Two seats presumably decided for Hightstown Borough Council By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Hightstown Borough voters returned one incumbent Borough Council member and chose a political newcomer to fill two seats on the Hightstown Borough Council in the Nov. 3 general election. Incumbent Borough Councilman Joseph Cicalese earned 1,298 votes and his running mate, Cristina Fowler, received 1,432 votes. Together, the two Democrats presumably beat back a challenge by Republican Party candidate James “Mickey” Eufemia, who garnered 619 votes. Hightstown Borough Councilman Charles “Lee” Stults did not

seek re-election. He is a Republican. The vote tallies are unofficial, and were updated last on Nov. 7, as per press time on Nov. 11. The deadline to count all votes is Nov. 20, and Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello must certify the results to the State of New Jersey by Nov. 23. Cicalese, who was elected in 2019 to fill out an unexpired term, sought election to a full, three-year term. He has lived in Hightstown since 2016 and works for Conair in East Windsor. “With the election behind us, I am excited to press on with my work on the council. I will continue to promote increased transparency and share openly our efforts to man-

age costs, while improving the quality of life and building public trust,” Cicalese said. Acknowledging the COVID-19 pandemic and the “unprecedented adversity” facing residents and businesses, Cicalese said public health and safety will be a priority while ensuring that Hightstown businesses may continue to thrive and flourish. “I pledge to promote and support initiatives that will help achieve this goal through coordinated efforts with our boards and committees to connect our local businesses with the resources they need,” Cicalese said. Fowler, who was making her first run for elected office, said she

was honored and thankful to be elected to the Hightstown Borough Council. She has lived in Hightstown for three years, and is the marketing manager for Keep Middlesex Moving. Fowler plans to focus on the economic development of the business district, including exploring the possibility of creating a Business Improvement District or an Economic Development Commission. “I will advocate for our small businesses. I am passionate about our downtown. Its success and growth will contribute to the overall attractiveness of our town,” Fowler said, adding that “there is plenty of work to do.” She said she would also like to

enhance communications between the town and its residents. She would like to explore establishing a digital media footprint that complements the town’s current website and e-newsletter blasts. At a little over one square mile, “Hightstown Borough may be tiny in size but big in heart,” Fowler said. The town has much going for it – a small downtown and a walkable community, she said. “Each of the issues I outlined lends to not only the attractiveness of our community, but moves us forward to a more sustainable and desirable destination. It will increase our property values and attract more businesses to open their doors on Main Street,” she said.

Incumbent Democrat to earn second term on Cranbury Township Committee By Andrew Harrison Staff Writer

Republican candidate Joseph Buonavolonta has conceded in the race for a one three-year term on the township committee against incumbent Democrat Mayor Matt Scott. The current makeup of the five-member committee is a Democratic majority of 3-2 and will stay that way for 2021, when Scott is sworn in for his second term. The three Democrats are Scott, Deputy Mayor Mike Ferrante, and Committeewoman Barbara Rogers. Committeeman James Taylor is no longer a registered Democrat and is now unaffiliated. Committeewoman Evelyn Spann is the sole Republican on the committee. The results from the Nov. 3 general election listed reflect what has been posted online by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office

as of 9:57 p.m. Nov. 10, which was current as of press time. The results are not final and it is not known when the results will be final. The results of the election will remain unofficial until they are certified, which is expected around Nov. 20. Scott, who currently serves as mayor, has 1,141 votes. Buonavolonta has 613 votes. There are 0 write-in votes. “I want to thank the residents of Cranbury who supported my campaign and voted for me. I appreciate your vote and confidence,” Buonavolonta said in a letter to the community. “Cranbury is a wonderful community filled with people who care. This care for community today is why I am filled with hope and believe other residents are as well.” He added that Scott’s election has filled him with hope. “I have hope that Matt, in his second term, will seek to represent all residents. I am hopeful that we

Incumbent presumably re-elected to East Windsor Regional Board of Education

By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

East Windsor Township voters appear to have returned Jeanne Bourjolly to the East Windsor Regional School District Board of Education for another term, based on preliminary results in the Nov. 3 general election. Bourjolly had received 5,172 votes to keep her seat on the school board as of Nov. 7, which was the last update the Mercer County Clerk’s Office had provided as of press time on Nov. 11. She is being challenged by Jagruti Patel, who earned 4,091 votes. Bourjolly and Patel are vying for a three-year term on the school board. Bourjolly has lived in East Windsor since 2016. She was ap-

