Princeton celebrates Class Day Butler, Miller to

run uncontestedBy KATIE MORGANThe Sun

Councilmembers Jo Butlerand Bernie Miller will run un-contested for re-election in No-vember, after a remarkably closeprimary race between Butler andMillers running mate, SueNemeth.

Miller and Nemeth, whoserved together on the TownshipCommittee, announced early thisyear that they would run togeth-er, a move that would have effec-tively ousted Butler from the gen-eral election.

Mayor Liz Lempert and Coun-cilmembers Lance Liverman andHeather Howard endorsed theMiller-Nemeth slate.

After the polls closed on June3, Miller led the pack with 1,602votes, securing his spot on the

November ballot. The race be-tween Butler and Nemeth, how-ever, remained too close to calluntil two days later when provi-sional ballots were opened. But-ler initially received 1,543 votes,

just three more than Nemeths1,540. The Mercer County Boardof Elections opened the 11 provi-sional ballots on June 5.

A provisional ballot is a ballotthat is handwritten at the polling

location if for some reason the[voters] name is not in the regis-tration book at that time, JoannPalmucci, chair of the Board ofElections, said. Theyre lockedin a bag, secured and brought tothe superintendents office forscanning and screening. Theboard then meets again and re-convenes for opening those bal-lots.

Palmucci said of the 11 provi-sional ballots, six were deemedinvalid and rejected.

Three were rejected for notbeing registered to vote, Pal-mucci said. The other threevoted in the wrong party. Theresa timeline you have to changeyour party affiliation, and thosethree were not registered Democ-rats.

Of the remaining five provi-sional ballots, four votes went to

Butler and one to Nemeth,bringing the total to 1,547 for But-ler and 1,541 for Nemeth.Despite the narrow gap, Nemethsaid she would not ask for a re-count.

Public, officials attend Transco safety briefingBy KATIE MORGAN

The Sun

Members of the public and mu-nicipal officials attended a safetybriefing regarding the proposedTransco pipeline expansion, heldby the Princeton Ridge Coalitionon June 4.

We [held] the safety briefingbecause many residents remainunaware of the risks, BarbaraBlumenthal, president of thePrinceton Ridge Coalition, said.In the next few months, our com-munity has an opportunity to in-fluence this project. By the time

construction begins in April 2015,it will be months too late to speakup.

The pipelines operating com-pany, Williams Co., proposed asix-mile expansion of theTransco natural gas pipeline net-work in February 2013.

The 2,000-mile long Transcopipeline system is a majorprovider of Gulf Coast naturalgas to the Atlantic Seaboard. Thesection of pipeline that intersectsPrinceton, known as the LeidySouth East line, runs from thewestern edge of Mercer Countyto Leidy, Pa., where several utilitycompanies run natural gas stor-age facilities.

The proposed project wouldadd a new pipeline parallel to theexisting pipe that runs throughthe municipality. In addition,

compression facilities along theline will be updated with morehorsepower and compression ca-pabilities. The six-mile stretchruns approximately two milessouth of, and parallel to, Route206, crossing Cherry Valley Road.

According to the PrincetonRidge Coalition, the project ischallenging and complicated dueto the unique geology and geogra-phy of the Princeton Ridge.

The project is unusually diffi-cult because of the challengingterrain of the Princeton Ridge, apress release about the June 4meeting read. Very hard basalt

bedrock and boulders will need tobe broken up by heavy equipmentoperating in areas with saturatedwetlands.

Dr. Rob Goldston, former direc-tor of the Princeton PlasmaPhysics Lab and member of thePrinceton Ridge Coalitions safe-ty committee, said ground satura-tion could result in unsafe condi-tions around the existingpipeline.

The soil in the PrincetonRidge is saturated with water andlarge, hard basalt boulders floatin this soil above the bedrock,Goldston said in a safety report.Boulders could easily be wedgedbetween the bedrock and thepipeline and/or the pipeline andthe heavy equipment, resulting inunsafe stresses.

