Residents, officials celebrate consolidationBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

The council and mayor of thenew Princeton rang in the NewYear with a consolidation celebra-tion at the township complex onJan. 1.

Several hundred residentspacked the main communityroom at 400 Witherspoon St. tohear formal remarks from town-ship officials beginning at 11 a.m.

Consolidation CommissionChairman Anton Lahnston andTransition Task Force ChairmanMark Freda addressed the crowd,both thanking the volunteers andstaff who worked through 2012 tomake consolidation a reality.

Its a historic day, Lahnstonsaid to the standing-room-onlycrowd. A lot of people workedvery hard to get us here.

Freda praised the arduousprocess, which included dozens ofmeetings and months of work, forthe successful outcome.

Today we crossed a thresh-old, he said. There are a lot of

people who got us here, pro andcon. Without the vigorous discus-sion, I wonder if we would havedone as good a job.

The audience also heard fromTownship Administrator RobertBruschi.

Today, ladies and gentlemen,the eagle has landed, Bruschisaid. On behalf of all our staff,let me be the first one to welcomeyou to the new Princeton.

Elected state and county offi-cials in attendance included sev-eral Assemblymen and women,

Mercer County freeholders, StateSen. Kip Bateman and County Ex-ecutive Brian Hughes.

A representative from U.S. Rep.Rush Holts office read a letterfrom Holt, and a proclamationwas read from Gov. Christie.

The ceremony concluded witha speech from new mayor LizLempert, who was all smiles asshe took the podium.

Today we ring in the NewYear, as we do every Jan. 1, shesaid. But this New Years Day Jan. 1, 2013, will always have spe-cial meaning in Princeton. Todayis the day we ring in our new, uni-fied government.

After the formal remarks, resi-dents moved down the hall toenter their names in a drawingfor a Best of Princeton basket,contribute to a community art ex-hibit called What I Love AboutPrinceton, and eat a piece ofConsoli-Cake.

The cakes, provided by McCaf-

freys Supermarket, were three-dimensional renditions of well-known Princeton landmarks.

At noon, the clerk called toorder the first official meeting ofthe Princeton Council.

After a salute to the flag led byBrownie Girl Scout Troop 72908,Lempert was sworn in as mayorby Dick Woodbridge, her oppo-

A $300 million arts and transitproject proposed by PrincetonUniversity was approved Dec. 18by the Regional Planning Board.

The project, originally pro-posed nearly six years ago, wouldhave been automatically ap-proved if the Board had notreached a decision. The plan was

approved by a vote of 9 to 1.The project, which includes the

construction of theatres, studiosand rehearsal spaces at Alexan-der Road and University Place,

has faced debate and criticism,particularly from residents upsetabout plans to move the historicDinky train station 460 feet to thesouth.

Planning Board memberBernie Miller said the Boardsvote was a reflection of the wholeproposal, not just the portion thatconcerned the Dinky.

Moving the Dinky was not re-ally part of what we voted on,

Miller said. It was not and couldnot be an issue on the vote. Wewere voting on whether we feltthe project was a good choice andone that satisfied the zoning re-

quirements. We were not votingon moving the Dinky station.

University officials have saidthat construction on the projectcould begin as soon as Februaryof this year, though members ofthe resident group Save theDinky said they will appeal thePlanning Boards decision incourt.

Michael Cadden, chair of theUniversitys Lewis Center for the

Arts, is excited at the opportunityfor the arts program to grow.

nent in Novembers mayoral race.I asked Dick to administer my

oath of office because I havetremendous respect for him andhis long and continuing record ofservice to this community, Lem-pert said. His being here demon-strates that this is a day for com-ing together. No matter your polit-

ical persuasion or your feelingsabout the issues of the day, or onwhich side of the old Borough-Township line you reside, today isthe day when we start to build aunified future as Princetonians.

Oaths of office were adminis-tered to Councilmembers Jo But-ler, Jenny Crumiller, Lance Liver-man, Patrick Simon, HeatherHoward and Bernie Miller. Aftertaking the oath, each membertook their seat on the dais at thefront of the room, and turned a

placard with their name on it to-ward the assembled crowd.

