Princeton High School’sOdyssey of the Mind club wasstarted two years ago by now-sen-ior Padma Gehlot, 17.

In only those two short years,the PHS team has achieved imme-diate, unparalleled success, withfour teams advancing to the statelevel this year and one team qual-ifying for World Finals – whichwill take place in Michigan laterthis month.

“OM is quite a complicatedclub, but it is basically a creativi-ty competition where teams workto complete long-term problems,”sophomore club member EliotWailoo said.

Teams have two types of prob-lems to solve for competition – spontaneous and long-term.

Late last month, PrincetonCouncil adopted an ordinanceraising the minimum age to pur-chase tobacco and other smokingproducts from 19 to 21.

Princeton is now the seventhtown in the state to have imple-mented this regulation but thefirst in Mercer County. Bogota,Englewood, Garfield, HighlandPark, Sayreville and Teaneck arethe other six towns.

Prior to this order taking ef-fect, Princeton had enacted a ban

on outdoor smoking on munici-pal property, including municipalbuildings, parks, pools and town-owned recreation areas.

“The Princeton Board of Health has been pretty progres-sive in terms of tobacco control,”Princeton’s Health Officer JeffreyGroffer said. “With the recentemergence of e-cigs now also onthe market, the concern is our

youth. By making unhealthychoices less accessible, we arehoping to avoid preventable dis-eases in these early stages.”

But, the question still remains – will Princeton’s new ordinancedeter smoking?

Doug Blanke, director of thePublic Health Law Center, is rea-sonably confident the decree willhave an impact.

“This is a real emerging trend,and Princeton is certainlyaligned with what is happening,”Blanke said. “The adult smokingrate is estimated to drop by 12 per-cent, approximately saving one-

quarter of 1 million lives whohave been smoking since the yearof 2012.”

The Public Health Law Centeris a national nonprofit law andpolicy organization that helpshealth leaders, officials and advo-cates use the law to advance pub-lic health. The center is located atWilliam Mitchell College of Law

Seventeen Riverside pre-Kwriters and artists have burstonto the young authors' scenewith the release of their debutpublication, “Hello Winter.”

The book, illustrated and writ-ten in its entirety by the studentsof Dawn DeVeaux's preschool in-clusion class, represents a culmi-nation of DeVeaux’s yearlongteachings in both basic literacy

and storytelling.“At the beginning of the year,

we started with how words areput together in meaningful ways,and how children learn and iden-tify letters and sounds in theirnames,” DeVeaux said of herteaching method.

DeVeaux guided her studentsin hands-on lessons in phonics,punctuation and spacing with thesupport of her two instructionalaides, Michelle Alloway and JoanLevin, throughout the course of the year.

As the students continued toprogress, the three dedicatedteachers harnessed those skills to

teach the young learners more of the art and power behind story-telling.

For the students, the “Hello

Winter” project proved to be bothpersonal and collaborative in theend.

After the students completed

their winter lessons, they had theopportunity to share their indi-vidual experiences and, specifi-cally, what made the season spe-

cial for them.Putting the book together then

gave the students a chance to lendsupport to one another during thecreative process.

“My favorite part about work-ing on ‘Hello Winter’ was that myfriends made beautiful work,”shared Simone Henriques, age 5.

The excitement of the comple-tion of “Hello Winter” was fur-ther demonstrated during theschool’s recent publishing partyslideshow. The young authors

sent animated shout-outs to eachindividual artist as their work ap-peared before them on the bigscreen.

Every student’s family will bereceiving a print copy of the book.

“My favorite part of complet-ing the ‘Hello Winter’ project wasthat I read it to my mom anddad,” said Kaishi Mano, age 5.

Of course, like any other mod-ern publication in today’s market,there is also going to be a compan-ioned e-book. With the help of Al-loway, the e-book also promisesrecordings of the young authorsreading from their very ownwork.

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

On April 30, two victims re-ported that theirmen’s’ lockers werebroken into at the NewYork Sports Club andcash totaling $1,565was stolen.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s“Sherlock Holmes” stories havecaptured and held the imagina-tion of readers across the globesince their first publication backin 1887.

