Last week, New Jersey was
named the state with the best
school systems in the country. It
ranked fourth in math test scores
and tied for fourth in reading test
scores. Additionally, the state also
ranked in the top five for both
safety and lowest pupil-to-teacher
ratios.
This success could be encour-
aging for the Princeton Regional
Education Association and the
Board of Education as the two
sides remain locked in contract
negotiations.
As the new school year draws
near, the issue facing the Prince-
ton Public School system is one of
uncertainty. If a compromise is
not reached by the first day of
school, Sept. 4, it remains to be
seen what the beginning of the
academic year will look like. It
seems unlikely that the two sides
will come to an agreement prior
to at least the first week. As of
now, they are not scheduled to ne-
gotiate again until Sept. 11.
Under state law, when a new
employment contract is not
reached before a contract expires,
the prior contract continues in
place until a new agreement re-
places it.
Come September, teachers
will be working under the same
fair, collectively-bargained con-
tract that has been in effect for
the past three years. No one will
be working without pay or with-
out contractual due process pro-
tections, Superintendent Steve
Cochrane said.

Bicyclist re-creates great grandfathers 1939 ride
By ERICA CHAYES
The Sun
In 1939, James Spratt White II
rode his bicycle, Old Betsy, from
Rock Hill, S.C., to the New York
Worlds Fair. An active and
quirky member of his own com-
munity, White chose destinations
of intrigue to visit along the way.
In each town, he met with the
mayor, shook hands and shared
stories from one town to another.
His last stop before New York
was a place he recalled in his
writing as being similar to his
own Rock Hill, the kind he liked
best: a smaller town with a big
impact. The town was Princeton.
Seventy-five years later, almost
to the day, James Spratt White IIs
great grandson, Jay White
(James Spratt White V), road
Old Betsy II onto the streets of
Princeton looking like a citizen of
the past. White re-created his
great grandfather Papas trip
down to every detail same stops
and a replicated bicycle with a
handmade sign reading Rock
Hill is a Good Town S.C. He wore
vintage Bermuda shorts, long ar-
gyle socks, a vest, bowtie and pa-
perboy hat as he too met with
mayors, shook hands and shared
stories.
A lot has changed since 1939,
though as Mayor Liz Lempert
commented, it was an important
destination then and still is now.
For a bit of hindsight, a 1939
Princeton had no interstates con-
necting it to nearby cities. Cars
were not overflowing during busy
hours on the streets, and bicycles
and horses were a plenty. Prince-
ton University was beginning to
experience massive growth and
expansion. Einstein was a recent
homeowner of the house on 112
Mercer St., and Palmer Square
had just that year been built.
Trends that reflect Princetons
presence as a cultural hub still re-
main similar to the facets of en-
tertainment enjoyed by locals. Ac-
cording to the Historical Society
of Princeton, people enlivened
their days with radio, movies and
restaurants a routine that evi-
dently inspired the plethora of
places Princeton provides today.
In the 1930s, residents frequented
McCarter Theater, the Princeton
Playhouse in Palmer Square, the
Garden Theater and Struves Ar-
cade Theater on Nassau Street.
Jazz was a staple for culture-hun-
gry music fiends and became a
large part of the student party
scene. Jazz continues to be sa-
vored with Princetons annual
Jazz Festival on Palmer Square
though, sadly, Louis Armstrong
wont be visiting this years festi-
val as he did in the 1930s. The
Nassau Inn, as mentioned by the
Historical Society, was another
one of the key places for men to
relax and meet with their friends
at lunch or after a hard days
work.
The Nassau Inn still stands and
welcomed White along with his
wife Kate, son Jack (James Spratt
White VI), 14, and daughter Craw-
ford, 11, who joined him during
his stay in Princeton.
To sum up his opinion of
Princeton 75 years after his Papa
had come, White pronounced
with the cadence of a true South-
ern gentleman, I loved it, draw-
ing out the uh in love to show
his utmost appreciation. My
wife and kids really loved it. We
stayed right downtown and we
could hang in the park, eat ice
cream, walk and shop. We did a
lot of walking and, of course, bi-
cycling.
The topic of exploring Prince-
ton by foot brought White to the
topic of Rock Hills current revi-
talization to make its town more
efficient and pedestrian friendly.
When White came to Princeton,
he thought to himself, theyve
done this right. Edgar Palmers
design ended up being the ideal
model for a biker and by-foot
friendly community. White ex-
plained the significance of
Princetons layout how the
streets with shops and restau-
rants are close to the larger roads
but allow you to feel safe walking
and biking.
It was just spectacular. This is
what Rock Hill is trying to do,
White said.
From 1939 to 2014, many things
have changed in Princeton, many
remain the same and some have
molded the culture Princeton
prides itself upon having today.
As White put it wisely, The
phone in your pocket will be obso-
lete in 18 months. It will be out-
dated and worthless; but the
things James did on his trip 75
years later are still relevant. They
still matter. Bikes, green energy,
small towns, shaking hands. In
fact they matter greatly, made
even more important perhaps be-
cause of those phones in our
pockets.
White, by staying true to the
fundamentals of a seemingly an-
tiquated journey, re-created some-
thing wonderful. One can hope
that Jays 1939 re-creation ride
will inspire Princetonians to rel-
ish, perhaps a little longer than
usual, the things they love about
Princeton, whether it was then or
now.
Atop Old Betsy II, Jay White rides from S.C. to N.Y., making Princeton one of his prominent stops

