Mapping Mercer!MountainLakes

honored byengineers

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Princeton Engineer Bob Kiserannounced at the Jan. 28 Prince-ton Council meeting that theMountain Lakes project was offi-cially completed, and was chosenas the project of the year by theProfessional Engineers Society ofMercer County.

The project, completed in late2012, involved reconstructingthree dams on the 70-acre Moun-tain Lakes Preserve on MountainAvenue.

The project was fairly exten-sive, Kiser said. There are twolakes on the property, and anupper settling pond. The masonrydams on the pond and upper lakeneeded to be reconstructed, in ad-dition to the earthen dam at the

lower lake.Kiser said the project began in

early 2010. The dams were in poorcondition, and the municipalitywas required to begin work to re-place them.

This project took place in ahistoric district, and there was alot of sensitivity to that in-volved, Kiser said. We were in

Task force will study possibilityof expanding local firehouse

By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

The Princeton Council votedon Jan. 14 to create a task force tostudy the possibility of expand-ing the Witherspoon Street fire-house to encompass the adjacentformer Valley Road School prop-erty.

The Princeton Board of Educa-tion put off the decision aboutwhat to do with the school until

after consolidation, and the Coun-cil appointed the three-membertask force to put together a reporton the site.

Task force members Council-

men Bernie Miller and Lance Liv-erman and Councilwoman JennyCrumiller will examine issuesand costs that would be associat-ed with expanding the firehouse.

Expansion would allow for con-solidation of the existing threefire departments within the mu-nicipality. Currently the depart-ment responds primarily fromthe Witherspoon Street firehouse,but also uses stations on ChestnutStreet and Harrison Street.

A citizen group that includesformer township mayor DickWoodbridge proposed that theValley Road site become a com-munity center building with

space for non-profit organiza-tions.

At the Jan. 28 Council meeting,Crumiller was voted onto the taskforce to replace Councilwoman JoButler.

Resident Kip Cherry, a memberof the citizens group that madethe alternate proposal, thankedCouncil for including mention ofthe school on the agenda.

I appreciate the fact thatyouve included Valley Road

School, Cherry said. This isuniquely a community facility.The township had an agreement

Council discusses

meeting agendasBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton SunThe Princeton Council held a

three-hour special meeting onJan. 28 prior to the regularlyscheduled business meeting. Thespecial meeting served as a goal-and priority-setting session forthe month-old consolidated mu-nicipality.

Extended discussion centered

on the way council meetings arerun, and the structure of agen-das.

Council debated the use of con-sent agendas smaller itemsgrouped together on an agendathat are approved by a single vote.

Attorney Ed Schmierer ex-plained the role and purpose ofusing a consent agenda.

Consent agendas are widelyused in other towns, he said.Theyre effective and governingbodies can remove items from

that portion of the agenda andvote on them separately.

Councilwoman Jo Butler saidshe hoped Council would be at-tentive in setting the consent

agenda.I think theres an increasing

demand for transparency and ac-countability, Butler said. Andthats something we need to beaware of. Its important to ensurethat these are trivial matters thatbelong on a consent agenda.

Resident Kip Cherry said shethought the use of a consentagenda could be detrimental tothe community.

It makes it tougher on thecommunity and the citizens toparticipate, Cherry said. Its along list, and we dont alwayshave time to contact a committeemember to pull an item. I knowwere trying to get off on a goodfoot and maintain a higher levelof government than weve everhad before. And with that inmind, I would argue againstusing consent agendas.

Councilwoman Jenny Cru-miller acknowledged the purpose

of the consent agenda, but feltthat the newly created governingbody may not yet be ready to ef-

New Jersey is about one year

away from making history.

For the first time, the Super

Bowl will be played in an open air sta-

dium in a region that is, in early Feb-

ruary, cold. Really cold.

The 2014 Super Bowl is set for Feb. 2

at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.Its home to both the Jets and the Gi-

ants, so, in theory, and perhaps only in

theory, they could meet up for the big

game.

Area football fans have obvious rea-

sons to be excited. The trip up the

Turnpike, for example, is a lot easier to

make than one to Florida or New Or-

leans. Theres just something about

having the big game played in ones

back yard that also gets the blood to

pumping a little faster.

But even if you dont know Eli Man-

ning from Eli Whitney, you should care

about this game. The benefits to the

state are huge.

Most tangible will be the economic

impact. The 2014 host committee esti-

mates that about $550 million will be

pumped into the local economy fromtourism and other game-related activi-

ties. That number could fluctuate a bit

depending on which teams make it.

Local teams might not bring in as

many tourists.

