By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Corner House, a nonprofitcounseling center for Princetonyouth and families strugglingwith substance abuse and emo-tional issues, has finally found anew home.

The organization, once housedin the former Valley Road Schoolbuilding, has opened the doors toa new, state-of-the-art facility inMonument Hall.

“We’ve been exploring the idea

of moving for about seven years,”said Gary De Blasio, CornerHouse executive director. “TheValley Road School building is de-crepit and falling apart. There’sasbestos and mold. We had ceil-ings collapse in the basement.”

ough, it became clear that therewould be room in Monument Hall

when some municipal serviceswere moved to Witherspoon Hall.

“In looking at all of our differ-ent options, it was clear this wasthe most financially feasible op-tion,” De Blasio said. “The munic-ipal officials were incredibly sup-

portive. Councilman Lance Liver-man was a key mover for us, andmembers of the Transition TaskForce advocated for us a greatdeal.”

Renovations to the new facili-ties included the creation of an

enclosed reception and waitingarea to provide privacy to clients,as well as the addition of new of-fice, clinical and meeting space.

“We’ve been in the communityfor 41 years,” De Blasio said. “Itwas time we had a respectable

home. This space has been laidout to fit our needs, and we’re re-ally creating a nice environmentfor Princeton and for the clientswe serve. In our business, envi-ronment goes a long way. We’rebetter able to help people in acomfortable, relaxing environ-ment.”

De Blasio also believes thatCorner House’s new location andsignage will increase the commu-nity’s access to services.

“We’re closer to downtown,and the freeB will have extrastops here,” De Blasio said. “Oncethe rest of our signs are up,

and the open house happens,we’ll have access to a lot morepeople.”

The open house will be held onJune 19 from 3 to 7 p.m. De Blasiosaid the event is an opportunityfor the community to see thenew space and to celebrate themove.

“We’re basically announcingour presence to the community,”he said. “We want them to cele-brate with us in our new homewhere we’re serving the commu-nity and youth. We’ve invitedcounty, state and Princeton Uni-versity officials as well.”

The renovations included atechnology upgrade with newcomputers and televisions, tech-nology-based training for coun-selors, and a sound masking sys-tem throughout the facility thatincreases clients’ privacy.

De Blasio said the artworkon the walls goes a long way to-ward creating a relaxing environ-

ment.“It was all donated by former

Councilwoman Marie Matthews,who was a huge patron for manyyears,” he said. “Everything onthe walls is either her work, orsomething she brought back fromher travels.”

De Blasio said the entire proj-ect cost between $250,000 and$280,000.

“For what we did here, that’samazing,” De Blasio said. “It wasso feasible. We’re providing the

best services we can, and nowwe’re in the best facility we couldbe in.”

in our opinion

Council raises As with many other things in life, you get what you pay for ...

6 THE PRINCETON SUN — JUNE 12-18, 2013

Two companies merge. A man-

ager who is carried over from

one of them finds her responsi-

bilities effectively doubled – and must

accept a substantial pay cut, too.

That’s the breaks, right? Maybe so, but

if you think it’s fair, you’re obviously

not the one doing the job.

This is precisely the position in

which two members of the former

Princeton Township Council find

themselves. Before consolidation, they

were receiving the princely sum of 

$10,000 per year for their time and

labors. Now they’re receiving the

princely sum of $7,500, today’s going

rate, which is a carry-over of the

salary level of Princeton Borough

council members before consolida-

tion.

The new council has set aside funds

that would enable the raising of the

council’s base salaries to $10,000.

There’s a kerfuffle about this proposal,

no joke. The new pay scale would come

to roughly $191.35 a week. Throw in a

decent bottle of wine and a fair gratu-

ity, and a couple couldn’t get out of one

of this town’s upscale restaurants

without paying this for dinner, no joke.

Opponents of any pay hike are

basically arguing that an industrious,

responsible and responsive council

member isn’t worth $191.35 a week.

The public meetings. The committee

meetings. Reading all that stuff. The

phone conferences. The inescapable

round of civic/social events. Having

every tax-paying citizen believe they

have a God-given right to a call-back or

a sit-down or an impromptu Q&A in

the checkout line at McCaffrey’s.

The counter-argument is, no one

asked these people to serve (this isn’t

true, in most cases), and they have the

high honor of public service. In other

words, the perfect council would con-

sist of aristocrats from Periclean

Athens who have all the time in the

world and no concerns at all about

their monthly bills. The members of 

such a council would be representa-

tive of the good citizens of this com-

munity. Right.

We agree that public service

shouldn’t be about the money. Which

is the reason we say, do the right thing.

Give these people the raise. Let them

take the husband or the wife or the sig-

nificant other out to dinner, now and

then. It’s small compensation for all

those hours they’re not sharing with

loved ones at home.

Reader commends newspaperfor smoking ban editorial

The Montgomery Sun should be com-mended for its May 15-21 editorial regard-ing our governments taking smoking banstoo far. The ability to pass a law does notmean the legal authority to do so is pres-ent, noting laws have been deemed uncon-stitutional from time to time. And thetownship is taking the right steps by mod-erating penalties in its ordinance and af-firming its refusal to restrict lawful smok-ing in public areas by putting up signs dis-

couraging smoking, not criminalizing it,in parks, as reported in your May 22-28 edi-tion.

