Residents march to demand equality for Black lives

LEA KAHN/STAFF

Chanting “Black lives matter,” Don’t shoot” and “I can’t breathe,” more than 100 people marched through Princeton in a rally organized on July 12 by Shariese Katrell and Sam Shweisky to demand equality for Black lives. For more information on what Katrell called a racial equality experiment, in which she claims she was denied a permit to rally last month but a white counterpart was not, visit www.centraljersey.com

Accessory dwelling unit ordinance approved by council By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

An ordinance that allows an accessory dwelling unit to be created in a single-family house or in a separate accessory building – such as a detached garage or barn – on the same lot in all zoning districts in town has been approved by the Princeton Council. The ordinance, which was approved at the Princeton Council’s June 29 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. It functions the same as an apartment. The ordinance differs from the previous ordinances in that it drops the limitation 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. Princeton Council President David Cohen, who has been working with Councilwoman Mia Sacks to consolidate and update the ordinances in the former Princeton Borough and former Princeton Township, said the new ordinance is intended to allow a range of different uses. An accessory dwelling unit is defined as an entirely self-contained portion of a single-family house. It 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 ratio of the principle dwelling unit – whichever is greater, according to the ordinance. An accessory dwelling unit could be used by senior citizens who wants to age in place, but who have found their two-story house to be impractical, Cohen said. They could create an accessory dwelling unit that would be on one floor for themselves and

rent out the main unit to help pay real estate taxes and maintenance, he said. It is also a “nice gesture” toward providing housing options for the so-called “missing middle” households in Princeton, Cohen said. The unit would likely be more affordable for a single-parent household in which the parents are divorced, but would like the child to continue to attend the Princeton Public Schools, he said. Princeton Councilwoman Michele Pirone Lambros agreed that the ordinance is “a step in the right direction. I don’t see the accessory dwelling ordinance as the last phase. It really is the beginning” to find housing that is affordable, and to encourage greater socioeconomic diversity in Princeton. Cohen said the council will continue to look into strategies to provide more housing. It may review neighborhoods with an eye toward creating duplexes, triplexes or quadplexes to provide housing for middle income households

– the so-called “missing middle,” he said. “We have also talked about looking at the Western Section,” Cohen said. The Western Section of Princeton is the neighborhood west of Bayard Lane/Route 206, which includes Hodge Road, Library Place, Cleveland Lane, Westcott Road, Morven Place and Boudinot Street. Cohen suggested that “some of those grand old houses” could possibly be converted into condominiums, creating multiple dwelling units “and also preserving our great old housing stock by doing that. It is kind of an adaptive reuse (of the houses).” “I want to be specific about some of the further interventions that we see coming down the road,” Cohen said. While they voted for the ordinance, Councilwoman Mia Sacks and Councilman Dwayne Williams expressed some concerns about its impact – especially on the schools, which Sacks said are

“filled to overflowing.” Mayor Liz Lempert praised the ordinance for creating diversity in housing options. “Princeton has a lot of single family homes for families. What we don’t have is a lot of smaller one- and two-bedroom units. What we often hear is that people want to be able to downsize, or there is this desire for there to be more young people in town,” Lempert said. “We are not going to be able to attract different groups of people who don’t need a big one-family house if all we are doing is building more threeand four-bedroom housing. I think that is what is part of the motivation here, too.” Although there are new standards, such as a limit to the total square footage of the accessory dwelling unit and the number of rooms permitted, the ordinance will “grandfather” units that are already in place. They will not have to be modified to meet the new standards.

Princeton school board votes to buy computers for students By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

Princeton school district officials have approved spending $2.5 million to buy laptop computers and iPads for students, ensuring that each student has access to a computer for in-school and athome use. The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to spend $105,000 to buy 430 Chromebooks, but split its vote 6-4 to spend $2.4 million for 2,500 MacBook laptop computers

and 570 iPads, at its July 1 meeting. School board members Betsy Baglio, Beth Behrend, Jessica Deutsch, Susan Kanter, Brian McDonald and Michele Tuck-Ponder voted “yes” to buy MacBook laptops for sixth to 12th-grade students and iPads for students in grades preK-1. School board members Debbie Bronfeld, Daniel Dart, Dafna Kendal and Peter Katz voted “no.” Katz is the Cranbury Schools school board representative to the Princeton school board. Cranbury sends its high school students to Princeton High School. The laptops, Chromebooks and iPads are being purchased as part of the district’s one-to-one program. Each student will have a device for remote learning, or for a hybrid of in-person and remote learning, said Krista Galyon, the school district’s director of Tech-

