Trolley tourFestival of Trees on displayBy KATIE MORGAN

The Sun

The Morven Museum and Gar-dens annual Festival of Trees ex-hibit has become a holiday tradi-tion. The museums galleries arefilled with trees decorated bylocal businesses, institutions,non-profits and garden clubs.

This year, the Arts Council of Princeton has joined the list of organizations that decorated oneof the trees in the exhibit.

Liz Murray, education directorfor the Arts Council, said shechose the trees theme, based onthe biblical story of Noahs ark,in the fall.

I was trying to think of some-thing that kids would embraceand have fun with, Murray said.It seemed like animals was agood choice.

Murray said the Arts Councilstree is a true team effort. Partici-pants in the Arts Councils pro-grams ranging in age from 3 to 20years old contributed to the deco-

rations.We worked on it for the lastseveral months with our art out-reach groups, Murray said.Princeton Nursery School chil-dren made the dove tree-topper.Princeton Young Achievers madea wonderful array of more than30 plaster animals of all shapesand sizes, which are, of course, onthe tree in pairs. It was reallywonderful, and the kids spent a

good deal of time on it. This was acommitment over a number of weeks, and these kids really in-vested in what they embraced asa great activity.

The Arts Council hosts an ArtsExchange program every week

with kids from Homefront, aTrenton-based non-profit organi-zation that works to combathomelessness in Mercer County.

Every week, the kids arebused in for a creative project anda healthy dinner, Murray aid.

Over a few of the sessions in thefall, we had them learning thetechnique of felting, and theymade felted garland in blue thatlooks like water streaming

Town officials review goals, tasks for 2013By KATIE MORGAN

The Sun

As Princetons first year as aconsolidated municipality comesto a close, town officials havebegun reviewing a 20-page list of goals they set at the beginning of the year.

I think we learned a lot fromthat effort, Mayor Liz Lempertsaid. Its something I certainlywant to do again in 2014. I thinkCouncil found it useful as well.There are some good thingsabout it, and definitely some

changes were going to want tomake.

Lempert said she felt thatwhile the list of goals helpedcouncil prioritize tasks, many of the end goals were a little vague.

I think that list was a bit un-wieldy, Lempert said. Therewere more than 200 items on it.And some of them, in hindsight, Ithink are better defined as tasksas opposed to goals. So in 2014,well want to have that list bemore goal oriented.

The 2013 goal list was dividedinto 21 general categories. Thegoals were classified in order of priority under such categories as

emergency preparedness, police,fire and emergency services, fees

and ordinances, personnel andlabor, planning, zoning and rede-velopment, historic preservation,university relations and econom-ic development.

Some of the goals, such astree trimming to prepare forfuture storms, had clear objec-tives, while others were morevague.

Lempert said one objective forthe 2014 goal-setting sessionwould be to ensure that the itemson the list are attainable andclearly defined.

I think another lesson we

learned from this list is that whenwe have a goal or priority, it

should be something where itsclear when its done, Lempertsaid. So for instance, one of thegoals was combat global climatechange. I think that was toobroad. But there are pieces of things the municipality can bedoing to address that concern,and I think its more helpful forus when we set our goals to thinkabout how to list them in a waythat is actionable for 2014.

The Council will spend the lastweeks of 2014 tying up the looseends of this year and meetingwith other entities in preparation

for the start of 2014.Negotiations over Princeton

Universitys voluntary financialcontribution to the town for nextyear are set to begin in December,and Lempert said the Council hasbegun setting the calendar for2014 budget deliberations.

The Council will hold a specialsession to determine the list of goals and priorities for the townas a whole in 2014.

Im not sure if were going tobe able to have that goal-settingsession for 2014 in December,Lempert said. We have to meetwith so many other people andgroups.

It will likely be held in Janu-ary.

Public library receives grantto boost Stewardship Fund

By KATIE MORGANThe Sun

The Princeton Public Libraryannounced on Nov. 21 that it re-ceived a $100,000 donation fromPrinceton University to boost thelibrarys Stewardship Fund.

The Stewardship Fund waslaunched in October 2012 by a $1million challenge grant fromlongtime library supporter BettyWold Johnson, the widow of Robert Wood Johnson III and asupporter of many Princeton in-

stitutions, including McCarterTheatre Center and the ArtsCouncil of Princeton.

Betty Wold Johnson pledged$1 million as a challenge to thecommunity, Tim Quinn, directorof communications at the library,said. So if we could raise $1 mil-lion for stewardship, shed matchthat.

The Princeton University do-nation brings the total raised to$657,000, according to Quinn.

The money in the librarysStewardship Fund is designatedfor repairs and upkeep on theSands Library Building, whichhas been the librarys home since2004.

The fund is set up so that our

building is continuously re-freshed, Quinn said. The foun-dation has recognized that some-times its not so much mainte-nance, but a need for refreshmentthat isnt built into our budgets.

