Changes expected to high school schedule By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

A committee of administrators and teachers at Princeton High School is expected to recommend starting school later in the morning, in a move designed to alleviate the stress levels of overworked students who complain they don’t get enough sleep. Superintendent of Schools

Stephen C. Cochrane, in a text message Thursday, said “proposed changes” would go before the school board “early” next month. He did not elaborate. High School Principal Gary Snyder, who organized the socalled “bell schedule committee“ that is examining this and other issues, outlined steps the committee will recommend. Recommendations call for starting school later

in the morning, providing “a midmorning break” for students and rotating the daily schedule, “so that not every day would be the same,” Snyder said by phone. Any change in the schedule — with school now starting at 7:50 a.m. and ending at 2:51 p.m. on normal days — would have implications for after school activities including sports and for students from Cranbury who get bussed to

Princeton. The new starting time, as well as the ending time of the school day, would have to be determined. “There’s a lot of pieces that have to get worked out, and we don’t have all those answers …,” Snyder said. For its part, the school board is receptive to ways to help students. School board president Patrick Sullivan said Thursday that he

supports starting school later. “The board is flexible and willing to look at proposed schedule changes that could affect the start and end of school day, if the administrators and teachers were willing to look at it,” he said. “We’re not going to say no if they suggest it.” Any schedule change, however, would take effect for the See SCHEDULE, Page 9

No surprises in update of university’s long game By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Nassau Hall shed no new light this week on its plan to grow the Princeton University campus, even as the university reiterated its desire to, eventually, develop the Springdale golf course. University officials, appearing in the Witherspoon Hall municipal building Monday night for a public forum, updated the community on its campus planning, mostly rehashing information the university already had released. Nassau Hall is in the midst of mapping its growth, to expand into the roughly 400 acres that it owns on the other side of Lake Carnegie, in West Windsor, construct a new residential dormitory, among other things. “Our current planning process is expected to continue through next fall, and there are some components of the plan that we won’t be able to say much about until then,” university Vice President and Secretary Robert K. Durkee said at the forum that members of the Princeton Council and the town planning board also attended. He said the university “is trying to look 10 years ahead but in a 30year-context.” The school wants to grow smartly, so that it acts in a way that does not handcuff university decision-makers in the future on how to use its real estate. “Although we are focused on planning in the next 10 years,” said university architect Ron McCoy, “our recommendations are going to be stronger … if they anticipate a longer time frame.” In terms of some major projects, the university is looking to build housing for faculty, staff, graduate students and post-docs at See UPDATE, Page 9

Area man sentenced in 2013 vehicular homicide case By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

In a Trenton courtroom Tuesday morning, Nelly Rodriguez stood only a few feet away from the driver who killed her 20-yearold daughter, Nicole, and two others in a car crash in December 2013. Rodriguez remained composed as she spoke of losing one of her four children, a “selfless” and “kind” young woman whose life was snatched away in seconds, left to die on a highway. “This pain is unbearable,” she said in telling Luis Delcid-Car-

dona, who was at the wheel that night, that she had forgiven him. Delcid-Cardona, 22, of Hamilton, sat next to his defense lawyer for his sentencing on three counts of vehicular homicide. He received five years for each life lost, with the prison terms to run concurrently, all according to the terms of the plea bargain that he had accepted in March to avoid going on trial. It was his first criminal offense. Having been locked up since his arrest Dec. 12, 2013, he received jail credit for the 1,251 days he has been incarcerated, thus shortening the time until he

will become parole eligible. The native of Guatemala will be deported once he finishes his prison sentence, having had his student visa revoked. The sentencing was the denouement of a case that started with four young people out together in a car. Delcid-Cardona was driving a Volkswagen GTA in the early morning hours of Dec.12, on I-95 south in Lawerence, when he lost control and hit the back of a tractor trailer that had been parked on the shoulder.

liveau, 18, who were passengers, died as a result of their injuries along with Nelly Rodridguez’s daughter, a fellow passenger. “It will always live with me,” said Delcid-Cardona, when given his chance to speak in court. The subsequent law enforcement investigation revealed that Delcid-Cardona had fled the scene, to run to a cousin’s house, in Lawerence, with the cousin calling 911. Authorities did a blood test of Delcid-Cardona, though only 19 at the time and not old enough to legally drink, and found his blood alcohol level was See SENTENCED, Page 9

Two local elementary schools impacted by national food recall By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Breakfast food that was part of a national recall was thrown out at two elementary schools where the product had been served earlier this month as part of a meals program, Princeton School District officials have said. Aunt Jemima frozen waffles were part of the voluntary recall by Pinnacle Foods Inc., amid concerns that those and other Aunt Jemima products might have been contaminated with the bacteria Listeria, which was found at the company’s plant. The waffles had been at Community Park and Riverside elementary schools, some of which had been served earlier this

month at both schools, the district said. No one, however, reported being sick, the district said. Princeton was notified May 8 by its food contractor, Nutri-Serve Food Management Inc., with the products that should be thrown away, a district spokeswoman said Monday. The district would be refunded for the cost of the discarded food, the spokeswoman said. “The recall did not include Waffle Sticks, which were served to students (the Courtesy photo week of May 9),” read a statement posted on the disMany DFSMC clients shared their stories.

It’s the water that is necessary for the seed to grow … sometimes, you have to dig deep for it,” she said. DFSMC’s Executive Director, Melissa Tenzer was delighted to have O’Neale as this year’s keynote speaker. “She truly understands our mission and is such an inspiration for the women we serve and the community at large,” said Tenzer. A highlight of this year’s breakfast was the announcement that DFSMC is approaching its 10-year anniversary. The organization was founded in 2007 with $50,000 seed money provided by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The first board

meeting was held at BMS in Mercer County. The best part of any Dress for Success event is hearing the stories of the clients. Several clients attended this year’s breakfast. Four women were highlighted when a microphone was passed around the room where they briefly explained what DFS meant to them. “The women that represent DFS and the women in the program, whom I have grown to love and admire did not get their strength and grace because everything in their lives to this point worked out,” said Rachel Higginbotham. Yamina Crosland shared this with the crowd, “When I hit rock bottom during the recession and couldn’t find support within my own family or resources I knew of, Dress

for Success became the family I leaned on. The amount of support, confidence and encouragement I received was immeasurable and like nothing I’ve ever experienced.” Bloomberg served as the breakfast’s title sponsor. Additional sponsors included Bristol-Myers Squibb, Saul Ewing, Victory, Wawa, Capital Health, Fox Rothschild, LLP, investorsBank, PNC, PSE&G, Robert Half, Stark & Stark and Royal Bank.

