Lawrence High School says farewell, good luck to grads By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Lawrence High School seniors’ spirits were as high as the clouds in the sky on the afternoon of June 20, as they set off to chart their course for life after high school. The 320-strong Lawrence High School Class of 2018 gathered together for the last time at the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton, joined on the floor by nearly a dozen members of the Class of 1968 - the first class to graduate from the new Lawrence High School. As the Lawrence High School Concert Band played, the 11 men and women who graduated from Lawrence High School 50 years ago strode onto the floor, clad in distinctive yellow gowns. They led the procession of Lawrence Township Public Schools administrators, Board of Education members, faculty and staff. The seniors, clad in red gowns and mortarboard caps, waited patiently for their turn to enter the center court. Some students had decorated their caps with everything from the colleges they plan to attend, to simple messages such as “Four Years Later” and “Just Done It.” The band played the familiar “Pomp and Circumstance” as the seniors made their way onto the floor. Some smiled and waved to family members and friends, others mugged for the camera, and a few walked out purposefully onto the floor. Once her classmates had settled into their seats, class President Samantha Posluszny welcomed her classmates, their families and friends to the graduation ceremony - a day that was “a distant dream” on their first day as freshmen. The Class of 2018 is a class of milestones, not the least of which is being the first graduating class whose members were born in the

The graduating class of Lawrence High School celebrated the end of its high school career and what they would do next. Valedictorian Josh Drossman (right) was one of the people who delivered an address Wednesday. 21st century, Samantha said. It is the 50th graduating class from Lawrence High School, she added. Noting that members of the first graduating class were in attendance, Samantha called on them to stand up. She told them the Class of 2018 hopes it “has done you justice with our endless love for our school.” Turning to her classmates, Samantha asked them to take one last look at each other, because now it is time to fly from the cardinal’s nest. They will find other nests - maybe in a new state or a new town, she said. “Always remember to fly high and do big things, but never forget the cardinal’s nest you came from. As our first-year alums represent, no matter how far you fly, you will always be able to find your way back to this special nest,” Samantha said.

Two of the first-year alumni had special words to offer the seniors as they prepared to join the ranks of Lawrence High School alumni. Lawrence High School has prepared them to become leaders in their chosen fields, said Steven Groeger, a member of the first graduating class. He retired as Lawrence Township’s superintendent for recreation. Groeger reeled off a list of alumni who have made their mark - from Patricia Fiorella Russo of the Class of 1969, who was the chief executive officer for Lucent Technology and Eastman Kodak, to Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show” and Comedy Central fame. He graduated in 1980 as Jon Leibowitz. Glenn Myernick of the Class of 1972 played soccer professionally and coached the U.S. Men’s See GRADUATES, Page 3A

High School fêtes Class of 1968 after five decades By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

It was the year of mini-skirts, psychedelic music, the debut of the first Big Mac and Lawrence High School’s Class of 1968, its first graduating class. Five decades later, 11 members of the Lawrence High School Class of 1968 marched onto the center court at the Cure Insurance Arena Wednesday night, ahead of the Class of 2018 at the annual graduation ceremony. It was Lawrence High School Principal David Adam’s brainstorm to include the Class of 1968 in the Class of 2018’s graduation ceremony, along with help from class adviser Jeff Verga and secretary Kerry Roche. The decision to include the first graduating class came out of discussions about the 50th anniversary of Lawrence High School, Adam said. Until it opened, students attended Trenton High

School or Princeton High School, depending on where they lived in the township. “We thought it would be a nice way to honor the Class of 1968’s 50th anniversary and to continue the connection with our Lawrence alumni,” Adam said. Steve Groeger, who belongs to the Class of 1968 and still lives in Lawrence Township, agreed. The Class of 1968’s 50th anniversary is “pretty significant,” he said. “I think it is important to make a connection with the Class of 2018. It is a much different world socially, politically and economically, but it is still one big circle,” he said. Helen DeLorenzo, who traveled from Jackson Township to participate in the graduation ceremony, said that her high school years were “the greatest.” “I made friends with the girls and we still keep up...I always felt like a part of Lawrence High School,” DeLorenzo said.