Princeton is on its way to be-
coming the first town in the coun-
ty to ban hydraulic fracturing, or
fracking.
Fracking is a controversial
process that involves pumping
water and chemicals into under-
ground shale formations to frac-
ture the rock and release natural
gas for extraction. Those in favor
of fracking view it as a source of
cheaper and cleaner gas, while
the opposition feels it can cause a
variety of environmental issues.
The South Newark basin ex-
tends under a large portion of
Mercer County and parts of
Pennsylvania. The basin, accord-
ing to a 2012 geological survey,
contains about 1.6 trillion cubic
feet of gas.
An ordinance, recommended
by the towns environmental com-
mission, was introduced at the
July 28 council meeting to ban
fracking.
Councilwoman Jenny Cru-
miller, liasion to the environmen-
tal commission, explained that
under Princeton s current laws, a
company would be able to apply
4 THE PRINCETON SUN AUG. 1319, 2014
Princeton poised to become first
town in county to ban fracking
please see FRACKING, page 5
Food and Water Watch has collected more than 300 letters
from Princeton residents in support of the fracking ban
for a use variance to use fracking,
unless the ordinance passes,
which would then prohibit it com-
pletely.
Lauren Petrie, of the Food and
Water Watch, said, it is just a
matter of time before someone
applies for a use variance.
It is wreaking havoc on our
environment, Crumiller said.
The vote was 5-1 with Council-
man Patrick Simon voting
against it. His reasoning was it is
already illegal to manufacture
and drill for oil and gas in Prince-
ton and that council had already
passed a resolution formally op-
posing the fracking process.
Im a little worried that weve
gotten the popular term and de-
cided to ban it, when in fact I
cant think of any place in town
where it would be appropriate for
any sort of drilling for natural
gas or oil, he said.
Simon said he believed the or-
dinance to be limiting and re-
quested council create a more
broad ordinance to include oil
and gas drilling as well as hori-
zontal drilling, including water-
ways.
The obvious answer is to ban
the activity we dont want, of any
kind, no matter the technology,
he said.
Petrie said the ordinance
would set a precedent for the rest
of the county.
When this town is protected,
we can move to other towns and
say we want you to follow Prince-
tons lead, she said.
Petrie said the Food and Water
Watch had collected more than
300 letters from Princeton resi-
dents in support of the fracking
ban.
Mayor Liz Lempert said the or-
dinance would make the ban
even stronger than it is.
Middlesex County has moved
to ban fracking, and it is the only
county in the state to officially
ban the practice.
Fracking currently occurs in
Pennsylvania. The state Assem-
bly voted in favor of a bill that
would make it illegal in New Jer-
sey, but Gov. Christie has not yet
signed.
In 2011, Christie vetoed a bill
that would have banned fracking
completely, and in 2012, he vetoed
a similar version of the bill
passed last month.
The proposed ordinance will be
open for a public hearing in
Princeton on Sept. 22.

