    The Planning Board deniedAvalonBays first plan, for a 280-unit apartment building thatPlanning Board members calledmonolithic, in December of lastyear. After AvalonBay appealedthe decision in Superior Court,the Planning Board and PrincetonCouncil decided to accept a newapplication from the developer.

    The redesign includes 24 studioapartments, 104 one-bedroomunits, 120 two-bedroom units and30 three-bedroom units, accordingto a report from town Planning Di-rector Lee Solow at the start of themeeting. The units are containedwithin two large buildings and

    Princeton, PBA reach new contract agreementBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Princeton officials havereached a new agreement withthe towns Police Benevolent As-sociation that will be approved bythe governing body at the nextPrinceton Council meeting onJuly 8.

    The new contract eliminateslongevity pay for all new officershired after Jan 1, 2014, and dou-bles the time it takes new officersto reach their maximum salary.

    At most departments, it takes

    five to seven years to reach themaximum pay grade, with a raiseeach year, Administrator BobBruschi said.

    The PBA agreed to go to a 12-year step plan, which for us ishuge.

    Itll still pay officers the top

    dollar that their colleagues willget, but it will take them 12 yearsto get there as opposed to six.

    Bruschi said he was confidentthe new contract, which the PBAhas already ratified, representsthe goals of consolidation.

    The goal going into the agree-ment was to structure the con-tract in such a way that we couldbegin to see savings in the shortterm and the long term once wedid our first hiring, Bruschisaid.

    The negotiations with thePBA were extremely amicable.

    We laid out where we wanted tobe at the beginning of theprocess, and they were 100 per-cent on board.

    The three-year contract in-cludes a pay raise for existing andnewly hired officers each year.The first two years, officers will

    see a 1.75 percent raise, and thethird year, 2015, the raise will be1.9 percent.

    We were pleased to be able tokeep the raises below the 2 per-cent cap, Bruschi said, thoughhe mentioned that several officersmay get a slightly larger raise, be-cause the salaries will be roundedup to fit into the established paygrades.

    Bruschi said another big victo-ry for the municipality was theelimination of longevity pay fromthe contract.

    Though current officers will

    still receive a percentage oflongevity pay based on theirsalary and number of years withthe department, new hires willnot receive any.

    Its huge to get it out of thecontract altogether going for-ward, Bruschi said. We were

    able to get them to go to a two-tiered structure, where paymentsare different for current and newemployees.

    The longevity payment, wheneveryone qualifies, is a huge num-ber. Its over $300,000 a year ifeverybodys at the top of thescale.

    As salaries go up, longevitypayments go up. So, by eliminat-ing that going forward, we willsave significant annual money.

    Also included in the contractare language clarifications, andchanges to sick leave guidelines.

    Officers will still be granted anunlimited number of sick days,but they will not be able to usethose sick days to deal with a fam-ily members illness.

    We wanted to reduce and capfamily illness days, Bruschisaid. We of course wont deny

    the officers time off, but it justwont be covered under normalsick time. We werent able to getthat last time we agreed to a con-tact, and we were happy to get itthis time.

    Bruschi said the new contractwill be important to the munici-pality as it is expecting a largenumber of the townships 52 offi-cers to retire in the next fewyears.

    Were anticipating a highturnover within the first fewyears of consolidation, Bruschisaid.

    Well then begin hiring peopleat a whole new set of contractterms, and I think its importantbecause of the potential thatwere going to hire 20 percent ofthe department in the next threeto five years based on theturnover.

    Battlefield Society to appeal IAS decisionBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    A Mercer County SuperiorCourt judge ruled that the Plan-ning Boards 2012 approval of anInstitute for Advanced Studieshousing project would stand.

    The Battlefield Society haslong opposed the development,which would see eight town hous-es and seven single-family homesbuilt on part of the Revolutionary

    War battlefield that the Instituteowns. After the Planning Boardsunanimous approval last spring,the Battlefield Society filed its ini-tial appeal.

    Judge Mary Jacobson deliv-ered the decision on June 19. ThePrinceton Battlefield Society hadargued that the plans for the 15-unit housing development did notconform to a 1992 settlement be-tween the Institute and the Plan-ning Board.

