Charter School expansion approved By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton Charter School can expand its enrollment by 76 more pupils through a two-year-phased in period, acting-state Education Commissioner Kimberley Harrington ruled in a decision announced Wednesday. “The commissioner should be commended for taking a thoughtful and deliberate approach to our application, judiciously considering both public sentiment and the

actual merits of the request,” said Paul Josephson, chairman of the Charter School Board of Trustees, in a statement. The decision will allow the school to have a weighted lottery admission to attract more low-income students. The expansion proposal was opposed by Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane and the Board of Education, which had argued the expansion would mean an extra $1.16 million more a year it would have to provide the

348 student Charter School, on top of the roughly $5 million that comes from local tax dollars. In a statement, Cochrane called the commissioner’s decision “deeply disappointing.” He said he and the school board are considering whether to appeal. “Our goal will always be to do what is in the best interest of our students and of the broader Princeton community,” he said. “This expansion and this decision is outrageous,” said school board president Patrick Sullivan

by phone Thursday. “It is vandalism. We will fight it with every means at our disposal.” The expansion proposal touched off an intense debate in Princeton, a town with an uneasy relationship with the Charter School. The school, founded in 1997, has been a flashpoint for controversy for years. Critics resent its very existence, with local tax dollars that otherwise could be for district schools going to the Charter School. Supporters say the Charter, a public school oper-

Man in the U.S. illegally pleads guilty to rape charge

Ex-hospital employee pleads guilty to sex assault

By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A former employee of two area hospitals on Wednesday afternoon stood handcuffed inside a mostly empty courtroom in New Brunswick to admit sexually assaulting two physically helpless female patients in 2013 and 2015. Richard D. Smith, 41, appeared to wipe tears from his eyes as a Middlesex County Superior Court judge read off all the conditions he would have to live under once he gets out prison sometime in his early 50s. He will be a Megan’s law offender, have to report his whereabouts to police, be parole supervised for life and meet other requirements — all for exploiting two women when he worked as a medical technician at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton, in April 2013, and then in the same job at University Medical Center of Princeton in Plainsboro, in November 2015. Smith, of Princeton, pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, charges that could have sent him to prison for life. Instead, the plea bargain he got from the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office calls for him to get 12 years for each offense, to run concurrently, when he is sentenced June 30. He will have to serve 10 years and two months before becoming parole eligible. In court, Smith’s lawyer, assistant deputy public defender Susan M. Martin, walked him through a series of questions to lay the factual basis of his guilty plea. He admitted that when he was alone with the two victims, he had sexually assaulted them.

For his part, Josephson touched on the dispute and said the enrollment increase “will have minimal financial impact to the school district.” “It is unfortunate that school funding laws put our public schools at odds at moments like these,” he said, “and we reiterate our call that PPS work with us to See CHARTER, Page 13

A Guatemalan citizen living in the country illegally admitted Tuesday to burglarizing a home on Birch Avenue last year and raping the female resident in her sleep. Pedro Arias-Santiago, appearing in state Superior Court in Trenton, also pleaded guilty to burglarizing another residence on the same street two weeks prior to the rape, to harass an occupant of the house. His admission to the offenses came as part of a plea bargain that calls for him to get seven years in prison for the rape and five years, to run concurrently, for the burglary, at sentencing scheduled for May 26. He will be deported after completing his prison sentence, said Michelle Gasparian, supervising assistant Mercer County Prosecutor and chief of the special victims unit. The victims were not in court. He has been held in the Mercer County Correction Center since his arrest. Less than a year ago, AriasSantiago was picked up by Princeton Police and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault and related offenses for the rape and burglary that occurred in the overnight hours of June 28 to June 29. The 28-year-old victim woke up to Arias-Santiago raping her, fled the house and called 911, police said at the time. Princeton Police said he was Photos by Phil McAuliffe captured with articles of her clothing, including undergarments, and The Princeton Fire Department conducted a drill at 99 Heather Lane in Princeton on Feb. 26.

When the Route 518 bridge will reopen is anybody’s guess By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

When will the Route 518 bridge be reopened? Your guess is as good as mine. It is those guesses that Vitaly Shakirov is trying to tease out in a fun contest posted on the Facebook page for his coffee shop business, called “Buy the Cup,” on Washington Street in Rocky Hill Borough. Shakirov posted the contest on

his business’ Facebook page last week. So far, more than 40 people have commented/guessed, Shakirov said Monday afternoon. The person who guesses the correct date of the bridge’s opening will win a $10 gift card for “Buy the Cup.” If no one guesses the correct date, it will be awarded to the person who guessed closest to the opening date, he said. Work to replace the Route 518 bridge, which crosses over the Delaware and Raritan Canal at the

edge of Rocky Hill Borough, began on July 7. It was supposed to be closed for three to four weeks. But on July 8, Gov. Chris Christie issued an executive order to stop work on all non-essential state-funded projects because the Transportation Trust Fund in the state Department of Transportation was running out of money. Once the issue of re-funding the Transportation Trust Fund was resolved, work on the Route 518

bridge resumed. The project was supposed to be completed by the end of February, but work was halted earlier in the month. The project is being held up because of the discovery of creosote, which is a wood treatment chemical, in the ground and water. The contractor discovered the creosote near the project, said Steve Schapiro, the communications director for the state Department of Transportation. See BRIDGE, Page 13

Town employee accused of sex crimes was also a backup crossing guard By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Princeton animal control officer Saul “Nate” Barson, accused last week of committing sex crimes on a 13year-old boy in early February, handled crossing guard duty for the municipality on a backup basis during the times of the day when school-age children would be out on the streets, the municipality said Monday. The town was unable to say when the last time Barson did that responsibility or what routes he was posted at. Town administrator Marc D. Dashield said the municipality last week had notified Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane that criminal charges had been filed against Barson and that

Barson had handled crossing guard duties. It is not unusual for town employees in various departments to do that kind of work, town officials said. This comes as the town also disclosed Monday that it had started reviewing Barson’s computer materials, “to determine if anything is there,” Dashield said. He said the probe is being done by the municipality, not law enforcement. The Princeton Packet has filed a public records request for Barson’s emails and text messages starting in January to right up to when he was arrested. Barson, 29, a municipal employee since July 2015, has been accused of committing sex crimes on a boy, in Pat Livezey Park, in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania, Bucks County.

Sen. Turner speaks to local women about equal pay for equal work By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Filling up the gas tank of a Ford Escort costs the same amount of money, regardless of whether the driver is a man or a woman. So, why shouldn’t a woman be paid the same amount of money as a man for performing the same job in the same office or store? There is no reason, and that’s why New Jersey lawmakers - including state Sen. Shirley Turner (D-15th Legislative District) - have pushed to pass legislation that mandates equal pay for equal work. “Women have to pay the same amount to buy gasoline or food as men. We don’t get a discount because we are not being paid the same salaries as men,” Turner said. The state senator spoke

to about 50 women and a handful of men in the second of a series of talks, sponsored by the United State of Women, Mercer County Chapter, to discuss current issues. She made her remarks Sunday night at the West Windsor Arts Center on Alexander Road. Turner is a co-sponsor of legislation that would amend the state Law Against Discrimination. It would require employers to stop offering women different pay rates and benefits packages for doing substantially the same work as men. An employer who violates the law would have to pay damages and make up the back pay to the date that the discrimination began. The bill was conditionally vetoed by Gov. Chris Christie last year because it would not be business-

friendly. The governor objected to the provision of unlimited back pay, as compared to the federal Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009. Federal law limits back pay to two years’ worth. An effort in the state Senate to override Gov. Christie’s veto failed in January. Only 23 of 40 state senators voted to override it, when 27 votes are required. Turner was one of the 23 who voted to override the veto. State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-37th Legislative District), who sponsored the bill, is trying to work out a compromise. Meanwhile, Turner said unequal pay for equal work also hurts women because they live longer than men after retirement. Pensions and Social Security pay-

School district approves policy on administering opioid antidotes By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

West Windsor-Plainsboro school district officials have approved a policy that outlines how opioid antidotes may be administered to students who are experiencing a drug overdose. The policy grew out of a recommendation by consultant Strauss Esmay Associates, LLP. The firm advises school districts and prepares policies to ensure that the districts comply with state and federal law. In this case, the state Department of Education advised school districts that they may develop policies and procedures to administer an opioid antidote to stu-

dents, staff or anyone attending a school function. Opioids include heroin and prescription painkillers such as OxyContin or Percocet. Under the new policy, the school district physician can authorize a school district nurse to administer an opioid antidote to an overdose victim in an emergency. The school nurse will be trained to recognize the symptoms of an opioid overdose, how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation and information on the opioid antidote and how to administer it. The school nurse is responsible for storing the opioid antidote in a safe and secure location. The nurse will document when it was administered to a student

BONDED & INSURED

and make it part of the student’s health record. When there is a report of a suspected opioid overdose, the school principal or designee or a staff member will call 911. The school nurse will be notified and, if necessary, administer the opioid antidote if he or she believes “in good faith” that the person was experiencing an opioid overdose. Once the emergency medical technicians arrive, the suspected overdose victim will be taken to a hospital and accompanied by a school staff member. School district officials will notify the student’s parents or guardian, or a family member or contact person if the victim is a staff member.

ments are based on the last few years of an employee’s salary. If a woman is paid less, then she will receive less. “You are not going to be able to retire and pay for yourself,” Turner said. The state senator said New Jersey does not have economic justice if women are being paid less than men for performing the same job. She recalled that when she applied for a job, she was told that she could be paid less because she was married. “That, of course, is ridiculous. It is not economic justice when you are not being paid fairly. You can’t have social justice if you do not have economic justice. That’s what it is all about,” Turner said.