Modern movies and televisionseries have continued to reinforcethe perpetual popularity of theHolmes stories, and brought new

fans into existing groups thatstudy the lore of the world’s firstconsulting detective.

There are more than 200 soci-

eties and groups in the UnitedStates alone devoted to the discus-sion and study of these stories,and more than 100 other societiesin foreign countries.

Now “The Napoleons of Crime,” a new discussion groupthat has been formed in Prince-ton, promises to bring a fresh andunique focus to the study of theworld of Holmes.

While there are already severalother groups in the state that

study Doyle’s stories and specifi-cally the Sherlock character, “TheNapoleons of Crime” will focustheir efforts not on Sherlock, but

on master criminal and Holmes’nemesis, Professor James Mori-arty – the man Holmes dubbed“The Napoleon of Crime.”

“To date, Moriarty has notbeen studied extensively, and Ithink that this makes our groupone of a kind. I believe that weare not re-plowing the sameground that is being covered else-where,” said attorney Peter H. Ja-coby, co-founder of the discussiongroup.

Jacoby, along with his cohort,Daniel P. Greenfield, collaborated

NIOT thankful for StandAgainst Racism support

An event that began eight years ago inPrinceton and Trenton – demonstrationsfor Stand Against Racism day – grew expo-nentially and is now the signature cam-paign for the national YWCA. Not in OurTown wishes to thank all those who con-tributed to the success of Stand AgainstRacism days, past and present. We remem-

ber Nassau Inn employees helping make ahuman chain around Palmer Square, mer-chant participation directed by KathleenMaguire Morolda and well-attended ralliesat Hinds Plaza –all these programs benefit-ed from the YWCA's leadership.

For this year's observance, NIOT pho-tographed 100 merchants who were amongthose pledging to "stand against racism" bydisplaying posters in their stores. And thisyear the Princeton YWCA, implementingits motto "eliminating racism," held an 80-person legislative breakfast, cosponsoredby Lori Rabon of the Nassau Inn.

After presentations by the CEOs of theYWCAs of Trenton and Princeton, themayors of Trenton and Princeton, andNIOT’s Co-Chairs, Linda Oppenheim and

Larry Spruill, Patricia Fernandez-Kelly,chair of the Latin American Legal DefenseFund, challenged all, saying that opposi-tion to racism is merely good manners.Then everyone clustered in small groups,and NIOT facilitators led discussions of

down-to-earth concerns about bias. Thisprogram truly fulfilled the Y's intention:"to build community among those whowork for racial justice and to raise aware-ness about the negative impact of institu-tional and structural racism.”

letter to the editor

The economy is brighter across

the nation, but somehow, here

in New Jersey, things are actu-

ally going in the opposite direction.

The Garden State had the sixth

highest unemployment rate in the na-

tion in March. The state’s unemploy-

ment rate of 6.5 is a full point abovethe nation’s 5.5 mark.

Since October, the economy has con-

tinued to improve in every state except

for seven, with New Jersey among that

poor performing group. Our state’s un-

employment rate has actually in-

creased since then!

Last week’s stats released by the U.S.

Bureau of Labor Statistics served as

more bad economic news for our state.

First, of course, came the announce-

ment from Moody’s Investors Service

that the company had downgraded

New Jersey’s credit rating yet again,

for the ninth time during Gov.

Christie’s time in office, from A1 to A2

this time, citing a “lack of improve-ment in the state’s weak financial posi-

tion” and recent pension-funding

shortfalls.

Christie is headed to court over the

pension fiasco, in which he proposes

to contribute $1.3 billion to pension

funds, less than half of what he prom-

ised to do when he signed a pension

overhaul bill in 2011. What comes of

the litigation, and how he or our next

governor fixes the pension system, is

anyone’s guess.

What should be clear to everyone,

though, is that we need a “new deal.”

FDR used a New Deal to get the coun-

try out of the Great Depression; New

Jersey needs a similar one to get it out

of the Great Recession that the rest of

the nation seems to have climbed out

of.

Where do we start? How about with

our roads.

