The state Board of Public Utili-ties, the Princeton engineeringdepartment and PSE&G havebegun investigations into a gasfire that closed Ewing Street forseveral hours on March 20, after amilling machine struck a gas lineand was quickly engulfed inflames.

The roadway contractor claimsthat the gas line was unmarked. Aspokeswoman for PSE&G statedthat markouts were done at thatlocation and confirmed the utili-ty is investigating the incident.

Terra MomoRestaurantGroup, ownerand operator ofMediterra andTersa Caf inPrinceton andEno Terra inKingston, hasbeen chosen byPrinceton Uni-versity to operate the new cafand restaurant that will behoused in the current Dinky sta-tion buildings when they are con-

verted to new uses as part of theuniversitys Arts and TransitProject.

The project, which covers anarea along University Place andAlexander Street just south ofMcCarter Theatre Center, in-cludes a new Wawa conveniencestore and new Dinky train stationfor the NJ TRANSIT train thatruns between Princeton andPrinceton Junction. The project

also includes three new campusarts buildings and renovation ofthe rail station buildings for thecaf and restaurant.

As planned in the Arts andTransit Project, the Dinky sta-tions north building will becomea cafe and the south building willbe expanded and turned into afull-service restaurant.

Terra Momo presentedthoughtful and exciting plans forboth the caf and restaurant thatwould meet the needs of com-muters, McCarter Theatre, localresidents and the university. Theyhave strong ties and demonstrat-ed success in Princeton, saidKristin Appelget, director of com-munity and regional affairs and amember of the PU selection com-mittee. We are looking forwardto collaborating with Raoul andCarlo Momo and their team atTerra Momo on these new diningoptions that are such an impor-tant component of our Arts andTransit Project.

The caf and restaurant willfocus on serving locally grownand produced fare. Terra Momo

plans to establish a pizzeria-stylecaf in the north terminal build-ing, with 54 seats, including barseating. The caf will serve break-fast, lunch and dinner as well aswine and beer. Opening is project-

ed for summer2015.

In the southbuilding for-merly used forbaggage han-dling thegroup has pro-posed a farm-to-table restau-rant serving

lunch and dinner, with seating for116 patrons inside and 60 seatsoutside. The university will ex-pand the building before Terra

Momo begins interior renova-tions. The anticipated openingdate is spring 2016.

We're happy and very excitedand looking forward to this, saidCarlo Momo. Even thoughthere's some sense of comfortknowing we're involved, we'realso going to surprise people. Wehope the caf and restaurant willadd, with the arts neighborhoodbeing scheduled for that part oftown, a whole other dimensionand attraction to Princeton itself.Princeton is becoming more andmore of a destination, and we'dlike to make it a dining mecca,too.

Tucson, Ariz.-based architectRick Joy will design the exteriorand addition of the existing sta-tion buildings; he is also design-ing the new Dinky station build-ing and Wawa. The north stationbuilding currently serves as awaiting room for the Dinky train,and renovations on this building

and expansion of the south build-ing will not begin until fall 2013,when a temporary train platformopens to the south.

Atlantic City, one of this states

most lucrative tourist attrac-

tions, is struggling mightily.

Competition from casinos in neighbor-

ing Pennsylvania and Delaware have

slowly, but steadily, dealt huge blows to

our Shores revenue stream.

Revel casino, which opened its doorsa little more than a year ago, said re-

cently that it was filing for Chapter 11

bankruptcy. In February, the Trump

Plaza casino sold for the lowest price

ever paid for an Atlantic City casino

$20 million.

Gov. Christie, and a contingent of

politicians in New Jersey, have recog-

nized that this is a dire situation for At-

lantic City and, in no small part, to the

states economy. To reverse the trend,

these politicians have tried, so far un-

successfully, to turn to betting on

sports.

New Jersey, along with every state

except four Nevada, Delaware, Ore-

gon and Montana are banned from of-

fering wagering on sports, stemming

from a 1992 federal law. But Christie

and his supporters are hoping to over-

turn that.

They believe that it is unfair and un-

constitutional to prohibit the Garden

State from accepting sports bets, while

Las Vegas, in particular, reaps all the

rewards. We already have full-fledged

casinos, they say, so why not allow us

to have sports betting, too?

