Proposedzoning bill

drawsgroups ire

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

A state Assembly committeetabled a bill that would make pri-vate colleges and institutes ofhigher education exempt frommunicipal zoning laws at a meet-ing of the budget committee onJune 17.

The state Senate passed the billlast year, and then it moved to theHigher Education Committee ofthe Assembly. The bill appearedon that committees agenda sever-al times, but was never publiclyheard.

When it was in the Senate, wedidnt have a chance to fully mobi-lize against it, Mayor Liz Lem-

pert said. There wasnt much in-formation out there, even for thesenators that were voting. One ofthe benefits of it coming up for apossible hearing in the Assemblyback then was it gave us time tomobilize and get the word outabout why it would be so damag- KATIE MORGAN/The Princeton Sun

Battlefield park preparing for spike in visitorsBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

As the weather heats up,Princeton Battlefield State Parkis preparing for a spike in visitorsby working to complete renova-tion projects.

When the weather gets betterit becomes busier in the park,said John Mills, battlefield cura-tor. Some people visit becauseits a historic location. Others usethe park as a place to picnic, or

just to be outside. The renova-tions will make those visits more

enjoyable.Mills said some of the projects

are still in the planning stages,but are expected to be under waythis summer.

Some of the projects are com-ing along a little more quicklythan others, Mills said. Withthe first, to replace the originalinteractive map of the battle,theres a bit more urgency to getthat done because we really needthat sort of interpretive materialfor the public to get a better un-derstanding. Its been a missinglink in the park.

Mills said the original battlemap was breaking into pieces,and had to be removed. The newmap, engraved by a local artisan,has already been created.

Were just working to deter-mine how well fit it onto the ex-isting podium, Mills said. Theproject is in the works, and wehave no set date, but it will be

soon.In addition to the replacement

of the map, Mills said the restora-tion of the cemetery behind theIonic Colonnade is a priority.

The area, which representsthe resting place of both Ameri-can and British soldiers, is inneed of some work, Mills said.The stones need to be reset, aswell as the bronze lettering.There will be landscaping done,as well.

Mills said the gravesite projectwill begin after paperwork andpermits are submitted and ap-

proved by the state Office of His-toric Preservation.

The third project slated for thebattlefield is a restoration of theClarke House Museum, built in

1772.Restoration of the Clarke

House will be a multiyear proj-ect, Mills said. And well be be-ginning that this summer. Thefinal engineering report is expect-ed within the week regarding thefoundation and sill work. Thestate has money already set asideto begin this project, and once weget the report, well move forwardwith contractors and bidding.

The next large event hosted atthe Princeton Battlefield will bethe annual Fourth of July pro-gram.

Scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3p.m. on July 4, the event will in-clude childrens games, demon-strations of 18th century artilleryand muskets, a talk on the Battle

of Princeton and a reading of theDeclaration of Independence.

Its an important holiday to re-member the history of our na-tion, Mills said. The Battle ofPrinceton took place almost halfa year to the day after the signingof the Declaration of Independ-ence. It was one of the more hard-fought battles, and it was Wash-ingtons first victory over troopsin the field. Many people come tohear the Declaration read. Theywant to hear it and actually lis-ten. People havent always takenthe time to read it over and under-

stand themselves.The July 4 event is free and

open to the public. Mills said heexpects between 300 and 500 visi-tors to the park.

Dangerous Blossoms exhibit runs through July 19D&R Greenway Land Trust in-

vites the public to its newest exhi-bition, Dangerous Blossoms,whose art ranges from images ofplants that poison humans tobeautiful but fatal flowers in-creasingly destroying nativespecies in our region. The MarieL. Matthews Galleries will bloomthrough July 19, business hoursof business days.

Exhibiting artists in this in-triguing assemblage include Sil-vere Boureau, Gail Bracegirdle,Linda Brooks Hirschman, Bisa

Butler, Dolores Cohen, Lora Durr,Kathie Miranda, Linnea W.Rhodes, William Vandever, An-drew Wilkinson and AnneZeman.

Curator Diana Moore said,Soft petals and vivid leaves mayseem beautiful, but hold potentsecrets, as we all learned, readingAgatha Christie mysteries. Newtoxicities spell the death of nativeplants, who have no defenses

against the exotics. Despite theirbeauty, invasives such as looses-trife, certain celandines, honey-suckles and multiflora rose spelldoom for native landscapes.