However, 400 votes were cast for “personal choice” for the oneyear term representing East Windsor, and 251 votes for the three-year term representing Hightstown. There are also 157 “personal

Princeton school board results not finalized, Princeton raises but two incumbents appear to be re-elected daily rate to attract By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Based on preliminary results updated on Nov. 7, which was current as of press time on Nov. 11, incumbent school board member Michele TuckPonder is the top votegetter with 5,279 votes. Incumbent school board member Beth Behrend placed second in the vote tabulation, earning 5,127 votes. Newcomer Jean Durbin received 4,217 to take the third seat on the school board. Eight candidates are vying for three seats on the school board, including former school board member Bill Hare. He received 2,368 votes. The term is for three years. In addition to Behrend,

Durbin and Tuck-Ponder, candidates Adam Bierman received 3,004 votes; Hendricks Davis earned 1,445 votes; Paul Johnson garnered 2,864 votes; and Karen Lemon picked up 2,639 votes, as of press time. The vote tallies are unofficial and have not been certified by Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami-Covello. The deadline to count all votes is Nov. 20, which includes 710 provisional ballots in addition to the vote-by-mail ballots. The deadline to certify the election results to the State of New Jersey is Nov. 23. Behrend has lived in Princeton since 2001. She has three children, and worked for 20 years as a corporate attorney who advised companies on finances, joint ventures, governance and regulatory matters.

working with at-risk students in Trenton. He has one child who graduated from the Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart in Princeton. Davis has lived in Princeton since 1973.

substitute teachers By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Seeking substitute teachers to fill in for those who call out sick, the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education has raised the daily rate to entice wouldbe substitute teachers to step forward. The school board approved raising the per diem rate from $85 and $90 per day to a range of $95 to $105 per day. There are nearly 200 substitute teachers on the school district’s substitute teacher roll, but the district is always searching for more substitutes. “Due to COVID-19, we want to ensure that if staff is out sick, we have substitutes,” school board member Debra Bronfeld said at the school board’s Sept. 29 meeting. Bronfeld said the school district is increasing its daily rate to be more competitive with surrounding school districts and their substitute teacher pay scale. Prospective teachers need to have a minimum of 60 college credits, school

district officials said. A bachelor’s degree is desirable, but the district will hire someone who earned 60 credits. Becoming a substitute teacher is a good way to become involved in the school community, as well as serving as a realistic proving ground for anyone who may be looking for a full-time job in the Princeton Public Schools, officials said. Many school district teachers were on the list of substitute teachers and taught in the classroom on that basis, school district officials said. It is not unusual for a substitute teacher to find full-time work in the school district when there is a vacancy. Being a substitute teacher on a per diem, or daily, basis also allows for flexibility, school district officials said. Persons who are interested in becoming a substitute teacher can find additional information on the school district’s website at www.princetonk12.org, and by scrolling down to the human resources menu.

Cranbury library project on chosen list for state funding; state legislature must approve appropriations By Andrew Harrison Staff Writer

Cranbury Public Library’s plan for a stand-alone library in downtown Cranbury received a boost when Gov. Phil Murphy recently announced his recommended list of proposed statewide library projects for the first round of funding from the Library Construction Bond Act (LCBA). The LCBA is for the purpose of the construction, reconstruction, development, extension, improvement and furnishing of public libraries throughout the state. In a press release on Nov. 5, the governor stated that $87.5 million will be available for projects on the awardee list for the first round of funding from the $125 million LCBAappropriated funding. Details have not been released on how much grant money the Cranbury Public Library would receive, as the list must be approved in the state legislature. The Assembly already has a bill (A4942) to appropriate funds from LCBA, but a similar bill has not been assigned in the Senate. According to the New Jersey State Library, once appropriations are approved by the Senate and Assembly and signed by the governor, then the state librarian will send the grant award letters to the first round of approved projects. Cranbury Public Library Board of Trustees have been waiting for this long-awaited

