Witherspoon Street transformation seeks to aid reopened businesses By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

Princeton officials and local organizations have adapted Witherspoon Street for local outdoor dining, as New Jersey moves ahead in phase two of the state’s reopening plan. The street transformation is not only for outdoor dining but for curbside pickup locations. Witherspoon Street now features repurposed parking spaces as outdoor dining locations and designated areas of curbside pickup for food, retail stores and businesses. Along with designated areas, the northern part of the street has been made into a one-way between Nassau Street and Spring Street. The southbound portion of Witherspoon Street is now stop-controlled from Spring Street. According to Princeton, modifications to Witherspoon will be in place for a maximum of 120 days. “I don’t need to reiterate what has been publicized nationally; the devastation the COVID pandemic has wreaked and continues to do so, on our businesses, our employees and their families,” said Jack Morrison, president of Princeton Merchant Association. “With no end in sight, the idea of opening our business doors by utilizing and expanding outside public and private space is a life line and hopefully a chance to begin to bring back those who have been laid off.” Additional bicycle racks have

also been installed. Township officials, Princeton Merchants Association, Arts Council of Princeton, Sustainable Princeton, Princeton University, and local businesses collaborated to help the reopening of businesses on Witherspoon Street. “Enhancing and expanding outside dining, retail and accommodating curbside is a national trend. The modifications to our town reflects a great collaboration of businesses, community stake holders of all walks, and our local government,” Morrison said. “A big shoutout goes to Councilwoman Michelle Lambros, who gathered the ‘cats,’ so to speak, created a plan, checked the

boxes and ultimately created the framework for the improvements we see today.” Social distancing guidelines and requirements continue to be in effect as Witherspoon Street businesses reopened. “Please make a point for the rest of 2020 and beyond to support any and all local businesses, institutions and non-profits in our community,” Morrison said. Princeton’s modifications to Witherspoon come as Gov. Phil Murphy has recently announced July 2 as the date when indoor dining at restaurants can resume at 25% of their indoor capacity.

Owner Michele Moriello of La Mezzaluna, an Italian restaurant located northbound on Witherspoon, said he is hoping for a additional step to the recent modifications to the street. “I want to close the northbound portion of the street, but at least we got this. I was one of the biggest promoters to do the modifications we have now,” he said. “Michelle Lambros was a big part of this getting done. My hope is to close this middle piece here and make it become a big attraction for the town. What we have now is good already, but I am looking for more.” Moriello added that it is too

early to tell if the changes added an increase in foot traffic, because the modifications are so new or people are now just coming out of their homes since adhering to previous stay-at-home orders. “We are already going to return to the financial profits we had prior to the pandemic. We had a great week last week and this week is going well too,” he said. Kilwins is another business also located on the northbound portion of Witherspoon Street. The business provides chocolates, ice cream and confections for patrons. Taylor Frye, owner of the Princeton location, said overall the modifications look great and are bringing some people downtown. “We opened at the end of September. We are kind of the new kids on the block and I don’t have a really good idea of what the summer looks like without the pandemic,” he said. “What I have seen so far is really nice. I think the restaurants have done a great job at putting the tents and seating out there.” He added that the changes are catching people’s eyes. “Not that Witherspoon did not have a lot of foot traffic under normal circumstances. I think the modifications give people more security in walking around. They can cross the street easier,” Frye said. “Personally, I’m ready for stuff to start returning to normal. Safety is still the No. 1 goal. We are still screening employees, everyone is wearing masks and we have a sanitization schedule.”

Princeton Juneteenth Block Party: A day of celebration, remembrance, activism

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

Six young organizers produced the first-ever public observance and celebration of Juneteenth in Princeton. Billed as a celebration of the cultural achievements of Black Americans and a commendation of the Black Lives Matter movement, it was a day of solidarity, celebration and action on June 18 at the Princeton Family YMCA field. The program began with a land acknowledgment of the Lenni Lenape peoples, followed by a mass kneeling for 8 minutes 46 seconds to recognize Black lives lost to centuries of racist state and nonstate violence. A Juneteenth proclamation, requested of Mayor Liz Lempert by organizer Valeria Torres-Olivares, was read by Princeton Council members Leticia Fraga and Dwaine Williams, according to information provided by Savory PR. “This is not a moment. This is a movement,” emphasized the organizers, Valeria Torres-Olivares (Princeton University), Kyara Torres-Olivares (Princeton High School), Imani Mulrain (Princeton University), Mutemwa Masheke (Princeton University), Hilcia Acevedo (Princeton University) and Aba Smith (Princeton High School).

Speakers and performers included DJ Darius the 1st; Gillian Scott; the Rev. Lukata Mjumbe, Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church; Chaundra and Sheena Cameron; Delano Whitfield; Gillian and Reanna Bartels-Quansah; John Thompson; Imani Mulrain; Dr. Ruha Benjamin; and David Underwood. “Juneteenth is a reminder of a celebration that was simultaneously delayed and denied even as it was declared. On June 19, 155 years ago, enslaved people discovered that they had been emancipated,” Mjumbe said in the statement. “One hundred fifty-five years later we are still discovering that we have yet to fully realize our freedom. I valued the opportunity to participate in the Princeton Juneteenth. I see it as yet another opportunity to engage and to be engaged by those who are interested in rediscovering and rededicating themselves to a continuing struggle for freedom.” In observance of Juneteenth culinary traditions featuring red foods, organizers served fresh

strawberries, raspberry eclairs donated by The Little Chef, and red velvet cupcakes and mixed berry beignets from Cafe Au Pain. The event also featured two small businesses owned by Black women, Dolly Ocholla of Amani African Jewelry, and Nakeisha

