Litigation filed over Princeton-Cranbury school agreement By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education allegedly broke the state’s public meetings law in June in the way in which its members voted to extend an agreement for Cranbury students to attend Princeton High School, two residents claim in a lawsuit that seeks to throw out that vote. In their July 27 civil suit, husband and wife Joel Schwartz and Corrine O’ Hara said the board voted electronically, on laptop computers, rather than by having members raise their hand or through a voice vote, “or by any other method by which the public

could determine who had voted in the affirmative, who had voted in the negative and who had abstained … .” “By voting in this fashion, any one board member’s actual vote was sheltered and hidden from the public,” the couple alleged in the lawsuit that was filed in state Superior Court, Trenton. “Except for their physical presence in front of the public, the level of information provided to the public about the vote was the same as if it had been conducted in private— none.” School district officials hit back at the lawsuit and said votes are displayed to the public.

Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane, in a statement, said “all votes are made in public and recorded in real-time.” “The votes of individual board members are displayed on the large screen at the front of the board meeting room,” he said. “In addition, any member of the public can go to the BoardDocs website and see how each board member voted as soon as the vote is complete. “Mr. Schwartz has attended numerous board meetings and is aware of how individual votes are displayed,” Cochrane said. “If he had a question or suggestion regarding the voting process, he did

not voice that publicly or in the numerous private conversations he has had with me over the last several months. I wish he had. “There is a place for lawsuits and there is also a place for common sense and conversation. If Mr. Schwartz had a concern about transparency or wanted the results of a particular vote to be read aloud by the board secretary, he simply could have asked,” the superintendent said. The Princeton Packet live tweeted the vote tally on Twitter during the June 12 board meeting. Schwartz, who was at the meeting seated in the front row, said by phone on July 30 that he

“did not see anything.” “I’ll leave that for the judge to decide,” he said. “It’s a legal question. So I’ll leave that for the judge and for my attorney to comment on.” Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson has scheduled a hearing on the case for Sept. 27. “When the vote was taken, neither I nor any of the 30 or more people in the room were provided with clear information as to who voted and how they voted,” O’Hara said in a statement. “Furthermore, no official voting result was provided by the board until the meeting minutes were made

Mercer County 4-H Fair retains aspects of bygone years By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

The first Mercer County 4-H Fair, held on the grounds of Princeton High School in 1919, featured displays of chickens, pigs, rabbits and vegetables raised by young 4-H club members. Fast forward to the 100th annual Mercer County 4-H Fair, which was held July 28-29 at Howell Living Farm, Hopewell Township, and club members still showed off their prized rabbits, chickens and vegetables - along with exhibits of their photography, arts and crafts, and needlework projects. While the range of 4-H club members’ entries has evolved over the past century, what has not changed is the goal of the annual 4-H fair - to showcase the club members’ projects and to increase boys’ and girls’ interest in joining the 4-H Club program, said Chad Ripberger, the Mercer County 4-H agent. The abbreviation “4-H” stands for head, heart, hands and health, which represents the core values of independence, belonging, mastery and generosity. The 4-H program symbol is a four-leaf clover. “(The club members) develop a sense of independence, a sense of belonging and serving the community,” Ripberger said. The 4-H program is open to children in grades one through 12, and one year past high school. There are animal clubs, art clubs, community service and leadership clubs, and nature clubs. The Mercer County 4-H Fair is the oldest 4-H fair in New Jersey and grew out of agricultural fairs that were popular in the 19th century, Ripberger said. The fairs aimed to bring the newest farming techniques and practices to farmers, he said. But back to the Mercer County 4-H fair. Since its inception in

1919, the fair has moved from place to place around the county. It moved to the county-owned Howell Living Farm in 2008. While the 4-H club members’ exhibits were central to the fair, there were plenty of activities for children to sample during the two-day fair, including a hay ride in a horse-drawn wagon. In one tent, children could try to milk a goat - a wooden replica, not a real one - and they could shear wool off a (fake) sheep while 4-H club members watched and guided them. Visitors could learn what to feed a rabbit (hint, carrots and lettuce are treats, not the core of a rabbit’s diet). Young visitors could go for a pony ride, or they could have their face painted. They could even have a green 4-H symbol tattooed on their arm or hand. Temporary, of course. One of the more popular events was the pie-eating contest, but with a trick. Contestants had to eat a small slice of blueberry pie without holding it. They had to keep their hands behind their back. “Ready, set, go. This is an important skill. Lick, lick, lick, keep it going, keep it going,” Ripberger said as he encouraged the young contestants, their faces smeared with blueberry pie filling. Lambertville resident Kori Briggs was one of many visitors to the fair, along with her 18-month-old son, Odin. While most children and their families checked out the 4-H club exhibits, Odin had other ideas. Odin made it quite clear he wanted to play in a stream that runs through Howell Living Farm. He sat on the bank of the stream, and sometimes in it, and tossed pebbles into the water. Well, maybe next year he’ll be a little more interested in the fair.

Three men face drug charges following investigation By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Three Princeton men have been charged with drug offenses after police raided their Red Oak Row homes July 25, following a month-long investigation conducted by the Princeton Police Department and the Mercer County Narcotics Task Force. Oleksandr Linnyk, 26, and brothers Guillermo Velez, 19, and Andres Velez, 22, were charged in connection with a marijuana and acid (LSD) distribution network allegedly run by Linnyk, Mercer

County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri said. Detectives made several undercover purchases of marijuana and acid from Linnyk, and marijuana from the Velez brothers, Onofri said. The “buys” led police to obtain and execute several search warrants for their Red Oak Row homes. The search warrants were carried out July 25 by detectives from the Princeton, Hamilton and Trenton police departments, and the Mercer County Sheriff’s SWAT team, under the command of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Of-

fice’s Special Investigation Unit. Linnyk was stopped by police in Princeton. When a search warrant was carried out on him, police found him to be in possession of seven tablets believed to be acid. He was taken into custody. Andres Velez was arrested at a liquor store in Princeton and Guillermo Velez was arrested at the brothers’ Red Oak Row home. When police carried out search warrants at the Red Oak Row houses, they found 25 grams of a substance believed to be marijuana, $791 in cash and drug paraphernalia at the Velez brothers’

home. Police found about 10 grams of a substance believed to be marijuana, two acid tabs, three Xanax pills, one Suboxone pill and 10 grams of 2-CP, which is a synthetic hallucinogenic drug, at Linnyk’s Red Oak Row home. The drugs had a combined street value of $880. The prosecutor’s office filed a motion to detain Linnyk, but the Velez brothers were charged and released, pending a future court date.

