Battle of Princeton
Annual
book
festival
nears
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
More than 80 of the countrys
most respected authors and illus-
trators will converge on Hinds
Plaza on Sept. 21 for the eighth
annual Childrens Book Festival,
hosted by the Princeton Public Li-
brary.
This festival is the largest of
its kind, Allison Santos, festival
director and PPL youth librarian,
said. There are other book festi-
vals held around the country that
are bigger, but they are for child,
teen and adult book authors. This
event is specifically to celebrate
childrens books. We dont have
adult authors or sports writers.
Santos said the first festival in-
cluded 21 authors, most from New
Jersey.
At first, it was just the local
authors, she said. Then it
caught on, and authors and illus-
trators began inviting their
Princeton Public Library dance party

Police department
holds Tweet-Along
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
More than 1,500 people
got a look inside the Princeton
Police Department during the
first-ever Tweet-Along on Aug.
30.
Followers of @PrincetonPo-
lice were treated to a 14-hour-
long virtual ride-along that
began with the tweet, Here we
go! Our day starts with a
Sergeants briefing on the
events from the previous
shift, usually about 20 minutes
long.
Sgt. Mike Cifelli said the idea
for the Tweet-Along came from
the Wichita, Kansas, police de-
partment.
Im not reinventing the
wheel here, Cifelli said. Im
friends with the public informa-
tion officer at the Wichita PD,
and they do this all the time. Its
something Ive been thinking of
doing for awhile, and when I
ran the idea by Capt. Sutter he
liked it, and gave it the green
light.
The tweets, most of them
sent by Cifelli, were glimpses
into the calls the department
was responding to throughout
the day, including a motor vehi-
cle burglary, shoplifting, re-
ports of a suspicious person
and several motor vehicle acci-
dents.
Cifelli said he hoped the
Tweet-Along would give Prince-
ton residents a glimpse into the
busy day of an officer.
Basically, the idea was to
tweet about everything from
mundane stuff to emergen-
cies, Cifelli said. The police
officers day has a lot of things
to it, and we want to get that
idea out to the folks were re-
sponsible for.
After Cifelli tweeted about
police responding to a misdi-
aled 911 call, he tweeted a re-
minder that a 911 misdial re-
quires a visit from two officers,
and that police communica-
tions officers handle about 1,000
phone calls each day.
Cifelli included other tips
and facts about the department.
Just after 12:30 p.m. he tweeted,
Part of our job is keeping road-
ways safe, and that means writ-
ing tickets. It doesnt always
make us popular, but its what
we do.
Cifelli said he hoped the
Tweet-Along would help to in-
crease transparency between
residents and police officers.
The thinking is that every
opportunity we get we
should get out there and lend a
little transparency to what we
do, Cifelli said. We want to get
as much information out
there as we can without com-
promising investigations and
while keeping officer safety in
mind.
Since consolidation, Cifelli
said the department has had the
opportunity to begin communi-
ty outreach initiatives. He
thinks it is important for
officers to build a strong rela-
tionship with Princeton resi-
dents.
As police officers, were
members of the community,
Cifelli said. A lot of us have
grown up in town, or have
worked here for many years.
The police department in gener-
al wants to put its best foot for-
ward, and this is part of that
process.
As the shift drew to a close in
the early hours of Aug. 31, the
department thanked its follow-
ers, some of whom had been re-
sponding and retweeting
throughout the day. Its getting
late, @PrincetonPolice tweet-
ed. Thanks to all who support-
ed and followed us today during
the #policetweetalong. We will
do this again soon.
Cifelli said the department
does plan to have another
Tweet-Along in the future.
If the community thinks
this is successful, well certain-
ly do it again in the future,
Cifelli said. Hopefully, it will be
part of a very successful ongo-
ing community relations-build-
ing effort.
Report: Spending on track
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
A little more than halfway
through the first year of consoli-
dation, the municipalitys spend-
ing is on track, according to a re-
port from Administrator Bob Br-
uschi and Chief Financial Offi-
cer Sandy Webb.
Bruschi and Webb gave a pres-
entation to Princeton Council on
Aug. 26, outlining the towns rev-
enues and expenditures through
June.
Overall, the budget seems to
be in a good place, Bruschi said
in the report. While there are a
couple of areas to watch, given
this is the first year of operating
as a combined entity, it appears
that we remain solid in both
revenue collection and adhering
to the budget spending limita-
tions.
Webb said the review is a rou-
tine practice, designed to prevent
surprises late in the year.
This gives us a look at the rev-
enues and expenditures to see if
we see any potential problems
down the line, Webb said. This
is not an extensive financial re-
view. Its a snapshot, but it is in-
dicative of how were performing
overall.
According to the report, sever-
al offices are spending ahead of
the expected pace. It was noted
that, in the beginning of the year,
there were several significant is-
sues that needed to be dealt with
in the Information Technology
office.
This will be monitored and to
the extent possible controlled,
Bruschi said in the report. With-
out sacrificing the need for the
equipment to be in working
order.
It was also noted that legal
costs for the first half of the year
were higher than expected. The
approved budget allocated $30,000
to defense of tax appeals. Accord-
ing to the midyear expenditure
report, $25,000 has been spent,
leaving less than 20 percent of
the budgeted funds for the re-
mainder of 2013.
Bruschi said he does not ex-
pect the municipality to exceed
the legal budget for 2013.
With the changes in the con-
tract and the hope of little future
litigation, I would expect that we
will have sufficient funds avail-
able for 2013, he said.
Town attorney Edwin
Schmierer also told Council
that he expected legal fees to be
lower for the second half of the
year.
I think when we consolidated,
we inherited a lot of legal is-
sues, Schmierer said. They
have largely been resolved, and I
am confident that the legal fees
for the second half of the year
will be significantly lighter.
Bruschi said that while there
were no significant problems
with the budget in the first half
of the year, he was confident that
minor spending issues would be
easily resolved.
Should a problem area be de-
termined over the next couple of
months, we will take steps to
make sure we can cover any
minor budgetary matter, Br-
uschi said. It is presumed that
we would be able to address all of
these areas within the context of
transferring money from one
budget to another. I expect that
this is likely to happen and
should not be construed as poor
budget practice. It should be con-
strued as part of the leaning
curve for establishing future
budgets.
Appropriate authority
divides mayor, council
Princeton Council and Mayor
Liz Lempert are divided over who
has civilian oversight over the po-
lice department. Council voted 3-2
to introduce a resolution on Aug.
26 that would make the council
and mayor responsible for the de-
partment, in a state law-mandat-
ed role called the appropriate au-
thority.
Lempert would prefer the
role go to Administrator Bob Br-
uschi. Councilwoman Heather
Howard and Councilman Lance
Liverman both support Lem-
perts desire to see the responsi-
bility go to Bruschi, but Council-
woman Jo Butler, along with
Councilmen Jenny Crumiller and
Patrick Simon, believe the Coun-
cil should have oversight.
The resolution giving the
Council and mayor oversight will
be heard and voted on at the next
meeting of the Princeton Coun-
cil, on Sept. 9.
Council President Bernie
Miller was not in attendance at
the Aug. 26 meeting, and it is un-
known how he will vote on the
resolution. Lempert has not cast
any votes this year as mayor, but
her vote would decide the out-
come in the case of a tie.
Portable antenna should
improve AT&T service
Princeton residents whose cell
phones are carried by AT&T may
have noticed a change in their
service quality over the past few
weeks, as a result of the cell
phone antenna that was recently
removed from the roof of the for-
mer University Medical Center
facility on Witherspoon Street.
The antenna was removed
from the former hospital building
because developer AvalonBay in-
tends to begin demolition on the
site in anticipation of the con-
struction of 280 housing units.
To compensate for the decline
in AT&T service, a cell on wheels,
or COW, was activated on Aug. 29.
The COW currently sits on a
truck parked next to the Prince-
ton Department of Public Works
building on Valley Road. Munici-