A key factor of D&R Green-way stewardship, advises LindaMead, CEO and president, is theremoval of invasive species, re-placing them with the nativesthat belong here. Our NativePlant Nursery provides plants forlocal gardens and gardeners. Vol-unteers help gather these seedson our preserves, then plant and

tend them through winter. Na-tives require less water and fertil-izer to thrive. They evolved withtheir pollinators, nourishing in-sects and birds over the cen-turies.

Chicago Cubs draftPrinceton University

standout pitcherBy NICK COHEN

The Princeton Sun

A Princeton Tiger is on his wayto becoming a Chicago Cub.

The Chicago Cubs selected ZakHermans, a 2013 Princeton gradu-ate and standout pitcher, with the888th pick in this years Major

League Baseball draft.To get the opportunity to play

professional baseball, it really is adream come true, Hermans said.Its been an extraordinaryamount of hard work Ive put inover the years to get to thispoint.

Hermans finished his seniorseason with a 3-4 record, compil-ing a 2.40 ERA across 56-and-one-

third innings. He led the team incomplete games with six andstrikeouts with 55. He had 195 ca-reer strikeouts.

From an ability standpoint,there is no doubt he deserves tobe drafted. Mentally, he is a pro al-ready, Princetons head baseballcoach Scott Bradley said.

Hermans signed with the Cubsand will report to its facility inMesa, Ariz., before being as-signed to either the Cubs' RookieBall team in Mesa, or its Class Ashort season team in Boise, Idaho.Bradley was both excited and re-lieved when hearing his ace pitch-er had been drafted.

Princeton High Schoolstudent earns $5K scholarship

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

James Cooper Itkoff, a senior atPrinceton High School, was oneof 20 students recognized with a$5,000 scholarship by NJ FirstLady Mary Pat Christie.

Itkoff was awarded the NewJersey Heroes Spirit of a Heroscholarship for his work withPrinceton Special Sports, a volun-teer organization that provides

children with special needs theopportunity to play youth sportsin a comfortable environment.

Itkoff is a member of the orga-nizations buddy program, andhas become a junior coach.

We really rely on our buddiesto help with the kids, John Peco-ra, head coach and co-founder ofthe organization, said. If we did-nt have kids like James helping

us, theres no way wed be able torun this program.

Itkoff said he became involvedwith Princeton Special Sports in2005 when he moved to Princetonand met neighbor and co-founderAnn Diver.

I met Ann, and we startedtalking about the organizationand how I could get involved,Itkoff said.

This year is the first year thescholarship has been given out.

Im so proud that throughNew Jersey Heroes, we were ableto provide these deserving stu-dents with an opportunity to fol-low their dreams and pursuetheir desired career paths,Christie said in a statement.These students have made a dif-ference in their communitiesthrough service and volun-teerism. I applaud the spirit and

commitment they have demon-strated to improve the lives ofothers, and their personal aspira-tions to achieve future success.

More than 700 New Jersey stu-dents applied for the scholar-ships. Itkoff had to submit a highschool transcript and a letter ofrecommendation from a teacheror advisor. Itkoff was chosen forhis commitment to the communi-ty, as well as his high academicstanding. Itkoff received his

scholarship, along with 19 otherwinners, at a ceremony at theGovernors Mansion atDrumthwacket on May 30.

I was so honored consideringit comes from the governor andhis wife, Itkoff said. I thought itwas really cool that out of 700people I was part of a group of

letters to the editor

in our opinion

Valley Road SchoolDollars and sense


In May, Preservation New Jersey is-

sued its 19th annual list of the 10

Most Endangered Historic Places

in the state. The list includes the Val-

ley Road School, the beloved landmark

which has served various uses follow-

ing the Princeton Regional Board of

Educations construction of new facil-

ities in the 1960s.

A community group, the Valley

Road School Community Center Inc.,

would like the township to renovate

and repurpose the building as a com-

munity center. On its face, this is a

worthy proposal, and VRSCCIs advo-

cacy of a petition drive to place this

proposal on the November ballot is the

way to go. But the groups case would

be strengthened considerably if a lot

more spade work were done. Residents

deserve a much clearer idea of what

this proposal entails.