    The appeal asserts that the

    Planning Board approval violatesthe E-2 Zoning limitations definedin the 1992 settlement betweenthe Township and the Institute,which does not permit clusterhousing, Battlefield Society

    lawyer Bruce Afran said in astatement.

    That settlement, the result of adifferent lawsuit regarding a de-velopment in another location,determined that to avoid the con-struction of cluster housing,the Institute must be able todemonstrate the possibility ofbuilding the homes on individualone-acre lots that are not encum-bered by buffers or setbacks orother lot use limitations.

    In this recent appeal, Afran ar-gued the development plans arean example of cluster housing. Inaddition, he noted the historicalsignificance of the battlefield,which was designated one of thecountrys most endangered his-toric places by the National Trustfor Historic Preservation in 2012.

    The appeal also disagreeswith the Planning Boards accept-ance that the historic and archeo-logical features of the site wouldbe protected, Afran said.

    When the appeal was first filedin April 2012, Battlefield SocietyPresident Jerald Hurwitz rein-forced the historical importanceof the site.

    The Institute is still claiming

    that the site did not play a signifi-cant role in the Battle of Prince-ton, Hurwitz said at the time.Gov. Edge, as far back as 1944,recognized that this site was criti-cal to understand the counterat-tack, and his map showing theproperties that were to be ac-quired to become part of the parkincluded this parcel as an essen-tial part of the park.

    The Battlefield Society held aboard meeting on June 26, where

    it unanimously voted to bring thecase to the appellate court.

    Were definitely going to ap-peal, said Kip Cherry, BattlefieldSociety vice president. And weare not appealing Judge Jacob-sons decision it will be an ap-peal de novo, essentially startingagain.

    A de novo appeal means the ap-pellate court will use the trialcourts record, but review theoriginal evidence without yield-ing to the original ruling.

    As I understand it, well have athree-judge panel, Cherry said.

    The Battlefield Society has 45days from the time the judges de-cision becomes official to file thenew appeal.

    Princeton hires privateconsulting firm

    to complete PD review

    Princeton has hired TheRodgers Group, a public safetyconsulting firm, to oversee anaudit of the police department.According to Administrator BobBruschi, Frank Rodgers, presi-dent of The Rodgers Group and

    former deputy superintendent ofthe state police, will oversee thereview. The program, which Br-uschi said would start as soon aspossible, includes four focusgroup meetings with members ofthe department, administration,governing body and community.Officers will also take surveysand participate in an online lead-ership program.

    Bruschi said the contract withThe Rogers Group could beamended to add focus group meet-ings, which he said the townwould likely decide to do. The cur-rent contract is for $11,495, plus$1,000 for each additional day ofmeetings.

    Its not cheap, Bruschi said.But its not a lot of money to dothis, and I think its important. Ithink the process is laid out ex-tremely well. Im hopeful that thisgoes so well in the police depart-ment that we can use some com-ponents of this in the administra-

    tion. I think its got real potentialto help us as an organizationgrow stronger.

    Bruschi said the review willculminate in a presentation to thePrinceton Council. He said thetown and department hope tocomplete the review by the end ofthe summer.

    Council introducessalary, wage ordinance

    for municipal employees

    Princeton Council introducedan ordinance at the June 24 meet-ing that would establish a setrange for all municipal employeesalaries.

    This ordinance provides theranges for the various non-con-tractual employees of the organi-zation, it reads. Employeescompensation is then guided bythe ranges and cannot be abovethe range unless the ordinance isamended.

    Municipal Administrator BobBruschi said officials looked atthe salaries of employees ofneighboring communities whohave similar positions to get anidea of where Princetons

    salaries fall.Were right about where we

    need to be, Bruschi said. Insome cases, were on the higher

    end of the scale.The ordinance divides munici-

    pal positions into 15 wage classes.Bruschi said that when the ordi-nance comes before Council for apublic hearing, he hopes to have acomprehensive list with the spe-cific proposed salaries of all em-ployees.

    In some cases, it will providefor a raise, Bruschi said. No onewill have to take a pay cut.

    Salaries and compensation de-termined by the new ordinancewill be retroactively effective as ofJan. 1, 2013. The ordinance may

    appear on the next Council agen-da for the July 8 meeting.

    Prospective summer interns re-

    joiced last month when a feder-

    al district judge in Manhattan

    ruled that not all internships can be

    unpaid.

