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

Baby, it’s cold outside!

According to Mayor Liz Lem-pert, “there will always bebumps” in the road when itcomes to making Princeton abike-friendly community. At acouncil meeting last Tuesday, Feb.24, one of these small yet disputedpotholes emerged as the publicand officials discussed the futureof Hamilton Avenue.

Parking regulations were atthe heart of the public hearing – specifically the ordinance to re-move parking for the sake of bikelanes. The ordinance recom-mended by Princeton’s Traffic

and Transit Advisory Committeeand the Bike and Pedestrian Ad-visory Committee is to removeparking from the south side of Hamilton Avenue between Harri-son Street and Snowden Lane.

“It has been controversial, andI think most councilmembershave been struggling with a deci-sion,” said Lempert earlier onTuesday. “Our streets in Prince-ton are narrow – it means either

losing parking or losing the beau-tiful trees; that’s our challenge.”

However, since Princeton im-plemented the “Complete Streets”policy, the government and resi-dents must honor that roadwaydecisions be made with not onlycars in mind.

Sally Fields of Hamilton Av-enue said the Hamilton residentsappreciate having a say in whathappens to their neighborhood.

“The plan actually createsmuch more hazardous, unsafeconditions,” Fields said. “A few of them: higher car speeds with noparked cars, students at risk bik-ing or walking on side streetswith no sidewalks, residents,

guests, service people parking onside streets and having to dodgespeeding cars to go to houses onHamilton, a 24 by 7 ordinance, notime restriction, way overboard.”

Phil Abram, who has lived onHamilton Avenue for 38 years,agreed with Fields’ commentsand was strongly against remov-ing parking.

2 THE PRINCETON SUN — MARCH 4–10, 2015

By VITA DUVAThe Sun

March is recognized as Nation-al Women’s History Month.

The late poet Maya Angelouonce said, “How important it isfor us to recognize and celebrateour heroes and she-roes!”

This month marks a time totake a step back and reflect onprominent female icons, musesand leaders – whether in personallives or in the public eye – who

have not only made changes intheir own lives and for thosearound them, but who also madechanges for generations to come.

The Sun just could not wait tohear what National Women’s His-tory Month means to the locals of Princeton. Here is what a few peo-ple passing through town had toshare:

Princetonian Elizabeth Deaconsaid her mother is her biggest in-spiration.

“My mom is a hard worker. Sheis a nurse practitioner, so shesaves lives for a living,” Deaconexplained. “My mom also earnedher master’s degree from Mon-mouth University the same yearthat I graduated high school.”

Nina Koehler, a second-timePrinceton visitor from Germany,

also felt her mother was herhero.

“My mother has inspired me in

many ways,” Koehler said. “Sheis a teacher in Germany for in-fants in primary school. She has

taught me that learning to con-nect and earn a trust with yourchildren is one of the most impor-

tant parts of motherhood.”Swati Diwan, director of Exul-

tancy, Inc. in Princeton, sharedher admiration for her mother, aswell: “As a young girl growing upin India, my mother showed methat you could work and have afamily. She was well educated. Myfather gave her the space that sheneeded while she learned to runher own business. Now, I own myown consulting company here inPrinceton, and it is her influencethat has helped me be success-

ful.”While Princeton resident

Nancy McManus spent an after-noon in town with her daughter,Victoria, 4, she took the time to re-flect on why her mother, too, is aleader: “My mother came toAmerica from the Dominican Re-public when she was about 15years old. And she set the barhigh. She raised five children as asingle mother, and is also a for-mer doctorate graduate of Princeton University.”

“Now, just like her, I don’t stop.I keep going,” McManus said of how her mother’s life lessonshave translated in her own life.

For the past year, the HistoricalSociety of Princeton has openedits Updike Farmstead doors to thecommunity the first Saturday of every month. With a combinationof crafts for kids, lectures foradults, performances, tours andexhibitions of the fascinating ar-tifacts and art, HSP has madePrinceton history a family-funevent. Before having partnered

with various local businesses tosupport the events, HSP is nowshifting to non-profit partner-ships to better the bond betweenorganization and community.

“Our goal is to raise awareness

for that particular organizationwhile promoting our site as a sta-ple for local families to visit,learn and have fun,” HSP Direc-tor of Programs and Visitor Serv-ices Eve Mendel said.

The first of HSP’s 2015 initia-tives will take place at its MarchCommunity Day on March 7 fromnoon to 2 p.m. at the Farmstead.HSP has taken the hand of theBoys and Girls Club of MercerCounty, which provides youthages 5 to 18 with academic en-

couragement, arts enrichment,recreational activities and a safe-haven to spend time after school,on weekends and throughout thesummer. The clubhouse is locatedin Trenton and serves more than

2,300 young people in the sur-rounding area. BGC also offers itsteens opportunities to participatein job-ready programs, paid in-ternships and post-graduate ca-reer prep.

