Just a few steps away from artmasterpieces by Henri deToulouse-Lautrec and ClaudeMonet, kids at a table in thePrinceton University Art Muse-um are hard at work creatingtheir own art as part of AsianAdventures Festival of Musicand Art. The festival, which tookplace on Saturday, Oct. 6, is in itssecond year and is run by thePrinceton University Art Muse-um in conjunction with thePrinceton Symphony Orchestra.

The event first came aboutthanks to a grant by the BergenFoundation to the orchestra, saidMeredith Laing, Princeton Sym-phony Orchestra manager ofcommunications. The grants are

intended to support the educationof the public in classical music,and Princeton Symphony Orches-tra executive director MelanieClarke decided to create an eventthat would focus on educatingchildren as well as adults.

To flesh out the event, the or-chestra turned to Princeton Uni-versitys Art Museum Weve

Rabbi to hold book signingThe Center of Theological In-

quiry in Princeton hosts LordJonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi andauthor of The Great Partnership:God, Science and the Search forMeaning, launching the US edi-tion of this major new book.Sacks will give a lecture andbook-signing at the Friend CenterAuditorium, at William andOlden Streets on the Princetoncampus on Oct. 17, 7:30 p.m.

In The Great Partnership: God,Science and the Search for Mean-ing, Sacks argues that scienceand religion complement eachother and that both are necessaryin order to understand the

human condition. He believesthat the current battle betweenscience and religion is based on afalse dichotomy. The more urgentconflict is not between different

kinds of belief and non-belief, butbetween militant dogmas, andtheir champions, the likes ofatheist Richard Dawkins (OxfordUniversity evolutionary biologistand author of The God Delusion,2006) and American author andneuroscientist Sam Harris (TheEnd of Faith, 2004).

Described in the United King-dom as a wise thinker and a na-tional treasure, Sacks drawsupon sacred and poetic texts aswell as the thoughts of notedatheists and philosophersthroughout the book, which con-cludes with an epilogue: Letter toa Scientific Atheist.

Lord Jonathan Sachs is ChiefRabbi of the United Hebrew Con-gregations of the Commonwealthand a Member of the House ofLords in the United Kingdom.

partnered with the art museumon a lot of other projects, Laingsaid and asked if the museummight be willing to collaborate onan art and music festival.

The two organizations decidedon a theme last year of Americanart and music they called Ameri-can Adventures. At the Prince-ton Art Museum, projects for kidsrevolved around the artworkfrom the museums collection ofAmerican portraiture and land-

scapes, and a family-oriented con-cert by the symphony featuredmusic by Aaron Copland, JohnPhilip Sousa and Charles Ives.

The concert, Laing said, wassold out, while at the art museum,around 1,200 adults and childrencame to view the exhibits andtake part in craft projects.

It was a huge success, Laingsaid, so we decided to do it againthis year.

The inspiration for the themeof this years festival sprung nat-urally from a common threadrunning through the symphonysconcert series this year.

The concerts this year have arecurring theme of easternmusic, Laing said. Our firstadult classical concert was calledChinas Glory. The concert fea-tured the U.S. premiere of Chi-nese-American composer ZhouTians piece The Grand Canal.

The festivals Asian Adven-tures family friendly concertthis year used selections of TheGrand Canal, along with selec-tions of Camille Saint-Saens Bac-

chanale from his opera Samsonand Delilah, and portions ofAlexander Borodins PolovtsianDances from the opera PrinceIgor.

All of the music for the con-cert, Laing said, was picked withkids in mind, and the Saint-Saensand Borodin pieces, she said, areespecially good for a kids con-

On Nov. 6, Princeton voters willgo to the polls to choose a mayorand council members who will bethe first to lead Princeton as aconsolidated municipality start-ing Jan. 1, 2013. Two mayoral can-didates are running for a four-year term. Heres more about thecandidates for mayor:

Liz LempertDemocrat

Civic activities: Currently

Deputy Mayor, Princeton Town-ship committee, Joint Township-Borough Finance Committee, Fi-nance Subcommittee of the Tran-sition Task Force, Personnel Se-lection Committee, Princeton En-vironmental Commission, TrafficSafety Committee, Joint Sidewalkand Bikeways Committee, Citi-zens Finance Advisory Commit-tee, Human Services Commis-sion, Regional Planning Board,Joint Transportation Fund, Cen-tral Jersey Transportation

Forum, New Jersey League ofMunicipalities Legislative Com-mittee, Friends of the PrincetonPublic Library, Founding mem-ber, Save Our Schools-N.J.

Fiscal discipline: to continue thetrack record of AAA bond ratingswith no municipal tax increaseand to capitalize on efficienciescreated by consolidation to deliv-er tax savings.

