissioned these paintings to visually demonstrate the various industrial processes and the critical role of the extractive industries in Pennsylvania to his students. The bulk of the collection was assembled during the Great Depression, a time when Americans needed reassurance about their country‘s economic stability. Rather than turn a critical eye toward industry, most of the paintings celebrate the states industrial power, its gleaming refineries, glowing furnaces, and its proud workers, who rise from the canvas like modern heroes, draped in the tools of their trade. Generously supported by The Hanigan Family & Pzena Investment Management, the exhibition includes several public programs including a Curator’s Gallery Talk on Wednesday, August 5 and a Curator’s Lecture, titled “The Industrial Sublime,” on Tuesday, Sep tember 8. A guest lecture, titled “Steidle’s Vision: Art as Education,” by Julianne Snider, assistant director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum & Art Gallery at Penn State University, will take place Tuesday, September 29. Besides work by familiar artists such as Aaron Gorson and Rockwell Kent, the exhibition features lesser known artists, a significant number of whom are women, most native Pennsylvanians. “So much of Pennsylvania‘s or ig inal indust r ies have long since disappeared,“ noted Ms. Jensen, “that these paintings are significant historically in providing viewers a unique window into the past.

f orchestras nationwide are struggling financially, those who create for these orchestras are surely further behind. Just as musicians are compelled to play, composers must write, and often opportunities to present the fruits of their labor are few and far between. New Jersey Symphony Orchestra (NJSO) provided such an opportunity last week with a Composition Institute held at Princeton University that culminated in a concert Thursday night at Richardson Auditorium. The four composers who participated in the 2015 NJSO Edward T. Cone Composition Institute not only were mentored through the process of creating a work for the orchestra, but were also counseled on the business side of classical music. Institute Director Steven Mackey programmed the concert at Richardson Auditorium with four works from these very diverse composers. Shuying Li began her music education in her native China, and has received multiple degrees from American musical institutions. Taken by the poetry of Dylan Thomas, Ms. Li composed a work inspired by Thomas’s “Do not go gently into that good night.” Ms. Li explained that throughout her compositional career, she has insisted on her own musical personality, which proved to have a gentle touch with orchestration. Her one-movement Do Not Go Gently Into That Good Night was infused with lightly winding strings and raindrops of sound from other instruments. Conductor Joann Falletta led the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra through smooth 7/8 passages, controlling the ensemble well through transitions among sections. Clarinet lines from Karl Herman and Andrew Lamy added to the orchestral palette. Each composer introduced their own work in this concert which Ms. Falletta called an “evening of discoveries.” Reinaldo Moya explained that he likes to write about “places that don’t exist,” and based his two-movement Siempre Lunes, Siempre Marzo on Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude. In his work, Mr. Moya composed a character study, taking the audience on a journey through the novel from the point of view of a central room in the story. Siempre Lunes, Siempre Marzo showed innovative and animated orchestration, with a mournful trumpet solo and elegant viola answered by flute. One could hear a new world opening up as the children

of the novel touch ice for the first time, with lush orchestral colors accompanying a solo horn paired with piccolo. Philadelphia composer Luke Carlson’s The Burnished Tide was commissioned by the Aspen Music Festival, and was focused on the brief span of time during sunrise and sunset known as the “Golden Hour.” Dr. Carlson built the piece on a 12-note chord which recurs throughout the work in various forms. The Burnished Tide was more forceful than the previous pieces heard on the program, ebbing and flowing in intensity. Unique colors were provided by English horn, played by Andrew Adelson, and the orchestration was further marked by a great deal of trumpet. Brendan Faegre is clearly a product of his times, incorporating jazz, rock, and diverse world music into his compositions. Dirt to Gold was inspired by the music and ideas of American songwriter and singer Beck Hansen, as well as the idea of transforming seemingly worthless things into works of art. The most unusual of these ideas was the use of aluminum foil incorporated into traditional instruments such as trombone or violin to create a unique musical effect. Mr. Faegre also built Dirt to Gold around an ostinato drumbeat taken from one of Beck Hansen’s songs, providing a basis for jazz colors. Mentor Steven Mackey closed the concert with one of his own pieces — Urban Ocean — which was commissioned in 2013 by the Aquarium of the Pacific. One immediately heard the orchestral sophistication and complexity of a composer well into the success of his career, as the lower strings depicted the sweep of the ocean. Mr. Mackey’s work also showed clever interplay between percussion and winds as the “tidal battle” of Urban Ocean showed that, in Mr. Mackey’s musical view, the ocean will always win. JSO’s Composition Institute provided an invaluable service to the composition field and the next generation of composers, and the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra has always been a willing participant in promoting new music. Hopefully, the audience last Thursday night will be able to look back on the works heard with the eagerness of watching these composers become successful in their own right. —Nancy Plum