The Princeton Packet 3A

Five school board hopefuls to run By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Five candidates will run for three seats on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education in a race where some of the candidates already are staking out positions on the nearly $130 million facilities referendum that may also be on the ballot. Mary Clurman, Daniel Dart, Brian McDonald, incumbent Dafna Kendal and incumbent Betsy Baglio entered the contest by the July 30 filing deadline. The election will be on Nov. 6, the same day when voters may decide a $129.6 million facilities referendum to build a new school and

meet other needs. In a statement announcing his candidacy, McDonald said he supports the referendum and hopes it passes. “I also am very sympathetic with concerns raised by residents who would have preferred more time for planning and even greater community engagement,” he said. Dart said on July 31 that he sees “a clear difference between the candidates.” In his view, Kendal, Baglio and McDonald back the proposed referendum and the agreement Princeton has with Cranbury which permits Cranbury residents of high school age to attend

Princeton High School. Kendal, however, abstained from the vote in June to extend that arrangement with Cranbury by 10 years into 2030. Dart has said he would vote against the referendum, and repeated his criticisms that it was a “rushed” proposal that is “needlessly expensive.” “I’m not anti-facilities referendum at all,” he said. ‚Ä®“I’m anti-this referendum because I thought it was rushed through without community involvement (and) is needlessly expensive.” Kendal and Baglio, seeking their second terms

Too hot to think? Studies show heat affects your brain orized information. The findings showed that during the heat wave, students who lived in the heat performed significantly worse than those who lived in air-conditioned dorms. The overheated students experienced decreased test scores across five measures, including reaction times and memory. Students in air-conditioned rooms were not just faster, but also more accurate. According to the Harvard study authors, future studies are needed to better understand how heat-related stress could impact larger populations, including the ability to learn, economic productivity and workplace safety. The second study, conducted by Stanford University professors and published in the July 23 edition of Nature Climate Change, suggests that hotter temperatures – a result of the changing climate – are leading to more suicides. The study used new methods to understand the relationship between temperature and suicide and depression. The Stanford study found that a one-

degree Celsius increase in average monthly temperature correlated with increases in the monthly suicide rate in the United States and Mexico. The study projects that unmitigated climate change could result in a combined 9,000 to 40,000 additional suicides across the United State and Mexico by 2050! These studies add to a growing body of evidence showing how heat affects our thinking and our mood. Here are a few others: • A 2006 study from researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab found that when office temperatures rise above the mid-70s, worker performance go down. Worker productivity peaks at about 72 degrees. • A study of high school graduation exams in the New York City public schools found that taking test in hot weather reduces passing rates. Scientific American just released a new animation, “Temperature Circle,” depicting a century of global warming in just 35 seconds. Bars representing 100 countries’

annual average temperature anomaly – blue for abnormally cold weather, red for abnormally warm - pulse up and down as 100 years pass.

cle and pedestrian trail in Lawrence and Hopewell townships, raises money to offset the maintenance costs through the Full Moon Ride. The fee for bicyclists is $20 and there is a $5 pre-registration discount if registration is made before Aug. 15. There is no fee for individuals who want to attend the event and who do not want to ride a bicycle, although a small donation is requested. The Full Moon Ride is the brainchild of Jay Watson, who volunteers with the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corp. During the day, he is the deputy director of the D&R Greenway Land Trust. “I am always looking for creative ways to introduce people to our amazing parks and open spaces throughout the state,” Watson said. “Hosting night events in the outdoors makes people see these places with a different perspective, and taps into a

segment that might not be regular visitors.” Watson said he started hosting meteor shower parties at Mercer Meadows Park during the annual Perseid meteor showers in August. Soon, it occurred to Watson that people enjoy being in the park under dark, star-lit skies and that was the genesis of the Full Moon Ride. It was something new and it quickly became a popular event, he said. It is not necessary to be a bicycle rider to take part in the Full Moon Ride and there will be plenty of activities to occupy young and old alike. Participants, bicyclists and non-bicyclists, can bring a picnic dinner, decorate their bicycles, watch a movie on an outdoor screen, or just enjoy a campfire. The band Sounds of Sandstorm will play blues, jazz and contemporary music. For bicyclists, the real fun begins

around 8 p.m. when the moon rises. Groups of 40 to 50 bicyclists will head out from the picnic pavilion and ride on the path around Rosedale Lake. The next segment of the ride takes them under “Firefly Lane,” so called because twinkling lights have been set up on a canopy above the riders. Then, they will pass lanterns floating on Dragonfly Pond. Classical musicians will play for the bicyclists as they ride past. The Full Moon Ride and its pre-ride activities are open to all ages, but bicyclists must be at least 12 years old to go on the ride. Helmets are mandatory for riders under 18, but are recommended for all riders. Online registration is available by visiting the Lawrence Hopewell Trail’s website at www.lhtrail.org/fullmoonride. The deadline is 5 p.m. Aug. 26, but late registrants will be accepted at the event.

During summer heat waves, you know your body will be hot and sluggish. But did you know that your brain is affected by the heat too? Two new studies show how heat waves and temperature spikes – which are expected to become more frequent due to climate change – are impacting our lives in surprising ways. In a new study by Harvard University, researchers found that extreme heat makes it harder to think! The study was published in the July 10 edition of PLOS Medicine as part of a special issue on climate change and health. In the study, researchers tracked 44 students living in college dorm rooms during the summer of 2016. About half of the students lived in air-conditioned buildings, while the rest lived without AC. Over 12 days – including a five-day heat wave – students took two tests each morning just after waking up. One test measured students’ cognition and their ability to focus. The second test measured how quickly students processed and mem-

Annual Full Moon Ride returning to Mercer Meadows Park Riding a bicycle on the path around Rosedale Lake is enjoyable, but it’s even more fun when it can be done at night under a full moon - and that is what bicyclists will be able to do later this month. The annual Full Moon Ride, which is the Lawrence Hopewell Trail Corp.’s signature fund-raising event, is set for Aug. 26 at Mercer Meadows Park, which spans Lawrence and Hopewell townships.

