Princeton residents, police offi-
cers and municipal officials did
their part for the Community
Blood Council of New Jerseys
blood drive on May 8.
The Community Blood Council
worked in conjunction with the
police department to organize the
event, which took place on the
corner of Witherspoon and Nas-
sau streets.
This is the fourth time weve
had a Community Blood Council
drive here in town, Sgt. Mike
Cifelli said. Its a great event for
everybody involved. It helps us
and it helps the Blood Council.
The Blood Council organizes
similar drives all over the state.
The nonprofit organization works
with businesses, schools and in-
stitutions to plan blood drives on
varying scales.
A lot of the area high schools
work with us, Lori Burris, re-
cruitment account manager for
the Blood Council, said. We want
anyone who wants to donate to
have the opportunity. If a compa-
ny wants to do a blood drive, they
dont need a specific amount of
participants. They just have to
contact us.
For Princetons blood drive, the
Blood Council utilized a blood-
mobile, a large bus that can com-
fortably accommodate five donors
at a time.
We always hope for a large
turnout, especially in Princeton,
Burris said. Were hoping that
parking the big bus right on the
corner of Witherspoon and Nas-
sau will increase our visibility.
Hopefully, people walking down-
town will see the bus and decide
to donate. We are accepting as
many walk-ins as possible.
For each unit donated on May
8, the Blood Council made a con-
tribution to the New Jersey Hur-
ricane Sandy Relief Fund. The
total number of units donated
was not available at press time.
We cant disclose how much
the contribution is, Burris said.
But its an extra incentive for
people to donate, and its another
way to help people in New Jer-
sey.
The majority of the blood that
is donated remains in New Jersey
after it is processed. Most of the
blood goes to area hospitals.

The Witherspoon Street Pres-
byterian Church is running a
fundraising and awareness cam-
paign to rehabilitate the historic
Paul Robeson house.
Robeson, a singer, actor and
civil rights activist, was born in
Princeton in 1898. His father, Rev-
erend William Robeson, escaped
from a plantation and became the
minister of the WSPC in 1881.
Robeson eventually became the
third African-American student
to attend Rutgers University,
where he was a standout football
player and member of the glee
club. He was posthumously hon-
ored in Princeton for his achieve-
ments and work in civil rights.
Paul Robeson Place, a well-known
avenue that bisects the downtown
district, is also home to the Arts
Council of Princetons Paul Robe-
son Center for the Arts, a theatre
and event hall.
The WSPC recently regained
ownership of the house on With-
erspoon Street, and plans to com-
plete an extensive renovation and
adapt the home into a community
center.
Robeson house will become a
true community resource center,
the WSPC said in an information-
al packet about the project. It
will be devoted to issues around
the challenges to human rights,
particularly regarding services to
the poor and the powerless in an
affluent community.
The WSPC believes the com-
munity resource center will be an
enormous help to the surround-
ing Witherspoon-Jackson neigh-
borhood, which has experienced
an influx of immigrants, young
professionals and students.
These demographic changes,
in tandem with scarce resources,
have exacerbated tensions and
created new challenges, the
WSPC said. The encroachment
of commercial interests has
made it harder for long-term resi-
dents, especially low-income fam-
ilies, to continue to live in the
neighborhood. Witherspoon
Church seeks to continue its role
as a catalyst for racial and ethnic
reconciliation, mutual under-
standing and collaboration in eco-
nomic and social initiatives
brought on by these changes.
Once the renovation is com-
plete, space will be made avail-
able for community groups, or-
ganizations and institutions in
Princeton.
The house will be a place for
groups to meet, learn and con-
nect, the WSPC said. We envi-
sion group meetings, discussion
groups, classes, community serv-
ices, health screening and job
counseling, as well as outreach
and crisis support from local or-
ganizations.
The renovation plans include
meeting and office space, as well
as temporary housing.
We are especially sensitive to
the needs of low-income African-
American youngsters and immi-
grants who often find it hard to
navigate the complexities of an
affluent community, the WSPC
said. We seek to create hos-
pitable spaces where visiting
scholars, young families and new
residents can seek temporary
lodging.
Once the community center is
up and running, the WSPC will
present the inaugural Paul Robe-
son Award, which will honor a
group, institution or individual
who has made strides in social
services that benefit the commu-
nity.
The WSPC believes the estab-
lishment of the community re-
source center in the home where
Paul Robeson grew up is in keep-
ing with the virtues he repre-
sents.
The house will be a welcom-
ing space that affirms the histori-
cal significance of Paul Robeson
and his many accomplishments,
the WSPC said. Especially his
gifts to the human rights move-
ment, his role as a human
rights activist, and advocate
throughout the United States and
abroad.

