Calling Out Police Misconduct
A
s a reporter at the Asbury Park Press, I’ve spent years investigating the ways New Jersey fails to hold police officers accountable. My stories have exposed cops using excessive force, bias against female recruits and the dangers of police car chases. Journalists at other media outlets have also highlighted serious problems. The state attorney general imposed several police reforms to address some of the issues. But abuses by the police persist, and I’m trying to understand the problems on a deeper level. So this year I’m partnering with ProPublica to tap into the nonprofit investigative outlet’s expertise and resources. I need your help. Please complete the form available at www. propublica.org/getinvolved/tellus-about-police-misconduct-innew-jersey if you know about police misconduct in New Jersey or how it’s allowed to continue. We know that the majority of police officers take their jobs and the public trust seriously, but we’ve

In recent months, cops have been accused of corruption, sexual misconduct, abusing “off duty” or “extra duty” assignments and retaliating against a community member who filed a formal complaint. I’m interested in learning more about these types of issues. I’m also trying to understand the role of police unions and other behind-the-scenes power players that may be impeding discipline. I am hoping to talk to community members, police officers, public employees and others who can steer me in the right direction. Thank you for your help guiding my reporting. We appreciate you sharing your story, and we take your privacy seriously. We are gathering these stories for the purposes of our reporting.

Punch Up Your Virtual Networking Meetings
Think of networking and you picture a crowded room with peo-
ple shaking hands, chatting, and exchanging business cards. Those days are on hold, but it’s still possible to make effective new connections virtually. Michael Goldberg, the founder of Knockout Networking, offers a talk on how to attract more business connections on Friday, May 15, at 9:45 a.m. The free event, sponsored by the Professional Service Group of Mercer County, will be streamed online. For more information and to register visit www. psgofmercercounty.org. In addition to Knockout Networking, which offers programs on networking, referral marketing, and recruiting, Goldberg is also the author of the book “Knock Out Networking for Financial Advisors and Other Sales Producers.” He also writes a blog called “3-Minute Rounds” accessible at knockoutnetworking.com/3-minute-rounds. In April, he posted this advice for making the most of virtual networking.

meeting and learning more. Be early. Try to account for connectivity issues, confusion with usernames, passwords, meeting links, and conference codes. Besides, if you jump on a few minutes early, you make a good impression and may be able to establish rapport before you get down to business. PUNCH up your meeting!

for your virtual meetings (and “live” meetings too!) to stay on track and get the most out of your virtual networking. Use this PUNCH-line as an agenda for your virtual meetings (and “live” meetings too!) to stay on track and get the most out of your virtual networking. Purpose. What is the purpose of the meeting? This is where you can discuss an overview of the meeting, agenda, and possible outcomes. You can also establish the duration of the meeting if it hasn’t been stated initially. It’s important to have the same or a similar purpose in mind from the beginning as it sets a positive tone while providing structure and direction. Understanding. Develop an understanding of what you each do both personally and professionally (the fun stuff too!) so you can become more familiar with each other’s background, experience, hobbies, activities, achievements, goals, and potential requests. This might be the most important part of your meeting as it could help you determine if there is a “good fit” and potential for a great relationship. Networks. Where do they network? How do they network? Who are they looking to meet? How can you help? Find out what their networking approach is and the types of connections they make and are looking to make. Just this topic alone can open the discussion about introductions and involvement in professional associations, groups, podcasts, mastermind groups, and various networking platforms. Call to Action. Specifically, what do you want? What do they want? Now that you’ve had the networking conversation (above), discuss that types of connections that

(Again, make sure this is a two-way street — remember, all of this should be an exchange.) The more specific you are about the type of prospects and referral sources you want, the better the results. Just be careful what you ask for and be mindful of how the meeting feels to you. Also, if appropriate, how will you stay in touch? Keep in mind, it takes time to develop a great relationship so take the time. Especially online. What are your next steps? What promises and declarations have you made and when will you commit to following through on your promises? Will there be a next meeting? If so, when? How will you stay in touch and continue to develop the relationship? Do you want to establish regular calls or virtual meetings — every month, quarter, whatever?