Democrats eyeing appointment to Mercer County freeholder seat By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

The soon-to-be vacant seat of Mercer County Freeholder Anthony S. Verrelli is being eyed by Democrats from around Mercer County, now that Verrelli is becoming a state assemblyman. Talk within party circles is rampant about who wants to climb the political ladder in a county where Democrats control all the levers of power.

factors could come into play in determining who gets selected. There has been speculation Democrats might push to have a Latino freeholder or for Trenton to have a second representative on the board, with Freeholder Samuel T. Frisby Sr. the only member so far from the capital city. One Democrat said this week there is a large pool of Democrats who would be interested in running for the seat, which Verrelli had not resigned from as of Aug. 2. “I think it’s going to be a wide open race,” Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes said on Aug. 1. “We are going to see a lot of people come out looking to fill the seat.” Hughes said he thought as many as 10 to 20 people want to run, with about 10 of those individuals considered “viable” candidates. “There’s an expectation there will be a lot of people calling around to gauge support,” Freeholder Andrew Koontz said on Aug. 1. Ewing Councilwoman Jennifer KeyesMaloney and Pennington Mayor Anthony Persichilli are among those saying they are considering seeking the seat. Both said they would make up their minds sooner rather than later. “I’m just having the conversations with my family as well as, in the coming days, the different town leaders,” Keyes-Maloney said on Aug. 1. If Keyes-Maloney were to be the candidate, she would seek to join a seven-mem-

ber board with two women and five men. “I want to see who else is interested,” Persichilli said on Aug. 1. “There’s some decent people out there.” Other Democrats whose names had been floated as possible candidates, like West Windsor Councilwoman Ayesha Hamilton, said they would not be running. “I’m not going to be involved in this race,” Hamilton said on Aug. 1. While Hamilton is not interested in the freeholder position, someone else from West Windsor said he is. Kamal Khanna, a former West Windsor councilman who spent four-and-a-half years on the governing body of that town, said on Aug. 1 that he is a candidate for the freeholder seat. “I have been a councilman before and I think this is a natural next step that I’d like to get into,” Khanna said. Khanna said he has been active in Democratic politics, both at the local and county levels, and sits on the Mercer County Improvement Authority. He said that in addition to being the first Indian-American freeholder, he would be the first member of county government from West Windsor, a community he said has been “neglected” by the “county people.” Roberto Hernandez, a Hamilton Township resident who is the president of the Mercer County Latino Democratic Caucus, said on Aug. 1 that he is considering running. He said he hopes to make up his mind by the middle of next week.

“I am thinking about it, but I want to take this to the community first,” he said. “I want to make sure I have their support, which is the most important thing.” The man Democrats are looking to replace on the county’s governing body is still a freeholder. Last week, Verrelli was chosen by his fellow Democrats to fill the vacant state Assembly seat formerly held by Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora. Verrelli defeated three other candidates at a convention of Democrat county committee members from the 10 towns in Mercer and Hunterdon counties that make up the state’s 15th Legislative District. It was not immediately known when Verrelli will join the Legislature or when he will resign his freeholder seat. He could not be reached for comment. Democrats want Verrelli’s resignation timed to avoid having his replacement have to stand for a special election in November. “One of the things we want to do is coordinate so we don’t have to have yet another election,” Hughes said. Verrelli, elected in 2016, is in the second year of his three-year term as a freeholder. In November, three freeholder seats will be on the ballot. If a fourth seat is on the ballot, control of the seven-member board would be at stake. Democrats hold all seven seats on the county’s governing body.

University programs under fire for Title IX complaints By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Two programs at Princeton University, including a self-defense course for women, are being probed by the federal government for alleged discrimination based on a complaint being filed. On July 28, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened a Title IX investigation for “gender harassment,” according to the department’s website. Title

IX is a federal law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex at schools that receive federal funding. No further information about the case was made available from the government. A Department of Education spokesman said on Aug. 2 that the department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) “does not discuss the details of its investigations.” The website Campus Reform, which was the

first to report the story, said the programs were a selfdefense course for women called Rape Aggression Defense and the Princeton chapter of Smart Women Securities, a club about investing. The complaint was brought by an unidentified man, but it was not clear from the report if he was a student or university employee. The Princeton Packet, which submitted a government records request for the complaint the man filed,

was able to independently confirm those are the two programs being looked at. “We are reviewing the two programs referenced in the OCR’s letter and appreciate the opportunity to respond in due course,” Princeton University spokesman Michael Hotchkiss said. “The university is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive learning environment on campus.” The university’s Department of Public Safety, which provides the Rape

Aggression Defense classes only to women, says on its website that the Rape Aggression Defense System “is dedicated to teaching women defensive concepts and techniques against various types of assault by utilizing easy, effective and proven self-defense tactics.” The federal government has another pending Title IX investigation at Princeton with a case, under the category of sexual violence, that opened on Aug. 11, 2016.

Princeton University is the second institution in the municipality that is being looked at by the Department of Education for Title IX issues. The Princeton Theological Seminary has an open investigation that began in April, also under the sexual violence category, the government reported. A message left on Aug. 2 at the seminary’s communications office was not returned.

Dems choose Verrelli to fill vacant state Assembly seat By Philip Sean Curran Staff Writer

Mercer County Freeholder Anthony S. Verrelli, a carpenters union leader moving quickly up the political ladder, beat three fellow Democrats on July 26 to win Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora’s old state Assembly seat representing parts of Mercer and Hunterdon counties. Verrelli, 54, of Hopewell Township, won at a convention of Democratic county committee members from

the 10 towns that make up the 15th legislative district. It was not immediately known when he will be sworn into his new office or when he will resign from his current one. “I am humbled to be selected to be the next assemblyman in the 15th district,” Verrelli said afterward to a crowd that included his wife, Donna, and daughter, Alyssa, in the banquet room of the Cobblestone Creek County Club, Lawrence Township.

“If you have a problem, I will listen. If I tell you I will do something, I will keep my word.” He beat out a field that had included Hopewell Township Mayor Kevin Kuchinski, activist Fatima Mughal of Ewing, and Trenton resident Jeffrey Laurenti, a former candidate for Congress and former executive director of the state Senate. Verrelli and Laurenti were the last two candidates standing after the first

ballot by secret vote failed to give anyone the necessary 50 percent plus one margin to secure victory. In the second round, Verrelli won by three votes, 97-94, according to a Democratic source familiar with the tally. Verrelli will fill the seat for now, but he would have to run in and win a general election in November to serve out the rest of Gusciora’s term. The 15th district is considered safe territory for Democrats.

