2014 Special Olympics USA Games Landscapers
required
to sign fair
wage form
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
The Princeton Council intro-
duced an ordinance last week
that will offer an additional meas-
ure of protection against wage
theft to the men and women who
keep Princeton beautiful.
The ordinance requires land-
scapers seeking permits to do
work in Princeton to sign a form
acknowledging that they are
aware of state and federal laws re-
garding fair wages and overtime
for workers, in addition to work-
ers compensation laws.
Councilwoman Heather
Howard worked on the ordinance
with the Human Services Com-
missions Immigration Issues
Subcommittee.
This is a very important step
in our ongoing efforts to protect
the rights and safety of immi-
grants in the community,
Howard said. This has been a
unique collaboration between
government and community
partners, and I think it can be a
model for other things we do.
Wage theft, which Howard
called a pernicious practice,

Princeton Police recently wel-
comed a new member to the de-
partment, a 16-month-old Czech
Shepherd, K9 Harris. Harris was
provided to Princeton Police
through a grant from the New
Jersey Office of Homeland Secu-
rity and Preparedness. Harris
and his handler, Corp. Matthew
Solovay, graduated from the New
Jersey State Police K9 Academy
Scent Class No. 29. The 14-week
training course instructs the
teams in specialty scent detec-
tion, including explosives detec-
tion.
According to a department
press release, the Princeton Po-
lice Department started its K9
Unit earlier this year, with the
purpose of implementing a new
dynamic tool to assist policing
and public safety effort.
Sgt. Steven Riccitello explained
that Chief Nicholas Sutter had
been hoping to implement a K9
unit for quite some time, partic-
ularly after consolidation when
we had an officer available. He
added that federal grant money
available for a K9 certainly
helped.
Our K9 will be trained to de-
tect explosives and track scents.
This will be extremely valuable to
clear an area for special events in
town, apprehend fleeing crimi-
nals, help locate missing persons,
and track those lost and suffering
from mind-altering illnesses,
Riccitello said.
Solovay and Harris are cur-
rently included in the New Jersey
Detect and Render Safe Task
Force, a state, county and local ef-
fort supported by federal grant
funds and organized
by the state police. The goal of the
task force is to provide a uni-
form and consistent response to
the detection of explosives before
they can be detonated, the re-
lease said.
According to the release, K9
units have become increasingly
common in local law enforcement
agencies because of their un-
matched skills in the field. For
now, Harris is still considered a
rookie until he gains experience.
The chief s focus for now is to
have K9 Harris fully trained and
on the street working, Riccitello
said.
Riccitello added that an addi-
tional benefit to having K9 Harris
and Solovay on the force is the
availability of their services to
other area law enforcement agen-
cies.
Harris was named in honor of
late Patrolman Walter Harris, a
Princeton Borough Police officer
who was shot and killed on duty
on Feb. 2, 1946.
Battlefield housing plan still undetermined
By KATIE MORGAN
and NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
The Princeton Battlefield Soci-
ety will be ready to go to war
when the Institute for Advanced
Studys amended housing plans
go before the Princeton Planning
Board at a to-be-determined date.
The hearing was originally
scheduled for June 19, and PBS
President Jerry Hurwitz sent a
message to supporters asking
them to attend the meeting.
The board will likely be influ-
enced by who attends, Hurwitz
message said. We need to get a
maximum turnout of our sup-
porters. Three years ago, the In-
stitute packed the board meeting
with their supporters. We cannot
afford to allow that to happen
again.
The IAS plans to build faculty
housing on a plot of land it owns
adjacent to the Battlefield. Hur-
witz said the land is the exact
site on which Washington and his
army broke the British line to
win his first victory over British
regulars and successfully con-
clude the campaign that began
with Washingtons crossing of
the Delaware.
The Planning Board unani-
mously approved the original IAS
plan in March 2012, with the con-
dition that the IAS seek the ap-
proval of the Delaware and Rari-
tan Canal Commission. The
DRCC approval was denied in
January, when the regulatory
agency voted 4-3 against the plan,
which would have utilized one-
third of an acre of a 100-foot
buffer that runs along a stream
on the property.
