Princeton celebrates Veterans Day
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
Princeton celebrated Veterans
Day on Nov. 11 with a ceremony at
the All Wars Monument on the
corner of Nassau and Mercer
streets.
Herb Hobler, the keynote
speaker and a 91-year-old World
War II veteran, told a moving
story that he dedicated especial-
ly to the young people in the audi-
ence.
Hobler told the story of his
friend, Thurman Walling, who
flew 30 missions over Japan as a
B-29 gunner. Walling was killed in
1945 when his flight back to the
United States crashed.
This is a picture of my friend
Wally, a magnificent young man,
Hobler said, showing the crowd a
photograph of Walling. He was
almost a veteran. So respect us
old folks, and respect the veterans
who are coming home now. Weve
all lost people.
Another Princeton-based or-
ganization, the New Jersey Hos-
pital Association, announced a
program on Nov. 11 that will aid
veterans who fought in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
NJHA received a grant from
the Robert Wood Johnson Foun-
dation to hire veterans and train
them as certified application
counselors to assist customers
who are exploring insurance op-
tions under the Affordable Care
Act.
Because veterans offer a
unique set of skills, discipline
and leadership abilities devel-
oped during their years in the
military, they are ideal candidates
to fill the role of CACs, Aline
Holmes, director of the NJHA In-
stitute for Quality and Patient
Safety, said in a release. This is
just a new deployment of their
skills in service to others.
NJHA worked with state Labor
Department officials to hire 25
veterans who are currently com-
pleting training on the new
health insurance marketplace, as
well as state-based programs like
NJ FamilyCare. Once they are
certified, the veterans will be de-
ployed in hospitals and communi-
ty sites across the state to answer
questions and provide assistance
in the enrollment process.

DOH declares meningitis outbreak at school
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
A male Princeton University
student developed symptoms of
meningococcal disease on Nov. 8,
marking the seventh case in what
the state Department of Health
has declared an outbreak at the
school.
Given that we now have seven
individuals diagnosed with Neis-
seria meningitis type B in a short
period of time, in an abundance
of caution, this remains to be
considered an outbreak, the
DOH said in a statement. We
hope that by considering this an
outbreak, we will increase aware-
ness and prompt early case recog-
nition among members of the
Princeton community and health-
care providers.
Meningococcal disease is a se-
vere infection that can affect the
blood or the brain and spinal
cord. Bacteria cause the disease,
and left untreated it can progress
rapidly, leading to shock, death,
hearing loss, brain damage and
limb amputations.
Councilwoman Heather
Howard, the Councils liaison to
the Board of Health, said the
board has been working in con-
junction with the universitys
health department, the state DOH
and the Centers for Disease Con-
trol to prevent the spread of the
disease on campus and in the sur-
rounding community.
Although no members of the
broader Princeton community
have been diagnosed, its still re-
ally important to recommend that
people protect themselves,
Howard said. Were reminding
people about personal hygiene
and also the signs and symptoms
of the disease. Were also working
with university health services,
the state and the CDC to identify
ways to limit the spread of the
disease. The university is trying
some innovative ways to convince
students to not share cups and
things like that.
The town, university and state
have provided online resources
outlining the early symptoms of
the disease and how it spreads.
The bacteria are spread by ex-
changing respiratory and throat
secretions during close or lengthy
contact, especially if living in the
same dorm or household, the
state DOH website says. Many
people carry the bacteria in their
throats without getting meningo-
coccal disease. Since so many peo-
ple carry the bacteria, most cases
of meningococcal disease appear
to be random.
According to Princeton Univer-
sity spokesman Martin Mbugua,
the first six cases diagnosed on
the campus have been linked to
the same bacterial strain. The
most recent case is still being test-
ed to determine a connection. All
university students are vaccinat-
ed against the disease, but the
vaccine is ineffective against the
B subtype.
