Bibliophilia!
Princeton celebrates Pi DayBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun
Since 2010, Princeton has beenhome to the states largest-scalecelebration of Pi Day on March14. The date, 3-14, which corre-sponds to the mathematical con-stant pi (3.14), is also the birthdayof Albert Einstein, who spent thelast years of his life as a residentof Mercer Street.
Einstein loved Princeton. Hesaid hed been exiled to paradise,Mimi Omiecinski, Pi Dayfounder, said. One of the mostcelebrated mathematicians in theworld made this his home, andhis birthday happens to be Pi Day.If there can be any headquartersfor an annual celebration of mathand science, its Princeton.
The biggest events of thisyears Pi Day celebration wereheld March 9 and 10.
Princeton Public Library spon-
sored a kids violin contest, anEinstein look-a-like competitionand a Pi recitation contest.
The Historical Society ofPrinceton hosted tours and chil-drens activities, McCaffreys Su-permarket hosted a pie-eatingcompetition and Nassau Innsponsored a pie-throwing eventand a pie-judging contest.
There are so many differentplayers that I think bring their
very best to the table, Omiecins-ki said. Pi Day Princeton couldnot do this without everyone.Without all the Princeton entitiesthat sponsor our events and giveus the space to have them, thiscould never happen. My responsi-bility is to sculpt these events, but
they give the space and they staffthem. And thats not even men-tioning the merchants who givediscounts and promote theevents. Its a true collaboration,and I dont think that many com-munities could pull it off. Prince-ton is such a generous place.
The winner of the violin con-test was 5-year-old Elise Hwang,and 18-month-old Luisa Bonnertook top honors at the EinsteinLook-A-Like competition.

BOE rejects community center proposalBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun
The Princeton Board of Educa-tion on March 5 denied a proposalby the Valley Road School Adap-tive Reuse Committee to turn thebuilding into a community cen-ter.
The resolution, passed 9-1, out-lines a number of reasons fordenying the proposal, including
concerns about funding to reno-vate the building.
VRS-ARC, by its proposal, hasfailed to provide the board withcredible, documented assurancesthat it has or can secure fundingadequate for the extremely exten-sive renovations necessary tomake 369 Witherspoon safe forthe uses contemplated by the pro-posal, the resolution said.
The resolution was passedwithout prejudice, meaningthat the projects supporters cancome back to the school boardwith a new proposal 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 not farenough along in answering theirquestions, she said. We believethat the funding is there withinthe community, but our potentialdonors have been concernedabout not knowing where theschool board is going. We feel thatby taking the steps the board hasindicated need to be taken, thefunding will come, the projectwill take shape, and the boardwill feel a greater sense that wecan accomplish the goal.
In addition, the resolution said
the committee expected theschool board to take responsibili-ty for 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-sues associated with the project.
Weve formed a subcommitteeto pursue the zoning and park-ing, she said. The mayor isplanning a parking study of thewhole area, and wed like to be apart of that study. The next step isto sit down with Lee Solow of thePlanning Board and go over theprocess with him.
Cherry said the subcommitteehas crafted a zoning amendment
and will take responsibility forcommunicating with the zoningboard and the Princeton Council.
The amendment includes re-
quirements for parking, but thereis a lot of thinking that needs togo into the parking issue, Cherrysaid. Theres opportunity herefor people to weigh in. Some ofthe neighbors around the schoolare involved and their supporthas been great for us.
Cherry said she is confidentthat the VRS-ARC will be able topresent the board with a morecomplete proposal in the near fu-ture.
Its a resolution without preju-dice, so theres nothing stoppingus from going back with some an-
swers to their questions, Cherrysaid. We remain very optimisticand positive that we can makethis happen.

