Speed limit on Terhune Road reduced to 25mph in anticipation of 400 homes By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
The speed limit on Terhune Road, between North Harrison Street and Randall Road, has been reduced from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. The reduced speed limit took effect immediately after an ordinance was adopted by the Princeton Council at its Dec. 7 meeting. Signs indicating the new speed limit are in place. The reduction in the speed limit was made in anticipation of the development of about 400 new homes, both townhouses and rental
apartments, along Terhune Road. The Princeton Planning Board has approved the redevelopment of the former Thanet Circle office park into a 221-unit townhouse and rental apartment development by AvalonBay Communities, and an age-restricted 80-unit affordable housing development by PIRHL Developers LLC. An additional 100 housing units are anticipated to be built on the corner of North Harrison Street and Terhune Road, opposite the Princeton Medical Group physicians offices. The reduction in the speed limit will work in tandem with proposed
bicycle and pedestrian improvements along that stretch of Terhune Road. The Community Master Plan calls for installing bicycle lanes on Terhune Road, and a sidewalk on the south side of Terhune Road between North Harrison Street and Meadowbrook Drive. Princeton Councilwoman Mia Sacks said the residents in the Terhune Road neighborhood have been asking for a speed reduction for almost 20 years, and it means a lot that their voices have been heard. “I think this is more than a speed reduction for the residents of the neighborhood. It makes them
feel like they are important to the Princeton Council,” Sacks said. Princeton Council President David Cohen praised Mayor Liz Lempert for her role in the effort to reduce the speed limit. She was “instrumental” in getting it done, he said. Lempert acknowledged that “this (has been) a long, long effort.” “I think it’s a reflection of the fact that there are a lot of changes going on along this stretch of Terhune Road. It’s in recognition that there is going to be significantly more development on this stretch of road, and we need to bring the
speed limit down,” Lempert said. Lisa Serieyssol, who serves on Princeton Bicycle Advisory Committee, said that lowering the speed limit on Terhune Road is an initiative that is “near and dear” to the committee. Terhune Road is used by bicyclists and pedestrians to go to the Princeton Shopping Center, parks and schools as much as it is used by motorists, she said. “Once the development is in place, it is critically important for the people living in those units who rely on transportation by walking, riding a bicycle or public transportation,” Serieyssol said.

D&R Greenway Land Trust releases new video featuring Babe Ruth’s granddaughter
SUBSCRIBE 732-254-7004
Little Leaguers and their families will be inspired by watching D&R Greenway’s latest video “Fields of Dreams” featuring sports and the outdoors in the starring role. Linda Ruth Tosetti, granddaughter of legendary home-run hitter Babe Ruth, tells personal stories about the Babe’s early life and how he became motivated to become a baseball player. “My grandfather looked up to Father Mathais, a mountain of a man, and Babe stood head and shoulders over the other kids,” Tosetti said in a prepared statement regarding her grandfather’s mentor at a Catholic school. Viewers are treated to historic photos of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor from Babe Ruth’s youth. Sports fans will hear the story of how he learned to throw. The video begins with D&R Greenway trustee James Fiorentino, an artist who has painted many of baseball’s legendary players. Fiorentino was the youngest artist ever to have his art featured in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in
Babe Ruth’s granddaughter, Linda Russo Torsetti
Cooperstown, New York, when he was only 15 years of age. Having begun his sports art career with Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, Fiorentino became a college baseball player himself, according to the statement. He talks about the connection he feels to the land while outdoors in the field, and how important this is in
forming a lifelong love of nature. Since 1989, D&R Greenway has permanently protected over 21,000 acres of land in central New Jersey. Fiorentino became vice chair of the Board of Trustees of the land trust in 2019, according to the statement. Farm View Fields and Greenway Meadows parks in Princeton
were both saved from housing developments and preserved in 2001 through the leadership of D&R Greenway. These parks provide baseball and soccer fields, as well as places to walk and experience the outdoors, according to the statement. In the video, D&R Greenway’s President and CEO Linda Mead shares that being outdoors in nature cultivates creativity and calm in children who are known to have ADHD, according to the statement. The viewer learns that, in fact, Babe Ruth may have had “nature-deficit disorder,” a term coined by author Richard Louv in his book “Last Child in the Woods” published in 2005. Tosetti insists that, throughout his legendary life, her grandfather was sustained by nature. “He was a fisherman and huntsman. That’s where he got his solace,” she said in the statement. During the past year, D&R Greenway partnered with the Trenton Thunder baseball team at Waterfront Park in Trenton where parts of the video were filmed.

“The way many, many people connect with nature and the outdoors is through the sports their children play when they are young,” Mead said in the statement. High school students from the Latin American Legal Defense and Education Fund’s FUTURO program share how they feel when they are out in nature, according to the statement. These students have worked in partnership with D&R Greenway over the past year, learning about nature’s benefits, clean water and open spaces. In contrast to being indoors during the pandemic, these students’ words about “a good lost” while outside on a wide, open field will stick with the viewer for a long time.

Princeton Council awards new contract for sewer replacement By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
In response to a lack of progress on the Spruce Street/Linden Lane sewer replacement project, the Princeton Council canceled its contract with Integrated Construction Utilities of New Jersey and awarded a contract for some of the work to another contractor. The Princeton Council approved the termination of the contract with Integrated Construction Utilities and also awarded a new contract for $230,068 to S. Brothers Inc., which is based in South River, on an emergency services basis at a special meeting Nov. 23. S. Brothers Inc. was hired to complete paving and related work on Spruce Street, which was torn up by the former contractor, in time to prevent further damage to the road surface and residents’ driveway
aprons resulting from the winter freezethaw cycle. The Princeton Council signed an agreement in May 2019 with Integrated Construction Utilities of New Jersey for the sewer replacement project, Municipal Attorney Lisa Maddox said. About 40% of the work on the project is incomplete, and the company has not made any progress, she said. It is about four months behind schedule. In a Nov. 2 letter to the contractor, Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton disputed allegations that the town had delayed progress on the job – specifically, work change orders. The contractor is obligated to keep working, even if there are outstanding claims and issues between it and the town, she wrote. “Any and all delays on this project since the ‘notice to proceed’ was issued (on Nov. 7, 2019) is due to Integrated Construction
Utilities of New Jersey’s own actions and inaction on this project,” Stockton wrote. “(The contractor) has failed to prosecute work on this project with any regularity and consistency, and without any adherence to project milestones. Accordingly, Princeton intends to terminate this contract and pending termination, remove certain work from this project within three days hereof due to safety concerns,” she wrote. The project calls for replacing the sanitary sewer main and make repairs to the laterals – pipes that connect houses to the sewer main; storm sewer pipe and inlet repairs; gas main and service replacements by Public Service Gas & Electric Co.; and roadway resurfacing and sidewalk replacement on Spruce Street. The same work is to be performed on a portion of Linden Lane, between Nassau Street and Hamilton Avenue. On the rest of Linden Lane, between Hamilton Avenue

and Henry Avenue, the work is limited to the sanitary sewer main and replacements and repairs to the laterals that connect the houses to the sewer main; and roadway resurfacing. The Princeton Council awarded a $2.7 million contract to Integrated Construction Utilities of New Jersey in May 2019, and work began in October 2019. Work was halted for a winter shutdown, and then suspended in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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!

