World of Paine

By Diccon hyAtt

Bordentown may be the one place in the world where the most progressive of America’s founding fathers gets his due.

After all, most of the great colo-nial revolutionaries didn’t advo-cate for abolishing slavery. Most of them never spoke out in favor of women’s rights. Most of them thought only landowners should be allowed to vote.

Many today wave away these shortcomings by saying that abo-litionism, feminism and universal suffrage were ideas whose time had not yet come.

But those excuses ring hollow if you read the writings of Thomas Paine, the author of the radical pamphlet “Common Sense” that was the best-seller of 1776. At dif-ferent times, Paine wrote in favor of women’s rights, fulminated against slavery and proposed a form of government that would have been more democratic than the one that was eventually adopted.

Yet Paine is one of the most overlooked historical fi gures from that time.

“He was really kind of a forgot-ten founding father,” said Doug Palmieri, president of the Thomas Paine Society of Bordentown.

Palmieri is one of a handful of citizens who are trying to make

Waterfrontconstruction set for AprilBy AleXAnDRA yeARly

Bordentown Township is ready to make a waterfront transit vil-lage a reality.

The township has approved plans for the construction of the Bordentown Waterfront Tran-sit Village to begin in April. The 90-acre site, which has been vacant for more than 20 years, has the township’s blessing to be trans-formed into a place where its resi-dents will have access to the river.

The plan calls for market-rate apartments, affordable senior hous-ing, commercial shops, a fi shing pier and walkway, parks and the construction of a River Line station.

It’s the fi rst time in nearly 100 years that the property, the only section of Bordentown Township that touches the Delaware River, will be accessable to the public. Before that, public use was pre-vented because of industrial needs.

The location had been operated by the North American Marine Salvage Company up until the early 1980s, when the ship salvage yard closed down. In 2002-2003, the township considered allowing a power plant to be constructed in the abandoned space, but after numerous complaints and protests from residents, the township did not follow through with the project.

In 2005, Jeffrey Albert approached the township with a new proposition.

Princeton mayoral election pits old veteran against grassroots campaigner

Meet the candidates

By Diccon Hyatt

On Nov. 6, residents of the bor-ough and the township alike will go to the polls to pick a mayor and council for their new united government.

The mayoral candidates are Democrat Liz Lempert and Repub-lican Richard Woodbridge.

Woodbridge The Echo interviewed Wood-

bridge on the porch of his Prosepct Avenue home overlooking Lake Carnegie, where he lives with his wife Karen, Princeton University’s director of community relations. They have three adult children.

Woodbridge, an intellectual property lawyer, is returning to local politics after a 20 year absence. In the 1980s and early 90s, he served in the governments of the borough and the township.

It was a newspaper editorial that brought him back, he said.

“The Packet had run an edito-rial in early February, basically saying, ‘Why are no Republicans running for office?’ I read it and apparently a few of my friends read it, and said, ‘You really should run.’”

He added, “Politics is a disease that only goes into remission.”

Woodbridge said that although he faces an uphill battle, with only 12 percent of the voters in the

Princeton Summer Theater to perform 4 productions

By Lexie [email protected]

Four shows, 10 weeks and a whirlwind pace keeps Princeton Summer Theater members busy once school lets out.

PST’s goal is to give Princeton University students and recent

grads who have serious interest in theater the experience of working, running a show and acting inten-sively in a professional environ-ment for 10 grueling weeks.

“It’s a big commitment, and it’s very much a communal thing,” said PST communications director Julia Bumke. “You have to really learn to step up, and if you aren’t doing something, asking what you can do. It’s very much willing to be flexible and pitch in wherever there’s help needed.”

2012 marks the 44th year of PST productions, which have been per-formed in the Hamilton Murray Theater on campus since the pro-gram’s inception.

Bumke said this season will focus on the idea of travel, with four plays that are eachevocative of their locales.

The season was set to begin with “A Little Night Music,” set in Swe-den, June 21-24 and June 28-July 1. The production is the season’s

Sourlands a farmer’s nightmare and a hiker’s paradiseBy Sam Sciarrotta

Acidic soil, standing water, dia-base boulders and a lack of septic capability are all qualities that are generally not desirable for land to have. For the Sourlands, though, they are what allows its land to thrive.

“It happens to be located almost exactly equidistant from New York City and Philadelphia,” D&R Gre-enway Director of Stewardship Jim Amon said, “As the suburban sprawl from the cities came out, the Sourlands were not in the front line…the Sourlands were really lucky to have this combination of things that allowed it to be passed by as development came to Cen-tral New Jersey.”

The Sourlands is the area sur-rounding the Sourland Mountain. It stretches from Hunterdon Coun-try to Mercer County, and part of the area, including the Sourlands Ecosystem Preserve, owned by D&R Greenway, is nestled right in Hopewell. Amon said that it is the largest contiguous forest in Cen-tral New Jersey, which means that it is, for the most part, untouched by roads and other man-made developments.

Amon said some think that the Sourlands got its name from a German family with a similar last name. “That’s not the theory that

Princetons being registered Republicans, he hopes his experience in both the township and borough governments will win some independents and Democrats over to his side.

“It seemed like you needed at least some kind of contest to make it interesting,” he said.