National Click it or Ticket
campaign begins May 20
Law enforcement officers
from the Princeton Police De-
partment will be cracking down
on unbuckled motorists and
passengers as part of the na-
tional Click it or Ticket cam-
paign.
Beginning Monday, May 20,
and running through June 2,
the annual initiative includes
high visibility law enforcement
seat belt checkpoints and satu-
ration patrols, as well as local
and national publicity designed
to ensure that drivers and pas-
sengers recognize the life-sav-
ing value of seat belts.
Using a seat belt is the sim-
plest way for a driver and his or
her passengers to protect them-
selves when traveling, said
Gary Poedubicky, acting direc-
tor of the New Jersey Division
of Highway Traffic Safety. In
2010 alone, seat belts saved an
estimated 12,546 lives nation-
wide.
Last year, the front seat belt
usage rate in New Jersey de-
clined for the first time in 15
years, to 88.29 percent. Poedu-
bicky noted that the goal for this
years campaign is to once again
move the usage rate above 90
percent.
Poedubicky added that the
campaign will focus on rear seat
passengers, as well.
Despite laws requiring adult
back seat passengers to buckle
up, adult back seat belt use
stands at only 36 percent.
During the 2012 Click it or
Ticket campaign, 425 police
agencies nationwide participat-
ed in the two-week initiative.
As a result of the effort, law
enforcement officers
issued 29,307 seat belt citations,
4,951 speeding summonses
and made 861 drunk driving ar-
rests.

Last year, 900,000 American
families expressed interest in
adopting a child from another
country. Because of immigration
laws and difficult-to-navigate
adoption systems, only 8,200 in-
ternational adop-
tions were ac-
tually finalized.
The average
international
adoption takes
896 days and
costs more than
$28,000, according
to Both Ends
Burning, a non-
profit agency dedi-
cated to reducing
the roadblocks to in-
ternational adoption.
Craig Juntunen of
Scottsdale, Az., presi-
dent and founder of
Both Ends Burning, thinks some-
thing needs to change.
To spread the word about the
issue, Juntunen produced an in-
dependent film called STUCK
and began entering film festivals
and touring the country.
STUCK was screened at the
Montgomery Cinema,
outside Princeton, on
May 11. Local families
shared their experi-
ences with interna-
tional adoption and
spoke about the im-
portance of making
the issues families
face a political pri-
ority.
Ive been help-
ing with audience
recruitment,
said Jen Tang, of
Princeton. Its
been great.

Were the major providers for
Robert Wood Johnson hospital,
Burris said. Our blood stays
mostly in Mercer County.
Cifelli said Princeton chose to
work with the Blood Council be-
cause the blood stays local.
One of the biggest reasons we
hooked up with the Blood Council
is because everything stays in the
area, Cifelli said. This is mem-
bers of the community helping
each other. If someone in Prince-
ton needs this blood, its there and
its coming from the community.
Each donor on May 8 received a
t-shirt, and was entered in a raffle
for a gift certificate to On the
Bone restaurant in Plainsboro.
Burris said that once all the
donors were recorded, a winner
would be drawn and notified by
phone. Burris said she was un-
sure when another Blood Council
drive would be held in Princeton,
but she said the Council is work-
ing to encourage organizations to
book blood drives.
We host blood drives almost
every day, Burris said. But they
really slow down in the summer,
so were looking for people to
book summer drives.