CosmeticforDentistry CLASSIC SMILES
Presented by James J. Cally, D.M.D. KEEP THAT SOCKET COVERED! Although there will likely be some discomfort involved in having a tooth removed, many people find relief from the pain of an infected or impacted tooth. However, if the pain becomes worse a few days after the extraction, you may be dealing with a relatively rare condition called “dry socket.� When a tooth is removed, it leaves a hole known as a socket, and in most cases that socket will be filled with a blood clot that covers the nerves to protect them until the gums heal. If that blood clot becomes dislodged, it leaves the nerves exposed, resulting in intense pain. This is why your dentist will tell you to avoid things like using a straw after extraction. Whether you are in our office for a tooth extraction, a smile makeover, or for a simple cleaning, our personal, casual, and relaxed style in providing quality dental care will help put you at ease.
We’ll take the time to get to know your needs, answer your questions about home care of your dental issues, tell you about the latest techniques and materials, and make sure that you are comfortable. Find out just how pleasant a visit to the dentist and enhancing your smile can be—call 609924-8300 for complete family dental care at Montgomery Knoll, 192 Tamarack Circle, Skillman. “Our commitment is to relationships of partnership, respect, and appreciation.� “We offer cosmetic and family dentistry as well as Zoom!Ž and InvisalignŽ.�
A support group for public health employees will be held at 4 p.m. Thursdays in December.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Daughter returns favor by having father’s article printed in the Packet Forty nine years ago this month, my sweet father John van Raalte made one of my wishes come true, and it involved The Princeton Packet. I was a young girl of seven then and wanted a story I had written to be published in the paper. My father, being the kind of man who would move heaven and earth to grant a wish of mine and to bring me joy, paid for a classified ad in The Princeton Packet just to please me. Now, many years later, I find that I would love to do something equally wonderful for my father. My father is now 82 years old and he is still the “Superman” that I grew up with, although perhaps a little less physically capable than when he was younger (we forced him to give up things like skiing and climbing ladders to clean the gutters at 80), but in every other way, he is still an amazing man. He keeps mentally sharp by tutoring my 12-year-old nephew in French, math, science and English. He also loves Kenkens
and Suduko puzzles and shares them with family members. While all of this would seem to be enough for most mere mortals, it is not enough for him. You see, my dad was an engineer who holds 19 patents; he graduated from MIT both undergrad and with his PhD and then moved to Princeton. He worked for RCA (now SRI International) on Route 1 from 1964-89 and then for Thompson Consumer Electronics and then Philips in Dijon, France, and Maastricht, Netherlands, respectively, before retiring to Princeton. He speaks five languages fluently and is an avid corrector of grammar and table manners. For years he’s been happily retired, traveling with my mother, spending time friends and family, fixing things around the house, helping friends and neighbors with computer issues or doing their taxes etc. This kept him interested enough until along came COVID-19. Now his focus is
on graphing many statistics about different states and countries. He even has tried to explain to all of us in the family, as well as to his friends, why the prediction graphs that the media are using aren’t the “right type of graph” to use. He firmly believes they should be using a Logarithmic graph and, frankly, I couldn’t quite follow what he was saying. However, this year, my father, the man who only occasionally asks me for Excel help on how to do a mail merge for the address files for the annual Christmas letter, asked me for help with something I know nothing about. He asked me how he could contact someone like a newspaper or New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or Anderson Cooper or someone. He desperately wanted someone who was getting quoted in the media to listen to his opinions and predictions (in March he did accurately predict the number of cases there would be in the U.S. by August), but no one answered his emails or letters. He has managed to pub-
lish in Quora.com, which has made him happy, but I was hoping for more. For a Christmas present to him, I would so love if I could in some way get one of his posts published in The Princeton Packet. It would mean the world to him, and I would be returning a kindness he did for me all those years ago. Unfortunately, my story of a pony eating an apple because it had salt on it clearly does not require the same qualifications as required to publish opinions about COVID-19 statistics, and as my father is not a medical expert, the papers aren’t able to quote any of his writings. I’m hoping that my father will be just as happy with this article and knowing that a reader can look up his writings on Quora. com or send him a message on Facebook if you’d like to hear more. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Princetonians are equally deserving to be safe from known harms 2020 has been a hard year for everyone. I lost my best friend, Dr. Stephanie Chorney, a local artist, grassroots activist, member of the New Jersey Environmental Lobby and former co-chair of the Princeton Environmental Commission. When I am struggling, my mother reminds me that “God will send a messenger.” Stephanie was that messenger for 8 years for me. We were the same age, both mothers to young boys, and we shared December birthdays. Our dedication to social and environmental justice, however, is what created our deep and unshakeable bond. My passion to make Princeton and New Jersey greener, cleaner, and more equitable are now joined with the desire to make sure that Dr. Stephanie Chorney’s “memory is a blessing.” I am losing my patience with our local elected officials, who have the power, privilege and responsibility to act, and refuse to do so. I do not believe Princeton elected offi-
cials are “climate deniers,” but their inaction over decades on public health issues and their refusal to consider proven solutions make them complicit in what they claim to be fighting. We promote ourselves as “sustainable and welcoming,” we don’t walk the talk. Princeton leadership undermined the good work of Dr. Stephanie Chorney, Daniel Harris and myself. We started the movement to pass plastic pollution in Princeton in 2011. Trenton, Pennington and Hopewell all passed ordinances over the past decade. Princeton leaders failed to act despite the fact that Princeton residents passed the 2014 Mercer County referendum – overwhelmingly. A few weeks ago, Gov. Phil Murphy signed S864, the Plastic Pollution Act, now the strictest in our nation. I started testifying for state action in 2013. My bill, “Regenerate Princeton – ByoBag”- the first and arguably the best – advocated for a fee charge of 10 cents on paper bags. It otherwise mirrors the state bill, which I fully support.
Another issue that has recently gathered incredible energy is the problem of gaspowered leaf blowers. Grace Sinden, former Princeton Environmental Commission chair, began the fight for an ordinance over two decades ago. Eunice Wong, a 14-year Princeton resident, started a petition last week, calling for a leaf blower ordinance in 2021. I have written an excellent draft ordinance. You can sign the petition at www. change.org/Leaf_Blower_Ordinance_2021 Together we, along with Quiet Princeton, and at the time of writing over 320 Princeton residents, as well as 1,673 supporters from around the globe, want an ordinance in 2021 to address the inequity towards landscape workers, noise and air pollution. The petition will be presented at the virtual council meeting on Dec. 21. Please sign it and attend the council meeting if you can. Visit www.change.org/Leaf_Blower_ Ordinance_2021. Then, please send your email to LBOr-
dinance2021@gmail.com or to me so you can receive updates, and, most importantly, so Eunice can reach out with future petitions on the issue. Gas-powered leaf blowers, like plastic pollution, are a public health issue. Landscape workers are forced to use machinery that causes irreparable harms: hearing loss, respiratory and cardiovascular disease, hypertension, asthma, cancer and dementia. We, the privileged in Princeton, must be the voice for the voiceless in Princeton, the poor, the undernourished, those with bad water, and low paid workers, many of whom don’t speak English. Environmental activism is about equity and justice. Let’s live by our values, let’s listen to our Environmental Commission. We are after all, all Princetonians, equally deserving to be safe from known harms and nuisance.