State lawmakers recognize importance of public gardens By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

When state Sen. Kip Bateman isn’t voting on government business affecting the lives of millions of people, the Republican lawmaker likes to escape from the phone calls and problems of the world to work in his vegetable garden. “I like to play in the dirt, I really do. I find it very therapeutic,” he said Thursday after attending a press conference at historic Morven, where he had read a joint Senate and Assembly resolution declaring the first Friday in June “New Jersey Public Gardens and Arboretum Day.” He and Assemblymen Jack Ciattarelli and Andrew Zwicker, who also represent the 16th district, were responsible for a measure that recognizes popular destinations around the state. Public gardens draw not only garden

Princeton Montessori School students celebrated Mother’s Day early by inviting mothers and special friends to the Cherry Valley Road campus on Wednesday, May 10, for a day of festivities. Children of all ages, from infants through eighth-grade, welcomed their moms into the classroom and treated them to meals, music, and hands-on activities throughout the day. The infant and toddler children hosted a lively morning “sing-along,” led by Emmy Award-winning children’s performer and school music teacher, Alex Mitnick. Mothers and children alike enjoyed singing and dancing to familiar songs, including favorites from the school’s Music Together curriculum. The singalong was followed by a breakfast social, where moms had a chance to spend time with their children and mingle with friends and teachers. Primary (pre-K through kindergarten) and elementary students welcomed their moms into the classroom for one-on-one activity time. The children led their mothers to child-sized shelves to try out different learning materials, known as “works” at Montessori. After the handson exploration and fun, students sang Mother’s Day songs and each child presented their mom with a handmade gift and writing. Classroom time was followed by outdoor play, where moms had a chance to kick around the soccer ball, push their child on the swings, and chat with friends.

lovers but photographers and bird watchers, said Lesley Parness, a founder of Garden State Gardens, a nonprofit started 10 years ago to promote public gardens around New Jersey. “We really wanted to have a way to market and publicize our public gardens, because really there’s not enough budget to market them individually, so we’re really marketing them together,” said Jim Avens, also a founder of the organization who is the horticulture manager for the Somerset County Park Commission. Membership in the consortium consists of 25 gardens in 12 counties. Samantha Richardson, president of Garden State Gardens, said the member gardens attracted more than one million visitors last year, including Sen.

“Mother’s Day is something I look forward to every year,” said Rebecca Piccone of Princeton, mother of Fred, 8, and Winston, 4. “My sons love to show me what they’ve been doing all year and what excites them. I’m always amazed at the sense of order and wonder in every Montessori classroom and how respectfully the children behave, not only toward the teachers but to each other.” A highlight of the day was the celebratory luncheon, held in the school auditorium. Led by the Montessori principle of practical life skills, the middle school students prepared and served the food themselves. The students prided themselves on their ability to be of service to others during the meal, happily dodging cameras and making sure water glasses remained full. “The luncheon was a great opportunity for us to connect with one another and also with the administrators,” said Cheryl Gregov, mother of Robert, 6, and Logan, 4. “The performers were fabulous as were the gracious servers.” During the luncheon, guests enjoyed musical performances by pre-K through middle school students. Moms clapped along to the elementary school’s renditions of “Count on Me,” by Bruno Mars, and “How Far I’ll Go,” from the movie “Moana,” while other guests were brought to tears by “Ave Maria.” The program also featured Suzuki violin performances by students of

STATE WE’RE IN

Socializing with nature By Michele S. Byers

Americans appear to have a mixed relationship with the outdoors. On one hand, most people say that nature is one of their most enjoyable interests. But on the other, they don’t spend much time outdoors. The gap between interest in nature and the amount of time actually spent in natural settings is explored in a fascinating new study, “The Nature of Americans.” The study’s authors surveyed nearly 12,000 adults and children to identify barriers that keep people from going outside, and find ways to overcome them. According to the study, Americans of all ages understand the tremendous benefits nature provides. “The vast majority of adult Americans surveyed reported that nature is highly important for their physical health and emotional outlook,” the report said. “Most noted that certain smells and sounds of nature bring to mind some of their happiest memories, that being in nature provides a sense of peace, and that being in nature helps to give meaning and purpose to their lives.” The same applies to children. Youngsters in the age 8-12 range said contact with nature “made them happier and healthier and deepened their relationships — in short, that exposure to nature promoted their physical, psychological, and social well-being.” Their parents agreed. But the majority of adults spend only five or fewer hours a week outside. The number was slightly higher for kids ages 8-12, who spent an average of 6.5 hours a week outdoors. But the same youngsters spent more than double that amount of time indoors on computers, televisions and electronic devices. So why doesn’t a love of nature translate into more time outdoors? Here’s what the study found: • The places where many people live, work, and go to school make it difficult for them to have contact with the natural world. • Most people have competing priorities for time, attention and money. • Most Americans no longer directly depend on the natural world for their livelihoods and subsistence, and thus don’t spend work hours outdoors. • New technologies, especially electronic media, keep people indoors. • Many people are uncomfortable being outdoors alone and lack social support, such as friends to accompany and encourage them. Many children are kept indoors by a lack of available adult supervision. Although the study is detailed, the takeaway is simple: People don’t need to be sold on the value of nature. They already like it. So take action now! Find a neighborhood park and invite your family and friends along to explore.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Big success for first-ever West Windsor Community Day To the editor: Some 5,000 to 7,000 West Windsor residences gathered April 29 at Duck Pond Park on Meadow Road for our first West Windsor Community Day. It was a great day with rides, games, face painters, food trucks and 50 interactive and informational tables. The day was the result of the partnership between the West Windsor Recreational Department, the West Windsor Municipal Police Department and the churches, synagogue and mosque in West Windsor. I want to thank the congregations of our community as we have formed the cooperative Interfaith Religious Leaders of West Windsor. The group meets each month and includes: Princeton Baptist Church of Penn’s Neck, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, NextGen Church, Institute of Islamic Studies, Dutch Neck Presbyterian Church, Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints, Congregation Beth Chaim, The Catholic Community of St. David the King and Princeton Meadow Church.

WATERSHED MATTERS

I especially want to thank Ken Jacobs, the director of the West Windsor Recreational Department, and the West Windsor maintenance team for their tireless efforts in set-up, parking coordination and their good-natured spirit.

Science education is a national priority

Educating the next generation of scientists more vital than ever as our national government dismisses science, rejects evidence-based decision-making, removes data from government computers and is poised to make drastic cuts to funding for research. Students in the United States have consistently received mediocre ratings in STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and math) compared to their counterparts in other nations, which has led to fears of declining global economic competitiveness. In response to these fears, new approaches to teaching science have emerged. The Watershed Association has made it a high priority to work with New Jersey schools to improve science education by helping them implement a new strategy called the “Next Generation Science Standards” (NGSS). NGSS places a greater emphasis on scientific inquiry and hands-on learning, and much less focus on simply memorizing facts and terms. NGSS was created by the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an organization called Achieve, in collabMichele S. Byers is executive director of oration with more than two dozen states and other stakethe New Jersey Conservation Foundation in holders in science, science education, higher education, and industry.

To make up for this deficit, many local education agencies have successfully partnered with outside organizations to provide content expertise that complements in

house support from district instructional coaches, lead teachers, and staff developers.” Watershed education staff have steeped themselves in NGSS, participating in several training seminars over the past two years on the new standards. This past fall, our staff teamed with teachers from John Witherspoon Middle School in Princeton, Timberlane Middle School in Hopewell and New Brunswick Middle School to develop and deliver NGSS-aligned, full-day programs. Princeton teacher Connie Escher was extremely enthusiastic about the experience her school had at the Watershed Center, saying, “We have a diversity of learners that were all engaged. It was the best field trip I’ve experienced as a teacher. It was clear that Watershed naturalists had a huge impact in designing the curriculum. It not only matched New Jersey core curriculum standards, but the way students learn on different levels was very carefully thought out.” Later this month, we are pleased to be delivering another two-day program for John Witherspoon School students. The issues of water pollution, flooding and drought — the heart of the Watershed’s mission — lend themselves to NGSS investigation and instruction, for either a single day program or sustained focus over a full school year. We are eager to engage area students in our work to address these pressing water issues. This summer, our Watershed Science & Stewardship Academy will apply the same NGSS principles in working with high school students to address several different environmental challenges. We are also working in partnership with Princeton University and Rider University to present the Watershed Science Teachers Academy this summer to help area teachers understand and prepare for the NGSS. The Watershed endorses the advocacy for science and evidence-based policy-making as well as remaining committed to improving the way that science is taught in our schools.

