mediation forAvalonBay case

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

A Superior Court judge lastweek directed the town of Prince-ton and AvalonBay to receive helpfrom a mediator to solve their dis-pute over the former hospital siteon Witherspoon Street.

Mary Jacobson, Mercer Coun-ty Superior Court judge, ques-tioned the towns ability to re-quire AvalonBay to conduct addi-tional environmental tests at the

site.However, AvalonBay still does

not have permission to demolishthe hospital building. The devel-oper plans to build a 280-unitapartment complex at the site.AvalonBay requested an injunc-tion requesting permission toproceed with demolition of thehospital building, but Jacobsendenied it.

AvalonBay disputed the townsdecision to hire lawyer NeilYoskin in June to serve as co-counsel and to handle the envi-ronmental issues raised by litiga-tion. AvalonBay accused thecouncil of attempting to stall pro-ceedings and questioned Yoskinsinterests.

In April, the town council andAvalonBay came to an impasseover environmental testing at thehospital site. During a publicmeeting, a consultant hired by

the town issued revised recom-mendations for environmentaltesting and suggested that moresamples should be taken to evalu-ate for potentially harmful chemi-cals and metals.

Residents bike 500 miles in seven days


Tim Quinn, director of com-munications at the PrincetonPublic Library, first heard aboutthe Anchor House Ride for Run-aways while working as a re-porter at the Trenton Times.Each year, the paper sent a re-porter on the nearly 500-mile,seven-day ride to cover the event.

When Quinn decided to quitsmoking and take up fitness, hechose cycling as his primary formof exercise.

After he had been cycling forabout a year, in 1992, Quinn foundhimself on a ride with Joe Yuhas,a Mercer County freeholder andco-founder of Anchor House whoorganized the first Ride for Run-aways in 1978. On July 4, 1992,Yuhas explained the ride toQuinn and spoke with passionabout the plight of the childrenwho arrive at Anchor House seek-ing help.

These are the most vulnerablemembers of our community,young people, many of whomhave at best been neglected and at

worst beenseriouslyabused.Many timestheirabusers areadults in aposition inwhich theyshould havecared forthem,

Quinn said.Quinn

said hisconversa-tion withYuhas hada profoundinfluenceon him, sohe ex-pressed interest in participatingin the ride the following year.

He said why dont you comethis year? So, a week later, I wason a bus to Virginia to do my firstride, Quinn said.

Now, Quinn has just wrappedup his 22nd ride. The 200 partici-pants finished the trek from Lex-ington, Va., to Trenton on Satur-

day, July19. He hasbeen onthe com-mittee re-sponsiblefor organ-izing theride everysince hisfifth year,and in Sep-

tember, hewill beginhis secondstint aschairper-son of thecommit-tee.

He hasalso been a

member of the foundation boardof directors for the past fiveyears.

Quinn is not the only Prince-ton resident who has taken a vest-ed interest in the organizationand the mission of its ride.

My first year, I think I was oneof maybe two or three Princetonresidents to do the ride. It has

been very rewarding to see thenumber of Princeton residentswho have gotten involved withthe ride steadily increase, hesaid.

Kathy Drulis, director of oper-ations for Anchor House, agrees.

There is absolutely a strongpresence from Princeton resi-dents. They are very committedto our cause and they takefundraising very seriously and

take our cause seriously. They doa great job every year, Drulissaid.

Quinn said while he is passion-ate about cycling, it is the missionof the ride that is most fulfilling.

The ride is an amazing event.It gives me, personally, the abilityto combine something I love, bik-ing, with contributing to thegreater good in a very meaningfulway; we are providing opportuni-ties for all young people, he said.

Nearly a quarter of the na-tions youth live in poverty, whichis a statistic Quinn referred to asa national disgrace.

A place like Anchor Houseisnt going to solve the entireproblem of child poverty, but it

can make a difference in the livesof some kids and move the needlea little bit toward the good, hesaid.