Chris Stockton, spokesman for

Williams Co., said the companyhas worked with the PrincetonRidge Coalition to put safetymeasures in place, including theuse of air-gapped equipment matbridges over the existing pipeline.Williams Co. has also said it willrefrain from using rock-hammer-ing equipment over the existingline.

Stockton said Williams Co.has also done analyses to deter-mine what construction tech-niques will be necessary for theRidge.

To address concerns related toimpacts to the existing geophysi-

cal features within the PrincetonRidge, the company conducted anextensive geophysical analysisthat resulted in a comprehensivesoil profile along the proposedpipeline alignment, Stocktonwrote. The company utilizedStress Engineering Services, Inc.to perform an extensive stressanalysis that included a 3D FiniteElement Analysis to calculate po-tential stress in various theoreti-cal circumstances.

In an additional safety meas-ure, Williams Co. committed totaking the existing line out ofservice during some aspects ofconstruction.

The safety concerns and pre-cautions are designed to avoid anexplosion, which Golston saidwould be catastrophic.

If the old pipeline ruptures

and ignites, adults and childrenwithin 2,000 feet of the blast willhave 90 seconds to get to the shel-ter before developing third-de-gree burns, Goldston said. Ac-cording to the Gas Research Insti-tute, those having 30 seconds ofexposure at 550 feet will have a 50percent probability of mortality.

According to the PrincetonRidge Coalition, the pipelinepasses through the property ofStuart School, and Princeton DaySchool is 2,000 feet from the line.More than 150 homes are locatedwithin 2,000 feet of the pipeline.

The Coalitions concerns over a

potential accident were height-ened after a March explosion at apipeline construction site inEwing. The gas explosion dam-aged more than 50 homes andkilled 62-year-old resident LindaCerritelli. Henkels & McCoy, thesubcontractor that was workingon the Ewing pipeline at the timeof the explosion, is the same com-pany Williams Co. has hired tocomplete the project on the Ridge.

The Coalition has concernsabout the safety record ofHenkels & McCoy, the Coali-tions release read. Reports statethat when Henkels & McCoy em-ployees smelled gas they did notcall 911 or evacuate residents. TheMercer County Prosecutors Of-fice continues to investigate.

Stockton said Williams Co.would continue to work with the

Coalition to ensure that construc-tion plans include acceptablesafety precautions.

We believe that we haveworked in good faith to addressthe concerns raised by the PRC,going to great lengths to developconstruction plans and tech-niques that will help minimizeenvironmental impacts, while en-suring that the pipeline is in-stalled safely, Stockton said.

Blumenthal said that while sheappreciates Williams Co.s will-ingness to work together, she haslingering safety concerns.

We have made some progress

toward resolving these issues, butwe believe that very serious safe-ty concerns remain, Blumenthalsaid. Collective action is neededto further reduce project risks.

Goldston said that whilethe Princeton Ridge is a uniquelocation for a pipeline project,the safety measures that will beput in place during this projectwould resonate throughout thecountry.

We are encouraged thatWilliams has shared their planswith us and considered our feed-back, Goldston said. However itis very important that safety andenvironmental analysis, not justfor the Princeton Ridge but foreverywhere in the country, bedone carefully as the U.S. naturalgas pipeline infrastructure is ex-panded over the next few years.

will be up to her.Im pleased that I won, and I

offer my congratulations to Jo,Miller said. I know [Nemeth]worked very hard in this primary

election, and I know shes verydisappointed in the outcome.Shes a very remarkable woman,and I enjoyed running with her.She has a lot to offer to the com-munity and I hope shell stay en-gaged.

Butler could not be reached forcomment.

maries included a Democraticprimary for the District 12 con-gressional seat that will be vacat-ed by Rush Holt later this year.State Assemblywoman BonnieWatson Coleman defeated stateSen.

in our opinion

Special Olympics approachingLets eliminate hurtful comments in Princeton


Next week, 80,000 people will

descend on Princeton to com-

pete, watch or facilitate the

Special Olympics USA National

Games. Princeton was selected as the

host of the games for a number of rea-

sons, not least of which is the towns

proximity to major media markets.

