    Princeton celebrates Pi DayBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    Since 2010, Princeton has beenhome to the stateslargest-scalecelebration of Pi Day on March14. The date, 3-14,which corre-sponds to the mathematical con-stant pi (3.14), is alsothe birthdayof Albert Einstein, who spent thelast years of his lifeas a residentof Mercer Street.

    Einstein loved Princeton. Hesaid hed been exiled toparadise,Mimi Omiecinski, Pi Dayfounder, said. One of themostcelebrated mathematicians in theworld made this his home,andhis birthday happens to be Pi Day.If there can be anyheadquartersfor an annual celebration of mathand science, itsPrinceton.

    The biggest events of thisyears Pi Day celebration wereheldMarch 9 and 10.

    Princeton Public Library spon-

    sored a kids violin contest, anEinstein look-a-likecompetitionand a Pi recitation contest.

    The Historical Society ofPrinceton hosted tours and chil-drensactivities, McCaffreys Su-permarket hosted a pie-eatingcompetitionand Nassau Innsponsored a pie-throwing eventand a pie-judgingcontest.

    There are so many differentplayers that I think bring their

    very best to the table, Omiecins-ki said. Pi Day Princetoncouldnot do this without everyone.Without all the Princetonentitiesthat sponsor our events and giveus the space to have them,thiscould never happen. My responsi-bility is to sculpt theseevents, but

    they give the space and they staffthem. And thats not evenmen-tioning the merchants who givediscounts and promote theevents.Its a true collaboration,and I dont think that many com-munitiescould pull it off. Prince-ton is such a generous place.

    The winner of the violin con-test was 5-year-old Elise Hwang,and18-month-old Luisa Bonnertook top honors at the EinsteinLook-A-Likecompetition.

    2 THE PRINCETON SUN MARCH 20-26, 2013

    BOE rejects community center proposalBy KATIE MORGANThePrinceton Sun

    The Princeton Board of Educa-tion on March 5 denied a proposalbythe Valley Road School Adap-tive Reuse Committee to turnthebuilding into a community cen-ter.

    The resolution, passed 9-1, out-lines a number of reasonsfordenying the proposal, including

    concerns about funding to reno-vate the building.

    VRS-ARC, by its proposal, hasfailed to provide the boardwithcredible, documented assurancesthat it has or can securefundingadequate for the extremely exten-sive renovations necessarytomake 369 Witherspoon safe forthe uses contemplated by thepro-posal, the resolution said.

    The resolution was passedwithout prejudice, meaningthat theprojects supporters cancome back to the school boardwith a newproposal that address-

    es the boards concerns.Kip Cherry, a member of the

    VRS-ARC, said she understoodthe board members hesitation.

    We think what they were say-ing is they felt we were notfarenough along in answering theirquestions, she said. Webelievethat the funding is there withinthe community, but ourpotentialdonors have been concernedabout not knowing wheretheschool board is going. We feel thatby taking the steps the boardhasindicated need to be taken, thefunding will come, theprojectwill take shape, and the boardwill feel a greater sense thatwecan accomplish the goal.

    In addition, the resolution said

    the committee expected theschool board to take responsibili-tyfor the zoning changes neces-sary to turn the building into a

    community center.Cherry said the VRS-ARC has

    formed a subcommittee to ad-dress the zoning and parking is-suesassociated with the project.

    Weve formed a subcommitteeto pursue the zoning and park-ing, shesaid. The mayor isplanning a parking study of thewhole area, andwed like to be apart of that study. The next step isto sit downwith Lee Solow of thePlanning Board and go over theprocess withhim.

    Cherry said the subcommitteehas crafted a zoning amendment

    and will take responsibility forcommunicating with thezoningboard and the Princeton Council.

    The amendment includes re-

    quirements for parking, but thereis a lot of thinking that needstogo into the parking issue, Cherrysaid. Theres opportunity hereforpeople to weigh in. Some ofthe neighbors around the schoolareinvolved and their supporthas been great for us.

