Drug bust near school:

Why heroin is now
a community problem

Festive fun at Morven

With a rise in drug-related arrests in Princeton,

Police Chief Sutter discusses plan for prevention
By ERICA CHAYES WIDA
The Sun
On the morning of Nov. 24, just
blocks from Community Park Elementary School, Princeton police made their way to a John
Street residence to execute a
search warrant. While other
Princetonians dropped their kids
at school, drove to work or made
Thanksgiving preparations, a 19year-old girl from Lawrenceville
and a 22-year-old Princeton male
had their lives turned upside
down.
The Princeton male, living on
the 200 block of John Street, was
charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana under 50
grams with intent to distribute,
possession of cocaine, possession
of prescription legend drugs and
possession of an imitation
firearm. All of these charges
were exacerbated by his being
within 1,000 feet of school property and within 500 feet of a public
park and public housing.
The teenage girl was charged
with possession of heroin and

Heroin use is certainly on the
rise statewide, nationally and,
sadly, more prevalent in Princeton than it has been in the past,
Police Chief Nick Sutter said
after the arrest. Were paying attention to people who are distributing. Heroin use and drug addiction are a community concern.
These two local community
members were confined to the
Mercer County Correctional Facility. The Princeton man had his
bail set at $225,000. The girls was
set at $10,000 with a 10 percent
posting option.

Princeton tennis player brings skills to national stage

Joseph Hargrove was one of four South Jersey players contributing to adult teams success
By MIKE MONOSTRA
The Sun
Marlton resident Marc Bertino
knew he was competing with a
very good adult tennis team when
he took the court with a United
States Tennis Association League
team from Washington Crossing,
Pa., this year.
However, he never thought the
team would be one of the best in
the United States.
We were pretty confident wed
get to the district tournament,
Bertino said. But beyond that, I
think we surprised ourselves.
Washington Crossing did much
better than just win its local district. The team qualified for the
USTA Team National Championships on Oct. 30 and advanced
all the way to the championship
match before losing to Dallas,
Texas.
The team included a number of
players from South and Central
Jersey including Bertino, Haddonfield resident Jeoffrey Purnell, Cherry Hill resident Alex
Lawrason and Princeton resident
Joseph Hargrove. The team consisted of about two dozen experienced tennis players from Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Washington Crossing competed in the USTA 40 and older 4.0
adult league. During the regular
season, the team competed
against other teams from around

Special to The Sun

the Philadelphia area. The team
then competed in district and regional tournaments, winning
both to advance to the national
championships at Indian Wells,
Calif. Washington Crossing was
one of 16 teams to advance to nationals. There were about 1,500
teams nationwide who played in
the division this year.
To know that youre one of
only 16 teams to make it out there,
thats a big accomplishment,
Hargrove said.
With the team consisting of

some of the better adult tennis

players from around the area,
Bertino felt the team was going to
be competitive. When the season
started, however, he didnt think
theyd get all the way to the national level.
Purnell said all of the team
members were avid tennis players who practiced anywhere from
four to seven days per week. He
felt this was a key to their success.
Were all playing four to seven
days a week, so we all kind of

trained on our own, Purnell

said.
Prior to going to nationals, the
team practiced together in
Delaware for two days. Lawrason,
who has played for multiple
teams in USTA league in the past,
said the trip was huge in building
camaraderie among the team
members.
The camaraderie was exceptional, Lawrason said. There
was only one other team where
the camaraderie was equivalent.
I played team sports growing

up. I played college baseball at

Drexel, Bertino said. Tennis is
a fun sport, but you dont get the
team camaraderie. Thats whats
nice about the USTA League.
Hargrove had been to nationals
with another team in 2013. He
said the key for a team to make it
to nationals is to have strong
team unity.
The difference with both
teams is that theres good chemistry, Hargrove said. Winning at
the national level means having
good singles and good double
pairings.
This team had quite a few
folks that were able to pair together as a good doubles pairing.
At nationals, Washington
Crossing continued its winning
ways. The team went a perfect 3-0
through the round robin portion
of the event on Oct. 30 and 31 and
advanced to the semifinals on
Nov. 1.
In the semifinals, Washington
Crossing defeated Centennial,
Colo., 4-1, to advance to the national
championship
match
against Dallas. The team fell just
one victory short of being national champions, losing to Dallas, 3-1.
Hargrove said the team was
disappointed after losing the
championship, but the loss didnt
take away from what the team
had accomplished.

