Bumps on the road

to Complete Streets

Baby, its cold outside!

Street parking versus bike lanes

on Hamilton Avenue creates most
public comment since consolidation
By ERICA CHAYES
The Sun

VITA DUVA/The Sun

With the single-digit temperatures lately, it might have been a little too cold for a big camera-ready
smile from 4-year-old Victoria McManus, but she managed a little grin while stopping for a photo
with mom, Nancy. The Princetonians were strolling Palmer Square on a recent blustery day. The
McManuses also reflected on who were their female influences as part of National Womens History
Month in March. See their thoughts, and that of other Princeton residents, on page 2.

According to Mayor Liz Lempert, there will always be

bumps in the road when it
comes to making Princeton a
bike-friendly community. At a
council meeting last Tuesday, Feb.
24, one of these small yet disputed
potholes emerged as the public
and officials discussed the future
of Hamilton Avenue.
Parking regulations were at
the heart of the public hearing
specifically the ordinance to remove parking for the sake of bike
lanes. The ordinance recommended by Princetons Traffic
and Transit Advisory Committee
and the Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee is to remove
parking from the south side of
Hamilton Avenue between Harrison Street and Snowden Lane.
It has been controversial, and
I think most councilmembers
have been struggling with a decision, said Lempert earlier on
Tuesday. Our streets in Princeton are narrow it means either

losing parking or losing the beautiful trees; thats our challenge.

However, since Princeton implemented the Complete Streets
policy, the government and residents must honor that roadway
decisions be made with not only
cars in mind.
Sally Fields of Hamilton Avenue said the Hamilton residents
appreciate having a say in what
happens to their neighborhood.
The plan actually creates
much more hazardous, unsafe
conditions, Fields said. A few of
them: higher car speeds with no
parked cars, students at risk biking or walking on side streets
with no sidewalks, residents,
guests, service people parking on
side streets and having to dodge
speeding cars to go to houses on
Hamilton, a 24 by 7 ordinance, no
time restriction, way overboard.
Phil Abram, who has lived on
Hamilton Avenue for 38 years,
agreed with Fields comments
and was strongly against removing parking.

Princetonians reflect on National Womens History Month

When The Sun asked locals whom they would like to honor, choices were inspired by motherly love
By VITA DUVA
The Sun
March is recognized as National Womens History Month.
The late poet Maya Angelou
once said, How important it is
for us to recognize and celebrate
our heroes and she-roes!
This month marks a time to
take a step back and reflect on
prominent female icons, muses
and leaders whether in personal
lives or in the public eye who
have not only made changes in
their own lives and for those
around them, but who also made
changes for generations to come.
The Sun just could not wait to
hear what National Womens History Month means to the locals of
Princeton. Here is what a few people passing through town had to
share:
Princetonian Elizabeth Deacon
said her mother is her biggest inspiration.
My mom is a hard worker. She
is a nurse practitioner, so she
saves lives for a living, Deacon
explained. My mom also earned
her masters degree from Monmouth University the same year
that I graduated high school.
Nina Koehler, a second-time
Princeton visitor from Germany,

Nina Koehler, a native of Germany, refers to the community events pin board at the corner of Witherspoon Street and Nassau Street. Koehler says her mother has inspired her in many ways.
also felt her mother was her
hero.
My mother has inspired me in

many ways, Koehler said. She

is a teacher in Germany for infants in primary school. She has

taught me that learning to connect and earn a trust with your

children is one of the most impor-

tant parts of motherhood.

Swati Diwan, director of Exultancy, Inc. in Princeton, shared
her admiration for her mother, as
well: As a young girl growing up
in India, my mother showed me
that you could work and have a
family. She was well educated. My
father gave her the space that she
needed while she learned to run
her own business. Now, I own my
own consulting company here in
Princeton, and it is her influence
that has helped me be successful.
While
Princeton
resident
Nancy McManus spent an afternoon in town with her daughter,
Victoria, 4, she took the time to reflect on why her mother, too, is a
leader: My mother came to
America from the Dominican Republic when she was about 15
years old. And she set the bar
high. She raised five children as a
single mother, and is also a former doctorate graduate of
Princeton University.
Now, just like her, I dont stop.
I keep going, McManus said of
how her mothers life lessons
have translated in her own life.