Mendel and her staff had theimpetus to partner with BGCafter the club organized a fieldtrip to Updike Farmstead in 2012.

“The Boys and Girls came to usto learn about Lenape that livedon the Farmstead land. We didwalking tours of the grounds, ex-

amined our collection of count-less arrowheads discovered hereand crafted dream catchers,”Mendel said.

After she received photos of the kids with their crafts back at

the club, Mendel began to realizethe importance of local organiza-tions supporting each other.

“We allowed the Boys and GirlsClub to experience an offsite op-portunity that they truly enjoyedand benefited from,” Mendel said.“There are so many wonderful or-ganizations such as BGC aroundPrinceton, and here at HSP, wehave such an amazing site toshare.”

When the time came to transi-tion to non-profits, Mendel knew

from the BGC’s visit that a part-nership with the club would be agreat start to spreading awarenessin the community with a youth-centered, educational approach.

Many BGC kids are bringing

their families to March Commu-nity Day and will lead the artsand crafts activity. Mendel alsoexpects to see non-BGC memberswho will discover more about theclub, what it does for the commu-nity and how to join or volunteer.

In coming months, HSP plansto partner with Friends of Her-rontown Woods, SAVE, A Friendto Homeless Animals, TrentonArea Soup Kitchen’s A-TeamArtists and the FunkTASKtics,Homefront and the Princeton

Photography Club. Mendel iseager to see First Saturdaysevolve with local organizationsmerging together.

“After all,” Mendel said, “we’reall in this together.”

A resident of Princeton for 41years, fine art photographerLarry Parsons will be exhibitinghis work along with nine otheraward-winning artists at

“AgORA: A Collection of Visions”starting Saturday, March 14. Theexhibit will be on display untilWednesday, May 13.

“The title of the show indicatesthat we photographers all seethings very differently and pres-ent images that are very differentfrom each other,” Parsons said of his upcoming show.

The exhibition showcases a se-ries from each of the 10 ex-

hibitors.“My series was made at Long-

wood Gardens. It was night, withlow light, so I photographed thewater lilies in the ponds outsideof the Conservatory,” Parsons ex-plained of his series titled “Danc-

ing Lilies.”“I used a slow shutter speed,

which allowedme to move thecamera andblur the im-ages. In result,the lilies lookas if they aredancing.”

AgORA, anoffshoot of thePrinceton Pho-

tography Club,is a group of 10local award-winning artistic pho-tographers. Meeting monthlysince 2008, the group gathers tocritique each other’s creative andtechnical skills. Parsons is one of

the original group members.Previously, AgORA has curated

joint shows at The Jewish Centerin Princeton and at Gallery 14 in

Hopewell. This upcoming exhibitis the first of its size for thegroup.

“My wife Jean was instrumen-tal in starting me in the art by giv-ing me a camera and classes in

darkroom-based photography forChristmas one year,” Parsonssaid. “I started off making im-ages of flowers. They were simpleand straightforward.”

Studying underPhiladelphia-based photogra-

pher Ricardo Barros, Parsonswas challenged to think outside of the box and make his work some-thing truly his own.

“Consequently, I developed astyle that is very abstract,” Par-sons said.

The Witherspoon-Jacksonneighborhood has a left a legacyin Princeton that, as its residentsmove away or pass on, seems toflicker like an old streetlamp.From council meetings and his-torical tours led by “AfricanAlley’s” informational guruShirley Satterfield, the reality of

Witherspoon’s slow dilapidationas well its community-rich de-sign, strong historical presenceand Southern front-porch aesthet-ic, are recurring topics. Thestreet’s future is being pulled inthe direction of historical preser-vation and a new vision, but thestreet’s past is being relived asthose who are left emerge to telltheir stories.

In conjunction with the ArtsCouncil of Princeton, the Wither-spoon-Jackson Stories Project, or-

ganized by Satterfield, ACP Exec-utive Director Jeff Nathanson,Benjamin Colbert and Prince-ton’s former mayor MichelleTuck Ponder, aims to enhance theneighborhood flame. Supportedby a grant from the New JerseyCouncil on the Humanities, theproject will collect oral historiesthrough a series of scheduled sto-rytelling in small groups at thePaul Robeson Center for the Arts.

These personal accounts will bewelded together with the ACP’s

current collection of photo-graphs to provide a permanentrecord and directory.

The ACP and the project’sfounders hope to see this recordbecome a source for all scholars,students, history buffs or curiouscitizens to utilize on a regularbasis.