“We have a new member of the fighting 15th and we’re going to do awesome work together,” said Democratic Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, the other member of the Assembly from a district that also includes state Democratic Sen. Shirley K. Turner. Verrelli is in his first term as a Freeholder, elected to public office for the first time in 2016. He has traveled the road that others before him have taken,

in going from the freeholder board to the state Legislature. It was a path that state Assemblyman Daniel R. Benson (D-14), who endorsed Verrelli’s candidacy, and former state Assemblywoman and now state Treasurer Liz Muoio have taken. This was the second time this year Verrelli had run for a vacant Assembly seat. After Muoio resigned in January to join the Murphy administration, Reyn-

it’s not the only focus,” she said. “They are old buildings, we have rising enrollment (and) there are steps that need to be taken, but it’s up to the community to approve that.” Looking ahead, Kendal said union contracts, including with the teachers, will come up for renewal in 2020. “If re-elected, one of my priorities would be to renew the labor union con-

tracts in an efficient and respectful manner,” she said. The composition of the 10-member board has turned over in recent years. Board President Patrick Sullivan is retiring at the end of what is his second and final term. That means starting in 2019, only Cranbury representative Evelyn Spann will be left from the time that Superintendent of Schools Stephen C. Cochrane start-

ed in January 2014. Sullivan declined on July 31 to say which of the five candidates he is backing. “I’m supporting any candidate who supports public education (and) is serious about supporting all our students,” he said. This year’s race will have a Princeton University flavor to it. Baglio and McDonald graduated from the university in 1996 and

1983, respectively. McDonald was a classmate of current university President Christopher L. Eisgruber and worked at the university from 2002-10 as vice president for development. In all, three sitting board members, Baglio, Jess Deutsch and Greg Stankiewicz, have degrees from Princeton, along with Cochrane, a 1981 graduate.

See VERRELLI, Page 7A

Candidates Continued from Page 3A on the board, will campaign as running mates. “I hope the work I’ve done during these past three years has earned me the confidence from the community to be re-elected for another term,” Kendal said on July 31. Kendal said she felt the outcome of the referendum would not determine who wins or loses the school

board race, even if voters pick candidates based on their actual or perceived stance on the facilities proposal. Kendal, the chairwoman of the board’s facilities committee, said she is not legally allowed to say or do anything to influence how people will vote on the issue. “The referendum has been a large focus of the board’s work this year, but

olds-Jackson beat Verrelli at a convention vote in February. But Gusciora’s victory in the Trenton mayor’s race last month created another vacancy in the district that needed to be filled. Although the composition of the field of prospective challengers changed over time, Verrelli was in the contest as the preferred choice of leading Democrats. He was endorsed by Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes, County Sheriff Jack Kemler, County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello and all but one of the other free-

holders, among others. Freeholder Samuel T. Frisby Sr., the lone member of the board not to support Verrelli, instead backed Laurenti. “I think we are, once again, putting a very, very strong candidate forward that will serve the 15th well,” said Freeholder Chairwoman Lucylle R.S. Walter afterward. “He has a proven record of working for people. And I think that’s what we need right now. We need to keep the focus on progressive values and moving Mercer County, the fifteenth Legislative District and our state forward.” Verrelli will join the

Assembly, where Democrats hold 54 of the 80 seats. With him moving on, that means there will be a vacant freeholder seat to fill. Privately, Democrats said at the convention that there was no shortage of candidates who would be interested in the opening, with a range of considerations from whether Trenton should have another seat to whether a member of the Latino community should be represented. Democrats from Mercer will have to name a replacement.

Frank Fitzgerald, 92 Frank L. Fitzgerald, 92, devoted husband, loving father and proud grandfather, passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 31, 2018. For the past 15 years he was a resident at Meadow Lakes in Highstown, NJ. Prior to that he lived with his family for many years in West Orange, NJ. He was predeceased by his wife Mary. Frank was born on December 30, 1925 to Marguerite and Joseph Fitzgerald. He grew up in the Doddtown section of East Orange, NJ where he spent the summers playing baseball and basketball in Soverell Park with his three older brothers, Joe, Ed and Jack. “Mugsy” to his friends, Frank graduated from Clifford J Scott High School in Doddtown. After graduation he joined the Navy where he was a Radarman on the Henry S Tucker and served in the Pacific theater. After being honorably discharged, he enrolled at Seton Hall College on the GI Bill, graduating in 1949 with a Bachelors of Science degree in Accounting.

Mildred A. Weigel, 78, of West Windsor, passed away at home on Monday, July 30, 2018. Born and raised in Princeton, Milly spent virtually her entire life in the Princeton area. After graduating from Princeton High School, she worked in the family business before embarking on a rewarding 42-year career as a tax preparer for H&R Block.

Frank married Mary E. Burke in 1953, having met her on a blind date set up by his brother Joe, and Mary’s brother and Joe’s best friend, Jack Burke. They lived briefly in East Orange and Sayerville prior to settling in West Orange, NJ where they lived for 40 years and raised their family of three boys, Frank Jr, Jim and Rick and their daughter Margaret (Peggy), who sadly passed away early in life.

Milly loved animals and was a long-time supporter of Pet Rescue of Mercer County. She had a special place in her heart, compelling her to adopt several rescued dogs over the years.

After graduating from Seton Hall, Frank spent most of his career working in New York City for American Metal Climax Company in financial and trading roles, eventually retiring as Treasurer of Ametalco in 1980. After retiring, Frank and Mary traveled extensively and particularly loved visiting Ireland, Italy and Jim’s family in Seattle, WA when they lived there.

Milly also loved Ireland and all things Irish, in homage to her dear departed mother, Helen (McHugh) Weigel, who immigrated to the United States from County Galway in the 1920s. Milly often told stories of her experiences growing up on Witherspoon Street, where her father, the late Charles Weigel, owned and operated Rockwood Dairy. Milly is also predeceased by her sister, Helen Leavitt. Milly is survived by her cousins, Kathleen and William Kurtz of Lusby, Maryland, June and James Melvin, of Keymar, Maryland, Frederick (Fred) and Mariellen Otterbacher, of Crofton, Maryland, John and Leigh Otterbacher, of Edgewater, Maryland, and William and Carol Pascoe of Ocala, Florida, goddaughter, Charlotte Diane (Dee) Taylor Strauss, of King George, Virginia, and a group of very dear and cherished friends. Funeral services were held on Thursday, August 2, 2018 in the Kimble Funeral Home, Princeton, NJ, followed by burial at Princeton Cemetery. Contributions to Pet Rescue of Mercer, Nassau Presbyterian Church, or a charity of choice are appreciated.

As the last surviving male member of his generation of the family, Frank was affectionately known by his family as the Patriarch of the East. He particularly loved to spend time with his grandchildren and grand nieces and nephews, as he would combine his Irish gift of gab with his incredible memory to recount family stories and history. Frank is survived by his two sons, Jim and Frank and their wives, Linda and Nina, as well as his six grandchildren, Conor, Shannon, Corey, Nina, Anya, and Sofie. He is also survived by some 32 nieces and nephews and their children. There will be visitation at the Mather-Hodge Funeral Home in Princeton, NJ from 8:45 to 9:30 on Saturday, August 4, followed by a Mass of Christian burial at 10:00 AM at St Paul’s Church, 216 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08540. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Fitzgerald Scholarship at NJIT, care of Scott Morrison, Director of Athletic Development, NJIT Athletics, University Heights, Newark, NJ, 07102.