Music and Theater Two Ballet “Summer Intensives” Take Place Right Here in Princeton Each summer, serious ballet students across the country take advantage of their time off from academics to shift their training schedules into high gear. Instead of a few classes a week, they take a few classes a day — six days a week. Summer Intensives, as they are known, are the students’ chance to ramp up technique and try different dance styles. Princeton is home to two such programs, both of which attract aspir ing dancers locally and from across the world. At Princeton Ballet School (PB) in the Shopping Center and Princeton Dance and Theater Studio at Forrestal Village, students spend a good chunk of their summer vacations at the barre with an impressive roster of teachers, some of whom are ballet stars of the past. “I see massive improvements in students after an intensive,” says Risa Kaplowitz, founder/director of Pr inceton Dance and Theater Studio, where this summer’s faculty included former American Ballet Theatre principal dancers Susan Jaffe and Cynthia Gregory, former Pennsylvania Ballet artistic director Roy Kaiser, and former Paris Opera Ballet and San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Karin Aver t y. Sarah Hay, who danced with the Dresden Semperoper Ballett in Germany and is the leading actress on the Starz network series Flesh and Bone, led a master class. Ms. Hay is also on the impressive roster of teachers at Princeton Ballet School, wh ich is af f iliate d w it h American Repertory Ballet (ARB) and has been offering summer programs for more than three decades. Ms. Hay is one of three alumni of the school to give master classes this summer. The others are Unity Phelan, now with the New York City Ballet; and Michael Mindlin, who is in the Broadway show Aladdin. Renee Brow n, new
to the program this year, taught Afro-Brazilian samba. Students at the PB program take regular classes with ARB’s artistic director Douglas Martin and resident choreographer Mary Barton, as well as Maria Youskevitch, Kathleen Moore, Kirk Peterson, and Trinette Singleton — all notable dancers of the past. Mary Pat Robertson, the school’s director, said the summer program has “a very intellectual, thoughtful approach to technique.” Once a week, she gives a class in body mechanics, designed to show the students how to look at structural issues. “They can use this time to step back from regular classes and integrate everything they’re being taught,” she said. “We encourage them to reflect on what they’re getting here, to understand how technique works. I want them to be teenagers but also be very mature learners, simultaneously.” Princeton Dance and Theatre School has 32 students at its Summer Intensive. The dancers live in dormitories at The Lawrenceville School. Princeton Ballet School’s program has 100 aspir ing dancers, 60 of whom live in dormitories at Princeton University or with local families. The remainder are locally based. Both programs select participants through auditions. The two schools take advantage of Princeton’s proximity to New York. Princeton Dance and Theater students went to Lincoln Center to see American Ballet Theatre’s production of Cinderella, and Princeton Ballet School is taking its dancers to see the dance-focused Broadway musical An American in Paris. They also get their own p er for mance oppor t u n i ties. This Friday, June 24 at 1 p.m., Princeton Dance and Theater students will p e r fo r m e xc e r p t s f r o m the classical ballet Coppelia and other works at the
Kirby Arts Center on the Lawrenceville School campus. Tickets, available at the door, are $10. Princeton Ballet School’s Summer Intensive students will appear at McCarter Theatre’s Berlind Theatre on Friday, July 31, 6:30 p.m. in original works by Ms. Barton, Janell Byrne, and others, as well as staged excerpts. Limited tickets will be available through the website arballet.org. “The intensives are so impor tant because the students are getting information they might not be getting elsewhere,” Ms. Kaplowitz said. “Every teacher is different and has an individual approach. During the school year, the students are balancing so much. This is a time when they can do six classes a day, six days a week. You have to put in the time to get the benefits, and this is where you can do just that.” —Anne Levin
McCarter Opens Season With “Baby Doll”
Tennessee Williams’ Baby Doll was condemned in its time for its tale of commercial and erotic vengeance. Now, a new adaptation of Williams’ 1956 film masterpiece makes its American premiere at McCarter Theatre Center on September 11 through October 11, 2015. T he cast includes Patricia Conolly (Aunt Rose Comfort), Susannah Hoffman ( Baby Doll), Robert Joy (Archie Lee), Brian McCann (Sheriff), and Dylan McDermott (Silva Vacarro). French t heat re w r iter, adaptor, and director Pierre Laville wrote a new adaptation of Baby Doll which premiered to critical praise in Paris at the Théâtre de l’Atelier in 2009. Laville, having worked as a translator of Emily Mann’s work on numerous occasions, suggested she adapt the piece for an American audience. Mann, having directed a number of other major Tennessee Williams’ productions in the past, began the process of shaping Baby Doll anew by streamlining the story and pacing. A reading of the Laville/Mann adaptation was featured as

I’ve directed many of his plays, including The Glass Menagerie, A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Baby Doll is another glorious Wil-
liams creation. Funny, erotic, and dangerous — it’s a love story, but it’s also about the awakening of a young woman — both in terms of her sexuality and her own agency.” In addition to 25 fulllength plays, Williams produced dozens of short plays and screenplays, two novels, a novella, 60 short stories,
over 100 poems and an autobiography. Among his many awards, he won two Pulitzer Prizes and four New York Drama Critics’ Circle Awards. For tickets, call ( 609 ) 258-2787 or visit http:// mccarter.org/babydoll. McCarter Theatre is located at 91 University Place in Princeton.

