Police:
Man
abused

By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
A 31-year-old man living in
Princeton has been charged with
committing animal cruelty
against two dogs, according to po-
lice.
The charges are the most re-
cent in a growing list of allega-
tions, which already include ac-
cusations of killing one dog and
abusing another.
Princeton Animal Control Offi-
cer Mark Johnson brought five
charges of animal cruelty against
Michael G. Rosenberg after a past
acquaintance of Rosenbergs re-
ported seeing him abuse two dogs
between February and August of
last year.
According to Johnson, the wit-
ness claimed he saw Rosenberg
throw the pets across a room, and
repeatedly throw one dog onto its
back on a concrete floor.

Princeton officials are review-
ing the personnel policy manuals
of both the former borough and
township, including a policy re-
garding nepotism.
According to Princeton Mayor
Liz Lempert, reviewing the man-
uals is a priority.
The personnel committee is
meeting with Township Adminis-
trator Bob Bruschi, and one of
our priority tasks is the person-
nel policy manual, she said.
The nepotism policy will be a
part of that, but we have a larger
and more comprehensive task in
front of us, which is to harmonize
the two policy manuals into one,
so that we can have a single policy
that were operating under.
The personnel committee is
made up of Lempert, Councilman
Lance Liverman and Council-
woman Jo S. Butler.
There are definitely differ-
ences between the two policies,
Lempert said. The township
manual has a written policy on
nepotism, so were making some
adjustments to that to clarify
things.
The review of the nepotism
policy is an effort to avoid a situa-
tion where an official is signing
off on hiring a relative. Such a sit-
uation arose in December of last
year when then-acting-Township

Chad Goerner, former mayor of
Princeton Township, has been
named to the Board of Directors
of an organization that supports
consolidation efforts statewide.
Courage to Connect NJ is a
nonprofit 501c3 organization that
provides guidance to residents
and members of local govern-
ment who want to begin consider-
ing consolidation in their munici-
palities.
The idea for Courage to Con-
nect began to form when I was a
local official in a small town,
said Executive Director Gina
Genovese. I looked at different
options to be stronger and more
sustainable, and I found that
while shared services is a great
supplement, its not a solution to
the problem of property taxes in
New Jersey.
Genovese said she started to
look into consolidation, and
found that no one had reached out
to the public to educate residents
on the issue.
A 2007 law was passed in New
Jersey that gives people the right
to form a consolidation study
commission, she said. Courage
to Connect NJ launched in 2010 to
educate the public about consoli-
dation and help local residents
who want to start a petition to
form a commission.
According to the organizations
brochure, Courage to Connect NJ
advocates connecting between
five and ten municipalities under
one administration, creating
more efficient towns of 30,000 to
100,000 residents while preserv-
ing the individuality and charac-
ter of the existing communities.
Genovese said the organization
is currently serving as a resource
for several municipalities inter-
ested in consolidation. She said
these municipalities see Prince-
ton as a success story.
Princeton has once again
made history, and is continuing to
make it in New Jersey, she said.
No one can say consolidation
hasnt happened in New Jersey,
and Princetons success helps to
allay some fears. They were very
open about the process. People
are afraid of the unknown, and
now its not unknown.
Genovese said she met Goerner
through attending meetings of
the consolidation committee
throughout the process.
A passion for this issue
brought us together, she said.
And were starting to collect a lot
of knowledge and experience.
Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert
said she thinks Goerners experi-
ence will help other municipali-
ties to follow Princetons exam-
ple.
Chad will be a phenomenal re-

