Teen council helps out at annual forum
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Princeton area high school sen-
iors who make up the HiTOPS
Teen Council helped to plan the
annual New Jersey Gay Straight
Alliance Forum, held at West
Windsor-Plainsboro High School
South on Nov. 17.
The all-day event was organ-
ized by the WW-P South Gay
Straight Alliance, (GSA,) and Hi-
TOPS, a Princeton-based organi-
zation that promotes adolescent
health and wellness.
The forum began with an ad-
dress from keynote speaker Ellen
Sudow, a board member of the
Southern Poverty Law Center, a
nonprofit civil rights organiza-
tion.
Corinne OHara, a HiTOPS Co-
ordinator and Health Educator,
said the students were instru-
mental in the planning process
for this years forum.
The Teen Council is a group of
20 seniors from a wide range of
Mercer County High Schools.
They apply to become members
of the council, and if selected, re-
ceive more than 150 hours of
training in human sexuality, pres-
entation skills, group facilitation,
communication and negotiation
skills, and interactive educational
techniques. The councilmembers
strive, according to their mission
statement, to become effective

Princeton Township Council
passed a resolution Nov. 19 chang-
ing a zoning law to allow the
Princeton First Aid and Rescue
Squad to construct a new facility
in a residential area.
The squad spent years search-
ing for a plot of land in the town-
ship suitable for the new facility.
Peter Simon, president of the
First Aid and Rescue Squad,
spoke to Council and answered
questions about the facility from
the public.
We provide an essential serv-
ice to the community, Simon
said. And for a long time weve
been doing it under bad condi-
tions.
The current facility, on North
Harrison Street, will be torn
down. The squad has obtained the
adjacent properties of 8 and 14
Clearview Avenue. The new facil-
ity will take up all three plots of
land, and will be approximately
20,000 square feet.
Right now our building is
4,600 square feet, Simon said.
We have four parking spots and
nine vehicles. The new building
will accommodate all the vehicles
in addition to training space and
space for administrative sup-
port.
Councilwoman Sue Nemeth
said she had toured the current
facility.
I was shocked by the condi-
tions, she said. And I think the
community would be too. This is
overdue.
Simon said the squad has
begun working with architects to
form initial design concepts for
the new facility. He said the squad
recognized the importance of
choosing a design that is appeal-
ing to the community.
Were very cognizant that we
are part of a neighborhood, he
said. Were trying to be a good
neighbor, and make sure we dont
become a burden.
Council also passed a resolu-
tion that will allow the planning
board to hire a licensed state re-
mediation professional to review
environmental studies provided
by Avalon Bay, the company plan-
ning to redevelop the medical cen-

Meredith Gal, wife of Army
Captain Lyle Gal, spoke to Hun
School students on Friday, Nov. 9,
about her husband and his serv-
ice to the United States. Captain
Gal is currently stationed at a
Forward Operations Base in
Pasab, Afghanistan with Infantry
Battalion 1-17, while Mrs. Gal
lives in Hopewell. In their three-
year marriage, the Gals have only
lived together for six months.
Captain Lyle Gal graduated
from West Point Academy in 2008,
and immediately began a five-
year commitment to the United
States Army.
Lyle and I have been married
for three years, of which we have
spent more time apart, than to-
gether. This is common for mili-
tary families, explained Mrs.
Gal.
In their first year of marriage,

I
ts no secret New Jersey leaders
want sports betting legalized in the
state. In fact, plans are that it will
start on Jan. 9 depending on the sta-
tus of a lawsuit brought by Major
League Baseball, the National Football
League, the National Basketball Asso-
ciation, the National Hockey League
(like that really matters right now) and
the NCAA.
The leagues and associations some-
how are able to say with a straight face
that legalized sports betting in the
state would hurt the integrity of their
games. These are the same leagues, of
course, that have no problem playing
games in other countries where bet-
ting is legal. Some of you might re-
member the Rams and Patriots game
last month in England, for example.
The facts are well known:
* A 20-year-old federal law limits
sports betting legal to Nevada,
Delaware, Oregon and Montana.
* Hundreds of billions of dollars are
being bet on sports illegally these days.
* The leagues and associations arent
exactly hurting for money.
* New Jerseys casino and horse rac-
ing industries are struggling. They
were struggling before Hurricane
Sandy. After the Hurricane? Well, has
anyone representing the leagues and
associations seen the photos coming
from Atlantic City?
* Legalized sports betting would be a
boon to the casinos and tracks. It
would mean monster weekends in AC
when major sporting events are taking
place. Some of the money now being
spent with offshore gambling outfits or
through illegal means right here in the
states would flow, legally, into the
states economy.
Frankly, the sports leagues and asso-
ciations should be embarrassed. Their
preference to keep sports betting dol-
lars flowing to illegal enterprises than
local economies is shameful. They
should do the right thing and welcome
sports betting to New Jersey next
month.
in our opinion
Betting deadline looms
Sports leagues should welcome New Jersey to betting ranks on Jan. 9
Let the betting begin
New Jersey plans to allow sports bet-
ting Jan. 9. Sports leagues oppose the
move. Their opposition, especially in
the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, is
simply shameful.
Continuing our 27-year tradition, the
India Foundation of Metropolitan Prince-
ton (IFMP) will be hosting the cultural

ness local youngsters and adults perform

p.m. and dinner will be served at 6 p.m.
IFMP encourages and promotes all local
talent, particularly for our younger audi-
ence to learn about their history and an op-
portunity to perform on stage. If you plan
to choreograph and/or have children who
are interested in participating and need a