“We want the history to be re-membered,” Satterfield said. “Alot of people have moved out or

been forced to leave because of the neighborhood’s economic

changes. We were a proud peoplewhose roles up on ‘the avenue’ en-abled Princeton to get on its feetand thrive.”

According to Satterfield, “theavenue” refers to the homes, busi-nesses and parts of the universityon Nassau Street where mostWitherspoon-Jackson residentsworked throughout the years

School administrators through-

out the state were holding their

collective breath leading up to

Gov. Christie’s 2015 budget address last

week.

“Where would state aid stand?” was

the question on everyone’s mind. If

state aid went down considerably, how

hard would it hit the school district’s

bottom line?

Come last week, though, these same

administrators were able to breathe a

sigh of relief when Christie an-

nounced that his budget proposal

would actually increase state aid to

schools and, more importantly, would-

n’t reduce aid to any school district.

Overall, Christie’s budget provides

for an $811 million increase in educa-

tional funding, although only $4.6 mil-

lion of that will go to school aid. The

rest is earmarked for debt, pension and

health care.

The good news for school districts

like ours, which doesn’t receive the

bulk of state aid to public schools any-

way, is that we will not lose any state

aid from last year. True, we won’t be

seeing an increase, but at least we

won’t lose money.

While we certainly could have used

more help from the Garden State, it’s

comforting to know we won’t have to

kick in more money out of our already

thin pockets.

So two thumbs up to Christie for

paying attention to one of the most im-

portant aspects of life here in New Jer-

sey – our public schools.

in our opinion

Phew!No school district w ill see a decrease in state aid

It’s budget time

The school district will be releasing its2015-2016 budget numbers, and theimpact on your tax bills, shortly. The Sunwill have all the details on the budgetwhen they are released. If you want toshare your thoughts on the topic, sendus a letter to the editor. We’d love tohear from you.

Mayor Liz Lempert, Coun-cilmembers Jenny Crumiller andJo Butler, and other staff mem-bers prepared a list of recommen-dations to be sent to the Depart-ment of Community Affairs inhopes of improving state building

and fire codes in the wake of adevastating fire at AvalonBay’sEdgewater apartment complex inBergen County. The DCA hassince asked municipalitiesthroughout the state for com-ments.

The state’s fire code has beenunder examination since the in-ferno, and local officials havesince called for improvements.

In response to the DCA’s re-quest, Princeton Council present-ed suggestions at its meeting on

Tuesday, Feb. 24, while also open-ing the floor to public comment.

Council’s suggestions are tostrengthen sprinkler require-ments to NFPA13; require mason-ry stairwells and masonry eleva-tor shafts; require masonry fire-walls from the foundation to theroofline with a fire-resistant roof-ing system; require more strin-gent draft stopping and fire stop-

ping; require that if a story con-tains habitable space, it should beconsidered a floor; and requirepermits for after-the-fact penetra-tion of two-hour firewalls in abusiness or multi-family housingunit.

Final comments were dueMarch 1.

Additionally, Lempert reported

that AvalonBay has already an-nounced its plan to enhance thefire protection system in thePrinceton development.

“They have agreed to go aboveand beyond the current code intwo key areas,” Lempert said.“The first is that they havepledged to meet the NFPA13sprinkler standard. This is astricter standard than theNFPA13R system that is current-ly required. The regular standardrequires that there be sprinklers

in the void spaces and attic spacesand not just in the finishedspaces.

In addition, AvalonBay hasagreed to install masonry fire-walls from the foundation to theroof.”

As previously stated by Lem-pert, AvalonBay reported that thecompany planned to begin sitework in Princeton on March 1.

However, building permits haveyet to be issued.

The DCA has yet to set a date tofinalize updates to state buildingand fire code regulations. Thelength of this process remainsunclear.

Council presents state buildingand fire code recommendationsMayor Lempert, council members prepare list to send to DCA

“Take the PARCC” was co-host-ed by Save Our Schools New Jer-sey and Princeton Regional Edu-cation Association on Feb. 23 at

the Princeton High School Per-forming Arts Center. A crowd of 55 to 60 people, comprised of com-munity members, educators, par-ents and students, listened to pre-sentations by Julia Sass Rubin, afounding member of SOSNJ, andJoanne Ryan, second-gradeteacher at Littlebrook and presi-dent of PREA.

While several “Take thePARCC” events have been heldthroughout the state, this is the

first one co-hosted by a localbranch of the New Jersey Educa-tors Association and a publicschools advocacy group.

Following the presentations, at-tendees logged on to www.parc-conline.org and took practicetests. It was suggested that par-ents take tests at the grade level(s)of their child/ren.

Reactions varied during thistime. Some people could not fig- ure out how to advance to the

next page, others had difficultyscrolling down or dragging and

dropping while using theChromebooks, which were pro-vided by PREA. Chromebookswill also be used by the students

of Princeton Public Schools forPARCC testing.