Princeton council focuses

on maintaining open space
To date, Princeton has acquired approximately
1,100 acres of passive open space
By VITA DUVA
The Sun
To date, Princeton has acquired approximately 1,100 acres
of passive open space. These
areas deliver environmental services such as absorbing storm
water and cooling air, aesthetic
beauty for town residents, walking paths and other recreational
opportunities. But there is still
work to be done.
While in the past Princeton has
made acquisition a priority, council is now in agreement that it is
time to shift the focus to stewardship.
I think weve done an excellent job of acquiring open space,
with a lot of help over the last
decade or two, but I think the
time is with us now when we need

to start paying more attention to

the maintenance of what we
have, Council President Bernard
Miller said.
According to Wendy Mager,
president of Friends of Princeton
Open Space, who spoke on behalf
of Princetons Open Space Task
Force, maintaining open space is
not costing the town a lot of
money.
However, the principal re-occurring costs include mowing
and garbage and recycling pickup. While Mager explained the
Task Force did not have data on
these costs, mowing falls in the
ballpark of about $20,000, and
garbage and recycling pick-up
only occurs at limited locations.

Recycling campaign collects

800,000 plastic bags
!

Princetonians continue to push council to consider draft bag ordinance

# """ "

By VITA DUVA
The Sun
Princetonians continue to push
council to consider a draft bag ordinance, in hopes that a fee on
single-use plastic bags will be put
into effect.
During councils meeting on
Monday, Nov. 23, councilmembers
came face-to-face with a host of
plastic bag fee advocates, spanning from Princeton residents
and high school students to local
environmental activists.
While this is far from the first
time Princetonians have spoken
up about this matter whether it
is during public comment in a
council meeting or hosting an
event to bring attention and
awareness to the issue many
feel action has yet to be taken.
Last week, Mayor Liz Lempert
said council will be spending December trying to wrap up the
goals it set for 2015, and will be
formulating its goals and priorities for 2016 come early January.
Lempert explained that then

would be the time the issue of a

plastic bag fee could be put on the
list of items to take up for the
coming year.
"We did receive guidance from
the municipal attorney on the
plastic bag fee issue earlier this
year," Lempert said. "Before we
can take up an ordinance, we
would need to conduct data to
show local harm."
In the meantime, the Princeton
Merchants Association, in cooperation with Sustainable Princeton and other non-profit organizations and local merchants, implemented a plastic bag recycling
campaign called Learning our
ABCs in the summer.
The effort encourages merchants to ask first if customers
need a bag, encourage residents
to bring your own bag and encourage the use of bins throughout town, homes and the workplace to collect and recycle
plastic bags.
"We are awaiting data from
that project as well, Lempert
said.

MORE ONLINE
For more information and tips
on recycling in Princeton, visit
www.theprincetonsun.com.
While Learning Your ABCs
follows the best landfill waste reduction strategy by emphasizing
reduction first, then reuse and,
lastly, recycling the purpose of
it was to reduce the number of
single-use bags and plastic films
sent to the landfill.
"We have recycled 800,000 bags
so far and I can tell you we are
near pushing 1 million," said
Diane
Landis,
Sustainable
Princeton executive director.
"That's outrageous to me, but
good. Truthfully, this campaign
has been a step forward. It's not
the answer, but it's one answer."
While Landis was unable to release the full report of data collected from the project, she did
say she will be relaying all of the
campaigns findings to council in
the near future.

Princeton Battlefield Society

works to preserve land
Society seeks donations to make preservation a reality
By ERICA CHAYES WIDA
The Sun
As we approach the anniversary of the Battle of Princeton, it
is perhaps time to ponder the significance of preservation. On
Christmas Day, George Washington crossed the Delaware River.
Early in the morning on Jan. 3,
239 years ago, troops stormed the
battlegrounds extending along
Mercer Street.
At present, the Princeton Battlefield Society faces one of its
own fights to save Maxwell Field
from being turned into faculty
housing by the Institute for Advanced Study.
Following the acquisition of
the D'Ambrisi property, we are
now working on a second potential acquisition. We are hopeful
that a similar solution can be
found for Maxwell Field, PBS

Vice President Kip Cherry said.