    Not only did Manhattan federal dis-

    trict judge William H. Pauley III rule

    that Fox Searchlight studios had bro-ken New York and federal minimum

    wage laws when it failed to pay two in-

    terns who worked on the set of the

    movie Black Swan, he also gave the

    go-ahead to a class action suit sought

    by an intern who worked in Fox Enter-

    tainment Groups offices.

    Businesses have long relied on in-

    terns to supplement their paid work-

    force, with many of these internships

    occurring during the summer months

    when colleges are on break. On the

    surface, Pauleys decision would

    threaten that practice.Dig deeper, though, and one can see

    that it doesnt outlaw unpaid intern-

    ships, but rather seeks to ensure that

    any unpaid intern is actually getting

    real-life work experience, and not just

    delivering coffee.

    Pauley referred to the Department

    of Labors six-point test to determine

    whether an internship can be unpaid:

    It must be similar to training that

    would be given in an educational envi-

    ronment.

    It must be an experience that is for

    the benefit of the intern.

    The intern must not displace regu-

    lar employees, but work under close

    supervision of existing staff.

    The employer must derive no im-

    mediate advantage from the activities

    of the intern, and on occasion, its op-

    erations may actually be impeded. The intern is not necessarily enti-

    tled to a job at the conclusion of the in-

    ternship.

    The employer and intern under-

    stand that the intern is not entitled to

    wages for the internship.

    So, basically, to be eligible to be un-

    paid, the internship must be valuable

    to the intern himself or herself, not

    just to the employer.

    Sounds fair enough.

    After all, cant we just all get our

    own coffee?

    Are unpaid interns over with?A federal district judge may have put an end to the long practice

    Your thoughts

    What are your thoughts on judgeWilliam H. Pauley IIIs ruling on unpaidinternships?

    JULY 3-9, 2013 THE PRINCETON SUN 9

    PHS sophomore publishes his fifth novelBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Kenny Xu, a 15-year-old sopho-more at Princeton High School,knows a thing or two about hardwork.

    Since fourth grade, Xu haswritten four complete, unpub-lished novels, and, last month, heofficially published his fifth.

    The 443-page novel, Trisk, isset in a dystopian future, and cen-ters on a violent, highly competi-tive and wildly popular sport.

    I decided I wanted to writenovels because I just love makingup worlds, Xu said. My imagi-nation runs wild. I love taking theworld and saying, well what if I

    just changed this one culturalthing, one social policy, one scien-tific law? I like taking reality and

    just sort of tweaking it a little.Xu said that when he began

    writing Trisk more than a yearago, he knew he wanted to ulti-mately publish the novel.

    I was committed to publishing

    this from the beginning, Xu said.I think thats something thatwriters need to know. If youre se-rious about getting published,you need to be serious from thebeginning. You need to commit tothat right away, before you evenstart writing.

    Xu said it was often challeng-ing to juggle his commitment tothe novel with his busy schedule.Xu is an athlete and a member of

    several clubs and organizationsat PHS. He said he tried to priori-tize, putting his writing aboveeverything except schoolwork.

    It was definitely easier towrite in elementary school, whenI had 10 minutes of homework,Xu said. One of the lessons Ivehad to learn is how to manage mytime wisely. So every day my goalwas to write a page 600 to 700words and I said, OK, thats my

    goal and Im going to accomplishit no matter what. So at eventsand tournaments I would hand-write the pages. Whatever I had todo.

    Xu said that over the months ittook him to write Trisk, he cutdown on his social life.

    Youre not going to write agood novel if youre on Facebookthree hours a day, Xu said. But Imade my writing this routine,

    methodical thing, and I finished afirst draft in about 13 months.

    Once Xu finished the first draftof Trisk, he attended a confer-ence with major publishers andliterary agents to learn about thepublishing world.

    What I got from that was thatthey werent going to take me se-riously, Xu said. Traditionalpublishers are bureaucratic andit takes a really long time to see

    your book anywhere near a shelf.I decided to self-publish instead,

    through my own publishing com-pany that I sort of just made up.

    Xu did exhaustive researchabout self-publishing. He hired aneditor, cover artist and printer,and is now publishing throughAmazon and another distributor.

    I took pains to make sure thiswas as professional as possible,Xu said. It comes off as reallypolished.

