Princeton hires new superintendent of schools By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
A veteran educator who has ties to the Princeton area has been appointed to become the Princeton Public Schools’ new superintendent of schools, following a special school board meeting Feb. 18. Carol Kelley, who is the superintendent of schools in the Oak Park Elementary School District 97 in Illinois, was chosen from among a field of 13 semifinalists. A nationwide search was launched to find a successor for former Superintendent of Schools Steve Cochrane, who retired in June 2020. Barry Galasso, a retired superintendent of schools, has filled in as the interim superintendent of schools since July 1, 2020. He will stay on the job through June 30, 2021. Kelley begins her new job July 1 and will earn $240,000 per year. With the Princeton Public Schools logo as a backdrop behind her on the Zoom call, a smiling and happy Kelley watched and listened as the school board approved a resolution to hire her. Kelley thanked the school board for giving her the opportunity to lead the Princeton Public Schools. She said she is a “really strong advocate” for listening to the community. She said she was happy to return home to central
New Jersey. “I can’t wait to meet the students and the staff and to connect with the community,” Kelley said. Kelley, who raised her two sons in neighboring Montgomery Township, is a former superintendent of schools in the Branchburg Township School District. She has been a classroom teacher, an assistant principal and K-12 supervisor of math in the Franklin Township School District. She also served as the principal of an elementary school in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District, and as the director of curriculum and instruction for Hunterdon Central Regional High School. Education is a second career for Kelley, who earned a bachelor’s degree in systems science engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and a MBA degree from the University of Virginia. She earned a Ed.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005. She began her career working on cell phones and smart card technology for Bell Atlantic. She moved over to developing marketing strategy and packaging in the advanced care product division of Johnson & Johnson, before switching careers to become an educator. School board President Beth Behrend said the school board is
“delighted to have identified such a talented and accomplished educator to lead the Princeton Public Schools at this crucial time. “We remain committed to the pursuit of equity and academic excellence in an environment that supports the success of all of our students,” Behrend said. “Dr. Kelley shares our vision and values. Her passion, intellect and experience will help us deliver on this commitment.” School board members were unanimous in their praise for Kelley, pointing to her consensusbuilding skills and her comfort with using data analysis to guide decisions. School board member Betsey Baglio said this was “an incredibly exciting evening.” One of the school board’s most important functions is to hire a superintendent of schools, she said. “The hours we spent on this search were worth it. We found you,” Baglio told Kelley. Peter Katz, the Cranbury School District’s school board representative to the Princeton school board, said Kelley is “the perfect fit at this time. She is the right person to lead the district. She had the best background of all the candidates.” The Cranbury School District, which is a K-8 school district, sends its high school students to Princeton High School in a sending/receiving relationship be-

Renee Szporn, who is the copresident of the Princeton Regional Education Association, said the “minority community is
ecstatic” at Kelley’s appointment. Princeton resident Shirley Satterfield told Kelley that she is a sixth-generation Princetonian who attended public school in Princeton when the schools were segregated. “How far we have come,” Satterfield said on Kelley’s appointment.

Planning Board continues public hearing for Princeton University geo-exchange facility By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004
In an effort to mitigate noise and sound concerns, improved plans were presented to the Princeton Planning Board for a pro-
posed Princeton University geoexchange and athletics operation facility. When the board reconvened for the TIGER facility application’s public hearing on Feb. 18, a vote on whether to approve the application had not taken place as the hearing was continued to a March 11 special meeting. Attorney Bruce Afran, who is representing objectors to the application, will continue with his cross examination in the hearing at that time. Chair Wanda Gunning will no longer be part of the public hearing as she recused herself from
the current application to avoid any perceived conflict of interest after residents raised complaints and inquiries about her participation. The improved plans presented at the February meeting by representatives of Princeton for the one-story facility are now proposing an added sound enclosure around the transformers, reducing the size of the acoustic louvers (framed ventilation openings) on the east elevation of the building, and adding a site acoustic wall along the east façade of the facility. Point one of the changes
specific to the sound enclosure around the transformers located to south of the building, between the TIGER building and two energy storage tanks, now has a proposed redesign for a noise shield metal acoustic panel system that would go on all four sides of the transformer. The original design for the enclosure previously presented was just a security screening. “You will recall in the last meeting there was some conversation on whether the transformers could be relocated to the west side of the tanks. I pointed out that it would conflict with the de-
sire to screen the tanks with landscape, but instead we could make a commitment to surround those tanks with a sound enclosure,” Princeton University architect Ron McCoy said. Additionally, McCoy described the building as being wrapped by an additional acoustic wall on the east façade of the building and wrapped on the northern end to capture any escaping sound going to the north toward the University NOW (UNOW) Day Nursery, a child care center. The nursery is to the north of the project’s site. See PROPOSAL, Page 4A

