Governor Chris Christie’s order to halt $3.5 billion of “nonessential” road and rail projects across New Jersey went into effect at midnight last Friday. Concerned about delays to a key bridge replacement project on Carter Road, Mayor Liz Lempert is supporting Mercer County in its efforts to get the state to make an exemption and let work on that bridge continue. The Carter Road project is key because it is scheduled to become a detour route when work on two bridges along Route 206 undergo repairs later this year. Those repairs cannot begin until the Carter Road project is completed. “It is a ridiculous situation that the state finds itself in, and it is shocking that the governor has allowed it to get to this point,” Ms. Lempert said Tuesday. “This is far beyond potholes. This is a bridge that is essential for people to get to school, to work, to town, to get home. It’s going to be disruptive enough to do the work that needs to be done over several months. To add time to the construction project is unacceptable.” Mr. Christie’s plan was implemented as the result of a stalemate with Senate lawmakers over which taxes should be cut in exchange for raising the gas tax to fund road work. The Route 206 project will involve the Department of Transportation replacing one bridge and fixing the bridge over the Stony Brook. That bridge is the oldest in New Jersey. The completion date for the Carter Road bridge was originally scheduled to be August 29. Work on the Route 206 bridges is supposed to begin immediately thereafter and last until December 8. Princeton Council voted recently to approve extended working hours for DOT crews, allowing them to work until 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday in order to expedite the project. “Part of the issue now is that if the work isn’t done by December, then it is possible the road would need to remain closed until work could be completed in the spring,” Ms. Lempert said. “Weather could also affect the schedule. Even a delay of one week can have serious implications.” The work stoppage could continue indefinitely until there is money put into the state’s Transportation Trust Fund. “The Senate has scheduled a session for August 1, but it is unclear how long it’s

Avalon Princeton Plans to Open Next Month

Avalon Princeton, on the former site of Princeton Hospital on Witherspoon Street, is looking forward to welcoming its first residents next month, with construction to complete the 280-unit rental community scheduled through next spring. The new development will include studio apartments starting at $2258 per month, one-bedroom apartments at $2735, twobedroom apartments from $3135, as well as three-bedroom apartments and twoand three-bedroom townhouses. (There are additional fees for application, amenities, security, parking, pet rent, and storage.) “I’m very pleased but not surprised that Avalon Princeton has generated so much interest from the local community and the community at large,” said Ron Ladell, senior vice president of AvalonBay Communities. Apartments will not be available for viewing until next month, and construction workers were the only presence in and around the Avalon Princeton leasing office on Witherspoon Street at mid-day Monday, but Mr. Ladell was enthusiastic about pre-leasing activity

over the past few months. “Pre-leasing continues to go very well and we look forward to the first residents moving in prior to the end of the summer,” he added. He could not provide numbers of pre-leasing applicants. The current plan calls for 23 studio, 100 one-bedroom, 129 two-bedroom, 28 three-bedroom apartments, as well as 12 two- and three-bedroom townhouses on Franklin Street. Fifty-six of the apartments are designated for affordable housing. Avalon Princeton reports that apartment features will include spacious floor

plans, gourmet kitchens with GE stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and tile backsplashes, hard surface plank flooring in living and dining areas, spacious walk-in closets, front-load washers and dryers, energy-efficient windows, and 9-foot ceilings. Private balconies and patios and lofts and dens will be available for select apartments. Townhouses will feature attached garages. Additional upgrades to apartments and townhouses are also available. Upon completion by next spring, the Continued on Page 12

Princeton Future Plans for Public Art In Alley Between Nassau Street Stores First, in 2004, there was Writers Block, an empty lot on Palmer Square transformed into a garden honoring the contributions of notable Princeton University professors. Two years later, there was Quark Park, a sculpture garden on Paul Robeson Place that referred to the research of Princeton scientists. If fundraising goes according to plan, the third collaboration of architect Kevin

Wilkes and landscape artist Peter Soderman will be in place by Labor Day. Design at Dohm Alley, or DaDa, aims to transform the alley between Starbucks and the Landau store on Nassau Street into a kind of multi-media art gallery with rotating programs and exhibits on display through spring, summer, and fall. “You’ll never see anything like this,” said Continued on Page 10

Volunteers From Princeton Churches Help Residents of Appalachia

E ach su m mer, 14,0 0 0 volunteers from across the country travel to Appalachia to help improve living conditions for those less fortunate. Two local churches, Princeton United Methodist and Nassau Presbyterian, have sent groups this month. Their goal, and the slogan of the Appalachian Service Project (ASP), is

to make trailers and other dwellings in the mountain region “warmer, safer, and drier.” Sixteen teenagers and seven adult volunteers made up the PUMC group.

TOPICS Of the Town “Some of our people took out car peting and fi xed flooring and supports and laid down some laminate. Some worked on roofing. And some worked specifically on the ducts for stoves and fans, after which one resident said it was the first time during a storm that it hadn’t rained on her while she was cooking dinner,” said Skitch Matson, who serves as PUMC’s Youth Pastor and also directs the Wesley Foundation at Princeton University. It is making small but important differences in someone’s life that brings participants back to the program, year after year. PUMC has been sending volunteers to Appalachia for four decades. “There was a guy from Wilmington, North Carolina who had a tattoo of ASP on his calf,” said Mr. Matson, who graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary this past May. “These people are lifers. They’ve been doing it for years and years. The turnover rate is very low.” It was hot in the town of Blountville, where the PUMC group was working. Thankfully, it rained every day. “T hat helped,” Mr. Matson said. “The work of construction is tedious and difficult. But being able to see the fruit of your works is important, especially for young students. You make strides, and you know the work you don’t finish will be finished by another group. It’s that type of longevity, knowing your drop in the bucket does count, that it makes a difference.” The group prepared for the trip for eight months, learning about Appalachian culture and the pover t y many residents face, along with basic construction skills and the meaning of service to others. They stayed at a local “mega church,” along with other volunteers from churches in Washington, D.C. and North Carolina. “That’s very typical,” said Mr. Matson, who was making his first trip. “When you stay at one of these centers,

you work in a county and there are usually 50 to 100 people staying there, all going to different sites. But you eat meals together and have evening gatherings. We got to listen to a folk duo from Tennessee who played for us. We went to watch fireworks in Bristol, which was nearby.” Mr. Matson’s team worked on a wheelchair ramp for a woman whose husband had been confined to a wheelchair for two years. “She lives on a hill, with a very steep driveway. I’m 27 and I wouldn’t be able to push anybody up that hill. I don’t know how she did it,” he said. “We weren’t able to finish the project, but others will.” The annual service project Continued on Next Page

started out as a Methodist organization, but now includes groups from other denominations. Most of the volunteers come from the east coast. The idea is to get youth involved in mission work. “It’s very gratifying to know that what you’re doing is making a difference,” Mr. Matson said. “It is going to very directly change the lives of people living there.