Princeton has chosen to go the other di-rection. Even after following Mont-gomery’s lead initially, its Department of 

Health, with the approval of its elected offi-

cials, is seeking to punish smokers in pub-lic including parks. Princeton has donethis – as a response to an OPRA request re-veals – contrary to the solicited opinionfrom, and expressed concerns of, the boardattorney for Fair Lawn, Ronald Mondello,who cautioned that there were state pre-emption and constitutional issues in doingso pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3 D-1 et seq.

The inability of a government to be ableto prove smoking outdoors actually nega-tively impacts the health of another – con-trasted with indoor second-hand smokepollution – is fatal to this type of legisla-

tion. Princeton’s effort will fail when chal-lenged and result in incurring fees andother costs unnecessarily to defend.Princeton should stop seeking headlinesand lauding from anti-smokers and theirgroups in this regard, and follow the lead

of Montgomery Township again, now.

lationship with Sen. Lautenbergwas his forthright opposition tothe first Gulf War. I remember co-leading a delegation that metwith him shortly before the warstarted in January 1991.

He said that if he couldn’t ingood conscience be OK with hisown son being in that war, that heshouldn’t vote to have other peo-ple’s children be sent. He said hehad been booed by some audi-

ences for that position, butshowed the courage of his convic-tions and voted against authoriz-ing that war.

I was also immensely im-pressed with Sen. Lautenberg’sstrong advocacy for sensible gunsafety laws, including the Bradybackground checks bill, and thenational assault weapons ban. Irecall speaking at a rally in frontof the Camden police headquar-ters, where drive-by shootingswere an epidemic. He rejected theNRA’s argument that guns werenot the problem, and that peoplecould be killed by other means.He said he never heard of a drive-by knifing.

People who love and cherishpeace at the community, state, na-

Branchburg fire heightens pipeline concernsBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Princeton residents and offi-cials expressed concern about a“flash fire” that occurred at a nat-ural gas pipeline project in Som-erset County.

Oklahoma-based WilliamsCompany, the operator of thepipeline, is planning a similarproject for Princeton.

The fire, which occurred inBranchburg around 7 p.m. onMay 30, sent two workers to the

hospital with non-life threateninginjuries, and left 13 with minorinjuries, according to the Branch-burg Rescue Squad, which wascalled to the scene.

The workers were welding a

non-active segment of pipeline ata Williams Co. compression sta-

tion when the fire occurred. Theworkers were released from thehospital within several days.

The work being performed inBranchburg to increase compres-sion horsepower on the Transcopipeline is similar to work includ-ed in Williams Co.’s proposal for anearly 6.5 mile-long expansion of an existing pipeline, which wouldaffect about 30 Princeton proper-ty owners. The Princeton Councillent support last month to a reso-

lution drafted by the PrincetonEnvironmental Commission thatoutlined concerns about the safe-ty of the project.

“This incident really summa-rizes our concerns,” Heidi Ficht-

enbaum, a member of the Envi-ronmental Commission, said.

“The Environmental Commis-sion held an open meeting, andsafety was something discussedby the public. There’s clearly verygrave concern by the homeown-ers about issues of safety such asgas, an explosive element, close tohomes. If a fire were to start here,that would be disastrous. Sincethese plans were announced, safe-ty has been a big, big issue. Thisincident has probably onlyheightened those concerns.”

Tom Droege, a spokesman forWilliams Co., said there was nodamage to the compression sta-tion, and natural gas service wasnot interrupted as a result of thefire. Droege said the company is

still assessing the incident to de-termine exactly what ignited to

cause the flash fire.Williams Co. has not released

any information about blastingthat would be necessitated by therocky geological formations of the environmentally sensitivePrinceton Ridge.

“We can’t say for sure, ‘yesthere is going to be blasting,’”Fichtenbaum said. “Withoutknowing exactly where they’regoing to place the pipeline andhaving a geotechnical report, we

can’t definitively say that blastingis required, but I would say that atsome point it’s likely. We knowthat there is a lot of rock on theridge that is very close to the sur-face.”

It is unknown how any blastingwould affect the existing pipeline,

which was built in the 1950s.Williams Co. intends to utilize theexisting easement to build thenew pipeline parallel to the exist-ing one.

If the Federal Energy Regula-tory Commission approvesWilliams Co.’s proposed projectfor Princeton, Droege said thecompany would consult withlocal emergency personnel to de-velop a contingency plan in caseof any emergency.

“I would only be speculating tosay that something like this couldhappen in Princeton,” Droegesaid. “I can tell you that safety forour employees and the public isour highest priority.”

year. The current mayor andCouncil hold office by cam-paigning within the Democraticpolitical club, and used the clubto beat back other Democraticchallengers.

What has been lacking in re-cent years, and again this year,is a voice for the communitythat is not beholden to the localDemocratic club.

I’m a candidate and chal-lenger for Princeton Councilthis year. I seek support from allquarters: Democrats, Republi-cans and Independents. And Iam not running in order to givemyself a pay hike.

If elected, I pledge not to take

one.We can all agree that we who

run for office don’t do it for the

money. We offer our services be-cause of our commitment to thecommunity.

That commitment, shared byDemocrats, Republicans and In-dependents alike, has been tar-nished by mayor and Council’spresent proposal to give them-selves a steep pay hike duringtheir first year of office. And ithas been further tarnished bythe disingenuous argument thatthey seek the pay hike not out of 

self-interest but to help the restof us.Princeton voters deserve

leadership that is forthright andplain-spoken and not disrespect-ful of the electorate’s intelli-gence.