Library to host
history lecture
on May 16
The Princeton Battlefield Soci-
ety, the Princeton Public Library
and the National Trust for His-
toric Preservation are sponsoring
a lecture at the Princeton Public
Library titled More Revelations
on the Battle of Princeton on
Thursday, May 16, from 7 to 9 p.m.
in the library Community Room.
The lecture features historian
Robert Selig and archaeologist
Wade Catts, authors of a major
study on the Battle of Princeton
financed by the American Battle-
field Protection Program, U.S. De-
partment of the Interior, titled
Battle of Princeton Mapping
Project: Report of Military Ter-
rain Analysis and Battle Narra-
tive, Princeton, New Jersey.
The study developed a new in-
terpretation of the sequence of
the Battle of Princeton using
GIS/GPS to map the physical evi-
dence in 130 original accounts.
Selig and Catts will be discussing
not only the findings of that
study but revelations and ques-
tions that still remain.
Admission is free.

P
rinceton Theological Seminary
found itself on the hot seat last
week when some questions
were raised concerning eligibility for
public funding of construction proj-
ects at New Jerseys colleges and uni-
versities. The state is planning to
spend a pooled fund of $1.3 billion on
46 campuses, which includes $750 mil-
lion in voter-approved bond issue
money.
Some lawmakers want to know ex-
actly what criteria are being used to
determine eligibility.
The list includes two religious insti-
tutions. PTS is listed for $645,313 to
support a conference center and an up-
grade of its librarys technology infra-
structure. The other religious institu-
tion Beth Medrash Govoha in Lake-
wood, an Orthodox Jewish rabbinical
school is listed for $10.6 million to-
ward a new library and academic cen-
ter. Some legislators are asking
whether its proper for the state to
grant public monies to institutions
that are not open to students of all
faiths. And theres another issue:
While PTS admits women, the yeshiva
does not.
The controversy is being argued
on narrow grounds. Beth Medrash
Govoha would be funded directly from
bond issue monies, which were made
available to religious institutions
through the language of the bond
question that was presented to the
voters. This language was tweaked
to include religious institutions after
lobbying efforts by the yeshiva, The
Star-Ledger reported on March 6. The
PTS application, however, would be
funded through the states Higher Edu-
cation Technology Infrastructure
Fund. State Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-Bergen),
chairman of the Senate Budget and
Appropriations Committee, sees an
apparent conflict with the states exist-
ing rules and regulations in PTS
case.
The Christie administration has
taken the matter under review.
Thomas Jeffersons wall of separa-
tion between church and state, be-
tween private faith and the public
forum, has never been watertight. Nor
should it be, when it can be shown that
religious institutions, like other not-
for-profits privileged with tax immuni-
ty, are clearly serving the interests of
the entire society.
But there may be storm clouds on
the not-too-distant horizon. According
to the Pew Forums recent U.S. Reli-
gious Landscape Survey, Among
Americans ages 18-29, one-in-four say
they are not currently affiliated with
any particular religion.
An astonishing 40 percent of Prince-
ton University students surveyed as
part of 2012 COMBO III identified as
None, agnostic or atheist. No one
would argue that Princetons student
body is representative of their genera-
tion as a whole, but one would be hard-
pressed to argue that they are not rep-
resentative of the rising leadership
field in numerous areas of national
life.
It would be ironic, indeed, if the ulti-
mate casualties of the social and politi-
cal culture wars turned out to be
many of the institutions that insist
upon waging it.