Other venues for the events include the Arts Council of Princeton, Princeton Shopping Center, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church, Paul Robeson House, First Baptist Church, and the Hank Pannell Center on Clay Street. “It’s important that African Americans be recognized as a rock in the Princeton community,” said Shirley Satterfield, director of the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society. “We’ve been butlers, bartenders, maids, and educators. African Americans have cared for the people of Princeton through years of segregation and Jim Crow — and we have survived. We take care of everybody.” In Apr il the Pr inceton Town Council, after many hours of public hearings and debate, unanimously passed an ordinance to create the Witherspoon-Jackson Historic Preservation District. Afr ican A mer icans have been a presence in Princeton since the late 17th century. By the 1700s free colored residents, descendants of slaves, worked in labor and service positions, through the 1 and 7/12/16 1:08 PM years were most ly relegated to t he

n e i g hb or h o o d t h at w a s referred to as the Witherspoon-Jackson community. “The recognition of the history of Black people in Princeton and this historic designation are a significant par t of not only Witherspoon-Jackson community history, but also Princeton history and American history,” Ms. Satterfield added. “This is a great opportunity for all of us in Princeton to learn, grow, and be proud of our diverse background and heritage. I’m excited to have the interest of the community and to have Joint Effort partner with the Witherspoon-Jackson Historical and Cultural Society for this historic recognition and celebration of the WitherspoonJackson community.” For more information on the Joint Effort Princeton Safe Streets Program or the Salute to the WitherspoonJackson Community, call John Bailey at (720) 6290964 or Shirley Satterfield at (609) 924-2010. —Donald Gilpin

ferral at the time of a domestic violence or sexual assault crisis. Team members will be contacted by Womanspace personnel and respond to various Mercer County police headquarters to meet with victims. They will provide information and support in order to assist victims in making educated decisions that positively affect individual and family conditions. In 2015, DVVRT volunteers responded 550 times to speak with domestic violence victims, providing referral counseling and emotional support to 579 persons. In that same year, 85 persons were supported by the Sexual Assault Support Services Advocate Team (SASS). Training for the Domestic Violence Victim Response Team and Sexual Assault Response Team is scheduled to begin in early September. Team members will receive extensive specialized training on such topics as the law, sensitivity to the needs of victims and their children, and how to provide swift, safe, appropriate responses at a very critical time for families. T he S eptemb er 2016 training will take place at The College of New Jersey, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-5 p.m. Each volunteer must complete 80 hours of training to become an advocate. The training will conclude in November 2016 w ith a graduation ceremony. Womanspace will be accepting applications from prospective volunteers who are at least 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s license and available transportation, no criminal record, submit to a background check and interview, attend mandatory monthly meetings, and communicate well with others. Bilingual individuals and persons fluent in American Sign language are encouraged to participate. Contact the Domestic Violence Response Team Coordinator Heidi Mueller as soon as possible, at (609) 394-0136. Applications must be received by August 1. for further information contact Heidi Mueller of Womanspace at dvvrt@womanspace.org or Alison Daks sass@womanspace.org or call (609) 394-0136.

Mailbox Residents Can Help Bicyclists and Pedestrians By Cutting Back Shrubs, Low-Hanging Branches

To the Editor: Remember the sidewalks! While our municipality concentrates on new pedestrian street crossings and bicycle sharrows to help us all “share the road,” those of us who live next to sidewalks can also help Princeton regain its old-time friendly accommodation of pedestrians and bicyclists. In too many cases, we’ve let shrubs grow into the paving or branches hang low overhead. Even carefully tended gardens encroach on the narrow walkers’ right-of-way without regular attention. This happens in school neighborhoods and in-town areas, as well as in quiet residential cul-desacs, yet it would be hard to find a resident who wants to discourage babies in carriages, toddlers on scooters, young folks in running regalia, or friends just out for a walk together. And on busy streets, even bicyclists need to take to the sidewalks. So, let’s be sure we encourage the community feel of our town, and make way for all. It takes only a pair of shears or clippers, or instructions to your lawn service. Residents who are not able to do the required maintenance might lodge a request for help with the Complete Street Committee, which could recruit a seasonal team of volunteer trimmers.

Separation of YWCA Princeton, Princeton Family YMCA Offers Opportunity to Recognize Each as Separate Entity

To the Editor: With the advent of the separation between the yWCA Princeton and the Princeton family yMCA, both residing for more than 60 years on Paul Robeson Place in Princeton, there is a unique opportunity to recognize each as a separate entity, each with vastly different missions. officially occurring on September 1, 2016, the yW and the yM will continue to reside on Paul Robeson Place, however each will own outright its own bricks and mortar building. Programming will be separated more accordingly in alignment with each organization’s mission. The yWCA Princeton, whose mission is ”the elimination of racism and empowerment of women,” will assume the entirety of all childcare, with the projected enrollment of 150 children ages 6 months to six years. The yWCA Princeton will continue to operate its HiSET® Testing Center, the first non-profit high school equivalency testing center, developed by Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton, and the University of Iowa’s Iowa Testing Program (ITP). The yW will continue its three all-girls robotics teams coached and mentored by volunteers from Princeton University, Princeton Plasma Physics laboratory (PPPl), and SES satellite systems. The yW’s brand new NEXT GEN Board will engage a diverse group of young women, ages 21-34, in peer-relevant mission work to end racism and empower women, all while learning the responsibilities of a non-profit board, developing professional skills, building self-confidence, honing financial literacy, and becoming community leaders. The yWCA Princeton will continue its Adult Education programming, Dance programs, ESl classes, and Newcomers and friends programs. The yWCA will continue its Breast Cancer Resource Center offering a variety of programs and services that help women through the entire breast cancer journey — from diagnosis through treatment, recovery, survivorship, and even recurrence. I have been a strong supporter of the yWCA Princeton for the many decades of their shared facility with the Princeton family yMCA, and I hope you will join me in recognizing the unique individuality and extraordinary mission of the yWCA Princeton as it moves forward in the same location with its very own facility.

Mr. Wilkes, who is president of the organization Princeton Future. “It’s going to be an extension of the sidewalk, a public space that will engage pedestrians in ways they are not normally engaged on a commercial street. The focus is on art and culture, and will be specifically about things Princeton, and based around digital media — audio and video instead of, for example, paintings and the printed word.” Also involved in designing the project are Princeton artist Peter Abrams, architect Richard Chenoweth, and Rob Gorton, who does sound installation for the Metropolitan Opera. Some $30,000 has been raised toward the $100,000 goal. On Thursday, July 14, a fundraiser is being held at Mediterra, sponsored by owners DADA: That’s the acronym for Design at Dohm Alley, a multi- Raoul and Carlo Momo. “I media “sensorium” planned for the space between Starbucks saw the model. I knew Kevand Landau off of Nassau Street. This rendering shows how the in Wilkes, Peter Soderman, entry is envisioned. and Peter Abrams were in-

volved,” said Raoul Momo. “These are guys who really make things happen when they dream up a project. So we said, how can we help?” The idea “has been in our brains for quite a while, but hasn’t gotten outside into reality until this year,” Mr. Wilkes said. “The real catalyst, candidly, was that I convinced the council of Princeton Future to undertake it as a project to implement. In addition to our normal events trying to create discussions about issues, I thought it would be in our interest to put into practice some of the civic improvements we talk about.” The term the organizers are using to describe the project is “sensorium.” “It’s an obscure word,” Mr. Wilkes admitted. “What it refers to is a space to engage all of the senses — a little bit of garden, a traveling art gallery, a place to be delighted. It will be entirely pedestrian. You won’t sit down. You will walk through. Programming

will change throughout the hours of the day, weeks, and month.” Mr. Wilkes likens the alleyway to a radio station with different programs created throughout the day, week, and month. “It will have the ability to exist in the future,” he said. “We’re hoping when we take it down at Thanksgiving that we’ll be able to reassemble it next year and have it be ongoing through spring, summer and fall.” S t a n le y D oh m, ow n er of the alley, has given the group permission to use the space until Thanksgiving. “This is a privately owned space, but Mr. Dohm has let people traverse it for years,” Mr. Wilkes said. “Robert and Henry Landau and the other store tenants immediately adjacent are also supportive, which is a big help.” The Princeton Public Library and the University will assist in creating original programming. The “sensorium” will also include videos and podcasts featuring interviews and oral histories, with short films. “We have in our minds a larger project that will someday turn the midblock section of the property into a park and garden instead of a parking lot,” Mr. Wilkes said. “We see this as a first step in convincing the town and the citizens that we can make downtown more attractive and appealing to walk through than it presently is.” —Anne Levin