Princeton Cannabis Task Force seeks volunteers By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
The Princeton Council is seeking volunteers to serve on the fledgling Princeton Cannabis Task Force, which will explore the impact of the legalization of marijuana in Princeton. The deadline to apply to serve on the task force is March 1. It is expected that the study will take about six to eight months to complete. Each member can anticipate spending 10 to 15 hours per month on task force-related issues. Volunteers must either live in Princeton,
own a business in Princeton or work at a Princeton business. Volunteers may also work at an organization that is located in Princeton. New Jersey voters approved the legalization of marijuana in November 2020. Princeton Councilwoman Eve Niedergang proposed the task force, which will serve in an advisory capacity to the mayor and Princeton Council. It will provide input in three main areas, including whether the town would allow a cannabis dispensary. If the Princeton Council permits a cannabis dispensary in town, the task force also will discuss whether tax revenue from the
sale of marijuana in a dispensary could be dedicated to a specific purpose. The task force will consider educational aspects of marijuana legalization, and how those educational efforts may be targeted to specific audiences – persons under 21 years old, adults and senior citizens. Finally, the task force will work with the Princeton Police Department and the Princeton Municipal Court prosecutor to shape enforcement policies for minors who possess or use marijuana, and adult use of the drug in public. The application form asks would-be volunteers about why there are interested in
serving on the task force, and about their previous involvement in the issue. They are also asked about potential conflicts of interest, if they are chosen to serve on the task force. Also, the application form asks for the relevant professional or volunteer experience that they would bring to the group, and whether they had previously served on any of Princeton’s advisory boards, committees or commissions. Persons who have questions may contact Princeton Councilwoman Eve Niedergang, Princeton Councilwoman Leticia Fraga or Princeton Councilwoman Michelle Pirone Lambros.
Gov. Murphy signs adult use cannabis reform bills into state law Gov. Phil Murphy has signed adult use cannabis reform bills into law, legalizing and regulating cannabis use and possession for adults 21 years and older (A-21 – The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance and Marketplace Modernization Act) and decriminalizing marijuana and hashish possession (A-1897). Murphy also signed S-3454, clarifying marijuana and cannabis use and possession penalties for individuals younger than 21 years old, according to a Feb. 22 press release from the governor’s office. Adult use cannabis is also referred to as recreational marijuana. The laws will not take effect immediately as regulations must be developed as to how and where the product will be sold in the Garden State. No estimate was provided by the governor’s office as to when or where adults will be able to legally purchase marijuana for recreational use. New Jersey has a program in place that permits certain individuals to legally obtain marijuana for medical use. “Our current marijuana prohibition laws have failed every test of social justice, which is why for years I have strongly supported the legalization of adult use cannabis. “Maintaining a status quo that allows tens of thousands, disproportionately people of color, to be arrested in New Jersey each year for low-level drug offenses is unjust and indefensible,” Murphy was quoted as saying in the press release. “In November, New Jerseyans voted overwhelmingly in support of creating a well-regulated adult use cannabis market. Although this process has taken longer
than anticipated, I believe it is ending in the right place and will ultimately serve as a national model. “This legislation will establish an industry that brings equity and economic opportunity to our communities, while establishing minimum standards for safe products and allowing law enforcement to focus their resources on real public safety matters. “We are taking a monumental step forward to reduce racial disparities in our criminal justice system, while building a promising new industry and standing on the right side of history. “I would like to thank the Legislature, advocates, faith leaders and community leaders for their dedicated work and partnership on this critical issue,” Murphy said. “At long last, New Jersey is turning the page on our previous treatment of marijuana use,” said Dianna Houenou, incoming chair of the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC). “I am excited to get to work building on the successes of the medical (marijuana) program and standing up the adult use cannabis industry. It is an honor to be part of this historic movement in New Jersey,” she said. Under A-21, the CRC will promulgate regulations to govern the medical and adult use industries and oversee the applications for licensing of cannabis businesses, according to the press release. The legislation further provides for the state Legislature to reinvest cannabis revenues in designated “impact zones,” directs the CRC to promote diversity and inclu-
sion in business ownership, and contains employment protections for people who engage in lawful behavior with respect to cannabis, according to the press release. A-1897 reforms criminal and civil penalties for marijuana and hashish offenses and provides remedies for people currently facing certain marijuana charges. The bill prevents unlawful low-level distribution and possession offenses from being used in pretrial release, probation and parole decisions, and provides certain protections against discrimination in employment, housing and places of public accommodation, according to the press release. A-1897 also creates a pathway to vacate active sentences for certain offenses committed before enactment of the enabling legislation. Murphy also signed S-3454 into law, clarifying penalties for marijuana and cannabis possession and consumption for individuals younger than 21 years old. The legislation corrects inconsistencies in A-21 and A-1897 concerning marijuana and cannabis penalties for those underage, according to the press release. In July 2019, Murphy signed legislation (the Jake Honig Compassionate Use Medical Cannabis Act) to reform New Jersey’s medical marijuana program and expand patient access to medical marijuana, ensuring that medical treatment is affordable and accessible for those who need it most. In December 2019, Murphy signed expungement reform legislation, giving individuals entangled in the criminal justice
system the opportunity to fully participate in society, according to the press release. S-4154 eliminated fees for expungement applications and created a petition process for “clean slate” expungement for residents, as well as requiring the state to implement an automated clean slate expungement system. Furthermore, the bill required that lowlevel marijuana convictions be sealed upon the disposition of a case, preventing those convictions from being used against individuals in the future, according to the press release.