Its not the huge attendance, the

huge participation or the huge spon-

sorships that make the Special

Olympics worthy of full-force national

news coverage, though it certainly

doesnt hurt.

What makes the Special Olympics

so important for people to attend,

watch, participate in and heads up,

shameless plug! publish special sec-

tions about, is what exists way down

deep in the heart of the thing.

In the 1950s, Special Olympics

founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver

began working to erase the stigma as-

sociated with American families

whose children had intellectual dis-

abilities.Shrivers efforts paid off today,

there are Special Olympics programs

held in nearly 150 countries around

the world. Thats millions of people

gaining the respect and love of their

countrymen, when once they, like

Shrivers sister, might have been hid-

den away from the rest of the world,

just for being who they are.

Weve come a long way, but there is

still a long, long way to go.

In 2009, Vice President Joe Biden

visited the Special Olympics World

Winter Games in Boise, Idaho. He

declared special needs advocacy a

civil rights movement, and he was

right.

Sometime in the last few decades, an

epidemic of discrimination against

people with intellectual disabilities

began to spread among young people.

The word retarded, used in the past

to describe someone with a disability,

morphed into a slang term used to

mean stupid or idiotic.

Its derogatory, dehumanizing and

far too generally accepted. Too many

people dont even bat an eye when its

said, and too many more people say it

themselves often without ever con-

sidering the harm they are doing to

millions of people.

Sometimes elderly people make in-advertently racist comments, and we

brush them off.

Well, we shrug, they just grew up

in a different time. They dont under-

stand how much things have

changed.

On a stroll across Palmer Square

last week, a Princeton Sun reporter

overheard a young man use the word

to describe something foolish his

friend had done. This form of discrim-

ination is alive and well in Princeton,

and worse it is alive and well in

Princetons youth. This isnt some-

thing we can write off as the remnant

of a long-gone, less tolerant time. This

is something our young people are

keeping alive not because theyre

bad people, but because perhaps weve

forgotten that the civil rights move-

ment did not end with desegregation.

Not even close. Perhaps weve forgot-

ten to teach them the power their

words have, both to perpetuate dis-

crimination and to destroy it.

It is an enormous honor for Prince-

ton to have been chosen as the host of

the Special Olympics. Lets be worthy

of that honor. Lets end the R-word.

Visit r-word.org to learn about how to

successfully articulate why the term is

hurtful. If you hear it used on the

streets of Princeton, stop and explainwhy its not OK. Lets take this one

small step to stop discrimination in

our town.

The Olympic flame will be extin-

guished at the closing ceremony on

June 20, but in Princeton, lets keep

carrying the torch.

Meeting encouragesvalue in being heardBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

On June 4, parents, studentsand teachers gathered in the cafe-teria of John Witherspoon Mid-dle School to begin what is poisedto be an ongoing tradition of fur-thering wellness in the PrincetonPublic School District.

Superintendent StephenCochrane called it an extraordi-nary evening of honest, open con-versation about our schools, our-selves and our hopes and dreams

for our children.The town hall wellness meet-ing was open to parents, facultyand students who were interestedin discussing the state of well-ness with the school community.

Every voice was valued lastnight, and it was inspiring to seeteachers, parents and studentssitting down together to shareideas on what is working well andwhat can be improved, Cochranesaid.

Attendees met in small focus

groups of approximately eight to10 people. Among each groupwere a facilitator and recorder ofthe contributions. Topics broughtinto discussion included stress,competition, competing priori-ties,and a focus on getting intothe right college. The importanceof encouraging a students pas-sion was also emphasized.

We talked about the need tocontinually affirm students natu-ral curiosity and passions and to

prepare them to have the creativi-ty, compassion and character tolive lives of joy and purpose andto truly make a difference in theworld, he said.