During her 40-year career as a teacher in the Lawrence Township Public Schools, Pat Devlin received several grants for classroom projects from the Lawrence Township Education Foundation. Now Devlin, who was named to the foundation’s Board of Trustees earlier this month, will be able to return the favor by reviewing and approving grants for the current crop of teachers and students. “I want to give back what I received,” said Devlin, who retired from the school district in 2017. The lifelong Lawrence resident taught at the Ben Franklin Elementary School and the Lawrence Intermediate School. Since its inception in 1992, the nonprofit Lawrence Township Education Foundation has awarded more than $3.5 million in grants to teachers, funding more than 780 grants. The grants have paid for a reading nook for first-graders at the Slackwood Elementary School and iPads for special education and resource room students at the Lawrence Intermediate School, as

well as for artists in residence for the school district. Devlin said she is familiar with the grant-writing process and knows what to look for in a teacher’s application. And because she taught in several grades, she knows whether a proposed project is age-appropriate, she said. Devlin said she can encourage teachers to apply for grants for classroom projects, even if the teacher has never written a grant. She can walk the teacher through the process and offer encouragement to apply for another grant if the first application is not approved. The foundation provides a personal touch to the process, and it is that personal touch that appeals to her, she said. Sometimes, a grant application is impersonal, but not at the foundation, she said. “I always worked with other teachers, as a co-teacher,” she said. “Working through the foundation, I can continue doing what I did, brainstorming and lending support.” Devlin, who is one of two former Lawrence Township Public Schools teachers on the Board of Trustees, said she can help the other trustees as they review

a grant application. Someone without an education background might not see the benefit to a grant application, she said. One of Devlin’s own favorite classroom projects, which was funded by the foundation, involved having her fifth-graders learn how to write a book. The foundation supplied blank books and paid for her students’ transportation between the Lawrence Intermediate School and the Slackwood and Eldridge Park elementary schools. The students learned about the writing process and what it entails, she said. They learned how to describe a character and how to pull the story line together. When the books were completed, the fifth-graders traveled to the two elementary schools and read their stories to second-graders, she said. They told the younger children that if they worked hard, they could write a book, too. A couple of years later, some former students came to her and told her how easy creative writing had become for them because of that project, Devlin said. “What they learn often carries over,” Devlin said.

The electronic box connected between your ISP’s wall connection and your home network is almost certainly a router (providing Ethernet ports and WiFi access), or perhaps it’s a router with added capabilities (e.g., modem converting ISP connectivity to Ethernet). You’re hardly alone if you haven’t given it much thought, since it likely “just works”, year after year. But routers are complex devices: in fact, they’re computers running operating systems and applications! They’re therefore worth informed decisions about selection and configuration, and need occasional software updating or replacement to fix problems, improve performance, and (especially) close security exposures. This presentation will answer the question posed above and help understand and exploit router features. For more information, go to ppcug-nj.apcug.org.

Murphy makes bog turtles the state reptile after student push By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The endangered bog turtle became the official reptile of New Jersey, a designation that Gov. Phil Murphy came to a Princeton elementary school on June 18 to sign into law. Before a crowd of school children and others, Murphy sat inside Riverside Elementary School to sign legislation designating the tiny turtle of all of 4 inches as New Jersey’s first state reptile. “We have to look out for our environment,” the governor said along side some of the state lawmakers who sponsored the legislation to recognize the bog turtle. “If we don’t protect the bog turtle now, then someday we may have a New Jersey without any bog turtles. And we do not want that.” The bog turtle, designated as a threatened species by the federal government,

John Schneider of the Class of 1998 played professional baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays, Groeger said. “Success is not only measured by winning awards, accolades or honors,” he said. “It is completing what you started.

State. Sen. Kip Bateman (R-Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset and Hunterdon) sponsored legislation to give the bog turtle its new designation. The bill passed with bipartisan support, something Bateman in his remarks highlighted at a time when the state is facing a possible government shutdown with a deadline fast approaching to pass a budget. “It shows that you can work together, Republicans and Democrats,” Bateman said at the ceremony. “And bog turtles are not partisan. They’re bipartisan.” Another student speaker thanked lawmakers for passing the turtle bill. “We are very grateful Democrats and Republicans can come together and support this,” said Jeremy Wachtel, a Riverside fifth-

grader. A parent of one of the stu dents, speaking after the bill signing, touched on how her son and his classmates had worked for the legislation. “It’s emotional, because it’s a great memory for the kids and a great achievement for Mr. Eastburn,” said Sinthia Acevedo, mother of Jamie. Eastburn wore a green tie with turtles on it for the occasion. During the bill signing, Murphy gave him one of the pens he used to make the bog turtle designation state law. “The fact that we’re actually helping highlight a critically endangered species in the state that wouldn’t get attention otherwise,” Eastburn said afterward, “I mean, that’s really the greatest thing.”

can be found in 12 New Jersey counties, including Mercer, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Previously, the turtle had been found in most of the state. New Jersey has listed the turtle as an endangered species since the 1970s. “The greatest threats to the bog turtle are the loss, degradation and fragmentation of its habitat from wetland alteration, development, pollution, invasive species and natural vegetation succession,” the federal government has said. Another threat to the turtle, the government said, is the “illegal wildlife trade.” Murphy came to the school where the impetus behind recognizing the bog turtle started. Before the governor spoke, Jamie Acevedo, a Riverside fifth-grader, explained the history of how students in Princeton de-

cided to take matters into their own hands to make it happen. He said a science teacher at Riverside, Mark Eastburn, had come back from a workshop in North Carolina and told students that the box turtle, which Riverside has a population of, is that state’s official reptile. “When students realized

