Think back to when you were10. What was life like for you?

Surely, you liked playing out-side. Maybe you played baseball if

you were a boy – with dolls if youwere a girl.

But for one 10-year-oldLawrenceville girl, life is muchmore than playing and doing thethings the average 10-year-olddoes. Instead, she’s all aboutbeing of service to others, espe-cially those in need.

Meet Skylar Seabert. She’s anextremely outgoing girl, a fourth-grader at the Princeton JuniorSchool.

Sure, she likes to do a lot of thethings her peers do, but at such ayoung age, she’s known for hervolunteer work as an ambassadorfor the Special Olympics of NewJersey and for her involvement in

the American Girl Fashion Show.“I’ve always been involved in

community service – I’ve donework for the Red Cross, but it did-n’t matter to me where Skylar gotinvolved,” said MarianneSeabert, Skylar’s mom. “She kepttelling me she wanted to be in-

volved with the American GirlShow, and it was a bit worrisomeat first. She was 6, 7 at the time.But she kept saying, ‘yes, yes,’and it was just in her essence towant to help.”

And help she absolutely did.

To participate in the AmericanGirl Fashion Show, participantsmust also serve as an ambassadorto the Special Olympics.

For Skylar, that was the funpart.

Over a four-year period, she’sraised more than $7,000 for Spe-cial Olympics, through variousfund raisers and events at school.

In fact, as a member of herschool’s student council, hermom said she was able to con-vince her fellow council membersto take on Special Olympics as aschoolwide fund raiser.

“She loves speaking on behalf of Special Olympics,” Mariannesaid. “She even spoke at a school

assembly and everyone rallied be-hind her.”

So just why does Skylar dowhat she does? It’s simple, shesaid.

“I enjoy raising money for kids

This was a test drive that really,really went badly.

But not until sometime after itwas all over.

A Lawrence Township Porschedealer is out of a $148,000 Panam-era, and it is believed to have been

stolen sometime between 4 p.m.on Sept. 26 and 8 a.m. Sept. 27, Lt.Charles Edgar of the LawrenceTownship Police Departmentsaid.

And the dealer’s owner be-lieves it was two men who test-drove the car a day earlier who

took it, according to Edgar.Edgar said the two men – one

described as age 20 to 25, between5-feet, 9 to 10-inches tall, withdark hair and a ponytail, and an-other described as age 20 to 25, 5-feet, 6- to 8-inches tall, with short,dark hair and numerous tattoos – came to the dealership sometimebefore 4 p.m. Sept. 26.

The two men, along with asalesman, went out for a test driveof the Panamera, according toEdgar. It was the salesman, how-ever, who drove the car, accordingto Edgar. The two men who wenton the test drive were not re-quired to submit identification –

such as a driver’s licenthe ride, Edgar said.

In most cases, even isn’t getting behind during a test drive, soidentification would bat most dealerships, aEdgar.

free training. I’ve always beeninto community service and help-ing other people and helping withother kids.”

Skylar says she enjoys the timeshe gets to spend with the SpecialOlympians in the summer, aswell.

“I go to the first day of eventseach year,” Skylar said. “It’s greatto see everyone and to meet thekids who are going to compete.

One of the things we do is theOlympians throw balls around,and we (the ambassadors) go afterthe balls and bring them back tothem. It’s great.”

And she loves providing moralsupport, as well.

“I love to cheer the kids on,”she said.

The American Girl Fashion ShowThe American Girl Fashion

Show offers the participatinggirls a chance to experience whatlife on the catwalk is all about.But it’s more than just that – whatthe girls wear and the dolls they“work” with all represent a peri-od of time in American history.So, said Marianne, Skylar andother participants get a historylesson in addition to raisingmuch-needed money for the Spe-cial Olympics.

“There’s a lot of historical

told police he and the two menhad a chat – and then they left thedealership.

The following morning, dealer-

ship officials noticed the car wasmissing.