Turner suggested that it might be different if there were more women in the State Legislature. Of 40 state Senators, 11 are women. In the state Assembly, 25 of the 80 Assembly members are women. Turner said she became involved in politics when she was asked to run for the Mercer County Board of Chosen Freeholders. She was elected to the Freeholder board and served from 1983-1986. Turner was asked to run for a seat in the Assembly, and served from 1994 to 1998. She was elected to the state Senate in 1998. “People said I would lose in the state Senate race. I had a tough Republican opponent, and I had to decide whether to stay in the

Assembly or challenge him. I rolled the dice and I won,” she said. Turner offered some advice to prospective politicians in the audience. First, be aware of the issues. Become pro-active, begin to network and help to get other candidates elected. “You have to get involved. You have to step up. Don’t wait to be asked to run,” she told the women in the audience. Becoming a candidate for elective office requires commitment. It’s a long campaign, and “you have to be ready to wear out your shoes” by going door to door to talk to voters, she said. Fundraising also is important. “We need more women in power,” Turner said.

Energy efficiency saves money, land - and creates jobs By Michele S. Byers

It’s easy to see the pros of energy efficiency. A well-insulated building with high efficiency heating and cooling, state-of-theart appliances, efficient lighting and “smart“ controls can slash energy use and save lots of money. At the same time, it boosts public health by reducing air pollution. Energy efficiency also saves land by reducing “energy sprawl” - the enormous amount of land needed for extracting, harvesting, processing and transporting fuels. But there’s another plus to energy efficiency that’s less obvious: jobs! A new report shows that the energy efficiency industry is already supporting at least 1.9 million jobs in the United States, and employers expect another 9 percent growth this year. “It employs about twice as many workers as the auto industry … and almost 10 times as many workers as the oil and gas extraction industry. It’s a big number,” said Jim Barrett, chief economist for the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE). Both the federal and state governments can encourage energy efficiency projects by providing incentives for utilities, families and businesses to invest. Some states have been faster than others to jump on the energy efficiency bandwagon. The report, “Energy Efficiency Jobs in America,” identifies the top 10 states investing in energy efficiency and creating jobs. California led the pack, followed by Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio, Texas, New York, Georgia, Virginia and Pennsylvania. What about New Jersey jobs? This state we’re in wasn’t given a numerical ranking, but the report notes that as of 2015, about 38,400 New Jerseyans were working in energy efficiency related jobs. Most are employed by small businesses in sales, installation, engineering and research, manufacturing, and professional services. This is consistent nationally, with most energy efficiency jobs provided by small firms rather than large corporations. For this reason, energy efficiency jobs were often undercounted in the past. The ACEEE provides an annual scorecard, ranking all 50 states by energy efficiency policies and results. Not long ago, New Jersey was ranked seventh, but fell to 24thin 2016, down from 21st the previous year. Let’s increase energy efficiency to save money, save land, reduce emissions that cause health problems … and create jobs!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR One more lie from Trump haters To the editor: In a letter to the Princeton Packet on Feb. 10, “Administration decision a setback for animals,” the submitter claims that the Trump Administration has delivered a blow to animal health and well-being by shutting down the web reporting of government actions against animal abusers. I thought that it was a bit odd that President Trump’s Administration would be spending any time at all in the first two weeks of his presidency worrying about this website. So I did some research. First of all, the submitter did not author that letter. That letter has, verbatim, appeared in many publications, all submitted by different people made to look local. You can see this by doing a search on the first line of the text. It is one more example of fake news being planted by the left to demonize the Trump Administration. If you go to the website of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, you can see the following notice:

SOLUTIONS

“Editor’s Note: The review of APHIS’ website has been ongoing, and the agency is striving to balance the need for transparency with rules protecting individual privacy. In 2016, well before the change of Administration, APHIS decided to make adjustments to the posting of regulatory records. In addition, APHIS is currently involved in litigation concerning, among other issues, information posted on the agency’s website. While the agency is vigorously defending against this litigation, in an abundance of caution, the agency is taking additional measures to protect individual privacy. These decisions are not final. Adjustments may be made regarding information appropriate for release and posting.” This is followed by a more lengthy explanation. For the time being, any regulatory reports can be obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, as with most other regulatory agencies. So, this publication and many others have been taken in by one more lie from Trump haters.

There are a number of approaches to becoming more effective citizens

How do we become more effective, participatory citizens? How do citizens communicate, come together, and organize in support of legislation addressing crucial issues? To a packed Princeton Public Library, Princeton citizen Sam Daley-Harris - thinker, organizer, and author - provided a number of approaches through which we all might throw off our feelings of frustration, powerlessness, and uncertainty about what to do. Quoting author Frances Moore Lappé, Daley-Harris read that our problems are not the well-known physical threats to our well-being, because we know what the solutions are. “Our real problem is … our own feelings of powerlessness to manifest the solutions right in front of our noses.” Judging by the turnouts for this meeting, for recent Citizens’ Climate Lobby meetings in town, and for town meetings across the country, not to mention the numerous, post-election protests, last November’s elections have awakened and activated people nationwide, and around the world. But Sam urged all to consider a deeper form of advocacy: namely on-going meetings and conversations within groups and with each other, with those holding other views, and Michele S. Byers is executive director of with our political representatives. And as we begin to do so, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in he reminded us, we will have greater success if we: a.) maintain civility; b.) bring others into the conversation; c.) pracMorristown. tice our message and its delivery; and d.) reach out to the media. Part of this strategy means building bipartisan support www.princetonpacket.com for any initiative. It also means that individual citizens Founded in 1786 need to find organizations that are willing to stay focused Bernard Kilgore, Group Publisher 1955-1967 and go deeply into issues, rather than leap from one to anMary Louise Kilgore Beilman, Board Chairman 1967-2005 other. As an example of one such group (in addition to the Citizen’s Climate Lobby,) Daley-Harris introduced PrinceMike Morsch Donna Kenyon ton citizen, David Goodman, who has run the local chapter Regional Editor Executive Editor of Represent Us, a volunteer organization whose disciplined focus on getting corruption out of politics has won Joseph Eisele Michele Nesbihal Publisher General Manager the enlistment of the town of Princeton, other New Jersey mnesbihal@centraljersey.com towns, and several state-level efforts. But then Sam noted that for any of us to find the essen145 Witherspoon Street tial commitment to an idea or group, we first need to disPrinceton, N.J. 08542 cover our own motivation - that is, our purpose. He pointed Corporate Offices 198 Route 9 North, Suite 100 out that while many people want to support one issue or anManalapan, N.J. 07726 other, only a small percentage are even aware of who their © Packet Media, LLC. 2017.

Congressional representative is, despite the fact that she or FAX (609) 921-2714 (Advertising) FAX (609) 924-3842 (Editorial) he is probably the first person they should contact about that issue. Sam also noted that another substantial, polled national majority doubts that any change is possible. But that view is clearly self-defeating. Instead, in order to be

effective, people need to first question themselves in order to discover what they believe, what their purpose is, and what they are prepared to do. At the same time, they need to recognize that action is an effective antidote to depression. The fairly wide-spread recognition of this across the country may be part of what has swelled the numbers of people suddenly participating. If individuals need to first evaluate themselves, as DaleyHarris encourages them to, so too do the organizations. They need to examine their attitudes toward others new to them, seeing them as possibilities and not obstacles - seeing them even through a lens of love for their fellow creatures. In addition, groups need to establish “structures of support,” that is attitudes and on-going tasks that will welcome and engage members. Activities that require group participation and contribution are also key for holding together. Similarly, expressing and spreading accounts of success are equally essential for the encouragement necessary to keep going. Finally, Daley-Harris reminded the audience that practicing a group’s message is important in order to successfully draw in new members and enlist the support of representatives and governments. In response to one question about spreading one’s energies among many groups, he replied that it is probably more beneficial to find and commit to one organization which feels right, than it is to split one’s energies among many. Sam read to the audience a number of inspirational quotes, but one, from his book, Reclaiming our Democracy, by playwright George Bernard Shaw, seemed to speak to the key point of his talk. “This is the true joy of life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. “I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is sort of a splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. GBS. Man and Superman.