A question and answer period

followed. Queries included con-cerns about graduation require-ments, time spent prepping forthe test, alternative courseworkfor those refusing the test, ru-mors of ties between school fund-ing and participation rate, andimpact on special education stu-dents. Educators spoke frankly of the stress their students endurewith NJASK – stories of tears andvomiting in the halls – and theirfears of how the bar at whichPARCC questions are set will ex-acerbate the pre-existing cultureof test and achievement anxiety.

A short film produced by stu-dents from John WitherspoonMiddle School included inter-views with JWMS students andasked their views on PARCC. Toview the film, visithttp://youtu.be/Q9wZzpCh2MI.

Holiday Inn Princetonis delighted to host you while visiting the Princeton, NJ area.

Holiday Inn Princeton wants to be your home away from home.

A local mom, Nina Peel, on theother hand, pleaded to have coun-cil consider the safety for resi-dents such as herself who walk,cycle and drive in Princeton.

“I believe cycle lanes will im-prove safety for all three cate-

gories of road users,” Peel said. “Idon’t feel safe cycling in Prince-ton currently using the Sharrowsand frankly some of the opinionsexpressed lately have terrified mefurther.

“I have to think now not onlyabout myself but also about mydaughter.”

Peel said that too often changesare not made until there is an ac-cident or injury, such as the fa-ther and son being hit before thecrosswalk was approved on Wash-

ington Road. She hopes bike laneswill be created before “anyoneelse becomes a statistic.”

Some residents of HamiltonAvenue, however, felt they werenot properly informed in the ini-tial letter in June proposingchanges to the street such asrepaving.

Maria Kozhevnikova com-plained about not being properlynotified of this ordinance.

A local engineer and experi-enced cyclist, Mike Suber of Ter-hune Road, said: “Hamilton Av-enue, like all our streets, is not aprivate parking lot but a public fa-cility intended for and paid for byall of us – all of us are taxpayers.”

Suber said he does not person-ally feel the need for bicycle lanesbut feels strongly that they willaid adults who have little experi-ence or are lacking in confidenceto ride safely on streets.

“This is a small part in a biggerplan. If you do not vote for this be-

ginning, it will set back plans fora sustainable Princeton and Idon’t think any of us want to seethat,” Suber said.

Dozens of residents spoke pas-sionately about the ordinance – according to Lempert, more thancouncil had heard since consoli-dation.

Lempert clarified some aspectsof “Complete Streets,” which hasbeen endorsed by the state, Mer-cer County, the former townshipand borough and now consolidat-ed Princeton. There was a lot of talk of creating a master plan be-fore enforcing any new regula-

tions, though Lempert stressedthat “Complete Streets” muststart with something small anddoes not need a complete plan tobegin implementing smallchanges.

“We have to examine, ‘is thisroad working for everybody?’”Lempert stated.

Ultimately, council tabled theordinance. Tabling requires thatthe ordinance be removed fromdiscussion until a councilmem-ber motions for it to be “unt-

abled” – again notifying the pub-lic before reconsidering Prince-ton’s options and settling on avote.

when Princeton remained a JimCrow town. Satterfield explainedhow her neighbors’ ancestors –

her family goes back six genera-tions in Princeton – came prima-rily during the 18th century whileenslaved to the presidents andtrustees of Princeton University.Later, she said, more blacks, such

as Paul Robeson’s father who wasan escaped slave, moved from theSouth to the Witherspoon-Jack-son neighborhood and acted asthe working class backbone of the community.

The Southern culture was ap-parent in the porched propertiesthat lined the area of Wither-

spoon between Jackson Street – now Paul Robeson Place – andBirch Avenue. It was apparent inthe friendly community Satter-field said was like “one big fami-ly,” in the swirling barbershop

poles and ice cream parlors. Inretrospect, the Southern culturewas perhaps most apparent inthat the black community wasrelegated to a specific area andhow Princeton, though located inthe North, remained a Jim Crowtown well into the 1940s.

“There was a colored Y, colored

schools, a colored section of thecemetery. We were all segregated.But we had everything in ourneighborhood. I didn’t even real-ize there was segregation until Iwent to high school and was treat-

ed differently by my teachers,”Satterfield said.

The recognition of Wither-spoon-Jackson’s divided yet vi-brant past grew louder duringFebruary when the country rec-ognizes the accomplishments of the black community. The WJ Sto-ries Project was initiated with a

screening of “Selma” at thePrinceton Garden Theater onFeb. 5 and with a presentation atthe Arts Council on Feb. 22.

The project, however, will ex-tend far beyond February as indi-

viduals proceed to tell their sto-ries.
