Look at all the fishes! AvalonBay

set to begindemolition

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

Demolition at the AvalonBaysite is slated to begin Sep. 4. Thedeveloper is hosting a neighbor-hood meeting scheduled for Sept.3 at 6:30 p.m. in the main meetingroom of the municipal buildingat 400 Witherspoon St. to discussthe demolition process at the for-mer hospital site.

The meeting is open to allneighborhood residents and willallow the opportunity for manyquestions to be answered.

According to head of engineer-ing Bob Kiser, the demolition willbegin with the smaller structuresnear the parking garage, with theentire process taking about fourmonths.

The demolition go-ahead

comes as a result of the town andAvalonBays agreement thatleaves the town with more envi-ronmental testing and precau-tions than would have been re-quired by state law alone.

Despite the gain for the town,many residents remain doubtfulof the demolition process andAvalonBay.

At the Aug. 25 municipal meet-ing, resident Paul Driscoll read a

letter signed by 18 citizens citingconcerns over the settlement. Theletter focused on a concern of res-idents who may have a lack of re-sources if they felt the need to suethe developer, as well as concernsof school children exposed to thedemolition walking to and fromschool.

Residents speak out against Michael Browns deathBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

No Justice, No Peace! is achant being heard across Ameri-ca following the death of un-armed, black 18-year-old MichaelBrown in Ferguson, Mo. On Aug.23, more than 100 Princeton resi-dents joined the movement.

Resident Daniel Harris, profes-sor emeritus of English and Jew-ish Studies at Rutgers University,led the committee that spearhead-ed the event.

Mike Browns death was one

of a whole string that Ive knownabout since my mother pointedout to me the death of EmmettTill in the early 1950s. I was awarefrom a very young age of radicalracist discrimination going backfor ages. It seemed obvious for methat I at least needed to say some-thing, Harris said.

Harris was also the leader ofPeople for Princeton Ridgeagainst what became Copper-wood in an amicable resolutionwith the former Princeton Town-ship and Hillier developers thatresulted in 17 acres of donatedopen space in August 2012.

Harris, along with fellow resi-dents Linda Oppenheim, JohnHeilner, Wilma Soloman, MinnieCraig and Shirley Satterfield,were what he called the obviouspeople to contact for the rainbowcoalition we wanted.

The six co-activists decided torally.

We felt we needed it to happen

sooner rather than later at therisk of losing emotional impe-tus, he said. We all felt a terri-

ble grief, outrage and a kind ofdoom that American history wasonce again repeating itself. It istime for a mandatory, renewed ef-fort. It is an ethical and social im-perative.

Harris spread around word ofthe event through contactingspeakers and disseminatingemails throughout the communi-ty. Oppenheim and Soloman wereresponsible for putting up postersdowntown and in the shoppingcenter.

None of us were happy seeingin the general press pictures of

Ferguson, Missouri, showingonly black protesters and mourn-ers. It was cause for alienation

and powerlessness, and motivatedus to display solidarity, he said.

Harris explained that althoughBrowns death occurred far away,Princeton still has a responsibili-ty to have its collective voiceheard.

Even in tiny Princeton, NewJersey, thousands of miles away,we needed to do it for ourselvesand wake up in Princeton. Weneeded to let everyone know thatwe would not let what was hap-pening in our culture, even allthose miles away, Harris said.

He explained that the group

had a lot of cooperation fromMayor Liz Lempert, the police de-partment, as well as Council Pres-

ident Bernie Miller and Council-man Lance Liverman.

For a pre-Labor Day weekend,we were thrilled with the turnout(which he estimated at between125 and 150 people). It was a greatrainbow, he said.

We were trying to bring asense of responsibility to con-sciousness and give it as wide acirculation as possible.

The event began with a marchfrom Palmer Square, down Nas-sau Street and WitherspoonStreet, to Hinds Plaza wherespeakers talked to the crowd.

Harris led the introduction,reading a message from Lempertand Liverman in support of the

event.When something awful hap-

pens to one of us, it happens to usall, the joint statement read.