working groups, and virtual meetings have become the norm. More so than before due to all the craziness. Are you leveraging and getting the most out of your virtual networking meetings? Here are some reasons to schedule a virtual networking meeting through Zoom, Skype, or even by phone. • You’re concerned about the prospect’s, client’s, or referral source’s health and welfare. • You’re concerned about the prospect’s, client’s, or referral source’s business and want to help. • You want to explore ways of exchanging referrals. • The other person can help you in some way and is willing to meet with you to discuss. • You can help the other person in some way, and you are willing to meet them to discuss. • There is a membership opportunity to a group, association, etc. that needs to be explored. • A recruiting opportunity. • The other person has presented themselves as a prospect. • You have presented yourself as a prospect. • It’s purely social. (Mutual members of a networking group for example.) That’s about it. There must be a good reason to initiate and ultimately schedule a meeting (especially since there are so many happening now of the virtual variety) so be clear on the purpose, the benefit (to them and you), the desired outcome, and the next steps. Here are some very basic best practices to keep in mind! Be prepared for your meeting.
Spend a few minutes on LinkedIn and learn what you can about the person (or people) you’re meeting so you feel confident and they feel important. It will also help you prepare questions, discussion points, and desired outcomes. Confirm your meeting with a Calendar Invite and include the Zoom link (or link for whatever platform you’re using) or dial-in information. In fact, you’ll make a great impression if you create and send the Calendar Invite. If you haven’t sent or received a Calendar Invite, confirm your meeting the day before with a quick email. Firm up the date, time, appropriate media (or medium), and share your excitement about

How to Move Forward. One of the reasons many meetings don’t flourish into valuable business relationships is because nobody takes responsibility to stay in touch. What will the “staying in touch” strategy look like for you? What is most appropriate and feels right? What is your next virtual networking step?

Notas’ talk about planting is connected with the D&R Greenway’s annual native plant sale pickup set for Friday and Saturday, May 15 and 16. It’s the first of several through the year. Online orders are being accepted through Wednesday, May 13. Started in 2007 to introduce native plants to the community, the Greenway’s nursery stocks more than 50 species of native plants essential for regional wildlife.

alone in their interest in native species. Rutgers University’s Department of Agriculture shares information through a web page called “Incorporating Native Plants in Your Residential Landscape.” According site writers Meredith Melendez, agriculture and natural resources agent in Mercer County, and Deborah Pinto, horticulture consultant, Burlington County, “The term native plant is fluid and can have many different meanings. In general, native plants are species that were present at the beginning of the European settlement of North America. These plants, over time, have evolved to grow in a specific region. Native plants have established complex relationships with other native plants, insects, and animals, some of which are dependent on one another to thrive. Generally, native plants naturally occur within a radius of 100 miles of your area, and many can do well with a minimum of care once established.” They add since native plants have evolved to thrive in a specific region, they “support their ecosystems more diversely than exotic plantings. While many homeowners have incorporated flowering plants in their landscapes to attract certain birds and butterflies, a habitat to support insect life is greatly needed. Exotic plants may offer a nectar source for wildlife, but in many cases their leaves, fruits, pollen, and nectar are not the preferred food of our vital native insects and wildlife. The lack of proper habitat and food sources for native birds and insects is one factor in the decline of many of these species in the United States.” That is followed by another consideration. “The reliance on standard exotic landscape plants leads to predictable landscapes regardless of the region. This creates a loss of regional aesthetic identity. Homeowners who desire for pristine landscapes have created residential properties devoid of leaf and plant litter. With proper planning you can maintain a more natural landscape using native plants, saving money on fertilizers and achieving a lower maintenance landscape.” The Rutgers site also helps gardeners explore three elements to successful planting — types of soil, sunlight conditions, and hydration — and a guide to assist planning. You can learn more at njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1140/ Another resource is the Native Plant Society of New Jersey that,
according to its website, is “dedicated to the appreciation, protection, and study of the native flora of New Jersey. Founded in 1985, organizers say the nonprofit has “hundreds of members across the state, and are organized into county and regional chapters. Our members include gardeners, horticulturists, naturalists, landscape designers, students, and native plant enthusiasts from all walks of life.” The group conducts lectures and presentations on topics ranging from introduction to native plants, gardening with natives, identification and appreciation of the beautiful flora and ecosystems of New Jersey, and ecological landscaping. A West Central Chapter of the society serving the greater Princeton area meets in Cranbury. For more information, visit the Native Plant Society’s website at www.npsnj.org. But for those considering planting a native species right away, Notas shares some thoughts. “Any new planting should be watered the first year for better survival. If you’re getting a tree, you should probably put a cage around it to protect it from the overabundant deer in our region. But, first and foremost, check out our plant catalog. Volunteers helped put together descriptions in the catalog that include sun and soil requirements of each plant. Give your plant what it needs to survive by putting it in the correct habitat.” Thinking beyond this year, she says, “Consider it a gift to the next generation. By planting native plants, you’re helping rebuild our ecosystem and the services it provides. The immediate benefit is you’ll have this beautiful plant in your yard to enjoy and it will attract pollinators that aren’t too bad to look at either.” And with the future on everyone’s mind during our current health crisis, this year’s spring planting can take on more significance.