Here are some obvious questions.

1.) Where will the money come from

to pay for what will doubtless be an ex-

pensive capital project? What weve

been hearing is that the Valley Road

School is in sorry shape, particularly

the oldest portion, which is nearly a

century old.

2.) How does one repurpose a build-

ing when future tenants have not been

identified and their needs ascer-

tained? The concept is to provide non-

profit service organizations with sta-

bility through affordable, stable rents

(and) the benefits of shared infra-

structure. The reasoning is persua-

sive. This approach has worked else-

where. How would it work here?

3.) Whats the annual budget for gen-

eral operations and maintenance?

Wheres that money to come from?

Rental fees, community donations, the

townships coffers? Some or all of

these streams? But consider: Rents

need to be affordable, hence less

than market value, optimally. Commu-

nity donations are problematical; the

last thing the nonprofits need is anoth-

er worthy cause out there competing

for philanthropic dollars. And Prince-

ton consolidated, at long last, to help

get the costs of government under

control. How would this project affect

that commitment?

These questions need to be ad-

dressed at some point. Earlier seems

preferable to later. Yes, its a worthy

proposal. But the last thing this town

needs to create is a money pit.

Send hunger packingThe Sunday afternoon of June 9 was the

culmination of a 55-day process and collab-oration that began on April 23. Its missionwas to raise enough money to feed 215 chil-dren in kindergarten through fifth gradein the Princeton Public School System for36 weekends during the school year. Thereis no question that members of our Prince-ton community struggle to feed their fami-lies each week. We also know that many ofthese families have school-age children at-tending our public schools childrenwhose minds we want focused on learning

and excelling. Providing an extra source ofnutrition on the weekends might seemsimple, but the payoff for these children,their families and our community is im-measurable.

The event at the Garden Theater fea-

tured the Sundance Film Festival nominee,

A Place at the Table. The film poignantlyand powerfully made the case that hungerin America is a serious problem in ourcountry. The documentary focused on theexperiences of just a few people and fami-lies across the country, highlighting theirchallenges and suggesting that, with moreattention drawn to this subject, more sup-port services for this population is attain-able.

Following the film, ElisabethHirschhorn Donahue of the Woodrow Wil-son School led a panel discussion. DougMassey, chair of the Woodrow Wilsons Of-

fice of Population Research, provided a na-tional overview of the increase in povertyin the U.S. Edwina Hawes, head of thechild study team at the John WitherspoonMiddle School, provided a local perspec-tive. And, Lori Silverbush, the films co-di-

rector, spoke of the need for more citizen

involvement in lobbying government offi-cials to encourage them to take more as-sertive action to support our 50 million un-derserved in our country.

The Princeton Human Services Com-mission, in collaboration with MercerStreet Friends, Princeton Public Schoolsand a group of highly motivated membersof the Princeton community, raised nearly$50,000 by the time the movie was shown.With the Princeton High School acapellagroup, Around 8, singing and drawing at-tention to the table display outside the Gar-den Theater, even a child walking by was

motivated to donate 34 cents to this worthycause.

The planning committee has a deep grat-itude for our very early supporters, which

only 3 percent of people selected.It was amazing listening to whatthe other winners did and think-ing that I was part of that class.That was a huge honor.

Pecora said Itkoff is not theonly member of his family whocontributes to Princeton SpecialSports.

It started with him and hisolder sister Samantha about

seven or eight years ago, Pecorasaid. They came to help us, andnow his brothers Thomas andJohn help, too. If you ask me,theres not enough Itkoffs inPrinceton.

Princeton Special Sports offerssoccer, basketball and baseballprograms throughout the year.Pecora said the organizationserves more than 100 children be-

tween the ages of 6 and 20 eachyear. They play at three levels.

We divide the kids based ontheir athletic ability, Pecora said.

Accomplished players have anormal game. The intermediategroup learns the game and workson specific skills, and then thereis a beginner level. No matterwhat sport were playing or atwhat level, the first thing you dois make sure the child has fun.The idea is to make the childhappy.