Horrors Then and Now: Reading the News of the Day With Michael Herrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dispatchesâ&#x20AC;? reaction,â&#x20AC;? more crudely known as shell shock. Discussing the lesson he learned in Vietnam, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that you were as responsible for everything you saw as for everything you did,â&#x20AC;? Herr admits that you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know what you were seeing until years later, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of it stayed stored in your eyes. Time and information, rock and roll, life itself, the information isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t frozen, you are.â&#x20AC;? Herr is once again most effective when he moves in for a close-up, describing a man opening fire with an M-16 on full automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;making the bodies wince and shiver.â&#x20AC;? Herr writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen anything until I saw his face. It was flushed and mottled and t w isted like he had his face skin on inside out, a patch of green that was too dark, a s t re a k of red r unning into br uise purple, a lot of sick gray white in between, he l o o ke d l i ke h eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; d h a d a heart attack out there. His eyes were rolled up half into his head, his mouth w as s pr u ng open and his ton g u e w as out, but he was smiling.â&#x20AC;? Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the soldier of whom itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorr y, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just too crazy for me â&#x20AC;Ś. Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you got to do is look in his eyes.â&#x20AC;? When Herr risks a glance, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was like looking at the floor of an ocean. He wore a gold earring and a headband torn from a piece of camouflage parachute material, and since nobody was about to tell him to get his hair cut it fell below his shoulders, covering a thick purple scar.â&#x20AC;? At this point Herr makes a significant connection: â&#x20AC;&#x153;His face was all painted up for night walking now like a bad hallucination, not like the painted faces Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d seen in San Francisco only a few weeks before, the other extreme of the same theater.â&#x20AC;? The same theater also houses the Vietnam of Apocalypse Now, which begins with Jim Morrison and the Doors on the soundtrack performing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Endâ&#x20AC;? (John Milius wrote his screenplay listening to Wagner and The Doors), and ends with

Vietnam Vietnam Vietnam, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been there. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Michael Herr (1940-2016) ll I need to do is type â&#x20AC;&#x153;nytâ&#x20AC;? on the iMac and Paul Krugman is hurrying past â&#x20AC;&#x153;the horror in Dallasâ&#x20AC;? on his way to the subject of the day. In his column headed â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Week from Hellâ&#x20AC;? Charles M. Blow is asking â&#x20AC;&#x153;soul-of-a-nation questions.â&#x20AC;? On Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s virtual front page of the Times, a detective from Queens says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is insanity. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just freaking horrendous.â&#x20AC;? The African American Dallas police chief David Brown â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannot adequately expressâ&#x20AC;? the sadness he feels. Expressing the Inexpressible A landmark among the favored tropes for people attempting to express the profoundly inexpressible is Joseph Conradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The horror! The horror!â&#x20AC;? from his short novel The Heart of Darkness. T.S. Eliot used it, along with the sentences preceding it, as the epigraph for an early draft of The Waste Land, and, for better or worse, it was the Open Sesame to John Miliusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s screenplay for Francis Ford Coppolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Apocalypse Now (1979). Crying out in â&#x20AC;&#x153;that supreme moment of complete knowledgeâ&#x20AC;? at â&#x20AC;&#x153;some image, some vision,â&#x20AC;? Marlon Brandoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colonel Kurtz cracks and breaks and Conradâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ivory trader Mr. Kurtz goes mad, literary/cinematic improvements on what the nameless detective from Queens was conveying when he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is insanity.â&#x20AC;? In Dispatches (1977), Michael Herr, who died June 23, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to quote Conrad. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a whole arsenal of analogies and paradigms for horror, coming at it head-on when he writes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;something so horrible happened in the Khe Sanh sector that even those of us who were in Hue when we heard the news of it had to relinquish our own fear and despair for a moment to acknowledge the horror and pay some tribute to it.â&#x20AC;? Herr goes on to speak of â&#x20AC;&#x153;anticipated nightmares so vile that they could take you off shuddering in your sleep.â&#x20AC;? Of the few survivors of the attack on a Special Forces camp, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was said that some of them had become insane.â&#x20AC;? There it is again: if the event you witness is sufficiently horrific, you lose your mind. But simply saying it is too easy. Herr pushes on by going eye to eye with, in this instance, a 20-year-old blonde Marine: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the eyes: because they were always either strained or blazed-out or simply blank â&#x20AC;Ś.

Avalon Princeton Request for Exemption continued from page one

continued from page one

Avalon Princeton community will include two fitness centers, a swimming pool, a resident lounge with game table and entertainment space, a pet park and spa, indoor children’s playroom, covered garage parking with enclosed walkway, bike storage and bike repair room, a community park with public green space, and a play area. The Avalon Princeton development has faced considerable controversy in the community over the past five years, with the Town Planning Board voting against the project in 2012, after which Avalon filed a law suit. Avalon then revised their building plans, and the Planning Board approved the revised proposal in 2013. AvalonBay Communities, founded in 1978 and based in Arlington, Virginia, is a real estate investment trust that acquires, develops, and manages apartment homes — with more than 280 developments currently throughout the United States. —Donald Gilpin

Mercer County officials have emailed legislators to request the exemption for Carter Road. “This is extremely disturbing about what the outcome is going to mean to Princeton,” Ms. Lempert said. “But we’re hopeful that work can resume. I think that everybody recognizes the importance of this project and the importance of staying on schedule. We could lose the whole winter because of the delay.” —Anne Levin

Two New Trustees Named To Community Foundation

The Princeton Area Community Foundation has appointed two new members to its Board of Trustees. Ana I. Berdecia and Andrew Lieu were voted onto the Board at its June 22 meeting. Their 3-year terms began immediately. Ms. Berdecia, MEd and a certified coach, of Ewing, is the senior fellow/director of the Center for the

Positive Development of Urban Children at the John S. Watson Institute for Public Policy of Thomas Edison State University. She previously served as the executive director of the Puerto Rican Community Day Care Center Inc. in Trenton. Her research has been presented at national, state, and local conferences. She serves on the Board of Professional Impact New Jersey and the New Jersey Council for Young Children. Mr. Lieu, of Hopewell, is a principal at Roundview Capital, a family office investment advisory firm in Princeton. He previously worked as a financial analyst at Citigroup. He has volunteered on the Community Foundation’s Grants and Programs Committee since 2012. He also served on the Board of Trustees of Manna Christian Fellowship at Princeton University for nine years. “We are so pleased to

welcome Ana and Andrew to the Community Foundation,” said Carol P. Herring, the Community Foundation’s Chair of the Board of Trustees. “Ana has been recognized throughout the state for her work in early childhood education and Andrew has extensive financial expertise.” “Our Trustees bring us a wealth of experience in their fields, including finance, education, the law, and nonprofit organizations,” said Jeffrey M. Vega, president and CEO of the Community Foundation. “The expertise that Ana and Andrew will contribute makes our Board stronger and allows us to make even more progress with our newly adopted strategic plan.” Under that new strategic plan, the Community Foundation will focus its own grant making on the issue of child poverty, and it will continue to support generous donors, helping them make meaningful gifts to the causes that are important to them.