T
his editorial is not about Oba-
macare, per say. It wont be a
support for the infamous
health-care reform act nor a call for its
repeal.
Instead, this editorial is about health
care in general, and how theres more
than one problem under the umbrella
that needs to be solved.
Let us first backtrack and start from
the beginning...
Last week, a NBC 4 New York I-Team
investigation uncovered the story of
Bayonne resident Baer Hanusz-Ra-
jkowski.
Last August, Baer cut his finger on a
hammer, an injury that he thought
might need stitches. So Baer went to
his local emergency room the hospi-
tal, for our purposes, doesnt matter.
Turns out, no stitches were needed,
nor was an X-ray. So Baer left that
emergency room with a tetanus shot,
bandage and antibacterial ointment,
all administered by a nurse practition-
er.
The total bill for those services: al-
most $9,000. He was charged $8,200 for
the emergency room visit, $180 for a
tetanus shot, $242 for sterile supplies
and $8 for the ointment.
When asked for a comment, the CEO
of the hospital blamed the insurance
company, saying it decided to not
renew its in-network pricing contract
with the provider, which now doesnt
offer fair reimbursement rates.
Its the expected response. The med-
ical center blames the insurance com-
pany.
The insurance company, were sure,
would blame the medical center or, bet-
ter yet, blame Obamacare. Its a blame
cycle that never stops.
Baers story is a great example of
how the health-care system in this
country is flawed dramatically. Oba-
macare alone wont fix the problem at
least not as its in operation today be-
cause it only attempts to fix one spoke
and not the whole wheel.
The problem isnt just health insur-
ance, its also the health-care providers
such as this hospital. Medical centers
dont have to charge $8,200 for an emer-
gency room visit, but they do. Why?
Because, until recently, they could
without batting an eye, and insurance
companies would cover it.
But thats no longer the case. Now,
insurance companies are not covering
many medical expenses or not cover-
ing them as much as they did in the
past and the patients are the ones
who are left to suffer.
The choice ends up being a bad one
for the patient should I go to the doc-
tor if there is potentially nothing
wrong with me and pay an exorbitant
bill, or should I take the chance that
Im fine and not seek help? Thats not a
choice we should force people to make.
Until we completely reform health
care, though from the health insur-
ance to the actual health-care
providers thats an increasingly like-
ly scenario for many.
Health care needs to be fixed...
... And its not only the health insurance side that needs fixing

reform? Is Obamacare enough? Or do we
need more, or better, reform? Share your
thoughts through a letter to the editor.

Princeton Universitys $330 million Arts
and Transit Neighborhood Project gained
traction when a state Superior Court judge
ruled against opponents request to over-
turn the zoning permitting the project,
which is currently under construction.
Judge Douglas Hurd of the Mercer
County Superior Court rejected the plain-
tiffs, Walter and Anne Neumann and
Marco Gottardis, claims that the zoning or-
dinances adopted by Princeton Borough
and Princeton Township to allow for the
Arts and Transit Neighborhood violated a
Municipal Land Use law and constituted
impermissible contract and spot zoning.
The ruling stated that, the ordinances
were not substantially inconsistent with
the Princeton Regional Master Plan and
that the ordinances advanced several pur-
poses of the MLUL. The ruling followed a
bench trial in September 2013 and a myri-
ad of briefing.
Jonathan Epstein, Princeton Universi-
tys lawyer, said he considers this ruling
the most significant victory for the uni-
versity in the multiple lawsuits filed by the
objectors to the universitys Arts and Tran-
sit project.