Heart Health By the Numbers
H
eart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming more than 600,000 lives each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Often, heart disease develops silently as plaque builds up in the arteries over time, causing them to narrow and reduce blood flow to the heart. That’s why a regular checkup with your doctor, with blood work, on an annual basis is so important. Guidance from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the American Heart Association include recommendations to work with your doctor to monitor six different numbers that can be an indicator of your heart disease risk. • Cholesterol. Your total cholesterol number should be under 240, with an ideal score of being 200 or less. Annual blood work will reveal where you stand on the cholesterol scale. • Blood Pressure. Blood pressure is considered high if either the top number is 130 or above or the bottom number is 80 or above. Keeping your blood pressure under control is a key factor in heart health. • Blood Glucose Level. Your blood glucose number should be under 100. Testing can diagnose diabetes and prediabetes, where glucose numbers are higher than normal, but not yet considered diabetes. Left untreated, over time diabetes can affect your heart. • Resting Heart Rate. Your resting heart rate — how many times your heart beats per minute when you are at rest — can be checked with an exercise monitor or by taking your pulse. A healthy resting heart rate is between 60 and 90 beats per minute. • Body Mass Index. Body mass index, or BMI, is the ratio of weight to height. Diet and exercise can help you keep your BMI within a healthy range that falls between 19.5 and 24.9. • Waist Circumference. Carrying excess weight around your abdomen puts you at greater risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. If you’re a man, your waist circumference should be less than 40 inches. If you’re a woman, your waist circumference should be less than 35 inches. A measurement can be taken at home with a tape measure. Wrap it

around your torso, just above your hip bones at the level of your naval, exhale naturally, and then measure. In addition to knowing your numbers, you should also be sensitive to any changes in your health between doctors’ visits, particularly if you have a family history of heart disease, and make your doctor aware of them. When to Call 911 Almost every 40 seconds someone in the United States has a heart attack, according to the American Heart Association. Signs of a heart attack include: • Chest discomfort: Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain. • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body: Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. • Shortness of breath: This may occur with or without chest discomfort. • Other signs of a heart attack may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. If you experience signs of a heart attack, call 911. The quicker you get help the better your chances of survival. At Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center (PMC) a
SOLUTiONS

