Cranbury Township officials fund municipal operations for 2021

By ANDREW HARRISON Staff Writer

The Cranbury Township Committee unanimously adopted a $12.95 million municipal budget to fund the township for 2021.

The adoption of the budget occurred on March 22. Mayor Mike Ferrante, Deputy Mayor Barbara Rogers, Township Committeeman Matt Scott and Township Committeewoman Evelyn Spann voted “yes” on the measure.

Township Committeeman Jay Taylor voted ‘no’ against the budget’s adoption.

“Why I voted no on the budget was I did not feel we were following sound sound principles.

We are getting close to 400K from the federal stimulus,” Taylor said. “Our surplus is close to and projects to be over 60% of our operating budget. Just as a town can have too little surplus they can also have too much. We must balance the financials so that we maintain the AAA bind rating.”

Municipal appropriations are decreasing from $14.38 million in 2020 to $12.95 million in the 2021 budget.

Cranbury’s residential and commercial owners support the municipal appropriations through a tax levy. In 2021, the tax levy is projected to be $7.27 million, an increase from 2020’s $6.98 million.

The 2020 budget totaled $14.38 million. Residential and commercial property owners paid a total tax levy of $6.98 million to support the budget.

In 2021, the municipal tax rate is projected to be 37.9 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The owner of a home who is still assessed at $605,000 pays $2,292 in municipal taxes.

Municipal taxes are one item on a property owner’s total tax bill, which also includes school taxes and Middlesex County taxes.

The amount an individual pays in taxes is determined by the assessed value of his home and/or property, and the tax rate that is

set by each taxing entity.

On the revenues portion of the 2021 budget, Cranbury will use $1.535 million from the surplus as revenue in the budget. In the 2020 budget, officials used $3.22 million from the surplus funds as revenue in the budget.

Other revenues in the 2021 budget include $1.56 million in sewer service fees, $467,020 in state aid, which is the same amount received in 2020; and $345,045 in public and private revenues.

On the appropriations side of the budget for 2021, the budget will fund appropriations such as $2.52 million on police salaries and wages, $1.12 million on shared service agreements, $781,245 on

employee group health, $485,040 for sewer salary and wages and other expenses, $242,528 roads salary and wages, and $106,064 in aid to the volunteer fire company.

Cranbury’s municipal debt service decreases from $1.96 million in 2020 to $1.77 million in 2021.

The township’s shared services agreements also decreased from $1.27 million in 2020 to $1.12 million in 2021.

Cranbury Township’s budget covers the cost of providing law enforcement through the police department, first aid, shared service agreements such as sewer maintenance and municipal court, road and vehicle maintenance, and maintenance for township parks.

French ambassador to U.S. will join D&R Greenway’s celebration of land preservation The French ambassador to the United States, Phillipe Etienne, will join D&R Greenway Land Trust’s annual celebration of land preservation.

The event will feature Point Breeze, the former estate of Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte, the exiled King of Spain, located in Bordentown.

Point Breeze once drew famous dignitaries from Spain and France, as well as founders and notables of the newly independent United States of America, according to information provided by D&R. D&R Greenway invites the public to join the celebration, which will be held virtually from 4:30-5:30 p.m. May 16.

The recent preservation of the site has drawn media attention from around the world. Surprise speakers will share the importance of this property from the perspective of 13,000 years of history.

Guests will learn of archeological finds and future plans, and historical artifacts that will be displayed in the soon-to-open museum.

The celebration will recognize the presence of Native Americans who lived along this promontory on the Delaware River.

Acknowledging the 60th anniversary of the New Jersey Green Acres Program, a major partner in the land’s preservation, will be the director of the statewide program, Martha Sapp, who has been

The gala’s highlight will be the presentation of D&R Greenway’s premiere 2021 Donald B. Jones Conservation Award to Bordentown City Mayor James L. Lynch, Jr., who will share his thoughts about saving this property from warehouse and housing develop-

ment.

The award is granted annually to a person who embodies D&R Greenway’s mission to inspire a conservation ethic.

