In the upcoming primary election on June 7, four Democrats are running for two open seats on Princeton Council. Mayor Liz Lempert, also a Democrat, is running for re-election in the primary, challenged

by Republican Peter Marks.

Jenny Crumiller

The one incumbent who is hoping to be re-elected for another term on Council, Ms. Crumiller previously served on Princeton Borough Council prior to consolidation in 2013. She has spoken often of her concerns about maintaining the town’s character and making it more affordable. The epidemic of “teardowns” in several areas of Princeton is another focus of her attention, and she has suggested addressing the problem through stronger zoning regulations.

Ms. Crumiller hears from many constituents about slowing down traffic. She is in favor of the town reaping some sort of financial benefit from Communiversity, possibly through an admission charge for having vendors pay to participate. Regarding the Valley Road School building, which is in disrepair, she has said it should be sold or used for a creative purpose, perhaps in a partnership with developers who do adaptive reuse of old buildings.

Eisgruber Urges Graduates: Renew Civic Culture

Princeton University held its 269th commencement ceremony on the green in front of historic Nassau Hall yesterday morning, with a total of 1291 seniors receiving undergraduate degrees, five students from former classes, and 906 graduate students awarded advanced degrees.

The University also awarded honorary degrees to six individuals for their contributions to the humanities, economics, journalism, medicine, law, history, and public service: Ben Bernanke, former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve; Eric Foner, writer and historian; Shuli Hu, editor-in-chief of Caixin Media; Robert Rivers Jr., retired vascular surgeon and former Princeton trustee; Bryan Stevenson, lawyer and activist; and Froma Zeitlin, Ewing Professor of Greek, Emeritus, at Princeton.

President Christopher L. Eisgruber, 20th president of Princeton, presided over the event and addressed the graduates, with about 10,000 students and guests in attendance at the ceremony. The full text of his talk follows: In a few minutes, all of you will march through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do, it is my privilege to say a few words to

you about the path that lies ahead.

Your journey from this historic front campus will begin with trumpets, cheering, and happy celebration. It is tempting to send you off with a wish that such high spirits will mark all of your future endeavors, but doing so would ignore the challenges that are evident all around us and, frankly, it would sell you short. The world you enter is, in too many places, troubled and turbulent, fraught with disturbing amounts of anger, resentment, and violence. The world that awaits you will sometimes be frustrating and difficult, but it is a world that needs your talents, your citizenship, and your engagement.

Here in the United States, we find ourselves in the midst of a shockingly coarse presidential election campaign occurring at a time when politics has become strikingly polarized. Americans increasingly live in what might be called ideological silos.

For example, according to the Pew Charitable Trusts, in 1994—right around the time that most of you were born— “23 percent of Republicans were more liberal than the median Democrat [and] 17 percent of Democrats were more conservative than the median Republican.”

Today, by contrast, the overlap of the parties has dwindled to almost nothing.

Only 4 percent of Republicans are more liberal than the median Democrat, and only 5 percent of Democrats are more conservative than the median Republican.

Pew also reports that political partisans increasingly dislike one another and prefer to live only among people who share their political views.

Two additional findings may be especially dismaying to those of us at colleges and universities. The first is that polarization increases with political engagement.

The second is that among politically engaged people, polarization increases with education.

At Princeton, we want you to become engaged, and we obviously want you to be educated. The research I have just mentioned implies that, if we have succeeded, then, all other things being equal, you leave our campus today more polarized and more at odds with one another than when you arrived. According to this logic, we should count ourselves fortunate if, after all this engagement and all this education, you are still willing to sit together long enough to walk out the Gate in the same procession!

A former president and vice president of the Princeton Board of Education and a current member of the town’s Planning Board, Mr. Quinn is the marketing and communications director of Princeton Public Library. His top issues include keeping Princeton diverse by expanding affordable housing in a variety of price ranges, protecting neighborhood character, ensuring that disadvantaged and under-represented citizens are connected with quality municipal services, and investigating sustainable solutions to save money, the environment, and reflect the community’s values.

Like Ms. Crumiller, Mr. Quinn is concerned about the effect of homes being torn down in different areas of town. What is built in place of houses that are demolished is often out of character and too big for its surrounding neighborhood, he has said.

Princeton can share services with other agencies such as the school district, he suggests. Due to his tenure on the school board, Mr. Quinn feels uniquely qualified to provide insight on these matters.

The message is simple and familiar: “Don’t drink and drive. Don’t text and drive.

Don’t get high and drive,” stated Princeton High School (PHS) senior Katie Vasquez, co-president of SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and member of the student board at Corner House.

Last Thursday at 9:30

a.m., Princeton Police, Fire Department, Rescue Squad, and Mather Hodge Funeral Home teamed up with Corner House, SADD and the school tech and grounds departments to deliver that message powerfully and dramatically to more than 800 PHS juniors and seniors and a visiting contingent of about 30 Stuart Country Day School seniors.

Seated on bleachers on the side of Walnut Lane outside the High School, the students watched a simulation of the grisly aftermath of a car collision, as police and medical teams — and eventually a hearse, responded to the event and dealt with the victims.

The goal, according to Corner House Board Chair Wendy Jolley, is “to keep kids safe and to show them that life can change in a second. I’ve had kids I’d never met approach me after the presentation to say: ‘Mrs. Jolley, I promise I’ll never drink and drive.’” The simulation event has been staged once every two years for all PHS juniors and seniors.

“We are making this presentation as real as we can,” rescue squad narrator Greg Paulson told the assembled students. “We are showing you this in the hope that you never have an experience like this.”

Standing in front of two wrecked vehicles containing the student actors playing the roles of the victims, Ms. Vasquez added, “This event takes place 1.3 million times a year as a result of drunk driving, also texting, driving high, stopping paying attention. You could kill somebody. My work with SADD and Corner House has taught me that I am responsible for my decisions.”

Tarps were lifted from the cars and the scene of the wreck was fully revealed: a you ng woman t hrow n t h rou g h t h e w i n d s h i el d onto the hood of the compact car, blood on the car and the street, beer bottle on the ground, multiple occupants inside both vehicles, and the sound of the radio dispatcher’s voice: “Where is your emergency?”

A police officer arrived and opened a car door.

“Are you OK? ” Sirens, an ambulance, then more po-

lice, paramedics. The huge EMS Technical Rescue Van arrived. More than a dozen workers were on the scene as the body of the bleeding girl, pronounced dead on arrival, was moved away from the vehicles. The walking wounded were receiving attention, including oxygen, from EMT workers.

The emergency workers broke the windshields of the cars and used the hydraulic jaws of life to cut through metal roof supports and remove the passengers trapped inside the mini-van and take them to the ambulance.

The hearse arrived and the dead body was covered and carried to the vehicle.

Her obituary was read.

Don’t Drink and Drive Continued from Preceding Page

THE OYSTER PERPETUAL The incarnation of the original Oyster launched in 1926 is a distinctive symbol of universal style.

It doesn’t just tell time. It tells history.

A police officer then gave a sobriety test to the 17-yearold driver of the compact car. He had obviously been drinking illegally and was arrested.

After the hour-long pres e n t at i o n , t h e s u b d u e d crowd, silent and attentive throughout, returned to the high school for a de-briefing and question-and-answer session. They obviously had received the intended message about the consequences of irresponsible choices. “It was extremely emotional,” said senior Matthew Ames.

“That had an effect on everybody. Seems like this does happen. It makes me want to be more responsible and take more responsibility for others.”

Junior Rachna A mmanamanchi added, “This was very useful — good that the school did this. It shows us what could happen if we put ourselves in this situation. It’s good to know the after effects, to see what the consequences are. We’ll be more careful and responsible with our actions.”

“Has the University changed much since your student days?”

“I don’t even recognize it. We were in Whitman Dormitory yesterday — it’s a first class hotel. And I don’t want to use the word that truly describes the living situation that we were in, but my first room was 327 Witherspoon and it was overrun by cockroaches!”

oyster and perpetual are ® trademarks.

On May 21, at 8:20 p.m., a 28 -year-old male from Princeton was charged with simple assault and unlawful possession of a weapon after police were dispatched to the 100 block of Witherspoon Street to investigate a fight. The suspect had assaulted a 28-year-old male Princeton resident with a belt.

On May 24, at 11:36 a.m., police responded to a Stuart Road East residence to investigate a suspicious incident. A male claiming to be an employee of NJ American Water showed a letter to the resident and stated he was there to take water samples.

He was allowed access into the home and stated he needed to read the water meter. T he suspect was directed to the meter and never collected any water samples. The homeowner later contacted the water company and was advised it was not one of their employees. The investigation is ongoing.

On May 25, at 6:15 p.m., it was reported that sometime between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. someone stole an unlocked bike valued at $450 from the porch of a residence on the first block of Quarry Street.

On May 25, at 5:36 p.m., someone tried to make a fraudulent online purchase in the amount of $329 using a credit card of a Marion Road East resident.

On May 25, at 2:42 a.m., a 42-year-old female from Philadelphia was charged with DWI, subsequent to a stop on Palmer Square East.

Unless otherwise noted, individuals arrested were later released.

“A lot of new buildings, but I’m actually more impressed with how it hasn’t changed.”

—Felix Goodson, Class of 1991, Kennett Square, Pa.

“The biggest change for me, since I used to take the Dinky back and forth is the new Dinky Station. Another one that I noticed, they have electronic locks on the doors, which is a nice modern safety feature.”

—Margaret White, Class of 2011, New York, N.Y.

Kelly: “First I noticed the progress of the new Arts Center. I think that’s going to be exciting because the original dance studios were in 185 Nassau and now they’ll be further down campus, so it’s going to help make sure that a lot more students will have access to these resources.”

Omoshalewa: “First thing I noticed was the Wawa and the whole new Dinky station, which was amazing. I really like it and I like that the bike racks have been extended. I‘ve always thought of Princeton as such a walkable place, but now even more people can bike and that’s terrific. And the new Neurosciences building is great. I love all the new science buildings we have. They make our old Chem labs look so ancient.”

—(from left) Kelly Rouser, Class of 2011, Chicago, and Omoshalewa Bamkole, Class of 2011, Teaneck, N.J.

“I think Princeton has changed a lot since I graduated, and it’s a lot more diverse. So, both racially, but also in terms of the make-up of the student body, in terms of gender normality and LGBT community, it’s a much more welcoming environment than I’ve seen over the years.“ —Gary Pai, Class of 1991, recipient of 2016 Award for Service to Princeton University

Council Approves continued from page one

Anne Neumann A native of Princeton, Ms. Neumann remembers when it was a less dense and less expensive place to live. If elected, she has said she would work to recapture some of those values of earlier days.

High taxes and the soaring

costs of housing are among the most pressing concerns she has raised. She is a frequent critic of many policies held by Princeton University, and has advocated that the school pay more taxes.

Ms. Neumann has served on the Site Plan Review Advisory Board and the town’s Environmental Commission.

Princeton’s zoning laws need

to be strengthened to allow for more diversity and affordability in housing options, she has said. Ms. Neumann believes the Valley Road School building could be renovated and used by the town’s nonprofit groups. She has also recommended that Princeton create a special improvement district, which would include downtown businesses

as well as the University.

Leticia Fraga Campaigning around town, Leticia Fraga hears repeatedly from people that they feel they aren’t being heard.

A native of Mexico who came to the United States when she was 12 and a Princeton resident for the past 17 years, she advocates for more affordability for those who are being forced out by higher taxes and other costs. Princeton needs to look at housing options not exclusively aimed at the wealthy, she has said.

Diversity is also a priority.

Ms. Fraga is a relative newcomer to politics, but she is vice-chair of Princeton’s Human Services Commission and chairs the town’s subcommittee on civil rights.

The Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund, Princeton Community Housing, and the Princeton YWCA are other agencies to which she has given her time. She is less critical of the University than some of her fellow candidates, but agrees that the school should contribute more to the municipal budget.

If elected, Ms. Fraga would be the first Latino to serve on the governing body.

Mayoral Candidates: Liz Lempert After three years in office, Ms. Lempert announced her decision last March to run for another term. A member of Princeton Township Committee and its deputy mayor prior to consolidation, she was a strong advocate for merging the two Princetons and admits more work needs to be done before the promises of

consolidation are fulfilled.

During her tenure, she has advocated against gun violence, expressed support of mandatory paid sick leave for employees, and traveled to the White House for a discussion of national issues. Princeton has secured a AAA bond rating, been named a “Bike Friendly Community” by the League of American Bicyclists and designated “Age Friendly Community” by the World Health Organization during her tenure. There is better communication with residents since she has taken office, she has said, and she hopes to continue focusing on affordability and sustainability, among other issues.

Peter Marks Local businessman Peter Marks says he is running for mayor because he was asked to run. A native and longtime resident of Princeton,

he has concerns about zoning, specifically as it affects the changing nature of the downtown. He has raised the issue of the way pensions are handled, suggesting that a refined benefit plan be replaced with a refined contribution plan. Escalating property taxes and the too-rapid pace of development are also among his priorities.

Consolidation has not produced the results many expected, primarily because services have been cut back, Mr. Marks has said. Princeton should maintain its size, and remain a town instead of turning into a city. The town’s master plan and zoning have been altered in recent years to accommodate the University, favored restaurants, and other groups, he has said, and this needs to change.

education

Jeff Lucker, Pr inceton High School history teacher for the past 47 years, didn’t expect to spend a large portion of his life in the classroom. “In trying to decide whether to become a cellist or a doctor,” he recalled, “I decided to become a history teacher.”

Several thousand of his for mer and cur rent students, many of whom have de s cr ib e d h i m on r ate m y te a c h e r.c o m i n s u c h terms as “incredible,” “awesomeness personified,” “the best of the best,” “funny, intelligent,” “so smart,” “flipping hilarious,” and “a great teacher,” are glad that Mr. Lucker’s career trajectory shifted early on.

Teaching was not on his radar when he was a history major at University of Wisconsin in the 1960s, but he decided to get his teaching certification, and “The day I stood in front of my first class as a student teacher was the day I knew I wanted to become a teacher.” He remains interested in medicine and music, still playing cello regularly with the PHS orchestra, but clearly he had found his calling in education.

“Then I really knew I wanted to teach. I knew that that was my destiny.”

The experience of discovering his love of history teaching has helped to shape his approach to working with his students at PHS. “Not only did I find my calling, but I wonder whether many of my students have callings that they may never find.

That’s why it’s important to expose young people to all kinds of different things, because there may be many people that have something that — little do they know — they have an aptitude for or an inclination for until they actually stand in front of a class or cut a piece of wood or whatever it is.”

Brooklyn to Princeton Mr. Lucker, who grew up in Brooklyn before heading off to college at age 16, ended up at Princeton High “by total accident.” He worked through Wisconsin’s teacher placement office, which provided access mostly to Wisconsin schools, “and then this one opening—in Princeton, New Jersey,” and, in January 1969, “I slipped in here and I loved it.”

Unlike many local Princeton teachers, who for economic reasons or for reasons of privacy choose to live outside of town, Mr. Lucker has happily lived in Princeton for the entire time he’s taught here. “I enjoy living in town and running into kids and parents and being able to avail myself of everything the town offers,” he said.

He lives with his wife, Ruth Mandel, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers. They met about 32 years ago, introduced by her daughter Maud, who was one of Mr. Lucker’s students at the time and has since become Dean of Brown University.

Mr. Lucker has communicated his enthusiasm for learning — and his love of the culturally rich Princeton environment — to his stu-

dents both directly and indirectly. “The experience in my Latin America course of talking about Latin American literature, then being able to tell my students to go over to the University and hear Nobel Prize-winning author Mario Vargas Llosa give a talk — that’s the kind of thing we have in this town.

It’s phenomenal. So many enriching experiences, and most of the lectures are free and open to the public.”

Over the past 10-15 years, Mr. Lucker, who teaches about 130 students in five different classes each day, has taught Advanced Placement World Histor y and a senior elective in Latin America (first semester) and The Middle East (second semester).

Facing the challenge of bringing the material to life and engaging the juniors and seniors in his classes, Mr. Lucker tells parents on back-to -school night, “If money were no object, I’d just charter a plane and fly down to Mexico City, to Quito, to Rio, and do home stays and visits, but in the absence of that, what I try to do is bring that into the classroom. One of the things I use is my own travels. Travel is my passion, and I bring pictures and slides into the classroom. The kids really seem to enjoy that. I’ve been to over 30 countries: Mexico, Belize, Cuba (legally, on a 2000 fact-finding trip), Brazil, Argentina twice, Israel twice, Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, and Australia last summer.

Rewards and Challenges “The interactions w ith the kids every day are the best part of the job,” Mr. Lucker affirmed. “The kids are great. It’s always nice to hear from kids I’ve taught over the years when they come back and thank me or tell me what they got out of my class. I don’t care if they’re a bartender or on Broadway, and I’ve taught both, whatever my students are doing, if they enjoy what they’re doing and they’re doing it well, it doesn’t matter, as long as they’re happy.”

And the two hardest parts of the job, he contends, include the massive grading job of hundreds of student essays, and also “dealing with mandates and nonsense in terms of satisfying state requirements.” He expressed mixed feelings on the controversial subject of standardized testing.

Testing Industrial Complex “I’m not unalterably opposed to standardized testing,” he said, “but I think it’s really gotten out of hand.

One of my concerns is that there has grown up in this country what I call the testing industrial complex. Pearson [company producing the PARCC Test] is the best example — multi-billion dollar, multi-national company that makes you wonder about the tail wagging the dog.”

Expressing concern about the money and time involved in testing, he continued, “Every time there’s a mandate from the state, it generates kits, workbooks, and these companies start putting these things out and schools around the country

Jeff Lucker Looks Back on 47 Years Teaching History at PHS

have these things in boxes stored away—never used years later. That’s one of my concerns and the extent to which this industry has been generating the testing. The effect of so much of this stuff is to standardize everything, almost the opposite of what was intended.”

Mr. Lucker expressed some of his most strongly conflicted feelings in describing his work with the AP World History course, which, for most of his students, leads to the AP exam in May. The District is currently considering alternatives to some of the AP courses, and Mr. Lucker is eager to move in that direction. “There are a number of us who are seriously thinking of opting out of the AP system and offering rigorous courses in their place.

Students would have the option of taking the AP exams on their own.” Mr. Lucker reports that other schools that have taken that route have gotten the support of almost all major colleges and universities.

Though he praised much of the content of the AP World History curriculum, he criticized the restrictions of the timeline, its emphasis on movements and trends rather than people in history, and its lack of emphasis on culture and art.

He referred to the AP curriculum as “World History Without the People and the Cultures.”

“What grabs kids are the people, their quirks, their life stories,” he said. “When I read history, I like reading biography. We don’t have much time to do that. I get it in anyway, but we’re fighting against time.”

Mr. Lucker reflected on his own experience as a student and the importance of generating students’ interest in the subject matter and desire to learn more, rather than giving in to the “obsession” with testing. “I suspect many of my students are like myself when I was in high school and college,” he said, “I mastered the ability to memorize a lot of material, did well on many tests and may have been perceived by my teachers and professors as an example of their success. But my ability to ‘test well’ was not necessarily reflective of my interest in the material or my desire to learn more.”

He added a thought from his cur rent perspective, “One of the most rewarding things in teaching is to hear from a student that you have sparked their interest in the subject—not that they want to pursue it as a career, but that it made a positive difference in their lives.”

“Better than Ever” After almost half a century, Mr. Lucker wondered if he perhaps lacked some perspective on Princeton High School and the world of education, “Change evolves over time,” he said, “so it’s hard to see,” but he mentioned several observations.

“The students I’m teaching now,” he stated, “are the nicest kids I’ve ever taught.

They’re not only nice people, they’re nice and kind to each other. Every day I have kids Continued on Next Page

ANNE NEUMANN

FOR COUNCIL BECAUSE: When deciding to vote for a candidate, I assess their demonstrated values and the positions they have actively taken over time on issues that concern me, my neighborhood, my town, my country. I am not impressed by fresh faces that ascend simply to present change or a symbolic gesture. I go on what is a known quantity based on a candidate’s engagement, knowledge, substance, and consistency. I will be going to the polls on June 7 to vote for Anne Neumann as the best Princeton Council candidate in the best interest of our community. Yina Moore, Green Street

I have known Anne Neumann for many years and have always admired how knowledgeable she is on so many community issues in Princeton. She will be a superb asset as a member of Princeton Council since she has already served in many capacities relating to zoning, housing, and the environment. I plan to vote for her, and I am sure many others will do the same. John Borden, Madison Street Whenever I have heard Anne speak in public forums she had always stood up and solidly represented social justice issues while advocating for the whole of Princeton.

She supports paid sick leave for full/part time workers, and a hire-local program.

Anne can be trusted to keep her word and has the unique ability to think outside the box when solving problems. She is an active listener, perhaps the most important characteristic of effective leadership. Leighton Newlin, Birch Avenue I’m always aware of Anne’s ability to grasp the essence of a question and summarize opposing notions before offering her conclusions. And she has such a pleasant voice that even bad news is tolerable. Marianne Grey, Murray Place I have great respect for her generosity, her fierce intelligence, her indefatigable determination to attain success in progressive causes that are dear to her heart. Anne does her homework. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of all sorts of topics related to this town’s important issues. Like all of us, she welcomes changes that benefit the town and its people. Sandra Jordan Bierman, Grover Avenue I worked with Anne Neumann on the Princeton Environmental Commission. In my 50 years in Princeton, I have run across very few leaders. Anne Neumann is a leader. She is on top of every issue, and her ideas are constructive. Anne is a GOOD LISTENER—something very rare these days—and very approachable.

Pam Machold, Prospect Avenue If Anne Neumann had asked me five years ago to support her for anything, I would have responded with a resounding, “no way.” But, after working with Anne on several municipal committees and getting to know her, my opinion has changed....

I began to realize Anne knew her stuff and that she was truly passionate about her beliefs. . . . We worked together on the Site Plan Review Advisory Board, the PCDO Executive Committee, the Affordable Housing Committee, and other organizations.

Sometimes we disagreed. But, no matter what the issues were, Anne always stood her ground and remained committed to her cause. She never holds a grudge. Now I can say Anne is one of the smartest, most passionate and most committed people I know. I am happy to give her my vote. I hope you will too.

Alyce Bush, Loomis Court Anne Neumann possesses a pragmatic insight into Princeton’s problems and needs, and a willingness to examine the issues to find solutions. Her experience of civic involvement has afforded her insight into the workings of municipal government, and, as a long-time resident, she has a unique perspective on our character and sense of place. Kate Warren, Jefferson Road As a former member of an advisory board, Anne Neumann always provided competence, thoughtfulness and eagerness to participate in the deliberations. As a member of Princeton Council, she undoubtedly would provide the same intelligent research and insight to recommend what action would benefit our Community.

Harry Cooke, Sycamore Road When Anne was on the Environmental Commission she stood out as the only member of any Town Board or Commission who made the effort to understand the particular geologic issues that needed to be addressed by planning boards and zoning boards for building on the Ridge. I thought her recent Town Topics letter on zoning to slow McMansions was magnificent.

Lincoln Hollister, Ridgeview Road Anne has asked hard questions and taken positions that are in the best interest of citizens even when she met resistance from the most powerful institutions in town.