Professor Stephen Pacala: What we need to do
O
ur latest winter snow and storms notwithstanding, our planet’s climates are warming. Scientists worldwide are pretty much in agreement that climate change will bring widely varying, even extreme, weather conditions. Facing heat, droughts, wildfires, floods, and freezes, it is clear to science, and a majority of citizens, that we need to move away from fossil fuels and turn to green energy: solar, wind, and water. But doing so will require planning, adjustments, investments, and social preparation enabling all communities to benefit. Princeton Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Stephen Pacala has been, for some time, a leading researcher who has also reached out and consulted at all levels on what needs to be done and how these wide-ranging changes can be adopted over the next 30 years. He is one of the researchers and contributors to The Net-Zero America Project that is finding pathways, analysis and support, for policy makers nationwide to plan, provide infrastructure, and anticipate impacts on industry and communities. Princeton University, and the town of Princeton are also working toward net zero emissions to be achieved over the next decades. Among the aspects of this change that need to be prepared for is a technical blueprint for what technologies will be needed, what the costs will be, and how will they be paid for. Additionally, the financial capabilities of communities and industries need to be evaluated, and assistance, where needed, provided. One factor that initially seemed to be daunting was the cost of this national, and global, transformation. But now with the substantial drop in costs of solar and wind power, that is no longer a real impediment. In addition to lower green energy costs, expected lower health costs, from reduced emissions, have and will benefit the nation. And research has found that paying for these new, green energy systems is not significantly different than the fossil fuel industry’s investments over the last 30 years. But changing to green energy will require planning, as The Net-Zero America Project is doing. Not only will new hardware be needed, but social impacts will have to be addressed. As their jobs disappear, what will coal miners and fossil fuel employees do for their livelihoods? As neither the old technology locations nor the new technology industries are located everywhere, plans for accessibility and employment will be needed. One local example of this challenge can be seen when comparing Princeton and Trenton. Because the former is an affluent community, its residents can largely afford solar panel installations, home and business insulation upgrades, and
Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. A SIMPLE SOLUTION FOR GAPPED TEETH Gaps between teeth are fairly common, and for most people they are not worth the time, expense, and discomfort involved in getting braces or aligners. However, there is another option available for those with a gap they are unhappy with. Although dental bonding is often used to fix or conceal minor discoloration, cracks, or chips in teeth, it can also be used to fill in small gaps between teeth to create a more even smile. After a thorough cleaning and assessment of the problem area, bonding material is applied to the side of one tooth and then shaped to look natural and uniform with the rest of the teeth. Finally, it is hardened with a special light tool. Although gaps between your teeth may not be a big issue for you, when missing, neglected, damaged, or otherwise unattractive teeth prevent you from smiling, take care of the
special team of board certified physicians, specialists, and nurses provides prompt, quality care to heart attack patients, including critical life-saving treatments such as emergency angioplasty. Emergency angioplasty is a procedure used to open clogged arteries in response to a heart attack. The procedure quickly increases the flow of blood and oxygen through blocked arteries without the need for invasive heart surgery. Only state-licensed facilities, like PMC, can offer this procedure, which has been proven to reduce mortality rates in heart attack patients. Protect Your Heart With these numbers in mind, and following certain lifestyle guidelines, you can do a lot to protect your heart.

electric cars. That is less so in Trenton, and for both financial and health reasons that discrepancy needs to be addressed in order to avoid unjust imbalances. A policy manual, developed by the Net-Zero America Project, can be the necessary early step for both planning and comprehensive inclusion. Pacala noted that what is also essential is a national commission to evaluate who is at risk, financially and health wise, and how beneficial change can be introduced to those who need start-up assistance. The discrepancies existing in communities with regard to these capabilities need to be mapped out in order to understand the scope of the problems. But then a system of block grants for those in need must also be established. The mechanism for this is a green bank for loans to communities, businesses, and individuals – something that President Joe Biden has a plan for, and which needs to enlist support. Thus, Professor Pacala and others have charted necessary roads ahead. As with the national response to the coronavirus, which responses will be supported, and to what extent, remains to be seen.

“The third point, the addition to acoustic wall, is the most significant change that will reduce the sound and noise emanating from the facility. The acoustic wall will either be an acoustic metal panel system similar to what we are putting around the transformer or it will be a concrete wall with an acoustic plaster,” he said. “The second point of reducing the size of the acoustical louvers is related to the third point.” The original design of the louvers was screened by a perforated metal panel to reduce the free air going through the louvers. By adding the acoustic wall the project no longer needed the screen and could reduce the size of the louvers. The proposed construction of TIGER energy and athletics operation facility is on five acres of land located on the east side of Fitzrandolph Road between Faculty Road and 185 Broadmead St. The building structure and exterior equipment yard are more than 40,000 square feet. Along with the main building the project includes two thermal energy storage (TES) tanks to the south of the project. The tanks are used to store water that will heat and cool the campus, according to application documents. Residents during public comment on Feb. 18 raised concerns about the location of the proposed project and changing sound decibel estimates presented by the university. Gary Bass, a parent of a UNOW child, asked why the facility could not be located next to DeNunzio Pool. “That seems to be an option that would allay my concerns. I am troubled by the noise estimates that keep moving to me that suggests that we do not know how noisy it will be when the building is done,” he said. McCoy said the campus master plan is a flexible framework and the university would make adjustments to evolving needs. “To the point that the campus master plan that showed the facility located at the base of the potential flyover, we began to realize that saving the land at the base of the flyover was a higher opportunity site that should be held in reserve to serve the unpredicted needs of the institution,” he said. “A building like this which is really unmanned and quiet and does not have traffic in and out would be well suited for the Fitzrandolph site.” The senior acoustical consultant for the project, Julie Fischer, responded to the concern of the changing noise estimates by stating that the numbers have changed due to the evolution of the design throughout the process of the building being designed. “The change in the numbers from what we are seeing at the last planning board meeting and this planning board meeting is because we are adding a design element