New Jersey did not have a state reptile of its own, we all decided this was a matter that needed our immediate attention,” Jamie said. Students at Riverside and Community Park School urged the state to act, with some even testifying before state Senate and Assembly committees on the issue earlier this year.

be in 50 years at the Class of 2068 graduation, someone will mention you and your success,” Groeger said. Joan Mitchell Galloway, of the Class of 1968, advised the students to focus on one task or issue at a time. She told them they will be OK and to enjoy and be mindful of the journey as it unfolds. “All who have come before you once sat where you are now, with a bunch of invisible thought bubbles over our heads, mostly question marks. (But) we found our way, individually and with the help of others,” Galloway said. Valedictorian Josh Drossman admitted he

Each day, you write a page. Sometimes, one gets ripped out and lost along the way as memories fade, but there is always a blank one ready to be filled in,” Josh said. “Every end is just the start of a new beginning. This might be an end to your days as a high schooler, but tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life.” Principal David Adam told the seniors that “we have had the opportunity in Lawrence Township to col-

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Friday, June 22, 2018

By Michele S. Byers

Like to jog outside? ‘Plog’ instead and keep NJ clean Have you seen unusual groups of joggers and runners breaking stride to pick up litter from the ground? They’re “ploggers,” part of a fitness trend that migrated to the United States from Sweden. “Plogging” combines the Swedish term “plocka upp” - meaning to pick up - with jogging. Ploggers are an increasingly common sight in Scandinavia and Europe. Here in the United States, plogging is now catching on among runners, joggers and fitness walkers who are tired of seeing their favorite parks, preserves and beaches marred by litter. Ploggers carry trash bags and scoop up items carelessly discarded by others. Timothy Chew of Hoboken learned about plogging earlier this year from a friend’s social media post and was immediately taken with the idea. “I thought to myself, “You know what, I’m going to do that,’ ” he said. Chew organized plogging runs in Hoboken parks on May 26 and June 9 and posted them on the Meetup website. He also recruited members of Free & Fit, a physical and spiritual fitness group he leads. The first plogging event immediately improved the appearance of the Hoboken waterfront. “We picked up 12

THE

bags of trash between the four of us,” Chew reported. Among the common items they found were plastic straws, coffee cups, cigarette butts, candy wrappers, diapers, snack packaging and old sheets of yellowed newspaper. “It’s exciting to be doing it, and I think others will follow suit,” said Chew said, adding that the plogging runs were well received by onlookers. “Some parts of the park looked like they had not been cleaned up in a long time.” The second Hoboken plogging event yielded another 10 bags of litter, and the next is planned for Saturday, July 7, at 10 a.m., meeting at the Jefferson Coffee Shop on Washington Street. “It’s always an incredible opportunity to serve the community we love and live in,” said Jenn Santiago, another plogger in the Hoboken group. “Plogging has many great benefits that include an intense workout, the opportunity to create community with others, and beautify the place we call home.” Chew also led a plogging walk for a youth group in Harrington Park. He said the kids alternated between picking up litter and having fun in the park’s playgrounds. “I think they really did appreciate the need to do this and got a good feeling from it,” he said. Depending on how much trash is on the ground, plog-

ging can be fast or slow. While plogging causes joggers to slow down, all the bending, squatting, lunging and lifting burns calories and works different muscle groups. In fact, the Swedish-based fitness app Lifesum, which helps users track plogging activity, claims that a half-hour of picking up trash while jogging burns 288 calories for the average person, compared with the 235 burned by jogging alone. If you like to run, jog or walk outdoors, you know how discouraging it is to see trash littering a beautiful landscape. Don’t get mad … do like the Swedes do and plog! Plogging is new enough in this country that there’s no website devoted to the activity. But if you want to find out more, check social media outlets – especially Instagram and search the hashtag #plogging.

Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy is unjust

Joseph Eisele

I write this letter as an educator of over 45 years serving children and the communities of Lawrence Township, Flemington Raritan, and Cranbury Township school districts as a teacher, principal, chief school administrator and completed my career at The College of New Jersey as Director Emeritus of the Office of Support for Teacher Education and Global Student Teaching. In those roles my number one responsibility was to protect the safety and wellbeing of all the children and staff entrusted to my care. I am outraged personally and professionally by the immoral “zero tolerance” immigration policies promulgated by the President of The United States, Donald Trump, his administration, and especially Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions and advisor Stephen Miller. Their decisions and policies now terrorize the children and parents seeking asylum at our southern border. Surely there exists a more humane approach to dealing with the issues of immigration. President Trump’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy on the southern border as set forth has legalized child abuse and the kidnapping of children. The Trump admin-

istration’s Gestapo tactics must stop immediately. These tactics are emblematic of some of our darkest moments in American and world history. Today, the public outrage and public shaming of the President Trump and his administration have finally caused the Mr. Trump to revoke his misguided policy through an executive order which he previously stated he had no ability to do. The problem is far from solved. However, we must never forget who created this humanitarian crisis. This is America. It has been a beacon of hope for the world for over two hundred years and despite the current policies and actions of the Trump Administration the goodness of this nation will prevail.