Holmes-Ammons, of Aukhmi Tefnut-Herbal Blend Tea, according to the statement. Three sponsors had tables: Princeton Community Democratic Organization, Princeton Public Library (PPL), and the Arts Council of Princeton. The PPL

Princeton police chief announces retirement effective Oct. 1 By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Princeton Police Chief Nicholas Sutter is retiring Oct. 1, capping a 25-plus year career that began as a patrolman with the former Princeton Borough Police Department and that ends with his leadership of the Princeton Police Department. The former Princeton Borough Police Department and the former Princeton Township Police Department merged into the Princeton Police Department when the two towns consolidated in 2013. Sutter said the decision to retire, which he said was “bittersweet,”

comes after many months of discussion with family, friends and colleagues. As a result of those discussions, Sutter said, “it led me to the decision that this was the right time for my family, the department and me. “Leading this department for over seven years has been the culmination of a lifelong dream. My colleagues have become my extended family, and it is the men and women of this department and my friendships with all of them that have made this decision so difficult,” Sutter said. The Princeton Police Depart-

ment was built on a “one town, one vision” philosophy when consolidation occurred in 2013, he said. The new police department had a solid mission, honorable values, progressive and innovative ideas and processes, “but most of all, it was built by the finest men and women law enforcement has to offer,” he said. The Princeton Police Department is positioned to focus on the challenges facing it, as well as the changes that law enforcement is “undoubtedly” going to experience in the United States, Sutter said. “Our officers deserve consis-

The Princeton Police Department’s leadership is prepared to continue the type of forward thinking and positive change that has been advocated for more than seven years, Sutter said. “I will work with the department leadership, municipal administration, Mayor Liz Lempert and members of Princeton Council to ensure that this transition is seamless,” Sutter said.

LOOSE ENDS

By Pam Hersh

Raising awareness for lung cancer

Ultra-endurace athlete Isabella de la Houssaye, a Lawrence Township resident, at the conclusion of her recent 45-day, 3000-mile, ocean-to-ocean bike ride to raise awareness of the need to do a better job in treating and diagnosing lung cancer.

wo weeks ago, I received an email from my friend Isabella de la Houssaye asking me to join her friends and family on a race team participating in the Penningtonbased Watershed Institute’s “Solstice Run” to protect and restore clean water. The event would be virtual – each registrant would commit to walking one mile or running 5K, 10K or 15K. Everyone on Isabella’s team would reconvene at the end of the day for a virtual Zoom party. I hadn’t heard from her for a while. She had a couple of good reasons for being out of touch. Isabella had just completed a logistically challenging (because of the COVID pandemic) 3,000-mile bike ride with her husband David Crane. In 45 days from mid-March through April, they rode from from sea to shining sea to raise awareness of a lethal disease – not COVID-19, but rather lung cancer. Following her Facebook posts, I knew all about her physical feat, as well as her unrelenting advocacy for early diagnostics and improved treatments for lung cancer, which takes the lives of 158,000 Americans a year. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths – and thus far is beating COVID-19 in annual deaths, not exactly a happy race to

win. In addition, the majority of cases (65%) occur among people who never have smoked. There is one other reason for Isabella being a little behind in keeping up with hundreds of emails from her friends. Isabella falls into that 65% “never-smokers” category with lung cancer, in Isabella’s case, Stage IV. The disease, which before diagnosis spread from her lungs to her brain and spine, and the demanding treatment regimen, however, have failed to stop her participation in ultra-endurance athletic events, including: riding her bike across the country; running marathons (generally ultra marathons); climbing mountains (most recently the peak of Aconcagua in the Andes); and competing (biking, swimming, running) in triathlete Ironman competitions. In addition, the 56-year-old Lawrence Township resident is a wife, a mother to five children, a former international lawyer with degrees from Princeton University (class of 1986) and Columbia University Law School, and the co-owner of Material Culture, an internationally respected auction house and emporium of art, antiques, crafts, furnishings, and architectural elements with a mission to be not only a successful retail business but also a vehicle for cultural educa-

tion. It takes my breath away just to write about and contemplate the pace and scope of her life and accomplishments. For Isabella, however, it is simply existential. “My cancer was stable for 18 months before it started progressing last fall. I had radiation but fully expected that when I went for my scans in February of 2020 there would be further progression. To my great surprise, the cancer was stable, and I told my oncologist: “between now and my next scans in 9 weeks I will bike across America to raise awareness for lung cancer. “He laughed and I know he thought I was crazy—but I went out and did it. A number of people told me to take more time to prepare and to set myself up for success, but one thing I’ve learned as a stage IV survivor—you don’t put off till tomorrow what you can do today. My last scans, taken after I completed my ride, did indeed show progression and I’m now in the process of trying to find a new trial and treatment. Had I waited to start my ride across America it might never have happened. You have to seize the day,” Isabella said. As a human being, Isabella is far more than an ultra-endurance athlete. She is simply an ultra humanitarian. Her athletic feats are generally for “causes” even when the charity has no life and death connection to her personally. She has instilled these values in her children, who also have made international media headlines with their ultra-endurance feats for charity. Environmental initiatives like that of the Watershed Institute are particular favorites. When I caught up with her, I told her how I wanted to write about her bike trip – the trials and tribulations and joys of the 45 days. Isabella was a bit reluctant and noted that all the details are on her Facebook posts and website blog www.bikebreathebelieve.org and other media coverage throughout the course of her trip. She did ask me, however, to do her a favor by disseminating the information about lung cancer. Of course, I agreed, but only if I also could print a particularly inspiring and timely message she delivered in a speech (by Zoom) at a conference on June 15 of the National Coalition of Cancer Survivors. “Whether you are trying to climb one of the Seven Summits, or bike 3,000 miles or get through a three-month chemotherapy regime—you need to make sure every bit of your energy is focused in a positive way to get you through the task at hand—you can’t afford to be diverting energy to managing fear and