Woodbridge has been a lawyer since 1971 and before that was an engineer. He has worked for several law firms over the years and currently is a partner in the Lawrencev-ille office of Fox Rothschild. His clients have mostly been technology companies. He is also an inventor, holding a 1960 patent for a self-capping mechanism for pens, markers and glue sticks.

Woodbridge was born and raised in Princ-eton and has a degree in electrical engineer-

ing from Princeton and a law degree from George Washington University.

Woodbridge was a committeeman for the township between 1990 and ‘92 and served as mayor the last two years of his term. He was a councilman in the borough from 1977 to 1987, serving as council president in 1984. During that time, he was appointed police and fire commissioner and chairman of the public works committee.

He has also served on numerous local nonprofit boards.

Woodbridge said his main priority as mayor of the united Princeton would be mak-ing the town a more affordable place to live.

“I think the saddest thing is that we’ve lost a lot of the lower and middle-income families that I knew when I was growing up in town when I was in school here,” he said. “My prior-ity is keeping the towns as affordable as possi-ble so we don’t lose that inclusiveness and that diversity that’s natural rather than subsidized.”

Woodbridge said he would keep taxes down by constantly re-evaluating the perfor-mance of programs and starting every bud-get with a “base zero” assumption so that programs wouldn’t take on a life of their own and exist through precedent and longevity.

He also said he would bring a regional focus to the government, and that he would reach out to other mayors and governments and work together to promote tourism and the growth of the tech industry on the Route 1 corridor.

Woodbridge said he sees himself more on the pragmatic side of the Republican party rather than the extreme ideological side.

“I do not see a proper place for national politics in local politics,” he said. “Even though I’m very pleased and humbled to be nominated for the Republican Party and have run a number of times, the campaign will be strictly a nonpartisan campaign. That’s why we’ve chosen the slogan, ‘One Princeton, one spirit,’ to try to make it clear that it’s an inclusive big tent.”

LempertThe Echo interviewed Lempert over the

phone. She lives in the Littlebrook neighbor-hood with her husband Ken Norman and

two daughters. Norman is an associate pro-fessor of psychology at Princeton University.

Lempert, who is currently the Deputy Mayor of Princeton Township, grew up in San Mateo, Calif., and moved to Princeton 11 years ago. She is a graduate of Stanford University.

Lempert grew up with dreams of becom-ing a science journalist. After an internship with the public radio station WBUR in Bos-ton, she became a writer, producer and edi-tor for the public radio show about the envi-ronment, “Living on Earth.”

She quit her job to become a full-time mother shortly after moving to Princeton. Lempert said that although she loved Princ-eton immediately, she never considered run-ning for office until 2007, when she attended a camp training volunteers for the Obama campaign.

“I really wanted to help elect Obama in a meaningful way,” she said.

And she did. Lempert was recruited to head up a Mercer County grassroots Obama group called Mercer4Obama, and helped the group grow to about 3,000 members.

She was elected as a committee member three and a half years ago, and has served on the Joint Township-Borough Finance Com-mittee, the Transition Task Force and sev-eral other committees. She also is a found-ing member of the advocacy group Save Our Schools NJ.

However, Lempert’s experience with the Obama election was not her first experience on the campaign trail.

Lempert’s mother, Sue Lempert, was the mayor of San Mateo. As a child, Liz helped alphabetize shoe boxes full of index cards with voter information, helped with mailings and went door-to-door with her mom.

Lempert said her number one priority as mayor would be to see through the success of consolidation and making sure the tax savings and enhanced services promised by the process would materialize.

“It’s also important to me that Princeton become a real leader in sustainability,” she said.

Lempert said it was also important to her to make sure the characters of individual neighborhoods are preserved throughout the consolidation process.

Lempert said that cooperation is the hall-mark of her leadership style. She said a good example of that style in action was the con-troversy over a senior housing development on Princeton Ridge that pitted environmen-talists against senior housing advocates. Lempert said she helped guide the process that ended with the housing development being allowed, but with a much smaller foot-print than originally planned, and with 80 percent of the property being preserved as open space.

“I think in the end, it’s a compromise where everybody can walk away feeling that they got a lot of what they wanted, and that it’s a solution that was good for the commu-nity,” she said.

Got mass? Princeton scientists doA Princeton University-led team of sci-

entists has shown how electrons moving in certain solids can behave as though they are a thousand times more massive than free electrons, yet at the same time act as speedy superconductors.

The Princeton research has revealed that a hard-to-measure process known as quan-tum entanglement determines the mass of electrons moving in a crystal and the delicate tuning of this entanglement can strongly alter the properties of a material.

Observations made over the last 30 years indicate that electrons in certain solids behave as particles with masses hundreds to thou-sands of times larger than that of electrons moving freely in a vacuum. Until now, how-ever, researchers had been unable to under-stand how this happens and lacked the tools to explore the connection between this process and the superconductivity of heavy electrons.

The researchers also showed how the pro-cess can be understood based on quantum theories of electron behavior. Subatomic particles such as electrons can exhibit strange behavior because of quantum entan-

glement, which can mix diametrically oppo-site behaviors together. By comparing the data with theoretical calculations, the study shows that heavy electrons emerge from entanglement of two opposite behaviors of electrons, one in which they are localized aroundindividual atoms and the other in which they are hopping freely from atom to atom in the crystal.

