Witherspoon Street could remain one-way street By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Witherspoon Street, which was converted from a two-way street to a one-way street between Nassau Street and Spring Street as an experiment earlier this year, could remain a one-way street. The Princeton Council introduced an ordinance that keeps the one-way configuration of Witherspoon Street northbound at its Dec. 7 meeting. The vote was unanimous. A virtual public hearing and final action on the ordinance is set for the Princeton Council’s Dec. 21 meeting. The ordinance stipulates that Witherspoon Street will continue to be a one-way street northbound, which means cars will travel “down” the hill on Witherspoon Street from Nassau Street. There will be one lane for cars and trucks. The rest of Witherspoon Street will be redesigned to accommodate pedestrians, bicycle parking, outdoor dining, public art, green infrastructure stormwater management and other non-motor vehicle uses. While the Princeton Council’s vote to introduce the ordinance was unanimous, reaction from the public was mixed. Residents and a few business owners and their representatives favored the change – espe-

cially accommodations for outdoor dining – but at least one business owner expressed some concerns about it. Although the one-way configuration was implemented in part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic to help the restaurants on Witherspoon Street, Princeton officials had already been studying potential changes to the street. Those changes are being sparked by a $610,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation to pave a portion of Witherspoon Street and to make other improvements – from new curbs and sidewalks to updated street lighting and street trees. In the meantime, the Princeton Council hired McMahon Associates to conduct a traffic study of Witherspoon Street and to examine four possible designs for it. The options included restoring it to a two-way street; converting it to a one-way street northbound; converting it to a one-way street southbound; and closing it to create a pedestrian mall. McMahon Associates recommended keeping the one-way northbound configuration, which is the design alternative that was introduced in the ordinance at the Princeton Council’s Dec. 7 meeting. Although Witherspoon Street is a municipally-owned street, the or-

dinance states that the change will not take effect until the New Jersey Department of Transportation – which controls Nassau Street/Route 27 – approves the project and issues the appropriate permits. If the ordinance is approved later this month and the New Jersey Department of Transportation approves the project, changes to the traffic flow on nearby streets may

need to be put into place, according to the McMahon Associates traffic study. The changes suggested by the traffic consultant include flipping S. Tulane Street – between Nassau Street and Spring Street – into a one-way street southbound (toward Spring Street), and banning left turns from Spring Street onto Nassau Street.

The intersections of Wiggins Street and Vandeventer Avenue; Nassau Street and Vandeventer Avenue/Washington Road; and Nassau Street and Chambers Street will likely be impacted by the change to Witherspoon Street, which will shift “a significant amount of traffic” to those intersections, the McMahon Associates traffic study said.

Residents concerned about noise aspect of proposed soccer stadium By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004

The Princeton Planning Board expects to finish a public hearing regarding Princeton University’s application to build a new soccer stadium and practice field in January. The application was carried by the planning board to Jan. 7 during the public hearing on Dec. 3. Princeton University is seeking preliminary and final major site plan approval for the stadium and practice field from the Planning Board. The application is part of the university’s plan to develop the East Campus site. The topic of noise level and sound dominated resident questions on Dec. 3, as several residents voiced concerns about the sound and noise level that would take place at the proposed stadium project. Olga Troyanskaya, who lives on FitzRandolph Road, questioned representatives about the 65 decibels at the property line border and modeling conducted for the sound, which would be answered by acoustic consultant Emily Piersol. Her question posed on modeling asked whether wind (environmental effects) was considered in the analysis.

Todd Cronan, who lives on Hartley Avenue, said, “Is there any interest in doing better than the complying with New Jersey noise code?” in referring to the state’s noise code limits sound level standards of 65 decibels during the daytime and 50 decibels during nighttime starting at 10 p.m. Piersol said there will be a control system in the sound system to heed the 10 p.m. limit. In the sound system programming, functions are able to listen to sound so that it is at 65 decibels at the property line, and then at 10 p.m. the controls can lower the sound. After the questioning and testimony, Councilman David Cohen suggested that university representatives come back with results

of research and testimony presenting what sound levels would be typical from the sound system with an average crowd. “Take an average game (400 people), what would be the industry standard for the levels of the sound system and what approximate sound levels would that have at the edge of the residential neighborhood?” he said. “Then we won’t have conditions about doing additional modeling, if we can get that testimony at the next meeting, and will just have a condition about post-occupancy evaluation.” The soccer stadium will be a natural grass soccer stadium and the practice field will be artificial turf. The stadium location on the East Campus entry site is set to re-