West Windsor Township Council begins its review of budget By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

With West Windsor Township Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh’s proposed $39.9 million budget in front of them, Township Council has begun its review of the 2017 spending plan. Township Council has already reviewed the budgets for several departments, including Public Safety, Public Works and Community Development. The proposed 2017 municipal budget is expected

to be introduced at Township Council’s March 27 meeting. A public hearing and final action on the budget has been set for April 24. For the second year in a row, an increase in the municipal property tax rate is being proposed in Mayor Hsueh’s budget. The mayor is recommending a 1.6-cent increase. The 2016 municipal budget carried a 1-cent tax rate increase. Although the 2017 tax ratables base has not yet been certified by the Tax

Assessor, a 1.6-cent increase in the municipal property tax rate would mean an increase of $84 on the tax bill of a house assessed at the township average of $522,601. The current municipal property tax rate is 40 cents. The mayor’s proposed $39.9 million budget is $979,000 more than the 2016 municipal budget. An increase of $205,395 in salaries and wages accounts for part of the increase. The “other expenses” part of the budget increased

by $773,605. It includes a $544,838 increase for group insurance, $136,391 for the Stony Brook Regional Sewerage Authority and $45,089 for pension costs. Most of the revenue to support the budget comes from property taxes. The proposed 2017 budget calls for $24.2 million to be raised from property taxes, or $923,323 than in 2016. Other sources of revenue total $15.6 million. Of that amount, there is $2.1 million in state aid; $5.7 million in miscellaneous

revenue; and $3.2 million in sewer service charges. The budget also includes $4.4 million from the fund balance, or surplus account, as a source of revenue. The fund balance is a one-time revenue that has to be regenerated during the budget year in order for it to be used as a source of revenue in a subsequent year’s budget, Mayor Hsueh wrote in his budget message. Since 2008, the fund balance has dropped from $8.2 million to $5.7 million today. Mayor Hsueh attributed part of the drop in the fund balance to previous Township Councils’ decisions not to increase the municipal property tax. There were no municipal property tax increase in 2014 and 2015. There was a 1-cent increase in 2016. The mayor wrote in his

budget message that a 1.6cent tax rate increase for 2017 is needed to begin to rebuild the drop in the fund balance that has occurred over the past nine years, and to help balance the 2017 budget. “As in all prior years during my tenure as mayor, the proposed budget was formulated with the theme of ‘long-term financial planning and sustainability.’ The purpose of these two principles is to predict how actions taken this year and next year will have impact on budgets and service going forward,” he wrote. “It has long been a mandate of my administration that we refrain from a policy of up and down ‘spikes’ in our budgets and tax levies. Thus far, we have been mostly successful in accomplishing these objectives,” Mayor Hsueh wrote.

Last year, Dylan D’Amore got a taste of what it is like make it to the final weekend of the state wrestling tournament in Atlantic City. D’Amore, a senior at Montgomery, will be heading back again this year and he’ll be doing so with a purpose. After capturing the 285pound title at the Region 5 tournament with a 1-0 win over Michael Porcaro of Sayreville, D’Amore is the No. 3 seed at the state finals and will open against Triton’s Jake Brown on Friday at Boardwalk Hall. Princeton’s Alec Bobchin also advanced to the state finals after finishing fourth at 126 pounds at Region 5. Bobchin will face topseeded Nicholas Raimo of Hanover Park in the opening round. Also at Region 5, Princeton’s James Verbeyst pinned Nicholas Weikel of Monroe to win the fifthplace match at 160 pounds. Sean Thompson of WW-P South won the fifth-place match at 138 pounds, 1-0, over Donald Albach of Monroe, while the Pirates’ Steven O’Campo lost the fifth place match at 152 pounds, 5-4, to Rumson-Fair Haven’s Nick Addison. D’Amore, who finished fifth in the state last year, hopes for a better finish this year. He’ll head to AC with a 34-1 record, having avenged his only loss of the season with the win over Porcaro. “I think it came down to grinding and heart,” D’Amore said. “You just never know at heavyweight. Being in the regional final last year and wrestling and losing to his brother, that wasn’t something I wanted to see. It was good to get the win. “You always want to be going in on a high note. I was pretty confident but you have to take everything one match at a time. I don’t

The less that goes through my head the better.” As the No. 3 seed, D’Amore is expected to make a strong run through the tournament this weekend. It will be a fun experience, especially since he goes in knowing what to expect. “That is going to be huge,” D’Amore said. “Not that many guys are going this year that went last year. Having a leg up on the competition will help. I know a lot of the kids that were there last year graduated. “There is nothing better than wrestling in the convention center. It is unreal to wrestle in front of thousands of people. You work so hard that it is nice to wrestle in that environment. The ultimate goal is to finish on top of the podium. No question about it.” No matter where he finishes, it will have been another fantastic season for D’Amore. “I try and focus on the team aspect first,” he said. “So I was a lit-

tle upset we missed sectionals by less than a point. I was really bummed about that. Then when districts roll around it’s a little more individual. “We had six guys go to regions. Five wrestled on Wednesday and three lost. And then the last two lost over the weekend.” It was also a good weekend for Princeton, which sends Bobchin to states and nearly had a second with Verbeyst. “I thought they both did well,” Princeton coach Rashone Johnson said. “Between Alec and James and Daniel, this is only the second time in school history with three guys in the quarters of regions.” Bobchin, who is 33-2 this season, advanced with a fourth place finish at 126. “It’s no surprise,” Johnson said. “He puts in a lot of work and when you put in that kind of dedication and work he is supposed to be doing what he is doing. He puts in the time. At the end of the year at the state tournament there are

no surprises. The people there put in the work to be there.” “He will go down and wrestle his matches and put the effort out there and see what happens. We want to go down and win a couple and see how far we can take it there.” Johnson thought he might be bringing two wrestlers, but Verbeyst fell just short. “James was right there.” Johnson said. “He did a great job during his career and he’ll leave with the most carer wins, pins, and takedowns. He will have a whole bunch of records up there. We have guys now who will aim to break those records. He did a lot to put us on the county map. He was a four-time finalist and twotime champion. He’s been one of the top guys in the area the whole time he was in high school. He just fell a little bit short this weekend.” “He was 36-2 and lost twice in the same day. That’s the best season record ever in the school.”

Knights back together for MCT title run By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The West Windsor-Plainsboro High North girls got the whole gang back together just in time. The Knights had played a large portion of the season without senior guard Jasmin Watson. They also had been without senior Natalie Everett for a five-game stretch leading up to the Mercer County Tournament. But with the whole team back together for the Mercer County Tournament semifinals and finals, the Knights showed just how good a team they could beat. North knocked off top-seeded Notre Dame, 53-44, in the MCT semifinals before rallying from 15 points down to defeat Ewing, 47-44, in the championship game. “At first it was a little unreal,” said Watson, who scored 18 points in the final and was named the tournament Most Valuable Player. “But then I realized with the team that we had and with how much hard work and effort we put into building this that was one of our goals for the season, to win MCTs.” The Knights were down, 38-23, midway through the third quarter after Ewing went on a 24-1 run. But with a group of seniors used to winning, North battled back and drew even at 44-44 with just over one minute left. “We were up 10 early and then we were down 15,” said North coach Bob Boyce, whose team improved to 22-5 with a 60-28 win over Matawan in the opening round of the state tournament on Tuesday. “I knew if we found a way to play defense we would find a way to play enough offense to score. At one point it became a matter of if we could play enough

Members of the West Windsor-Plainsboro North girls basketball team celebrate on the court after rallying to defeat Ewing, 47-44, in the Mercer County Tournament championship game. defense. They did the same thing against Notre Dame. “It’s more a function of their experience at this point. Those seniors have been around a long time. They don’t give up. They keep playing. I don’t think that they thought they couldn’t win. We just had to figure out how and they did.” Against Ewing, it was Chrissy DiCindio that came through with the biggest basket of them all, breaking a tie with two seconds left. “We knew we were pretty much full strength and those were

the first two games we really were full strength,” DiCindio said of the semifinals and finals. “We were really excited. We knew we could do it and we were ready to go. “To have her and Natalie back, as well, it really gave us a lot of momentum. We got used to winning without them and we knew we were going to play two tough teams in the semis and finals. It was really good having them back.” Watson missed portions of each of the last couple of seasons with injuries. She thought she might miss the biggest games of

her career, but was able to get back on the court for the MCT. “The first time I went (to the doctor) they told me I would probably miss the rest of my season,” said Watson, who had 18 points in the final. “And then I went back and they said it looked good. Just keep up the PT and you’ll be fine. “I guess I could say I got kind of used to it being that I have been out before in all of my seasons. But I learned how I could help on the bench and during practices keeping everyone’s attitude positive and making sure they are See KNIGHTS, Page 9