Historical Society partners with nonprofits to enrich Community Day

By ERICA CHAYES
The Sun
For the past year, the Historical
Society of Princeton has opened
its Updike Farmstead doors to the
community the first Saturday of
every month. With a combination
of crafts for kids, lectures for
adults, performances, tours and
exhibitions of the fascinating artifacts and art, HSP has made
Princeton history a family-fun
event. Before having partnered
with various local businesses to
support the events, HSP is now
shifting to non-profit partnerships to better the bond between
organization and community.
Our goal is to raise awareness

for that particular organization

while promoting our site as a staple for local families to visit,
learn and have fun, HSP Director of Programs and Visitor Services Eve Mendel said.
The first of HSPs 2015 initiatives will take place at its March
Community Day on March 7 from
noon to 2 p.m. at the Farmstead.
HSP has taken the hand of the
Boys and Girls Club of Mercer
County, which provides youth
ages 5 to 18 with academic encouragement, arts enrichment,
recreational activities and a safehaven to spend time after school,
on weekends and throughout the
summer. The clubhouse is located
in Trenton and serves more than

2,300 young people in the surrounding area. BGC also offers its
teens opportunities to participate
in job-ready programs, paid internships and post-graduate career prep.
Mendel and her staff had the
impetus to partner with BGC
after the club organized a field
trip to Updike Farmstead in 2012.
The Boys and Girls came to us
to learn about Lenape that lived
on the Farmstead land. We did
walking tours of the grounds, examined our collection of countless arrowheads discovered here
and crafted dream catchers,
Mendel said.
After she received photos of
the kids with their crafts back at

the club, Mendel began to realize

the importance of local organizations supporting each other.
We allowed the Boys and Girls
Club to experience an offsite opportunity that they truly enjoyed
and benefited from, Mendel said.
There are so many wonderful organizations such as BGC around
Princeton, and here at HSP, we
have such an amazing site to
share.
When the time came to transition to non-profits, Mendel knew
from the BGCs visit that a partnership with the club would be a
great start to spreading awareness
in the community with a youthcentered, educational approach.
Many BGC kids are bringing

their families to March Community Day and will lead the arts
and crafts activity. Mendel also
expects to see non-BGC members
who will discover more about the
club, what it does for the community and how to join or volunteer.
In coming months, HSP plans
to partner with Friends of Herrontown Woods, SAVE, A Friend
to Homeless Animals, Trenton
Area Soup Kitchens A-Team
Artists and the FunkTASKtics,
Homefront and the Princeton
Photography Club. Mendel is
eager to see First Saturdays
evolve with local organizations
merging together.
After all, Mendel said, were
all in this together.

A resident of Princeton for 41

Larry Parsons will be exhibiting
his work along with nine other
award-winning
artists
at
AgORA: A Collection of Visions
starting Saturday, March 14. The
exhibit will be on display until
Wednesday, May 13.
The title of the show indicates
that we photographers all see
things very differently and present images that are very different
from each other, Parsons said of
his upcoming show.
The exhibition showcases a series from each of the 10 ex-

hibitors.
My series was made at Longwood Gardens. It was night, with
low light, so I photographed the
water lilies in the ponds outside
of the Conservatory, Parsons explained of his series titled Dancing Lilies.
I used a slow shutter speed,
which allowed
me to move the
camera
and
blur the images. In result,
the lilies look
as if they are
dancing.

Flint for a neighborhood flame

The Witherspoon-Jackson Stories Project seeks to preserve
the historic light shining from the Corridors residents
!