Enhanced communication: to

make government informationeasily accessible to residentsthrough regular communicationsand website update, and to estab-lish Mayors Council comprisedof key community members toshare ideas and make progress onimportant issues

Sustainably Planning for our Fu-ture: to achieve silver certifica-tion from Sustainable Jersey andBike-Friendly Community statusfrom League of American Bicy-

clists, to reset University relation-ship to enable professional dialog,to support downtown merchantsthrough shared initiatives andbuy local campaigns, and to plantogether as one community topreserve neighborhood characterand enhance vitality of down-town.

Robert WoodbridgeRepublican

Focus on achieving the goals ofconsolidation: make sure that the

ambitious goals set out by theConsolidation Study Commissionare achieved.

Tone down the rhetoric and stopthe bickering: the last decade haswitnessed a level of bickering,name calling, and infightingnever before seen in our town'shistory. This isnt what Princetonis all about and it has to stop.

Be truly inclusive: as mayor, Iwould make sure that representa-

tion on boards and commissionsbetter reflects the current politi-cal and cultural makeup of thetown.

Take a fresh look at our methodof revaluation: when I was Town-ship Mayor we had reassessmentbut it was handled very skillfully.We had very little negative feed-back. Candidly, I am baffled byhow poorly revaluation was re-ceived and executed last year.

Convene a monthly meeting of

former mayors.Put maintenance of all public

buildings and streets on a regularschedule. There is a lot of longoverdue maintenance of publicfacilities in town.

Require a Financial ImpactStatement for all major projectsincluding the extra cost of addi-tional school children, traffic,parking, police, etc.

Reinvigorate the Pettoranelloand Colmar sister city programs:both have been major benefits to

Princeton.Seek more grants and private

resources for parks and play-grounds, study the pros and consof a separate parks department,provide support for aging inplace, keep Princeton affordablefor all, and keep the downtownstrong and vital.

Look for regional solutions: as

calendar Forum held on local zoning regulation billBy JULIE STIPE

The Princeton Sun

A forum held by Princeton Bor-

ough Mayor Yina Moore and Bor-ough Council on Tuesday, Oct. 9discussed the potential ramifica-tions of a bill that could exemptprivate universities and collegesfrom local zoning regulations, al-lowing them to build with almostno restrictions.

Moore has stressed at previousborough meetings that althoughthe bill, called A2586, would im-pact many municipalities in NewJersey, it could especially affect

Princeton given that the boroughand township are host to Prince-ton University, Princeton Theo-logical Seminary, the Institute forAdvanced Study, and Westmin-ster Choir College.

The bills supporters believethat it will put private universi-ties on equal footing with publicones, which are not required tobring development plans beforelocal zoning and planning boards.

However, Michael Cerra, a sen-

ior legislative analyst with the NJState League of Municipalities,told council that the league be-lieves the bill would create dis-

parity, not parity.They would have the privi-

leges of a public university with-out any of the requirements,Cerra said.

Public bodies, like govern-ments and public schools, aresubject to a greater level of scruti-ny than private institutions,Cerra said, such as the require-ment that they reveal records anddocuments according to the OpenPublic Records Act. The bill

would give private universitiesthe freedom to build with veryfew restrictions, without requir-ing the same transparency askedof public organizations.

Cerra was one member of apanel at the forum that also in-cluded Charles Latini, presidentof the New Jersey chapter of theAmerican Planning Association(APA). Latini said the bill threat-ens to take control of communi-ties away from residents and local

governments.Our position at APA is look-

ing at how we can actually comeup with something thats a little

more sensible and not just dowhat I think New Jersey is alwayseager to do, which is cast asidecommunity planning in favor ofexpedience, Latini said.

Latini pointed out that there isnothing to stop other institutions,such as churches or non-profits,from requesting the same treat-ment as private colleges and uni-versities.

The New Jersey chapter of theAPA has launched a petition op-

posing the bill, which has so fargarnered about 1,000 signatures.New Jersey Sierra Club Direc-

tor Jeff Tittel told council thatthe bill throws out site plan re-strictions, environmental restric-tions, open space plan require-ments, and restrictions related toa townships master plan.

Tittel said the consequences tothis lack of restrictions could beadditional flooding, additionalwater pollution, traffic problems,

and issues with sewer and watercapacity.

Something as large as a uni-versity, you dont realize it, but

they are cities themselves, andthey have the impacts of citiesand this bill will allow them to gofurther, Tittel said.

Tittel said private universitiesmay not mean to hurt the town inwhich they are located, but maydo so anyway because they do notunderstand the communityaround them.

