A future Einstein? FERC: Pipeline
is good to goBy NORA CARNEVALE
The Sun
The long-awaited Federal Ener-gy Regulatory Commissions en-vironmental assessment arrivedon Monday, Aug. 11, and conclud-ed that Williams Companys pro-posal would not significantly af-fect the quality of the human en-vironment. The project is meantto increase the pipelines naturalgas delivery capacity to the north-east region of the United States.
Princeton Council passed a res-olution at last months councilmeeting imploring FERC to rejectthe current construction plan
submitted by Williams Co. for theconstruction of the Leidy South-east Expansion Project of theTransco pipeline, which runsthrough Princeton and Mont-gomery.
The assessment had been pend-ing for some time, and officialsand residents have been anxious-ly awaiting the results. Rep. RushHolt was one of many state offi-
cials involved in sending a letterto FERC last month, also urgingthe federal agency to address allpertinent safety issues in thefinal review.
The FERC staff concludesthat approval of the proposedproject, with appropriate mitigat-ing measures would not consti-tute a major federal action signifi-cantly affecting the quality of thehuman environment, the assess-ment read.
In response to the assessment,The Princeton Ridge Coalitionhas made it clear that it intends todispute the findings of limitedadverse environmental impacts.
In June, the U.S. Court of Appealsruled that FERC violated the Na-tional Environmental Policy Actin their environmental assess-ments.

It was made clear at the councilmeeting July 28 that Princetonresidents, board members andbusiness owners had mixed feel-ings about the ordinance regulat-ing local businesses hours of op-eration. The issue at hand seemsto trickle down to another hottopic in town: the 24-hour 7-
Eleven convenience store slatedto open at 259 Nassau St. in theold West Coast Video site.
The ordinance would limit thehours of operation for restau-rants, retail food establishments,retail sales and personal servicebusinesses in or within 200 feet ofresidential zones.
The point of this ordinance, asPrinceton Director of PlanningLee Solo explained, is to improvethe quality of life and decreasenuisance complaints and crimi-nal activity such as loitering, lit-tering, public drinking, drugdealing and other unlawful actsduring early mornings.
Overall, it is for the publicgood, he said.
The mandatory time to closewas suggested to be between mid-night and 2 a.m. with an openingtime of 5 a.m. After chatter cameabout from council members anda long line of citizens who wishedto speak, 2 a.m. with the excep-
tion of some residents seemedmore reasonable. A time was notagreed upon until the end of themeeting.
Certain establishments wouldbe exempt from the ordinance.Restaurants or bars with liquorlicenses, such as The Ivy Inn orTriumph Brewery, are not includ-ed because they operate underdifferent regulations.
Most Princeton restaurantsthat serve alcohol close at a rea-sonable hour. The few that do stay
open until 2 a.m. on weekendswould not be affected by the ordi-nance should the town decide toswing toward a more conserva-tive closing hour.
Medical, urgent and veterinary
care facilities are also excludedfor the services they provide, and24-hour pharmacies are also ex-empt.
All businesses in the E zones,which permit institutions ofhigher education, are also ex-empt. This includes the U-Storeand Wawa, which are on or closeto the Princeton University cam-pus. The 24-hour CVS on Route206 is exempt because it is not
within 200 feet of a residentialzone.
Places that would be affectedby an earlier closing time areHoagie Haven and Naked Pizza.Mayor Liz Lempert, however, re-vealed that these two student-sati-ating spots would be allowed toremain open until 2 a.m. on week-ends regardless.
Tom Marshall, president of thePrinceton Merchants Associa-tion, was very concerned that thisordinance would be overly re-strictive of businesses that are al-ready in designated businesszones.
These are areas that were pre-defined, have a lot of history andmake the town what it is, he said.
The council, still somewhat di-vided by the end of the meeting,came to the conclusion that therewould be no ordinance introduc-tion at the following meeting onAug. 11, which was eventuallycanceled.
It was agreed upon that therewould be a continuing dialogue toaddress certain specifics such asdelivery times during closinghours that cause noise and alsothe legal allowance of revisitingthe ordinance should problemswith the new 24-hour 7-Elevenarise. Council also agreed that thehours of restriction discussedfurther would only be between 2a.m. to 5 a.m.
We dont want to roll back onany existing practices, Lempert
said.The meeting on Aug. 11 was
cancelled. A decision as towhether an ordinance introduc-tion will ensue will be made at themeeting on Aug. 25.
How late is too late?Mayor, council discuss a local ordinance to limit the hours of operation for local businesses