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.

T
welve years have passed since
the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on
New York City and Washing-
ton, D.C.
Thats hard to believe.
Its hard to believe that it was 12
years ago that this country changed
forever.
Its hard to believe that it was 12
years ago that so many innocent lives
were lost.
Its hard to believe how much our
lives have changed in those 12 years
how heightened security at public
places, especially airports, is expected
and openly accepted; how a persons
privacy is not always private; how
farewell and welcome home celebra-
tions for servicemen and women seem
to be commonplace.
There are so many other examples
to mention of how our lives have
changed since that fateful day 12 years
ago.
Here we are, more than a decade
later, with 9/11 as a memory for all of
us who lived it, and a history lesson
for those who didnt.
Twelve years later, we should all be
proud of the way we are remembering
and honoring those who lost their
lives that day as well as their families,
and also the servicemen and women
and their families who so bravely
have volunteered to serve this country.
In addition to annual memorials put
on at the national level, local commu-
nities are playing a large part, too. Our
community, and others around us, are
setting up 9/11 memorials, obtaining
steel from the World Trade Center to
display and hosting 9/11 remem-
brances.
We should all be proud of ourselves
and our fellow citizens. But we should
not stop here just because we have
done well so far.
We should never forget what hap-
pened 12 years ago. We should always
respectfully pause and respect those
who were taken from us and those
who fight for our freedom.
And we should ensure that those
who werent alive 12 years ago, or were
too young to remember, are taught
about what happened that day, and
how it will continue to affect our lives
and theirs.
We will never forget.
We will never forget
Twelve years later, we continue to remember those lives lost on 9/11