Mr. Breuel’s wife Shirley said of his devotion to the organization, “While driving around the area, Brian would point out properties that D&R Greenway had preserved. He loved being involved with the organization and believed deeply in its work.”

“Art as Activism: Climate Change” at D&R Greenway

ART COMMEMORATES WITHERSPOON JACKSON RESIDENTS: Princeton Chronicles, a group of PHS artists and researchers, honors notable Princetonians from the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood through art. Until July 30, portraits of these individuals are on display at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts at 102 Witherspoon Street.

PHS Students Create Princeton Chronicles

Princeton Chronicles, a group composed of Princeton High School students, creates artwork to commemorate notable Princetonians from the Witherspoon-Jackson (W-J) neighborhood. Until July 30, the students wil have a series of murals on display at the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts at 102 Witherspoon Street. P r i n c e to n C h r o n i c l e s’ murals are in the format of individual portraits with accompanying text relating to a personal story. The portrait murals were painted in a studio on parachute cloth and installed in designated locations throughout the W-J neighborhood. Passersby have easy access to information regarding these significant Princetonians and

their lives. The Chronicles use local historian Shirley Satterfield, and the historical archives at the Princeton Public Library, Princeton University’s Libraries, and the Princeton Historical Society to collect information on their subjects. The student artists are guided by professional artist Dressler Smith from their initial concept to the final portraits, and are supported by the Arts Council of Princeton, Art Pride NJ, and the Princeton High School art faculty. Through its blog and social media sites, Princeton Chronicles creates an online platform that primarily serves to keep the public updated on the progress of the murals project. In addition, the blog hosts an archive of the Princetonians featured

“Art as Activism: Climate Change” is on view at D&R Greenway Land Trust’s Johnson Education Center, One Preservation Place, through August 26. Art works document nature’s threatened beauty and show the influence of artists on the climate change discussion in the Anthropocene era. An artists’ reception will take place Friday, July 15, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. “The exhibition demonstrates the powerful role that artists have in the climate change movement,” says D&R Greenway Curator Diana Moore. “Art that is both creative and data-driven inspires deep contemplation about global warming in a way that other types of activism cannot.” “The mission of the Marie L. Matthews Art Gallery at D &R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center is to inspire a conservation ethic through the visual celebration

of nature,” says D&R Greenway pre sident and CEO Linda Mead. “We want this exhibit to focus attention on the increasing urgency of effectively countering catastrophic climate change, by evoking nature’s powerful and vulnerable beauty. By provoking thought about this issue of our time, we aim to drive people to action and highlight ways we can all be stewards of the planet. Individual acts and new connections are essential in order to turn the tide, climate-wise, in the 21st century.” Exhibiting artists include Joanie Gagnon San Chirico, Susan Hoenig, Bill Hoo, Joy Kreves, Nancy Lynn Toolan, and Tricia Zimic. Susan Hoenig’s “The Walrus and the Arctic Circle” sets the tone for the exhibition. When sea ice recedes, walruses must either continue to haul out on the sea ice with little access to food, or abandon sea ice for coastal areas where they can rest on land. Her “Sleeping on Ice” features the Weddell Seal, whose continued existence relies upon ice around Antarctica and nearby islands. The ice sheet Antarctic, along with the surrounding sea ice

reflects about 85 percent of the sun’s energy. Melting ice water affects deep-sea circulation, which intensively alters climate. Hoenig’s marine animals can be viewed as metaphors for the human condition, as warming air and seas increasingly diminishes essential habitat. Throughout her career, the work of Tricia Zimic has been particularly attuned to this exhibit’s theme: “My art is a narrative statement of the human impact upon the earth’s surface,” says Zimic. She is known for presenting wild animals among arresting found objects, especially in urban areas. In recent months, Zimic has particularly included women among the endangered species she celebrates. In various media, Zimic honors “that which we have with us today, but may lose tomorrow,” as uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions increasingly alter every aspect of human life.

Center for Contemporary Art’s Non-Juried Exhibition

The Center for Contemporary Art has its annual Members’ Non-Juried Exhibition on display now through September 3, 2016. This exhibit is a yearly opportunity for the center’s members to share artwork in any media. This year, 127 members participated, submitting works in painting, pencil, charcoal, pastel, photography, mixed media, sculpture, and ceramics. While the majority of the entries are paintings, the variety of sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media continues to increase, showcasing the diverse community of artists at the center. New Jersey ar tist Serena Bocchino judged the members’ exhibition entries and awarded eight prizes. T he “Sally Bush Memo rial Award” first prize” was given to Oscar Beck (West Milford), Awards of Excellence were given to Dan McCor mack ( New York ) and Thomas Martin ( Edison), and Honorable Mentions were awarded to Lori Goldberg (Bedminster), Rita Koch (Flemington), Tatiana Luts (Bridgewater), Naomi Nierenberg (Somerset) and Michael Zambelli (Basking Ridge). In a statement Bocchino told artists, “It is an honor and a delight to judge this years’ Members’ Exhibition. It is not an easy task to award some artists and not others, so do not dismay if you were not chosen. So many artists, including myself, have not been chosen for exhibitions and awards — however this is certainly not why we make art. So keep working, developing and challenging yourselves.

“ADAM AND EVE”: Artist Oscar Beck of West Milford was awarded the first place prize for the “Sally Bush Memorial Award” in The Center for Contemporary Art’s 2016 Members’ Non-Juried Exhibition. This year, 127 members participated in the mixed media show. And enjoy the creative process.” The Center for Contemporary Art is located at 2020 Burnt Mills Road in Bedminster.

Chimera Productions Returns To Arts Council’s Stage

BLUE CURTAIN RETURNS WITH AN EVENING OF WORLD MUSIC TO HEAT UP THE SUMMER NIGHT: Celebrating 12 years of bringing world-class musicians from around the globe to Princeton for FREE summer concerts, Blue Curtain returns to Community Park North Amphitheater in Pettoranello Gardens on Saturday, July 16 starting at 7 p.m. with Latin jazz legend Papo Vázquez, Mighty Pirates Troubadours and Sofia Rei, who has been called “one of the best Argentine singers ever.”

Free Blue Curtain Concert Joel Mateo (drums), Carlos At Pettoranello Gardens Maldonado (percussion) and

Featuring Caribbean and South American sounds, Blue Curtain welcomes Papo Vá zqu ez Might y P irate s Troubadours and Sofia Rei to Pettoranello Gardens on Saturday, July 16 at 7 p.m. The concert is free. “The stage is set once again to present world class, culturally diverse and original musical performances with an evening of Caribbean and South American sounds,” says Stephen Allen, co -fou nder of Blue Curtain. “Princeton’s beautiful Pettoranello Gardens is a powerful setting for a transformative musical experience on a warm summer evening.” NEA Master and Grammy® Award nominee, Papo Vázquez is a jazz trombonist with his own style, arranger, composer, and he is one of the key figures of Latin music. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Papo grew up in a Puerto Rican-influenced environment in Philadelphia and in Puerto Rico. While still a teenager, he moved to New York City, performing in groups such as Conjunto Libre, in the band of Héctor Lavoe, Celia Cruz, Eddie Palmieri and Willie Colón. Joining Papo Vazquez will be Willie Williams (saxophone), Rick Germanson (piano), Ariel Roles (bass),

Gao Lugo (percussion). Originally from Buenos Aires, Sofia Rei’s music is grounded in traditional South American rhythms such as chacarera, zamba and vidala from Argentina, Afro-Peruvian festejo and lando, Afro-Uruguayan candombe, Colombian cumbia and bullerengue and other genres that merge involving jazz harmonies, electronic sounds and rich improvisations. Singing in Spanish, English or Portuguese, Sofia’s voice brings more than the depth and fullness of a riveting voice, tying together diverse influences in a program full of rhythmic complexity, and a melodic purity that haunts even as it uplifts. Her ensemble — J.C. Maillard (guitar), Josh Deutsch (trumpet), Pablo Menares (acoustic bass), and Franco Pinna (drums and percussion) — produces a range of textures as diverse as the cultural roots of its members, an international cast that includes some of the most exciting young talent from North and South America. Concert-goers are encouraged to come early and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting of Pettoranello Gardens, Communit y Park Nor t h, Princeton (Route 206 and Mountain Avenue).