“After all my years in Bordentown, I must say preserving this special land feels like a wonderful victory,” Lynch said in the statement. “To be honored by D&R

Greenway with this meaningful award makes it feel all that more real.”

Sponsors of the event will be invited to small, special interest gatherings on the property to meet Lynch and view features firsthand when it is safe to gather in the summer and fall of this year.

Point Breeze today features vistas of the Delaware River and Crosswicks Creek, with venerable trees from Bonaparte’s time.

During the Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte era, Point Breeze was a social, intellectual and political mecca.

Roundtable forum addresses racism, defunding police, injustice

By LEA KAHN Staff Writer

SUBSCRIBE 856-779-3800 ext 3022

Blacks have made some strides in overcoming racism since the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s, but more needs to be done to bridge the gap and to achieve full societal equity and equality.

That’s the assessment of four panelists who spoke at a roundtable discussion on how to make New Jersey an equitable place to live, vote and thrive, sponsored

by the Lawrence Township chapter of the League of Women Voters.

Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson (D-Mercer/ Hunterdon), along with Lawrence Township’s Black Solidarity Group co-founders Kyla Allen, Jayda Parker and Kayla Phillips, offered their views at the April 7 virtual forum. The three co-founders are members of Lawrence High School’s Class of 2015.

The wide-ranging forum touched on racism, police brutality, violence and racial injustices, as well as the significance of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Asked how to reduce police brutality and violence in Black and Brown communities, Parker said police officers need to be held accountable for their actions. The patrolman needs to be accountable to the sergeant, who needs to be accountable to the lieutenant, up the chain of command.

“I think the problem with the police is that racism is deeply rooted,” Parker said.

Police officers are accustomed to handling situations in a certain way – especially older police officers, she said.

Allen, Parker and ReynoldsJackson agreed that change must start with police department training. New police recruits, as well as police leadership, need to take implicit bias training, ReynoldsJackson said.

Allen said the training course to become a cosmetologist is longer than the police academy courses that train new police officers. She asked rhetorically, how is a police officer going to enforce the law if he or she does not know the law? Police officers should have to earn a degree in criminal justice, she said.

Reynolds-Jackson said lawmakers have been discussing the possibility of requiring police officers to be licensed, just as attorneys and health care professionals are licensed by the state. The police have the ability to take a life, she said.

The State Attorney General’s Office also has issued a new set of directives that will keep track

of an officer’s use of force, which can weed out officers who are prone to using excessive force, Reynolds-Jackson said. Police officers have an obligation to intervene when they see another officer using excessive force, she said.

Defunding the police also was raised during the forum. Allen, Parker and Phillips said that it’s not taking away money and police cars from police departments; it’s about reallocating some of those resources. The term “defunding the police” is often misunderstood, Parker said.

While ” ‘defund the police’ is an overall national call,” Allen said, it comes down to reviewing each community and its police department because the needs are different in each town. The resources for the police department in some towns might be “perfectly allocated,” but in other towns, there is no reason why so much money has been budgeted for it, she said.

Phillips said she is “in the middle” on defunding the police.

There is no need for the police to

have military-style equipment.

On the other hand, if a police officer with a “racist” mindset only has a baton and handcuffs, “they will find a way to hurt you,” she said.

Allen, Parker and Phillips said that despite Mercer County’s diverse population, it does not make the county or its residents immune to racism.

“Just because Mercer County is diverse, that doesn’t mean it’s not like anyplace else. It doesn’t mean there isn’t racism. Growing up, you knew which town had a certain reputation – which town not to drive through at night,” said Allen, who lives in Lawrence.

Phillips, who now lives in Trenton, said she is surrounded

by Black and Brown communities, so she does not have the direct contact with racism that she might experience if she lived in Hopewell, Lawrence or Ewing townships.

“I might be comfortable walking to the store with my neighbors (in Trenton), but when a policeman pulls up, I am terrified for my life.

John James Audubon visited his friend, the renowned ornithologist Charles Lucien Bonaparte, at Point Breeze.