The recent ordinance restrict-ing business hours, proposed tokeep neighborhoods quiet, hasbeen creating quite a bit of noisearound town. Princetonians andbusiness owners have had muchto say on the matter. In fact, theJuly 28 town council meetingwas teeming with locals lined upand eager to speak.
It was initially proposed thatbusinesses be mandated to close
between midnight and 2 a.m.,which caused some alarmamong late-night patrons andemployees of Hoagie Haven andNaked Pizza. Council agreed by
the end of the last meeting that,
before moving forward with acontinuing dialogue at the meet-ing on Aug. 25, the restrictedhours of operation would befrom 2 to 5 a.m.
Costa Maltabes, who runsNassau Streets snacking trioHoagie Haven, Slice Betweenand Georges with his brothers,was hopeful that the restrictiveordinance would be resolved.Maltabes questioned how fairthe proposal was, not to smallbusiness owners such as him-
self, who make profit when acrowd bustles in at 1 or 2 in themorning, but to the studentswho enjoy a hoagie after a nightof studying or, to be realistic, oc-
casional drinking.
The university wants me tobe open. Its not fair to limitthem, he said.
He also said if the ordinancewere passed, Hoagie Havenwould need to request permis-sion to stay open until 3 or 4 a.m.during Thanksgiving weekendand alumni reunions, which areflourishing times for business.
Maltabes defended what thetown of Princeton is now and isbecoming. He described howdealing with certain establish-
ments being open later than oth-ers is growing pains and partof moving forward as a cultural

raised by the Princeton RidgeCoalition are real and serious. Ifthe pipeline is to be built, it is im-portant that steps are taken tominimize environmental damageand protect public safety, MayorLiz Lempert said of the assess-ment.
The Princeton Ridge has been
an area of significant concernamong officials and residents.The ridge contains boulders anda variety of bedrock and wet-lands that would need to be inter-fered with, according to the pro-posed plan.
In June, the Princeton RidgeCoalition, the resident group thathas been working with WilliamsCo. to address safety and environ-
mental hazards, was responsiblefor a revision to the companyscomprehensive rock handlingplan for the pipeline expansion.
FERCs assessment specificallyaddressed concerns about theridge, stating, We conclude thatthe reduced construction right-of-way and implementation of themeasures in Rock Handling Plan,PRCRP, Transcos Plan and Proce-dures, and our recommendationin section 2.9.1, would minimizeenvironmental impacts, protectpublic safety and provide for
restoration of the right-of-waythrough the Princeton Ridgearea.
Williams understands theconcerns expressed with regardto the safe installation of theTransco pipeline and minimizingenvironmental impacts duringconstruction, Chris Stockton,Williams Co. spokesman, said.
The new and expanded
pipeline would span throughPrinceton Ridge and would beused to transport natural gasfrom the shale field of westernPennsylvania.
We believe the FERCs envi-ronmental assessment confirmsour commitment to constructingand operating this pipeline proj-ect in a safe, environmentally sen-sitive manner so that we can de-liver much-needed additional nat-ural gas supply to this region,Stockton said.
Comments on the environmen-
tal assessment must be receivedin Washington, D.C., on or beforeSept. 10.
FERC staff will consider com-ments and recommendations re-ceived when it makes the final de-cision on the project.
Comments may be e-filed atwww.ferc.gov. Construction onthe pipeline is anticipated tobegin in April 2015.