If you give an institution afree hand to do whatever theywant, they will do things that are

short sighted, narrow, and whatthey think is in their best inter-est, but not necessarily what is intheir long-term interest or in theinterest of the community, Tittelsaid.

No representatives of Prince-ton University, Princeton Theo-logical Seminary, the Institute forAdvanced Study, or WestminsterChoir College spoke at the forum.

JCYF to celebrate10th anniversary

The Jewish Community YouthFoundation (JCYF) youth philan-thropy program will be celebrat-ing its 10 Year Anniversary in the

There are many issues that arevery dear and near to my heart.

First, I do believe the tax bur-den that so many Princeton fami-lies are facing would be near thetop of the list. It is important that

we find a way to stabilize if notreduce the current property taxburden. The local municipalityreceives very little (roughly 25%)of your total tax bill. The school,state and county receive the rest. Iwould propose lobbying the statewith other municipalities to finda way to fund our school systemother than direct property tax.

Second, I feel it is essential toremember the greatness that di-versity offers when we begin hir-ing new employees for the newPrinceton government. This

should include from the Police

Department to the clerical staff.We should consider everybody!There is a special bond and rela-tionship the community haswhen they see their communityrepresented by all walks of life.

Third, reassuring the commu-nity once the new Princeton gov-ernment is in place that we arethere to serve the people. This isnot a popularity contest. We musthave the community trusting andsupporting us on day one. When

we ask for community participa-tion to serve on Boards and Com-missions we have to show a uni-fied hard working government.

Fourth, we must set up a line ofopen communication withPrinceton University and allother higher education entities inPrinceton. This is extremely im-portant because of the pendingnew development that these enti-ties will probably begin to pursue.Planned growth is not bad.Growth that is not managed and

carefully thought out can some-times bear bad fruits.

We, the new Princeton Govern-ment will have to seriously makesure that the residents of Prince-ton are not getting a raw deal.This is why the trust that isneeded has to be formed early on.

Patrick Simon

Democrat

Civic activities: I currently

serve as a citizen member of theJoint Consolidation and SharedServices Study Commission. I amalso involved with the work of theTransition Task force, serving asa member on the Finance Sub-committee and as a liaison fromthe commission to the Informa-tion Technology Subcommittee. Ialso currently serve on the execu-tive board of the PCDO. My workwith these groups has awakeneda call to continued communityservice and leadership, and I am

running for public office in re-sponse.

My priorities are the success-ful implementation of consolida-tion, the safety and security ofPrinceton during weather emer-gencies, and the development ofmore collaborative, productiveand forward-moving relation-ships among Princeton's key in-stitutional stakeholders.

Many folks with whom I've spo-ken are concerned about how wewill balance costs and tax savingswith levels of municipal services.There's no magic here: if we wantto keep property taxes in check,then absent state action, our onlyoptions are to keep costs down,grow the tax base, and seek suit-able other revenue sources. In theshort term, our best hope lies infinding the greatest efficiencieswe can through consolidation,and I am committed to doing so.

My second key priority ad-dresses weather and related

emergencies, particularly trafficproblems and power outages thatresult from flooding, snow, anddowned trees. Better communica-tion will be part of the solution,and we should be able to achieve

that in the new Princeton with

the Township's notification sys-tem extended to all of Princeton,and with renewed focus on coor-dinating emergency public com-munications via internet andradio. Protecting life and proper-ty is a critical function of localgovernment, and working to ad-dress these situations will be atop priority of mine ifelected. Beyond these vital is-sues, our neighbors simply wantlocal government to work better,

both in its own deliberations andactions, and in its dealings withthe University and other tax-ex-empt institutions in town. In cam-paigning for this election, I havegained a sense of a renewedPrinceton, with a strong desirefor a municipal government ofwhich we can feel proud. Togeth-er, we are Princeton, a leadingcommunity in our state and inthe country. We can keep a civiltone when we disagree, we can re-ally listen to each other, and we

can find common ground onwhich to integrate the best of allthe different perspectives webring to municipal governanceand management, whether ascivic leaders or as private citi-zens. I am committed to engagingrespectfully with the public to in-tegrate the many different con-cerns and priorities of the mem-bers of our community, and toworking to negotiate and compro-mise to achieve realistic out-comes while efficiently managingour resources. Given the oppor-tunity, I will be that kind ofleader. Furthermore, I feel veryfortunate to be running with astrong and talented Democraticteam for council and with LizLempert, Democratic candidatefor mayor. My running matesshare my respect for and commit-ment to the differing perspectivesand the shared values within ourcommunity, and if elected, wewill work together to effectively

realize the promises of consolida-tion for Princeton.
