By KATIE MORGANThe Sun
The eighth annual Environ-mental Film Festival at thePrinceton Public Library, whichbegins Jan. 30, will invite audi-ences to consider their passions,and the risks theyre willing to
take as a result.Its not like we say, lets pick a
theme and then find films,Susan Conlon, festival director,said. Its more the opposite. Themission of our event is to takethese really exceptional films,bring them here and build theevent around them.
This years festival, which in-cludes 24 films and a selection ofvery short, student-submitted
works, will run through Feb. 9.Conlon said the theme of con-
viction and risk emerged after di-rector Lucy Walkers film TheCrash Reel was selected for thefestival.
It seemed like we were in a bitof a maze when we began choos-ing films, Conlon said. There
are just so many good films outthere, and the topics vary so wide-ly. It wasnt until about Septemberthat the lightbulb went off. It start-ed with the film The Crash Reel.Everywhere I went, people weretalking about it, saying it was thebest film they saw all year. A bigtheme in that film is risk, and risktaken because of overwhelmingconviction. It really opened thedoors, and we realized there were
several films that really fit thattheme. All of these films in someway are studies or portraits ofpeople who have a deep convictionabout something, and in someways that translates to takingrisks.
The Crash Reel, which is onthe shortlist to receive an Acade-
my Award this year, will bescreened on Feb. 7 at 7 p.m.
Conlon said this years festivalwill have many highlights, includ-ing the opening film, Thin Ice:The Inside Story of Climate Sci-ence, which will be screened at 7p.m. on Jan. 30.

PRINCETON PUBLIC LIBRARY ENVIRONMENTAL FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULE
Demolition of buildings planned for FebruaryBy KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
Demolition could begin onthe former University MedicalCenter buildings on WitherspoonStreet as early as February,according to municipalofficials.
AvalonBay, the developer thatplans to build 280 housing unitson the site, formally resubmitteda demolition plan to Princetonsengineering department on Jan.7, Municipal Engineer Bob Kisersaid.
The original demolition plan,
submitted to Kisers office in mid-December, was missing some keyinformation that town officials
said they needed to consider.I havent yet had a chance to
review the resubmitted plan,Kiser said on Jan. 7. But werelooking for information regard-ing how the hospital will be de-molished, and information re-garding the videotaping of travelroutes in and out of the site. Wewant AvalonBay to document theconditions of the existing road-ways, and we want to include inthe developers agreement that iftheres damage to the roadwaysbeyond normal wear and tear,theyll be responsible for repair-ing it.
The demolition plan is part ofthe developers agreement, whichKiser said Princeton Council
would consider.The demolition plan needs to
be approved by the engineeringand building departments, Kisersaid. And then there will be a de-velopers agreement that will beconsidered by the PrincetonCouncil. In that consideration,theyll reference the demolitionplan, and will want to be updatedwith information regarding thedemolition.
The removal of the hospitalbuildings on the site will be thelargest-scale demolition in recentmemory in Princeton, Kiser said.In forming a demolition plan, it
was necessary to take into ac-count the residential neighbor-hoods that sit very close to the
Witherspoon Street site.Kiser said that in considera-
tion of the location and the prox-imity of residents homes, Aval-onBay has agreed to forgoblasting in favor of a slower, butpotentially safer, method of dem-olition.
AvalonBay has agreed that thedemolition will be done withoutthe use of a controlled blast,Kiser said. Many times, largebuildings are removed by blast-ing, but these buildings will notbe removed in that manner, andas a town we wouldnt want themto be. Instead, AvalonBay will
bring in specialized equipmentthat will push the walls in, andthe floors will simply drop one on
top of the next until theres a pileof rubble.
Kiser said AvalonBay predictsthat the process of bringing thebuildings down one floor at atime, and carting away the rub-ble, will take about five months tocomplete.
It is slower, Kiser said. Butit will also certainly be much lessnoisy, and much less disruptive tothe neighborhood than a con-trolled blast would be.
A spokesman for AvalonBaysaid he could not provide a com-ment at press time.
Kiser said he expects the devel-
opers agreement and demolitionplan to be presented to the Coun-cil at the Jan. 27 meeting.