The following have been re-
ported from the Princeton Police
Department.
On Aug. 1, the victim, a Mont-
gomery Township resident, locat-

nicipal Court and Rahway Munic-
ipal Court, totaling $1,825. He was
processed at police headquarters
and turned over to South Plain-
field Police after being unable to
post bail.
On July 31 at 12:29 a.m., a foot
patrol officer arrested a 31-year-
old Princeton resident from Leigh
Avenue upon observing him caus-
ing a disturbance and entering a
business on the 200 block of Nas-
sau Street, after store owners ad-
vised him not to enter due to him
harassing customers. He was
processed at police headquarters
and released with a summons for
defiant trespassing. At 1:44 p.m.,
patrols arrested the man at the
rear of a business on the 200
block of Nassau Street after an
eyewitness telephoned police
upon seeing him attempt to pry
open a rear door and smash a
rear window. The suspect was ap-
prehended at the scene and
charged with criminal attempt
burglary and criminal mischief.
Bail was set at $10,000 with a 10

ed to Mercer County Correctional
Center, Hopewell, after being un-
able to post bail.
On Aug. 1 an unknown actor
stole a USPS package with con-
tents valued at $20 from a porch
on the 200 block of William Liv-
ingston Court.
On Aug. 1, patrols responded to
the 100 block of Spring Street to
investigate an assault. The victim
stated he was struck with a bottle
in his arm causing injury. The ac-
cused subsequently fled from the
scene. Although the victim was
familiar with the actor, he refused
to cooperate with the investiga-
tion and would not provide the
actors identity.

were taken into custody for a
shoplifting incident that occurred
on the 100 block of Nassau Street.
The two juveniles were brought
to headquarters and later re-
leased to their guardian.

from Lawrenceville was arrested
after he was observed by officers
throwing a rock through a win-
dow on the 100 block of Chestnut
Street. He was placed under ar-
rest for criminal mischief and
later released with a summons.

