Residents flock to Night Out event
By JULIE STIPE
The Princeton Sun
On Tuesday, Aug. 7, around
1,300 people flooded to the Prince-
ton Community Park for games,
rock climbing, free hot dogs,
Zumba, and free access to the
park’s new pool and water-slides.
The event was Princeton Com-
munity Night Out, part of Na-
tional Night Out, a nationwide
drug and crime prevention event
that aims to strengthen commu-
nity ties and the community’s re-
lationship with police.
Princeton’s version of the
event has been held since 2006, ac-
cording to Princeton Township
Sgt. Fred Williams. Williams said
the event began as a way to get
members of the community to-
gether with each other and with
police.
Williams, a transplant to the
police department from New Jer-
sey Transit in Newark, said he
noticed upon moving to Prince-
ton that when he responded to a
call and needed to ask a resident
about the family next door, they
usually replied that they didn’t
know their neighbors well.
Williams felt this was unfortu-
nate in a community like Prince-
ton, and, after doing some re-
search on community events, the
police department discovered Na-
tional Night Out.

The Princeton Sun
To create the report presented
at the “Healthy Futures Town
Hall” held in Princeton recently,
the Greater Mercer Public Health
Partnership collected data from
more than 400 Mercer County res-
idents.
The presentation summarized
the results of months of focus
groups and interviews held as
part of a Mercer County health
needs assessment – a collabora-
tion of 14 organizations, includ-
ing the United Way of Greater
Mercer County (UWGMC), the
Mercer County health depart-
ment, eight local health depart-
ments, Capital Health Medical
Center-Hopewell, the St.
Lawrence Rehabilitation Center,
the Robert Wood Johnson Univer-
sity Hospital Hamilton and
Princeton HealthCare System.
The assessment collected data
on health issues in Mercer Coun-
ty as well as other issues that re-
late to overall wellbeing. As Unit-
ed Way of Greater Mercer’s Proj-
ect Manager Antonia Lewis told
residents at the town hall, the
project defined health in its
broadest terms.
“In a healthy community,
everyone is getting what they
need to flourish,” Lewis said.
The project identified a num-
ber of major issues Mercer Coun-
ty residents are dealing with.
One, unsurprisingly, is high un-
employment. Health Resources in
Action’s Director of Research and
Evaluation Lisa Wolfe reported
that residents at all income levels
are dealing the loss of jobs, which
is made even more difficult in an
area with a high cost of living.
In fact, Wolfe said, the high cost
of living in the area was a topic
that came up many times in dis-

cussions. Regardless of income
level, residents had concerns
about affordability of housing,
healthy foods, health insurance
and other items. High costs espe-
cially affect vulnerable groups
such as those with low income,
the elderly, and immigrants, the
project found.
Another concern of residents,
Wolfe said, is substance abuse,
particularly the use of alcohol,
marijuana and prescription
drugs by adolescents. Wolfe said
that in discussions, many resi-
dents suggested that contributing
factors are the lack of alternative
activities for youth and the myth
that such substances are not actu-
ally very dangerous. Interviews
and discussions also revealed,
Wolfe said, that substance abuse
and mental health issues are
closely linked, which makes treat-
ment more difficult.
Obesity and chronic disease
are also an issue, Wolfe said.
Twenty-five percent of adults in
Mercer County are obese – a rate
which is slightly higher than that
of the state, but lower than the
national rate. Wolfe said residents
interviewed mentioned the costs
of recreational activity as well as
difficulty finding time to be active
as factors.
The higher cost of eating
healthy food came up as a difficul-
ty for those looking to reach a
healthier weight, Wolfe said, as
did the frustrations with limited
walkability in many areas due to
traffic and lack of sidewalks.
Residents also stressed the
paucity of public transportation
in the county, which has impacts
on stress levels and quality of liv-
ing, especially for two vulnerable
population groups – the elderly
and those with low income levels.
This concern, Wolfe said, is also
tied into the issues of obesity and
healthy living.
Wolfe said the project did find
that Mercer residents are over-
whelmingly proud of the quality
and quantity of health services
available in the county.
“That was a sentence we heard
over and over again,” Wolfe said.
Mercer County is home to seven
excellent hospitals and 16 long-
term care facilities as well as eight
health departments. However,
Wolfe said many residents inter-
viewed had concerns about navi-
gating the health-care system.
Particularly, residents had con-
cerns about health insurance.
About 15 percent of all adults in
Mercer County are uninsured,
Wolfe said, and the majority of
those uninsured cannot afford to
get medical care because of the
cost.
“That was an issue we heard