he last remaining artifact in the window of the now defunct Landau’s Woolens store on Nassau Street in Princeton is an Albert Einstein poster with the message: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” As a self-described techno-moron when it comes to my knowledge of how things work, I am a genius at appreciating technology-based imagination – particularly the way technology works to enhance my appreciation of the arts. The melding of arts and innovative technology became apparent last week when my friend Princeton artist Ryan Lilienthal, who also is an immigration and family attorney, sent me an email announcing his latest exhibition: “The Mueller Report, the Legal Case Against Roger Stone, and the DACA Legislative Briefs.” The virtual art show comprises several extremely imaginative sculptures, created by artist/lawyer Lilienthal, and all thematically related to contemporary Trump-era legal conundrums. Because of the pandemic, Ryan was unable to have an in-person art exhibit. So he launched it on his website as a 360 degree interactive installation – made possible by Princeton photographer, artist, and engineer Ricardo Barros. It is viewable at www.ryanlilienthal.com/360-degree-interactive-installation I never could tell you how they did it, but I can tell you to watch it and enjoy imagination at its most inspiring. Ryan, who now spends more time being an artist than being a lawyer, happens to be an award-winning painter, as well as a sculptor, who relies on imagination and technology, to explore concepts, particularly those that are dense in content and need more transparency. Ryan became “fascinated by the opaque and transparent qualities of pigment as a tool for amplifying representational art,” and it led him to explore conceptual art and sculpture. “The Mueller Report is a much talked about document that most people never have seen, nor have they seen any of the documents that make up the report, such as, an arrest warrant or an indictment. What I have tried to do is to give visibility to the documents and the words in the documents. For example, with the Roger Stone case, I convey the concepts and im-
plications of the case with stones. Each stone is encased in a collage of the words used in the different aspects of the Roger Stone case. The stones can be assembled into different shapes representing different aspects of the Roger Stone case, including a straight wall of stones representing a divided country,” Ryan said. But the real artistic masterpiece, in Ryan’s opinion, is the imagination of Ricardo Barros and his creative use of technology to come up with a “an exhibition that reflects Ricardo’s talents as much as mine. Ricardo brought my art to life. Even though it was the pandemic that drove me to seek creative ways to exhibit my works, the end product is masterful whether or not people are confined to their homes. The 360 exhibition just may be a new powerful, educational way to experience art at all times,” Ryan said. Ryan met Ricardo, when Ryan was taking art instruction from Ricardo’s wife Heather Barros, who is the founding director of Art Collaborations, an art school in Princeton offering year-round classes for children, teens, and adults. Ricardo Barros is a Princeton-based professional photographer and videographer with commercial and fine art clients that have included Grounds for Sculpture and Harvard University. As an FAA licensed drone pilot, he uses a drone to take high quality photographs and video for short documentaries and films. And he just received the news that he is a 2021 Fellowship recipient from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. Born in Brazil, he came to America when he was seven years old, obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees in engineering and ended up in New Jersey when he worked for the New Jersey Department of Transportation from 1980-96. “I was doing my art and photography in the evenings when I was working for the state. It was frustrating; I was unable to take time I needed to do it right,” Ricardo said. When he left his job at the state, the freedom fueled his creativity. Ryan’s exhibition is Ricardo’s third 360-tour presentation – his other 360 tours feature his own photography and the Morven Museum.

