Concerts tospan nation,

raise epilepsy

awarenessBY HEATHER FIOREThe Hopewell Sun

To honor his wife and raiseawareness about epilepsy, Pen-nington resident Eric Miller islaunching the first country-wide concert series of its kind,known as 50 Concerts in 50States, from March 22-24.

Less than two years ago,Millers wife, Carolina Barce-los Carneiro de OliveiraMiller, unexpectedly passedaway from Sudden UnexpectedDeath in Epilepsy, a mysteri-ous and rare condition that ac-counts for only 2 percent ofdeaths among epileptics.

In memory of Carolina,Miller began a fundraising ef-fort called The CandlelightConcert for Epilepsy Aware-ness, where he hosts a seriesof intimate concerts in his

home to raise awareness aboutepilepsy and its counterparts.In March of last year, Milleralso organized a memorialshow for his wife in Trenton,since March 26 is the interna-tional epilepsy awareness dayknown as Purple Day.

Two graduates of HopewellValley Central High School ap-peared on ABCs entrepreneurialreality show Shark Tank re-cently and snagged a $150,000 ini-tial investment in their invention

stainless steel coffee beans de-signed to keep hot beverages atthe perfect temperature.

Dave Petrillo and David Jack-son, who grew up together in Pen-nington, are the inventors of Cof-fee Joulies. The product

(joulies.com) is a set of fivesealed, stainless steel, over-sizedcoffee beans that contain an or-ganic, non-toxic, edible material(exactly what is proprietary infor-

mation). The material cools yourcoffee or other hot beverage to theperfect temperature of about 140degrees by absorbing heat, pre-venting burns and maximizingflavor.

Then, emitting the heat theyabsorbed, the Joulies keep thebeverage at that temperature forseveral hours, up to five hours ifthe drinker uses a special airtighttravel coffee mug sold with thebeans.

In January, Petrillo and Jack-son appeared on ABCs SharkTank, which features five wealthycelebrity entrepreneurs who lis-ten to pitches from up-and-com-

ers. After hearing the pitch forCoffee Joulies, four of the fivecelebrities (Daymond John,Kevin OLeary, Lori Greiner, andRobert Herjavec) opted to investin the product in exchange for aroyalty from each set of Jouliessold.

The deal they made on theshow was a starting point for fur-ther, confidential negotiationsthat are ongoing, according toPetrillo.

It was a lot of fun, it was real-ly exciting, he said of their tripout to Los Angeles to tape Shark

Petrillo and Jackson, who areboth engineers, are far from be-ginners at the entrepreneurgame. They started working onJoulies (which are named afterthe joule, a unit of energy) in2010. The two Daves as they call

themselves on their website,gained attention in 2011 whentheir invention was featured onKickstarter.com, a site that in-vites people to support creativeprojects and products. In the caseof Joulies, interested investorscould pre-order the product at adiscounted price. In just over amonth, the Daves, who had set outto raise $9,500 for production,raised more than $300,000, mak-

ing them, at the time, the thirdmost successful pitch ever on thesite. Also that year, they won$100,000 in the Shopify Build-a-Business Competition.

The two manufacture theirproduct in Sherrill, N.Y., in a for-mer Oneida flatware factory. Re-cently, they established an officein Brooklyn, though they are stillmanufacturing at the Oneida fac-tory.

Petrillo, who graduated fromCHS in 2004 and has an engineer-ing degree from Lehigh Universi-ty, and Jackson, who graduated in2002 and has engineering degreesfrom Rutgers and Stanford, both

belonged to the high schools Ro-botics Club. Dave Petrillos father,Edward, a retired chemist, stillserves as a mentor to the group.

The Robotics Club is a greatplace to get hands-on engineeringexperience that will set you apartfrom your other engineeringclassmates when you get to col-lege, said Dave Petrillo, who alsotook part in an engineering clubat Lehigh. It is the kind of prac-

tical, tangible, building stuff -ex-perience that was one of the mostvaluable things in my whole edu-cation. Thats the stuff that reallygets you ready to be a very pro-ductive engineer when it comestime to get a job.