Pecora said Itkoff is patientand attentive when working withthe children, but he believes the

experience is actually moremeaningful for Itkoff.These kids get an hour and a

half of social interaction withsomeone who is trying to put asmile on their face, Pecora said.But I very much think buddieslike James get more out of it.These kids, many of them ath-letes like James, who plays on thePHS baseball team, come down

here and work with a child whowants to play baseball on a highlevel and may never get to do that.These athletes walk away with a

profound sense of gratitude and asense of purpose.

Itkoff said working withPrinceton Special Sports makeshim feel lucky for what he is ableto do.

It really gives me a sense ofperspective, Itkoff said. And Ifeel lucky to be able to help thesefamilies.

Its incredible what they dealwith every day, all day, and if I canhelp them with that for two hours

a week, and make these childrenfeel like they fit in, thats reallygratifying for me.

Itkoff will be attending Vir-ginia Tech in the fall, where hewill major in business manage-ment. He plans to try out for theclub baseball team, and has al-ready begun looking into oppor-tunities to continue working withkids with special needs.

include Princeton University, thePrinceton Theological Seminary,and Jenny and Jon Crumiller.With their commitment, the mis-sion had proven credentials andothers were very willing to do-nate.

The current goal is to raiseenough money for this weekendfeed program for not one schoolyear, but two. And, at this point,the group is well on the way tomeeting the second year goal.And, with even more funds, theprogram can grow to serve evenmore grades in the school system.

It has been a great honor towork with the many very talentedand dedicated members of ourPrinceton community whoserved on this committee. Work-ing with all of them made theprocess both enjoyable and re-warding. Thank you to allthecommittee members and mem-

bers of the Princeton communitywho supported this effort.

Ross Wishnick, chairpersonPrinceton Human Services

Commission

NiOT complimentsdeveloper, groups

Not in Our Town complimentsthe Princeton Planning Board,Princeton Citizens for Sustain-able Neighborhoods, the Avalon-Bay developers of the former hos-pital site on Witherspoon Streetand others for the earnest effortthey are making to create homesfor an estimated 280 individualand family units that will servethese residents, their immediateneighbors and the Princeton com-munity at large.

NiOT is an interfaith, interra-cial social action group that hasbeen working in Princeton forabout 15 years. In addition to ourprograms, we have taken public,

as well as private, stands on anumber of issues that pertainedto our mission, in particular itsfocus on issues around race. Ex-amples are the community pool,the organization of the police de-

partment, keeping the HumanServices Department and Com-mission, public rejection of the

distribution of racial-hate andanti-semitic literature, and sup-port of our Latino immigrantcommunity.

Some of us have attended anumber of the Planning Boardhearings around the AvalonBayproject. We noticed the absence ofany direct reference to race orclass, though we often felt it as anundercurrent in the room. Theseare certainly matters of impor-tance for this project. It is longsince time to be clear about them,whether looking at the impact onsurrounding neighborhoods, orthe creation of a sense of neigh-borliness and community withinthe development itself.

For example, from the informa-tion we have received, most of the56 affordable units have beenclumped together in the least de-sirable locations in the complex.This is contrary to what we ex-pect the spirit of the project to beas well as what we understand

state rules to require. This spiritcould be better met if the afford-able units were spread quite even-ly throughout the development.

Also, the hospital site with itsbuildings has been a barrier be-tween the Witherspoon-Jacksonarea and the Harris-Jeffersonarea, thus dividing a neighbor-hood that has been, historically,largely black as well as, more re-cently, Latino from a neighbor-hood that is largely white. But, asa hospital, these buildings servedan important public purpose.Now, with the withdrawal of thehospital from this site, our com-munity has an opportunity to cre-ate a use which helps to integratethe two sections and furthers thegoal of respect for all persons,whatever their race and whatevertheir economic or social status.

We hope that a vision that in-cludes connection among newand existing residents, apprecia-tion for the history and well-being

of existing neighborhoods, an in-tegrative approach to housing de-cisions, and welcoming publicspaces, will guide this and future

Ive always felt theres a biasagainst the Ivy League playersfrom Major League Baseballteams. Zak had good enough stuffto be drafted as a junior, Bradleysaid.

According to Bradley, Her-mans ability is not what will bemissed most by the team but hisleadership.

