AvalonBay
plans met
with
approval
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Developer AvalonBay went be-
fore the Princeton Regional Plan-
ning Board on June 27 for the first
public hearing on the new plans
for the former Witherspoon Street
site of the University Medical
Center.
The Planning Board denied
AvalonBays first plan, for a 280-
unit apartment building that
Planning Board members called
monolithic, in December of last
year. After AvalonBay appealed
the decision in Superior Court,
the Planning Board and Princeton
Council decided to accept a new
application from the developer.
The redesign includes 24 studio
apartments, 104 one-bedroom
units, 120 two-bedroom units and
30 three-bedroom units, according
to a report from town Planning Di-
rector Lee Solow at the start of the
meeting. The units are contained
within two large buildings and

Princeton, PBA reach new contract agreement
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Princeton officials have
reached a new agreement with
the towns Police Benevolent As-
sociation that will be approved by
the governing body at the next
Princeton Council meeting on
July 8.
The new contract eliminates
longevity pay for all new officers
hired after Jan 1, 2014, and dou-
bles the time it takes new officers
to reach their maximum salary.
At most departments, it takes
five to seven years to reach the
maximum pay grade, with a raise
each year, Administrator Bob
Bruschi said.
The PBA agreed to go to a 12-
year step plan, which for us is
huge.
Itll still pay officers the top
dollar that their colleagues will
get, but it will take them 12 years
to get there as opposed to six.
Bruschi said he was confident
the new contract, which the PBA
has already ratified, represents
the goals of consolidation.
The goal going into the agree-
ment was to structure the con-
tract in such a way that we could
begin to see savings in the short
term and the long term once we
did our first hiring, Bruschi
said.
The negotiations with the
PBA were extremely amicable.
We laid out where we wanted to
be at the beginning of the
process, and they were 100 per-
cent on board.
The three-year contract in-
cludes a pay raise for existing and
newly hired officers each year.
The first two years, officers will
see a 1.75 percent raise, and the
third year, 2015, the raise will be
1.9 percent.
We were pleased to be able to
keep the raises below the 2 per-
cent cap, Bruschi said, though
he mentioned that several officers
may get a slightly larger raise, be-
cause the salaries will be rounded
up to fit into the established pay
grades.
Bruschi said another big victo-
ry for the municipality was the
elimination of longevity pay from
the contract.
Though current officers will
still receive a percentage of
longevity pay based on their
salary and number of years with
the department, new hires will
not receive any.
Its huge to get it out of the
contract altogether going for-
ward, Bruschi said. We were
able to get them to go to a two-
tiered structure, where payments
are different for current and new
employees.
The longevity payment, when
everyone qualifies, is a huge num-
ber. Its over $300,000 a year if
everybodys at the top of the
scale.
As salaries go up, longevity
payments go up. So, by eliminat-
ing that going forward, we will
save significant annual money.
Also included in the contract
are language clarifications, and
changes to sick leave guidelines.
Officers will still be granted an
unlimited number of sick days,
but they will not be able to use
those sick days to deal with a fam-
ily members illness.
We wanted to reduce and cap
family illness days, Bruschi
said. We of course wont deny
the officers time off, but it just
wont be covered under normal
sick time. We werent able to get
that last time we agreed to a con-
tact, and we were happy to get it
this time.
Bruschi said the new contract
will be important to the munici-
pality as it is expecting a large
number of the townships 52 offi-
cers to retire in the next few
years.
Were anticipating a high
turnover within the first few
years of consolidation, Bruschi
said.
Well then begin hiring people
at a whole new set of contract
terms, and I think its important
because of the potential that
were going to hire 20 percent of
the department in the next three
to five years based on the
turnover.
Battlefield Society to appeal IAS decision
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
A Mercer County Superior
Court judge ruled that the Plan-
ning Boards 2012 approval of an
Institute for Advanced Studies
housing project would stand.