Speakers included Rev. BobMoore, executive director of theCoalition for Peace Action; AlyceBush from Witherspoon Presbyte-rian Church; Rev. CarltonBranscomb, senior pastor at FirstBaptist Church in Princeton;Joseph Hawes, a senior at Prince-ton High School; Patricia Fernan-dez-Kelly, professor of sociologyat Princeton University; DuncanHarrison of Trenton City Coun-

cil; Oppenheim; Rev. Tike Mad-den, pulpit staff member at Mt.Pisgah AME Methodist Churchin Princeton; Lew Maltby, civilrights attorney formerly withACLU; and a conclusion fromHarris.

Here we stand, in solidaritywith the people in Ferguson whogrieve Mike Browns death andcry for justice. We are a rainbowprotest: white and cream, pink-toned, as well as dusky, yellowand brown. Skin color is notrace, but the idea of race per-sists to harm us, Harris said atHinds Plaza.

Harris explained that he feels anational outcry is called for re-gardless of the verdict of officerDarren Wilson.

This peaceful march is notabout placing blame or takingsides. It is a caring moment toshow respect for one of Americaschildren who has been killed,Heilner said during his speech,

quoting a letter written by resi-dent and fellow organizer, Satter-field.

PD makes historical first new hires of officersBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

The Princeton Police Depart-ment has hired the first new offi-cers since the consolidation ofthe former Princeton Boroughand Princeton Township Dashawn J. Cribb, 25, and Donald

S. Mathews, 36.At a press conference on Aug.

25, Chief Nicholas Sutter called

the hires historical.Its historical because these

will be the first two hires of theconsolidated department. Its anice step forward for us, he said.

Last year, the department set

out on what Sutter called an ex-tensive recruitment process.Prospective officers were re-

quired to take a written exam, aphysical fitness exam and partici-pate in a series of interviews.Cribb and Mathews each wentthrough four rounds of inter-views in addition to background

checks.Sutter said some of the older

members of the department look

at the hires as the beginning of alegacy.

They represent a very brightfuture for our department, hesaid.

Sutter explained that the de-

partment values the two hiresprofessionally and personally di-verse backgrounds.

Were excited. They bring di-verse backgrounds and a diversi-ty of experience, Mayor LizLempert said.

New Jerseys trial run if you

can call it that with red light

cameras didnt go so well. For

drivers who ran red lights, it went

swimmingly, but for the state not so

much.

Last week, word came down that

some drivers who were caught on cam-

era running red lights were never in-

formed of the fines they faced because

of a technical glitch in the system. The

state Judiciary, as a result, asked local

courts to throw out the infractions all

17,000 of them.

In New Jersey, red light camera in-

fractions result in an $85 fine, but no

points on a drivers license. At $85 apop, thats $1,445,000 in lost revenue, all

because of a technical glitch from a

company that supposedly specializes

in this.

State lawmakers are angry, and

rightfully so.

Said Assemblyman Declan OScan-

lon, of Monmouth County: These

companies incessantly tout the sup-

posed accuracy and consistency of

their systems when the only thing

consistent about the camera company

representatives is their blatant misrep-

resentation of what the equipment

does and how accurately it does it.

People make mistakes, but this is abig mistake by American Traffic Solu-

tions, which runs half of the states in-

tersections with red light cameras.

Lets just switch to the other compa-

ny that runs our red light cameras,

you might say. Well, the CEO of that

other company, Redflex, was just in-

dicted on federal corruption charges

for allegedly bribing Chicago officials.

Not to mention, a former Redflex exec-

utive also accused the company of pay-

ing bribes to government officials in 13

states, including New Jersey.

Seems to us that these red light cam-

eras, or at least the companies that

were hired to run them, need to be re-

moved, or at least replaced. Theres no

sense in paying for a service thats ei-

ther ineffective or, worse, possibly ob-

tained through illegal means.

We in New Jersey do enough wrong

ourselves that we dont need an outside

company to come in and screw things

up for us; were plenty good at that our-selves, thank you very much.