Continued from Page 8 working hard.” Seniors Watson, DiCindio, Everett and Ciahni Hunt have been the cornerstone of the program. And they made the most of their final MCT together. “I’m so happy that I have been able to play with these girls the last four years,” Watson said. “Even back into middle school. I get teary eyed just thinking about it. I am going to miss it.” Added DiCindio: “It was bittersweet. We got what we wanted as far as MCTs go. But it was our last MCT. It was a great one to go out on. We’re still looking forward to the rest of this season.” And the Knights earned the school’s first MCT title in dramatic come fashion with their comeback win. “A lot of us didn’t know

makes us excited for what he can do in the spring. He is on another level right now. He keeps getting better and better. (The University of Pennsylvania) got a diamond in the rough with him.” As impress as Samara was with Roth, he was equally excited by the performance of Hare. “Will had his best time ever,” Samara said. “No disrespect to Alex, but the performance of the meet was Will Hare. He brought a level we were not expecting him to bring at this meet. To see how mentally tough he has become is incredible. He has the confidence now to go against the top guys. He trusts himself and is right there. He’s now ranked the number one junior in country in the 3,200.” Jackie Patterson finished 21st in the 400 meters. The Little Tigers competed in the Eastern Championships on Tuesday at the

Armory in New York, where the distance medley finished in 10:19.73. Two other Packet-area athletes earned secondplace finishes at the Meet of Champions. West WindsorPlainsboro South’s A’Nan Bridgett tied for second in the high jump at 6-feet, 6inches. He also finished ninth in the 55-meter dash. “He really came into his own this year,” WW-P South coach Todd Smith said of the junior. “He peaked at the right time and just missed 6-8, which would have been his best. He has the benefit of a father (former Princeton High coach Andre Bridgett) with a lot of track and field experience. So he gets the benefit of good coaching in school and also gets some of that benefit at home.” The South girls 4x800 relay of Tia Saade, Sam Miller, Kavya Tummalapalli and Haley Rich finished fifth and earned a medal.

“We had a good showing,” Smith said. “We got a medal on both sides at the Meet of Champs, which we were real happy with. The girls ran a season best time in the 4x800. We had a decent season. The girls were second at the county and the boys are on the rise with some great juniors and sophomores.” Montgomery’s Abrianna Barrett finished second in the high jump with a performance of 5-feet, 6inches. Peyton Schnackenberg was 12th in the shot put. Julia Hans was 20th in the 3,200 meters, while for the boys Danny Young was 15th in the high jump. WW-P North’s Atharv Kulkarni finished ninth in the 800 meters. Matt Santamaria was 10th and Vedang Lan was 20th in the 3,200 meters. Luke Johnson was 12th in the 1,600 meters and Myles Fye-Moore was 13th in the 200 meters and 25th in the 55 meters.

until after the game,” DiCindio said of being down 15 points. “We’re a very mentally strong team. That is because of our coaching.” Added Watson: “I don’t think any of us realized we were down 15. We were like, did that just happen?” The fifth-seeded Knights opened the Central Jersey Group III tournament with their win over Ewing and were scheduled to face fourth-seeded Red Bank Regional on Thursday. They were feeling good about their county title but know that doesn’t mean much when it comes to making a run to a sectional title. “We know we have to forget about it a little bit because the teams we are playing now don’t care at all,” DiCindio said. “And Boyce keeps telling us that, which is good to hear.”

Ben Samara couldn’t contain his excitement over the performances of Alex Roth and Will Hare at the NJSIAA Indoor Track and Field Meet of Champions. “They ran phenomenal,” said Samara, who saw his two distance runners finish second and third in the 3,200 meters. Roth, a senior, finished in 9:10.09, less than two seconds behind Jordan Brannon of Colts Neck. Hare, a junior, was just behind his teammate, finishing third in 9:13.66. “It was a good race,” Samara said. “Brandon is a great athlete and obvious favorite going in. But Alex has a shot to beat him any time they go on the track. He gave him a good run for the money. He fell short but with that kind of PR you can’t be unhappy. He had gone 9:13 outdoors. So to go 9:10 indoors is huge and

football. It’s a real honor.” Guerra will be honored at the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Football Foundation’s 55th Annual George Wah Scholar-Athlete-Leader Awards Dinner, which will be held March 12 at 4 p.m, at the Westin Princeton at Forrestal Village. Also among the honorees that day will be West WindsorPlainsboro North’s Jeremy Lockwood, WW-P South’s Lucas Cuitino, Chris Renna of the Hun School, and Princeton University’s Scott Carpenter. “He was a sophomore starter when we made that 82 run,” Princeton coach Charlie Gallagher said. “He

Ethan Guerra was in his element at the media day breakfast for the Delaware Valley Chapter of the National Football Foundation’s Scholar-Leader banquet. The Princeton High senior was surrounded by similar football players to himself. Players that were able to not only excel on the football field, but off the field and in the classroom as well. “This is awesome,” Guerra said. “It’s an honor to be recognized by an organization like this. They’re making sure everyone is playing for the right reasons. It’s nice to be noticed for things that are not just

was a guard for us that year. And then junior and senior year he played both ways. He was a captain going into his senior year and we talked about it over the summer. He and Kyle Angelucci did a great job their junior years. Unfortunately, Kyle fell on hard times and tore his ACL in the summer. But Ethan really rallied the troops and did a great job keeping the players focused with the idea that week in and week out they weren’t going to be easy games but we have to try and win the games. “He’s a great kid. He’s very smart. He’s a great overall kid. He’s well-balanced. My classroom is a studio and there are a bunch

of guys in there every day eating lunch. He’s in there with the guys. He’s the kind of guy that people want to be around him. He’s a salt of the earth kind of kid.” Guerra, who also wrestles this winter for the Little Tigers, is thrilled to be able to be part of a group that not only excels on the football field, but does the other things that make then leaders as well. “In the end you do it for the love of the sport,” Guerra said. “I played football because I love the sport. I think it is obvious that everyone here feels the same way. It’s nice to be part of this familyoriented thing where everyone has the same feeling about the game.”

Continuing VAPING IS AS HARMFUL AS SMOKING While e-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) are marketed as a safer alternative to regular cigarettes, the chemicals in e-cigarette vapors have been found to be just as damaging (sometimes more damaging) as tobacco to gums. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 16% of high school students reported using the devices in 2015, up from only 1.5% in 2011. While e-cigarettes do not contain tobacco, they do include nicotine and other chemicals such as flavoring agents. These battery-operated devices house a heating element that vaporizes the liquid in the cartridge, producing a vapor that is inhaled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vapingâ&#x20AC;? was found to kill cells in the gums and mouth after just a few days, with menthol-flavored vapor posing the most harm. Nicotine reduces the amount of blood that can flow

through your veins. Without sufficient blood flow, the gums do not get the oxygen and nutrients they need to stay healthy. Nicotine chokes tissues in the mouth from the blood it needs to survive, causing death of the gum tissues. We do our best to ensure our patients can get the gum disease care they need in one convenient location. To schedule a consultation, please call 609-924-8300 or visit us at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman.

Princeton Community Dinner, 5 to 7 p.m. each Tuesday, sponsored by the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen and the First Baptist Church of Princeton, corner of John Street and Paul Robeson Place. All are welcome for a free dinner at the church. For information call (609) 924-0877 or visit www.1stbcpnj.org.

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. Since smoking either tobacco products or e-cigarettes destroys the defensive barrier in the mouth that staves off infection and inflammation, gum disease and oral cancer are more likely to develop.