    To finance the publishing, Xugot support from his father as an

    investor. He also did research tofind affordable options, and hireda fellow PHS student to draw thecover art.

    At first I thought all the costswere going to come to over$10,000, Xu said. But this wasbefore I did research about themany traps you have to avoid. Iwas able to get the expenses downto about $1,200.

    Xu said his determination tofinish Trisk and share it withthe world is reflected in the books

    protagonist, Curtis Powell.I put a lot of me in that char-

    acter, Xu said. I mean, hes a lotmore buff, but Ive always been adreamer Im a really deter-mined guy. Trisk, in the end, is anovel about hope, determinationand will.

    Trisk is available in print andelectronic editions through Ama-zon and through direct order atwww.triskbook.com.

    Special to The Sun

    Kenny Xu, a 15-year-old sophomore at Princeton High School, poses with his 443-page novel Trisk,which he published himself.

    The following incidents weretaken from reports on file withthe Princeton Police Department:

    On June 20, a 31-year-oldwoman was charged with stealingapproximately $200 from a co-workers wallet. She was chargedat Palmer Square after an officer

    On June 21 at 2:01 a.m., an offi-cer pulled over a 24-year-oldPrinceton driver who was underthe influence of alcohol. The driv-

    er was arrested, and later re-leased to a relative. She wascharged with driving while intox-icated, DWI in a school zone andother motor vehicle charges.

    On June 22 at 1:16 a.m., policeresponded to a report of a distur-bance at a private club in the first

    block of Maclean Street The po-lice investigation revealed that a26-year-old man had assaulted an-other person with an unknowncutting weapon. The man wasplaced under arrest, transported

    to police HQ and was later re-leased ROR with a pending courtdate. The victims injuries weretreated at the scene by PFARS.

    rest, transported to police HQ andwas processed. He was later re-leased after being issued com-plaint summonses.

    bleeding from his arm. It was alsodiscovered that the man wasunder the influence of a suspect-ed controlled dangerous sub-stance. The man was transportedto UMCPP for treatment of his in-

    juries, and was charged withcriminal mischief and beingunder the influence of CDS. Hewas released ROR to the care ofthe hospital staff.

    On June 25 at 5:26 a.m. the storemanager of Starbucks called po-lice to report that an individual

    By KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Princeton University studentCara McCollum won an $11,000scholarship and the title of MissNew Jersey on June 15, and willgo on to compete in the MissAmerica pageant this September.

    McCollum was competing asMiss Island Resort. The pageantshe won to qualify for Miss NewJersey was the first pageant inwhich she has ever competed.

    McCollum, 20, started a charitywhen she was in high school in

    her native Arkansas.When I came up to Princetonfor college, I didnt have the sup-port I needed to get my charity offthe ground here, McCollum said.I decided to get into pageants be-cause of the platforms. Never in amillion years would I have seenmyself doing anything like this. I

    just got the idea in my head thatthis was how I was going to bring

    my charity to New Jersey.McCollum said that when she

    first decided to compete, her fami-ly was supportive but didnt un-

    derstand her motivation.My parents are the most sup-

    portive people in the world, shesaid. My dad sat me down andwas like, look, I support you, butI just dont get it.

    McCollums platform centerson youth literacy. She plans tospend much of her reign as MissNew Jersey reading to children inclassrooms and hosting eventsthat support her message of giv-ing the gift of reading.

    The Miss New Jersey pageantconsists of four components. The23 contestants took part in talent,swimsuit, evening gown and in-terview competitions. McCol-lums talent was a piano perform-ance.

    McCollum said her least fa-vorite part of the competition arethe chaperones that are requiredto accompany the contestants at

    all times.We have these wonderful

    ladies who chaperone us every-where we go, she said. We cant

    go anywhere by ourselves. Wehave some very masculine securi-ty guards, and then we have thesesweet little ladies whove beenhosting the pageant forever.Theyre so great, but they reallydo have to follow us absolutelyeverywhere. Im sure its just asannoying for them as it is for us.

    McCollum said her favoritepart of the competition was thetalent portion.

    Ive been playing the piano

    since kindergarten, so I guess Ivebeen practicing that for quiteawhile, she said. As far as theswimsuit competition, I justworked out a lot, and I found myevening gown through Facebook.It goes to show how little I knewgoing into it, but I guess I didsomething right.