It's taken a long time for you to ac-
cumulate your retirement assets. But
the need for long term care could
have a significant impact on them.
Perhaps you could easily afford 24
hour care in your home at $73,000 a
year.
But the question is: Do you want
to? What happens if you buy a long
term care policy and never need care?
Or would you rather enjoy those
assets yourself--or leave them to your
children or favorite charity?
I may be able to help you protect
your assets from long term care
costs.
I can suggest some innovative ways
to help protect your retirement assets,
and your retirement income, from the
costs of long term care.

W
hen Gov. Christie last week
signed a bill that overhauled
teacher tenure in the state,
it was a landmark moment. But it’s not
the final piece of the puzzle. Not even
close.
The measure, which was supported
by both parties, strives to make teach-
ers more accountable through evalua-
tions and reviews. If they get bad re-
views, they could be removed from the
classroom. The bill also added a year
before tenure is granted.
We’re all for rewarding the best
teachers and getting the bad ones out
of the classroom. In theory, this move
is a step toward that.
But questions remain.
What will the final version of the
teacher evaluation system look like? In
other words, can the state implement a
system that effectively identifies teach-
ers who need to be rewarded and those
who need to go? Will local districts
have to hire more managers or super-
visors? Will that lead to tax hikes?
Student achievement is another ele-
ment of the bill, and another area in
which teachers are to be measured.
Does that mean standardized test re-
sults will be used? What about those
teachers who teach grades that don’t
have standardized testing? Is it smart
to “teach to the test”? Since a child’s
educational foundation begins early, is
it fair to hold a teacher accountable for
educational shortcomings that should
have been addressed years earlier?
Also, the measure is silent on the
last in, first out system when it comes
to layoffs.
Make no mistake – significant ad-
vances were made in this bill. The
state is heading in the right direction
and should be congratulated for taking
initial steps to improve public educa-
tion.
But we shouldn’t expect changes to
happen overnight. And we shouldn’t
expect a perfect system right out of the
starting gate.
There are too many questions still to
be answered.
in our opinion
Tenure measure a first step
The ultimate goal is to ensure students receive the best education possible
Teacher tenure revised
Last week’s measure is no doubt a step
in the right direction and a landmark
moment for education in New Jersey.
But a lot of questions still have to be
answered before anyone can pro-
nounce this move a success.
many times throughout the focus groups
and interviews,” Wolfe said.
Other difficulties to accessing health
care are language barriers, the project
found, as well as the complexity of the sys-
tem, and time constraints, such as lack of
sick time and limited hours of facilities.
Health Resources in Action’s Director of
Strategic Planning Rose Swensen noted
that discussions with residents revealed a
desire for prevention of health problems.
Residents criticized the health-care system
for its focus on disease management rather
than prevention.
The next step, Swensen told attendees at
the meeting, is to identify priorities for the
county and to develop an action plan that
defines goals and develops strategies for
reaching those goals that involve the entire
community.
To provide a variety of different per-
spectives on the report, a panel of profes-
sionals – all of whom either live or work in
Mercer County – was asked to consider
how the study’s findings reflected or im-
pacted the work in their sector.
One of these was Princeton Community
Housing Director Sandra Persichetti.
Princeton Community Housing is a non-
profit created to provide housing for low-
and moderate-income families and individ-
uals, and houses almost 1,000 people in the
Princeton area, Persichetti said.
Persichetti said her organization is
aware of the challenges that many groups
face, especially the low-income and elderly,
and works to connect those in community
housing with locally available programs.
“Princeton hospital provides many
workshops and seminars for us, so the sen-
iors and also our family units can take ad-
vantage of the medical services that are
close by,” Persichetti said. “We of course
participate in a lot of the food programs –
Mercer Street Friends, the food coupons
for farmers’ markets – the farmers’ market
truck comes to the site so people can buy
right there.”
Although Princeton Community Hous-
ing is strictly a housing organization with
limited resources, Persichetti said, they
aim to make it easy for residents to take ad-
vantage of programs like the YMCA’s af-
terschool program.
“We make an effort to connect with all
the excellent organizations that are in
town, and I think that by involving and en-
gaging our residents in these programs it
helps keep them healthy,” Persichetti said.
“My reflection on this report is that the
needs are great in our county, and I think
the resources are pretty significant as well,
so I think it’s really a matter of connecting
the dots.”

sessment, visit www.uwgmc.org/cha.