The estate was known for its gardens, which Bonaparte opened to the community for public enjoyment.

The Gardener’s House, now owned by D&R Greenway Land Trust, will be restored to showcase exhibits with surrounding gardens. Bonaparte’s gardener, Augustus Mathelin, introduced asparagus for the first time to colonial America, and Bonaparte was fond of artichokes growing in the garden, according to the statement.

D&R Greenway President/CEO Linda Mead worked closely with Lynch on preservation of the property.

“Mayor Lynch joins a distinguished list of honorees who hold a very special place in both the history and future of land preservation in New Jersey,” Mead said in the statement. “As we walk along the Bordentown Bluffs, there is a ‘full-circle’ feeling that is very empowering. To look out and know the Delaware River was named the 2020 River of the Year by American Rivers brings us back to Native American roots.”

Point Breeze is “the place of three kings.” Joseph Napoleon Bonaparte arrived here, having been king of Spain and

Forum Continued from Page 1A in government and the police,” Phillips said.

Parker, who now lives in Princeton, said racism is a “plethora” of things. She said she thought there would be less racism at Lawrence High School because of the diversity of the student body, but she discovered that it was not true.

“You might think somebody might be your ally because their skin color is close to yours,” Parker said. But deep down, that person might not be an ally. Sometimes, it’s about that would-be ally trying to fit in with the right group and not wanting to be friends, she said.

“From my experience at Lawrence High School, the things I dealt with were things that you would have thought I would have dealt with in the South years ago,” Parker said.

On the Black Lives Matter slogan and movement, Reynolds-Jackson said it matters to her because it is an effort to acknowledge Blacks as human beings. It’s about education, jobs, housing, food insecurity and health disparities. Blacks have been marginalized, she said.

“What we are saying is that we are human beings, too.

We want to be represented in this country as an equal to everyone else. We want to have some of the rewards and benefits that everybody else has. We have to continue to

advocate for ourselves,” she said.

But Allen, Parker and Phillips did say Black Lives Matter has become commercialized. Black Lives Matter started in the aftermath of the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012, Parker said. It did not start after the deaths of several Blacks at the hands of police in 2020.

Black Lives Matter has become “trendy” and people are using it too freely, Parker and Phillips said. It needs to mean something more, Parker said. People say it, but they don’t understand it.

“Saying it is obvious,” Allen said. “Our lives matter. Of course, all lives matter, but all lives are not being harmed and killed and being taken away from families at the hands of law enforcement. That’s the purpose of Black Lives Matter.”

Phillips said it is easy for companies to put Black Lives Matter on a T-shirt, or on Tiktok or Instagram. People “put it out there, and they think that’s all there is, just to say it in solidarity.” But its meaning is deeper than that – it’s about mental health, education and health care, she said.

Wrapping up the discussion, Reynolds-Jackson recalled the words of diversity consultant Verna Myers: “Diversity is being invited to the party. Inclusion is being asked to dance.”

Pandemic Stress Leading People to Turn to Alcohol

A

lcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have increased as more people have turned to alcohol to cope with the stress and anxiety associated with the virus, according to recent surveys.

And while with rising vaccination rates there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, feelings of stress and anxiety will likely linger for some time even after life returns to a post-pandemic normal.

This could mean that people will continue to view alcohol as a means to cope.

Drinking, however, is not a healthy coping mechanism. Using alcohol to deal with stress could ultimately lead to dependence, harm your health, and have a significant impact on many aspects of your life.

If you or a loved one is struggling to deal with the mental health impact of COVID-19, help is available.

Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health provides specialized treatment programs for people of all ages who are experiencing mental health issues, substance abuse problems, or a combination of both.

Stress and COVID-19 There is little question that almost everyone has experienced some degree of pandemic-related stress over the past year.

People have feared contracting the virus and have worried about others getting sick.

Social distancing measures have left both adults and children unable to connect in person with family and friends, which has led to feelings of isolation.