Ex-Champ Mounts Comeback in Bittersweet Boxing Movie
B
However, he was fortunate enough to meet Maureen (Rachel McAdams) in the orphanage in which they were growing up in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen. The two fell madly in love and she would serve as the rock who kept him out of trouble, especially after he’s had a couple of brief stints behind bars. As Billy worked his way up through the boxing ranks, the childhood sweethearts married and had a daughter, Leila (Oona Laurence). Maureen repeatedly inspired her husband to climb into the ring to channel his aggression positively, rather than entertain any ideas of blowing off steam in a self-destructive fashion. By the time his record reached 43-0, Billy and his family were living beyond their means in a gaudy house where they conspicuously displayed the trappings of their new found wealth: flashy cars, gaudy jewelry, champagne, and so forth. However, with his parasitic entourage and a shady money manager, Jordan Mains (50 Cent), it was clear that he’d have to keep on winning in order to maintain his extravagant lifestyle. Sure enough, after a terrible personal tragedy, Billy lost the title belt and found himself broke and back on the streets he’d worked so hard to escape. Abandoned by his hangers-on and by his manager, he ends up at a gym in Harlem run by an irascible trainer Tick Willis (Forest Whitaker). The salty veteran, who is on the verge of retirement, reluctantly agrees to take on Billy on the condition that he would be willing to make some changes to his boxing skills. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film features another excellent performance by Jake Gyllenhaal who deserved Academy Award nominations for Nightcrawler (2014) and Prisoners (2013). In this movie he is nothing short of mesmerizing in his role as a desperate, disgraced champion on a mission to reclaim his title and his fortune. Excellent (HHHH) Rated R for violence and profanity. Running time: 123 minutes. DistribuTHE NEW WORLD LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CHAMPION: Billy Hope tor: The Weinstein Company.

Drawing a Crowd of PU Sports Luminaries to Conte’s, A Night With Coaches Raises $150,000 to Fight A-T
P
ete Carril and John Thompson III closed down the bar at Conte’s Pizza many times over the years when they coached together for the Princeton University men’s basketball team, engaging in marathon post-game gatherings at the venerable Witherspoon Street hang-out that would sometimes go into the wee hours of the morning. Last Wednesday, Carril, the legendary former Princeton men’s hoops head coach, and Thompson, a former Tigers basketball star, assistant coach, and current head coach at Georgetown, along with Jason Garrett, a former Princeton football star and the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, brought down a packed house at Conte’s as they headlined “A Night with Coaches.” The event was presented by Derek’s Dreams, a group organized in 2009 to raise money to fight ataxia telangiectasia, know as A-T, for short, a rare genetic neuro-muscular disease which afflicts Derek DiGregorio, 17, a rising senior at Princeton High. Attracting 120 people to Conte’s, more than $150,000 was raised to benefit the A-T Children’s Project. In addition to Derek, an ever-smiling presence near the front door of Conte’s, other luminaries on hand included Princeton Director of Athletics Mollie Marcoux, former Princeton AD Gary Walters, past Princeton President Bill Bowen, head football coach Bob Surace, head men’s basketball coach Mitch Henderson, and former Princeton and New York Giants running back Keith Elias, among many others. For Derek’s father, Steve DiGregorio, a former Princeton assistant football coach, the outpouring of support was overwhelming. “I think one of the reasons I felt so good about tonight was that we are having it at Conte’s,” said DiGregorio, whose opening remarks were followed by a video of Derek’s acceptance speech when he received the Mike Geltrude Foundation Inspiration Award last month. “We have all been here and everywhere you look, there is a friend, there is a familiar face, there is a relative and it is just so good to have all of you here tonight. This is an amazing room. Nadia and I and my family thank you so much for being part of this tonight and making this so amazing. Go and try to find a place anywhere on earth, there is nowhere as good as this room. Look around and you see things that are extraordinary and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.” Coach Thompson, for his part, credited Derek with bringing together that group of people. “I want to thank Derek because I don’t know how many more times that I would have the opportunity to be in a room with this group of people,” said Thompson, the head men’s basketball coach at Princeton from 2000-04 before moving on to the same job
at Georgetown. “This room has meant so much to me as a person and my growth and development. Any chance I get to come back to Conte’s, I am coming back to Conte’s. To be here with this group of people is something that is special for me, there are so many people here who have shaped who I am, why I am, how I think. That relates to coaching, that relates to being a father, that relates to being a man, that relates to being John Thompson.” Sharing the platform with Carril had special meaning for Thompson. From his first meeting with Carril, Thompson realized that his college mentor had a lot in common with his father, John Thompson, who enjoyed a Hall of Fame tenure at Georgetown from 1972-1999. “I go on my recruiting trip and we are sitting up in the stands, coach Carril and I,” recalled Thompson, a star forward at Princeton from 1984-88 who ranks fourth in assists (347) in program history. “We are sitting up there and it felt like three hours, it was probably only 20 minutes. Coach Carril is telling me how much I stink. You need to work on this and you are not good at this and you are going to be on the JVs if you don’t do this. I walked away from that thinking that he reminded me so much of my dad. I remember going back home and my dad said what do you think, I said it is OK. He said if you go there you are going to learn how to play basketball, you are going to understand this game, that man knows what he is doing, and so I came here. I loved this place; it sounds crazy with coach up there telling me how much I stink.” Returning to Conte’s last Wednesday was like going home for Carril. “We would come here after a game, that was a ritual as a coaching staff,” said a grinning Carril. “We stayed a little bit later than we should. I always think those were great days. It brought the staff closer together, we talked about nothing but basketball and how we could get better and about the game and everything. It was really nice. We would drink a lot of beer, which we always felt was for medicinal purposes.” One of Carril’s former charges, Howard Levy, a member of the committee that organized the Night with Coaches, saw Conte’s as the ideal venue for the event. “We have spent so many great times here after games as coaches,” said Levy, a hoops star at Princeton from 1981-1985 and Tiger assistant coach from 1996-2007 who currently serves as the head coach of the Mercer County Community College men’s basketball team. “I want to thank Conte’s for hosting. I can’t think of a better or more appropriate place to host this. I feel like the amount of money the people in this room have spent at Conte’s,

