On Saturday, Jan. 10, thePrinceton Public Library wasteeming with activity. The Com-munity Room pulsed as locals ex-perienced drum circles, dancedthe tango and hoop danced to live-ly tunes. Beyond the DVD collec-tions and stacks of books, quieterskills were being learned such ashow to meditate, make granola,weave baskets and create yourown jewelry. Volunteers in theTechnology Center provided skillsets for techies, and foodies en-joyed making reusable foodwraps and going gourmet withpour-over coffee.
The all-day event, 65 Things at65 Witherspoon, gave the librarya chance to show its chops asevery floor and corner of the li-brary simultaneously took on ateacher, lesson and learner enjoy-ing their Saturday to the fullest.
Four-year-old Kate Xu ofPrinceton came with her mom tothe library. Although she sat get-ting her face painted with splash-es of glitter – an artsy enterprisethat approached the top of her list– Kate’s favorite thing was watch-
ing the balloon animals come tolife. Balloon artist Bill Diamond
had a line at his station from opento close.
Jason Defrancesco of Hopewelldabbled on a unicycle at onepoint.
His small son, dressed as Spi-der Man, exclaimed from a sea ofspectators, “That’s my dad!”
Defrancesco said the tutorialshe took to the most were how tospeak with a British accent andhow to make pour-over coffeewith a Chemex, the coffee productthat looks like a funnel collidedwith the bottom half of an hour-glass.
The teacher, Khurt Williams, atech guy with an infatuation withcoffee, said, “Creating the ulti-mate cup of coffee is about theright temperature, the rightgrind, the quality of the bean andwater, and mastering the slowpour. My demonstration fusesmodern – using a reusable filterbut a classic machine.”
“He really knows what he’sdoing,” Defrancesco said ofWilliams.
Friends Riley Crawford, 10,and Hailey Hidalgo, 9, hung outon the third floor with librarianJanie Hermann, who led an artsand crafts series. The girls, alongwith some other artisans such asLittlebrook student Julian Tu-
mulka, 7, fabricated sheets ofpaper mache into giant floralarrangements.
“So far, we’ve done knitting,Argentinian tango and this,”Riley said, referring to her flower.“Next, we’re doing singing. I lovesinging! I am most excited forthat.”
Three-year-old Elle Daviespranced around between the 65things – more so observing andrunning than participating.
“I’m having fun today,” Elle,her eyes gazing up, announced.
Downstairs in the CommunityRoom, Macayla Baxter, MichelleMedina, Naomi Nazario and IsiahNazario, all 9, showed off theirhoop skills. Coming from onehoop to another – Macayla,Michelle and Naomi just camefrom basketball practice at the Y –the ladies impressed passersbyand library staff with their ap-parent hooping experience. Eachgirl swung the hoops from theirwaists up to their arms and con-tinued to hoop while kneeling tothe ground.
“Being at the library today is sofun,” Macayla said. “It’s such agreat way to spend time with myfriends.”

Across the state, almost all schooldistricts will be doing less with less.But did your board cut enough fromthe budget? Too much? Do you agreewith the tax rate? Do you think itshould have been higher to providemore services? What are your ideasfor cutting expenses and raising rev-enues?

American pastor and activist MartinLuther King, Jr. once said, “Our lives beginto end the day we become silent about thethings that matter.”
On the third Monday of January eachyear, Americans band together in honor ofthis national holiday to not only appreciatethe birth of King and to commemorate ourcountry’s history, but also to remind our-selves to take a stand and be heard forwhat it is that we believe in.