The research was primarily supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Basic Energy Sciences program. Additional sup-port came from the National Science Foun-dation’s Materials Research Science and Engineering Center program through the Princeton Center for Complex Materials; the W.M. Keck Foundation; and the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Transformative Technology Fund at Princeton.

Princeton scientists on the team included postdoctoral scientist Pegor Aynajian and graduate students Eduardo da Silva Neto and András Gyenis. The team also included Ryan Baumbach, Joseph Thompson and Eric Bauer from LANL and Zachary Fisk from UC Irvine.

only musical, which also has the largest cast with 15 actors and 9 pit members. Most pro-ductions have about five actors.

July 5-8 and 12-15, PST actors will per-form “Gaslight,” a psychological thriller set in turn-of-the century London. Gaslight tells the story of a husband who tries to convince his wife she’s losing her mind, and enlists the help of the servants in his plot.

“Boeing-Boeing,” a “slamming doors” type comedy that depicts 1960s Paris, takes the stage July 19-22 and 26-29. The invention of the Boeing jetliner proves to be detrimen-tal for one American playboy, whose three fiances, all air stewardesses, arrive at his home at once due to the speed of the new aircraft.

In August, the season is set to wrap up with “The American Plan,” set in the Catskills in the 1960s.

Once the season begins, PST members commit to 12-hour work days, every day. Often, rehearsals for an upcoming show are held in the morning, and the cast performs another show for the audience the same night.

But even with the whirlwind of produc-tions bleeding into one another, it’s impor-tant for each show to take the audience somewhere new.

“That’s what I love about summer stock company, is you have to do a lot in a small amount of time,” said Jeff Van Velsor, the technical director for all the shows. “It’s always impressive to see how different you can make each show feel.”

Van Velsor isn’t a stranger to the constant activity that goes on with these produc-tions. During the year, the Trenton resident works as technical director at Princeton Day School, and also spent 10 seasons working with McCarter Theatre in Princeton.

Maeve Brady, a rising Princeton Univer-sity sophomore, is a full company actor who will perform in all four productions. Her roles require her to encompass a range a characters, from the witty and clever Char-

lotte in “A Little Night Music” to the cau-tious older maid in “Gaslight,” the house-keeper juggling the craziness that ensues in “Boeing-Boeing” and finally, the mother of a lovesick teen in “The American Plan.”

Having the summer to focus on acting has afforded Brady the time to immerse herself in this kind of production schedule.

“What makes this type of thing possible is we don’t have any schoolwork to do … we do nothing but this for twelve hours a day,” Brady said. “It’s kind of a taste of being part of a real theater company … it’s given me that experience and that opportunity to see what’s really involved in something like this.”

Because of the nonstop schedule, Brady has used more time off the stage to research and understand her roles, which she would normally have done during rehearsal time in a typical production.

Bumke said she and the executive board members sought to challenge the cast mem-bers with different roles in each production.

“It’s a really madcap pace, but it’s really exciting, especially for the actors as they’re going though it, because they get to sink [their] teeth into three meaty roles that pull [them] in different directions … we’re very much focused on giving people different types of challenges,” Bumke said. “We don’t want to typecast anyone.”

Jeff Laskey, the musical director for “A Lit-tle Night Music,” anticipated that the thrill of activity and the pass of the cast members is what will translate to audiences throughout the season.

“Every production is gonna have a real sense of energy and enthusiasm to it … all of the plays are really gonna have that element to it, which is very exciting, just to have a place you’re seeing young people in their element. They’re doing this because they love it,” he said.

PST performances take place Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday at 2 p.m. Phone: (609) 258-7062. On the Web: princetonsummertheater.com.

I subscribe to,” he said. “My theory is that when farmers have highly acidic soils, they put lime on them, and they refer to that as sour land that they are sweetening. The Sourlands are really acidic soils, so I think that was them saying ‘You don’t want to farm up there because it’s all sour land.’”

Amon and D&R Greenway acquired the land around 1994 but didn’t really begin to focus on it until the turn of century. He takes care of the Sourlands Ecosystem Preserve, doing things like laying out and maintaining trails, defining the borders of the property, controlling invasive plants and managing deer hunters. Hunting is allowed Monday-Saturday during the season.

“Deer are one of the big problems in nearly all of New Jersey,” he said. “We don’t have deer hunters because we hate deer. We have deer hunters because we love the for-est and we’re trying to preserve and make it possible for the forest to regenerate.”

Aside from deer, other mammals that passersby can see include foxes, raccoons, coyotes and the occasional bear. Birds, though, seem to be what people really come to be. The area has a strong presence of rare birds that attract bird watchers and orni-thologists. “It’s a wonderful place for bird-watching, for both birds that are migrating through, but it’s also a summer habitat for a wide variety of somewhere in the vicinity of 120 species of birds,” Amon said, “There are a lot of really fabulously wonderful birds to see.”

Sharyn McGee, a Pennington resident, studies birds in the Sourlands by monitor-ing their populations, mapping their songs by ear and determining how they use the habitat. She goes on the trails, sometimes her own, at least once a week but sometimes up to four times a week, depending on the study. She took her first data in the Sour-lands in 2004.

“The Sourlands are incredibly important for preserving the biodiversity in the area,” McGee said. “It is the only part of Central New Jersey that has a healthy enough forest to support some of the rare breeding birds. If these areas are lost, the birds are gone from the area for good.”