    Cherry said she is confidentthat the VRS-ARC will be abletopresent the board with a morecomplete proposal in the nearfu-ture.

    Its a resolution without preju-dice, so theres nothingstoppingus from going back with some an-

    swers to their questions, Cherrysaid. We remain veryoptimisticand positive that we can makethis happen.

    OK, so maybe you have a Nookor a Kindle, but you still loveex-ceptional books filled with richphotos and illustrations tograceyour home or office. You also lovea great deal, and never misstheannual Bryn-Mawr WellesleyBook Sale. Its almost thattimeagain!

    This years sale promises to beunique. In addition to tensofthousand of books on subjectsfrom archery and architecturetoyouth books and zoos, the five-dayevent will sell off theimpressivebook collection of the late PeterOppenheimer ofPrinceton. Op-

    penheimer was a book collector ofwide-ranging interests, andhisfamily has donated his collectionof more than 15,000 volumesonphilosophy, math, history, art,music, literary criticism andbi-ography. It even includes a 1968first edition of Tom Wolfespiv-otal work, The Electric Kool-AidAcid Test.

    Other exciting offerings in-clude a Beatrix Potter collection;astunning three-volume Sothe-bys auction catalog describing

    the contents of Chateau de Grous-say; The Solitude of Ravens,agorgeous photography book; an1878 manual on archery plusothertitles on the sport; and LesOeuvres d'architecture d'An-toine LePautre, architecteorginaire du Roy which featuresdetailed 17thcentury architectur-al castle drawings.

    Due to the spring holidays,there are no weekend sale daysthisyear, but we are open late

    every evening.Preview Day: March 25, 10 a.m.

    to 5 p.m. $20 per personFree Public Days: March 26, 10

    a.m. to 9 p.m.; March 27 10 a.m. to9 p.m.; March 28 (half priceday)10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and March 29(box day), 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

    According to Betsy Bennett,one of the sale volunteers whohelpedsort and price the books,There are so many books, we canfeatureonly half this year. Therest have been set aside for the2014sale.

    Oppenheimers collection willbe displayed in two areas, one onthemain sale floor, the other inCollectors Corner the section

    set aside for rare books. Many ofthe books amassed byOppen-heimer were published by Univer-sity presses and most are innew,or like-new condition.

    When the family asked if theycould donate 400-500 boxes ofbooks,we were stunned by thesize of the donation, says SarahFerguson, thesales warehousemanager. When we got to hishome, we saw a forest ofneatlystacked books with only a fewpaths to navigate from oneroom

    to another. The quality of thesescholarly books was farbeyondour expectations.

    Who was this bibliophile?Peter Oppenheimer was born inNew YorkCity to parents who val-ued education. Books and musicwere a verylarge part of his up-bringing the house was full ofboth. His motherwas a musicianand a Renaissance woman, hisfather was a mechanicalengineerwith an interest in language. Both

    provided fertile soil for Peter'sbrain. Young Peter beganreading

    at age 3 and was not only interest-ed in everything he read butre-membered it all as well. He begancollecting books in highschooland took notes in tiny print on 4 x6 cards on every book heread. Hissister, Lucie recalled that, Heread not just words orsentences,but whole paragraphs at a time.He was a virtualencyclopedia.His younger brother remarked,Before there was Google,therewas Peter.

    Oppenheimer was trained inphilosophy and symbolic logic attheUniversity of Chicago and en-listed in the Peace Corps and

    worked in East Africa in the1960's. When he returned, hetaughtmath and philosophy inSaint Louis and eventually movedto Princetonwhere he worked atthe Witherspoon Art and BookStore. The BrynMawr-WellesleyBook Sale staff is delighted thatthe family chosethis venue to dis-play and sell this magnificent col-lection to aidarea students.

    letters to the editor

    in our opinion

    The news from RomeA new pope affects even non-Catholics, too

    6 THE PRINCETON SUN MARCH 20-26, 2013

    Roman Catholics throughout

    the world are celebrating the

    election of the first-ever Pope

    Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge

    Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires.