Parents have felt overwhelmed juggling work from home and virtual schooling for their kids.

Feelings of loss and grief have been pervasive and a sense of uncertainty about what the future holds has persisted each day.

The stress is real, and it has real consequences.

As the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes, when stress is overwhelming it can cause:

• Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness or frustration.

• Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests.

• Difficulty concentrating and making decisions.

• Difficulty sleeping or nightmares.

• Physical reactions, such as headaches, body pains, stomach problems and skin rashes.

• Worsening of chronic health problems.

• Worsening of mental health conditions.

• Increased use of tobacco, alcohol and other substances.

Increase in Alcohol Use While it is still too early to report definitively, early research suggests that alcohol use has increased in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The American Psychological Association released a survey last month that found that nearly 1 in 4 adults (23%) reported drinking more to deal with their stress.

This percentage jumps to more than half of adults (52%) who are parents with young children between 5 and 7 years old.

Further, a separate study published in December in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that nearly two-thirds of the study participants reported that their drinking had increased compared to their consumption prior to COVID-19.

Moreover, more than a third of respondents reported engaging in binge drinking and 7% reported engaging in extreme binge drinking. Most (45%) attributed their alcohol use to increased stress.

Warning Signs The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults of legal drinking age can choose not to drink, or to drink in moderation by limiting intake to two drinks or less in a day for men or one drink or less in a day for women, on days when alcohol is consumed.

However, even prior to the pandemic, 2

in 3 adult drinkers reported drinking above moderate levels at least once a month.

While not everyone who drinks will develop a problem, warning signs of a disorder, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, can include: • Drinking more or longer than you intended.

• Wanting or trying to stop drinking, but are unable.

• Drinking – or being sick from drinking – interfering with taking care of your home or family and causing problems at work or school.

• Continuing to drink even though it makes you feel depressed or anxious.

• Experiencing cravings or strong urges to drink.

• Experiencing withdrawal symptoms – trouble sleeping, shakiness, irritability, restlessness, nausea or sweating – as the effects of alcohol wear off.

If you are concerned about your drinking or are feeling overwhelmed by stress, talk with your doctor or seek help from a mental health professional.

Princeton House Behavioral Health offers intensive outpatient programs to help adults, young adults, and adolescents who struggle with substance abuse and other mental health conditions. Treatment includes a comprehensive evaluation by a board certified psychiatrist; evidencebased treatment; medication evaluation and management as needed; group and individual therapy; family education groups; and expressive therapies like art and music.

Healthy Coping Tips As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into its second year, it is only natural to feel some level of stress and anxiety.

Rather than using alcohol to help manage those feelings, the CDC offers the following healthy coping tips: • Take breaks from watching, reading or listening to news stories, including those on social media. It’s good to be informed, but hearing about the pandemic constantly

can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and disconnecting from phone, TV and computer screens for a while.

• Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals. Exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Continue with routine preventive measures (such as vaccinations, cancer screenings, etc.) as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Get a COVID-19 vaccine, when available.

• Make time to unwind. Try to do activities you enjoy and that are different from your work or parenting responsibilities.

• Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.

• Connect with local community – or faith-based organizations. While social distancing measures are in place, try connecting online, through social media, or by phone or mail.

n the last week, warnings from several sources were issued about the planet’s future. And along with them came strong recommendations for what should be done.

As a necessary early step, President Joe Biden is scheduled soon to hold a virtual climate summit with world leaders. Its purpose is to reduce emissions in order to increase the hope, and likelihood, that the nations of the world will limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

If they don’t succeed, people around the world will face life-threatening conditions. We’ve seen the beginnings of these threats globally in the last several years.

President Biden’s climate envoy, John Kerry, recently visited China for talks on the issue, and they have reached an agreement to deal with climate change. This could be a very important step, as China currently accounts for 28% of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions; the United States contributes 15%. Unfortunately, China continues to build coal-powered energy plants, despite coal being a leading source of carbon dioxide emissions.

We will have to wait and watch to see what they actually do.