Princeton Ballet School Names New School Director

American Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School have announced that, after an international search, Pamela Levy has been selected as the school’s director. Ms. Levy will be the fourth director in its 62-year history. According to Chuck Metcalf, chair of the organization’s Board of Trustees, “I am very pleased to extend a warm welcome to Pamela Levy on behalf of the Board and the entire school. Princeton Ballet School is at the forefront of ballet schools nationally and having a world-class leader is imperative to maintaining continuity and teaching the next generation of students.” “Pamela Levy is unequivocally the right person to serve as the next director of Princeton Ballet School,” said Vanessa Logan, executive director of American

Repertory Ballet and Princeton Ballet School. “From her initial interaction with the school as a student, and continuing through her education at Rutgers University where she earned a BFA and at New York University earning an MA, and on to her teaching roles at American Ballet Theatre and Mason Gross School of the Arts, Pamela’s experience and immersion in the dance world is unsurpassed.” Ms. Levy began her dance career at Princeton Ballet School, attending classes from 1978 through 1987. Her course work took her through Advanced Ballet Training, she was a member of Princeton Ballet II (now the American Repertory Ballet Workshop), and studied under school founder Audrée Estey, Dermont Burke, Judith Leviton, Alexei Yudenich, and others. “T he P r inceton B allet School is where I received an excellent dance education, and where the strong foundation was laid for my career as a professional dancer and teacher,” says Levy. “It is an honor to return to PBS as director and carry on the legacy created by Audrée Estey. Under Mary Pat Robertson’s tenure, the school was brought into the national spotlight, as she cultivated an outstanding faculty and instituted exceptional training programs. I am passionate about carrying forward the mission of the school to open the doors of dance to all who wish to study as well as continuing to build the outstanding international reputation of PBS as a training ground for professional dancers.”

“I’m am delighted to welcome Ms. Levy to our organization,” says Douglas Martin, American Repertory Ballet’s artistic director. “She brings a tremendous wealth of dance knowledge and curriculum expertise to Princeton Ballet School as well as an intimate understanding of our organization, its history and values. She is a world class teacher and artist and we are all excited to work with and support her in her new role as director of Princeton Ballet School.” Ms. Levy continued her st udies at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, earning a BFA in dance performance. She was a Van Pelt Scholar and a grant recipient in the Grant Program to Advance Our Common Purposes. She studied under Don Redlich, Laura Glenn, Sherry Alban, Pat Mayer, and others. Cont inuing her higher education, Ms. Levy graduated from New York University with a Master’s Degree in Dance Education (American Ballet Theatre pedagogy Track). H e r c u r r e n t te a c h i n g positions include roles at Princeton University, Mason Gross School of the Arts and American Ballet Theatre.

The Legend of Tarzan

Alexander Skarsgard Stars as the Legendary King of the Jungle

infant. The baby was found and raised in the wild by apes and he learned to speak the language of all the beasts in the jungle. Moreover, as the “Lord of the Jungle,” he had dominion over the animal kingdom and also over cannibalistic tribes that were eager to rape white women and boil missionaries in a big pot. That insensitive portrayal of Africans as evil and uncivilized eventually became controversial in more enlightened times and Tarzan subsequently declined in popularity. Now however, he’s been brought back to the big screen. Directed by David Yates (Harry Potter 5, 6, 7 and 8) The Legend of Tarzan portrays a more politically correct version of the Lord of the Jungle. Set in 1884, the film stars Alexander Skarsgard in the title role and Samuel L. Jackson as his sophisticated sidekick, Dr. George Washington Williams. The American doctor was shoehorned into the story in order to offset the images of the indigenous black tribes. At the point of departure, we find Tarzan and wife Jane (Margot Robbie) living in London as Lord and Lady Greystoke, and it has apparently been a long time since Tarzan lived in Africa. When invited by Parliament to serve as a trade emissary, Lord Greystoke leaps at the chance to return to the Congo. What Tarzan doesn’t know is that he is a pawn in a plot masterminded by Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), a diabolical villain who is dealing in blood diamonds. Upon arriving, it doesn’t take long for Tarzan to revert from a proper English gentleman to the feral vine swinger who can summon a thundering herd of elephants with his signature call. Ver y Good (HHH). Rated PG -13 for action, violence, sensuality, and I’VE BEEN DUPED: Lord Greystoke, aka Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgard), realizes that crude dialogue.

Local Legend Celestin Leaving PU Women’s Soccer, Heading to Boston for Coaching Job at Northeastern

or generations of players and coaches, Ron Celestin has been the “mayor” of soccer in the Princeton community. Moving to Princeton from his native Haiti as a teenager in the 1970s, Celestin starred for the Princeton High boys’ soccer team, helping the Little Tigers to CVC titles in 1978 and 1979 and earning All-County and All-State honors in the process. After starring at West Virginia Wesleyan where he helped the Bobcats win the 1984 NAIA national title, Celestin returned to Princeton to start a career as a teacher and coach. He became a beloved health and physical education teacher at the Riverside Elementary School and took the helm of the PHS boys’ soccer team. He guided the Little Tigers to a state title in 1995 and then took his coaching acumen across town to serve as an assistant coach for the Princeton University women’s team. In addition, he coached a number of girls’ travel teams and was instrumental in the founding of the N.J. Wildcats women’s program. He helped guide the Princeton women’s team to the NCAA Final 4 in 2004. Along the way, his contributions have been recognized with a slew of honors, including being selected as an “Unsung Hero” by the Princeton Public Library, an award honoring members of