Quinn said the daily wear andtear on the building requires con-stant maintenance.

Almost 900,000 people comethrough the library every year,Quinn said. Thats a lot of peo-ple sitting in chairs, and a lot of trips across the carpet. We wantpeople to have the same experi-

ence they had when they firstcame in 10 years ago, and part of that means furniture that is com-fortable, inviting and clean, and afacility that continues to look re-freshed and doesnt start to lookworn.

In addition to regular mainte-nance, Quinn said the Steward-ship Fund would be used to sup-plement funds for projects to re-purpose spaces in the building.

The money allows us to trans-form spaces to meet the needs of the community, Quinn said.When we built the library in2004, and during the planningstages in the early 2000s, the roleof digital content, especially digi-tal book content, was still evolv-

ing to where it is now. Therewas still an emphasis on shelvingand on reference collections thathave now become largely outdat-ed.

Quinn said the area of the li-brary originally dedicated to ref-erence books would be looked atfor repurposing.

There is an area on the secondfloor that used to house the physi-cal reference collection, Quinnsaid. The books that were rele-vant in the last century have nowbeen largely replaced by electron-

ic databases. Thats an area thathas now been targeted for change.We removed all the shelving andrearranged the existing furni-ture, but the goal is to look at thatspace and figure out how it canbest serve the communi ty.

Quinn said Leslie Burger, thelibrarys executive di rector, wroteto Princeton University PresidentChristopher Eisgruber to ask fora contribution to the StewardshipFund.

We were delighted that rela-tively early in his tenure as presi-dent, he responded so readily,Quinn said. Theres an overallrecognition of the need here, andits a reflection of our stature as avital part of the community.

Festival of Trees ondisplay until Jan. 5

throughout the tree. It was a lotof fun.

Murray said she commendsMorven on its effort to go theextra mile for the underprivi-leged children who were a partof the project.

Morven will be opening upone evening for the Homefrontkids to get a special viewing of their tree, Murray said. It was

such a generous effort on Mor-vens part to acknowledge whatthese kids have contributed.Having our hard work displayedin the Festival of Trees reallygives recognition to the wonder-ful creativity of these youngpeople.

The Arts Councils Noahs

ark tree is just one of a numberof themed decorative trees thatwill be on display at Morventhrough Jan. 5. Other exhibitorsinclude Stony Brook GardenClub of Princeton, DogwoodGarden Club, Princeton Univer-sity Art Museum, PrincetonDoll and Toy Museum, VickiTrainer, Rutgers Master Gar-deners of Mercer County, Mc-Carter Theatre, Keris TreeFarm and Christmas Shop, Bar-bara L.

Eighth case of

meningitis diagnosedAn eighth student has been di-

agnosed in what the CDC hasdubbed an outbreak of menin-gitis at Princeton University. Inan email to students, CynthiaCherrey, vice president for cam-pus life, said the female studentdeveloped symptoms of the dis-ease on Nov. 20, and was trans-ported to a local hospital on Nov.21.

Health officials will be con-

ducting tests to determine if thislatest case is related to the sevencases of meningitis associatedwith the university since March,Cherrey said.

The previous seven cases werecaused by a particular strain of bacterial meningitis known asserotype B. Though all studentswho live in on-campus housingare required by state law to be im-munized against meningitis, thevaccine approved in the UnitedStates is ineffective againstserotype B.

The Centers for Disease Con-trol last week got special permis-sion from the Food and Drug Ad-ministration to import an Italian-made vaccine called Bexsero,which will be administered onthe university campus.

Students are scheduled to leavethe campus for winter break onDec. 13. The CDC has issued astatement saying that studentsshould not alter their travel plans

despite the outbreak.

Council sets crosswalkdesign standards

The Princeton Council passeda resolution on Nov. 25 determin-ing that the Continental, or in-ternational style of crosswalk,will be the town-wide standard.

This came up because of theconstruction project going on atVandeventer Avenue and MooreStreet, Mayor Liz Lempert saidwhen the resolution was intro-duced. Right now, if youre goingaround downtown, there are lotsof different kinds of crosswalks.Theres the international style,with the painted white stripes,

there are brick crosswalks andthen there are stamped concreteones. The idea here to is adopt astandard.

Anton Lahnston, chair of thetowns Traffic and Transporta-tion committee, gave a presenta-tion to Council at the Oct. 28 meet-ing on the committees recom-mendation that the adopted stan-dard be the Continental design.

Lempert said both the engi-neering department and the His-torical Preservation Commissionagreed with the Traffic andTransportation Committee rec-

ommendation.Im glad we were able to getthis back on the agenda fortonight, Lempert said. The aimwas to have a standard in placebefore we finish this major down-town project.