The contract for red light cameras

expires in December, and it would be

best if the state didnt renew the agree-

ment, not until it studies its full results

and finds a new company or two to pro-

vide the service.

in our opinion

State should red light camerasCorruption, technical glitches cause companies to fall short

Morrison aims to make theMontessori way a way of life

By ERICA CHAYESThe Sun

A 24-year Montessori teacherfor elementary and middleschool, administrator, middleschool director and teacher of

teachers, Michelle Morrison iswell suited for her recent careeradvancement. Beyond, and per-haps more significant than, herprofessional qualifications is herembodiment of Maria Montes-soris pedagogy, both in and out ofschool.

In her new position as Prince-ton Montessoris new head ofschool, Morrison plays a key role

in the administrative and busi-ness side of school affairs. Thereis some debate, Morrison said,that the head of school shouldhave a business background in-stead of a teaching one. Morri-son, however, whose complete

adoration for her workplaceshines from her light eyes, feelsthe next generations of Montes-sori business leaders shouldcome from a Montessori back-ground.

We should handle business re-lations with the Montessori ap-proach, she said.

A large part of this approach isthe interconnectedness that

Montessori teachings can lend toother facets of life. For example,Montessori schools preface sec-ondary visual conception experi-ences (symbolic) with primary vi-sual conceptual experiences (con-crete, tangible) to help children

not only grasp difficult conceptssuch as pi early on, but to be ableto comprehend it, explore it andapply it to many other aspects ofmathematics. This approach isalso referred to as the cosmic ed-ucation and aims to breathe lifeinto students and not suck it out,Morrison says.

Superintendent SteveCochrane reflected on his firstday as the superintendent ofPrinceton Public Schools duringhis presentation at the Aug. 25council meeting.

Some of you may recall Istarted on Jan. 2, and on Jan. 3was the first of 11 major snow-storms, he said. He thanked Po-lice Chief Nick Sutter and the de-

partment of public works forbeing constantly available to dis-cuss road conditions.

Mayor Liz Lempert washappy to have a more holisticdiscussion at the presentation,since typically the talk wouldhave been budgetary in nature.With November elections, a budg-et discussion was not necessary.

One of the greatest and happi-est surprises I had as the new su-perintendent was the discovery ofthe number of community part-

ners who really care deeply aboutthe work we are doing to educatethe children in this community,Cochrane said.

During Cochranes presenta-tion, he focused on points of part-nership within the community.He discussed the police depart-ments presence in the schoolsspeaking with children about on-line safety.

He said looking to the future,

the district-wide wellness com-

mittee would be focusing on anumber of varying wellness is-sues including drug and alcoholuse. In partnership with therecreation department, there is afocus on sharing athletic fields,which Cochrane mentioned arein short supply. Additionally, hehopes for a shared philosophy ofcoaching encompassing sharedexpectations and best practices.With these in place, it will make iteasier for children to transition

from participants in recreationalprograms to student athletes.Cochrane expressed his desire

to work with the engineering de-partment to put in for a grant toobtain traffic signals. He said stu-dents walking to middle schoolhave a difficult time due to traffic,and some students live just on thetwo-mile bus threshold and areforced to walk very long distancesto and from school, sometimes inthe dark. Additionally, he wantsto look into the hazardous bus

routes, which have not been eval-uated in more than twodecades.

The schools will see an in-creased emphasis on sustainabili-ty, an initiative that has beendemonstrated through the hiringof Nutri-Serve, the new food serv-ice provider with a farm-to-tableapproach. New roofs will be in-stalled on some schools to sup-port the potential infrastructure

of solar paneling in the future.

A point Cochrane was intenton was the concept of electronicaccess for all. He explained thatmany Princeton students are at adisadvantage due to a lack of elec-tronic and Internet access. Of the12 percent of Princeton studentsreceiving free or reduced lunch,Cochrane estimates that nearlyhalf of them do not have access toemail or computers at home.

He explained this lack of ac-cess limits the ability of the

school district to communicate tofamilies, and for parents to checkgrades and students to checkhomework.

In a day and age when com-puters are being more and moreintegrated, for a student withoutelectronic access, they fall fartherand farther behind, he said.