May is National Elder Law
Month. Elder law is an area of
legal practice that serves the sen-
ior population. The bulk of
Rothamel Brattons elder law
work is focused on helping fami-
lies pay for long-term care. Quali-
fying for Medicaid is incredibly
important to millions of families.
However, just as important are
many other areas of elder law
such as financial planning, estate
planning and elder abuse preven-
tion.
Although there are many
facets to elder law and estate plan-
ning, lets just consider three of
the basics that are often on peo-
ples minds.
1.) Do I need a power of attor-
ney? The bottom line to the ques-
tion is, absolutely and unequivo-
cally, yes.
Each and every adult needs a
power of attorney to authorize a
trusted adult to act on his or her
behalf to handle financial, day-to-
day business and medical deci-
sions.
The two main types of powers
of attorney are the general
durable power of attorney and
the medical power of attorney.
2.) How will I pay for long-term
care if an illness strikes? Its not
something you look forward to
thinking about; however, consid-
er that the cost of one year of
nursing home care, in a private
room, hovers around $110,000
(perhaps $220,000 if both spouses
require care) in the South Jersey
area.
Our firm helps thousands of
clients figure out exactly how to
pay for their care and continue to
provide for their family, whether
through the use of private funds,
long-term care insurance or
through Medicaid.
3.) Will my heirs pay taxes
when I die? It depends on a num-
ber of factors, including where
you reside, the value of your en-
tire estate and who receives your
assets. The recent federal law
changes do not make any changes
to the NJ Estate and Inheritance
taxes, and it is just as important
now as it ever was to plan for New
Jerseys paltry estate tax exemp-
tion of $675,000 as well as the New
Jersey Inheritance tax.
These taxes can range any-
where from 4.5 percent to 16 per-
cent.
As with all estate planning, the
sooner you consult with an attor-
ney and map out a plan, the more
money youll be able to protect,
and the more choices you will
have. But, its never too late to
start.
Protect the ones you love. Re-

Tips on finding a place to put
sparkle into the golden years
(NAPSI) If youre ever among
the estimated 65 million Ameri-
cans caring for loved ones, a look
at one famous familys experience
may be useful to you.
Joan Lunden, former host of
Good Morning America, wife,
mother of seven and caregiver to
her mother, Gladyce, was faced
with the challenge of finding the
right senior living community for
her mom. Lunden found herself
completely unprepared for what
was ahead.
As a result of her experience,
Lunden has partnered with the
nations largest senior living re-
ferral service to help educate
Americans on what they need to
know about this difficult, com-
plex process.
At A Place for Mom, knowl-
edgeable and compassionate advi-
sors counsel families through the
process, offering guidance at each
stage of their search. These ex-
perts advise theres no better way
to learn about a community than
to visit. Families should tour the
places theyre considering, to-
gether, to fully gauge if its the
right fit.
What to look for on a visit
Check for cleanliness.
Follow your nose.
Visit during an activity.
Meet the management.
Go outdoors.
Dine.
Ask security and safety ques-
tions.
Check on personal care.
Ask about move-out criteria.
Trust your instincts.