50 Years Later: Princeton Statue Marks an Ohio Tragedy
T
by Dan Aubrey
he Kent State University site where four student anti-Vietnam War protestors were shot to death by the Ohio National Guard on May 4, 1970, is about 440 miles from Princeton University. But it is a spot less than 50 feet from the Princeton University Chapel where visitors can find the nation’s most significant memorial to the Kent State tragedy – something worth recalling 50 years after the shooting. The memorial – just one of the numerous pieces of public art found on the university campus and throughout the region -- is by the late George Segal. Based in South Brunswick, Segal was an internationally acclaimed master of 20thcentury figurative sculpture. He had also been a member of Rutgers University’s art faculty and taught sculpture at Princeton University from 1968 to 1969. The work, “Abraham and Isaac: In Memory of May 4, 1970,” was commissioned by Peter Putnam through the Mildred Andrews Foundation, named in honor of Putnam’s mother, in 1978 as both a commemorative statue and a gift to Kent State. The saga of the sculpture’s creation for one university, its rejection, and its way to another bring back the tensions of an older era and the situation of an artist creating a public work. Putnam, who received a PhD in physics from Princeton in 1960, is also the patron of Princeton University’s Putnam Sculpture Collection located throughout the campus (U.S. 1, May 30, 2012). The son of a lawyer father and art collector mother, Putman became wealthy through a mixture of an inheritance and shrewd stock market investments. Preferring a Spartan-like existence, Putnam preferred to contribute his money to causes and interests, including Princeton’s Putnam Collection, named after his brother, John B. Putnam, Jr, a fighter pilot killed in World War II. That collection includes work by some of the most prominent artists of the 20th century, including Pablo Picasso, Louise Nevelson, and Alexander Calder. The Kent State protests were the reaction of anti-war students to President Richard Nixon’s announcement that in addition to a presence in Vietnam the United States was planning to invade Cambodia. After a weekend of ongoing and disruptive protests that included the burning of university property, the National Guard was called in to restore order. Then on Monday afternoon a demonstration that began peacefully turned violent, with some students hurling rocks at National Guard members. Then, for some unclear reason, several guard members fired back into the crowd, killing Allison Krause, Sandy Lee Scheuer, Jeffrey G. Miller, and William K. Schroeder and wounding nine others. The shootings shook a nation living with the nightly reports of a seemingly endless war killing young Americans and innocent Vietnamese people on a daily basis. It also deepened the divide between those who wanted to continue the war and those who wanted the United States to end it. Several years after the Kent State shootings, the socially minded Putnam wanted to memorialize the event, and in January, 1978, he contacted Kent State officials to say the foundation he set up to honor his mother (using her maiden name) would pay $100,000 for Segal to create a commemorative statue to be presented to Kent State. Putnam’s mother was an art collector who admired and had collected works by Segal.
George Segal’s ‘Abraham and Isaac’ sits on the Princeton campus between the chapel and Firestone Library.

To do so, he decided to use the story of When the Kent State administration received Putman’s offer, they unofficially ac- Abraham, whose spiritual devotion is tested cepted the offer and began communications when God asks him to sacrifice his son, Isaac.