Remember we are voting . . . to replace Patrick Simon who single handedly has asked the tough questions that have resulted in better policies and saved tax dollars.

Of the three nonincumbent candidates, only Anne Neumann comes close to filling the big shoes of Patrick Simon. Her strength to take stands on tough issues is based on knowledge, analysis, and practicality. Joseph Small, Hawthorne Avenue

Books Amy Herman Talks About Visual Intelligence

“AWESOMENESS PERSONIFIED”: Jeff Lucker, after teaching history for 47 years at PHS, still looks forward with enthusiasm to every day in the classroom with students in his AP World History, Latin America studies and Middle East studies classes.

who when they walk out of the room, they thank me.”

And, as for his colleagues, “In all my years here, I think we have the best faculty we’ve ever had,” he stated. “We had fantastic teachers when I first came here, but the difference is the consistency. You have more outstanding teachers and more consistent quality than ever.”

And, himself a participating cellist, Mr. Lucker paid tribute to the PHS performing arts departments. “I did want to give a shout-out to the arts at PHS. It’s phenomenal. The band, the orchestra, the drama department — they are just fantastic. These kids are incredibly talented.”

In looking to the future of

education, Mr. Lucker described himself as “a cheerleader for public education,” but admitted that “I’m concerned about privatization, as in the testing industry, and the consequences that can have for education.” He pointed out that teachers in many European countries are accorded higher status and “are held in much higher esteem than they are in this country. Teachers are constantly mindful of being treated as professionals there and not as hired help.” Defining a professional as “someone you allow a certain amount of discretion based on their knowledge and experience,” he expressed his concern that standardized testing becomes a form of micromanaging, depriving teachers of the leeway and discretion they need to

be successful professionals.

After 47 years, one would think that retirement might be visible somewhere on the horizon, but not necessarily for Mr. Lucker. “Given my 47 years,” he laughed, “I think it would be unconscionable not to go for 50 — and then after that, I’ll think about it.”

But for now, he’d rather look forward to what he enjoys most. “I love teaching here at PHS. It’s an incredible student body, a great faculty, and a great community. That keeps me going and I think it keeps me young. I love the experience of having colleagues who are half my age and teaching the students I do. It’s a great experience and I don’t want to lose that.”

—Donald Gilpin

Amy Herman will give a talk, “Visual Intelligence: Sharpen Your Perception, Change your Life,” on Tuesday, June 7 at 6 p.m. at Labyrinth Books.

“How could looking at Monet’s water lily paintings help save your company millions? How can checking out people’s footwear foil a terrorist attack? How can your choice of adjective win an argument, calm your kid, or catch a thief?”

In her seminar, the Art of Perception, art historian Amy Herman has trained experts from many fields how to perceive and communicate better. By showing people how to look closely at images, she helps them hone their “visual intelligence.”

She has spent more than a decade teaching doctors to observe patients instead of their charts, helping police officers separate facts from opinions when investigating a crime, and training professionals from the FBI, the State Department, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to recognize the most pertinent and useful information.

Amy E. Herman designed, developed and conducts all sessions of the The Art of Perception. While working at The Frick Collection, she instituted the program for medical students to improve their observation skills. After expanding the medical program to seven medical

schools in New York, Ms. Herman adapted the program for law enforcement professionals across a wide range of agencies including the New York City Police Depar tment, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Secret Service. Before joining T hir teen / W N E T. ORG as director of educational development in 2007, Ms. Herman was the head of education at The Frick Collection for over ten years, where she oversaw all of the Collection’s educational collaborations and community initiatives.

Local Architectural Firm Wins Preservation Award

Mills + Schnoering Architects, LLC, a Princeton-based architectural firm, received the 2016 New Jersey Historic Preservation Award on May 12 honoring their work on the Clara Barton Apartment in Washington, D.C. The award was presented at a ceremony at Morristown National Historical Park to seven preservation projects from across New Jersey.

“These awards are our chance to honor the many individuals, organizations and corporations; and state, county, and local governments who have worked hard to preserve New Jersey’s historic places,” said Daniel Saunders, New Jersey Historic Preservation Office Administrator and Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer.

The Clara Barton Museum, which is owned by the federal General Services Administration (GSA), contracted with Mills + Schnoering Architects to prepare an Interior Historic Structure Report,

Pre-Treatment Report, and construction documents for the Clara Barton Apartment in this Civil War-era rooming house. It was here that Clara Barton set up base operations for her battlefield relief work, which later led to the founding of the American Red Cross. After the war, she and her staff continued their work in these rooms operating the “Missing Soldiers Office.”

The building was scheduled for demolition by a private developer in the late 1990s, when artifacts related to Clara Barton’s activities were discovered in the attic.

Following the discoveries, the building was designated one of America’s Treasures, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

This full restoration and rehabilitation of the apartment included installation of reproduction period lighting and recreation of Civil Warperiod wallpapers from fragments found in the space.

The Clara Barton Museum now provides an authentic view into a mid-19th-century boarding house, as well as the life of Clara Barton, a pioneer in the field of relief work in war and disaster zones.

The annual awards honor projects, and groups or persons, dedicated to preserving New Jersey’s history. This year marks the 26th anniversary of the awards celebrating May as National Preservation Month. The awards are presented by the New Jersey State Historic Preservation Office in the Department of Environmental Protection, and the New Jersey Historic Sites Council.

“The Longer You Last”: Pictures of Marilyn Monroe on Her 90th Birthday I grew up with a picture of her in my bedroom hanging over my bed … watching over me … not as the icon, not as a sex symbol, but as an ordinary girl, her arms outstretched, her head back, the sun’s out, she’s laughing, barefoot in the grass, at Roxbury, where she lived with Arthur Miller.

—Michelle Williams, from an interview about My Week With Marilyn ictures of Marilyn are all over Times Square, for sale to tourists who want to take home a souvenir from the sidewalk caricaturists lining 7th Avenue, plying their trade, deftly capturing the essence of someone’s husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend, or child. At a Port Authority newsstand she stares out at you from the cover of the current Vanity Fair. That red-lipped Hollywood icon is at least truer to life than the garishly painted laughing face on the 50-foot-high femme fatale in Niagara towering in front of the Criterion Theater 63 years ago, head back, torso bent forward, hands splayed on her tightly skirted thighs, legs apart, people posing down below, Lilliputians to Marilyn’s Gulliver, their heads on a level with her ankles.

No Lies!

Marilyn Monroe would have been 90 today. Born June 1, 1926 in the charity ward of Los Angeles County General Hospital, she died of a barbiturate overdose at her Brentwood home on August 5, 1962, two months after turning 36 and five years after the miscarriage suffered by the laughing barefoot “ordinary girl” in the picture hanging over Michelle Williams’s bed. The photograph on the cover of Lois Banner’s biography, Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox (Bloomsbury 2012), was taken by Monroe’s friend Sam Shaw earlier in the summer of 1957, possibly in early June, around the time of her 31st birthday when she found out she was pregnant. Her expression is wary, guarded, you could caption it with Andrew Marvell’s line, “And at my back I always hear time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near.” By then she’d already suffered one miscarriage, the first of three with Miller.

In My Story, the unfinished autobiography Marilyn dictated to Ben Hecht in 1954, she dreams of having a child she’ll bring up “without lies. Nobody will tell her lies about anything. And I’ll answer all her questions. If I don’t know the answers I’ll go to an encylopedia and look them up.

I’ll tell her whatever she wants to know — about love, about sex, about everything!

But chiefly, no lies! No lies about there being a Santa Claus or about the world being full of noble and honorable people all eager to help each other and do good to each other. I’ll tell her there are honor and goodness in the world, the same as there are diamonds and radium.”

While Hecht no doubt helped shape that heartfelt declaration with its reflection of Marilyn’s experience in a world where lies prevail and goodness is as rare as diamonds, you don’t have to read far

P

in the poems, intimate notes, and letters compiled by Stanley Buchthal and Bernard Comment in Fragments (Farrar, Straus & Grioux 2010) to recognize the same earnest, savvy, self-aware voice. The most characteristic photographs in Fragments show a beautiful woman comfortably being herself, which is most often the case when she’s either absorbed in a book or writing one of those “intimate notes” in her journal. Of course there’s no such thing as a private moment for one of the most photographed women in the world, and here she is again in a new show based on those notes (Marilyn in Fragments) at the Laurie Beechman Theater, which prompted this comment from Stephen Holden in his May 26 New York Times review: “If you imagined that at this late date there’s nothing left to say about Marilyn Monroe, you may want to think again.”

The Girl Who Loved Marilyn In My Life, Monroe admits, “I have always had a talent for irritating women since I w a s 14.

Sometimes I ’v e b e e n to a par t y where no o n e s p o ke to me for a whole eve ning. T he men, frightened by their wives or sweeti e s, wo u l d g i ve m e a wide berth.

And the ladies would gang up in a corner to discuss my dangerous character.”

A similar dynamic was in play at my high school, where the girls loathed her and the boys treated her as a glorified dirty joke. Such was the situation my junior year when I met a girl who loved Marilyn Monroe. As you might expect, she had short peroxide blond hair and a fondness for eye-shadow, lipstick, fingernail polish, and high heels. She would show up at the counter of the drug store soda fountain where I had a summer job and we’d talk about her favorite subject. I made an immediate hit because I’d just seen and liked The River of No Return (1954), in which Marilyn is a saloon singer who ends up spending most of the film in a man’s shirt and blue jeans, her hair tied back, gamely helping Robert Mitchum and his

young son steer a raft through deadly rapids while fighting off hoards of howling Indians.

Some months later the girl from the soda fountain called me up and invited me to go roller skating in a nearby town to which her parents would drive us. I was surprised, having assumed I’d never see her again since she went to the other, bigger high school. At the skating rink, a southern Indiana fantasia of whirling lights, industrial-level noise, and rock ‘n’ roll, I was like Jerry Lewis on skates. She didn’t care. She was glad to have me to sit on the sidelines admiring her as she commanded the scene: she flew, she sailed, she soared, outclassing everyone, a smiling star in the flourescent orange skirt and jersey and socks she’d changed into; this was her own luminous cinema where she could release all the loving energy she felt for her idol. Boys swarmed around her, caught and lost her, none skilled enough to keep up, for she wanted partners only long e n o u g h to show how beautifully she could spin free of them, each one left like a fallen slave in her gaudy wake.

Every time she came to where I was sitting, proudly, shyly grinning in her glory, not a drop of sweat on h e r pr e t t y face, I didn’t have to say a word: she took it for granted that only someone who appreciated Marilyn could f ully g rasp how much what she was doing meant to her, and in the back seat of the car on the way home, I was rewarded with passionate kisses while her parents conversed as if nothing unusual was happening. There was one more such evening, once again initiated by a phone call from her, and that was it until the moment a year later when I ran into her and her husband, a bellhop at the hotel where she waited tables in the coffee shop.

The Longer You Last While watching The River of No Return again the other day, I paused the DVD at one point, unable to make out what

Marilyn’s character was saying when she fainted from the torrents of water crashing down on her as the raft was swept over the rapids. It was the only moment in the film where she was not clearly enunciating every word, a distracting, sometimes even tiresome habit — the fault, it’s said, of her acting coach, whose presence created serious friction with the director, Otto Preminger, who took it out on Marilyn.

Spoken, slurred, the words were, as far as I could make out, “The longer you last, the less you care” — a line that resonates if you know her story. According to Banner’s biography, Marilyn’s lifelong tendency to stutter began when she was sexually abused at the age of eight. “Speech therapists today,” Banner adds, “suggest that Marilyn’s soft voice and her facial mannerisms may have been strategies to disguise the stuttering.”