Petrillo, who worked for aPennsylvania engineering com-pany until 2011, had worked foryears long-distance with Jackson,who has lived in Colorado and inCalifornia, on a laundry list ofvarious start-ups and inventions.They chose to go full-throttle onJoulies, because it seemed likethe simplest of their inventions tobring to fruition.

We thought this might be thesimplest to execute, that was thething that made it stand out,Petrillo said. We thought wecould probably figure out how todo this easily, and bring it to mar-ket, this simple product. But itturned out to be way more com-plicated than we imagined.

James McPherson, the PulitzerPrize-winning author who servedas a consultant for the movieLincoln, spoke about the CivilWar president to Toll Gate Gram-mar School students on Monday.

His grandson, James Long, aToll Gate fifth grader, introducedMcPherson, a professor emeritusat Princeton University and a pre-eminent scholar of the Civil Warera. Kindergarten students host-ed the Presidents Day assembly,wearing homemade patriotic hatsand reciting the names of all 44U.S. presidents.

McPherson, who won a

Pulitzer Prize for his 2003 bookBattle Call of Freedom, in 2009,authored an authoritative biogra-phy of Lincoln.

After students sang the Pledgeof Allegiance to open the assem-bly, McPherson noted that Ameri-ca was far from living up to theideals in that pledge during Lin-colns time.

One-hundred and fifty-two

years ago, when Lincoln waspresident, there was not libertyand justice for all, he said.

He then told the story of Lin-colns life as a self-taught son offarmers who freed 4 millionslaves, first through the Emanci-pation Proclamation, and thenwith the passage of the 13thAmendment to the U.S. Constitu-tion in 1865. It is the story of thatamendment that is told in StevenSpielbergs movie Lincoln.

Lincoln completely changedthe course of history and turnedus into the nation we are a na-tion of freedom where we try to

extend justice to all, McPhersonsaid. We dont always succeed,but we try.

McPherson, as a consultant onthe Spielberg film, spent a daygiving a tour of Gettysburg to thedirector and the films star,Daniel Day-Lewis.

They are both very modest,he said.

Spielberg, he said, was recog-

nized several times, while Lewis,known for his remarkable immer-sion in his characters, wasnt rec-ognized at all.

Thats really a testament tohis acting, said McPherson ofthe British performer, who haswon wide praise for his transfor-mation, on screen, into the 16thpresident.

They were trying to soak upthe atmosphere, and get a feel forthe important events (of thewar), said McPherson of the starand director. We spent a lot oftime in the cemetery.

McPherson was invited to the

school by Toll Gates PTO. Hisdaughter Jenny Long is co-presi-dent of the group, and her daugh-ter, Annie, a second grader, wasalso on hand to hear her grandfa-ther speak.

Atlantic City, one of this states

most lucrative tourist attrac-

tions, is struggling mightily.

Competition from casinos in neighbor-

ing Pennsylvania and Delaware have

slowly, but steadily, dealt huge blows to

our Shores revenue stream.

Revel casino, which opened its doorsa little more than a year ago, said re-

cently that it was filing for Chapter 11

bankruptcy. In February, the Trump

Plaza casino sold for the lowest price

ever paid for an Atlantic City casino

$20 million.

Gov. Christie, and a contingent of

politicians in New Jersey, have recog-

nized that this is a dire situation for At-lantic City and, in no small part, to the

states economy. To reverse the trend,

these politicians have tried, so far un-

successfully, to turn to betting on

sports.

New Jersey, along with every state

except four Nevada, Delaware, Ore-gon and Montana are banned from of-

fering wagering on sports, stemming

from a 1992 federal law. But Christie

and his supporters are hoping to over-

turn that.

They believe that it is unfair and un-

constitutional to prohibit the Garden

State from accepting sports bets, while

Las Vegas, in particular, reaps all therewards. We already have full-fledged

casinos, they say, so why not allow us

to have sports betting, too?

