It had to do with technology, which should come as no surprise to anyone, especially anyone who is of our generation — too old to know the language of tech as native speakers but too young to throw up our hands in frustration and give up trying to learn every new thing that comes down the pike — which happens way too frequently. We were trying to send out a mass mailing, but to different people. So we had to copy and paste the document, but then personalize it so everyone got the same warm and fuzzy feeling. We had already sent out four of these missives — sitting together in front of my laptop, the ultimate couple bonding activity in 2015 — when we decided to check our sent box to make sure the Emails were flying as they were intended. To our horror, we could not find those sent E-mails — initially. And then, when we did, it looked as if all four recipients were on the same Email loop so that they all received all four E-mails — each one identical except for the personalized greeting and close. “KATIE!” we hollered for help. As her nimble fingers worked over the keys, Bill and I looked on anxiously. “You both have to stop,” she declared, “because your energy is scary and not productive.” She understood the nature of our concern — mortification at being caught in an obvious cut and paste operation — the height of E-mail insincerity. Even as she discovered the problem — what looked like an interconnected loop, but wasn’t, thank Suburban Mom by Euna Kwon Brossman goodness — she said, “I’ve never seen anything like this; this program is not supposed to work this way.” Of course it isn’t. I somehow always seem to stumble onto the bad kinds of jackpots and never hit any good kinds of jackpots (except for the Pop Warner Wildcats 50-50 raffle when Will played Mitey Mites football, so you can figure out how long ago that had to be). I am constantly finding myself having to push past my technology comfort level. Use it or Lose it, Thrive or Die — whatever chant you have to invoke to survive in these superfast, constantly evolving technology times, you must, or get left in the dust. It is a whole other level of challenge for those in the next generation up. I have witnessed these struggles closely as I try to help my parents with their technology issues. In some cases, it is the blind leading the blind. In fact, I am in the midst of an unfolding saga, and it’s too early to say whether or not it will have a happy ending. I t all started when my dad was doing his taxes this past winter. At 85, he is fiercely independent and proud, as would befit a PhD from MIT. He’s used to doing things his way. So it’s hard for him to ask for help. In the middle of his Turbo Tax program, his laptop computer crashed, taking all his work along with it. With a former tax attorney son-in-law at the ready, we helped him resurrect his files in time to file for an extension. It was only a Band-Aid to the larger problem, which was that he needed a new computer pronto to do his taxes for real. In trying to be helpful, I made a severe miscalculation. I converted from a PC to Mac years ago at the insistence of my children. I had resisted. I joined the Apple revolu- I constantly find myself having to push past my technology comfort level.

I thought my dad would get a kick out of a Mac as well. One of the best perks about buying a new device is that you can sign up for a one-year, one-to-one tutoring program for the unbelievable price of $99. A believer in lifelong learning, I thought my dad could spend his re- tirement days going to the Apple store with my mom in tow happily learning how best to use his new computer. Wrong. Two weeks after helping him bring the computer home, setting it up, buying a printer and external hard drive, and setting up those as well, he declared that he did not like the new computer. He already knew everything he wanted to know and he did not want to learn how to use it. Take it back, he said. Awesome, I thought. But then again, completely understandable. Long story short: We needed a new desktop, so we are buying the new computer from him. He purchased another PC to replace the one that crashed, but this chapter of the story came with a whole other set of issues. The first was that he didn’t understand why he couldn’t get Internet when he flipped the computer on. So part of our Father’s Day gift was connecting the new PC to his WiFi and setting up his most frequently used icons. The next problem came in what should have been the easiest operation of all: setting up the printer. But the PC would not accept the printer’s setup disk. Initiate first phone call for tech support (from Calcutta). After almost an hour, the computer went into a series of automatic updates — 65 in all — and then the two devices still wouldn’t sync. Continue with a second phone call to Calcutta. Still no go. My dad then wanted to return his new PC and start again from scratch, but has been back to the store to get technical support there. Apparently they have been more helpful than I have. As of this writing, he says everything is under control. I hope it is, but there may be a sequel here. We’ll see. Letters & Opinions Continued from page 2 Emerald Ash Borer: An Environmental Challenge for WW T he emerald ash borer (EAB) is potentially one of the most devastating invasive pests ever introduced into the U.S. It arrived in the midwest from Asia several years ago and has been spreading rapidly eastward. It selectively attacks and kills ash trees — one of the more decorative trees preferred by landscape architects for urban streets and parks. (It also happens to be preferred by manufacturers of baseball bats —now in short supply.) Based on midwest experience, an invasion will kill all of the ash trees in a community within eight years if not addressed. On June 10, a confirmed adult beetle was found in a trap that had been hung within West Windsor. So West Windsor has a new environmental challenge to deal with. The Shade Tree Commission had drafted a response plan in anticipation of the beetle’s arrival, including a detailed posting “alert” on the township’s website that included a guide to help the public identify ash trees. The Commission has now developed an aggressive management plan which has, as its base, an established premise that it can be more economical to protect susceptible trees than to replace them. There are approximately 2,000 ash trees on the township’s public streets and parks and probably hundreds — if not thousands — on the streets and landscaping of private HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT SELLING YOUR HOME?