His main advice to anyone con-sidering participating in a futureride is:

You can do this ride. Quinnsaid anyone who supports An-chor Houses mission could com-plete the ride, regardless of skilllevel, age or physical fitness. He

said it is important to work up todoing an average of 70 miles perday, but with the wide range ofparticipants, it is clear that any-one who sets their mind to it iswelcome and supported.

Some people call it summercamp for adults, but theres a realshared sense of purpose.

All riders know that whatevertheir personal motivation or goalis, were keenly aware that ourcollective purpose is to make adifference in the lives of thesekids, he said.

This years ride raised $517,000,without the addition of promiseddonations. This is about $1,000more than last years end-of-ridetotal.

Municipal taxes to remain flat from last yearBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

Tax bills were sent the week ofJuly 14, and Princeton residentsshould be pleased to find that 2014municipal taxes have remainedflat.

According to a newsletter sentfrom the Citizens Finance Advi-sory Committee along with taxbills, the feat comes largely as aresult of savings from consolida-

tion.There has not been a munici-

pal tax increase in Princetonsince 2010.

School and county taxes haveboth been steadily increasing,

causing the overall property taxpaid by residents to rise.

According to the newsletter, foran average Princeton home val-ued at $795,000, the overall tax billwill increase $430 this year.School taxes increased by 2 per-cent and county taxes increasedby 5.4 percent, which accounts forthe increase in the total bill.

This years tax bill will allocate48 percent to Princeton PublicSchools, 29 percent to Mercer

County, 21 percent to the Munici-pality of Princeton, 1 percent formunicipal open space, and anoth-er 1 percent for county openspace.

Mayor Liz Lempert mentioned

a one-stop call center in her letteraccompanying the newsletter.The call center will be a conven-ient way for residents to requestcopies of important documents,report any municipal issues orhave a question answered by astaff member. The one-stop callcenter can be reached at (609) 924-4141.

Additionally, Lempert unveiledplans for a new app, which will bea companion to the call center. In-

quiries from the public willbe able to be submitted at anytime.

This streamlined process ofresponding to requests will helpyou get the most out of your gov-

ernment, Lemperts letter read.Municipal taxes have been

lower since the consolidation ofPrinceton Borough and PrincetonTownship last year.

The total number of govern-ment employees was reducedfrom 235 in 2011 to 208 in 2014,which allowed Princeton to lowerits municipal tax rate for the firsttime in many decades, the let-ter read.

The letter emphasized the per-

manence of the consolidationsavings, explaining that savingswill grow in 2014 because of thefull-year salary savings from staffwho departed during 2013.

More consolidation savings are

predicted in coming years due tothe balancing out of top-heavysalary structures of some de-partments.

The largest source of revenuefor the municipality this yearcomes from property taxes, allot-ting for 52 percent, and the largestpiece of the $59.3 million total ap-propriations is for governmentand administration, which ac-counts for 24 percent.

hospital site, Yanuzzi Corpora-tion, would continue to removeasbestos until the middle of Au-gust.

The asbestos is double-bagged,and secured in a storage area in-side the hospital before it isloaded into sealed containers andtransported offsite for proper dis-posal.

So far, Yanuzzi Corporation has

removed 18 containers of as-bestos.

In an update issued by thetownship, it was reported that an

area of soil at the site underwenttwo rounds of testing and wasfound to have excess concentra-tions of benzo(a)pyrene than al-lowed by the Department of Envi-ronmental Protection. The areawas near two oil tanks that hadbeen removed.

The former tanks contamina-tion is kind of routine. They haveto remove any soil that shows lev-els of benzo(a)pyrene, and what-ever area has exceeded the limits,it all has to be removed. One tankhad leaked very minimally, andnow they are putting a monitor-ing well in place to ensure that in

the future leakage is not anissue, West said.

On July 19, a crane removed anemergency generator on the sec-

ond floor of the former emer-gency room.

West said the town has not hadany issues with the demolitioncompany so far.

Once the litigation is resolvedand they start demoing the build-ing, we are not anticipating anybig issues. Any time youre doingdemo work in close proximity toresidents, youre concerned withdust and contaminants, that sortof thing, but so far the companyhas been very good to work withand very professional, he said.