The amended IAS plan reduces
the size of the proposed housing
by adjusting lot lines within the
previously approved boundaries.
The amended plan maintains a
13-acre buffer zone between the
housing and the Battlefield Park,
an easement that will be open to
the public and battlefield visitors.
After the Planning Board meet-
ing, the IAS will resubmit the pro-
posal to the DRCC. If approval is
given, the plans will go before the
Mercer County Planning Board.
If the amended plan is denied,
the PBS hopes to purchase the
land and absorb it into the state
park.
Ultimately, it is our hope that
someday we will have a willing
seller and that the state of New
Jersey will be able to proceed in
purchasing this property and
adding it to the park, Hurwitz
wrote.
Search for towns next
administrator underway
Princeton officials have begun
accepting candidates for the posi-
tion of municipal administrator,
the post that Bob Bruschi will
likely retire from before the end
of the year.
The town has set a timeline
and a procedure by which it will
hire the next administrator. The
administrator is the highest-
ranking and highest-paid munici-
pal employee in Princeton.
Job seekers will express their
interest in the position by July 14,
and semi-finalist candidates for
the position will be chosen on
July 25 and interviewed Sept. 9.
Officials said ideally they would
hire someone by Sept. 27 with a
start date of Oct. 27.
The regional search will in-
clude all of New Jersey and
neighboring states. The town has
hired retired business adminis-
trator Reagan Burkholder to act
as a search consultant. Burkhold-
er will assist the town in filling
the position, which has a salary of
$180,000.
The ordinance that sets the ad-
ministrators salary includes a
residency requirement, but offi-
cials have said they would vote to
waive the requirement for the
right candidate.
Bruschi is not a resident of
Princeton, nor is current deputy
administrator Kathy Monzo, who
is widely seen as the frontrunner
for the position.
BOE, teachers union
reach an impasse
The Princeton Regional School
District teachers contracts ex-
pire on June 30, which is the date
set for the next meeting of the
board and teachers union. After
the last meeting on June 10, the
two sides reached an impasse.
The impasse was formally filed
on June 12. The next step will be
to bring in a mediator, who will be
provided at no charge to the dis-
trict.
The BOE and union have now
met six times, and sentiments
have not drastically changed
since Joanne Ryan, president of
the Education Association and a
Special to The Sun
Princeton Police Departments new K9 Unit members, Corp.
Matthew Solovay and 16-month-old Czech Shepherd K9 Harris,
joined the department after a 14-week training course in specialty
scent detection.

Protect the low-income workers
All workers, not just landscapers, deserve fair pay
6 THE PRINCETON SUN JUNE 25-JULY 1, 2014
A
t the next meeting of the
Princeton Council, the gov-
erning body will likely cast a
unanimous vote to adopt an ordinance
that helps to protect landscaping work-
ers against wage theft.
The ordinance is designed as a layer
of protection for Princetons low-in-
come workers, many of whom are un-
documented residents of the town.
At the June 16 meeting, the ordi-
nance was lauded by councilmembers
and local leaders of community organ-
izations that support these immi-
grants.
Its a great start.
Last October, the Princeton Police
Department adopted protocol that re-
leased officers from their obligation to
turn people wanted for deportation
over to federal authorities.
That seemed like a great start too.
But while Princetons low-income
workers, undocumented residents and
Spanish-speaking community are
thriving under these new protections,
they are thriving not in the midst of
the greater community, but seemingly
outside its inner circle.
By and large, the Hispanic commu-
nity is not represented at Princetons
regular council meetings. Very few of
Princetons Hispanic residents who
constitute 8 percent of the towns pop-
ulation, according to the most recent
census ever approach the micro-
phone during the public comment por-
tion of those meetings.
In 2013, a door-to-door survey con-
ducted by the newly consolidated po-
lice department produced no respons-
es from any Hispanic residents. Then-
Capt. Nick Sutter said at the time a
lack of response spoke volumes in that
area, and talked about the need for
communication between the police de-
partment and the Hispanic communi-
ty.