place the existing structure of the FitzRandolph Observatory, that is being demolished during developments, with the practice field going on the current site of surface parking lot 21, south of Jadwin Drive. The practice field would be adjacent to the new East Garage. This project relocates the existing Roberts Stadium and the practice field that is currently associated with Roberts Stadium existing on the western side of Washington Road. The new proposed Roberts Stadium seats a little more than 2,100 people for open air seating and is set to be built near Jadwin Gym and Caldwell Field House, according to application documents. A new stadium replaces the old Roberts Stadium seating

of more than 2,300 and is west of FitzRandolph Road and south of Strubing Field. There is a pavilion on the eastern side of the stadium and the western side of the stadium both combined amount to more than 12,000 square feet in space. The eastern building will be a one-story structure for the restrooms and concessions, while the western side building is a two-story structure containing ticketing, locker rooms and a press box. Regarding parking, testimony stated that the surface parking removed to make way for the practice field would be now be in the East Garage (not yet completed), which could handle game day parking during the weekdays and weekends.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to ﬂy an airplane?

By Gabrielle Nierenberg Imagine sitting in the pilot seat and looking straight out to the horizon to see the blue skies and clouds. And then when you look to your right you see the Philadelphia skyline and to your left New York City the skyline. Flying is an incredible feeling. Talk about seeing the world from a different perspective. Ok, maybe you have flown in a commercial plane to Florida or Utah, but there is something so unique about flying in a single engine airplane. When flying in a Cessna Skyhawk, you are seeing the world from a completely different view than on the ground or a commercial jet. The Princeton Flying School at the Princeton Airport offers an extraordinary experience of an Introductory Flying Lesson. In the beginning you will go

through a pre-flight inspection to ensure the airplane is ready for flight, as all pilots do. Then, you will spend an hour in the air with a certified flight instructor going over some basic maneuvers. You will even get a chance to fly the airplane yourself! But do not worry; there are dual controls in the planes, so the instructor is there to assist you the entire time. When people return from their first Introductory Flying Lesson they are elated and often speechless. Many have said it was their dream to fly a plane, and it finally came true! This is a very special hour. Not only is this a special experience, but it counts as your first hour towards getting your Private Pilot’s License. Many students are inspired during their Introductory Flying Lesson to continue to study and train for

their Private Pilot’s License, while others are completely captivated by this hour and feel fulfilled. Either way, flying an airplane is something very special and you have the power to be the one who makes this experience possible. An Introductory Flying Lesson is the perfect gift to give to that someone who seems to have everything and you just don’t know what to buy. What better gift than an experience of a lifetime. This holiday season struggle no more when it comes to gift giving. As long as they are tall enough to reach the pedals, they can fly. Call 609-921-3100 for more information or visit us on the web at www. PrincetonFlyingSchool.com Happy flying!

Princeton public school students back in the classroom By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

Princeton Public School students are back in the classroom for hybrid learning, after one week of remote learning following the Thanksgiving break, Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso said. School district officials held off bringing students back for hybrid learning during the week following the Thanksgiving break to allow for students and staff who may have had to quarantine because of the holiday – but as of Dec. 7, they have resumed hybrid learning, Galasso said. Hybrid learning alternates between bringing small groups of students into the classroom for in-person learning for part of the week and having them learn remotely at home for part of the week. All of the students had been learning remotely for the first few weeks of the 2020-21 school year. Neighboring school districts, meanwhile, have switched from hybrid learning to remote learning through the middle of January. Those school districts include the Lawrence Township Public Schools, the East Windsor Regional School District and the Montgomery Township School District. Several days before the Thanksgiving break, Princeton school district officials expressed concern that as confirmed cases

of COVID-19 began to rise in the community, the number of students and staff who might have to quarantine after the holiday would make it difficult to operate the schools. Spending a week learning at home after Thanksgiving would have given time for students and staff to quarantine, if they needed to do so – which, in turn, would have allowed the district to resume hybrid learning Dec. 7, Galasso said. School district officials spoke to the school district physician and Princeton Health Department officials, who agreed that it would be safe for the district to resume hybrid learning because there had not been a post-Thanksgiving surge of illness in the community, Galasso said. “While the numbers (of confirmed COVID-19 cases) for our district remain relatively stable, we are clearly in a statewide environment where things can change quickly,” Galasso said Dec. 4. “We will continue to monitor the situation and pivot to all-remote if it becomes necessary to keep our students and staff safe,” he said. Galasso said “it is more crucial than ever” that students and their families avoid large gatherings and observe all precautions, including physical distancing, mask wearing and symptom monitoring.