The Arts Council of Princeton’s third parklet officially opened Saturday, June 9, at its location in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street.

2018 Princeton Parklet Opens

he 2018 Princeton Parklet has opened. Returning to its original location in front of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street in Princeton, the Arts Council of Princeton had a successful launch of its third parklet on Saturday, June 9. Parklets are essentially public seating venues that use curbside parking spaces as its base of operation. Each parklet has a distinct design based off of what the host town or city deems necessary. The Princeton Parklets have always been works of interactive art. Debuting in 2015, outside of Small World Coffee, the first Princeton Parklet came about when Princeton mayor, Liz Lempert, and Arts Council of Princeton Director, Maria Evans collaborated to make a free and open public space out of unused parking spaces. The first parklet featured couches sculpted from elm wood, tree stump planters and stools, hanging rocking chairs as well as hanging pods to sit in. Each year the parklets are open from June to around mid-November. Due to a lack of funding, there was no parklet in 2016, while last year’s parklet was installed in front of jaZams in Palmer Square. The 2017 parklet was an interactive ‘energy playground,’ which brought out many children. “After the great experience we had last year with the jaZams’ Energy Parklet, and all of the energy features we built, this

year’s parklet will be more about relaxing with friends, unplugging for a brief time, and just enjoying the design of the structure,” said Maria Evans, Artistic Director of the Arts Council of Princeton and curator of the project. The 2018 structure is the same as the previous year’s, which uses solar, wind and hydro-power. The structure also uses water-powered cell phone chargers. Both structures were designed and built by Princeton architect, Joseph Hobart Weiss. Weiss added some new features to this year’s parklet including a green roof to “serve as an educational venue to teach the importance of water, soil and plants in our urban environment.” Weiss noted at last year’s parklet opening that he draws inspiration for his endeavors from the place and site of where each of his projects will take place. Sitting in front of its original location of Small World Coffee, Artistic Director, Evans has great praise for the host of her project. “Jessica Durrie, owner of Small World Coffee, is such a great host for the parklet,” said Evans. “She and her amazing team make sure the parklet stays clean and wellkept for the public. I’m certain this will be another great year for this beloved public art project.” The 2018 Parklet’s address is 14 Witherspoon Street, which is located in front of Small World Coffee.

Kelsey Theatre to present ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ W

illiam Shakespeare - medieval bard, classic playwright and Elizabethan comedian - has been regarded as one of the greatest composers of the English language. “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” a Shakespearean comedy that has received the brunt of criticism for more than three centuries, follows the story of a recurring rogue that has been incorporated amidst numerous of The Bard’s literary works. Theater company, Shakespeare 70, will showcase “The Merry Wives of Windsor” on June 22, 23, 29, 30 and July 1 at the Kelsey Theatre, which is located at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor. Shakespeare 70, now closing in on its 49th year of production, is a Ewing-based theater dedicated toward producing contemporary and classic plays. Janet Quartarone, assistant director of the “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” said the premise of Shakespeare’s late 16thcentury comedy centers on the happenings in the colorful Elizabethan town of Windsor, England. Falstaff, the play’s protagonist Quartarone described as an ageing, overweight knight who is “down on his luck,” is looking to obtain “a financial advantage” after attempting to court two married women he hopes to receive money from. After Falstaff sends identical love letters to the women in an effort to win over their already-spoken-for hearts, Quartarone said, the women decide to toy with the newcomer after they immediately forecast the rogue’s deceitful intentions toward his transparent effort to make a quick buck. “These are fun-loving, respectable women who have control over their husband’s wallets,” Quartarone said. For the women’s own amusement, she continued, the merry wives pretend to fall for Falstaff’s romantic advances, and end