Annually, we are amazed when we arrive back at school after the prom to find the building transformed into a fantasy land. This year parent artists and craftsmen outdid themselves with the creative decorations and events. We enjoyed numerous games and wonderful edible treats. Prizes galore were awarded throughout the night. tT Put Yourself First! Results you can count on! It takes considerable effort by parents to arrange this drug and alcohol-free party. They have donated thousands of hours to make sure that our students have a safe place to celebrate. While we cannot list everyone, a special “thanks” goes to the chairwoman, Gina Finnie, as well as the various committee members. They are super-organized and dedicated parents who certainly made it easy for us to say “yes” to, well, almost everything. Many other committees were involved who worked very hard and contributed their time and efforts to make this evening a success. Thank you all for caring so much about our students. You have ensured that the great tradition of “Pirate Pride” continues. Dennis Leopold Principal High School South Summer Is a Hot Time for Writing W ith summer just around the corner, children are enjoying the warm weather, fun activities with friends, and vacation time. But summer can also be an enjoyable learning experience. The summer break provides many memorable moments, and writing about them is a good way to record those memories and practice writing skills at the same time. Parents tend to focus on their children’s reading and math skills, overlooking that writing is an education fundamental. It’s fast becoming the forgotten “R.” This is unfortunate, as writing is an important part of every facet of education, not just in English class. Summer vacation provides an excellent opportunity for children to explore their creative writing skills. Sylvan Learning has developed the following tips to help parents encourage their children to write over the summer: Pick an Engaging Topic. Persuading your child to write over the summer break may be easier if you help them identify fun and engaging topics. Suggest timely subjects. • For example, Independence Day is a good opportunity for your children to explore their own patriotism. • Ask them if they know what 253 Nassau Street • Princeton, NJ 609-924-1600 • (Dir) 609-683-8549 (Eve) 609-799-5556 • (Cell) 609-865-3696 My Priorities Are Simple. They’re Yours! patriotism is, and what it means to them. Encourage your children by helping them with some research about America, its history, people, and places. Give Story Starters. Sometimes the most difficult part of writing can be getting started. Help your children write their patriotic essays by giving them topic ideas, such as: • I am proud to be American because…. • On the Fourth of July, my family and I usually… • If someone asked me what my country means to me, I would say… Sylvan Tips on Writing • Good writing takes time. Spend time organizing your ideas and thinking about what you really want to say in your essay. • Use the Internet or library to research your topic. • Prepare an outline before you begin to write. • Use transition words such as “after,” “although,” “before,” “however” and “therefore” to help your ideas flow together. • Be willing to revise. Change your sentences and paragraphs around, add material that lends to your writing, and delete material that doesn’t work. • Avoid cliches and jargon. • Always keep a dictionary handy to help with spelling. • Use a thesaurus to help you think of a new way to say something. • Ask someone else to edit your work. • Proofread everything. Make sure grammar, spelling, and punctuation are perfect before you declare anything “finished.” • Don’t rely on a computer’s spellchecker. Sylvan Learning can help children improve writing skills through its academic writing program, designed to help students understand many writing formats and styles. Students in the program also complete exercises in grammar, spelling, vocabulary, paragraph structure. and essay development.

