REDEVELOPMENT? MAYBE RIGHT AROUND
THE
CORNER
‘No Smoking’
Looms in WW
by Sue Roy
A
lthough council member
Kamal Khanna will be
leaving the West Windsor
town council in a few weeks, he is
still working to fulfill a promise
made in a campaign statement during the fall election (WW-P News,
October 11): To implement a smoking ban on all township property.
To this end, he has proposed a
smoking ban ordinance that will be
considered by the council on Monday, December 9, at 7 p.m., at a special work session immediately preceding the regular business meeting.
According to Council President
George Borek, “we will be discussing the ordinance and address any
changes or differences of opinion
W
hatever happened to the
redevelopment of the
Princeton Junction train
station and the West Windsor
downtown? Eight years ago hundreds of residents turned out for
planning charrettes led by architect
Bob Hillier. The vision was to
transform the acres of parking lots
at the train station and the well
worn office and retail space adjoining the station into a thriving mixed
use development of office, retail,
and housing, all within a few minutes walk of the busy commuter
hub.
But the initial enthusiasm
dimmed, critics of the plan raised
concerns — particularly about the
number of housing units that were
needed to make the concept profitable for a developer — and a major
economic recession came along.
Redevelopment in West Windsor
dropped out of view.
But recently bits and pieces of
“redevelopment” have come to
life. The Cyzner family has revitalized the Windsor Plaza Shopping
Center — to the point where some
people are no longer reflexively
calling it “the Acme Center.” The
latest tenant to open: InFocus Urgent Care, a seven-day a week
medical facility that will host a
grand opening ceremony on Sunday, December 15, from 2 to 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, the owner of the
Ellsworth’s Center at the corner of

Expansion Plans
W
Cranbury and Princeton-Hightstown roads, kitty corner from the
original redevelopment area and
just on the edge of the quarter-mile
radius from the existing train station, has quietly moved through the
Zoning Board process with an application to expand the retail portion of the center and to add apartments above the retail. The existing 22,000-square-foot commercial space will be expanded to approximately 34,000 square feet.
Two one-bedroom apartments now
on the site will be replaced by 20
one-bedroom apartments above
the retail.
A background information kit,
prepared for the Zoning Board application, clearly shows that the
Ellsworth project is building on the
ideas of the recent past:
“One of the main objectives of
this redevelopment project is to
create a mixed-use development
that is consistent with the Princeton
Junction Redevelopment Plan
goals. Instead of simply giving the
buildings a facelift, it is our desire
to transform this strip shopping
center into a pedestrian-friendly,
bicycle-friendly
destination.
Through the creation of outdoor
public gathering spaces and a consistent architectural style, a mixeduse ‘village center’ will be created.
“Pedestrian-oriented street life
will be created and public events
such as a farmer’s market, music
performances and photography exhibits will be encouraged. Located
in close proximity to the Princeton
Junction Train Station, the proposed one bedroom apartments at
Ellsworth’s Center will attract
commuters who will be able to
walk to the train station.
“Ellsworth’s Center, through
64 Princeton-Hightstown Road | Windsor Plaza
609-799-7009
See ad, page 15
More than a Makeover: Once it passes its final
township approvals, Ellsworth’s Center could have a
new look and also some 20 new one-bedroom apartments, making it a small representation of what planners had envisioned nearly a decade ago.
InFocus
Urgent Care
Open 7 days a week
this redevelopment, will provide a
sense of place and destination for
vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle
traffic. By using elements of architectural style and massing, while
keeping to a residential scale, the
project will provide the West Windsor community with a true village
center.”
The Zoning Board must grant
several variances to permit the expansion and the conversion of two
residential lots into parking and
stormwater management facilities.
It was expected to vote on the matter this Thursday, December 5, as
this edition of the WW-P News was
going to press.