O
ral arguments in a lawsuit
brought by professional sports
teams and the NCAA against
Gov. Christie are scheduled to begin
this week. Recently, the leagues got a
boost. The U.S. Department of Justice
is jumping into the lawsuit on their
side.
Yep, your tax dollars are being used
against you.
Lets check the starting lineups.
On one side, you have unbelievably
wealthy sports leagues, the DOJ, illegal
bookies and point-shaving players. OK,
technically the last two arent part of
the lawsuit, but, if the leagues and
DOJ win, they win, too.
On the other side, you have Gov.
Christie, people who want to be able to
bet legally on sports in New Jersey, the
states casinos and horse racing tracks
and, well, everyone who would benefit
from a huge bump to our economy.
Which side are you on?
The suggestion that legalizing sports
betting in New Jersey would lead to an
increase in corruption, law-breaking,
pestilence, whatever, defies logic and
fact. Billions of dollars already are
being bet illegally on games. Players
and officials already have been caught
cheating to win bets.
In fact, the opposite is true. Making
sports betting legal would mean more
oversight of the system by people
both government and those folks actu-
ally taking the bets who want, to coin
a phrase, a level playing field.
It also would be a boost to the casi-
nos, tracks and the economy because
at least some of the money currently
being bet illegally would begin to flow
into legal betting outlets. Anyone seen
recent casino revenue reports? They
need help.
The feds, to coin another phrase, are
backing the wrong horse. New Jersey
needs legal sports betting. Its too bad
the DOJ doesnt see things that way.
in our opinion
Your tax dollars at work
Justice Department joins the ranks of leagues against sports betting in state
Sports betting
That the federal government has
entered a lawsuit to stop New Jerseys
efforts to legalize sports betting is a
slap in the face of every taxpayer here.
Sports betting would be an economic
boost, and in no way would endanger
the integrity of the games.

The Princeton Laptop Orchestras Side-
band ensemble will bring a creative inter-
section of music composition, perform-
ance, technology, acoustics and space to the
West Windsor Arts Center on Saturday
evening, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m.
Sideband, whose parent ensemble, the
Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), was
formed in 2005, uses specially designed
hemispherical speakers and a fleet of lap-
tops, turning each member of its ensemble
into an island of sound. Ranging from
solos and duos to sextets and beyond, Side-
band is an evolving project that inspires
composers, performers and audience mem-
bers to re-evaluate the role of computers in
music.
Formed in 2008 to premiere a piece with
the American Composers Orchestra at
Carnegie Hall, Sideband is currently made
up of a group of long-term members
whose skills range from orchestral percus-
sion to installation art, research in ma-
chine-learning algorithms, traditional
Norwegian folk music, solo performance,
electro-acoustic music, software design,
and scored composition.Visit www.side-
bandband.com.
The Princeton Laptop Orchestra
(PLOrk), was formed in 2005 by Dan True-
man (composer, Norwegian fiddler, and
computer music hacker) and Perry Cook
(computer scientist, electrical engineer,
and music hacker) to be a test-lab for a new
way of thinking about electronic and en-
semble music. PLOrk has performed wide-
ly in Princeton, New York, Chicago, and
Washington D.C.), has won a MacArthur
Foundation grant, and has worked in col-
laboration with Zakir Hussain, the Ameri-
can Composers Orchestra, Matmos & So
Percussion, and others. Visit
http://plork.cs.princeton.edu/.
Tickets are $20 for the public and $18 for
members; $15 for groups of five and more,
seniors and students. Available online: at
www.westwindsorarts.org, or by calling:
(609) 716-1931. Box office hours are Tues-
day through Friday, 12 to 6 p.m.; Saturday,

Administrator Kathy Monzo
signed off on hiring her daughter
as a secretary in the Municipal
Building Department.
Jacqueline Monzo was hired
full-time by the department, with
a starting salary of $38,471.
Lempert said that though
Monzo did ultimately approve the
hiring, it was one of her regular
job responsibilities, and she sim-
ply followed procedure.
She was ultimately the one
who signed off, Lempert said.
But the hiring was done by the
department head.
Monzo was the highest-rank-
ing civilian employee of the town-
ship at the time, and Jacqueline
was working part-time, and was
moved to fill a vacant position
within the same department.
Lempert said the review of the
personnel policy manuals is a pri-
ority for the committee as it af-
fects the daily operations of
Princetons government.
Its something that has to do
with day-to-day operations with
the staff, Lempert said. And
having one clear policy manual to
work from will certainly mini-
mize confusion.
Neither Bruschi nor Monzo
could not be reached for comment
on the matter.