nology and Innovation. In the elementary schools, the devices will be kept on a cart in school when in-person classes are in session. Students at the John Witherspoon Middle School and Princeton High School will be assigned a dedicated laptop to take home with them so they will be prepared if the district reverts to remote learning, as it did when schools were closed down because of COVID-19. The plan to buy the equipment grew out of Gov. Phil Murphy’s order to close the school buildings in March, which meant students had to learn from at home. Galyon, the district’s director of Technology and Innovation, said her department had been asked how students could be better supported with remote instruction, if it is needed during the 2020-21 school year. Some families did not have access to computers when the school

went to remote learning in March, Galyon said, so the district provided them with the equipment. Some students were using 2012 MacBooks and others were using 2015 MacBooks. Some students were using expired Chromebooks, she said. The one-to-one initiative “levels the instructional playing field,” Galyon said. The devices will be leased over a five-year period, and the district would buy them at the end of the term, Galyon said. Apple has a buy-back policy in which it purchases the devices. The money can be used to offset the costs of any new purchases, she said. Dart asked whether there is a need to provide each student with a computer, because many families already have computers in their homes. Only students who need them should be given computers by the school district,

he said, saying he was concerned about the costs. Providing each student with a district-issued computer ensures they can all be online with the teacher at the same time, and that the teacher has more control over instruction, Galyon said. The teacher can direct students to a website, for example, or “see” what the student sees. Students who use their own, personally owned computers can navigate past district filters. In the case of alleged cyber-bullying, it would be difficult for the district to pull the device for an investigation because parental permission would be required, she said. Behrend said the district has to look ahead. Setting up a bringyour-own-device system, in which families provide their children with computers, is complicated –

Advancing Your Mission During COVID-19 and Beyond will continue from 10:30 a.m. to noon on July 23, with a workshop on long-term strategies for resilience in terms of revenues, costs and business models. The sudden and pervasive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is upending revenue streams for many businesses. Nonprofit cultural institutions are particularly hard hit as stay-at-home orders necessitate cancellation of school programs, special events and regular visitation hours. How can non-profits make strategic financial decisions confidently during and after this crisis? Are there new business models, costsaving strategies, and alternative revenue streams that can help? Does the crisis actually offer new opportunities to reimagine financial sustainability for these organizations? How will institutions ensure that their collections and programming are accessible to communities without resources, and would reaching such communities expand potential funding opportunities? This session will ask participants to consider equity and access alongside fiscal strategy and touch

MINI IMPLANTS

As their name implies, “mini” dental implants are typically half the size of a traditional implant. They are an option for patients who might not have enough bone to accept a larger implant and do not want to undergo bone augmentation procedures. Mini implants are also a good option for patients who want to replace small teeth, front teeth, premolars, and teeth located in a narrow area. Mini implants can also be used by patients with dentures and partial dentures, who desire more stability for their dental prostheses. In these cases, a small, ball-shaped portion of the implant sticks out of the gums and snaps securely into a retaining socket on the inside of a denture. In addition to their cosmetic appeal, implants allow people to enjoy a healthy and varied diet without the restrictions some

denture wearers face. They also often bring a renewed sense of self-confidence. People with implants often say they feel better, look better, and live better. If you think implants may be for you, call us for a consultation. A visit to Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman, may be just what you need to enhance your quality of life. You can reach us at 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. At least four mini implants are typically required to secure a lower denture, and at least six to secure an upper denture.

Filing deadline for seat on Princeton school board is July 27 By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Time is running out for would-be candidates to serve on the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. The deadline to file a nominating petition for one of three seats on the school board is July 27 at 4 p.m. The nominating petition, to be signed by 10 registered voters, must be turned in to the Mercer County Clerk’s Office in Trenton. The school board election is Nov. 3. The term is for three years. At stake are the three seats held by Beth Behrend, Jessica Deutsch and Michele Tuck-Ponder. Behrend and Tuck-Ponder are seeking re-election, but Deutsch has opted not to seek another term. Behrend said she is seeking another term because she wants to continue building on the excellence of the Princeton Public Schools, and to provide continuity and experience to help address the challenges facing the school