By ERICA CHAYES

The Sun
The
Witherspoon-Jackson
neighborhood has a left a legacy
in Princeton that, as its residents
move away or pass on, seems to
flicker like an old streetlamp.
From council meetings and historical tours led by African
Alleys informational guru
Shirley Satterfield, the reality of
Witherspoons slow dilapidation
as well its community-rich design, strong historical presence
and Southern front-porch aesthetic, are recurring topics. The
streets future is being pulled in
the direction of historical preservation and a new vision, but the
streets past is being relived as
those who are left emerge to tell
their stories.
In conjunction with the Arts
Council of Princeton, the Witherspoon-Jackson Stories Project, organized by Satterfield, ACP Executive Director Jeff Nathanson,
Benjamin Colbert and Princetons former mayor Michelle
Tuck Ponder, aims to enhance the
neighborhood flame. Supported
by a grant from the New Jersey
Council on the Humanities, the
project will collect oral histories
through a series of scheduled storytelling in small groups at the
Paul Robeson Center for the Arts.

No school district will see a decrease in state aid

Dan McDonough Jr.

chaIrman of elauwIt medIa

chool administrators throughout the state were holding their

collective breath leading up to
Gov. Christies 2015 budget address last
week.
Where would state aid stand? was
the question on everyones mind. If
state aid went down considerably, how
hard would it hit the school districts
bottom line?
Come last week, though, these same
administrators were able to breathe a
sigh of relief when Christie announced that his budget proposal
would actually increase state aid to
schools and, more importantly, would-

Its budget time

The school district will be releasing its
2015-2016 budget numbers, and the
impact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sun
will have all the details on the budget
when they are released. If you want to
share your thoughts on the topic, send
us a letter to the editor. Wed love to
hear from you.

nt reduce aid to any school district.

Overall, Christies budget provides
for an $811 million increase in educational funding, although only $4.6 million of that will go to school aid. The
rest is earmarked for debt, pension and
health care.

The good news for school districts

like ours, which doesnt receive the
bulk of state aid to public schools anyway, is that we will not lose any state
aid from last year. True, we wont be
seeing an increase, but at least we
wont lose money.
While we certainly could have used
more help from the Garden State, its
comforting to know we wont have to
kick in more money out of our already
thin pockets.
So two thumbs up to Christie for
paying attention to one of the most important aspects of life here in New Jersey our public schools.

The Sun wants to know: How did you get engaged?

Maybe he popped the question on a picturesque summer day at the beach, a banner plane proclaiming his love flying overhead. Perhaps she organized your family
and friends into a flash mob, asking for
your hand in marriage at the end of an
elaborate song and dance. Or maybe it was
simple, both curled up on the couch at
home, sharing a pizza and laughing over

the latest episode of a favorite sitcom.

March 20 is National Proposal Day, and
no matter how you went from single to betrothed, The Sun wants to celebrate with
your stories.
Was it the most romantic proposal in
history? A proposal that went hysterically
wrong, but still with an enthusiastic yes
at the end? Maybe the third time was the

Mayor Liz Lempert, Councilmembers Jenny Crumiller and
Jo Butler, and other staff members prepared a list of recommendations to be sent to the Department of Community Affairs in
hopes of improving state building
and fire codes in the wake of a
devastating fire at AvalonBays
Edgewater apartment complex in
Bergen County. The DCA has
since
asked
municipalities
throughout the state for comments.
The states fire code has been
under examination since the inferno, and local officials have
since called for improvements.
In response to the DCAs request, Princeton Council presented suggestions at its meeting on
Tuesday, Feb. 24, while also opening the floor to public comment.
Councils suggestions are to
strengthen sprinkler requirements to NFPA13; require masonry stairwells and masonry elevator shafts; require masonry firewalls from the foundation to the
roofline with a fire-resistant roofing system; require more stringent draft stopping and fire stop-

ping; require that if a story contains habitable space, it should be

considered a floor; and require
permits for after-the-fact penetration of two-hour firewalls in a
business or multi-family housing
unit.
Final comments were due
March 1.
Additionally, Lempert reported
that AvalonBay has already announced its plan to enhance the
fire protection system in the
Princeton development.
They have agreed to go above
and beyond the current code in
two key areas, Lempert said.
The first is that they have
pledged to meet the NFPA13
sprinkler standard. This is a
stricter standard than the
NFPA13R system that is currently required. The regular standard
requires that there be sprinklers
in the void spaces and attic spaces
and not just in the finished
spaces.
In addition, AvalonBay has
agreed to install masonry firewalls from the foundation to the
roof.
As previously stated by Lempert, AvalonBay reported that the
company planned to begin site
work in Princeton on March 1.