The Battlefield at Princeton is
more than worthy of preservation, particularly the parcel
threatened with development,
PBS President Jerry Hurwitz said
in a message to the public. Without the institutes 22-acre parcel
(the IAS Project Site), the Princeton Battlefield would be like the
Gettysburg Battlefield shorn of
the site of Picketts Charge.
The societys lawyer on the
case, Bruce Afran, explained that
archaeological surveys confirm
that British and American forces
fought on the land where the IAS
wants to build. According to
Afran, half of the field is already
deemed a National Historic Site
by federal law. However, since the
IAS is technically a government
entity, the law does not prohibit it

Use caution when driving on the roads, especially this time of year

it: People driving around town
throwing caution to the wind,
as if they were on a NASCAR track?
Youd think someone was giving away
free $100 bills.
Do they not know we have children
walking around town? Do they not
care about the safety of other motorists? Do they not care about their
own safety?
Seems like today, everyone is in a
rush at all times; it seems like its getting worse with each passing year.
Somehow, by some miracle, New Jersey drivers arent the worst in the nation, at least according to an annual

Your thoughts
How bad is the driving out there? How can
we get better? Should more regulations
be put on New Jersey drivers to improve
safety? Let your thoughts be heard

study recently released by CarInsuranceComparison.com. Well, were almost the worst we rank 45th on this
list of the nations worst drivers.
If were not the worst, wed hate to

drivers were collectively ranked as the
worst in the nation.
Even though were not as bad as
some of our American brethren, its

worth repeating: Slow down out there!

Nothing can be of such importance
that you need to speed and drive erratically ... every time you drive! Its just
not possible that your wife is giving
birth for the fifth time this week.
Our children are walking our
streets. Our elderly are still behind the
wheel. Our ready, willing and able are
out on the roads, trying to get shopping
done. And its going to be extra crowded like this for a few more weeks.
Lets make sure everyone gets where
theyre going safely. Lets all share the

being such maniacs even if were not
the most maniacal in the country.

obituary
Enid H. Campbell
Nov. 22, 2015
Enid H. Campbell, Ph.D., died peacefully
in her sleep at the University Medical Center Princeton, on Nov. 22 due to complications from a fall. She was 88.
Campbell was a psychologist with a private practice in Princeton for many years,
and a longtime professor and department
chair at Trenton State College.
Campbell was born and raised in Canada following the emigration of her parents
from England in the 1920s. Her father, John
H. Hobart, was a pharmacist who also
played semi-professional hockey, and her
mother, Enid Jones was a primary school
teacher who studied with Maria Montessori.
Shortly after Campbells birth, the family settled in Montreal where the family
was part of the tight knit English community. The family was active in the Religious
Society of Friends and amateur theater
with an emphasis on Shakespeare.
Campbell left Canada to attend Swarth-

more College in the

United States, where
she studied psychology
and was active in the
Quaker Meeting. She
was briefly married to
a fellow Quaker in support of his pacifist beliefs and resistance to
the draft. Following
her graduation in 1948,
CAMPBELL
she attended Bryn
Mawr and then Yale,
earning a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.
At Yale, Campbell met her future husband, Byron A. Campbell and the two were
married in June of 1954. Her husband became a professor in the Psychology
Department at Princeton University and
Campbell chose to accompany him to
Princeton.
Campbell quickly became a professor at
Trenton State College where she taught
child and general psychology. Her desire to
improve peoples lives led her to become a
licensed psychotherapist and she cared for

numerous patients in downtown Princeton. She worked at these two professions

for most of her adult life.
With family and friends, Campbell travelled widely in Europe and North America,
and visited New Zealand, Mainland China
and Alaska. To keep fit, she enjoyed swimming, recreational tennis, table tennis and
skiing. In her later years, Campbell suffered from dementia but she always enjoyed spending time with her family. She
was a woman ahead of her times, deftly
finding happiness and fulfillment in both
her work and family life.
Campbell is survived by her husband.
She is also survived by her son Ian of New
Mexico along with Adams wife Becky,
and granddaughter Simone her daughter
Andrea Sacchetti of Princeton along
with Andreas husband Raymond, and
grandchildren Thomas Sacchetti, and
Adam Frary. In addition, Campbell is survived by her brother John Hobart and his
wife Joan, and her nieces and nephews.
A celebration of her life took place on
Sunday, Dec. 6, in Princeton.