Shakespeare 70 will showcase William Shakespeare’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at the Kelsey Theatre at Mercer County Community College in West Windsor on June 22-23, 29-30 and July 1. up playing humble pranks on the aging knight throughout the play’s entirety. Quartarone described the classic performance as “playful and whimsical.” “What you see is what you get,” Quartarone said in response to the infamously “inferior” Shakespearean work, as the play is most prominently known. “The Merry Wives of Windsor” has been critically reviewed as The Bard’s weakest play due to the absence of substance within the context of Shakespeare’s words. The comedic basis of the play is exempt from aspects of Shakespeare’s routinely inquisitive, rather thought-provoking themes, which are seen throughout his other works of romance, power and tragedy. Quartarone described Shakespeare’s

works of comedy as “a different kind of animal.” In a statement administered by Shakespeare 70, The Merry Wives of Windsor has said to have been “hailed for dramatizing the emergence of a new middle class, eschewing pretension and aristocratic authority, while championing female autonomy and the power of love to break down class distinctions.” Dale Simon, who plays Falstaff in the upcoming production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” brings humor and endearment to an otherwise timeless role, Quartarone said. “He (Simon) strove to make this character loveable. He really understands Shakespeare’s voice and enjoyed finding the nuance in this character,” Quartarone

said. Falstaff, who is said to be one of Shakespeare’s greatest comedic characters, has also appeared in the plays Henry IV and Henry IV Part II. Quartarone said it was Queen Elizabeth who (allegedly) presented a request to Shakespeare himself asking that Falstaff appear in a comedy, rather than tale of England’s history. Aside from the central storyline pertaining to a rogue’s insufficient romantic advances, the subplots themselves intersect within the tale of the recurring Falstaff, Quartarone said. “This is a very silly play. The characters have their own idiosyncracies.” With an opening night dating to 1602, the Shakespearean saga, as some might prefer to call it, has been produced and remastered over a period of centuries. In order to incorporate an individual take on an otherwise classic performance, Quartarone said, the “playfullness” of the performance is what is going to make the modern-day production memorable. After toying with different ways in which to give the performance new life, Quartarone said she wanted to experiment with different notions of transparency she said would add to the overall exuberance of The Bard’s classic, comedic production. Those in attendance will be able to see the transitions between individual scenes, as well as the play’s characters entering and exiting the stage, Quartarone said. Attendees will even be able to sit on the stage, where actors will playfully engage with those who choose to experience an up close and personal performance. “We really wanted to people up this play,” Quartarone said.

Count Basie collection to be displayed at Rutgers in Newark

he collection of jazz icon, William J. “Count” Basie Jr., is now in the possession of Rutgers University in Newark. The Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS), which is located on the Rutgers campus in Newark, announced this past week that it will serve as the site for the collection of Count Basie. Count Basie, a nine-time Grammy winner and first African American to win the award in 1958, is globally recognized for his work in jazz. The pianist, organist, bandleader and composer is still a recognized figure in American culture and music still, today, 34 years following his death in 1984. “It is only fitting that the Count Basie Collection will be housed at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies,” said Wayne Winborne, executive director of IJS. “The IJS has been long recognized as the world’s foremost archives and research facility devoted to jazz. Moreover, unbeknownst to many people, Count Basie was a native New Jerseyan, born and raised approximately 40 miles south of IJS in Red Bank.” “We will be starting with the paper based materials, like photos and things that go in boxes and are normal every day materials,” said Adriana Cuervo, the associate director of the IJS. “From there we will move on to artifacts and larger materials, like furniture. That’s how we plan to arrange and describe materials. We are still looking for a home, and physical space where we can slowly chip away and go through the process.” The Count Basie Collection, which includes over 1,000 artifacts. Including Basie’s pianos, Hammond organ, photos, correspondence, concert programs, business records and press clippings, will eventually be placed on display but the IJS officials have not yet set a date when it will be open for the public. The collection will also display Count Basie’s clothes, accessories, scrapbooks

Picture provided by Rutgers University-Newark, Institute of Jazz Studies

and some audiovisual material as well. The Collection will also consist of many belongings from Catherine Basie, who was William’s wife and life partner for over 40 years. “Although the materials cover the entirety of Basie’s lifetime, the collection represents the latter years of Basie’s life and career particularly well,” said Winborne. “Including a large number of accolades, Grammy awards, honorary degrees and proclamations.” Dan Morgenstern, the Executive Director Emeritus of the IJS, looked back on Count Basie and the times they shared together. “The first time I got to really see Count Basie in action was when I was privileged to be at a recording session with the band,” said, Morgenstern. “He had a marvelous sense on how to utilize space and time. He was a wonderful person with absolutely no side, he was really a regular guy, and in spite of his great acclaim, he was just a really warm and friendly person.” “We are extremely excited, grateful and humbled to be chosen to be stewards of the Basie legacy in the form of this collection,” said Winborne. “We are also happy to have a New Jersey native, come home, where his life and legacy can be celebrated locally and shared globally.” The Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank is named after the legendary musician.