CHRISTINE’S HOPE FOR KIDS Jean and John Gianacaci, the founders of Christine’s Hope for Kids, dreamed of one day writing a book to honor their daughter, Christine, who loved helping kids, especially kids who were treated unfairly because of their differences. While she herself was bullied as a child, because of Tourette’s, she was upbeat, kind, and always the first to help someone who needed her help. That was Christine. Because of what Christine experienced, Jean and John wanted to do something about bullying. They partnered with Linda Martin, a friend and a Christine’s Hope for Kids board member, to write a story that addressed bullying. That story is told in a way every child can relate to in ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER...A Story of Acceptance, Friendship and Love. It teaches children important lessons about accepting people’s differences and the remarkable power of kindness. About Christine’s Hope for Kids... Christines’s Hope for Kids is a local non-profit with one abiding principle. That every child deserves to be a kid, regardless of his or her circumstances. The foundation was inspired by Christine Gianacaci, the daughter of Jean and John, who lost her life when an earthquake struck while she was on a mission in Haiti to help underprivileged children. In the eleven years since its inception, Christine’s Hope for Kids has dispersed over $1,000,000 to 130 local agencies, providing tens of thousands of children with the kind of things most children take for granted. The proceeds from the sale of this book will enable Christine’s Hope for Kids to help even more underserved children in our very own communities. ALWAYS BETTER TOGETHER is a great gift for every child this holiday. It can be purchased for $24.95 at chistineshope.org, and in Pennington at Artistic Designs, Emily’s Cafe, Orion Jewelry Studio, Pennington Quality Market, Rosedale Mills, The Front Porch and Twirl Toy Store. Also in Lawrenceville at Enzo’s La Piccola Cucina and in Robbinsville at Salon Xtraordinare.

HEALTH MATTERS

ria ecemer  

Breaking the Cycle of Intergenerational Trauma P

sychological trauma – emotional damage that occurs as a result of a distressing event or series of events – can be caused by many things, from a sudden, unexpected incident such as the loss of a loved one, to long-term exposure to abuse. And while in some cases the origin of trauma may be obvious, in other instances it may stem from a concept called intergenerational trauma—trauma that is passed down within family generations. No matter the source, trauma can affect your ability to cope with stressful situations and increases the risk for behavioral health disorders such as depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health offers a variety of treatment options to help people dealing with trauma learn to identify and understand its impact on their lives and build new, healthier patterns of behavior that can break the intergenerational cycle. Signs of Psychological Trauma Trauma can have a profound impact on your personality and the way you experience emotions, from how you manage and tolerate anger to how you experience excitement. Signs of psychological trauma include: • Shock, denial, or disbelief • Confusion, difficulty concentrating • Anger, irritability, mood swings • Anxiety, fear • Guilt, shame, self-blame • Withdrawal from others • Sadness or hopelessness • Disconnection or numbness Moreover, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health, there is a direct correlation between trauma and physical health conditions such as diabetes, COPD, heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. Seventy Percent of Adults Seventy percent of adults in the United States – or 223.4 million people – have experienced some type of traumatic event at least once in their lives, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health. Trauma can stem from: • Childhood abuse or neglect • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse • Accidents and natural disasters

• Witnessing acts of violence • Grief and loss • Medical interventions • War and other forms of violence In addition, there is a growing body of research that shows that trauma can be biologically inherited and passed on in several different ways. Passing Trauma from Generation to Generation Although why and how intergenerational trauma happens aren’t fully understood, both nature (your genetics) and nurture (your environment) seem to play a part. Being raised in a stressful environment can lead to being in a constant state of fight or flight, which raises the baseline level of stress hormones in your body. This higher presence of stress hormones can cause permanent changes in your genetic makeup and have a lasting impact on your physical and mental development as well as your children’s. Children with higher levels of stress hormones are more vulnerable to becoming dependent on substances and are more susceptible to learning impairments such as ADHD or explosive behavior such as oppositional defiant disorder. While children are programmed by nature to learn from their caregivers, the nurture they receive from those caregivers plays an equally important role as they begin to understand how to navigate their environment and manage stress. Starting as newborns, infants use subtle clues such as facial expressions and tone of voice to know when their environment is safe. But as children grow older, additional non-verbal stressors also play a part in their development, such as how their role models handle stress. If a parent doesn’t have the ability to deal with stress in a healthy way and instead copes through avoidance, fear, substance abuse, or other negative behaviors, a child can learn to adopt those same behaviors as their own way of dealing with difficult emotions. Also, if a parent’s ability to build a healthy relationship with a child is impaired by their own trauma, it can result in trauma and dysfunction in the child. Left unrecognized these patterns can continue through multiple generations.