MONTGOMERY

Township looking for help on affordable housing By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Faced with the prospect of nearly doubling Montgomery Township’s population to accommodate state-mandated affordable housing obligations, Mayor Ed Trzaska has reached out to Assemblyman Andrew Zwicker (D-16th Legislative District) for help. The two lawmakers sat down about 18 months ago, soon after Assemblyman Zwicker took office, to discuss the challenges facing Montgomery Township - including the impact that building more units to accommodate the township’s potential obligation of about 1,000 affordable units would have on the largely rural township. In his May 8 letter to Assemblyman Zwicker, Mayor Trzaska wrote that about 5,000 new homes would have to be built in Montgomery in the next 10 years to satisfy the need to provide 1,000 units to be set aside for low- and moderate-income households.

The rule of thumb is to build four “marketrate” units for every “affordable” unit. “If Montgomery nearly doubled its size - from the (current) 7,000 households to 12,000 households - the implications would be devastating to our infrastructure, school system and local property taxes. Bottom line, the way of life in Montgomery would be changed forever,” Mayor Trzaska wrote. Assemblyman Zwicker responded in his May 17 letter to Mayor Trzaska that he, along with Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli and state Sen. Christopher “Kip” Bateman, have co-sponsored legislation that would clarify the amount of affordable housing units that each town must supply. All three are members of the 16th Legislative District. The issue stems from differences in the interpretation of how to calculate a town’s “fair share” of affordable housing. There is a “gap period” of at least 15 years since towns were last told how much affordable housing they needed to provide. In the meantime, the state courts and fair

share housing advocates have stepped into the fray. The courts have issued fair share housing obligations that include the number of affordable housing units that should have been built in the last 15 years. This has led towns to litigate in court to challenge those numbers, which are retroactive. Assembly Bill A-3821, which was cosponsored by Assemblymen Ciattarelli and Zwicker and Sen. Bateman, among others, states that the municipal fair share “shall not include retrospective calculations of law-and moderate-income households created during the gap periods.” The bill “would resolve the dispute around the calculation of municipal obligations, thus providing municipal planners, housing advocates and builders alike muchneeded certainly,” Assemblyman Zwicker wrote to Mayor Trzaska. “I agree with you and many other elected officials of municipalities in our district that the current process for setting affordable housing obligations is untenable,”

School lunch menu to include new chef’s display station By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Lunch is going to be a little more interesting at Montgomery Upper Middle School and Montgomery High School next year. That’s because in addition to the traditional lunch menu, a special chef’s display station will be set up twice a month at the upper middle school and twice a month at the high school. There will also be new made-to-order salad bars. Those additions to the menu are included in the renewal contract between the Montgomery Township Board of Education and Compass Group USA Inc., through its Chartwells Division. The

company will again serve as the school district’s food services management company. At the new chef’s table, the chef will cook entrees at the display station in the serving area in front of the students. The cost is $3.50 to $5.25. The standard entree combo lunch costs $2.90, although it may cost more depending on the options that a student may choose from the menu. The food service also will offer assorted appetizers that cost $2.75 to $5.25 The appetizers include broccoli bites, Buffalo wings, boneless Buffalo wings, cheddar poppers, potato skins, fried calamari and chili fries.

The made-to-order salads will cost $3.25 and $4.95. A packaged tossed garden salad is $3. The school board also approved prices for lunch for the 2017-18 school year. The standard lunch at Montgomery Upper Middle School and Montgomery High School is unchanged at $2.90. But lunch at the Village Elementary School, the Orchard Hill Elementary School and the Lower Middle School will cost $2.45 a 10-cent increase over the current price of $2.35. Students whose family’s income qualifies them for reduced costs for lunch will still pay 40 cents. There is no change in the lunch cost for those students.

Assemblyman Zwicker wrote. That’s why he and other lawmakers support Assembly Bill A-3821, he wrote. After Assembly Bill A-3821 was introduced in May 2016, the assemblyman wrote, he studied the bill and consulted with others “on both sides of the issue to make sure that this bill would increase affordable housing development and give municipalities greater certainty for long term planning.” Assemblyman Zwicker signed on to the bill as a co-sponsor in June 2016. The bill was introduced and has been referred to the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee. This is not the first bill introduced by 16th Legislative District lawmakers to address the issue of affordable housing. In 2016, Sen. Bateman co-sponsored Senate Bill S-2216. The bill would require a 10-percent set-aside for affordable housing in new developments - down from 20 percent.

Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, will keynote the Coalition for Peace Action’s (CFPA) 37th Anniversary Membership Dinner and Gathering on Sunday, June 4, in the MacKay Campus Center of Princeton Theological Seminary. MacKay Campus Center is off College Road near the intersection with Alexander Street, and there is plenty of free parking nearby. In addition to serving as Powell’s chief of staff, Wilkerson also served as associate di-

rector of the State Department’s Policy Planning staff. He had a distinguished 31-year career in the U.S. Army, including leadership posts at the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine War Colleges, before retiring in 1997. Since then he has taught at George Washington University, and currently teaches at the College of William and Mary. Wilkerson has been a critic of the Iraq War and speaks out against America’s use of drone warfare. The event begins with a 1 p.m. sponsor reception for the keynote speaker and honorees; followed by 2 p.m. catered dinner; and program from 3 to 5 p.m. At the program, CFPA will also honor four people who have shown exemplary leadership: N.J. State Senator Christopher “Kip” Bateman (R-16), who cast a vote that helped achieve the first-ever override of Gov. Christie’s veto of a gun violence prevention bill. N.J. State Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-37) is Senate Majority Leader, and has a distinguished 21-year legislative career that includes being a champion for gun violence prevention. N.J. Assemblywoman Gabriela Mosquera (D-4) is the General Assembly’s leader on gun violence prevention. Her perseverance on the issue led to the passing of a bill to prevent domestic gun violence.

SPOTTING SIGNS OF DISEASE A thorough dental examination may reveal more than signs of tooth decay and gum disease; the dentist is in a unique position to spot signs of other diseases, as well. For instance, signs of mouth dryness may be indicative of diabetes. While patients may not realize that their reduced saliva production is an issue until it decreases by half, the dentist may see signs of dry mouth much earlier. Diabetes also increases vulnerability to oral infections that create swelling around the teeth, in the gums, and in other areas of the mouth. In addition, the dentist may notice fungal infections (such as thrush, which produces white patches in the mouth) that may be evidence of diabetes. Brushing and flossing keep more than your teeth healthy -they might also prevent serious illnesses. Poor dental care is

also a possible factor in other conditions, such as immune system disorders, weak bones, and problems with pregnancy and low birth weight. To schedule an appointment, please call 609924-8300. We are conveniently located at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation. We offer cosmetic and family dentistry, as well as Zoom® and Invisalign®. Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com

P.S. Aside from diabetes, the dentist may see signs of Crohn’s disease, heart disease, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis while conducting a dental exam.