Fans are going to stay at hotels, eat

at restaurants and frequent local busi-

nesses. That not only helps the local

businesses, it also generates tax rev-

enue.Theres also something to be said for

the positive national, and even interna-

tional, attention the game brings to the

region. It can make New Jersey more

attractive, for example, to large con-

ventions and other events that can

bring thousands of people to the state

to stay and spend money.

In any event, were excited about

New Jersey making a splash on such a

prominent stage. It means many good

things for the state.

in our opinion

One year, and countingA year from now, we will be having a Super time

Kicking off

In about a year, the NFLs biggest gamewill take place in New Jersey. Whilethats great news for football fans, itsalso enough to get non-fans excited.The economic benefits associated withhosting such a big event can have afar-reaching positive impact.

The Lewis Center for the Arts Programin Theater will present a unique new pro-duction of William Shakespeares classic

play, The Tempest, performed with actorsand marionettes, on Feb. 8, 9, 14, 15, and 16at 8 p.m. at the Marie and EdwardMatthews 53 Acting Studio at 185 NassauStreet.

The production is directed by theaterprogram faculty member Tracy Bersleyand is the senior project of theater studentLily Akerman, who will be featured in theproduction, with marionettes created bysenior visual arts student Samantha Ritter.

The genesis of the production goes backto a puppetry workshop presented by Rit-ter. She participated in a Princeton Atelier

workshop presented by Wakka Wakka Pro-ductions, known for pushing the bound-aries of theater using object manipulation,puppets, masks and original music.

After the experience, Ritter wanted toexplore puppetry further and traveled to

Prague in the summer of 2011. She re-ceived funding for her trip from the LewisCenters Alex Adam 07 Award, which hon-

ors the memory of a former Lewis Centerstudent by supporting summer arts proj-ects of Princeton students.

On her return she presented a workshopon what she learned in Prague to fellowstudents, who then participated later thatyear in a performance puppetry slam inBaltimore.

Professional designers include sets byJeff van Velsor, costumes by SydneyMoresca, and lighting by Miriam Crowe.Katherine Clifton 15 serves as stage man-ager.

Tickets for The Tempest are $12 general

admission, $10 for students and seniors,and are available through Princeton Uni-versity Ticketing by calling 609.258.9220 oron-line at www.princeton.edu/utickets/,or at the Frist Campus Center Ticket Of-fice.

to use those facilities for a com-munity use since the late 70s. Youhave a profound opportunity toenhance non-profits in the area,and to celebrate the history anddevelop the historic fabric ofPrinceton. Valley Road School isan important part of that fabric.

Once the task force appointedby the Council issues a report,Council will determine whetheror not to present a proposal to theBoard of Education.

The citizens group, known asThe Valley Road School theAdaptive Re-use Committee, wasrecently designated a 501c3 organ-ization. They have proposed rais-ing money to make necessarybuilding updates and repairsthrough donations. Under theproposed plan, space in the reno-vated building would be rented atlow cost to non-profit groups.Many area non-profits have ex-pressed interest in utilizing spacewithin the facility.

We hope well be able to raisefunds to renovate the building,Cherry said. We have received

some donations, but the donatingcommunity feels that there is un-certainty within the governingbody. Thats also true with poten-tial tenants. No one knows

whether the town and schoolboard will provide the building tous.

At the Jan. 28 Council meeting,resident John Clearwater said theValley Road site has been a topicof discussion since his time as anelected official.

When the township occupiedthat building I was on the board,he said. We continuously tried tonegotiate a fair and reasonablesituation where that building

could be maintained and operat-ed in a manner that protected thepublics investment in that build-ing.

Clearwater advised Council toconsider a solution that wouldpreserve the existing structure,as opposed to demolition.

Were not maintaining whatwe have, he said. We do a great

job of building new, but the condi-tion of our infrastructure overallis something to focus on. I thinkthe Valley Road decision is ex-

tremely important to the overallcontext of how this consolidatedtown deals with the public trust

that they have for the mainte-nance and care of public landsand public facilities.

Cherry said turning the schoolinto a community center would

further bond the former townshipand borough.

We would like to see Wither-spoon Street become a culturalcorridor with Valley Road Schoolas the anchor, she said. It wouldrun from the Township to theBorough and tie the two parts ofthe town together.

Cherry said she hopes Councilwill consider expanding the taskforce to include members of thepublic, and turning the issue into

a community-wide discussion.We would recommend that thetask force include public mem-bers from all facets of the com-munity, so the task force gets thewhole picture, she said. What-ever happens, it needs to be col-laborative. We need to have thegovernmental units and residentsworking in the same direction for the good of the community.

fectively use the format.Consent agendas might be

more appropriate for a governingbody thats more mature and hasworked together for awhile, Cru-miller said.