Festival expected to attract about 5,000 people
opening and closing films, Con-lon said. This is a film that hasnot yet been screened anywhereelse. Its very special.
The festival is expected to at-tract a total audience of approxi-mately 5,000 people. The audiencemembers of many films will alsobe present for question and an-swer sessions with directors, pro-ducers and editors.
Conlon said having the film-makers available to answer ques-tions and discuss the films pro-
vides the viewer with a newperspective on what theyvewatched.
You can watch a film by your-self on your computer, you can getit on Netflix, you can go to a the-ater, Conlon said. But I think byhaving these people who made thefilm there in the room with you, itmakes it something you can feelengaged in, rather than a morepassive experience. We do a lot offilm programs here, and there arepeople who come to them on a reg-
ular basis. Theyre seasoned atwatching films, and so theres areally deep appreciation for goodfilmmaking. I think theres a deepsense of appreciation for story-telling in this community, and so
the filmmakers get a lot out ofbeing here as well.
The films subjects vary fromJeremy Seiferts GMO OMG,which looks at the way geneticallymodified crops affect his children,to Gabriela CowperthwaitesBlackfish, the documentaryabout captive orca whales that hascreated a media storm aroundSeaworld.
Conlon said the festival is de-signed to bring people together onboth local and global levels.
Our tagline at the library isSmall Town, Big Ideas, and thisfestival really embodies that,Conlon said. On one level, it is acommunity event, but these films
and speakers are coming from allpoints of the world. Its very local,but very global as well. Its allabout connection. These filmsmake people look very closely andreflect on their own lives. Some,you look at and think, well whatdoes that have to do with the envi-ronment? I think our lives andhow we live them is what makesthe biggest impact on our world,and thats really what the festivalis about.
A full schedule of the film festi-
val and its associated programs,and more information aboutscreenings and Q&A sessions, areavailable online atcommunity.princetonlibrary.org/peff.

Miller, Nemeth planto run joint campaign
in Democratic primaryBy KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
The terms of Princeton Coun-cil President Bernie Miller andCouncilwoman Jo Butler will ex-pire at the end of 2014, and bothplan to run for re-election butMiller wont be running alone.
In a Dec. 6 press release, Miller
announced that he would be run-ning for re-election alongside SueNemeth, former Princeton Town-ship deputy mayor.
Miller and Nemeth plan to runa joint campaign in the JuneDemocratic primary, a move thatcould oust Butler from the gener-al election in November.
Miller and Nemeth have a his-tory of working together, as bothserved on the Township Commit-tee with now-Mayor Liz Lempertand Councilman Lance Liver-man.
Lempert and Liverman, alongwith Councilwoman HeatherHoward, have thrown their sup-port behind the Miller-Nemethticket.
Sue brings people togetherand has a can do style that getsresults, Lempert said in thepress release. I look forward tohaving her on our team as we leadPrinceton forward.
The release also listed other
prominent members of the com-
munity who support Miller andNemeth, including former MayorChad Goerner, Scott Sillars, AnneBurns, Suki and Matt Wasser-man, Molly Chrein and Gail Ull-man.
Miller and Nemeth said theyplan to seek the formal endorse-ment of the Princeton Communi-ty Democratic Organization and
the Princeton Democratic Munic-ipal Committee in March.
Nemeth was not a candidatefor the first consolidated Prince-ton Council in the 2012 election,as she was mounting a campaignagainst Marie Corfield for the As-sembly. Nemeth lost in the 16thLegislative Districts Democraticprimary.
Butler, who served for twoyears on the Borough Councilprior to consolidation, told re-porters that while she was disap-pointed, the announcement of theMiller-Nemeth ticket would notinterrupt her campaign for re-election.

Man pleads not guilty indeath of religious leader
Princeton resident Eric D.Maltz, 21, was arraigned in Supe-rior Court in Trenton on Jan. 7.Maltz was charged with aggravat-ed manslaughter, death by autoand assault by auto in the March28, 2013, accident that killed RabbiJim Diamond, 74, and injuredRobert Freedman.
At the arraignment, Maltzs at-torney, Robert E. Lytle, entered aplea of not guilty to Judge RobertBillmeier.