All we really have is today—so you have to make the most of that day by staying present to it.” • Lung cancer takes the lives of 158,000 Americans a year, making it the leading cause of cancer deaths by far. • Lung cancer causes more deaths than breast, prostate, colon, liver and bladder cancers combined. • Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and the world. • More lives are lost each year to lung cancer than to colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers combined. • The risk of dying from lung cancer is 82% greater than the risk of dying from breast cancer. • Anyone can get lung cancer, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, or smoking history and increasingly people who have never smoked are being diagnosed with lung cancer. Only 35% of lung cancer patients are current or former smokers. • One in 16 people in the U.S. can expect to receive a lung cancer diagnosis. That’s one out of every 14 men, and one out of every 17 women. • The American Cancer Society estimates that about 228,820 new cases of lung cancer would be diagnosed in 2020. • Lung cancer is rarely detected early on. Only 19 percent of all people diagnosed with lung cancer will survive five years or more, but if it’s caught before it spreads, the chance for five-year survival improves to 55%. • Lung cancer receives the least federal research funding per cancer-related death. • Only six percent of federal government dollars spent on cancer research are spent on lung cancer research. • Lung cancer research needs an investment that matches the impact of the disease. • Strategic investment in lung cancer research will ensure patients the same promise that is now available for breast, prostate, colorectal, and other cancers — earlier detection, more effective treatment options, higher quality of life, and thousands of lives saved. • For more lung cancer statistics visit https://lungevity.org/for-supporters-advocates/ lung-cancer-statistics

Treatment for Sinus Problems Can Restore Quality of Life

n a good day, you probably don’t give your sinuses a lot of thought. But when a severe cold, sinus infection or other nasal condition develops, these hollow cavities around your eyes and nose can feel bigger than your entire head and cause enough pain to send you crawling back under the covers. Sinus trouble is not uncommon, but if you suffer from a cold for more than 10 days, or if your symptoms worsen, you should consider seeing a sinus specialist. Too often, people live with sinus problems that can be resolved easily with medical treatment. Understanding Sinusitis The sinuses are air-filled spaces in the skull, located behind the forehead, nasal bones, cheeks, and eyes. When these spaces are clear, mucus is able to drain out and air is able to flow through. Sinusitis – or technically rhinosinusitis – is a condition in which the lining of the nose and sinuses becomes swollen or inflamed causing blockages that can lead to congestion and infection. There are many different things that can trigger sinusitis, including allergens, non-allergic pollutants, cigarette smoke, viruses, and anatomic abnormalities such as polyps or a deviated nasal septum. Other factors that may contribute to sinus inflammation include hormonal reactions associated with pregnancy, aging, medication misuse, and medication reactions. An estimated 31 million people in the United States have some form of sinusitis, according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology. Signs and Symptoms Sinusitis can be acute or chronic. Acute sinusitis can last up to four weeks, while chronic sinusitis is present for three months or longer. In addition, people can suffer from repeated bouts of acute sinusitis. This is referred to as recurrent acute sinusitis and occurs when a patient has repeated acute sinus infections, but is relatively symptom-free between infections. Symptoms of chronic sinusitis are largely the same as those of acute sinusitis though they may be milder and last longer than 12 weeks. Symptoms include facial pain or pressure, headaches, nasal stuffiness, diminished sense of smell, postnasal drip and sore throat, fatigue, fever, dental pain, bad breath, thick or green/yellow nasal discharge. Diagnosis and Treatment Sinusitis is typically diagnosed by a physical exam in which your doctor will look in your nose for signs of

inflammation and infection or masses such as polyps. Additionally, you may be referred to an otolaryngologist, a doctor who specializes in ear, nose and throat problems, for further evaluation. This evaluation often includes a focused head and neck examination, a nasal endoscopy to allow direct visualization of the sinus drainage areas, and imaging studies, if necessary. Other testing such as allergy and immunology, may be ordered as well. Sinusitis can often be treated with over-the-counter medicines, including nasal sprays, allergy medications, saline rinses, and decongestants. In other cases, prescribed medications may be needed. In cases of chronic conditions or recurrent acute infections that do not respond to medical treatment, and where it is believed that structural or anatomical problems contribute, patients may benefit from procedures and surgical interventions. A Minimally Invasive Procedure Candidates for surgery need to meet three criteria: their symptoms must be significant, have failed to improve with other extensive medical treatments, and there must be an anatomical contributing factor. In other words, there needs to be something structural that can be corrected, with a goal of moving or removing whatever is blocking the nose and sinuses from functioning properly. In most cases, surgery is minimally invasive and performed on an outpatient basis under endoscopic guidance. This lets the surgeon operate through the nostrils with small magnifying cameras which allow them to specifically target the areas that are causing the blockage. Procedures are designed to increase the opening in the nasal passages to improve breathing and airflow, and in the sinuses to remove polyps or other anatomical structures which impede sinus drainage. Recovery times vary from person to person, but for most people the discomfort will subside enough in a few days to where they are just using an over-the-counter pain reliever. Overall, there will be some discomfort for a week or two, and you will have a stuffy nose until the sinus swelling goes down. Thanks to advances in medicine, sinus surgery today is nothing like it was years ago when your nose needed to be packed after surgery. Today, patients can be back to normal life after just a brief down time. While sinus problems are common, leaving them untreated typically means living with unnecessary discomfort and pain. With a correct diagnosis and a comprehen-

Lukata Mjumbe, and Tommy Parker, chair of the Princeton Civil Rights Commission. The Arts Council of Princeton provided 200 disposable face masks and the stage. “Our gathering today is no less vital than the high energy protests of a people around the world who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The wonderful organizers of our gathering have crafted a world on this lawn for us to feel our tiredness, lay bare our grief, and express our joy,” Benjamin said in the statement. “True freedom, true freedom requires that we march inward as much as we march outward seeding the world we want in our spirits as much as in our systems. We need both of these movements to get free.” The event received funding from the Princeton University Lewis Center of the Arts and the Princeton University Art Museum.