Reader: Military action against
Syria would be dangerous
The drumbeat for U.S. military action
against Syria for alleged chemical weapons
use seems to be growing every day. This
would be unwise, ineffective and danger-
ous, and I urge everyone to contact his or
her elected officials to oppose it.
First and foremost, Syrias chemical
weapons use is still not independently veri-
fied. Dr. Hans Blix, who led U.N. inspections
for weapons of mass destruction before the
Iraq war, told me that he pleaded with then-
President George W. Bush to wait just two
more months for his team to finish inspec-
tions.
Bush refused, and a war justified in large
part by alleged WMD was started. Only
later, after the war, did a team confirm that
Iraq never had the alleged WMD. We must
oppose starting a war based on unverified
allegations.
Second, Syria is in a very messy civil
war, and, as chairman of the Joint Chiefs
Gen. Dempsey has said, there is no military
action by the U.S. that can solve that. A
diplomatic surge to pursue the internation-
al peace conference for which Secretary
Kerry earlier gained Russias backing
makes much more sense, and holds the
only real promise for a peaceful resolution.
Moreover, if we do hurt the Assad
regime militarily, rebels, including Al
Qaida, might gain the upper hand. More
U.S. military action in the currently very
unstable Middle East could re-ignite hatred
toward the U.S. and possibly trigger more
terrorist attacks. Already, Iran is warning
of just such attacks, and their allies in
Hezbollah have numerous missiles a short
distance from Israel.
Finally, besides starting negotiations
with all sides in Syria, another strong ac-
tion the U.S. and its allies could pursue if
U.N. inspectors confirm chemical weapons
use by Syria is to bring charges against
the Assad regime in the International
Court of Justice. War criminals are now
being successfully tried and convicted, and
that seems a much better way to seek ap-
propriate punishment.

456-1111 and Capitol switchboard to reach

Rev. Robert Moore
friends and peers. The reputation
of the festival grew and grew, and
with it so did the size. Now Im ac-
tually turning people away, be-
cause we just dont have the
space.
The festival is open to the pub-
lic, and parents are invited to
bring their children to meet the
authors of their favorite books.
Theyre really wonderful role
models, Santos said. And espe-
cially for little kids, these are
their rock stars. The authors love
meeting their fans and talking to
the kids. I think its important for
the authors to be in touch with
their readers, and its also impor-
tant for the kids to look at these
people and realize that theyre
real.
Each author or illustrator will
have a table on Hinds Plaza dur-
ing the festival, which lasts from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be 30
presentations from authors.
Some do readings from their
books, and some do demonstra-
tions of their art, Santos said.
Its incredibly interesting to
hear what the authors have to say
about their books and their cre-
ative process.
To be invited to the festival, an
author must have a new book re-
leased in the last calendar year,
and must be published with a
major publishing house.
Santos said
one of the
highlights
of this
years festi-
val would be
a presenta-
tion from
Newbery
Medal winner
Avi.
He is just
huge, Santos
said. Hes so
amazing, and
Im really look-
ing forward to
hearing him
speak in Prince-
ton.
The poster for the festival was
designed by illustrator John
Rocco, best known for his work on
the covers of the Percy Jackson
and the Olympians series.
The fact that John Rocco did
our artwork this year really
speaks to how much the reputa-
tion of the festival has grown,
Santos said. Hell be speaking,
too. Ive heard him speak and hes
so witty and just fabulous. He will
be a lot of fun to listen to.
Santos said the festivals suc-
cess can be attributed to the
Princeton communitys support
of library programs.
This community is so sup-
portive of the library in general,
Santos said. We often
say that the library is
the communitys liv-
ing room, and it real-
ly is true. All of the
programming we do
here is so well at-
tended we had
over 1,500 kids in
our summer read-
ing program this
year. It doesnt sur-
prise me that the
book festival is so
well attended. We
expect to see be-
tween 3,500 and
4,000 people
come through the
plaza throughout the day.