The Battlefield Society has
long opposed the development,
which would see eight town hous-
es and seven single-family homes
built on part of the Revolutionary
War battlefield that the Institute
owns. After the Planning Boards
unanimous approval last spring,
the Battlefield Society filed its ini-
tial appeal.
Judge Mary Jacobson deliv-
ered the decision on June 19. The
Princeton Battlefield Society had
argued that the plans for the 15-
unit housing development did not
conform to a 1992 settlement be-
tween the Institute and the Plan-
ning Board.
The appeal asserts that the
Planning Board approval violates
the E-2 Zoning limitations defined
in the 1992 settlement between
the Township and the Institute,
which does not permit cluster
housing, Battlefield Society
lawyer Bruce Afran said in a
statement.
That settlement, the result of a
different lawsuit regarding a de-
velopment in another location,
determined that to avoid the con-
struction of cluster housing,
the Institute must be able to
demonstrate the possibility of
building the homes on individual
one-acre lots that are not encum-
bered by buffers or setbacks or
other lot use limitations.
In this recent appeal, Afran ar-
gued the development plans are
an example of cluster housing. In
addition, he noted the historical
significance of the battlefield,
which was designated one of the
countrys most endangered his-
toric places by the National Trust
for Historic Preservation in 2012.
The appeal also disagrees
with the Planning Boards accept-
ance that the historic and archeo-
logical features of the site would
be protected, Afran said.
When the appeal was first filed
in April 2012, Battlefield Society
President Jerald Hurwitz rein-
forced the historical importance
of the site.
The Institute is still claiming
that the site did not play a signifi-
cant role in the Battle of Prince-
ton, Hurwitz said at the time.
Gov. Edge, as far back as 1944,
recognized that this site was criti-
cal to understand the counterat-
tack, and his map showing the
properties that were to be ac-
quired to become part of the park
included this parcel as an essen-
tial part of the park.
The Battlefield Society held a
board meeting on June 26, where
it unanimously voted to bring the
case to the appellate court.
Were definitely going to ap-
peal, said Kip Cherry, Battlefield
Society vice president. And we
are not appealing Judge Jacob-
sons decision it will be an ap-
peal de novo, essentially starting
again.
A de novo appeal means the ap-
pellate court will use the trial
courts record, but review the
original evidence without yield-
ing to the original ruling.
As I understand it, well have a
three-judge panel, Cherry said.
The Battlefield Society has 45
days from the time the judges de-
cision becomes official to file the
new appeal.

Princeton hires private
consulting firm
to complete PD review
Princeton has hired The
Rodgers Group, a public safety
consulting firm, to oversee an
audit of the police department.
According to Administrator Bob
Bruschi, Frank Rodgers, presi-
dent of The Rodgers Group and
former deputy superintendent of
the state police, will oversee the
review. The program, which Br-
uschi said would start as soon as
possible, includes four focus
group meetings with members of
the department, administration,
governing body and community.
Officers will also take surveys
and participate in an online lead-
ership program.
Bruschi said the contract with
The Rogers Group could be
amended to add focus group meet-
ings, which he said the town
would likely decide to do. The cur-
rent contract is for $11,495, plus
$1,000 for each additional day of
meetings.
Its not cheap, Bruschi said.
But its not a lot of money to do
this, and I think its important. I
think the process is laid out ex-
tremely well. Im hopeful that this
goes so well in the police depart-
ment that we can use some com-
ponents of this in the administra-
tion. I think its got real potential
to help us as an organization
grow stronger.
Bruschi said the review will
culminate in a presentation to the
Princeton Council. He said the
town and department hope to
complete the review by the end of
the summer.

Council introduces
salary, wage ordinance
for municipal employees
Princeton Council introduced
an ordinance at the June 24 meet-
ing that would establish a set
range for all municipal employee
salaries.