The Councilmembers alsodrew slips of paper from a hat todetermine the length of theircouncil terms.

Liverman and Howard havethree-year terms. Miller and But-ler drew two-year terms and Cru-miller and Simon have one-yearterms.

The first order of business wasselecting a Council president for

2013. Lempert nominated Miller,and Simon seconded the nomina-tion.

Miller was unanimously cho-sen as the president. Miller saidhe has been an advocate of con-solidation since he assisted on the1978 consolidation study commis-sion.

Its very gratifying for me tobe able to say that, 59 years afterconsolidation was first put to avote in Princeton in 1953, thatwere now legally one Princeton,

Miller said. However, the factthat were now legally one Prince-ton is only the beginning.

Miller said he and the Council

would work hard to make thepromises of consolidation a reali-ty.

Having served on both theConsolidation Commission andTransition Task Force, I knowthat there are promises, both ex-plicit and implicit, that weremade in the consolidation study,he said. I believe that it is ourfirst job as your elected represen-tatives to deliver what we prom-ised the residents of our commu-nity who affirmed the choice of

consolidation in November of2011.

The Council approved a con-sent agenda authorizing CouncilDepartmental Assignments, pro-fessional service agreements andother basic governmental func-tions.

The Council moved severalitems on the agenda to the end ofthe meeting for further discus-sion.

Lempert addressed the crowdagain, reiterating the importance

of working as part of a team togovern Princeton, and asking res-idents to do their part.

As your mayor, my door willalways be open, she said. I planto have mayors hours the thirdThursday of every month. Thefirst session will be on ThursdayJan. 17 from 5 to 7 p.m. here inthis building. In February, Illhold mayors hours at the formerBorough Hall. Come visit. Werealways looking for good ideas and

potential solutions.The next meeting of the newCouncil was to be Jan. 3 at 5 p.m.in the main community room at400 Witherspoon St.

Miller praised the efforts thatled up to the Jan. 1 meeting andcelebration, but spoke about thehard work that will follow in thecoming months.

Looking back theres much tobe proud of, that we have accom-plished, he said. Looking for-ward, theres much to be done.

Im certain by working togetherwe can make our one Princetongreater than was the sum of itstwo individual parts.

When things like the fiscal

cliff pop up, the electorate,

in general, gets really mad

at Washington, D.C., politicians. People

complain about a lack of leadership,

too much partisan politics, etc. They

wonder why their elected officials

cant work together to get things done.Then, every few years, the electorate

returns, for the most part, the same

cast of characters to office.

Lets look at some of the major play-

ers in the cliff debacle:

Harry Reid was first elected to Con-

gress in 1983.

John Boehner has been serving

since 1991.

Mitch McConnell took his place in

the Senate in 1985.

Now, President Obama hasnt been

in D.C. nearly as long as those guys,

but he received voter approval only a

couple of months ago to serve another

four years.

So, in two months, when the next

cliff-like scenario plays out the debate

over raising the debt ceiling from its

current $16 trillion level what do you

think will happen?

Washington politicians had more

than a year to avoid the first cliff,

and managed to do so only at the last

minute. Does anyone seriously antici-

pate a debt-ceiling deal happening

prior to the last 27 seconds before the

nations credit rating is about to get

zapped?

If the public wants change in the

federal government, it has to change

the people elected to run the federalgovernment. It has to remove politi-

cians who put partisan politics above

compromise and, in some cases, com-

mon sense. It has to elect candidates

who are committed to working with

members of either party to do the

right thing.

Will that happen? It can, but, if his-

tory is any indication, it wont. Well be

seeing the same people, talking about

the same things, in the same way, for

years to come.

in our opinion

D.C. dysfunctionIf the same people are elected time and again, why does anyone expect change?