Enamel may be the hardest substance in the human body, but it can be damaged, discolored, fractured, and worn. Fortunately, there is a way to treat damaged enamel with a substance that is harder (7 versus 5 on Mohs scale of hardness) and equally, if not more, beautiful. Toothcolored porcelain veneers can be used to change the size, shape, and color of damaged teeth by covering their outer surfaces with wafer-thin, custom-made porcelain shells. After removing an amount of enamel that is approximately equal to the thickness of the veneers, each dental veneer is permanently bonded in place. After polishing and sculpting each one to achieve a perfect fit, veneers can last 15-20 years or longer. Thanks to advances in modern cosmetic dentistry, there are many options

available to turn a less-thanattractive smile into a dazzling one. Don’t let the frustration of stained, chipped, cracked and otherwise imperfect teeth keep you from flashing a beautiful smile whenever you want to. Instead, let us be your gateway to a smile you will be glad to show. We’re located at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, and your healthy smile starts with a call to 609-924-8300. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.” “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!® and Invisalign®.”

Please e-mail your questions or comments to: drjamescally@yahoo.com P.S. In addition to porcelain, dental veneers can also be made from resin composite materials.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

The Princeton Packet 5A

www.princetonpacket.com

By Michele S. Byers

Looking back: 60 years of conservation in New Jersey

t’s hard to imagine New Jersey without its strong environmental bent and legacy. Over the past few decades, New Jersey has passed landmark regional planning laws, laws to protect wetlands and farmland, drinking water, air quality and funding for preserving open space, farmland and historic sites. But 60 years ago – the year the New Jersey Conservation Foundation was founded – this state we’re in was a far different place and its future was uncertain. Due to heavy industrial development from the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, New Jersey in 1960 was home to widespread air and water pollution. Smog filled the air in New York City and surrounding urban areas, shrouding buildings in a brownish-yellow haze. For decades, industrial chemicals had been dumped into rivers and buried in unregulated landfills, contaminating water and land. Raw sewage was often discharged into rivers and the ocean. Federal and state regulations controlling air and water pollution were weak back in 1960. Still a decade away were the first Earth Day, the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and passage of federal Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. In rural areas of New Jersey and beyond, the harmful pesticide DDT was still used on farm crops. The state’s population was six million, growing rapidly and fleeing from cities to the suburbs and countryside – raising public concern about over-development and a pending shortage of land for conservation and recreation. The environmental movement had started to take root in the Garden State, as people became increasingly alarmed about the health impacts of dirty air and water. Although the word “environment” was not yet part of the common vocabulary, New Jersey newspapers in 1960 were filled with stories of pollution and calls for action. And citizens were taking action. The state’s first watershed organization, the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association (now known as the Watershed Institute) was founded in 1949 by citizens

concerned about agricultural runoff, soil erosion and stream sedimentation. As time went on, the Pennington-based group embraced a broader clean water mission. Using the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association as a model, citizens to the north founded the Upper Raritan Watershed Association and South Branch Watershed Association in 1959 to advocate for clean water and controls on development. Many other watershed groups followed. As 1959 drew to a close, explosive news rocked residents in the rural communities surrounding the pristine Great Swamp in Morris and Somerset counties. A scoop in the Newark Evening News revealed that the powerful Port Authority had secretly hatched a plan to build an international “jetport” covering 10,000 acres of the swamp. The Great Swamp Committee, which later became the New Jersey Conservation Foundation, formed in early 1960 to fight the airport proposal. The committee came up with a secret plan of its own: quietly buying up enough land to convince the U.S. Department of the Interior to establish a national wildlife refuge in the Great Swamp. An affiliated group, the Jersey Jetport Site Association, fought the airport plan on the legislative front. While the “Battle of the Great Swamp” was raging, other changes in the environmental landscape were afoot. In 1961, worried about an increasing population and dwindling open space, the state Legislature proposed the first Green Acres bond issue to preserve conservation and recreation lands. “I regret that we didn’t get to this program sooner,” said then-Assemblyman (and later state Senator) Raymond Bateman. “Already, New Jersey is the most urban state in the nation. As our available land is getting chopped up by development in the years to come, the job of proper park, recreation and conservation development will be prohibitive in cost – and perhaps even impossible.” Green Acres land preservation turned out to be an extremely popular cause. The first $60 million ballot question was passed overwhelmingly by voters in November 1961, as was every other Green Acres

question in the following six decades. And the 1964 Farmland Assessment Act was key to preserving New Jersey’s farms, allowing agricultural land – and, eventually properly managed forest land – to be taxed at a lower rate than residential and commercial lands. Another environmental milestone of the era was the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring,” which detailed the decline of bird populations from the overuse of pesticides, especially DDT. The amount of DDT found in human tissue was also rising. “Silent Spring” helped catalyze the environmental movement, but it would take until 1972 for DDT to be banned in the United States. It would take decades for affected bird populations in New Jersey, including bald eagles, to recover from the effects of DDT.