    McCollum said she has alreadystarted Miss America Boot

    Camp. She is working with per-sonal trainers and doing frequentmock interviews to prepare for

    the national pageant.She decided to postpone her

    senior year at Princeton, whereshe is an English major with afocus in journalism, to concen-trate on her responsibilities asMiss New Jersey.

    I have so many appearancesand I want to be so active, Mc-Collum said. I want to put all myeffort into spreading my messageand really doing a great job.

    McCollum commented on thestereotypes created by televisionshows such as Toddlers andTiaras and Here Comes HoneyBoo-Boo, and internet videos offormer Miss USA contestantsfrom South Carolina and Utahflubbing interview question an-swers.

    Being up on stage is nerve-wracking, and I can understandhow these girls get tongue-tied,McCollum said. And I also un-derstand where this stereotype ofa less-intelligent pageant girl

    comes from. I try to be an exam-ple of a girl who is educated andambitious and also a pageant girl.Sometimes intelligent girls stum-ble and become YouTube sensa-tions, but one of my goals is todisprove that stereotype.

    three townhouse buildings.Discussion at the packed Plan-

    ning Board hearing on June 27centered on testimony from theSite Plan Review Advisory Boardand the Environmental Commis-sion. William Wolfe, president ofSPRAB, said the group felt thenew design is much better thanthe original plan.

    The final vote was unanimousin recommending to the PlanningBoard that they approve this ap-plication with conditions basedon design standards, Wolfe said.AvalonBay has seen these condi-tions, and in many cases wereamenable to working on thosethings and coming to subsequentmeetings with changes in de-sign.

    Wolfes recommendations tothe Planning Board included sev-eral adjustments to the plans asconditions of approval. He recom-mended that several zoning vari-

    ances be approved for the project,with the exception of a variancethat would change the minimumstreet setback distance for thebuildings along Harris Road.

    All the Harris Road residentshave a 25-foot setback, Wolfesaid. To preserve that line, thisbuilding should need to be evenwith the rest in the neighbor-hood. In keeping with the neigh-borhood street, it is also impor-tant that there be continuoussidewalk.

    Wolfe also recommended thatAvalonBay increase its plannedbicycle storage to accommodate aminimum of 200 bicycles. Wolferecommended only one signifi-cant architectural change to theplans.

    We think a major issue is thetwo-story bridge between build-ings one and two, he said. Wefeel that more direct and pleasantoutdoor access is important. Ifthere is a bridge at all, it should

    be well-designed and mostlytransparent.AvalonBay has said it will

    maintain its commitment to en-suring that at least 20 percent ofthe total housing units qualify as

    affordable housing. Wolfe recom-mended the affordable units,which were previously clusteredin less-desirable areas of the de-

    velopment, be redistributed.The units should be on all

    floors and orientations of bothbuildings to the extent possible,Wolfe said.

    Wendy Kazzerski representedthe Environmental Commission,and delivered a report to the Plan-ning Board that agreed the boardshould approve the project, butwith conditions.

    We believe it should be a con-dition of approval that Avalon-Bay commit to recycle 75 percentof demolition and constructionwaste at a minimum, Kazzerskisaid. We also strongly recom-mend that AvalonBay reconsidertheir decision not to provide resi-dents with food waste compostingopportunities.

    Kazzerski said she was pleasedthe developer intended to lookinto green, environmentallyfriendly building materials andmethods, but asked for a firmcommitment.

    We want to ask for a commit-ment to the energy efficient meas-ures that AvalonBay has said itwill evaluate, Kazzerski said.

    Overall, the EnvironmentalCommission felt the redesignedplan was much better than theprevious plan it had seen.

    I want to commend Avalon-Bay for all the green building im-provements it intends to make,Kazzerski said. Its come a longway since the first time around.

    Jon Vogel, AvalonBays vicepresident of the project, saidAvalonBay representatives werepresent at the meetings of SPRABand the Environmental Commis-sion where these recommenda-tions were shaped.

    We were there, and we wereable to absorb a lot of the recom-mendations, Vogel said. Someare being integrated into theplans already. For instance, wehave already redistributed the af-fordable housing units.

    More testimony will be heardat three subsequent PlanningBoard hearings scheduled forJuly 11, 18 and 25. The deadlinefor the Planning Board to act onthe application is Aug. 14.