Helping farms and families

After using food to ease sons illness, 47Farms founder

When Nicky Cardona, now age
5, was plagued by repeated hospital visits, insufferable asthma
and
prescription
overloads
throughout his life, his father
Alex sought a different solution.
At the time, Cardona was building software for an agricultural
company in Africa. His sons illness forced him to look at agricultural practices in the U.S., and
once his family reformed their
diets, Nicky finally found relief.
My son had asthma caused by
severe allergies onset by winter
and was hospitalized four times a
year. The response from doctors
was more medicine, Cardona

said. The minute we removed

frozen foods, processed foods and
ate clean and locally sourced
meals, he got better. Four times a
year became two times a year and
finally zero. He went from taking
daily medication to sporadic medication only when he had a cold.
Simultaneously, Cardona had
begun working on his own business model. After witnessing the
improvement of his sons health,
Cardona began working with
local farmers.
We came up with the idea to

A community, a university
A look into the expanded Princeton University:
The Campus Guide and Neighboring Institutions
with a walk through downtown Princeton
By ERICA CHAYES WIDA
The Sun
On Dec. 15, the book that
guides readers through the architectural history of Princeton University and the neighborhood
around it is going to be released
in an expanded edition. Princeton University: The Campus
Guide and Neighboring Institutions was originally printed 16
years ago. Not only does it
include a collection of the
universitys rich history,
but also highlights some of
Princetons finest places.
The surrounding area
boasts many interesting
establishments deserving of walking tours.
Robert Barnett, who
compiled the book,
added the Princeton
Public Library, the
Institute for Advanced Study, Westminster Choir College and Rider University to his new edition. Through 13
guided walks, the book chronicles
the history of Princetons institutions and the evolution of Princeton Universitys campus since its
inception in 1776.
Each walk includes an introductory essay detailing both historical and contemporary issues
related to the featured destinations, said Stephanie Leke, publicist for Princeton Architectural
Press. With illustrated, aerial
perspective maps helping lead the
way paired with both archival
and modern imagery, Princeton
University is the definitive guide
to the architectural history.
The works 13th and final chapter, entitled Downtown Princeton, opens with a quote by Albert Einstein from Nov. 30, 1933:
Princeton is a wonderful little
spot, a quaint and ceremonious
village.
The chapter, which includes a
numbered map easily steered by
any Princeton tourist, delves into
the Bainbridge House, Lower
Pyne, Palmer Square, Princeton
Public Library, Paul Robeson

Center for the Arts, Westminster

Choir College of Rider University,
Nassau Presbyterian Church,
Palmer House and Mercer Hill
Historic District. Each of these is
paired with a photograph, the
name of the architect(s) and an
informative yet concise historical
synopsis.
Palmer Square, for example,
named after Princeton University
alumnus and zinc fortune heir
Edgar Palmer, was set apart from
the church-centered design
typical of New
England
colonies.
Instead, the
towns design was
dictated by the fact
that it was a stop
along the well-traveled Kings Highway,
the principal northsouth route between
New York City and
Philadelphia. And Nassau Street was the
focus, the book reads.
Whereas Pyne had
dressed the street in English
garb this refers to the Tudor
Revival at 92 Nassau St. Palmer
set out to create a municipal center in the heart of town.
Natalie Shivers, the associate
university architect for planning
at Princeton University, noted
there is no quick way to explain
the way the university has had an
effect on the town and vice versa.
There is a 250-plus year-long
relationship between the town
and campus and many aspects to
how they have grown up together.
One example of the close relationship, Shivers explained, is in
1896, the College of New Jersey
became Princeton University,
honoring the community in
which it resided.
The full story Shivers refers to
is on pages 320-321. It reads:
In spite of occasional misunderstandings and even battles, the
town and university have prospered and continued to draw
strength from one another. The
shared name underscores that
shared evolution.

trails within these spaces are

being maintained to varying degrees by nonprofit organizations
and volunteer groups including
FPOS, D&R Greenway Land
Trust, Princeton-Pettoranello Sister City Foundation and the
Friends of Herrontown Woods, to
name a few.
On the other hand, only a few
areas such as Mountain Lakes