Windsor-Plainsboro
school administrators, now
working from offices carved out of
an old library on Village Road,
built in 1882, are moving ahead
with their plans to relocate the district office in the addition planned
for the Village School.
Although not required to do so,
as a courtesy the WW-P district
presented its plans for the Village
School expansion to the Planning
Board on November 6. George
Duthie, principal architect from the
firm of Fraytak, Veisz, Hopkins,
and Duthie, explained that the expansion, which will cost approximately $13 million, is designed to
add six additional classrooms, conference, and multi-purpose rooms
to the school, as well as secondfloor office space for the central office, and space for the community
education and special services departments.
The addition will be built at the
back of the current school building
and will have separate entrances,
parking, and car and bus access
(see plan, page 14). Because Vil-

89 - 163 - 14 - Hut! ... Aargh!
OK, huddle up! It’s that
time of year when it gets darker for longer, so let’s review the
playbook. Motorists, meet me at
the next paragraph; walkers and
runners, second one down; cyclists,
third one down. Break!
Motorists, slow down! The
speed limit is a maximum, not a
minimum. Our excellent night vision as a teenager is fading fast —
we need twice as much light to see
as well as 20 years ago, and in 20
more we’ll will need twice as much
light again. Stop for pedestrians
crossing at intersections, there’s a
crosswalk there legally if not physically. And pay attention — huddle
up at the last paragraph. What number are we?
Walkers and runners, wear reflective clothing! Or at least wear
light colored clothing, and/or bring
a flashlight when out at night. Walk
against traffic, cross at intersections, and use the buttons to start
the flashing lights at crosswalks.
And pay attention — huddle up at
the last paragraph. What number
are we?
Cyclists, use your lights! Front
and rear, the new ones are bright
and affordable. Set them on blinking to extend battery life. Ride with
traffic and follow the rules of the
road. We have the same rights and
responsibilities as other drivers.
And pay attention — huddle up at
the last paragraph. What number
are we?
Back together here! Before we
head out, remember: team performance depends on each of us playing our part. We’re all number one,
and nobody wants to be any of the
numbers in the first sentence,
which are 2012 New Jersey traffic
fatalities — total, pedestrians and
cyclists.