nior vice president, Nissan U.S. Marketing and Sales. “Rogue is playing to win in the midsize crossover game with the ideal mix of expressive design, advanced technology, safety, comfort and versatility.” The editors at Car and Driver seem to think the new design is an overall winner. “Historically, the Rogue has sold well against segment leaders such as Honda CRV, Mazda CX-5 and Volkswagen Tiguan,” writes Car and Driver. “But, it wasn’t as good overall, languishing far down in our rankings. With this redesign, Nissan’s money maker turns up the charm in an attempt to shake off its history of mediocrity. We think they have been relatively successful (with the redesign).” I would have to agree. After driving this new Rogue for one week, I found it to be attractive – both inside and out – comfortable, peppy with enough new pizzazz to lift it out of the hohum category into a serious segment contender. The model I drove – the SL AWD – carries a base price of $33,400. My tester added premium paint as an option for $395, $385 for a floor mat and cargo area protection package and $1,095 for destination and handling. The bottom line sticker price on my tester came in at $35,275.
The Rogue is also available in the base model S (starting at $26.745), SV ($28,425) and Platinum ($36,525). The fuel economy ratings for the new Rogue have not been released, but Nissan claims the fuel economy has been improved slightly to 29 miles per gallon overall for the all wheel drive model and up to 30 mpg for the front wheel drive Rogues. According to Car and Driver, on their 200 mile highway test drive, the new Rogue got an impressive 32 miles per gallon. The new Rogue is the first Nissan to feature the Japanese auto maker’s Nissan Safety Shield 360 technology. This new technology package includes: automatic emergency braking with pedestrian protection; blind spot warning; rear cross traffic alert; lane departure warning; high beam assist; and rear automatic braking. Also new in this Rogue is something Nissan calls its Vehicle Motion Control. This feature works in conjunction with its four wheel drive system and drive mode selector to provide a smoother more secure ride by making adjustments depending on the driver’s driving style and road conditions. Overall, the newly designed Rogue is worth checking out if you are considering purchasing or leasing a compact to midsized SUV or crossover. Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly.

Steve Kornacki and Ingrid Reed
Steve Kornacki and Ingrid Reed
I
n New Jersey, Steve Kornacki has achieved Bruce Springsteen rock-star status among the politically passionate and electoral nerdy set. His chinos are now as iconic as Springsteen’s denims. And Ingrid Reed, the producer of Steve’s Princeton speaking events, has the appeal among New Jersey political aficionados of a Dolly Parton at a Country Music Awards ceremony. Working far more than nine to five and often 48 hours nonstop without sleep, Kornacki, the NBC News national political correspondent, whose granular coverage of election results has earned him national acclaim, spoke on Dec. 10 at a virtual Princeton Public Library/Princeton Adult School event. “Election 2020: What’s Next,” the concluding program in Ingrid Reed’s series of educational Election 2020 seminars, attracted an astounding 646 people, many of whom live in the Princeton area, but some Zooming in from places all over North America. Furthermore, most attendees stayed till the end of the program, a few dozen submitted thoughtful questions, and everyone patiently endured delays that were due to some technical difficulties. With clarity, intelligence, and enthusiasm, Steve simply and succinctly shed light on the extraordinary complexities of the election

2020, and why at 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 4, the morning after Election Day, it really did appear that Donald Trump could have been reelected. Ingrid’s legacy involves neither her singing nor her wardrobe. A founder and board chair of NJ Spotlight and formerly the director of the NJ Project at Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute of Politics, Reed is known for her passionate, insistent, perseverant, strategic pursuit of civics education for New Jerseyans, and is driven by her belief that education is the key to a thriving democracy. She is best known in Princeton for producing and moderating her Princeton Public Library/ Princeton Adult School programs and writing columns in various New Jersey media about state politics. I have joined the ranks of hundreds of area residents who are dedicated students at what amounts to the Ingrid Reed School of NJ Politics. Even though she has held many jobs in her life, including mother, grandmother, and wife for more than 60 years to the recently deceased former Princeton Borough Mayor Marvin Reed, educating New Jerseyans about New Jersey’s political system has remained her number one avocation. Her goal of promoting a fact-based understanding of how our democracy works also has been
very important to several of her professional roles at not only Rutgers Eagleton Institute, but also Princeton University (assistant dean of Public Affairs) and Rockefeller University (vice president for Public Affairs). Kornacki recognized Ingrid’s intense commitment to the integrity and strengthening of our political system, when he first met her in 2002. The friendship between Ingrid and Steve began when Ingrid met Steve at the News 12 New Jersey studios in Edison. Frustrated by the fact News 12 was not available to Princeton residents, Ingrid decided to watch the returns and analysis of the New Jersey election by showing up at News 12 studios and watching it on the monitors. Steve at the time was co-host of a political news series for News 12 New Jersey – right before he left to work for PoliticsNJ.com. The 2002 United States Senate election in New Jersey on Nov. 5 was considered high drama in those days – perhaps not so dramatic compared to nowadays. The contest for U.S. Senate featured former West Windsor Township Mayor Republican Douglas Forrester versus former U.S. Senator Democrat Frank Lautenberg. Sen. Lautenberg was called out of retirement five weeks before Election Day to replace Democratic incumbent Senator Robert Torricelli, who ended his campaign because of major ethics troubles. “Ingrid became one of my very favorite people,” said Steve, who acknowledged that he would do anything for Ingrid – very good news for the Princeton Public Library which now has hosted him twice in the past 11 months. Not one to rest on her laurels or to rest at all, Ingrid’s next project is what might be called an online primer on New Jersey redistricting since 2021 is the year to redraw legislative and congressional districts based on the census results. It starts with a brief reference to New Jersey’s role in shaping what the U.S. constitution says about redistricting and concludes with a description of New Jersey’s current reform version of redistricting. I do not know when or where Ingrid will be speaking on this topic, but one thing is certain – I will be there. I would like to cast my vote in favor of these virtual presentations.
As much as I adored seeing Steve in person on Jan. 8 in the library’s community room, the discussion on Dec. 10 was in fact far more democratic. The virtual event allowed for nearly 10 times the number of people to participate. And thanks to the chat function, I was even able to connect with some friends to whom I had not spoken in months. The downside to a virtual event is the lack of a post-discussion, face-to-face book signing, but Princeton’s Labyrinth Books did offer a discount to those participants who purchased the Steve Kornacki Book The Red and the Blue. And furthermore, an in-person event might have thwarted a discussion of Steve’s chinos, because of his self-effacing and seemingly easily embarrassed demeanor. Ingrid announced that Steve had donated $30,000 worth of chinos pants – that the Gap sent him as a promotion – to a Boys and Girls Club of America. “There is no silver bullet to success,” said the Boys and Girls Club of America website. It takes an army of people, a safe environment, high-quality programs and unique experiences to level the playing field for all kids. Boys & Girls Clubs don’t just do one thing, we do whatever it takes to build great futures for America’s young people.” And that includes providing professional clothing items – like Steve Kornacki chinos – to any young person striving to enter the business world. All I can say is that the Kornacki/Reed words of wisdom are a perfect fit for me.

