The Christie administrationrecently issued a record amountof funds to help local municipali-ties keep their communitiesclean. A total of $21.1 million hasbeen distributed among eligiblemunicipalities and an additional$2.6 million to all 21 counties, upfrom the 2015 total of $20.8 mil-lion.

Princeton, based on its numberof homes and miles of municipal-ly-owned roadways, was awarded$70,945.

“The money can be used tohelp beautify communities tokeep the environment clean andhealthy,” said Caryn Shinske,NJDEP press director. “Besidescreating a negative image, littercan create health issues. It canend up in waterways, presenting

issues for fish and the overallhealth of the water body. That im-pacts all of us. When cleaning uplitter, every little bit helps, andwhen people have a clean commu-nity, they take pride in it and howit looks. These are all little stepseach of us can take to improveour environment and make it ap-pealing to everyone.”

The grants require each mu-nicipality to remove litter, clean

up graffiti, create education pro-grams to promote Clean Commu-nities and enforce local anti-litter-ing laws.

The grants also promote resi-dent involvement. Municipalitiessuch as Princeton, which re-ceived more than $25,000, are re-quired to sponsor and publicize atleast two cleanup days as well asan annual countywide educationprogram. These requirementsmust be met by June 30 of nextyear.

“Simple initiatives such as lit-ter control go a long way to mak-ing our communities healthier,stronger and more sustainable,”said Mark Pedersen, assistantcommissioner for site remedia-tion and waste management, in arelease. “This year’s increase inClean Communities grants willallow New Jersey to continue fos-tering environmental steward-

ship at the local level as a meansto a more sustainable future."

The funding for Clean Commu-nities Grants comes from a legis-lated user-fee placed on the manu-factures, wholesalers and distrib-utors that produce litter-generat-ing products. The nonprofit NewJersey Clean Communities moni-tors and reports each communi-

2 THE PRINCETON SUN — MAY 25–31, 2016


“One-hundred hits is like thehigh school equivalent of DerekJeter hitting 3,000 in MajorLeague Baseball. It’s a huge mile-stone,” Coach Dave Roberts saidof the recent feat of PrincetonHigh School senior Hayden Reyesbreaking his school record fornumber of career hits.

Roberts recalls Reyes being one

of the only freshmen to start onvarsity.

“It’s rare,” he said.It was six games into his fresh-

men season when Reyes got calledup to bat. The primary varsityshortstop was pitching and thebackup was hurt. That was whenReyes got his opportunity to showhis potential.

Roberts, who has been Reyes’coach all four years, said howhaving the chance to play on var-sity as a freshman is one thing,but it’s a whole other ballpark tomaintain your position and keepgoing. It only took Roberts about45 seconds to realize Reyes was

the guy they’d bring out to thevarsity team if something hap-pened.

“When I first started, I neverwould have believed I could have

even had the goal of 100 hits. Itonly began to become somethingreal junior year,” Reyes said.

During a typical PHS season,the baseball team plays 22 to 25

games. In his freshman year,Reyes had nearly one hit per game.He had 30 hits his sophomore yearand 34 in his junior year.

“At the beginning of the sea-

son, I knew I was 18 [hits] away.My 87th hit broke the schoolrecord, and then it all became ablur and I kind of lost track,”Reyes said. “Then, at the Ham-West game, I knew I was close – only three away going into it – and I wanted it then but I didn’tget it. My grandpa was on thesideline with a ‘100 hits’ sign. He’sreally into it. He’s supportive.”

After the anticipation hit apeak, Reyes finally hit his 100th at

an away game against West Wind-sor-North. Reyes said it was a mo-ment he’d always remember.

“It was never really a questionof whether he’d get it, just a mat-ter of when,” Roberts said. “I amincredibly proud. It’s just awe-some.”

Reyes, who has been playingbaseball since grade school, isgoing to Montclair State Universi-ty in the fall to keep on playing.

“It’s very exciting,” Reyes said – continuing that it hasn’t quitesunk in yet that his days with histeam of four years will soon becoming to a close. “Baseball is abig part of my life.”

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

On May 17, between the hoursof midnight and 6 a.m., unknownindividuals stole two vehiclesfrom a driveway on the first blockof Elm Lane. Thestolen vehicles were a2015 Mercedes BenzGL 450 and a 2015Dodge Durango. It isbelieved that both ve-hicles were left unlocked with thekey fob inside. The total value of both vehicles is approximately$110,000. This incident is similar

to other vehicle thefts that havetaken place across the state andin Pennsylvania. It appears asthough high-end vehicles are tar-geted during the early morninghours. The suspects look for vehi-

cles that are left unlocked withthe key fob inside the vehicle. Themajority of vehicles stolen arepush button start vehicles. This

case has been turned over to thedetective bureau for further in-vestigation.