If you drive around, you’ll find plen-

ty of potholes, uneven pavement,cracks and other landmines to navi-

gate. Many small towns have difficulty

repairing it all on their own, and coun-

ty and state governments often control

many of these roads.

So why not spend some money on

fixing the problem? Send some money

to local governments to get on street

repairs and improvements – not just

massive construction efforts on high-

ways.

Fixing our roads would improve the

quality of life for all of us in New Jer-

sey, and it would also create plenty of

new jobs to help jumpstart our econo-

my.

in our opinion

New Jersey needs a ‘new deal’ What we have going on now isn’t working for our economy

Your thoughts

How can New Jersey get out of theeconomic funk it is in? Share yourthoughts on this, and other topics,through a letter to the editor.

Jake Herway grew up ridingthe roads of Europe.

Day in and day out, he wouldenjoy the continent’s all-encom-passing views, awe-inspiring ar-chitecture and take in a bounty of its fresh, open air all by bicycle.

Born in the North AtlanticTreaty Organization’s headquar-

ters – located in Brussels, Bel-gium – Herway was raised amidsta community brimming with con-stant diversity, constant cyclingand farm fresh European eating.

But, when Herway moved toPrinceton to broaden his leader-ship and management consultingcareer, he never expected to findthose very same elements thatmade his European upbringingso rewarding here in New Jersey.

Founder of NJ Bike Tours,Herway started his company in

hopes of sharing what he calls,“le joie de vivre” of Princeton – its culture, history, diversity, land-scape, food and surroundingfarmland.

“Every time I ride with newfriends, new ideas, new places,new foods – all of which I findwhen I cycle the roads of Prince-ton and its surrounding areas – Iam reliving the joys of my up-bringing in Brussels,” he saidwith enthusiasm.

Of course, nothing else wouldmake sense, but to team up withPrinceton Tour Company OwnerMimi Omiecinski.

Herway is one of six newPrinceton tour guides to recentlygraduate from the company’s“Class of 2015.”

Herway noted of the collabora-tion: “Mimi tours the town of Princeton and uncovers the funhistory and anecdotes. My biketours complement perfectly, asmy groups explore Princeton and

beyond, enjoying farm-to-table,winery, photography and thequiet country roads that alwayslead to new discoveries.”

But, as Omiecinski learnedmore about Herway’s career in

advising high-level executives,

she finally asked him to sit downwith American RevolutionaryWar Historian and PrincetonTour Company guide Kim Gal-lagher.

Gallagher, who has been study-ing local town history for the lasteight years, has also been in-volved with the Princeton Battle-field Society, as well as other his-torical groups throughout thestate. For a number of years, hehas led tours at the Battlefield

Park.“As Kim started to tell me thestory behind the Princeton Battle-field, I couldn’t help but ask ques-tions related to the complex lead-ership and collaboration requiredto win the 1777 Battle of Prince-ton – the marketing, finance,human resources, technology, in-formation and vision,” Herwayexplained.

From there, Herway and Gal-lagher developed the PrincetonLeadership Experience. This

unique tour takes groups of exec-utives to pivotal locations inPrinceton Battlefield and deeperillustrates how Gen. George

in St. Paul, Minn.Blanke went on to explain the

context behind this new tobaccophenomenon – the study was un-dertaken by the Academy of Sci-ences’ Institute of Medicine,which was initially brought to theorganization by the Food andDrug Administration.

“Researchers had to investi-gate the question, ‘will this work

if people do decide to raise theage?’” Blanke said.

According to RJ Reynolds Pub-lic Document Repository, if a manhas never smoked by the age of 18, the odds are three-to-one henever will. By age 24, the odds are20-to-one.

“So if you can get folksthrough those vulnerable years,you are likely to save them a life-time of addiction,” Blanke ex-panded. “People start smoking

when they are young, 90 percentbeginning before the age of 19.And from ages 15-18, tobacco issourced through friends. General-ly, the world of a 15 to 18 year oldis a lot different than that of a 21year old. So, this ordinance helpsto close that gap.