Every parent needs to knowabout Common Core standards

Princeton public schools have officially

aligned their curriculums to the CommonCore State Standards. Here is what everyparent needs to know about Common CoreState Standards and what it means for yourchild.

1.) The Common Core heavily empha-

sizes critical thinking skills.In math, the easiest way to understand

Common Core applications is by looking atword problems. The implementation of theCommon Core means students even in

math will need to comprehend problemsand translate them into using particularmathematical skills.

While public school curriculums meanwell, they are often unable to provideenough practice for word problems. Be-

cause students concentrate mostly on cal-culations, their comprehension and abilityto translate what they read into algebraicsymbols and expressions are often weak.Here are a few examples:

Ten more than x: x + 10 A number added to 5: 5 + x Five times the difference of a number

and 4: 5(x 4)

please see LETTER, page 11

Next week, on Monday, Aug. 4 to

be precise, our company is cel-

ebrating its 10-year anniver-

sary. Ten years ago on that date, we

published the first newspaper in the

companys history The Haddonfield

Sun.

Ten years later, we publish 10 news-

papers each week, covering the towns

of Haddonfield, Moorestown, Cherry

Hill, Voorhees, Marlton, Medford, Mt.

Laurel, Tabernacle, Shamong and

Princeton. Weve grown a lot over the

last 10 years, but we havent lost sight

of our roots.

On Monday, when we turn the Big

One Zero, well be hosting a group ofour employees, customers, business

partners and community leaders who

helped make these 10 years so special

for us. Jack Tarditi, a leader in the

local community, will be the keynote

speaker.

The celebration at the Woodcrest

Country Club in Cherry Hill will in-

clude all the great things that every

party needs good food, good drinks, a

good atmosphere, a good speaker, good

conversation and good, classic silentauction.

But what will make it extra special

and what were most excited about is

the good that our 10-year anniversary

celebration will help kick off.

As part of the celebration, we are

proud to announce the start of the Sun

newspapers Ray of Hope founda-

tion. Under the umbrella of the SouthJersey Foundation, the Ray of Hope

will raise money to give back to the

local communities we cover.

Back in the day, when we were a

much smaller company, we ran an an-

nual contest called the Ray of Hope.

Readers would submit short essays

nominating a local group, organiza-

tion, Little League team, PTA, Girl

Scout troop and others who were most

deserving of a monetary award. We

published all these essays, and let our

readers vote to select the winner. And

we gave that winner $500.

The Ray of Hope foundation we are

starting will help us get back to our

roots of giving back in a tangible way

to the communities that have support-

ed us and helped us grow over these

last 10 years. And this time, were look-

ing to make a bigger impact than just

$500 to one group each year.

Our party on Monday will be the

first fundraiser in our ongoing effort to

give back. Well have other ways that

well raise money with your help

in the coming months.

At the end of the day, though, wherewell need your help the most is telling

us which local groups deserve the fi-

nancial aid. As we start to build a big-

ger and bigger fund, well run similar

contests to our original Ray of Hope to

help decide which organizations are

most deserving. And then well make a

contribution.

We cant wait to start, and were hop-

ing youll help us help those who do the

most in our communities.

in our opinion

In language arts, students willbe tested in critical thinkingskills starting at a much youngerage. Critical thinking, often re-served for older grades in highschool as well as standardizedtests such as the SAT, will be re-

quired of younger students.For example, a student may betested on the difference betweenthe words approval and re-spect.

Most students know the defini-tions of these words, but theycannot explain the difference be-tween the two. Moreover, if pre-sented with these two choices ona test, they often get the questionwrong, even though they knowthe definitions.

These inference and critical

thinking skills will continue to betested with the advent of the 2016Redesigned SAT. In fact, the presi-dent of the College Board, DavidColeman, was instrumental increating and implementing theCommon Core State Standardsnationwide.

2.) Debate is still raging overCommon Core.

The Common Core has beenfraught with controversy. Despitepoliticians bickering over theirimplementation, some states arewell into the process of teachingthem. Forty-six states and Wash-ington, D.C., have already imple-mented some form of the Com-mon Core, including New Jersey.

