    Leadership ceremony kicks off festivalBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    The Sustainable PrincetonLeadership Awards Ceremonyhonors community leaders andresidents who promote sustain-ability.

    The 2012 Sustainable PrincetonLeadership Awards, held Jan. 23at the Princeton Public Library,served as the kick-off to the annu-al Princeton Environmental FilmFestival.

    The ceremony, hosted byPrinceton Mayor Liz Lempertand Matt Wasserman, chairmanof Sustainable Princeton and thePrinceton Environmental Com-mission, honored nine Princetonresidents and community mem-bers.

    Cohosting this event with themayor clearly says were seriousabout these initiatives, saidWasserman. Its not just a grass-roots organization, and were not

    just a bunch of tree huggers. Thisis something that is front and cen-ter on the mayors agenda. Its not

    just a passing fad. With Liz beingthere, that message comes acrossloud and clear.

    The 2012 honorees were Dr.Stephanie Chorney, a citizen ac-tivist; John Emmons and MarthaFriend, science teachers; RobertHrabchak, Princeton Day Schoolstudent; Jack Morrison, presi-dent of the JM Group and ownerof Nassau Seafood; Stu Orefice,Princeton University Dining

    Services Director; Bill Sachs, resi-dent tree expert; and WilliamWolfe, architect.

    Hrabchak is a Princeton DaySchool student who designed andbuilt his own electric car.

    It just goes to show that itsgreat to have someone who

    spends hundreds of thousands ofdollars installing a solar paneledroof we love that, Wassermansaid. But we want to acknowl-edge the people, especially kids,who say, OK, how can I make adifference, even at my level? Wewant to reward things like that so

    other kids say, wow, Ive gotideas. It propagates the thinkingwere trying to instill in the com-munity.

    This year, for the first time, aresident was honored with a Sus-tainable Princeton LifetimeAchievement Award. Grace Sin-

    den received the award for hercontinued commitment to creat-ing a sustainable and environ-mentally friendly community.

    Given the amount of workshes done in the area of the envi-

    A task force led by CouncilPresident Bernie Miller wasformed this month to review thezoning requirements and ordi-

    nances that apply to the formerUniversity Medical Center ofPrinceton.

    The task force met for the firsttime on Jan. 17, and again on Jan.22.

    Were looking to do two phas-es of work, Miller said. Thefirst phase focuses almost exclu-sively on the residential use partof the ordinance. A lot of workwent into the existing ordinance,

    and now we need to look at it fromthe perspective of the consolidat-ed community, and not just theperspective of the Borough.

    At the Jan. 22 meeting, Millertold the other members of thetask force that he wanted to focus

    the proceedings on the interestsof the community.

    This first phase should be toclarify, and solidify that the ordi-nance represents what the consol-idated community is looking forin what is considered the residen-tial part of the tract, Miller said.Then, if its necessary and timepermits, well take an opportuni-

    New task force

    to review zoningGroup to look into ordinances thatapply to former medical center

    ronment, its no surprise that forGrace they decided to go aboveand beyond the usual award,Wasserman said. Shes not beinghonored for a specific project, butevery environmental issue thatscome up, Grace has been there.Either as a member of the com-mission, a volunteer or just a car-ing resident, she is just constant-ly, continuously either leading the

    effort or there in the backgroundproviding information and shar-ing her experience. Shes helpingPrinceton realize its sustainabili-ty goals.

    Nominations for the Sustain-able Princeton LeadershipAwards began in November. The

    Princeton Environmental Com-mission asked community mem-bers to nominate peers they be-lieved had made a difference inthe communitys push toward asustainable future.

    According to the SustainablePrinceton website, the nomina-tions were seeking individualswho represented Princetonsbest, brightest and greenest busi-nesses, residents, teachers, schooladministrators, government em-ployees, religious leaders and anyothers that are leading the way to-ward a sustainable Princeton.

    Nominations were due no later

    than Dec. 21, and the winnerswere announced on Jan. 17. Thefinalists were chosen by a volun-teer review team comprised ofrepresentatives from each area ofexpertise.

    Sustainable Princeton beganas a partnership between the New

    Jersey Sustainability State Insti-tute and the Princeton Environ-mental Commission.

    The current goals of the com-mission are to reduce energy gen-erated by fossil fuels by 20 percentin Princeton by 2020, and toreduce waste by 50 percent by2016.