Princetons governing body and mu-
nicipal administration now appear to
be having the same problem.
Ordinances, resolutions and legisla-
tion that protect Princetons low-in-
come workers and undocumented resi-
dents are all victories, and that work
should expand and continue.
The governing body should look at
every possible ordinance where it
could insert a similar requirement
every contractor, developer, restaura-
teur, entrepreneur and retailer in
Princeton should be required to ac-
knowledge that they understand the
wage laws. They should publicly
pledge to treat their workers with dig-
nity and respect, and that should be re-
flected in each and every paycheck.
But the other problem is a simpler
one, albeit more difficult to solve. Or-
dinances arent bringing the Hispanic
community to 400 Witherspoon St., but
something must. We know how hard
Princetons councilmembers work,
but we urge them to work harder. Do
more outreach, listen, converse, un-
derstand. Find out why this huge
chunk of the community isnt a part of
the body that is shaping it, and then
find a way to make them a part of it.
Thanks to special meetings for ordi-
nance harmonization, the governing
body is well on its way to achieving
total consolidation. But consolidation
means the state of being united.
That means being a place where every-
ones voice is heard.
Princeton is doing a great job pro-
tecting the voices of the Hispanic com-
munity, but it hasnt even begun to
hear them.

INTERIMPUBLISHER
On June 16 at 3:42 p.m. Princeton Police
investigated an unknown male who tele-
phoned a CVS Pharmacy manager, 172
Nassau St., claiming to have three "hydro-
gen bombs" in the area and threatened to
detonate them if he did not receive 10 $500
Green Dot Money Cards.
Patrols responded and spoke on the
phone with the caller. The caller was told
he would not be receiving any Green Dot
Cards and eventually stated, "OK" termi-
nating the call without further incident.
Suspects are unknown.
There have been a number of Green Dot
Money scams reported recently. For fur-
ther information on this and other scams,

WELCOME BACK
PETER!
From all of us at the
has a wide definition, but in-
cludes cases where employers do
not pay their workers sufficient
overtime, pay less than the mini-
mum wage or misclassify hourly
workers as independent contrac-
tors.
According to John Heilner, Im-
migration Issues Subcommittee
chair, wage theft is a serious prob-
lem in Princeton, particularly for
low-income workers.
We all know that low-income
workers, many of whom are im-
migrants, are employed in most
of our service jobs here in Prince-
ton, Heilner said. I would like
to stress that most employers, in-
cluding landscapers, do not en-
gage in wage theft. But a few do
try to cut corners and take advan-
tage of those who are not citizens
or permanent residents.
Heilner said many victims of
wage theft never come forward.
We also know that wage theft
is way underreported, he said.
The folks who are potential vic-
tims of wage theft are in fear of
losing their jobs, or if they hap-
pen to be undocumented they get
threats of being turned in and de-
ported.
While the new ordinance does
not introduce any new laws re-
garding wage theft, it does re-
quire landscapers to acknowledge
that they understand the existing
law, and it provides an opportuni-
ty to educate landscapers and em-
ployers who may not understand
the existing law.
This is the best approach we
could find, Heilner said. It re-
quires the landscapers when they
register to acknowledge that
theyve received info about the
wage and hour laws, and that
they know about workers com-
pensation. The main purpose is to
get this acknowledgment checked
off and send a really clear mes-
sage that we do care about this
here. This will serve as a very
strong reminder that here in
Princeton we take these laws very
seriously.
Elisa Neira, director of the
towns human services depart-
ment, said her office has been in-
volved in several wage theft cases.
Since last year, weve come to-
gether to streamline a process on
how to treat wage theft, Neira
said. Its a system that allows us
to better assist people who come
to our offices asking for help with
something like this.
The Human Services Depart-
ment is located at 1 Monument
Drive in Princeton. It is available
at (609) 688-2055.

Special Olympics athletes, vol-
unteers and spectators spent
hours outside last week at compe-
titions in Mercer County Park,
Skillman Park and Princeton
Universitys Weaver Stadium.
With temperatures reaching
the mid-90s for several days in a
row, hydration was a priority.