Hearing for proposed turf fields will determine board jurisdiction By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
The Princeton Planning Board will decide in February about whether the board takes jurisdiction for Princeton Academy of Sacred Heart’s minor site plan application, which proposes the construction of two turf fields on the school’s campus. During the planning board meeting on Dec. 10 the Princeton Academy application was carried to Feb. 4. While the board did take jurisdiction regarding the notice, board members wanted to hear more testimony on the application before making a decision about whether to take action. Princeton Academy is seeking minor site plan and conditional use approval to convert existing natural grass playing fields to synthetic turf fields and enlarge the overall area of the athletic fields. The project would construct 4.2 acres of synthetic turf playing fields on the school’s campus at Great Road. If the board takes jurisdiction and were then to approve the application, the turf fields, once constructed, would also be
leased by Princeton Academy to the Princeton Soccer Association (PSA) for use after school programs are concluded during the weekdays and weekends. The question of jurisdiction was raised by Stuart Lieberman, attorney for one of the objectors to the application, who stated that the proposed project is inconsistent with the conditional zoning for site, which only allows for accessory uses. “There is no way that this separate businesses activity is an accessory use to the school and that is how it is being portrayed. PSA is not the owner of the property and not a contract purchaser of the property,� Lieberman said. “What they are proposing to do is to have a completely unrelated organization, which may or may not be for profit, called the Princeton Soccer Academy, and transform the field in the back of the school to two soccer fields with artificial turf and run a very expansive soccer program on the fields.� He added that what is being proposed are two principal uses. “One is the school, which is a condi-
tional use, and now there is a separate use of these fields turning it into a monetized type of situation with extraordinary field play,� Lieberman said. “The right application is a D-variance, because they are seeking to expand their conditional use. Princeton Academy is seeking to expand its conditional use by allowing an activity that is not customarily accessory there too.� Robert Ridolfi, the attorney representing Princeton Academy, in response said Lieberman neglected to mention that Princeton’s land use ordinance permits nonprofit membership clubs for outdoor sports, including swim clubs, having no nuisance factor. “The leasee of this application is a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation and is a membership club for outdoor sports and we believe it is permitted under the conditional use section of your land use ordinance,� he added. “Almost every educational organization in Princeton has taken advantage of using its facility or sharing their facilities with different organizations
for fee generating purposes, so the school itself can survive.� When asked to weigh in, Princeton Zoning Officer Derek Bridger did state that the school is a conditional use. “The soccer academy has presented proof that they are a non-profit, which would entitle them to operate under nonprofit memberships clubs for outdoor sports and the key is having no nuisance factor,� he said. “I think we are in the right board. I think the key is to hear the case and analyze the nuisance factors.� If the planning board does not take jurisdiction, the application would be referred to the Princeton Zoning Board. “I think we have to continue with the application and basically take the jurisdictional objection by Mr. Lieberman under advisement, so we would basically be reviewing the application but contingent upon ultimately a decision by the board that the board has jurisdiction,� Princeton Planning Board attorney Gerry Muller said. “If it does not have jurisdiction, then it denies the application.�
Sierra Club: West Windsor getting paved over with warehouses West Windsor has reached a settlement agreement with Atlantic Realty Development Corporation regarding the former Howard Hughes property. The 653-acre undeveloped property is located at Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road. According to the settlement agreement, 5.5 million square feet of warehouse and distribution facilities will be developed within the interior of the site with retail, office, hotel, and other commercial uses along Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road. “West Windsor is already being overrun by sprawl, and now they’re adding warehouse sprawl. The last large areas of open space in the area will now be paved over with warehouses. This is a giveaway to developers. It will cause more truck traffic, more water pollution, and more air pollution. This site is already across from the Quaker Bridge Mall, Mercer Mall, and Nassau Park Pavilion. This area doesn’t need any more commercial development,� said Jeff Tittel, director of the New Jersey Sierra Club, in a statement released Dec. 14. “This area already has too much traffic, and this proposal will only make it worse. A 5.5 mil-
lion square foot warehouse is more than 5 times the size of the Quaker Bridge Mall. This is the wrong project in the wrong place at the wrong time.� There will be no residential units built on the site. The former developer, Howard Hughes Corporation (HHC), initially proposed nearly 2,000 residential units within a mixed-use plan development on the site. HHC’s conceptual proposal in 2017 included housing units, retail and office space, walking trails, parks, and potential sites for a hotel and school. “Industrial development like this will bring in large trucks that generate air pollution, noise pollution, and traffic safety. This project will bring in thousands of trucks a day along Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road, creating a commuter’s nightmare as people try to get to the NJ Turnpike and into Trenton. It will also put pressure to bring back the Route 92 project that we stopped over 15 years ago. A 5.5 million square foot facility will also increase impervious cover, causing more runoff and flooding. This is an area that already floods, and building a massive warehouse complex will only make flooding
worse worse,� Tittel said in the statement. “This project will also increase West Windsor’s housing obligation, which means even more sprawl.� Tittel said New Jersey is turning from the Garden State “to the Warehouse State.� “This massive sprawl warehouse proposal is just one of many in New Jersey. There are warehouse proposals in Somerset County and Burlington County, a housing project in Hampton, a power plant in Warren Glenn, and the PennEast pipeline. Most of these projects are on conservation or environmentally sensitive lands in the Highlands. All of this warehouse space will increase the towns’ affordable housing obligation which means even more development,� Tittel said in the statement. “These warehouses mean more truck traffic. This will cost the towns tens of millions of dollars, which means higher taxes. They will need to rebuild bridges, fix intersections, put in traffic lights, and update other infrastructure to allow for the heavy truck traffic in these areas.� A recent study looked at how 15 proposed warehouse projects in New Jersey could impact traffic congestion. The study,
which was conducted by the Warren County Planning Department and funded by the NJ Highlands Council, found that the potential long-term impacts of these developments would be substantial, according to the statement. Increased traffic to and from the sites would degrade road conditions, and many road intersections wouldn’t be able to accommodate increased truck traffic. “We are fighting the same battles in Somerset County, Monmouth County, Gloucester County, Hunterdon County, Cape May County, and many other areas. These projects impact critical, sensitive farmland in the middle of the Highlands. These are prime agricultural soils that should be protected. These types of large facilities will mean more traffic, more flooding, and more pollution. These projects also increase the towns’ affordable housing obligation, which means even more development and sprawl,� Tittel said in the statement. “It is critical that the state steps up to protect and preserve the scenic and farmland areas left in New Jersey. Otherwise, we will be paving over one of the last unspoiled areas of the state with warehouses.�

Gynecologic Care For Every Phase of Life
F
rom adolescence through menopause and beyond, regular gynecologic care can help keep women healthy throughout their lives. And as your body changes, the care you need does too. The Adolescent Years When it comes to women’s health, the adolescent years are typically marked by two significant firsts – your first menstrual period and your first gynecologic exam. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), most girls start their periods between the ages of 12 and 13 years, but some may start earlier or later. However, girls should see a doctor if their period does not start by age 15 or if they started their period, but then it stops for more than three months. They should also see their doctor if they experience: • Heavy bleeding that soaks through a pad or tampon every one or two hours • A period that last for more than seven days • A period that comes more often than every 21 days or less than every 45 days In addition, ACOG recommends that girls should have their first gynecologic visit between the ages of 13 and 15 years. Typically, girls will not need a pelvic exam on their first visit unless they are experi-
SOLUTIONS
encing problems such as pain or abnormal bleeding. During the first visit, the doctor will likely perform a general physical exam, and discuss any health concerns and recommended vaccinations, including vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and can lead to cervical cancer later in life. The HPV vaccine – administered as a series of two or three shots – is recommended for girls starting between the ages of 9 and 14. As girls become sexually active, their gynecologist can talk with them about protecting against STIs and discuss options for birth control. The Reproductive Years In general, as women advance through their late teens, 20s and 30s, their focus may shift from preventing pregnancy to wanting to start a family. Today, there are more options for birth control than ever before – from condoms to hormonal patches and rings to emergency contraception. With so many choices, it is important for women to talk with their gynecologist to identify an approach that is right for them. For women who are thinking more about getting pregnant than preventing
pregnancy, it is important to talk with their gynecologist about pre-conception planning and prenatal care to ensure a healthy pregnancy. It is also recommended that in addition to an annual pelvic exam, women between the ages of 21 and 29 have a Pap test every three years to screen for changes in the cervix that could lead to cancer. Women who are 30 to 65 should have a Pap test every five years. Additionally, incidents of fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other pelvic problems tend to peak between the mid-30s and mid-40s. Women experiencing pain, abnormal bleeding, or trouble getting pregnant should see their gynecologist. Many conditions can be treated safely and effectively with minimally invasive procedures. Perimenopause, Menopause, and Beyond For most women, their 40s and early 50s are marked by changes in menstruation as their ovaries stop making estrogen, the hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle. Menopause, often referred to as the change of life, is defined as the absence of a menstrual period for one year and signals the end of a woman’s childbearing years. The average age that women experience menopause is 51 years. However, changes and symptoms associated with menopause can begin years
earlier during a transition phase referred to as perimenopause. During perimenopause, the amount of estrogen produced by the ovaries begins to fluctuate, which can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, and weight gain. Bone loss also starts to accelerate and can lead to osteoporosis. For women experiencing symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause, gynecologists may recommend lifestyle changes, hormone therapy or a combination of the two. At the same time, as women grow older, their risk for cancer including breast, ovarian and uterine cancer also increases. Women should continue with their annual gynecologic exams, discuss their risk factors with their gynecologist, and follow the recommendations of their doctor for cancer screenings.

Inspiring personal story and example for us all
I
n this time of stress, environmental and political, TED Talks offers an inspirational, personal story in the form of a talk delivered by Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado. Beginning with his personal history growing up in rural Brazil, he recounts how he first studied economics before turning to photography.
Born in 1944, he grew up on a farm inland and north of Rio di Janeiro. The farm was originally 50% forest and was the home to 35 families. In that time, the farmers consumed pretty much all that they grew, except for cattle which members would herd once a year, on a 45-day cattle drive to market. Sebastiao left the farm when he was 15 to
get a better education. He followed that up by earning a master’s in economics in Sao Paulo and then a PhD in economics in Paris. During those years, he became an activist, and he met the woman who became his best friend, his collaborator, and his wife, Lelia Wanick Salgado. After earning his PhD, he worked for an investment bank that partnered with the World Bank on development projects. He traveled widely. But then suddenly photography “invaded” his life. It became his focus and his passion. And, as the TED Talks presentation reveals, he took numerous, strikingly beautiful and moving photos of people, their social plights, animals, and landscapes, which, taken all together, have no equal in the world of photography. A number were displayed at shows and collected into books. “Migrations” is the title of one of the most notable. While photographing in Rwanda during a period of strife, Salgado seemed to contract some incapacitating disease. He consulted a doctor in Paris, who determined that he was not sick but rather, having seen so much death in Rwanda, his emotional reaction had shut his body down. Sebastiao and Lelia decided to return to the family farm in Brazil. There, they were surprised by his parents giving the farm to him – his siblings were all sisters and not interested in farming.
But the farm at this time had been stripped of trees for the purpose of food cultivation. Only half of a percent of the former tree covering remained. This had allowed the topsoil to be washed away. Sebastiao saw that the land needed to be reforested. He consulted with a friend who understood land preservation. What was needed was the replanting of hundreds of thousands of trees in an effort to return the ecosystem to what it had been. This was done. The trees – several million – came back. Sebastiao and Lelia decided to give the land to the people as a nation park, which they called Instituto Terra. He also returned to photography, and focused on recording both people and animals, or as he terms it, us. But now he became starkly aware of how much the world needs its trees, to absorb our ever-increasing carbon dioxide emissions and produce needed oxygen. From the 110 groups of original peoples in the Amazon to cities and countries around the world, we all need trees, in order to survive. The Salgados urge that we all must fight hard to preserve the natural world on which we depend. In Brazil, much of its forests have been destroyed. In California, the redwoods are also threatened with extinction. Forests in Spain and India have been all but eliminated. Thus, for both the really moving beauty, as captured in his photographs, and the warning to save and re-establish our trees, view this TED Talk. It is striking, and essential.
Bank Street reconstruction project moving ahead with contract award By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
The long-awaited reconstruction of Bank Street is moving ahead, as the Princeton Council awarded a contract for $1.4 million to Earle Asphalt Co. at its Nov. 9 meeting. The Princeton Council had awarded a $1 million contract to S. Brothers Inc. last month, but the South River-based contractor withdrew its bid after it discovered that its bid contained an error in pricing. Earle Asphalt Co., which is based in Farmingdale, was the second lowest bidder – at $1.4 million – of the three contractors that bid on the job. The third bidder was Z. Brothers Concrete Contractors of Sayreville, which offered a bid of $1.7 million for the project. Municipal Engineer Deanna Stockton had estimated the project to cost $1.5 million. Part of the cost of the project will be offset by a $214,937 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s municipal aid grant program. Acknowledging that two of the three bids were below the engineer’s estimate, Stockton said that her office “errs on the side of caution” when it prepares its engineer’s estimate for a job. The goal is to encourage enough competition from among contractors to bid for the job, she said.
The Bank Street project, which has been in the works for more than a year, calls for replacing the sanitary sewer main underneath Bank Street and replacing the sanitary sewer lateral lines to the homes on Bank Street. An underground drainage system will be installed for stormwater runoff. The cement curbs will be replaced with granite curbs in front of the houses. The concrete sidewalks also will be replaced. A raised crosswalk will be installed at the intersection of Bank Street and Nassau Street. But the project does not include installing the utilities underground, as some residents had requested. Mayor Liz Lempert said the town looked into burying the utilities underground, but it is expensive. An “enormous” concrete vault would have to be installed under the road, and Bank Street is a tight, narrow street, she said. Lempert said “more time” has been spent on analyzing the Bank Street project and the possibility of installing utilities underground than on any other road project. Nevertheless, work will begin on the project in the next few weeks. The sanitary sewer replacement segment will be accomplished first. The sidewalks and curbs will be replaced in the spring, and then Bank Street will be repaved.