Same people, same result

Upset about the fiscal cliff debacle?Tired of partisan politics? Its up to theelectorate to make changes. Electingthe same people year after year andexpecting them to change does notmake any sense.

tice are arts that need certain kinds ofspaces, Cadden said. All the spaces wecurrently use are spaces that are repur-posed. You wouldnt think of adapting alecture hall used by the English depart-ment into something that would be appro-priate for the Physics department. It willbe fantastic to have some purpose-builtspaces to explore the kinds of arts we wantto explore.

Miller believes the project will be benefi-cial to both the university and the munici-

pality, and will promote the communityand aesthetic values of Princeton.

That part of campus and town has beensadly neglected, he said. I see it as a firststep toward making that part of campus

and Alexander Road an attractive gatewayinto the community. It wont happenovernight, but as its developed there is areal opportunity to make it something spe-cial for our community.

Cadden believes the project, which in-cludes three main buildings, an under-ground forum and a central plaza area, willbe good for the community as well as theuniversity.

I think this is really going to be a livelyarea throughout the year, Cadden said.And some of the prime users will be com-munity organizations. I understand the

scrutiny the project received. Its taken awhile but Im really happy weve come to a

successful resolution. I think its going tobe an extraordinary place for the commu-nity to come together.

The project will mark the first significantcooperation on a project by the universityand municipality following the consolida-tion of Princeton Township and Borough.

At the Jan. 1 consolidation celebration,Mayor Liz Lempert told residents she ac-knowledged the importance of the town-gown relationship with the university.

In order for our newly consolidatedPrinceton to succeed, everyone every res-ident, every business owner, every proper-ty owner has to work together as a team,Lempert said. To that end we will beworking closely with every institution in

our community, including Princeton Uni-versity.

The Princeton Regional Plan-

ning Board voted against a proj-ect last month that would haveturned the Witherspoon Streetsite of the former UniversityMedical Center of Princeton intoa 280-unit apartment complex.

The project, proposed by devel-opment firm Avalon Bay, was de-nied by a 7 to 3 vote.

Board members Lance Liver-man, Valerie Hayes and PeterMadison voted in favor of theproject. All three said they did not

like the proposed plans, but feltthat Avalon Bays design met thezoning requirements for the site,and that the company would winif it appealed the case in court.

It is unknown whether AvalonBay will appeal the decision. Arepresentative from the companysaid, at this point, we have nocomment on the vote.

Approved zoning uses for thesite include housing, but prohibitgated communities.

Board member Bernie Miller

said he voted against the proposalbecause of a part of the designplans that included a gated swim-ming pool.

The design standards carry

the weight of an ordinance, hesaid. The zoning specificationsrule out gated communities, anda large part of the development,

specifically a large quadranglewith a swimming pool, wouldhave been considered a gatedcommunity.

When the proposal was shotdown at the Dec. 19 meeting, sev-eral Board members cited aes-thetic reasons for voting againstthe project. Residents inattendance raised similar con-cerns.

Miller said that in addition tothe gated areas of the community

being a violation of the zoning re-quirements, he felt the develop-ment would not improve the sus-tainability of Princeton.

The zoning is for retail andresidential use, he said. Butthere was no retail included.There was no coffee shop, no drycleaner, no convenience store.That means the residents of thiscommunity, when they needed aservice or to purchase something,would have had to get in theircars and drive somewhere to get

it. That is not environmentallyconscious or sustainability con-scious. That makes Princeton lesssustainable.

The vote came at the end of a

number of Planning Board meet-ings over the course of twomonths. The project was beenhotly debated, and a group of res-

idents called Citizens for Sustain-able Neighborhoods hired twolawyers to assist in the fight

against the projects approval.Residents and Board members

said the project was not the rightchoice for Princeton, despite the

56 units of affordable housing itwould have brought to the munic-ipality.

It is true that Princeton needsmore affordable housing, Millersaid. But we cant just take thegood parts. We have to weigh the

entire proposal, and this proposalwas something I frankly just didnot want on that site.