ful tips and further suggestions

ing options, visit www.aplacefor-

Princeton Chamber withdraws
request to lease kiosk
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
The Princeton Regional Cham-
ber of Commerce has withdrawn
its request to lease one of the
kiosks along Nassau Street in
downtown Princeton.
The Chamber has asked the
Princeton Council to table the
issue, which the Council was ex-
pected to vote on May 13. The or-
dinance would have leased the
kiosk at Witherspoon and Nassau
streets to the Chamber for re-
design and renovation, and left
the other kiosk, further down
Nassau, in control of the town.
The Chambers initial proposal
for the redesign of the kiosk in-
cluded paid advertising, which
Chamber President and CEO
Peter Crowley said would pay for
the cost of the redesign and up-
keep.
The kiosks need to be upgrad-
ed, Crowley said. We continue
to hear from the community that
they are disorganized and not
achieving the goals they were de-
signed for.
This raised the concerns of
residents who feared that paid ad-
vertising would detract from the
kiosks, which serve as a commu-
nity bulletin board for residents
to post their own information.
Fliers are often posted on top of
one another, and are difficult to
read.
After several Council discus-
sions, it seemed that councilmem-
bers were headed toward a split
vote on the ordinance leasing the
kiosk to the Council.
We dont want this to be half
against it, half for it, or a vocal
minority against it, Crowley
said. So were trying to figure
out what are the key issues people
are having, and then find ways to
redesign it. Were looking at what
the council said, and trying to
come up with an answer that
meets the needs of those that
werent in support of us.
Crowley said that by asking
Council to table the decision, the
Chamber is asking for more time
to explore avenues of funding
that would take away the need for
corporate advertising.
We want to further examine
the costs of maintenance and up-
keep and see if we can come up
with a different plan, Crowley
said. Our goal is to have a public-
private partnership that does not
make the taxpayers responsible
for the cost. We are a nonprofit or-
ganization, and its difficult for us
to complete and sustain a project
like this without outside fund-
ing.
Crowley said the Chambers re-
design would use most of the ele-
ments of the original renovation
plan.
The design was well-organ-
ized and people liked the design,
Crowley said. Were trying to fig-
ure out how we can provide the
information without utilizing a
lot of advertising, or just get it to
where we dont really need the ad-
vertising. We have to figure some
way to work with volunteer
groups or other organizations to
maintain the kiosks as we go for-
ward.
Crowley said he is hopeful that
a new design and plan will be pre-
sented to Council within the next
few months.
I think well end up with a
great plan, he said. We will con-
tinue to work with the municipal-
ity, the businesses, arts and local
residents in a partnership ap-
proach so we can have a design
that meets everyones needs.

Former Gov. Christine Todd
Whitman decried political grid-
lock and warned against public
disaffection with government
when she addressed a gathering
of the business community on
May 2 during an event presented
by the Princeton Regional Cham-
ber of Commerce.
Whitman told the audience at
the Princeton Marriott, estimated
at 180 people, that many citizens
doubt their governments on the
federal, state and local level.
Whitman cited a Harvard poll
that suggests that young Ameri-
cans are losing faith in their gov-
ernment.
We have got to start demand-
ing, as the citizens of this coun-
try, that our elected officials act
like leaders, she said. I think
far more of them will find that
they get a huge amount of sup-
port for standing up for what they
think is right than they do for just
doing whats political.
Peter Crowley, Chamber presi-
dent and CEO, said he thought
Whitmans comments resonated
with the audience.
Were a regional chamber, not
just a local Princeton organiza-
tion, he said. We draw a very
large membership. It was a great
chance for the region to come to-
gether to hear what she had to
say. In Princeton, we have the
same problems and issues they
have in Ewing, in Plainsboro, in
Robbinsville.
Whitmans comments focused
on the partisanship that she feels
has taken over municipal govern-
ments.
Our democracy works when
we have people who talk to one
another and solve problems,
Whitman said. And when we
have two functioning parties that
work together to overcome obsta-
cles. Its not a crime to reach con-
sensus on issues. Somehow, this
idea of compromise has become a
dirty word.
Crowley echoed Whitmans re-
marks, and said that the members
of the business community un-
derstood her sentiments.
What she discussed is there
needs to be a common ground,
Crowley said. There needs to be
consensus in government. There
has to be compromise. You need
programs that benefit everyone
long term. Elected officials cant
have this mindset of our way or
the highway.
Crowley said he thought the
large audience at the event, and
the five-county reach of the
Chamber, would help the busi-
ness community put Whitmans
remarks into action.
If we come together as a busi-
ness community, we have a much
bigger influence, Crowley said.
We have a great opportunity to
work toward resolving those is-
sues.
Whitman was New Jerseys
first female governor, elected in
1994. She resigned in 2001 to be-
come the administrator of the
Environmental Protection
Agency under the George W.
Bush administration.
Crowley said the Chamber was
lucky to have an opportunity to
hear remarks from such a well-
known political figure.
We have a program committee
that sits down and looks at speak-
ers every month, Crowley said.
Were very lucky to be able to
have really wonderful speakers,
people who can really make a dif-
ference for our audiences.