announcement since applying for grant funding earlier this year. With an estimated cost of about $4.4 million, the Cranbury Library Foundation has already raised $2.5 million in private donations for the stand-alone building project in Cranbury. If the funding figure requested by the library’s application is awarded it would allow library leadership to raise the total needed to cover the cost of the new building. The new library is expected to be constructed on township-owned land after funding has been secured. The 14-acre parcel is at Park Place West and is also within walking distance from the Cranbury School. Currently, the land is open space. The process has been long for the Board of Trustees as they had been waiting on the state to publish the rules in 2019 to apply for a portion of the $125 million made available to them from the state LCBA. The act was established in 2017 after a statewide referendum. In order to make this project become reality, library leadership surveyed residents in 2006. Officials found that a vast majority of residents liked the library. The library then did a capital assessment of the town to see if it would be able to raise the money, which the assessment had confirmed. The Cranbury Library Foundation would be established in 2009 and help raise more than $2 million in private donations.

HEALTH MATTERS

riday oember  

By David B. Cohn, M.D.

Don’t Close Your Eyes to Sleep Disorders

ccasionally, everyone has problems sleeping. But if you regularly cannot get a good night’s sleep, or your snoring is disrupting the sleep of a loved one, you may suffer from a sleep disorder. A sleep disorder can adversely affect health, work performance, school and relationships, so it is important to seek professional help. The Sleep Center at Penn Medicine Princeton Medical Center offers adults and children comprehensive care for sleep disorders, including diagnosis, treatment, and follow up. Poor Sleep, Poor Health As many as 70 million Americans are living with a sleep disorder, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Among the most common sleep disorders are: • Sleep apnea: Abnormal breathing patterns during sleep • Restless leg syndrome: Uncomfortable sensations that cause an urge to move the legs • Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep • Narcolepsy: A neurologic condition causing extreme daytime sleepiness Left untreated, sleep disorders can put a strain on your body and inhibit the proper functioning of your heart, lungs, brain, and even your digestive system. In addition, failing to get the recommended 7-8 hours of nightly sleep for adults can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and depression. Sleep disorders have also been linked to eye diseases such as glaucoma, memory problems and headaches. Signs of Sleep Disorder Excessive sleepiness during the day, trouble getting a full night’s sleep, irregular nighttime breathing, gasping or choking in your sleep, snoring, and increased movement at night are all signs of a sleep disorder. In addition, poor sleep can cause problems with memory or concentration, irritability, sleepiness when driving and hyperactivity in children. If you have signs of a sleep disorder, talk to your doctor. Diagnosis and Treatment Diagnosing a sleep disorder typically begins with a sleep study either at home or at a designated sleep center. Sleep studies help identify problems by assessing brain waves, blood oxygen levels, your heart rate and breathing, as well as eye and leg movement. Once diagnosed, sleep disorders are usually treatable, with solutions ranging from changing your sleep habits to medication to a device known as a CPAP to improve breathing during sleep. Patients with obstructive sleep apnea who do not respond well to CPAP or other treatment options may be candidates for a minimally invasive procedure that involves surgically implanting a device that works to sense breathing patterns and deliver mild stimulation to maintain an open airway and promote regular breathing during sleep. For a select group of patients, this procedure may provide a better quality of life and long-term relief from their obstructive sleep apnea symptoms. Healthy Sleep Habits • Wait until you are sleepy to go to bed. This reduces your time awake in bed worrying about sleep. You might find it helpful to follow a ritual of relaxing activities before bedtime, such as taking a bath or reading a book. • Keep a regular schedule. Go to bed and get up at the same times every day, even on weekends and holidays. Regular times for meals and other activities also help keep the body’s internal clock on schedule. • Make your bedroom cool, quiet, dark and comfortable. Room-darkening shades, earplugs or a soft “white-noise” machine, and an open window with comfortable blankets can help you achieve these ideal sleeping conditions. • Don’t read, write, eat or watch TV in bed. Your bed should be associated with sleep. That way, when you go to bed, your body knows it is time for sleep. • Avoid caffeine, alcohol and nicotine for at least four hours prior to bedtime. While alcohol may help you fall asleep, it causes poor quality sleep later in the night. Caffeine and nicotine are both stimulants that can keep you from falling asleep. • Avoid vigorous exercise within four hours of bedtime. Intensive exercise is important earlier in the day, but too close to bedtime it can stimulate the body and cause trouble falling asleep. • Don’t eat a heavy meal right before bedtime. • Don’t use sleeping pills or over-the-counter sleep aids for prolonged periods. Becoming dependent on sleep medicine can interfere with the body’s natural ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. • Don’t take naps. Skipping naps will help ensure you are tired at bedtime. If you do nap, try to limit it to 20 or 30 minutes, and wake up before 3 p.m.