In the scene that follows Marilyn’s collapse on the raft, Mitchum tends to the drenched, shivering woman, wrings out her clothes, and rubs the chill from her legs and feet. The fact that she’s naked under the blanket while this is going on is only mildly titillating. The point is she’s shaken, ill, vulnerable, as she so often was in “real-life”; it’s the one scene in the film where you feel the true presence of the woman who spent her time off the set communing with a raccoon called Bandit or, according to Banner’s biography by way of Mitchum, “in her dressing room immobilized by menstrual cramps, suffering, and embarrassed.”

“The most honest picture ever taken of Marilyn Monroe,” in the words of a recent article on www.telegraph.co.uk, the work of Richard Avedon, was sold last month at Sotheby’s for £77,500. Avedon once recalled how the photograph came about: “For hours she danced and sang and flirted and did this thing — she did Marilyn Monroe. And then there was the inevitable drop. And when the night was over and the white wine was over and the dancing was over, she sat in the corner like a child, with everything gone. I saw her sitting quietly without expression on her face, and I walked towards her but I wouldn’t photograph her without her knowledge of it. And as I came with the camera, I saw that she was not saying no.” ou can see this woman, the one who watched over Michelle Williams and who imagined telling her child “no lies,” on the cover of Lois Banner’s Marilyn.

——— Probably the best source of information on 90th birthday events is marilyn monroe.com. The Michelle Williams comments are from a ScreenSlam interview.

Marilyn in Fragments will be performed again on June 6 and June 14 at the Laurie Beechman Theater, 407 West 42nd Street, Manhattan; (212) 695-6909, westbankcafe.com. As usual, the Princeton Public Library was an invaluable resource.

As Vice Chair of Princeton’s municipal Human Services Commission, Leticia has spearheaded the movement to revive an independent Civil Rights Commission. Created in the late 1960s to mediate allegations of discrimination in housing, employment, education, and access to services, that Commission lost its independent stature in the 1990s. Leticia understands that an independent Civil Rights Commission fosters community trust and saves taxpayers money by avoiding costly lawsuits.

Our country stands at a crossroads. Bigotry is on the march. We have the opportunity to make history. In a town that talks a lot about diversity, Leticia will be the first person of Latino/a heritage on Princeton Council.

Leticia understands that our town thrives on opportunity, affordability, transparency and inclusion. We support her because we admire her talents, appreciate her values, and trust her instincts. At the end of the day, what else is there?

We hope you will join us in electing Fraga for Council on Tuesday, June 7th.

Tim Quinn Kept Our Library Open and Running As Shelter For Days After Superstorm Sandy

To the Editor: I write in support of Tim Quinn for Princeton Council. I first met Tim when I served as chair of the Friends of the Princeton Public Library. In addition to his considerable skills as a communicator, it became obvious that he is a natural leader as well. We collaborated on many fundraising projects for the Friends. His suggestions and solutions to questions were always thoughtful and in the best interests of everyone involved.

Tim’s leadership was apparent when he led the successful and difficult effort to keep the library open after Superstorm Sandy. With the library director out of state, Tim spear-headed this huge task and kept our library open and running. For days after the storm, he was there around the clock making sure we had a warm safe place to shelter and stay connected to the outside world. He won a national award for that work. It came as no surprise to me. I had seen his leadership skills for years.

He will make a splendid member of Princeton Council.

A Street “Like No Other in Princeton” Faces Nearly 50 Percent Tax Increase

To the Editor: The Town of Princeton is proposing that the property tax be increased by nearly 50 percent for the next 20 years for all properties on “historic” Bank Street in downtown Princeton in addition to the recent tax increase. After nearly 40 years of meetings, discussions and false starts, the Town is planning to replace the rotting infrastructure, improve the street surface and streetscape in this unique historic district after letting it literally fall apart for the past 40 years. The historic commission has been powerless to do anything except make people jump through hoops if they want to improve their property while the public domain falls apart. The real issue is the overhead electric, cable and telephone lines by PSEg, Verizon, Comcast and Suneyes, which continue to hang even more lines without removing the unused ones or needing approval to hang new ones. To place these lines underground will cost, the companies say, $1,940,000, or $ 6,000 to $8,000 per linear foot plus a $5,000 hook up fee for each structure.

The 28 structures along the street must cover the entire cost, so says the NJ Board of Public Utilities. The alternative is to leave the poles and the gaggle of wires with the radiation from EMF’s literally feet in front of people’s bedroom windows and forever devalue the street.

There is no other street like it in Princeton and it could be a real architectural and historic gem that could enhance the character and quality of downtown and increase revenues from taxes from potential improvements. If the owners of the majority of the properties along the street do not agree to this massive increase in property taxes to place the wires underground, the Town is proposing an unimaginative, vanilla improvements with concrete curbs and sidewalksno granite, no cobble stone, no historic lighting, no bollards, no traffic calming just a standard asphalt suburban streetscape with new sewer and water lines.

Is this what Bank Street deserves after paying high taxes with few services for over forty years, to be just another old narrow ghetto street with gaggles of overhead wiring while paying extraordinary amount of taxes for all these years with few, spotty municipal services and no resident parking. If it is to remain as this “ghetto” street, then perhaps the Township can accommodate at least one request- have it removed from an historic district and take the historic restrictions away. Perhaps that will be a way to pay for the undergrounding if a large developer purchased many properties and redeveloped it. We were told that the University paid the utility companies their price for undergrounding the Arts and Transit district, and conceded to the demands of the Board of Public Utilities mandate.

What is happening and has happened to Bank Street is shameful. Even in Princeton, every owner cannot write out a check for $75,000.00 or be taxed for greater value than the house will appraise.

Renew Civic Culture continued from page one

Yet, during your time on this campus, you have also had experiences that brought you together and counteracted the polarizing tendencies of our time. You have shared friend‑ ships, rivalries, highs and lows, cooperation, competition, and conflict, and these experiences have formed your identities not only as individuals but also as Princetonians. For most of you, your enduring connections to one another and to this Uni‑ versity will be one of the most important legacies of your time here.

Over the past few days, you joined thousands of undergradu‑ ate and graduate alumni who re‑ turned to campus to renew their relationships to one another and this University. Princeton’s alumni are a diverse group—di‑ verse in culture, religious belief, political perspective, gender and sexual orientation, nationality, and career path, to name only a few. Those differences make us stronger, but they can also sometimes be sources of pas‑ sionate disagreement or even alienation.

We need people who commit themselves to forging a public culture that enables shared, re‑ spectful, and engaged discourse through which we can negoti‑ ate differences and address the urgent issues confronting us.

Taking up that project will call upon all the resources that your liberal arts education has pro‑ vided you.

Confronting Polarization Renewing our civic culture requires many things, not least among them a certain human‑ istic imagination. I would like to share with you two exam‑ ples that I believe embody this kind of imagination. My friend Mickey Edwards, who taught for a time in the Woodrow Wilson School, was for many years a Republican congressman from Oklahoma. He had a reputation as an independent thinker and a maverick, the sort of profile that, unfortunately, scarcely exists anymore in the Congress where he once served.

Mickey Edwards became con‑ cerned about the polarization that has engulfed Washington and this country. And he de‑ cided to confront it. He created a program for up‑and‑coming state politicians that would en‑ courage them to form relation‑ ships across party lines.

Working with the Aspen Institute, Mickey designed a program that features a series of three‑day philosophical sem‑ inars in which the state politi‑ cians read excerpts from the likes of Plato, Confucius, James Madison, Virginia Woolf, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Aung San Suu Kyi. The seminars are in‑ tensive, running for about seven hours each day. In the evenings, Mickey brings the politicians to places like Preservation Hall in New Orleans, or to a mountain‑ side cabin near Aspen, where they chow down on comfort food and sing along to old John Denver songs.

What I like most about Mick‑ ey’s idea is its power to realize the critical elements of a resi‑ dential liberal arts education.

He manages to get politicians to step back from short‑term arguments about budgets and abortion and taxation, and to fo‑ cus instead on long‑term discus‑ sions about ideas and principles that have the potential to unify and define us as a people. At the same time, he enables these politicians to really know one another, not merely as ideologi‑ cal rivals, but as fellow human beings who share experiences beyond the political—human beings who dine together, talk

about their families, and take the risk of sounding silly when singing old John Denver tunes.

I don’t know if any of you have harmonized to “Sunshine on My Shoulders”—maybe your parents did—but I expect that your time at Princeton has included seminars where you debated profound ideas, and dinner table conversations with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, places, and, most importantly, perspectives. That is one of the reasons why I hope and believe that many of you have grown together rather than apart even as you became more educated and more engaged.

A Cultural Mirror My second example of hu‑ manistic imagination is a cul‑ tural miracle that occurs eight times each week at 226 West 46th Street in New York City, where Lin‑Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton is performed. The concept for the musical sounds at first like the premise for a Saturday Night Live parody: a hip‑hop musical about the first Secretary of the Treasury in which an almost entirely black and Latino cast portrays the American founders and rehears‑ es detailed eighteenth‑century policy debates. It is no ordinary musical!

Unlike most musicals, Hamilton is self‑consciously and un‑ abashedly political, and, unlike most things political, it appeals powerfully to both sides of the ideological spectrum. Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, a former speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, calls Hamilton “a masterpiece.” Michelle Obama ’85 calls it “the best piece of art in any form that I have ever seen in my life.”

Her husband, President Ba‑ rack Obama S85, has said that “Hamilton, I’m pretty sure, is the only thing that Dick Cheney and I agree on.”

Lin‑Manuel Miranda has thus done something that neither our politicians nor our current Su‑ preme Court seem capable of doing, namely, he has produced an intelligent and inspirational account of the American found‑ ing that transcends political lines. With dazzling insight and artistic courage, he has re‑en‑ visioned America’s history and thereby strengthened America’s present.

We have had our own strug‑ gles with history at Princeton.

We have spent a lot of time this year reckoning with Wood‑ row Wilson’s racism and, more broadly, with this University’s exclusionary past. Some people have told me that they regard these discussions as a distrac‑ tion. The most meaningful and important questions, these people say, are about the pres‑ ent and the future, not about the past.

But to decide collectively, in‑ deed, as a community, about our future, we need to understand one another. We need to be able to see other people’s points of view, and we must forge shared spaces for disagreement and de‑ liberation. And understanding one another requires, among other things, finding new ways to comprehend the history that has affected, and continues to affect, different groups and in‑ dividuals in different ways.

Lin‑Manuel Miranda has given us a brilliant example of how that can be done. You emerge from Hamilton seeing America’s founding and Ameri‑ ca’s identity differently, even if, like me, you have been studying those subjects for decades. You emerge with new ways, if you want them, of claiming Amer‑ ica’s past as your own.

As a constitutional scholar, my only serious quarrel with Hamilton is that it depicts James Madison, Class of 1771, as little more than a meek sidekick to Thomas Jefferson.

Perhaps Madison deserves his own musical—one that would provide new perspectives upon a complex man who was simul‑ taneously a slaveholder and also the principal draftsman of the American Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

I hope that one of you will write Madison’s musical. More broadly, I hope that all of you will seek to participate in acts of humanistic daring, imaginative invention, and creative construc‑ tion like those of Mickey Ed‑ wards and Lin‑Manuel Miranda.

As Professor of Politics Chris Achen observed to me in a re‑ cent exchange about these very issues, a country’s constitutional institutions depend on the con‑ stitutional culture that supports them. America’s constitutional Continued on Next Page

culture is in distress, and it will take leadership and engagement from all of us to repair it.

That may seem a tall order.

Few if any of us can match the wit or genius of Miranda’s Hamilton. Yet, as Mickey Edwards’s seminar series demonstrates, in the right time and the right

place, even a brief John Denver sing along can make a difference. I am confident that your Princeton education has provided you with the humane resources needed to design other imaginative responses to the challenges facing civil society today.