The “Battle of the Great Swamp” was won in 1964, when the U.S. Department of the Interior dedicated the first 3,000 acres of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. The Great Swamp Committee changed its name to the North Jersey Conservation Foundation in 1965, and to the New Jersey Conservation Foundation in 1974, to reflect a broadened scope of work. New Jersey is now a national leader in environmental protection and land preservation, but still faces many challenges, including federal rollbacks of critical laws protecting clean air, clean water, wildlife and public conservation lands.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Principal thanks participation of fire departments in distributing caps and gowns I am writing this letter today out of gratitude and appreciation for the kindness showed by the West Windsor Fire Department and the Princeton Junction Fire Department. Both of these fire departments willingly supported the WWPHS South Class of 2020 by allowing us to hang a banner on their ladder truck during our cap and gown distribution. The students and their parents were so excited to to be greeted by teachers and the school banner as they entered the parking lot. Almost all students and parents took pictures/videos, the sight actually moved some parents to tears. This event would not have been the same without the help of the fire departments. Â This has been a challenging school year especially for our Class ofÂ 2020, but the six hours of time donated by the local fire departments and their vehicle helped make the cap and gown distribution a special occasion for them.

Be aware of important changes to the New Jersey Primary Election The League of Women Voters of the Princeton Area reminds the public of changes to the upcoming July 7 Primary Election. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this election will be conducted primarily with mail-in ballots with limited in-person voting options available. Here is a summary of the changes in place for this election: How to get a ballot: â&#x20AC;˘ You should be receiving your mail-in ballots very soon. The ballots will automatically be sent by county election offices to all active registered Republican and Democratic voters and have prepaid postage. â&#x20AC;˘ You must be affiliated with a political party to vote in a primary election. All unaffiliated voters and inactive Republican and Democratic voters will receive a voteby-mail application. It will have pre-paid postage. â&#x20AC;˘ The deadline to apply by mail to receive a mail-in ballot is June 30. Your county clerk must receive mailed applications by that date. How to vote using your mail-in ballot: â&#x20AC;˘ You can return your mail-in ballot by

placing it in your mailbox using the U.S. Postal Service. The ballot must be postmarked on or before July 7 and received by the Board of Elections by 8 p.m. on July 14 to be considered â&#x20AC;˘ There will also be some secure ballot drop box locations in each county. Specific locations of these boxes will be announced by the county clerks in the next few weeks. If you submit your mail-in ballot using a drop box, you must return the ballot on or before July 7 prior to 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;˘ You can also return your mail-in ballot in person to your county Board of Elections by 8 p.m. on July 7. Can I vote at a polling place? â&#x20AC;˘ Each municipality will have some polling places, but there will be fewer than the normal amount, as voting by mail is strongly recommended for public health reasons. â&#x20AC;˘ Polling place locations will be announced June 15 and voters will receive mailed notification of polling locations. Voters will not receive sample ballots. â&#x20AC;˘ CDC guidelines for polling place safety and sanitation will be followed. Those who vote at polling locations will

Cohen has experience, competence, compassion The July 7 New Jersey primary election will be held with the backdrop of the COVID pandemic and massive economic uncertainties. We need to consider this backdrop as we look at Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming election for mayor and council. Experience, proven competence and compassion are needed to help Princeton deal with these issues. I believe that David Cohen, the Princeton Council president, embodies the qualities that we need at this difficult time. David was chosen to be council president in his first term on council â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a recognition of his leadership abilities. In this role, David has led the efforts to transition to virtual and online functioning during the pandemic. One example is the speed that Princeton moved to virtual Zoom public hearings for planning, zoning and historic preservation applications. He believes in collaboration and was able to work with staff, attorneys and his council colleagues to make this transition happen quickly. Those of us who value public participation are pleased that Princeton was one of the first municipalities to institute these important community functions after the COVID-19 shutdown began. The theme of Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first campaign for Princeton Council was Smart Growth. He has focused his energies on making Princeton a more walkable, transit-friendly community. He understands that sustainability needs to be implemented as policy and not just talked about as a goal. He served as the council liaison to Sustainable Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Climate Action Plan and is committed to making its recommendations a reality.

As an affordable housing advocate I am confident that David will continue Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing commitment to diversity and affordable housing. He served on the team that negotiated Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affordable housing settlement and I look forward to his leadership to ensure that the plan is implemented in a transparent and efficient manner. David has lived in Princeton with his wife Liz since 1987. They have raised three children who have benefited from our public schools. They have both been active in many social justice and environmental issues. At the present time many in our community are out of work and suffering due to the impacts of COVID-19. Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassion for others is evident in his decision to ask his supporters to make donations to local social service agencies rather than to his campaign. Usually campaign funds are spent on ads and lawn signs. We will not see these this year in Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign; rather we who have not been financially impacted are being asked to contribute to the many efforts in town to help our neighbors to pay their rent and feed their families. This type of sensitivity and compassion is what I look for in an elected official. It is one of the many reasons that I am pleased that David Cohen is running for reelection to the Princeton Council. I believe he will continue be a great asset. I hope you will join me in voting for him on July 7. Kathleen Cassidy Princeton

The Hun School offers customized summer enrichment courses for greater community Through the new Hun Adventures track, along with Hun Summer Session courses, the Hun School in Princeton has created a chance for students to remain intellectually stimulated, engaged and connected to their classmates and teachers throughout the summer unlike before. Open to all families, whether currently enrolled in the school or not, students have the choice to partake in Hun Adventures, which consists of three, 1-week long, project-based mini courses with a focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts math), business or humanities; or a 3-week long academic enrichment course; or an 8-week long credit course designed to appear on a student’s transcript. Ted Shaffner, Summer School director, said in a statement that the goal of this carefully crafted program is “to give students the space to progress to their next level

and build confidence while still experiencing what makes a Hun education unique.” Through Hun Summer School, he hopes students will discover their passions while learning skills in a fun and engaging environment. Much like on-campus classes, each course will maintain small class sizes with learning customized for each student. These options allow students to decide how they want to spend the upcoming months. For current and new families, The Hun School’s Board of Trustees is permitting all students to enroll in one online summer enrichment course at no cost. The first Hun Adventures session will run from June 29 to July 17. The next session will begin on July 20 and end on Aug. 7. The Hun Summer Session will run from June 22 to Aug. 14.