Suburban Mom
ne of the most recognizable
ad campaigns in the world
is based on cosmetic giant
L’Oreal’s “Because You’re Worth
It” tagline, which for the last four
decades, has told girls and women
of all ages to recognize and rejoice
in their beauty and value.
Eight years ago L’Oreal Paris
launched something called “Women of Worth” to celebrate women
making a difference in the world.
Out of the thousands nominated
every year, 10 dedicated, passionate, and very special women are
selected to receive a $10,000 donation for their cause.
Tricia Baker of Plainsboro was
one of those 10 women honored by
L’Oreal. There were 3,500 nominees this year, the most ever. Tricia
was recognized for her work to
fight the stigma surrounding mental illness and to educate young
people about depression and preventing suicide.
This explains why a big white
limo pulled up in front of my house
this week. There was a bottle of
champagne to celebrate Tricia’s
nomination and a nice cheese and
crackers spread. I slid into heels
and a black dress for what was, on
the face of it, an exciting girls night
out at the swanky Pierre Hotel in
New York City. But it was for a serious cause. Nine of us who have
helped support the Baker family in
the four-and-a-half years since
19-year-old Kenny committed suicide were invited to attend the
awards ceremony.
Among those in our group: mental health professionals, people
who have had to deal with mental
health issues themselves or with a
loved one, friends, and Katelyn,
Kenny’s younger sister, who
coined the phrase for the non-profit
established by the family in the
wake of Kenny’s death: A.I.R. —
Attitudes in Reverse, which is
based on the idea that attitudes
about mental illness need to
change. We joined Tricia, Kurt, and
Miki, ambassador for A.I.R.’s
Paws for Minds program, in New
York.
Tricia was in illustrious company. The nine other honorees are do-
by Euna Kwon Brossman
ing what can only be described as
God’s work: rescuing neglected
and abused children in the foster
care system, establishing a camp
for homeless youth, helping the terminally ill fulfill their final wishes,
taking technology and computer
skills into inner cities where children don’t have those kinds of resources.
There was a first-grade teacher
from Sandy Hook Elementary
School who survived the massacre
there almost a year ago and has established a program for kids to help
other kids learn about compassion
and empathy. There was a survivor
of domestic violence in her childhood home who launched an organization to rescue other victims of
domestic violence; a mother who
lost her toddler to cancer who helps
families navigate the medical system and bureaucracy so they don’t
When the Baker family
first launched A.I.R.
friends told them that
their work would some
day be recognized nationally. Now, that day
has come.
have to choose between going to
work and being at the hospital; a
long-time volunteer who established a non-profit restaurant to
give at-risk youth a job and handson training, and a survivor of childhood sexual abuse who educates
children to prevent the same thing
from happening to them.
Each one of these women is a
bright shining light in her community who is quietly rolling up her
sleeves and working hard every
single day, driven by a vision and
the desire to make life better for the
voiceless or those who need help in
some way.
It is so easy to be awed by these
women and their remarkable
achievements, which is why the
awards committee selected presenters of note in their own right.
Lea Michele, star of “Glee,” spoke
about her admiration for these
women and their strength in the
face of adversity and the unexpected — an allusion to the recent death
of her co-star and real-life love
Cory Monteith. Other presenters
included news titan Arianna Huffington, MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski, actresses Andie MacDowell
and the legendary Diane Keaton,
and NBC Today show host Hoda
Kotb, who was Tricia’s presenter.
Tricia has acknowledged how in
the days and weeks following Kenny’s death, she was overwhelmed
by grief and feelings of despair and
hopelessness. But she knew that
with one in four people affected in
some way by mental health issues,
changes needed to happen — both
in the system and in attitudes — and
that’s why she sprang into action.
When the Baker family first
launched A.I.R., friends told them
that their work, especially their
mission to help high school and
college students who struggle with
depression, anxiety, and thoughts
of suicide, would some day be recognized nationally. And now, that
day has come.
“I know Kenny is always with
us, and he’s looking at all the good
we are doing to help others who are
suffering from the same issues that
took him from us,” says Tricia.
Tricia did not win the additional
$25,000 that was given to one national Women of Worth nominee
— that award went at the end of the
evening to Lauren Book of Lauren’s Kids. But Tricia and A.I.R.
have already won, garnering so
much more attention on the national stage as a result of being named
an honoree. And the award money
they received is enabling A.I.R. to
educate many more students in
New Jersey and other states as well.
Ultimately, L’Oreal’s tagline,
“Because You’re Worth It,” sends a
powerful message not just to the
women targeted by the marketing
campaign, but also to the audience
A.I.R. is trying to reach. As the
Bakers continue their bittersweet
journey, born in grief but sustained
by love and hope, their message is
that each and every life is beautiful
and valuable; each and every life is
worth it.
My Priorities Are Simple. They’re Yours!

R
eaders of this paper, as well as
many in the Princeton/West
Windsor area, likely recall Miss H.
She is the woman who for 15 to 20
years was homeless and often seen
sitting in front of Marshalls, walking along Route 1, or even camped
out in small patches of woods near
Marshalls.
A few years ago, a small group
of local women took it upon themselves to reach out and help Miss H
as hers was one of those unfortunate cases of someone who was
falling through the cracks. Their
efforts, along with many generous
donations, have indeed helped. Suzanne Newman, a local sports massage therapist served as the most
visible member of the group, providing much direct assistance as
well as soliciting donations (in previous years) from the readers of
this paper.
Initially, arrangements were
made for Miss H to stay in local
motels during the cold winter
months and, last year, a low-income apartment was arranged in
Trenton providing year-round accommodation. So far, so good. We
write to you now seeking contin-
ued financial support as there is an
ongoing need to assist Miss H with
her rent, currently $500/month.
The small group currently assisting provides transportation,
shopping assistance, and much
needed companionship as well as
significant financial support. In an
era when most charitable work has
been institutionalized, these women demonstrate that many situations require direct personal action.
If you remember seeing Miss H
and wished someone would help
her or if you simply find her situation compelling and you wish to
lend support; your donation would
be most welcome. Donations of all
sizes are welcome. An “Angel” donation of $500 would be most welcome. Each Angel would provide
one month of shelter, and 12 Angels would provide a full year of
shelter.
Checks may be made payable to