Another element of student lifein the Princeton community thatattendees feel is pertinent is thechallenges of being a minoritystudent in public schools and inthe community, as well as some ofthe adjustments of entering thesystem from another country.

Cochrane felt that by the end of

the evening, there was a clear un-derstanding that higher levels ofwellness are necessary to higherlevels of learning.

The foundation for both isbased on caring, trusting rela-

tionships, he said.The themes and ideas from the

meeting will serve to inform thedistrict-wide wellness committeeas it moves forward. The commit-tee was formed in April and willbe meeting this summer andthroughout next year with thegoal of developing and presentinga comprehensive, integrated ap-proach to wellness within the dis-trict. The goal is that in one year,the wellness committee will begiving a presentation with specif-ic goals and timelines.

The June 4 meeting was thefirst of many conversations to in-form the works of the wellnesscommittee, and Cochrane ex-plained that additional focusgroups would be held in the fallfor parents to discuss specific top-ics such as bullying, alcohol anddrugs, nutrition, diversity andbalance.

Our ability to listen to one an-other and learn is the truestmeasure of our health and well-ness as individuals and as a

school system. And that level ofwellness was very much apparentin the town meeting, Cochranesaid.

By KATIE MORGANThe Sun

Several dozen residents attend-ed a meeting held by municipalofficials on June 2 to update thecommunity on the preliminarywork being carried out on the for-mer site of the University Med-ical Center on WitherspoonStreet.

Developer AvalonBay received

Planning Board approval in July2013 to build a 280-unit housingcomplex on the site.

The purpose of this meetingis so the residents can meet thepeople who will be making surethat everything that goes on atthe hospital site is safe, and mak-ing sure that were keeping thecommunity healthy and protect-ing the environment according tothe law, Mayor Liz Lempert said.

Lempert said the municipalitywill host additional neighbor-hood meetings as demolition andconstruction move forward tokeep the community updated onthe progress at the site.

Eisco Environmental beganwork on the site in late May, re-moving six underground fuelstorage tanks. Post-excavationsamples taken by EcolSciences, acompany contracted by the town,

around two 30,000-gallon tanksshowed an elevated level of petro-leum in the soil.

One post excavation sample inconnection with the removal ofthe two 30,000-gallon tanksshowed a petroleum hydrocarbonreading of 110 mg/kg, slightlyabove the 100 mg/kg threshold,an update from the town read. Asa result, additional testing will becompleted.

Dr. Ira Whitman, an environ-mental expert contracted by the

town to monitor the project, saidEisco workers excavating a 6,000-gallon fuel tank between the hos-pital and parking garage detectedan odor in the surrounding soil,and discovered an unknownamount of fuel had seeped intothe soil. Whitman said the tankshave not been used since the1960s, and the leakage could havehappened decades ago.

Sixteen soil samples weretaken from around the two 6,000-gallon tanks, and all but one wasbelow the petroleum hydrocarbonthreshold of 100 mg/kg. One sam-ple, however, showed a petroleumlevel of 290 mg/kg, nearly threetimes the acceptable amount.

As a result of the elevated pe-troleum levels and the odor, mu-nicipal engineer Bob Kiser saidthe soil excavated from aroundthe tanks would be removed from

the site and taken to a DEP-ap-proved facility for disposal.

Whitman said testing would bedone to determine whether anypetroleum had leaked into thegroundwater, though he thoughtit unlikely.

A monitoring well will be in-stalled to determine whether thedischarged chemical found itsway into the groundwater, Whit-man said. Its a heavy, gunky

type of oil that likely did not dis-solve into the groundwater, but itremains to be seen whether ithas.

The Yannuzzi Corporation, ademolition company hired byAvalonBay, has begun removingcarpeting, ceiling tiles, lightingfixtures, copper piping and elec-trical wiring from the buildingsin anticipation of demolition.

In addition, Yannuzzi Corpora-tion has started to remove as-bestos from the buildings.