This Mazda 3 Hatchback comhas the mojo. petes with the Toyota Corolla and Guess what? It sure does. Overall, after a week of putting Honda Civic in its segment and I this compact hatchback through would say it stacks up better than

the Corolla and on par with the Civic. For the most part, buyers who are considering compact cars – especially hatchbacks – are generally of the younger crowd anyway. Case in point, my 21-year-old son thought the Mazda 3 Hatchback was “pretty cool”. For the record, the 2020 Mazda 3 Hatchback I tested for one week was the top of the line Premium Package edition with a base price of $28,900. The Premium Package edition comes standard with: active driving heads up display; adaptive front lighting system; leather seats; black finish alloy wheels; front and rear signature illumination; power sliding glass moonroof and paddle shifters. Additional options on my tester vehicle included: cargo mat ($100); illuminated door sill trim plates ($425); Soul Crystal Red Paint ($595); frameless auto dimming mirror ($275); Navigation SD card

($450); rear bumper guard ($125) and wireless charging pad ($275). When you add in the $920 for destination and delivery, the MSRP sticker price of my tester vehicle was $32,065. Mazda offers the Mazda 3 Hatchback in seven different models, both front wheel and all wheel drive. The base model, front wheel drive hatchback has a base price of $23,700. My top of the line all wheel drive, premium package model is considerably more at a base price of $28,900. Mazda redesigned the 3 Hatchback last year – giving it a sleeker, more sculpted and modern look. That look carries over to the 2020 Mazda 3. The outside and inside of this model is quite attractive, lending itself to a more expensive look and feel. Powering both the sedan and hatchback models of the Mazda 3 is only one engine choice, a 2.5 liter, four cylinder “sky active” engine that produces 186 horsepower, at 186 pound feet of torque. This engine is coupled with a six-speed sport mode automatic transmission. I found the engine and transmission combination in this vehicle to be adequate. When in the “sport” gear selector mode, there was ample power to accelerate or pass aggressively. The all wheel drive, drive train and suspension were well meshed. This vehicle holds its own in any type of inclement weather. Besides, my issues with hopping into and out of the car, once I was settled into the front seat, there is ample room upfront. The back seat configuration on the hatchback is a bit snug. Moreover, many car critics have pointed out that the rear window visibility is not the greatest on the hatchback design for this model. I would have to agree. The interior design and ergonomics are solid on the Mazda 3. It lends itself to a generally good quality feel.

2020 Ford Escape

However, I was not overly thrilled with the center console infotainment system, featuring a 8.8-inch, non-touch screen, color display. The system is controlled by a center console master switch. While the phone, music system and navigation sync up rather easily, I found the system to be cumbersome to use for what should be some easy tasks. The AM/FM Bose premium audio system – which comes standard on this model – with 12 speakers put out some impressive surround sound music, though. The EPA fuel economy ratings for this vehicle come in at 27 miles per gallon overall – 32 mpg in highway driving and 24 in city driving. The EPA estimates that the annual fuel cost for driving this vehicle comes in at about $1,500, as it uses 3.7 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven. This model Mazda 3 has not been rated yet for the government’s five star safety rating. If you choose the more expensive premium package model it comes loaded with a ton of neat standard features including: 18inch alloy wheels; power driver seat with lumbar; heated front seats; leather seats with a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob; rearview camera; rain sensing wipers; blue tooth; dual zone climate control and more. Many other car review critics have raved about the recently redesigned Mazda 3. The editors at Car and Driver give it high marks. And, U.S. News and World Report says: “The 2020 Mazda 3 sits near the top of our compact car rankings. Its engaging performance and upscale interior help it stand out in a highly competitive segment.”

Princeton amends ordinance pertaining to accessory dwelling units in single-family house By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

An ordinance that allows accessory dwelling units to be created in a singlefamily house or in a separate accessory building on the same lot has been introduced by the Princeton Council. The ordinance, which was introduced at the council’s June 15 meeting, is a consolidation of similar ordinances in the former Princeton Borough and former Princeton Township. The unit was called a secondary residence in Princeton Borough and a flat in Princeton Township and was permitted in a single-family house. A public hearing on the proposed ordinance has been set for the Princeton Council’s June 29 virtual meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. The proposed ordinance differs from the ordinances in the former Princeton Borough and former Princeton Township because it drops the requirement that the accessory dwelling unit can only be created in an owner-occupied single-family

house. It does not require the single-family house to be owner-occupied in order to create the accessory dwelling unit. Although there are new standards, such as a limit to the total square footage of the accessory dwelling unit and the number of rooms allowed, the ordinance will “grandfather” units that are already in place. They will not have to be modified to meet the new standards. Princeton Council President and Councilwoman Mia Sacks have been working on consolidating and update the zoning ordinances in the former Princeton Borough and Princeton Township. “We are really excited to introduce the ordinance, which is a continuation of provisions that already exist (in the former towns), but which modernizes and consolidates what is permitted and significantly relaxes what is permitted across the entire town,” Sacks said. “It is part of a variety of changes designed to modernize the standards of Princeton’s accessory dwelling unit regulations to reflect 21st-century life-