ASAP. Some of our choreographers are
looking for new talent, especially adult par-
ticipants. The deadline to sign-up for the

nj.org. Minimum age for MC is 16 years,

Councilman Bernie Miller said
it was necessary to hire a third
party to review the documents.
Theres been considerable
concern from the board, he said.
It is important to proceed and
get an assessment not from an
agent of either party.
According to the resolution,
the consultant will be hired with
an agreement that will not exceed
$2,990. It was unclear whether the
fee would be paid by Mercer
County or by Princeton Town-
ship.
This is an important develop-
ment, Princeton Mayor-Elect Liz
Lempert said. We want to make
sure were doing our due dili-
gence.
Lempert also took time at the
meeting to thank a number of
volunteers and various officials
and organizations for their work
in the township during and after
Hurricane Sandy.
Everyone in this community
pitched in, she said. It was a
great effort.

Korea, and Mrs. Gal was not per-
mitted to accompany him. Upon
his return from that deployment,
he was moved to Fort Lewis in
Washington. Mrs. Gal left her life
on the east coast to move to the
Pacific Northwest. There, the
Gals lived together in one-month
intervals, while Captain Gal was
called to various training mis-
sions to prepare for his next de-
ployment in Afghanistan.
Mrs. Gal has twice moved
across the nation, celebrated
birthdays, holidays, and anniver-
saries alone, and continues to
manage the emotional roller-
coaster of being married to an ac-
tive serviceman. Her largest
struggle though, comes from
knowing how to support her hus-
band from so far away.
The truth is that he doesnt
need anything. He just needs to
be thought of. He doesnt care
what he gets in the mail, but he
wants to get mail, Mrs. Gal said.
I make an effort to hunt down
the silliest cards, so that I know
he has a laugh the day they ar-
rive.
Mrs. Gal ended her speech with
words sent to her by her husband.
He wrote, War should not be an
out of sight out of mind con-
cept. While it is not necessary for
everyone to serve in this way, I
ask that you try to see the world
from as many perspectives as pos-
sible, and do something for anoth-
er with no benefit to yourself.
To honor service men and
women, Hun School students
wrote letters of support, encour-
agement, and thanks. They were
collected following Mrs. Gals
speech and will be shipped over-
seas next week.

peer sexual health educators in
their school and community.
The theme of the 2012 Forum,
now in its ninth year, was Privi-
lege and Oppression.
Educators, organization lead-
ers, experts and students present-
ed 19 workshops in three sessions.
Workshops centered on educat-
ing parents, gay students and al-
lies on acceptance of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and
Questioning community.
In the final workshop session,
the HiTOPS Teen Council pre-
sented a signature workshop ti-
tled Bridges of Respect. The
council is a group of 20 area high
school seniors who are trained in
leadership skills and sexuality is-
sues.
The workshop opened with
skits that highlighted stereotypes,
slurs and common misconcep-
tions. The council then split the
audience into small discussion
groups.
The purpose of the Bridges of
Respect workshop was to ex-
plore homosexuality and homo-
phobia in order to promote under-
standing while appreciating dif-
ferences.
The HiTOPS Teen Council
worked alongside the WW-P
South GSA to plan the forum and
reach out to organizations, advo-
cates and local businesses. The
planning process began in June
of this year.
West Windsor-Plainsboro
South has a really strong GSA,
OHara said. They have students
who attend a program at HiTOPS
called First and Third. Its an
LGBTQ educational and support
program. The students come and
they bring allies, so weve always
had a good working relationship.
They volunteered to host it at the
school and we agreed almost im-
mediately.
Through the forum were re-
ally trying to implement commu-
nity outreach, said Gujri Singh,
Vice President of the WW-P
South GSA. Our ultimate goal is
to make sure every student has a
place to feel safe.
OHara praised the response of
the WW-P South administration
to the Forum.
The principal was really sup-
portive, and that sends a really
positive message about a commu-
nity of respect, she said. The
school responded in such a posi-
tive way and the students were re-
ally excited about it. It just cre-
ates good relationships within the
school and the community.
Singh was pleased with the
number of attendees at the
Forum, and said she enjoyed
being a part of the planning com-
mittee.
Bringing the forum here al-
lowed our whole group to come
together, she said. We also got
to work with other GSAs from dif-
ferent schools. Its just a thing
that really brings people together,
especially in such a student-cen-
tered town.
OHara said she was thrilled to
see so many students who arent
involved in the WW-P GSA and
students from other high schools.
We want kids to see there are
roles to take, she said. You can
be a leader, an advocate, a role
model. It sends a message to kids
that they can do this too. They
can step up.