To stop New Jersey from offering

sports wagering, the NFL, NBA, NHL,

Major League Baseball and the NCAA

sued New Jersey last year to prohibit

the practice, and recently, a judge up-

held the ban on sports gambling in the

state. Christie says he will appeal the

decision, and we applaud his efforts.

Sports wagering is a harmless prac-

tice, or, at the very least, is no more

harmful than a bet in blackjack, roul-lette, let it ride, or any other casino

game that is currently offered in At-

lantic City. So why the continued ban?

New Jerseys gaming industry needs

sports wagering. Its a booming sector

of the industry, much like poker was a

few years back. Billions of dollars each

year are bet legally on sports in Ne-

vada, and estimates say illegal sportswagering through bookies or off-

shore websites might total hundreds

of billions more.

So why not allow Atlantic City, New

Jersey, and the United States, earn that

taxable income? It just makes sense.

in our opinion

Ball is in New Jerseys courtChristie says hell appeal judges sports gambling decision

Feeling lucky?

What are your thoughts on makingsports gambling legal in New Jersey? Isit something our governor shouldcontinue to fight for? Or is he, andothers, taking it too far?

could do to honor Carolina anddecided to take the concert seriesIve been doing and make it big-ger to embrace all 50 states, hesaid.

Miller started planning "50Concerts in 50 States" in Novem-ber 2012 and has partnered withfour major epilepsy foundationsto help execute the effort, includ-ing the Epilepsy Foundation,CURE Epilepsy, Doose Syndrome

Epilepsy Alliance and TeamEpilepsy.Ive been approaching exist-

ing shows and asking if I couldhave a table at their events, dis-tribute information about epilep-sy and accept donations, hesaid.

Miller described how the con-certs range from smaller scalehome concerts of 30 people tohuge arena shows with more than18,000 people featuring Eric Clap-ton. He managed to obtain the

multi-time Hall of Fame rocker,who was more than happy to givehim access to his shows in Ten-nessee, Oklahoma and Louisianaduring that weekend the largestconcerts featured in this series.

Along with Clapton, 50 Con-certs in 50 States will be featur-ing dozens of other renownedartists, such as Colbie Caillat,Garbage and Tegan and Sara, as

well as a handful of other artists,including some who have per-formed at his home as part ofThe Candlelight Concert forEpilepsy Awareness.

Miller also obtained local vol-unteers in all states to help ateach event. The volunteers will beresponsible for distributing theinformation packets he created,manning the designated tablesand collecting donations.

The idea is that were getting

the message out about epilepsy tothose who arent necessarily im-pacted by it, he said.

Various epilepsy foundationshave been assisting Miller withfinding volunteers, as well as thewebsite he created for the event candlelightconcert.org/50.asp which helped him find almost 500volunteers.

"On my website, theres a placewhere you can volunteer to help ashow," Miller said. "As Im start-ing to coordinate the volunteers

whos going to be at what showand where if I see theres not anaffiliate [of one of the founda-tions] there, hopefully my streetteam, the people that have volun-teered to help through my web-

site, will fill in those gaps."As of March 5, Miller con-

firmed 46 states that will collabo-ratively host 80 events.

Although it's not exactly 50

concerts in 50 states, he detailedhow the underlying cause is thereal focus of the series.

"Its just called '50 Concerts in50 States' because thats catchyand obviously the goal, but if we

just end up with 46 states, thatsbetter than zero," he said. "I al-ways look at it as making noisewhere there previously wasnone."

As part of the series, Miller co-ordinated a personal show, which

will be hosted at the Trinity Unit-ed Methodist Church in Ewing onMarch 23, and can accommodateup to 300 people.

Between all the concerts he hasarranged, Millers message willreach around 120,000 people.

Youre not going to get any-thing by not being bold, he said.This disease is in need of nation-al awareness.

Proceeds from the concerts willbe dispersed among the partici-pating charities, depending on lo-

cation.For more information about

"50 Concerts in 50 States," to vol-unteer to help with a show, or tomake a donation, go to candle-lightconcert.org/50.asp.

Lawrence High School Commonson Saturday, March 23 from noonto 4 p.m.