• Try to get a full night of sleep as often as possible. Give yourself the opportunity to sleep at least seven to eight hours each night. Good sleep leads to more good sleep. People have so many demands on their time, they often feel that failing to get a full night’s sleep is natural and that they can catch up on sleep later. If you are not dedicating enough time in your schedule for a good night’s sleep, you need to make the time. If you make those adjustments and are still not getting a good night’s sleep, a medical evaluation is in order. With prompt diagnosis and effective treatment, you can sleep, feel and live better.

Winners announced for 2020 Mercer County Artists Exhibit

Tiffany Fang of Princeton took home Best in Show at the 2020 Mercer County Artists Exhibit, hosted by The Gallery at Mercer County Community College, for her graphite-on-paper piece, Sun Spot.

Tiffany Fang of Princeton took home Best in Show at the 2020 Mercer County Artists Exhibit, hosted by The Gallery at Mercer County Community College (MCCC), for her graphite-on-paper piece, Sun Spot. Another notable winner was MCCC alumna and 2019 Best in Show awardee Megan Serfass of Princeton Junction for her oil on canvas piece, Glitch. The show was held virtually using online conferencing on Oct. 29. The exhibition, an outgrowth of a partnership between the college and the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission dating back to the mid-1990s, accepted 27 pieces from 21 artists, according to information provided by MCCC. The show was organized by Gallery Director Alice K. Thompson; juried by Colleen McCubbin Stepanic, a mixed media artist; and sponsored by Blick Art Materials. According to Thompson, it was initially feared that the exhibit would be one of the many events cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. “We decided to forge ahead and celebrate the arts at a time when we arguably need it most,” Thompson said in the statement. McCubbin was appreciative of the flexibility of the artists and the gallery to put on a virtual awards presentation, as well as the sense of intimacy the works created when displayed together. “The awarded works spoke to me, on some level, of the isolation and disorientation of our current moment,” McCubbin said in the statement. “Sun Spot’s quiet, intimate pencil marks drew me repeatedly to consider the upside

of isolation. … [Janet Purcell’s] ‘The Moment in Time’s’ playful vignette is also a reminder of our detrimental isolation from our environment. And the fractured perspective of Glitchis a reminder of our mental state when isolation turns on us.” The show’s full list of winners includes: • Skull Drawing (Conte’ crayon on paper) by Larry Chestnut of Hamilton • Bahamian Magic (oil on board mounted canvas) by Carlo Fiorentini of Princeton • Dialogue 2 (acrylic) by Shahla Mansouri of Hamilton • Autumn Starfish (acrylic on canvas) by William Plank of Lawrenceville • Hippo (automotive paint on Masonite) by Megan Uhaze of Hamilton • Sun Spot (graphite on paper) by Tiffany Fangn of Princeton • The Moment in Time (mixed media)by Janis Purcell of East Windsor • Glitch (oil on canvas) by MCCC alumna Megan Serfass of Princeton Junction • Rooted (digital art on paper) a self-portrait by Danielle Rackowski of Hamilton The Gallery at Mercer County Community College is funded by Mercer County Community College with additional support through a grant from the Mercer County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

Prescription pills may provide temporary relief with occasionally uncomfortable side effects when they work at all. The worst side effect of all is being dismissed by medical professionals who do not have anything to offer or simply do not care enough to look deeper into the cause. Some will suggest dietary changes or encourage you to exercise. Perhaps they instruct you to ‘drink more water’. As if more water is going to stop you from feeling as though life like this is just not living.