district. The school board will be asked to make decisions that will impact public education in Princeton for years to come – from the continued pandemic and related financial crisis, to hiring a permanent superintendent of schools, settling labor contracts and updating the district’s strategic plan, Behrend said. The school board will have to decide how to ensure appropriate space and facilities for the growing student enrollment, she said. It will also face the challenges of improving equity and student wellness, foster continued academic excellence and meet the needs of a diverse student body. “All of this must be achieved at a price that taxpayers can afford in a time of economic challenge. The board will need all of the continuity, experience, professional skills, collaboration and community support it can muster,” she said. Behrend said she would

like to continue that work on behalf of the students, “building on our strengths, improving where we can do better, listening to all voices and ensuring that all board decisions are data-based, strategic, fiscally responsible and mission-driven.” Behrend, who has three children, said she came to the school board as an activist and veteran of multiple volunteer board and 20 years of experience as a corporate lawyer, but “nothing quite prepared me for the intense learning curve and enormous satisfaction of school board service, focusing on work that is always about the kids.” Tuck-Ponder, whose daughter graduated from Princeton High School and whose son is enrolled at the John Witherspoon Middle School, said she is seeking another term because there is much work to do – particularly in the area of equity. “I have served as an independent voice, not only on equity issues, but on many other issues as well,” she said.

“As the only person of color on the board, as well as my background as a former mayor (of the former Princeton Township) and commissioner on the Princeton Public Housing Authority, I bring a unique perspective to the issues confronting the schools,” she said. Tuck-Ponder, who is a 29-year resident of Princeton, is the executive director of Destination Imagination, which is a global education nonprofit. She is a former CEO of the Girl Scouts of Delaware-Raritan, Inc., former assistant counsel to former Gov. Jim Florio, and the former assistant director of the New Jersey Division on Women. Tuck-Ponder also is a former aide to U.S. Rep. Louis Stokes and the late U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg. She is a former Community Builder Fellow with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in Camden, and a lecturer at Princeton and Rutgers universities. Deutsch said she is step-

ping down and will devote her volunteer energy “in the grassroots ways I had been involved in before (serving on the school board) – thought leadership, writing and activism on the ground, as opposed to in a board room.” Deutsch said she had spent more than a decade, prior to her school board service, leading community conversations to help shift “an unhealthy culture known as the ‘race to nowhere’ – the relentless pursuit of busy-ness and achievement that characterizes many young people’s lives.” Deutsch said it has been an honor to serve the Princeton community. She said she is looking forward to finishing her term with her school board colleagues and Interim Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso during what will be a most unusual and challenging back to school season. “With the community as a critical partner, with many dimensions of the pandemic, the school board has a

Princeton modifies summer recreation programs for families and youth By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

When the ongoing coronavirus pandemic hit New Jersey it changed the way families went about everyday life across the state. During 2020, the virus did not just affect the operations of businesses, health services, school districts and municipalities. The virus also altered how summer camp programs and community amenities such as pools would be organized and operated in the summer

months when restrictions loosened. The Recreation Department in Princeton has adapted its own 2020 summer camp programs to the new normal by including a virtual and in-person component that adheres to social distancing guidelines set by state and municipal officials. “I couldn’t be more proud of my team for their work throughout this pandemic. With such a fluid situation and with guidance from the state changing of-

ten, the team put together a nice variety of programs and activities that are proving to be quite popular,” Princeton Recreation Director Ben Stentz said. The virtual programs established this summer are the Youth Mindfulness Program and Teen Mindfulness Program. Sessions for those programs sold out, according to the Recreation Department. In-person summer programs for 2020 are youth track (Aug. 3-7), high

school track (July 13-16), a skateboard program, soccer program (July 27-31), youth soccer program (Aug. 2428), girl’s basketball clinic (July 27-29), boy’s basketball clinic (Aug. 3-5), and multi-sport program (Aug. 17-Sept. 3). The skateboard program has also sold out, according to Stentz. In addition to the summer camps and activities, Community Park Pool officially reopened on July 13 with a variety of swim les-

sons and aquatic programs. The pool is now on a modified schedule in two week blocks with the first block being from July 13-26. People attending the Community Park Pool, as with the summer camps and activities, are also being required to social distance when outside and inside the pool.

complex mix of long-term projects ahead, especially related to equity and future planning,” Deutsch said. Serving on the school board can be meaningful “if you have the time, energy, skills and patience it requires, and if you understand what the role is, and what it is not,” Deutsch said. It involves much time and it is not easy, she said. Candidates for school board must be at least 18 years old, be able to read and write, and hold U.S. citizenship. They must have lived in the school district for at least one year, and be registered to vote. They may not have an interest in, or hold a claim against, the school board. They may not serve on the municipal governing body, and may be disqualified from holding office because of conviction of certain crimes. Nominating petitions and the candidates kit are available online at the Mercer County Clerk’s Office, under the Elections tab, at www.mercercounty.org.