JAN. 21–27, 2015 – THE PRINCETON SUN 7
ANTHONY HEARN, CPAMASTER OF SCIENCE IN TAXATION
Former Internal Revenue AgentEvening or Weekend Appointments – Your house or mine
In recent months, local cabcompanies have expressed con-cern about the presence of com-peting, non-traditional compa-nies such as Lyft coming intoPrinceton.
The new kids on the block –tech-reliant, ecologically encour-aging and ultra-trendy drivingservices that have become in-creasingly popular in cities anduniversity towns across the coun-try – utilize a key component forsuccess: phone apps.
While flagging down that icon-ic yellow car from a city sidewalkremains a reliable way to get aride, will this generation’s phonefriendly business model takeover? The Princeton Council hasnot yet decided what to do aboutthe new companies, but plans toopen the issue for discussion –hearing out locals, taxi ownersand the police department – inearly February.
To use this ride service, onemust download the app and oncesigned in they can immediatelyview all registered drivers in thearea, choose one and catch a ridefrom wherever they are.
In Princeton, most of the cabcompanies use dispatchers and aquick phone call will get you a carin no time. Guillermo Saquicela,owner of Taxi Tu Amigo Cystal,LLC., a cab service that frequentsPrinceton for tourists riding fromEast Windsor’s chain hotels toNassau Street or the university,feels companies such as Lyft andUber are technology companies,not cab companies.
“In my opinion, this is basical-ly a new type of business comingfrom a different industry that isunfair to every taxi driver,”Saquicela said.
Saquicela also brought up theissue of taxes and regulationsbeing enforced on local cab compa-nies but not yet on the app-drivendrivers working for Lyft and Uber.
The owner of A & A Taxi Com-
pany of Princeton, Saul Mazarie-gos, spoke up at a council meetingon Monday, Jan. 12 with concernssimilar to Saquicela’s.
“I am concerned about the ve-hicles working in this area with-out a license,” Mazariegos stated.“I am wondering if there is any-thing that can be done.”
Mayor Liz Lempert and Coun-cilwoman Jo Butler acknowl-edged the public comment andsaid council would have a meet-ing with various local taxi driversas well as with the police.
“We want to take another stabat the workings of the ordinancebut we are aware of the issues,have had a conversation withsome other registered taxi ownersand plan to organize a meeting inearly February,” Butler said.
Chelsea Wilson, public policycommunications manager at Lyftheadquarters in San Francisco,addressed some of the apprehen-sions traditional taxi drivers andusers may have on their mindsabout how this non-traditionalcar service is regulated. Accord-ing to Wilson, every driver whohas applied and been approved towork for Lyft has gone through athorough criminal backgroundcheck, DMV driving recordcheck, had in person-screeningand training with a five-star men-tor driver. In addition, from themoment the application is turnedon and the driver has left to pickup a passenger, they are coveredby $1 million of commercial lia-bility insurance.
Wilson emphasized how Lyftco-founders, John Zimmer andLogan Green, have a goal to com-plement existing public trans-portation and taxis and fill “theempty seat” – referring to thecountless cars with one persondriving or commuting with noone else in the car.
“We use technology to fill thoseempty seats, reduce the need forexcess cars on the road and theneed for cars altogether,” Wilsonsaid.
Lyft hopes to work with other
taxi companies and support pub-lic transportation by solving “thelast mile problem.”
“If someone takes a bus ortrain, the station is often a littlefarther than they may want towalk or bike. People can be lessinclined to use public transit be-cause of this problem. Being ableto quickly access a convenientand safe ride home with an appmakes public transportation amore viable, economical and eco-friendly option,” Wilson ex-plained.
Wilson also said Lyft hasworked with a lot of local govern-ments to abide by a set of desig-nated rules. Most often, when reg-ulations are not put in place, it isbecause the city has not yet creat-ed them for companies with thismodel.
“A lot of councils recognize thebenefits that these apps bring tothe community in terms of sus-tainability and ride sharing, espe-cially in towns with college stu-dents,” Wilson said.