Mercer County salutes police officers in annual affair

spotted Princeton Police Chief, Nick Sutter and two of his officers Detective, Adam Basatemur and Detective Sergeant, Ben Gering in Hamilton Township last week in the midst of a shoot – with cameras, not guns, pointed at them. They were among the 13 police officers taking part in a celebratory, rather than crisis, situation, during which the officers listened to words of appreciation for their acts of selfless bravery. An estimated 210 guests attended The 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, June 13, at the Stone Terrace in Hamilton Square to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers being honored for their bravery, skills, character, determination, and unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the county’s citizens. The particular incident that inspired the honor for the Princeton detectives, along with two other law enforcement colleagues- New Jersey State Police Lieutenant, Tom Wieczerak and New Jersey State Police Sergeant, Joe Itri, remains an engraved image on my psyche, because it occurred a little too close for my comfort. It took place a block from where I live, right next to my favorite institutional hangout – the Princeton Public Library, and a block away from Starbucks and Small World Coffee, where I derive all of my sustenance.

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B

As described by Princeton Police Chief, Sutter, on the evening of Jan. 24, Princeton Police Department Detective Sergeant, Gering and Detective, Basatemur, located a vehicle belonging to a suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in New York. The vehicle was parked on the top level of a downtown Princeton parking garage. The search of the area began in response to an alert sent by the New Jersey State Police. As the detectives approached the car to investigate, a male, identified as the wanted suspect suddenly ran from the car and jumped up on the parking garage wall, five stories above ground level. The officers made contact with the suspect who was now in a crouched position on the wall of the parking garage ready to jump. They began to negotiate with the suspect, when New Jersey State Police Lieutenant, Wieczerak and Detective Sergeant, Itri arrived and assisted in the negotiations. After an hour of negotiations in frigid temperatures, they eventually convinced the suspect to come down from the ledge. They continued to negotiate with the suspect in an attempt to get his surrender peacefully. As negotiations broke down, Sergeant Itri was able to take the suspect to the ground, in order to prevent him from fleeing or harming himself. The detectives and troopers took the suspect into custody. This suspect was wanted for a

An estimated 210 guests attended The 200 Club of Mercer County’s Annual Luncheon on Wednesday, June 13, at the Stone Terrace in Hamilton Square to pay tribute to the law enforcement officers being honored for their bravery, determination, and unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of the county’s citizens. “particularly heinous murder. If not for the actions of these officers and troopers, this individual may still be in the community or he may have successfully committed suicide,” said Chief Sutter. The 200 Club of Mercer County every year presents The R. Peter Hodge Valor Award to an individual who has committed an act of bravery, beyond the call of duty, and at imminent personal risk to their own life and safety. The club named the award in honor of its late founding board member Princeton resident Peter Hodge, renowned for a life devoted to helping others and for “his dedication and support of all first responders in our community….These honorees on the scene at these incidents, like so many safety and rescue personnel, put their own lives in danger to protect others,” said Greg Blair, president of the 200 Club of Mercer County. The actions of our officers on that day in January, said Chief Sutter, “exemplified the tenants of this award. They acted heroically and exceptionally to save a person’s life and bring a violent criminal to justice. Their actions represent the

work that our Princeton Police Officers do each and every day. I am thankful to work alongside such selfless, morally strong and professional people every day I come to work.” Nearly 40 years ago, The 200 Club of Mercer County, which costs $200 to join, was founded to provide financial assistance to the families of public safety and rescue personnel who have lost their lives in the line of duty. This includes the police officers (state, county, and municipal), correction officers, fire fighters, and rescue squad technicians of Mercer County. Crucial to its mission is the celebration of those first responders who have exhibited extraordinary courage and bravery under difficult or hazardous conditions. This year seven police officers received the R. Peter Hodge Valor Award, and six members of the Mercer County Special Task Force received a special recognition. Keynote speaker at the lunch was renowned Princeton resident - New Jersey radio (NJ101.5 FM), television (FOX TV affiliates), and comedy club personality Bill Spadea. In addition to the police officers

involved in the Princeton incident, the other recipients of the 2018 Valor Awards were: Trenton Police Officer, Freddy Jimenez; NJ state Police Detective, Rasheed Joaquin; and New Jersey State Police Sergeant, Curtis Sand. The 200 Club also presented a Special Recognition Award to the six officers of the Mercer County Task Force, who met gunfire, when they attempted to serve an arrest warrant - situation that led to a dramatic and life-threatening 36-hour standoff. The officers involved were: Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office Detective, Anthony Abarno; New Jersey State Parole Board Officers, Timothy Healy and Barry Volkert; Sheriff’s Detectives, William Perez, Joseph Tuccillo and Steven Niederer. Mr. Spadea, described by Club President Gregory Blair as a “tireless advocate on behalf of law enforcement,” every Friday morning on his 101.5 FM radio show highlights a member of local law enforcement as part of his regular #BlueFriday segment. He told the first responders “you have a voice (in Bill Spadea) that understands how difficult, how challenging your job is….You run towards gun fire, not away from it; you have incredible courage and integrity. Young people, in particular, and people of all ages need to better understand and appreciate what you selflessly do for others … My job is to broadcast continually your value… As long as I have a microphone, you have an advocate.”

