The Robbinsville Sun
For four years, former president of
Robbinsville Little League Jimmy Matt
has been trying to get a Babe Ruth base-
ball league started in Robbinsville, but
it hasnt been easy.
At first, Matt had difficulty getting
the Babe Ruth League to grant Rob-
binsville a charter, which would allow
the township to form official Babe Ruth
League-affiliated teams that would have
the ability to play against other Babe
Ruth teams.
There was a lot of politics in-
volved, Matt said, adding that he dis-
covered he had to go to the right indi-
viduals in order for anything to get
done.
About two years ago, I was able to
get a charter, he said. But then people
backed away from it.
Those who had verbally agreed to
have their kids play Babe Ruth, Matt
said, retreated when they heard about
restrictions imposed by the league.
The restraints put on the new pro-
gram, Matt said, well, you might say
they were strangling.
The Babe Ruth league required two
teams at each grade level, which was
difficult for Robbinsville as a small
township.

I Can Now Feel My Feet! is
the subject of an upcoming talk
by physical therapist Ilene Wa-
trous at the monthly meeting of
the Multiple Sclerosis Self-Help
Group of Mercer County that
meets at the Robbinsville Library,
42 Robbinsville-Allentown Road
in Robbinsville.
The meeting will take place on
Tuesday, March 6, from 7 to 8:30
p.m.
Watrous will demonstrate sev-
eral neuromuscular re-education
techniques she utilizes with her
patients to help them walk better.
Frequently, individuals with mul-
tiple sclerosis, Parkinson's dis-
ease and diabetic neuropathy are
unable to experience sensation in
their feet and, therefore, have dif-
ficulty walking. To achieve better
balance, she uses sensory feed-
back to calm the nervous system
and increase feeling in her pa-
tients feet.
After such a therapy session,
her patients often express, I can
now feel my feet again after all
these years!
A physical therapist for 30
years, Watrous is in private prac-
tice in Princeton Junction. She
has extensive training in both
conventional therapy and ad-
vanced manual techniques, in-
cluding the Trager Approach and
CranioSacral Therapy.
She has lectured before the
American Physical Therapy As-
sociation and has appeared on tel-
evision and written several jour-
nal articles about the Trager
method, which uses gentle rock-
ing and oscillating motions to fa-
cilitate rehabilitation of muscles
and reduce pain patterns.
Admission is free.

To those who think Valentines
Day is a day dreamed up by
greedy card corporations, food
historian and tea specialist Ju-
dith Krall-Russo has a long histo-
ry of Valentines Day traditions
with which to refute them.
Krall-Russo recently spoke to
attendees at a Robbinsville Li-
brary event about the history of
this February holiday.
Valentines Day, she says, has
been celebrated for hundreds of
years, and the giving of valen-
tines and other gifts has been in
practice for nearly as long. And
although we take our efficient
and inexpensive postal service for
granted today, sending valentines
through the mail wasnt always
so easy.
In the late 1700s, Krall-Russo
says, sending anything through
the mail was prohibitively expen-
sive, which forced many of those
wishing to send a valentine to
have it hand-delivered by coach.
In the following century, a
penny postage service was set up
in the United States, making the
mailing of valentines much more
practical. This, Krall-Russo says,
ushered in a kind of golden age
for the sending of valentines.
This is the time when valen-
tines become very, very popular,
she said.
For a long time, Valentines
Day cards were handmade by the
sender, and were often elaborate-
ly decorated with lace and cut
paper. The lace, Krall-Russo ex-
plained, was more than just a
pretty addition.
It says, youve caught my
heart, said Krall-Russo, be-
cause its like a spiders web.
For the uncreative or those un-
willing to compose their own po-
etry, books of verses suitable to
inscribing on a valentine became
available.
It also became possible, around
the middle of the 1800s, as the cel-
ebration of Valentines Day be-
came more widespread, to pur-
chase ready-made, mass-pro-
duced valentines.
One of the most famous Valen-
tines Day traditions heart-
shaped boxes of chocolates got
its start during the Victorian era,
as well. The first modern choco-
late bar, Krall-Russo says, was
created by Cadbury in 1847.
In 1868 Cadbury put out the
first Valentines Day chocolate
box.
It had a picture of his daugh-
ter on it, Krall-Russo says.
These first chocolate boxes
were very elaborate. Often cov-
ered in lace, silk or velvet, and
sometimes with a mirror inside,
they were far more substantial
than the disposable cardboard
boxes used today.