May 18

Subsequent to amotor vehicle stop onNassau Street for oper-ating a vehicle withoutheadlights on, two 19-

year-old males were found to be inpossession of drug parapherna-lia. Both were placed under arrestand transported to police head-

quarters where they wereprocessed and released with asummons and a pending courtdate.

Subsequent to a motor vehicle

stop for having a cracked wind-shield and for having unclear li-cense plates, the driver of the ve-hicle, a 45-year-old male from

Georgetown, Del, was arrested forhindering the apprehension of the passenger, a 37-year-old fe-male also from Georgetown. Thepassenger of the vehicle was alsoplaced under arrest for hinderingher own apprehension. Both pro-vided false information to the of-ficers. Subsequent to the arrest,the woman was found to be inpossession of drug parapherna-lia. Further investigation re-vealed that the driver was in pos-session of heroin and drug para-

phernalia. Both were transportedto police headquarters wherethey were processed and releasedwith summonses and pendingcourt dates. The passenger wascharged with hindering appre-

hension and possession of drugparaphernalia. The driver wascharged with hindering the ap-prehension of another, posses-

sion of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia.

May 12Between 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

on May 12, an unknown individ-ual broke the front left and rightwindow of a motor vehicle thatwas parked in the driveway onthe first block of Grover Avenue.

A motor vehicle stop for a ran-dom plate inquiry revealed that a39-year-old Morris Plains male

had and active warrant out of Bloomfield Township MunicipalCourt. He was arrested, trans-ported to police headquarterswhere he was processed and re-leased with a pending court date.

May 11

Subsequent to a pedestrianstop after being observed carry-

ing an alcoholic beverage, a 20-year-old female from Mechanics-burg, Pa., was found to be in pos-session of alcohol as a minor. Shewas transported to headquarterswhere she was processed and re-leased with a summons and fu-ture court date.

Around noon, an unknown maleand female entered a stockroom/of-fice inside a store on the first blockof Hulfish Street and stole $398 incash. The perpetrators were not

identified and the case was turnedover to the detective bureau for afollow up investigation.

Writers: Quality of safewater a concern

Water supply and safety issuesare in the news more and morefrequently. As members of thePrinceton Environmental Com-mission, we are concerned aboutthe quality and quantity of safewater available to the citizens of Princeton.

The Water Supply Manage-ment Act was passed in 1981 to en-sure that New Jersey could copewith all foreseeable water needsand droughts. It requires that aStatewide Water Supply Plan be

released every five years. The lastsuch plan to be released was in1996, and it included data thatgave cause for concern about thestate’s long-term ability to meetthe growing water demand due topopulation growth. We are now 20years overdue for a plan thatwould give us information aboutNew Jersey’s levels of surfaceand groundwater supplies.

The Princeton EnvironmentalCommission passed a resolutioncalling for the release of a newStatewide Water Supply Plan atour April meeting and PrincetonCouncil will be considering a sim-ilar resolution later this month.Citizens can support our effortsby contacting the office of Gov.Christie at www.state.nj.us/gov-ernor/contact/.

The Riverside ElementarySchool library was filled with aclass of fourth graders sittingtightly together on the floor, eyeswide and mouths open. At anymoment, it seemed they might ex-plode with laughter or gasp inhorror. Every corner of their at-tention span clung to shark ex-pert Dean Fessler’s next word.

With the projector screen glow-

ing an underwater image of agreat white, Fessler – also knownas “Sharkman” – said, “…andthen, my buddy grabbed him!”

A harrowing exclamationcame from his audience.

“You see, sharks spend theirlives chasing things so they don’tunderstand when somethingchases it,” Fessler said – pointingto the place above the shark’sopen mouth where his friendknew to grab hold of to place atracker for Fessler and his team

at the Shark Research Institute,based in Princeton. “We can tracka shark swimming in Africa allthe way from Princeton and keepit away from fishermen.”

Fessler, in addition to being aresearcher, expert on great whitesand diver for the Discovery Chan-nel’s “Shark Week,” has devotedmuch of his time to “demystify-ing the attacker ‘Jaws’ mythos” toyoung audiences.

“The entire mission of the In-stitute has shifted from primaryresearch to preservation,” hesaid. “I took it as a personal quest

to address our youth. They’re ourfuture: our future lobbyists, fish-ermen, researchers, politicians. Iam fortunate enough to target mypresentations for a class of kindergartners or Ph.D. stu-dents.”

When not captivating class-rooms with his stories andunique facts about sharks – suchas more deaths happen from co-conuts falling off trees than from

shark attacks – Fessler is ventur-ing around the globe to helpsharks remain an integral partour ecosystem.