THE STATE WE’RE IN

Coping Strategies Keep in mind that parents can also model positive coping skills and strategies for their children, especially as it relates to dealing with stressful emotions. The National Council for Behavioral Health suggests these helpful coping strategies: • Acknowledge that you have been through traumatic events • Connect with others, especially those who may have shared the stressful event or experienced other trauma • Exercise (try jogging, aerobics, bicycling, or walking) • Relax (try yoga, stretching, massage, mediation, or deep muscle relaxation) • Practice a hobby such as music or art • Maintain a balanced diet and get enough sleep • Avoid over-using stimulants like caffeine, sugar, or nicotine • Commit to something personally meaningful and important every day Help Is Available Trauma is a process that can be stopped once it is understood and treated. At Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health, individuals seeking treatment are screened for trauma as part of the admissions process, and specialized programs are offered for men and women. Through individual and group therapy, as well as medication if necessary to help manage symptoms, participants can learn to understand trauma’s impact on their behavior, develop new coping skills, and stop its progression to the next generation.

In fact, the conservation easement tax deduction is one of America’s most valuable tools for encouraging landowners to preserve property with high conservation value. In New Jersey, thousands of acres of natural land – forests, meadows, marshes and buffers surrounding rivers and streams – have been permanently preserved through legitimate conservation easement donations. A conservation easement is a legally binding agreement to permanently protect natural resources like farmland, forests, wetlands, and recreational lands. Conservation easement donations are popular because a landowner is able to retain ownership of the land while donating the permanent rights to develop the property to a qualified government agency or nonprofit organization. The conservation agency then retires the development rights and ensures that the conservation easement restrictions are upheld. Because permanent restrictions often reduce the value of the land, the federal government’s conservation tax program allows the difference in value to be a qualified tax deduction. Most folks who donate conservation easements are motivated by a desire to make sure their land is never developed. The financial incentive of a tax deduction is a bonus. Unfortunately, this tax deduction is being exploited in some instances by those motivated by profits instead of the public good.

Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. IS IT YOUR TOOTH OR YOUR SINUSES? Sinus infections can cause a runny nose, headaches, pressure, and tooth pain. This is because the sinuses, teeth, and gums all have similar nerves that transmit pain signals to one another. The maxillary sinuses are situated behind the cheekbones on either side of the nose and are the largest sinus cavity. Their size and position make them the most likely to cause tooth pain when they are infected. If your dental pain is caused by a sinus infection, it will lack symptoms of tooth problems such as swollen gums, tooth pain from contact with hot or cold food or drink or items, and swelling in the jaw area. Swelling in the upper cheek area can be caused by tooth and sinus infections. Because your total health is always our concern, all of our new patient exams are in-depth and comprehensive. This is an important part of establishing

a baseline against which we can measure your future oral profile and progress. And regular professional checkups make it possible for us to watch for developing concerns and address them while they are still small, before they can turn into something more serious.

The Land Trust Alliance, a national organization supporting land conservation nonprofits, has warned for years of an abusive scheme that takes advantage of federal tax benefits from conservation easement donations. The alliance has been advocating for a new federal law to crack down on the abuse. In October, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee released a revealing bipartisan report about the scope and seriousness of this abuse, based on a 16-month investigation. Here’s how the abusive tax scheme works. Investors buy shares in corporations that hold title to land. After a short holding period, the corporations donate conservation easements to nonprofit land conservation organizations. Tax deductions are then claimed based upon inflated appraisal values, often many times higher than the original purchase price of the land. As a result of the inflated appraisals, the investors reap tax benefits worth much more than their initial investment, all at the expense of the taxpayer. According to IRS data obtained by the Land Trust Alliance, 296 of these corporations claimed $9.2 billion in unwarranted deductions in 2018 alone. This abuse of the conservation tax deduction threatens to erode public faith and trust in the many lawful conservation donations. To combat the abusive tax schemes, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Sen. Steve Daines (R-Montana) and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) reintroduced the Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act, which seeks to close loopholes, save taxpayers billions of dollars and promote legitimate conservation around the country. When the bill was first introduced in the House in 2019, New Jersey Congressmen Bill Pascrell and Tom Malinowski joined as cosponsors; ideally, they and the entire New Jersey Congressional delegation will cosponsor the recently updated legislation. “The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act will safeguard taxpayers by stopping bad actors from profiteering off the federal conservation tax incentive while allowing conservation donations motivated by charity to continue unimpeded,” said Land Trust Alliance President Andrew Bowman. “This legislation is concise, sensible, and ready for passage.” See THE STATE WE’RE IN, Page 6A