NIGHT TO REMEMBER: Members of the DiGregorio family, from left, Aaron, Nadia, Derek, Steve, and Zack, share a laugh with legendary coaches, from left, John Thompson III, Jason Garrett, and Pete Carril last Wednesday at Conte’s Pizza. Thompson, Garrett, and Carril headlined “A Night with Coaches,” an event held at the venerable Witherspoon Street hang-out to raise money to fight ataxia telangiectasia, know as A-T, for short, a rare genetic neuro-muscular disease which afflicts Derek, 17, a rising senior at Princeton High. Attracting 120 people to Conte’s, more than $150,000 was raised to benefit the A-T Children’s Project. (Photo by John Dowers) we probably own a good part.” The $150,000 raised by the people on Wednesday will be put to great use. “This amount of money that we raised is going to be meaningful for the guys and women that are studying this disease,” said Levy, noting that he met last summer with Dr. Yossi Shiloh, who runs a lab in Tel Aviv that focuses on investigating the causes of A-T. “It is going to really help and make a difference with pushing forward the research.” For Garrett, being on hand to help was a no-brainer, considering his relationship with Steve DiGregorio, whom he referred to by his nickname, “Digger.” “It goes back to Digger, I have known Digger a long time and Digger is a dear friend,” said Garrett, who played for DiGregorio at Princeton in the late 1980s. “Digger has been a huge influence on my life and when you have the opportunity to somehow impact someone else’s life, even in the smallest way, you take full advantage of it. When Diggers calls and Verbs (longtime Princeton assistant football coach Steve Verbit) calls on Digger’s behalf, there is not even a thought in your mind. I don’t use the word privileged a lot but we are privileged to be here tonight.” While Garrett has been privileged to be on one of the biggest stages in sports, having been to four Super Bowls during his playing career with the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, he emphasized taking advantage of the experience.
“I think one of the things that happens when you are playing in these big games is that you get get caught up in the results of the game and what it is going to be like to be a Super Bowl champion,” said Garrett. “Sometimes you lose sight of that moment instead of just going out and playing. That is certainly an emphasis for everyone when you are involved in it; enjoy it and embrace the moment and typically you play your best when you do that.” Referring to his book, The Smart Take From the Strong Carril echoed that sentiment in his closing remarks. “The most important statement in the book is that whatever you are doing is the most important thing when you are doing it, that’s a tremendous little line,” said Carril, who turned 85 on July 10 and his birthday was celebrated at the end of the event as he received a personalized Dallas Cowboys jersey from Garrett and a birthday cake. “It is very good, I don’t think I invented it myself but I sure like it and the thought behind it. While you are doing something, give it the best you have and you are going to be fine.” For Levy, it was Derek and his courage in battling A-T that brought the best in those taking part in the special night. “The last thing I will say is thank you to Derek,” said Levy. “I am just going to say that my life is better because you are part of it. You have made so many people in this room into better people and I love you for it.” —Bill Alden

Greg is easy to work with and the work was done well.” — JC, Princeton, NJ
Princeton University men’s basketball rising senior star Hans Brase helped Germany take second at the World University Games last week in South Korea. In the championship game of the competition against the United States, Brase scored six points, grabbed six rebounds and added three assists as the Germans pushed Team USA, made up almost entirely of players from the University of Kansas, to double overtime before falling 84-77. Two of Brase’s buckets were particularly eye-catching, with a two-handed jam to end the half and bring Germany within 38-33, and an off-balance jumper to beat the shot clock and give Germany a 66-62 lead with 1:39 in the fourth quarter. On the way to the final, which was Germany’s firstever title game appearance at the competition, Brase was a major contributor to the Germans’ 6-0 start, which included four wins in pool play, a quarterfinal win over Canada, and a semifinal win over Brazil. For the tournament, Brase averaged 11 points and 7.4 rebounds a game, including a high of 16 points against China and 15 rebounds against South Korea. The list included two double-doubles, with 13 points along with the 15 rebounds against South Korea and 11 points and 10 rebounds against Canada. ———