According to police reports,Maltz drove a speeding BMWdown Riverside Drive around 9:30a.m. on March 28. The BMW hit aparked Toyota Camry, which inturn hit a parked Toyota Prius.Diamond, who was getting intothe Prius at the time, was thrownaway from the car and was pro-nounced dead at the scene.
Maltzs charges carry a 30-yearprison sentence. He is presently
free on bail.
Mayor Lempert delivers
State of Town addressMayor Liz Lempert, embarking
on her second year in office, deliv-ered her first State of the Townaddress at the Jan. 2 reorganiza-tion meeting.
The consolidation of the bor-ough and township has been a lit-tle like throwing together tworival teams, said Lempert, whodevoted much of her speech tolooking back on 2013. This yearhas been a challenge, but consoli-
dation has provided tax relief,which is needed to maintain theeconomic diversity that makesPrinceton great. We actually payless in municipal taxes than wedid several years ago.
Councilmembers PatrickSimon and Jenny Crumiller, hav-ing randomly selected one-yearterms during the 2013 reorganiza-tion, both won reelection in No-vember and were sworn back into
office on Jan. 2.Councilman Bernie Miller,
who has served as council presi-dent for the past year, was unani-mously chosen to continue in theposition.
I want to thank Bernie for hisservice over the past year, Coun-cilman Patrick Simon said. Hisleadership has served us well. Iwould like to nominate himagain.
Lempert also thanked Millerfor his service to the Council.
You have been a tremendouscouncil president, and we ourgrateful to have your leadership,
Lempert said.
Contract with municipalattorney is extendedPrinceton officials will extend
the town's contract with munici-pal attorney Ed Schmierer's officethrough February.

verall, New Jerseys schools
are excellent. Thats not in
question. A recent study
ranked New Jersey second in the na-
tion in student achievement and
chance for success.
Thats impressive.
The Garden State ranked second on
The Quality Counts report, which the
publisher of Education Week con-
ducts. Only Massachusetts ranked
higher than New Jersey in the Chance
for Success Index, which measures the
role of education in an individuals
life.
The states B+ grade was much high-
er than the national average of C+, and
also bested the grade for nearby statesMaryland (B), Pennsylvania (B),
Delaware (B-) and New York (B-).
Yay for us.
With every positive seems to come a
negative, though, or, in this case, an
area in need of improvement.
The same Quality Counts reportranked New Jersey below average in
the categories of standards, assess-
ments and accountability (C 44th
overall) and teaching profession (D+ -
38th).
It has been widely reported, both
here and elsewhere, that our school
districts are actively working to im-
prove their accountability and assess-ments, so lets leave that one alone for
now. The concerning aspect of this
study is, without a doubt, the teaching
profession.
According to the report, New Jersey
has no incentives for teachers or prin-
cipals working in hard-to-staff disci-
plines or schools, no salary parity with
other occupations, and no financial in-
centives for teachers to earn national
certifications.
This needs to change.
As we wrote some time ago, our stu-
dents and, therefore, our schools are
only as good as the teachers and ad-
ministrators we hire; ergo, we need to
ensure that our teachers and adminis-
trators are not only well qualified at
the time of hiring but are also incen-
tivized to grow professionally within
our system as well.
Our schools are great now, but lets
make sure they continue to be great.
Lets find a way to incentivize ourteachers and administrators to work in
difficult subjects, in difficult schools
and earn bigger and better certifica-
tions.
Our students are the ones who will
benefit the most.
Lets do morefor our teachersOur schools are good, theres no doubt, but lets make them even better
Your thoughts
What are your thoughts on the state ofour schools? Do you believe incentivizingteachers and administrators to grow asprofessionals is worth the return oninvestment? Let your thoughts be heardthrough a letter to the editor.
sion at the Jan. 2 reorganization meeting.The extension is designed to give Councilmore time to make a decision about switch-ing law firms.
Schmierer, whose firm Mason, Griffinand Pierson has served Princeton for morethan 50 years, will continue to represent the
municipality at his current hourly rate.In the meantime, officials are consider-
ing five firms, including Schmierer's,which have expressed interest in serving asthe town's legal counsel. The other fourfirms being considered have not been iden-
tified. Discussions have taken place inclosed session, including a session after theSept. 23 council meeting, from whichSchmierer recused himself.