My colleagues and I here on stage look forward to cheering you on as you address these and

other challenges. We hope that all of you will return often to Old Nassau and update us on your progress. We are proud of you, we will miss you, and we eagerly anticipate seeing what you will achieve, because all of you are now, and forever shall be, part of Princeton’s Great Class of 2016!

Congratulations and best wishes!

In April, the Junior League of Greater Princeton (JLGP) honored three local high school seniors who received Voluntarism Scholarships.

T he J LG P awards three $1,000 scholarships annually to female high school seniors who have demonstrated a strong commitment to community service and voluntarism.

This year’s recipients, Emily Rehmet and Dana Weinstein of Doylestown, Pa., and Erin Dart of Chalfont, Pa., were chosen from an applicant pool of accomplished young women. “As a women’s volunteer organization, we are so proud to have the opportunity to recognize young women who demonstrate a commitment to serving their community.

T he L eag ue also con gratulated recipients of the organization’s Community Grants program, including Womanspace, Dress for Success Mercer County, Princeton Senior Resource Center, and Daytop Village at Crawford House. These four organizations received grants ranging from $625-$2,500.

Grants must be used to help support nonprofit organizations located in the Junior League’s service area. Representatives of each organization received their grants April 21.

According to Deborah Vogel Brown, chair of the Grants and Scholarships Program, “It was a pleasure seeing how much great work is being done by such dedicated individuals and organizations in our area.

The depth and breadth of applicants we received this year was staggering, making it difficult for our Committee to choose which organizations to provide funding to.

“PORTRAIT OF MY FATHER”: This painting by Henriette Wyeth will be on display at the Michener Museum come December 2017. Thanks to a large grant awarded from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michener will have a retrospective exhibition examining the work of the late husband-and-wife artists Henriette Wyeth and Peter Hurd.

The James A. Michener Art Museum has received a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to support the MAGICAL & REAL: Henriette Wyeth and Peter Hurd: A Retrospective exhibition with an accompanying catalogue. Co-organized with the Roswell Museum and Art Center in New Mexico, the exhibition will examine the work of husband-andwife artists Henriette Wyeth (1907-1997) and Peter Hurd (1904-1984). The exhibition will open at the Michener Art Museum in December 2017.

“This will be one of the most exciting exhibitions we have organized at the Michener Art Museum, and the catalogue will allow us to share with our audiences an even deeper story of these remarkably talented artists who, despite the well-known Wyeth name, remain largely unknown,” said Kirsten M. Jensen, Ph.D., the Michener Art Museum’s Gerry & Marguerite Lenfest Chief Curator. “We are very grateful to the NEA for the funding to make it possible.”

MAGICAL & REAL: Henriette Wyeth and Peter Hurd: A Retrospective will include approximately 80 paintings, and will be augmented by video and audio recordings that document the artists’ lives and careers. Co-curated by Jensen and Sara Woodbury, curator of collections and exhibitions at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, the exhibition will be accompanied by a richly illustrated scholarly catalogue, with essays by Jensen and Woodbury, and additional essays by Leo G. Mazow (University of Arkansas) and Melissa Renn (Harvard University). The exhibition will be on view at the Michener from December 2, 2017 to March 25, 2018 and will then travel to Roswell, where it will be on view from April 20 to August 12, 2018.

National Endowment for the Arts Chairman Jane Chu has approved more than $82 million to fund local arts projects and partnerships in the NEA’s second major funding announcement for fiscal year 2016. The Art Works category supports the creation of work and presentation of both new and existing work,

lifelong learning in the arts, and public engagement with the arts through 13 arts disciplines or fields.

“The arts are all around us, enhancing our lives in ways both subtle and obvious, expected and unexpected,” said NEA Chairman Jane Chu. “Supporting projects like this one from the Michener Art Museum offers more opportunities to engage in the arts every day.”

The Michener Art Museum is located at 138 South Pine St., Doylestown, Pa. It is open Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.; Saturday, 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; and Sunday, noon 5:00 p.m. For more information, visit MichenerArtMuseum.org or call (215) 340-9800.

“Start Fresh” Exhibit At Taplin Gallery

The Arts Council of Princeton’s (ACP) exhibition “Start Fresh” is on view through June 24 in the Taplin Gallery located at Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street. Also on view in the Downstairs Gallery in the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts is “Ode to Mrs. Delaney,” an exhibition of artwork created in collaboration with Princeton Nursery School.

“Start Fresh” is a group exhibition about clarity, finesse, energy, nature, healing, and defying expectations in art. Curated by Eva Mantell, the exhibit includes original works from Polly Apfelbaum, Lindsay Feuer, Susan Hockaday, Natalie Jeremijenko, Melissa Marks, and Scott Wright. The exhibit brings together the work of six artists along with that of approximately 80 students from the Arts Council’s Arts and Health programs.

The ACP provides Outreach Programming throughout the greater Princeton community, including Carrier Clinic, the Hospital at Princeton Health, Atrium Senior Living, Greenwood House, Brandywine Senior Living, Harriet Bryan House and in the Arts Council’s own Caregivers Class, held at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.

Inspired by Mary Granville Delaney, who began her art career at the age of 72, each of these diverse programs was invited to take apart a paper flower — Delaney is said to have dissected flowers in order to understand their structure — and reassemble the pieces to create new paper hybrids. These revamped flowers, on view in “Start Fresh,” now speak about memory, emotion, vulnerability, risk and the touch of many hands and hearts.

The ACP, founded in 1967, is a non-profit organization with a mission of Building Com munit y t hrough t he Arts. Housed in the landmark Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, designed by architect Michael Graves, the ACP fulfills its mission by presenting a wide range of programs including exhibitions, performances, free community cultural events, and studio-based classes and workshops in a wide range of media. Arts Council of Princeton programs are designed to be high-quality, engaging, affordable, and accessible for the diverse population of the greater Princeton region.

Music and Theater Music Is a Love Affair For Guitarist Gambetta Beppe Gambetta likens his youthful discovery of bluegrass guitarist Doc Watson to the euphoria of falling in love. “When you love music, this music is going to call you,” said the internationally known folk musician, who will perform in Kingston this weekend. “It’s exactly the same process as when you see the woman of your life. You just know.”

Join ing Mr. G amb et ta at Kingston Presbyterian Church on Saturday are guests Barry Mitterhoff, who

plays mandolin; and Danny Weiss, guitarist. The upcoming concert, a combination of bluegrass and Italian music, is not Mr. Gambetta’s first in the area. An event last year drew some 250 fans, and this year’s performance is predicted to do the same. He hopes to stage similar events every year, always with guest musicians he admires.

The Princeton area is familiar to Mr. Gambetta, 61, because he and his wife own a home in Stockton.

“Six years ago, we decided to have a home here rather than in some place you might expect, like Nashville,” he said during an interview last week. “We have some great friends here and there are a lot of musicians.”

Back in his native Genoa, Mr. Gambetta was studying classical music “like every good Italian kid,” he said, when he first heard a tune

by Doc Watson. “I said, ‘That’s for me.’ It was many years before I could come to the United States to see my idols, but I studied very hard from home and learned by ear. Finally, when I was 28, I got the chance to travel.”

Once on American soil some three decades ago, he made an effort to meet Watson and other musicians he admired. He headed to a festival in Georgia where many of his heroes were performing. “I didn’t speak English, but I spent all my time there in the first row,” he said. “At the campground, when I played a solo, everyone was so impressed that they fed me hamburgers.”

It is the simplicity of the flat-picking style of bluegrass that makes it so addictive. “It has great beauty,” Mr. Gambetta said. “The vitality and the deepness, with such pure elements, the simplicity of an acoustic instrument — that is what touched me. I think it is the way you can build a masterpiece out of very simple components. It’s like using basic ingredients to cook a wonderful meal.”

Mr. Gambetta’s first album sold 15,000 copies. “In the folk world, that is sort of a record,” he said. “That album opened many doors for me. It was really the start of my career.”

As focused as he is on flatpicking, Mr. Gambetta also loves the traditional music of his native country. “I became sort of an ambassador of that,” he said. “Mandolin is the motor of much of the music I love. I don’t play it, but I love it. In Italy, mandolin is the instrument of folk music.”

Mr. Gambetta is proud to say he has performed in all 50 states. He is also proud to have met Doc Watson several times, even joining other musicians to perform at his funeral four years ago in North Carolina. He

divides his time between Italy and the U.S., teaching and holding workshops as well as performing at folk festivals and independent concerts like the one coming up this weekend.

“We’ve tried to start something that we can return to every year,” he said of the upcoming performance. “I love doing these concerts, with guest artists who are from important moments of

my life and my career. And the Princeton area is such a good place to do them.”

Beppe Gambetta, Barry Mitterhoff and Danny Weiss appear Saturday, June 4, 8 p.m. at Kingston Presb y te r i a n C h u r c h , 4565 Route 27. Tickets are $25 ($10 for those age 24 and under). Visit www.beppeconcert.com or call (609) 273-3397.

It’s Birds vs. Pigs in Animated Movie of Popular Video Game

W

ith over three billion downloads, Angry Birds is arguably the most popular app of all time.

Nevertheless, you don’t need to be familiar with the video game in order to enjoy this delightful animated adventure.

The cartoon was co-directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis who are making their debut with this silly comedy that features enough sophisticated asides to keep adults thoroughly entertained. The production is laced with witty one-liners (like “Something isn’t Kosher about these pigs.”) as well as lots of cute sight gags (such as a billboard for “Calvin Swine” underwear).

The story is set on idyllic Bird Island, a tropical paradise that is inhabited by a variety of very happy flightless birds. As the film unfolds, we’re introduced to four birdse who actually have trouble controlling their tempers. We find that Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Terence (Sean Penn), are attending an anger management class being taught by Matilda (Maya Rudolph), a former angry bird who has become a therapist.

The plot thickens with the arrival of a big boat containing two green pigs (Bill Hader and Tony Hale) who claim to be alone and are explorers coming in peace. Of course, the pair have a hidden agenda that is about to be executed by their army of pigs hidden in the boat.

After persuading the gentle gullible birds into letting down their guard, the invaders steal every egg on the island and then set sail for home. When the birds realize that they’ve been duped, the angry quartet, led by Red, springs into action.

Because they can’t fly, they realize their best chance of retrieving the eggs depends upon enlisting the assistance of Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage), the only bird on the island who can still fly. Unfortunately, he’s lazy and hasn’t flown in ages. Of course, Red and company coax him into joining forces with them to help save the day. The movie is a kooky comedy with lots of laughs for kids of all ages.

Very Good (HHH). Rated PG for action and rude humor.

Running time: 95 minutes. Distributor: Sony Pictures.

—Kam Williams

YOU’VE JUST GOT TO HELP US GET OUR EGGS BACK!: Red (Jason Sudekis, right) and Chuck (Josh Gad) are desperately trying to convince Mighty Eagle, who is the only remaining bird on the island who can still fly, that he has to fly again to retrieve all of their eggs that were stolen from them by the pigs.

Emphasizing Hard Work, Positive Approach, Wheeler Helps PU Open Crew Excel at NCAAs

M

eghan Wheeler had a bad taste in her mouth last spring as she wrapped up her junior season with the Princeton University women’s open crew.

After helping the varsity 8 take an encouraging third in the Ivy Championships, Wheeler and her teammates stumbled at the NCAA Championships.

The Tigers failed to qualify for the Grand Final for a second year in a row and sunk to an 11th place finish as they took fifth in the petite final.

“Last year was one of the roughest years for Princeton rowing,” said Wheeler. “We thought things were a little negative.”

Getting named as a tri-captain along with classmates Erin Reelick and Mary Ann McNulty, Wheeler looked to change the tone heading into the 2016 season.

“Our whole thing, first and foremost, leading by example and then secondly creating a team environment this year that is a little more positive,” said Wheeler.