Extending Team USA’s lead in the second half, Katie Reinprecht notched her second tally of the tournament in the 36th minute. With Katie Reinprecht contributing a goal, Team USA rolled to a 15-0 win over the Dominican Republic in the quarterfinals last Monday. The U.S. will face host Canada in the semifinals on July 22 with the winner advancing to the gold medal game on July 24. Former Princeton field hockey assistant coach Nate Franks ’07 is also with Team USA serving as a performance analyst.

All-Academic Team status was granted to squads that had at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA during the past school year and both Tiger men’s and women’s teams qualified for that honor. In addition, three men’s players, rising junior Jonathan Carcione, recent graduate Michael Katz, and rising sophomore Ben Tso, earned ITA Scholar-Athlete awards for having at least a 3.5 GPA during the past year. Both the men’s and women’s teams advanced to the NCAA tournament in 2015, the women by winning the Ivy League title for the second straight year and the men by earning an at-large bid.

EURO VALUE: Princeton University men’s basketball player Spencer Weisz looks to pass the ball in a game last winter. Last week, rising junior guard Weisz helped Israel finish 10th of 20 teams in the FIBA U-20 European Championship. Starting for Israel, Weisz helped the team go 3-1 in first stage pool play. His best game statistically came in the fourth game when he scored seven points and grabbed nine rebounds in a 70-67 win over Latvia. The 13-day tournament wrapped up last Sunday with Weisz getting six points and five boards as Israel fell 77-69 to Italy in the 9th-10th place game. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)
Months before the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) baseball team started its 2015 season, James Bunn sensed it was going to be a big spring. “In the fall, me and my roommates said this team is special, there is something going on,” said VCU outfielder Bunn, a Princeton resident who starred in soccer, hockey, and baseball for the Pennington School. “We had a core of seniors who didn’t want to be denied.” Catching fire heading into the NCAA tournament, VCU won 10 straight games, including the Atlantic 10 championship series. Playing in the NCAA Regional at Dallas Baptist, the fourthseeded Rams emerged as one of the Cinderella teams of the tourney, upsetting Oregon State and beating host Dallas Baptist twice on the way to winning a regional for the first time in the program’s history. VCU’s magic ride ended when it fell to perennial power, No. 5 Miami, in the Super Regional. Reflecting on the team’s postseason run, Bunn said the Rams were excited to make an impact nationally. “It was the first time in the NCAA for any of the player s,” s a i d t h e 6’0, 180 -pound Bunn, a ris ing senior. “We wanted to battle and grind it out. It put us on the map. It was unbelievable, it still hasn’t hit me what we did.” For Bunn, getting used to the grind of college baseball was one of the main challenges he faced during his freshman campaign at VCU. “I played my entire freshman year and got exhausted; it was 53 games versus 12 to 15 at Pennington,” said Bunn. “It was also adjusting to not being the best player on the team.” It didn’t take long for speedy outfielder Bunn to make an immediate impact for VCU as he went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI in his collegiate debut against Boston College in 2013. “In the first inning I threw out a runner at home,” recalled Bunn. “I came up in the next inning and I was absolutely shaking. I didn’t want to strike out, I swung at the first pitch and hit a grounder to second. I got a
bunt hit the next at bat and then I hit a double off the right field wall to win the game.” Bunn ended up hitting .256 with 52 hits, 36 runs, seven doubles, and nine stolen bases as a freshman, earning Atlantic 10 All-Rookie honors. As a sophomore, Bunn posted a .315 batting average with 63 hits, 44 runs, nine doubles, three triples, and 12 stolen bases. “It was just the confidence know ing that the team trusts me and needs me,” said Bunn, reflecting on the 2014 season. “I was going out, playing my style of baseball and just having fun.” A s VC U e n te r e d t h e NCAAs this spring, it took that approach collectively. “Coach (Shawn Stiffler) said at regionals, no one knows about you so be the team that has the most fun,” said Bunn, who went 4-for-13 in the regional. The Rams didn’t have as much fun in the Super Regional, losing 3-2 and 10-3 at Miami to end the season with a 40-25 record. “It was pretty disappointing, we knew we could stick with them,” said Bunn, who went 2-for-6 with a run and an RBI in the series. “We played one of our worst games of the year in the opener and lost by one run, we made three errors and didn’t hit well.” While Bunn wasn’t thrilled with his numbers this year, he made a solid contribution to VCU’s success. “I had too many strikeouts but once we got to the end and I looked at the stats, I realized I had a pretty good year,” said Bunn. “I hit .284 and was sixth on the team in RBIs (27) with seven stolen bases.” In reflecting on the team’s historic run, Bunn said it came down to work ethic. “It was the will to work; it is the hardest working team I have ever been a part of,” said Bunn, who has been

putting in some good work this summer with the Danbury Westerners of the New England, hitting .258 with five runs and three doubles in 17 games. “ W hen we are in t he weight room, someone will lift something and another guy will do five pounds heavier. We push each other constantly.” L ook ing ahead to h is senior campaign, Bunn is primed for a big final push. “In junior year, your eyes are on stats because it is the first time you can be drafted in college,” said Bunn. “Once you become a senior, you just want to win and play as long as possible. It hit me this year. We lost a lot of pitching depth and we have to make up for that. We do have a lot of position players coming back.” —Bill Alden