COMPARTMENT SYNDROME

Most people are not aware of this, but the human body is broken down into groups of muscles or organs known as “compartments.” These compartments are walled by very strong connective tissue called “fascia.” After a surgery or injury, or even after a bout of extremely vigorous exercise, a condition called compartment syndrome can occur. Compartment syndrome happens when blood or the fluid that arises after an injury or inflammation builds up in a compartment and causes pressure to increase. When the pressure becomes too great, the flow of blood can become obstructed, resulting in damage to tissue, a loss of function, or death. Most of the time, compartment syndrome affects the abdomen, arms, and legs. Treatments for compartment syndrome focus on reducing the dangerous pressure in the body compartment. Dressings, casts, or splints that are constricting the affected body part must be removed. To learn more, please call ROBERT PLATZMAN, D.O. at 609-921-8766. The office is located at 601 Ewing St., Suite C7, in Princeton. Our website, www.drrober tplatzman.com, has more information about our practice. P.S. Approximately 75 percent of the time, compartment syndrome develops after a fracture or after the casting for the fracture.

Schedule Continued from Page 1 2018/19 school year, said Sullivan. He said he wants to see more immediate changes to improve the climate at the high school, in the aftermath of a recent survey of PHS students finding large percentages of them feel stressed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in September 2017 in what suggestions theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to reduce the stress and workload for kids who are in the building now,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. Snyder touched on some other ideas the committee

came up with. One proposal calls for mixing up the daily schedule â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that the schedule is not always (periods) one through eight.â&#x20AC;? Such a change would allow for some class periods to be longer and others shorter. At the moment, the school has 45-minute classes every day, except Wednesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been exciting is just that the building and the faculty and the students are excited by the conversations, are excited by the prospects of doing some things differently that

can allow some things, structurally, to happen and to work differently,â&#x20AC;&#x153; Snyder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of questions about how some of these things might work out and what some of the ramifications could be.â&#x20AC;? Cranbury Chief School Administrator Susan Genco, whose district has hundreds of students at the high school on a send-receive basis, could not be reached for comment Thursday. Princeton High School has a reputation as a high performing school, where graduates go off to top col-

leges. But students complain of not getting enough sleep, having several hours of homework per night, on top of their regular school day, and whatever extracurricular activities they are involved in. One former administrator at the school said this week he favors

pushing back the start of the school day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not a psychologist, but all the research that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read shows that it is important that children get enough sleep,â&#x20AC;? said John Anagbo, who retired from the district. He said his sense, from

shop 24 hours @ pqmonline.com Benita Wittenborn, Co-Chair of Hopewellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FISH (Friends in Service Here), accepts $600 check from PQMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Rothwell and PQM Store Manager Charlie Coward. The contribution was from the Marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in Restaurant Week, where $1 from each â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chef Readyâ&#x20AC;? meal sold during the week was donated to the local charity, which provides for local home bound residents.

School district looks to renew superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contract By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton School Board will look to reach a new contract with Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane, with the goal of getting a deal done before the end of December. Cochrane, in the fourth year of a four-and-Ă&#x201A;Â˝ yearcontract with Princeton, has

done a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great job,â&#x20AC;? school board President Patrick Sullivan said Thursday. Sullivan said he and two others from the school board would serve on a committee to negotiate a new deal with Cochrane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to have it done by the end of the calendar year,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having certainty is good

for all parties.â&#x20AC;? For his part, Cochrane said in a text message Thursday that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;would be honored to continue my service in Princeton and look forward to preliminary discussions with the board about that possibility.â&#x20AC;? Cochrane started with the district in January 2014 to replace Judith A. Wilson.

In both cases, there are no immediate plans to develop those sites, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any timetable in mind, at this point, for Butler,â&#x20AC;? Durkee said later in the meeting. Earlier, in reference to Springdale, he said the university â&#x20AC;&#x153;will abide by the existing contract with the golf course so there will be no development there for at least 10 years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we have no specific plan beyond then,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, as we have said on a number of occasions, when we do think about future uses of that site, we will do so while being sensitive to potential impacts on the adjacent neighbor-

hood, respectful of the historic attributes of that property and supportive of efforts to enhance the stream corridor through the lands and improve public access to open space on the site.â&#x20AC;? He also said the university has no plans to open a West Drive connection to Springdale. Of growth in West Windsor, Durkee said the university has known that it would eventually â&#x20AC;&#x153;make more active useâ&#x20AC;? of its land holdings in the neighboring community. Princeton has talked of using the land for athletic facilities, administrative needs, housing and parking, along with having a pedestrian, bike and light vehicle bridge across the lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Such a bridge would facilitate movement back and forth, not only for folks living, working or visiting the university,â&#x20AC;? Durkee said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but for members of the

community who would like easier access to the lands and walkways on both sides of the lake and along the canal.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Liz Lempert, who attended the forum, said there were no â&#x20AC;&#x153;major surprises from whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already been reported.â&#x20AC;? It is unclear, at this stage, to what degree she will have a voice in helping influence the campus plan, given she is conflicted out of land-use decisions involving the university because her husband, Ken Norman, is a professor there. Asked if there will be eventual public acceptance of the golf course being developed, she replied: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a clear vision put forward as to what would be there. So I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult for people to have any strong reaction â&#x20AC;Ś, at this point, until thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better sense of what might go there.â&#x20AC;?

PDS lacrosse teams rule Prep B By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

The Princeton Day School lacrosse teams are as good as it gets in Prep B this season. In fact, both the Panther girls and boys teams have made a habit of being as good as it gets in Prep B lax lately. The PDS girls captured their third straight Prep B title with a 1913 win over Montclair Kimberley Academy on Tuesday. One day later, the Panther boys made it two straight Prep B titles and their third in four years with an 11-2 win over Rutgers Prep. The boys capped off a second straight year of winning both the Prep B and Mercer County Tournament titles behind four goals and two assists from Elon Tuckman, as well as three goals and three assists from Will Brossman. “We just kept playing our game on offense and making stops on defense,” said Brossman, part of a senior class that came away with five titles in four years. “We really executed which is what we had to do. We went in knowing we had to possess the ball. “The best part of it was fitting into different roles. Last year I was a utility player. I was a shooter and we had a bunch of senior guys who would come up big. This year I stepped into the captain role and it was nice to be able to rely on some of the younger guys.”

Pictured are members of the Princeton Day School boys lacrosse team, which captured its second straight Prep B state tournament title with an 11-2 win over Rutgers Prep on Wednesday. After posting a 10-2 win over Newark Academy in the semifinals of the Prep B tournament, the Panthers broke open a close game with a huge second period against Rutgers Prep in the final. The Panthers have enjoyed great team success over the last four years while turning over the roster in the process.

