All in a day’s work

While Pi Day was a town-widecelebration for many Princetoni-ans earlier this month, for theJohn Witherspoon Middle SchoolMathletes team, it was also theroad to mathematical victory.

On Saturday, March 14, math-letes Ben Qi, Theodore Ehren-borg, Lawrence Chen andRichard Qi took first place in thestate Mathcounts competition.

Notably, Ben Qi, 13, placed sec-ond individually in the competi-tion. The talented eighth grader

will now go on to compete for thesecond year in a row at the na-tional level.

The Sun took some time tocatch up with the young Prince-ton brainiac.

The Sun: When did you first re-alize you were good at math? Andwhy did it become an interest of yours?

Ben: I realized that I was decent

at math after narrowly winningthe Princeton Pi Day MathleteChallenge in 2012. It became aninterest by the end of sixth gradebecause I wanted to win chapterMathcounts.

The Sun: How did it feel to takefirst place with your team in thestate Mathcounts competitionthis year?

Ben: The team was No. 1, but Iplaced No. 2 individually. Afterplacing No. 3 in the state with theteam last year, we set the goal toget No. 1 this year. Since this ismy last year, it is especially satis-fying. However, I would be even

happier if I had placed No. 1 indi-vidually, and hope to redeem my-self at the national competition.

The Sun: Since the competitiontook place on Pi Day, what does PiDay mean to you? And how didyou celebrate the special day?

Ben: Pi Day is special to me be-cause it also marks the first evercountdown-style math competi-

The following reports are pro-vided by the Princeton Police De-partment:

An unknown caller contactedthe Princeton Police on March 16and disguised their voice to re-port an alleged ongoing criticalincident taking place at a resi-

dence on the 300 block of Christo-pher Drive. Further investigationrevealed there was no true emer-gency and the call was an act of “swatting,” which is when a callis made to police in an attempt to

hoax the police department intodispatching emergency personnelto a location based on a false re-port of an ongoing critical inci-dent. The investigationwas turned over theDetective Bureau forfollow up.

Subsequent to amotor vehicle stop on March 16, a44-year-old male was found tohave an active warrant out of Wood-Ridge municipal court inthe amount of $360. The Clifton

resident was placed under arrestand transported to headquartersfor processing. He was later re-leased after bail was posted.

Subsequent to amotor vehicle stop onMarch 16, a 30-year-oldmale was found to

have an active warrantissued by the West Windsor mu-nicipal court in the amount of $500. He was subsequently placedunder arrest and transported toheadquarters for processing. He

was later turned over to the WestWindsor Police Department.

Subsequent to a motor vehiclestop on March 17 on NassauStreet, a 21-year-old male wasfound to be in possession of mari-

juana under 50 grams. TheLawrenceville resident was sub-

sequently placed under arrestand transported to headquartersfor processing. He was later re-leased with a pending courtdate.

With a championship now safe-ly under its belt, the fourth- andfifth-grade boys’ Woodwinds bas-ketball team finished off its sea-son unexpectedly strong with an8-1 record. But, the team’s road tovictory was not always seen fromsuch a clear path.

The eight-player team beatMason, Griffin & Pierson, 66-63,on Saturday, March 14 in a four-

overtime game that saw a record53 points scored by Mason, Grif-fin & Pierson’s player-to-beat, WillDoran.

The nail-biting game had theteams neck-and-neck, tradingbaskets for the first half. Doranwas unstoppable. He scored everytime Mason, Griffin & Piersonhad the ball, extending his team’slead into the third quarter.

Down by a whooping 17 points,and with only four minutes left inthe final quarter, comebackseemed insurmountable.

“We had never trailed by dou-ble digits. But we played our bestdefense ever, forcing severalturnovers and converted bigthree-pointers. We sent the gameto overtime and continued apply-ing pressure with our defense.After a record four overtimes, weended up on top,” Coach BrandonYao said of the tense champi-onship game.