As the start of the school year
becomes imminent, parents in
the community are left to wonder
if waves will continue to be made
by the Sea of Blue, the name
given to the Princeton Regional
Education Association on its
Facebook page.
Superintendent Steve
Cochrane initially said the board
of education hoped to come to an
agreement before the new school
year began. However, with the
main issues of salary and health
benefits still unresolved, third-
party mediations having little to
no impact on the negotiations,
and the needs of teachers being
expressed with increasing vol-
ume and thematic unity, it seems
the issue may continue into Sep-
tember.
Back in June, the school board
said it had offered 1.8 percent
raises in the first and second
years of a contract and 1.86 per-
cent in the third. In Princeton,
the average teacher salary is
$78,351.
The district is standing by its
requirement to stay beneath a 2
percent state-mandated budget
cap.
As the issue at hand gets down
to the wire, The Princeton Sun
thought it time to take to the
streets and ask the community
what it thinks.
Princeton parent Kathleen
Petrone was well aware of the
teacher negotiations that have
been drumming louder as sum-
mer goes on. She was firm and
supportive in her belief that the
school board should give the
teachers whatever theyre asking.
They work really hard and do a
wonderful job.
Anne Lord responded to the
matter simply and honestly. Em-
bracing a moment of shade on a
90-degree August day, Lord gath-
ered her brood of Princetonians
and said, I always side with the
teachers.
Twenty-year resident Lisa Dal-
ton, on the other hand, was not so
quick to support one side wholly
and without pause.
Employed by the state, Dalton
understands how demands for a
different contract can become
pressing.
She explained how compared
to 15 to 20 years ago, a 1 percent
pay increase does not seem like
much. But given the reality of
todays economic climate, 1 per-
cent in a year is standard. I am
happy to get what I get, said Dal-
ton in regard to her own contract,
which she has never recalled ex-
ceeding a 1 percent pay increase
in a year.
Overall, she hopes the teachers
and the board are able to come to
an agreement before the school
year. Ive lived here for 20 years
and never seen a strike.
Will Sea of Blue make waves into September?
ERICA CHAYES/The Sun
Kathleen Petrone, left, an involved mother in the community, enjoys some time at the pool and chats with friend about the Sea of Blue.
The hot topics of salary and
health benefits remain at the
forefront of the most recent dis-
cussions. PREA member and
Princeton High School teacher
John Baxter said in July, the
boards position restricts the op-
tions for proposals and counter
proposals, perhaps making it
more difficult to reach a fair con-
tract.
The two sides met for another
round of negotiations on July 24,
at which the Board of Education
presented what Cochrane called
a detailed, very strong proposal
regarding salaries and health-
care benefits. He said the board
feels good about the offer both
in terms of its fairness to the
teachers we respect and in terms
of its sustainability for the dis-
trict and the taxpayers.
Although it looks like the
school year will start without an
agreement, Cochrane said he re-
mains optimistic about the likeli-
hood of reaching an agreement
sometime this fall.
I expect that for the start of
school in September, everyone
will be fully focused on welcom-
ing students back to the class-
room. That is what we eagerly do
each year as professionals,
Cochrane said.
Representatives from the
PREA could not be reached for
comment after the latest round of
negotiations.
We know our teachers share
with us the goal of providing the
best possible education for our
children. We believe they are
committed to maintaining the
Princeton Public Schools broad
program offerings and optimal
staffing levels, Cochrane said.
The state-mandated 2 percent
budget cap has been a recurring
source of disagreement from the
two sides throughout negotia-
tions thus far.
In the current climate of ris-
ing costs and budget caps, main-
taining those offerings and
staffing levels will be possible
only as the PREA and the board
work together to develop cre-
ative, fiscally sound and mutual-
ly beneficial solutions,
Cochrane said.
He said he knows the board is
negotiating in that spirit, and is
hopeful the PREA is as well.
The teachers union, also
known as A Sea of Blue on
Facebook, posted on July 30,
While there is no dispute that
the average teacher in Prince-
ton is well paid, that average
must be placed in the proper con-
text. The page maintains their
advocacy for excellence and
fairness.
Salary, health benefits are hot topics

A battlefield once used by Gen.
George Washington and his Con-
tinental Army has just received a
$47,100 grant to be further ex-
plored thanks to the National
Park Service to The Princeton
Battlefield Society. The study will
take place on a 29-acre section of
the battlefield. An area of specific
interest is a 4.6-acre plot of land
on Stockton Street owned by the
DAmbrisi family. The DAm-
brisis land is adjacent to the state
park.
The purpose of the work,
which will begin with historical
research then lead to the use of
ground penetrating radar, is to de-
termine whether there are any
anomalies or indications of arti-
facts, Jerry Hurwitz, society
president, said in a press release.
Kip Cherry, first vice president
of the society, explained in the re-
lease that PBS is hoping results
from the study will give them
clues to assist in interpreting
what happened in early and late
stages of the battle and where a
mass grave could be located.
The DAmbrisi property is im-
portant, not as the site of heavy
fighting, but rather as a promi-
nent ridge containing troops just
before the battle began and as an
area of retreat when most av-
enues were blocked. And, most
importantly, as the likely burial
site, possibly a mass grave, for 36
British and American soldiers
killed during the battle, Cherry
said.
Cherry explained that the state
would be purchasing the Dam-
brisi property for an estimated
$900,000. The majority of the
funding will be from Green Acres;
the rest is to be funded from the
town and county. This will be the
parks first expansion since 1971.
Town soft-launches
new SeeClickFix system
Community Night Out on Aug.
5 was full of food, games and fun.
A new addition to the many
booths and attractions this year
was information from Access
Princeton, a new department cre-
ated by the town to offer superi-
or customer service to its resi-
dents, according to the munici-
pal website.
The department will be located
in Monument Hall, at 1 Monu-
ment Drive. Town officials are re-
ferring to the department as the
first stop for all things Prince-
ton.
Access Princeton comes as a
response to many residents being
unsure of where to report a spe-
cific problem; examples range
from a downed tree to a perpetu-
ally barking dog. Residents are
welcomed to stop by Access
Princeton, or call them at (609)
924-4141 for any general ques-
tions. Also included in the new
department are free notary serv-
ices.
Hours of operation for Access
Princeton will be Monday
through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m.
As part of the resident-centric
initiative, the town has partnered
with SeeClickFix, an application
that allows residents to report
anything from missed trash pick-
ups to broken streetlights directly
to the town. The town is then able
to track the issues and provide
timely updates as they are re-