Generations after the Shoah,the role of the citizenry of Poland

during the German occupationand afterward is still debated. InJuly 1941, in the village of Jed-wabne, virtually all of the towns1,600 Jews were murdered in one

day. In Neighbors (2001), Grossdemonstrated that they werekilled viciously, not by the occu-pying Germans, but by their Pol-ish neighbors. That book, nomi-nated for a National Book Award,created a storm. Recently, whatappeared to be an innocuoussnapshot of Polish peasants near

former death camp Treblinka re-vealed a great deal more, as Grossshows in his new book, GoldenHarvest (2012). The Poles in thephoto were actually digging

among the bones of the Jews tofind gold and gemstones over-looked by the Nazis. Golden Har-vest recounts how victims werehunted, extorted, robbed as 90percent of Polands Jews wereeventually killed. The book divid-ed Polands thinkers and createdan international controversy.

Dont miss this provocative talk.Gross, history professor of Warand Society at Princeton, wasborn in Warsaw in 1947 to a moth-er who was a member of the Pol-

ish resistance and a Jewish fatherwho survived the Nazi occupationof Poland. As a young dissidentwho took part in student and in-tellectual protests in 1968, Grosswas expelled from Warsaw Uni-versity. He and his parents immi-grated to America in 1969 whenthe authorities permitted people

of Jewish origin to leave. Heearned his PhD at Yale and hastaught there and at NYU, Emory,Yale and universities in Paris, Vi-enna and Krakow.

Not only are they laser-focusedon the football field, HopewellValley Central High Schools play-

ers are just as committed to help-ing those with breast cancer.Their recent PINK OUT raised$883 for the Breast Cancer Re-source Center at YWCA Prince-ton.

Varsity football captains werepivotal in leading the communityPINK OUT. Captains and seniorsChaz Bell, Sean Richards, AlecHasse, and Steven Profetto, cametogether to lead a school-wide ini-tiative raising funds through the

sale of t-shirts.Last year our breast cancermotto was Hope for Hopewell,Hasse said. This year we decidedto name it the Hopewell PinkOut in hopes that there would bea massive amount of pink on thefield and in the bleachers at thegame.

And what a day it was in Octo-ber 2012. The Bulldogs took onBurlington Township undersunny skies with the playersdressed in pink shirts and socks.

In addition to supporting breastcancer, their new field was dedi-cated that day.

It was great to have so manypeople there for both events, Bellsaid. It really motivated the play-ers to give our all during thegame. We knew we were playingfor more than a win on the field.

Cynthia Wiley, of the HopewellGridiron, was instrumental inhelping the team organize andpull off the PINK OUT success.The players rallied together inbuilding momentum and increas-ing awareness of breast cancer.

They got the word out throughFacebook and reached out to fel-low students personally.

The student response was sopositive the T-shirts sold outwithin days. Aztec Graphics cameto the rescue printing more tomeet the demand ensuring every-one who wanted to participatecould.

The captains presented a checkrecently to the Breast Cancer Re-source Center at YWCA Prince-ton. For four decades, the Breast

Cancer Resource Center has pro-vided crucial services to helpwomen through all phases ofbreast cancer from diagnosis,through treatment, remission,and even recurrence. Long recog-

nized in the community for itsquality support services, it hasbecome a model for similar facili-ties across the country.

Survivors point to the YWCAPrincetons support groups, coun-

seling, and peer support networkas important facets of their re-coveries. Being able to connect in

a safe, nurturing environment ispivotal to many women. Offeringsextend to financial assistance, in-formation resources, a guestspeaker series, and a wide varietyof mind/body wellness classes in-cluding Zumba, yoga, nia,strengthen and stretch, and waterexercise.

Our Breast Cancer ResourceCenter relies heavily on dona-tions, YWCA Princetonspokesperson Diane Hasili said.

We are especially thankful to allthe Hopewell Valley students fortheir support. We are apprecia-tive that they have become am-bassadors in spreading the wordthat we are here when someonein the community is diagnosedwith breast cancer.

Coach Dave Caldwell feels priv-ileged to work with the team.

It was all their doing, he said.They are very civic-mindedthroughout the year. Im veryproud of them.