This ordinance provides the
ranges for the various non-con-
tractual employees of the organi-
zation, it reads. Employees
compensation is then guided by
the ranges and cannot be above
the range unless the ordinance is
amended.
Municipal Administrator Bob
Bruschi said officials looked at
the salaries of employees of
neighboring communities who
have similar positions to get an
idea of where Princetons
salaries fall.
Were right about where we
need to be, Bruschi said. In
some cases, were on the higher
end of the scale.
The ordinance divides munici-
pal positions into 15 wage classes.
Bruschi said that when the ordi-
nance comes before Council for a
public hearing, he hopes to have a
comprehensive list with the spe-
cific proposed salaries of all em-
ployees.
In some cases, it will provide
for a raise, Bruschi said. No one
will have to take a pay cut.
Salaries and compensation de-
termined by the new ordinance
will be retroactively effective as of
Jan. 1, 2013. The ordinance may
appear on the next Council agen-
da for the July 8 meeting.
NJ Transit board
approves land transfer
to Princeton University
The New Jersey Transit board
of directors unanimously ap-
proved a land transfer to Prince-
ton University on June 24. The
move will allow the university to
move the Dinky train station 460
feet south as part of its $320 mil-
lion Arts and Transit project. The
university will purchase a 0.84-
acre parcel of land from NJ Tran-
sit to build parking for the new
Dinky station. NJ Transit will in
turn purchase a 0.06-acre parcel
from the university to move the
train tracks of the Princeton line.
NJ Transit will also trade the uni-
versity its existing public trans-
portation easement for another
easement located elsewhere.
According to the agenda of the
meeting, which was held via
phone conference from Newark,
the university will play NJ Tran-
sit $185,000, plus an additional
amount between $88,000 and
$480,000 for the difference in ease-
ment values.
NJ Transit spokeswoman
Nancy Snyder said the transfer
would help the university com-
plete the project before the end of
the 2014 school year.
Todays action culminates the
universitys plan to construct a
new modern, ADA accessible
Princeton Station which also will
benefit NJ Transit customers and
provide for a more efficient bus
transfer facility, she said.

P
rospective summer interns re-
joiced last month when a feder-
al district judge in Manhattan
ruled that not all internships can be
unpaid.
Not only did Manhattan federal dis-
trict judge William H. Pauley III rule
that Fox Searchlight studios had bro-
ken New York and federal minimum
wage laws when it failed to pay two in-
terns who worked on the set of the
movie Black Swan, he also gave the
go-ahead to a class action suit sought
by an intern who worked in Fox Enter-
tainment Groups offices.
Businesses have long relied on in-
terns to supplement their paid work-
force, with many of these internships
occurring during the summer months
when colleges are on break. On the
surface, Pauleys decision would
threaten that practice.
Dig deeper, though, and one can see
that it doesnt outlaw unpaid intern-
ships, but rather seeks to ensure that
any unpaid intern is actually getting
real-life work experience, and not just
delivering coffee.
Pauley referred to the Department
of Labors six-point test to determine
whether an internship can be unpaid:
It must be similar to training that
would be given in an educational envi-
ronment.
It must be an experience that is for
the benefit of the intern.
The intern must not displace regu-
lar employees, but work under close
supervision of existing staff.
The employer must derive no im-
mediate advantage from the activities
of the intern, and on occasion, its op-
erations may actually be impeded.
The intern is not necessarily enti-
tled to a job at the conclusion of the in-
ternship.
The employer and intern under-
stand that the intern is not entitled to
wages for the internship.
So, basically, to be eligible to be un-
paid, the internship must be valuable
to the intern himself or herself, not
just to the employer.
Sounds fair enough.
After all, cant we just all get our
own coffee?
Are unpaid interns over with?
A federal district judge may have put an end to the long practice

JULY 3-9, 2013 THE PRINCETON SUN 9
PHS sophomore publishes his fifth novel
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Kenny Xu, a 15-year-old sopho-
more at Princeton High School,
knows a thing or two about hard
work.