Princeton’s African-American community “who in their own way have contributed vastly to the overall development and fiber of Princeton and the surrounding area through their profession, community service activities, talent or their everyday lives.” He was inducted into the PHS Athletics Hall of Fame in 2007 and the Mercer County Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012. Now Celestin will be putting his stamp on another soccer community as he recently took a job as the associate head coach of the Northeastern University women’s program in Boston. Considering his deep ties to Princeton, making the move to New England wasn’t easy for Celestin. “It is probably the hardest decision to leave the University and the community overall,” said Celestin, 55, who still speaks with a West Indian lilt in his voice. “This is where I grew up. I moved to Princeton when I was 14 years old, so I have been here from 1974 to 2016. It is hard for me to be here 42 years and get up and leave. I love Princeton and Princeton is always going to be with me. It has been my home for a long time and my children (Chantal and Ciara) grew up here. I leave with mixed emotions.” During his tenure with the Tiger women’s program, Ce-

lestin formed an emotional connection with former head coach Julie Shackford, who guided the program from 1995-2014 and originally brought him to the staff. “We balanced dynamics and my personality with her personality,” said Celestin, who has a special partnership at home with his wife, Annette, crediting her with providing support in all that he has accomplished. “With that said, I think we shared the same passion for the game and with the knowledge we brought together, we were able to provide the best soccer environment we could have for our players.” As a result of that positive environment, Celestin always felt comfortable providing his input to Shackford and the players. “What I appreciated was that I was given the latitude to bring about whatever I felt was necessary for the team at that given moment,” said Celestin. “I am an observer at first and I try to bring whatever I could to the team. I never felt like I was an assistant coach. Obviously, it goes without saying who was in charge but I felt like a cocoach. I felt I could stick to my strengths and whatever I was able to do to make the program better, that is what I did.” Looking back on his tenure, Celestin views 1999 as

a breakthrough season. “The year that we first got to the tournament as a staff in 1999 was special,” said Celestin, who helped the Tigers win seven of its alltime eight Ivy League titles, make nine of its all-time 11 NCAA tournament appearances, earn seven of its eight all-time NCAA tournament wins, including the run to the 2004 NCAA College Cup semifinals. “It was what really got us going, the program really needed that. From 1995-98, we didn’t go to the NCAA and then the following 4-5 years, we were one of the most powerful teams in the league. That year was key and the rest is history.” The Tigers certainly made history in 2004, producing a spectacular 19-3 campaign and becoming the only Ivy women’s soccer team to ever make the national semifinals. “We evolved as a team that year; we were evolving in the program,” recalled Celestin. “I think that team from our first game on, we had the feeling that this could be a special year. But what they did, they didn’t just believe, they worked for it. They put their stamp on each and every game. To me, that was the important thing.” When Shackford stepped down after the 2014 season, Celestin remained on the staff after Sean Driscoll took the helm of the program. “I have never had an ego issue, I always check my ego at the door; that is one of

the quotes that we use in the program,” said Celestin, who helped guide the Tigers to a 14-4-1 record last fall as the team won the Ivy crown and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tourney. “With a new staff coming in I thought it was important for me to stay to support Sean, Kelly (Boudreau), and Mike (Poller). Continuity was important and I thought that was best for the program. I didn’t think about it twice when Sean wanted to keep me on board.” For Celestin, going to the Northeastern program came down, in part, to the chance to work with its new head coach, Ashley Phillips. “For me, it was an opportunity to do something different after 21 years at Princeton, it is not that I was feeling uncomfortable,” said Celestin. “It is a great place to be, it is a great university. My younger daughter is there. Speaking with Ashley, she made me feel so comfortable and welcome. It was a chance to come there and help take the program to whatever level we can take the team.” Celestin is confident he can establish the same working relationship with Phillips that he enjoyed with Shackford. “It will be a lot more administrative and recruiting responsibility than what I had at Princeton,” said Celestin. “My hope is that I will be able to do what I did here

PU Track Alum Cabral Makes U.S. Olympic Team

Former Princeton University track standout Donn Cabral ’13 is heading to the 2016 Summer Olympics as he made the U.S. Olympic Team in the men’s steeplechase. Cabral placed third in the final last Friday to book his place on the squad, clocking a time of 8:26.37 with Evan Jager (8:22.48) taking first and Hillary Bor (8:24.10) coming in second. Cabral had to come from fifth to third on the last lap of the 3,000-meter event to earn the third and final qualifying spot. It is Cabral’s second trip to the Olympics as he competed in the 2012 London Summer Games, taking 8th in the steeplechase. On Su nday, Pr inceton men’s track assistant distance coach Robby Andrews took second in the 1,500 to earn his first trip to the Olympics. Matt Centrowitz won the race with a trial record of 3:34.09, followed by Andrews at 3:34.88. Last Thursday, two former Princeton track alums fell short of their Olympic dreams as Ashley Higginson ’11 took ninth in the women’s steeplechase and Imani Oliver ’14 was fourth in the women’s triple jump. ———

Enjoying Big Freshman Season for Haverford Softball, Former Hun Standout Blake Helps Fords Make History When Julia Blake was in middle school, she became fascinated with college softball. “I started watching the college world series every year as a seventh and eighth grader and started dreaming of playing on teams like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Florida,” said Blake. “Once I was getting into travel ball it became a dream of mine to play in college.” Starting as the shortstop on the Hun School softball team from day one in her freshman season during the spring of 2012, Blake enjoyed a superb career for the Raiders, earning first-team All-Prep A honors in three of her four seasons with the program. As a result of her success, Blake ended up achieving her dream of playing college ball, committing to attend Haverford College and play for its softball program. While such New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) schools as Williams and Middlebury were in the recruiting mix, Blake’s focus changed once she visited Haverford in suburban Philadelphia. “It essentially all came together, they say once you step on a campus, you know, you get that feeling when it is the right place,” said Blake, who also starred for the Finch’s Aces travel softball program out of Diamond Nation in Flemington during her high school career. “I definitely got that feel-

ing at Haverford. I had such an incredible experience at Hun. It really felt similar to Hun, you could see that there was a community. The honor code is a big deal at Haverford and that was big deal at Hun so I saw that connection. I think it was definitely important for me. It reminded me of a place that I already loved.” Blake loved taking the field for the first time during Haverford’s fall ball training, which culminated with practice games against Arcadia University and Swarthmore College. “It was absolutely surreal; even though it is a small DIII school, the feeling I got stepping out on the field; I could just feel this energy in my body the whole time,” recalled the 5’6 second baseman Blake. “I had dreamed of playing college softball and to have it come true; I was a little nervous. The first out I made was a shallow fly ball behind first base. I remember I ran over and caught it and when the ball hit my glove I felt all of this relief. It was even more magical because then I was more relaxed, just playing for fun.” The Fords headed south to Florida to start the season and struggled in the early going, losing their first six games. “Our coach (Erin Brooks) scheduled some really challenging games for us and we hung in with the teams,” said Blake.

“It was really great practice and it really built a lot of character on the team. Our coach purposely did that because she wanted us to be challenged so that we could come back here and be really successful in the Centennial League.” Once back north, Haverford started gathering momentum, taking fourth in Centennial play to earn the last spot in the league tournament. In the double-elimination tourney, the Fords dropped their first game, losing 3-2 to top-seeded and host Washington. Bouncing back from that loss, Haverford won four straight games, including a doubleheader sweep of Washington to win the title and earn a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament. “We go into the championship and we have to beat them twice; it is extremely difficult to beat a team twice on any given day,” said Blake. “We had 11 players and three pitchers, we played teams who have 17, 18 players. We are a team where almost everyone is playing every second so everyone had to contribute. The first game was nine innings; it was crazy. A fellow freshman of mine hit the walk off hit, it was awesome. We ended up winning the second game too and it was incredible. I think our pitching staff really came alive at the end of the season; they were absolutely wonderful. We had three pitchers who threw dif-