Riverside School scienceteacher Mark Eastburn calledFessler’s presentation “absolutelyfabulous” and said, “I think thestudents were, above all else, ableto understand the importance of keeping sharks in the oceans andthe desperate need to conservethem from overfishing and thehorrendous practice of ‘finning.’”


Sharkman, i.e., Dean Fessler, captivates a classroom of RiversideSchool fourth graders with some giant jaws that are much lessharmful than Hollywood.

e’ re all familiar with Me-

morial Day. We know that it

is a day set aside to honor

the brave men and women who made

the ultimate sacrifice to protect our

country and the freedom we have.

And we know that it is celebrated on

the last Monday in May, thereby creat-ing a three-day weekend for most.

Maybe it shouldn’t be that way.

Back when Memorial Day was first

established during the Civil War era, it

was observed on May 30. It had its own

special day, which, many will argue,

kept the focus on the meaning of the

day.

They have a point.

When one thinks of Memorial Day

these days, it’s easy to lose focus.

There are Memorial Day sales at

stores and the “kick-off to summer”sentiment. That people have three

days off often overshadows what the

spirit of Memorial Day is all about.

We don’t want to sound completely

negative. Many communities still take

pride in holding a thoughtful, mean-

ingful Memorial Day ceremony

and/or parade. We still see flags dis-

played. We still see a lot of people taketime to honor those who died serving

our country.

But we also can’t help but think that

lumping Memorial Day into a three-

day weekend has diminished the

meaning of the day – at least some-

what. There are too many distractions.

How many of us have made Memorial

Day weekend plans that have absolute-

ly nothing to do with honoring the

meaning of the day?Memorial Day should be special. It

should be a time when every Ameri-

can reflects on the sacrifices made on

his or her behalf and takes the time to

pay proper respect. Nothing should

distract from those sentiments.

Will the three-day weekend be re-

placed with a move back to May 30?

Doubtful. It’s going to be up to each in-

dividual to cut through the clutter and

honor those who made the ultimate

sacrifice.

in our opinion

Memorial DayThree-day weekend or a return to a traditional day of remembrance?

Holiday weekend distractions

Memorial Day shouldn’t be about salesor heading to the beach. It should beabout honoring those who died servingthis country. How do you reflect onMemorial Day?

The Sun is proud to announce SPJ award winnersBy TIM RONALDSON Executive Editor

In my 11 years with Elauwit Media,never have I been prouder of the workwe’ve done than last week, when we re-ceived word that we had won six awards inthe New Jersey chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists’ annual awards.

The tireless work we put in to betteringourselves as professionals and providingyou with the most local news you can find – at the highest quality – is all worth it whenwe receive praise like we did last week.

Our team consisting of Kristen Dowd,our managing editor, along with our asso-

ciate editors Erica Chayes Wida, BrigitBauma, Zane Clark and Mike Monostra areall to be commended – whether they werenamed as award winners or not – for it isthe teamwork they display that allows us tocover your town as we do.

Erica won first place in the SPJ’s “Wil-son Barto Rookie of the Year” category.

This marks the second year in a row thatone of our employees has received thishonor, after Zane won the title last year.Sean Lajoie, who has moved on to a new po-sition with a different company, won sec-ond place behind Erica for Rookie of theYear.

Mike captured our other first-place title,in the Sports Reporting category for astory on the Moorestown High School girls’lacrosse team.

Mike also took home a second-place fin-ish in the Photojournalism Sports catego-ry for a set of photos he took of the

Shawnee High School girls soccer teamwinning South Jersey Group IV, and athird-place finish in the Feature Reportingcategory for a story on Mt. Laurel’s Eric“Ebo” Eberling, who passed away in 2013at the age of 17 from cancer.

Our final award this year went to Ericaagain. She won second place in the Photo-

journalism Feature category for shots shetook at the Princeton Rec Department’s an-nual Cardboard Canoe Race.

To view the full stories and photos thatwon the awards, please visit our website,www.elauwitmedia.com/news.

Every day, I am proud of the work ouremployees do to help further our missionof providing the best local news to the resi-dents of every town we cover.

But I would be remiss if I didn’t give aheartfelt “thank you” to everyone in thecommunity who helps us reach that goalby being our partners – by answering the

phone when we have questions, by reach-ing out to us when you have a news tip.Without that cooperation and interest inyour “town newspaper,” The Sun wouldn’tbe what it is today! Congratulations againto all our award winners!

ty’s progress.The NJDEP reminds citizens

that litter comes from manysources – from pedestrians, mo-torists and uncovered trucks tohouses with overflowing garbagecans and construction sites. Onenapkin that blows off a café tableunnoticed will gather in a streetcorner with the dropped bottlecap, the wrapper and stubbed cig-arette.