what a few people passingthrough town had to share withus last week:
Princeton local Krizia Zehrsaid celebrating MLK Day,“shows that even in times when itmay seem like no one will supportyou, people will certainly be thereto stand behind you.
“Especially, when your stanceis something that helps to supportthe masses.”
Military soldier Erika Serranafeels that while MLK Day is cer-tainly a day for celebration, “theholiday is really about remember-ing Martin Luther King, Jr.’s ac-tive role in the advancement ofcivil rights.”
“A big event in U.S. history, peo-ple from near or far want to re-serve a day to remember whatMartin Luther King, Jr. has donefor this country, more than any-thing,” she said on her way out ofthe Princeton Public Library.
Ingrid Ockert, a doctoral stu-dent in the history department atPrinceton University, felt ques-tions about MLK Day really hithome for her: “It reminds me ofmy friends who have been activein the Ferguson protesters’marches as of recent. So, I thinkMLK Day is a time to remind usall that we can make that
progress and that we can makethose achievements.”
And, of course, the same goesfor Princetonian Eli Manning.
“I definitely appreciate whatMartin Luther King, Jr. hasachieved for this country,” hesaid.

Ring in the New Year without being on a dietPRINCETON, N.J. (Jan. 6, 2015) — Many of us routinely make —and break — New Year's resolutions. This year, you'll be able tokeep your healthy eating resolution, with the help of the Cogni-Diet® Weight Loss Programs.
Founder Veronique Cardon explains that her programs are notabout dieting. They are about changing behavior when it comesto diet, stress and exercise. She said this is the only way to loseand keep weight off in the long run — diets do not work. The pro-grams have been met with a 95 percent success rate. Three partic-ipants share their success stories on The CogniDiet® Weight LossPrograms on The CogniDiet You Tube Channel.
Three CogniDiet® Weight Loss Programs are offered in groups orone-on-ones:
12-week Program: It takes 12 weeks to learn new skills and rewirethe brain to behave differently when met with temptations. Peoplehave lost up to 25 pounds and an average of 12 pounds in 12 weeks.
4-week Sugar (and Carbohydrates) Detox Program: Participantseliminate sugar and white carbohydrates from their diet. Peoplehave lost up to 12 pounds in four weeks.
6-week Program: This program is ideal for those who have hit aweight loss plateau, who have regained some weight or who just
want to get back on track. It is recommended to attend this pro-gram one on one. A recent participant, at 70 years old and 130pounds, lost 6 pounds in six weeks.
Here's what 50-year-old Susan, a personal trainer from Princeton,NJ, said of the Sugar Detox program: "I learned so much in fourshort weeks, more than simply what to eat or not eat. This classreally got behind the cognitive choices we make and why. ... Allthis in four short weeks!"
Cardon said the reason the CogniDiet® Weight Loss Programsare so successful is because "they teach you the relationships be-tween your body and the foods you eat. You will not count calories;there are no food restrictions and no points to count or processedfoods to buy. The programs are designed to train your brain tomake the right decisions when choosing what to eat. The Cogni-Diet® is great for anyone who has previously failed at dieting."
New CogniDiet® sessions are beginning in January, both at thePrinceton office and online. For more information, visit TheCog-niDiet.com or call 609-285-2949.

A screening and discussion ofthe film “DamNation” will takeplace Friday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. atPrinceton Public Library as a spe-cial event of the Princeton Envi-ronmental Film Festival.
In the documentary, filmmak-ers Ben Knight and Travis Rum-mel explore the recent movementto remove old and outdated damsto restore natural river systems
across the United States. Profiling activists and advo-
cates who are working to free therivers, the film delves into the sci-ence, economics and history ofdams, 30,000 of which were erect-ed in the U.S. between 1950 and1970.

rediscovered his own spiritualitythat he was able to find his truemusical niche.
Immersed in the practice ofkundalini yoga and meditation,Singh returned once again to hismusical roots. Chanting mantrasas part of his yogic lifestyle soonturned into Singh developing hisown sound and, eventually, writ-ing and producing his own music.
Singh’s music combinesmantras from different tradi-tions, poetry and original lyrics.He also accompanies himselfwith African hand drums, anAfrican string instrument called‘Ngoni and other percussions.
“I want people to see the joy inmy music and the message oflove, peace and happiness that isalways accessible to us even intimes of sadness and strife,”
Singh said of what he hopes peo-ple take away from his music. “Iwant people to know that we arethe captains of our ships, and wecan sail in any direction that wechoose. I see my music as a toolfor teaching and expression ofmy love for humanity.”
Singh is a follower of his ownpassions.
A musician, yoga instructorand artist of abstract expression-ism, time is not an obstacle for hisbusy lifestyle.
“I view everything that I en-gage in as a spiritual practice,” hesaid. “My love for life keeps memotivated and excited, and eachpassion of mine feeds the otherand pushes the creative processinto a high vibration with myconsistency. It is just a matter ofbudgeting my time for the thingsI have a great passion and lovefor.”