Witherspoon Street Continued from Page 1A When the meeting was opened for public comment, Michele Moriello, who owns a restaurant on Witherspoon Street and who favors the change, said it represents an opportunity to change and begin something new. With a more pedestrian-friendly streetscape, people will walk around, shop and eat, Moriello said. Andrew Siegel, whose family owns Hamilton Jewelers, praised the amount of effort that had been put into it, including the “passionate debate” that is a hallmark of Princeton. Town officials are “pretty well aware” of what the various parties think, and residents and businesses have each made their respective cases, he said. Implementing the one-way street plan has been “decidedly unsuccessful” for the retail and quick service businesses, Siegel said, but the merchants agreed to it – on a temporary basis – to help the restaurants on Witherspoon Street. “It worked really well for the restaurants that needed outdoor dining. However, it has not been successful for other businesses. When people say it has been good for busi-

ness, they meant restaurants and bars. Retail and quick service businesses have been forgotten,” he said. But despite the differences of opinion, Siegel said, “the truth is, we are all really moving toward the same goal, which is a better Princeton.” Speaking in favor of a one-way Witherspoon Street, resident Carlos Rodriguez said that what is being proposed is “a step in the right direction.” He said he is a professional planner, and he is currently working on two projects in Somerset County that involve street closures. Rodriguez said the traffic study commissioned by the town was focused on motor vehicles and not on pedestrians. There was no mention of pedestrians in the traffic study, even though the changes to Witherspoon Street are being done for pedestrians, he said. “Let’s get our priorities straight. This is a town for people, not motor vehicles. We can tolerate motor vehicles, but these decisions should not be made exclusively with motor vehicles and the convenience for whoever is driving them in mind,” Rodriguez said.

The Charitable Conservation Easement Program Integrity Act would generally disallow a charitable deduction if it exceeds 2.5 times a partner’s original investment, and it includes other measures to tighten requirements. The bill preserves the tax deduction for donors with true charity and conservation in mind, including for family farms and ranches. The vast majority of land trusts preserve land and natural resources for the right reasons: providing habitat for wildlife, safeguarding clean drinking water, protecting against flooding, and providing healthy recreation opportunities to the public. The conservation easement tax incentive has helped tens of thousands of Americans with charitable intent preserve their land. Your help is needed to pass the Act before the end of 2020 to ensure that tax incentives for land conservation remain available for genuine philanthropists – of which there are many – and that scammers are shut down.

LIFESTYLE Laura Fuchs

ince masks became part of my daily COVID makeup, I have joked how they made me look much better than any pre-COVID make up. Masks cover up multiple signs of aging and imperfect features and are much cheaper than the countless creams and cosmetics I have purchased during my life. They also hide â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I had assumed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; any moods, such as irritability, fear, anger, stress and even an unimaginable burst of happiness. Princeton native and professional photojournalist Laura Fuchs also loves masks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not for what they hide, but rather for what they reveal about a person. Since COVID began, Laura, refusing to get bogged down in the negativity of the pandemic, threw herself into a joyful photo arts project self-dubbed Mask Smile â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking pictures of New Yorkers smiling behind their masks. And in the process, her lens work captivated the camera lens of BBC and CBS television that recently featured the Mask Smile project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first started seeing New Yorkers wearing masks, I noticed most people were looking down, not making eye contact, and not smiling. I missed the social interaction and found myself trying to smile at people through my mask,â&#x20AC;? said Laura, who now is working in Manhattan as a staff photographer for CUNY TV (City University of New York Television). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once my masked smile was returned with a passing strangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smize (smile with your eyes!), I discovered that people could see my smile through the mask and moreover that I could see theirs. The Mask Smile project was born,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something so sweet about walking down the street and exchanging a smile with someone through masks. The brief connection affirms a deep strength and resilience in people. â&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? Certainly, there were times when people were too overwhelmed, preoccupied, and numb to smile. But when Laura was successful, it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredibly upliftingâ&#x20AC;? to both the photographer and the subject of her photo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole project has helped me to maintain a positive attitude and to continue to be grateful for every day,â&#x20AC;? she said. I got to know Laura decades ago, before she started taking pictures, at a time when her parents were the ones taking pictures of her and her siblings. Her father Ira Fuchs and I shared an office suite at Princeton University.