Princeton Public School District switches back to remote learning By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
The Princeton Public Schools, which brought students back into the classroom for hybrid learning, is putting it on hold and switching to remote learning for the next few weeks. The last day of hybrid learning will be Dec. 18, said Barry Galasso, the interim superintendent of schools. Hybrid learning will resume Jan. 12. o This means students will learn remotely for the week leading up to the winter break, fwhich runs Dec. 24 to Jan. 2. They will learn sremotely for the first couple of weeks in Jansuary, before hybrid learning is implemented again Jan. 12. Hybrid learning alternates between nbringing small groups of students into the classroom for in-person learning for part of s -
the week, and learning remotely at home for part of the week. All students had been learning remotely for the first few weeks of the 2020-21 school year – except for pre-school and first-grade students and special education students, who began hybrid learning in September. The older students were brought back into the classroom for hybrid learning in phases during October. Galasso said the decision to switch to remote learning for the week leading up to the winter break and into January was made after consulting with medical experts. “Our coronavirus numbers remain low and we want to keep them that way. Having extra days to isolate or quarantine as necessary gives us a better chance of moving through January with healthy students and staff,” Galasso said.
Princeton school district officials implemented remote learning for students in the week after Thanksgiving break – Nov. 30 to Dec. 4 – to give students and staff some time to quarantine. The school district resumed hybrid learning on Dec. 7. Meanwhile, as the 2020 calendar year comes to a close, Galasso offered his condolences to all those who had experienced a loss. “It is my hope that we have a better year in 2021, and that we are able to get our students back into classrooms on a regular basis,” he said. “Our remote program gets stronger every day, but for the vast majority of our students, learning happens best in person and in a classroom.” During a normal school year, the teachers are passionate and dedicated, Galasso said. They spend nights and weekends thinking
about their students, preparing lesson plans and grading assignments. But what has been asked of teachers this year has gone far beyond dedication, he said. “To be a teacher in 2020 required actual courage. At a time when many people were working from home, our teachers, principals and supervisors donned their masks and marched into our schools,” he said. Galasso thanked every teacher and staff member for their commitment, noting that it exemplified “the best kind of courage.” And while a vaccine to protect against the coronavirus is on the horizon, “we are still in the midst of a pandemic. Vigilance, courage and endurance will continue to be necessary for at least the earl part of 2021,” Galasso said. “I thank everyone for doing their part,” he said.
Princeton school board member wraps up three-year term
By LEA KAHN
,Staff Writer It was a bittersweet moment for Jessica Deutsch, who wrapped up a three-year term on the Princeton Public Schools Board of k Education at its last meeting of the year on w Dec. 15. r Deutsch chose not to seek re-election to a second term in the Nov. 3 general election. / School board President Beth Behrend read a resolution acknowledging Deutsch’s t contributions to the school board during her single term on it. She served on the school board’s equity committee, policy committee d and student achievement committee. One by one, several of Deutsch’s colleagues on the school board offered comments and praise for the outgoing school e board member. A common theme running through their remarks was Deutsch’s compassionate nature for children and for others. One of the nicest things about serving on the school board is the opportunity to get to know people that one might not otherwise
have met, and Deutsch is one of those people, said school board member Dafna Kendal. “I have learned over the years that Jess is incredibly intelligent, and her kindness and care for students permeates all of her thinking. She will be missed,” Kendal said. School board vice president Michele Tuck Ponder said she became acquainted with Deutsch when their daughters played field hockey at Princeton High School. “One of the things that I don’t think I really knew about Jess is the level and intensity of her compassion for other people. Jess is a person who not only cares about the outside, but she cares deeply about the inside (of a person),” Tuck Ponder said. Deutsch was a “leading voice” in the push for a later starting time for school, and she would constantly remind her colleagues on the school board about the importance of wellness and how it contribute to academic achievement, Tuck Ponder said. “Jess is always thoughtful and remembers to express gratitude to people and for
the blessings that we have. Thank you, Jess, for that quality that you brought to the school board and thank you for being a terrific and valued colleague,” she said. School board member Deb Bronfeld also thanked Deutsch for bringing the concept of gratitude to the board. She said she is looking forward to continuing the tradition of offering gratitude at each school board meeting. It was Deutsch’s “steadfast focus on the experiences of our students – from ensuring equitable opportunities for kids, to a clear and lasting focus on student health and wellness” – that school board member Betsy Baglio said she admired most about Deutsch. “I’m not sure you will miss us every Tuesday evening, but feel free to text us before a meeting and remind us that you have a free evening,” Baglio said, gently teasing Deutsch. School board member Brian McDonald, who said he has known Deutsch for 15 years, said she has spent her career focusing on service to others, primarily in the field of educa-
tion but also in social work. “I’m not sure I met anyone who is more committed to the health and wellness of children than Jess,” McDonald said. She is also very compassionate, he added. In response, Deutsch replied that no one ever said that serving on the school board would be easy. “It isn’t, and it shouldn’t be. Often, you feel like you are stuck on ‘The Three Bears’ (children’s story) on repeat. You spent too much, you didn’t spend enough. You did it too early, you did it too late. You said too much, you didn’t say enough,” she said. “Very rarely do you get to the part where things are ‘just right.’ The struggle, if it focuses on what’s in the best interests of our kids and our community, is worthwhile and necessary. “I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this board. I wish for all of you – the board and the community – to stay in the struggle and focus on what matters,” Deutsch said.