Crumiller recommended that ifthe Council was going to continueusing a consent agenda, it bemoved to the end of the agenda.

If these are trivial things, itwould be better to deal with themat the end of the night when

were tired, and prioritize theother agenda items, she said.

Mayor Liz Lempert suggestedthe Council continue using theconsent agenda, but move thoseitems to the end of the agenda.

With consolidation, weregoing to have a lot of small, trivialmatters to deal with, she said.We agreed in December that wewere going to try the consentagenda for a few months, so Iwould suggest we compromiseand continue using it, but move itto the end of the meeting.

The regularly scheduled busi-ness meeting began about 8:30p.m., and Council passed an ordi-nance establishing a registrationfee for the Curbside Compost pro-gram.

Ive had a lot of people tell metheyre excited about this, saidCouncilwoman Heather Howard.Its a reasonable fee and hopeful-

ly there will be a lot of take-up forpeople who want to participate.

constant touch with the HistoricPreservation Commission to en-sure that we were being sensitiveto and aware of the requirements

of undertaking this project insuch a historic location.Kiser said the original dams

were constructed prior to theturn of the century by the Prince-ton Ice Company.

Prior to refrigeration, thiscompany would cut blocks of iceand store them in barns on theproperty, Kiser said. Theywould be transported by horseand carriage to Nassau Street toprovide residents and businesseswith ice. Its an important part of

Princetons history and the His-toric Commission has a hugeamount of information and pho-tographs.

Kiser said in reconstructingthe dams, the engineering depart-ment partnered with a historicpreservation consultant to con-stantly inspect the work of Com-pass Construction, the contractorthat completed the project.

Clifford Zink, the historicpreservation consultant on theproject, said there was an exten-sive initial investigation into theconstruction of the dams.

We were very careful to payattention and to document howthey were constructed, Zinksaid. We looked at how they werebuilt and used that information todetermine exactly how theyshould be restored.

Zink said the contractor recov-ered a number of stones that hadfallen into the lake, and was ableto harvest the same type of stone

from a vein found on the site.The old stones were found and

put back in place, Kiser said.There was great care taken withthe mortar, and to ensure that thestones were installed in the prop-er fashion. We wanted it to be in-distinguishable from a dam con-structed in this fashion at theturn of the century. If you were tolook at the now-completed mason-

ry dams, youd have no idea theywere reconstructed in 2011 or2012. It looks like work from 100or more years ago.

In addition to the reconstruc-tion of the three dams, the lakeswere dredged and more than17,000 cubic yards of sedimentwere removed to improve the en-vironmental habitat at the site.

The project will receive the2012 project of the year awardfrom the Professional EngineersSociety of Mercer County on

Feb. 16 at the Mercer Oaks Pavil-ion.

The PE Society of MercerCounty is a local chapter of theState and National Society of Pro-fessional Engineers.

Kiser said he believed theMountain Lakes project won thedistinction as a result of the timeand effort that were required torespect the historic and environ-mental significance and impact ofthe reconstruction. He also tooktime to thank an anonymous citi-zen whose donation fundednearly the entire $3 million proj-ect.

I think this is the project ofthe year primarily because of thetremendous care that had to betaken, he said. This is an his-toric district and environmental-ly sensitive area, so we had to ob-tain local and state approval. Thisproject is also very unique be-cause we didnt have funding. Ananonymous donor paid nearly the

entire cost what a gift to thecommunity.

100th birthday, Arlo has em-barked on a new solo tour, HereComes The Kid, which began inOctober 2012 and will runthrough 2013 continuing the cele-bration of Woody Guthrie's im-measurable contributions to thelandscape of American folkmusic.

Since childhood, Arlo was

amazed by the creative genius ofhis father and his friends thatwould drop by: Leadbelly,

Brownee McGee, and CiscoHouston to name a few. Not sur-prising, Arlo drew from those ex-periences and he in turn became

a delineative figure for a newgeneration. Arlo has long paidhomage to his dad with his ownrenditions of Woody's songs, butof equal importance Woody'slegacy is well defined in Arlo'sown works: in his humor, his po-litical and social activism, andhis undeniable gift for story-telling.

Join Arlo Guthrie in honoringthe enduring commitment ofWoody Guthrie with an unfor-

gettable night of music and sto-ries confirming that the folk tra-dition of Woody is alive and well.

Arlo's exceptional solo shows area unique and inspiring experi-ence providing an intimacy withthe audience that is unparal-

leled. Here Comes the Kid cele-brates the legacy of Guthrie's fa-ther in a manner to make anyparent proud: to take what hisdad started, and make it his own.