Rent Parties n this time of high angst over the state of our democracy, job security, fiscal resources, housing insecurity/potential eviction, and, of course, our health during a raging pandemic, I have had the best time going to a party, albeit a virtual one. The celebration is known as a “rent party,” an annual event hosted by Housing Initiatives of Princeton (HIP). It all sounds like a cruel oxymoron, since celebratory party and rent and eviction and pandemic are words that seem completely at odds with one another. But it all makes perfect sense to those aficionados of Housing Initiatives of Princeton, which since 2004 has been helping low-income families avoid homelessness by providing service-enriched transitional housing and rental assistance programs. I always thought that HIP’s annual rent party was simply a vehicle to raise money so HIP could help its clients, on the verge of becoming homeless, pay their rent. My epiphany about rent parties occurred, however, after a conversation I had with Princeton University’s Wallace Best, a featured guest at this year’s HIP Rent Party. The director of the university’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Program and professor of religion and African American studies, Dr. Best explained that “in 2020, HIP’s rent party, is a fundraiser to benefit those whose lives are threatened by the loss of their home, but it also is so much more. It has a rich history and reflects community and humanity at their best.” A rent party, according to Professor Best, a specialist in African American religious history of the 19th and 20th centuries, is no new phenomenon. Born in the 1920s in Harlem, the rent party was a joyful community gathering hosted by tenants who were having problems paying their rent. The rent-insecure tenants would arrange for food and drink and live musicians at a time when Harlem, a very tight-knit com-

munity, was blessed with incredible musical talent. The host would invite people of all ages and backgrounds to come together for dancing, drinking, eating and joyful socializing. There was a small entrance fee and the proceeds were used to pay the host’s rent.

But the overarching quality of the parties was community – people helping their neighbors, people enjoying their friends and neighbors. No one was embarrassed to need help, no one felt awkward giving help. In fact, people were eager to help – and to have such a good time at the same time.” Black tenants in Harlem during the 1920s and 1930s faced discriminatory rental rates. That, along with the generally lower salaries for Black workers, created a situation in which many people were short

Rent parties had a “curious dual function” said Professor Best, who noted his own family’s housing insecurity of his youth in Washington, D.C. “Its first purpose was to provide a good time on Friday or Saturday night; the parties were known to be the highlight of the week. … And of course, the second purpose was to keep people in their home.

of rent money. The rent parties were originally meant to bridge that gap. “Rent parties were the great equalizer, mixing all economic classes – physicians and the janitors danced next to one another with equal amounts of joy,” he said. Professor Best became enamored with the rent party concept, when he was researching the writings of Langston Hughes, the internationally renowned American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright and columnist. Professor Best discovered

Harlem through the eyes of Langston Hughes, who painted Harlem with words that left an indelible imprint upon the sensibility of Dr. Best. “Rent parties fascinated Langston Hughes – and as a result I became fascinated as well. Rent parties seemed to disappear after the Depression but returned in the post-war era – with a little less pizzazz because the parties featured recorded music rather than live music from Harlem’s legendary jazz talents,” Dr. Best said. Mr. Hughes collected Harlem Rent Party cards that advertised the parties and the featured musical entertainment at the party. At the top of the cards were lyrics from popular songs or made-up rhyming verses that intrigued the poet Langston Hughes, who considered these cards a physical manifestation of the Harlem he knew and loved so well. Translating the Harlem Rent Party of the 1920s to modern day Princeton, par- 2 ticularly during a pandemic, is somewhat of a “challenge, but in fact, the Rent Parties are more important than ever before in HIPs history,” said Carol Golden, chair of HIP. The 2020 rent party maybe is different from the rent party in the 1920s, but the underlying principle of the event is the same – “neighbors helping neighbors with rent in times of need.” The series of Rent Party videos featuring speakers and jazz music is no substitute for an in-person gathering of people, but it has served the valuable goal of entertaining participants while informing people of “the dire need to respond to housing insecurity,” said Ms. Golden. In New Jersey, since 1960, rents have risen 61 percent, while incomes have only grown by 5 percent. Half of New Jersey’s one million renters are worried about making the rent. We know housing is health — and the COVID-19 crisis has confirmed it. Access to a safe and affordable home during this pandemic has literally been a matter of life and death, she noted. And a rent party may be just what the doctor – and the musician – ordered. To participate in HIP’s virtual Rent Party, visit https://housinginitiativesofprinceton.org/