Since fourth grade, Xu has
written four complete, unpub-
lished novels, and, last month, he
officially published his fifth.
The 443-page novel, Trisk, is
set in a dystopian future, and cen-
ters on a violent, highly competi-
tive and wildly popular sport.
I decided I wanted to write
novels because I just love making
up worlds, Xu said. My imagi-
nation runs wild. I love taking the
world and saying, well what if I
just changed this one cultural
thing, one social policy, one scien-
tific law? I like taking reality and
just sort of tweaking it a little.
Xu said that when he began
writing Trisk more than a year
ago, he knew he wanted to ulti-
mately publish the novel.
I was committed to publishing
this from the beginning, Xu said.
I think thats something that
writers need to know. If youre se-
rious about getting published,
you need to be serious from the
beginning. You need to commit to
that right away, before you even
start writing.
Xu said it was often challeng-
ing to juggle his commitment to
the novel with his busy schedule.
Xu is an athlete and a member of
several clubs and organizations
at PHS. He said he tried to priori-
tize, putting his writing above
everything except schoolwork.
It was definitely easier to
write in elementary school, when
I had 10 minutes of homework,
Xu said. One of the lessons Ive
had to learn is how to manage my
time wisely. So every day my goal
was to write a page 600 to 700
words and I said, OK, thats my
goal and Im going to accomplish
it no matter what. So at events
and tournaments I would hand-
write the pages. Whatever I had to
do.
Xu said that over the months it
took him to write Trisk, he cut
down on his social life.
Youre not going to write a
good novel if youre on Facebook
three hours a day, Xu said. But I
made my writing this routine,
methodical thing, and I finished a
first draft in about 13 months.
Once Xu finished the first draft
of Trisk, he attended a confer-
ence with major publishers and
literary agents to learn about the
publishing world.
What I got from that was that
they werent going to take me se-
riously, Xu said. Traditional
publishers are bureaucratic and
it takes a really long time to see
your book anywhere near a shelf.
I decided to self-publish instead,
through my own publishing com-
pany that I sort of just made up.
Xu did exhaustive research
about self-publishing. He hired an
editor, cover artist and printer,
and is now publishing through
Amazon and another distributor.
I took pains to make sure this
was as professional as possible,
Xu said. It comes off as really
polished.
To finance the publishing, Xu
got support from his father as an
investor. He also did research to
find affordable options, and hired
a fellow PHS student to draw the
cover art.
At first I thought all the costs
were going to come to over
$10,000, Xu said. But this was
before I did research about the
many traps you have to avoid. I
was able to get the expenses down
to about $1,200.
Xu said his determination to
finish Trisk and share it with
the world is reflected in the books
protagonist, Curtis Powell.
I put a lot of me in that char-
acter, Xu said. I mean, hes a lot
more buff, but Ive always been a
dreamer Im a really deter-
mined guy. Trisk, in the end, is a
novel about hope, determination
and will.
Trisk is available in print and
electronic editions through Ama-
zon and through direct order at
www.triskbook.com.
Special to The Sun
Kenny Xu, a 15-year-old sophomore at Princeton High School, poses with his 443-page novel Trisk,
which he published himself.
The following incidents were
taken from reports on file with
the Princeton Police Department:
On June 20, a 31-year-old
woman was charged with stealing
approximately $200 from a co-
workers wallet. She was charged
at Palmer Square after an officer
investigated the allegation.
On June 21 at 2:01 a.m., an offi-
cer pulled over a 24-year-old
Princeton driver who was under
the influence of alcohol. The driv-
er was arrested, and later re-
leased to a relative. She was
charged with driving while intox-
icated, DWI in a school zone and
other motor vehicle charges.