I have possibly survived?’ And an-swered, ‘Sometimes I feel like Ineeded to live just to tell peopleabout it.’”
Aranka and Josef were both inAuschwitz. Aranka and her sis-ters lost their mother to the gaschamber and crematorium. Afterbeing stripped of their identity,forced to starve and be herdedlike cattle to trenches wheredeath took from them, every day,their ability to breathe, Josef andAranka saw each other fromacross the barbed wire fence. Re-gardless of circumstance, or per-haps because of circumstance,they fell in love.
“You’re striking a deep cord,”Steven said about seeing thebeauty of his parents finding lovein the most inhuman conditionsimaginable. “I’ve always felt thissense of irony. I wish I couldbring back 6 million people andall the generations and life storiesthat could be redeemed. However,if not for the Holocaust, I would-n’t be here. It’s the blessing andthe bane.”
A committee member of theMercer County Holocaust andGenocide Resource Center,Steven, with a similar mission asJFCS, seeks to acknowledge andshare the Jewish experiencethroughout and after WWII. Hisdocumentary, which has aired onstations such as PBS, also circu-lates the public school systemwith a corresponding study guideto enlighten youth on the realitiesof oppression and genocide.
JFCS, though non-sectarian,was founded in 1936 as a serviceto Jewish Americans, many ofwhom had recently immigratedto the U.S. after being releasedfrom European camps.
“We helped people get settledwhen they arrived in this coun-
try,” Hlewicki said of her organi-zation. “After becoming very self-sufficient, they branched away.Some of them, however, havesince then reconnected with us intheir old age.”
JFCS offers services to anyonein Mercer County. It has the onlykosher food pantry in the county,provide counseling, case manag-ing, a plethora of youth programsand senior services ranging frombereavement support, chore help,social luncheons and home visits.
The Gala, in addition to show-ing the video and candle lighting,has invited individuals from theJewish community, such asMitchell and Jeff Schwartz, theonly two Jewish brothers to playsimultaneously in the NFL since1923 and two of the five activeJewish players in the league. Atribute book was also prepared solocal families could honor lovedones, both living and dead, whosurvived the Holocaust.
The 2015 Gala will take placethe night of Feb. 28, from 7 to 11p.m., at the Westin Princeton inForrestal Village. Seventy yearsago, on Jan. 27, 1945, the SovietArmy entered the gates of a death
camp and liberated the remain-ing 7,000 prisoners fromAuschwitz.