“It’s something that you don’t notice until you are a senior in high school, that the team is ever changing,” Brossman said. “My mom is always talking about how she doesn’t recognize some of the guys on the field because we are constantly graduating kids. Coach (Rich) D’Andrea does a great job of meshing everyone together and

making sure the chemistry is always good. We’re all brothers on this team. “I think we have a bunch of guys who are going to step up next year. I think we have this mentality of winning and brotherhood and I think that will stay true even after we graduate.” See LACROSSE, Page 11

Freshman Venizelos helps Hun reach final By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

Before the season began, Gigi Venizelos wasn’t sure what sort of impact she would have on the Hun School softball team. But as the Raiders made their way through a season that included a Mid Atlantic Prep League championship and a trip to the state Prep A finals, the freshman has played a huge role in the team’s success. “The team is a very inviting group of girls, so it wasn’t very difficult to fit in,” said Venizelos, who converted from third base to shortstop to give the Raiders stability at a key position in the infield. “And the captains were very supportive of the freshmen so it was easy to fit in. We had winter training and went to Florida before the season so I got to know the rest of the team well. “In the beginning it was a lot of pressure, but I settled down. I came over from playing third base in travel so I had to learn a new position. But I am learning that I really like shortstop. I am really liking it.”

Hun captured a MAPL title and advanced to the Prep A final with a 5-2 win over Peddie on Tuesday. With the win, the Raiders were scheduled to face Blair for the state title. The meeting was going to be the third this season between the two teams, Blair winning the first meeting and Hun taking the second meeting. In the win over Peddie in the semifinals, Alana Pearson tossed a two-hitter and struck out 14 to earn the win on the mound. Pearson also had a big role in the offense as she finished with three hits and drove in a pair of runs. Venizelos had a hit and drove in a pair of runs, while Julie Fassl had two hits. “I have been ecstatic with how we have been playing this season,” said Venizelos, a Hopewell resident who plays for the Jersey Outlaws travel team. “In the beginning of the year our coach had us write our personal and team goals and everyone’s team goal was to win MAPL’s and states.” The Raiders have gotten a big boost from their freshman shortstop, who has settled ito her new position and helped give the de-

I moved her to short and it has been a godsend. She is one heck of a third baseman. She is not afraid to play any-

where. She does a nice job for us with the bat also.” Hun has won 13 of 14 games after opening the season with a loss at Blair. The Raiders were riding a nice streak as they prepared for the Prep A final. “Alana has been doing a nice job on the mound,” Quirk said. “We have been playing good ball.”

Princeton High's Simon Hwang earned a draw in his second singles match during the Little Tigers loss to Summit in the North Jersey, Section 2 Group III tournament quarterfinals.

ough, Vishnu Joshi posted a 6-1, 6-1 win over Max Kim at first singles, while Ishaan Ravichander was a winner at second singles and Mark Fridman picked up a win at third singles. The Cougars also swept the doubles as Chris Guo and James Hopper won at first doubles, while Liam Lynch and Phillip Szkudlarski won at second doubles. Montgomery, which improved to 17-0, lost just 11 games in the match. Princeton, the No. 4 seed

in North Jersey, Section 2 Group III, dropped a 3.5-1.5 decision to fifth-seeded Summit in the quarterfinals on Tuesday. Kevin Yang picked up a win at first singles for the Little Tigers, topping Thomas Shung, 6-3, 6-1. Princeton earned a half point at second singles when Simon Hwang’s match with Alexander McDonald was declared a draw once the team outcome was decided. Princeton fell to 14-5 on the season with the loss.

PDS has built a winning culture that has seen the players on the field change, but the success stay the same. And that is something the Panthers would like to see continue. “These guys have really bought into taking ownership of this thing and you can see that humble but winning attitude has made its way into the program,” D’Andrea said. “(Peter) Higgins does a great job with the middle school guys and that is prevalent with these guys as well. “The dynamic changes every year. We have been fortunate to string some talented classes together. I think that is the tell of a lasting power of a program. We have been fortunate to put together several strong seasons in a row.” PDS finished 14-2, losing only to Lawrenceville

and Springside-Chesnut Hill this season. “We try to load up on those big prep teams at the beginning of the year and we play some great Mercer County talent as well.” D’Andrea said. “MCTs and Prep B at the end of the year is when we try to peak and put it all together.” The Panther girls have also managed to peak at the right time the last three years, winning the Prep B title each season. In the win over MKA, Morgan Mills finished with eight goals and three assists, while Madison Mundenar added seven goals. “It was exciting to be playing my last game at PDS, but at the same time it’s incredibly sad to be leaving the program, especially after four years,” Mills said after the win. “I feel I have grown as a player and watched the team grow.

Winning three straight titles cements the Panthers as the best there is in Prep B “It means the world to these kids,” said PDS coach Jill Thomas, whose team finished 10-4 on the season. “When you start thinking about the season in the winter and you have this date on your calendar and when you get there and you have a chance to win it it’s still special. “I’m really happy for the girls. We knew what we wanted to do and they were a good team.” The defense, led by senior Abby Atkeson, played a huge role in the win as well. “I am so proud of my team that we got to this point,” Atkeson sad. “I am so happy for my team and that we were able to do it three years in a row is pretty incredible. It was a lot of hard work from these girls.”

Power and Humanity McCarter finishes its season with ‘Intimate Apparel’ Photos by T. Charles Erickson

By Bob Brown

or its final play of the 2016-17 season, Princeton’s McCarter Theatre offers a gem. Lynn Nottage’s play about the unremarked lives of New York’s humblest, circa 1905, strikes all the right notes. “Intimate Apparel” weaves threads of varied colors into a complex fabric whose sheen flashes and fades with the hopes and disappointments of its people. Jade King Carroll’s brilliant direction evokes a perfect balance of characters and situations. You’re always on the edge, never knowing what’s next. The play’s main character, Esther (Quincy Tyler Bernstine), is a plain-Jane seamstress pushing 35 who scrapes out a living in a lower-Manhattan tenement. Bernstine gives a heart-rending performance as a woman of color who is exceedingly modest and self-deprecating. Certain that her homeliness will never win a suitor, she’s resigned to a solitary life creating fancy undergarments for prosperous ladies whom nature has favored more. A case in point is Mrs. Van Buren (Kate MacCluggage): white, privileged and fetching in a very pretty undergarment that highlights Esther’s skilled handiwork. The two seem worlds apart: Esther shy and deferential, Van Buren bold and confident — or so it seems. The two actually share a special loneliness that reveals itself in the second act. Esther’s landlady, Mrs. Dickson (Jessica Frances Dukes) has had her own experience with men and marriage. She’s a booster who’s constantly bucking up her most-enduring tenant, 17 years and counting. But it’s not until Esther receives a letter from a stranger in Panama that she begins to think her life might take a turn. George (Galen Kane) labors long, hot days, digging the world’s biggest ditch between two oceans. He, too, is lonely and longs for companionship. His writing is plaintive and poetic. He seems a gentle, Christian man, someone who just might be right for Esther — although

she has to take that on faith. Being illiterate, she asks Mrs. Van Buren to read George’s letters, and to respond on her behalf. It’s a task her white friend takes on with relish. Before you know it, Esther has agreed to marry George, sight unseen. One of the play’s more humorous scenes is the wedding night as two strangers fumble for the right moves. Esther breaks the awkwardness to give George a special gift — a gorgeous, red-silk jacket she has tailored from embroidered Japanese fabric. The silk cloth was a special purchase from her regular supplier, Mr. Marks (Tasso Feldman), an East-European Orthodox Jew. The Esther-Marks relationship is very deftly portrayed by Berstine and Feldman. It has a subtle romantic undertone that is always on the verge of breaking out into the open. The two share a love for fine fabrics and a respect for godly values that binds them closer than any other characters — despite their racial and ethnic differences. Their actions are guided by firm values. Esther’s piano-playing friend Mayme (Jessica Frances Dukes) has come to the city with the same aspirations as Esther, although her body is her ticket to financial security. She’s brassy and sassy and grabs life in a way Esther fears. The two women share stories and confidences, a lot more than Esther can imagine. Ironically, although they are cut from the same cloth, their lives take very different shapes. And what ties it all together is the fateful Japanese jacket. This play is so seamlessly crafted and performed with such understatement that its power and humanity overtake you unexpectedly. While it portrays social issues, the character’s lives and stories are the play’s essence. Every character is distinct and fleshed out in a way that gives them life well beyond caricature. It’s an outstanding cast, with Berstine especially moving as Esther.