On June 22 at 1:16 a.m., police
responded to a report of a distur-
bance at a private club in the first
block of Maclean Street The po-
lice investigation revealed that a
26-year-old man had assaulted an-
other person with an unknown
cutting weapon. The man was
placed under arrest, transported
to police HQ and was later re-
leased ROR with a pending court
date. The victims injuries were
treated at the scene by PFARS.
On June 22 at 12:30 a.m., an offi-
cer observed a 25-year-old man
smoking suspected marijuana.
The man was placed under ar-
rest, transported to police HQ and
was processed. He was later re-
leased after being issued com-
plaint summonses.
On June 23 at 12:03 a.m., patrols
responded to a social club in the
first block of Prospect Avenue on
a report of an individual on loca-
tion who had caused damage to
the building and was now injured
as a result. The investigation re-
vealed that a 21-year-old man had
punched a window on the first
floor of the building and was
bleeding from his arm. It was also
discovered that the man was
under the influence of a suspect-
ed controlled dangerous sub-
stance. The man was transported
to UMCPP for treatment of his in-
juries, and was charged with
criminal mischief and being
under the influence of CDS. He
was released ROR to the care of
the hospital staff.
On June 25 at 5:26 a.m. the store
manager of Starbucks called po-
lice to report that an individual
was at the store causing a distur-
bance. Patrols were advised that
the individual, a 57-year-old man,
had entered the store and yelled

BURLINGTON COUNTY
By KATIE MORGAN
The Princeton Sun
Princeton University student
Cara McCollum won an $11,000
scholarship and the title of Miss
New Jersey on June 15, and will
go on to compete in the Miss
America pageant this September.
McCollum was competing as
Miss Island Resort. The pageant
she won to qualify for Miss New
Jersey was the first pageant in
which she has ever competed.
McCollum, 20, started a charity
when she was in high school in
her native Arkansas.
When I came up to Princeton
for college, I didnt have the sup-
port I needed to get my charity off
the ground here, McCollum said.
I decided to get into pageants be-
cause of the platforms. Never in a
million years would I have seen
myself doing anything like this. I
just got the idea in my head that
this was how I was going to bring
my charity to New Jersey.
McCollum said that when she
first decided to compete, her fami-
ly was supportive but didnt un-
derstand her motivation.
My parents are the most sup-
portive people in the world, she
said. My dad sat me down and
was like, look, I support you, but
I just dont get it.
McCollums platform centers
on youth literacy. She plans to
spend much of her reign as Miss
New Jersey reading to children in
classrooms and hosting events
that support her message of giv-
ing the gift of reading.
The Miss New Jersey pageant
consists of four components. The
23 contestants took part in talent,
swimsuit, evening gown and in-
terview competitions. McCol-
lums talent was a piano perform-
ance.
McCollum said her least fa-
vorite part of the competition are
the chaperones that are required
to accompany the contestants at
all times.
We have these wonderful
ladies who chaperone us every-
where we go, she said. We cant
go anywhere by ourselves. We
have some very masculine securi-
ty guards, and then we have these
sweet little ladies whove been
hosting the pageant forever.
Theyre so great, but they really
do have to follow us absolutely
everywhere. Im sure its just as
annoying for them as it is for us.
McCollum said her favorite
part of the competition was the
talent portion.
Ive been playing the piano
since kindergarten, so I guess Ive
been practicing that for quite
awhile, she said. As far as the
swimsuit competition, I just
worked out a lot, and I found my
evening gown through Facebook.
It goes to show how little I knew
going into it, but I guess I did
something right.
PU student crowned Miss N.J.
please see MCCOLLUM, page 14
McCollum said she has already
started Miss America Boot
Camp. She is working with per-
sonal trainers and doing frequent
mock interviews to prepare for
the national pageant.
She decided to postpone her
senior year at Princeton, where
she is an English major with a
focus in journalism, to concen-
trate on her responsibilities as
Miss New Jersey.
I have so many appearances
and I want to be so active, Mc-
Collum said. I want to put all my
effort into spreading my message
and really doing a great job.