Ryan, while still painting portraits of friends, family and commissioned portraits, as well as his famous scenes of Princeton neighborhoods and community, is already imagining another artistic, legalistic, technological tour de force on the concept of privacy in our world of technology invasiveness. The right to privacy is not mentioned in the Constitution, but the Supreme Court has said that several of the amendments create this right. Ryan is already
scheming how to take this concept of technological invasion of privacy and translate it into a work of art – one that would be masterfully conveyed to the public by Ricardo. Perhaps we can convince Einstein to enhance his words of wisdom: “Imagination is more important than knowledge – and is key to gaining knowledge.” For more information, visit https://ricardobarros.com/ or www.ryanlilienthal. com/360-degree-interactive-installation.
Proposal Continued from Page 4A in the shape of a long large barrier wall that would be between the louvers and UNOW facility,” she said. The sound levels between 45-50 dba (decibels) from all equipment operating simultaneously were being predicted in the range of the UNOW Nursery School prior to the improve changes presented that were presented. With noise and sound improvements they predict sound levels between 35-40 dba, according to the presentation. In addition to those concerns, residents also pushed for the university to make a commitment to adjustments if the numbers prove wrong for UNOW and the nearby residences. Representatives for the university did not agree to a guarantee or commit to anything in writing requested by several of the residents at the hearing. “We are happy with the redesign and think it is great, but we want a condition in there by the planning board that they stick to the numbers, because I think most of us are satisfied if the numbers do not move,” Princeton resident Todd Cronan said.
Attorney Christopher DeGrezia, of law firm Faegre Drinker Biddle and Reath, who is representing Princeton University, said the university takes the issue very seriously and continues to do and volunteer ideas well beyond expectations. “We have heard testimony that we will comply with (about) the nuisance code and the state noise code. The modeling shows the noise/sound levels will be substantially less,” he said. If approved, the university is expected to open the completed TIGER and athletics operation facility in December 2022. This proposed one-story TIGER facility is the latest proposed project from Princeton University that is before the planning board for review, as the university moves forward with its plans to develop the East Campus. The university’s planned developments include an East Campus Garage, new Princeton Soccer stadium and practice field, and the current proposal of a geoexchange resource and athletic operations facility.

Alison (Min) Flemer 1930-2021 Alison (Min) Flemer is off on a new adventure. Her body has not let her do this in some time. Her daughters Janet Flemer, Kate Barrack and Rebecca Flemer are grateful that she is free. She leaves behind five grandchildren – Wilkie, John and Jennifer Barrack, Ana and Jeffrey Clemente, granddaughter-in-law Mary Beth Barrack and one great granddaughter, Riley Elizabeth Barrack. Min was born in Australia in 1930 and passed February 16, 2021. She met her beloved husband John while living in London. Always up for a new experience, she took weekend trips while there, and they met on a ferry boat to the Isle of Skye in 1956. They were engaged three weeks later on a Vespa in Paris. They had 25 beautiful years together in Princeton. She filled the house with art, creating much of it herself. The family traveled to Puerto Rico, Canada, Europe and Australia, and Min and John had their own trips together. Min involved herself with gardening groups, Recording for the Blind, and art. She joined Friends of Foreign Students, hosting Princeton grad students from Australia and New Zealand who remain devoted friends. After John passed suddenly in 1982, Min began spending half the year in Vieques, Puerto Rico. She made deep and lasting friendships there to add to her Princeton group. She took on several formidable renovation projects, built a renowned garden, supported local organizations and became a beloved part of the tight knit community there. She continued her adventures and traveled with friends and her daughters until ill health kept her close to home. A memorial service will be held at a later date due to COVID-19 restrictions. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be sent to The Vieques Conservation & Historical Trust or a charity of their choice.

new 530e is 288 horsepower at 310 pound feet of torque – an increase of 40 horsepower over previous 530e models. Additionally, a high voltage lithium-ion battery module is on board to provide storage capacity for electric only driving. This truly is a versatile vehicle. The base price of the rear wheel drive model I tested is $57,200. Added options on the tester included: $2,500 for the M Sport Package; $1,850 for the premium package; $1,700 for driver assistance plus; $1,000 for a luxury seating package; $800 for a parking assist package; $500 for a shadowline package; $650 M Sport brakes; $190 for a heated steering wheel; $2,500 for Ivory White Nappa leather; $500 for Phytonic Blue Metallic paint and $995 for destination and delivery. According to the EPA estimates, this vehicle gets a combined 26 miles per gallon city and highway driving when its driven as a gasoline only vehicle. The EPA also estimates that it can get a whopping 64 miles per gallon when driven as a combined electric and gas vehicle on a three hour charge. The EPA estimates that the annual average fuel cost of driving the 530e to be a very impressive $1.450. When fully charged this 530e has an “all electric” range of 21 miles. There’s the rub folks. Thus far, my experience with pure electric vehicles has been somewhat positive. However, currently, you have to spend too much time at the charging station and the range of these vehicles if you are using the pure electric mode is limited. I’m all for a world of zero emissions automobiles, but, truth be told, in order for the general automotive motoring public to fully embrace this new all electric technol-
ogy, the car makers are going to have to find out a way to recharge these electric vehicles faster. On top of that, once fully charged, these pure electric vehicles are going to have to have a much larger driving range then what’s currently available on the market. My guess is, they will figure out a way to get it done. According to the EPA’s fuel economy and environment ratings this version of the 530e gets an 8 out of 10 rating for fuel economy and greenhouse gas ratings and a 7 out of 10 smog rating. Overall, beyond all of the dizzying aspects of the new powertrain technology, this BMW still behaves like a thoroughbred BMW. It’s smartly designed, sporty, fun to drive and luxurious at the same time. The 2021 BMW 5 series is the 7th generation of the 5 series sedan. The exterior of the 2021 features a new kidney grille with resculpted headlamps. The new grille is taller and wider. While most of the exterior and interior dimensions remain the same for 2021, the 2021 5 series sedan is 1.2 inches longer. The M Sport package benefits from redesigned front and rear bumpers, larger front air intakes with mesh inserts and a resculpted rear diffuser panel. The interior of the 2021 5 series now features an almost two-inch larger digital instrument display touchscreen for controlling navigation, music, phone and almost all other car functions. I find BMW’s iDrive 7 touchscreen and voice controlled system to be one of the best around once you get to what could seem at first to be a confusing system.