forcement officials will conduct saturation
patrols and sobriety checkpoints looking for
motorists who may be driving while intoxicated.
A concentrated national effort, the campaign helps to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through highvisibility enforcement and public education
tools.
Last year in New Jersey 19 percent of all
motor vehicle fatalities were alcohol-related. Nationally, during the combined months
of December 2007-2011, there were 4,169
people killed in drunk driving crashes.
Law enforcement agencies participating
in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over 2013
Year End Holiday Statewide Crackdown offer the following advice:
- Take mass transit, a taxicab, or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
- Spend the night where the activity is
held.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road,
contact law enforcement. Your actions may
save someone’s life, and inaction could cost
a life.
- Always buckle-up, every ride. It’s your
best defense against an impaired driver.
- If you are intoxicated and traveling on
foot, the safest way to get home is to take a
cab or have a sober friend or family member
drive or escort you to your doorstep.
- Be responsible. If someone you know is
drinking, do not let that person get behind
the wheel.

14th Legislative District for re-elect-
ing us on November 5 to represent them for
another important term in Trenton. It has
been a great honor and privilege to represent
all the residents in the nine towns that make
up the 14th District: Cranbury, East Windsor, Hamilton, Hightstown, Jamesburg,
Monroe, Plainsboro, Robbinsville, and
Spotswood.
As a legislative team, we are committed
to continuing our hard work to address the
many challenges facing our constituents and
communities, and to providing honest, independent leadership. We look forward to
serving all 14th District residents as we work
together toward building a promising future.
Lastly, we wish all our friends and neighbors a happy and healthy holiday season and
new year!

W

County for their support in the general election last month. It is an honor to serve this
county as members of the Mercer County
Board of Chosen Freeholders, and we both
look forward to continuing our work in
2014.
The New Year will present us with many
challenges. Some of these challenges, such
as creating jobs, promoting economic development, and reining in property taxes, are
not new, but require renewed energy to
achieve results. Other challenges, such as
the effective development of Trenton Mercer Airport as a regional transportation and
economic center, will require careful planning and strong leadership. But with the support of the great people of this county, we are
confident that we can do our part to help
meet these challenges and whatever else
may arise.
As we begin the holiday season, we again
thank you and wish you and yours the very
best for 2014.

the council members may have. If
there are just minor changes, the
council can then move to introduce
the ordinance at the business meeting immediately following the
work session. If not, it will be introduced at a later Council meeting.”
The ordinance seeks to prohibit
smoking inside all municipal buildings; within 35 feet of the entrance
of any municipal building; within
any township vehicle; in any enclosed retail establishments with
customer seating; and in any park
or other recreational facility owned
or leased by the township to which
the public is invited. The penalties
for violating the ordinance would
be: $250 for the first offense; $500
for the second offense; and $1,000
for each subsequent offense. Any
municipal employee who violates
the ordinance may also be subject
to disciplinary action.
Council member Linda Geevers
expressed some concerns about the
process being followed, as well as