styles and housing needs.” The ordinance states that it will “support more efficient use of existing housing stock and infrastructure and provide sustainable housing options that respond to changing family needs, smaller households and increasing housing costs.” It will offer environmentally-friendly housing choices with less average space per person and smaller associated carbon footprints, and also provide accessible housing for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. An accessory dwelling unit is defined in the ordinance as an entirely self-contained portion of a single-family house or is lo-

cated in an accessory building on the same lot as the house, and is owned by the owner of the single-family house. An accessory building could be a detached garage. An accessory dwelling unit has its own kitchen and bathroom, and is limited to three rooms that total a maximum of 800 square feet, or 25% of the floor area of the principle dwelling unit – whichever is greater, according to the ordinance. If the accessory dwelling unit is barrierfree or handicapped accessible, the property shall be granted an increase of 5% of the total maximum floor area allowed and which can be applied to the principle dwelling unit or the accessory dwelling unit.

Changes to housing ordinance stem from lawsuit filed against zoning board, municipality By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

A proposed ordinance that permits accessory dwelling units to be created in single-family houses and which also drops the long-standing requirement that the house must be owner-occupied, in part grew out of a lawsuit filed against the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Municipality of Princeton. The ordinance, which was introduced by the Princeton Council at its June 15 meeting, is in part due to the lawsuit filed in January 2020 by 23 Leigh LLC. The lawsuit challenged the requirement in the former Princeton Township zoning ordinance that a flat, which is a self-contained unit with cooking facilities and a bathroom, must be occupied by the owner of the house – unless the owner lives in another part of the house. In a May 26 letter to Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson, the attorney representing 23 Leigh LLC – which owns 23 Leigh Ave. – wrote that the Princeton Council was working on an ordinance that would drop the owner-occupant requirement. It would replace the former Princeton Township zoning ordinance, which was in effect at the time of the May 26 letter. At the time that 23 Leigh LLC filed the lawsuit in January 2020, the zoning ordinance stated that “no flat shall be occupied unless the owner of the house at all times shall reside in the flat or in another part of the house,” according to the lawsuit. The former owner of 23 Leigh Ave. received permission in 1973 from Princeton Township to create a flat within the existing single-family house. The house was used as a single-family house with a flat until the owner lost it to a bank foreclosure in 2016. 23 Leigh LLC, which subsequently

acquired the property, received approval from the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment for variances to renovate and expand the house in 2018. The original application sought to convert the house into a two-family house. In July 2018, the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment granted the application to renovate and expand the house, on the condition that it would continue to be used as an owner-occupied, single-family house with a flat. It would not become a two-family house or duplex. But 23 Leigh LLC returned to the zoning board one year later in August 2019, following an Appellate Court ruling in a lawsuit filed against the Point Pleasant Beach Zoning Board of Adjustment. In that case, the zoning board made it a condition of approval that one unit of a two-family house in Point Pleasant Beach had to be owner-occupied. The Appellate Court rued in the Point Pleasant Beach lawsuit that under the state Municipal Land Use Law, a town’s zoning ordinance determines how the land is used and not who occupies it or uses it. Thus, the zoning ordinance cannot require one unit of a two-family dwelling to be occupied by the property owner. That is when 23 Leigh LLC applied to the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment to modify its earlier approval and remove the condition that one of the units at 23 Leigh Ave. must be occupied by the property owner. It requested that each unit could be separately owned and occupied by anyone, according to the lawsuit But in November 2019, the Princeton Zoning Board of Adjustment denied 23 Leigh LLC’s request to eliminate the owneroccupant requirement – and that is when 23 Leigh LLC filed the lawsuit against the zoning board and the town.

Quaker Bridge Mall to reopen fully By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

The Quaker Bridge Mall parking lot is mostly empty, but the Simon Property Group is hoping that it will begin to fill, now that Gov. Phil Murphy has given the go-ahead to open indoor shopping malls on June 29. The Quaker Bridge Mall will be open Monday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., and on Sunday from noon to 6 p.m. It is not known whether all 120 stores will open. The Quaker Bridge Mall has been closed to the public since March 17, when Murphy ordered indoor malls closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The nearly 1.1 million-square-foot mall is on Route 1 at Quakerbridge Road in Lawrence Township. Of the 120 stores listed on the Quaker Bridge Mall’s website, 19 stores have been offering curbside pickup of orders placed with them. Macy’s and JC Penney, which have outdoor access points, have been open for business. “Certainly, malls are part of New Jersey culture and lore. We want those businesses to get back up and running responsibly,” Murphy announced at his daily press conference June 18. Once the doors to the mall open, shoppers and store employees will be required to wear facial coverings. Free masks and sanitizing wipe packets for shoppers will be available at designated entrances and at the mall office, according to the Simon Property Group.

Dividers will be placed in entrances, separating shoppers entering and leaving the mall to encourage social distancing. Social distancing markers will be put in place on the floors in the Quaker Bridge Mall. Indoor stores will operate at 50% of capacity, and common areas, such as food courts, will be closed and cordoned off. If there are too many people, they will be asked to wait outside in their cars. They may be asked to stand in line and to comply with social distancing measures of standing at least six feet apart. In restrooms, every other sink and urinal will be taped off to encourage proper spacing. Soap and water will be made available to customers and employees. Hand sanitizer will be available, the Simon Property Group said. Store employees will be asked to selfscreen for COVID-19 symptoms. Employees’ body temperature will be checked and if it exceeds 100.4 degrees or they have exhibited flu-like symptoms in the last 72 hours, they will be sent home. Shoppers should also self-screen for symptoms and stay home if they do not feel well or if they have a temperature. Anyone who has shown flu-like symptoms in the previous 72 hours should stay home. The stores will regularly sanitize and disinfect high touch-point areas, such as counters, terminals and screens throughout the day. The stores and the mall will be sanitized and disinfected daily after closing, the Simon Property Group said.