PACKET BRIEFS Lessons of the Antarctica explorers

Teachers to present ‘gifted’ workshops

It seems Antarctica is everywhere in the news these days. Whether it’s famed chef and travel channel host Anthony Bourdain chasing exotic gastronomic fare; NASA scientists testing spacecraft and technologies on the similarly unyielding barren terrain, or a ship full of intrepid cruisers marveling at the surreal atmospheric light and clarity Antarctica holds an undeniable allure that spans the ages. Princeton Senior Resource Center jumps on the wave on Sunday, March 5, at 2:30 p.m., with a special event featuring Princeton native Brad Borkan, whose new book When Your Life Depends on It: Extreme Decision-making lessons from the Antarctic is the organic result of a strong interest in the early explorers of the region, first sparked at the Princeton Public Library in his youth. In the years since, Borkan has participated in numerous Antarctic conferences, garnering an abiding appreciation for the brave early explorers of the unknown territory - Ernest Shackleton, Robert Scott, Roald Amundsen, and Douglas Mawson - and the extraordinary challenges they encountered on their journeys. The book examines the ramifications of the life-anddeath decisions - the kind most of us never encounter - these men often had to make just to survive, and presents an opportunity for reflection on the lessons in morality and ethics modeled by their choices. Borkan grew up in Princeton and is a graduate of Princeton High School. He attended the University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College in London, and has a graduate degree in Decision Sciences from the Wharton School. He lives with his wife and daughter in London, where he has spent more than 20 years working at leading software companies focused on helping large business enterprises improve their decision processes. The book is co-authored with David Hirzel, who is a California-based Antarctic historian and writer. The public is invited to attend this free talk, which will include a presentation of historic photographs at the Suzanne Patterson Building, 45 Stockton Street in Princeton. Register at princetonsenior.org.

COLON CANCER Cancer of the large intestine is called colon cancer. Most of the time, colon cancer begins when little polyps that form in the colon become cancerous. Polyps can be small and may not even produce any symptoms, which is why regular screenings for colon cancer are so important. Screenings usually become a routine part of a health care plan around the age of 50, and sometimes earlier depending on family history and risk factors for the disease. As a rule of thumb, discuss any persistent changes in bowel habits with the doctor, including diarrhea and constipation. Report any rectal bleeding or blood in the stool along with abdominal cramps, a feeling that the bowel hasn’t completely emptied, weakness, or fatigue. If you’re 50 or older, talk to your doctor about which colon screening test is right for you and get tested as often as recommended. To schedule an appointment, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. My practice is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. My areas of emphasis include Alzheimer’s, dementia, urinary incontinence, osteoporosis, geriatric assessment and end of life issues. Our website, www.drrobertplatzman.com, has more information about the practice. P.S. There may be an association between the typical western diet and an increased risk of colon cancer.

Small School Environment: Over time, we get to know each and every student as an individual learner. Students, faculty, administrators, and parents know one another at PCS. Since many students are here from kindergarten or third to eighth grade, and we have no more than 48 students in a grade, we have the opportunity to get to know students and families well. This extended family environment makes for a strong, supportive learning experience. Strong Community: Princeton Charter School is an extraordinarily diverse and inclusive community. Although we are a small school, we are a decidedly global community: Anyone who spends a morning at PCS will hear many different languages being spoken between parents and their children. We hear Arabic, Bengali, Cantonese, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Mandarin, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, and Ukrainian on a regular basis. Supportive Teachers: At Princeton Charter School, teachers inspire, and challenge all students to meet a high standard of academic achievement. Teachers work hard to support students to be successful in reaching these high standards. Teachers are committed to the success of every child. We provide a full range of supports and interventions for our students. There are several mechanisms in place to ensure that every student reaches his or her highest potential. • Communication: Teachers email, call, and meet with parents on a regular basis to provide feedback on student progress. In addition, we use a school-wide learning management system (Schoology) that allows parents to have access to assignments, class resources, and a calendar that organizes homework, tests, and major assignments. We have two rounds of in-person parent-teacher conferences in which parents can meet with each individual classroom teacher through Grade 8. • Co-Teaching: In grades 3, 4 and 5, all language arts sections are co-taught by two certified, experienced teachers. This allows teachers to support students individually and in small groups during lessons. In grades 3 and 4, mathematics classes are similarly taught using the co-teaching model. • Smaller Sections in Upper Grade Levels Math and English: Math and English classes meet for one hour every day. Starting in grade 5 there are four sections of math with some as small as 6 students. All students complete Algebra I by the end of 8th grade. Starting in grade 6, all English sections have only 16 students and they meet for one hour every day. • After School Program: Certified teachers familiar with our academic program staff our After School Program. Teachers provide homework support and tutoring as needed for students in grades K - 8. Students in the After School Program also have ample opportunity for outdoor play activities and snacks. The After School Program is FREE for students according to financial need. • Summer Academy: The school provides support for students over the summer through our 4-week Summer Academy which is FREE for any Princeton Charter School student.

find a legislative solution that makes us allies in the cause of better public education.” For his part, Cochrane took the other view. The district is concerned that the commissioner’s ruling “will affect our long-term ability” to provide students “with the outstanding academic and co-curricular experiences they deserve.” The proposal has led both the school district and the Charter School to sue each other in state Superior Court claiming the respec-

tive school boards had violated the state law on public meetings, saw the Princeton Council urge Harrington to reject the proposal and even saw Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy oppose the expansion. Murphy’s campaign counsel is also Josephson, a lawyer. That the issue took place in the backyard of Save Our Schools NJ, an organization critical of charter schools, added another wrinkle to the drama. Mayor Liz Lempert, who helped start that group, opposed the Charter School expansion. She said Thurs-

“I just opened (the) door and went in,” said AriasSantiago, who admitted he did not know his victim. He said she was sleeping when he came upon her. He admitted hugging and kissing the woman, identified in court by her initials. Gasparian, though, pressed him to disclose the full extent of what he had done by asking him if had (committed sexual intercourse) with the victim without her permission. He admitted he had.

The judge went over the plea bargain in painstaking detail and, when at one point, Arias-Santiago indicated he wanted to speak to an immigration lawyer about the impact the guilty plea would have on his status, it appeared the deal might get put on hold. But after conferring with his attorney, assistant deputy public defender Jenna Casper, he went through with it. The attorney said she had spoken with an immigration lawyer in her office and shared with Arias-Santiago everything that lawyer had told

her. In court, Arias-Santiago said he had six years of education and no criminal record. His then-landlord said last year that AriasSantiago, a day laborer, had been staying in an apartment on Leigh Avenue for three months. He had a brother living there as well, the landlord had said. He also has an alias, Pedro Olegario, according to court records. His case, coming at a time amid a focus during the presidential campaign about crime by illegal immigrants and sanctuary cities, had caught the attention of conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who tweeted on her Twitter account about him last year.

“It is pretty depressing,” Shakirov said of the bridge closure. Washington Street, which is the main street through Rocky Hill Borough, should be busy, but it has been quiet, he said. There are few cars on the street. Shakirov said his business has been affected by the lack of traffic, and added that the bridge closure has affected other businesses in

town. Commuters and emergency services responders have been affected, as well, he said. “They keep promising us all the time. In November, they said it would be open by Christmas. In December, they said it would be open by the end of February. Now, they say it will be open by the end of March,” Shakirov said. He added that realistically, if all goes well, it will be opened by the end of

April. Schapiro said the state Department of Transportation understands that the project is locally sensitive. The agency is working as quickly as possible to resolve the issue and complete the project, he said. “(But) these types of unexpected environmental issues demand immediate attention to ensure the safety of the workers and the residents,” Schapiro said.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NARRATIVES “Revealing Pictures” at Princeton University Art Museum shares images from a worldly collection By Anthony Stoeckert he two women in the photograph are sitting on a couch, wearing silky robes, displaying a lot of leg and a hint of cleavage. Their eyes stare at the viewer, intently, but not in an alluring way to match how they’re dressed. Instead they seem to be challenging the viewer. One woman is younger than the other. Their relationship is explained in the photo’s title, “Mother and Daughter, Davenport, Iowa. The photo was taken in 2002 by Alec Soth, and is part of his series, “Sleeping by the Mississippi.” It is not a typical mother-daughter portrait. The daughter’s arm is wrapped around her mother, and their legs are intertwined. My first thought in looking at the picture was that they have a particularly close relationship and were photographed early in the morning. But in reading the text accompanying the photo I learned that Soth photographed the women in their place of work, a brothel. A caption accompanying the photo reads, “‘My dream is to be an RN,’” wrote Aja. “Her mother, Julie, said that she had given up on dreaming a long time ago.” The photograph is on view in “Revealing Pictures: Photographs from the Christopher E. Olofson Collection,” on view at the Princeton University Art Museum through July 2.