The evening of Aug. 5 had just
begun to cool as members of the
Coalition for Peace Action gath-
ered in Hinds Plaza. Princetoni-
ans enjoyed picnics from home or
a nearby caf while waiting for
the Commemoration of Hiroshi-
ma to commence. Baskets of neon
origami and an arrangement of
paper-crafted sunflowers that
read, Nuclear Abolition Now!
brought color to surrounding
black and white photographs of
Hiroshima victims and devasta-
tion.
Despite the melancholic an-
niversary for which the event was
hosted, any passerby could see
that the eclectic crowd was not
there to give into mourning. The
atmosphere was upbeat and hope-
ful. The Solidarity Singers, a local
music group whose matching t-
shirts, stickered guitars and ac-
tivist pins were reminiscent of
the Doves during Vietnam, tuned
their instruments and warmed
up their vocal chords joyfully in
unison.
CFPA executive director Rev.
Robert Moore, or Bob as he
comfortably goes by, affirmed the
coalitions goal that day: You
cant ever tell what kind of im-
pact is made by what we witness.
Tonight in some ways is to renew
our own commitment and make
the right choice. He went on to
explain how there is a choice to
support nuclear warfare. The
world still has more than 17,000
nuclear bombs, far more powerful
than the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima, and enough Ohio-
class submarines to kill every
continent twice over. In a baseball
hat with a rainbow peace-sign
emblem on the front, Moore con-
tinued, I was originally a Hawk
in Vietnam. My dad was in the
Navy. But I soon realized the false-
hoods and deceptions of war.
Tonight is to remember those
who passed and also to hope for
the future. Weve got to choose
life!
By 7 p.m., seats were filled and
Moore got up to start the
evenings ceremony. As someone
who is undoubtedly a natural be-
hind a podium, Moore spoke with
great optimism and depth. Fol-
lowing his committed words was
a hauntingly beautiful composi-
tion performed by Glenn Swann
on the shakuhachi, a Japanese
flute. Swann wore traditional
Japanese garb and had a faded
tattoo on his shaven head. He ap-
peared to be reading from sheet
music in Japanese text that from
its yellowed tone looked like it
had been played recurrently. Most
individuals were swept up in the
sound, calm with eyes closed.
At 7:15 p.m., there was a minute
of silence that corresponded with
the exact time the bomb was
dropped on Hiroshima, Aug. 6 at
8:15 a.m. local time. Swann en-
sued the silence with an uplifting
tune and Mariko Banas read
haikus by Yasuhiko Shigemoto,
who had experienced the Hiroshi-
ma blast as a 15-year-old school-
boy. Seventeen syllables of poetic
anguish seemed to leave a pro-
found impact on those listening.
The keynote speaker was Zia
Mian, a research physicist in the
Program of Science and Global
Security at Princeton University