Water and ice were available in
abundance, thanks largely in part
to the behind-the-scenes work of
soldiers who coordinated the lo-
gistics of the games.
The 2014 USA Games marked
the third time the national games
have been held. At the two previ-
ous USA Games, 2006 in Ames,
Iowa, and 2010 in Lincoln, Neb.,
the governors called on their re-
spective state militia to support
the games.
Capt. Rich Colton, battalion in-
telligence officer of the 119th
Combat Sustainment Support
Battalion, said the Mercer Coun-
ty games proved challenging to
coordinate.
This is completely unlike the
previous two games, Colton said.
They were single-site, held on
one college campus. Here we have
eight different sites, so take the lo-
gistic obstacles from the 2010
games and multiply it by eight
thats how much work we have
here.
Colton said the soldiers are get-
ting a unique training opportuni-
ty through the work theyre doing
at the Games.
This is our wartime mission,
he said. This battalion is a logis-
tics management company. In
wartime this is what wed do.
Wed work with various civilian
and military agencies to support
sites and venues. Instead of doing
it at forward operating bases in
Iraq and Afghanistan, right now
were doing it in Mercer County.
Colton is an Iraq war veteran,
and he said many of the soldiers
working at the Special Olympics
have completed tours in the Mid-
dle East.
The soldiers reported to work
several days before the athletes
arrived to set up the venues. Dur-
ing the Games, they were respon-
sible for supporting the venues
with ice and water, and facilitat-
ing the movement of athletes
from one location to another.
Ssgt. Tim Gallagher directed
several soldiers at the cycling
competition at Skillman Park on
June 17. He said it was an honor
to be able to support the Special
Olympics community.
Its great to be out here, Gal-
lagher said. We like being able to
help the athletes do what they
do.
Colton said the mission of the
Special Olympics organization
lines up with the core values a
soldier is expected to possess.
One of our core values is re-
spect, Colton said. Respect
across cultures, across religions;
and I think youre seeing that
training and that message pay off
here in the way soldiers interact
with people who have special
needs.
On a personal level, Colton said
he enjoyed spending time with
the athletes, and said the Games
proved a memorable experience.
Theres been an opportunity
to step back and watch the games
and interact with the athletes,
Colton said. Its been emotional-
ly powerful. Im just amazed by
the dignity, class and grace with
which these athletes carry them-
selves. It really has been life-
changing.

Take your time! Kristi Clave
shouts across Princeton Univer-
sitys Weaver Stadium. The 31-
year-old Clave is a throwing
coach of New Jerseys track and
field team and has been volun-
teering at the Special Olympics
since she was in third grade.
Clave has been coaching for the
last eight years.
Some of the athletes have
been participating longer than
Ive been alive, Clave said, al-
though the athletes competing
earlier in the day are Team New
Jerseys teenagers.
Destiny Garrity, a teen athlete
from Claves hometown of West
Milford, has been throwing the
javelin for only a year, and Clave
has been by her side to guide and
support her throughout the new
venture.
Destiny, sweet throw, Clave
shouts while waving to her ath-
lete after Garritys heat.
Clave explained that her team
feels great about their heats be-
cause Special Olympics organiz-
ers have done an impeccable
job of matching similar skill lev-
els.
The races and heats have
been set up in a very fair way;
they have done a great job.
Everyone feels like they are
where they belong, she said.
Everything has been set up very
professionally.
For Clave, additional positive
aspects of this years games were
the new friendships and strong
feelings of support among ath-
letes.
Were obviously here to com-
pete, but meeting the athletes
from all over the country and
seeing them make friendships
with new people at these games
have been really great, she said.
She says that even the more
cutthroat coaches are con-
stantly supporting competing
teams and offering words of sup-
port. She said as a coach, you just
want every athlete to be doing
his or her best.
Earlier, I saw an athlete from
another team sleeping waiting
for their heat, and I tried to say
encouraging things to make sure
they were keeping the energy
up, she said.
Meal times were an opportuni-
ty for Team New Jersey to dis-
cuss experiences and exchange
words of encouragement.