To stop New Jersey from offering

sports wagering, the NFL, NBA, NHL,

Major League Baseball and the NCAA

sued New Jersey last year to prohibit

the practice, and recently, a judge up-

held the ban on sports gambling in the

state. Christie says he will appeal the

decision, and we applaud his efforts.

Sports wagering is a harmless prac-

tice, or, at the very least, is no more

harmful than a bet in blackjack,roulette, let it ride, or any other casino

game that is currently offered in At-

lantic City. So why the continued ban?

New Jerseys gaming industry needs

sports wagering. Its a booming sector

of the industry, much like poker was a

few years back. Billions of dollars each

year are bet legally on sports in Ne-

vada, and estimates say illegal sports

wagering through bookies or off-

shore websites might total hundreds

of billions more.

So why not allow Atlantic City, New

Jersey, and the United States, earn that

taxable income? It just makes sense.

Ball is in New Jerseys courtChristie says hell appeal judges sports gambling decision

Feeling lucky?

What are your thoughts on makingsports gambling legal in New Jersey? Isit something our governor shouldcontinue to fight for? Or is he, andothers, taking it too far?

Prior to com-ing to Harvard in 1993, she was a tenuredmember of the Department of History atthe University of Pennsylvania. Perhapsmost noted for her prize-winning book

"Righteous Discontent: The WomensMovement in the Black Baptist Church1880-1920" (1993), she also co-edited"African American National Biography"(2008) with Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

Higginbotham is the recipient of numer-

ous awards, including the Star FamilyPrize for Excellence in Advising in 2012 forher exemplary intellectual guidance andmentorship of Harvard undergraduatestudents and the 2012 Living Legacy Awardfrom the Association for the Study ofAfrican American Life and History.

The Princeton Board of Educa-

tion has hired a Chicago-basedheadhunter to conduct a na-tionwide search for the successorto superintendent Judith A. Wil-son, who will retire from the dis-trict on Dec. 31.

Wilson will be leaving sixmonths prior to the end of hercontract, which is up in June2014. If Wilson had chosen to re-main in the district, her salarywould have been subject to a paycut of more than $50,000 as a re-

sult of state-mandated caps thattook effect in 2011. The state capsare determined by the enrollmentof individual districts.

Wilson will earn more than$220,000 for the 2012-2013 schoolyear, but if she had chosen to re-main in the district, her maxi-mum salary for next year would

have been $165,000.Wilson delivered her formal re-

tirement letter to the Board of Ed-ucation on March 20. In the letter,

Wilson attributed her decision tothe new legislation that governssuperintendent contracts.

Board of Education presidentTim Quinn said the board knewabout a month ago that Wilsonwould be leaving, and it has al-ready completed the process ofinterviewing and hiring a searchfirm to advertise and recruit forthe position.

Weve hired Hazard, Young,Attea & Associates to lead us

through the process, Quinnsaid. Theyre a national firm outof Chicago with satellite officesall over, including in NewJersey.

Hazard, Young, Attea & Associ-ates is the same search firm thatpresented Wilsons application tothe board in 2004. The board will

pay the firm $18,500 to find hersuccessor. Quinn said the firmwould meet with the board onApril 10, and then begin to form a

candidate profile.Theyll be talking to the

board, community members,teachers, students and otherstakeholders, Quinn said.Theyll come up with a profile ofwhat were looking for in a super-intendent.

Quinn said the firm would con-duct a national search, but thatinternal candidates were also apossibility.

Its early in the process,

Quinn said. Im unaware, andwouldnt be aware at this point, ifthere are any internal candidatesfor the job, but that is certainly apossibility. Any internal candi-dates will go through the samevetting process through thesearch firm.

Quinn said the board hopes to

extend a contract offer to a candi-date in late September or earlyOctober.

Since Mrs. Wilson cares so

much about our district, she gaveus nine months notice instead ofthe required four, to give us timeto attract the best candidate,Quinn said. Weve been told bythe search firm that were in agood position because weve had ahistory of strong, long-term lead-ership, and a high functioningboard thats focused on studentoutcomes. The firm also empha-sized the need for us not to settle.We want to feel like we have the

person everyone feels energizedby, and is in the best position tolead us.