LetterS to the editor
Princeton Community Housing is keeping its senior residents safe
We are responding to a Letter to the Editor recently submitted by Brenda Considine (Princeton Community Housing needs to keep seniors safe, Princeton Packet, Feb. 12) regarding her concerns about our elevator replacement project at Elm Court. We appreciate Ms. Considine’s concern for her mother. The health and safety of her mother and the other residents of Harriet Bryan House and Elm Court are indeed our foremost objectives. We would like to provide a few pieces of information to assure the community that we do indeed take resident safety and open communication very seriously. For context, the elevator that we are replacing at Elm Court is original to the building. It is not a repair or an upgrade – it is a replacement. The elevator model is obsolete, and most repair parts are no longer available. Replacement is the only option. It has been inspected by professionals, and while not considered a danger, the possibility of the elevator ceasing to function unexpectedly is a real possibility. Such a sudden loss of function would cause a much lengthier period of down time versus the current, planned replacement. We have been advised that the safest course of action would be to replace the elevator as soon as possible. It is true that the replacement of the elevator may necessitate some second floor Elm Court residents to walk to the connected Harriet Bryan House building (via a new indoor hallway connection) to use one of the two elevators there. However, we do not believe that individuals passing by one another in the hallway, whether there is a replacement project or not, represents a threat to health or safety. Indeed, CDC guidelines for contact tracing suggest
that someone needs to be within 6 feet of a person with the virus for 15 minutes to be at-risk. The hallways themselves are well ventilated and residents are required to wear masks in the common areas of the facility, including hallways. Our guidelines already require that only one person be in the elevator at a time, unless occupants are from the same household, and that social distancing be used in the infrequent instance where there could be a wait for the elevator. Elevator utilization is relatively low right now. As Ms. Considine notes, most of our residents are sheltering in place and receiving services at home during the pandemic. This means that the risk of comingling around the operating elevator is also relatively low. In order to further reduce the risk of any possible transmission, we have planned to increase the surface disinfection rates inside and around the area of the elevators during the term of the replacement project. In addition, we have arranged for all residents of Elm Court and Harriet Bryan House to have the opportunity to receive their first Covid-19 vaccination prior to the commencement of the elevator replacement. The second dose will be available for all residents prior to the completion of the project. The mission of Princeton Community Housing has been and always will be to provide safe housing for its residents. Much thought and planning has gone into this project, including consulting with outside experts. We believe this project will be done in a way that both enhances the safety of our facility and protects our residents. Edward Truscelli Princeton Community Housing Princeton
Bank Street residents support
Graduate Hotel, but object to variances
All of the homeowners on Bank Street in Princeton who shared comments and objections with the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment and the hotel group in the meetings leading up to the vote on Feb. 8 have something in common: we all agree that the proposed Graduate Hotel will positively impact the Central Business District. Our intent was never to stop the project. However, we did object to four of the seven variances sought by GPNJ Owner LLC. Those variances dealt with the structure’s height, which will increase from 32 to 65 feet, the 10-foot setback required in a residential (and historic) zone, excessive floor area ratio, and not meeting parking space requirements. Each separate variance was related to the other. If one variance were denied or changed, it would have brought the other two or three variances closer to compliance with town ordinances. And the Bank Street neighbors
would have supported the changes. Zoning ignored Bank Street testimony, including a proposal to step down the north portion of the building. They ignored the SPRAB and the Princeton Historic Preservation Commission recommendations for Bank Street impacts, as well as traffic, sun, parking and noise studies. Insignificant was the message from GPNJ, and the board accepted. During the executive session, some board members expressed concern for the neighbors, and for a brief moment, it seemed that they might press the developer for changes. But when the vote came, the Zoning Board of Adjustment unanimously chose not to make adjustments. As I said before, we all support a hotel in the Central Business District, and our objections, as they were, still stand. William Gray Princeton