Every time we go to dinner or
lunch, you dont hear anyone
saying Im beating you, its
always good luck Alaska,
good luck Oklahoma! Thats
been the best part for us, being
part of the sportsmanship and
friendships.

Jersey Shore brought
to out-of-state athletes
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
An infectious smile unfolds
across Erika Breneisens face as
she flits a gauzy purple scarf in
figure eights. She is learning the
choreography for a grand finale
dance alongside several dozen fe-
male athletes who have travelled
to the Princeton region to com-
pete in the gymnastics events of
the Special Olympics USA
Games.
As the last strains of a Disney
power ballad play in the field
house of the Peddie School, the
other women turn, arms out-
stretched, to face Erika and her
wheelchair.
Shes a star now, Cindy Bick-
man, a coach and rhythmic gym-
nastics technical delegate, said.
And that, right there, is the
whole point of all of this.
Erika, 39, trained for more
than a year to prepare for the
USA Games, where she planned
to compete on the balance beam,
uneven bars and in the floor exer-
cise. She didnt plan to attend the
games in a bright red leg cast.
She broke her ankle about a
month ago, Isa Breneisen,
Erikas mother, said. We knew
she couldnt compete, so we called
to ask if she could come as a
guest, and theyve just been so in-
credibly wonderful.
During the competition, Erika
approached each apparatus,
touched it and then turned and
presented herself to the judges.
After doing so, Erika was consid-
ered an official competitor and re-
ceived a medal of participation.
Erika was born with Prader-
Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic
disorder that causes, among other
symptoms, low muscle tone and
delayed motor development.
The Special Olympics have
just been an absolute godsend to
increase her strength and bal-
ance, Isa said. In the last 17
years, shes done swimming,
bowling, roller skating and gym-
nastics.
Erika was the star of the finale
dance, which the gymnasts per-
formed together at the gym
show, an exhibition that includ-
ed performances from local gym-
nastics teams, and from Special
Olympics athletes chosen by the
event judges.
Its a tradition to do a gym
show at the end of the games,
Bickman said. They do it at the
regular Olympics too.
Bickman said her favorite tra-
dition is the Safety Dance, in
which the athletes lead their
coaches, judges and spectators.
We get the audience involved,
and we all dance together, and I
totally believe in that, Bickman
said. What more fitting way to
finish a competition?
Bickman runs a gym in Mariet-
ta, Ga., where she coaches ath-
letes with disabilities alongside
those without.
Our mission is to raise the
standard, Bickman said.
Theres not many people like me
that are working in Special
Olympics, so weve been doing a
big push to educate coaches. Just
because theyre Special
Olympians doesnt mean theyre
second-class. They should walk
on the floor with the sparkles on
their leotards, the hair put up,
everything just like in the regular
Olympics. From the beginning,
we set out to raise the standard,
and you know what? Look
around. Its worked.
Erika said while she loves
being the star of the finale per-
formance, she couldnt do it with-
out her new friend Emily Belk,
who pushes her wheelchair dur-
ing the performance.
I just met her today, and were
great friends, Belk, a former Spe-
cial Olympics competitor who
volunteered at this years Games,
said. Ive enjoyed meeting new
friends. I like being around peo-
ple with I guess you could say
disabilities but people like me,
where we have something even
more in common, because we do
gymnastics together.
Belk, also 39, said her gymnas-
tics skills have vastly improved
over the last year, but she takes
even more pride in the way shes
been able to apply her new skills
off the gymnastics mat.
My coaches give me confi-
dence in myself that Im doing a
good job, Belk said. Ive learned
to communicate better. I was very,
very quiet. I wouldnt ever talk to
strangers. It used to be Id get re-
ally stressed when things
changed, but now Im getting
used to things changing a lot. And
when Im not in the gym, Im
spreading the new confidence
down in Auburn, Ala.
Belk said that while the Special
Olympics have taken her to in-
credible places shes competed
in London and South Africa her
favorite souvenirs are the friend-
ships she finds among her fellow
athletes.