    First pope from the New World, first

    pope from Latin America, first Jesuit

    (Catholicisms intellectual backbone),by all accounts atheological conserva-

    tive, by all accounts a passionate advo-

    cate for the poor and the powerless.

    Why should non-Catholics care? Be-

    cause the Vatican is said to represent a

    billion people throughout the world,

    thats why, including many of their

    neighbors and co-workers. According

    to the 2013 Yearbook of American and

    Canadian Churches, the Catholic

    Church is the largest single Christian

    denomination in the United States,

    with more than 77 million members.

    Thats a quarter of the U.S. popula-

    tion.

    Any substantive discussion of the

    Roman Catholic Church has to start

    from a recognition that were talking

    about something very old, very big

    and very complex. A distinction needs

    to be drawn between the people in the

    pews and the hierarchy that speaks for

    the church. Its not a distinction easily

    drawn, true, but it exists. The hierar-

    chy is on the right of many American

    Catholics on issues of gender, sexuali-

    ty and reproductive rights. The hierar-chy is on the left ofmany American

    Catholics and this needs to be em-

    phasized on issues of economic jus-

    tice, war and peace, and the environ-

    ment.

    All we hear about is the pedophilia

    scandal and its shocking coverup by

    many bishops, and reports of finan-

    cial shenanigans in Rome. As impor-

    tant as these issues are, as imperative

    as it is that the new pope clean house,

    top to bottom, this is only part of the

    picture.

    By all reports, pedophile priests con-

    stitute a minuscule fraction of the

    Catholic clergy. What about all the

    other priests and the members of reli-

    gious orders, the ones who faithfully

    tend the flock? Some of them do so

    heroically, as is often the case in the

    inner cities and the rural areas. We

    rarely see them on CNN. But theyre

    the Catholic Church, too.

    The most superficial survey of

    Princetons Catholic community dis-

    closes an extensive web of philan-

    thropic commitment and social serv-ice, evidenced by checkswritten and

    labor volunteered.

    The Office of Catholic Social Servic-

    es of the Diocese of Trenton 12 agen-

    cies, not counting hospitals and

    schools is an indispensable partner

    in Central Jerseys social safety net.

    No Catholic of our acquaintance is

    less than horrified, pained, embar-

    rassed and angered by the betrayal of

    Christian values and church canons

    that the scandals entail.

    They want change. And so, appar-

    ently, do the cardinals who elected this

    pope.

    Good luck, Your Holiness. All people

    of good will not just the sheep of

    your fold are counting on your

    courage.

    Republican committeewelcomes potential candidates

    Do you believe that ever-increasingproperty taxes and electedofficials pursu-ing their own agendas are negatively im-pacting ourquality of life in Princeton?

    Are you tired of never-ending litigationand costly taxpayerfinanced settlements?Have you concluded that one-party munici-palgovernment is unlikely to result in out-comes to the benefit of allPrinceton resi-dents?

    Local Republicans offer much-needed di-versity of thought andexperience. Prince-ton voters increasingly agree that Republi-canscould bring fresh perspective to mud-dled local governance. This isevidenced bythe fact that Republican candidates formayor in thepast two years received 40percent of the vote four times thenumber

    of registered Princeton Republicans.The June 4 primary and theNovember

    general election will choose two PrincetonCouncil members whowill help governour newly consolidated community. ThePrincetonRepublican Committee wel-

    comes expressions of interest from poten-tial candidates. Youcould be on the ballotas a running mate of popularGov.Christie!

    The primary filing deadline is April 1.We also welcomevolunteers who want tohelp in getting out the vote andactivelysupport Republican candidates.