The political debate over Com-mon Core is whether educationalreform should be made on thestate level rather than imposed byfederal government. PresidentObamas embrace of CommonCore has served as a catalyst forpolitical divides over the issue.

This leads to the next point:3.) Public schools are still

preparing for the Common Core.Only 10 states report that 75

percent or more teachers receivedprofessional development to ad-

just to the Common Core. Freezesin state funding have negativelyaffected CCSS implementation.Twenty states report K-12 funding

decreases, according to the Cen-ter on Education Policy.

Twelve of these states reportedthat these reductions led to scal-ing back Common Core efforts.States also reported that their ed-ucation agencies are strugglingwith capacity. Only one-quarter ofall states surveyed reported theyhad enough staff to support im-plementation.

Thirty-two states cite troubleconnecting the standards to a

new wave of teachers and princi-pals.4.) You must take action on be-

half of your child.Students are experiencing

major educational reform. En-richment programs can ease thetransition and build up founda-tional skills. This enables stu-dents to get ahead of the curve.

In the least, parents can sup-port their childs education by ac-tively encouraging them to read,practice and engage in conversa-

tion with what he or she is learn-ing.

This is the first Bruckner sym-phony to be undertaken by thePSO under the deft leadership ofMilanov.

The Sunday, Nov. 2 Edward T.Cone concert Classically Russ-ian includes the talented pianistParemski performingTchaikovskys Piano ConcertoNo. 1 in B-flat Major.

The third concert of the serieson Sunday, Jan. 18, ScenicRhythms, features guitarist Be-lini performing Joaqun Rodri-gos Concierto de Aranjuez. Belin-i is no stranger to the PSO as heperformed with virtuoso clar-inetist Jos Franch-Ballester at aSpanish-themed PSO event in2013, which showcased his dexter-ous classical guitar playing. Alsoon the program is OttorinoRespighis Trittico Botticelliano,which pays homage to three icon-ic paintings by the Italian artistSandro Botticelli.

According to a release from an-

imal rights organization PETA, abrave whistleblower tipped itoff to mistreatment of at leastone marmoset monkey in a fed-erally funded Princeton Universi-ty laboratory. The accusation de-tails an incident in which em-ployees placed at least one mar-moset monkey in a small plasticferret exercise ball and rolled theball through the corridors of the

laboratory to torment the terri-fied monkey for their own amuse-ment.

According to PETA, mar-

mosets are small, fragile primateswho are very easily stressed bybeing handled.

We take any and all allega-tions of mistreatment seriouslyand are committed to the careand welfare of animals. In caseswhere concerns are raised, we ad-dress all concerns swiftly andthoroughly. We are aware of theincident and we are taking actionto fully understand the circum-stances surrounding the incidentand to make sure it does not hap-pen again, said Martin Mbugua,spokesman for the university,said in an email.

Mbugua noted that unan-nounced inspection visits by theUSDA's Animal and Plant HealthInspection Service since Novem-ber 2011 have not found any non-compliant items.

PETA filed two separate com-plaints against the university tothe National Institutes of Healthand the U.S. Department of Agri-

culture on Monday, July 21. Theincident in question allegedlytook place in June in the laborato-ry of psychology professor Asif

Ghazanfar. PETAs complaint doc-uments include emails sent byGhazanfar to laboratory mem-bers reminding them to treat ani-

mals with respect.

Shade tree protectionordinance passed

Princeton Council passed anordinance last week requiringresidents to pay for a $25 permitbefore cutting down trees on theirproperty, among other provisions.Council members explained atthe meeting that they felt thistype of requirement was neces-sary in the aftermath of many se-vere storms, which have damageda significant number of trees.

The tree protection ordinancewill require anyone to seek a per-mit to cut down the following:trees with a diameter greaterthan eight inches measured at apoint four-and-a-half feet off theground; ornamental or evergreentrees 10 feet or taller; trees whosecanopy extends over a publicright-of-way, and specimen or sig-nificant trees. Permits will be is-

sued per property, not per tree.The Princeton Shade Commis-sion had been working towardpassing the ordinance since 2013.The commission feels that pre-serving trees ensures they pro-vide shade, filter the air and in-crease the aesthetics of the com-munity.