His work ethic and the timehe put in every day was reallysomething our younger guyscould learn from. Hes definitely

someone you want your playersto model themselves after,Bradley said. He never had athrowing session or a workoutwhen he wasnt focused or tryingto get the most out of it. I knewwhat I was getting from himevery time, day in and day out.

Even with pro scouts watchingor monitoring his every start,Bradley says Hermans focusnever wavered.

The prospect of being drafteddidnt affect him at all. He wouldtell me Coach, I love being atPrinceton, Bradley said.

As a selection in round 30, Her-mans knows there is still a longroad filled with a lot of hard workahead of him. In speaking with

the Cubs, though, he is confidentabout his future.

Theyve been looking to keepme as a starter, Hermans said.Im going to do whatever it is theteam wants from me, just try togive myself the best chance tomove up within the organiza-tion.

His former coach believes Her-mans future is bright as well.

I truly think he has the ability.He has a chance to make it,Bradley said. He already has aprofessional slider and breakingball. And he has the mental make-up, too. Im excited to watchwhats next for Zak.

Liquor store ownerdevastated by closing

Nearly 16 years ago my familyand I purchased a retail liquorstore in downtown Princeton lo-cated at 174 Nassau St. PrincetonWine and Liquor impressed uswith its quaint 19th century inte-rior look and its warm cozy feel.The store had been namedPrinceton Wine and Liquor since1975, some of the older residentsof the Princeton area may re-member its former name: TheCellar. Almost all will remember

that liquor store with the whitelights in the window. For 16years we serviced Princeton andthe surrounding area. We lovedour store and more importantlyour customers who would stop byand make a purchase on theirway to their favorite local BYOBrestaurant. Yes the hours werelong and the economy rocky attimes but we endured. We werehappy and proud to have a busi-ness to call our own.

Unfortunately our little slice of

the American dream will soon becoming to an end. The FirstChurch of Christ Scientist, ourlandlord, has decided not torenew our lease. When we

pressed for an answer as to whytheir reply was and I quote we felt that it is not in our best

interest having a liquor store as atenant since we are a church.Their best interest? What aboutme and my familys best interest?Just because we sell a productthat they don't believe in as theexcuse not to renew our lease isnothing short of discrimination.

Needless to say we are devas-tated. With just a one-year exten-sion left on our lease we tried tofind a suitable location to moveour business. With the restric-tions as to where a liquor storecan set up shop because of dis-tance between other stores,schools and churches, there wasno place suitable for us to relo-cate. Our plan 'B' was trying tosell the license by itself. Potentialbuyers encountered the same ob-stacles we did with the restric-tions of placing the license. Sonow not only do I have to close mydoors but I am holding a valuableliquor license that I cannot seemto sell.

At a time when Gov. Christie istrying to promote small business,create jobs and improve New Jer-sey's economy I now have to shutmy doors. My son, Bob, who hasrun and managed the businessfor 16 years is now out of a job asare myself and my other employ-ees. It would be a different situa-tion if our landlord had come tous with a lease renewal andtripled my rent. Instead they donot want me in their building be-cause of the product I sell. Prince-

ton Wine and Liquor, anotherPrinceton icon soon to be just amemory.

ing to Princeton.Lempert said municipal offi-

cials thought the bill would notreappear during this session ofthe Assembly, and they were sur-prised when it appeared on theBudget Committees agenda forJune 17.

The public meeting was sched-uled to begin at 10 a.m., but thecommittee remained in closedsession until close to noon.

It was a really weird situa-tion, Lempert said. We weresupposed to start at 10, and wewaited for almost two hours.There were rumors floatingaround the room that they mighthold the bill, and then the firstthing they announced was thatthey were holding the bill.

Committee chairman Assem-blyman Vincent Prieto an-nounced at the start of the meet-

ing that the bill would be held forthe time being. Prieto did not giveany indication of when or if thecommittee would consider the

bill again.Lempert attended the meeting

as part of a group from Princeton

that included Council membersJo Butler, Patrick Simon andJenny Crumiller, community ac-tivist Kip Cherry and former Bor-ough Mayor Yina Moore.

There was a pretty stronggroup from Princeton that went,Lempert said. We didnt get achance to speak, but we all filledout the slips about what we want-ed to speak to, so we were able toget the message through thatway.

