LEADING OFF Public art in the spotlight

T

he Princeton University campus and surrounding town are the sites of several new and upcoming works on public art.

One not-so-new work on the Princeton campus, prominent American architect and artist Maya Lin’s “The Princeton Line,” will be joined by the second part of Lin’s campus installation, “Einstein’s Table,” on Tuesday, November 5. Lin will discuss her site-specific artworks during a public program that evening at 5 p.m. at the university’s Richardson Auditorium Tickets are required.

“The Princeton Line,” installed in 2018 near the Lewis Art Complex, is one of Lin’s series of earth drawings, outdoor earth sculptures that meld two-and three-art practices and space.

Its name memorializes the former Dinky train line that once extended nearby.

The 2019 “Einstein’s Table” is an 11foot diameter granite “water table” with an elliptical shape to recall the Earth’s solar orbit, subtle white stone reminiscent the Milky Way in the night sky, and a design that pays homage to onetime Princeton resident Albert Einstein and his theory on black holes. artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/134355.

N

earby, just north of the Dinky Bar and Kitchen, a colorful, abstract form has risen from a lawn there. It is British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare’s “Wind Sculpture (SG) IV,” on loan from a private collection through May, 2020.

The 23-foot sculpture is made of hand-painted and glass-reinforced polyester supported by a steel armature, but the materials give the appearance of a textile blowing in the wind.

The coloring is rooted in the patterns of Indonesian-style batik cloth, which, for the artist, symbolizes the ways textiles transmit culture through economies of trade, colonial enterprise and migrating or traveling bodies.

A

cross campus, Walter Hood’s 39-foot-tall “Double Sights” was unveiled in October in Scudder Plaza, outside the Woodrow Wilson School.

The installation, two pillars leaning against each other, is inscribed with quotations by Wilson and his critics. The piece was intended to provide a complete view of the former president’s legacy, both his positive accomplishments and the ugly racism that has led Princeton students and others to demand his name be removed from the school. The problem, as many who have tried to inspect the sculpture have noted, is that, as the pillars tower well above eye level, many of the words are near-impossible to read.

O

n Springdale Road just before the Institute for Advanced Study’s housing starts, a 30-foot stretch of a plain wooden fence is now the site of an eco relief mural, “Life Along Springdale Road,” by Mary Waltham. The Princeton resident used entirely found materials from the nearby Institute woods.

“We’re maintaining the character of the neighborhood,” said planner McManus during her testimony. “This is not a major expansion of the theological seminary.”

And why is this so important to PTS? On June 5 the Princeton Theological Seminary and the Overseas Ministries Study Center (OMSC), which is currently based in New Haven, signed a memo of agreement under which OMSC will relocate to Princeton next summer.

just two non-residing additional staff.)

OMSC is then scheduled to become a full part of PTS in 2022.

OMSC already has a New Jersey connection. It was founded in 1921 in the Jersey shore town of Ventnor-By-TheSea. Known then as “Houses of Fellowship,” it provided rest and renewal for missionaries after long and sometimes arduous postings abroad.

The organization eventually filled the need for scholarly work on Christian missionary tradition and activities.

In 1950 it established a journal that, as the International Bulletin of Mission Research, is still published. In 1967 it took its present name of the Overseas Ministries Study Center.

Slavery revisited

P

rinceton Theological Seminary has remained very much in the news. On October 18, the seminary announced that its board of trustees had “unanimously endorsed the implementation of a multi-year action plan to repent for its ties to slavery.”

An historical audit determined “that the Seminary did not own slaves and its buildings were not constructed with slave labor.” However, some of its founders “used slave labor at some point in their lives,” and the school “benefited from the slave economy” via investments in south-

OMSC will continue to run its research and publications as well as an artist-in-residence program. Its collection of Asian Christian artwork will also be publicly displayed at the seminary.

In a statement announcing the PTSOMSC memo of understanding, seminary president M. Craig Barnes said, “The center’s residents and programs will enrich our community and deepen our students’ understanding of world Christianity.”

As noted, the coming of OMSC to Princeton is not part of the PTS campus downsizing and renewal plans. However, that much greater project is a proactive response to declining seminary enrollments nationally. So perhaps there is a commonality. OMSC’s integration into PTS may herald a trend in which religious academies, large and small, will benefit not only from fellowship but formal joining as well.