Although the story is bittersweet, there’s plenty of humor, and a dash of ragtime. Alexis Distler’s set design, an open, two-story scaffolding, clearly marks out the different spaces for each of Esther’s interactions. And what would a play about intimate apparel be without great costumes? Dede M. Ayite’s designs show us an underview of things before Victoria had a secret. “Intimate Apparel” is the kind of play you wish all plays were — great story, great acting, great sets and costumes. It’s an all-around great evening of theater.

“Intimate Apparel” continues at the Berlind Theatre in the McCarter Theatre complex, 91 University Place, Princeton, through June 4. For tickets and information, go to www.mccarter.org or call 609-258-2787.

IN CONCERT By Keith Loria

A Love Letter to Judy Seth Sikes will sing the songs of a legend at the Rrazz Room in New Hope

rowing up on a small town in Texas, Seth Sikes discovered Judy Garland on TV. “Unlike most people, whose love for Judy started with ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ my love affair with Judy began with a movie called, ‘Summer Stock,” Sikes says. “Here I am a little boy in rural Paris, Texas seeing this lady driving around a tractor singing songs and I was mesmerized by her.” Garland sings the iconic “Get Happy” in the movie, and it quickly became Sikes’ favorite. From there, he started watching every Garland movie he could find and learned his aunt had VHS tapes of the legendary performer singing. “So, while other kids my age were listening to age-appropriate music, I was watching these old movies and singing these old songs around the playground,” Sikes says. “I knew I needed to get out of there.” His original plan for a career was to become a band director, since he was well versed in both drums and trumpet. However, that dream took a detour late in high school, when he became involved in the choir and starred in his school’s musical. “I totally forgot about band and realized I needed to be in the theater world, and that meant going to New York as quickly as possible,” Sikes says. “I moved there when I was 18, went to acting school, but realized

Seth Sikes’ love of Judy Garland began when he saw her sing on television. I didn’t want to be an actor, although I still loved the theater.” He took a job as an assistant director for a while, but realized he really missed singing. “I would get my fix by singing old standards at piano bars, and after not being on

stage for about a decade, I got the nerve to do a tribute concert to Judy, which was supposed to be a one-night only event I was going to do for friend, and people really liked it,” Sikes says. “It started getting reviews, and a following and I haven’t stopped since.” He performs his “Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland” regularly, and will bring the show to the Rrazz Room in New Hope, Pennsylvania, May 20. “The show is a journey of my life-long obsession with Judy Garland,” he says. “How her songs led me to a life in show business and led me to New York and her music has helped me get through various ups and downs in my life.” Thinking back to his original interest in the woman who most famously played Dorothy, Sikes feels his interest is a bit different than other fans of Garland. That’s why his show is a bit different than other tributes. “A lot of people like to talk about her survival and how she overcame all these rough times, but I never concentrated on any of that because when I first discovered her, I didn’t know about any of that,” he says. “To me, she was just this mesmerizing person with this voice that was overwhelming. In addition to continuing to sing cabaret, Sikes has been busy in New York. He directed the original musical “Bunked!”

which won Outstanding Musical at the New York International Fringe Festival and also directed the well-received “The 7th Annual Broadway Beauty Pageant.” He’s also recently performed both a Liza Minnelli tribute and a Bernadette Peters tribute. “I’m sort of becoming known as the boy who sings these tribute shows of these iconic ladies,” he says. “One of the exciting things about coming to New Hope is I haven’t done the Judy show in a couple of years. I’ve added some new material and I’m really looking forward to revisiting Judy’s story.” One of his favorite things about doing what he does is introducing new audiences to the songs of Judy Garland. “I’ll have young people come up to me and tell me that they’ve been listening to her songs since seeing my concert and that means such a great deal to me,” he says. “I think people when they see someone is singing Judy Garland, especially a male, is that they assume it’s an impersonation or a drag thing, but that’s not what this is. It’s me singing the songs, but not a hint of that. There is no cynicism involved. It’s an utter love letter to her.”

“Seth Sikes Sings Judy Garland” will be performed at the Rrazz Room, 6426 Lower York Road, New Hope, Pennsylvania, May 20, 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $25-$35; www.therrazzroom.com; 888-596-1027.

STAGE REVIEW By Anthony Stoeckert

Rolling the Die With ‘Clue’ Bucks County Playhouse presents a mystery-comedy based on the movie, based on the board game

lot of comedies hit their high notes early on and have trouble maintaining the laughter as the show goes on. “Clue on Stage” does just the opposite. For much of its 90 minutes, the play is pleasant enough, and offers a few laughs, but it’s nothing special. Then there is an inspired bit at the end that drew howls from the audience. I don’t want to say much about that moment, but I will say it is a tour de force for Carson Elrod, who plays Wadsworth, the butler (of course there’s a butler). This is a character who is very proper and formal throughout, and when Elrod gets his moment to let it all hang out, he does it brilliantly. He expresses shock, frustration, gets ridiculously emotional over a cat, and throws in a line that is right out the day’s headlines. Of course, there’s been a lot of news since I saw “Clue” and that joke about the FBI already is outdated, but maybe Elrod will have something else up his sleeve. The play is based on a movie, which was based on the board game. The setup is classic: On a foggy night in 1954, a group of people who don’t know each other (for the most part) are invited to Mr. Boddy’s New England mansion. None of them know why, but one thing they have in common is that they’re all being blackmailed by their host (William Youmans, playing one of several parts). The guests are greeted by Wadsworth, who tells them (and the audience) just enough to keep the story going. Wadsworth appears to be a mere servant and is following his boss’ instructions. We’re shown the rooms from the game (the study, conservatory, kitchen, etc.) and also the weapons (revolver, candlestick, wrench, and whatnot).