Unity Awards from Not in Our Town Princeton recognize young people’s work to promote racial justice Just two days before hundreds of people in Princeton protested the death of George Floyd at the hands of police, more than 100 people gathered in a virtual ceremony hosted by Not in Our Town Princeton to honor 13 Princeton young people for their work promoting racial justice in their schools and communities. Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert, whose daughter Ella Norman was among the award winners, said the event is one of her favorite events of the year. “The world feels pretty broken right now, between COVID-19 and what is happening on our streets and in our cities,” Lempert said in a statement prepared by Not in Our Town Princeton. “To the Unity Award winners: you are shining a light and my hope is you keep shining that light.” Lisa Eckstrom, the assistant head of Princeton Charter School for grades 5-8, quoted “King Lear” by William Shakespeare. “At the end of the play, Edgar tells the audience that we must ‘speak what we feel, not what we ought to say,’ ” she said in the statement. “I want to say how grateful I am to Not In Our Town to create these awards for students who speak out through their words or actions.” Not in Our Town Princeton also presented a special Unity Award to Steve Cochrane, superintendent of Princeton Public Schools, who is retiring at the end

of the school year. Presenter Raisa RubinStankiewicz read the citation recognizing Cochrane’s accomplishments, which include an equity audit to evaluate areas where inequity exists, expansion of the preschool program, efforts to recruit staff at historically black colleges and universities, and championing of student wellness and mental health, according to the statement. The citation states that Cochrane “recognizes that a truly inclusive school district is one that values all its members and that in order to work toward equity, a superintendent must truly know, listen to, and be a part of their community.”

Cochrane encouraged the students to continue their racial justice work in their future lives. “There are two viruses in our country today: there’s the COVID virus and then there’s the virus of racism,” he said. “While people are still searching for a vaccine for COVID, the vaccine for racism is right here: It’s in the students we see today; it’s in your work, it’s in your vision. Hold onto that vision that you have that social justice can happen, that racism can be eradicated. You will be the change we want to see in the world,” he said during the virtual ceremony, according to the statement.

The following students won awards for their racial justice work: Michaela Guo, 12th grade, Princeton High School (PHS) Sneha Kumar, 8th grade, Princeton Charter School Khalil Benjamin, 11th grade, PHS Toniya Harris, 11th grade, PHS Sophia Huellstrunk, 11th grade, PHS Yani Ince, 11th grade, PHS Kenia Morales, 12th grade, PHS Sanyukta Prakash Mudakkanavar, 11th grade, PHS Ella Norman, 12th grade, PHS Gillian Bartels-Quansah, 11th grade, PHS Reanna Bartels-Quansah, 11th grade, PHS Skai Reynolds, 11th grade, PHS Aba Smith, 12th grade, PHS Raisa, Valeria Torres-Olivare and Salma Hashem, board members of Not in Our Town Princeton, moderated the event. Raisa is a senior at Princeton High School; Valeria and Salma are recent graduates. “Thank you for being with us, for standing as a symbol for the possibilities of our future,” Raisa said, according to the statement. Not in Our Town Princeton is a multiracial, multi-faith group of individuals who stand together for racial justice and inclusive communities.

Mon., August 10

Born in her home on August 29, 1925 in Farrell, PA, Rose was a first generation American raised by her parents in a bilingual home, fluent in English and Serbo-Croatian. She grew up in a richly multi-ethic small-town community where she enjoyed tap dancing, roller skating, hours of reading at the local library and commuting on foot about town. Graduating 1st in her class from Farrell High School in 1943 she was recruited and offered an academic scholarship to Youngstown College graduating with a B.S. in Chemistry in 1948 to become the first college graduate in her family. After college she attended the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin, Madison where she earned a Master of Science Degree in Zoology in 1951. She was just shy of a PhD in Biochemistry at Wisconsin, when her graduate work was disrupted to return home to care for her dying mother. In 1952 she met the love of her life Bill Bonini in Madison at a Geology graduate-student party. They married on December 4, 1954 at the Georgetown Lutheran Church, in Georgetown, Washington, DC. The newlyweds settled in Princeton, NJ where Bill was on the faculty at Princeton University and raised their four children. At age 50 after their youngest child started school full-time, Rose went back to work and had a rewarding career as Manager of Information Services at Carter-Wallace research laboratories in Cranbury, NJ where she used her extensive science background to do on-line medical and pharmaceutical document research and indexing as their research librarian. She was always deeply grateful for her career at Carter-Wallace. During her years in Princeton she enjoyed membership in the Princeton University League, the League’s Garden Club, the Orchid Society, and her community Bridge Club. In their younger days Bill and Rose were regulars at all the home Princeton football and basketball games. Together, they loved the arts, collecting original artwork that filled the walls of their home, and attending the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. She also loved to sew, making clothing for herself and her family. She could not have been prouder of her four children who attended Princeton University and her delightful grandchildren and stepgrandchildren, all of whom gave her much joy. Above all else, she loved her family and often reflected that she had a wonderful life. Rose is survived by her four children and sons- and daughters-in-laws: John A. Bonini and wife Loretta A. Estabrooks of Holmes Beach, FL; Nancy M. Bonini and husband Anthony R. Cashmore of Penn Valley, PA; James P. Bonini and wife Patricia C. Bonini of Frisco, TX; and Jennifer A.