Zoning Board updates

I

n addition to the seminary’s case the Zoning Board heard four additional applications at its October 23 meeting.

21 Battle Road, Albert E. and Jenny G. Internoscia, owners and applicants, sought D4 and C1/C2 for FAR, lot area, height to setback ratio, impervious coverage ratio, length of front facade,

ern banks pre-Civil War and donations from patrons who had profited from slavery.

In response, the Seminary is instituting a multi-point program that will include scholarships and doctoral fellowships for descendants of slaves or from underrepresented groups; hiring a full-time director for the Center for Black Church Studies and naming the center in honor of Princeton-born Betsey Stockton (who was freed from enslavement and became a missionary to what is now Hawaii); plus initiatives to establish partnerships with “historically disenfranchised communities in and around Princeton.” and the distance permitted between the openings of a U-shaped driveway to permit the construction of a new home and secondary residence. The application met with strong resistance from a dozen neighbors present at the meeting and was continued to December 11.

Three additional applications were approved: 186 Birch Street, Robert and Margaret Miller, owners; and Carlo Balestri, AIA, applicant. D4 variance for FAR to permit the installation of a roof and skylights over an open interior courtyard.

96 Fleming Way, Vaibhav Narayan and Shalini Chaturvedi, owners and applicants. D4 variance for FAR to permit the enclosure of an existing open front entry.

884 Princeton Kingston Road, Vijaya V. Kethireddy, owner and applicant. C1 variance to permit the development of a single-family dwelling on a non-conforming lot. The subject lot is smaller than the required lot area. C2 to permit and exception to the required height to setback ratio on the two side yards.

The next Zoning Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 13.

dam Bierman is running for Princeton Council as an independent. He previously ran as a Democrat but chose not to participate in the Princeton Community Democratic Organization’s nominating process. He is competing for one of two open seats against Democrats Mia Sacks and Michelle Pirone Lambros.

There are no Republican candidates.

The Echo offered Bierman the opportunity to respond to the same questions that were posed to the Democratic candidates in advance of the primary election (The Echo, June 2019). Election day is Tuesday, November 5.

Background: Tell us where you are from originally, your academic and professional background, your age, and when and why you moved to Princeton.

I am a native Princetonian. Graduated from PHS in 1978 and received an BA and MA in international affairs and public policy from Rutgers.

Family: Identify your spouse or significant other and their occupation or employer. If you have children please give their ages and what school they attend.

I am married with a daughter who just started college. My wife is originally from Ecuador and works at the charity clinic at Princeton Hospital.

Before I came back home, in the 1990s, I worked in El Salvador, Ecuador, and Taiwan. Currently I work as a teacher at a state-run program for young teen moms in Trenton. The site offers daycare for their kids and the goal is to give the young women the stability/support needed to get their HS diploma. I also produce/“star” on two shows on Princeton TV. Community involvement: What activities or organizations have you been involved in that relate to the local community? What caused you to first get involved? Why are you running for council?

Breakfast • Lunch • Dinner •

Meet the candidate: Adam Bierman

Past: • Treasurer for the Princeton Democratic Municipal Committee (PDMC). I served on PDMC since 2009. But, I was recently told by the PDMC chair, “as she was in charge, I would never be on the PDMC again.” I do appreciate the inadvertent honesty.

• Candidate for Princeton Council 2018.

• I have applied to be on council committees twice but have not been appointed.

Currently: • Communications Worker of America (CWA) 1033 Shop Steward I have kept membership retention at 97 percent in my building.

• Producer and host of two shows on Princeton TV. • D 13 Neighbor activist. In that capacity I am working to implement the Neighborhood Buddy Program spearheaded by Sustainable Princeton’s Jenny Ludmer and Councilman David Cohen. The idea is to encourage residents to look out for a neighbor or neighbors who might be vulnerable, ensuring they are safe during an emergency • Played a small part in reducing the bloated, ill-conceived $137 million school referendum to $27 million I am running because I have the time and the energy to do the job. Because I felt it was an opportunity and the time for me to step in and help with the shifting standards/expectations of Princeton, to help intelligently/proactively as we continue to transition from being a small town to a consolidated, metro focus destination, with all the issues of expanding nonprofits, stress on infrastructure, affordable housing requirements, and governmental scandals.