Kerry noted, however, that pretty much the entire world is falling short in reducing emissions. In response, President Biden is expected to announce more “ambitious plans” for reducing our emissions.

But within days of these announcements, the United States National Intelligence Council released its 4-year assessment of where the world appears headed, Global Trends. Its predictions are not optimistic. Washington experts who have read this and prior reports “do not recall a gloomier one.” And the authors of the report are not looking at only several trends, but at all of the major developments in most human activities around the globe.

By the way, the 2008 Global Trends report warned of the potential emergence of a pandemic originating in East Asia and spreading rapidly around the world.

Among the threats are: climate change, aging populations, disease, financial crises, political and governing turmoil, a decline in international cooperation, chal-

lenging technologies or their absence, and a gap between expectations and realities.

While several decades ago democracy appeared to be spreading in many parts of the world, today autocracies are increasing in number. “Strong men” have taken control of many nations.

Possibly the greatest challenge of this sort is China’s dictatorship vying to gain influence around the world, at the expense of democracies and international cooperation, doing so by often ignoring international law and human rights. Perhaps the climate agreement will lead to other ones on a number of issues.

But the Global Trends report raises the question: are governments, global institutions and societies capable of understanding the many threats and responding to them in time? Our country is significantly divided politically and ideologically, and that is the case in many other nations. Political discourse has become “poisonous.”

The internet and associated technologies have allowed the dissemination of misinformation and lies, rendering populations doubting and mistrustful of governments.

As many readers know, segments of our population will not take the vaccinations, extending the threat of and turmoil from the disease. Many of those same doubters disparage reports of climate change, despite verifiable temperature rises, melting glaciers and sea ice, wildfires and droughts.

What to do? Serious talks and agreements, as we see with China, but among all parties, are essential, certainly. Yet a former principal editor of Global Trends, Matthew Burrows, argues strongly that the necessary leadership “has to come from the executive branch. You have to have a driving force to compel agencies to engage in long-term planning.”

We are seeing that leadership in New Jersey’s governor and our president. But in order to adequately, and in time, prepare for that planning, we need at the state, national, and regional levels, the means, the research and resources, and maybe above all, the leadership, to anticipate and respond to trends and challenges such as are now gripping our world.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

2021 Reflections on Earth Day

”People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.” – David Attenborough, steward of the Earth What a perfect time of year this is to celebrate the beauty and the importance of our life-sustaining Earth.

Newly greened trees, the songs of birds, colorful flowers that make us smile, and the rejuvenation of farm fields – all of these miracles create new hope.

This Earth Day, I find myself reflecting on the legacy of people who have cared for our Earth. For it’s in the little things we do every day, the causes we support, and the choices we make in how we live our lives, that we become integral to the Earth’s stewardship.

David Attenborough, Earth steward, declares, “People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.”

Here in Central New Jersey, D&R Greenway remembers hometown heroes from our preservation family whom we have lost this year and whose impacts are longstanding: People like Bill Swain who, as an early trustee, shepherded our first land preservation transactions; Landowner Betty Wold Johnson, who preserved her land to ensure forever-green open spaces in our community; D&R Greenway supporter Jody Kendall, who gave quietly to create special places including our labyrinth and Healing Trail; Princeton Mayor and D&R Greenway Board Chair Phyllis Marchand, who led us all with her legendary energy and flair.

Every name has a story behind it, each inspiring us to do our part.

Without Earth and the people who care for it, where would we be? Yes, we’ve landed on the Moon and Mars.

But Earth is our home, sustaining life as we know it. Let’s use this Earth Day to recommit to its protection – every day.

Tell me – what will you do to celebrate Earth Day? Linda J. Mead President and CEO D&R Greenway Land Trust Princeton

I recently put the 2021 Subaru Forester having a roomy interior and being a “comSport to the test for one week of driving fortable cruiser”.

But, Car and Driver handed the Forestadventure and came away with generally er low marks for having “slow acceleration what I expected.

So, for the base price of $29,395 on the Sport Forester you get a ton of standard equipment. I think, for the money, the Forester offers a good value.