Since popping up around the
country in the early ‘90s, pole
dancing has become a main-
stream form of empowerment,
strength, and exercise in dance
studios and health clubs across
the country.
“We are pleased to host the first
New Jersey Pole Dancing Exhibi-
tion on Aug. 19, and hope the com-
munity comes out to learn how
pole dancing can offer women a
new venue for strength, confi-
dence, and empowerment,” says

p.m.
This exhibition will showcase

ly 15 to 20 pole dancers (students
and instructors) from throughout
New Jersey performing. The per-
formers include both male and fe-
male dancers ranging in age from
their 20's to 50's. Colosimo adds,
“If you have ever been curious
about pole dancing, this is an op-
portunity to experience it first-
hand and to become familiar with
what New Jersey studios have to
offer and to ask questions.”
Beginning Pole Dancing Class-
es will be held on Saturday, Aug.
25, from 2 to 6 p.m. It is about hav-
ing fun, learning something new,
and feeling great about oneself
through a new dance style. All are

been taking off in dance studios
and gyms across the country for
those young and old, from vari-
ous backgrounds, from different
careers, and all fitness levels and

AUGUST 15-21, 2012 – THE PRINCETON SUN 9
Since its inaugural year the
event has become less focused on
traditional National Night Out
themes such as crime and drug
prevention and more focused on
getting residents and police to-
gether in a casual, fun environ-
ment. People often have negative
interactions with police, Williams
said, and Princeton Community
Night Out is one way for police to
get to know the community in a
positive way.
“It’s a bridge-building
process,” Williams said.
The event drew about 250 peo-
ple its first year, Williams said,
but since then its popularity has
shot up.
“It’s gone up exponentially
from there,” said Williams.
The event hit an attendance
high last year, when it drew about
1,500 people, probably because the
event was held later last year,
when fewer residents were on va-
cation, Williams said.
The event has always had rep-
resentation from community
groups such as Corner House and
HiTops, and in the past couple of
years has also added booths for
local businesses such as PNC
Bank and the Bank of Princeton.
The tradition of free hot dogs,
a rock climbing wall, and inflata-
bles continued this year. Music
was provided by DJ Darius
Young, who also DJed last year to
rave reviews, Williams said.
Although free access to the
community park pool is also a
Princeton Community Night Out
tradition, this year the recent up-
grades and expansions to the pool
accommodated more people and
helped the event overall, Williams
said.
“It allowed everything to be
more spread out,” Williams said.
“People were not on top of each
other. It was a better use of
space.”
Also new this year, and hugely
successful, was Zumba, the hy-
brid dance and exercise routine.
Princeton Fitness and Wellness
Zumba teacher Donna Friel led
an enthusiastic group by the pool
in aerobic, salsa-like moves to
Latin music.
Princeton Township Adminis-
trative Secretary Vikki Caines is
the woman behind the idea to
bring Zumba to Community
Night Out.
“I usually take the class, and I
thought, yeah, this would be a
great event,” Caines said.
And with the new and im-
proved pools, Caines thought
there should be a new activity as
well.
“I wanted to have something
new to add,” Caines said.
The activity was enthusiasti-
cally received, Caines said, and it
will likely become a regular event
at the night out.
Although Princeton’s Commu-
nity Night Out is largely run by
police officers, Caines is quick to
point out that the Princeton
Recreation Department, and espe-
cially maintenance foreman Joe
Scullion, are also crucial to the
event.
In previous years only town-
ship police officers have been in-
volved, Williams said, but this
year, because of the impending
consolidation of the municipali-
ties, both departments participat-
ed.
“I’m looking forward to it con-
tinuing once the police depart-
ments are consolidated,”
Williams said. “For me it’s one of
the best things I do as a police offi-
cer.”