Edgar said the dealership be-

lieves the two men who took thetest drive a day earlier likelyswapped the car’s actual key witha fake one, thus giving them ac-cess to the Panamera sometimeafter the dealership closed.

The car would not have had alicense plate on it when it wastaken, according to Edgar, but it

is possible a fictitious plate is nowon the car.

“Every car in the state would

have either a license plate or atemporary tag on it,” Edgar said.“If a car didn’t have either one of those, a police officer who noticedthis would get behind it and pullthe car over.”

That hasn’t yet happened, lead-ing to speculation that a falseplate is now on the car.

A second rabid animal hasbeen identified in LawrenceTownship.

The Lawrence TownshipHealth Department was recentlynotified of a raccoon on SurreyDrive that appeared ill and un-afraid of humans or animals. Itwas taken to the Mercer County

Wildlife Center where it died.Because of the close proximity

of other locations in which rabidanimals were found, it was testedby the state Health Department

Laboratory and determined to bepositive for rabies.

It is important for publichealth reasons to determine if anyone was in contact with thisraccoon.

Rabid animals are usually bothvicious and aggressive or actdazed and are partially or totally

paralyzed. They often have trou-ble walking and may appear to be“drunk.”

People should stay away fromall wild and stray domestic ani-mals, which are aggressive or ap-pear to be sick. Some wild ani-mals, such as raccoons, skunksand groundhogs, may be able to

T

he Nov. 8 elections are right

around the corner. That means

increased pulse rates, profuse

sweating and normally rational people

occasionally acting a bit unusual.

Emotions always run high during

elections – especially if they include

hotly-contested local races. This year,

since the entire Legislature is on the

ballot, everyone has a reason to show

up at the polls, even if your town has

no local races.

Here at The Sun, we have a few

things planned:

First, if your town has a local con-

test, all of the candidates have been in-vited to participate in our Meet the

Candidates series. This series will pro-

file the candidates, give them a few

questions to answer and, finally, give

them a chance to make a final pitch to

voters. We ask candidates to avoid at-

tacks on their opponents and focus on

what they would do if elected.

For the most part, this series will ap-

pear online. This way, candidates have

all the space they need to respond to

questions, and readers can interact

with each other and, perhaps, the can-

didates, in discussing the issues.

Our election letters policy appears

elsewhere on this page. As you will

see, we have implemented special

rules to try to keep things as produc-

tive, fair and civil as possible. We en-

courage you to read the policy and

contact your local editor if you have

any questions.

Some of these changes are new this

year. After each election, we review

our coverage and policies and talk to

candidates and readers. Then we try to

improve the process for the next elec-

tion.

As always, we welcome your feed-

back and ideas, and we encourageeveryone to get involved in this year’s

elections.

The annual solemn novena in honor of St. Jude will take place Oct. 20 to Oct. 28 atSt. Michael Church, 1106 Brunswick Ave.,Trenton. The Rev. Kevin Kimtis and theRev. Vincent Gartland will be this year’spreachers.

This year’s theme will be the Litany of St. Jude. Services will take place weekdaysat 8 a.m. (following Mass), 9:15 a.m., 4 p.m.,5:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. Benediction of theBlessed Sacrament will be a part of the 7p.m. service.

On Saturday, services will take place at 8a.m., 9:15 a.m. and during the SaturdayVigil Mass at 6 p.m.

On Sunday, the novena will be a part of the 9 a.m. Mass only.

The Saint Jude Novena provides a spe-

cial time of grace and blessing for people.This long-time tradition gives an opportu-nity each year for people to change pace abit and place their cares and concerns be-fore the Lord through the intercession of St. Jude.

The novena started at Saint Michael’sChurch by the Rev. Ladislas Rakvica onOct. 20, 1939, in thanksgiving for his ownrecovery from a near-fatal illness. Sincethen, extraordinary graces and spiritualand material favors are constantly received

by the clients of St. Jude and many lettersof thanksgiving are received each year.