When litter already exists, peo-

ple tend to litter more.With the Clean CommunitiesGrants, there will be cleanup of storm water systems, parks,beaches and other public proper-ties that characterize every com-munity. It’s a way for Princetonresidents and all the residents insurrounding counties to make theGarden State even greener.

Princeton’s Recycling andClean Communities Coordinator

Janet Pellichero is excited aboutthe resources the grant provides.With the grant money recently re-ceived, Princeton already pur-chased a street sweeper and or-

ganized a program for low-riskprisoners to remove litter in re-mote areas difficult for Princetonmunicipality staff to get to. If aresident wants to organize acleanup, the funding allows Pel-lichero to help them do so.

Last year, according to Pel-lichero, the municipality was ableto expand the hours at the Con-venience Center on River Road tohelp residents more easily dis-pose of their materials. This year,

she is working on the annualSHREDtember Fest, the fall festi-val for trash collection in the 400Witherspoon St. parking lot.

“The grant really helps keepmunicipal costs down withoutweighing on the budget,” Pel-lichero said. “The programs weput in place directly benefit ourresidents. It’s all to be able to keepPrinceton clean. It is a really, real-ly, really helpful program.”

‘The idea is to always be makingprogress,’ Weinstein says

feel we’ve outgrown the building.A school like that needs differentspace to accomplish goals.”

The middle school, knownamong faculty, day students andinternational boarding studentsas the Alexander K. Buck ’49Building, was built in 1974. Thenew design imagined by archi-

tects Clarke Caton Hintz will em-body state-of-the-art facilitiescompleted by fall 2017.

“The building has been mod-ernized a bit, but you wouldn’twalk in and say, ‘this building in-spires me.’ You would say, ‘theadults here inspire me.’ Later, thebuilding will create a wow factor.It’s a mid-70s building – a littleavante garde, great colors, greatshapes. It will stand out on thiscampus as a unique space. That

was our intention, and this firm,

they sure got it right. They justnailed it,” Weinstein said exuber-antly.

The building will have a newmodern exterior boasting lots of natural light, large double ther-mo pane windows and LEDlights, which Weinstein foreseescutting energy usage by 50 per-cent. There will be 12 additionalclassrooms, 80-100 percent largerto encourage group collaborationand learning; two STEM labs; a

robotics construction zone, avideo production and media stu-dio; a visual art studio; a commu-nity space for assemblies, per-forming arts, dance, yoga andmartial arts; a student commonarea; a learning center; and an ad-ditional restroom.

The overall middle schoolspace will expand from 11,000square feet limited to the build-ing’s lower floor and basementannex to 19,000 square feet, inhab-iting all three floors.

The renovation plans were so-lidified after the Breen CampusCenter and PA Café opened lastyear in the Wilf Family Global

Commons, which created an op-

portunity to increase the spacededicated to middle school activi-ties.

“The growth all over campusparallels what’s going on here inthe middle school. The idea is toalways be making progress: inchildren’s brains, how they learnbest and function in a world that’salways changing,” Weinsteinsaid. “What is the most importantskill of living in unpredictablechange? Working in teams. Col-

laboration followed quickly byempathy. Both are taught in adeep and meaningful way here.”

Weinstein is excited to fosterthis kind of collaboration in thephysical layout of the school. Onany given day, students may beworking together to eradicate adisease in a third world country,combining geography and sci-ence, or facilitating debate ingroups of twos and fives.

“The space we’ll have will facil-itate all sorts of those projects,”

Weinstein said. “The new build-ing will enhance a sense of com-munity, which has always beenreally strong here.”

Fair brought science to life for students

Eastburn hopes to have Fesslerreturn to Riverside School formore intimate conversations onsharks.

Fessler’s presentation was ahighlight of the many that tookplace May 17 at Riverside School.In its 38th year, Riverside School’sscience fair is, according to par-ent volunteer Melissa Grzymala,“not your average elementaryschool science fair.” Grzymala

has been organizing the eventthat surrounds students with sci-ence for the past six years. Ap-proximately 20 presenters – par-ents, Princeton University profes-

sors and other experts – set upshop throughout the schoolgrounds. Each presenter teachessomething different, from fluidmechanics, molecular biologyand neuroscience to data analy-sis, structural engineering andmedicine. Some of the activitiesincluded giant bubbles, rocketlaunching, eye tracking, animalskulls and cryogenics.

The fair brought science to life – out of the classroom format and

into something inventive and ex-citing.

“There’s no question about thefascination,” Fessler said of thestudents to whom he speaks.

“Their eyes light up. I can’t tellyou how many teachers have saidthey never see their class so en-gaged. Most kids seem to get it …The fear element [of sharks] isbeing purged, and I’d like to thinkI have a small part of that.”

The Shark Research Institute isa nonprofit that accepts tax-de-ductible donations from the pub-lic. To learn how to help, visitwww.sharks.org/support/mem-bership.