Placing 3rd at State Intermediate 50/70 Tourney
Having made history by becoming the first team from the Princeton Little League ( PLL) to win a sectional title, the Princeton squad was looking to write another chapter to its memorable summer as it played in the New Jersey State Intermediate 50/70 tournament last week in Winslow. “The mood was very serious and very determined,” said PLL manager Jon Durbin. “They wanted to do the best that they could, they were dialed in and focused. It was very professional.” PLL showed its focus as it jumped out to an early lead against West Deptford in an opening round contest at the four-team event. “We were up 6-1 after two innings,” recalled Durbin. “ Te d d y ( D u r b i n’s s o n )

“The beauty of it is that they loved playing together and they jelled together,” added Durbin. “A lot of them also play together on travel teams and in different sports, like Dillon basketball.” In Durbin’s view, the accomplishments of the PLL program this summer, which also saw the 9-10 all-star team make it to the District 12 finals, has helped bring the town together. “The run of the Intermediates and the 9-10s had a lot of people enjoying the PLL,” said Durbin. “The Intermediate team, in particular, created a lot of town pride. It is part of Americana; the team becomes a part of the community. It was amazing, all the e-mails and texts I got from people about how we were doing.” —Bill Alden

Even though the Princeton Little League ( PLL) 9-10-year-old all-star team fell 17-4 to Nottingham in the first game of the championship round of the District 12 tournament, Ken Harlan didn’t see any of his players hanging their heads. “They are very loose,” said PLL manager Harlan. “Even after the loss to Nottingham, they were goofy. They just like to have fun.” PLL was looking to have fun as it went into a rematch with Nottingham in a winner-take-all finale last Thursday at Tantum Park in Robbinsville. “I thought we were feeling good, we were focused,” said Harlan. G et ting off to a good start, PLL scored two runs in the top of the first inning and added five in the top of the second to build a 7-0 lead. “I felt good, I was happy with the way we were pitching,” recalled Harlan. Things took an unhappy turn for Princeton, however, as Nottingham scored five runs in the bottom of the second and then exploded for eight in the bottom of the fourth as it pulled away to a 15-9 victory and the district title. “We just had a few plays that got away from us,” la-

mented Harlan. “It was the 10-year-old game. We made some mistakes in the field. We knew it was going to be a high scoring game. Unfortunately we didn’t have the higher number. They had some good hitters.” To the very end, Harlan believed that his hitters were going to come through. “They always played to the last inning and the last out,” said Harlan, who got three hits and two runs apiece from Jensen Bergan and Daniel Harlan in the loss with Spencer Wert going 2-for-4 with 4 RBIs. “We got 9-1-2 on base in top of last inning and I thought we were going to have a rally but then 3-4-5 hit some pop-ups.” While PLL didn’t end up as the top team in the district, Harlan was thrilled with what his players accomplished in their run to the finals. “I am so proud of the team, PLL has not made it to the 10-year-old finals very many times,” said Harlan. “They came together as a group. Everyone contributed, all of the kids had
some part in us getting to the final. We were a very balanced team. The reason we got to the final is that every kid thought they were important. We had kids who pitched, others who hit, and some who made fielding plays.” True to form, the PLL squad was ready to keep