McCollum commented on the
stereotypes created by television
shows such as Toddlers and
Tiaras and Here Comes Honey
Boo-Boo, and internet videos of
former Miss USA contestants
from South Carolina and Utah
flubbing interview question an-
swers.
Being up on stage is nerve-
wracking, and I can understand
how these girls get tongue-tied,
McCollum said. And I also un-
derstand where this stereotype of
a less-intelligent pageant girl
comes from. I try to be an exam-
ple of a girl who is educated and
ambitious and also a pageant girl.
Sometimes intelligent girls stum-
ble and become YouTube sensa-
tions, but one of my goals is to
disprove that stereotype.

three townhouse buildings.
Discussion at the packed Plan-
ning Board hearing on June 27
centered on testimony from the
Site Plan Review Advisory Board
and the Environmental Commis-
sion. William Wolfe, president of
SPRAB, said the group felt the
new design is much better than
the original plan.
The final vote was unanimous
in recommending to the Planning
Board that they approve this ap-
plication with conditions based
on design standards, Wolfe said.
AvalonBay has seen these condi-
tions, and in many cases were
amenable to working on those
things and coming to subsequent
meetings with changes in de-
sign.
Wolfes recommendations to
the Planning Board included sev-
eral adjustments to the plans as
conditions of approval. He recom-
mended that several zoning vari-
ances be approved for the project,
with the exception of a variance
that would change the minimum
street setback distance for the
buildings along Harris Road.
All the Harris Road residents
have a 25-foot setback, Wolfe
said. To preserve that line, this
building should need to be even
with the rest in the neighbor-
hood. In keeping with the neigh-
borhood street, it is also impor-
tant that there be continuous
sidewalk.
Wolfe also recommended that
AvalonBay increase its planned
bicycle storage to accommodate a
minimum of 200 bicycles. Wolfe
recommended only one signifi-
cant architectural change to the
plans.
We think a major issue is the
two-story bridge between build-
ings one and two, he said. We
feel that more direct and pleasant
outdoor access is important. If
there is a bridge at all, it should
be well-designed and mostly
transparent.
AvalonBay has said it will
maintain its commitment to en-
suring that at least 20 percent of
the total housing units qualify as
affordable housing. Wolfe recom-
mended the affordable units,
which were previously clustered
in less-desirable areas of the de-
velopment, be redistributed.
The units should be on all
floors and orientations of both
buildings to the extent possible,
Wolfe said.
Wendy Kazzerski represented
the Environmental Commission,
and delivered a report to the Plan-
ning Board that agreed the board
should approve the project, but
with conditions.
We believe it should be a con-
dition of approval that Avalon-
Bay commit to recycle 75 percent
of demolition and construction
waste at a minimum, Kazzerski
said. We also strongly recom-
mend that AvalonBay reconsider
their decision not to provide resi-
dents with food waste composting
opportunities.
Kazzerski said she was pleased
the developer intended to look
into green, environmentally
friendly building materials and
methods, but asked for a firm
commitment.
We want to ask for a commit-
ment to the energy efficient meas-
ures that AvalonBay has said it
will evaluate, Kazzerski said.
Overall, the Environmental
Commission felt the redesigned
plan was much better than the
previous plan it had seen.
I want to commend Avalon-
Bay for all the green building im-
provements it intends to make,
Kazzerski said. Its come a long
way since the first time around.
Jon Vogel, AvalonBays vice
president of the project, said
AvalonBay representatives were
present at the meetings of SPRAB
and the Environmental Commis-
sion where these recommenda-
tions were shaped.
We were there, and we were
able to absorb a lot of the recom-
mendations, Vogel said. Some
are being integrated into the
plans already. For instance, we
have already redistributed the af-
fordable housing units.
More testimony will be heard
at three subsequent Planning
Board hearings scheduled for
July 11, 18 and 25. The deadline
for the Planning Board to act on
the application is Aug. 14.