When Laura came to visit her dad at work, she would run into my office, because my office always was stocked with ample snacks, and a huge stuffed tiger sat on the couch. Her dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiple computers and beeping pieces of equipment (he was vice president for Computing and Information Technology at Princeton University) â&#x20AC;&#x153;were not very interesting to me,â&#x20AC;? she admitted. As she got older, Laura, a Princeton High School alumna, Class of 2005, often would return to the Princeton University campus â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not for my snacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but to take pictures. For four years, she documented the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trash Art competition, one of the highlights of Princetonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town/gown festival known as Communiversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember exactly when I was bitten by the photography bug, but remember always being fascinated with photo-taking even as a little kid. â&#x20AC;Ś My parents would give me disposable cameras to take on family vacations and class trips.â&#x20AC;? She said that by nature she is nostalgic and â&#x20AC;&#x153;always seemed driven by a compulsive desire to documentâ&#x20AC;? her memories and the people she encountered. At Barnard College, Laura graduated in 2009 as a psychology major, which technically is not related to photography, but is related in that it reflects a fascination with people and a desire to understand them at a particular moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My camera comes with me wherever I go. â&#x20AC;Ś I thrive off the human connection and it thrills me to be able to make someone comfortable enough to let me capture their essence.â&#x20AC;? Aware that she is exceptionally lucky to have been able to convert her passion into a career, she is also aware how this passion has been a survival tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; actually a professional growth tool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; during this pandemic. She now is looking at expanding her pandemic street art to capturing images of the street musicians, whose presence on New York streets has grown considerably as performance venues have disappeared. Her joy is infectious â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one infection that I would recommend to everyone during a pandemic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carrying my camera on me wherever I go encourages me to keep my eyes peeled for joyful moments. If you walk around with this mentality, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find that there is beauty everywhere,â&#x20AC;? she said.

2021 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro

I agree with two of the three low marks Car and Driver offered up. I didn’t find the Tundra to be clumsy at all in the handling department. In fact, I think the Tundra’s ride, comfort and handling capabilities stack up quite nicely when you compare it to the Ram, F-150 or Silverado. There is a lot to consider when shopping

for a pickup and while the Tundra is not a sales leader, by any means, in its category there are some very strong points to this vehicle which should make it a serious contender for anyone looking to buy or lease a vehicle in this class. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly. For comments or questions he can be reached at peter@capitalmotorcars. com.

Obituaries

Paul J. Hill March 16, 1923 to November 23, 2020 Paul Joseph Hill passed away on Monday November 23, 2020 in Newtown, PA. A lifelong resident of Princeton, he was born 3/16/23 in a house on Aiken Avenue just a block away from the Murray Place home where the family moved to and lived for many years. He grew up with his two older brothers Homer and Dan and went to The Nassau Street School for his elementary and junior high education and went on to graduate from Princeton High School in the class of 1940. After attending Syracuse University with his two brothers, Paul enlisted in the Army in 1942 and was stationed in Los Angeles California where he met his wife June, who was living in Beverly Hills at the time. Within four months of their meeting they were married. Paul was honorably discharged February 1946 as a Corporal in the medical detachment of the 1905th Service Command Unit. After leaving California they moved for a short time to Colorado Springs to be closer to June’s family. After about a year in Colorado they moved back to Syracuse so Paul could take advantage of the GI Bill and finish his college education; however, within the first year after returning to Syracuse he received a call from his father Homer M. Hill Sr. requesting that he return to Princeton to manage the store, as his father had fallen ill. Shortly after returning to Princeton from Syracuse, Paul and June built their home on Morgan Place where Paul lived for over 70 years and where they raised their two sons Dan and Mark. He was a third generation proprietor of Hill’s Market located on the corner of Witherspoon Street and Spring Street in downtown Princeton. The store was opened in 1909 by his grandfather William D. Hill after he sold the families 200 acre farm in Harbourton where the family had lived for many generations. Hill’s Market was destroyed by fire in 1977 after 67 years in business. A good Father, Father-in-Law, Grandfather and Great Grandfather, Paul was very well known in the Princeton Community. He was a member and past general manager of Springdale Golf Club, The Old Guard of Princeton and The Romeos, where he very much enjoyed his every weekday morning meetings at Bon Appetite in the Princeton Shopping Center with his friends and acquaintances. Paul marched in many Princeton Memorial Day parades and was thrilled to be more recently joined by his Great Grandson Sandro. After his wife June passed in 2013, he became close friends with Lorna June Andre, her daughter Anne Gunter and her family. They very much enjoyed their time together taking walks and talking about their families. Paul leaves behind many great memories for all that knew him. His passion for life and the people he knew live on in his rhymes, of which he penned over 100, many of which were published in the Town Topics and Princeton Packet. Paul is survived by his son and daughter-in-law Dan and Norma Hill of Doylestown, son and daughter-in-law Mark and Beth Hill of Hopewell, Maggi Hill Mother of Ryan, Brady and Rebecca, five grandchildren and their husbands and wives-Ryan and Kyle of Williamsburg/Brooklyn NY; Caitrin and Matt of Yardley, PA; Braden and Blair of Mullica Hill, NJ; Ellen Hill and Brian Vanderford of Doylestown, PA; Rebecca Hill of Pompano Beach, FL and six great grandchildren Sandro, Abram, Rockwell, Evie, Jameson and Bonnie; niece Jude Erhardt and Husband Gary Greely of Maryland; many more nieces and nephews in Colorado, and his close friends and neighbors whom he loved, including his very close friend Ann Goeke and her family. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Princeton High School Scholarship Fund at Fund101.org/donate Due to the continuing Covid virus pandemic the family will not be holding any services at this time. A celebration of life service will be scheduled sometime in 2021. Arrangements by Blackwelll Memorial Home, Pennington. For condolences go to website at blackwellmh.com.