Private consulting firmconcludes police auditThe Rodgers Group, a public

safety consulting firm hired bythe municipality in July to con-duct an audit of the police depart-ment, has completed its reviewand is prepared to issue a report.

The program, run by TheRodgers Group, which is headedby Frank Rodgers, former deputysuperintendent of the state po-lice, included focus group meet-ings with officers, police officialsand municipal administration.

The original contract betweenthe town and the consulting firmwas for $11,495, with the potential

to add focus groups as necessaryat a cost of $1,000 per day.I think we ended up paying for

one additional day, or maybe ahalf a day, Bob Bruschi, town ad-ministrator, said.

Bruschi and Mayor Liz Lem-pert said they have received andread the Rodgers report, but didnot want to discuss the detailsuntil a date is set for The RodgersGroup to present the report to thefull council.

The report is extremely de-tailed, Bruschi said. Were wait-ing so that we dont jump to con-clusions.

Bruschi said he felt the townsmoney was well-spent on theaudit, and he felt the firms rec-

ommendations could be ultimate-ly be employed within the townsadministration.

I think theres potential foruse for these recommendationswithin the leadership of thetown, Bruschi said.

Boat overturns onLake Carnegie in windA small boat capsized on Lake

Carnegie on Nov. 24 due to highwind conditions. The two individ-uals who were in the boat, bothmales and Princeton residents in

their 40s, were able to swim toshore under their own power andexited the water before authori-ties arrived.

Princeton Police and thePrinceton First Aid and RescueSquad both responded to the inci-dent, where they examined thetwo men. Neither man was in-

jured, and both refused treatmenton the scene.

and rescue groups. Theyre alwayslooking for dog and cat food, cat litter,cleaning supplies (especially bleach),office supplies, gift cards, blankets,bedding and, of course, treats andtoys.

The 2013 version of our holidaydrive is in full force. This year, we havefive locations that will serve as dropspots, or donation centers. These areplaces that have volunteered to place atub in their lobbies or otherwise allowpeople to visit them to make dona-

tions.This years drop spots are: Oldies & Goodies, 101 W. Merchant

BOE, Education Association members

meet to begin contract negotiationsBy KATIE MORGANThe SunMembers of the Princeton Board of Ed-

ucation met several times with representa-tives of the Princeton Regional EducationAssociation in an attempt to begin negotia-tions on a new contract.

The Education Associations contract,which will expire June 30, 2014, will affectthe unions nearly 400 members.

Representatives of both groups metmost recently on Nov. 20. After that meet-ing, Joanne Ryan, president of the Educa-tion Association and a teacher at Little-brook Elementary School, issued a state-ment calling the meeting very short andvery disappointing.

The motive for the school boards at-tempt at accelerated contract negotiationsmay be the upcoming superintendent tran-sition.

Incoming Superintendent of SchoolsStephen Cochrane, appointed in October, isset to take over for longtime leader JudyWilson on Jan. 1.

Accelerated contract negotiations weresuccessful before Wilson took the positionin 2005, taking a large responsibility off her plate.

The failure of the Nov. 20 meeting meansCochrane will have to confront the issue inhis first several months as superintendent.

The expiring three-year agreement,which was ratified in 2012 after a year of negotiations and teacher demonstrations,

called for raises of 2.78 percent in the sec-ond year and 2.5 percent in the third year.

The current contract also requires thatteachers contribute more money towardtheir medical coverage under state healthbenefit reforms. Health-care contributionsare based on income, with the districts topearners contributing 35 percent to healthcoverage in the 2014-2015 school year.

The Education Associations negotiatingteam has said its top priority for the up-coming contract negotiations will be a dis-cussion of teachers health benefit contri-butions.

Tim Quinn, president of the Board of Education, will not participate in teacher

contract negotiations due to aconflict of interest, but he be-lieves the district will be in good

hands after Cochrane takes thereins.By all indications, the transi-

tion is going smoothly, Quinnsaid. Mr. Cochrane has been inthe district, and is meeting withJudy [Wilson] on a regular basis.Hes been to all of the schools andmet with administrators and su-pervisors. Judy has prepared longlists for Mr. Cochrane, and theyreprioritizing what to do now andwhat to do eventually. Judy hasset us up for a smooth transition.

From the time she announced herretirement, its been clear thatshe cares deeply about ourschools, community and stu-dents. I expect she will do nothingless than set us up for success.

While Cochrane will be at thedistricts helm through teachercontract negotiations, Quinn saidthere has been an effort not tooverload the incoming superin-tendent in his first 100 days.

His first 100 days are going tobe a time of listening, Quinn

said. Hell be gathering his ownimpressions of whats going on inthe district. I think that we collec-tively as a school communitywant to give him the time and thespace that he needs to do a clear-eyed evaluation of the district toassess our strengths and to identi-fy any areas in need of improve-ment.