With Guard Klacik Thriving in Leading Role, SAT Smart Advances to Summer Hoops Semis Last winter, Eric Klacik and The College of New Jersey men’s basketball team enjoyed a breakt hrough season. TCNJ pos ted a 15 -11 record, making the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) playoffs for the first time since the 2008 - 09 season. Sophomore guard Klacik, for his part, played a major role in the team’s success, averaging 9.3 points a game. Playing in the Princeton Re c r e at i o n D e p a r t m e nt Summer Men’s Basketball League this year as the SAT Smart/Princeton Soup and Sandwich entry, Klacik and his TCNJ teammates have continued the progress they showed this winter. Pos t ing a 7-2 reg u lar season record, SAT Smart earned the third seed in the league playoffs and faced sixth-seeded Belle Mead Physical Therapy last Monday night in a quarterfinal contest at the Community Park courts. In the early going of the game, it looked like SAT Smar t m ight have been heading for an early exit as it trailed 25-16 late in the first half. But showing some of the grit it developed last winter, the squad closed the half with a 12-2 run to take a 28-27 lead into intermission. “They came out hitting shots, we knew we had to get on the shooters,” said Klacik. “Our shots weren’t really falling. We knew that they were in a zone and eventually we would start hitting some shots. It started with
defense, Nick Alaimo made a bunch of big steals and hit some shots. The guards brought some intensit y, which kind of rattled them. That run was big for the second half, to be up one instead of being down nine.” In the second half, Klacik scored seven points to help SAT Smart to build a 47-40 lead with less than four minutes remaining in regulation. Belle Mead, though, made a late run and narrowed the gap to 48-47 with 19 seconds left before SAT Smart got two clutch free throws from Eric Murdock, Jr. to pull out a 50-47 victory and earn a spot in the league semis on Friday against the victor of the July 22 quarterfinal clash between second-seeded Bring Me Food and seventh-seeded King’s Pizzarama. “I think we were playing not to lose instead of playing to win,” said Klacik, in assessing SAT Smart’s play down the stretch of the contest. “We were being aggressive in times that we shouldn’t and not playing smart. We were able to hit some big free throws at the end to stick it out; we are able to make some stops too.” Klacik, who hit a big free throw in the last minute, ended the evening with a game-high 14 points. “My role is definitely to knock down shots,” said the 5’10, 160-pound Klacik, who hails from Basking Ridge. “I have to be a vocal lead-
er, too. Obviously we don’t have our big man here without Bobby Brackett (who is sidelined with a torn achilles tendon), a lot of minutes open up and there is a lot of leadership that needs to be filled in. I think as one of the main guards I have to take on that role.” Playing together in the summer league should help TCNJ have another big season. “It just keeps us on the steady pace; a lot of teams go home for the summer and they don’t see each other except for once or twice,” said Klacik. “We are here twice a week with each other playing. It just keeps us on the same page. We had a good year this year and we just wanted to build on that.” In K laci k ’s v iew, SAT Smart needs to apply lessons learned last winter as it looks to get into the summer league championship series. “It was the same thing in the season; we just locked up stuff on teams,” said Klacik. “We are downsized without Bobby and our two other bigs, who are from North Jersey so they don’t make the trip down. We are taking rebounding to heart and defense. As long as we are up four or down four with three minutes left in the game, we are fine. We are used to doing that, sticking around with teams. Getting out and hitting shots is big too.” —Bill Alden
CLASSIC LOOK: SAT Smart/Princeton Soup and Sandwich guard Eric Klacik looks to unload the ball in action this season in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League. Last Monday, Klacik scored a game-high 14 points to help third-seeded SAT Smart edge sixth-seeded Belle Mead Physical Therapy 50-47 in the league quarterfinals. The win earned the team a spot in the league semis on Friday against the victor of the July 22 quarterfinal clash between secondseeded Bring Me Food and seventh-seeded King’s Pizzarama. The other semi on Friday will match the winners of quarterfinal contests between top-seeded Ivy Inn and eighth-seeded Princeton Pi and No. 4 seed Aria Health against fifth-seeded and defending champion Winberie’s.