Other Council News: Council
proclaimed Monday, December 9,
as “Communities of Light Day” at
its meeting on November 25. The
administration and council members also commended Womanspace and the work that they perform on behalf of victims of domestic violence.
Council vice president Kristina
Samonte noted that Womanspace
has provided emergency shelter
and comprehensive services for
victims of domestic violence since
1977 and for victims of sexual assault since 2002. Samonte asked
every West Windsor resident to
demonstrate their support of Womanspace’s initiative by placing luminaries along their driveways and
sidewalks on December 9.
The administration announced
that the annual tree lighting ceremony will be held on Sunday, December 8, at 7 p.m. at the Ron Rogers Arboretum, and will include
musical entertainment, free refreshments, and a fireworks display. In addition, the Historical Society of West Windsor is hosting an
“old-fashioned holiday at the
Schenck House,” located at 50
Southfield Road, on Saturday and
Sunday, December 7 and 8, from 1
to 4 p.m. The event will include
self-guided tours, refreshments,
and holiday decorations.
The Vaughn Drive parking lot
opened on December 1. According
to the Parking Authority, daily
commuters may only use the current Vaughn Drive entrance to the
Vaughn Drive Lot; and all commuters from Route 1 must turn left
onto Vaughn Drive and enter the lot
from the Vaughn Drive entrance.
Permit holder commuters approaching from the Alexander
roundabout can enter the Vaughn
Drive lot from the Alexander Road
entrance, and daily pay parkers
from the Alexander roundabout
must turn right at the light onto
Vaughn Drive and use the Vaughn
Drive entrance. Note that Vaughn
Drive is the only exit from the lot;
drivers cannot exit directly onto
Alexander Road.
Council also unanimously approved the return of a portion of
several escrow deposits relating to
various development projects, including Nassau Park Walmart,
$3,904; Susan Gordon, $1,555;
Hall Family Associates, $13,775;
Amended University Square PH. 2,
$4,504; and Edinburg Animal Hospital, $3,860. Council also unanimously approved a three-year
membership renewal in the Mid
Jersey Municipal Joint Insurance
Fund, as well as land development
performance guarantee agreements
with 19 Roszel Road LLC for new
office construction at that address.
Council also approved the purchase of four 2014 Ford Taurus SE
sedans or brand equivalent for the
township police division, from
Hertrich Fleet Services, at a cost of
$79,772. Hertrich had presented
the lowest bid out of three received,
and includes a total trade in amount
of $6,300 for five vehicles.
Two ordinances were also introduced at the meeting. The first ordinance proposes to amend Chapter
60 of the Municipal Code, relating
to the cable television governmental access channel programming
policies and procedures. In light of
the discussions during the past
election season regarding the restriction on political statements by
candidates and others being made
at council meetings, which are televised, within 100 days of an election, council is proposing to elimi-

hough there is still no supermarket on the horizon, renovations at the Plainsboro Plaza are
moving forward. According to

This year Plainsboro will be
adding Special Olympics to its offerings. In addition, teen and young
adult dances are held each season

generosity of this grant, Plainsboro
can continue to develop and build
upon these innovative programs.”

Because the center envisions
that its apartments will appeal specifically to commuters who use the
nearby train station, “walkability”
is a concept addressed in the Zoning Board briefing: “With its proximity to the train station, Ellsworth’s Center already attracts
many pedestrians who walk from
the adjacent neighborhoods to the
train station. The next logical step
for Ellsworth’s Center is to make it
more pedestrian and bicyclefriendly and, to provide outdoor
gathering areas.
“Pedestrian and bicycle access
to the center will be improved with
the addition of a second crosswalk
across Cranbury Road at the intersection of Carlton Place,” which
will connect to the existing sidewalk along Carlton Place and improve pedestrian and bicycle access from the Sherbrooke residential neighborhood.
In addition, the plan also calls
for a path that will lead pedestrians
in the opposite direction, away
from the bustle of the train station
and into 48 acres of open space that
lie along Cranbury Road immediately adjacent to the proposed new
parking lot for the center.
The one area of “blight” that the
plan does not address is the abandoned retail strip closer to the train
tracks. Shawn Ellsworth had sold
that property to Burke Williams in
1987, but it was foreclosed on in
1992. The current owner bought it
at that time, but did not finish the
construction and has since disputed
various rulings from West Windsor
Township. Says the Ellsworth briefing book: “This unfinished, abandoned shopping center is currently
an eyesore and a safety concern. It is
our hope that the success of the Ellsworth’s development project will
encourage the owners of that property to either sell the property or redevelop it themselves.”