He said the district is in theprocess of brainstor ming ways tocreate electronic access for all.

If anyone can provide that op-portunity for access for all, it is

Princeton, he said.Cochrane said the board is

eager to invite the community tojoin in strategic planning. Dateswill be decided on and postedpublicly to allow the communityto ask the question what do wewant for our kids?

It is a process that sets the vi-sion and mission for our kids fiveyears into the future, and it giveslegs to that vision, he said.

Superintendent looks forward to focuson wellness, access and partnership

It remains to be seen who willpay in the event that someone be-comes ill, Driscoll read.

According to Mayor Liz Lem-pert, taking the vote (to settle)was not something that anybodyrelished doing. Sometimes, weare bound by constraints that arenot our choice.

Councilwoman Jenny Cru-miller expressed her approval ofthe deal the town is left with.

I think we ended up in an OKplace. I dont want to give the im-pression that there is some big en-vironmental risk out there thatwe are ignoring, she said.

Councilwoman Heather

Howard responded to Driscollsletter by thanking residents fortheir heavy involvement through-out the process.

If it were not for communityinvolvement, we probably wouldnot have hired an outside expert.We have ended up in a much bet-ter place than state law wouldhave allowed us, Howard said.

Following the four-month dem-olition, the site will be turnedinto a 280-unit apartment com-plex that will include 56 afford-able units.

Barbara Blumenthal from thePrinceton Ridge Coalition gavecouncil an update on the group atthe Aug. 25 council meeting, call-ing PRC the neighborhood groupthat has been instrumental infighting for a safer and less damag-ing plan in regard to WilliamsCompanys proposal for an exten-sion of its natural gas pipeline.

Blumenthal explained that interms of the environmental is-sues on the ridge, everybodyknows about the issues, but thata recent change is the group hiredan outside professional to dothreatened and endangeredspecies studies, citing the BardOwl and Red-Shouldered Hawk asexamples.

There is good data now that

validates the area as what theycall exceptional value wet-lands, she said.

The group is in the process ofassembling its comments to sub-mit to the Federal Energy Regula-tory Commission by Sept. 10 inregard to its environmental as-sessment findings of no signifi-cant impact for Williams Co.sproposal.

The group will hire PrincetonHydro to work on environmentalcomments, and an outside safetyengineer is helping supplementthe safety aspect.

Blumenthal explained that thegroup has a lot of work to do be-tween now and Sept. 10. Thecomments submitted are excep-tionally crucial because, afterSept. 10, there will be no more op-portunity to put information onthe record.

According to Blumenthal, afterthe deadline, we cannot raise a

new issue that has not alreadybeen raised on the docket. Sheattributed that provision to whythe current work being done is soimportant, saying everythingthat even might be relevant has tobe submitted.

In discussing the assessment,she said in some ways it was notsurprising.

The group has never seenFERC conduct an assessment inwhich it found significant im-pact.

They just dont do it, shesaid.

An element of the process Blu-menthal found quite disturbingwas FERCs omission of even de-bating the experts findings men-tioned in the PRCs reports.

It is really distressing to seethat what FERC is accustomed tois having communities providinginput but not being able to engagein a meaningful discussion,which is what we think we are ca-

pable of. They are not preparedfor that, she said.She said FERC tends to solely

put weight on what Williams Co.says.

For what we say, they dont

even bother to debate it; they justignore it, which is really quitedisturbing, she said.

Blumenthal said the answer tothe groups concerns comes inthe form of horizontal directionaldrilling, the alternative option,that in the grand scheme ofthings is not expensive and ad-dresses the safety and environ-mental issues.

The group has predicted thatthe most likely way to have hori-zontal directional drilling ap-proved would not be from FERCbut from the Department of Envi-ronmental Protection.

The DEP needs to issue twovital permits for the project tomove forward, which have not yetbeen applied for. In the meantime,Blumenthal said she and herteam are putting most of their ef-fort in working with DEP. Oncethe permit applications are filedwith DEP, much more data will

become available to FERC thatwas not accessible when its as-sessments were done.

