School district

proposes$89.6M budget

By VITA DUVAThe Sun

On Monday, April 13, PrincetonPublic School SuperintendentSteven Cochrane met withPrinceton officials to discuss thisyear’s projected $89.6 millionschool district budget.

“A school budget is not aboutdollars; it is about children. It isabout the future of our kids andhow we, as a community, chooseto finance the future. In prepar-ing the 2015-2016 tentative budgetfor the Princeton Public Schools,

we faced both challenges andchoices,” Cochrane told Councillast Monday night. “The chal-lenges were tied primarily to ris-ing health-care costs and rapidlyrising enrollments.”

Health care accounts for ap-proximately $10 million of theschool district’s proposed budgetand rises at a rate of 7-10 percenteach year. Enrollment was up by

120 students last year and is projected to rise by 100 students nextyear, and by 90 students for thefollowing year.

“We need to hire new teacherswho, with health benefits, arebudgeted at $80,000 each; we alsoneed to purchase new materialsand renovate new spaces to ad-dress our enrollment increases,”Cochrane said.

As a result of its health-carecosts, the school district qualifiedfor a health benefit waiver of ap-proximately $413,000. Due to sig-nificant enrollment increases for

the past several years, the districtqualified for an enrollment waiv-er of $1.7 million, which is beingspread over the next three budgetyears. The enrollment waivermust be used to support enroll-ment-related expenses, such ashiring new teachers, funding as-sociated supplies and creating

Maurer, Schwab of PPD make first Narcan save

Take a ‘Stand Against Racism’ with YWCA

By VITA DUVAThe Sun

“The issue of opiate dependen-cy is very real, and no communityis immune. Individuals and fami-lies need to educate themselveson the signs of opiate addiction,and realize that the problem isone that requires outside re-sources and treatment. Heroin isone of the most physiologicallyaddictive drugs.”

Those are the infiltratingwords of Princeton Police Depart-ment’s Sgt. Geoff M. Maurer.

On April 2 at 11:04 a.m., thePrinceton Police Department re-ceived a 9-1-1 call from a male re-porting that his friend, a 22-year-old female, whom he had takenoutside, was unconscious, andhad overdosed after using heroin.

Maurer and Patrolman LucasSchwab quickly responded to thepublic bench at the 100 block of Nassau Street.

Upon arrival, the two patrolsfound the female, who at the timewas lying on a bench, to be unre-sponsive.

“Her respiratory rate was di-minished, and her pupils werevery constricted. Schwab opened

the first aid bag and began to setup supplemental oxygen and amask, while I opened the Narcankit, assembled it and adminis-tered the nasal Narcan,” Maurersaid of their hope to revive the fe-male.

But, there was no immediatereaction.

After several minutes hadpassed, the Princeton First Aidand Rescue Squad, along withparamedics, arrived on the scene,

just as Maurer administered asecond dose of nasal Narcan.

“I was hoping to see a dramatic

change in the victim’s level of consciousness – for her to vomit,or some of the other indicationsthat tell that the Narcan wasworking. As the EMTs loaded herinto the ambulance, none of thoseindicators were present,” Maurersaid.

The female was then transport-ed to the University Medical Cen-ter at Plainsboro for further med-ical treatment.

“When the paramedics fromCapital Health Systems openedthe back doors to the ambulance,I could see that the victim wasnow looking at me. She appearedsleepy and lethargic, but it was

now obvious to me that the Nar-can was working,” he said.

This was PPD’s first Narcansave.

“The police department is veryproud of the officers who savedthis woman’s life. Officers areoften the first on the scene of

drug overdoses, and secondscount,” Sgt. Steven Riccitellosaid.

“With the Narcan, our officerscan take quick, effective action.Narcan greatly increases thechance of successful outcomes aswas demonstrated with this

save.”The Mercer County Prosecu-

tor’s Office distributed and sup-plied nasal Narcan kits and man-dated training to all police depart-ments in the county on Nov. 1,2014.

It was through a directive bythe county prosecutor thatPrinceton and all surroundingpolice departments wereequipped.

Thus, Maurer and Schwab’s ac-tions on Nassau Street were ulti-mately the culmination of a hostof other factors, which thankfully

led the victim to recovery.“Our officers were competent,

well trained and professional, andwe were able to get to the victimquickly to administer the Narcan.We also provided her with sub-stance abuse information, and wehope she utilizes the services tohelp her combat her addiction,”Maurer said.

“There is no greater momentin a police officer’s career than toknow that you have helped to savesomeone’s life. I truly believe thateveryone involved in getting Nar-can into the hands of first respon-ders should share in this proudmoment.”