The asbestos being taken out ofthe buildings is double-baggedand placed in a storage area in-side the hospital before beingtransported offsite in sealed con-tainers. Two containers havebeen removed from the site so far.Asbestos removal is expected tocontinue for eight weeks.

AvalonBay has applied fordemolition permits, but the per-mits will not be granted until thedeveloper signs an agreementwith the municipality that wouldrequire additional environmentaltesting.

AvalonBay is suing the townover the environmental testing,and is requesting that the courtreverse Princeton Councils deci-sion to make certain environmen-tal tests a condition of the devel-opers agreement.

The agreement itself was acondition of the Planning Boardapproval AvalonBay received inJuly 2013 to build a 280-unit hous-

ing complex on the site.Until both parties accept the

developers agreement, Avalon-Bay cannot receive permits tobegin demolition or constructionon the site.

Late Princeton resident LizGray Erickson will be honored atthe June 14 and 15 productions ofStone Soup Circus and The Cir-cus Places third annual produc-tion Circus Neverland. The freefamily-friendly show will takeplace at 6 p.m. on both nights atthe Amphitheater at PettoranelloGardens on Mountain Avenue.

Erickson donated the budgetfor the show and was a longtimesupporter of the Stone Soup Cir-cus. Erickson and her childrenhad even performed with the cir-cus in the past.

According to the Princeton Po-lice Department, Erickson wasreported missing on May 22. Herbody was discovered later thatday at the Spruce Run Reservoir.Authorities do not suspect any

foul play.Were all really devastated by

the loss, and as a result, werededicating the show to her. Liz re-ally loved the circus, and she wasone of the people who saw that wewere doing something a bit un-usual in town, and she supportedus and brought people to us, saidZoe Brookes, the founder and for-mer director of Stone Soup Cir-cus.

Brookes explained that one of

the things Erickson most appreci-ated about the circus was the non-competitive atmosphere. Accord-ing to the Stone Soup Circus web-site, everyone in the circus is alocal person who learns with us,shares their skills with us andputs their ideas in the pot to cre-ate a fun spectacle for others inthe community.

There is no rule about howgood you have to be to be a partof it. That was something that Lizdefinitely thought was a great

thing, Brookes said.Brookes founded Stone Soup

Circus in 2008 to bring togetherthe community for circus arts.The circus has since joined forceswith Hillsboroughs The CircusPlace to expand its reach.Brookes explained that two yearsago, the community circus hadenough performers and skills toput together its first full-lengthcircus show. Now in its third year,

attendees can expect to see a fewnew acts, including formationunicycle riding, hand-to-hand duoacrobatics and a giant crocodilepuppet that will be operated byeight to 10 children.

This is the first year the staffsat The Circus Place along witholder circus students, fromgrades eight to 11, have gotten to-gether to be the producers of theshow. Brookes said she has beenlightly supervising, but it is most-

ly their work.They have been meetingweekly since February to puteverything together. They havebeen putting together acts withintheir classes and outside of theclassroom, she said.

In addition to the new acts,there are some popular favoritesthat will reappear including aeri-al performance, dance and jug-gling. Additionally, there will besome adults participating in theshow, but, according to Brookes,

they are mostly clowningaround.

The Arts Council of Princetonis a sponsor of the event, which isalso receiving support from thePrinceton Recreation Depart-ment. Members of the communi-ty are encouraged to enjoy thefree show and to get involved infuture events. To find out moreabout the community circus, visitwww.stonesoupcircus.com.

Garden Theatre under new managementBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

The Garden Theatre on NassauStreet has been a Princeton land-mark since it opened in 1920 witha showing of Civilian Clothes.But now, passersby may need tolook twice, as there are no movielistings on the sign and all win-dows are covered. At quickglance, it looks as if the theatrehas closed. However, history andfilm enthusiasts need not fear; thetheatre has been taken over bynew, non-profit management,Renew Theaters.