I love meeting people, learning about issues, and forming policy, and breaking down the shifting complexities of policy, process, and politics is never Princeton boring. Soup & Sandwich Parking: Many residents and business

owners have expressed concerns about the new parking meters downtown. Do you think the new system is working? If not, what changes should be made?

The council new parking meter rollout was less than stellar. No pilot program, dismissing input from merchants on pricing, the meters not being delivered on time, all these factors adding a deficit to the town’s budget. Council, reactively, finally listened to the public and the merchants on suggestions on pricing, grace period, hours one can park, using loading zones, etc. Now we can look at the treasure drove of data from the meters to discover our breakeven point, learn more about the ebb and flow of traffic and how to redirect it, nuisance and flexibility with pricing.

Harder to quantify is first-time visitors to Princeton who no longer plan to return because parking was such an exasperating experience. Until we know those numbers it is hard to give a definitive answer/plan.

income families? If so, how should Princeton address that need?

We must get zoning right. Zoning drives the direction a town grows. We need the ability to construct motherin-laws apartments, auxiliary apartments; so, the cost of the land (property taxes) can be shared. It is the only way we can hold on to the middle-class, teachers, police, firefighters, people making “only $75,000 a year,” seniors on fixed incomes, etc. Some neighborhoods could be rezoned for mixed use/ decouple the need for cars; that way residents can work and socialize in their neighborhoods.

Laugh, learn, and live at Princeton IYCC

I

n three short years, Princeton Integral Yoga Community Center, centrally located at the Princeton Shopping Center, 301 North Harrison Street, Building A, Suite 1E, has become a vibrant, inclusive space that is a true community that learns, laughs, and lives the true union that is at the heart of yoga.

Founder and Director Jayadeva stresses, “Yoga is so much more than poses and chants. It means service, work, and intellectual engagement.

It means achieving that single-minded state, where you are completely subsumed into the moment. Remember how it feels to become totally engrossed in a compelling book, or completely concentrated in a sport?

Time disappears and it’s blissful.

Now, imagine that in living your life every day. Our mission is to give our members control over the stress of mind-chatter, the voices that scatter and distract us, disturbing our innate peacefulness.”

“We are not just a studio but a Yoga Community Center. A place where people can take yoga classes, join

group meditations, explore the rich Namarupa Library while enjoying some tea and snacks, participate in the Enlightened Readings Book Club or the Bhagavad Gita Study Group.

Enjoy Kirtan Chanting and Drumming or the monthly JourneyDance, Ecstatic Dance and Dance Live gatherings.

We offer Aerial Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Kids Yoga, and many different classes to suit every need for all ages and levels,” says Jayadeva.

“We are a 501(c)(3) service organization and are excited about celebrating our third anniversary on Saturday, November 16.

Through the generosity of the Momo brothers’ support, there is a fundraising luncheon event at Eno Terra from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m., which will feature a delicious vegetarian feast, wonderful Shakuhachi performances

Princeton Integral Yoga Community Center is dedicated and operated exclusively for charitable, educational and spiritual purposes. Its primary purposes are to provide a supportive environment for all who are interested in spiritual development; to exemplify the precepts of truth, compassion, love, joy, and charity; to bring to the community living examples and great teachers of these spiritual precepts and practices; to be of service to the community.

Testimonials from people who have benefitted from the wide-ranging services of Princeton IYCC say it all. Priyanka Rao, a new mom with twins, comes to IYCC every day. “I needed a way to get myself back in

shape. When I was looking for a class, I found that many studios were too impersonal. Princeton IYCC gives me a community that welcomes family and gives me solace across dimensions. They encourage me to bring the babies. Going to the center is my favorite time of day.” Kate Wood, a long time Princeton professional, more senior than Priyanka, echoes these sentiments. “I feel strong inside and out thanks to IYCC and its embracing community of teachers and students.

How could anyone be so lucky?”

Princeton’s climate crusade

By Michele Alperin

P

rinceton has no oceans to flood its streets and no forests where wildfires can burn out of control, but it is not immune to the consequences of climate change. But if Christine Symington gets her way, the town will be doing all it can to mitigate those effects.