    By RABBI ANNIE TUCKERThe Jewish Center of Princeton

    Over the past years, I have hadthe good fortune to attendmanywonderful seders, including thoseled by my beloved father andbygood friends in this communityand others. Let me share awon-derful tradition introduced to meby the Lebeau-Batnitzkyfamily,with whom my mom and I had the

    pleasure of celebrating Passoverlast April.On theLebeau-Batnitzky seder-

    plate each year there is the requi-site haroset and bitterherbs, thesalt water and karpas for dipping,the shank-bone and theegg. Butin addition to all of these items,sitting in a proud placeof promi-nence is something that I hadnever quite seen before inthiscontext a well-worn, well-loved,

    dirt-encrusted baseball.Why a baseball on the seder

    plate, you might ask?Bob explained to me that there

    are actually two reasons. The firstis that, in his family, wheresportsplay such an important role, base-ball is the quintessentialsymbolof spring a reminder of thehope, possibility and renewalthatthe holiday of Pesach is meant toinvoke. More importantly,howev-

    er, the baseball sits on the seder-plate to do exactly what itdid forme to inspire guests to ask ques-tions, for this, truly, isthe goal ofthe seder ritual.

    Seder night is meant to be atime to tell the story of theExo-dus, catering the way in whichthis narrative is delivered totheunique ages and personalities sit-ting around one's ownpersonalfamily table. It is a time to engage

    participants through discussionand song, through study anddrama,through asking and elicit-

    ing questions and searching fortheir answers. While many ofushave become reliant on the won-derful haggadot which exist tohelpus craft the seder rite, thesebooks are simply meant to bere-sources rather than scripts

    jumping-off points to which wemight add and subtract,embellishand augment.

    As seder leader, our job is tocreate a "lesson plan" forsedernight drawing from the hag-gadah and other places toorgan-

    ize a series of readings, activities,songs and experiences thatwillallow our guests to enter into thedrama of the Passoverstory.

    Here are 14 quick suggestions(in honor of the 14 steps oftheseder) to help reinvigorate and re-imagine seder night,althoughthese are by no means exhaustive.Please feel free to useour TJCblog to offer your own good ideasand to share activitiesthat haveproven successful at your family'sseder table. I lookforward tolearning from your collective wis-dom and experience!

    1.) Creative Introductions: Askeach guest to come to sederwithan object that represents freedom.Begin the seder by goingaroundthe table and sharing these selec-tions.

    2.) Paper-bag Dramatics: Placepaper bags filled with asmallnumber of random household ob-

    jects underneath the chair of eachguest (or each child). As theseder

    continues, the goal is to find a wayto connect each item in thebag tosomething in the seder. Creativityis most certainlyencouraged!(For example, one could pull out apaper fastener as thegroup starts

    to talk about matzoh because thisis the food that "binds ourpeopletogether as Jews.")

    3.) Assignments in Advance:Give each guest a small task orpieceof preparation that she/heis to bring to seder in order to en-hancethe ritual. For small chil-dren, this could be as easy asdrawing apicture or practicing asong, for older children, prepar-ing a shortskit (or rap or haiku)or researching a modern day free-dom-fighterto which we mightdedicate one of the cups of wine.Adults can alsobe given home-work in advance, ideally assign-

    ments which connect to their par-ticular areas of interest orexpert-ise (i.e. a history professor couldbe asked to researcharcheologi-cal/other evidence that exists re-garding the events inEgyptwhereas a feminist could be askedto come up with ways toincorpo-rate women's voices into the sederritual).

    4.) Tweeting the Exodus: Sendthe following video toparticipantsbefore sedernight:http://www.aish.com/h/pes/mm/Passover_Google_Exodus.html.Encourageeach guest to write(and bring with them) the story ofthe Exodus in140 characters orless.

    5.) Food, Glorious Food: Extendthe karpas (greenvegetable/appe-tizer) course by having lots ofhors d'oeuvres out onthe tableduring the first part of the sederso that participantsdon't get toohungry.

    6.) Engaging Young Children:

    Check out this terrific resourceput together by Rabbi RobSchein-berg of the United SynagogueofHoboken:https://sites.google.com/site/sederideasforkids/home.