The exhibit features works by 11 photographers from the around the world: Nikolay Bakharev, Edmund Clark, Daniel and Geo Fuchs, Tim Hetherington, Pieter Hugo, Liu Zheng, Zanele Muholi, Robert Polidori, Soth and Miwa Yanagi. The photos are from the collection of Olofson, a member of Princeton University’s class of 1992. The works in the exhibit represent a fraction of the collection, according to Katherine Bussard, the exhibit’s curator. “His starting point for collecting was Chinese contemporary art,” Bussard says of Olofson. “He had been an East Asian studies student here at Princeton. He started following contemporary Chinese art in the late 1990s, and a lot of that work involved photography. He found himself gravitating to that work, and he built up a sizable collection of Chinese photography, from the ’90s and the aughts.” As he continued collecting, his works became more global. He now collects without regard to an artist’s country. Bussard notes that Olofson is drawn largely to documentary photographs that have a narrative component. “The goal for the exhibition was to pull together a number of objects from his collection that really underscore some of the subtlety of his collection,” Bussard says. Interesting to Bussard is what the photos reveal to viewers as they look at them. “I think that if someone wanted to walk through the exhibit and see very skilled artists making excellent and captivating portraits, that’s there for the taking at first glance,” she says. “That’s completely evident. I think if someone wants to dig a little deeper and understand something about the political and historical meanings of that portrait, we’ve made information available. Where that takes them and how it sits with them, whether it tugs at the heart strings or pushes up against their own political

beliefs, I hope I’ve left that up to the viewer.” For example, the photo of the mother and daughter is visually striking, but more is revealed as you look it. “If you want to look at the image a little more carefully, you start to notice they’re wearing matching outfits,” Bussard says. “And then, if you notice that those matching outfits are kind of silky and kind of like a negligee with a bathrobe over top of it, you start to wonder why a mother and daughter might pose together wearing such things.” Reading the label informs the viewer as to why they’re wearing negligee and that they are at work in a brothel. The quote about dreaming, and the photo’s placement next to another picture by Soth, of a cemetery, add to the experience. “Those layers, if you will, are exactly what I was hoping a visitor will, if he or she wishes, peel back to take a deeper look,” Bussard says. The Chinese artist Liu shares images of Chinese people who work in less-known aspects of China’s society. Photos from his series, “The Chinese,” taken from 1994 to 2002, including those of a dying old woman, two miners naked, washing after a day’s work, and convicts facing water boarding. Portraits by Muholi were taken in the wake of crimes against women and LGBTI people in South Africa. Hugo also is from South Africa and takes pictures of children in South Africa and Rwanda. The museum will host two panel discussions connected to the exhibit. “Revealing humanity: a conversation about visual identity in postcolonial South Africa,” will take place March 9 at 5 p.m. It will focus on Muholi’s “Faces and Phases” series. “Revealing war: a conversation about art and journalism in the 21st century,” on April 27, 2017, at 5 p.m., will explore Edmund Clark’s Guantánamo Bay series and Tim Hetherington’s photojournalism

of upheaval and conflict in West Africa and Afghanistan. There also will be an artist talk by Clark, April 6, 6 p.m.

Hours: Tues.Wed., Fri.-Sat., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thurs. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sun. 1-5 p.m. For more information, go to artmuseum.princeton.edu or call 609-258-3788.

FAMILY FUN By Keith Loria

Queen of the Court Ace Jackson and her fellow Harlem Globetrotters are coming to Trenton

he sweet music of “Sweet Georgia Brown” will soon fill Trenton’s Sun National Bank Center, as fans will get to witness the ball-handling wizardry, basketball artistry and one-of-a-kind family entertainment that can only be delivered by the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters. The fun and excitement of watching the the funniest basketball team around will be a little special for girls who love the game, as female trotter Ace Jackson will be joining in on the fun. As a child, Jackson went to a Globetrotter game with her family and took a photo with Globetrotter legend Sweet Lou Dunbar. She never imagined she would someday be wearing the same red, white and blue colors on her own uniform. “I never in a million years thought I would ever be a Globetrotter,” Jackson says. “I thought they were so amazing and really skilled and had great personalities that could make anyone laugh, so when I was asked to join, it was so amazing. It’s truly an honor to be part of such an iconic team.” Jackson’s collegiate basketball career is as impressive as anyone on the team. She played her first two years of college ball at Savannah State University, and quickly grabbed the starting point guard job as a freshman leading the team in three-pointers and assists. She led the team in scoring and assists as a sophomore and was named to the NCAA Division I All-Independent All-American second team. She then transferred to Point Loma Nazarene University for her final two seasons, leading the team in points, three-pointers and assists as a junior and in three-pointers, assists and steals as a senior. “I’ve always loved the game and had a passion for basketball since I was 7 years old,” she says. “I’ve done tricks since I was around 11, and could spin the ball on my finger and doing fancy ball-handling and such.” She attended basketball camps conducted by Globetrotter Handles Franklin, who saw something special in her and encouraged her to try out to become a Globetrotter. “I have always had the desire and will to help people,” she says. “Being a Harlem Globetrotter means that I am able to make a difference and an impact in the world and in many peoples’ lives.” Now in her second year with the team, Jackson is one of four women currently on the Globetrotters’ roster, and just the 13th female player of all time. Her signature move involves tricks with dribbling. “I’m a dribbler and I do a lot of dribbling, shooting and ball-handling throughout the night,” she says. “People

Hoops fans are sure to marvel at Ace Jackson’s dazzling skills when the Harlem Globetrotters make their way to the Sun Bank Arena, March 3-4. should be ready to laugh their face off and have a great time.” Her favorite part of being a member of the Globetrotters is all the traveling she gets to do. Jackson has already been to more than a dozen countries, playing in front of people all over the world. The Globetrotters are celebrating its 91th year of providing smiles, sportsmanship and service to millions of people worldwide. When the team takes to the floor on March 3 and 4, it will be facing off against the World AllStars. “Every year, we play for millions of fans and we always come up with new tricks and ideas that are sure to wow them,” Jackson says. “We hear that this year the World AllStars have a secret weapon, which will help them beat us, but we’re always coming full-force and we have our fans on our side, so we’ll play our hardest to go up against them.” There is little for Globetrotter fans to fear as opponents’

secret weapons always seem to fail. A few years ago, the Washington Generals hired a referee to help them win, and even with the ref awarding the generals a seven-point play, the Globetrotters still won. Globetrotters rules include a 4-point line, located 30 feet from the basket — 6 feet, 3 inches beyond the top of the NBA’s current 3-point line. And as usual, each Globetrotters game will showcase incredible ball-handling wizardry, rim-rattling dunks, trick shots, hilarious comedy and unequaled fan interaction. After each game, Globetrotter stars will even sign autographs and take photos with fans. “We’re all about creating lifetime memories, and what better way to do that than by having interactions with the fans,” Jackson says. “We love them, they love and support us and to be able to give back is just wonderful.”

The Harlem Globetrotters will play the Sun National Bank Center, Trenton, March 3-4, 7 p.m. Tickets cost $23.50$121.50; www.sunnationalbankcenter.com.

PHOTOGRAPHY TALK

Photographing the Boss

panel of photographers will talk about their experience taking pictures of Bruce Springsteen, March 5, beginning at 3 p.m. at McCosh 50 Lecture Hall on the Princeton University campus. Presented in conjunction with Morven Museum & Garden’s current exhibit “Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey,” the discussion will be moderated by Bob Santelli of The Grammy Museum. Participating photographers will include Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Barry Schneier, and Frank Stefanko. “Our goal with this exhibition is [to] define the career of Bruce Springsteen in an entirely new light, as captured by these five incredible photographers,” Santelli says in a press release. “Each of these photographers were able to artfully document Bruce’s world, at different stages in his career. We are honored to partner with each of them in order to help tell the story of one of the most important fig-

Ed Gallucci took this picture of Bruce Springsteen and his band in 1972. Gallucci will participate in a lecture about photographing Springsteen, March 5 in Princeton.

ures in American music.” The exhibition, which is on display through May 21, features more than 40 images of Springsteen, as well as video interviews with the photographers.

The meticulously organized warehouse could pass for an antiques store, with its tables and chairs, beds, shelves of kitchen appliances, dishes and more. Residents of communities surrounding HomeFront’s facility at the Brunswick Circle in Lawrence are generous in their donations, and the loading dock fills with treasures, from wooden dining room sets, china closets and chests of drawers to headboards and sofas. These become available in HomeFront’s “free store,” where clients can pick out what they need to furnish the living space HomeFront helps them find. HomeFront has been seeking to end the cycle of poverty and homelessness and help families become self-sufficient for 25 years. Among the many donations have been sewing machines, some in finely wrought mahogany cabinets, and sewing notions — thousands of zippers and snaps, for example. Three years ago, Ruthann Traylor started Sewing Space, an organization that empowers HomeFront clients by teaching them sewing skills, thanks to the donations of fabrics, sewing machines and notions. Through the program, clients learn to sew curtains and tablecloths that can be used in their homes, as well as wine sacks and tote bags that can be sold, earning a small income that is split by the client and HomeFront. Participants learn merchandising and business skills, math and language skills, all while deriving satisfaction from having made something by hand. At Sewing Space, Traylor and her team have created a welcoming ambience that is often teeming with volunteers, sorting and cutting fabric, putting together materials that the production sewer can work on. There are bins and cabinets filled with neatly folded fabrics and organized sewing accoutrements, artfully painted and upholstered furniture, and displays of handcrafts, all contributing to the homey feel. Sewing teacher Jody Malloy, who has a background in children’s wear and doll costumes, worked as a seamstress while raising her own children. She made slip covers and did alterations, and is teaching the HomeFront clients to do the same. “It’s a great way to make money while working at home,” she says. Generations ago, every home had a sewing machine. Sewing used to be a required course for girls. In the mid-20th century it was less costly to make your own clothing than purchase it in a store, but that hasn’t been the case for decades. Most of the clothing we wear is sewn overseas, where fabric and labor are cheaper. Sewing has become a lost skill — even hems and buttons are sewn at the dry cleaner’s.