She said the DEP holds a greatdeal of power in the process, andit will be able to do what theyfeel is appropriate. They do get in-volved and make some changesalong the way.

Blumenthal said while thegroup does not formally opposethe pipeline in general, there is aprocess in place when it goesthrough environmentally-sensi-

tive areas to look for alterna-tives.

Williams understands theconcerns expressed with regardto the safe installation of theTransco pipeline and minimizingenvironmental impacts duringconstruction. We believe theFERCs environmental assess-ment confirms our commitmentto constructing and operatingthis pipeline project in a safe, en-vironmentally-sensitive manner

so that we can deliver much-need-ed additional natural gas supplyto this region, Chris Stockton,Williams Co.s representative,said in an email in response to theassessment.

Michelle Morrison shows how Princeton Montessori embraces the passions of both students and facultymembers. Morrison, who loves the outdoors, hiking, biking and archery, contributed an archery range aswell as an Outward Bound program for her students. Between business, administrative work and havingfun leading students, Morrison will never stop being hands on as the new head of school.

Morrisons dream as head ofschool is to challenge adults teachers, administrators andeven parents to adapt theMontessori way in acting. Shesays how adults should be able toresolve conflict the ways so manyof her students do: with compas-sion, strength and reflection.Montessori eighth graders havebeen found to have a very calm

entry into high school, a transi-tion that many would assume tostir some internal conflicts com-ing from a small, independent

school, she said. Their highschool teachers often note thatthey are comfortable in their own

skin, thoughtful and reflectiveabout their friendships, and inde-pendent and confident abouttheir work.

Much of these well-developedsocial skills are due to the under-lying middle school theme of,who am I and how do I fit intothe larger world, another con-nection in the cosmic learningprocess, Morrison said. Adults,who are often driven by anxiety,sometimes lose this kind of per-

spective, Morrison says.Those with Montessori train-ing classes that Morrison hasled and will continue to lead for

upcoming educators under-stand the preliminary philosophythat Morrison hopes to assure

every parent with: Your childwill find their way in the world.You are looking to create ahuman that is happy with theirself and will find a passion thatwill help them make a living.

The Montessori approach isnot about bureaucracy or SATs orIvy League or making six figures.It is about sharing enthusiasmof truths and passion and pat-terns of content, said Morrison,who is making it her priority to

ensure that every individual inevery walk of business, adminis-trative and educational relationsshares this kind of enthusiasm.

Art, oxen, communitybuilding: Joann Lee Kim

paints an optimistic visionBy ERICA CHAYES

The Sun

Joann Lee Kim, Princeton resi-dent and artist, is dedicated tobringing the community togetherwith collaborative art.

I make art to challenge andconnect with myself, to challengeand connect with the viewer, towrestle with issues that hurt anddivide us, and to envision some-thing better, Kim said.

It is just the beginning of hercareer as a professional artist, butKim feels Princeton is the rightplace to be as she embarks onmentally and visually affectingher community.

Upon moving to Princeton one

year ago almost to the day, Kimdecided to pursue her artistry fulltime.

Princeton has been a great re-ceiver to me as an artist, Kim ex-plained. It is connected to Phillyand New York and is a great placeto seclude oneself and really diveinto art.

She went on to say how Prince-ton would always represent hercommitment to becoming anartist, the place where she arose.

Kim has been working primari-

ly as a teaching artist thats mycapacity when I work withgroups, she says. I facilitateprocesses where groups can cometogether and create art, reflectand demonstrate how people cancome together to make the com-munity a better place.

Ideas flowing and imagination,Kim believes, are better for pro-ductivity and creativity. With ex-perience utilizing her methods atvarious schools, youth groups,

adult groups and conferences inand around Princeton, Kim pre-pares an activity, prompts a dia-logue and enjoys seeing her par-

Photography exhibitruns through Oct. 4

An exhibition of work by sixphotographers will explore thenature of photography by focus-ing on the medium's changing is-sues in a digital age. "Photogra-phy: Before & After," presented bythe Lewis Center for the Arts' Pro-gram in Visual Arts at PrincetonUniversity, runs Sept. 17 throughOct. 4 at the Lucas Gallery at 185Nassau St. An opening receptionwill be held on Sept. 17 from 5:30to 7 p.m. The exhibition and re-ception are free and open to thepublic.