As Segal later put it, “There is a strong said Segal “would be happy to work with you on such a commission, which would be a connection in my mind between the image of Abraham and Isaac and the killings at Kent group of people, life size, in bronze.” The university immediately shared the State. It is an attempt to introduce difficult idea of the commemorative project with the moral and ethical questions as to how older parents of the four slain students and found people should behave toward their children.” To make the image relevant, Segal put they “did not wish their children to be memo-
both figures in contemporary clothing and depicted Isaac as a bare-torso college student with his hands bound. However, the university saw it differently. In an August communication between the university’s contact person, university president executive assistant Robert McCoy, Putnam writes, “On about July 27, you assured me the university’s acceptance of the Segal sculpture was unqualified. As you will remember I brought up the point explicitly, asking if your concern over the word of the Biblical quotation involved any uncertainty of acceptance.” McCoy followed with two communications showing that he had visited Segal’s New Jersey studio to try to get him to change the theme from “Abraham and Isaac” because the university administration does “not believe it appropriate to commemorate the deaths of four persons and the wounding of nine, on its campus, with a statue which appears to represent an act of violence about to be committed.” Then, according to a newspaper article, a group of Kent State students had been in communication with Segal who reported that Golding had found the theme to be “controversial” and suggested an alternative: a seminude young woman using her “feminine charms” to deflect a young soldier from firing his rifle. While the university officials denied the accusation, one article quotes McCoy as admitting to bringing up the idea with Segal during his July visit to New Jersey. Kent State students complained about the sexist approach and pointed out that the young women who were killed were protesting against a war they believed unjust. However, the administration was not moved, and the memorial was in limbo. Putnam then approached then Princeton University Art Museum director Fred Licht about accepting the design already created in Segal’s signature plaster style and creating a bronze sculpture version. He agreed, and the decision to have the work created at the Johnson Atelier added another regional dimension to the work. As past atelier caster and Hopewell-based sculptor Rory Mahon, who worked on the sculptures, says in a PUAM statement, Segal’s “original plaster figures were fragile and extremely valuable, so he was placing a lot of trust in us. In fact, his work was one of the rare instances in which the original was still more valuable than the finished bronze. As we took the plaster works through the casting process, we developed new ways to ensure the safety of his originals.” Meanwhile, Segal selected the Princeton Chapel location in order to reinforce his work’s connection to the Biblical story. “I chose the image of Abraham and Isaac despite its sexual sadomasochism, and in spite of the conflict of the generations, because it deals with mercy and compassion and has a happy ending. There are reasons for that on which we should reflect,” said Segal during the work’s October 5, 1979, dedication, His sentiments were echoed by shooting victim Allison Krause’s father, Arthur, who said, “The statue shows that the older generation and the younger generation share God’s mercy, and that He can stop sacrifice.” And while the statue’s voice may have been faded some over the past several decades, it still has the power to speak to those who have ears to listen.

A
s businesses around the state shut down in early April in response to a growing pandemic, one new project was just getting started. Construction on 8 Forrestal Road South, on Princeton University’s Forrestal campus across from the Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center campus, began on April 21. The developer, 11 Forrestal Road Associates LLC, had originally broken ground on the site in 2017, explains managing partner Vic Angeline. “There were some environmental problems relating to the road that was put in for Life Time Athletic [at 7 Forrestal Road South] that had to be cleaned up before we could continue building there,” he says. “We were going to start April 1,” Angeline says, “but we didn’t start until April 21 because we wanted to make sure we were only doing outside work.” There are currently two people working on the 5.33-acre lot. “It’s all outside and very limited man-

And he says he is not concerned about the growth of telemedicine reducing the demand for medical office space. “These buildings near a hospital campus are not going to be ones where telemedicine is run,” he says. “Most of the doctors in these buildings are specialists” — including plastic surgeons, fertility specialists, and endocrinologists — whose practices “don’t really lend themselves to telemedicine.” The spaces at 8 Forrestal Road South will be built to tenants’ specifications. “We are turn-keying most spaces for everyone,” Angeline explains. “Before they sign a lease, we’re telling them to the penny what it’s going to cost them.” The costs of any overruns are borne by the developer. Leases can be for spaces as small as 2,000 square feet and as large as