Climate change in New Jersey: warmer and wetter

D

oes New Jersey seem rainier than usual? Are the winters milder? How about high tide flooding at the shore? It’s not your imagination. According to a new report by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, increased rainfall, warmer temperatures and more coastal flooding are all happening right now due to a changing climate. The Scientific Report on Climate Change is the state’s comprehensive effort to gather the latest and most reliable information on the current and anticipated impacts of climate change. “Many of the impacts of climate change are already familiar to New Jerseyans, including increasing temperatures, rising sea levels and more frequent and intense storms,” Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Catherine R. McCabe said. “As our climate continues to change, it is urgent that New Jerseyans understand what future impacts are likely to occur, and when,” she said. Here are some key findings: • New Jersey’s average temperature is already 3.5 degrees higher than the first records from 1895. Continued warming at historically unprecedented levels is projected, with the state’s average annual temperature expected to rise another 4.1 to 5.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2050. • Annual rainfall in New Jersey is expected to increase 7% to 11% by 2050, and it could occur in more intense rain events that cause localized flooding. • By 2050, there is a 50% chance that sea level along New Jersey’s coastline will rise by 1.4 feet, and a 17% chance it will rise by at least 2.1 feet. This will increase coastal flooding during sunny days and storms, threatening infrastructure, residents and businesses. Sea level is projected to further increase by as much as

SOLUTIONS

help to keep climate change impacts as minimal as possible. New Jersey cannot avoid these impacts, but taking action now can help keep them at the lower end of the potential ranges. The encouraging news is that New Jersey is already taking action. The state’s energy master plan sets a goal of 100% clean electricity by 2050, generated by solar and wind power. Electrifying the building and transportation sectors and shifting away from fossil fuels will help. New Jersey can also employ “natural solutions” to climate change, using the ability of trees, vegetation and soils to sequester carbon. That means preserving as much forested land as possible, letting forests mature, planting native trees on fallow lands and in urban and suburban landscapes (and protecting them from deer and invasive species), restoring wetlands, and transitioning to sustainable agricultural practices that sequester carbon. The report also provides New Jerseyans with information to plan for the changes we know are coming. “This report will empower governments, businesses and people across the state to better understand how climate change is impacting and will continue to impact all aspects of life in New Jersey,” said David Rosenblatt, the state’s Chief Resilience Officer and Assistant Commissioner for Climate and Flood Resilience at the DEP. “The more we learn about and experience the impacts of climate change in New Jersey, the clearer our urgent need for resilience planning becomes,” he said.

coasts. The heat is coming primarily from the tropics, but reveals that no place on the planet is unaffected by warming. The major impacts of this warming will be the loss of sea ice and rising ocean levels. In Siberia, unusual heat is allowing wildfires to burn the tundra’s permafrost, which in turn is releasing stored methane, a more powerful, and therefore more dangerous, heat-trapping gas than carbon dioxide. In the Atlantic Ocean, off the New Jersey coast and north up to Canada, the warming waters are having impacts on the species living there. Right whales and lobsters are respectively dwindling in numbers and migrating north. The Gulf of Maine’s deep waters have warmed nearly 9 degrees Fahrenheit since 2004. The food that the right whales primarily eat, “fat-rich zooplankton,” is moving north, and the whales are following. The lobster population in the Gulf of Maine is expected to decline by as much as 62%. Instead of seeking ways to reverse climate change, the Trump administration is opposing efforts and new restrictions. The National Marine Fisheries, ironically a division of NOAA, is avoiding any publicity of these environmental changes. A biologist familiar with the region observed that the fisheries department wants to announce only good news, not bad. Another observer warned that departments in NOAA are “entrenched” in old ways of doing things, when dynamic management is needed. In contrast, Canada has recently issued “wide-ranging”