The lease agreement betweenPrinceton University, which ownsthe property, and Renew Theaterstook effect June 1. Renew The-aters currently runs three otherhistoric movie theaters in Penn-sylvania that were created in thegolden age the 1920s, 30s and40s, according to Executive Direc-tor John Toner.

Immediate improvements arebeing made to the two-screenbuilding, including new paint,

carpet and lighting in the lobby.There will be a new concessionstand complete with a popcornmachine, and a door will be added

to the mens room. Going for-ward, new auditorium seats andnew theater doors will be added,as well as new artwork showcas-ing the Gardens history.

Toner worked with a film socie-ty and saved his hometown movie

theater in Doylestown, Pa., in1993. The venture became wildlysuccessful and garnered hugecommunity support, which led to

him and his team asking, Hey,we can do this for other theatersas well?

He estimates that after the Gar-den is back up and running, itwill be Renew Theaters last un-dertaking for quite some time.

It feels like four theaters isprobably the maximum, he said.This is going to be it for the fore-seeable future. Princeton is such

a great town, and being across thestreet from a world-class universi-ty offers us so many opportuni-ties.

Toner explained that having anon-profit in charge of the Gar-den is a big change, as well as the

fact that Renew Theaters is amembership organization. Plansfor the future include increasedshow times, increased special

programming and more outreachto the community.

We were basically given four

months to get this project off theground. And a lot that we hope todo is going to come after we re-open. It is not going to be a fin-ished product but a work inprogress, he said.

The organization also hopes tofoster community relations byreaching out to local businessesto host special screenings and re-ceptions, as well as making thetheatre accessible to studentgroups and academic staff forscreenings and special program-ming. Furthermore, managementby Renew Theaters ensures theGarden runs as a nonprofit, taxexempt entity.

All of the money gets put backinto operating the Garden. Onlyabout 2 percent of the originalgolden age theaters still remain,and Princeton is lucky that westill have one left. We are reallydedicated, and super excitedabout this project, Toner said.

Toner estimated that the latest

reopening of the theatre wouldtake place on July 1. For more in-formation, visit www.princeton-gardentheatre.org.

OnePrinceton introducing new feature for overdraftsBy NORA CARNEVALE

The Sun

Every parent can attest to the

nightmare that is receiving anoverdraft notification as a resultof a childs irresponsible spend-ing. OnePrinceton, a pilot pay-ment network, is introducing anew feature that not only safe-guards parents from this familiarhorror, but also allows them toknow that money spent in townwill stay in town.

OnePrinceton was the brain-child of Bob Carr, CEO of Heart-land Payment Systems, headquar-tered in Princeton. The system,developed last spring and imple-mented on Oct. 9, allows localmerchants to eliminate their pay-ments toward fees for credit cardtransactions, which, according toAdrienne Rubin, director ofOnePrinceton, can range from 3percent to 7 percent of a giventransaction.

Credit card transaction feesare a tremendous loss of revenue,particularly for a small business,she said.

Merchants participating inOnePrinceton are charged a nom-inal five-cent transaction fee, andagree to donate 1 percent to alocal non-profit. The OnePrince-ton cardholders are able to decidewhich non-profit they prefer theirfunds to be donated to.

Money that would be leavingthe community becomes foundmoney for local non-profits as a

result of the system, Rubin ex-plained.

Local businesses need help

and they need support. They needus to shop there and to thinkabout how they retain their mar-gin. Small businesses dont havemuch margin, that 1 or 2 percentthat they save could mean havinga month in the black or a monthin the red, she said.

There are 300 active users ofOnePrinceton and 800 users insome stage of the sign-up process.

The account is very similar toPayPal. Using an email and pass-word, a PIN is set up and the bank

account is confirmed by eitherentering banking credentials ormaking micro-deposits. The sys-tem has an array of security fea-tures, including email alertsevery time the card is used. Usersalso have the option of having aQR code sent to their phones topay without a card.