Symington is the program director of Sustainable Princeton, the organization behind the 97-page Princeton Climate Action Plan, unveiled in July, featuring detailed explanation, goals, and proposed actions. The plan offers a roadmap to reducing the town’s carbon emissions as measured in 2010 by 80 percent in 2050, while continuing to look for strategies to reach 100 percent.

The mandate to create this plan grew out of the town’s goal setting process in 2017, and Mayor Liz Lempert and the Princeton Council gave the job to Sustainable Princeton, an organization already researching options for offsetting climate change.

Sustainable Princeton, whose mission is to “inspire our community to develop and implement solutions that positively impact our environment,” understood that to reduce community

emissions not only did the government need to be on board, but also businesses, nonprofits, and individual residents.

Before tackling climate change, Symington says, “we had to do an inventory so we knew what our collective emissions are and could set a target to try to reduce emissions by some date in the future.” Following a protocol used by cities around the world to measure emissions, Sustainable Princeton learned that two sources combined to produce most of

Buildings and transportation combine to contribute 94 percent of Princeton’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Princeton’s emissions: residential and commercial buildings, which consume electricity and burn natural gas, contribute 64 percent of Princeton’s greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation contributes 30 percent.

The development process, which kicked off in 2017 with a $100,000 grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foun-

dation was shaped, by “engaging the actors that are critical to carrying it out — so that they feel vested in the successful implementation of the plan,” Symington says. The plan’s actions came out of working groups each focused on one of five sectors: energy, land use and transportation, natural resources, materials management, and resiliency.

The plan opens with a review of climate science and the likely impacts on Princeton: more frequent days of high heat; increases in average temperature, heat-related illnesses, and tick-, mosquito-, and water-borne diseases; heavier rains; decline in outdoor air quality; potentially longer dry spells; and impacts on mental health and well-being.

For each sector the plan offers a visionary statement, then sets out “why it matters,” examines progress to date, and lists objectives. Each objective comprises a list of actions, along with their potential for reducing greenhouse gas, the time frame for implementation, leaders and partners, and other details. Finally, the plan sets key performance indicators and targets for completing them, as well as listing national, regional, and state policies, programs, plans, and initiatives that may enable Princeton to meet the plan’s goals.

Energy

‘A

ll our buildings produce emissions, and that is why the first section of the plan is about energy and energy usage and how we can reduce the amount of energy we consume and at the same time have energy coming from cleaner sources like solar and wind,” Symington says.

Symington cites two policies implemented by other cities: requiring a home energy audit at the time a home or building is put up for sale to inform

the buyer of its efficiency level and requiring buildings and multi-family dwellings to benchmark their energy performance. Informing the buyer of a building’s efficiency is important, Symington says, because “that is usually the time they are more likely to do the work.”

Benchmarks involve submitting baseline measurements of energy usage to the local government and then submitting an updated measurement yearly. They can use Energy Star Portfolio Manager, an online tool created by the Environmental Protection Agency to measure and track energy and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. “In New York City, when this was enacted, it got a 90 percent compliance rate,” Symington says. The hope is that building owners “will use that information to implement energy efficiency retrofits.”

The plan asks homeowners to reduce energy usage by having a professional certified by the Building Performance Institute do a home audit. The audit report will indicate where a home needs air sealing, which involves caulking wherever air leaks exist — and where to add insulation for walls or spaces exposed to the outside. “The better the envelope, then all your equipment has to work less,” Symington says. Money may also be available to offset the cost through the NJ Clean Energy program.

The municipality plans to submit a

request for proposal later this year for renewable government energy aggregation, whereby the local government requests third-party electricity providers to supply electricity on behalf of all residents — for a price cheaper than what they currently pay and with a higher percentage of the energy from renewable sources.

This has been successful in Livingston, for example, where Direct Energy is supplying 100 percent renewable energy over a 16-month term that began in June at a price substantially lower than residents had been paying to PSE&G. The importance of negotiating cheaper prices, Symington says, is “that nobody should have to pay more, particularly people who are lower income.”

The municipality has also submitted an application to the NJ Board of Public Utilities that, if selected, will allow Princeton to issue a request for proposal to select a developer to build a community solar project that will offset the utility costs of Princeton’s low- and moderate-income households.