Bluefish dominate at PASDA swim meet By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

MIke Uchrin loves the mix of the Community Park Bluefish swim team. The collection of club swimmers, summer swimmers and newcomers to swimming come together for two months in the summer at Princeton’s Community Park Pool to enjoy the sport and improve along the way. Everything came together for the Bluefish as the completed an undefeated regular season and then added a Princeton Area Swimming and Diving Association championship to wrap up the season. CP won the Division 1 championship with 3,934.5 points. Lawrenceville Swimming Association was second with 2,030. Nassau Swim Club finished fourth in Division 2, while Cherry Valley Country Club was first in Division 3. Princeton Family YMCA was third in Division 3. The meet was held at John Witherspoon School in Princeton. “We had a great year,” Uchrin said. “The kids had fun. We showed our strength at PASDA champs. We went undefeated in the regular season and put together a great performance at PASDA champs. One of the fun parts of summer swimming is coming together and getting together with friends from other teams or friends who are not regulars in the sport. It just comes together and everyone enjoys it.” The Bluefish used their depth to earn the Division 1 title. They had two swimmers earn Most Valuable Swimmer honors in their age group - Zoe Bitterman in 10-andunder girls and David Brophy in 10-and-under boys. But with 230 swimmers, it was the depth that made the biggest impact. “That is one of our greatest strengths,” Uchrin said. “The size of the team allows for a great number of relays and they performed well. Given the culture of team, some swimmer are summer only and some are year-round.

Pictured are swimmers and coaches from the Community Park Bluefish swim team that captured the Division 1 championship at the Princeton Area Swimming and Diving meet. Collectively they come together and are part of the reason we had so much success. The Bluefish had a number of swimmers finish in the top three in their age group in Division 1. In the girls 6-and-under division, Mia Bitterman finished third in 6-and-under 25 free and third in 25 backstroke. In the girls 8-and-under division, Phoebe Roth finished first in the 25 free, Georgia Glanton was second in the 25 free and third in 25 breaststroke, Charlotte Flanagan was second in the 25 butterfly, and XinLe Cordle was third in the 25 butterfly. In the girls 10-and-under division, Zoe Bitterman finished first in the 25 free and 25 butterfly, Julia Godfrey was second in the 25 butterfly and third in the 25 free, Annie Flanagan was second in the 25 backstroke and second in the 100 individual medley, and Ellie Kroll was second in the 25 breaststroke. In the girls 12-and-under division, Piper Dubow won the 50

breaststroke and was third in the 100 IM, Kyleigh Tangen finished second in the 50 free and 50 butterfly, Audrey Wilhelm was third in the 50 breaststroke, and Sabine Ristad was second in the 100 IM and third in the 50 butterfly. In the girls 14-and-under division, Emily Smith was second in the 50 backstroke and third in the 50 free, while Alexandra Cherry was third in the 50 butterfly. In the girls 18-and-under division, Serena Sharpless was first in the 50 free and second in the 50 butterfly, Cameron Davis was second in the 50 free and third in the 100 IM, and Ella Caddeau was second in the 50 backstroke and third in the 50 butterfly. In the boys 8-and-under division, Matthew Krol was first in the 25 breaststroke and 25 butterfly, while Brian Krol was first in the 25 backstroke and second in the 25 free. In he boys 10-and-under division, David Brophy won the 25 butterfly and the 100 IM, while Shawn Elwood was third in the

25 backstroke. In the boys 12-and-under division, Coll Wight won the 50 backstroke and the 200 IM, Martin Brophy was third in the 50 free and in the 50 butterfly, Kent Kyle was second in the 200 IM and third in the 50 breaststroke, and Matthew Baglio was second in the 50 butterfly. In the boys 14-and-under division, Andrew Lenkowsky won the 50 free and the 200 IM, Julian Valazquez was second in the 50 butterfly and third in the 50 free, and Lucas Gold was second in the 50 backstroke. In the boys 18-and-under division, Dylan Torrance won the 50 backstroke and was second in the 200 IM, Philip Lacava was second in the 50 free, Calvin Ristad was second in the 50 breaststroke and third in the 50 free, Karl Lackner was third in the 50 backstroke, and Owen Tennant was third in the 50 breaststroke. “The success is a byproduct of us being able to come together and have some fun and improve,”

Uchrin said. “Every year get a great amount of kids that come back and we have great support from the community. We have swimmers who want to come out and have fun and do their best and have some success.” With a strong coaching staff and interest that just increases every year, Uchrin looks at swimming for the Bluefish as a perfect summer activity. “It is part of the community,” he said. “We want to maintain that close-knit feeling but also have to account for the demand. We have nine assistant coaches and they are the best around. A lot of our coaches are long-time Bluefish and they help maintain that close-knit feel. “I want Bluefish in Princeton to be a part of the summer like going to the beach and to a barbecue. In the simmer I want it to be Bluefish time. That is what it is all about and that is why I love what we have put together. It doesn’t matter your background. Just swim hard and have fun.”

Princeton FC Boca wins U16 national soccer crown By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

When Yordan Hristov first got together with the group of players that would go on to comprise the foundation for the current Princeton FC 2002 Boys Boca soccer team, expectations were tempered a bit. “I took over the team in the fall of 2013 and then we started to build it,” said Hristov, the team’s head coach. “Back then it was a team of 10 players and they played 8v8 and then piece by piece we added some more players to the roster. It took us four to four-and-a-half years to get where we are.” Where the team is now is as good as it gets. The team won the Mid-Atlantic Regional, which was held in Somerset June 30July 3. The regional title sent PFC Boca to the US Club National Cup XVII Finals in Aurora, Colorado, where the team came away with a national championship on July 24 with a 3-1 win over FC Cardinals-Mancity ’02 of North Carolina. “The goal was always to get to the highest possible level with the players we have,” Hristov said. “It was a process. It’s not easy to achieve that kind of success with local players in the short period we had. But we have worked hard to get where we are.” The core of the team is made up of players who attend Princeton High School. But there also players from the surrounding area