That positive approach paid dividends as Princeton won the varsity 8 Grand Final at the Ivy Championships in May and made it back to the Grand Final at the NCAA Championships last weekend at Gold River, Calif., where they placed sixth.

In Wheeler’s view, last season’s struggles paved the way for this year’s success.

“I think this entire year has been looking at what we were doing last year and then thinking how we can do a little better in everything that we do and how can we make sure that the end result is not what happened last year,” said Wheeler.

“I think it has made the team so much more powerful, so much more connected this year. So while last year sucked, we have made the most out of it and we are

doing a lot better this year because of it.”

Wheeler has gotten a lot out of rowing since she took it up as a freshman at McLean (Va.) High, deciding to try the sport after going to a team organizational meeting mainly to keep a friend company.

“I liked it right away; I had a group of friends who were doing it so it was very fun to get to do it with my friends,” said the 6’0 Wheeler, whose also played basketball for three seasons at McLean.

“I wasn’t too bad it at first so that made it a little easier to keep going. I think I did well because I was tall.”

Wheeler helped McLean win a state title in the varsity 4 as a junior and also competed at the Head of Charles rowing for a club program out of the Thompson Boat Center in Washington, D.C. Realizing that she had the potential to row at the college level, Wheeler got involved in the recruiting process and eventually decided to come to Princeton.

“I just thought the team was amazing; it was both a great school and a great community,” said Wheeler, who also considered Stanford, Washington, and Yale.

“It is really close to home. I think the main thing was that the coaching staff and the facilities are unparalleled.”

During her freshman year at Princeton, Wheeler quickly realized that she needed to get up to speed to compete at the next level.

“I think with rowing, it was just stepping up my game a little bit; I came in and I definitely wasn’t as fit as I should have been,” said Wheeler.

“I didn’t really know what I could do as a member of the team so I think it was an adjustment. You can be a really good rower and you just have to put the work in to be

a really big contributing team member so I think freshman year was about figuring out what I wanted to do at Princeton crew.”

Wheeler found a home on the second varsity 8 that spring after spending some time in the top boat.

“It was one of the valuable experiences I got at Princeton; I really got a taste of what it was like to be in the 1V but at the end of the season I ended up on the 2V,” recalled Wheeler.

“The team did really well that year so I was happy to be wherever I was. But in talking with the coaches, they said, look you can be in the 1V and you are a really good rower but for right now we are a really fast team and you are going to be in the 2V. It gave me a really good sense of how to be OK with no matter where you are on the team. The 2V was great that year.”

As a sophomore, Wheeler moved up to the top boat and helped the Tigers win the Ivy League grand final as they WHEELING AND DEALING: Princeton University women’s rowdefeated top-ranked Brown. ing star Meghan Wheeler powers through the water in a race “It was a really good year this spring.

Princeton refined its racing approach this finish last year.

“Everyone is feeling really excited bespring after starting the season by losing cause sometimes you go into NCAAs and to Brown and Ohio State.

“I think the first race was really cool you are really nervous and you are super to open with two of the top teams in the scared to go against the best crews in the country; while we want to win at Princeton, country.

The next chapter of the amazing turnaround story written by the Princeton University baseball team this spring will take place down in the Bayou.

The Tigers, who went from 7-32 and the Ivy League cellar in 2015 to 24-19 and the league title this spring, have been sent to Lafayette, La. regional of the NCAA tournament.

Princeton, seeded fourth, w i l l p l ay t h e h o s t a n d top -seeded University of L ou i s ia n a - L afaye t te, on Friday evening in an opening round contest at M.L. “Tigue” Moore Field. The Tigers and the Ragin’ Cajuns, ranked 17th nationally, will be joined at the doubleel i m i nat ion re g iona l by

second-seeded Sam Houston State and third-seeded Arizona, who will face off in the other opening round matchup.

Princeton is making its 12t h appearance in t he N CA A Tou r n a m e nt a n d first since the 2011 Texas Regional, where the Tigers fell 5-3 to Texas and 3-1 to Texas State. It is Princeton’s seventh trip to the NCAAs in the 19-season tenure of head Scott Bradley, who was named the 2016 Ivy League Coach of the Year.

In program history, Princeton has won three games in the NCAA Tournament.

The Tigers defeated Rider in 1965, beat The Citadel in 2001 and bested No. 8 Virginia in 2004. Since the

regional format began in 1975, the Tigers have never advanced to the Super Regionals weekend. Princeton has been to one College World Series in 1951, losing to Southern California and Tennessee.

The Tigers bring plenty of momentum into the competition, having gone 13-6 in their last 19 games and show ing a penchant for come-from-behind v icto ries. In securing its bid to the tournament, Princeton staged a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning in the decisive third game of the Ivy League Championship Series to edge Yale 2-1.

Offensively, the Tigers are led by five All-Ivy performers, senior Danny Hoy (.317 batting average with 40 runs scored, 4 homers and 26 RBIs in 2016), senior Billy Arendt (.267, 4 homers, 18 RBIs), junior Zack Belski .(265, 3 homers, 28 RBIs), junior Nick Hernandez (.290, 3 homers, 32 RBIs), and freshman Jesper Horsted (.326, 20 runs, 12 RBIs).

Princeton boasts a strong starting pitching rotation in junior Chad Powers (6-3, 2.07 ERA in 2016), junior Keelan Smithers (4-1, 3.46 ERA), and senior Cameron Mingo ( 6 -3, 3.81 ER A) .

Powers was named the Ivy Pitcher of the Year and a first-team All Ivy pick with Smithers earning secondteam honors.

The Tigers will face a formidable challenge in the

Ragin’ Cajuns, who have posted a 41-19 record on the season and recently became the first program in Sun Belt Conference history to win three straight conference tournaments. UL-Lafayette has won 10 straight games and is looking to advance to its third consecutive Super Regional.

The Sam Houston State Bearkats are 41-20 overall and earned the Southland Conference’s automatic bid.

The Bearkats have made the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons.

This is Arizona’s first trip to the NCAA tourney since winning the 2012 National Championship. The Wildcats are 38-20 this season and finished with a RPI of 21.

Arizona and Princeton have faced off one time with the Wildcats getting the victory in the 1992 meeting.

PU Sports Roundup Rowing Standout Agolia Receives the 1916 Cup

Princeton University men’s light weight rower James Agolia was named last week as this year’s winner of the 1916 Cup. The award, which was given by the Class of 1916 on the occasion of its 50th reunion, is presented to the senior varsity letter winner

with the highest academic standing.

Agolia’s academic honors include the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence in 2013 and 2014, the Peter N. Curtin Award for Excellence in Chemistry Research, and all-academic recognition f rom t he Intercollegiate Rowing Association. This spring he also was awarded the Pyne Prize, the highest undergraduate honor at Princeton.

After graduation, he plans to attend medical school and pursue a career as a surgeon

and basic scientist in academic medicine.

Agolia stroked the third varsity boat to a gold medal at Eastern Sprints earlier this month. He is a chemistry major from Massapequa Park, N.Y. ———

NCAA Champ Livingston Named as PU Diving Coach

Drew Livingston, a twotime NCAA champion for the University of Texas and the 2012 NCAA Championships Diver of the Year, was named last week as the the new head coach of the Princeton University diving program.

Livingston, who coached at both Texas and LSU over the last three years, won the 2009 and 2012 NCAA championships on the 1-meter board, and he was a 10time A ll-A merica during his undergraduate career at Texas, where he helped the Longhorns win the 2010 NCAA team championship.

Livingston’s coaching career began at his alma mater, where he worked daily with head coach Matt Scoggin in the practice planning and development of both collegiate and post-graduated divers. That 2013-14 season concluded with Texas freshman Michael Hixon earning the NCAA Championships Diver of the Meet honor.

After that stint, Livingston spent the last two seasons as the graduate assistant

coach at LSU, where he assisted in all phases of coaching, ranging from recruiting to practice sessions. In his two years, LSU divers broke three out of the six school records and scored the most team points in the 2015 SEC Championships.

During his Texas career, Livingston was an All-America honoree each year. The 2011-12 team captain, he capped his time with the Longhorns by winning the 1-meter board, taking second on the 3-meter board, and placing fourth on the platform.

The four-time Big 12 Most Outstanding Diver, Livingston set the NCAA and Big 12 record on the platform.

Livingston replaces Greg Gunn, who announced his resignation after a successful 30-year stint with the Tiger diving teams. Gunn coached 30 individual Ivy League champions and nine All-America honorees throughout his Princeton career, and he helped the Tigers win 36 Ivy League swimming and diving team championships (19 men, 17 women) during his tenure.

4 PU Senior Athletes Share Art Lane Award

Princeton University seniors Anya Gersoff, a women’s lacrosse and field hockey standout, men’s soccer player Josh Miller, women’s distance running star Emily de la Bruyere, and rowing standout Mary Ann McNulty were named last week as the 2016 winners of the Art Lane Award, given to honor selfless contribution to sport and society by an undergraduate athlete.

Lane won the Pyne Prize and captained the 1933 Princeton football team to the national championship as an undergraduate before going on to a career as a Naval officer, federal judge,

and corporate general counsel.

Gersoff, a native of Greenwood Village, Colo., has dedicated herself to service throughout her time on campus. In 2014, Gersoff worked in Kampala, Uganda with Fields of Growth, a volunteer organization that “seeks to harness the passion of athletes into positive social impact through international service, global learning and youth sport development.”

During the 2014 Lacrosse World Championships in Denver, Gersoff was ap pointed the Local Operations Coordinator for Team Uganda and arranged meal and team equipment donations.

Miller, a two-year captain for the soccer team, has spent his time at Princeton embracing leadership opportunities. As a founding member of the Student Athlete Service Council, Miller has served in a leadership role since the fall of 2013 and has supported service opportunities for Princeton student-athletes across all varsity teams. Miller, who hails from Portland, Ore., has been a frequent participant as part of several service initiatives under the Princeton Varsity Club, including Reading with the Tigers and Weapons of Mass Construction. Miller has also been a co-lead on a recycling program in conjunction with Terracycle which recycles waste from the new fueling station in Jadwin Gym. New York City native de la Bruyere, a member of both women’s cross country and track teams, has volunteered her time both within the Princeton community and abroad. During her time at Princeton, de la Bruyere has been able to serve the student body as an academic mentor and tutor. Overseas, de la Bruyere has had the opportunity to work in both China and France under World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. Additionally, de la Bruyere has committed her time to Habitat for Humanity in both Florida and Texas as well as a member of the Renovation team with Yale’s Bulldogs on Baranof in Alaska.

McNulty, who hails from Jacksonville, Fla., served as a tri-captain of the Princeton women’s open rowing team this year, demonstrating a consistent positive demeanor and natural ability to lead. She helped the Tiger second varsity 8 take sixth at the NCAA Championships last weekend. A volunteer for the Community Based Learning Initiative, McNulty has worked in Trenton to gather data on residential segregation, which was later presented at a town meeting to discuss her findings. The summer of her freshman year, McNulty spent nine weeks in Swahili as she participated in initiatives to teach English and promote job skills within the Mwenge Community, a low income neighborhood.

A s t he P r inceton Day School boys’ tennis team hit the court for the opening rounds of the state Prep B tournament last week, it was taking the first steps in its pursuit of a fourth straight title.

In getting his players ready for the competition, though, PDS head coach Will Asch wasn’t dwelling on going after the impressive feat.

“We don’t talk winning or losing that much,” said Asch. “We really talk more about are we ready, are we prepared, have we been practicing well, and are we going to play our best.”

In the first day of action at Wardlaw-Hartridge on May 22, the Panthers showed they were more than ready to play their best, advancing to the finals in four of the five flights of the competition, clinching the team title before the finals were even played.

“They have practiced hard, it is a very good group,” said Asch.

“We did a good job from the top down; it is always hard to be good on both ends, I find.”