Krall-Russo also touched on
some more complicated Victorian
traditions, such as the use of
flowers, fans and handkerchiefs
as subtle means of communica-
tion between friends, lovers and
even enemies.
Almost every kind of flower,
Krall-Russo says, had a meaning.
Ivy symbolized friendship,
while, predictably, red roses stood
for romantic love. Daisies repre-
sented innocence, daffodils re-
spect, hydrangeas thanks, and or-

in our opinion
O
n the surface, two bills recent-
ly introduced in Congress
make sense. They would re-
strict the number of fees airlines
could charge. After all, who hasnt
been on a plane where everyone is
wrestling to get overhead storage
space for their 73 carry-on bags they
brought to avoid baggage fees?
Problem is, this is America, and
America has achieved economic great-
ness because it allows, for the most
part, businesses to compete without
many rules. Once government gets
into regulating things that dont relate
to, for example, safety, the whole sys-
tem gets messed up.
Naturally, the airlines arent in favor
of these bills. Some of them already
waive baggage fees for one or two
pieces.
Others correctly point out that,
charging fees, while keeping fares
lower, gives consumers a choice. In-
deed, if you travel without checked
bags, you probably would opt for the
airlines that offer lower fares, but
charge for checked baggage. Its less
money out of their pockets for the
same service they would receive on
any airline.
Congressional supporters of the
bills point out that consumers dont
like the fees. Well, of course, they
dont. No one likes fees.
If Congress would check, were sure
it would find that people dont like
high airline ticket prices, either. Or, in
keeping with the air travel theme,
parking rates that rise as you get clos-
er or more convenient parking spots at
an airport. Or high-priced food in air-
port restaurants.
Sure, some air travellers can feel
like they are being nickeled and dimed
to death. But its their choice to fly the
airlines that charge these fees. There
are any number of ways to avoid the
fees, they just choose not to do so.
This is a business model, pricing
choice. Its what keeps businesses
competitive. Congress should stay
away.
Keep air fee bills grounded
Congress should let the free enterprise system work
Hands off private business
Congress has better things to do with
its time than to get involved with air-
line fees. Let consumers make choic-
es and the airlines make business
decisions.
The Pennington Players will perform
magic on roller skates with their upcom-
ing performance of the musical fantasy
Xanadu at Mercer County Community
Colleges Kelsey Theatre.
Dates and show times for this spirited
take on 1980s popular culture are: March 9,
10, 16 and 17 at 8 p.m.; and March 11 and 18
at 2 p.m.
Kelsey Theatre is located on Mercers
West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton
Road.
A reception with the cast and crew fol-
lows the opening-night performance on
March 9.
Based on the film starring Olivia New-
ton-John and Gene Kelly, Xanadu follows
the journey of a beautiful Greek muse,
Kira, who descends from Mt. Olympus to
Venice Beach, Calif.
Her quest is to inspire a struggling
artist, Sonny, to achieve the greatest cre-
ation of all time: the first Roller Disco!
With Xanadus classic numbers like
Magic, Suddenly and Evil Woman,
the audience will roll right with the lively
original musical score composed by pop-
rock legends Jeff Lynne (of Electric Light
Orchestra) and John Farrar.
The show is performed without an inter-
mission and runs approximately 90 min-
utes.
The original Broadway production
opened in 2007 to glowing reviews, and was
nominated for four Tony Awards, includ-
ing Best Musical.
Xanadu features Jaclyn Dixon of
West Deptford as Clio/Kira, and Matt
Reher of Philadelphia as her mortal lover,
Sonny.
The production team includes John Boc-
canfuso of Yardville as the director and
choreographer; Frank Ferrara of West
Windsor as the producer; Tracy Witko of
Chester as the musical director; Michelle
Rittmann of Ewing as stage manager and
costume designer; and Judi Parrish of
West Trenton as set and lighting designer.
The Pennington Players have been en-
tertaining local audiences since 1951, and
were the first group to perform at the
Washington Crossing State Park Open Air
Theatre.
The Players produce three to four shows
each year at Kelsey Theatre, ranging from
childrens shows to smaller dramas to full-
scale musicals. Their Kelsey shows at
have included Urinetown, 13, Rag-
time, The Wiz and Once On This Is-
land.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $16 for senior
citizens, and $14 for students and children
and may be purchased by calling the
Kelsey Theatre box office at (609) 570-3333,
or online at www.kelseytheatre.net. Kelsey
Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free
parking next to the theater.
For more information about the Pen-
nington Players and the show, visit
www.penningtonplayers.org.