The Princeton Planning Board has approved an 80-unit age-restricted affordable housing apartment building off Thanet Circle proposed by PIRHL LIHTC Urban Renewal, rounding out the redevelopment of a former office park. Princeton Planning Director Michael LaPlace outlined the application before the Planning Board at its Nov. 17 meeting. He said it is a companion development to AvalonBay Communities’ Avalon Princeton Thanet Circle development, which itself was approved at the Planning Board’s Nov. 5 meeting. The AvalonBay Communities development, which is a 221-unit rental apartment and townhouse development, includes 11 affordable apartments. Combined, the AvalonBay Communities and PIRHL developments will create 91 affordable rental apartments for very low-, low- and moderate-income households. In Mercer County, the maximum income for a one-person household to qualify for a moderate-income apartment is $61,175, and for a two-person household is $69,915. A one-person household can earn up to $38,235 to qualify for a low-income apartment, and up to $43,697 for a two-person household. The maximum income for a one-person household to qualify for a very low income apartment is $22,941, and for a two-person household is $26,218. The two developments are part of the settlement agreement reached by the Municipality of Princeton and the Fair Share Housing Center, which sued Princeton – and many other New Jersey towns – over their alleged failure to provide their fair share of affordable housing. The PIRHL application proposed a fourstory apartment building on a two-acre lot, subdivided from the overall 15-acre parcel that is being redeveloped by AvalonBay Communities. It is part of the overall redevelopment for the office park, which has been vacant for several years. Project engineer Jay Kruse said the apartment building will contain a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments. There will be two outdoor areas with seating, where residents can gather. A community garden also is planned for the residents’ use. The parking lot is proposed to have 80 parking spaces – one for each apartment, Kruse said. But since it is likely that some residents will not have cars, some of the parking spaces

could be “banked” – not built, but available to be built if there is demand, he said. While the plan did not include provisions for electric vehicle charging stations, PIRHL agreed to provide two electric vehicle charging stations at the Planning Board’s request. Attorney Richard Hoff, who represented PIRHL, said that while his client would provide the two electric vehicle charging stations, “we are not optimistic” that there will be a demand for them. The development is earmarked for affordable housing for senior citizens. Princeton Councilman David Cohen, who sits on the Planning Board, countered that “the reality is that used (second-hand) electric vehicles are extremely affordable. We are not talking about Teslas. I think you might get some demand for it.” But the residents would have to pay for the electricity to charge the cars, and it is a matter of what the residents can afford for charging the cars, said Laura Schwager, senior vice president of development for PIRHL. Architect Jaquelin Camp provide more details about the design of the apartment building. She said there would be 73 two-bedroom apartments and seven one-bedroom apartments. Each apartment would have a small balcony. On the ground floor, the building will have a social services office and an exam room for possible medical clinic days, Camp said. The community room will have a kitchenette, tables and a lounge seating area. The building also includes an indoor bicycle storage area. Amenities on the upper floors include a fitness center, a game room and another small community room. Each floor will have its own laundry room. There will be sprinklers to extinguish small fires that may break out. The building is being constructed to be energy efficient, and it will be solar ready, Camp said. PIRHL will decide whether it makes sense to install solar panels on the roof, but the building will be ready to accept them if they are to be installed, she said. The Planning Board members were receptive to the application, and voted unanimously to approve it. Casting his vote to approve the application, Planning Board member Tim Quinn said, “I think this is a very exciting project. It is well done.”