In addition to featuring morethan 40 eco-friendly vendors, visi-tors can hear speakers talk abouta variety of sustainability issuesranging from local school garden-ing and science projects, to the fu-ture of transportation, recyclingin Mercer County and muchmore.

The green fair is an opportu-nity for residents to come to a par-ticular location and learn aboutthings like companies that putsolar panels on your house, com-panies that do energy audits ofyour home, local farming andlocal gardening, John Hoegl, for-mer chair and current member ofthe Ewing Township SustainableGreen Team, said.

Since its Ewing Townshipsfirst time assisting SustainableLawrence with the annual Expo,

Hoegl explained how they be-came involved.

Theres been an effort to getthe different green teams fromdifferent municipalities in Mer-cer County to work together, hesaid. This has been going on forabout six months.

Hoegl detailed how the collabo-ration was influenced by the non-profit organization, SustainableJersey, a certification programfor municipalities that want to go

green, save money and take stepsto sustain their quality of lifeover the long term; SustainableJersey awards points to munici-palities that participate in sus-tainable practices, such as theExpo. Pete Boughton, currentchair of the Ewing Township Sus-tainable Green Team, explainedhow the team has been involvedwith the weekly planning meet-ings and is tasked with enlistingbusinesses and homeownersaround the area who have com-

pleted energy-efficient projects.Like Ewing Township, the

Hopewell Valley Green Team which consists of HopewellTownship, Hopewell Borough andPennington Borough is also

joining Sustainable Lawrence toparticipate.

All of our members have beento the expo, and were big admir-

ers, but this is the first year they[Sustainable Lawrence] invitedus to be a participant, co-chairJoanne Held said. All of MercerCountys sustainable groups werelooking for ways to pull resourcesand work together, and this wasone of the things that was sug-gested. This year, were like a jun-ior member trying to get our feetwet and trying to learn what wecan do and contribute.

Held explained how the

Hopewell Valley Green Team isbringing a Game Wheel for chil-dren about the benefits of pestsand safest ways to get rid of them,which was provided by of thePennington Environmental Com-mission.

We are also having a boothcalled Beyond Curbside Recy-cling, which explains ways thatyou can recycle other things be-sides what you can put in your re-cycling containers [provided byMercer County], which is some-

thing weve been spending a lot oftime on, she said. We also madea flier to suggest other ways to getrid of things, rather than dump-ing them in landfills.

Sustainable Lawrence Presi-dent Tahirih Smith explainedhow the Expo originally startedout as a green-everything Expo,focusing on everything that wassustainable in Lawrence, but hasgrown to incorporate a variety ofother topics.

In the last six years, we haveexpanded that idea, she said.Over the last few years, we havereally concentrated on home andenergy. This year, aside from hav-ing high efficiency, electric vehi-cles and home and energy im-provements, we also have a newfarmers market, which is a sam-pling of all the farms in the area.There will be three chefs from dif-ferent local venues giving cook-ing demonstrations using localproduce; lunch will be provided

by those farmers for purchase.Were looking forward to that.

The Expo will also showcaselocal schools projects this year,including LES and BF Elemen-tary, according to Smith. Also

back by popular demand this yearis the Ask Your Neighbor cor-ner, which is very interactive andhelpful for residents, according to

Smith.The last few years, weve had

an Ask Your Neighbor corner,which consists of people whohave done improvements, remod-eling and energy-efficient proj-ects, and are coming to sharetheir experiences, she said.That has been very popular be-cause people get to learn fromreal experiences how did itwork, did it really save money,how hard it was to install and

use.Various local organizations areinvolved in the Expo, such asLawrence Nature Center andLawrence-Hopewell Trail, as wellas other organizations through-out Mercer County.

New vendors include Habitatfor Humanity ReStore, the Mer-cer County Improvement Author-ity, Trenton Bike Exchange andCapital Health.

Every year, were trying tohighlight local businesses whoare trying to become sustain-able, Smith said. This year, we

have all of these vendors andlocal businesses that we hope peo-ple will get to know and support,

if they dont already.For more information about