Quinn said he hopes the newsuperintendent will receive amulti-year contract, though he isnot able to speak for the board onthe matter.

I cant speak for the board, but

I think it is in the best interest ofthe district to have a multi-yearcontract, he said. We wouldhope that we would want to make

a commitment to someone to behere for several years. Our dis-trict has benefited greatly fromhaving stable leadership for thepast nine years, and I imagine weall share a desire for that to con-tinue.

Quinn said that throughout thesearch for a new superintendent,the board would consider thewell-being of the districts stu-dents their top priority.

Its all about whats best for

the kids, Quinn said. Theteacher is the most important in-fluence on the students in theclassroom, but the next most im-portant thing is solid, strong lead-ership at the top. Weve been veryfortunate to have that with Mrs.Wilson, and we hope to continuethat with her successor.

Panel discussion held for proposed gas pipelineBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton SunA spokesman for the Central

Jersey Sierra Club says largewater diversions from local wa-terways would be necessary totest the integrity of the newnatural gas pipeline proposed torun through an existing ease-ment in Princeton.

These pipes require largewater diversions to test their in-tegrity, Terry Stimpfel told some50 residents who attended a paneldiscussion on the Princeton Uni-versity campus on March 27.This is a large and long pipe.Imagine how much water it willrequire to get tested at the highpressure that it must sustain,said Stimpfel, who moderated thepublic event.

The discussion featured com-ments from Kate Millsaps of theSierra Club, Faith Zerbe of the

Delaware Riverkeeper Network,Jennifer Coffey of the StonyBrook-Millstone Watershed Asso-ciation, and Alice Baker of theEastern Environmental Law Clin-ic.

It made sense for me to mod-erate this discussion, Stimpfelsaid. I happen to be the chapterfracking issues coordinator aswell as the chair of the centralgroup. I think I have an under-standing of these issues, and itsvery important to give the publica better understanding as well.

The panelists discussed thepipeline project recently pro-posed by Williams Corporation,the Oklahoma-based owner of theTransco natural gas pipeline net-work.

Plans for the project involve in-stalling a 46-inch natural gas pipealong an existing easement inPrinceton, just south of Route206.

We recognize the need for nat-ural gas pipelines. We just alsowant to talk about the disadvan-tages, Stimpfel said. This ispart of a larger pipelineproject slated for New Jersey.

These projects in general arehaving impacts on ourwatershed and harming riversand forests.

Stimpfel feels that one of themost important points for the

public to understand is New Jer-seys lack of need for the gas, andthe states role as a middle-man.

The biggest thing we need tosay is that New Jersey doesntneed this gas, Stimpfel said.The need statewide has re-mained flat. Were between theproducers and their market. Wedbe looking at a project that dou-bles the capacity of the pipelinesthrough the area, and I have tosuspect that this new line canttake much more pressure. Thereis no evidence for that need atall.

Williams Corp. must submit aproposal and application for theproject to the Federal Energy Reg-ulatory Commission before it canbegin construction. The companyannounced in February that ithad begun the FERC applicationprocess, which requires the sub-mission of project sketches andmaps, as well as several types of

environmental and residentialimpact studies.

Stimpfel said the impact stud-ies were incomplete, because theexpansion project has been seg-mented into several-mile stretch-

es.They have been allowed to

segment this project, when it isreally one long parallel expan-sion, Stimpfel said. So therewill be no impact studies on theentire length. Theres no thor-ough scientific analysis on theimpact of the entire project, sothe depth of the impact studiesare significantly less, and will not

be near the same level.Williams Corp. will hold an

open house for residents and com-munity members to discuss theproject and the application filingprocess on April 11 at 6:30 p.m. atthe Otto Kaufman CommunityCenter in Montgomery. More in-formation about the project isavailable at http://leidysouth-east.wordpress.com.

to a nearby tree. The tree fire wasput out, but the gas fire was un-able to be extinguished.

PSE&G personnel arrived atthe scene before 1 p.m. Police saidthe utility company representa-tives worked with emergency re-sponders to devise a plan tomove the machinery and stop thegas fire.