lage Road East is a county road, the
district will also be making a courtesy presentation to the county
planning board. The plan also provides for the addition of a geothermal field, similar to the one located
at Grover Middle School; reconstruction of the storm drainage basin; and reconfiguring of some of
the landscaping and berms currently found at the school.
Township engineer Francis
Guzik was concerned about placement of fire hydrants, as well as
emergency vehicle access. The district agreed to review the plans
based on Guzik’s concern.
Township landscape architect
Dan Dobromilsky noted that the
current placement of the driveway
in the proposed plan would necessitate the removal of a grove of oak
trees donated and planted by volunteers. “While the removal of
trees is sometimes necessary, in
this case I think it can be avoided
by moving the location of the
driveway about 80 feet. I think it is
bad policy to remove them — there
isn’t enough landscaping at the
school anyway, and to remove trees

Duthie responded: “We are limited in where we can place the
driveways because of all of the utility lines, sewers, and cables which
run along the back of the property.
Plus, we really wanted to keep the
addition as compact as possible. It
will primarily be used by young
students and their parents, those involved in the extended day kindergarten, pre-school, early intervention, and special services programs,
and we wanted to keep it as contained and separate as possible. We
will consider your recommendations, and will do our best to add
additional trees and landscaping.
But we really have thought through
this plan very carefully.”
Planning Board Chairman Marvin Gardner noted that while the
board and township employees
could make recommendations;
those are not binding. Dobromilsky, Guzik, and members of the
board commended the district on
its decision to utilize a geothermal
field, noting that it was a forwardthinking environmental decision.

Rancan, Vinci Lead XC
by Samantha Sciarrotta
A
s has become custom in
Mercer County, the High
School South boys’ and
girls’ cross country teams dominated at all levels this season. Both
squads won the county, sectional,
and group titles; for the girls, their
sectional and group victories were
the first in school history. At the
Meet of Champions, the boys finished third while the girls came in
fourth. Both teams placed in the top
10 at the regional meet, the boys
finishing sixth and the girls finishing ninth.
Though the team was stacked
with talent, Tom Vinci and Christina Rancan could almost always be
found at the head of the pack.
Coach Kurt Wayton said the two
are “on different ends of the spectrum.”
“Christina is an exciting talent,”
he said. “She’s only a sophomore.
She is coming into this sport really
in her athletic infancy in a lot of
ways. With every season, really
with every week, there’s a new surprise, and I really believe Christina
has yet to even fathom her capabilities in regards to her potential, athletic and otherwise.”
Vinci, on the other hand, is a seasoned veteran.
“He’s been running for four
years,” Wayton said. “He has had
incredible success, but he’s also
had a couple of disappointments
along the way. I think he’s just been
able to learn from them and move
on to the point where now he’s able
to run with just about everybody.
He really buys into running at a 365
level, which you have to. I think
he’s one of those guys that could really be national caliber.”
Vinci and Rancan both started
running as sixth graders, as it was
the only sport offered in middle
school. Vinci’s brother, Mark, a
24-year-old University of Delaware graduate, also ran, but soon
gave it up. Their parents, Anthony
and Patty, pushed Vinci to follow in
his brother’s footsteps.
“When I was a kid, I always had
so much energy, so my parents always told me to go for cross country and use it,” he said. “I started all
the way back in sixth grade, and I
haven’t stopped since.”
The potential rewards are what
convince him to stick with it.
“Middle school was a lot simpler,” he said. “We ran I think two
miles a day, and I was alright at it.
When it got to high school, I could
see that it was such a step up. I saw
all the seniors and the goals they
achieved, so I saw that there was
somewhere for me to go. I had
goals, so I was able to push myself.
I liked that.”
Rancan’s mother, Helen, ran in
high school and encouraged Rancan to do the same. A lifelong athlete, Rancan fell in love.
“I just grew up doing sports, so it
was natural for me to join,” she
said. “It’s a totally different feeling.
It’s more of a family compared to
other sports. I played basketball
last year in the winter, and it was
nothing compared to cross country.
It’s a completely different experience than a lot of other kids are
having, so I’m really thankful for
it.”
Both have experienced a ton of
success during their combined six
years with the South program, and
they said they owe much of that to
Wayton. “I think it’s pretty much
all attitude,” Vinci said. “Our coach
is just absolutely amazing. Thank
goodness he came to our school.
He shows us what we can become
and helps us grow. Having that, you
have the drive to want to work for
ourselves and work for him to become better people.”
Rancan agreed, saying the mental aspect of running is often more
important than the physical.
“I know before every race, our
coaches always say, ‘If you picture
yourself doing well, then you’ll do
well.’ Our team takes that to heart.
You can definitely see how they
improve and the difference in their