The Princeton Public Library,

in conjunction with the International Employees Group at
Princeton University, the Davis
International Center and the
Princeton Garden Theatre, present an International Cinema series starting Thursday, March 5.
The series will continue until
Thursday, May 7.
This group of people from the
partnering organizations has
worked together to plan the series
and brainstorm on the selection

of the films. We are very excited

about this springs lineup, PPL
Librarian Susan Conlon said.
The idea grew out of a shared interest to highlight and celebrate
the international diversity in the
Princeton community, last fall.
Our is to primarily promote
diversity and cultural awareness
through collaborative activities
on and off-campus, said Ma. Florevel Fusin-Wischusen, president
of IEGAP. Such collaboration
clearly enriches the experience of
its dedicated members through
community involvement in cultural and social events like the

film series.
Three films will be featured
during this series.
On Thursday, March 5, at 5:30

struggle a vacationing couple
goes through after the husband
panics and runs during an avalanche, leaving his wife and children to fend for themselves. The

obituary
Muriel H. Dodge
We are saddened to announce
the passing of Muriel H. Dodge,
86, who was a long- time resident
of Princeton. Predeceased by her
husband William two years ago,
she is survived by her sons Clinton and William, and grandsons
Jason and Andrew.
Muriel graduated from high
school in Maywood, where she
was a three-sport varsity athlete.
After graduating from Katharine
Gibbs College, she worked for several major Wall Street firms, including one position as executive
secretary for the CEO. When she
moved to the Princeton area, she
worked for FMC Corp. before
meeting her husband William
and starting a family. After her
children were older, she resumed
her career at the Montgomery
Township administrative office
for the engineering department
and for the township administrator.
Always a passionate volunteer
and leader, Muriel was active in
many local civic organizations.
She was a volunteer EMT and ambulance driver for the Montgomery Township first aid squad
and supported the broader state
EMS community through the
Gold Cross. She also served on the
board of directors for the Lenape
Swim Club.
In her retirement, she continued to be an active volunteer as a
president of the local 76ers Seniors of Rocky Hill, secretary of
Montgomery Township Senior
Citizens, treasurer of the Montgomery Womens Club, the Pres-

ent Day Club,

several
and
local churches.
Finally,
after moving
to the Princeton Windrows
Community,
she was active
in numerous
committees inDODGE
cluding
finance, culinary and transportation. Her interests and hobbies included finance and investment
clubs, travel and playing the
organ.
Muriel was known by friends
and family for her warm smile,
hearty laugh and friendly handshake extended to those around
her. She cared deeply for others
and was always ready to help a
friend in need.
A funeral service was held Friday, Feb. 27, at 11 a.m. at the All
Saints' Episcopal Church in
Princeton. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to
the Eden Autism Services Foundation, 2 Merwick Road, Princeton, NJ 08540.

Take the PARCC was co-hosted by Save Our Schools New Jersey and Princeton Regional Education Association on Feb. 23 at
the Princeton High School Performing Arts Center. A crowd of
55 to 60 people, comprised of community members, educators, parents and students, listened to presentations by Julia Sass Rubin, a
founding member of SOSNJ, and

While several Take the

first one co-hosted by a local
branch of the New Jersey Educators Association and a public
schools advocacy group.
Following the presentations, attendees logged on to www.parcconline.org and took practice
tests. It was suggested that parents take tests at the grade level(s)
of their child/ren.
Reactions varied during this

PARCC testing.
A question and answer period
followed. Queries included concerns about graduation requirements, time spent prepping for
the test, alternative coursework
for those refusing the test, rumors of ties between school funding and participation rate, and
impact on special education students. Educators spoke frankly of
the stress their students endure
with NJASK stories of tears and
vomiting in the halls and their
fears of how the bar at which
PARCC questions are set will exacerbate the pre-existing culture
of test and achievement anxiety.