The machinery belonged toTop Line Construction Corpora-tion, a Somerville-based companythat was contracted to perform a$1.49 million roadwork project forthe town.

There was some type of verti-cal stem that came off of the gasmain, Steve Castela, Top Linevice president, said. We were ex-cavating the road with a millingmachine, which grinds up the

road, when we struck the pipe. Itcreated a gas leak, and the impactbetween the machine and thepipe created a spark that ignitedthe gas and lit the machine onfire.

Castela said the accident oc-curred because the gas pipelinewas unmarked, and the crew didnot know the pipe was there.

State law requires every con-tractor to call a central dispatchnumber to report that youregoing to perform excavation, andthey advise you of all the utilitiesin the area, Castela said. All thelines and wires that run underthe ground are marked out withspray paint or some kind of flag-ging system. We did not see anymarks out there at all. We workunder the assumption that thegas company has performed theirobligation in marking thoselines.

Kristine Snodgrass, a spokes-woman for PSE&G, said the utili-

ty company had indeed markedout gas lines in the area of thefire.

I can confirm that markoutswere done at that location, shesaid. The investigation will look

into what happened, and whetherit was marked or not.

Snodgrass said the companysinvestigation would take a gener-al look at PSE&Gs process ofmarking out gas lines.

The incident is under investi-gation at this point, she said.Were going to figure out whathappened, and until that processis completed, there is not muchmore I can say.

In addition, a spokeswoman forthe Board of Public Utilities con-firmed that the office had begunan investigation into the incident.

Castela said he has never seenan explosion or fire like thisoccur on a job site before.

We do this every day, and thishas never happened before, hesaid. There are dozens of con-tractors in the state performingwork like us, and as far as I know,this hasnt happened to anyone.Most of these gas lines aremarked the way they are sup-

posed to be, so I have to say thelikelihood of this occurring againis not great, but all it takes is onemistake to cause a very danger-ous situation.

The milling machine was cut-ting no deeper than eight inchesbelow the road surface, accordingto Castela. According to informa-tion on the PSE&G website, gaslines are typically several feet un-derground.

Contractors are required tocall One Call Damage PreventionSystem, a program contracted bythe state to make contractorsaware of utility lines, at leastthree days prior to excavation.Castela said the required callswere made, but the line remainedunmarked.

Neither the miller machine op-erator nor anyone on the scene in-curred any injuries, but the

$700,000 piece of machinery wascompletely destroyed.

Castela said his insurancecompany would also look into thematter, and he expects that thecost of the machine would ulti-mately be covered by PSE&G.

The Princeton Fire Depart-ment, Princeton First Aid andRescue, West Windsor EmergencyServices, and Mercer AirportEmergency Services all respond-ed to the fire.

First responders were on thescene within a few minutes, butthe fire continued to burn intothe afternoon.

Police said the fire was finallyput out around 3 p.m.

While emergency personnelbattled the blaze, Ewing Streetwas closed to traffic betweenNorth Harrison Street and Ter-hune Road, as was Cuyler Avenuebetween Ewing Street and WalnutLane.

Residents in eight homes in the

immediate area were evacuatedas a precautionary measure,though they were allowed to re-turn to their homes by 4:30 p.m.

According to police, five homesnear the location of the pipelinerupture were without natural gasservice for most of the day, butservice was restored by theevening.

The Top Line project includedsanitary sewer improvements,new curbs and sidewalks. Whenthe accident occurred, the crewwas working on the final stage ofthe project, which required theroadway to be removed and re-placed. Castela said the crew losta day of work due to the fire, buthe expected the project would becompleted before the end ofMarch.

Police personnel issues continue to draw attentionBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun

Personnel issues continue to

focus attention on the PrincetonPolice Department.

Princeton recently reached an$87,000 settlement with the policeunion in a lawsuit broughtagainst the municipality by an of-ficer in September 2011.

Princeton will pay $33,500 ofthe settlement, according to mu-nicipal attorney Edwin W.Schmierer.

The arrangement with the in-surance carrier is that they willpay a $20,000 deductible and 20

percent of the balance, Schmier-er said. We settled this withoutthe town having to claim any lia-bility in the situation.