I brought five charges of ani-
mal cruelty against him, John-
son said. All of the charges
against him are still pending
now.
Rosenberg, who describes him-
self as a dog trainer, is accused of
killing a female shepherd mix in
August, after the dogs owner left
the animal with Rosenberg for
training.
He was charged with six
counts of animal cruelty in the
incident, which occurred on Au-
gust 26, 2012.
According to a report filed
through the animal control offi-
cer, Mercer County resident
Tracy Stanton left her dog, named
Shyanne, in Rosenbergs care
on the recommendation of a
friend. Two days later, Rosenberg
contacted Stanton to inform her
Shyanne needed to see a veteri-
narian for what he thought were
heartworms.
By the time Stantons
boyfriend arrived at Rosenbergs
residence minutes later, Shyanne
was unresponsive.
A necropsy performed on the
dog showed that Shyanne died of
blunt force trauma that resulted
in a punctured lung and four bro-
ken ribs.
Rosenberg also faces one
charge of animal cruelty brought
against him by the county in a
case where he was accused of
dragging a dog across a floor.
Last month, additional charges
were filed against Rosenberg
when a Montgomery woman
came forward and accused him of
abusing her bull terrier in her
home.
Johnson said the dog owner re-
ported meeting Rosenberg at a
gym last spring and hiring him to
train her dog.
The woman said Rosenberg
picked up the 60-pound bull terri-
er by the neck and threw him to
the ground.
The woman said she paid
Rosenberg and asked him to
leave. Johnson said the Somerset
County SPCA would likely han-
dle the case.
Rosenberg pled guilty in July
2011 to a third-degree charge of
endangering the welfare of a
child. According to the discovery
presented in the case, Rosenberg
had a 20-month sexual relation-
ship with a 14-year-old girl, begin-
ning in September 2010. Rosen-
berg received a suspended four-
year sentence.
Johnson said the most recent
charges brought against Rosen-
berg include three disorderly per-
son charges, which could each
carry a $1,000 fine and six months
in jail, and two civil charges.
New Jersey Department of
Corrections records show that
Rosenberg is currently being held
at a detention center for sex of-
fenders due to an unspecified pro-
bation violation. He is set to be re-
leased at the end of February.
Johnson said the charges
against Rosenberg are all now the
responsibility of the county pros-
ecutor.
Theyre probably going to
make out a deal, Johnson said.
All I can say is that they dont
think its going to go to trial, but if
it does, hell probably be tried for
each charge individually, but at
the same time.
Casey DiBlasio, a public infor-
mation officer with the Mercer
County Prosecutors office, said
the case would be heard by a
grand jury.
The investigation is with our
office, she said. The case will be
presented to a Mercer County
grand jury within the next
month. The grand jury will issue
a formal charging document.
They decide whether the case
moves forward to the trial stage.
Johnson said that if there are
any other residents who have
complaints about Rosenbergs
treatment of an animal, they
should come forward and report
it to the office of Animal Control.

source for any community con-
sidering this, Lempert said. He
was unquestionably the driving
force behind the effort in Prince-
ton. He knows all the ins and
outs.
Lempert said she is thrilled by
the comments shes gotten from
residents since consolidation.
Consolidation is something
people have been talking about
across the state for decades, she
said. I think a lot of people had
given up hope that it would hap-
pen. But now people can see were
saving money, and were starting
to see enhanced services. People
have said theyve never seen the
streets cleaner. Theres a marked
increase in police presence. The
second we consolidated there was
an instant feeling that were all on
the same team, and we all want to
make it work.
Genovese said she hopes the
board of Courage to Connect NJ
can continue working with both
residents and local officials who
are considering consolidation.
She urged groups or individuals
in the state to contact her by
emailing gina@couragetocon-
nectnj.org.
We can just start the conversa-
tion, she said. State and local
leaders have to look at the options
before them. The status quo is not
working, and what Princeton has
done is a bold, courageous step.
And now we have to ask, are we
going to heed the success and
learn and grow from it, or just let
it die on the vine?