lic health. Princeton focuses on teaching and research and created a clinical testing lab so it can pursue its fundamental mission despite the pandemic,” he said. “Princeton can — and is — making a difference during this pandemic through its research and teaching, not by becoming a health care provider.” Hotchkiss added that it is simply not true that the university can simply flip a switch and provide public health resources to tens of thousands of additional people. The university, since establishing an oncampus laboratory, has been conducting diagnostic testing for its students, faculty and staff. “It is important to note that the university’s limited medical infrastructure was designed primarily to provide care for university students on campus,” Hotchkiss said. “Given those limitations, the additional demands of operating a testing program for the university community — from distributing test kits to tracking results and many steps in between — have put a tremendous strain on the dedicated staff of University Health Services and staff across the university who are assisting with the program.” Additionally, regarding vaccinations, the university has not received any vaccine and does not know when it will, but does anticipate that when they do the university will have enough for undergrads, grad students, faculty, staff and retirees, and certain affiliated staff. “But that has not stopped the university from nonetheless collaborating with the local officials with regard to vaccines, storing doses in our specialized cold storage facilities, hosting community clinics on campus because we have suitable space for what are somewhat complicated events, and assisting with the staffing of these clinics,” Hotchkiss said.
By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
In mid-February, Princeton University students and Princeton community members gathered on campus to urge that the university share its COVID-19 resources. Designed to make the community voice a central focus at the demonstration on Feb. 13, groups such as Princeton Mutual Aid (PMA), Princeton Anti Austerity Coalition (PAAC), Princeton Graduate Students United (PGSU) and Unidad Latina En Acción (ULA) expressed demands for further university resources to be expanded or made available to Princeton community residents and surrounding municipalities. Those demands included the expansion of free COVID-19 testing to residents of Princeton, which would include the undocumented, underinsured and uninsured residents; provide free COVID-19 vaccinations to residents of Princeton and neighboring municipalities (Plainsboro, Lawrence, West Windsor, and Montgomery); and equal access to COVID-19 testing contact tracing, vaccination, and health benefits for contract workers as for full-time employees. Another demonstration between the local groups and organizations has not been announced, but Nymisha Nimmagadda of PMA said this month’s protest is not a oneand-done occurrence. “We will have a call soon to plan next steps. One of those next steps include working to engage university administrators in a conversation on some of our demands,” she added. “For PMA we have a public health sub group that is working on some of the biggest health needs within the community and where we can work collaboratively as a community in supporting them.” One of the recurring points from the com-

munity that PMA had been hearing general concerns of COVID-19 and limited access to resources. “Also as we heard undergrads were coming back there was general concern in the community about what that meant in exposure to COVID-19. That kind of sparked the conversation for PMA and wanting to do something,” Nimmagadda said. “We had not had much communication or positive feed back from the university, so we happened to touch base with other organizations in town that were working on similar concerns and areas.” That would lead to an action group that formed between the various organizations, which led to organizing of the protest earlier this month. “From PMA’s point of view, we want the university to expand testing and vaccinations
to town and neighboring municipalities. We want them to provide more support regarding contract tracing efforts by the municipality and Princeton Health Department,” Nimmagadda added. “Those are the key points for PMA. It is really important that large institutions the size of Princeton that have their endowment take responsibility and is not unprecedented.” She spotlighted University of California, Davis, Tufts University and University of Wisconsin as universities that have provided COVID-19 resources to their communities. Deputy Princeton University Spokesperson Michael Hotchkiss pointed to the university being an educational institution first and not a hospital, a health care provider, or a commercial clinical lab. “And unlike many of its peers, it does not have a medical school, or a school of pub-

The Arts Council of Princeton’s public art presence continues with the display of “Untitled 2017 (Fear Eats the Soul) (White Flag)”. The piece, on loan from artist Rirkrit Tiravanija, is a black and white adaptation of the American flag, superimposed by the words “Fear Eats the Soul”.
Tiravanija’s piece was created as part of Creative Time’s Pledges of Allegiance, a nationwide public art project that commissioned 16 flags, each created by acclaimed contemporary artists. Each flag embodies art’s ability to channel political passion, points to an issue the artist is passionate about, and speaks to how the country might move forward collectively.