The cast of mystery-comedy ‘Clue’ at the Bucks County Playhouse. The characters are all broad types. Colonel Mustard (Kevin Carolan) works at the Pentagon, but is a bit dim, it takes him a few seconds longer than everyone else to figure things out. Mrs. White (Erin Dilly) is widowed, dressed in black but rather unsentimental about her two late husbands. Mrs. Peacock (Sally Struthers) is the wife of a congressman, and is prone to taking bribes. Mr. Green (Brian J. Carter) is a government employee, who’s fearful that his homosexuality could cost him his career. Miss Scarlet (Lindsay Nicole Chambers) runs an escort service in Washington, business is good since there are 535 members of

Congress, and they’re all married. There are a few murders, and I think the show misses an opportunity to bring some suspense to the evening. Comedy is the order here, and writers Jonathan Lynn (who’s credited as the author of the screenplay) and Eric Price and Hunter Foster (credited as contributing “additonal material,” Foster also directs) keep the show light and airy, but I don’t think a moment or two of suspense would have thrown off the pace. The are some humorous bits, such as Struthers gulping down soup everyone else finds inedible, and a Yiddish-inspired dance number led by Duncan’s Professor Plumb. But this show has the thinnest of plots, so thin it’s just 90 minutes and it still includes a bit where the characters run around to Benny Goodman’s “Sing Sing Sing” (an amazing piece of music, but my goodness, it’s so over-used). There’s also a lot of running around, and even a re-cap of the plot that leads to the great payoff at the end. The sets by Anna Louizos are terrific. Boddy’s mansion is massive with multiple rooms, and walls move swiftly to create different rooms. Lighting by Ryan O’Gara creates a mysterious, foggy look at times. There are a few nods to the board games, including secret passages, and a joke about Monopoly. My favorite is that a dossier in an envelope that looks like the one that comes with the game.

“Clue On Stage” continues at the Bucks County Playhouse, 70 S. Main St., New Hope Pennsylvania, through May 21. For tickets and information, go to www.bcptheater.org or call 215-862-2121.

IN CONCERT By Anthony Stoeckert

Strike Up the Blawenburg Band

As Jerry Rife puts together the program for the Blawenburg Band’s annual anniversary concert, he makes sure to include music audiences most likely aren’t familiar with. For example, for this year’s concert, the conductor selected the overture from Friedrich van Flowtow’s opera “Stradella” and Percy Aldridge’s “Australian Up-Country Tune.” No Blawenburg Band concert would be complete without the music of John Philip Sousa, and this year’s concert will feature the legendary bandleader’s “University of Illinois March” and “Wisconsin Forward Forever.” Playing these lesser-known works helps the band cele-

brate in style, and also builds its repertoire as it heads into its busy summer season, but Rife says there is another reason. “It also has a third purpose, I would say, and maybe this is one of the most important ones, maybe more important than the other two,” he says. “And that is that it educates our audience about the lost music of the golden age. The music you don’t get to hear — the ‘Stradella’ overture, the ‘Australian Up-Country Tune’ or the marches of Sousa that you don’t know.” This year’s concert marks the Blawenburg’s 127th an-

nivesary, and will take place May 21 at Hopewell Valley Central High School’s Performing Arts Center in Pennington. These annual concerts began in 1990 to mark the band’s 100th anniversary. The members of the Blawenburg Band (of which there are about 75) continue a tradition dating back to the days where towns had their own bands to provide live entertainment. “I like to program music based on the golden age of concert bands,” Rife says. Those typical programs would include an overture, an

IN CONCERT Continued from Page 3 opera overture, marches, shorter pieces, and a big piece to close out the first half. The second half would then feature patriotic music. Rife especially likes to include lesser-known works by Sousa. Blawenburg concerts traditonally end with Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever,” but Rife also make sure to include lesser-known pieces such as “Wisconsin Forever Forward.” “It’s one you don’t get to hear, you know he wrote 136 marches and you only hear the main ones,” Rife says. ‘We play those too, but we like to play the ones that are really good but you don’t get to hear too often.” As rooted in tradotion as it may be, the Blawenburg Band isn’t stuck in the past.

Fighting for big ideas Joan Bartl is part of the movement aimed at creating a public bank for New Jersey The connection between fighting against “Dick-and-Jane” gender stereotyping and fighting for a public bank in New Jersey is a fighter called Joan. A resident of Princeton since 1968, Joan Bartl is known as a tireless advocate for causes intended to improve the lives of those living in her community. Using weapons of passion, energy and intelligence, she has fought to end hunger, to end gender stereotypes, to end domestic abuse, to end civil rights abuses, and most recently to begin a new era in New Jersey public financing by establishing a public bank. Working as a volunteer, Bartl is the coordinator of Banking On New Jersey, www.bankingonnewjersey.org), a non-profit citizens group created to educate and coalesce support for the creation of a public bank in New Jersey. The goal of a public bank is getting the best use out of public money to serve the public good, according to Bartl. Public banks invest municipal dollars locally for community benefit. The website defines the mission as “bringing the value of a municipally owned public bank to New Jersey. We envision a public institution managed professionally, guided by strong citizen oversight, and accountable to the public as its only stockholders. The bank will have flexibility to support current community needs and foster resilience in the face of economic and natural hardships. We promote a bank that works in partnership with local banks, credit unions and community development financial institutions to make loans in our local communities.” With a professional background in finance and marketing, Bartl for the past quarter century has served as president of her own credit card processing business, called Payment Management. Her advocacy for a public bank, therefore, was born out of her fiscal sense, as well as her moral and community sense. The first time she merged finances with community service was decades

ago, when her knowledge and advocacy on gender equality issues brought her and five other women with whom she worked consulting jobs, as well as proceeds from children’s books they co-authored. “Any income I got from consulting or book sales, I would put into a savings account,” she said. “I saved $17,700 and got 5 percent interest — which I used as the down payment on my first house in Princeton.” This was not only a great investment for her, but also for the public good, because it kept Bartl in town. Bartl works collaboratively on public banking advocacy with the national public banking organization, the Public Banking Institute (PBI). This educational non-profit works to achieve the implementation of public banking at all levels of the American economy and government. PBI’s board chair, Walt McKee, lives in New Jersey, and often accompanies Bartl to “friend-raising” meetings and discussions about public banking. North Dakota is the only state with a public bank, but interest throughout the country is growing. Bernie Sanders has just thrown his support behind establishing a public bank for Vermont. Gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy has made the issue one of the central themes in his campaign. Murphy says he would like to see a state-owned bank that would allow college students and small businesses to access loans at more equitable rates than those charged by profit-driven commercial institutions. Accustomed to seeing Bartl fight on behalf of society’s most vulnerable, I was at first a bit puzzled when I learned she was advocating for a project seemingly removed from the segment of the population that for years se felt so compelled to serve. In fact, Bartl said, “it is my commitment to individuals struggling with a number of fiscal and social issues that got me involved in public banking. It struck me as the only sustainable way to finance the initiatives whose future always seems in peril

Joan Bartl is a volunteer for a group that’s building support for a public bank in New Jersey. because of funding issues. . . . A public bank working in partnership with community banks ensures that local money works locally and stays local, supporting development and businesses that build up our neighborhoods and increase our common wealth.” I never got a chance to ask Joan how a public bank would preserve the single most important aspect of my life — getting my morning coffee. The computer meltdown that closed

Starbucks stores throughout the Mercer region and maybe beyond on May 16 made me feel helpless and disoriented. I assume a public bank would be powerless to solve the social issue of caffeine-deprived vulnerability. But knowing fighter Joan Bartl as well as I do, I would rule out nothing. She welcomes all other questions about the public bank concept. You can email her at joanbartl@bankingonnewjersey.org.