running compared to others.”
Wayton, though, said it’s all
about the kids.
“In our sport, the virtues are rewarded,” he said. “The virtues are
consistency, honestly, discipline,
responsibility, positivity. These
kids have embraced that singularly
but also at the group level. They’re
great teammates. I can’t really say
enough about them.”

Snow Queen Returns
T
he DanceVision Performance
Company presents its holiday
ballet, “The Snow Queen,” at the
College of New Jersey’s Kendall
Hall Theater on Saturday, December 14, at 7 p.m., and Sunday, December 15, at 2 p.m. There are
more than 70 performers and 140
original costumes. The lead role of
the Snow Queen will be performed
by Jillian Davis, a former member
of the DanceVision Performance
Company and alumna of Princeton
Dance and Theater Studio’s Conservatory Program.
“It is always gratifying to see
our students succeed in the professional world,” says Risa Kaplowitz, DanceVision’s artistic director
and a West Windsor resident. “Jillian was a fierce and beautiful Dark
Angel in our production of ‘The
Secret Garden,’ and I believe that
she will make the quintessential
Snow Queen.”
After graduating from PDT and
DanceVision, Davis studied on full
scholarship at Pacific Northwest
Ballet in its professional division,
and at Alonzo King LINES Ballet.
She has worked with companies in
San Francisco and New York, including Labayen Dance/SF, Blue
Scorpion Dance Theater, and Ballet Neo, as well as for the choreographer Alexander Tressor.

“Through my experiences with
DanceVision, I was more than prepared for the professional world
that I am in now,” she says. “All of
the dancers are expected to work at
a professional level, respecting
each other, learning the choreography, putting their own voice into
the steps, and making the extra effort to make the ballet work.”
The Snow Queen premiered in
December, 2011, as a holiday ballet
alternative to the Nutcracker. “This
thrilling and beautiful ballet tells
the tale of a young girl’s courageous journey to rescue her beloved friend from the beautiful, yet
evil Snow Queen,” says Kaplowitz.
Based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen story, the ballet is
performed to an original score that
includes music by Rimsky-Korsakov and Edvard Grieg. In addition

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron:
Y
all-inclusives; romantic destinations, including Europe; all types
of cruise travel; and more. We
will personally guide you step
by step in planning and executing your destination wedding or
dream honeymoon, no matter
how big or small.
A destination wedding has
huge advantages. We are talking about dollars! It is typically
much less expensive than a traditional wedding with packages
starting as low as $1,200. The
wedding planner handles everything from the ceremony, event
coordination, live music, photos,
cake and flowers. It’s a one stop
shop. Plus, couples can also
enjoy some romantic extras: like
breakfast in bed, chocolate covered strawberries, champagne,
and spa treatments.
Your friends and family will be
talking about your wedding for a
lifetime!
Join us on Wednesday, January 8, at 7 p.m. in West Windsor
for an informational discussion
on Destination Weddings and
Honeymoons. Space is limited.
Call us at 609-750-0807 to