State law requires all Prince-
ton students living in dorms to
have received the licensed menin-
gitis vaccine, which protects
against most strains of the bacte-
ria, but not type B, Mbugua said
in an email.
Howard encouraged all Prince-
ton community members to visit
the towns website, where there
are links to state DOH frequently
asked questions about the dis-
ease.
The first six students
diagnosed with meningitis have
recovered, and the DOH said
there is no reason to avoid contact
with the university or its stu-
dents.
There is no recommendation
for the surrounding community
to avoid contact with Princeton or
Princeton students, the site says.
Sporadic cases of meningococ-
cal disease are not unusual on
residential campuses.
Princeton receives AAA rating
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
Princeton has received AAA
bond ratings from Standard and
Poors and Moodys, two promi-
nent financial companies that
rank the creditworthiness of bor-
rowers using a standardized rat-
ing scale.
Of the 565 total municipalities
in New Jersey, Princeton is
one of only 17 to receive an AAA
rating.
Were on very solid financial
footing, Mayor Liz Lempert said.
This is an affirmation of that.
Lempert said Princeton pre-
sented a complicated case, be-
cause the rating agencies take a
municipalitys financial history
into account, and Princeton has
only been a consolidated munici-
pality for less than a year.
One of the challenges we had-
nt anticipated was that because
were a new government, we dont
have the history these agencies
look for, Lempert said. They
had a hard time figuring out what
our history was, even though
Princeton isnt exactly a new
town. It did take some work in
convincing them and walking
them through that.
Princetons AAA rating is the
highest possible rating a borrow-
er can receive. According to Stan-
dard and Poors rating scale, the
AAA rating denotes a borrower
with an extremely strong capaci-
ty to meet its financial commit-
ments.
Municipal Administrator Bob
Bruschi said the rating agencies
noted that Princeton has a signifi-
cant amount of debt.
Our debt load is somewhat
high for a town of our size, Br-
uschi said. Thats something
were keeping an eye on with cap-
ital projects and policies going
forward.
Kathy Monzo, the towns direc-
tor of finance, said the debt load
did not negatively affect the agen-
cies ratings.
They did look at and identify a
high net debt, Monzo said. But
they also made mention that we
have an aggressive payback
schedule, paying back more than
75 percent of our debt within 10
years.
Monzo, in a report to the
Princeton Council on Nov. 12,
identified some of the specific
factors the rating agencies looked
at in Princeton.
They determined that we have
a very strong economy here in
Princeton, Monzo said. We have
a wealthy tax base, and we have
very strong budget flexibility and
strong budgetary performance.
They also felt we have good liq-
uidity levels, high reserve levels
and strong fiscal management
conditions. All in all, we got the
highest ratings that can be as-
signed, and its really a positive fi-
nancial outlook for us.
In Lemperts report at the Nov.
12 meeting, she thanked the mu-
nicipal officials who worked with
the credit rating agencies.
I want to thank Kathy Monzo
and [Chief Financial Officer]
Sandy Webb, Lempert said. I
also want to thank the Citizens
Finance Advisory Committee for
the work they did to secure these
ratings. This is a great sign that
our finances are strong. Its an
outside, independent verification
of that.
The White House and Presi-
dent Obama have come under
fire in the last month because of
technical glitches in the initial
rollout of the online insurance
marketplace at www.Health-
care.gov.
While the open enrollment
period began on Oct. 1 and is
due to end March 31, various
news outlets have reported that
fewer than 50,000 people have
signed up for private insurance
plans through the marketplace.
That number remained un-
confirmed at press time, though
the Department of Health and
Human Services planned to re-
lease the figures before the end
of November.
The veterans hired by NJHA
will assist customers who had
trouble or were unable to enroll
online, helping to compare
plans and coverage via phone or
by filling out a paper applica-
tion.
Betsy Ryan, NJHA president
and CEO, believes the program
is a win-win, as it benefits peo-
ple who need health care as well
as employing veterans. Accord-
ing to the state Department of
Labor, the unemployment rate
for New Jersey veterans is 10
percent.