Patricia Crone Patr icia Crone, whose pioneering and innovative approach to the history of Islam has brought about lasting change in the field, died at the age of 70 on July 11, 2015 in Princeton, New Jersey, after a courageous fight against cancer. She was Professor Emerita in the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study, where she served as the Andrew W. Mellon Professor since 1997, before retiring in 2014. Crone’s insightful work compellingly conveyed in her adventurous and unconventional style, shed important new light on the critical importance of the Near East — in particular on the cultural, religious, and intellectual history of Islam — in historical studies. Her influence is strongly felt at the Institute, where, along with Oleg Grabar (1929–2011), Crone helped to establish the Institute as a recognized
center for the pursuit of the study of Islamic culture and histor y. Crone was succeeded in 2014 by Islamic intellectual historian Sabine Schmidtke, who is advancing important scholarship across Islamic culture and history. Born in Kyndeløse, Denmark, on March 28, 1945, Crone studied at Copenhagen University before receiving both her undergraduate education (1969) and PhD (1974) from the School of Oriental and African Studies at t he Universit y of London. Upon earning her PhD, Crone became Senior Research Fellow at the University of London’s Warburg Institute. In 1977, she accepted a position as a University Lecturer in Islamic History and Fellow of Jesus College at the University of Oxford, where she taught for 13 years. Following her time at Oxford, Crone moved to the University of Cambridge and served as an Assistant university lecturer in Islamic Studies and was a Fellow of Gonville and Caius College from 1990-92, after which she was University Lecturer until 1994. Crone was then a University Reader at Cambridge until 1997, when she joined the faculty of the Institute. C r o n e ’s f i r s t b o o k , Hagarism: The Making of the Islamic World (Cambr idge Universit y Press, 1977), written with Michael Cook, had a profound impact on the study of the early centuries of Islam. This was followed by work that closely related to her
doctoral thesis, resulting in two books — Slaves on Horses: The Evolution of Islamic Polity (Cambridge University Press, 1980) and Roman, Provincial and Islamic Law (Cambridge University Press, 1987) — in which Crone explored tribes and tribal culture in early Islam and investigated Roman, provincial, and Islamic law and its connections to Near Eastern legal systems. Crone’s Meccan Trade and the Rise of Islam (Princeton University Press, 1987) challenged the widely accepted understanding of Mecca as a major trade center and presented a powerful perspective on the beginnings of Islam. In addition to her book awards, Crone’s work has been acknowledged by many honors, including the Giorgio Levi Della Vida Medal for Excellence in Islamic Studies (2013) and the Middle East Medievalists Lifetime Achievement Award (2013), which recognizes scholars who have served the field of medieval Middle Eastern Studies with distinction. She was made an honorary member of Gonville and Caius College at the University of Cambridge (2013) and received honorary doctorates from Leiden University (2013) and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem (2014). She was a member of the American Philosophical Society and Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy, as well as the founder and editor of the book series Makers of the Muslim World, which highlights scholars, artists, politicians, and religious leaders who made the Muslim world what it is today. Crone is survived by her siblings Camilla Castenskiold, Clarissa Crone, Diana Crone Frank, and Alexander Crone. The documentary, For the Life of Me: Between Science and the Law, cre-
ated by Diana Crone Frank, depicts Crone’s diagnosis of cancer and follows her quest to research and employ marijuana’s potential cancer-fighting properties and to contextualize its longstanding legal prohibition. There will be an event at the Institute this fall to celebrate Crone’s life and work, and details will be shared in the near future. ———
Helena Tenev H ele na Te n e v, 9 0, of Princeton, New Jersey, died Wednesday, February 25, 2015. Born in Jedrzejów, Poland, she was a resident of Princeton for many years. S h e at te n d e d s c h o ol s in Jedrzejów and Warsaw and, during the period of Nazi occupation when Poland ceased to exist, secret schools organized by the Polish Underground. After the war, she attended the Hochschule für Welthandel (now Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) in Vienna, Austria. During World War II, she became separated from her family and was conscripted into labor in Warsaw. A Polish patriot, she supported the Home Army, the Armija Krajowa; she survived the Warsaw Uprising in 1944, escaped deportation, and returned to her family. In Poland, during the war, she met the late George Tenev, a medical corpsman serving in a Bulgarian Red Cross sanitary train. He returned to find her as hostilities were ending and in 1945, in Prague, they married and lived together for 70 years. After the war, she moved to her husband’s native Bulgaria. An opponent of the communist regime, her husband was imprisoned periodically and tortured; her family was persecuted; her father-in-law was executed
in 1955. In 1957, the couple illegally left Bulgaria with their children, a crime punishable by death. The family lived in a displaced persons camp in Vienna, Austria, and eventually came to the United States. They settled in Yonkers, New York. She worked as a medical technician and became supervisor of the electrocardiogram department at Misericordia Hospital (now Our Lady of Mercy) in New York City. She worked closely with AIDS patients for many years. She was a frequent visitor to New Suffolk, New York and Westerly, Rhode Island and, in retirement, to Menton, France and Cambridge, England. She traveled extensively throughout Europe and South America. She enjoyed music, art, nature, and reading, especially poetry; she was deeply religious. She played an active role in raising her grandchildren. She was devoted to friends and family. Daughter of the late Jozef and Marianna Marzec, she is sur v ived by a daughter, Marie Pepper of Cambridge, England; a son Jovi Tenev and daughter-in-law Nancy Hingston of Princeton Junction, New Jersey; a granddaughter Tara Pepper Goldsmith and her husband Charles Goldsmith of Cambridge, England; a grandson Sean Pepper of New York; a grandson Liam Pepper and his wife Bic Hoang Leu of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; a grandson Nicholas Tenev of Madison, Wisconsin; grandchildren Christopher and Helena Tenev of Princeton Junction; great grandsons Charles, Thomas, and Jonathan Goldsmith of Cambridge, England; and sisters Janina Wachsberger Witkowski of Washington, D.C. and Danuta Wernik of Oceanside, California.

AFTER THE MOVE: EXPLORING THE NEIGHBORHOOD Getting to know your new neighborhood is an important part of settling in and feeling at home. Here are five ideas to get your started: - Take a hike: Unless your neighborhood is crisscrossed by busy highways or in a not-so-safe area, walking around is the best way to get to know what's nearby. Ideally, look at a map on Google beforehand, and don't try to cover the whole area in a day. - Read all about it: Community newspapers are always filled with local events. Visit the local library or news agency to pick up a copy. Freebie magazines are other good sources of local information. - Get on board: While you're at the library, look for a local bulletin board for flyers and ads for local events. Get a library card while you're at it, and ask about groups that meet at the library. - So appy together: Ever hear the saying, "there's an app for that"? Check online for interactive maps or use an app like Foursquare to find out what's going on in your neighborhood. - Get physical: Visit a local park or recreation center or attend a school sports event to gain a real sense of community.