Kelsey Theatre turns back to the 80s with Xanadu
Special to The Sun
The Pennington Players will hit the
Kelsey Theatre stage in roller skates for
the upcoming Xanadu.
Were talking about 50, 60, 70
kids, Matt said. Were graduat-
ing 30 kids a year were lucky if
40 percent or 30 percent are play-
ing baseball.
Matt said there were also is-
sues with Babe Ruth about fields,
bathrooms at games and conces-
sions, but hes hopeful that
this year, things will finally work
out.
Were supposed to sit down in
May or June with Babe Ruth offi-
cials, Matt said. And were
going to say look, you have to
start somewhere and develop
from that point on.
Matt has a long history with
baseball, having played in college
in the minor leagues. More re-
cently, he says a neighbor, Chuck
Petty, got him involved in Rob-
binsville Little League, and he
began as a Little League coach.
Finally Matt became president
of the Robbinsville Little League.
I wanted to run Little
League, he said, I wanted to run
it the right way.
Under his leadership, Matt
said, Robbinsville Little League
was growing, but there was
nowhere for kids who had out-
grown the league to go, since kids
can only play Little League until
age 12.
Baseball at Robbinsville High
School doesnt start until around
age 15.
This gap meant many kids who
had been playing Robbinsville
Little League either had to join
the Hightstown-East Windsor
team, or quit playing baseball al-
together. Matt said he pushed
hard for Robbinsville to have its
own Babe Ruth.
I didnt want kids to have to
leave town to play baseball, he
said.
Matt also said it was unfortu-
nate some kids who outgrew Rob-
binsville Little League chose to
take up a different sport since
they couldnt continue with base-
ball in Robbinsville.
Jerry Chmielewski, current
Robbinsville Little League presi-
dent, said although he is not ac-
tively involved with getting Rob-
binsville Babe Ruth set up, hes
definitely in favor of the idea.
Chmielewski said hes glad to see
Babe Ruth come to Robbinsville if
it keeps more kids in baseball.
I think it would be great, as
far as the next step for our kids,
Chmielewski said. Theres lots
of good things about baseball,
about Little League. Kids make
friends, they see kids at school
and then they see them in the
field. The park is buzzing at night;
everybodys out there watching
their friends play.
Matt and Chmielewski both
stress the quality and hard work
Robbinsville baseball players
show. And this hard work has got-
ten them far.
The Robbinsville Little League
girls have played in the Little
League World Series, in Portland,
Ore., twice, Chmielewski said.
Robbinsville baseball has other
success stories as well.
Matt said his neighbor, Eric
Strano, who grew up in Rob-
binsville and played baseball at
Pond Road Middle School as well
as at Robbinsville High School,
got accepted to Rider University
on a baseball scholarship. He
signed a letter of intent to play
baseball for Rider during their
2012 season.
So Robbinsville Babe Ruth will
continue a legacy of great base-
ball at all levels in the township.
Im proud of our kids,
Chmielewski said. They work
hard and they do a good job. Im
happy to talk about them.

chids denoted lust.
In this era of symbolism, even
herbs had meanings associated
with them.
Chives meant courage, for in-
stance, and ferns, fascination.
Krall-Russo explained that
grouping flowers and herbs in a
bouquet could be a quite an effec-
tive way of communicating exact-
ly how one felt for someone.
You would use these to send
messages, she said.
Other objects were also used to
send messages, such as fans.
Women typically carried fans at
social gatherings, and Krall-
Russo says they were used to flirt
by conveying messages which
might not have been socially ac-
ceptable to speak aloud.
Placing a fan against ones right
cheek meant yes, while placing
it against the left meant no.
Holding an open fan in front of
ones face meant follow me, and
fanning oneself slowly meant
Im not interested go away.
Even handkerchiefs, Krall-
Russo said, could be used in a way
that sent a message. Passing the
handkerchief across ones eyes
meant Im sorry, while twirling
it through the hands expressed
indifference.
Folding a handkerchief care-
fully indicated a desire to speak to
the other person, while passing it
across the forehead meant were
being watched.
Other traditions, now forgot-
ten, were once associated with
Valentines Day.
The first bird you see on
Valentines Day will tell you what
kind of husband youll have,
Krall-Russo said. A blackbird in-
dicates that you will marry a cler-
gyman, a robin predicts a sailor
and a sparrow means your hus-
band will be a farmer. If you see a
woodpecker, you will have no hus-
band.
Valentines Day goes