penheimer was a book collector ofwide-ranging interests, and hisfamily has donated his collectionof more than 15,000 volumes onphilosophy, math, history, art,music, literary criticism and bi-ography. It even includes a 1968first edition of Tom Wolfes piv-otal work, The Electric Kool-AidAcid Test.
Other exciting offerings in-clude a Beatrix Potter collection;a stunning 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 plusother titles on the sport; and LesOeuvres d'architecture d'An-toine Le Pautre, architecteorginaire du Roy which featuresdetailed 17th century architectur-al castle drawings.
Due to the spring holidays,there are no weekend sale daysthis year, 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 price day)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 whohelped sort and price the books,There are so many books, we canfeature only half this year. Therest have been set aside for the2014 sale.
Oppenheimers collection willbe displayed in two areas, one onthe main sale floor, the other inCollectors Corner the section
set aside for rare books. Many ofthe books amassed by Oppen-heimer were published by Univer-sity presses and most are in new,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, the sales warehousemanager. When we got to hishome, we saw a forest of neatlystacked books with only a fewpaths to navigate from one room
to another. The quality of thesescholarly books was far beyondour expectations.
Who was this bibliophile?Peter Oppenheimer was born inNew York City to parents who val-ued education. Books and musicwere a very large part of his up-bringing the house was full ofboth. His mother was a musicianand a Renaissance woman, hisfather was a mechanical engineerwith an interest in language. Both
provided fertile soil for Peter'sbrain. Young Peter began reading
at age 3 and was not only interest-ed in everything he read but re-membered it all as well. He begancollecting books in high schooland took notes in tiny print on 4 x6 cards on every book he read. Hissister, Lucie recalled that, Heread not just words or sentences,but whole paragraphs at a time.He was a virtual encyclopedia.His younger brother remarked,Before there was Google, therewas Peter.
Oppenheimer was trained inphilosophy and symbolic logic atthe University of Chicago and en-listed in the Peace Corps and
worked in East Africa in the1960's. When he returned, hetaught math and philosophy inSaint Louis and eventually movedto Princeton where he worked atthe Witherspoon Art and BookStore. The Bryn Mawr-WellesleyBook Sale staff is delighted thatthe family chose this venue to dis-play and sell this magnificent col-lection to aid area 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 a theological 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 of many 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 checks written 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 elected officials pursu-ing their own agendas are negatively im-pacting our quality of life in Princeton?
Are you tired of never-ending litigationand costly taxpayer financed settlements?Have you concluded that one-party munici-pal government is unlikely to result in out-comes to the benefit of all Princeton resi-dents?
Local Republicans offer much-needed di-versity of thought and experience. Prince-ton voters increasingly agree that Republi-cans could bring fresh perspective to mud-dled local governance. This is evidenced bythe fact that Republican candidates formayor in the past two years received 40percent of the vote four times the number
of registered Princeton Republicans.The June 4 primary and the November
general election will choose two PrincetonCouncil members who will help governour newly consolidated community. ThePrinceton Republican Committee wel-
comes expressions of interest from poten-tial candidates. You could be on the ballotas a running mate of popular Gov.Christie!
The primary filing deadline is April 1.We also welcome volunteers who want tohelp in getting out the vote and activelysupport Republican candidates.
For more information or an explanationof the election process, please email me [email protected]

By RABBI ANNIE TUCKERThe Jewish Center of Princeton
Over the past years, I have hadthe good fortune to attend manywonderful seders, including thoseled by my beloved father and bygood friends in this communityand others. Let me share a won-derful tradition introduced to meby the Lebeau-Batnitzky family,with whom my mom and I had the
pleasure of celebrating Passoverlast April.On the Lebeau-Batnitzky seder-
plate each year there is the requi-site haroset and bitter herbs, thesalt water and karpas for dipping,the shank-bone and the egg. Butin addition to all of these items,sitting in a proud place of promi-nence is something that I hadnever quite seen before in thiscontext 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, where sportsplay such an important role, base-ball is the quintessential symbolof spring a reminder of thehope, possibility and renewal thatthe holiday of Pesach is meant toinvoke. More importantly, howev-
er, the baseball sits on the seder-plate to do exactly what it did forme to inspire guests to ask ques-tions, for this, truly, is the goal ofthe seder ritual.
Seder night is meant to be atime to tell the story of the Exo-dus, catering the way in whichthis narrative is delivered to theunique ages and personalities sit-ting around one's own personalfamily 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 of ushave become reliant on the won-derful haggadot which exist tohelp us craft the seder rite, thesebooks are simply meant to be re-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" for sedernight drawing from the hag-gadah and other places to organ-
ize a series of readings, activities,songs and experiences that willallow our guests to enter into thedrama of the Passover story.
Here are 14 quick suggestions(in honor of the 14 steps of theseder) to help reinvigorate and re-imagine seder night, althoughthese are by no means exhaustive.Please feel free to use our TJCblog to offer your own good ideasand to share activities that haveproven successful at your family'sseder table. I look forward tolearning from your collective wis-dom and experience!
1.) Creative Introductions: Askeach guest to come to seder withan object that represents freedom.Begin the seder by going aroundthe table and sharing these selec-tions.
2.) Paper-bag Dramatics: Placepaper bags filled with a smallnumber of random household ob-
jects underneath the chair of eachguest (or each child). As the seder
continues, the goal is to find a wayto connect each item in the bag tosomething in the seder. Creativityis most certainly encouraged!(For example, one could pull out apaper fastener as the group starts
to talk about matzoh because thisis the food that "binds our peopletogether as Jews.")
3.) Assignments in Advance:Give each guest a small task orpiece of preparation that she/heis to bring to seder in order to en-hance the ritual. For small chil-dren, this could be as easy asdrawing a picture or practicing asong, for older children, prepar-ing a short skit (or rap or haiku)or researching a modern day free-dom-fighter to which we mightdedicate one of the cups of wine.Adults can also be given home-work in advance, ideally assign-
ments which connect to their par-ticular areas of interest or expert-ise (i.e. a history professor couldbe asked to research archeologi-cal/other evidence that exists re-garding the events in Egyptwhereas a feminist could be askedto come up with ways to incorpo-rate women's voices into the sederritual).
4.) Tweeting the Exodus: Sendthe following video to participantsbefore seder night:http://www.aish.com/h/pes/mm/Passover_Google_Exodus.html.Encourage each guest to write(and bring with them) the story ofthe Exodus in 140 characters orless.
5.) Food, Glorious Food: Extendthe karpas (green vegetable/appe-tizer) course by having lots ofhors d'oeuvres out on the tableduring the first part of the sederso that participants don't get toohungry.
6.) Engaging Young Children:

7.) Mad Libs (this idea is cour-tesy of the Feldstein family): Inadvance of the seder, put togethera Mad Libs style version of theExodus story, strategically remov-ing key nouns, adjectives, verbs,etc. from the narrative and askingguests to supply these instead. Onseder night, read the story com-plete with the participants' substi-tutions much humor will ensue!
8.) Pesach Jeopardy: Check out
the following website which con-tains real, live Pesach questionsthat have been used on Jeopardythroughout the years:http://babaganewz.com/games/jewpardy-pesach. Write down thequestions in advance and inter-sperse them throughout the sederas a way of keeping things lively.
9.) Chad Gadya (this idea iscourtesy of the Feldman family):Assign each guest a particularverse (and character) of the songChad Gadya. As the group comes
to that line, the guest is responsi-ble for making a sound that corre-sponds to his/her character. Forextra fun, purchase (or make)masks that also correspond toeach character and have guestswear 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 and en-courage guests to use/perusethem at will. Invite participantsto share interesting tidbits thatthey find and especially places inwhich different haggadot seem tohave different approaches to aparticular element of the seder.
11.) The Four Children: Lastyear I put together a resourcepacket of readings, activities, andreflections all based around thetext of The Four Children. For acopy, please email me at [email protected].
12.) Order of the Seder: Find acreative way of depicting the 14
different steps of the seder ritualand marking one's progressthrough them. My professor,Rabbi Steve Brown, designed 14

13.) Afikoman Scavenger Hunt:Rather than simply hiding theafikoman, design a scavengerhunt for children that eventuallyleads them to this piece of hiddenmatzoh. Bonus points for using
clues that come from the Biblesuch as "Lot's wife looked backand she thereupon turned into a
pillar of salt" (near the salt shak-er), or "The altar of burnt offer-ing, its copper grating, its polesand furnishings..." (next to theoven). Extra, extra bonus points
for having children decide togeth-er on a charity to which theywould like to donate in lieu of (orin addition to) receiving a gift forfinding the afikoman, extendingthe haggadah's message of social
justice into our day.14.) My Most Memorable Pe-
sach Ever: Have guests (especiallyolder ones) share the most uniqueor memorable Passover seder thatthey ever experienced. Whoknows, perhaps with all these new
ideas it will be this one!