The university has prevailed in
all cases to date, but, this is a
milestone because it upholds the
zoning for the project, Epstein
said.
Epstein explained that he
agreed with Hurds rulings.
Judge Hurds decision was
comprehensive, and I am confi-
dent it will be upheld should the
objectors appeal, he said.
According to university
spokesman Martin Mbugua, the
court specifically rejected the
plaintiffs argument that the ordi-
nances were inconsistent with
the MLUL because the Planning
Board did not endorse the univer-
sitys Arts and Transit Project,
finding that the ordinances were
substantially consistent with the
Regional Master Plan.
The court also rejected the ar-
gument that the Memorandum of
Understanding entered into be-
tween the university and munici-
palities constituted improper con-
tract zoning, which said the town
adopted local zoning laws that
would allow the project in ex-
change for a series of payments
from the university. The court
found the MOU was a result of a
separate process from the adop-
tion of the zoning ordinances and
did not involve any circumven-
tion of the procedures required
by the MLUL.
Legal representation from the
opposition could not be reached
for a comment.
The vast construction project
includes the use of a former NJ
Transit easement that has been
used for the Dinky rail commuter
line, and is being converted into a
caf.
The new Dinky station will be
constructed 460 feet south. Cur-
rently, commuters are using a
temporary station.

Local families and community
members flocked to Princetons
Community Night Out for a ton of
fun on a hot summer night.
The event on Tuesday, Aug. 5
from 5 to 8 p.m. was hosted by the
Princeton Community Park
Swimming Pool and sponsored by
the police and recreation depart-
ments.
It was the ideal evening for
kids of all ages and their parents
to be gathering poolside for some
exciting, and some wet, games
and activities.
It never rains on Community
Night Out, said the Princeton
Rec. Director Ben Stentz, alluding
to yet another beautiful setting
for the event.
Set up on the grounds was a 24-
foot high rock wall, inflatable
sports and a dunk-a-cop tank.
Runner-up to the free hot dog line,
the dunking line where a most-
likely very thankful officer was
able to cool down many times
over at the mercy of Mercer
County kids was the longest.
Children were offered giveaways
from ice cream to Frisbees and in-
vited to participate in do-good
games sponsored by social action
groups such as Not in our
Town, as well as playful, interac-
tive police demonstrations with
the K-9 unit.

Samuel Hunter, professor of
art and archaeology, emeritus, at
Princeton University and influen-
tial modern and contemporary
art scholar, died on July 27 of nat-
ural causes in
Princeton at the age
of 91.
Hunter served as
faculty curator of
modern art at the
Princeton Universi-
ty Art Museum. He
worked with gradu-
ate students to or-
ganize exhibitions of
the works of several
renowned artists.
Prior to this role, he
served as director of
the Jewish Museum
in New York City.
Before coming to Princeton in
1969, while on faculty at Brandeis
University, Hunter was the found-
ing director of the Rose Art Mu-
seum at Brandeis. There, he built
the museums acclaimed, semi-
nal collection of modern and con-
temporary art, which includes
works by many artists who were
featured in the Fine Arts Pavilion
exhibition Hunter curated for the
1962 Worlds Fair in Seattle, said
a Princeton University release.
Hunter served as chief curator
and acting director at the Min-
neapolis Institute of Art, and as
associate curator of painting and
sculpture at the Museum of Mod-
ern Art in New York, where he or-
ganized his first major museum
shows, including the work of
David Smith (1957) and Jackson
Pollock (1956). He was an art crit-
ic and associate art
editor at The New
York Times. Addition-
ally, he organized the
American sections of
the Venice Biennale
(1976) and the Sao
Paolo Bienal (1956).
He was awarded an
honorary doctorate
from Brandeis in
2001, an Academico
degree from the Brera
Academy if Fine Arts
in Milan, Italy, in 1994
and a Guggenheim
fellowship in 1971.
He authored more than 50
books throughout his career and
more than 150 essays, museum
and gallery catalogues as well as
articles on art history and artists.
Hunter was born in Spring-
field, Mass. He graduated from
Williams College in 1943, and
served as a naval line officer in
the Pacific theater in World War
II. He studied art history in Flo-
rence and at the American Acade-
my in Rome on a Hubbard
Hutchinson Fellowship in art his-
tory and criticism after the war.
Hunter taught many courses at
Princeton, including Founda-
tions of Modern Art, Seminar
in Contemporary Art, Masters
and Movements of 20th-Century
Art, Seminar in Modern Paint-
ing and Sculpture and Contem-
porary Art Studies.
According to Princeton Univer-
sity, many of his students went on
to have prominent careers in the
art world and surrounding acade-
mia.
Hunter is survived by his wife,
Maia, and their son Harry, two
daughters Emmy and Alexa from
his previous marriage to Edys
Merrill, and one grandchild, Is-
abella.