protections for marine life, including seasonal closures of fishing and whaling regions. Not doing this, as the current American departments’ policies are, will lead to the extinction of species. These, in turn, will have economic, food supply and ecological impacts. The good news is that former Vice President Joe Biden has recently consulted with both Senator Bernie Sanders and with Al Gore, as well as with Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry, and he seems to be heading toward more active climate stance. Last year, Biden proposed a $1.7 trillion plan to reach 100% clean energy by eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. This is one of the steps we urgently need, including turning to electric vehicles. This month’s heat and storms should remind those not thinking of these issues. Looking across this country and around the world, observers are finding rapid changes in many regions, at many levels. As a result, it seems pretty clear that if we want to preserve our world as we have known it, we must undertake, as soon as possible, a range of policies that reduce emissions, and the warming they produce, while also adopting policies that preserve life in as many of its forms as possible. Extinctions are in many cases dangerously advanced, leading to destructive ecological repercussions. We know what to do. The issue is: are we going to work together to marshal the will to do what we need to do?

tropical storm came ashore near Atlantic City and blew up along much of the Mid-Atlantic coast, flooding roads and fields. High temperatures and humidity blanketed the East and other regions of the country. This, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) and other weather and climate predictions, around the world, is our new normal. Polls show that 60% of Americans view manmade climate change as a “major threat.” And they want something done. The question is: what? And will it be soon enough to hold off more powerful storms, heat and the destruction of our environments? We are not alone. Japan recently experienced extreme weather, in the form of rain storms depositing more than 9 inches of rain in a single day. Landslides and flooding rivers swept away villagers and nursing home residents. A Japanese climate scientist warned that global warming will be producing rainfall amounts never experienced before. The South Pole, the most isolated landmass on the planet, is experiencing unprecedented warming along its

3 to 6 feet by 2100. To put this in perspective, most of the streets on barrier islands between Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are about 5 to 8 feet above sea level. • Temperature increases could intensify air pollution, which in turn would threaten respiratory and cardiovascular health. These impacts are likely to be worse for lower-income communities and communities of color, which already are disproportionately affected by pollution. • Although overall precipitation is increasing, the time between rain events may become longer, causing droughts. This could reduce the Garden State’s agricultural capacity, leading to decreased food production, increased food prices and economic losses to farmers. In addition, some crops currently grown in New Jersey may not do well in warmer temperatures. • In addition to dry periods between strong storms, higher temperatures will increase evaporation from water bodies, and vegetation will transpire water and deplete soil moisture more quickly. Groundwater levels will drop, resulting in loss of headwater wetlands. Critical vernal pond habitats for rare species will dry and disappear at far more alarming rates than what is already occurring. • Wildfire seasons could lengthen and intensify, increasing the risk to New Jersey communities. • If carbon dioxide emissions continue unabated, the ocean will become more acidic, impacting important marine and estuarine life and New Jersey’s fishing industry. • Harmful algal blooms in New Jersey’s lakes may increase in frequency and intensity, disrupting swimming and fishing, and posing risks to the state’s drinking water supply reservoirs. The report is a wake-up call for immediate action toward reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like methane. Proactive and aggressive steps now will

The Hun School to hold in-person graduation The Hun School’s 106th Commencement will take place at 9 a.m. July 25 at The Hun School, 176 Edgerstoune Road, Princeton, on Natale Family Field. One hundred sixty-one students will graduate The Hun School this year, including 61 boarders who come from as far away as South Africa, Russia, Beijing and Ireland. Valedictorian is Alex Ni. Classes transitioned to an all virtual format this March. As a result, commencement will be a reunion as well as a milestone celebration, for those who

are able to return. For the first time in the school’s 106-year-history, commencement will take place on Natale Family Field in a physically distant ceremony. In years past, graduates have sat together on the lawn behind Russell Hall, as family and friends looked on; but with the current safety guidelines in place, graduates will be seated with two members of their immediate family, six feet apart from others on the school’s athletic field, according to information provided by the school. Following the ceremo-

ny, graduates will have an opportunity to walk the campus they have not seen in months. They will recess through a faculty receiving line on the mall, minus the customary hugs and handshakes. The class will matriculate at more than 90 colleges and universities this year. Hun is a boarding school with students from 18 states and 23 countries. Given travel restrictions in place, some graduates may be unable to attend. The event will be livestreamed and efforts will be made