Rosedale Road Safe Routes to School engineering contract awarded By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
Aiming to make it safer for children to walk or ride their bicycles to the Johnson Park School, the Princeton Council has awarded a contract for preliminary engineering designs to improve the existing paths on Rosedale Road. The Princeton Council awarded a contract for $303,140 to engineering consultant NV5 to draw up the preliminary engineering plans at its Oct. 26 meeting, the first step in implementing the town’s latest Safe Routes to School grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Princeton received a $1 million state grant for improvements to the asphalt paths on Rosedale Road and to make improvements to the intersection of Rosedale Road and General Johnson Drive, which leads to the Johnson Park School.
The town will be reimbursed for up to $295,115 of the cost of NV5’s engineering contract by the Federal Highway Administration. The existing asphalt path on the north side of Rosedale Road, between Elm Road and Christopher Drive, varies from 6 to 7 feet in width. It is too narrow to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. The proposal is to widen the path to 8-10 feet to make room for both pedestrians and bicyclists. The town’s initial Safe Routes to School grant application also sought to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Rosedale Road and General Johnson Drive, but the New Jersey Department of Transportation denied it. Traffic signals must be approved by the state agency. “At this point, we do not seem to meet the warrant for a full traffic signal, but we are endeavoring to find some sort of active traf-
fic control device to be used at the General Johnson Drive intersection,” Stockton told the Princeton Council. One possibility is a HAWK signal, Stockton said. It is one step above the push-button rectangular yellow flashing beacons that help pedestrians to cross the street, she said. A HAWK signal is a push-button device to stop motorists so that pedestrians and bicyclists can safely cross the street. When the button is pushed, a flashing yellow light is activated to warn oncoming motorists. After a few seconds, a second light turns red to stop motorists and to allow for pedestrians or bicyclists to cross the street. The HAWK device is not covered by the grant, so Princeton would have to pay for it out of its capital funds account, Stockton said. Once the preliminary design phase is completed – most likely in the second half
of 2021 – the project will move into the final design and construction phase, Stockton said. “We are just very excited that we are moving ahead,” Stockton said. Mayor Liz Lempert said she was pleased the project is moving forward. There are “quite a few” children who live close enough to ride their bicycle or walk to school, but who cannot do so because of the intersection of Rosedale Road and General Johnson Drive, Lempert said. “I think this is a really important and exciting project,” she said. The Rosedale Road project is Princeton’s second Safe Routes to School grant. The town received a grant to make improvements to the existing traffic signals on N. Harrison Street at Hamilton Avenue and N. Harrison Street at Franklin Avenue. The project was completed earlier this year.
Institute where Einstein spent his career undergoes major renovations
“Fuld Hall hasn’t been touched in a long time,” Mark A. Sullivan, architect and partner with the locally headquartered, globally active JZA+D, said in a prepared statement. “Given the evolution of scientific pursuit, the spaces within buildings like this one need retrofits to suit changing needs and to support the expansion of digital resources.” Sullivan and managing partner Joshua Zinder realigned and updated 2,000 square feet of the interior, but with a mission of providing a template for the complete interior renovation to come later, according to the statement. “Because most resources have been transferred to digital media and archived electronically, periodical rooms and library stacks are no longer the best use of space. New member offices are needed far more,” Sullivan said in the statement. At the institute, members are invited to work and study for a set term, as opposed to faculty who enjoy permanent positions and even retain their office spaces after retirement. The project team tore out the entire periodical room and punched new door openings from the hall to create space for three new member offices. Additionally, the design has replaced a mid-20th Century library stack with four more member offices, and one new faculty office. Old architectural drawings indicate this latter area may have included Einstein’s own faculty office, before it was converted to stacks in

1984, according to the statement. JZA+D’s scope for the project also included renovating the librarian and assistant librarian offices, as well as the 160-square-foot “secure stack,” which Sullivan said houses the institute’s most important and fragile volumes, according to the statement. As an ode to the building’s history, original millwork and shelving salvaged from the periodical room has been

reinstalled in the secure stack area of the librarians’ offices. The palette of durable finishes and furnishings for the updated interiors includes carpet tile for most floors, new LED lamps and fixtures, and updated drop ceiling systems to replace old sheet rock. “Some of the ceilings were actually an original plaster mix containing asbestos, creating additional challenges for the construction teams,” Sullivan said in the statement. The design team bore in mind that this project would be a trial run for a future full renovation of Fuld Hall, so the palette can be easily replicated in the future. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the overall outcome of this project,” Janine M. Purcaro, chief operating officer at the Institute for Advanced Study, said in the statement. “Mark and the whole team at JZA+D
are ideal collaborators, listening to our needs and working closely with us to deliver a promising template for the eventual full renovation of Fuld Hall.” The project could possibly include, in the future, updates to aging mechanical systems and replacement of the original, single-pane sash windows. Located in Princeton, JZA+D was founded in 2006 by principal Joshua Zinder, AIA, to deliver multidisciplinary services for sustainable and contemporary buildings, interiors and product designs. The collective educational and professional experience of JZA+D’s staff spans more than 95 years in global markets. JZA+D has won numerous design awards and its work has been seen in publications around the world.

Princeton University will allow all undergraduates on campus for spring 2021 semester
Princeton University will welcome back all undergraduate students enrolled at the university for the spring semester in 2021. The university made the announcement through a letter to the campus community by University President Christopher Eisgruber. “During the fall term, we cultivated strong public health norms and practices on the Princeton campus; monitored and learned from experiences with the virus at Princeton and elsewhere; and established an on-campus testing laboratory,” he said. “In light of that work, we have concluded that, if we test the campus population regularly, and if everyone on campus rigorously adheres to public health guidance about masking, social distancing and other practices, we can welcome a far greater number of students back to Princeton.” The university will continue to support remote learning for anyone who chooses it. “This invitation is in addition to the existing accommodations for our graduate students, many of whom we were able to welcome back to campus in the fall,” Eisgruber added. “As our undergraduates consider whether to opt for a residential or a remote experience this spring, we encourage them to think carefully about the special responsibilities and conditions associated with participating in our residential community while the pandemic continues.” According to the university, if undergraduates decide to return to campus for the spring semester there will be limitations and restrictions. They include: • Most instruction remaining online even for those undergraduates who reside on or proximate to campus. Classes with an in-
person component will be offered in hybrid format, meaning that every class will be available in an online format to students studying at Princeton or remotely. • Masking and social distancing requirements will apply throughout campus. • All undergraduate students residing on campus or in the Princeton area will be required to participate in the university’s coronavirus testing program and to comply strictly with all instructions related to contact tracing, quarantine and isolation. • Parties and most other social gatherings will be prohibited. • Undergraduate students will be prohibited from hosting visitors and will be restricted from traveling. • All returning undergraduates, including those from New Jersey, will be required to quarantine upon arrival to campus. • To reduce the risk of spread within dormitories, we will house students on a oneto-a bedroom basis. Depending on demand, some students may be housed proximate to campus rather than on it. • The university may have to lock down all or part of the campus for extended periods because of high infection rates at the university or in the surrounding community. “We expect that restrictions will have to be especially tight as we begin the term in February, when we anticipate that infection rates in the country and in New Jersey will remain high and when the weather will limit outdoor interactions,” Eisgruber said. “We hope, but cannot guarantee, that there will be opportunities to increase interaction, and to phase in more activities, as the term progresses.”
Princeton High School principal resigns, accepts job closer to her home By LEA KAHN Staff Writer
Princeton High School Principal Jessica Baxter has resigned from the top administrative post at the high school to accept the principal’s post at Randolph High School in the Randolph Township Schools. Baxter, who has served as the principal at Princeton High School since July 2019, will assume her duties at Randolph High in mid-January, Princeton Interim Superintendent of Schools Barry Galasso said. The Morris County school district is closer to her home, he said. Meanwhile, Princeton High School Assistant Principal Jared Warren has been recommended to serve as the acting principal at Princeton High while the district searches for a permanent principal, Galasso said. The Princeton Public Schools Board of Education is expected to take action at its Dec. 15 meeting. “We have put procedures in place to select a permanent principal. I will share the methodology with the public at the December school board meeting,” Galasso said. “The Princeton Public Schools has been fortunate in the past to attract qualified candidates, and we anticipate doing so again,” he said. Baxter was appointed to become the Randolph High School principal by the Randolph Township Schools Board of Education in November. She was chosen from among a field of 30 candidates, Randolph Township school district officials said. Baxter began her career in the East Hanover Township Public School District as a Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher. She was named assistant principal of Princeton High in February 2012, and appointed principal in July 2019 to succeed former Princeton High School Principal Gary Snyder. Galasso praised Baxter for guiding Princeton High through the initial outbreak
of COVID-19 “in uncertain and difficult times with grace, compassion and insight.” She led the high school staff with confidence as it shifted to remote learning, he said. Working in conjunction with Dean of Students Diana Lygas and other high school staff members, Baxter created the first-ever virtual graduation ceremony for the Princeton High School Class of 2020, Galasso said. More recently, Baxter worked to enable Princeton High School to open for hybrid learning in October. Colleagues at Princeton High have praised Baxter for being warm, proactive and a strong advocate for students, Galasso said. Warren, who is expected to be named as the acting principal, has served as one of three assistant principals at Princeton High for the past seven years. He came to Princeton High School from Hunterdon Central Regional High School, where he was a special education teacher. “Our primary goal during this transition is to make sure that our high school students receive the traditional, outstanding Princeton High School academic and social experience as they move toward graduation,” Galasso said. “Mr. Warren will make that a top priority and will continue the innovative and student-centered approach to learning that is a hallmark of a Princeton High School education,” he said. Galasso said he is confident that Warren will do an “excellent job” with the support of his outstanding administrative team, and that Warren will be a strong advocate for students while continuing to develop relationships with the community. Warren earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Widener University and a master’s degree in special education from The College of New Jersey. He also holds a certificate in educational leadership.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A pedestrian-only Witherspoon Street allows for community building In light of the unprecedented events of 2020, there is a renewed interest in reconsidering how lives are lived and how we commune as a people and a community. Creating a pedestrian-only thoroughfare on Witherspoon Street would allow for stronger community building as public places allow for that to happen. Meals are more enjoyable without car exhaust and letting go of car-centric planning in our
charming and historic town is in line with Princeton’s climate action plan. Moreover, the ability to walk, shop, dine and commune will distinguish Princeton’s central business district from other town centers and attract more visitors, which is good for business.