“I honestly thought we were

going to lose. I felt that closingthat gap would be too hard. But,the kids never lost hope on thecourt and on the bench,” Coach

Benjamin Tso said.In the closing minutes of the

season’s final game, JaxonPetrone, the team’s main scorer

and leader on the court, nailedthree key three-pointers that putthe Woodwinds back in the game

– this time, as contenders for the

championship title.Not to mention, the team

grabbed almost all of the re-bounds to extend its defense.Teammate Nicola Carusone alsohit another vital three-pointer,bringing the team closer to con-tention. Forcing the other team toturn over the ball, the Woodwindsthen successfully converted thoseturnovers into baskets.

“We tried attacking the lowpost with player Gabe Majeski be-cause we knew layups were the

easiest baskets to make,” Yaosaid.

While both Yao and Tso feel theteam had many strengths to playon this season, and with thanks toa very talented group of excep-tional players, what separatedthis bunch from the rest was itsteamwork and perseverance.

“Each player on the team de-serves our recognition. This sea-son was exciting and unforget-table,” Yao said.

“Seeing the team continue toplay with 110 percent effort on thecourt reminded me that evenwhen the odds are against us, wecannot give up,” Tso said.“Whether we are able to prevailor not in the end, the best thingwe can do for ourselves is to holdtrue to our original hopes andconvictions, and play it out.

“You’ll never know what hap-pens if you do that. But, if yougive in, you’ve already wrote theending.”

Following the departure of Princeton’s animal control offi-cer, Mark Johnson, on Feb. 23,Princeton Council voted onMarch 23 on a temporary animalcontrol services agreement withthe township of Montgomery.

Johnson, who was suspendedlast month from the municipality

for undisclosed reasons, was notterminated from the position, butseparated employment with thetownship, Town Administrator

Marc Dashield said.However, charges that were

brought by Johnson against Ed-ward Linky, a resident of Little-brook Road, were dismissed inPrinceton Municipal Courtaround that same time. Johnsonhad issued two tickets to Linky,one for feeding deer and anotherfor interfering with a bait set-up.Thus, speculation circulated as towhether the two incidents are

connected.According to Dashield, “there

was not enough evidence to provewhether or not Linky actually fed

the deer. But the deer summonseshad nothing to do with the rea-sons behind Johnson’s dis-missal.”

The contract with Mont-gomery, which is not to exceed$15,000, will run through June 30.

According to Dashield, thisagreement is only temporaryuntil Princeton’s animal controlofficer position is filled.

JFCS grateful for communitysupport of Illumination BallOn behalf of Jewish Family & Chil-

dren’s Service of Greater Mercer County, Iwould like to offer my gratitude for theoverwhelming community support of the2015 Illumination Ball, held Feb. 28 at theWestin Princeton Forrestal Village. The

sponsors, guests, auction donors and com-mittee members truly made the eveningspecial and helped us raise much-neededfunds to sustain the variety and high quali-ty of services we provide for the communi-ty.

Through video-storytelling crafted byBurke Wood of Burkewood Creative, thestories of the community honorees, theMercer County Holocaust survivors, wereshared with the audience and woven withthe story of the corporate honoree, DebbieSchaeffer of Mrs. G TV, Appliance andSleep Center. The Holocaust survivors

shared trials and triumphs – and taught usto appreciate and live life. Schaeffer, athird-generation business owner, contin-ues the tradition of her grandmother byserving the community and incorporatingstrong family values into her business

plan.A special thank you goes to our celebrity

guest, Geoff Schwartz, offensive linemanfor the N.Y. Giants. Geoff brought the eventto an exciting new level and continued thetheme of heritage paving the way for thefuture.

Finally, this sold out event would nothave been possible without the tireless ef-forts of the Gala committee, JFCS Board,

staff and volunteers. We hope to see you atnext years’ gala, set for March 5, 2016 at theWestin Princeton Forrestal Village.

McCarter Theatre was delighted to pres-ent a relaxed performance of Ken Ludwig’s“Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery”

on March 18 to an audience of 427 guests.A relaxed performance is one that’s spe-cially designed to welcome members of theautism community and others with senso-ry sensitivities, and their families. It wasthe third time McCarter has held such a

performance and was our biggest turnoutever.