For over 100 years conventional salt-based water softeners have
stripped out healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium from
water to prevent scale. While effective, salt-based water softeners
have many undesirable side effects including: hauling heavy salt
bags, briny taste, slimy-feeling showers,
health concerns, and flushing thousands
of gallons of salty waste water into our
sewers and our environment.
Former governor addresses
disaffection with government
Special to The Sun
Former Gov. Christie Whitman speaks at a Princeton Regional Cham-
ber of Commerce event at the Princeton Marriott on May 2.
Weve had a really warm recep-
tion from a lot of local businesses.
What were trying to do is pro-
mote awareness that this is an
issue, not just for adoptive par-
ents like me, but its something
that everyone should care about.
Tang and her husband adopted
their sons, ages 4 and 6, from Tai-
wan. They are currently waiting
on a Taiwanese court decision
that will finalize the adoption of
their third son.
In terms of international
adoption, Taiwan is the exception
rather than the rule, Tang said.
Weve been extra lucky and
blessed. I have tons of friends
who are stuck friends who are
adopting from Korea, and getting
pictures every month but not
knowing when they can go get
(the child). I know a family who
legally became the parents of a
little girl in the Congo, but a man
claiming he was an uncle just
came and took her. These stories
are so heart-wrenching. You
dream about that child being
home with you. Its hard for the
parents and its harder for the
kids.
Juntunens passion for adop-
tion reform came later in life. He
began his career as a professional
athlete, playing quarterback in
the Canadian Football League. He
built and sold a successful compa-
ny and retired early.
I got bored with being re-
tired, Juntunen said. I got this
notion that there had to be more
to life than golfing and skiing.
Juntunen and his wife traveled
to Haiti, where, at 58, he became a
father to three adopted children.
The couple also took over an or-
phanage, and began working to
find the children homes.
Juntunen wrote a book about
his experiences. He said the re-
sponses he received from readers
shocked and angered him.
I started to hear from people
whod read my book, who said
they wanted to adopt but had hit
all kinds of roadblocks, Jun-
tunen said. There was some rea-
son why good people who wanted
to adopt a child couldnt. That
was the first of many red flags.
Once the documentary, narrat-
ed by television star Mariska Har-
gitay, was complete, Juntunen
embarked on an 80-city bus tour
full of speaking engagements and
film screenings. The tour will cul-
minate with a march on Washing-
ton, D.C., in May 17 and the pres-
entation of a petition to make
changes to adoption procedures.
STUCK follows Tihun from
Ethiopia, Nate from Vietnam, and
Erickson and Therline from Haiti
on their individual voyages from
orphanages in their native coun-
tries to their homes with families
in the United States.
Were hoping we can make
some sort of impact, and force
this issue in Washington on May
17, Juntunen said. And then
continue to put pressure not only
on our government, but on world
leaders to say that kids should
have a family. Its a basic human
right. We should be working tire-
lessly to make sure that every kid
finds a family.
Tang and her husband origi-
nally wanted to adopt a child
from China, but Tang said the dif-
ficulties they faced made it im-
possible.
They said the average wait
was nine months. We waited a
year, Tang said. The wait was
just expanding. I still think about
China all the time. We didnt get a
chance to adopt from China, but
weve given money to organiza-
tions that work with orphanages
there. I still think about wanting
to help the kids who are still there
in orphanages. There are these
kids out there waiting for fami-
lies, and families here who are
waiting to have kids, and theres a
whole bunch of red tape that
comes in between.
Tang said she thinks that ex-
posing people to the issues associ-
ated with international adoption
through STUCK is the first step
toward making changes.
When you see the faces of
these children, you know that
they deserve to have a family, too,
and to be able to come home,
Tang said. You cant see it with-
out being moved. We want to
plant this seed in peoples hearts
so it becomes an important issue
for them.