“It’s a giving season and a time
to be grateful,” says West Windsor
Arts Council Executive Director,
Arin Black. “As a small arts nonprofit, we can’t exist without support. That’s why were so grateful
for all those that donate.”
Contributions to the annual fund
provide resources for carrying out
the mission to be an incubator of
community arts. “Donating to the
annual fund helps us make a place
for the arts in our community,” says
Black, who points out that investment in the arts pays dividends.
“From higher literacy, better problem solving, stress relief, and a
clear economic impact, investing
in the arts rewards.”
A contribution of $10 buys
paintbrushes for an art class, $60
provides two hours of mentorship
to a student intern, $100 brings an
artist to Autumn Arts Afternoon,
$250 enables a film screening,
$500 funds an art exhibit opening,
$1,000 makes the Spring Awakening literary event a reality, $1,500
provides financial support to hire a

even greater through a match by
your employer,” says Black. Donations are tax deductible. Visit www.

Looking Back
T
he goose was
by Dick
really in distress. One day in the spring
of 1958 my neighbor Hugh, who
lived in the house at the corner of
Cranbury Road overlooking Grovers Mill Pond, came down to ask
me if I could help figure out what to
do about a Canada goose on the
pond that was having trouble flying. He said there seemed to be
something hanging from one of its
feet, and it couldn’t stay airborne
for very long because of the extra
weight. I said, “Sure,” and went
with him to see what we could do.
When we got to the pond I saw
that Hugh had already put his canoe
in the water, but he said he couldn’t
catch the goose all by himself. He
thought if we could catch the goose,
we could remove the object from
its foot, and it could fly again. It
sounded like a good idea. But how
would we catch the bird?
In those days, and up until about
1970 or so, the geese still migrated
south for several months every
year. They left these parts in November and did not return until
March. It was always a sign that
spring was approaching when we
heard the geese honking away as
they flew over our house first thing
in the morning on the way to the
pond in early March. Then sometime in the 1970s or ’80s we noticed that they were here all year
round. No more migrating geese
— another of the many obvious
consequences of global warming,
of course. But what about this
goose, now that he was back north?
We got into the canoe and
thought that if we could paddle out
toward the center of the pond so the
goose was swimming between us
and the shore we might be able to
force him to get up on the pond’s
edge, where one of us could grab
him while the other removed the
object from his foot — all without
injuring the bird, which we were
sure might be quite fragile. And also without capsizing the canoe. But
we were both pretty well experienced with a canoe, so we didn’t
worry too much about that.
While neither of us had ever
even touched a goose before, we
realized that geese usually do not
take off and fly from dry land, only

I
caught him and held him down in
the water while Hugh came up
from behind and grabbed the object
on its leg. It only took a few seconds to remove it. The object was
what was known as a muskrat trap,
and Hugh was able to pry it off with
the help of a screwdriver he had in
his pocket. As soon as it was off, I
released the goose; and did he get
out there fast. Wow! But when he
went back to join the rest of the
flock swimming on the pond about
a hundred yards away, they acted as
if he was no longer part of the family and they swam away from him.
We watched for a while, and it took
some time before he was welcomed
back as part of the gang.
In those days it wasn’t unusual
for farmers to try to keep undesirable animal pests away from their
crops by setting traps. Muskrats,
which could be up to two feet in
length, lived in ponds and were
considered undesirable since they
sometimes ate crops such as corn.
They also dug burrows in the banks
of ponds, thereby causing them to
give way and making it unsafe for
walking near the water. From the
look of this particular trap — or
what was left of it — it had been
there in the pond for many years.
But once in a while, as in this case,
a trap caught an unintended victim.

Like Hugh, I had
on shorts, a T-shirt, and sneakers. If
anything got wet, it wouldn’t matter.
The first application of our strategy failed. As we were herding the
goose toward the shore he suddenly took off, and we were afraid he
was going to try flying all the way
to the Millstone River, a half-mile
away. But he didn’t. He suddenly
turned around and landed in the
water not far from us near the edge
of the pond. That was our opportunity. He was tired from flying and
right where we wanted him. We
both paddled furiously and drove
him up onto the embankment next
to Cranbury Road (thankfully,
there was no traffic.) As Hugh
beached the canoe, I dove out into
the pond and scrambled after the
goose in the shallow water.