In addition to bird watching, hiking and casual walking are both popular in the Sour-lands. Nine different trails span over eight miles in the preserve.

“The trails aren’t too advanced,” Amon said. “A lot of people who just love to be out in nature and take a walk in it. It’s more nature lovers and bird watchers than it is the really serious hiking population.”

Amon said that in addition to D&R Green-way, groups like the Stonybrook/Millstone Watershed Association and the New Jersey Audubon Society lead occasional walks and hikes through the area.

Another popular area of which the Sour-lands are inclusive is Baldpate Mountain. The property, previously owned by the Kuser family, is popular because it provides the feeling of being completely enveloped in the wilderness.

2nd community mile run a success More than 60 members of the community

and surrounding towns came out to run a mile and have a good time on June 13 at the second annual Princeton Community Mile.

The community running event was held at the Princeton High School Track and fea-tured participants ranging in age from 8 to 65. Five heats were created so that everyone had the opportunity to run with others in a similar pace range.

The top finisher in the first heat was 12-year old Princeton resident Gus Binnie in a time of 7:21, followed by Ethan Jones in 7:28.6 and Luke Wingreen in 7:36.1.

In the second heat, Lawrenceville resi-dent Tim Christian finished first in 6:35.7, followed by Armand Meyer in 6:45.3 and Angela Pinheiro in 6:49.

In the third heat, Princeton resident Anto-nio Pinheiro finished first in 5:35.4, followed by Jeremy Cohen in 5:36.7 and Richard O’Brien in 5:43.7.

In the fourth heat, Skillman resident Fra-ser Marlow finishing first in 5:22.4, followed by Jeff Knoll in 5:25.3 and Chuck Hetzler in 5:26.9.

In the final heat, Princeton resident Michael Fonder set a new Princeton Com-munity Mile record with a time of 4:27.2. Chris Sallade finished second in 4:45.3 and Steven Sipprelle third in 4:47.8.

Jen Found of Hopewell recorded the fast-est female time of the evening in 5:36.8.

Mercer County naturalist Jennifer Rog-ers said that this is the result of the forest’s recovery process.

“You see a forest that is starting to heal itself,” she said. “There have been a lot of restoration projects. In most mature for-ests, you should not be able to see through the trees. Walking at Baldpate, you’re sur-rounded by the forest’s reappearing shrub layer and undestroyed trees. It’s like walk-ing through a school hallway with lockers all along the walls.”

Patricia Sziber, executive director of the Friends of Hopewell Valley Open Space, shares a similar perspective.

“You can look around and all you see are trees,” she said. “On some of the woodland trails, there are trees that arch over. You can hear the birds singing and the frogs chirp-ing. The woods are so extensive. It’s not a virgin forest, but it’s coming back and look-ing like old growth.”

There are about 12 miles of natural trails that reach across the area. They vary in dif-fi culty and layout. For example, the main driveway up Fiddlers Creek Road is wide and paved, but it runs completely uphill. Other trails may be steeper, more narrow or more rugged. One trail leads to a small pond which Rogers said is good for children who want to fi sh.

She also said that the trails can accommo-date hikers of various skill levels, horseback riding, cross country skiing during the win-ter, and mountain biking.

Pete Garnich, owner of Knapp’s Cyclery in Lawrenceville, rides the trails two or three

times a week with his family. In fact, they love the area so much, he built a house right near the property just so he and his family could be close to the mountain.

“I like the nature of it,” he said. “It’s not super well-groomed. Some parks are cut back and perfect, but Baldpate is just kind of raw. It’s a gem. I’ve ridden all over the coun-try, and the riding here is just awesome.”

Rogers and Sziber both said that Baldpate is also popular with birders.

“It’s a great habitat for birds,” Sziber said. “You always get birds that you’re not likely to see elsewhere because of the size of the forest. They migrate from Central America and South America because they need the deep forest. Mainly, the interest is in the birds.”

Rogers said that Baldpate is home to sev-eral rare plants as well, both in the natural and man-made parts of the area.

“There are a lot of plants that the Kusers brought back from their excursion,” she said. “There are tree species around the main house and orchard from all different parts of the world. It’s a really unique display of ornamental trees from different countries around the house.”

The Sourlands and Baldpate Mountain are not the only hiking destinations in the Hopewell Valley area, though.

“Mercer Meadows has a large open space,” Rogers said. “There’s also Rosedale Park, Washington Crossing Park and Mer-cer County Park. Each one of the parks has a different draw. A lot of them have recre-ational and natural areas that mesh well.”

P Joseph Savino, the managing partner of

the Savino Finiancial Group of Northwest-ern Mutual Financial Network in Princeton, likes to help young professionals get a head start in the financial industry.

Savino says his business prides itself on the financial training it provides to college interns — some 40 of them this summer alone, spread across four locations — in hopes of building tomorrow’s financial professionals and entrepreneurs.

This is fitting because it is how Savino himself started out. A native of Long Island, Savino earned his bachelor’s degree in business at the Uni-versity of Rhode Island, where he also interned for what then was known as the Northwest Mutual Agency in Trenton. In 1983, Savino took over the firm and is now the managing partner of a company that has been around for about 85 years.