Princeton Ballet School, the official school of American Repertory Ballet, installed ionizer air purification systems within its HVAC equipment as part of its facility safety investments. The Global Plasma Solutions (GPS) Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization technology embedded in these systems also kills pathogens such as the COVID-19 virus, according a statement provided by the school. GPS technology has been proven to have a very high effectiveness in killing the SARS Cov2 virus, which causes COVID-19. The GPS purification system has been added to all the school’s three locations in Princeton, Cranbury and New Brunswick. “These ionization systems add an extra layer of protection, working in conjunction with our comprehensive day-to-day safety protocols to protect the health and safety of our students and employees,” Julie Diana Hench, executive director, said in the statement. GPS’ technology generates a high concentration of positively and negatively charged

ions. These ions travel through the air continuously seeking out and attaching themselves to particles. When these ions come into contact with pathogens, they disrupt pathogens’ surface proteins, rendering them inactive and unable to spread, according to the statement. This system is now installed worldwide in schools, hospitals, hotels, as well as large corporations. Princeton Ballet School’s safety measures have been developed in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and state and local guidelines. All recommended protocols are being implemented during the school’s phased reopening to help protect the health and wellness of our students, employees and community. Enrollment is ongoing for all levels, age 3 to adult. Princeton Ballet School offers classes in classical ballet, contemporary, modern dance, flamenco, CardioBallet, biomechanics, and more. Both in-person and virtual options are available, in addition to performance opportunities. For more information, visit arballet.org.

it cruises at high speeds quite nicely as well. However, all this bigness and opulence comes at a price. The new Sensory model QX 80 is not cheap and neither is it gas consumption efficient – this isn’t your typical tree hugger ride. The EPA’s fuel consumption ratings for the QX 80 come in at an average of 15 miles per gallon – with 19 mpg on highway driving and 13 mpg in around town or city driving. Moreover, the EPA estimates that on average it will cost you about $3,250 a year to feed the QX 80 with gas as it uses about 6.7 gallons per every 100 miles driven. The base price of the Sensory model QX 80 is $83,300. My test model had added options as well and when you tack on the $1,395 destination and delivery charge the bottom line sticker price comes in at a hefty $87,035. The added options on my test vehicle included: $485 for Infiniti illuminated kick plates; $410 for roof rail cross bars; $295 for a cargo package; $455 for Infiniti illuminated welcome lighting and $695 for the Coulis Red premium exterior paint.

So the question at this point remains, is while the new Sensory top-of-the-line QX 80 is certainly luxurious and rich, the price point it is now offered at pushes it into the company of some pretty hefty competitors – namely the popular BMW X7 or the equally as popular Mercedes Benz GLS. In summarizing its review of the QX 80, the editors at Car and Driver gave it high marks for, “handsome styling, standard V8 power, plush and spacious cabin.” However, for low points, Car and Driver pointed out that the QX 80 “seems outdated compared to rivals.” I tend to agree, but not wholeheartedly. The German-made X7 and GLS have gone to smaller, more state-of-the-art engines that make up for the downsizing by adding a turbo charger or an electric battery EQ boost to give them more pep and better gas mileage. Additionally, inside the cabins, the German X7 and GLS seem to be a bit ahead of Infiniti when it comes to providing the latest infotainment and wide touch screen command center. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with the operational functionality of Infiniti’s system, it just seems a bit dated with comparing it to what you get inside the X7 or GLS. However, all that being said, there is still room for the new Sensory model QX 80 if you are considering a full sized luxury SUV. There is a distinct difference in the way that the German made X7 and GLS feel and drive when compared to the Japanese made Infiniti. The Infiniti offers a smoother, more airlike ride. With the German models you get a stiffer, more performance-oriented ride. Is one better than the other? Who is to say? The true test is in the eye of the beholder. You have to get in and test drive these models and see for yourself which is more to your liking. In case your were wondering just how big the QX 80 is, according to Infiniti’s spec sheet this vehicle has a wheelbase 121.1 inches, an overall length of 210.2 inches, a width of 79.9 inches and stands 75.8 inches high.