Schmierer was the municipal attorneyfor Princeton Township from 1980 untilconsolidation at the beginning of 2013.
Schmierer was chosen as the attorney ofthe consolidated municipality by a majori-ty council vote, but Councilmembers Cru-miller and Jo Butler voted against the ap-pointment. Schmierer has worked closely
with the council throughout 2013, and wasdesignated the conflict of interest attor-ney in June. Since that appointment, he hasissued recommendations to council mem-bers on multiple issues, including a recom-mendation in August that indicated that
Councilwoman Heather Howard, a Prince-ton University employee, should recuseherself from negotiations over the schoolsvoluntary contribution to the town.Schmierer also issued an opinion, thatLempert, whose husband is a tenured pro-fessor at the university, does not have a con-flict of interest in that same matter.
If the municipality does stay withMason, Griffin and Pierson, anotherattorney, Trishka Waterbury Cecil, wouldreplace Schmierer as the municipal attor-
ney. Council is expected to discuss the po-tential change of representation at a meet-ing in late January.

Education group names mini-grant recipientsBy KATIE MORGAN
The Sun
The Princeton EducationFoundation this month an-nounced the 13 recipients of itsannual mini-grants, grants of$1,000 or less given directly toteachers to fund a project or eventin Princetons public schools.
This year, we gave a total of 13grants and $12,100, AdrienneRubin, director of the PEF, said.The nice thing is that these proj-ects really run the gamut interms of subject area. Theres
grants that went to projects in sci-ence, history, mental health,world languages, robotics, musicand even good old fashioned Eng-lish.
Rubin said that while it is near-ly impossible to highlight individ-ual projects, several of the grantsare going to programs that she ispersonally excited about.
I could really talk about any of
these projects, Rubin said. Thisis truly the most fun we have allyear. The teachers put a tremen-
dous amount of care into theirproposals.
Rubin said one of the most in-novative projects being funded byone of PEFs mini-grants is anElizabethan Festival at JohnWitherspoon Middle School. Thefestival, which is the brainchild ofteacher Connie Escher, will be thebiggest project the seventhgraders work on this year.
This ties in music, dance andthe social studies curriculum,
Rubin said. And Connie will alsobe working with the media spe-cialist in the Learning Commons.This is a completely collaborativeeffort, and its something com-pletely new for these kids. Therehasnt been a big celebration dayfor the seventh graders untilnow.
Another mini-grant project atthe middle school will have stu-
dents building cardboard boats.Theyre going to have a regat-
ta, Rubin said. The students
will build cardboard boats thatwill take two people across theJW Pool without sinking. Its todemonstrate practical applica-tions of science and technology,and its a wonderful way for stu-dents to apply the more theoreti-cal work theyre doing in theirscience classes to something tan-gible.
The PEF mini-grants are de-signed to provide teachers with aunique opportunity to bring inno-
vative ideas to life in their class-rooms.In Princeton, we spend a lot
on education, Rubin said. Buttheres a lot in the school budgetthat is clearly defined and inflexi-ble. Giving this money directly tothe teachers has a huge impact onwhat they can do in the class-room. These grant requests arealmost all about making learning
fun. Its incredible what ourteachers can accomplish with arelatively small amount of
money. The mini-grant programis really wonderful because itgives our teachers an opportunityto think creatively. Just the factthat this program exists givesthem an impetus to keep innovat-ing, and to keep thinking outsideof the box.
Rubin said the PEF funds asmany mini-grant proposals aspossible, with the understandingthat not every great idea willtranslate into a great program.
We had 17 requests, and wewere excited to be able to fund
13, Rubin said. These are exper-iments. Sometimes they fail, andthat just gives the teacher a rea-
son to try something else, and trysomething new. But sometimesthey work really, really well, andthe hope in those cases is that theschool board will see the successand the budget will pick up thecost to continue that program.But the point of being innovativeis to try something, and werecontinuing to give our teachersand our students that opportuni-ty.
A full list of the
mini-grant projects is availableonline at www.pefnj.org.