This month, take a “StandAgainst Racism” with YWCAPrinceton. From April 23-26, morethan 300,000 people from acrossthe country are expected to take“a stand against racism” and dotheir share in helping to press for-ward YWCA’s ardent mission toeliminate racism and promoteracial justice and civil rights. Andyou can be one of them.

Co-founded in 2006 by both theYWCA Princeton and YWCATrenton, Stand Against Racismhas since been a flourishing cam-paign at YWCAs around the U.S.and is now a proud signature

campaign of YWCA USA.“Actually, it was over a lunch

conversation at MediterraRestaurant and Tavern in Prince-ton that the CEO of YWCA Tren-ton, Nancy L. Gallagher, and Italked about how we could bridgeour communities and createawareness that racism still exists.We attracted the support of thePrinceton Area CommunityFoundation, and Stand AgainstRacism was created,” Judy Hut-ton, CEO at YWCA Princeton,

said of the movement’s initialstart. “When YWCA USA asked if they could make it a signaturecampaign, we said yes becausewith their leadership, we canbring our advocacy work to the

next level, including CapitolHill.”

Stand Against Racism is de-signed to build a communityamong those who work for racial

justice and to raise awarenessabout the negative impact of in-stitutional and structural racism.

This year, in specific, StandAgainst Racism will also serve asa time to focus on local, state andfederal level advocacy to endracial profiling. YWCA Princetonsupports legislation that bans the

practice of racial profiling at thefederal, state and local levels.

To that end, YWCA Princetonhas joined hands with themayor’s office and local organiza-tions such as Arts Council of

Princeton, Corner House, TheLatin American Legal Defenseand Education Fun, The Leagueof Women Voters, Not In OurTown, Planned Parenthood of Mercer County, Princeton Com-munity Housing, PrincetonHuman Services Commission,Princeton Public Library, localschools, places of worship andmany others, and is connectingwith policymakers to implementpolicies that eradicate racial pro-filing.

“I feel it is important to takepart in Stand Against Racism toreaffirm our community’s com-mitment to diversity and inclu-sion. Princeton is the wonderfulplace it is today because of the

contributions of so many people – past and present – who have livedand worked here and have helpedto shape the town,” Mayor LizLempert said. “I believe every sin-gle person has something to con-tribute, and it is important for allof us, but especially those of us inleadership positions, to foster anenvironment where everyone’svoice is respected, and every resi-dent feels a sense of belonging.”

In addition, a police represen-tative from the Princeton Police

Department will also be in atten-dance at this year’s event. Sgt.Steven Riccitello explained thatthe department has safeguards in

bout 10 years ago, we started a

contest of sorts that helped us

give back to the community of

Haddonfield.

In the contest, we ask residents of

Haddonfield – which, at the time, was

one of the only towns where we had a

newspaper – to submit short essaystelling the community why a local non-

profit group deserved to receive a do-

nation. We gathered all the nominating

essays, published them and held a com-

munity-wide vote to see who was most

deserving.

After we tallied the votes, we donat-

ed $500 to the organization that won,

and we also gave $100 to the person

who wrote that particular essay. For

us, this contest – which we called The

Ray of Hope – was a way for us to give

back to the community in an extreme-

ly impactful way.

The smaller organizations that re-

ceived nominations – such as a CubScout troop, a garden club, a senior cit-

izens club or a book reading club –

often do as much for the community as

the larger, more well-known non-prof-

its do, but they just don’t receive the

same attention, or financial backing.

We’re not saying that the March of

Dimes, Red Cross or other non-profits

don’t support worthy causes or are notdeserving of donations; we’re just say-

ing the $500 we were donating had

more of an impact on the local town

organizations, since they operate with

a much smaller budget.

Last year, as we celebrated our com-

pany’s 10th anniversary, with now 10

newspapers that we publish, we ex-

panded on this idea by creating The

Ray of Hope Fund – a part of the Com-

munity Foundation of South Jersey –

to make similar micro-donations to

community organizations that have a

significant impact in the neighbor-hoods they serve.

We’ve been collecting tax-deductible

donations over the last year, and are

still collecting them online at

http://elauw.it/rayofhopefund.

Now, we’re about ready to start dis-

tributing some of this money. But first,

we need your input.

What organization in town do you

think is deserving of a donation from

The Ray of Hope Fund? Send your

nominations to the email address at

the right. Your input is key in helping

us help the community you live in, and

the community we serve.

Help us help local organizations We’re looking for your feedback on what non-profits to support

Who deserves the support?

We want your input as to whatorganization in town is most deservingof a donation from The Ray of HopeFund. Send us a nominating letter to theemail address at the right.