This is really the best part,
Belk said, tossing her arms
around Erika as they both smiled
broadly for a photo.

Athletes and their families
from as far as Alaska and
Hawaii were able to experience
the Jersey Shore all week long,
not at the pier at Point Pleasant
or Seaside Heights, but at The
College of New Jersey.
Special Olympics Town was a
festival-type event with a Jersey
Shore theme, complete with a
mini beach, boardwalk, games
and vendors. At the Jersey
Shore athletes can eat funnel
cake, win prizes and participate
in pin trading and a variety of
interactive activities.
Jeanne Vocaturo, Olympic
Town commissioner, explained
that when the bid to bring the
Games to town was created, the
objective was to provide guests
with a special events package
that would leave athletes, coach-
es and families with an authen-
tic New Jersey experience.
We wanted to give the ath-
letes and their families the
boardwalk, a beach party,
games, music and entertain-
ment, Vocaturo said.
Vocaturo reported positive
feedback from athletes, recall-
ing one who said, Now my fam-
ily and I have to find time to go
to the Shore because he had
never seen a real beach.
Last night, we had a real
beach party going, everyone
was dancing in the sand in a
train and really having a blast,
she said last week. Everybody
has loved it.
While the event positively
promoted the Jersey Shore as a
destination for out-of-state visi-
tors, Vocaturo said what was re-
ally important was giving the
athletes the opportunity to take
a break from the competition.
It is good to give them the op-
portunity to put competition
away for a minute and just have
some good old-fashioned fun,
she said.
Olympic Town featured sever-
al New Jersey musical acts such
as Tim McLoone and The B-
Street Band. Prominent Mercer
County band Slightly Used also
performed.
Vocaturo said Olympic Town
was typically busiest around
5:30 p.m. as events were wrap-
ping up each day and athletes
could cut loose.

obituary
Ann Harris Yasuhara
June 11, 2014
Ann Harris Yasuhara, 82, died
at her home in Princeton on
Wednesday, June 11. A logician
and computer scientist, she was
known for combining her Quaker
faith with action focused on
peace, social justice, racial equali-
ty and the environment. Her life
balanced her love for the sacred-
ness of all life, the compassionate
concerns of a Quaker activist for
the world and the local communi-
ty, her delight in music, garden-
ing and art, and her generosity to
friends and family.
Born on March 8, 1932 in Madi-
son, Wisconsin, her parents were
Julian Earle Harris (a noted
French language educator at the
University of Wisconsin) and
Elizabeth Marshall Harris, a
sculptor. She studied cooking and
fashion design in Paris, attended
Swarthmore College, and earned
her bachelors, masters and doc-
toral degrees in mathematics
from the University of Illinois. In
1970m she and her husband, Mit-
suru, settled in Princeton in a
cozy little house with a garden
and pursued their vibrant inter-
ests in mathematics, music and
art. Ever adventurous, they trav-
eled widely, including regular
trips to visit his family in Japan.
Perhaps her favorite place was
her garden.
In 1972 she joined the new de-
partment of computer science at
Rutgers University, where she
was an associate professor; she
supervised the PhD theses of
Frank Hawrusik, Venkataraman
Natarajan and Elaine Weyuker.
Ileana Streinu, now the
Charles N. Clark professor of
computer science and mathemat-
ics at Smith College, remembers
Yasuhara's classes on recursive
function theory and logic and her
textbook. "It was an exquisite
topic, beautiful mathematics that
Ann was conveying to genera-
tions of graduate students,
Streinu said. In a department
with only a few women on the fac-
ulty, she was a model to look up
to. With grace and generosity, she
touched my life and the lives of
many students like me."
Yasuhara belonged to the liv-
ing tradition of Quaker spirit-led
peace and justice activists. Un-
flagging in her resistance to war
and violence, she studied the phi-
losophy and methods of non-vio-
lent resolution of conflict with
George Lakey, the noted Quaker
peace activist. In turn, she led
training groups for inner city
children. Within the Society of
Friends (Quakers) she served
terms at Princeton Friends Meet-
ing as clerk of the meeting and
clerk of the committee on peace
and social concerns. She also
served on committees in Philadel-
phia Yearly Meeting, an associa-
tion of 103 Quaker meetings.