ferently in their own way.” At the NCA A Regional hosted by Virginia Wesleyan, Haverford kept rolling, topping No. 2 Salisbury 1-0 and Saint Vincent 1-0 to get itself one win from advancing to the Super Regional. In order to take that step, Haverford had to win one of two games against Salisbury on the final day of the double-elimination competition. Haverford lost the first game 6-1 but then pulled out a 7-6 nail-biter to earn its spot in the top 16 of the tourney. “We were in the opposite position of where we were in the conference, so whereas we had to beat Washington twice, Salisbury had to beat us twice,” said Blake, who was named to the Regional All-Tournament Team. “We were telling ourselves we know that Salisbury can do it because we did it last weekend. We have to play tough. We ended up losing that first game. In the second game in the fifth inning it was 7-2 and they came back a little in the seventh inning but we ended up winning by one. It was indescribable. We all fought hard; everyone had nagging injuries. It was amazing how we came together and everyone contributed.” Playing at No. 11 Messiah in the Super Regional, Blake came within one win of achieving her dream of playing in a College World Series as Haverford fell 3-1 in the decisive third game of the best-of-three competition. “You go into the game and it was if we win this game we are going to the World Series,” said Blake. “It is funny, it was probably one of the first times where it sunk in on us where we actually were. We have never made it past regionals so we made history this season. It was really exciting.” While Haverford fell short of getting to the final eight, it was an exciting season for Blake as she batted .331 and was named as an honorable mention All-Centennial Conference selection. “I think even as a freshman on a team of 11, you know you are going to have to contribute,” said Blake, who started all 50 games

for the Fords, contributing 51 hits with team-highs in runs (33) and doubles (10) as the squad posted a final record of 28-22. “We really developed as a team over the season and I felt supported by all of my team. Emerging not only as a player but as a leader was really important for me; everyone was so supportive on the team that anyone could be a leader at any points. It is really big for me, feeling like I was an important asset to the team and I could really inspire my teammates like they inspired me.” Off the field, Blake was inspired by Haverford’s range of activities. “I have gotten involved in so many different things which is so great,” said Blake. “I was on student council this year, I was the freshman representative. Next year, I am going to be the vice president of the student council. I work on a lot of panels with a lot of different political groups because I am majoring in political science. That is the thing I love about Haverford, you can get involved

in so much. That is the thing about college, you are supposed to dip your toes in a lot of different things and I have really gotten to do that at Haverford.” Having enjoyed great success on the diamond this spring, Blake is looking forward to helping Haverford take the next step. “The other freshmen on the team are my best friends and we were reflecting on the season and we have big goals for next season now,” said Blake, who is coaching and training with the Finch’s Aces this summer as she prepares for her sophomore campaign. “We know what it feels like to be one game away from the World Series; it has totally renewed our love for softball and for our team. Haverford is a place where you can find your own identity. You are not a sophomore or a junior, you are a student on the softball team. My experience with softball is a refection of what Haverford stands for because it was such an amazing opportunity.” —Bill Alden

In his sophomore season with the Princeton Day School baseball team, Cole McManimon produced a mound gem against rival Pennington School. The towering red-headed righty struck out 12, helping the Panthers to a 5-0 win in the 2013 contest. W hile the shutout v ictory was a highlight of that spring, it turned out to have longer range implications for McManimon. “There was a senior on the team going to Lehigh, Connor Donovan, and his head coach at Pennington (Mike Coryell) had played at Lehigh back in the 1980s,” said McManimon. “R ight af ter I pitched against them, the Pennington coach reached out to the coach over at Lehigh (Sean Leary).” While that performance put McManimon on Lehigh’s radar as the school reached out to him, his mound exploits also drew interest from Lafayette, St. Joseph’s, and Villanova, among others. But in the final analysis, that initial connection with Lehigh proved decisive. “Ultimately Lehigh was where I wanted to be,” said McManimon. “I think the fact that they stuck with me, they made me feel like they really wanted me there. They

made me feel welcome. I really liked the feel of the campus and the engineering program there was also a huge factor in my decision.” The 6’ 7 McManimon got introduced to the intensity of college baseball by Lehigh’s fall program, which included daily practices from September 1 through mid-October with games on the weekends. “My fall season went pretty well,” said McManimon, noting that he had to hone his time management skills as he balanced his engineering studies with baseball. “I had a lot of success in the fall and that led me to be able to play as much as I did in the spring time.” McManimon’s first outing of the spring came at Norfolk State in late February. “I was more excited to be in the game than nervous,” said McManimon, who struck out five in 3 2/3 innings of work in his college debut. “I felt comfortable, we are all out there for a reason. I immediately got my first strikeout. I did really well through two innings and then I gave up two home runs in the next inning so that was a nice welcome to college baseball.” In early March, McManimon got his first start and it had extra significance

for him as it came against Villanova, whose roster included former PDS teammate and close friend J.P. Radvany. “When I got the e-mail earlier that week that I was starting that game, I was so excited,” said McManimon, who went 2 1/3 innings in the game with three strikeouts and one earned run. “I immediately told James that you better be in the lineup buddy. He was the Designated Hitter and I got to pitch against him and I struck him out. He stepped in the box and I smiled and he nodded at me. We went right from there and it was all business. I ended up winning the battle on three pitches that day.” A major highlight this spring for McManimon came when he struck out seven in 5 1/3 innings against Maryland Eastern Shore in late April. “I had my high in strikeouts; I went to the sixth inning and I gave up two hits and I got pulled,” said McManimon. “I was getting back in the groove in that game. I went through a few tougher relief appearances before that. I went out there and did pretty much what I wanted to do. I gave up one earned run that day.” Ending the spring with 30 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings and a 6.41 ERA in 11 appearances with four starts, McManimon learned some valuable lessons in his debut year.

After Solid Debut Campaign for Lehigh Baseball, PDS Alum McManimon Honing His Mound Skills

HIGH VELOCITY: Cole McManimon fires a pitch this spring during his freshman season with the Lehigh University baseball team. Former Princeton Day School standout McManimon went 0-0 this spring with 30 strikeouts in 26 2/3 innings and a 6.41 ERA in 11 appearances with four starts. (Photo Courtesy of Lehigh Sports Communications) “From a pitching standpoint, I have to work on keeping the ball lower,” said McManimon, who is doing sessions with a local trainer and pitching for the Trenton Generals of the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League this summer to get ready for his sophomore campaign with the Mountain Hawks. “That was one thing that hurt me in college, the higher fastballs. In high school I was able to get outs on those but

in college, they hit them.” With Lehigh going 25-29 overall and 9-10 in Patriot League play, McManimon believes the Mountain Hawks can take things to a higher level next season. “I am a year older and I have a year under my belt,” said McManimon. “I am excited to go back out and play in the fall and play with my family and get prepared for a spring where we can hopefully reach our goal of

winning the Patriot League. Two years ago Lehigh won the Patriot League so our goal this year was to win it again but we didn’t get out of the first round of the Patriot League playoffs. This year we hope to get back to the championship series and win that. I think we can do it. We have a lot of talent coming back and a lot of good freshmen coming in.” —Bill Alden

Princeton 10s Displayed Plenty of Firepower, Battling to the End at District 12 Competition After rolling to an 11-7 win over Millstone-Roosevelt in its opening game of the District 12 tournament play, the Princeton Little League ( PLL) 10-year-old all-star squad ran into some adversity when it faced Lawrence last Thursday evening. PLL found itself trailing 8-2 heading into the bottom of the fourth inning. But rather than hang ing their heads, the team started chipping away at the deficit. “We dug ourselves into a little bit of hole with some great hitting by Lawrence and some mistakes by us,” said PLL head coach Larry Granozio. “They didn’t get down on themselves, they stayed positive.” Turning the six-inning contest into a 2-hour, 20-minute marathon, PLL scored three runs in the fifth to cut the

lead to 11-6 and then added four more runs in the bottom of the next inning but its rally fell short in a 13-10 defeat. True to form, the PLL players never lost faith in themselves. “The kids had the rally caps on,” noted a smiling Granozio, reflecting on the last two innings of the contest. “We weren’t allowed to change our spaces in the dugout. We were trying hard, we were fighting back.” PLL got some bigs hits from Nico Vitaro, Alex Winters, A.J. Surace, Dylan Gregson, and Alex Winters in piling up seven runs over the last two innings. “We have a lot of good balance in the lineup, it is hard to pick who plays and who doesn’t and when to hit them and when not to hit them,” added Granozio.