Elections letter policy

To be fair to candidates and voters in theupcoming Nov. 8 election, here’s how let-ters to the editor regarding the election willbe handled for the next few weeks.

The Sun will publish letters regarding theelection in print editions through Oct. 26.After that, election letters will be publishedonline only.

We’re doing this to prevent last-minute

attacks and accusations that leave no timefor responses or rebuttals in print. Theonline format allows for ongoing commen-tary and debate.

We recognize this isn’t a perfect system.

For example, responses to letters in theOct. 26 print edition will appear online only,not in print. But, we think this is a reason-able policy that allows the community todebate important issues, while keepingthings as fair as possible for everyone.

Please keep in mind that the usual rulesapply to election letters: Anonymous letterswill not be published, all letters are subjectto editing, avoid letters that are in poortaste or libelous, etc.

Also keep in mind that, to be considered fora print edition, we should have your letterin hand no later than the Thursday prior topublication. For example, if you want yourletter to appear in the Oct. 26 edition, weshould receive it no later than Oct. 20. We

anticipate a large number of letters thiscampaign season, so don’t delay. We willattempt to publish as many letters as possi-ble.

If we receive more election letters than wecan publish due to limited space in ourpapers, the letters we publish will reflectthe ratio of letters received. For example, ifwe receive 30 letters supporting CandidateA, and 10 letters supporting Candidate B,we will publish three letters for CandidateA and one for Candidate B.

Please contact your local editor throughthe email address in this paper with anyquestions.

NAMI Mercer launched thisyear’s Mental Illness AwarenessWeek (MIAW) with its third annu-al “Harvest of Hope” wellnessconference on Oct. 1. More than150 mental health consumers andtheir families attended the eventat the Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceville, where they fo-cused on the theme of “Pathways

to Wellness.”MIAW, established by Congress

in 1990, takes place during thefirst week of October. The obser-vance provides an opportunity tolearn more about serious mentalillnesses such as major depres-sion, bipolar disorder and schizo-phrenia.

The conference’s keynote ad-dress, “Unwrapping the Gifts of Recovery,” was delivered by CarolKivler, a member of the NAMIMercer Board. Kivler is presidentof Kivler Communications, a cor-porate-training and executive-coaching firm. Its Courageous Re-covery Division reaches out tohealth care professionals, con-

sumers and family members witha message of hope.Following the plenary session,there were 14 workshops on well-ness themes. The event closed

with a joyful, inspiringHealthRhythms drumming circle,led by Mauri Tyler, a recreationtherapist who is the program di-rector for Princeton Senior Re-source Center.

“Many people in our communi-ty are directly affected by mentalillness,” said Sally Osmer, execu-tive director of NAMI Mercer.

Mental illnesses are medicalillnesses. One in four adults expe-riences a mental health problemin any given year; one in 17 suf-fers from a serious, chronic ill-ness.

“The good news is that treat-ment does work and recovery ispossible,” Osmer said.

Unfortunately, one-third of di-agnosed adults and less than one-half of children receive treat-ment.

“The U.S. Surgeon General hasreported that stigma is a majorbarrier to people seeking helpwhen they need it,” Osmer said.“That’s why MIAW is so impor-tant. We want people to under-

stand mental illness and join a di-alogue in our community. Themore people know, the better theycan help themselves or help theirloved ones get the help and sup-

port they need.”When mental health care isn’t

available in a community, the re-sults often are lost jobs and ca-reers, broken families, morehomelessness, more welfare andmuch more expensive costs forhospital emergency rooms, nurs-

ing homes, schools, police, andeven courts, jails and prisons.NAMI Mercer provides a week-day helpline as well as supportgroups for mental health con-sumers and their families. NAMIalso offers many educational andoutreach programs. Its advocacy

programs work for polislative changes to imtreatment for people willness. To learn mNAMI Mercer’s progrcation, advocacy, oumutual support, lowww.namimercer.org .