Princeton public school teachers will receive increases through 2022 By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

Princeton Public Schools teachers are in line for salary increases of 2.9% for the current school year, and 2.5% for the 2021-22 school year, under a two-year contract approved by the Princeton Public Schools Board of Education. The Princeton Regional Education Association had previously ratified the contract before presenting it to the school board. The negotiations teams representing the teachers union and the school district spent the summer working out the details of the two-year agreement. Under the terms of the contract, the salary for a new teacher is $57,076 for the 2020-21 school year,

counselors; nurses; librarians and media specialists; psychologists; social workers; learning consultants; supplementary instructors; therapists; and athletic trainers. The salary structure applies to them, as well. School board member Dafna Kendal said that coming to terms on the contract was a unique challenge, because neither the school board nor the teachers union had ever negotiated a contract during a pandemic. The negotiations were cordial and reflected the partnership between the union and the school board, Kendal said. “This is proof that there is no reason for negotiations to be combative. If we can negotiate through a pandemic and come to

and $57,479 for the 202122 school year. A teacher at the top of the pay scale who holds only a bachelor’s degree will earn $95,126 in the first year of the contract and $95,529 in the second year. A teacher who holds a master’s degree will earn between $61,706 and $102,874, depending on where they are placed in the salary scale in the first year of the contract. In the second year of the contract, the salary will range from $62,109 to $103,277. Teachers who hold master’s degrees plus 30 additional credits, and those who hold doctorate degrees, earn more. In addition to teachers, the Princeton Regional Education Association also represents guidance counselors and school

what I believe is a fair contract for both sides, it can be done all the time,” Kendal said. The contract “clearly balances” the district’s goals of fiscal responsibility, labor peace and keeping students first, Kendal said. By the time this contract expires in June 2022, the district will have experienced seven years of “labor peace,” she said, pointing to the protracted negotiations in other school districts. Kendal said the contract also contains several cost-saving measures. The amount of extra pay for extra work remains flat. The prescription drug co-pay will double for a 90-day supply, which is a cost-savings for the district. There is flexibility for the district to hire “leave

replacements” – teachers who are hired to fill in for a teacher who is taking a leave of absence – at the bottom step of the salary guide, which is $57,076 for 2020-21. Only the employee would be eligible for health insurance. The agreement could lead to cost savings of $75,000 to $150,000, she said. The contract also sets the tuition rates for Princeton Regional Education Association members who do not live in Princeton and who enroll their children in the Princeton Public Schools. The tuition rates apply for the duration of the contract. For those hired before July 2015, the tuition rate is $2,500 per child. For those hired between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2020, it is $3,200 per child. The

tuition for teachers hired between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, is $5,000. Those hired after July 1, 2021, will pay $7,500 per child. Princeton Regional Education Association negotiations team member Justin Matthews thanked school board members Dafna Kendal and Michele Tuck-Ponder for working through the summer to forge a contract so union members could begin the school year with the security and protection of having it in place. “Michele and Dafna were very open with us and honest with us. Together, we were able to solve issues and come to an agreement so we could start the school year with a sense of peace and purpose,” Matthews said.

Continued from Page 1A Additionally, Buonavolonta added that he would like to see change in Scott’s view on a marijuana dispensary in town, hopes for Scott’s continued focus on traffic safety, and the township committee doing more diligence when reviewing contracts and projects. On whether he will seek public office again and more specifically in 2021’s township committee seat elections for two three-year terms, he said it is too early for a decision. “It is too early to really say but if the committee doesn’t step it up I absolutely will,” Buonavolonta said. Taylor has already announced that he will not seek reelection with his current term up next year and Ferrante’s current term will also conclude at the end of next year. Scott has earned his second three-year term on the committee coming out of the 2020 election. He first secured a seat in 2017 as a candidate seeking public office for the first time. “It is not official yet, but it looks good. With that much of a margin I am very moved by the people’s confidence in me in Cranbury. I am looking forward to being able to govern with a pretty decent mandate,” he said. “Some of the things I am looking forward to doing is more of the same,