The new feature of OnePrince-ton allows parents to add one or

more cards, free of charge, totheir account. With the extracards, a spending limit can be im-

plemented and changed at anytime. Rubin explains that the sys-tem teaches financial responsibil-ity in a safe and secure manner,and eliminates the excessive feesthat come with prepaid, reload-able cards often used for childrentoo young to have access to theirown bank account or debit card.

Something important to teachchildren and teens is independ-

ence. But we also want them to beable to be independent safely.Now, my son can have a $25spending limit, and I know he can

go get pizza with his friends, but Idont need to worry that $100could be spent, Rubin said.

Rubin emphasized the securityof OnePrinceton, saying it pro-vides safeguards for children andparents while giving back to thecommunity.

Around 60 businesses acceptOnePrinceton, and it cannot beused at an ATM. It is hard to getmuch more secure than that,Rubin said.

She added that it has been funto see the system begin to take offand create change in the commu-nity. According to Rubin, McCaf-fertys has saved enough moneythrough OnePrinceton that it cannow hire about two or three morepart-time teenage employees thissummer. To date, more than$220,000 worth of transactionshave been processed, and mer-chants have saved more than$6,600. Rubin reported that non-profit donations have reached

$2,300.It is exciting to be in this

phase, and experiment with dif-ferent ideas, because the morepeople who use it, the biggerthese numbers become, Rubinsaid.

By NORA CARNEVALEThe Sun

What started as an ESL pro-gram for adults has transformedinto a valuable community serv-ice to Princeton residents whomay need assistance navigating asea of legal jargon and, evenworse, legal fees.

Louise Sandberg, program di-rector for the Latin AmericanTask Force of Princeton, ex-plained that the Ask-a-Lawyerprogram began in 1999 to addressa need among the local Latinocommunity for access to afford-able legal services. In response,the task force offers a quarterlyprogram through which locallawyers volunteer time to provideindividual, confidential consulta-tions.

Although they are not defini-tive consultations, and this is

made clear to all who utilize theservice, the meetings provide res-idents a chance to understandany laws applicable to their situa-tion or to get a second opinion.Spanish interpreters are alwaysavailable.

Sandberg explained that whenfounding the program, there wasa need for a solution to the issuesof cost and language barriers, buta less obvious situation was alsorampant.

There tend to be people whotake advantage of immigrantswho obviously have difficultywith language or cost, so we start-ed this service to make sure theyare working with local, trustwor-thy attorneys, she said.

The program has expandedthroughout the years to includelawyers with different specialtiessuch as tax or divorce. Additional-ly, there are now translators forHaitian and even French. Topicsfrequently discussed range from

estate issues, property bound-aries and small claims to divorceand custody.

You never know who is goingto come in, or what they mightneed, Sandberg said, reflectingon a night on which more than 40people arrived by van from aHightstown church.

Sometimes, we only have 10 or12 people, and sometimes we need

to stay later and make sure we ac-commodate everyone on a busiernight, she said.

Whether slow or busy, Sand-berg emphasized the value ofhaving an initial look-see at a spe-cific situation to assess the bestmove forward.

Its a place to start. Sometimespeople find out that for their par-ticular situation, they dont reallyneed to hire a lawyer, which savesthem time and money. In othercases, if they do need to hire one,we have a list of service providersthat offer low-income resources,she said.

She urges residents who maybe struggling that if you are un-sure, it makes sense to go.

Sandberg commended themany volunteers who support theprogram, ranging from collegestudents arranging the logisticsof the meetings to communityvolunteers who assist with post-ing fliers and spreading the word.

It really is a community effortthat results in a great communityservice, she said. The next Ask-a-Lawyer session is scheduled forWednesday, June 25 from 7 p.m. to8:30 p.m. in the second floor con-ference room at the PrincetonPublic Library, 65 WitherspoonSt. For more information or anyquestions, call (609) 924-9529, ext.220.

Leveraging the internationalbrand recognition of the Euro-pean American Chamber of Com-

merce New Jersey with thestrength of The Princeton Re-gional Chamber of Commerce,the two organizations announcedon May 14 that they will enterinto an exclusive partnership fora series of joint programs de-signed to enhance business op-portunities for companies thatare members of the two organiza-tions.