By Scott morgan

Expanding firm builds future professionalsSavino Financial hosts college interns

throughout the entire school year, and the program is part of the firm’s goals of expand-ing in the Princeton market. The company has been recognized by the Vault Guide To Internships as having one of the top 10

internship programs in the United States for 15 consecu-tive years.

Savino says the firm, which employs about 40 people in the Princeton office and another 40 or so in its offices in Wall, Clinton and New-town (its newest), is hoping to hire another seven or eight financial advisors at the Alex-ander Road headquarters.

“We’re most excited by our expansions,” Savino says, adding that his firm offers a generous plate of salary, commissions and benefits. “It’s an awesome program,

actually.”Savino says his firm is driven by client-

centered service, something not all financial firms can boast. The company offers a full

UMCPP earns top grade for patient safetyThe clinical care provided by University

Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro received an “A” in patient safety from The Leapfrog Group, an independent, national nonprofit working to improve the safety, quality and affordability of healthcare.

The June 6 announcement by The Leap-frog Group reported the results of the Hos-pital Safety Score, which is calculated using publicly available data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infec-tions. More than 2,600 hospitals nationwide were evaluated, and only about one fourth of those earned an “A” grade.

“This is a significant achievement for everyone in our organization,” said Barry

S. Rabner, President and CEO of Princ-eton HealthCare System, a comprehensive healthcare system that includes UMCPP. “We have all been working for years to help our patients be as safe as possible. All of our employees understand how they contrib-ute to creating a safe environment for our patients and are committed to what they do.”

Until last month, care was provided at the 93-year-old hospital campus in Princeton. The new UMCPP, near Route 1 in Plains-boro, opened on May 22.

The Leapfrog Group, based in Washing-ton, D.C., is a partnership of major private and public employers and other large pur-chases of health coverage.

range of risk management prod-ucts (life and disability insurances, long term care insurance, annui-ties) and investment products

(such as money markets, mutual funds, and stocks).

Savino Financial, which has sold more than $7 billion in fi nancial

products (and paid out more than $5 billion in 2011 to clients who own life, annuities, disability and long-term care policies) also has

the bragging rights to an enviable list of recognitions. It was ranked among Selling Power magazine’s annual “50 Best Companies to

Sell For” list in 2007. It has been repeatedly named to Fortune’s “World’s Most Admired Compa-nies List.” And it even was given money by a nonprofi t — $50,000 from the Special Olympics, in rec-ognition of the fi rm’s volunteerism efforts over the years.

Outside the offi ce, Savino likes to travel, is an avid golfer, and is even more an avid supporter of high school and college wrestling. In fact, he attended Rhode Island on a wrestling scholarship, and still coaches wrestling teams in the area. He also is a past presi-dent of the National Association of Managing Partners.

Back inside the offi ce, Savino likes to see himself and his fi rm as family-oriented. His wife, Joanne, a one-time nurse, is the company’s director of marketing, and two of his three adult children work for the company (though, for the record, he doesn’t like to single them out because he doesn’t want

to give them special treatment over the rest of his employees).

“I’d feel remiss if I didn’t say we have awesome people and a great staff,” he says. “We’re like a family here.”Savino Financial Group is

Community News Service, U.S. 1 Publishing Co. mergeThe owners of Community News Service,

LLC, in Lawrence and U.S. 1 Publishing Co., in Princeton, have merged the two com-panies to create a single company publish-ing 10 community newspapers with a total circulation of more than 160,000 in Mercer County and central New Jersey.

The combined company publishes on average more than 520 pages per month.

Jamie Griswold and Tom Valeri, co-pub-lishers of Community News Service, and Richard K. Rein, founding editor and pub-lisher of U.S. 1, share ownership of the new company, Community News Service, LLC. Rein will serve as editorial director of the new company and will continue as edi-tor of the weekly U.S. 1 Newspaper and the biweekly West Windsor-Plainsboro News.

Griswold and Valeri will be co-publishers of the combined company, which also pub-lishes newspapers in Trenton, Ewing, Ham-ilton, Lawrence, Robbinsville, Hopewell, Princeton and Bordentown.

“I was a reporter and writer who found myself suddenly immersed in the business of journalism 27 years ago when I founded U.S. 1,” said Rein, who previously worked for Time magazine and as a free-lancer for People, New Jersey Monthly and many other publications. “Jamie Griswold and Tom Valeri are businesspeople who got involved in community journalism. The merger brings new strength to both sides.”

In his career, Griswold held positions

in business development and sales before entering the news business. In 1997, he started up the Café Olé coffeehouse on South Warren Street in Trenton and grew it into a successful business before selling it in 2003. In 2001, Griswold founded the Trenton Downtowner, which would become the first of eight monthlies.

“Our merger with U.S. 1 sees one thriving publish-ing company joining with another,” Griswold said. “We both see reporting on and serving the local community as foundational to the suc-cess of a modern publication, so uniting our companies and our vision was an easy decision.”

Valeri is a Ewing native and businessper-son with a long history of community involve-ment. In 2003, he partnered with Griswold to start a second monthly, the Ewing Observer. Since then, Valeri and Griswold together founded six more monthly publications: the Hamilton Post (2005), the Lawrence Gazette (2007), the Robbinsville Advance (2008), the Hopewell Express (2009), the Princeton Echo (2010) and the Bordentown Current (2012), their first publication covering an area outside Mercer County.