The EPA fuel consumption ratings on this Forester come in at 29 miles per gallon overall – 33 mpg in highway driving and 26 around town.

The EPA estimates that it will cost you about $1,400 per year for run the Forester as it uses about 3.4 gallons of gas per every 100 miles driven.

On the government’s 5-star safety ratings crash test, the Forester scored an impressive 5 out of 5 – the highest rank.

It received a 5-star rating in the frontal crash test as well as the side crash test and 4 stars in the rollover test.

The Forester scored a 6 out of 10 on the EPA’s fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating and a 6 out of 10 on the smog rating.

Peter Perrotta’s On The Road column appears weekly. For questions and comments he can be contacted at p perrotta@comcast.net.

I didn’t find this Forester to be slow, though. Powered by a 2.5 liter Subaru boxer engine that puts out 182 horsepower at 176 pound feet of torque, this Forester is quick enough to handle most driving situations well.

Now, this is not a performance-type vehicle – like a BMW X1 or X3 – but for what it is, I felt it was adequately powered and handled at an above average grade.

Let’s be honest. The type of consumer a crossover like the Forester is going to attract is going to bring to the table a much different demographic than the BMW or Mercedes crowd.

The Forester is for the active lifestyle crowd who have a kid or two and a dog and want to go kayaking in the mountains on the weekend. For that, this is an excellent all-around vehicle and should be high on your list if that is what you are seeking.

The Sport Forester I drove carries a base sticker price of $29,395. It also has an option package for $1,645 and a $1,050 charge for destination and delivery, so the bottom-line sticker price came in at $32,090.

The option package included an upgraded Subaru Starlink 8-inch touch screen multi-media system and a 576-watt

Capital Health and Temple University Hospital Announce Affiliation for Liver Transplant and Advanced Surgical Services

Capital Health and Temple University Hospital have entered into an affiliation for liver transplant and advanced surgical services that will streamline coordination of care and minimize the amount of travel required by patients in the community served by Capital Health. Under the terms of the affiliation, Capital Health patients who are approved candidates will receive liver transplants at Temple, but will receive pre- and post-transplant care and related diagnostic tests close to home at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell under the direction of both Capital Health and Temple physicians.

“Temple Health is a nationally recognized leader in health care and the perfect partner to complement the innovative surgical services offered at Capital Health, such as liver auto-transplant surgery, bloodless liver surgery, and roboticassisted surgery across our service lines,” said Al Maghazehe, PhD, FACHE, President and CEO of Capital Health.

“Similarly, Temple University Hospital patients who are approved candidates will receive their procedures at Capital Health but will receive pre- and post-surgery care and related diagnostic tests close to home at Temple University Hospital under the direction of both Temple and Capital Health physicians. Through this affiliation with Temple, we’re thrilled to provide patients access to the most innovative liver surgery and transplant options in a way that keeps them closer to home and their loved ones throughout their course of treatment.”

“We are pleased to be collaborating with Capital Health on a unique affiliation that will benefit patients from both institutions, said Michael A. Young, MHA, FACHE, President and CEO of Temple University Health System and Temple University

Hospital. “Capital Health patients will now have access to Temple’s liver transplant program, which is home to some of the nation’s foremost liver specialists, and Temple patients will now have access to additional treatment options for liver abnormalities through Capital Health.”

Capital Health offers bloodless liver surgery and liver auto-transplant surgery performed by Cataldo Doria, MD, PhD, MBA, FACS, an internationally renowned hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeon who helped develop these innovative techniques. As part of this new partnership, Temple patients who are candidates for these advanced surgical procedures will be referred to Capital Health.

NM-00455899

Temple University Hospital’s team has decades of experience in caring for patients with chronic liver diseases, including hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease and liver cancer as well as those suffering from drug toxicity or a rare metabolic disease.