There are players on the team who attend Princeton Day School, Lawrenceville, Hightstown and West Windsor-Plainsboro South among other schools. “We don’t have players from far away,” Hristov said. “We’re pretty much all local players with the addition of a couple from Pennsylvania. They see each other all the time in their high school programs and will face each other in the fall.” Princeton opened the national

tournament against South Dakota United Crew. After a scoreless first half, Boca found the opposition net twice in the second half to win the game 2-0. Jose Rodriguez-Chacon and Ian Pompliano were able to convert and score goals. Against GPS Charleston South Carolina, who also won their first game, the teams played to a scoreless first half. Immediately after the break, Princeton used a defensive mistake and Herbert Ramirez capitalized for 1-0. In the remain-

ing minutes both teams produced interesting soccer, but Boca kept the lead to win the game. The third game for Boca was against a team from Indiana - Y16 International 02. Brandon Sagbo scored the first goal after a very good combination with Daniel Ingersoll. After the score became tied at 1-1, Boca responded well and just a few minutes later after a good dribble-penetration Silvio Aparicio was fouled just outside the penalty box, left side of the

goal. Ingersoll, the team’s free kick specialist from that range and angle, stepped up and placed the ball perfectly in the far side of goal for a 2-1 win. After winning all three group games PFC Boca booked its place in the final. In the other group the team from North Carolina finished on top. The Cardinals had a chance to score in the first 20 seconds of the game and only the reaction of Boca’s goalkeeper Jared Bell prevented what would have been a very bad start for the Princeton FC boys. Boca recovered quickly and tried to establish control of the game by using their signature style - quick ball movement. After a scoreless first half, Ingersoll scored with a long-range shot for 1-0 lead. Sagbo scored

Middle school a solid feeder for PHS track success By Bob Nuse Sports Editor

“Our training methods are primarily based on personal growth. Our system is what they do at the high school but toned downed to the middle school level. “Before I coached at the middle school I coached at the high school for a few years and was mentored by (former PHS coach) Mark Shelly. A lot of what I bring is from my previous experience of what they do at the high school. The culture up there is so welcoming. Our kids love the high school program and are happy to compete and eventually get to that level.” Added Lee: “I think it helps that Amber coached at the high school and she knows a lot of the runners. And because she ran in college (at The College of New Jersey) the kids know she competed at a high level and they know she has been successful.” The middle school team competes in up to eight meets and a pair of invitationals in the spring. The meets are a chance to go out and see what kind of improvement the athletes have made over the course of the season.

The team competed in the New Jersey Middle School Track and Field Invitational, where the girls took first out of 30 teams and the boys took second. “Instead of just having them go out and run we try to tailor a program to the individual as much as we can,” Lee said. “We mirror a lot of what the high school does but make it less mileage and less intense. We’ve added some invitational meets the past few years which we hadn’t done before. We hosted our first Greenway Meadows Invitational (in cross country) because we wanted to give the kids an opportunity for a culminating meet that they can strive for.” At the Greenway Meadows Invitational, both the boys and the girls finished in first place in their respective divisions. In the end, the middle school program is doing what it can to help build and sustain what has become one of the top programs in the state. “We work with the high school and try to share the track, which can be crowded, so we try to use other spaces as well to make it a safer environment,” Rylak said. “We’ll do some loops around the school. What’s nice is the kids get very excited when they see the high school results. Some of them are JW alumni that the younger kids look up to. Some of our kids will go to Coach Lee’s office and look up stats. “What is also cool is Coach Lee is running marathons and we get the kids involved in the local 5k races. So the kids are supporting Princeton and the community by participating in events like the Cupids Chase 5k, which a lot of them were part of.” Added Lee: “As we look at results more and more we see JW and PHS kids taking places in age group. It’s nice to see them placing well against their peers. I think we have helped change the culture of running and being healthy and reaching to do your best.”

a few minutes later to take a 2-0 lead. The Cardinals cut the lead to 2-1 before Pompliano scored to make it a 3-1 game and give Boca a national title. “It started from the regionals,” Hristov said of the team’s success. “We got into that competition and it was our second time trying. Last year we didn’t get this far. I think this year we were a little more motivated and that showed on field. The regional was a great experience and

after we won that we believed the sky was the limit. “Game by game in nationals we saw tough opponents with different styles of play. We played teams from South Dakota, South Carolina, Indiana and then North Carolina. We had never heard about those team or what we were getting into. It was a great experience and we adjusted to what each one was doing on the field.” The PFC Boca roster at nationals included Xavier Guerreiro, Connor Staples, Aron Szoke, Brandon Sagbo, Jose Rodriguez-Chacon, Silvio Aparicio, Ian Cabrera,

Noah LaPoint, Daniel Ingersoll, Herbert Ramirez, Jared Bell, Andres Argueta, Simon Sheppard and Ian Pompliano “New Jersey is a strong soccer state,” Hristov said. “It comes down to getting the right players and putting them all together and making them believe they can achieve a lot. It is not an overnight thing. We’re not as famous as some of the other programs around. It was a carefully planned process to get here. It is all about the support from the club, the parents and everyone that believes in what we were doing. The players understood this is what it would be.”

The Princeton High track and field program just completed what is believed to be the most successful year in its history. The Little Tigers swept the Mercer County championships in boys cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track, while also sweeping the state sectional titles and winning the Group IV state outdoor championship. While the high school team was doing all that winning, the program at the John Witherspoon Middle School in Princeton was feeling pretty good itself. The middle school program has grown in leaps and bounds the past few years and has become quite a feeder program for the success at the high school level. “Our program has grown in the four years we have been coaching,” said Daniel Lee, who coaches the middle school team along with Amber Rylak. “Our cros- country team was about 25 kids and this past year we had 118 kids. So the growth has been tremendous. In running club we had 10 to 15 kids in the winter because it is hard to get kids who want to run in the winter. This year we had 100 kids running in the winter time and gearing them up for whatever activity they have in the spring. It’s nice to get them outside.” Lee and Rylak have been coaching the middle school cross-country team for four years, while Rylak has done running club for four years and Lee for the last three. This was their first spring coaching track together. The growth in popularity and participation at the middle school level should help the high school program continue its level of success. Rylak had coached at the high school before coaching at the middle school and knows what it takes to be ready to compete at that level. “We try to prepare them for high school,” she said.

Dozens of murals are located alongside Asbury Park’s iconic boardwalk. Jenn Hampton, curator of the Parlor Gallery on Cookman Avenue, handpicks each artist to create imagery throughout the community.