"Photography: Before & After"will particularly look at the timethat goes into setting up a photo-graph before the "click" of theshutter and the effort that goesinto managing the image after-ward. The exhibition presents sixdifferent case studies of howartists, all with ties to Princeton,negotiate these issues in theirwork: Princeton alumni LilyHealey and Carlos JimnezCahua, post-doctoral fellow SaraSadri, faculty member Deana

Lawson, Hodder Fellow MikoVeldkamp, and Princeton resi-dent Adam Ekberg.

Since its inception, photogra-phy has been a means of record-ing people and events through thecontrolled exposure of light-sen-sitive materials. In the mid-19thcentury it was done on sheets ofmetal and glass for posterity, as inthe Civil War images of MatthewBrady. At the turn of the last cen-tury, the camera was used to cap-

ture phenomena not visible to thenaked eye, as in the motion stud-ies of Eadweard Muybridge.

Judging by the work of manyphotographers today, digital tech-nologies and methods have large-

ly turned the decisive moment in-side out. Digital photography af-

fords artists the ability to see animage as soon as they have takenit and the ability to take hundredsat one time.

Carlos Jimnez Cahua gradu-ated in 2008 from Princeton witha degree in chemistry and a cer-tificate from the Program in Visu-al Arts.

Adam Ekberg is an artist andgraduate of the School of the ArtInstitute of Chicago who recentlymoved to the Princeton area. Ek-berg's photographs require theelaborate pre-arrangement ofsite-specific events that he matter-of-factly captures on camera.

Lily Healey is a 2013 Princetongraduate of the Department ofArt and Archeology who concen-trated in studio art. Healey ismesmerized with the virtual lifeand mutation of digital imagefiles, elusive "things" that inhabitour devices and get movedaround without ever beingtouched.

Deana Lawson is a full-time lec-turer at Princeton and a recentGuggenheim Fellow whose newwork entails photographing citiesin the American South and theAfrican continent that were pre-viously involved in the slavetrade, aided by research fundingfrom the Lewis Center.

For Lawson, photographsbegin with specific people in spe-cific places but do not become artuntil after a rigorous editingprocess.

Sara Sadri was a post-doctoralfellow in the School of Engineer-ing and Applied Science last year,where one of her research photo-graphs won top prize in theSchool's "Art of Science" competi-tion cosponsored by the LewisCenter. Trained as a hydro-engi-neer, the subject of Sadri's imagescan take moments or centuries toform the patterns that she cap-tures through her lens. LikeCahua, Sadri is a trained scientist

who has chosen the path of full-time artist and moved to Holly-wood, where she hopes to make acareer as a scientific documen-tary filmmaker.

Miko Veldkamp is a painter

currently living in Amsterdamand a 2014-15 Hodder Fellow, the

first studio artist to win this dis-tinguished award.

Veldkamp is consumed withdigital culture and his paintingsare a direct response to its speedand pervasiveness. Veldkampquestions what painting can do inthe face of such relentless imageproduction, which he answers byproceeding as if painting cancompete with photography as ameans to commemorate specialmoments, as in City Hall (2013), orthe everyday, as in Trailer (2012).

The Lucas Gallery is openweekdays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.For this exhibition the gallerywill also be open Saturdays, Sept.20, 27 and Oct. 4 from 10 a.m. to4:30 p.m.

This Saturday, Sept. 6, Prince-ton Tour Company owner MimiOmiecinski is kicking off her in-augural event, First CapitalPrinceton. She invites Princeton-ian families to join the revolution-ary hoopla in a tour throughoutPrinceton beginning at Morvenand ending at Yankee Doodle Tap

Room, where Washington himselftoasted the countrys recognizedindependence.