“Another attractive part of the merger was that we had virtually no overlap in circula-

tion coverage or advertisers,” Valeri said. “We also feel strongly that each of our news-papers should have its own community iden-tity, and U.S. 1 followed that same approach when it started its West Windsor-Plainsboro paper.” Publication of WW-P News began in

2000.All three owners are long-

time residents of the area.The new company, which

has a total of 21 full-time employees, will continue to operate in two locations. The monthly publications will be edited at 15 Princess Road, Suite K, Lawrence. The non-monthly publications — U.S. 1 and the WW-P News — will be edited at 12 Roszel Road, Suite C-205, Princeton.

Advertising, production and other busi-ness operations will be concentrated at 15 Princess Road.

The combined company also has staked its claim in the digital world, operating six websites in addition to its suite of print publi-cations. All of the existing websites — princ-etoninfo.com, wwpinfo.com, mercerspace.com, mercerdeals.com, princetonecho.com and bordentowncurrent.com — will con-tinue to operate as usual.

For more information, contact Griswold or Valeri at (609) 396-1511, or Rein at (609) 452-7000.

The combined company publishes 10 community newspapers with a total circulation of more than 160,000.

When Marisa Gonzalez came up to bat on May 7 with 106 career hits as a member of the Princeton High School softball team, she only had one thing on her mind.

“I just wanted to get on base for my team,” she said.

She did just that with a single, but it was more than just a base hit. With that single, Gonzalez became the school’s hits leader — as a junior.

“I knew she would do it,” head coach Dave Boehm said. “She has a lot of speed and a lot of hits piled on early in her career. I knew she’d get there. She’ll go way beyond it and make the school record almost unattainable. She works hard. She deserves it.”

The record was previously held by Deanna Boehm, the coach’s daughter.

“There was defi nitely some teasing at our banquet and during the season,” Gonzalez said.

“I told her I was going to bench her after she reached 100 to make her wait,” Boehm said.

Gonzalez said that while she did not think too much about breaking the record, she felt a sense of relief once she reached 100 hits.

“I was able to just move on,” she said.Boehm said Gonzalez is not the type to be

concerned with individual records. He said she puts things like that on the back burner.

For Gonzalez, the team seems to always come fi rst.

“She’s a team leader,” Boehm said. “She really took control this season with the cap-taincy. I even sent her down with the JV team to help the coaches down there so they could get better, and she did it without ques-tion. She’s very giving of her time.”

He said Gonzalez is “the best player we’ve ever had at Princeton High School.”

He said she has the perfect combination of running, hitting and fi elding abilities. Off of the fi eld, Boehm said Gonzalez is just as dependable. He said she is always willing to help and donate her time. He attributes this partially to her upbringing.

“She comes from a good family,” he said. “Her parents are at every game. She has a lot of support from her family.”

Boehm said her accomplishment cannot be overstated.

“It has a lot to do with the team,” he said.

“Other kids play a lot of seven-inning games with four to fi ve at-bats per game. When you’re getting 10-run-ruled, you get two or three. It’s a real accomplishment for a

Princeton kid because they don’t go as far in the tour-naments. They don’t play as many innings. She’d get more at-bats as the team got better. It’s really something for a Princeton High School team.”

Gonzalez said that this sea-son has been her best yet at Princeton due to her team-mates and their chemistry on and off the fi eld.

Gonzalez has a lot to look forward to with an entire soft-ball season still ahead of her next year. She said she hopes to see the team do as well as

or better than they did this season.Boehm said that with Gonzalez as the

team’s “spark plug,” that is very plausible.“Hopefully we’ll get at least 10 wins,” he

said. “It’s a lot of pressure on a kid, but she handles it. She generates offense. She had 38 RBI this year. That’s a third of the team total. She’ll be fi ne.”

Gonzalez hopes that next season will pro-vide a successful end to her Princeton career as well as help prepare her for college play.

“I’m excited,” she said. “Coach is already making plans for next season. We have a whole other year to be so much more. This isn’t the end. I think I’ll have a nice ending to my high school softball career.”

At the start of the spring track and fi eld season, Princeton High senior Bry-ell Wheeler was told by jumps coach Ben Samara that she was going to start doing the triple jump for the fi rst time in her career.

As the season went on, Samara began tell-ing her a few more things.

“He kept saying, ‘You’re gonna go to Meet of Champs, and I just kept looking at him, and I’m like, “Ohhhkaaay,” Wheeler said. “And he said, ‘You’re gonna get the county record, you’ll see.’ I started believing him after I got to 38. And then he said I was going to get 39.”

As it turns out, Samara is a pretty smart guy.

Wheeler’s fi rst inkling of that came when she won the Mercer County Meet with a jump of 38 feet, 1-1/4 inches. That was the highlight of a banner day in which she also

Once-gymnast makes a name for herself in track and fieldwon the 100 meters and long jump while taking fourth in the 200 meters as the Little Tigers won their fi rst MCT team title by one point over West Windsor-Plainsboro South.

In the Central Jersey Group III meet, Wheeler set a meet record with a triple jump of 38-feet, 6-1/2 inches, and also won the 100, took third in the long jump and sixth in the 200 to help Princeton to another team championship by six points over Neptune.