Land use & transportation

R

educing emissions from cars, trucks, and buses, Symington says, is “not just about making vehicles more efficient but about reducing the number of times we have to drive to get somewhere.

If we build more densely and closer to public transportation, we reduce the

number of vehicle miles traveled.”

“The hardest thing about transportation is reducing our dependency on cars,” Symington says. In Princeton, she continues, “everything was built around cars.” That’s why many of the actions under transportation deal with land use.

“If the town has to build more housing, we want to build it where people don’t need a car to meet basic needs, to get to work, to the store, and to doctor’s

Housing should be added in places where access to a car is not a necessity.

This requires changes in zoning rules as well as improved public transportation options. offices, and should be easily accessible to public transit,” Symington says. That means building where infrastructure and density are in place rather than “on the ridge.” Some actions that can make this happen are updating zoning in certain areas around town to mandate what can be built; using density bonuses and parking credits; and allowing accessory dwelling units.

An important approach to reducing

vehicle miles traveled is by switching drivers to public transit. “We are looking at consolidating and doing a better job of connecting all the options — Tiger Transit, jitneys [belonging to the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton Theological Seminary, Westminster Choir College of Rider University], and the FreeB,” Symington says, “and we are going to do a really thorough, ongoing, continuous campaign to get people to use them.”

Public transportation, she says, must be convenient: it must go to places that residents want to go, frequently enough so they will use public transportation in place of their cars.

The Princeton Transit Advisory Committee is now working cooperatively with Princeton University, the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association, and other transit development resources to study and make recommendations for improvements to transit services in Princeton.

The Climate Action Plan Emission Reduction Strategies, or CAPERS, team, including university undergraduates and graduate students, high school students, and community members, “are helping to find out what the cost will be to harmonize existing transportation systems.”

Once an integrated system is in place the plan mandates ensuring ridership “by instituting an intensive and continSee CLIMATE, Page 12

To reduce the emissions that are “embodied” in the products we buy, we need to make more sustainable purchasing decisions and other lifestyle changes. But modifying personal consumption involves individual behavior change. “It involves reusing, repurposing, and thinking carefully before we buy,” Symington says.

After graduating from West Chester University with a degree in elementary education, Symington had a couple of long-term substitute positions. Her goal had been to be a science teacher, specifically teaching environmental education. But that summer she got a temporary job with Vanguard that morphed into a permanent position in the finance industry.

on Suzuki and Marie-Mathilde Laplanche have a vision of what a French bistro should be, and they have brought it to life this year at Eclair Cafe in Princeton and Pennington.

The couple opened the Pennington location on Main Street in March. They followed that up by opening the Princeton shop in August on Witherspoon Street.

Suzuki, a physician with a family medical practice in Plainsboro and Pennington, also has a passion for cooking and baking that he shares with Marie-Mathilde, a native of Brittany in France, whom he describes not only as his co-owner, but also co-head chef.

“I think we both are the head chef,” he says. “We are a team. We invent a menu together, we work together. We both are capable of making all the products we make.”

In addition to his medical degrees, Suzuki has trained in French pastry and French culinary technique at the International Culinary Center in New York. He had worked as a pastry chef in professional kitchens in New York, but not until taking over at The Grind did he get a taste of restaurant management.

The Eclair Cafes have virtually identical menus that feature a variety of eclairs (naturally), as well as a changing selection

BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS EARLY

of quiches, croissants and other French pastries. Breakfast sandwiches are served morning and noon. In the warmer months, lunch customers can also look forward to seasonal plats and salades du jour. When possible, ingredients are locally sourced.

“We are super content to stay true to our vision of a French cafe,” Suzuki says. “No, we are not going to make it more sweet. No, we are not going to make bigger portions.

We are not making American French.”

On the drink side, there are all the coffee and espresso drinks one would expect to find in a modern coffee shop, including cold brew, plus chai, cold-pressed juice, and Dammann tea. Both Eclair Cafes serve Illy coffee, an Italian coffee brand well known in Europe.

Suzuki says that the Princeton location has done as well as he expected in its opening weeks. With competition like Small World Coffee up one block and Terra Momo Bread Company down the next, Princeton is a crowded market. But he professes to be undaunted.

“If you look in New York City, every block has a coffee shop. It’s a matter of taste,” he says.