BOE adopts tentative budgetBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun
The Board of Education has
adopted a tentative budget for the2013-2014 school year that wouldraise taxes by less than $150, onaverage, for Princeton residents.The $84.24 million proposed budg-et, adopted March 5, has been sub-mitted to the Mercer County su-perintendent of schools for ap-proval.
As a result of consolidation,the 2013-2014 budget is the firstthat will result in an equal tax in-crease across the municipality.The amount to be raised throughtaxation is $64.7 million, whichrepresents a $148.59 increase forthe average home assessed at$799,600.
The board of education willhold a public hearing on thebudget on March 21 at the JohnWitherspoon Middle School cafe-teria.
Though the public will have anopportunity to weigh in on thebudget, they will not have an op-
portunity to vote on it, as in previ-ous years. As part of a state in-centive for the district to moveschool board elections to Novem-
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 did notchange as a result of the new ap-proval process, and she felt theboards decision to move the elec-tions was well thought out.
The process is exactly thesame as in previous years interms of need analysis, caps,timelines, state Department ofEducation approvals and publicbudget hearings, Wilson said.The only difference is that thereis no public vote in April. TheBoard of Education did not movethe election in 2012 when thechoice was first available as itwanted to weigh all options, and,more than any other factor, becertain of all impacts, risks andassurances.
The district is at risk of losing
a significant amount of federalaid as a result of the federal se-questration. Wilson said that,though the district receives very
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 federal level,Wilson said. Our state categori-cal aid increased by close to$25,000 but we were charged 54percent more in interest, or an ad-ditional $116,666, for an overallloss of more than $91,000.
Though the board faced severalchallenges, Wilson said she washappy with the outcome of thebudget process.
Given very little latitude,many restrictions, no net gain instate aid and major costs still ex-ceeding the 2 percent cap, I am aspleased as is possible, she said.In the big picture, we were ableto maintain programs, for which Iam grateful, as the delivery of ex-cellent opportunities for all ofour children is our mission.
Community Park Pool awarded for designBy KATIE MORGANThe Princeton Sun
The Community Park Poolcame in No. 1 in the state whenthe New Jersey Recreation andParks Association presented itsExcellence in Design Award onMarch 5.
The NJ RPA presents designawards each year to projectsstatewide in categories based onproject cost.
The Community Park Poolwon the (award) in the $5 million-plus category, Jennifer Gander,NJ RPA Awards Committee chair,said. It was the only recipient ofthe award for that cost category.
Gander said the NJ RPA ac-cepts nominations through thesummer months, and delibera-tions begin in the fall.
Nominations are all submit-ted in the summer, she said. Wehave a subcommittee of parksand recreation professionals fromacross the state who are theawards committee. We all person-
ally visit all the nominated sites,and then we have a voting meet-ing.
According to Gander, the crite-ria for the award winners includethe projects esthetics, cost effec-tiveness and community out-reach.
We look for a uniqueness indesign and a range of appealacross the community, Gandersaid. We look at the needs theproject serves in the community,and how it changed and tookshape from start to finish.
The Community Park Pool ren-ovations, completed between win-ter 2011 and spring 2012, cost themunicipality a total of $6.37 mil-lion. The renovated facilities,which opened for use on Memori-al Day weekend 2012, include an18-inch detached wading pool and
a bay area with easy entrywhich cater to senior citizens,children and people with disabili-ties.
The largest cost was incurredby the decision to purchase a
stainless steel Murtha system forthe main pool. The Murtha sys-tem cost $1.5 million more than atraditional concrete pool but isexpected to cost significantly lessin long-term maintenance.
Gander said the CommunityPark Pool received the award as aresult of the designs simplicityand the way the project reflectedthe communitys needs and de-sires.
It was very interesting howthey involved the community,Gander said. They recognizedwhat the needs were. They want-ed to re-create the aspects of theold pool, but expand upon themwhile still keeping it simplistic indesign and not going overboard.They kept it simple, and thatswhat the community wanted.They used the Murtha pool sys-
tem, but with the existing bowls.Gander said the awards com-
mittee also took the green initia-tives employed by the project into

Pi Day celebrations have grown
competition was Daniel Luchan-sky, 12, who memorized and recit-ed 1,140 digits of pi.
Our pi recitation judges wereJohn Conway, esteemed professorof mathematics at Princeton Uni-versity, and his son, Gareth,Omiecinski said. Gareth was atwo-time champion so we had toretire him as a judge. Marc Umile
assisted the ceremonies since hewon the North American PiRecitation 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 more contestants and moreparticipants. Where werelooking to go next is wed reallylike to see some of the signatureevents become a fundraiser fornonprofits in town. Were notreally interested in money, butthe potential is there, and some-
body could really benefit fromthis. If Pi Day Princeton can bean engine 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 to celebratemath and science, particularlywith Princetons younger resi-dents.
Were looking to celebrate andinspire, she said. Math and sci-ence were not part of my up-bringing, but when I look at theparticipants, we have a nice mixof ages and boys and girls. In fact,the only contest which was domi-
nated by males was the pie eatingcompetition so I encourage allthe women of Princeton to re-think that for next year.
Memberships currently available
consideration.They brought in so many
green improvements, she said.The addition of the rain barrels
and the materials they used forthe roofing were very interest-ing. The award comes in the
form of a plaque that will be hungat the facility. In addition, thePrinceton Council recognized theaward with a presentation at theMarch 11 council meeting.