Most recently she enthusiastical-
ly supported and went on
protests with the nonviolent di-
rect action group, Earth Quaker
Action Team, which works to end
mountaintop removal coal min-
ing. On her 79th birthday, she
protested on a strenuous moun-
tain climb in West Virginia min-
ing country. In January, just be-
fore she was diagnosed with can-
cer, the Philadelphia-based group
honored her as one of its out-
standing "wise elders."
"Ann was a leader in the Quak-
er faith and an inspiration to all
of us. She set the bar very high
and gave us confidence to fight for
a better world," said Janet Gard-
ner, a documentary filmmaker at
the Gardner Group and a member
of Princeton Friends Meeting.
Within the Princeton commu-
nity, she helped found Silent
Prayers for Peace, which keeps
silent vigil every Wednesday in
Palmer Square. She was a found-
ing member of the Latin Ameri-
can Legal Defense and Education
Fund. As a founding member of
Princeton's Not in Our Town, an
interracial, interfaith social ac-
tion group committed to racial
justice, she was instrumental in
creating programs that honor
and support youth of diverse
backgrounds. She also teamed
with the Princeton Public Li-
brary to develop, through NIOT,
thought-provoking community
discussions on race, white privi-
lege, bullying, and the environ-
ment. Her work with students
was notable. She was a volunteer
tutor, supported Committed
Princetonians (a mentoring
group), and served on the Minori-
ty Education Board of Princeton
Regional Schools.
She is survived by Mitsuru Ya-
suhara, her husband of 49 years;
her godchildren Josue Rivera-
Olds, Grecia N. Rivera, and Julio
R. Rivera; cousins including
Sarah Rogers Pyle Sener
(Pikesville, Mar.), Jan Marshall
Fox, J. Laird Marshall, Nancy
Marshall Bauer (Madison, Wisc.),
Jane Marshall (Birmingham,
Ala.), Richard H. Marshall
(Toronto, Canada), James R. Mar-
shall (Gardnerville, Nev.), and
Barbara Figge Fox (Princeton)
and their families.
A memorial service will be
held on Saturday, July 5, at 2 p.m.
at Princeton Friends Meeting.
Donations in her memory may
be made to any of the many chari-
ties she supported and/or to
Princeton Friends Meeting, 470
Quaker Road, Princeton.
The following have been re-
ported from the Princeton Police
Department.
On June 8 at 11:27 a.m. a victim
reported her vehicle being bur-
glarized while parked on the 100
block of Cleveland Lane or the
300 block of Witherspoon Street.
Two credit cards and approxi-
mately $140 in cash were stolen.
The credit cards were later used
fraudulently in Delaware and
Maryland.
On June 9 at 7:47 a.m. unknown
actors wrote on the walls and on
the bathroom stall door at the
Grover Park bathrooms at 301
Harrison St. The incident is
under investigation.
On June 11 at 11:14 a.m. subse-
quent to a motor vehicle stop, a
33-year-old female from Lamber-
ton Street in Trenton was found
to have three active warrants for
her arrest with a total bail of
$6,000. She was arrested and re-
leased after posting bail.
On June 11 at 10:28 p.m. a 1999
grey Toyota Camry operated by a
22-year-old male resident of
Spring Street was struck by a
DNC Taxi (2002 white Lincoln
Towncar) operated by a 59-year-
old female from Hamilton on
Stockton Street in the intersec-
tion at Library Place. The Camry
was traveling east on Stockton
Street, and the taxi was traveling
north on Library Place at the
time of the crash. After impact,
the 22-year-old males vehicle
struck a curb and two NJ DOT
utility boxes. The taxi struck a
curb and a fire hydrant. The taxi
driver complained of chest pain
and was transported by ambu-
lance to the University Medical
Center at Plainsboro. The taxi
driver had a rear seat passenger
who was uninjured. The driver of
the Camry was also uninjured.