“We are trying to mix it up as best we can but under the rules of Districts, only nine are hitting. We could have 13 hitting and be happy. It is a challenge to balance them all from top to bottom. All of them are excited to be up there and all of them can do damage at the plate.” While PLL did some more damage at the plate on Saturday it came up short in falling 19-6 to Robbinsville to get eliminated from the competition. “I think when we have six innings we can get runs,” said Granozio. “Sometimes it takes us a full six and sometimes we get them earlier than that. The team is very positive. There is a lot of energy and a lot of laughs.” —Bill Alden

Now they have to come out to me.” In the second half, King’s came back with an 18 -9 run to forge ahead 35-34 and Clarke had to regroup, utilizing some aggressive defense to pull out a 51-46 win. “We just had to play our game and that got us out on the fast breaks with steals,” said Black. “T hat is when we are at our best, having active hands on our 2-3 zone and getting loose balls.” Black also impacted the game as a playmaker, setting up former PHS teammate Lior Levy along with Hopewell Valley alums Max Alton and Bailey Schrader. “This team looks for me to score but also to be the guy on the floor,” said Black, who ended the evening with a season-high 23 points. “I am not going to hit every game. If I am not hitting I have to have confidence in my guys to pass it. They made me look good, they were making 3s.” In Black’s view, the win over King’s was a good confidence builder for Clarke. “This is a big one, we lost a couple of close ones,” said Black, who scored 17 points as Clarke defeated Dr. Palmer 69-38 last Friday to improve to 4-4. “We lost to TCNJ (Majeski Foundation), we let that slip, and we lost a close

ON THE BALL: Davon Black passes the ball in action last year in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League. Former Princeton High star Black has helped Clarke Insurance catch fire in recent summer hoops action. Last Wednesday, Black scored 23 points as Clarke topped King’s Pizzarama 51-46. Two nights later, Black tallied 17 points as Clarke defeated Dr. Palmer 69-38 to improve to 4-4. In action last Monday evening, Majeski Foundation defeated King’s Pizzarama 78-57 while Dr. Palmer edged Ivy Inn 46-44 and Jesse Krasna Hoops Training posted a 72-49 win over Rogue’s Gallery. Krasna is currently in first place with an 8-1 record with Majeski next at 7-1. The regular season concludes on July 13 with the playoffs beginning on July 18, featuring two quarterfinal contests at the Community Park courts. (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

one to Ivy Inn, we let that slip. Those are two of the top dogs. This is the third place team and it feels good to finally get over that hump and finally win a big game. We played so well throughout the game.” With the league quarterfinals slated for July 18 and 21, Black believes that

Clarke could emerge as a top dog in the playoffs. “We just got to play together; in the first couple of games, we didn’t have the chemistry,” said Black. “I feel like we are getting it going and that is right when we want to get it going, for the playoffs. It is a new record in the playoffs, with everyone starting at 0-0.” —Bill Alden

Hugh F. Cline

Hugh F. “Tony” Cline passed away peacefully on July 4, 2016 surrounded by family. Tony was born on March 6, 1935 in Yeadon, Pa. to Jane Hunter Cline and Hugh “Bud” Cline. He was enrolled in Philadelphia’s Girard College in 1943 by his widowed mother where he excelled academically and athletically. He was awarded an athletic scholarship in gymnastics to Pennsylvania State University in 1952 and became captain of the team, winning the National Championship in 1955. He later earned a master’s degree in sociology at the University of Lund in Sweden and a PhD from Harvard University. Tony served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force from 1956 to 1959. During this time, he married his college sweetheart Patricia Dickinson, who died in 1991. Together, they raised a family as they moved from Sweden to Boston, then to Santa Barbara Calif. before settling in Princeton in the late 1960s. His yellow Jeep became an iconic fixture at Princeton High School in the 1970’s, and his ski trips were the winter highlight for his kids and many of their friends. E d u c at i o n a n d f a m i l y were two constant passions and dedications in Tony’s life. His educational career started as a professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara before joining Russell Sage Foundation in New York City on staff and then as president. He continued his career at Educational Testing Services (ETS) as executive director, division of applied measurement research, retiring in 1997. In his retirement he returned to education as an adjunct professor at Teacher’s College, Columbia University and wrote Information Communication Technology and Social Transformation, a book exploring the

transformation computers and information technology had on culture, a topic that had been so much a part of his research at ETS. Outside of work, he loved how education, as both a learner and an educator, kept life vibrant. He had a particular passion for improving educational programs in underprivileged communities. This was reflected by his involvement on the Board of Academic Affairs at Girard College and his work with the Trenton Literacy Program. People who knew him found him to be a caring listener with a genuine and inspiring interest in their lives, while always being ready to share what he had learned. In 1996, Tony married long - t i m e f r i e n d H i lar y Hays. They shared a full and enriching life. They enjoyed time with family and close friends. Whether in Princeton, Cape Cod, or traveling (often to Europe and most recently, Myanmar), he left his mark on people with his interest, curiosity, and enthusiasm. He regularly engaged in activities that varied from spinning classes and multiday charity bike rides with people generations younger than he, to involvement with groups such as Community Without Walls. Regardless of the nature of the gathering or setting, Tony was known as a person of profound integrity, warmth, compassion, and a great sense of humor. In addition to his wife, Tony is survived by his children, Lynn Cline and husband Kyle Langan of Santa Fe and Hugh Cline of Los Angeles; his brother Peter Capolino and wife, Fran Deitrich of Philadelphia; his stepchildren, Bob Ogilvie of Princeton, Bill Ogilvie and partner Alice Johnson of Austin, Tex.; Brad Ogilvie and partner Walter Cortes of Washington, D.C.; Beth Ogilvie Freda and husband Mark Freda of Princeton; and his step-grandchildren Rebecca Freda and Alex Freda of Princeton. C ont r ibut ion s m ay b e made in his name to the Girard College Foundation at 2101 S. College Avenue ( Office of Advancement), Philadelphia, PA 19121, or to an educational program that promotes academic advancement for underprivileged children in your community. A memorial service will be held October 29, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Princeton University Chapel followed by a reception.

REFINANCE NOW FOR HISTORICALLY LOW RATES When mortgage rates fell to historic lows a few years ago, many people flocked to their lenders to refinance their loans at much more favorable rates. But not everyone was able to lock in those amazing rates, and today there's a feeling they may have missed the boat. Well guess what? That's not true! Although rates may be slightly higher than they were a couple of years ago, they still remain very near those all-time historic lows, which means you still have the chance to lock in a low rate if you missed your chance the first time around. Today, those with excellent credit can find rates at about 3 percent or less for 15-year mortgages and a little more for 30-year loans with fixed rates. Adjustable-rate mortgage rates can be even lower. Jumbo mortgages have similar low rates, which means everyone who owns a home can benefit. Plus, even those with less-than-perfect credit can still find amazing savings, depending on the type of loan they choose. If you've been thinking about refinancing, don't delay. There's no guarantee rates will remain this low, and locking in a low rate now could save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in the future.