While the finals last Thursday were icing on the cake, Asch wanted his players to keep doing their jobs.

“We wanted everybody to be very prepared, we wanted them to play their best,” said Asch, whose squad totaled 11 points in the team standings with Rutgers Prep and Gill St. Bernard’s tying for second with six.

“It is very anticlimactic if we win the title on Sunday and then go home losing a lot of matches in the finals. We won three of four matches, we lost in first doubles but we won the other three.”

At first singles, senior Scott Altmeyer gutted out some tough matches to win the title.

“Scott had a little bit of a tough match in his second round match (against Mark Nagpal of MorristownBeard) but he played serve and volley and he won like 14 points in a row,” recalled Asch.

“When he started to play serve and volley, he was serving kick serves to the boy’s backhand and the serve comes up pretty high and the boy couldn’t handle it.

He kind of ran away with the match that way. If he hadn’t figured that out, it might’ve been a tough match. In the finals, Scott went three sets but the boy that he played (Satish Kumar of WardlawHartridge) got cramps in the third set. It was a close match and then he started to cramp and it was over.”

Sophomore Lex Decker cruised to the crown at second singles, not dropping a set in three matches.

“Lex is a legit No. 1 singles, on most prep school teams, he would be No. 1,” said Asch. “Nobody really competed with him, he pretty much blew everybody away.”

The first doubles pair of Jacob Chang and Vivek Sharma produced some dramatic rallies to advance to the championship round before losing to Sean Lau and Kurosh Keyvan of Rutgers Prep in the final.

“Our first doubles has been a little bit off but they had two great comeback wins on Sunday,” said Asch.

“Vivek Sharma had a bad blister on his right hand and he fought his way through it eventually. For a while he could hardly hit the ball, that was very tough for him. He started to realize that losing would hurt a lot more than his blister.”

In Asch’s view, the second doubles team of Nye and Liao showed a winning spirit as they prevailed in a three-

setter against Dhruva Mulye and Zach Osman of Rutgers Prep to earn the crown in their flight.

“Leo Nye and Noah Liao really did a great job and improved unbelievably,” said Asch.

“They really worked very hard and second doubles particularly had a very good finish on the season. They had two really big wins for us on Sunday and they started to beat some very strong teams.”

Senior captain Altmeyer set the tone for the Panthers when it came to work ethic. “We have had many good singles players over

the years but having Scott was really great,” asserted Asch.

“Scott was a wonderful leader for us. He is a senior and seniors are not always available, they have other things going on but he wasn’t like that. Scott loves to play.

He would come out and play every day. He loves that and that was very important.”

Asch, for his part, believes

that passion for the game is the foundation for the PDS title streak.

“I think it says that we have continuity in our program, kids are attracted to the school for the tennis program,” asserted Asch, in reflecting on the championship. “Kids work hard when they play tennis for us and stay with the program.”

Stepping Up in Move to Group 4 Sectional Meet, PHS Track Athletes Produce Stellar Performance As the Princeton High track teams prepared for the sectional meet last weekend, they knew they were moving up in class.

Having typically competed in Group 3, PHS was elevated to Group 4 this year, facing larger schools and tougher competition.

Unfazed by the challenge, PHS rose to the occasion at the Central Jersey Group 4 competition at Hillsborough High as the boys’ squad placed fifth in the team standings while the girls finished seventh.

With a top six finish required to make it through to next week’s Group 4 state championship meet, PHS saw a number of athletes qualify for that competition.

A s for t h e b o y s, t h e 4x800 team took second, setting a school record by over three seconds with its time of 7:54.53, breaking a mark set in 1981. Junior Alex Roth advanced in three events, as well as part of the 4x800, second in the 3,200 and third in the 1,600, while sophomore Will Hare qualified in the 3,200 by taking third. Other qualifiers included senior Nick Birnie in the pole vault (third), senior Theo Tel in the long jump (fourth), junior Cy Watsky

in the 800 (sixth) and freshman Paul Brennan in discus (third) with a personal record of 161’ 4.

On the girls’ side, sophomore Jack ie Pat terson starred, winning the 400, finishing fourth in the 800, and helping the 4x400 take four th with a school record time of 3:58.73. She was joined by senior Maia Hauschild, senior Jordan Vine and sophomore Caren Ju in the relay. The girls’ 4x800 relay took third.

Senior Lou Mialhe made it through in three events: as part of the 4x800, second in the 3,200 and fourth in the 1,600 while sophomore Chloe Taylor was fourth in the 3,200.

“We put a big emphasis going up to Group 4; it is uncharted territory for us,” said Ben Samara, the associate head coach of the PHS boys’ and girls’ teams.

“All of a sudden, the seedings for us in all these events that we got through, it looks like we were still in Group 3. It doesn’t look any different, everybody stepped their game up.”

Junior star Roth took his game to a higher level as he nearly pulled off a distance double to go along with helping the 4x800 relay to its record-setting perfor-

mance.

“Alex was a huge part of things, he had his best split ever in the 4x800, a 1:56 along with Cy,” said Samara.

“He hung with the top guys in the mile and then he came back and led the whole way until the very end in the two-mile and got a strong second there. He has developed into a stud, he always steps it up. The bigger the meet, the bigger the performance.”

For Samara, the effort produced by the 4x800 relay was one of the big highlights of the meet for the Little Tigers.

“That is a school record that has been around for a long time; we have taken shots at it a couple of times but this time it wasn’t even a question,” said Samara, noting that sophomore Nick Delaney and senior Jack Metzheiser joined Roth and Watsky.

“They blew it away, every leg looked incredible; they wanted that race very badly.”

Junior Watsky is developing into a top racer, becoming a standout in the 800.

“Cy has come into his own this year, he is a lot of fun to watch,” said Samara.

“You talk about no fear.

He attacks the 800, he goes after it every single time. He

BREAKING AWAY: Princeton High distance running star Alex Roth breaks the tape in winning the Princeton 5k last month. Last weekend, junior star Roth helped PHS take fifth in the Central Jersey Group 4 boys’ sectional meet. He placed second in the 3,200, third in the 1,600 and helped the 4x800 relay take second and set a school record of 7:54.53, breaking a mark set in 1981. has had a huge drop in time this year.”

In the longer distances, sophomore Hare has thrived from getting after it with Roth on a daily basis.

“It always helps to have a guy to train with to raise the level of competition and to raise the level of all these guys and Hare is right there with Alex,” added Samara.

“If Roth is second, he is third; if Roth is third, he is fourth. He is right there, just running with him. He showed a lot of heart in that two mile, running in that

blistering heat.”

The Little Tigers got a blistering effort from Patterson as she set personal records in the 400 (57.27) and 800 (2:18.9) at the sectional meet.

“Jackie has now become a really smart runner,” said Samara. “Before she was so athletically gifted that she was running these great times and now she is running smart. She is following these race plans that we are talking about before the race in the 400 and 800. The fact that she is running the 800 as well now is incredible too because she hasn’t really done the long distance training.”

In Samara’s view, the progress shown by Patterson this spring has been incredible.

“We expected Patterson to be good but this is out of this world what she is doing right now,” asserted Samara, noting that Patterson ran a good leg in the 4x400 at the Penn Relays despite losing a shoe on the baton pass and that she went from fourth to first in the last 100 meters to win the 400 at the Mercer County Championships.

“Jackie has had a confidence thing we have been working on with her and I said to her over the last month, there have been two times (the Penn Relays and the county meet), if you can do these things you should not doubt yourself at all. You

should feel you can do anything.”

Senior star and Rutgersbound Mialhe has proven that she can excel in just about anything on the track.

“Lou is just steady; you are always going to get a nice performance out of her,” said Samara.

“She got through in three events, she had a great time in the 4x800. In that heat, she and Chloe Taylor ran a great two-mile. She is just so versatile. She is the New Jersey leader in the steeplechase and is going to nationals in the steeplechase. You can put her anywhere on the track. She could’ve advanced in the 400 hurdles probably, she didn’t even run it this week. She could be a member of our 4x400 if we had the room. She is such a versatile athlete and such a big part of the team.”

Mialhe’s versatility helped spark the 4x800 relay to a superb effort.

“The girls 4x800 was great too; their time would have won the sectional we were in last year,” said Samara of the quartet which included senior Emma Eikelberner and junior Anne Walker in addition to Mialhe and Taylor.

“They still ended up finishing third in Group 4 and they put together a really nice race. It was a lot of fun to watch.”

For Samara, the most fun of the day came in seeing the 4x400 come through after enduring a tough week.

“The girls’ 4x400 broke the school record by just a little bit, about 15 hundredths of a second,” said Samara.

“It was a nerve-wracking week because everyone of those girls was sick, Jackie had the least of it, but a lot of these girls were deathly ill all week because a stomach virus was going around.

This is our special group and we circled the sectional date on the calendar. There was a lot of uncertainty this week, were we going to make it to next week. They just put a performance together that they needed to do to get through. They toughed it out, they laid there after that race for a good, long time.

They were exhausted, they should be proud of themselves.”

And the whole PHS track program has reason to be proud by the way it stepped up last weekend against the Group 4 competition.

Playing at Monroe in the opening round of the Central Jersey Group 4 sectional, the Princeton High softball team got off to a rough start, falling behind 3-0 in the first inning.

But with junior star Kayla Volante mowing down the Monroe hitters and going 3-for-4 at the plate, PHS fought its way back into the contest.

With Nancy Gray and Bianca Guidi delivering RBI hits, the 11th-seeded Little Tigers narrowed the gap to 3-2 against sixth-seeded Monroe. But with seventh inning rally fizzling, PHS ended up falling by that margin.

In the view of PHS head coach Dave Boehm, the tough loss served as a microcosm of a spring of near misses for the Little Tigers as they posted a record of 9-14.

“We gave away a couple of runs and we held them after that but we didn’t have enough clutch hits; we had some situations where we could have gotten runners in,” said Boehm.

“Unfortunately this has almost been the theme of the season. We don’t have the big hits, we pitch pretty well, we play defense pretty well.

We gave them the two early runs and we end up losing the game. Volante pitched a hell of a game.”

In Boehm’s view, PHS had the potential for a better season. “It is pretty disappointing; I thought we could have gotten double digit wins,” said Boehm, whose team did post the program’s first two wins over WW/PS, including a 6-0 win over the Pirates in the opening round of the Mercer County Tournament.

“We had some nice wins, beating South was nice. We always try to beat somebody we haven’t beaten in the

program and beating them twice was big.”

PHS got big years from its senior class, which included Kelli Swedish (.367 batting average in 2016 with 17 runs and 16 runs scored), Emily DiLella (.254, 7 RBIs), Stephanie Wu (.356, 10 runs, 7 RBIs), Genna Garlock (.292, 5 runs, 9 RBIs), and Natalie Campisi (.289, 15 runs, 10 RBIs).

“I can’t say enough about Kelli Swedish, she is the type of kid if you want a captain, that is who you get,” said Boehm.”

“She really did a good job.

Emily kept them in there and was pretty inspirational to some of the players. She was a help in that way. Wu was an enigma at times but overall she hit pretty well. Garlock played a steady outfield for us, she had some big hits.

Campisi was in center field all season and was at the top of the lineup. She had some really nice bunt hits, which was valuable.

As it turns out, Boehm is leaving along with the seniors, having decided to step down from his post after five seasons at the helm.

“It is one of those things, you really don’t have a feeder program and you are up against odds going into some of these games; you are facing teams that have six, seven, eight, nine travel league players and you are sitting there with two,” said Boehm, who was an assistant coach at PHS for three seasons before taking the head coach job.

“You are behind the eight ball right off the bat. If you come close to some of these teams you are lucky. You don’t get victories by coming close. As much as you might want them to be moral victories, they are not, they are still a loss. Yes you scared them but you didn’t win, you have got to scare them by

beating them and knowing that you can beat them.”