    The waste goal was a five-yearplan set last year, said Wasser-man. We have a curbside com-post program in place, weredoing better with recycling down-town, and weve been talking tothe university about partneringto do something really big in town

    with machines called organic di-gesters. Its an audacious goal. Itsa goal thats supposed to scareyou a bit, but if things come to-gether and we put all our effortstoward this, we could achieve it.Were already making a measura-ble difference.

    The annual Princeton Environ-mental Film Festival (PEFF)opened at the Princeton Public Li-brary on Jan. 24.

    The festival, now in its seventhyear, will span 13 days over threeweekends, closing on Feb. 10.

    Susan Conlon, PEFF director,said the format of the schedule

    has changed over the years.We looked at our schedules

    and our attendance and noticedsome trends, she said. Ourweekday screening times had alower attendance rate, and so lastyear we came up with the idea todo three long weekends, Thurs-day through Sunday. Thats howwere doing it again this year.

    The 35 films being shown at thefestival range from four minutesto feature-film length, and cover abroad spectrum of environmen-

    tal issues and topics. The themeof the festival is A Sense ofPlace.

    We dont come into the plan-ning with the idea that weregoing to have a theme, Conlonsaid. But as we were looking atfilms and films were coming in,we realized that many of thesefilms do have an overridingtheme. They are connected in thatmany of them come from an

    angle where a certain place mat-tered to the filmmaker or thestory or film, and they were con-veying that. The films are aboutthe importance of a place whydo people care about a place, andhow does this issue impact themand what might they do to eitherpreserve or change something be-cause it is special to them.

    Planning for the festival beginsin March, when organizers begin

    acquiring films that have beenshown at other festivals as well asaccepting film submissions.Films that address regional, na-tional and global issues are allconsidered.

    This year, several of the film-makers are from the Princetonarea, and Conlon said some of thefilms are particularly pertinent tothe Princeton population.

    We have two films on Katrinaas well as climate change, Con-lon said. As we were scheduling

    them we thought about our ownimmediate experience in NewJersey and New York. Well beholding a panel discussion afterthe Katrina film talking about theexperience here, its impact andthe future.

    Many films will be prefaced orfollowed by speakers or events.The directors, producers andfilmmakers of a number of thefilms will attend the screening or

    speak to attendees over Skype.Conlon said many of the events

    and films are family-friendly, andchildren are invited to attend.

    The festival is sponsored byChurch & Dwight Co. Inc., TerraMomo Restaurant Group and theWhole Earth Center of Princeton.

    All screenings are free andopen to the public, and doors open30 minutes before the start of thefilm.

    Conlon believes attendees willappreciate the themes featured atthe festival, and many will be ableto relate personal experiences tothe content of the films.

    One thing that became appar-ent through both watching thesefilms and our experiences herewas we realized how resilient peo-ple are, Conlon said. You havenatural disasters or changes inclimate or politics or energy, buttheres nothing defeatist. That re-siliency is a powerful thing that

    comes across in many of thefilms. Ultimately people keep com-ing back and doing whatever theycan when something matters tothem. Theres something aboutthese films they reveal difficultproblems in our world, but theyrealso overwhelmingly positive.

    The problems facing the U.S.

    Postal Service have been well

    documented. Primarily, the

    service will run out of money later

    this year unless reforms are put in

    place.

    Unfortunately for the Postal Service,

    its up to Congress to make those

    changes. Good luck with that. If histo-

    ry is any indication, at best it can hope

    for a quick fix about 30 seconds before

    the clock expires.

    The Postal Service is losing millions

    of dollars each day. A number of fixes

    had been presented, including closing

    some facilities, ending Saturday deliv-

    ery and getting back some of themoney that the Service has con-

    tributed to future retirees benefits.

    Problem is, legislation addressing

    these and other issues died when the

    new Congress was sworn in earlier

    this month. Now, everything has to

    start again from scratch.

    Pretty much all of the ideas put

    forth, and some that havent gained

    that much notoriety, hold merit. Los-

    ing Saturday service wouldnt be sucha terrible thing. Its probable that some

    consolidation among facilities is possi-

    ble. And the Service makes a good

    point when it asks for a return of the

    benefits money, something that is

    unique to the Service.

    Its also possible to continue to mod-

    ernize, finding ways to place more

    services online, for example. Even

    more creative: sell advertising on

    postage stamps.

    Whatever the bundle of solutions

    eventually looks like, its fairly certain

    that, despite talk to the contrary, Con-

    gress will be in no hurry to do much of

    anything. We just got past another fis-

    cal cliff and debt-limit deadlines are

    approaching quickly.