“The tobacco industry sees thisas a real threat. If you know theyhate it, then it must really work.”

While Hawaii is now the firststate as a whole to raise the age to

21, the minimum age to purchasetobacco in New Jersey still re-mains at 19.

But, for Kam Modh, owner of Palmer’s Convenience, located atOne Palmer Square in Princeton,the town’s new ordinance makesno sense.

“If you can obtain a license at18, you are mature enough tomake your own decisions. The or-dinance is a joke,” Modh said.“What is going to stop anyonefrom driving to another township

where the age to purchase tobac-co is still 19? If you drive only fivemiles from my location in Prince-ton, you are already in WestWindsor.”

Modh, who has owned and op-erated Palmer Convenience for 12years, said the ordinance willeventually affect his business. Heestimated a minimum of 25 per-cent to 30 percent impact. But,Modh has yet to see any clear re-sults one way or the other.

Modh feels that to make a realimpact on helping to deter smok-ing, a federal law should be putinto effect.

Princeton Folk Music Society

presents County Kerry-bornsinger-songwriter Mary Court-ney as the final concert this sea-son on Friday, May 15.

Courtney is recognized as themost striking interpreter of songs on the Irish-Americanscene. Her voice has a beauty,depth and clarity of tone that fewcan equal. Her music is a collabo-ration of traditional Irish musicand music with a progressive so-cial conscience. Accompanyingherself on guitar and bodhrán,

she creates an intimate experi-ence that both moves and galva-nizes the audience.

In performance, Courtneysings traditional and contempo-rary songs about the home left be-hind and songs about progressivesocial causes. Her powerful vo-cals are direct, allowing the beau-ty of the melodies and the emo-

tion of the lyrics to come

through. She has a distinctivevoice that underscores the sincer-ity or her viewpoint and showcas-es her technical mastery.

Courtney grew up in a musicalfamily in the parish of Castlegre-gory near the sea in CountyKerry, which strongly rooted herin Irish musical traditions. Sincemoving to the States, she has ab-sorbed and incorporated Irish-American traditions.

Whether accompanying her-self, or holding the rhythm line

with her traditional band, Morn-ing Star, she is a consummate mu-sician. Her bodhrán (Irish hand-held drum) playing offers anotherdimension to her exceptional per-formance. Courtney has used hermusic to spread Irish culture andto educate her audience about thestruggles of the Irish people.From rock ‘n’ roll to the etherealstrains of some ancient Celticbard, Courtney can sing any-thing, and sing it unforgettably.

To hear Courtney’s music, visitwww.marycourtneymusic.com.The concert will be held at the

Christ Congregation Church, lo-cated at 50 Walnut Lane. Admis-sion at the door: $20 ($15 mem-bers, $10 students and $5 chil-dren). Doors open at 7:30 p.m.Show starts at 8:15 p.m. Amplefree parking.

If you're looking to build a wig-wam this summer, Johnson Parkkids have the app for you. TiffanyWorden's fourth graders have

been experimenting with creativeways to not only learn the cur-riculum – including lessons onthe Lenape Native Americans – but to explore and pass on whatthey have learned to othersthrough the smart use of technol-ogy.

Inspiration for the project,which is supported by fundingfrom a Princeton EducationFoundation mini-grant, began inJohnson Park's back yard. Thetools developed by Worden's stu-

dents will connect hikers to boththe natural environment and tothe social history of thosespaces – in this case, the originalinhabitants of the area.

The mini-grant provides stu-dents with additional iPod Touch-es which, when coupled with pro-gramming software, allow thechildren to create an original, in-teractive experience for walkerson the trail. The students are de-veloping a variety of games and

videos, including a coloring appof Lenape clothing and a stop-mo-tion piece showing the construc-tion of a Lenape shelter. Fifthgraders in Daniel van Hise's classhave even created a game,"Ecosystem Survivor," featuringvarious omnivores and herbi-vores.

Students have been involved indesigning the apps from start to

finish – creating the content, de-veloping a prototype and imple-menting the final product.