The Role of a Young Lifetime Kaila Jones is dancing the lead in the Princeton Ballet School’s ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ By Anthony Stoeckert Features Editor For its annual spring ballet, Princeton Ballet School is performing Tchaikovsky’s “The Sleeping Beauty.” The school rotates the ballets it features in its spring production, and this year marks the 60th anniversary of the first time it danced “The Sleeping Beauty.” There’s something else that’s special about this year’s production because Kaila Jones is dancing the lead of Aurora, which is considered a pivotal role for dancers. Kaila also is the first African American student to dance the role for Princeton Ballet School as it presents “The Sleeping Beauty” at Patriots Theatre at the War Memorial in Trenton, May 20. Kaila, who is 16 and is a junior at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South, started dancing when she was 4 years old. “My sister had danced with Princeton Ballet School, and my mom decided to put me into ballet as well to expose me to different activities,” Kaila says. “She enrolled me in a twoweek summer program and after that I continued with ballet and gave up gymnastics — ballet was just too fun to resist!” Kaila is a member of the school’s Professional Training Program. Her featured roles include dancing the lead in last year’s spring ballet of “Swan Lake.” Pamela Levy, the director of Princeton Ballet School, says she was impressed with Kaila when she first saw her dance last year. “Kaila’s dancing immediately caught my eye,” Levy says. “She simultaneously exudes both strength and delicacy in her dancing, while remaining musical and precise. As Aurora in ‘The Sleeping Beauty’ she is as close to perfection as one can be. Like Aurora, she is 16 years old, and portrays the role with the joie de vivre of her character. Kaila’s hard work and dedication to ballet brings her closer and closer to a professional level. We are so proud of her.” Kaila said getting the opportunity

Kaila Jones danced the lead for the Princeton Ballet School in “Swan Lake” last year, and will play Aurora in “The Sleeping Beauty” this weekend. to dance Aurora means the world to her. “It’s been very challenging,” she says, “especially since I’ve never done something so physically demanding with so many acts where I am involved and dancing a pas, a solo, or even miming.” The school last performed “The Sleeping Beauty” in 2014. Kaila remembers it well and a dream she had during that production. “In the beginning of Act 1 the friends kneel and wait for Aurora to enter for her 16th birthday,” she says.

“The music starts out quiet and she walks out, and I remember kneeling in the silence hoping one day I might get to be Aurora and now that I am getting the chance it feels almost surreal. I’m beyond excited for the whole cast to perform, we‘ve all worked so hard and this show is so special to each one of us.” In addition to dancing the coveted role, Kaila says being the first black student to dance Aurora for the school is example of how ballet is becoming more diverse. “If I had to say something for

younger students who might be struggling with stereotypes — it can be easy to lose motivation when people expect you to dance a certain way or have certain features or qualities — it would be to work to achieve what you want to get out of the art form, not what others are expecting from you.” “The Sleeping Beauty” will be performed at Patriots Theater at the War Memorial, Trenton, May 20, 2, 7 p.m. Tickets cost $35; www.arballet.org.

Get the swing back in your golf game

Whether you have been golfing for years or are just starting out, swinging a club can take a serious toll on your body. In fact, thousands of people seek treatment for golf related injuries each year. University Medical Center of Princeton’s Outpatient Rehabilitation Network offers specialized therapeutic and rehabilitative services for golf-related injuries designed to improve flexibility, joint stability, endurance and conditioning so patients can get back in the game. Common golf injuries An estimated 32 million people played golf in 2016, according to the National Golf Foundation. And while golf is generally considered a low-risk sport, it is associated with a significant number of injuries. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 131,000 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms, doctors’ offices and clinics for golf-related injuries in 2015. Most golf-related injuries are the result of improper technique or overuse. Less often they are caused by a single direct blow, like hitting a tree root. Though to some swing-

ing a golf club may look easy, a golf swing is actually a complex and coordinated series of high-velocity movements that involve the entire body. These movements require serious muscle control and strength to allow your body to rapidly coil in one direction, then uncoil just as rapidly in the opposite direction. Not to mention the significant strength needed to appropriately decelerate and finish the swing. Over time, this repetitive movement can cause wear and tear to your muscles, tendons and joints and result in pain and injury. Some of the most common golf-related injuries include Low back strain. As the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) notes, low back pain is a common complaint among golfers, and is often caused by poor swing. The rotational stresses of the swing can place considerable pressure on the spine and muscles. Additionally, poor flexibility and muscle strength can cause minor strains that over time can lead to serious injuries. Elbow pain or “golfer’s elbow.” Golfer’s elbow is an inflammation of the tendons that attach your fore-

Taking steps to improve your health also can help improve your golf score. arm muscles to the inside of the bone at your elbow. These muscles and tendons can become damaged from overuse, leading to pain and tenderness. Rotator cuff tendonitis. Repetitive motions can cause the rotator cuff tendons to become irritated or damaged leading to pain, stiffness and limited movement. Wrist tendonitis or sprains. Wrist tendonitis typically occurs in the leading hand and will cause pain, tenderness and swelling. Plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is characterized by heel or foot pain caused by the weakening of the plantar fascia, the strong band of tissue that supports the arch of your foot. The prolonged walking and standing required with golf and ill-fitting golf shoes are

the main culprits. Specialized rehabilitation University Medical Center of Princeton’s Outpatient Rehabilitation Network provides specialized physical therapy services for people with golf-related injuries and for those who want to get back in the game after an illness or surgery. Patients (with a prescription from their doctor) receive an initial evaluation and individualized plan of care that includes strengthening and corrective exercises specific to their unique needs. In addition, the K-Vest — a wearable, biofeedback device — enables physical therapists to measure and assess your golf swing and customize your rehabilitation program to target specific areas and movements

that need to be adjusted. One of the best ways to prevent injury or re-injury is to ensure you have a solid swing technique. Other tips for avoiding injury or re-injury include the following: Maintain proper posture. Avoid hunching over the ball, which may contribute to back and neck strain. Don’t over-swing. Swinging the club too hard or too fast may stress your joints. Warm up. You should always warm up before a round of golf. The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine recommends that golfers of all ages adopt a specific routine of stretching and flexibility exercises that they perform before each round. In addition they should always hit some golf balls before a game, starting with the wedge and gradually working up to the driver. Maintain a good base of physical fitness. Stronger and more flexible muscles are less injury prone. Your exercise program should include stretching and strength training as well as regular aerobic activity to keep up your endurance for the course.

Lift and carry clubs carefully. When lifting your bag, keep your back straight and use the strength of your legs to lift. Choose proper footwear. Wear golf shoes that fit well and have short cleats. Short cleats can help prevent strain on you knees and ankles. Learn more Princeton HealthCare System, through its Community Education & Outreach Program, will host a discussion titled FORE!

. What do you see in the future of Real Estate sales and prices? A. The Real Estate market is steady in Princeton. As with any market, there is a constant movement and fluctuation throughout the year. The Spring Market is always hot but I see growth in re-sale prices and a boom in the demand for new constructions which of course affect the pricing of a neighborhood. Princeton’s location and vibrant community has allowed the real estate market to stay strong through the years, but the current influx of buyers has definitely raised the demand for homes!

To some, it is a little discouraging, to see old homes being torn down to build a new, but I think that it is a necessary step in helping the town’s Real Estate market flourish and overall growth.