Tom Murphy, a recent graduateof the Rutgers Graduate School ofEducation and revolutionarywar savant, as Omiecinski callshim, will provide historical infor-mation throughout the tour.Omiecinski, an active member ofthe National Society of theDaughters of the Revolution whois a relative of 12 Revolutionary

War veterans and Declarationsigner George Ross, will lightenthings up with hilarious and sur-prisingly factual anecdotes.

Did you know, Omiecinski

said, drawing back the curtain ofinteresting evidences for a slightpreview to Saturdays tour, thatMarquis de Lafayette rolledthrough Princeton with a pet alli-gator and kept it in a bathtubwherever he went. Omiecinskiassured that there will be morefun stories about the alligator,among others. Perhaps a localfamily will find that their Prince-ton home housed a revolutionary

reptile.Most people dont know of

Princetons political impact dur-ing the American Revolution.Omiecinski specified some of theevents that led to Princeton beinga real hotbed for political activi-ty.

In 1783, she began, we wereno longer fighting. ContinentalCongress was down in Philadel-phia and was waiting on theTreaty of Paris, which upon re-

ceipt would mean the rest of theworld agreed we were a free na-tion.

Omiecinski went on to explainhow soldiers, often promisedmoney or land throughout thewar, were not being paid becausethere was no taxation system inplace.

It was the first time in theRevolution that there was a possi-ble mutiny, she said.

When congress heard word ofa small and likely violent groupcoming for them in Philadelphia,they quickly sought out a townthat was far enough away, a bitdifficult to get to and laid out tohouse the 22 congressmen. Thetown they chose was Princeton.

With Washington staying atRockhingham, his last wartimeheadquarters, on the Delawareand Raritan Canal, the congress-

men elected a temporary presi-dent to help run political affairs,explained Omiecinski. EliasBudinot, whose sister offered herhome now Morven Museum andGarden and friends homesaround Princeton to the congress-men during their stay. NassauHall, according to Omiecinski,was the biggest place in thecolony, so they established it astheir official meeting place. OnSept. 3, 1783, The Treaty of Paris

was delivered there. Princeton be-came the first capital the citythat holds the government andNassau Hall became the first capi-tol building.

With Princeton having suchclout in this countrys begin-nings, Omiecinski was ecstaticabout commemorating Prince-tons first capital and capitol witha family-fun tour through town.She hopes to host the event on thefirst Saturday of September year-ly and bring Princetonians to-

gether. Omiecinski is looking for-ward to making Princeton proudof its influence in the Revolution-ary period.

Philadelphia was a bigger rea-son for the season but in my opin-ion, Princeton was second inline, beamed Omiecinski.

The tour will be hosted Satur-day, Sept. 6 and is free for all whowant to attend. The PrincetonTour Company asks that atten-dees register by emailing

Omiecinski at [email protected]. This will ensurethere are enough surprises foreveryone and will also ensure dis-counts on various shops andrestaurants around town.

As Kim searched to extend her-self as an artist to the local scene,a friend pointed her in the direc-tion of The Stampede theHopewell Valley Arts Councilsoutdoor exhibit most Princetoni-ans have seen grazing around thetown borders.

Kim was selected to be one ofthe few Princeton artists to con-tribute to the project and created

an ox in the image of her prac-

tice.Kim understood that her hand-

painted oxen, Ox Populi, wouldbe seen by a lot of people in thecommunity. With this in mind,she wanted to make the embel-lished life-size ox personal to herand her work but also relatable tothe viewer.

In painting an image that isvery familiar sky, grass, silhou-ettes, said Kim, people see im-ages of themselves in the piece.She was also sure to make the sil-houettes distinct so as to repre-sent a diverse group. We can allwalk in the same direction andmake the community together,Kim asserted.

A large component of tackling

various issues together as a com-munity such as bullying orracism, for Kim, is prompting dia-logue and discussion, especiallywith youth.

She encourages individuals tolook at a solution to a social prob-lem and then create that solutiontogether. As a visual artist with amaster of science in conflictanalysis and resolution and abachelors in science, human andorganizational development andart studio, Kim likes to focus onthe visual aspect of producingsomething collectively.