THEME
Continued from page 1
Theme of 2012 forum was Privilege and Oppression
According to a press release
from Princeton University, a $10
million gift from two Princeton
alumni will establish the
Sharmin and Bijan Mossavar-
Rahmani Center for Iran and Per-
sian Gulf Studies at the Universi-
ty.
Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, a
member of the Class of 1980, and
Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, a mem-
ber of the Class of 1974, have cre-
ated the center to provide a com-
prehensive interdisciplinary ap-
proach to understanding Iran and
the Persian Gulf, with special at-
tention to the region's signifi-
cance for the contemporary
world.
The couple, of New York City,
grew up and completed their high
school education in Iran before
coming to, and eventually settling
in, the United States. Each ma-
jored in economics at Princeton
and earned a certificate in the
Program in Near Eastern Stud-
ies.
"Princeton and Iran go back
more than a century," said Bijan
Mossavar-Rahmani, an oil and
gas executive who serves concur-
rently as chairman and chief ex-
ecutive officer of RAK Petroleum
in the United Arab Emirates and
executive chairman of Norway's
DNO International. Howard C.
Baskerville, Class of 1907, went to
Iran as an English teacher and
died fighting alongside his stu-
dents in a short-lived quest for
constitutional democracy. He is
still revered by Iranians who re-
member also the Princeton con-
nection a connection that drew
me to this University more than
40 years ago.
Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani,
chief investment officer of the
Private Wealth Management
Group at Goldman Sachs, added:
Baskerville is reported to have
said that the only difference be-
tween me and these people is my
place of birth, and this is not a
big difference. We hope that
through its mission of scholar-
ship and teaching, this center will
build on the legacy of Baskerville
and that of so many other Prince-
tonians in bringing people and
places closer together.
The centers scholars and stu-
dents will explore a broad range
of topics, including issues in
which Iran and the Persian Gulf
states play a pivotal role, such as
regional and international secu-
rity, oil and energy markets, and
trade and global finance. Faculty
members and visiting scholars
will conduct research and teach
courses that address the history,
politics, economics and culture of
the region, from ancient Persia to
the modern states that border the
Persian Gulf.
We are very grateful to
Sharmin and Bijan for making
this center possible, said Prince-
ton President Shirley M. Tilgh-
man.
Both as a university and as a
nation, it is essential that we cul-
tivate a fuller understanding of
Iran and the other countries of
the Persian Gulf, given their rich
culture, geopolitical importance,
and the troubled history of Amer-
ican-Iranian relations. As tech-
nology binds the world more
closely together, we must develop
the intellectual tools to match this
new proximity and to foster in
our students a cosmopolitan per-
spective. The Mossavar-Rahmani
Center for Iran and Persian Gulf
Studies promises to make a sig-
nificant contribution to this
process.
Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani
joined Goldman Sachs as a part-
ner in 1993. She previously
worked at Fidelity Management
Trust Co., where she was chief in-
vestment officer for all separate
and co-mingled fixed income ac-
counts.
She is member of the board of
trustees and the investment com-
mittee of New York-Presbyterian
Hospital, the board of trustees
and the investment committee of
Trinity School in New York City,
and the national advisory board
of the Merage Foundation for the
American Dream.
She has published books on
bond indexing and on OPEC natu-
ral gas, as well as numerous arti-
cles on portfolio management is-
sues.
She earned an M.S. from Stan-
ford University. She is a former
member of the advisory council
for Princeton's Bendheim Center
for Finance.
Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani start-
ed his oil and gas career as
founder and president of Hous-
ton-based Apache International,
Inc. A former delegate to OPEC
Ministerial Conferences, he
served as the assistant director
for international energy studies
at Harvard University's Energy
and Environmental Policy Center,
where he wrote numerous books
and articles on global energy
markets.
He has been decorated as a
Commandeur de l'Ordre National
de la Cte d'Ivoire for services to
the energy sector of that West
African nation. He was honored
in December 2011 as the outstand-
ing industry leader of the year by
Middle East Oil & Gas magazine.
He also is a member of the board
of trustees of New York's Metro-
politan Museum of Art and a
member of Harvard University's
John F. Kennedy School of Gov-
ernment visiting committee. He
holds an MPA from the Kennedy
School.
The couples gift is part of As-
pire, the University's five-year
fundraising campaign that con-
cluded on June 30 after raising
$1.88 billion.
The Mossavar-Rahmani Center
is expected to create and support
connections to departments
throughout the University, build-
ing upon the foundation of the
Pahlavi Fund established at
Princeton in 1969 to promote un-
derstanding of Iranian society
and culture. It is intended to be a
hub of scholarly activity for a
group of affiliated faculty mem-
bers from a wide variety of Uni-
versity departments and pro-
grams.
The center also will serve as a
point of outreach for the Univer-
sity, recruiting visiting scholars
from many disciplines and sup-
porting Iranian-American stu-
dents as well as students from
Iran and the Persian Gulf. It will
sponsor conferences, lectures and
concerts, and offer grants for fac-
ulty and student travel and study
abroad. The center will be man-
aged by a director who is a
tenured professor of the Universi-
ty.