val is available at http://commu-

By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Since Superstorm Sandy hit
the area just more than 10 months
ago, the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency has doled out
millions to states and municipali-
ties to aid in cleanup costs.
According to information re-
cently released by FEMA, the mu-
nicipality of Princeton has re-
ceived $237,318 in three separate
payments.
In addition, the Princeton Re-
gional School District received
one FEMA payment of $12,320,
and the Princeton University
Board of Trustees received seven
payments totaling $394,127.
As hurricane season approach-
es again, Mercer County has been
given a $125,000 grant toward haz-
ard mitigation programs that will
decrease the damage done by fu-
ture natural disasters.
The state of New Jersey ad-
ministers the annual Hazard Miti-
gation Grant Program, Michael
Boonin, Mercer County deputy di-
rector of communications, said.
The plan is basically a wish list
of towns hazard mitigation proj-
ects what they would do if they
were able to obtain federal money.
Based on previous costs associat-
ed with a countywide plan that in-
cludes all municipalities, the
amount of $125,000 was requested
as an estimated budget.
Boonin said the money would
be considered during an update of
the Hazard Mitigation Plan made
necessary by Superstorm Sandy.
The Mercer County Office of
Emergency Management will be
working with consultants to re-
vise Mercer Countys Hazard Mit-
igation Plan and submit it for
FEMA approval and municipal
adoption, Boonin said. The
money and the plan helps the
county and its municipalities pre-
pare for future disasters.
Boonin also said the municipal-
ities had to have a FEMA-ap-
proved plan to be eligible to re-
ceive additional funding.
The updating and recertifying
with FEMA of the countys Haz-
ard Mitigation Plan is a compli-
cated and important project,
Boonin said. If the county and
municipalities do not have an ap-
proved Hazard Mitigation Plan,
the municipalities are not eligible
to participate in any federal grant
programs relating to prepared-
ness.
Boonin feels the Hazard Mitiga-
tion Plan will help Mercer County
municipalities such as Princeton
receive federal grants for specific
mitigation projects related to Su-
perstorm Sandy.
The county created the Haz-
ard Mitigation Plan on behalf of
the towns so theyre eligible for
funding, Boonin said. Its a cost-
ly and time-consuming process,
and difficult for the towns to do on
their own.
Upcoming projects in Prince-
ton may concern municipal offi-
cials review of changes to
FEMAs flood hazard maps. The
present maps, which date to the
mid-1980s, show the Princeton
properties that are within the 100-
year flood plain, the portion of a
property that may be flooded by a
stream or tributary.
In addition to reviewing the
changes to FEMAs maps, in the
next few weeks there will be a lot-
by-lot review of Princeton proper-
ties that back up to streams and
tributaries such as the Stony
Brook and Harrys Brook.

pal officials reached an agree-
ment with AT&T that will allow
the COW to remain by the Public
Works building while AT&T de-
termines where it will install a
permanent antenna. The process
could take at least a year, accord-
ing to municipal engineer Bob
Kiser.
Kiser also said that AT&T was
examining the possibility of in-
stalling an antenna on top of the
municipal building at 400 Wither-
spoon St. The installation would
provide the same service current-
ly being provided by the COW,
and would not be visible atop the
building from the street.
Organization threatens
to sue municipality
American Atheists, a non-prof-
it dedicated to protecting the civil
rights of atheists and advocating
for the complete separation of
church and state, has threatened
to sue Princeton if the municipal-
ity proceeds with plans to erect a
9/11 memorial that features a
piece of steel from the World
Trade Center.
Part of the steel has a cutout in
the shape of a cross.
American Atheists attorney
Bruce Afran called the cross
grossly offensive in a letter to
the editor of The Times of Tren-
ton.
Princeton Deputy Fire Chief
Roy James, who acquired the 11-
foot long steel beam several years
ago, explained that the cross was
cut into the beam before it ar-
rived in Princeton.
James said that hiding the
cross would be like pretending a
victim of the terrorist attacks did
not exist.
At present, the beam is being
stored at the Princeton fire sta-
tion on North Harrison Street
while municipal officials try to
determine where to place the
monument.

The following reports were is-
sued by the Princeton Police De-
partment:
On Aug. 26 at 1:11 p.m., while
conducting an investigation into a
report of harassment, one of the
involved parties was found to
have outstanding warrants, total-
ing $390, out of Princeton Munici-
pal Court. The man was placed
under arrest, transported to po-
lice HQ and was processed. He
was later released.
On Aug. 27 at 10:35 p.m., during
a motor vehicle stop, it was deter-
mined that a 59-year-old woman
had consumed alcoholic bever-
ages prior to operating her vehi-
cle. The woman was placed under
arrest and transported to police
HQ where she was processed and
later released to a relative.
In addition to being charged
with DWI and Refusal, the woman
was charged with reckless driving
and failure to keep right.
On Aug. 27 at 9:07 a.m., police
were notified by the courts that a
34-year-old man was in violation
of a court order and that he was
wanted on a $5,000 warrant as a
result. The man was located at his
residence and was placed under
arrest, transported to police HQ
and processed. He was later re-
leased after posting bail.
On Aug. 28 at 5:12 p.m., a caller
reported to police that sometime
between 4 p.m. on Aug. 22 and the
time of the call, an unknown per-
son damaged a full-sized soccer
goal located at the Community
Park fields. The damage is esti-
mated at $2,000.