The following weekend, Wheeler made all three of Samara’s predictions come true at South Plainfi eld’s Jost Stadium. She quali-fi ed for the Meet of Champions by fi nish-ing second by one inch to Mount Olive’s Keturah Orji. She cracked the 39-feet mark by going 39-2½, which also happened to set the Mercer County record. She broke the former mark of Notre Dame’s Adrienne Wil-liams by three inches.

“I didn’t care that I didn’t win the gold,” Wheeler said. “I PR’rd (set a personal record). It’s not always about winning.”

Wheeler slipped back in the Meet of Champions, with a jump of 38-1, but that was still good enough to place, as the top eight fi nishers earned medals.

It capped an interesting high school career for Wheeler, who started out in ath-letics by doing skips, fl ips and dances.

“I always knew I wanted to run,” she said. “When we were in elementary school, we would have the shuttle run, and I always liked getting the block fi rst and running back. But if I wasn’t a runner, I’d be a gymnast because I did gymnastics for seven years.”

She specialized in bars and beam, neither of which really gave her much of a frame-work for running and jumping in track. But she had good genes as her mother, Minyette Thompson, went to the Junior Olympics before quitting track to become a cheer-leader at Princeton High.

“The (former) principal (William John-son) at John Witherspoon School told me ‘I remember your mom, she was really good. We used to call her FloJo,’” Wheeler said. “I always try to get me and my mom to race but she won’t do it.”

Just before her dad, Terrell Wheeler, passed away when she was in fourth grade, Bryell Wheeler promised him she wouldn’t give up doing sports. By sixth grade, she realized there were no gymnastics programs in Mercer County high schools so she switched to track in order to further investi-gate her speed and keep her promise to her dad.

“Nobody really encouraged me or pushed me into it,” Wheeler said. “My uncle (former PHS athlete John Thompson) always told me I could be really good, but my uncle and mom always told me it was up to me what I wanted to do.”

At Witherspoon, Wheeler was basically a sprinter. She began long jump as a Little Tiger freshman and had varying degrees of success in sprints and jumps her fi rst two years. As a junior, Wheeler ran winter track but skipped the spring season in order to get her grades up.

She came back with a vengeance this sea-son and was delighted when Samara, who came over from Hopewell Valley after coach-ing some of the state’s top high jumpers, decided to put her in the triple jump.

“It was Ben Samara’s idea,” she said. “I always wanted to try it. I wanted to try it in 10th grade but the coach always said no. So this year he threw me in it.”

In the spring, she jumped a 31-6 at the Poreda Invitational at Lawrenceville in April, and was on her way.

“(Samara) was like ‘You have so much more in you,’ and I’m just looking at him,” Wheeler said with a laugh. “I said ‘I’m jump-ing. I don’t know what else you want me to do.’”

He told her what to do, and her marks got progressively better as the season went along. It would seem strange that she sur-passed her long jump ability during her fi rst season in triple jump, until listening to Wheeler’s explanation.

“I honestly think long jump is harder than triple,” she said. “I can’t keep my feet in the air long enough. In the triple jump you sort of extend, and I think it’s easier.

“It’s kind of hard in the beginning. You have to balance off one foot and remember to go off the other. It took me about week to get that down.”

When she did, she became an integral part of one of the greatest PHS girls’ teams in school history. She had a jumping part-ner in Madeline Lea, who would consistently beat Wheeler in long jump and fi nish just behind her in triple.

The distance team was paced by Elyssa Gensib, who fi nished fourth in the 3,200-meter run at the MOC, and Jenna Cody, who also qualifi ed for the Meet of Champs in the 3,200. Amelia Whaley also helped in distances, while Michele Bazile contributed in shot and discus.

“Coach (Jim Smirk) would always tell us we could win this, and we could win that,” said Wheeler, who will continue her career at Rider in the fall. “We just did what we had to do.”

And few people did it better than Wheeler in the triple jump.

The Army Corps builds and renovates all types of boats including research vessels and dredges.

Swanson, from Princeton Junction, will be working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Philadelphia district. Swan-son was honored with multiple awards dur-ing recent commencement ceremonies at Stevens Institute of Technology. Included among her haul was the Daniel Savitsky Award named in honor of a long-time profes-sor at Stevens and a former director of the Davidson Laboratory. It is presented to the outstanding graduating undergraduate stu-dent in Naval Engineering.

She excelled in field hockey and often kept the Ducks afloat. Swanson is a three-time All-Empire 8 performer and was twice named to the first team. The 2011 Empire 8 Player of the Year was a first-team NFHCA all-region honoree in 2010 as well and again this season after finishing with eight goals and six assists in the Stevens midfield.

Swanson was a team captain and started each game for the Ducks over the last three seasons. As a freshman, she played in all 23 games, including 18 starting assignments. She graduated tied for third all-time in points with 68 and tied for second in goals (29). She ranks among the all-time leaders with 10 goals in a season (2009). Nine of her goals were game-winners, including a team-high five in 2009.

gARDening ADventuRes

This summer I had the privilege of being invited to attend a Pennsylvania Horticulture Society judging session for a garden at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital.