    7.) Mad Libs (this idea is cour-tesy of the Feldstein family):Inadvance of the seder, put togethera Mad Libs style version oftheExodus story, strategically remov-ing key nouns, adjectives,verbs,etc. from the narrative and askingguests to supply theseinstead. Onseder night, read the story com-plete with theparticipants' substi-tutions much humor will ensue!

    8.) Pesach Jeopardy: Check out

    the following website which con-tains real, live Pesachquestionsthat have been used on Jeopardythroughout theyears:http://babaganewz.com/games/jewpardy-pesach. Write downthequestions in advance and inter-sperse them throughout thesederas a way of keeping things lively.

    9.) Chad Gadya (this idea iscourtesy of the Feldmanfamily):Assign each guest a particularverse (and character) of thesongChad Gadya. As the group comes

    to that line, the guest is responsi-ble for making a sound thatcorre-sponds to his/her character. Forextra fun, purchase (ormake)masks that also correspond toeach character and haveguestswear them during the song.

    10.) Multiple Haggadot: In addi-tion to the haggadot that you,as agroup, are using, have copies ofother books on the table anden-courage guests to use/perusethem at will. Invite participantstoshare interesting tidbits thatthey find and especially placesinwhich different haggadot seem tohave different approaches toaparticular element of the seder.

    11.) The Four Children: Lastyear I put together a resourcepacketof readings, activities, andreflections all based around thetext ofThe Four Children. For acopy, please email me at[emailprotected].

    12.) Order of the Seder: Find acreative way of depicting the14

    different steps of the seder ritualand marking one'sprogressthrough them. My professor,Rabbi Steve Brown, designed14

    BOE adopts tentative budgetBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

    The Board of Education has

    adopted a tentative budget for the2013-2014 school year thatwouldraise taxes by less than $150, onaverage, for Princetonresidents.The $84.24 million proposed budg-et, adopted March 5, hasbeen sub-mitted to the Mercer County su-perintendent of schools forap-proval.

    As a result of consolidation,the 2013-2014 budget is thefirstthat will result in an equal tax in-crease across themunicipality.The amount to be raised throughtaxation is $64.7million, whichrepresents a $148.59 increase forthe average homeassessed at$799,600.

    The board of education willhold a public hearing on thebudget onMarch 21 at the JohnWitherspoon Middle School cafe-teria.

    Though the public will have anopportunity to weigh in onthebudget, they will not have an op-

    portunity to vote on it, as in previ-ous years. As part of astate in-centive for the district to moveschool board elections toNovem-

    ber, the board is able to pass thebudget without a public vote,pro-vided it stays within the states 2percent cap.

    Superintendent Judith Wilsonsaid the budget process didnotchange as a result of the new ap-proval process, and she felttheboards decision to move the elec-tions was well thought out.

    The process is exactly thesame as in previous years interms ofneed analysis, caps,timelines, state Department ofEducationapprovals and publicbudget hearings, Wilson said.The onlydifference is that thereis no public vote in April. TheBoard ofEducation did not movethe election in 2012 when thechoice was firstavailable as itwanted to weigh all options, and,more than any otherfactor, becertain of all impacts, risks andassurances.

    The district is at risk of losing

    a significant amount of federalaid as a result of the federalse-questration. Wilson said that,though the district receivesvery

    little federal aid, the loss would benoticeable. In addition,state aidto the district will decrease thisyear.

    We have $87,000 at risk in se-questration at the federallevel,Wilson said. Our state categori-cal aid increased by closeto$25,000 but we were charged 54percent more in interest, or anad-ditional $116,666, for an overallloss of more than $91,000.

    Though the board faced severalchallenges, Wilson said shewashappy with the outcome of thebudget process.

    Given very little latitude,many restrictions, no net gaininstate aid and major costs still ex-ceeding the 2 percent cap, Iam aspleased as is possible, she said.In the big picture, we wereableto maintain programs, for which Iam grateful, as the deliveryof ex-cellent opportunities for all ofour children is ourmission.