Top 5 James Bond Movie Villains By Lori Acken, ReMIND Magazine

hat would Ian Fleming’s MI6 agent James Bond be without those memorable baddies to battle? Just a dapper guy with a tux, great gadgets, cool cars and Judi Dench’s M to keep him in line. Though 007 dodged dangers dealt by more than 100 sketchy souls throughout 26 films (and counting!), some have proved much more memorable than others. With a roster that long and colorful — and a fandom that spans generations and the globe — how folks prefer their Bond nemeses is as unique as the villains themselves. Maybe you’re partial to a creepycool physical abnormality (you with your robot hands, Dr.

No) or an ultra-extravagant lair (your mountaintop manse and volcano, Blofeld). Or maybe you’re more about quality mano a mano with Bond — or a stylish means to a kill. Since we relish all of it, these are our picks for Bond villain infamy. Auric Goldfinger Goldfinger (1964) Where do we start with the evildoer whose very name means “containing gold”? How about the fun fact that Orson Welles demanded too large a paycheck to play the golfing, gold-smuggling menace, so German actor Gert Fröbe stepped in (and, even though he knew just two phrases of English, completely owned the role). Or the part where the guy loves his gold so much that he decides to irradiate — but not destroy — the contents of Fort Knox with an atomic bomb to make his own glittering stockpile worth even more (a swerve from the Goldfinger novel). Throw in a host of other inventive kill tactics (toxic gas here, a lethal laser there and, of course, being smothered with gold), a henchman who could claim his own spot as a top Bond villain in the bowler-throwing Oddjob, and the most famous line in all of Bond-dom (“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!”) and we have ourselves a portly, dastardly bad guy bar none. Ernst Stavro Blofeld From Russia With Love (1963), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Never Say Never Again (1983) and Spectre (2015) A baddie so brilliant he was played by six different actors (Christoph Waltz, Charles Gray, Max von Sydow, Anthony Dawson, Donald Pleasence, Telly Savalas) and sent up in Mike Myers’ Austin Powers film franchise, the SPECTRE chief is inarguably Bond’s chief nemesis — dispatching most of Bond’s other tormentors to take him down, and sometimes dispatching them completely if the mission failed. Blofeld’s ability to change his appearance and his temperament made the role a cinematic playground for a variety of actors to leave their mark on the Bond franchise, which some — Pleasence, Savalas and Gray in particular — did to great effect. Scaramanga The Man With the Golden Gun (1974) Fleming’s cousin by marriage, Christopher Lee really wanted to play Dr. No, but got no for an answer — which ultimately worked out well. The titular “man with the golden gun” proved a perfect fit for the horror movie vet, who embodied the high-priced assassin in a way that thrilled the

book series purists. Planning to rule the world by harnessing the power of the sun (the U.S. oil and energy crisis was in full swing at the time) and encamped at a futuristic island lair purchased with his a-mil-a-kill asking price, Scaramanga had it all for Bond fans — a great gimmick, cool digs, a major challenge for Bond, and an equally scary henchman in the pint-sized terror Nick Nack, played with relish by a pre-Fantasy Island Hervé Villechaize.

Le Chiffre Casino Royale (2006) Though Casino Royale was Fleming’s very first Bond novel — making Le Chiffre the very first Bond villain — it took until 2006 for the blood-weeping, poker-playing tormentor to appear on the big screen in the form of Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen. Chilly, scary and heartless — his uniquely savage torture tactic is one of the Bond series’ most memorable — “The Cypher” made for the perfect villain to usher in the Daniel Craig era of Bond films. And though we tend to prefer our Bond baddies with grand plans for world domination and an equally jaw-dropping lair, that fearsome eye and his place as Fleming’s first — along with the part where no real Bondflick fan feels good about lounging in a wicker chair — earn the greedy, dirty banker his spot on our list. Rosa Klebb From Russia With Love (1963) Ya gotta love a gal with career goals — even if said career is nefarious business. The head of operations for SMERSH (a blend of two Russian words meaning “death to spies”) in Bond creator Ian Fleming’s novels, Lotte Lenya’s Klebb defected to the even more treacherous SPECTRE (that one’s “Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion”) in From Russia With Love. Klebb’s plot to steal the Lektor decoder that both SMERSH and MI6 covet was only undone when Bond bedded her comely corporal Tatiana, who takes out her boss before Klebb can fell 007 with poison-and-blade-spiked shoes. Leave it to a fatal femme to sport some literally killer shoes — and had Bond himself actually taken out the scariest dame in the Bond film catalog, we would have moved her further up the list. What About Jaws? Even folks who don’t watch Bond films recognize Richard Kiel’s towering, steel-chompered bad guy, who was such a hit in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me that producer Albert R. “Cubby” Broccoli brought him back for Moonraker a few years later. Though Jaws easily outshone his boss Karl Stromberg and had a seriously entertaining knack for survival, we’re docking villain points (but tipping our hat, just the same) to the fact that Jaws found love, redemption — and his voice! — by the end of Moonraker. Well, here’s to your heart, Jaws. But we liked you better bad.