PennEast Pipeline Update: U.S. Solicitor General files brief to U.S. Supreme Court; New Jersey Resources still supports project By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer
The U.S. Supreme Court has not made a decision yet on whether to hear an appeal from the PennEast Pipeline Company to overturn a 2019 Third Circuit Court of Appeals decision, denying the condemning of 42 parcels of New Jersey state-owned land for the company’s $1 billion pipeline project. However, the court recently received the court’s requested brief from the U.S. Solicitor General expressing the Trump Administration’s views on the issue. The Supreme Court had asked on June 29 for a brief to be filed from the administration before the justices make a decision. Acting U.S. Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall and lawyers in the U.S. Department of Justice filed the amicus brief on Dec. 9, according to the U.S. Supreme Court docket for the petition. In the brief, the administration expressed a view of support that the petition of writ certiorari (a written request for review) should be granted to PennEast. In the brief filed, the reasons presented by the Solicitor General for the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case included that the court of appeals decision was incorrect and that an entity such as PennEast could exercise the right of eminent domain to property the state
claims an interest; if permitted to stand the decision (Third Circuit) would have significant effect on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) ability to coordinate the nation’s gas supply; and granting such veto power to states would be directly at odds with Natural Gas Act (NGA) purpose of supplying affordable and reliable natural gas. “By advocating for the U.S. Supreme Court to grant the PennEast petition, the Solicitor General agreed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and 18 business, labor and consumer advocacy organizations, which filed amicus briefs, and the project itself, that last year’s lower court ruling seriously was flawed and should be reversed,” said Patricia Kornick, spokesperson for PennEast. She added that the company remains hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court quickly grants the PennEast petition and reverses the Third Circuit decision. The construction of the 116-mile long natural gas pipeline is a $1 billion project from Pennsylvania into New Jersey. If the pipeline project were to be constructed, its construction would occur in the Hopewell area, while the New Jersey leg of the pipeline accounts for about one-third of the total
project. In February, PennEast Pipeline Company was granted a two-year extension from FERC to complete the construction of pipeline project facilities. Prior to that decision, the company had filed an amendment with FERC to construct the pipeline in two phases in January. FERC is a federal independent agency that regulates the interstate transportation of electricity, natural gas and oil. Phase one consists of 68 miles of pipeline in Pennsylvania, which would be ready to deliver natural gas by November 2021. Phase two would finish the remaining route in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with a target completion in 2023. Over the course of 2019, PennEast faced several setbacks in the New Jersey portion of the pipeline. In November of last year, the company made the decision to appeal its federal appeals case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision came in light of a November ruling by Third Circuit Court of Appeals, denying PennEast’s request to rehear a case concerning the condemning of 42 parcels of New Jersey state-owned land for PennEast’s pipeline project. Due to that denial and opinion by the
third circuit, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection also denied the company’s Freshwater Wetlands Permit application siting that PennEast’s application could not be “administratively complete” because of the circuit’s decision. Even with the delays and still awaiting the conclusion to PennEast’s court case, New Jersey Resources (NJR) spokesperson Kevin Roberts said NJR, an energy company, still supports the project, despite information releases by environmental groups following the company’s investor day on Nov. 30. According to the company, it maintains a 20% equity interest in the pipeline project. Roberts referred the Hopewell Valley News to CEO Steve Westhoven’s remarks on investor day, regarding the PennEast project removal from the company’s growth projections. “NJR is committed to the PennEast project, but we are removing it completely from our financial projections,” Westhoven said. “PennEast is an important project for the northeast, but the uncertainty around an in-service date requires us to take this action. CapEx spend (capital expenditure spending) will continue to be prudent and minimal as the project works toward approval and construction.”
Indie theaters unite to launch Independent Venue Association Hopewell Theater, McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, the State Theatre in New Brunswick and ArtPride New Jersey Foundation in Burlington have joined forces with other indie venues in New Jersey and/or live entertainment promoters to launch the New Jersey Independent Venue Association (NJIVA). To date, a dozen venues or promoters
have joined NJIVA as of press time: 1867 Sanctuary Arts and Culture Center in Ewing; Anchor Rock Club in Atlantic City; Bananas Comedy Club in Hasbrouck Heights; Bird and Betty’s in Beach Haven; Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck; Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown; The Newton Theatre in Newton; Outpost in the Burbs in Montclair; and Roy’s Hall in Blairstown.
“At a time when many indie venues are facing closing forever, our theaters have come together to help each other and advocate for our interests on the state level,” Sara Scully, Hopewell Theater’s executive director and founder, said in a prepared statement. Indie venues were the first to close and will be the last to open due to the pandemic, according to the statement. A majority have
had a very difficult time accessing relief funds from state and federal programs. NJIVA’s mission is to unify New Jersey’s diverse and proudly independent venue owners, operators and presenters to foster mutual support and resource sharing, and advocate as a unified group for shared priorities.