Temple’s highly skilled, multidisciplinary team is led by Antonio Di Carlo, MD, CM, FACS, FRCSC, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) and Chief of Abdominal Organ Transplant Surgery at Temple University Hospital; and Lee F. Peng, MD, PhD, Chief of Hepatology and Associate Professor of Medicine at LKSOM, and Medical Director of Liver Transplantation at Temple University Hospital.

As part of the new collaboration, Temple patients with pancreatic cancer who are appropriate candidates will also have access to complex open and roboticassisted Whipple procedures performed

Arts Council of Princeton Artistic Director Maria Evans

L

ike a good neighbor, the Arts Council of Princeton is there – to re-phrase a certain insurance company slogan.

During these past 13 months, the Arts Council of Princeton (ACP), located only a block from my apartment, has been a great neighbor to me – and to thousands of others – by providing invaluable assurance that smiling (albeit behind a mask) is still possible. And key to this assurance policy has been a wall, not a border wall of concrete and electronics to keep people out, but rather an outdoor picture wall of artistic design and inspiring messaging to draw people in.

Although the entire arts council staff deserves a standing ovation, I would like to focus on ACP’s Artistic Director Maria Evans, who for 20 years has been a valued member of the arts council staff and for the past year has been the primary force behind leaving artistic gifts of whimsy and encouragement on Princeton’s streets. With a master’s degree in fine arts, Maria started at the arts council as an office support assistant and instructor; she soon was promoted to administrative jobs (gallery manager, community arts manager), and since 2010, she has been serving as artistic director, a position that allowed her to spread the joy of art to a much larger classroom – the entire community.

The most recent manifestation of Maria’s public art talent are outdoor wall murals and the new exhibit at Dohm Alley. They are pandemic-safe arts treasures that have created and continue to create a much needed buzz of optimism.

When the world shut down in March 2020, Maria and ACP’s Marketing Manager Melissa Kuscin put on their thinking caps and masks and brainstormed how to reach the community in times when no one was supposed to be actually reaching anyone.

“In April of 2020, we started the mask project Sew Many Masks. We invited the community to pick up mask-making supplies at the arts council, make the masks, and then the completed masks were made available at

NM-00455610

the arts council – free of charge,” said Maria.

“Melissa and I felt the need to do more, something bold and positive and uplifting and outside. We were moved by the Black Lives Matter movement – the signs, the posters and most of all the street art that emerged from the awful circumstances of the death of George Floyd. A public art mural, we concluded, would fit our goals,” said Maria, who reached out to then Mayor Liz Lempert for help, because of the mayor’s commitment to public art in Princeton. After looking around town for a big unencumbered surface, “we came up with the perfect location, the Spring Street wall/façade on the Village Silver building on the corner of Witherspoon and Spring Street,” said Maria.

She reached out to Michael Gale, vice president of real estate operations for Genesis Investment Properties, the owners of the Village Silver building with the perfect wall.

“Mr. Gale loved the idea, the Princeton Public Art Committee on which I serve approved the project, and we did our first public mural as ‘Stronger Together,’ the message that we thought was most appropriate for the times. Lisa Walsh, an enormously talented artist, muralist, a set designer at McCarter, and volunteer at the Arts Council, helped with the design and implementation of this message,” said Maria.

Keith Colman of Hamilton Building Supply donated all the Masonite for the job. The building surface was unsuitable for painting, and the arts council had to build a frame and Masonite surface. Hamilton Building Supply also donates materials for the Parklet program, also Maria’s bailiwick, a project of creating cozy outdoor seating in front of a local retailer, who sponsors the space. In the past, a parklet has been at Small World Coffee and Jazam’s, and this year a parklet

was just installed at Chez Alice on Palmer Square.

The next mural that wowed everyone was “VOTE” – that became “VOTED” after the election. In the POW and POP style of pop artist Roy Lichtenstein, the VOTE mural wowed everyone.

The current public art mural is “Love Local” in support of the buy-local movement in the downtown. Since this was painted in the winter, the challenge was to find a day for painting it that was not bitterly cold. The next mural is about to be launched and will reflect spring themes of new life and hope, said Maria.