Ruthann Traylor started Sewing Space three years ago to help empower HomeFront clients, and to make use of the sewing machines that had been donated to HomeFront over the years. de-accessioning their Singers, Kenmores and Berninas on HomeFront’s loading dock. Malloy tried to teach her own children these valuable skills, but found they had little interest. “I love coming here and seeing new faces who are eager to learn my tips,” says Malloy, who starts with the basics: teaching students to get to know the machine, putting paper through to learn the stitches. In addition to working with the many fabrics donated, volunteers creatively up-cycle donations of gently used clothing and tablecloths. Malloy found a hand-crocheted white tablecloth that had a hole in it, and salvaged the good parts to make pillow covers. Cordoned off by a row of bureaus containing the carefully sorted fabrics is an area filled with industrial machines mounted on stands. This is where Terri Farkas works. She started as a HomeFront client, and is now employed one day a week as a production sewer. She also fulfills custom orders for pillow covers and table runners. “Even when I was not required to be here I kept coming,” she says of the joy she finds in her work. Traylor also runs ArtSpace, the HomeFront program that helps women living in shelters build self-esteem through art making. ArtJam is the annual fundraising art exhibit for ArtSpace held in a popup store in Palmer Square — this year it will take place May 19June 6 at 19 Hulfish St., with an opening reception May 19, 6-9 p.m. This is a premiere destination for purchasing items made through Sewing Space, in addition to occasional open houses. Sewing Space has set up tables at craft fairs in the area, and some of the volunteers approach stores on both sides of the river to carry some of the merchandise. It is a challenge to find the right balance

of what clients can produce in a reasonable amount of time with what will sell well — the wine totes, with appliques of a goblet, for example, are good sellers. Customers fill them with wine and give them as hostess gifts. “I want to use a skill I have and do something for others,” says Jane Fetter, a Lawrence resident, textile artist and retired teacher who volunteers at Sewing Space. “I am amazed by the creative new ideas sparked here.” She holds up a pillow that is made from an upcycled sweater, and an adult clothing protector (bib) that the group produces in bulk for nursing homes. “With the up-cycled clothing, we show clients how they can get something from the free store and make it more interesting.” A wooden rack is draped with silk ties that will be used to make handbag straps or rosettes. Traylor has worked with manufacturers who donate odd lots, including wedding dresses and evening gowns. “Our 2017 goal is ‘furnish the future,’” she says, describing plans to hire another sewer for alterations and custom work. What HomeFront clients want more than anything is to have a job and to be self-sufficient.

Eighty percent arrive without a high school degree, and HomeFront first helps them earn a GED and find housing. But four walls and furniture are not necessarily all the components of a home — through ArtSpace and SewingSpace, they learn to personalize their homes and build pride of place. “It’s empowering for our clients to have nice things they’ve created,” Traylor says. “We’re trying to teach life skills, focus, problem solving, math and money management skills. It’s nice to see them build self-esteem as they build amazing products. They are making money and learning the business aspect, and they can take away a skill, be it to make a hem or children’s clothes. Volunteers help to set up their apartment, and work with colors and paint and measure their windows for curtains. We teach them that you don‘t need a studio, your creative space can be at the kitchen table.”

Items made at Sewing Space will be available for sale at ArtJam, 19 Hulfish St., Palmer Square, May 19-June 6. An opening reception is scheduled for May 19, 6-9 p.m. For more information, go to www.artspacenj.org.

WHAT’S IN STORE

The freshest juice around Arlee’s Raw Blends is devoted to health, taste, and its customers

Brian Moore looked around one day and said to himself “Hey wait a minute, what if. . .?“ And the rest is history, in a delicious and healthy way. In his late 20s, Moore did his health-conscious wife, Arlee, a favor by making her natural, preservative-free fruit and vegetable juices to take to work. Arlee shared some with her coworkers, who shared them with their friends. Somehow, word got out and Brian began making them for his co-workers and the workload increased. “I’m making juices all night long in our little condo,” Moore recalled. “Finally it was like ‘Hey wait, let me just see if there’s a market for this.’” There was. The result was Arlee’s Raw Blends — named after Mrs. Moore, of course — which opened its doors at 246 Nassau St. in Princeton, April 1, 2015 and has created quite a stir in the Princeton area. Arlee’s has become so popular that Moore and his partner/sister Paula Taylor are looking to open stores throughout Mercer County, and as far as Freehold, Red Bank, Lambertville and New Hope. “We want everybody to take a moment and think about looking toward a healthy lifestyle,“ Taylor said. “We’re looking to expand and grow. We want to be the Starbucks of juices. We want to bring this to every community.” There’s a simple reason for Arlee’s rampant success — it has solved the age-old secret of providing products that taste good and are good for you. “This is the purest food you basically can buy,” Moore said. “We capture everything. We‘re GMO-free, we’re organic. You can really trust us with our product if you’re looking for a nice, healthy meal or beverage.” “We are 100 percent organic, 100 percent raw, vegan,” Taylor said. “We’re GMO free with our juice cleanses, salads, snacks, desserts. Our slogan is ‘Taste the love.’ We work very hard to make sure our product is desired by everyone.” As an avowed vegetable hater, take this author’s word for it — the Kale juice mixed with apples and several other fruits is truly yummy. “It’s just like making a cake,” Paula said. “We’re very good at blending. We pay attention to the taste. We want our juices to taste good. I drink juice every day so I want to make sure what I’m drinking tastes good, and we take a tremendous amount of time in making sure no matter what juice we think of, or create, that it has to taste good. “We work on it, we have everyone in our

with Paula at age 6, and the siblings had already developed an avid devotion to healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle. The juices started to take on a life of their own with Moore’s creations. In 1997, Brian was part of the last graduating class at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School, before it became WW-P South. He attended the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and majored in hotel/restaurant management. Moore got a few internships, one at a country club, and another with Hyatt hotels, which led to his first job working at a Hyatt in Manhattan as a purchasing manager. But from being on the farm so often, and seeing how farmers were in charge of their own fate and their own work rate, he yearned to be an entrepreneur. He re-connected with Arlee, whom he knew from college, during a chance meeting in Philadelphia and they got married in 2011. They eventually moved to Lawrenceville and Brian became a realtor in Princeton. He had several ideas to become his own boss, such as running a distribution warehouse in Philly, selling artwork, or serving as a personal shopper in New York City for those who lived in remote places. Photo by Rich Fisher “I was all over,” Brian said with a laugh. Paula shot those ideas down, and through it Siblings Brian Moore and Paula Taylor all Moore made juices.

our philosophy that we should sell it by two days because most people will take it home and leave it for a couple days. It’s just our nature to do that.” The other reason the quality of the juice dwindles after five days is that there are no preservatives in these juices to help extend the shelf life. “Foods have become more processed, with more preservatives in them,” Taylor said. “We’re learning that people are becoming sicker. and [we’re] becoming aware of the contamination of our food source. It’s not as though it hasn’t always been there but they’re taking more interest in their food supply and their health and wellness. If you want to live a long life, you want to live a healthy long life. You want to feel good.” Which is why Kale juices are the biggest sellers. They provide a necessary dosage of vegetables with a helping of fruits to help formulate different flavors. “When you drink one bottle of Kale you’re getting your correct serving of vegetables for the day,” Paula said. And just what are the benefits? “You get tons of energy,” Brian said. “I don’t even wake up to an alarm clock. I’ve noticed if you don’t eat well, you’re going to be sluggish. You’re not going to wake up on time. Once you drink this, you get tons of energy. It’s very vibrant, it helps your skin. It prepares your body from the inside out.” While Moore and several others make the juices, Paula focuses on the food. The items are as varied and healthy as they are tasty. Along with soups and salads, there are kale crackers, dried fruit, granola bars, power granola cereal, cashew non-dairy cheesecake, flour-less chocolate cake, dairy- and sugar-free vanilla and chocolate pudding, fresh fruit with cashew puddings, sprouted almonds and numerous other items. Brian and Paula make sure their employees are all health conscious, and train them on just what benefits the products. The owners also take turns behind the register to interact with their clientele. “They’re telling us what they like,” Taylor said. “We think of Arlee’s as a community of a source of knowledge on health and wellness. Not only are we educating a community, this particular community comes in and educates us as well. “They’re telling us the latest, what they’ve created. They’re bringing things in that they have purchased — some organic produce — and they’ll say, ‘Taste this, tell me what you think.’ St., Princeton.