Although it is not a require-ment of the ordinance, the coun-

cil has said it would like to seeproperty owners replace trees ona one-to-one scale. The depart-ment of public works will enforce

the new ordinance.

University professorto fight theft chargesJohn Mulvey, the 67-year-old

Princeton professor charged withthe theft of lawn signs for a localcomputer repair business, hashired a lawyer to fight thecharges. The case has beenmoved to the Superior Court.

Mulvey is a professor of opera-tions research and financial engi-neering. He is also a foundingmember of the Bendheim Centerfor Finance. The court date is not

yet scheduled.

Cherry Valley Roadto see upgrades

Princeton and Montgomerytown officials met July 16 to dis-cuss the treacherous road. Theproposed plan includes a recon-struction and widening of theroadway between Cherry HillRoad and Jeffersons Curve.

The area of the road is sur-rounded by wetlands, and the mu-

nicipalities will need to procurepermits from the Department ofEnvironmental Protection andthe Delaware and Raritan CanalCommission before proceeding.

The project is still in the pre-liminary planning phase, and isnot projected to begin until 2016.The road has been a long-timesource of dangerous conditionsfor drivers, especially in poorweather conditions. Police fromboth municipalities have also

said the current road layout withditches on either side makes itdifficult to conduct traffic stopssafely, as drivers have a hard timefinding an area on which to pullover.

Councilwoman Jenny Cru-miller said there are difficultiesfacing the Advisory Planning Dis-tricts Task Force in regard to fig-uring out how advisory planningdistricts would best function.

Most recently, the task force is-sued a recommendation on July 8to the mayor and council for themunicipality to adopt a Neighbor-hood Planning Program that willimprove transparency, educa-tion and communication regard-ing the land use planning processas well as to ensure that residents

have a voice in the planning anddevelopment of their neighbor-hood. The recommendation in-cludes a list of components to beincluded in the program, and canbe found on the municipal web-site.

The June 22, 2011, report of of-ficial recommendations by theconsolidation commission includ-ed a recommendation for thegoverning bodies to develop aframework for implementation ofadvisory planning districts in theconsolidated municipality.

The task force was then formedto carry out the specific recom-mendation, and is still in the pre-liminary planning stages. Themost recent report said the taskforce considered various ideasfor geographically defined adviso-ry districts, both with and with-

out a leadership structure, andwe considered empowering exist-ing neighborhood groups withformal status.

However, the task force foundfatal flaws and serious obstaclesas a result of those proposals.

It sounded like a good idea,but we struggled with it becausewho would decide what a neigh-borhood is? And who would over-see the neighborhoods? Cru-miller asked.

The creation of a district hasthe potential to strengthen theneighborhood voice when there isconsensus within that district,but when there is division, it pro-vides no clear advantages andcould exacerbate conflict within aneighborhood, the update reads.

The task force has expressed adesire to fulfill the commissions

recommendations based on resi-dents fear of losing their voicesin a larger town, mainly in re-gard to the planning and land usedevelopment process. The taskforce is still investigating everyoption available to alleviate thisissue.

This is still evolving, Cru-miller said. I want to assure resi-dents that we still havent fin-ished our work.

She added the task force hopesto better publicize future meet-ings, and that it supports existingneighborhood groups.

Many residents feel the impor-tance of advisory planning dis-tricts, such as Daniel Harris, aPrinceton resident who expressedhis thoughts at the July 14 worksession.

Ive usually found the plan-ning office to be tremendouslyoverworked, often rushed andoften unable to get to citizen re-quests until later. I make this ob-

servation as someone who hasbeen involved in three citizenmovements since 2007, he said.

Harris urged council to consid-er adding to its staff.

The working document will beup for discussion and input fromthe public on Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. inthe community room to gatherfeedback for the NeighborhoodPlanning Program.