Health Department
warns of West Nile Virus
There are no medications to
treat West Nile Virus or vaccines
to prevent it, however the Prince-
ton Health Department is actively
working with the state Depart-
ment of Health to control mosqui-
toes in the area.
The department is seeking to
educate residents about WNV,
which is most commonly trans-
mitted to humans by mosquitoes.
According to the health depart-
ment, most people infected with
WNV will have no symptoms, and
about one in five people infected
will develop a fever with other
systems. Less than 1 percent of
infected people develop a serious
and potentially fatal neurologic
illness.
Residents can control mosqui-
toes by reducing stagnant water
around their property. Addition-
ally, reporting dead or ill birds to
the health department is helpful
because the virus grows in birds
and is transmitted from bird to
bird by infected mosquitoes. The
risk of West Nile Virus encephali-
tis is highest from late July to
September. Although, according
to information released by the
health department, there is no ev-
idence of humans getting WNV
from handling live or dead infect-
ed birds, residents are urged to
avoid barehanded contact with all
dead animals, including birds.
Council to demolish
flood house
The Princeton Council recent-
ly hired the same demolition firm
that AvalonBay hired to demolish
the old hospital site to tear down
what has come to be known as the
flood house on Meadowbrook
Road.
Yannuzzi Wrecking and Recy-
cling Corp. will start with as-
bestos removal in mid-August
then will move to demolition.
The flood-prone house was not
only an eyesore on the road, but
council explained that it was be-
ginning to be a health hazard for
nearby residents.
Town officials purchased the
property from the owners in
June, with the majority of the
deal financed by a federal grant
and supplemented by some tax
money set aside for open space.
The purchase price was $625,000.
Property owners Nira and Moshe
Lavid have rented out the house,
which sits on three quarters of an
acre.
After the house is demolished,
it will be turned into open space.
Residents have expressed their
support of the deal, most notably
by attending the June 23 council
meeting at which the purchase
was finalized.

Well shine light
on your business!
and expert on nuclear weapons in
South Asia. Mian, who just this
year received the Linus Pauling
Legacy award a feat that re-
quires dedication to both science
and peace began by saying, I
am going to be brief; the issue is
solemn enough.
Mian described the dilemma
and, to a degree, the paradox of
nuclear warfare that began with
President Harry S. Trumans
very first sentence about the Unit-
ed States attack on Hiroshima.
The first the American people
and most of the world had heard
of an atomic bomb was when
Truman disclosed, A short time
ago an American airplane
dropped one bomb on Hiroshima
and destroyed its usefulness to
the enemy. That bomb has more
power than 20,000 tons of TNT.
Truman neglected to mention
that it had killed 100,000 civilians
around the base. According to
Mian, the atomic bomb created a
reign of ruin the like of which
had never been seen on earth.
The bombs power was broadcast-
ed, but the need to hide the truth
had immediately become imbed-
ded in the dawn of the nuclear
age. This, Mian said, was the
dilemma.
Mians final point was directed
toward one of the evenings
themes: hope. Prefacing with the
difference age plays into perspec-
tive, Mian stated that the majori-
ty of those who continue to sup-
port nuclear warfare and the at-
tack on Hiroshima are Ameri-
cans older than 60, whereas the
next generation has historical
distance to see. We havent
solved our problems yet; Mian
concluded. Theres another way.
I am hopeful about the future.

CFPA member Nick Confer and cousin Spencer Liberto discuss the
importance of events like these to friend Reverend Robert Moore.
Confer says its fantastic for his generation to get involved, remem-
bering in plain sight to not repeat history and make the same mis-
takes.