There was no reported damage to
the NJ DOT utility boxes or the
fire hydrant. Police summoned
the taxi driver at the scene for
failing to observe a traffic signal.

U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (NJ-12) an-
nounced the names of the stu-
dents from the 12th Congression-
al District of New Jersey who
will attend the United States Mili-
tary Service Academies begin-
ning this fall. These students
have demonstrated extraordinary
leadership, intelligence, commit-
ment to public service, and
strength of character, Holt said.
It is an honor to recognize
these accomplished young New
Jerseyans, and I know they will
serve America with distinction as
academy students and military
officers.
As a member of Congress, Holt
may nominate highly qualified
New Jersey students to the U.S.
Air Force Academy, the U.S. Mili-
tary Academy at West Point, the
U.S. Merchant Marine Academy,
and the U.S. Naval Academy. The
selection process is extremely
competitive and considers each
candidates academic accomplish-
ments, physical training, leader-
ship potential, extracurricular
activities, and other proven abili-
ties.
Graduates of the military acad-
emies are commissioned as offi-
cers in the U.S. military. The at-
tendees are as follows:

The Princeton Area Girls Vol-
leyball Club successfully finished
its sold-out second year of clinics.
Hosted by the West Windsor Vol-
leyball Club, the club for middle
and high school age girls meets
on Thursday evenings at Prince-
ton Academy to learn skills, fos-
ter fitness and have a fun time
learning to dig, spike and bump!
Volleyball is a life-long sport,
and PAG's mission is to develop
an appreciation for the game, be
an opportunity for girls to play
for fun and fitness, as well as to
provide a solid development pro-
gram for those wanting to play
competitively with WWVCB.
PAG members regularly partic-
ipate in summer beach volleyball,
attend Princeton University
Women's Volleyball events, and
will continue to offer clinics and
intramural games during the
school year in Princeton. Interest-
ed families are welcome and en-
couraged to email Princeton-
GirlsVB@gmail.com or visit

information, schedules, dates and
locations.
The Princeton Area Anti-Tor-
ture Group will host a lecture on
Human Trafficking by former
U.S. senator and former New Jer-
sey attorney general Jeffrey
Chiesa on Thursday, June 26 at
7:30 p.m., in the Sophia Lyon Fahs
Auditorium at the Princeton Uni-
tarian Universalist Congregation
Church, 50 Cherry Hill Road,
Princeton (just off Route 206 at
Cherry Hill Road).
The talk is entitled The Chal-
lenge of Human Trafficking,
and marks the end of Torture
Awareness Month.
Chiesa is known for his person-
al dedication to ending human
trafficking. Tracy Thompson, as-
sistant attorney general for
human trafficking, will introduce
him.
In the United States, it is esti-
mated that 100,000 girls less than
18 years old are trafficked into
commercial sex each year. Those
who fall victim to human traffick-
ing are often those with the least
number of options. In a place
such as Nigeria, for instance,
where 200 schoolgirls recently
were kidnapped, some two-thirds
of women in the region have had
no formal education, only one in
20 has completed high school, and
half are married by age 15. So
often girls in such circumstances
fall into the hands of human traf-
fickers.
This event is sponsored by the
Princeton Area Interfaith Anti-
Torture Group with numerous co-
sponsors, Unitarian Universalist
Congregation of Princeton So-
cial Justice Committee; All Saints
Church; Nassau Presbyterian
Church; Coalition for Peace Ac-
tion; Princeton Community TV;
Women Who Never Give Up;
Jonette C Smart, president, Tren-
ton NAACP; Amnesty Interna-
tional Princeton Area Group;
Trenton Friends Monthly Meet-
ing; Princeton University Office
of Religious Life; United Mercer
Interfaith Organization; Latin
American Legal Defense & Edu-
cation Fund; YWCA Princeton;
Westminster Presbyterian
Church; Lawrenceville Presbyte-
rian Church Peacemaking
Committee; Covenant Presbyteri-
an Church-Trenton; the League
of Women Voters Princeton
Area; and the Million Mom
March.
Plenty of parking will be avail-
able. Light refreshments will be
served. The event is free.