The Princeton Police Depart-ment is slated to receive compen-satory reimbursements as a re-sult of defective bullet-proofvests. The attorney generals of-fice sent out a press release an-nouncing the $173,778.90 distribu-tion among approximately 100New Jersey police departmentsthat purchased the defective vestsfrom Michigan-based Second
Chance Body Armor, Inc. Themanufacturer filed for bankrupt-cy in 2004 after its products defi-ciencies were revealed. Accord-ing to the attorney generals of-fice, the vests protective armorfailed and deteriorated over time,which exposed officers to poten-tial harm.
Several years after the bullet-proof vests in question were pur-chased from Second Chance BodyArmor back in 2001 to 2002,Princeton Township Police re-
ceived a notification from the N.J.State Division of Law that thesevests were manufactured withfaulty materials and a lawsuitwould be filed against them on be-half of police departments in thestate, Sgt. Steven Riccittello said,when asked how the departmentfound out the vests were defec-tive. He explained that it is the de-partments policy that all uni-formed patrol officers assigned tostreet duty must wear bullet-
proof vests.Its hard to imagine a moreunconscionable business practicethan the sale of defective bulletproof vests for New Jersey police
officers. The officers who dailyrisk their lives to protect their fel-low New Jerseyans deserve bet-ter, Steve Lee, Division of Con-sumer Affairs acting director,said in the release.
According to the release, thestate, through the Division ofConsumer Affairs and Division ofLaw, began pursuing restitutionfor the affected departments be-fore Second Chance could file forbankruptcy protection in 2004.The case remained tied up in U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the lastdecade. The state received anorder for the distribution offunds in August 2013, and just re-cently received the payment thatis set to be distributed.
Riccittello reported that the de-partment has not yet received astate directive on the use of thefunds once they arrive. Addition-ally, he said they have not yetbeen made aware of the exactamount of reimbursement theywill receive. The total amount for
reimbursement was explained inthe release as calculated by offset-ting funds provided by the U.S.Department of Justice through amatching grant, as well as $1.2million the departments previ-ously received through a 2006class-action lawsuit.
While no New Jersey officerswere harmed due to the faultyvests, an officer in Forest Hills,Pa., was injured when he wasshot and the vest did not protect
him. Similar information was re-ported regarding an officer inOceanside, Calif.
The department hasnt hadany recent issues with our cur-
rent vest manufacturer. All of ourequipment vests, weapons, etc. are from the highest quality man-ufacturers available, Riccittellosaid.

With schools preparing to
open their doors soon, now
is a good time to talk about
the upcoming academic year.
This week, were featuring our sec-
ond Back to School special section,
which is included inside this issue.
Next week, well have more compre-hensive back to school coverage, in-
cluding a Q&A with the superintend-
ent of the school district to keep you
informed of all the changes and excite-
ment on the horizon for the 2014-2015
school year.
At The Sun, were all about commu-
nity news, which, of course, includes
covering the local school districts.
Well be at as many school board meet-
ings as possible and do our best to stay
on top of the hard news taxes,
budgets, elections and the like.
But we want to be able to bring our
readers so much more. To do that, we
need your help.
When students achieve in the class-
room, in the arts, in sports, etc., we
want to hear about it, so that we can
share that news with the entire com-
munity. Recently, we created an On
Campus section of our paper to do
just that to recognize the hard-work-
ing students in a way that stands out
from other sections of our paper.
Making the honor roll, winning a
spelling bee, excelling in an extra-cur-
ricular activity, its all news to us.
Problem is, we dont always hear
about these accomplishments. Thats
where you come in.
If youre a parent, and your child
does something special, shoot us an
email. Include a photo, if possible.
If youre a teacher or principal, and
you have a special event coming up or
there is other news that your home-
town should know about, tell us about
it. If possible, well have a reporter
present to cover the event or write a
story and take photos. If not, well fig-
ure out a way to get your news into thepaper, one way or another.
Too often, the news is driven by
events that anger or sadden people.
Too often, the good work of young peo-
ple is ignored or, at the least, certainly
not celebrated the way it should be.
And there are a lot of young people
doing good these days.
We want to change that. We want to
let everyone in town know when
theres something positive going on,
when young people go beyond the ordi-
nary to help someone or have an out-
standing accomplishment.
Call, email or write. Just let us know
whats happening in your school so
that we can share it.
in our opinion
School bells to ring soonThroughout the year, The Sun wants to be your source for school information
School news
With the start of a new school year uponus, we want to invite everyone to sharetheir news with us. From the classroom toextra-curricular activities, let us knowwhat is happening in your school, and wellspread the word.