The walls of Dohm Alley (off of Nassau Street between Starbucks and the former Landau’s shop) are the stage for a brand new public art exhibition that was installed last week and will remain in place through October. Although under the auspices of Maria, the creative force behind this project is the 2021 Anne Reeves Arts Council of Princeton Artist-in-Residence Robin Resch, who is a fine art photographer.

Robin loves the idea of using Nassau Street’s Dohm Alley as the setting for the photographic exhibition, titled “Taking Pause,” because the name is also a desired reaction, for residents and other visitors to the space to take a pause to view her collaborative visual meditation. The art is about the subjects of the photographs – and also the viewers of the photographs – reflecting on objects that are personally essential and irreplaceable to them. The exhibition is based on a three-level approach: the image of the person; the object that the individual selected; and a personal statement about the object.

“The project definitely is in response to the challenges of this year and the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Maria.

And my response to this Dohm Alley exhibition and to the mural project is simply “thanks, arts council, for being my neighbor.”

NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK APRIL 18–24, 2021 At PSRC, volunteers are essential to everything we do, every day.

Even though our programs have been virtual for a year, we still have a highly active volunteer program. We are so grateful for their time and dedication to the seniors in our community.

The compliments that we receive from participants about our volunteers describe their patience, kindness, expertise, and wonderful sense of humor.

There are many volunteers from high schools, universities, and community organizations that help PSRC meet our mission. A special thank you goes to all the Bloomberg volunteers for helping with virtual tech assistance in the Evergreen Forum classes.

We have a brand new volunteer opportunity called Vaccine Navigator. We are pairing volunteers with older adults that are having trouble getting a vaccine appointment. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an email to vaccine@princetonsenior.org.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Save the Sourlands I was having coffee with a friend once, and she said, “I’m not a birder. Why should I care about birds?” I said, “You love coffee, so you must love birds!”

The brilliant scarlet tanager spends winter in Central and South America.

Like lots of colorful songbirds, she spends her winter vacation in the dense shade of coffee plantations eating bugs.

In the summer, she wings her way back to the quiet Sourland forest canopy to lay eggs and raise babies just as her parents did before her.

This year when she comes back to New Jersey, our tanager may not recognize her home. Over one million trees are dying here due to an invasive insect, the emerald ash borer. That’s 1 of every 5 trees! If Ms. Tanager makes her nest in the fragmented forest, her babies may not be safe. Predators will easily be able to find them, because the forest cover will be sparse. If she does begin to raise a family, they may not reach maturity.

The United States has lost 3 billion birds since the 1970s, causing the National Audubon Society to declare a “bird

emergency” to protect the ones that are left.

If you think of a migratory path as a link in a chain, it’s easy to see that every link is equally important. We know that the Sourland Mountain is a strong link.

In fact, the entire Sourland Mountain region is a designated Continental IBA (Important Bird Area). Our region contains approximately 25,000 acres of mature, contiguous forest and 7,500 acres of wetlands. Resident and migratory birds eat bugs and caterpillars that feed on trees and farmers’ crops here: natural insect control.

Now, we would like to point a finger at bulldozers in the Amazon as the cause for plummeting bird numbers, but our link is weakening right now due to ash decline, deer overpopulation and other threats. We all can help make it stronger.

We are all taking active steps to protect and preserve the clean water, fresh air, carbon sequestration and critical habitat that the forest provides for all of us.

This spring and fall, Sourland Conservancy staff and volunteers will be joining our partners to plant thousands of trees! Please participate in a public planting event and plant native plants at home – in your yard or in a window box.

Every native plant helps provide critical food and shelter for pollinators, birds and other animals. Protect our clean water by Legal Notices

It’s time for us to stop building unnecessary helistops and pipelines. It’s time to look around, see what we have, and take responsibility. We must tell our elected officials that we care – and we expect them to care, too. An election is coming up. Please sign our petition on change.org and call Gov. Phil Murphy, your state senator, and your assembly members today to urge them to Save the Sourlands.