LOOSE ENDS

Pam Hersh

It’s all about family and community

I encountered two surprises — one happy and one not so happy — a week after I wrote a column last August about Princeton artist, art teacher, and arts entrepreneur Priscilla Snow Algava. The happy occurrence was reconnecting with a long-lost friend, award-winning watercolor artist Sandy O’Connor, whose life has intersected in a profound way with Priscilla’s. After living in Massachusetts and California for a few years, Sandy and her husband, Steve, moved back to Princeton, considered by both to be home where the O’Connor family resided for 17 years. She told me she was working out of Priscilla Algava’s Witherspoon Street Studio at 1 Â½ Witherspoon Street, next to Small World Coffee, above the empty Princeton Army & Navy store space. She not only was painting, but also was helping Priscilla to enrich the Princeton arts scene with the WOW (Wondrous on Witherspoon) “pop-up” art gallery to which Priscilla was so passion-

ately devoted. The not-so-happy news was that Priscilla’s studio space was available because Priscilla was engaged in an intense non-arts project — fighting for her life. On Aug. 24, 2016, the lives of Priscilla and her friends and family and fans were “irrevocably changed,” said her daughter Alisa, when Priscilla received a shocking diagnosis of advanced endometrial cancer. Now back to the happy news, a portrait of family and community support for a “truly incredible woman,” said Sandy. Priscilla’s most recent CT scan — after major surgery and six chemo-therapy sessions — “showed that everything looks good,” said Priscilla’s daughter Carin. “Now Mom has ‘graduated to surveillance’ with the next scan in three months.” This good news, however, was part of a larger picture of how friends within the Princeton arts community and Priscilla’s family members rallied around her and joined her

Her daughters Alisa and Carin on the evening of Feb. 24, completed a cycling event, Cycling for Survival in New York City, to raise money for rare cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering. Team Priscilla raised more than $7,408, and donations still

were coming in. At the conclusion of her daughters’ race, Priscilla announced that next year she intended to ride along with the members of her family in the same fund-raising event. People can donate through the end of march at mskcc.convio.net. The enormous everyday

support (meals, transport, phone calls, visits) from her friends and acquaintances “illustrated compassion at its best,” said Alisa. Priscilla’s colleagues not only helped with the mundane tasks associated with living, but equally important gave her the support to keep her spirit alive through her painting and the promotion of the art of other members of the Princeton arts community. “Although she felt awful, Priscilla never stopped engaging in the Princeton arts scene,“ said Sandy. She continued to show her work throughout the region, and is among the artists in the current exhibit “Nature’s Healing Gifts,” on view at the D&R Greenway’s Johnson Education Center through April 7. Priscilla was particularly determined to sustain the WOW Gallery project at 14 Â½ Witherspoon Street. “Thanks to the amazing benevolence of landlord Jeff Siegel, the temporary gallery space that housed the pop-up show last spring was still made avail-

able to us,“ Sandy said. “Priscilla helped plan the 2016 holiday show and recent Valentine’s Day show. If the space remains unrented, perhaps there will be a 2017 spring show from Communiversity through Princeton Reunions.” Sandy, who sold 14 paintings during the Christmas and Valentine’s pop-up exhibits, feels honored to be able to help Priscilla remain a viable force in the Princeton arts community. The former director of Creative Services for Bloomberg L.P., Sandy got started on a serious painting career late in life after she retired from her “day” job at Bloomberg. Although the realism of Sandy’s watercolors is inspired by the works of Wyeth, Homer, Turner, Sergeant, and Hopper, “it is Priscilla Algava, who sees beauty and possibility in everyone and everything, that inspires me to be a better human being,” said Sandy.

Drinking poses increased health risks for women

Heavy drinking among women has risen steadily in the United States, and as a result, women are at increased risk for a range of dangerous health conditions. There are a number of factors that may lead women to problem drinking, including social pressures, stress, anxiety and depression. Princeton House Behavioral Health, a division of Princeton HealthCare System, provides evidencebased treatment for women who may be using alcohol to cope with emotional issues. Riskier for women

Alcohol affects women differently than men. As the Centers or Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, although men are more likely to drink in larger amounts, gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to absorb more alcohol and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies. In other words, women are affected faster and longer by alcohol than men. Additionally, heavy drinking is more likely to damage a woman’s health than a man’s, even if a woman has been drinking less alcohol or for a shorter length of time than a man. Specific health problems cited by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism (NIAA) include: • Liver disease. Women are more likely than men to develop alcoholic hepatitis (liver inflammation) and to die from cirrhosis. • Brain disease. Research suggests that women are more vulnerable than men to alcohol-induced brain damage. • Cancer. Many studies report that heavy drinking increases the risk for breast cancer. Even moderate drinking is correlated with higher risk of breast cancer. Alcohol is also linked to cancers of the digestive tract and of the head and neck. • Heart disease. Chronic heavy drinking is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Among heavy drinkers, women are more susceptible to alcohol-related heart disease.

that they had at least one heavy drinking day in the past year, up from 14.5 percent just two years prior. Heavy drinking — or binge drinking — is defined as having four or more drinks in one day. What is a drink? In the United States, a standard drink is generally defined as:• 12 ounces of beer • 5 ounces of wine • 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits Dietary guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture define moderate drinking as no more than one drink a day for women. Additionally, the NIAA also defines how much drinking may put women at risk for developing alcohol dependence. To stay lowrisk, women should limit alcohol consumption to no more than seven drinks per week and no more than three drinks on any single day.

And perhaps most alarming, female alcoholics have death rates 50 to 100 percent higher than those of male alcoholics, including deaths from suicides, alcohol-related accidents, heart disease and stroke, and liver cirrhosis, according to the NIAA. Yet, despite the risks, among women who drink, 13 percent have more than seven drinks per week. Moreover, in 2015, 17.4 percent of women reported

The reasons why some women drink and develop problems with alcohol are varied. No one sets out to become dependent on or addicted to alcohol. In many cases, a woman thinks her drinking is OK, until one day it’s not. What is clear is that women who suffer from depression or anxiety are at greater risk for developing alcohol-related problems

than those who do not. Studies have also found that women who have suffered childhood sexual abuse are more likely to have drinking problems, as are women who have trouble with their closest relationships. What’s more, women are at greater risk for depression and anxiety than men, in turn putting them at greater risk for problem drinking. Signs and symptoms of depression include:• Persistent sad, anxious, or “empty” mood • Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism • Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness • Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities • Decreased energy, fatigue, being “slowed down” • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions • Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping • Appetite and/or weight changes • Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts • Restlessness, irritability Signs and symptoms of anxiety include:• Feelings of fear and dread about things that may happen now or in the future • Avoiding everyday activities that you used to enjoy • Weakness • Shortness of breath • Rapid heart rate • Nausea

• Upset stomach • Hot flashes • Dizziness When to Get Help If you experience symptoms of depression or anxiety, talk to your doctor. Often, they can be treated with mental health counseling, medication or a combination of the two. In addition, if you are struggling with alcohol abuse or alcohol addiction, seek help. The NIAA suggests answering these four questions to help determine if you or someone close to you has a drinking problem: • Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking? • Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking? • Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking? • Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? One “yes” answer suggests a possible alcohol problem. If you responded “yes” to more than one question, it is very likely you have a problem with alcohol. If you answered “no” to

all of the questions, but your drinking is interfering with your job, relationships, health or the law, you may still have a problem that requires attention. As part of its outpatient Women’s Program, Princeton House Behavioral Health offers to help women in acute emotional distress increase their selfcompassion and coping skills and regain control over their lives. Princeton House Behavioral Health offers inpatient and outpatient programs for men, women, children and adolescents, as well as specialized programs that are customized to meet the needs of women. Boardcertified psychiatrists and skilled professionals work together to provide the highest level of care for people of all ages who are struggling with mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or a combination of both. Treatment is available in Princeton, Hamilton, North Brunswick, Eatontown and Moorestown. For more information, go to www.princetonhouse.org or call 888-4371610. Nicole Orro, L.P.C., is a licensed professional counselor and licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor. She is the director of Princeton House Behavioral Health’s Hamilton outpatient site.