ed without closing the street be-cause of its close proximity to theareas open to foot and motor traf-fic. AvalonBay, Yanuzzi andKiser’s office had been research-ing times that were most con-ducive to closing the street. Hav-ing schools in session along withmorning traffic and road closureswas not a good option.
Kiser and his affiliates decidedthe weekend of the MartinLuther King Jr. holiday, whenschools were to be closed Fridaythrough Monday, was the oppor-tune time to work on the J Build-ing.
“It certainly makes sense to dothe work on the building duringthat period of time,” Kiser said atthe meeting. “It is also importantthat the sidewalk areas be closedand the road be closed. As theywork on the building, some partsmight come down and otherscould still hang in the air.”
The engineering staff andPrinceton Police Departmentpromised to oversee the site andstreet to keep close tabs on whenthe area would be secure to re-open. Jack West, land use engi-neer, John Pettenati, building offi-cial, Jeff Grosser, health director,
and Kiser have all been monitor-ing the work on site to ensureeverything is safe. It was evidentto council and the neighborhoodresidents that staff has been ad-dressing every issue it becomesaware of.
To maintain respect for the hol-iday and its corresponding eventsover the long weekend, the policeand engineering departmentsmet with the Princeton ClergyAssociation to discuss the clo-sure. Understanding the need fordemolition, Kiser said the clergyagreed to have WitherspoonStreet off limits. In considerationfor the town’s traffic needs, thepolice also put signs on Princetonroads – paid for by Yanuzzi – indi-cating detour routes and road clo-sure information throughout thefour days. Kiser and his team metwith local doctors’ offices thatmight be affected by the closureto ensure their patients knewwhere to park. Yanuzzi paid toarrange having police officers sta-tioned 24 hours over the weekendto ensure protection and assis-tance were in place around theneighborhood.
“Yanuzzi has confirmed it willbe another three to four weeks tofinish up the work on the J Build-ing, but this portion is imperativeto completing demolition,” Kisersaid. “We’re looking forward tothis completion so that there will
not be a need for additional dis-ruption to the neighborhood.”
Councilwoman Jo Butlerthanked Kiser and the staff for re-sponding so promptly to anynoise complaints that have oc-curred around the Witherspoonneighborhood. In addition toprompt replies and fixes, the engi-neering department said it triesits best to inhibit noise com-plaints from occurring in the firstplace. It has worked with the townto alleviate clamor such as jackhammering – providing, for ex-ample, eco barriers to lessen thesound.
The progress made on the west-ern side of the site’s large build-ing during Martin Luther KingJr. Day weekend was another op-portunity to investigate noise so-lutions during a heavy-work peri-od.
Mayor Liz Lempert reiterated athank you to the staff for being soattentive during the constructionprocess and thanked the neigh-bors for being so patient.
“The good news is that the endof the demolition is at least some-what in sight,” she said.
“In three to four weeks, wehope to finish with J Building,and AvalonBay foresees a comple-tion date for all foundation workto occur sometime in March,”Kiser said. “The next stage is tostart building the new facility.”

hopefully end up with somethingdelicious to eat at the end.”
Fromm’s collection of essays,which is part memoir, part cook-book, shows readers just howhealthy and uplifting it might beto consider using cooking as acoping method.
Raised amid her parents’ mud-dled marriage, Fromm candidlylauds her mother’s cooking forholding tough times together.
“Growing up, we sat down as afamily every night for dinner. Themood was not always festive orfun, but the food was always deli-cious, no matter what happened,”Fromm recalls of her childhood.“My mom always seemed restedand happy when she was cooking.I learned through her that cook-ing can soothe the nerves andhelp you to cope.”
A former editor for BusinessWeek, Fromm also holds an MFAin fiction writing from ColumbiaUniversity. She is a winner of theClarion Award and the Newspa-per Guild’s Page One Award forlabor reporting. The mother oftwo has also taught writingthrough New York Writer’s Work-shop, and at both Montclair StateUniversity and Columbia Univer-sity.
“I wanted to write a book forsome time, but my kids were still
young and I was busy teaching,”she said. “And, after my fatherpassed away, I was trying to makesense of his life.”
Reaching out to her father’s rel-atives for support, she stumbledupon a cousin who had a verymoving story, one Fromm wascertain needed a voice.
“The adoption of her baby hadbeen reversed, and she and herhusband had fled with the babyand became fugitives for morethan 20 years. So, I decided towrite a book about her and my fa-ther, with stories of my childhoodand my adult life woven in,”Fromm said.
While composing her ideas for“Sweet Survival,” Fromm was re-spectively writing about food andkin for the Huffington Post andPatch. And while Fromm candid-ly writes of her tales in thekitchen, she also continues to livethem.
Now, due to her family’s con-flicting schedules, “Sunday is theonly night we all sit down togeth-er as a family, but at least we do itonce a week,” she said.
A mixture of both Fromm’sfriends’ and family members’recipes, each formula is thor-oughly explained and, more im-
portantly, accessible for the read-er – even for the reluctant cooksout there.
“Sweet Survival” is available atWords Bookstore, WatchungBooksellers, Parnassus Books,Amazon and BN.com.