to honor those not in attendance, according to the statement. In keeping with state guidelines and in the best interests of families, individuals who are sick may not attend; face coverings are required; and individuals must remain outdoors and remain six feet apart at all times. Access to campus buildings will be limited to restroom use only. Photo opportunities will be available throughout the event. For more information and to RSVP, email beckybarus@hunschool.org

instruction, he said. “I think it is a matter of equity. I know Princeton Public Schools’ guiding principle is equity and this is one small step in providing students with a fair and equitable playing field,” Galasso said of the one-toone computer initiative. Tuck-Ponder said while she, too, shares concerns about costs, no one knows

what the technology will look like in five years. She said she is not a technology person or an educator, but she does know children need to be equipped to learn. “In this time of pandemic where we really have to make sure our kids are equipped to at least start the year off learning, I can’t argue Chromebook over Mac-

Book,” Tuck-Ponder said. She said she has to rely on the district’s Technology Department. “This is the first time in my memory there will actually be a level playing field for all our students. It is expensive, but what is even more expensive is our failure to equitably educate our students,” Tuck-Ponder said.

especially if the district is teaching in hybrid mode, she said. Interim Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso said it is likely there will be remote learning in the fall. If COVID-19 continues to spread, “we may be in total remote learning for a while,” he said. Parents will expect the district to provide quality

commencement ceremony on July 25 The Hun School’s 106th Commencement will take place at 9 a.m. July 25 at The Hun School, 176 Edgerstoune Road, Princeton, on Natale Family Field. One hundred sixty-one students will graduate The Hun School this year, including 61 boarders who come from as far away as South Africa, Russia, Beijing and Ireland. Valedictorian is Alex Ni. Classes transitioned to an all virtual format this March. As a result, commencement will be a reunion as well as a milestone celebration, for those who are able to return. For the first time in the school’s 106-year-history, commencement will take place on Natale Family Field in a physically distant

ceremony. In years past, graduates have sat together on the lawn behind Russell Hall, as family and friends looked on; but with the current safety guidelines in place, graduates will be seated with two members of their immediate family, six feet apart from others on the school’s athletic field, according to information provided by the school. Following the ceremony, graduates will have an opportunity to walk the campus they have not seen in months. They will recess through a faculty receiving line on the mall, minus the customary hugs and handshakes. The class will matriculate at more than 90 colleges and universities this year. RELEASE DATE—Sunday, July 26, 2020 Hun is a boarding school

with students from 18 states and 23 countries. Given travel restrictions in place, some graduates may be unable to attend. The event will be livestreamed and efforts will be made to honor those not in attendance, according to the statement. In keeping with state guidelines and in the best interests of families, individuals who are sick may not attend; face coverings are required; and individuals must remain outdoors and remain six feet apart at all times. Access to campus buildings will be limited to restroom use only. Photo opportunities will be available throughout the event. For more information and to RSVP, email beckybarus@hunschool.org.

LOOSE ENDS

By Pam Hersh

Nick Sutter

M

y angst antennae are particularly sensitive these days, so when I heard the news, I made my Edvard Munch “Scream” face, and uttered my anxietyfilled comment: “Oh no, say it isn’t so.” I called the police, spoke to the Princeton police chief who checked his trustworthy source, and then he told me “I am afraid it is so.” His trustworthy source was none other than himself, Chief Nicholas Sutter. Chief Sutter announced a couple of weeks ago that he is retiring. His last day is Oct. 1, 2020. Even though criticisms these days are being hurled throughout the country at certain police officers, whose actions have been denounced as racist, inhumane and despicable, Chief Sutter has not been among the cursed. His actions during 27 years on the Princeton Borough and Princeton police forces have been humane, praiseworthy and respectful of all residents regardless of race, religion or socioeconomic status. “For me personally, the reason I am leaving is very mundane – it is time for me to move on to the next challenge in my professional journey. And I would be leaving when the department is strong, respected, and progressive. My work with the Princeton Police Department (the consolidation of the Princeton Borough and the Princeton Township Police Departments) and before that with the Princeton Borough Police Department has been