This is a wonderful example
of a boots-on-the-ground pro-
gram that can make a real dif-
ference in the lives of the veter-
ans who secure good jobs, and
the uninsured individuals and
families they will help access
health-care coverage, Ryan
said.
The program is funded for
one year. More information is
available at www.njha.com/re-
form/gethelp.

The following are reports from
the Princeton Police Department.
On Nov. 4 at 9:19 a.m., the prin-
cipal of the St. Pauls School
called police to report that some-
time between Oct. 31 and Nov. 4,
an unknown person removed $100
from the school cafeteria. At the
time of the report, it was un-
known if anything else was miss-
ing from the school.
On Nov. 4 at 9:57 a.m., patrols
responded to the 600 block of
Kingston Road on the report of a
suspicious person in the back-
yard of several houses in that
area. Contact was made with a 30-
year-old woman, and after a brief
investigation, it was discovered
that she had entered at least one
property that was enclosed by a
fence. The woman was placed
under arrest for criminal tres-
passing, and it was also discov-
ered that $550 in active warrants
existed for her. She was transport-
ed to police headquarters,
processed and turned over to
West Windsor police on their out-
standing warrant.
On Nov. 5 at 9:47 a.m., a 43-year-
old woman was arrested at police
headquarters after a detective
completed an investigation into
the theft of a watch that was re-
ported to police on Oct. 5. The sus-
pect was released after she posted
10 percent of the $5,000 bail.
On Nov. 7 at 9:55 a.m., subse-
quent to a motor vehicle stop, the
driver was placed under arrest
after it was discovered that he fur-
nished the officer with a false
name, and that active warrants
existed for him. The driver was
transported to police headquar-
ters where he was charged with
hindering apprehension and tam-
pering with public documents. He
was released on his own recogni-
zance on all charges, with a court
date pending.
On Nov. 8 at 1:38 a.m., during a
motor vehicle stop, active war-
rants in the amount of $295 were
located for the 23-year-old driver
out of East Windsor Municipal
Court. The driver was placed
under arrest, transported to po-
lice headquarters and was later
released after posting bail.
On Nov. 9 at 4:46 p.m., a victim
reported to police that sometime
overnight on Nov. 8, an unknown
person entered their home
through an unlocked door and re-
moved an iPad and the victims
wallet. The total amount of the
theft was approximately $600.
On Nov. 9 at 2:41 p.m., police re-
ceived a call from a victim report-
ing that sometime between 2:15
a.m. and 2:45 a.m. on Nov. 9, her
wallet was taken from a table at
the Quadrangle Club while it was
left unattended for approximately
30 minutes. The value of the wal-
let and the cash inside totaled ap-
proximately $95.
On Nov. 9 at 9:50 a.m., a caller
reported to police that sometime
over the past several weeks, an
unknown person removed art-
work and furniture from their
home. The home had been listed
though a Realtor during that time
period and it is believed that the
items were removed while the
home was being shown. The total
amount of the theft is estimated
at $650.
On Nov. 11 at 11:04 a.m., a vic-
tim came to police headquarters
to report that sometime between
7:20 p.m. and 8:20 p.m. on Nov. 10,
an unknown person removed her
purse and its contents from her
unlocked bedroom of her home.
The victim stated that there were
persons in the house at the time
of the theft who did not live in the
house. The total amount of the
theft was unknown at the time of
the report.

C
ontroversy surrounds almost
every bill that is proposed at
the state government level. If
the actual effects of the bill dont come
in question, then the partisanship of
it, or the motivation behind it, are
often scrutinized.
But a bill that was proposed recently
by state Sen. Richard Codey doesnt fit
into that category, at least in the world
according to us.