When we do statistics on pro-grams here at the library, usuallywere really excited when 75 to100 people come to a program, butit is very hard to be excited when75 people are coming to learn howto do resumes, because thats 75people whose lives are upended,Janie Hermann, public program-ming librarian and founder of
the Job Seeker Sessions, said.Luckily, were here to help andhappy to help.
Job Seeker Sessions are heldnearly every Friday morning atPrinceton Public Library in part-nership with the ProfessionalServices Group of Mercer Coun-ty. Presentations encompass awide variety of topics that affect
job seekers from theory to prac-tice.
The most popular topics areby far anything related to usingLinkedIn. Other social mediausage is a close second and thennavigating job search sites comesin third. There have been a cou-ple of presentations on managingstress that have also been popu-lar, said Shelly Hawk, the libraryassociate in charge of coordinat-ing the Job Seeker Sessions.
The regular help sessions werestarted shortly after a cover story
about the downturn in the econo-my appeared in the librarys Con-nections issue five years ago inspring of 2009.
Previously, PPL offered fourjob seeker seminars per yearalong with technology classes tohelp residents in the job marketlearn new pertinent skills. In2010, the library started a month-ly Tuesday Networking Breakfastseries once per month, and thiswent on for several years untilforming a partnership with the
Professional Services Group ofMercer County around two yearsago, when it transitioned to week-ly sessions on Friday mornings.
According to Hermann, thecomplete downturn in the econo-my is what lead it to become adedicated series. She explainedthat since many regulars at thesessions held their previous posi-tions for 10 to 20 years, navigating
the job market has completelychanged, and they often start outfeeling at a loss. Fortunately,through regular attendance atweekly sessions, regulars dontstay regulars, Hermann said.
One way the library staffmeasures success is through atradition formed at the Fridaymorning group.
When somebody landed(thats what they call it whensomeone gets a job), they bring in
cookies that say we landed, sooften those leftovers end up in thestaff room. More cookies meanmore success! Hermann said.
Additionally, the staff often re-ceives heartfelt letters from pastattendees explaining that, whilethey would previously apply to 20or 30 positions without so muchas response, as a result of the ses-sions, they were now making theinterview stage. According toHermann, some are just letterssaying thank you so much, this is
what got me going again.Hermann and Hawk both dis-
cussed the importance of social-ization during the job-seeking ex-perience.
Job seeking can be isolating,and these sessions allow thoseseeking work to have an impor-tant social outlet as well as educa-

leadership of former presidentShirley Tilghman.
Tilghman stepped down lastyear after serving 12 years in therole.
The schools original gradingpolicy recommended that each de-partment not award anymorethan 35 percent of A-rangegrades.
An anonymous student re-sponse included in the report is-sued by university officials re-called a professor changing theirmidterm exam grade from an Ato a B+ because of grade defla-tion.
The 91 was scratched out andreplaced with an 88. When I askedmy professor why he reduced myscore, he told me that normallythe paper would be an A, but dueto grade deflation he was forced
to lower several students gradesto a B+, the student comment in-cluded in the report said.
The committee is recommend-ing that the university removenumerical targets from the policyand that they be replaced withgrading standards developed byeach department.
According to the report, grad-
ing targets are too often misin-
terpreted as quotas that add alarge element of stress to stu-dents lives, making them feel asthough they are competing for alimited resource of A grades.The committee suggested thatdepartments should spend theirtime developing clear and evalua-tive rubrics for work within theirdisciplines rather than aligninggrades to meet specific numericaltargets.
Eisgruber fully supports thecommittees recommendations,saying in a release it is impor-tant to give students meaningfulfeedback and clear signals aboutthe quality of their work, andthat the numerical targets in ourcurrent policy were underminingour goals rather than advancingthem.
Next, the Faculty Committeeon Examinations and Standingwill review the committees re-port, as it has jurisdiction overthe topic. If the committee sup-
ports the findings, university fac-ulty will take action.

Recognized as tional, Hermann said.Despite the high unemploy-
ment rate among recent collegegraduates, she reported a lack ofyoung job seekers in regular at-tendance at the sessions.
They might be networking inother ways or taking jobs as abarista or server and remainingunderemployed until they starttheir careers, she said.
The session coordinators hopeto find a way to tap into theyounger demographic.
Regarding demographics,there are between 35 to 70 peoplewho attend each week and thereare typically five to eight new peo-ple each week. Although we donot officially track demographics,I would say the average age of at-tendees is 40. There seems to be abalance of males and females,
Hawk said.The sessions also represent a
larger transition in the functionof library staff. Hermann said therole of a librarian is becomingless focused on in-depth researchand more about connecting peo-ple. In addition to the in-personsessions, the library provides anarray of online databases aimedat providing patrons with an arse-nal of career guidance, from prac-
tice GED tests to resume reviewservices from career counselors.
For everybody in the library,and not just myself, any time thatthe library knows were having adirect impact on our communitywith providing them with the re-
sources they need, it is why we be-came librarians, Hermann said.
My dream is that we no longerhave to offer the job seeker ses-sions because there isnt such ahigh unemployment rate thatpeople need it.
Between 35 to 70 people attendthe Job Seeker Sessions each week