ria   

the only law enforcement work I have done in my life. The work has been incredibly inspiring, interesting, fulfilling, and, of course, challenging,” said Nick, who six years ago in 2014 was promoted from Princeton police captain to Princeton police chief after a unanimous vote by Mayor Liz Lempert and members of the Princeton Council. “But I look forward to taking what I have learned in Princeton and use it in some other capacity. Right now, I am unsure what that will be.” He is fairly certain, however, that he will not be seeking a finance job on Wall Street, where he worked at 120 Broadway for one year after his graduation from Kean University, with a major in finance and economics. “I gave a financial services career a shot and quickly learned that it was not for me. I had always wanted to be a cop. My uncle was a police officer – he was my hero and had a huge influence on me. I decided after trying a job in finance that I should follow my passion,” said Nick, who went on to get a degree from the FBI National Law Enforcement Academy, followed by master’s degree in public administration from Columbia Southern University, and then a certificate from the leadership-training program at West Point. I first met Nick in his first year on the Princeton Borough police force in 1995 when he was 23 years old. I can’t remember the circumstances of

Nick Sutter

our meeting – whether I was in my role as reporter or Princeton University community relations officer or as an annoying citizen arguing that my parking ticket was unconstitutional. But I can remember liking him immediately. My lasting impression was that he really listened and didn’t dismiss me as a wacky little old lady (which I was and still am, only older). In our most recent conversation just last week, I was very comforted when he told me that he was “sure of one thing” – that he would remain living in the area. “This is my home,” and he intends to continue to “bother” his friends, relatives, and former colleagues, said Nick, a Hillsborough native who lives in Lawrence Township with his wife and three sons. Since he turns 50 in September, some might call this a midlife crisis, but Nick described his retirement as no crisis. He is happy with his accomplishments in Princeton and is confident that the Princeton Police Department is headed in the right direction.

He said he owes his administrative achievements in his capacity as police chief to the “smart, caring and amazingly conscientious” elected officials and police department colleagues. “And they still be there after I retire.” He acknowledged that his colleagues have been particularly supportive in recent months, when he also has been serving as the municipality’s director of emergency management. The former director, Bob Gregory, died unexpectedly, and the chief was asked to do the emergency management job and the police chief job, just as COVID-19 was making its horrific presence known to the community. He described the Princeton Police Department as being “an agent of change. We were the first department in the state to have gone through a full consolidation (as opposed to one department taking over another). That fact I think gave us the opportunity to be very flexible, progressive, ahead of public demands for change. For example, our community policing program and proto-

cols for police officer accountability were being implemented well before the recent demands for structural change in police departments,” Nick said. In the area of police accountability, the department instituted – prior to the current national conversation of doing so – an “early warning” system to monitor police personnel behavior. The system is meant to uncover minor problems with individual officers’ behavior that may be a harbinger of greater behavioral problems. The software, said Nick, tracks a variety of “things that may seem like nothing but when put together add up to something.” For example, if an individual has been late to work several times, or has one or two citizen complaints about rudeness, or has had a car accident when on duty. “Those three things taken separately never would amount to close scrutiny; however, when compiled, we notice a pattern and intervene.” When it comes to “defunding the police,” Nick would like the label the initiative as “refocusing public safety operations to be responsive to the particular needs of the community.” For example, he does not believe in having civilian social workers by themselves respond to incidents of reported domestic abuse or violent incidents. But he strongly has advocated for a system of “second responders,” where a team of social workers accompany the police to the scene of the unrest. “Police officers have had to try to fill the role of social workers but we are

not social workers and don’t have the training to provide the appropriate assessment of a situation, the follow up and monitoring. I have been advocating for a second responder program. The police are present to make a scene safe and a second responder deals with underlying issues,” Nick said. He looks forward to an “honest and thoughtful debate” about restructuring public safety departments. The conversation has to take place, he said, in an environment characterized not by anger but by determination to make changes that will benefit the community. The chief is an unequivocal fan of consolidation of the borough and township police forces. “We now do everything better as one department – we are sharper, and more effective with fewer personnel (52 officers versus 60 in the combined borough and township). One of things that consolidation accomplished was a holistic review of public safety operations in the community, and “I think we should have another strategic planning process with focus groups of the stakeholders in community,” Nick said. “That is how we learn about community needs and trends before we have a crisis. Our public safety policies should reflect a vision around what community wants – not what the police want.” And that comment is exactly why all the residents of Princeton are very happy that Nick chose Nassau Street over Wall Street.