Each year, the horticulture society has an award program called the Community Greening Award that goes well beyond the boundaries of Philadelphia and into the tri-state region of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. The Community Greening Award recognizes the horticulture efforts of individuals, groups, garden clubs and busi-nesses dedicated to improving the quality of life through the beautification of public green spaces. Some of these green spaces may include public parks, schools, train sta-tions, churches, hospitals and libraries.

If a site is nominated, a panel of judges will come out in the summer and evaluate for choice of plant variety, design concept, use of space and proper horticultural practices. All of these criteria need to be met for a site to be rec-ognized with a Community Greening Award.

This year, there were 80 public green spaces nominated, and 44 were recognized with an award. Included in the 44 was an out-standing garden at the Trenton Psychiatric

Improving quality of life through horticulture

Fountain in Serenity Garden. (Photo courtesy of Craig Dupée.)

Hospital.Part of the psychiatric hospital’s mission

statement is to assist its patients on their personal path of wellness and recovery and to have a holistic approach to patient care. What better way to help achieve that goal than by developing a garden?

The hospital staff’s concept was to create

a garden in an underused space that staff, patients and clients could use. They came up with a collaborative plan to install pavers to provide a level surface and a means of giving directional flow through the garden.

The foremost design consideration taken into account was safety for garden users. That eliminated plants with thorns, plants or fruits that may be poisonous or dense plants that restrict visibility.

The name of Serenity Garden was aptly chosen and describes the garden’s purpose to provide a respite for those in a mental health institution. Chosen plants were pleas-ing to more than one sense and provided a long, interesting season through color, tex-ture and smell. The planting beds are small to keep the garden as low maintenance as possible. Most of the chosen plants were native and self sowing. The plant material grows together, giving the garden a natural overrun yet attractive look.

Not only was the staff instrumental in planting and maintaining the garden, but the clients were involved with the planting, weed-ing and watering. A fountain was installed for its auditory stimuli, creating a calming atmo-sphere of reflection and meditation. Sturdy benches with tables were added.

The garden has become a popular space for group sessions of art, music, illness manage-ment and recovery classes and psychology consults. Even if someone just needs a fresh air break, this is their decompression destination.

The written comments from one of the judges sums up the principle of this garden quite well: “’Enjoy the serenity’ … was the expression used by one of the clients at this hospital. The selection of plants, the sooth-ing fountain and the beautifully hardscaped courtyard provide a stress-free space and a connection with nature. Congratulations to the group of kind and caring individuals try-ing to change the world one client at a time with great pride and care all through the healing power of a garden.”

This hospital, through a well coordinated horticulture effort, has created a therapeutic environment for the needs of the client with a welcoming, restorative place that lifts the spirit toward wellness and recovery. Congratula-tions on your prestigious gardening award!

Ask The Vet Specialist

Pets CoRneRASPCA helpline staffed 24/7

Got a question about your pet? Experts from NorthStar VETS 24-hour emergency veterinary center in Robbinsville are ready to answer readers’ questions. Send your ques-tions to [email protected].

Q. My dog yawns frequently. It doesn’t matter if he just woke up from a nap or if he’s excited and running around. Is yawning a sign that he’s tired, or does it mean something else?

A. Yawning does not necessarily imply tiredness alone, but that is probably when it occurs most commonly. Some dogs may yawn during exercise as part of a body cool-

ing mechanism since they do not sweat like people do. It can also be a behavioral calm-ing response when interacting with other dogs to convey their mood as part of their body language.

Q. My dog has some behavioral issues from before we got her (we adopted her from a family member when she was 5). Is there anything we can do to change these actions, like excessive growling and biting, or is it really true that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

A. There is no simple solution to aggres-sion issues. Behavioral issues are very dif-fi cult to work with, but older dogs can still be trained successfully. One easy option is to avoid the situations that trigger an aggres-sive response if possible. For example, if your dog growls when you try to make her get off the couch, then she should not be allowed on the couch in the fi rst place. If there is aggression associated with feeding, then your dog should be allowed to eat alone and without interruption.

Scolding or hitting your dog will not be successful. In general, positive reinforce-ment and reward strategies are more likely to yield favorable results than negative rein-forcement or punishment. Sometimes con-sultation with a veterinary behavior special-ist or even mood-altering medications may be needed, but they are not quick fi xes. It is much easier to prevent bad habits when training a younger dog than it is to adjust the behaviors of an older dog, but with time and patience, often times these issues can be improved or eliminated.

—Justin Guinan, DVM, DACVIMQ. Is it necessary to declaw my cat?

Will it hurt my cat to declaw it? A. No, it is not necessary to declaw. You

can encourage the cat to use its claws on scratching posts, keep the nails short or apply Soft Paws. Soft Paws is a product that can be picked up at most pet stores or ordered online. They are plastic covers that are glued over the cat’s nails. They last roughly about a month, so they need to be

re-applied. Your veterinarian can show how to safely trim the cat’s nails.

Declawing is a painful procedure, but the pain is lessened through pain medications, nerve blocks and using a laser to perform the procedure.

Q. What should I do if my dog eats something toxic or inedible? Often times, once something’s in her mouth, she won’t let us get it out. Could this be dangerous?

A. If your dog eats something toxic/inedible, the fi rst thing to do is contact the ASPCA poison control helpline. There is a $65 charge for using the service, but the line is staffed by veterinary toxicologists who have a wealth of information and are avail-able at all times. They may also save you and your pet a trip to the emergency room.