As Boehm reflected on his tenure, he is proud of some of the breakthroughs that PHS achieved over the last five years.

“Probably w inning the first county game against Lawrence (3-2 in 2012) that anybody can remember and I think it was the first one in history that we won,” said Boehm, when asked about to list the highlights of his time guiding the Little Tigers.

“That was a team that steamrolled us the first time we played them and then they came to our place and it went extra innings. We were 11-12 the next season, that was the high in wins.”

Another highlight for Boehm was the relationships that he developed along the way.

“I am going to miss some of the players that I have had, some of the ones that come along the way but time moves on,” said Boehm.

“You miss them; sometimes you will see them when they come back. I have gotten some emails from former players; it is nice to get those things. I also got some emails from the parents.”

B o eh m w i l l a ls o m is s matching wits on the diamond with his counterparts from opposing teams.

“I like competing against some of the other coaches, like Jean Ruppert from Steinert and Arty Kearns from Notre Dame,” said Boehm, adding that he would consider joining another program as an assistant coach.

“Those are teams that come out and you know they are a more talented team than you are before you even get on the field.

When you can stay close to them, it makes you feel good. You know what their characteristics are as far as what they are going to call and what they are going to put in play and it’s a cat and mouse game. I like the strategy part of the game.”

PHS Girls’ Lacrosse Enjoyed Season of Growth, Fueled by Senior Stars, Improving Young Players Adding a number of new faces into its lineup with the loss of several probable starters, the Princeton High girls’ lacrosse team faced a season of transition this spring.

But with its younger players stepping up, PHS got better and better as the 2016 campaign went on. Down the stretch of the season, the Little Tigers posted wins over Allentown, Montgomery and North Brunswick while losing tight games to Mercer County Tournament winner Notre Dame and Prep A champion Lawrenceville.

PHS saved some of its best lacrosse for last, as the sixthseeded Little Tigers cruised past Toms River North 22-7 in the opening round of the South Group 4 sectional before falling to third-seeded Rancocas Valley 10-9 in the sectional quarterfinals after trailing 8-1 at halftime.

In reflecting on the season, which saw the Little Tigers post a final record of 10-8, PHS head coach David Schlesinger was pleased with the strides made by his youthful squad.

“We started a lot of very young, very inexperienced players, who got a ton of playing time and grew tremendously,” said Schlesinger, noting that a trio of freshmen, Mariana Lopez-Ona, Kathryn DeMilt, and Serena Bolitho, played prominent roles for the squad.

“We had lost five probable returning starters through various reasons; one girl transferred, we had an injury and we had three girls decide that they didn’t want to play lacrosse any more.

We had to put girls into very prominent roles and they had to sink or swim. I think as the season progressed they did quite well.”

The Lit tle Tigers gave a graphic display of their progress in the rout of Toms River Nor th in the state opener.

“We played them very well, the girls were very excited

about it,” said Schlesinger, who got eight goals and an assist from senior star Taylor Lis in the win with classmate Julia Ryan chipping in four goals and fives assist as they dominated in their final home appearance.

“We wanted to show well with our home fans. We knew that it was likely our last home game of the season so we wanted to put on a good performance and I think we did just that.”

In the loss to Rancocas, PHS showed some good character to go with its talent as they battled back from the 8 -1 deficit and nearly pulled off the upset in the one-goal defeat.

“We can go down and get our butts kicked or we can try and mount a comeback and just play one possession at a time and not worry about the score,” said Schlesinger, reflecting on his halftime message.

“It is very much a momentum sport and we were

doing very well with draw controls in the first half but we just couldn’t turn them into goals. We knew that we could score on them and one thing led to another. The kids are all young and when you start to pressure a team pretty heavily, things start falling your way. Unfortunately we ran out of time.”

Schlesinger enjoyed his time with his senior standouts Lis, Ryan, and Gabrielle Deitch.

“We had tremendous performance out of our seniors; our three seniors all played extremely well,” said Schlesinger.

“I can’t say enough about the performance this year of Julia Ryan and Taylor Lis. I think Julia ended up with 97 points and Taylor was at 87 points and led the team in scoring with 74 goals. I had those seniors for two years and they are going to be greatly missed. We hope that out younger players learn from them and evolve into players that are just as good and equal to them as leaders.”

Hosting Youth Rowing Nationals for the First Time, PNRA/ Mercer Proud to Have 4 of Its Crews in Event As the Princeton National Rowing Association (PNRA) hosts the USRowing Youth National Championships for the first time ever, it is hoping that some home cooking will help the four PNRA Mercer Rowing Club crews that qualified for the competition.

Coming up big at the MidAtlantic Youth Championships held on its Mercer Lake course in May, PNRA/ Mercer saw its Men’s Youth 8 plus Coxswain, Women’s Yout h 8 plus Coxs wain event, Women’s Youth Lightweight 8 plus Coxswain, and the Women’s Lightweight 4 plus Coxswain each secure bids to the national competi-

tion which is slated for June 10-12.

In punching its ticket to the nationals, the Men’s Youth 8, coached by Justin Ochal, battled a familiar foe, Gonzaga College High, who it had scrimmaged in early April on Mercer Lake. Gonzaga placed first with a time of 6:09.4 and PNRA/Mercer placed second with a time of 6:13.8.

In the view of Mercer senior co-captain John Tanguay of Hopewell Valley High, competing against Gonzaga early helped steel the boat for the challenges of postseason action.

in June really helps us out,” said Tanguay. “Familiarizing ourselves with what it will be like in high intensity race situations works to our benefit.

We now know to do nothing in moderation, so chipping away some seconds [from our 2,000 meter race time] in the next five weeks is going to be grueling. However, we have the drive to do it.”

In addition to Tanguay, the PNRA/Mercer crew included junior Andrew Hickey (Notre Dame High), senior Jason Fleurial and junior Carter Levine (both from Princeton High ), junior Grant Barthelmes (Ranney School), j u n i or D a n i e l S to d d a r d (WW/P-S), freshman Jack Gallagher ( Council Rock High Nor t h ), senior co captain Kevin Borup (South Brunswick High and junior coxswain Sarah Brune (Lanoka Harbor).

PNRA/Mercer’s Women’s Youth 8 plus Coxswain, Women’s Youth Lightweight 8 plus Coxswain, and Women’s Lightweight 4 plus Coxswain also qualified for the national championship regatta, which will be held on Mercer Lake from June 10-12.

Women’s Youth Lightweight 8 plus Coxswain event.

Senior standout and captain Kate Hickey is primed to help the Women’s Youth 8 for another stellar showing at nationals.

“We are looking forward to training hard over the next month for Youth Nationals where we know we will meet some intense competition,” said Hickey, a senior at Notre Dame High, reflecting on the boats which placed first in the regional competition.

Along with Hickey, the crew competing in the Women’s Youth 8 plus Coxswain event included sophomore Sara Hansen (West Windsor Plainsboro High School South), Caitlin Cleary ( Princeton High School),

junior Katie Lustig (Council Rock North), sophomore Mia Barkenbush (WW/P-S), junior Laila Shehab (Hopewell Valley High), senior Eileen Hu (WW/P-S), sophomore Bridget Parker (Princeton High), senior Rachel Mumau (Millstone Township) and senior coxswain Colleen Gillis (Freehold Township High).

Obituaries

Howard Silvio Mele After John Nash was hospitalized in several mental institutions, Alicia Nash, Nash’s wife, had him committed to Carrier Clinic, Belle Mead, N.J., where he met Dr. Howard S. Mele, who played an important and positive role in his life for the next two years. Nash responded quite quickly to his initial treatment with medication along with therapy sessions and also participated in group therapy,

which Dr. Mele particularly favored to help treat his patient’s schizophrenia. He helped Nash initiate relationships with other people, as forming positive relationships can be extremely difficult for schizophrenics.

Eventually, Nash left Carrier to enter the world again and agreed to seek outpatient treatment if needed.

Dr. Mele felt Nash’s recovery was permanent and that he would gradually be able to handle teaching one or two courses, enabling him to reestablish his status. Later, Nash went on to receive a Nobel Prize for his contributions to game theory. A biography of Nash, A Beautiful Mind, by Sylvia Nasar was published and later a film of the same name was directed by Ron Howard which went on to win an Academy Award for Best Picture. Dr. Mele was especially pleased that both the book and film brought schizophrenia to public awareness. The Meles remained lifelong friends of the Nashes until their untimely death.

Dr. Mele died on May 23, 2016 at the age of 88 as a result of complications from a long illness. He will be remembered by family and friends as a caring husband,

a loving father and grandfather, a visionary in his field of psychiatry, and a wonderful mentor to many of his students. It was a privilege to know him and he was a great friend who will be cherished and missed. Dr. Mele was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on December 6, 1927 to Lucia Pascale Mele and Emidio Mele. Dr. Mele’s father was president and CEO of Mele Manufacturing Company in upstate N.Y. When Emidio was 12 years old, he was brought to this country and lived with a family in Greenwich Village, who had been neighbors of his family in the province of Avellino in Italy. Emidio went to work as a display builder for jewelry store windows in New York City. He then began to design and build jewelry boxes. In 1912, after marrying, he and his young bride opened a tiny store on Mulberry Street in New York City. Thus began Mele Manufacturing Company, which was eventually incorporated in 1931 to become the nation’s largest manufacturer of jewelry boxes with licensees in England, Wales, and Japan.

In his youth, Dr. Mele and his family lived in Brooklyn where he attended a Jesuit elementary school followed

by Erasmus High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. The family then moved to Port Washington, N.Y., and Dr. Mele went on to enter Princeton University and graduated with honors in psychology in 1948, but remained a member of the “great class of 1949.” His thesis, entitled “The Validity of Hypnotically Induced Color Hallucinations,” was published in the

Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology, 1952, 700-704.

He received his MD from the SUNY, Downstate Medical Center in 1952. Following graduation, he did his internship at the VA Hospital in Newington, Conn. and Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Conn. He spent the first year of his residency at Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital in New York City.

His training was interrupted for two years when he served as a First Lieutenant — Captain in the USAF Medical Corps at the USAF Hospital, Sampson AF Base in Geneva, N.Y. He then completed his residency at Bronx Municipal Hospital which was associated with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. He had additional training as a non-matriculating student at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Psychoanalysis; hypnosis courses with Herbert Spiegel, MD at the the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons; the Western Institute for Group and Family Therapy in Watsonville, Calif.; and bot h an exter nship and seminar in Family Therapy at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic. He was Board Certified in psychiatry by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.

His academic appointments included clinical assistant profe s s or of p s ych iat r y at Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pa. and assistant professor of psychiatry at UMDNJ, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Piscataway, N.J. His professional

positions included: Hillside Hospital, Glen Oaks, N.Y.; Yeshiva University, N.Y.C.; and Carrier Foundation, Belle Mead where he was the clinical director of the addiction recovery unit as well as the president of the medical staff. He also enjoyed his private practice.

His hospital appointments included the Medical Center at Princeton, and Somerset Medical Center, Somerville, N.J. in addition to Carrier Clinic. He was licensed in N.Y., N.J., New Mexico, and Michigan. His other publication, A Case of Catatonic Stupor with High Fever was published in Psychosomatic Medicine, Excerpta Medica International Congress Series No. 134 and he presented it at the First International Congress of the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

He was an avid tennis player and he and his wife, Grace, loved the opera and promoted the arts in Princeton and N.Y.C. The Meles have long been advocates for the promotion of Italian culture and education.

They also enjoyed traveling the world over. He was a lifelong member of the American Psychiatric Association, the NJ Psychiatric Association, the Nassau Club, the Old Guard, and his beloved ROMEOS (Retired Old Men Eating Out).

He is survived by his wife of 42 years, Grace Romano