    Community Park Pool awarded for designBy KATIE MORGANThePrinceton Sun

    The Community Park Poolcame in No. 1 in the state whenthe NewJersey Recreation andParks Association presented itsExcellence inDesign Award onMarch 5.

    The NJ RPA presents designawards each year to projectsstatewidein categories based onproject cost.

    The Community Park Poolwon the (award) in the $5 million-pluscategory, Jennifer Gander,NJ RPA Awards Committee chair,said. Itwas the only recipient ofthe award for that cost category.

    Gander said the NJ RPA ac-cepts nominations through thesummermonths, and delibera-tions begin in the fall.

    Nominations are all submit-ted in the summer, she said. Wehave asubcommittee of parksand recreation professionals fromacross thestate who are theawards committee. We all person-

    ally visit all the nominated sites,and then we have a votingmeet-ing.

    According to Gander, the crite-ria for the award winnersincludethe projects esthetics, cost effec-tiveness and communityout-reach.

    We look for a uniqueness indesign and a range of appealacrossthe community, Gandersaid. We look at the needs theproject servesin the community,and how it changed and tookshape from start tofinish.

    The Community Park Pool ren-ovations, completed between win-ter2011 and spring 2012, cost themunicipality a total of $6.37mil-lion. The renovated facilities,which opened for use onMemori-al Day weekend 2012, include an18-inch detached wading pooland

    a bay area with easy entrywhich cater to seniorcitizens,children and people with disabili-ties.

    The largest cost was incurredby the decision to purchase a

    stainless steel Murtha system forthe main pool. The Murthasys-tem cost $1.5 million more than atraditional concrete pool butisexpected to cost significantly lessin long-term maintenance.

    Gander said the CommunityPark Pool received the award as aresultof the designs simplicityand the way the project reflectedthecommunitys needs and de-sires.

    It was very interesting howthey involved the community,Gandersaid. They recognizedwhat the needs were. They want-ed to re-createthe aspects of theold pool, but expand upon themwhile still keepingit simplistic indesign and not going overboard.They kept it simple,and thatswhat the community wanted.They used the Murtha poolsys-

    tem, but with the existing bowls.Gander said the awards com-

    mittee also took the green initia-tives employed by the projectinto

    Pi Day celebrations have grown

    competition was Daniel Luchan-sky, 12, who memorized andrecit-ed 1,140 digits of pi.

    Our pi recitation judges wereJohn Conway, esteemed professorofmathematics at Princeton Uni-versity, and his son,Gareth,Omiecinski said. Gareth was atwo-time champion so we hadtoretire him as a judge. Marc Umile

    assisted the ceremonies since hewon the North AmericanPiRecitation Championship withover 15,000 digits.

    Omiecinski said the Pi Day cel-

    ebrations have grown exponen-tially over the past four years.Shehopes the events can grow to ben-efit area nonprofits.

    Were definitely growingevery year, she said. Wehave morecontestants and moreparticipants. Where werelooking to go next iswed reallylike to see some of the signatureevents become afundraiser fornonprofits in town. Were notreally interested inmoney, butthe potential is there, and some-

    body could really benefit fromthis. If Pi Day Princeton can beanengine for bringingnonprofits and residents together

    in a really productive way, were

    on board.Omiecinski feels the Pi Day

    and Einsteins birthday eventsare an important way tocelebratemath and science, particularlywith Princetons youngerresi-dents.

    Were looking to celebrate andinspire, she said. Math andsci-ence were not part of my up-bringing, but when I look attheparticipants, we have a nice mixof ages and boys and girls. Infact,the only contest which was domi-

    nated by males was the pie eatingcompetition so I encourageallthe women of Princeton to re-think that for next year.

    consideration.They brought in so many

    green improvements, she said.The addition of the rainbarrels

    and the materials they used forthe roofing were veryinterest-ing. The award comes in the