20,000 square feet, but Angeline expects the completed facility to have eight tenants averaging 5,000 square feet each. Kim Kretowicz of Colliers International is the broker for the property. And while the space doesn’t come cheap — rents start at $27 per square foot, excluding taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance — Angeline notes that it is less expensive than space at the hospital campus across the street. “Our price is significantly lower than the hospital building campus price,” he says, adding that rent is about 25 percent lower. “We don’t have the huge expense of parking decks and everything else, since we have all grade parking. And we bought this land with options quite a while ago, so our land price is not as high as the hospital land price.” “Even though we’re in a difficult time frame we’re pretty confident that by the time we get that building up we’ll be substantially if not fully leased,” Angeline says. — Sara Hastings

Life in the Fast Lane Legal Action Antares Pharma, 100 Princeton South Corporate Center, Suite 300, Ewing 08628. 609-359-3020. Robert F. Apple, president and CEO. www.antarespharma.com. A U.S. District Court judge has dismissed a class action lawsuit filed against Ewing-based pharmaceutical company Antares. The lawsuit brought by lead plaintiff Serghei Lungu alleged that Antares had purposely misled investors about the risks associated with its testosterone-enhancing drug QuickShot Testosterone, marketed as Xyosted. The lawsuit concerned the period between December, 2016, when the drug was submitted to the Food & Drug Administration for approval, and October, 2017, when Antares announced that the FDA had found deficiencies in the application. The drug was ultimately approved with a required warning label about the risk of side effects including depression, suicide, and high blood pressure. Lungu made the case that statements made by Antares executives during this period, for example “QST was found to be safe” and “QST showed ‘positive ... safety data,’” were made to intentionally mislead investors despite known safety issues. In dismissing the suit, however, the judge ruled that these were “vague and general statements of optimism” that a reasonable investor would not use to make decisions. “Because plaintiff fails to plead facts that show defendants did not honestly believe the studies produced positive safety data and lacked a reasonable basis for this opinion ... Plaintiff fails to show that this statement is actionable,” the judge said.

In Memoriam
Remembering Jazz Legend Richie Cole
T
renton’s alto-sax jazz legend Richie Cole, who died of natural causes on May 2 at the age 72, told U.S. 1 in 2014 U.S.1, “I am not from Trenton; I am Trenton. I was born here. The only place I feel comfortable is back in my hometown: in Trenton.” His personal and artistic histories support the claim. Cole was born in Trenton on February 29, 1948. His father was the proprietor of two Trenton jazz clubs in the segregated 1940s. One was the black-patroned Harlem Club on Brunswick Avenue, where noted black musicians from New York and Philadelphia played. The other, Hubby’s Inn on North Olden Avenue, was where Las Vegas-type acts performed for white audiences. Cole, who was raised by his secretary mother, Emily, and factory worker stepfather, Thomas Cole, said his decision to play alto sax at 10 years old was a natural one. A hocked alto sax ended up in his

house. “I grew up with a sax and smelled the metal and played with the keys. When I went to elementary school and wanted to be in the band, I had the instrument. I was blessed to be in an era when the public school systems had great music departments. I had great teachers who really helped me a
‘You have to master your instrument. Anything that comes into your head you can play, because you have mastered your instrument.’ lot. I was one of the two people in the world who got a full scholarship,” said Cole of his 1966 Downbeat Magazine award that took the Ewing High graduate to jazz-focused Berklee College of Music in
Boston. His college years ended when he got an offer to play with famed drummer Buddy Rich’s band in 1969. “I took the place of famed alto-saxophonist Art Pepper. It was the dream job. I went around the world. I was with him for two-anda-half years. I have been very lucky with my career and had a lot of good breaks.” Other experiences included joining bands led by Lionel Hampton and Doc Severinsen, playing with the Manhattan Transfer, and then creating his own group, the Alto Madness Orchestra. Despite an international reputation and living outside the region, Cole found and created opportunities to return to Trenton to play. One of his first musical homes was Lanzi’s Lounge on Liberty and Dresden Avenue. His last was the Candle Light Lounge on Passaic Street. Cole said his musical success was connected to his approach. “I
do not play the saxophone; I sing the saxophone. I approach it like a (vocal) soloist. I sing it. I play the melody straight, then I do what I want and improvise, tell the story, and then come back to the melody. And there’s the creation,” he said in 2014. That success, however, did not shield him from personal pain. He saw two wives die, was involved in a failed relationship with actress Brenda Vaccaro, witnessed the murder of his friend and collaborator, jazz vocalist Eddie Jefferson, and struggled with alcoholism. Despite the wear and tear Cole’s music is bright, buoyant, and playful. Prominent jazz critic Leonard