Economic development in Mer-
cer County, maximizing the im-
pact of upcoming sporting events
and learning the secrets to doing
business with large companies
will be the focus of the 8th Annu-
al Mercer County Economic Sum-
mit on Thursday, Feb. 28 at the
Conference Center at Mercer
County Community College.
The Summit will feature Mer-
cer County Executive Brian M.
Hughes delivering his Mercer
County Economic Development
Report to kick off the summit.
The keynote address will be deliv-
ered by Bernie Flynn, president
and CEO of New Jersey Manufac-
turers, Chairman of Choose New
Jersey and a leading advocate for
doing business in Mercer County.
Both addresses will focus on busi-
ness development in Mercer
County and how this positions
the region for growth in the com-
ing year.
As we celebrate the 175th year
of the founding of Mercer County
and look back on our historic con-
tributions to this nation our bat-
tles and triumphs I am encour-
aged by the signs of progress here
as we continue to march through
this difficult economy, said
Hughes. I look forward to shar-
ing at the 2013 Mercer County
Economic Summit my Economic
Development Report and the
many reasons we have to be opti-
mistic about our future.
Mercer County is bringing in
new business. Its brought Sparta
Systems into Robbinsville in the
third quarter of 2012, Amazon
has announced plans to locate in
Robbinsville in 2014 and Shiseido
is expanding in East Windsor,
said Peter Crowley, president and
CEO of the Princeton Regional
Chamber of Commerce. Fron-
tier Airlines has already estab-
lished themselves as a regional
airline and is expanding its offer-
ings at the Trenton Mercer Air-
port, making travel to and from
the Princeton-Mercer Region eas-
ier and more convenient.
Retail and hospitality sectors
are also seeing growth in the re-
gion, with the Quakerbridge and
MarketFair Malls both adding
new stores, and new restaurants
and hotels opening throughout
the area.
In his keynote, Flynn will em-
phasize the role that local employ-
ers play in building a vibrant
economy, providing jobs across a
spectrum of skill sets, and re-
bounding from devastating
events such as Tropical Storm
Irene and Superstorm Sandy.
"NJM is celebrating its 100th
anniversary this year, and our
Company's history demonstrates
that a resilient economy is built
primarily on businesses with
strong local roots, large and
small. Reputations are earned at
the local level, and businesses
often perform better when they
focus on the needs of local con-
sumers. That has been the experi-
ence of NJM, which writes more
than 97 percent of its insurance
business in New Jersey," Flynn
said.
The West Trenton-based New
Jersey Manufacturers Insurance
Company is the largest provider
of workers' compensation in New
Jersey, the state's largest auto in-
surer, and the fourth-largest in
homeowners coverage.
Herb Taylor, vice president and
corporate secretary of the Feder-
al Reserve Bank in Philadelphia
will be returning to give national
and local economic updates. He
will provide a macro to micro
view of the economy and the on-
going recovery.
Events of the past several
years have hit the economy hard.
But we are regaining our balance
and we are ready to move ahead
with greater confidence, said
Taylor. At the conference, well
talk about taking those next steps
forward in 2013 and choosing a
path to success in the years be-
yond.
Taylor started as an economist
at the Philadelphia Federal Re-
serve in 1981.
After the addresses, discus-
sions will focus on major sporting
events coming to the Garden
State in the next 18 months, in-
cluding the 2014 Superbowl and
the Special Olympics.
Wayne Hasenbalg, CEO of the
New Jersey Sports and Exposi-
tion Authority, plus invited repre-
sentatives from the games, will
talk about how the Princeton re-
gion can position itself to attract
game-related revenues and what
can make this area more attrac-
tive than other nearby areas
vying for the same pieces of busi-
ness.
Purchasing agents from
Princeton University, Education-
al Testing Service, Janssen Phar-
maceuticals plus other large com-
panies will discuss how local
businesses can partner with large
companies on business opportu-
nities.
The Economic Summit will
take place from 1 to 6 p.m. on Feb.
28 at the Conference Center at
Mercer County Community Col-
lege. Tickets and sponsorship
packages are available. For more

Durst, director of events at (609)