    Unfortunately for the Postal Service,and the millions of Americans who de-

    pend on it, a decision probably wont

    come anytime soon.

    in our opinion

    Starting overThe Postal Service has a new Congress and little time before money runs out

    Postal problems

    The U.S. Postal Service saw legislationto fix at least some of its problems diewhen the new Congress took office.Now it has to start all over again. GivenCongress penchant for dragging itsfeet on just about everything, no onshould anticipate a resolution to this

    issue anytime soon.

    Called by Elton John the best song-writer on the planet, Grammy nominee

    Rufus Wainwright comes to McCarter The-atre Center in an acoustic solo evening onWednesday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. with specialguest Lucy Wainwright Roche.

    The son of folk singers Loudon Wain-wright and Kate McGarrigle, and brotherof Martha Wainwright, Rufus Wainwrighthas achieved his success by carving out hisown singular sound in the worlds of rock,opera, theater, dance, and film.

    Wainwright has received Juno Awardsfor Best Alternative Album in 1999 and2002 for Rufus Wainwright and Poses, re-spectively, and nominations for his albums

    tor Deny Arcands film, LAge des Tene-bres (2007), the Merchant Ivory filmHeights (2005), and the major blockbusterThe Aviator (2004) directed by MartinScorsese.

    ty to look at rezoning the entiresite.

    Miller said the task force hopesto present a revised ordinance toCouncil by the end of January.

    Were hoping for the end ofthe month, he said. If not, wellmake the first meeting in Febru-ary.

    If Council accepts the revised

    ordinance, it will be referred tothe Planning Board for comment.It will then return to Council andbe voted on.

    The task force was formedafter the Planning Board voted inDecember to deny a proposalfrom developer AvalonBay to con-struct a 280-unit apartment com-plex on the site.

    The attorney for the PlanningBoard will draw up findings onthe vote, and once the findingsare entered into record, Avalon-

    Bay will have 45 days to appeal.Carol Norris-Smith, vice presi-

    dent of marketing and public af-fairs for Princeton HealthCareSystem, said the owners of thesite are still involved with Avalon-Bay.

    There is an existing contractbetween Princeton HealthCareSystem and AvalonBay, she said.Its terms are confidential.

    Norris-Smith said PrincetonHealthCare Systems was un-

    aware if AvalonBay intended toappeal.We have been told by Avalon-

    Bay that they are considering alloptions and have not made a deci-sion yet, she said.

    Rich Wolff, a spokesman forAvalonBay, said the developerwould not comment on its plans.

    Its our policy when anythingis in front of a planning or zoningboard that we dont comment onthe proceedings and dont specu-late as to what our response will

    be, Wolff said.At the Jan. 17 meeting, the task

    force began looking at the permit-ted uses included in the ordi-nance.

    Weve looked at permitted

    uses and have made some minorchanges, Miller said. Were try-

    ing to be very clear on what wewant and dont one. One of thingstheres a lot of agreement on is noswimming pool. The CommunityPark Pool is just a few blocksaway. We also dont want any typeof gated community, so weredoing what we need to do to avoidthat.

    At the Jan. 22 meeting, the taskforce continued to examine per-mitted uses, and members ques-tioned the number of units that

    should be allowed on the site.Heidi Fichtenbaum, a residentand member of the task force,presented a basic plan for the sitethat reduced the number of unitsfrom 280 to 125, a number she saidbetter reflects the unit density ofthe surrounding neighborhoods.

    Task force member Gail Ull-man felt the original number ofunits was appropriate for the site.

    Reducing the units causes areal change in potential value inthe place, Ullman said. This is

    two blocks from downtown. Thisis a place where density makessense. Were not interested inturning this into the mid-twenti-eth century buildings around it.

    This is an opportunity for a newbuilding a big building, with a

    lot of people in it, basically inDowntown Princeton.

    Miller said he felt reducing theunits was an option the task forceshould explore further.

    I think its a very interestingexercise, he said. It seemed tome a lot of what we didnt likeabout AvalonBay was there were280 units, and there were fewways to fit that many units with-out looking like AvalonBay.

    Part of the original ordinance

    required that a minimum 20 per-cent of the units qualify as afford-able housing. Ullman questionedwhether reducing the number ofunits would detract from the ef-fectiveness of the affordablehousing requirement.

    Before you reduce the numberof units by a third, she said,think about the number of af-fordable housing units that elimi-nates.

    Miller said the affordable hous-ing requirement would remain in

    the revised ordinance.The 20 percent affordable

    housing requirement is one thingwe feel very strongly about, hesaid. That will not change.