Princeton Planning Board approves 221-unit Thanet Circle development By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

The Princeton Planning Board gave its unanimous stamp of approval to a proposed 221unit development on Thanet Circle, off Terhune Road, at a special meeting Nov. 5 – the second of two meetings to consider the application. The Planning Board approved Thanet Road Urban Renewal LLC’s application for the development, which will include 193 rental apartments and 28 townhouses on the 12.8-acre parcel. They will replace two vacant office buildings on the property. The development, which is being built by AvalonBay Communities, would be known as Avalon Princeton Thanet Circle. Of the 193 rental apartments, 11 would be set aside for affordable housing, including five units earmarked for residents with special needs. The housing development is intended to help Princeton meet its obligation to provide affordable housing. The town was sued by the nonprofit Fair Share Housing Center – along with other towns in New Jersey – for allegedly failing to provide its fair share of affordable housing. Planning Board members encouraged the applicant to install solar panels and more than six electric vehicle charging stations in the parking lots outside of the apartment buildings. Two electric vehicle charging stations are required in the parking lots. Electric vehicle charging stations will be included in the garages of the townhouses. Planning Board Chairman Louise Wilson said New Jersey requires greenhouse gas emissions to be reduced by 80% in 2050. Since it will mean switching from gasoline-powered cars to electric vehicles, it would save the applicant money by installing electrical conduits now instead of having to retrofit them later, she said. Attorney Peter Flannery, who represented Thanet Road Urban Renewal LLC, said it is not in the developer’s agreement with the town to install anything “above and beyond” what is in that agreement between the developer and the town.

“I think AvalonBay will be sorry” that it is not installing additional electric conduits for future electric vehicle charging stations, Wilson said. When the meeting was opened for public comment, several residents called for the developer to address fire safety issues – while the buildings are under construction and in the buildings themselves. They cited pending legislation that is in front of the State Legislature. A proposed State Senate bill would require wood frame-constructed buildings – such as those proposed by AvalonBay Communities – to have automatic fire sprinklers and noncombustible fire partitions that extend from the foundation to the roof. The bill would also require a fire watch warden to be on site at all times while the buildings are under construction. The fire watch warden would notify first responders in the event of a fire or other emergency. The fire watch warden also would report fire safety issues to the Division of Fire Safety in the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. Grace Sinden reminded the Planning Board of fires in AvalonBay Communities apartment developments in Edgewater Park and Maplewood that displaced hundreds of residents. One of the fires in Edgewater Park destroyed a portion of the development while it was under construction. Sinden also mentioned a fire at the Griggs Farm townhouse and apartment development in Princeton in 2017 that killed one resident and displaced nearly three dozen residents. The development was not built by AvalonBay Communities. “I urge the Planning Board to do as much as possible to protect the residents,” Sinden said. Fires are disruptive and many tenants do not have insurance for the losses they may suffer because of a fire, she said. Flannery said his client was agreeable to some of the measures, and will install cement fire partitions from the basement to the roof.

Superintendent search committee prepares to interview semi-finalists By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

The search for a new superintendent of schools has entered the next phase, as the school board’s superintendent search committee prepares to interview semi-finalists for the top administrative post. School board member Betsy Baglio said consultant School Exec Connect provided the committee with a list of seven semi-finalists. The committee will meet with the semi-finalists during December. Once the search committee winnows down the list to the top three contenders, it will hold a second set of interviews and listen to the candidates’ presentations. The goal is to have a new superintendent of

schools in place by July 1, 2021. “We are very pleased we are at that stage. We have many, many hours of interviews scheduled in December,” Baglio told the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education at its Nov. 17 meeting. School Exec Connect was awarded a $32,900 contract to find a replacement for former Superintendent of Schools Steve Cochrane, who retired June 30. The search firm is based in Oak Park, Illinois. The school board hired Barry Galasso, a retired superintendent of schools and an adjunct professor at Gwynedd Mercy University in Pennsylvania, to serve as the interim superintendent. He is being paid $220,000 for a one-year contract that started July 1 and will end June 30, 2021.

An online survey was launched soon after school began in September to determine the qualities and characteristics that a new superintendent of schools should possess. Focus groups and informal forums also were held with the same goal in mind. The survey, focus groups and informal forums also sought to develop a sense of the school district’s strengths and the areas that need improvement, in addition to finding out what the community wants in a new school leader. The online survey drew responses from 269 people, while the focus groups and informal forums dew more than 100 participants that included parents, students, staff and community members. Kevin O’Mara of School Exec Con-

nect said he also received about two dozen emails from people who may not have felt comfortable expressing their views in a group setting. He said he also spoke to about two dozen people who called to offer input. The result of the combined survey, focus groups, informal forums and one-onone contact with O’Mara of School Exec Connect is a “New Superintendent Profile.” Among the traits being sought in the new superintendent are someone who is highly visible and personable; a visionary leader who inspires others and who is a team-builder; and someone who is an outstanding communicator who is aware of the need for community involvement.