Asbury Park looks more colorful

sbury Park is moving forward as an emerging visual hub for new age artists as the community immerses itself in contemporary culture. Today, animated murals adorn the sides of haunting infrastructures, which are now insecure from the impact of natural disasters - including time. Dozens of murals are located alongside the city’s iconic boardwalk. Larger-thanlife abstract paintings also reside on buildings along the city’s streets that now house attractive eateries, retail shops and tourism. Jenn Hampton, curator of the Parlor Gallery, which is on Cookman Avenue, said the colorful sights were non-existent until three years ago. “I felt really weird when I would read all of these articles about Asbury Park being an un-artistic community … I noticed that people didn’t know about art, and I noticed when people would say ‘oh there are no sculptures or murals in town,’ ” Hampton said. Hampton, being an art enthusiast her-

self, knew there was something that could be done to bringing art to the small city she said was in need of an artistic overhaul. Hampton handpicks each artist to create imagery throughout the community. The thriving music and culture scene - a modern renaissance one might call it - involves playing off the intrinsic flair Asbury Park naturally exudes. “When you are doing it, like many other things in life, you are not sure why. You’re just like, ‘I know I need to do this.’ It is interesting to see how art does change a landscape and people’s energy,” Hampton said. “Any town that is finding its identity needs art in it,” Hampton said. “We are in an area where people don’t necessarily know about contemporary art … New Jersey isn’t really known for art. There is this narrative that needs to be changed.” Aside from historical iconography that has existed for years in the city, includ-

Musicians on a Mission give back to community

usicians on a Mission, a local nonprofit organization, had two of its local bands performing at the Monmouth County Fair on July 27. The organization, which was founded in 2010, was conceived with the goal of using the power of music to create connection and inspire giving. Brenda Wirth, who is on the Board of Directors and serves as the treasurer of Musicians on a Mission, was at the fair with those bands to try and spread the word of what the organization is all about. “We put on musical events using local musicians at local venues and we raise money for small local charities,” Wirth said. Musicians on a Mission is currently working with more than 30 local charities, according to its website. The organization is always open to adding more charities to that list. “We want to let people know what we do,” Wirth said. “If you have a charity that you know something about, and it might be a little something that helps children or veterans or something, but you came to us and said you think this would be a good fit for us, we might be able to put on a little show at a local church or a local venue and then we charge admission, the musicians play for free, and we donate all of that money to that charity. It’s like everybody wins.” The musicians come from various places. All of the bands look to get more exposure and they can do that by working with Musicians on a Mission.

‘We provide a place for the musicians to play and it’s them giving back to the community. We were trying to figure out a way for musicians to give back and this does it.’ Brenda Wirth

Elaine Orzechowski performs with her band, The Cimarron Sky Band at the Monmouth County Fair on Friday, July 27. “It’s great because the musicians get to play in front of larger audiences than they would normally where a lot of local musicians play,” Wirth said. “Some of these bands were playing in local coffee houses and they get the chance to have a larger audience. We provide a place for the musicians to play and it’s them giving back to the community. We were trying to figure out a way for musicians to give back and this does it. Our musicians are very generous.” Elaine Orzechowski was at the

Monmouth County Fair on July 27 to play the first of two sets with her band, The Cimarron Sky Band. Orzechowski has been involved with Musicians on a Mission for several years. “I lived in Asbury Park, and a lot of the Asbury Park musicians were the core base of Musicians on a Mission,” Orzechowski said. “I played at some of their open mics and then I branched out and have my own band now. We still play some of the events and try to keep a hand in it. It’s a great organization and they do a lot for local

organizations and charities.” Orzechowski, who has been playing in bands since she graduated from high school, plays guitar, mandolin, keyboards and flute. The Cimarron Sky Band plays bluegrass and country. “We do a little bit of each,” she said. “We play a lot of shows each year dedicated to the classic ladies of country music. We did a whole series at the Ocean County Library for Women’s History Month and we do that every year, we have a lot of fun doing it.”

The second band representing Musicians on a Mission at the county fair was Michael Patrick and the Suburban Hillbillies. “We do a lot of country rock,” Patrick said. “We do a lot of covers, we used to do a lot of originals, but we like to get paid. We’re just happy to be here. It’s a nice event and I’m happy to be out playing on a nice Friday night.” Patrick has been involved with Musicians on a Mission since almost the very beginning. After meeting Jenny Woods, the co-founder, when she was selling guitar string-based jewelry, the two of them clicked. Patrick has been involved with Musicians on a Mission ever since. “Over the years, but not as much as I like to because we play all over the tri-state area, we try to get involved as much as we can,” he said.

Murals Continued from Page 2B ing the all-too-cheery, yet slightly gothic Wonder Bar cameo, the new art that can be found throughout Asbury Park could best be defined as oceanic hyper-surrealism. As an ode to the Atlantic Ocean, the murals are a mixture of pop culture and fantasy, components of which make each piece entirely unique and fit for the modern era. Since 2015, Hampton said, she has facilitated the creation of 31 murals in Asbury Park. On any given day, you can see people interacting with the murals, taking pictures alongside them and simply enjoying the beauty that is in front of them. Hampton said she admires the engagement the works receive from members of the public. “Asbury needed new iconography,” Hampton said. “The colors they are painting our town are as sad as a wall having no art on it. Somewhere in the lineage of the art world, in design sensibilities, someone has decided that gray is high-end. “I don’t want people to remember there are wooden walls holding up (structures) because of superstorm Sandy or because something is in flux. All of a sudden, you forget what those wooden walls represent, which is a work in progress. Now, you just remember the murals. You don’t remember things were once falling apart.” The Parlor Gallery is redefining the way art is perceived by the individual consumer, locals and visitors. Hampton, who was once referred to as the “The Mother of Asbury,” said that as a curator, her goal is to facilitate a personal relationship between individuals and the art they view, that is, if such a relationship exits. “I wish I could put a microphone on people when they come into galleries. They say, ‘I don’t get it. I could do that myself,’ ” Hampton said. “There is that narrative and it is interesting that this is a universal thing.” Hampton said the personal relationships that exist between works of art and the individual are the most meaningful in terms of exposure. “One of my goals in Asbury is to cre-

ate an artists’ residency here. The ocean is inspiring. I feel like the town is inspiring. I’m wondering how (Asbury) can change an artists’ body of work. You take yourself out of the studio and you put yourself in an uncomfortable environment to see how it changes your art,” Hampton said. Next up for a residency at the Parlor Gallery is trianglist Howard Schoor. Schoor’s art is defined by the use of the triangle. Trianglism is a concept that Schoor, a retired civil engineer, said is accompanied by a certain aesthetic he wants viewers to appreciate as he begins to define his identity in the art world. The inclusion of the triangle throughout the collection appears to represent Schoor’s desire for the continual use of the mechanics of precision – a quest for accuracy and symmetrically finite details. “I am trying to go into the depths of the art process and sell my art. I know I have a chance to meet people and tell them my story. Hopefully, it will resonate and they will buy some art,” Schoor laughed. Schoor’s exhibition may be viewed from July 28 through Sept. 1. at the Parlor Gallery, 717 Cookman Ave., Asbury Park.