Markers will be set up at keypoints on the trail, alerting hikersto stop and learn more about aparticular historical or environ-

mental topic.In the process, the kids honetheir skills and get to try on manyhats: those of programmer, histo-rian, naturalist, artist. And, natu-rally, wigwam maker.

This is the first in a series of spotlights on classroom projectsat Princeton Public Schools thatare supported through thePrinceton Education Foundation

teacher mini-grant program. The18 mini-grants awarded this yearhelp fund a wide range of innova-tive classroom projects across allschools in the district.

comparable to a brain teaser,which can only be practiced for,since its prompt is revealed atcompetition.

The long-term portion includesa skit, for which teams need tobuild props, design costumes,write and act out, all within agiven budget.

“Teams begin preparing forboth portions of the competitionfrom the start, keeping positiveand encouraging each other if the

going gets tough,” Gehlot said of the club’s preparation tactic.

Since last year, the size of theclub has doubled, and with sever-al returning members, the mem-bers were able to use what theylearned from last season to guidenew and inexperienced membersalong the way.

“Overall, we have become a lotmore organized and have ac-quired a better sense of direc-tion,” Gehlot said.

Gehlot has also been awarded ascholarship for her dedication toOM – she is one of two seniors inthe state to receive the honor.

“Even though I might have pro-vided the initial spark for thestart of the club, it wouldn’t havegrown to what it is now withoutthe dedication of everybody whohad participated thus far,” shesaid. “I am grateful to everyonewho has worked to improve andexpand the club since its birth atPHS. It is due to their trust andwillingness to commit to a brand

new club that helped to lay downits successful foundation. I amconfident that after I graduate,the future leaders of the club will

strive to make PHS OM evenmore incredible than it is rightnow.”

More from The Sun’s interviewwith Gehlot is below:

The Sun: What inspired you tostart the PHS OM club two yearsago?

Gehlot: I was part of the OMteam during my freshman year of high school, while my family was

living in Sayreville. After movingto Princeton for my sophomore

year, I wanted to get involved witha similar type of group, but dis-covered that it did not exist. PHShas so many diverse extracurric-ular activities, with students in-terested in a myriad of activities,but I thought that it would nothurt to try and start another

branch of the club right here inPrinceton.

The Sun: Since OM often fallsunder the radar, what are someaspects to the club that the com-

munity may not already know?Gehlot: OM is all about creativeapplication. The types of prob-lems solved for competitions re-quire thinking outside the box,taken to the highest extent – something that many other pro-grams might not offer. It is verydiverse and welcomes all types of talent, ranging from engineeringto acting to costume design. Weget to work in teams of five toseven people, which draws out in-dividual skill while keeping the

process fun and interactive. Al-though it might not get that muchcoverage, there are OM programsin more than 20 countries.

The Sun: The club has seen a lotof success this year. What are youdoing right?

Gehlot: This success reflectsthe dedication and sincerity of allthe participants, who give it theirall, despite most having no previ-ous experience. Everyone is pre-pared to work hard until the lastmoment, and teams often staylate after school building propsand practicing skits. The parentsof participants have also beenvery supportive this year, and en-couraged us along the way. Mostof all, our coach, Ms. Katz, has

spent so much time and energyensuring that the team is gettingthings done well and on time. Theclub feels like a family, and thereis just so much positivity.

The Sun: Besides OM, what area few of your other interests?Gehlot: OM has certainly been

my priority throughout the pastfew years. However, I have alsoparticipated in the PHS Speechand Debate team, I am a peertutor and part of the Board of Di-rectors at the school’s Ideas Cen-ter. Outside of school, I am ablack belt in taekwondo, andenjoy playing badminton andtable tennis.

The Sun: What are your plans

following graduation? Do you in-tend to continue with OM?

Gehlot: In the fall, I will be at-tending Rutgers University. I cer-tainly wish to continue with OMafter graduating. If possible, Iwould like to compete in college. Iwant to give back to the programin any way that I can. I also planon coming back to volunteer as anofficial on behalf of the PHS club.Getting at least one adult volun-teer per team is a requirement toenter competition, and we havehad some trouble with this in thepast. Hopefully, I can help tochange that.