Ross Wishnick, chair of thePrinceton Human Services Com-mission, reflected on a meetingheld slightly more than one yearago. A number of communityleaders were gathered to discussthe availability of resources tocommunity members in need. Asthe groups, which included suchorganizations as the food bankand the crisis ministry at NassauPresbyterian Church, gatheredintelligence, as Wishnick ex-plained, they came to a startlingrealization 12 percent of Prince-tons school population receives
free or reduced lunch. The socialservice term for children receiv-ing free or reduced lunch is re-ferred to as food insecure.
Receiving free and reducedlunches for school happens Mon-day through Friday, but thenwhat happens?
These kids are food insecureduring the week, so then whathappens on Saturday and Sun-day? Wishnick asked.
He explained that the resultinginitiative was to form a group toraise money and fill the gap.Working in partnership with thePrinceton School Board, the twogroups connected with non-profitfood bank Mercer Street Friends.
Coming together with thesetwo organizations was the perfectmatch to accomplish what we
wanted to accomplish, Wishnicksaid.
At the time of the partnership,Mercer Street Friends alreadyhad a program called SendHunger Packing. The programprovided school children with abackpack to take home just beforethey leave on Fridays for theweekend.
The backpack is filled withfour supplemental, healthy mealsfor Saturday and Sunday. Wish-nick explained that Send Hunger
Packing Princetons vision wasgiven a boost due to MSFs well-established program.
Wishnick called the school sys-tems involvement vital, becausethey are on the front lines. Addi-tionally, with SHUPPs funds, thefood bank provides two weeks-worth of food at a time that theschool then picks up and deliversto the students who opt-in to theprogram. Last year, about 150children from pre-kindergarten
to fifth grade were signed up forthe program, and SHUPP deliv-ered nearly 6,000 packages of foodthroughout the school year.
We dont need to know the in-dividual recipients. We just need
to know this is getting done. Wedont have to do a study to knowthat if you go to school and yourehungry, it is going to affect yourability to think and learn, and ifyou dont have food over theweekend, youre not going to beable to do your homework. Ourmission is just to lighten the bur-den, he said.
This year, Wishnick said thefocus is to make the program sus-tainable. Having started on onlyOct. 1 of last year, it is still in thedevelopment phase. Leadfundraising for the programcame from Princeton University,the Bonner Foundation and thePrinceton Theological Seminary.This years fundraising goal is$30,000. According to Wishnick,SHUPPs goal of including sixth,
seventh and eighth grade in theprogram will only be accom-plished with about $50,000 peryear.
On Sept. 14 at Community ParkSchool, organizers will hold thesecond annual Friend-Raiser.Wishnick explained the conceptof a friend-raiser as an attemptto raise awareness rather thanstrictly funds, because fundrais-ing goes on all year, he said.
The Sept. 14 event will featurePhiladelphia-based celebrity chef
Brian Duffy, star of the televisionshow Bar Rescue. Duffy will in-struct attendees in using commonleftover refrigerator food to makesomething affordable, nutritiousand enjoyable.
Another one of Wishnicksplans for the future? Wed like tofigure out how to feed childrenover longer vacations such aswinter and summer break, hesaid. As my first real ventureleading this type of thing, it has
really been a remarkable experi-ence in the generosity of the com-munity.