Codeys bill would expand New Jer-
seys distracted driving law to include
drivers who are temporarily stopped
whether in a traffic jam, red light or
stop sign. Basically, it would ban all
use of a cell phone while a person is
seated in the drivers seat of a vehicle.
The bill would also require the written
drivers test to include questions on
distracted driving.
When explaining his position on the
bill, Codey referred to the states DUI
law: If youre at a red light and youre
drunk, youre DUI, he said.
Makes perfect sense to us. Drivers
can be distracted, and cause major ac-
cidents, even if they are temporarily
stopped. How many times have you
seen other drivers because youve
never done this, right? hurriedly ac-
celerate at a light after they realize,
when they look up from their phone,
that the light has turned green? Situa-
tions like this can cause accidents.
Opponents of the bill, if they can be
considered this, are saying that the
true motives behind the bill are ques-
tionable. Even Codey admitted to this,
at least partially, saying that the real
aim of the bill is to put New Jersey in
line with federal standards for the Dis-
tracted Driving Grant Program. Cur-
rently, the states law isnt in line with
these standards, so it doesnt qualify
for grants.
To that, we say: Who cares?
Who cares if the motive behind en-
hancing New Jerseys distracted driv-
ing law is to receive federal grant
money? That money would be put to
use to educate and discourage people
from driving distracted.
Its not Codeys fault, or the Legisla-
tures fault, that the federal govern-
ment requires certain standards to re-
ceive grant money. Since that money
will go to good use, we should do what
is necessary to get it.
The only thing that should matter
here is the safety of those on the road,
and this bill enhances that safety.
Get off your phone!
Legislature should pass bill to ban phone usage for drivers
Your thoughts
How do you feel about enhanced dis-
tracted driving laws? Is it enough?
Should more be done? Are legislators
taking it too far? Share your thoughts

Resolution passed to reroute funds
By KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
The Princeton Council unanimously
passed a resolution on Nov. 12 that will
reroute funds from a 2006 Mercer County
At-Play Grant to potentially complete three
projects in town.
The county awarded the $767,660 grant
to the former borough and township in
2006 to pay for the installation of synthetic
turf athletic fields at Greenway Meadows
Park.
The grant requirements called for the
towns to provide matching funds, and the
Princeton Township Committee and
Princeton Borough Council approved fund-
ing in the amount of $383,830 to support
the synthetic turf project.
This project has run into many hurdles
since 2006, and the proposed location of
this new field has been changed twice
since the grant was awarded in 2006, Ben
Stentz, executive director of the municipal
Department of Recreation, wrote in a let-
ter accompanying the resolution. Also
during this time, the Community Park
Pool project gained momentum and
was given a green light, therefore pushing
the artificial turf project to the back burn-
er.
The 2006 grants, totaling $6,287,052, fund-
ed 18 projects in other Mercer County mu-
nicipalities. Princeton is the only munici-
pality that has not utilized the grant
money it received.
Mercer County has made it very clear
that they are expecting the municipality to
choose a suitable project and to take action
on the grant program soon, as we are the
only remaining town that has not used the
funding, Stentz wrote. Mercer County
wants to close out this program and our
funding is in jeopardy of being lost.
To avoid losing the grant money, the
Princeton Council agreed with the passage
of the resolution to transfer the funds to
projects at the Mary Moss Park Pool, Com-
munity Park South and the Valley Road
School building.

Resident photographers
exhibit will be at college
Photos of Mercer County loca-
tions will be on display at Mercer
County Community College from
Nov. 19 to Dec. 18. Local photogra-
phers were asked to submit pho-
tos that feature the people,
places, things and events that
make Mercer County a special
place to live, work, study and
enjoy.
The exhibition celebrates the
countys 175th anniversary.
Among the 29 photographers
are Princeton residents Elsie
Allen, Richard DeFalco, Lionel
Goodman, Janet Hautau, Jody
Kendall, Charles Plohn and San-
dra Shapiro.
Trenton Times photographer
Michael Mancuso chose the pho-
tos for the exhibition.