The most popular paint party in Princeton

Veterans Memorial Home residents participated in a paint party field trip at Cranbury Station Gallery in Princeton. Pictured from left: John, Jerry, Matty, Kathie Morolda, Toni, David and Joan.

few weeks ago, I peaked in the window of the newly relocated Cranbury Station Gallery on Palmer Square-now at 10 Hulfish Street next to Jazams-for a glimpse of artwork by my favorite Princeton landscape artist, Kathleen Maguire Morolda . I left with an entirely different picture – a scene of a dozen disabled individuals with looks of sheer joy on their faces. I had to go into the gallery to find out how I could purchase some of what they were exhibiting. Kathie Morolda, who also is the owner of the gallery, was the host to a paint party for residents of the Veterans Memorial Home, based in Edison. Usually she goes to the memorial home to conduct her paint parties for the veterans. This time the veterans were treated to a field trip to Princeton, where they found artistic heaven in the gallery and a visual treasure in Palmer Square. Ninety-nine-year-old John– who in his ‘youth’ was a professional artist – rediscovered his artistic talents thanks to his muse, Kathie. “‘Kathie, you have certainly made my day!’ ” says John to me after each class. I always tell him that, in fact, HE, has made my day,” said Kathie. John was so excited about his new lease on life that he invited his children to Princeton to observe the paint party. I quickly learned that the magical and transformative effects of Kathie’s paint parties are not limited to disabled veterans. Kathie convinced me (whose attempts at painting have been as pathetic as my attempts at cooking) to participate in a paint party on the evening of July 12. I am surprised that no one has noticed that my wrinkles and bags under my eyes have diminished without the benefit of air brushing or a facelift. I am 20 years younger, in spirit at least, than I was PPP (Pre Paint Party). People of all ages, all socio-ethnic backgrounds, and all professions participated with me in Kathie’s mid-summer paint party. The wannabe artists included: a 92 year old, downtown Princeton resident Mary Anne Haas, who has participated in about two dozen of Kathie’s paint parties; Millennials for whom the paint party was part of night out on Palmer

Loose Ends Continued from Page 12B er Square; young Baby Boomers, who came out to celebrate a birthday and/or to get away from it all; and old Baby Boomers, like me, who came simply out of curiosity and coercion. What sets Kathie’s paint parties apart from others that I have seen advertised is that Kathie, instead of focusing on eating and drinking, emphasizes camaraderie, painting, and learninghow to create a piece of art “that really makes the participant proud,” said Kathie. The intoxication comes from the act of painting. In the no-stress, no-angst zone of the gallery, the party goers painters laughed a lot, made new friends, escaped all stressful electronic equipment and people at home/work, and came away with an arts “masterpiece” suitable for framing.. Kathie, who has been producing paint parties for groups and individuals in her gallery and in many other locations for about five years, handed me a brochure listing the benefits of painting: fosters creative growth; strengthens memory; nurtures emotional growth; builds problem solving and motor skills; offers stress relief; promotes an optimistic attitude. But I contend that all these benefits are due not only to the act of painting, but also to the painting instructor. I have known Kathie since she opened her Princeton gallery in 1983 and have been a fan of her upbeat demeanor and smile-inducing artwork in which her use of color is the key. As a Jersey gal “through and through,” she sees the natural beauty of her New Jersey environment – both urban and rural. She loves the variety of New Jersey’s landscape, particularly its brilliant color changes throughout the year, has

been the inspiration. The Jersey native lives in Monroe, where she built her first gallery and framing business within a renovated blacksmith shop behind her residence. The fact that she has built a successful business, raised four children (who are responsible for her six grandchildren), remained married, and is the caregiver to her severely handicapped brother is a testament to her nature and how painting has helped her keep it all together. Teaching has always been part of Kathie’s artistic picture. For years she has run a women’s watercolor workshop – two days at her Jersey Shore house in Lavallette with views of the ocean and bay. Even though the workshops cost a few hundred dollars, she donates a scholarship every year to a woman who is “going through a very tough time and could benefit mentally and perhaps even physically from the workshop. The selection process is run through the Princeton YWCA,” said Kathie. Her commitment to her community and to helping others has been recognized formally by community groups; she is the recipient of the 2007 Mercer County Business Woman of the Year; the 2007 State of New Jersey Business Woman of the Year; and the 2010 Princeton YWCA Tribute Award. “But my best reward, greatest satisfaction is seeing others find the same joy in painting that I find,” said Kathie, who convinced me to do a paint party with my six grandkids and their parents (if they are good) as a Christmas present. She would provide - and therefore wash- the full-body aprons (along with berets that the kids can keep), and she would be happy to host the party in her gallery, not in my house. http://cranburystationgallery.com/.

. Where did you grow up? A. I am a New Jersey resident my whole life. Born in Red Bank and raised in Middletown, after college my wife and I moved to central New Jersey where we have been for almost 40 years.

. What do you like most about living in this area? A. There is something for everyone in the greater Princeton area. Personally, I enjoy the outdoors (hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, golfing). Mercer County’s commitment to the space devoted to parks, trails and waterways make for an exceptional quality of life people who enjoy outdoor activities.

. What is your specialty in real estate? A. Several years ago I earned the SRES® (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation. Baby boomers like me often are dealing not only their own futures regarding planning for retirement and real estate needs, but that of

their parents and children. The SRES course provided me with all of the tools to help me help seniors who are not sure where to begin. While “aging in place” is preferred, there may come a time when it is no longer a choice. In many cases baby boomers have parents and children with special needs. I have an excellent network of professionals in place to help them make the best choices.

. What separates you from your competition? A. My marketing communications background and skills enable me to better position and present my clients properties and help define where the prospective buyers will be coming from, thus maximizing how every marketing dollar is spent to target prospective buyers. On the buy side, I am very straight with my clients about the pros and cons of properties they are considering.

Q Q

. What did you do before real estate? A. I was Owner/President of a marketing communications company for 18 years.

. What is the most challenging/gratifying aspect of what you do? A. Helping people who need the most help. Firsttime home buyers and Seniors seem to have the most needs. First time home buyers have many questions every step of the way, and I am happy to lead them. Seniors often do not have a spouse or children living locally to help with a move, so you become family. Trust is a huge part of any transaction, especially when you are dealing with Seniors.