Preserve and John Witherspoon

Woods have been formally adopted via Princetons Adopt-A-Park
Program.
The community adopted a revised form of the Adopt-A-Park
agreement, and one of our recommendations is that the new form
be approved by council and entered into with respect to other
parks and groups that are willing
to make a formal commitment to
those parks, Mager told council
at the meeting on Monday, Nov.
23. One of the advantages of
such an agreement is that it clari-

Wishing You all the Best this Holiday Season

fies what responsibilities are

being taken, what actions require
approval and how one goes about
getting that approval.
Mager noted another issue is a
number of the open space areas
do not have trails and do not have
a volunteer group maintaining
them.
Were not suggesting that
every passive open space must
have trails, but some of these
seem to be good candidates,
Mager said. For example, Woodfield Reservation, which is a large
park at 107 acres, has a pretty extensive trail system. Although
FPOS does some work there, we
cant keep up with it all.
Princetons Open Space Task
Force further recommended that
council plan for and fund an
equivalent level position to the director of recreation who would
oversee and manage the towns
passive open spaces. Both the
recreation director and the arborist/open space manager do
not have the time to take on these
duties full-time.
Princeton Administrator Marc
Dashield, who sat down with municipal staff to look over the recommendations from Princetons
Open Space Task Force, believes
there is a capacity both within
Public Works and the Recreation
Department to do more for passive open space.
The right avenue to approach
this is to hire a consultant to do a
plan that would provide us a
background of how we can attack
the open space maintenance activities and use that as a guide,
Dashield said. In addition, there
are some capital expenditures in
the 2016 budget, which would be
the place to do some of the suggestions provided in the report
from Princetons Open Space
Task Force.
Dashield plans to return shortly to council with the consultant
proposal.
I think weve come a long way
and that Marcs proposal would
be helpful, said Councilwoman
Jo Butler, the liaison to Princetons Open Space Task Force.

from construction.
We think the planning board
failed to realize that, Afran said.
This land is something that is almost sacred, and its going to be
turned into toilets and garages?
In October, Judge Mary C. Jacobson denied the Battlefield Societys attempt to block the IAS
from building.
On Nov. 13, following the ruling, the institute released a statement saying, The Institute for
Advanced Study is very pleased
with the recent decisions by the
appellate division and the
Supreme Court of New Jersey to
deny the requested stay on the
faculty housing project, and we
look forward to moving ahead.
Afran, however, is not done
fighting.
We are appealing the case and
are now preparing our appellate
briefs, Afran said. The institute
has not done anything yet, and we
hope the matter can be resolved
over the next few months. We
hope they will keep the site as is
until we can appeal it.
The institutes Director of
Communications Christine Fer-

rara said, however, that it may not

be long.
The institute is finalizing
preparations for construction of
the faculty housing project, now
that the stay has been lifted and
all necessary permits are in hand
for us to proceed, she said.
Afran and Cherry said some
progress has been made on their
end involving a third-party, although neither are able to discuss
the details at this time.
Stay tuned, Cherry said.
The institute had no further
comments on the situation.
Afran is optimistic the institution will realize the importance of
this land, which is probably the
last privately held, untouched
piece of the Revolution.
The institute is an educational institution that stands for preserving knowledge, Afran said,
and yet they want to destroy a
piece of American history to provide temporary housing for faculty eight townhouses and seven
single-family homes. In a sense,
theyre destroying their very mission.
The PBS set up the Preservation Defense Fund to support the
acquisition of Maxwell Field.
We cannot succeed alone
without the support of the great