Morven Museum and Gardenwelcomes Princetonians, NewJersey history-buffs and ladieslunching with its Tea and Tourevent hosted every Wednesday,January through November. Teais served at 1 p.m. and tours canbe enjoyed either before tea atnoon or after at 2 p.m. Tea sand-wiches, scones, sweets and an as-sortment of fresh fruit are servedat a collection of tables overlook-ing the Colonial Garden.
During the tour, the docentleads visitors through the mainfloors period rooms and explainsthe rich history of portraits, deco-rative arts and pieces from thePrinceton University Boudinot
Collection.Richard Stockton, whose signa-
ture is penned on the Declarationof Independence, first built Mor-ven in the 1750s. The house waspassed down through four succes-sive generations of the Stocktonfamily until 1928 when it wasleased to Robert Wood Johnsonand then purchased in 1945 byGov. Walter Evans Edge. Fivestate governors resided in the ex-ecutive mansion, and in 2004, fol-lowing restoration and archaeo-logical investigation, Morvenopened as a museum and publicgarden.
Throughout the tour, the do-cent offers interesting stories andanecdotes about the various indi-viduals who lived on the beautifulgrounds and became Princetoni-
ans.Peg Gilman, special events co-
ordinator for the female educa-tors society, Delta Kappa Gamma,had visited the museum for Teaand Tour back in May with anoth-er womens group, The Red HatSociety. She said her time spent atthe museum was so wonderfulshe had to come back.
Waiting for tea to begin,Gilman leaned back in her chairand smiled, Our tour guide was
so great last time an ex-historyteacher I requested him fortoday.
Docent Joe Wroblewski cameto the museum last October afterretiring from teaching history in
Princeton and Philadelphia foryears.
Gilmans friend, BrendaBradley, was very impressed withthe tour. It was her second timevisiting Morven as well. Shespoke about how lovely it was tohave tea overlooking the colonialgarden and pronounced, Weloved it so much: the room, thechina, everything was nice, andthe woman serving us did an ex-cellent job.
When the tour came to a close,Wroblewski told the all-femalegroup to feel free to wander up-stairs to view the current exhibitfeaturing a New Jersey portraitartist.
Micah Williams (1782-1837) wasfamous for painting an array ofindividuals from potters to politi-cians and their families who allresided in New Jersey.
Peggy Brunig, Joan Stuart andRose Hozjan explored theWilliams exhibit on the secondfloor.
I wished it were longer,Brunig said.
Stuart agreed, I know! I wishthere was another floor to tour!
She looked up at the ceilingseemingly pondering the possibil-ity of secret art-laden corridors.
Hozjan added, I thought ourtour guide was excellent; a love, apassion for New Jersey history.

hub.President of the Princeton
Merchants Association Tom Mar-shall supported Maltabes viewabout what Princeton is: Wecant neglect the fact that we are aworld-renown suburban universi-ty town.
Its not a loud bustling city, butit is not fair for Princeton resi-dents to expect living to be like ahouse in the country while enjoy-
ing all that is in walking dis-tance.
Marshall believes the ordi-nance is overly restrictive anddiscriminates against privately-owned businesses that directlyserve the university.
Robert Bratman is the owner of259 Nassau St. where the new 7-Eleven is going to open. Bratmanannounced how in 53 years of liv-ing in Princeton with his family,he has never heard any com-
plaints of disruption from storesthat are open late. After seeingwhat followed his finding a tenantfor the old West Coast Video site,Bratman said, it seems the pub-lic has recoiled because of the 24-hour 7-Eleven.
Comments from Princeton res-idents prove how some are notthrilled with the idea of this par-ticular convenient store and thatopposition to an all-night 7-
Eleven is leading the quest forbusiness hour limitations. JoyaRayffule lives in town and said hebelieves 7-Eleven is not an idealfit for a town right there on Nas-
sau Street.7-Eleven has a shoddy feel.There are artists who come topaint Hoagie Haven, but 7-Elevenis not a business with familyroots in Princeton, he said.
Rayffule paused to think if itwas necessary to place a limita-tion from 2 to 5 a.m. on businesshours and closed by saying, Idont think anything needs to beopen that late.
The only place that will be af-fected daily by this ordinance ap-
pears to be the 7-Eleven on Nas-sau Street. Bratman promises thebuilding will have its own well-litparking lot, security cameras andan around-the-clock employeewho will always welcome policeto patrol the store and surround-ing area whenever they want tosolidify its safety.
Jeffrey Albert of Long ViewDrive held a strong perspective onthe attempt to limit hours on thetown hes called home for 30
years.It is an accepted fact that wewant safe and vibrant places. Theones that are active around theclock are the most safe, he said.We live in a 24-hour world and
the limits were talking here arenot suited for an around-the-clocktown.
He explained how it seems theordinance is trying to codify whatis already set. Albert closed by
stating, Potential restrictionschoke the vibrancy that makesPrinceton what it really is. I dontthink we should be engaging insolutions that dont have prob-lems.