We are grateful to our partners fromEden Autism Services who advised us onhow to make appropriate adaptations toour production and who conducted a train-ing session for our staff and volunteer ush-ers.

We would like to acknowledge the sup-port we received from the New Jersey The-

ater Alliance. The alliance assisted ourmarketing efforts and was in attendanceon Wednesday. Thank you to our amazingcast for so eagerly agreeing to undertakethis special performance.

Lastly, we appreciate the friendship of Rev. Karen Hernandez-Granzen of Tren-ton’s Westminster Presbyterian Churchwho helped us to welcome members of hercommunity to the event and who arrangedfor transportation.

We also wish to thank The Karma Foun-dation whose generous support enabledthis special performance.

It was an extraordinary evening of the-atre for all involved and an event we hopeto repeat in future seasons.

Ok, so the survey in question –

“the Best and Worst States to

Retire,” compiled by

Bankrate.com – didn’t exactly find

that you’d be out of your mind to re-

tire in New Jersey, but it did rank the

Garden State near the bottom of the

list of desirable places to spend the lat-ter portion of your life.

This should not be a shock.

The survey ranks New Jersey 45th

on the list of best places to retire,

based on the fact that the cost of living

is high (45th), the community well

being is low (43rd) and the tax rate is

very high (49th). These factors out-

weight the low crime rate (eighth) andthe above-average weather and health-

care quality.

There’s a reason why so many New

Jerseyans retire elsewhere – it’s

cheaper. And cheaper is better, be-

cause most people would rather see

their hard-earned money go toward

vacations than taxes, for example.

Many retirees go to Florida not just for

the weather but for the absence of a

state income tax.

Maybe if New Jersey was more af-

fordable, more elderly residents would

stay at home, near their friends and

family. But since it’s not, many don’t.

We are probably not the only oneswho laughed when we pondered where

in New Jersey – other than, say, a

beach town such as Ocean City –

would be a “good” place to retire. And

that’s a shame, and a problem all at the

same time.

Our residents shouldn’t have to pre-

pare to leave when they retire.

in our opinion

Want to retire in New Jersey? You must be out of your mind, surv ey says

Walking within the tightgallery space, a “rainbow” of paintings hung side by side,which created an effortless forestof striking images for onlookersto soak in. The exhibit called at-tention to the ever powerful, yettimeless beauty nature offers,whether barren – as seen in win-ter months – or green, leafy and

full of life – as seen throughoutspring and summer.

Each year, Gates’ second-gradestudents learn about landscapeart and artists. This year, shewanted to look to contemporary

artists for inspiration.“I have always been inspired by

Wolf Kahn’s landscape paintings,and this year, the students reallyresponded to the lines and colors

in his work,” Gates said of the ex-hibit’s creative concept. “Welooked at a variety of Kahn’spaintings, talking about color,light, shadow and line.”

Students were given the oppor-tunity to experiment with differ-ent types of lines and learnedabout analogous colors. Analo-gous colors are colors that areside by side on a color wheel.When used together, they create aone-of-a-kind harmony.

“Using a resist technique withwatercolor and oil pastel, the sec-ond graders created some stun-ning effects in their work,” Gatessaid.

The students’ artwork resultedin a plethora of charcoal tower-ing conifers and unyielding birchtrees beautifully set against vi-brant sunset backgrounds,heightened by their original ac-

cents and color washes.“Learning about Kahn was re-

ally fun because I had neverheard of him before this,” saidsecond-grade exhibitor Ellie Ko-

valick. “I also loved trying Kahn’stechniques because it was some-thing new.”

Other Johnson Park School ex-hibitors included Wyatt Arshan,Ben Kisilywicz, Archie Smith,Mac Sundgren, Eliza Tilney-Sandberg, Lily von Roemer andAniya Zahid.

The Olivia Rainbow Gallery isoften noted for holding its ownagainst the fine art of adults, asseen in D&R Greenway LandTrust’s Marie L. Matthews Gal-leries.

Through April 3, Princeton’sLeaning Co-Op will exhibit “Eyeson Nature,” followed by “Na-turescapes,” a Princeton Photog-raphy Club Juried Student Exhi-bition taking place from April 6through May 11.