The Princeton name is recog-nized across international bound-aries for its leadership position in

education, technology and busi-ness, said Adam Perle, vice pres-ident of the Princeton RegionalChamber of Commerce. Many ofthe companies in our RegionalChamber have business interestsinternationally and our jointpartnership with the EuropeanAmerican Chamber will allow usto help those members and othersexpand. It will also offer a venuefor international companies to dobusiness here.

Working together, the Cham-bers will host a three-part break-fast series on international busi-ness throughout the next 18months. This series focusing oninternational opportunities willprovide information and net-working related to global busi-ness to members of both Cham-bers, helping them take advan-

tage of these expanding businessopportunities. Programs will alsoinclude briefings on insider in-

sights on developments in the ne-gotiation of the proposed bilater-al Transatlantic Trade and In-vestment Partnership Free TradeAgreement that is expected toboost transatlantic exports andinvestment by healthy double-digit percentages.

This is another new and excit-ing opportunity for the business-es in our region, said JohnThurber, chair of the PrincetonRegional Chamber. The Prince-ton Regional Chamber continues

to cultivate business and providenetworking opportunities for ourmember companies while bring-ing new economic development toMercer County and the PrincetonRegion. This is another leader-ship role that our Chamber is tak-ing in Central New Jersey.

The U.S. and Europe are eachother's most important markets no other commercial artery in theworld is as integrated. Thetransatlantic economy, the largest

and wealthiest market in theworld accounting for more than50 percent of world GDP andabout 40 percent of total purchas-ing power, generates $5 trillion intotal commercial sales a year andemploys up to 15 million workers,many in highly skilled, highlypaid jobs.

The EACCNJ is very pleased

to enter into this initiative withthe Princeton Regional Chamberof Commerce and thereby widen

the reach of our unparalleled ex-pertise to successfully expand in-ternational market profitabilityfor our combined audiences. TheEACCNJ provides unique con-nections to transatlantic govern-mental and private sector deci-sion- makers critical to all aspectsof global business including fi-nancing, regulatory environ-ments and implementation, andtechnology and innovation con-nections, said Camille Sailer,president of the EACCNJ. Our

collaboration with the PrincetonRegional Chamber of Commercefor this series of internationalprograms is dedicated to show-case and share the hard-won,decades-long and hands-onknowledge of experts and world-stature speakers who have proventrack records as to what it takesto understand and access lucra-

tive European markets that willdiversify and deepen our mem-bers' business success.

The EACCNJs mission is togenerate a variety of useful con-nections and development oppor-tunities between European enter-prises and professional organiza-tions and U.S. companies andpublic institutions in the state.

I am an active PrincetonRegional Chamber of Commercemember and EACCNJFounding Member and I couldnot be more thrilled to see thisnatural partnership come tofruition, said Marty Cummins,

COO, Environmental DynamicsGroup. I have learned so muchprofessionally and personallythrough my association with theEACCNJ, including as a partici-pant in the inaugural 2012 TradeMission to Brussels led byCamille, which greatly enhancedthe Transatlantic business mycompany. It's terrific that my

Princeton Regional Chamber ofCommerce colleagues will nowalso have the same opportunities

to learn and profit from these im-pressive transatlantic trade andinvestment opportunities.

Transatlantic Trends will bethe focus of the first event onAug. 12 at the Nassau Club indowntown Princeton. JosephQuinlan, the managing directorand chief market strategist atU.S. Trust, Bank of America Pri-vate Wealth Management, will bethe featured speaker at the break-fast.

The American Chamber of

Commerce to the EuropeanUnion awarded Mr. Quinlan the2006 Transatlantic BusinessAward for his research on U.S.-Europe economic ties. In 2007, hewas a recipient of the European-American Business CouncilLeadership award for his re-search on the transatlantic part-nership and global economy.