Lempert said opposing the billis particularly important forPrinceton, which is home toPrinceton University, the Insti-tute for Advanced Studies,Princeton Theological Seminaryand Westminster Choir College.

All four are bordered by resi-dential neighborhoods, and threeare bordered by historic sites,Lempert said. This bill wouldsay that private colleges and uni-versities dont have to follow thelaws of the town when it comes to

zoning and planning. They wouldbe exempt from any historicalpreservation ordinances, tree re-moval ordinances and regula-

tions about storm water and howtall a building can be. All of thelaws that weve written in order

to shape this town, theyd be ex-empt from.

Lempert said she has concernsthat a passage of the bill wouldresult in further exemptions tomunicipal ordinances and codes.

Its a very audacious piece oflegislation, she said. Im alsoworried about the slippery slopeit creates. Why not also exemptprivate high schools and anyother private institutions? It justopens the floodgates to the pointwhere the ability of the town tozone is really thrown out the win-dow.

Lempert said municipal offi-cials would continue to watch As-sembly committee agendas incase the bill appears again,though it is unlikely the Assem-bly will act before the July 1 re-cess.

Were going to remain hyper-vigilant, Lempert said. There isstill the lame duck period afterthe election.

Well just hope that our mes-sage has gotten through and thebill will hopefully be put to restfor good.

Grads celebrate end of high school careersBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Members of the PrincetonHigh School Class of 2013 cele-brated the end of their highschool careers on June 20.

The 347 graduates processedonto the front lawn of the schooland took seats at the center of asemi-circle of hundreds of par-ents, friends and family mem-bers.

Principal Gary Snyder intro-duced the graduates, and ClassPresident John Bond took the

stage.I had some trouble figuring

out what to say, Bond said. Iwant to thank our parents andfamily members for helping usthrough high school and throughour first 18 years of life.

Bond went on to thank histeachers, many of whom wereseated on the stage, for their hardwork both in and out of the class-room, and for the dedication theyshowed in making the graduation

ceremony run smoothly.Bond gave a special thanks toSuperintendent Judith Wilson,who will be retiring at the end ofthe year.

Ms. Wilson definitely deservesour thanks, Bond said. Wereglad to count her among the classof 2013, but shell be missed atPHS.

Students who were chosen bytheir peers to deliver addressesbased on achievement, spirit andfuture delivered the next three

speeches.Ann Sarnak spoke on the topic

of achievement. Sarnak ex-plained to her fellow graduatesthat the most valuable achieve-ments can be identified notthrough certificates and trophies,but through the graduates matu-ration during high school.

Our achievements are not thethings we did, Sarnak said. Butthe way we have transformed andthe people we have become.

Speaking on the topic of spirit,Andrew Zysk delivered an ad-

dress speckled with well-receivedjokes and several heartfelt mo-

ments.At PHS we have done a lot of

things well, Zysk said. Our mo-ments of success, victories as aschool, team and group taught usthat its not just me against theworld, its us against the world.

Zysk spoke about the small mo-ments he would remember fromhis time at PHS.

We will remember the faces inthe hallways, the high fives ex-changed between classes, Zysksaid. We should focus not on the

big victories, but on the littleones. We, the class of 2013, cannotbe easily classified. We have beenleaders of the communitythrough our personalities and tal-ents. The school spirit we have isa result of that.

The final student speech, deliv-ered by Jinwoo Chong, focused onthe idea of the future.

Chong thanked his family andfriends for helping him to growinto the young man he is today. He

expressed his belief that the PHSclass of 2013 is special.So what if were one of mil-

lions of schools doing the samething in ceremonies that proba-bly look a lot like this one?Chong said. I think were spe-cial. I think our personalitiesmake it special.

Chong reflected on the way hefelt upon entering high school,and compared it to the way hefeels as he prepares to begin col-lege.

So much changes when weenter high school that I dontthink we can even imagine whatlies ahead, Chong said. Justlike in freshman year, so much isabout to change. So are we ready?Like most things in our lives,most of us probably have no idea.I dont know, and I probably wontknow until it happens. But ineverything that you do, in everyendeavor that you seek, in every-thing you have the courage to try,

I wish you nothing but the verybest of luck.