Council tables
ordinance
COUNCIL
Continued from page 1

A local mom, Nina Peel, on the

other hand, pleaded to have council consider the safety for residents such as herself who walk,
cycle and drive in Princeton.
I believe cycle lanes will improve safety for all three categories of road users, Peel said. I
dont feel safe cycling in Princeton currently using the Sharrows
and frankly some of the opinions
expressed lately have terrified me
further.
I have to think now not only
about myself but also about my
daughter.
Peel said that too often changes
are not made until there is an accident or injury, such as the father and son being hit before the
crosswalk was approved on Washington Road. She hopes bike lanes
will be created before anyone
else becomes a statistic.
Some residents of Hamilton
Avenue, however, felt they were
not properly informed in the initial letter in June proposing
changes to the street such as
repaving.
Maria Kozhevnikova complained about not being properly
notified of this ordinance.
A local engineer and experienced cyclist, Mike Suber of Terhune Road, said: Hamilton Avenue, like all our streets, is not a
private parking lot but a public facility intended for and paid for by
all of us all of us are taxpayers.
Suber said he does not personally feel the need for bicycle lanes
but feels strongly that they will
aid adults who have little experience or are lacking in confidence
to ride safely on streets.
This is a small part in a bigger
plan. If you do not vote for this beginning, it will set back plans for
a sustainable Princeton and I
dont think any of us want to see
that, Suber said.

Dozens of residents spoke passionately about the ordinance

according to Lempert, more than
council had heard since consolidation.
Lempert clarified some aspects
of Complete Streets, which has
been endorsed by the state, Mercer County, the former township
and borough and now consolidated Princeton. There was a lot of
talk of creating a master plan before enforcing any new regulations, though Lempert stressed
that Complete Streets must
start with something small and
does not need a complete plan to
begin
implementing
small
changes.
We have to examine, is this
road working for everybody?
Lempert stated.
Ultimately, council tabled the
ordinance. Tabling requires that
the ordinance be removed from
discussion until a councilmember motions for it to be untabled again notifying the public before reconsidering Princetons options and settling on a
vote.

Continued from page 5
when Princeton remained a Jim
Crow town. Satterfield explained
how her neighbors ancestors
her family goes back six generations in Princeton came primarily during the 18th century while
enslaved to the presidents and
trustees of Princeton University.
Later, she said, more blacks, such

as Paul Robesons father who was

an escaped slave, moved from the
South to the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood and acted as
the working class backbone of
the community.
The Southern culture was apparent in the porched properties
that lined the area of Witherspoon between Jackson Street
now Paul Robeson Place and
Birch Avenue. It was apparent in
the friendly community Satterfield said was like one big family, in the swirling barbershop

poles and ice cream parlors. In

retrospect, the Southern culture
was perhaps most apparent in
that the black community was
relegated to a specific area and
how Princeton, though located in
the North, remained a Jim Crow
town well into the 1940s.
There was a colored Y, colored
schools, a colored section of the
cemetery. We were all segregated.
But we had everything in our
neighborhood. I didnt even realize there was segregation until I
went to high school and was treat-

ed differently by my teachers,
Satterfield said.
The recognition of Witherspoon-Jacksons divided yet vibrant past grew louder during
February when the country recognizes the accomplishments of
the black community. The WJ Stories Project was initiated with a
screening of Selma at the
Princeton Garden Theater on
Feb. 5 and with a presentation at
the Arts Council on Feb. 22.
The project, however, will extend far beyond February as indi-

viduals proceed to tell their stories.