beat, and familiar,” said Cole, who is the musical link that runs from bebop’s founder Charlie Parker and innovator Phil Woods to the present. Woods — who married Parker’s widow — taught at a summer performing arts camp in New Hope, where he met the young Cole and became his mentor. The two eventually joined in recording an album, “Side by Side.” “(Bebop) to me is the ultimate expression of jazz,” Cole said about the style that he had mastered. It is a style that followed swing in the late 1940s, employed both traditional and untraditional harmonic and rhythm constructions (with an emphasis on the untraditional), and stressed playful, fast, and intricate solos that let musicians soar as they explored both sound and emotion. In addition to Parker, other masters of the style that took its name from nonsense sounds related to scat or sound singing include Dizzy Gillespie and Theolonius Monk. “If serious jazz musicians study their music, they’ll see that it starts with bebop. You have to master your instrument. Anything that comes into your head you can play, because you have mastered your instrument. Bebop musicians are like classically trained musicians,” said Cole.

Another important thing to recall, he said, is that bebop performers are not just playing music. “They’re telling a story off the top of your head; you’re not reading the story. (Saxophonist) Sonny Rollins is a poet. He’s telling a story. I understand it. Every paragraph he’s talking about. That’s the core of my thing.” Cole said he got his taste for bebop by staying “up all night listening to the jazz stations. I was attracted to bebop. I understood it. When I was growing up in the ’70s, avant-garde was out, and it looked like I was playing old folks’ music. But I heard it, and I based my career on it. It wasn’t easy. I was a young white guy playing black bebop music. It was like a contradiction.”

HAB Mitigation Begins at Rosedale Lake
L
by Jenn Rogers
ast summer Rosedale Lake in Mercer Meadows was affected by a toxic cyanobacteria harmful algal bloom (HAB). Most will remember that this bloom closed the lake to public use from early July through mid-November. This HAB was considered a highrisk closure by state standards due to the toxicity level and cell counts in the lake. At 56,300,000 cells/ milliliter, Rosedale Lake had the HAB with the highest cell count in New Jersey for 2019. The Mercer County Park Commission, in partnership with the Watershed Institute, was awarded a $185,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection earlier this spring to prevent freshwater HABs at Rosedale Lake. The County’s Open Space Trust Fund is also financing this project by providing $52,000 in matching dollars to perform the project. To alleviate HAB pressures, we will take a combined approach of reducing the nutrient load entering the lake and creating conditions in
the waterbody that are not favorable to HABs. What might these efforts entail? 1. Installing barley straw bales at the two tributaries entering Rosedale Lake. Barley straw acts as a sponge, absorbing excess nutrients from the surrounding water. Because of the lake’s history with HAB we will be placing 150 bales between the two inlets to the lake. 2. In addition to barley bales to

CFWs are man-made ecosystems that mimic natural wetlands and support plant growth hydroponically. The root systems of the plants hosted in the floating wetland filter, consume and break

down nutrients. It is estimated that one 250-square-foot CFW has the root and microbial surface area equivalent to nearly 175 times that of a natural wetland, and has the potential to mitigate approximately 11,000 pounds of algal biomass growth per year. 3. Since cyanobacteria species prefer calm waters, the project team will install an aeration system in the lake. Enhancing water movement can improve the water chemistry and make dissolved nutrients less available to algae. This system will be installed at the north end of the lake, where water levels are deeper. This combined approach will control the oversaturation of nutrients in the waterbody, thereby decreasing the risk of HABs at Rosedale Lake. Our 2020 Roots for Rivers Reforestation Grant will also assist in enhancing water quality at the lake by planting approximately 1,500 trees and shrubs in the five-acre lawn and meadow matrix adjacent to one of the lake’s tributaries.