Happy Days are here again... Is your vehicle ready for that Road Trip?

Fighting crime, and family time By Paul Hall

t’s been 14 years since we had a film featuring the first family of superheroes, but they are back and ready for action in the new animated film Incredibles 2 from director Brad Bird. Supers, as the superheroes are known, have been shoved underground. There is no place for them in society as the people are tired of the destruction they leave in their wake. The Incredibles just want to continue their mission to help those less fortunate, but when the superhero program is shut down once and for all, they must start a new life. Enter Winston Deavor (Bob Odenkirk) and his sister Evelyn (Catherine Keener). The two want nothing more than to return supers back to public acceptance. To do so, they enlist the talents of Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), mainly because she doesn’t leave PR nightmares behind like the messes that follow in the wake of Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson). So Elastigirl is off to work to save the supers while Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible’s alter ego) watches the kids. But who has the easier job? And will they succeed? Bob is left to manage moody teenager Violet (Sarah Vowell), speedy youngster Dash (Huck Milner), who is struggling with math, and baby Jack-Jack, who the family is just realizing might have a series of powers of his own. And Bob has never been the stay-at-home-dad type, but he must take over while Helen, better known as Elastigirl, is off trying to save the world

from the evil Screenslaver. Incredibles 2 provides us with a longoverdue sequel to the immensely popular original film, and the good news is, despite the 14-year time gap, it still works. The story of the film provides us with more of a narrative around growing up with your family than it does with crimefighting. Sure, we get some classic action sequences, but where the film shines is in the familial-relations category. The best sequences in the film focus around Jack-Jack’s growth and how the family handles it. Violet’s relationship that starts and quickly fizzles (thanks to a memory wipe of the boy she is to go on a date with) also finds a way to entertain while dealing with the real issue of adolescence for teenagers. Great topics and a great voice cast combine to produce yet another solid film. I was only let down by some of the animation, which felt almost unfinished compared to the depth present in the bulk of the story. I know there was probably a purpose for this, but at first glance it was distracting and seemed grossly out of place. I’ll fight crime any time with this first family of superheroes — just don’t make me babysit Jack-Jack. Paul’s Grade: B+ Incredibles 2 Rated PG Voices of: Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Sarah Vowell Director: Brad Bird

2017 Realtor® Of the Year – Mercer County

CRS, e-PRO, ASP, SRS, Sales Associate, Realtor Office: 609-924-1600

Here I am with my family. Jonathan, Abigail, Laurel, and my husband Tom.

Cell: 908-391-8396 | Email: donnamurray@comcast.net | www.donnamurrayrealestate.com

. Tell us about yourself. A. I grew up in a small town called Silver Creek, which is in the western section of Chautauqua County, NY, an hour past Buffalo on Lake Erie. I’m still a diehard fan of the Buffalo Bills. I then worked as a flight attendant for American Airlines for 18 years, traveling the world, before going into Real Estate.

. Tell us about your family. A. My husband Tom works for American Airlines as a 777 Captain Check Airman. He recently had the honor of serving as one of the four captains who flew Pope Francis during his U.S. visit. We have three children, who attended St. Paul’s School in Princeton and Notre Dame High School (’09, ’11, ’13) in Lawrenceville. Jonathan graduated Rutgers Engineering program and works for TD Securities, Abigail is a grad student at Rider going for a Masters in Clinical Mental Health, and Laurel is graduating Seton Hall in May 2017 and continuing there in the fall for grad school.

. What do you like to do for fun? A. I love taking our Cavalier King Charles dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, for walks on the many

253 Nassau Street Princeton, NJ 08540 609-924-1600

nature trails in the area. I also love to entertain and enjoy volunteering in the community. Most importantly, I cherish when my family of five can coordinate our busy schedules to spend some quality time together.

. What do you see in the future for Real Estate? A. Real Estate is continuing to change quickly with the times. More listings will have interactive floorplans, 3D virtual tours, aerial drone pictures, etc., and the industry will continue to find new innovations for enticing buyers. Buyers search online, wanting to be equipped with as much information as possible before choosing to visit a home, and I anticipate that trend continuing with the aid of technology.

. To what do you attribute your success in Real Estate over the past 20 years? A. I am patient with my clients and enjoy educating them on real estate in our area. I do my best to treat each client and property with the same care. I don’t believe in cutting corners when it comes to providing service or marketing a home as I would my own, no matter the size of the home or the price point. My motto is “From starter to stately homes, and everything in between.” I also maintain my knowledge of the ever-changing inventory, have excellent negotiating skills, and stay up to date on industry technology. Here are my two dogs, Shamrock and Sebastian, playing in our backyard.