The budget arises while theschool board, the teachers' unionand Princeton Regional Educa-tion Association are still in themidst of confidential negotia-tions.

Princeton Public School teach-ers have been working without acontract since June, and the con-flict remains unresolved after nu-

merous talks.“We believe the budget moves

the district forward in a fiscallyresponsible and prudent way. Weare grateful for the support of ourcommunity and for the manyways they help to enhance thelearning of our students,”Cochrane said. “We believe ourbudget maintains a focus onteaching, learning and innova-tion in the Princeton PublicSchools. It provides for four addi-tional teachers at the high schooland includes additional fundingfor both technology and text-books. The budget is one that al-lows for fair and reasonablesalary increases for all our em-ployees, and is also one that sup-ports initiatives in the areas of student wellness, engineeringand design, dual language immer-sion, and reading, writing andphonics.”

place to prevent racial profilingincluding annual mandatorytraining prohibiting racially in-fluenced policing for all officers.Any complaint received allegingracial profiling is thoroughly in-vestigated by the Internal AffairsUnit, and racial profiling is a vio-lation of the department’s rulesand regulations, as well as a de-partmental policy, and is subjectto disciplinary action.

The federal government’s in-

volvement is also vital to endingracial profiling practices by lawenforcement in communities of color.

Therefore, YWCA Princetonwill be hosting a LegislativeBreakfast at The Nassau Inn, lo-cated at 10 Palmer Square, on themorning of Friday, April 24.

In tandem with community

members and leaders, YWCAPrinceton will be asking electedofficials to urge their congres-sional delegation to pass the End

Racial Profiling Act (HR2851). In-dividuals are also being urged toregister to vote, follow YWCAUSA statements on racial justiceand share them on social media.

As Nancy Faherty, director of advocacy and development atYWCA Princeton expressed, “TheYWCA believes all people – re-gardless of race, ethnicity, reli-gion, national origin or gender – have the right to justice. This in-cludes policies that eradicateracial profiling, increase immi-

grant rights, strengthen affirma-tive action and reduce hatecrimes.

“We strive to eliminate racismthrough awareness and educa-tional programs that keep us trueto our purpose.”

The YWCA USA, YWCAPrinceton and YWCA Trentonhave a deep and lengthy history of

advocating on behalf of women’sissues, workers’ rights, health is-sues, racial justice and more.

“Our mission is needed more

than ever. Our goal is to speak upfor those who cannot,” Fahertysaid. “Yes, it is time to turn ourrallies into an organized move-ment advocating for systematicchange.”

YWCA Princeton encouragesthe community to visit its onlineresource on racial justice atwww.ywcaprinceton.org/rj. Thesite has a wealth of content andaims to raise awareness aboutracial justice and diversity, to pro-vide opportunities to model inclu-

sive behavior, community events,and most importantly, empowerindividuals to make an impact intheir own communities.

folk and dance “Sail AwayLadies” “Risseldy Rosseldy” and“Johnson Boys.”

Hilary Butler, executive direc-tor of the Princeton Girlchoir,said the Princeton Girlchoir is aspecial sight to see and hear sim-ply due to the high level of “musi-cal excellence and beauty” pro-

duced by such young girls.“At the first concert, you would

see and hear our beginning andintermediate choirs who havemade so much progress through-out the year and who are bothdarling to watch and delightful tolisten to,” Butler said.

Then, on Saturday, May 2, at 7p.m. at the Princeton University

Chapel, the group’s advanced

choirs will hold their perform-ance entitled “Luminescence.”

With light as the theme, theMay 2 performance will featurepieces such as Michelle Roueché's“Lux Aeterna,” Rollo Dilworth's“Hold the Light” and RandallThompson's “Choose SomethingLike a Star.”

The performers will also singworks by Ola Gjeilo, riks Esen-valds, Allan Naplan and Jim Pa-poulis.

“Our older and more seasoned

choirs will be performing a moredifficult and impressive reper-toire, and that really is engagingand interesting for audiencemember of all ages,” Butler said.“It’s a special and unique eveningto hear girls and treble voice of this caliber in our community.”

Both concerts will close withthe Princeton Girlchoir alumnae

joining the performers to sing

John Rutter's “The Lord BlessYou and Keep You,” a spring con-cert tradition.

According to Butler, girls fromchoirs of years past have movedon to fields anywhere from medi-cine to engineering, or even stay-ing with choral study in musicalconservatories, but one constanthas been the friendships betweenthe girls and now women, andhow the Girlchoir always loves tosee them return.

“I’ve seen them grow as people

and how they blossomed intostrong young women who havesuch poise and confidence aboutthem to what they can do,” Butlersaid.