like revitalizing the downtown.” Other areas of focus include making sure the Economic Development Advisory Committee becomes an important part of Cranbury Township governance; trying to secure money in the budget to work on rebuilding some of the infrastructure downtown; the town stays safe during COVID and keeping an eye on township finances; and getting the Brainerd Lake Dredging completed in the fall 2021. “I want to also make sure that we work to bring new voices in to our civic conversation. During the campaign I met with a large group of Asian American residents of town who had never been involved with local government or local civic engagement,” Scott said. “I look forward to working with them and others like them to find new ways to revitalize and expand our community.” Scott sees one of the top challenges he faces as member of the township committee is the current coronavirus pandemic crisis. “One of the biggest challenges is going to be how we emerge from COVID and how we can help the businesses in town stay vibrant and attract other businesses. Getting out from under COVID is going to be job number one,” Scott added.

Panel discussion will address COVID-19’s affect on homelessness By Lea Kahn Staff Writer

There have always been homeless and hungry families in Mercer County, but the combination of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic dislocation has brought more families seeking help to HomeFront, the Lawrence Township-based nonprofit that helps the homeless and the working poor. HomeFront is bringing together several experts to discuss COVID-19’s impact on homelessness and hunger in a virtual panel discussion at 6 p.m. Nov. 19. The panel discussion, which is co-sponsored by the Princeton Public Library, is being held in conjunction with National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, which will be observed Nov. 15-22. The panelists include Sarah Steward, HomeFront’s chief operating officer; Bernie Flynn, the chief executive officer of the Mercer Street Friends, which is a Trentonbased nonprofit whose food bank supplies food to numerous food pantries; and a former HomeFront client who will speak about her personal experiences with hunger and homelessness. Panelists also include Gregory Stankiewicz of the New Jersey Community Schools Coalition, and Emily Lemmerman of Princeton University’s Eviction Lab, which studies the causes and impacts of eviction. The panelists will focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted people, locally and nationally, who are homeless or who earn very low incomes, as well as the impending eviction crisis. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week aims to educate the public and draw attention to the problem of poverty. Its goal is to build a base of volunteers and supporters for groups such as HomeFront and

Mercer Street Friends. It was organized in 1975 by Villanova University students, according to its website, www.//hhweek.org. Connie Mercer, HomeFront’s founder and chief executive officer, said HomeFront is running the speaker panel – along with other ways for the community to get involved – during Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week because the community has shown during the pandemic that it wants to get involved. “For those who are doing OK, they are aware that many of their neighbors are losing jobs, struggling to pay rent and their other bills, and they want to help. We are grateful that members of the community have reached out to us and asked what they can do to help,” Mercer said. There are hundreds of families who, for the first time in their lives, need help to feed their families, pay the rent, or to buy critical necessities such as diapers, Mercer said. Some of those families are former HomeFront donors or volunteers. HomeFront has experienced an unprecedented increase in need since the pandemic was declared in March, Mercer said. HomeFront has delivered more than 342,000 meals to families who have become homeless and who are living in motels, and at HomeFront’s Family Campus in Ewing Township. HomeFront also has opened a third food pantry at its FreeStore in Trenton, in addition to its food pantries at the Lawrence Community Center at 295 Eggerts Crossing Road and at its headquarters at 1880 Princeton Ave. HomeFront also has given out nearly 385,000 diapers and wipes. Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week gives HomeFront a chance to connect with the community and discuss the current situation, and to join together to find ways

to help neighbors in need, Mercer said. The panel discussion is one of the four ways to learn more and to get involved, she said. In addition to the panel discussion, HomeFront is holding a pop-up information and drop-off center at 63 Palmer Square in Princeton on Nov. 15 from noon to 5 p.m. The community can learn more about the situation and how to help. Donations of non-perishable food, coats, diapers, wipes and baby formula will be accepted. HomeFront also is offering a virtual tour of its headquarters at 1880 Princeton Ave. in Lawrence on Nov. 20 at 3 p.m. and

Nov. 21 at 11 a.m. Finally, HomeFront’s ArtSpace program is holding its annual Art for the Holidays event that highlights artwork created by HomeFront clients. It showcases work created by clients and local artists to benefit homeless families. Artwork can be purchased online or by appointment. Visit www.homefrontnj.org for log-in details to the free panel discussion, or call 609-989-9417, ext. 133. For the ArtSpace program, visit www.artjamnj.org.