There will be an opening recep-
tion and awards ceremony on
Nov. 20 from 5 to 7:30 p.m.
The MCCC Gallery is located
on the second floor of the Com-
munication Building on the West
Windsor campus. More informa-
tion is available at
www.mccc.edu/gallery.
Despite limit, group
applies for liquor license
A restaurant that will be built
in Princeton Universitys new
Arts and Transit neighborhood is
seeking a liquor license, despite
the fact that Princeton has al-
ready reached its maximum num-
ber of state-issued licenses.
Raoul Momo, the head of Terra
Momo Restaurant Group, hopes
to take advantage of a loophole by
applying for a concessionaires
permit, a special permission
granted to business deemed to be
of public benefit.
Momo has explained in inter-
views that the Arts and Transit
neighborhood will revitalize
that whole area of the town.
Princeton Mayor Liz Lempert
supports Momo in his request for
a concessionaires permit. Lem-
pert wrote a letter to the state Di-
vision of Alcoholic Beverage
Control, noting that the Terra
Momo Group has an established
relationship with the community.
Momo operates popular area
eateries Mediterra, Teresa Caffe
and Eno Terra. The universitys
$330 million Arts and Transit
neighborhood will include both
the Terra Momo-operated restau-
rant and a small caf. The two lo-
cations will share the concession-
aires permit if it is granted.
News site obtains
recording of 911 call
Two weeks after the Mercer
County Prosecutors Office an-
nounced that no charges would be
filed against Princeton Council-
woman Jo Butler for a 911 call she
made in September, Princeton
Patch obtained a recording of the
call.
Butler placed the call from the
Dinky station on Sept. 18. On the
recording, Butler can be heard
asking the male dispatcher if she
has reached public safety or the
police.
The dispatcher says, this is
911, where are you? Butler then
hangs up.
The male dispatcher then calls
her back.
You know what? Butler says
when she picks up the call. Im
an elected official and Im stand-
ing in the parking lot of the
Dinky station, and I simply want
to know whether this is public
safety or the police?
Butler has been vocal about
her concerns regarding the rout-
ing of 911 calls both on and off
the Princeton University campus.
According to the New Jersey
Criminal Code, placing a call to
911 without an emergency to re-
port is a fourth degree offense.
The prosecutors office, howev-
er, declined to charge Butler with
a crime.
NOVEMBER 2026, 2013 THE PRINCETON SUN 9
In the Nov. 13-19 edition of The

votes for Marie Corfield, 31,395

will be installed. The athletic
fields at Community Park South
will be upgraded, and if there are
additional funds remaining when
those projects are completed, they
will be used to update the gymna-
sium within the renovated sec-
tion of the Valley Road School
building.
The existing wading pool at
Mary Moss Park has shown struc-
tural signs of deterioration, has
no water filtration system, which
presents significant challenges in
maintaining clean, safe water,
and it does not meet current
Americans With Disabilities
codes for accessibility, the reso-
lution reads. Community Park
South, based on its size and loca-
tion in the relative center of
town, is the centerpiece of the
municipal active recreation in-
ventory, and needs a thorough fea-
sibility study regarding field up-
grades.
Regarding the Valley Road
gymnasium, the resolution says
that an upgraded facility will be
an important recreational space
for both the Princeton Recreation
Department and the Princeton
Public Schools to administer
their respective and joint ex-
tracurricular sport programs.
Councilmembers felt that the
rerouting of the funds was the
right choice, and were eager to
pass the resolution.
I think it sounds like a great
idea, Councilwoman Jenny Cru-
miller said. These are great proj-
ects.
Stentz said he would be submit-
ting the project proposals to the
county now that the resolution
has passed.
I am poised to submit an offi-
cial re-application to Mercer
County for the projects, Stentz
said. The county requires that
the municipality pass a resolu-
tion supporting the projects prior
to reviewing our reapplication.