Schmierer said insurance car-rier Municipal Express LiabilityJoint Insurance Fund settled thecase on behalf of the town, withthe permission of government of-ficials.

Police Sgt. Kenneth Riley suedthe department and municipalityafter he was targeted for an inter-nal affairs investigation and ulti-mately fired and indicted. Rileyalleged the actions were retalia-tion for reporting in 2008 that afellow officer allowed a drunken

driver to urinate in public.The criminal charges against

Riley were ultimately dropped,and he was reinstated to the de-

partment with $400,000 in backpay.

The recent settlement repre-sents the resolution of only one ofseveral issues affecting thePrinceton Police Department.

Michael Henderson andArthur Villaruz, former membersof the Princeton Township PoliceDepartment who claim they wereforced into retirement in 2010without just cause, filed suitagainst the department and mu-nicipality in January.

The two men retired after ascandal involving former PoliceChief Mark Emann and the al-leged illegal sale of weapons inthe police department. Emann al-legedly sold an M16 to a gun deal-er to obtain weapons for his per-sonal use.

Henderson and Villaruz wereinvestigated in connection with

the scandal, but criminal chargeswere never brought against them.Both faced administrativecharges. Henderson said he be-

lieved the deal was done legally,and Villaruz, who coordinated thesale of the M16, said he did solegally.

According to the lawsuit, bothmen were mistreated by the Mer-cer County Prosecutors Office.

Henderson and Villaruz saythey have not received compensa-tion for pay owed to them prior toretirement, and that the depart-ment retains possession of sever-al items of their personal proper-ty.

Henderson is seeking $40,000 inback pay and Villaruz is seeking$30,000. Schmierer said the townsinsurance carrier would also han-dle the Henderson-Villaruz case.

In addition to the litigationbrought by current and former of-ficers, the leadership of the de-partment is also under review.

Mercer County Prosecutor

spokeswoman Casey DeBlasioconfirmed on March 4 that the of-fice was looking into allegationsof misconduct by Princeton Po-

lice Chief David Dudeck.Attorney general guidelines

require us to conduct all investi-gations where a police chief or di-rector is implicated, DeBlasiosaid. It is in that capacity thatthe prosecutors office is current-ly reviewing allegations of ad-ministrative misconduct by ChiefDudeck.

The allegations, according tounidentified sources within thedepartment, are based on inap-propriate comments and jokes itis alleged Dudeck made to otherofficers and staff members.

Dudeck has not been in the of-fice since the allegations werelevied against him. At present,Capt. Nick Sutter is running theday-to-day operations of the de-partment. There has been no indi-cation of whether Dudeck will re-tire or return to the department.

Sophomore performs inCarnegie Hall for third show

On Saturday, March 3, HunSchool sophomore Sanchitha Bal-asubramanian 15 performed atCarnegie Hall in her third per-formance competition of the 2013calendar year. In each of her per-formances she has earned tophonors, consistently taking first

place at Carnegie Hall. Amazing-ly, she earned these awards bothas a concert pianist and mezzoalto solo vocalist.

Sanchitha began playing thepiano only five years ago. Overthe past two years, she has dedi-cated herself to the art, earningopportunities to perform andcompete at Carnegie Hall, Stein-way Hall, the Workshop for MusicPerformance Hall and BaruchHall.

Sanchithas interest in vocalperformance began in elemen-tary school, though it was notuntil last year that she began for-mal vocal training. Sanchithaperforms as a vocalist in The Hun

School choir, as well as in privatecompetitions. She focuses hertraining to operatic arias.

Success at the Crescendo Com-petition in January 2013 startedthe three-month streak for San-chitha at Carnegie. She explainedthe importance of connecting to

music as a way to help ease hernerves during competition. Songselection is so important to me,she said.

When I love the music I per-form, I am able to focus on simplyenjoying the music, more thanthe act of competing and being

judged. It puts me at ease, and Isometimes forget the audienceeven exists.

On April 27, Sanchitha will per-form Chopins Opus 64 number 2,

one of her favorite waltzes, at theGolden Key Music Festival atCarnegie Hall. This will be thesixth time she has performed onone of the worlds most famousstages.