Addressing heroin use

in departments strategic plan
ADDRESSING
Continued from page 1
We take the sale of narcotics,
especially by schools, seriously
and are extremely proactive in
these situations, Sutter said.
According to the Princeton Police Departments reports, the
number of arrests for possession
of a controlled dangerous substance has nearly doubled since
last year.
Sutter shared the back story
as to why he thinks so many possession charges occurred without
a significant rise in distribution
charges:
Youre dealing with the
amounts when it comes to intent
to distribute, which boils down to
how much you have and how its
packaged. Lets say you had 30

grams of marijuana in a wooden

box in your car obviously personal use as opposed to 30 grams
packaged up in 30 separate bags. I
would assume a lot of the possession charges were dealers who
had it packaged in a way that
made it hard to prove it was for
distribution.
Addressing heroin use, addiction and overdoses is included in
the police departments recently
developed strategic plan.
This came up a lot in the focus
groups that worked to create the
plan, Sutter said.
The focus groups consisted of
Princeton residents, police officers, business owners, clergy,
council members, administrators, members of the municipality, Corner House, local civic
groups, community outreach
groups, leaders from the Princeton schools, as well as individuals

from the medical community and

Princeton University. Sutter explained how the groups identified
and assessed various themes and
concerns. Of these, the dangers of
drug-related issues stood out.
Youre not going to arrest
your way out of that problem,
Sutter said, adding that every one
of his officers is equipped with
Narcan in his or her car. Narcan
or Naloxone, according to the National Library of Medicine, is a
prescription drug that helps partially or completely reverse the effects of certain types of medicines. It is often used to aid in an
opiate overdose.
The other branch of this is
prevention,
Sutter
said.
Through education and general
collaboration with our community and health-care providers, we
will address strategies and solutions for people at risk.

From our Lewis School Family to yours,

we wish you a joyous holiday season
filled with peace, hope and happiness!
Our Tree of Light shines as it has for more than
forty years, a symbol of hope for all students who
learn differently and for those who remain without educational opportunity for a brighter future.
Our wish is that they may find the path to success
that realizes their great promise and their dreams.

vested that week and consumers

to view it, he said.
This business model, which
runs from an incubator startup
office called Tiger Labs on Nassau Street, is called 47Farms. Still
in its initial stages, 47Farms was
selected to compete in the Second
Annual International Food System Innovation Competition.
Hosted in Austin, Texas, 24 entrepreneurs from around the world
will introduce their ideas to feed
cities in the U.S., Israel, Uganda
and many more. The winner of
the food startup competition will

be awarded up to $50,000.
One of 47Farms most promising assets in the competition is its
ability to reduce the distance food
travels between farms and consumers. Cardona explained how
it works:
Anyone can subscribe to the
site free of charge, type in where
they live, and a list of farms within, say a 10-mile radius, will come
up.
You can then view what each
farm has harvested that week and
can communicate directly with
the farmer, pick up your food
or have it delivered to your
home.
47Farms, which went live online in September, runs by charging the farms a commission to be
listed and to deliver their goods

should they need assistance. Cardona hopes to make back his investment so the site can remain
free for all individuals who use it
for a healthier lifestyle.
We want to keep it free for our
subscribers, Cardona said. We
are also members of the Northeast Organic Farmers Association and are active contributors
to their causes.
Cardona is looking forward to
traveling to Austin in February
for the competition. In the meantime, his startup will be assigned
a mentor to help mold ideas to
present to the panel.
I hope to win, Cardona said.
Regardless, I hope to increase
my network through the experience and am grateful to help
farmers and families.

Entire experience special, Lawrason says

ENTIRE
Continued from page 2
We didnt lose the match so
much as the other team just beat
us, he said. They had a better
roster out on the court, but it was
competitive. We didnt beat ourselves.

There were individual success

stories among the teams success.
Bertino and Purnell played doubles together throughout the season and were unstoppable. The
pairing went a perfect 14-0 in
tournament matches, including a
perfect 5-0 at nationals. They
earned the teams lone win
against Dallas.
Marc and I took our tennis to
a whole new level, Purnell said.

We scripted tennis plays and we

executed these plays from start to
finish. It worked for us.
Lawrason said the entire experience, from the matches to the
activities off the court, was special. He was especially pleased
with the good sportsmanship and
camaraderie the teams shared
with one another.
Everybody exhibited really
good sportsmanship and were respectful of
everyone else,
Lawrason said.
USTA League rules dont allow
teams who advance to nationals
to compete together again in subsequent seasons, so Washington
Crossings team will have a different look next year.
However, all team members say
they will continue to play tennis
and dream of making a return
trip to Indian Wells in the future.
Im looking forward to doing
it again next year, Purnell said.
Hopefully, you can catch lightning in a bottle and get back there
again, Lawrason said.