Now you have a personal representative. residential developments and private homes. Proven systemic treatment of many ash trees on public land has already begun. These treatments can be costly and must be repeated for several years if they are to be effective. We will be seeking cooperation and coordination with neighboring townships and with Mercer County, given that Mercer County Park is the largest parcel of open space within West Windsor and probably has many ash trees in its landscaping. The Township’s EAB Management Plan includes outreach to the West Windsor community. We are planning to use all available media to communicate to the public the nature of the EAB challenge and suggest what individuals or private communities with ash trees on their property may choose to do about it. (As an example, Village Grande has already developed its own action plan.) We will distribute informative “fliers” to residents in neighborhoods where ash trees have been planted on their streets or on nearby parks. We are also considering holding seminars to reach out to residents in which we would invite the participation of arborists to explain alternative treatment options and their costs. Meanwhile, the Township’s Shade Tree Commission will soon make recommendations to the administration and council, including a practical schedule and a cost-effective budget to deal promptly — and for as long as it takes — with this environmental challenge to our ash trees.

Without you stepping up to not only lead one, but both teams, we would have never been able to continue reaching for academic excellence. The collaborative environment that you fostered provided many rewarding experiences. I know that it must not have been easy to put in all the hours after school, but I hope we made you proud. Even when my memories of Science Bowl fade, I will never forget the work ethic and humility that you instilled in me.” MIT officials stated, “We are grateful to you for inspiring your brightest students to become our students.

Office: (609) 799-8181 Residential Brokerage 50 Princeton Hightstown Rd. • Princeton Junction, NJ 08550-1107 JUNE 26, 2015 B eginning July 13, Plainsboro will have a new administrator, one who brings decades of government experience at a variety of levels. Anthony Cancro, finishing a five-year stint as business administrator in Springfield Township, is the Township Committee’s selection to replace longtime administrator Bob Sheehan. “The mayor and committee want to continue the effort and planning of smart growth,” Cancro says. In addition he will work toward addressing the township’s challenges, including stabilizing taxes and affordable housing obligations. He currently lives in Pennington with his wife, who works for the state Department of Human Services. They have one son, who is studying business management and economics at Washington College in Maryland. Cancro grew up in Teaneck. His father owned and operated Cancro’s Restaurant, an Italian eatery in town, for more than 50 years. His mother was a school aide. As an undergraduate at Ramapo College of New Jersey he studied environmental science, then received a masters in the same field from the City College of New York. He also has a masters in public administration from Rutgers. “My passion when I was growing up was being outdoors, cherishing nature and how beautiful it is,” Cancro says. “I wanted to preserve MEET THE NEW PLAINSBORO ADMIN nature and outdoor space and environment. I thought that would be something I enjoyed studying and I wanted to make a career out of that.” Cancro, an avid hiker, says his favorite spots are the mountains around Ramapo and the Adirondacks. It was Cancro’s father who encouraged him to work in the public sector. “He thought you should do something honorable and you should do something that should help people,” Cancro says. “And government is both.” His first job was with the New Jersey Department of Energy, which has since merged with the Board of Public Utilities. He joined in the late 1970s, during the oil crisis, and the state was evaluating the prospect of offshore oil drilling. Cancro worked with a team of engineers, conducting many feasibility studies that ultimately concluded there was a lack of sufficient offshore resources. After nearly a decade there, in 1986 Cancro moved on to the Department of Community Affairs, where he filled various roles for more than 15 years. This included serving as director of the Division of Housing, which was responsible for affordable housing, as well as deputy commissioner and acting by Vincent Xu commissioner under governor Donald DiFrancesco. Mayor Peter Cantu has said affordable housing obligations are one of the challenges facing all state municipalities after the state Supreme Court shifted affordable housing oversight from the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH) to the judiciary. Cancro joined the Department of Community Affairs ‘In municipal government the issues are more acute and they need to be resolved quickly,’ Cancro says. shortly after the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1985 that set up COAH within the department. “All municipalities should try to understand the Supreme Court decision,” Cancro says. “I think the state has an obligation to create affordable housing obligations, and I’m sure all the towns are going to do the best to meet their affordable housing obligations.” He declined to comment further on affordable housing. Cancro served as acting commissioner of the DCA from 2001 to 2002 after commissioner Jane Kenny was appointed by the presi- dent to serve as the EPA Region 2 administrator, which includes New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. After one year as acting commissioner, Cancro worked for several years as Kenny’s chief of staff at the EPA. There Cancro worked on policy, programs, and staffing. Environmental priorities included cleaning up the Hudson River, brownfields, and implementing regulations involving air quality and alternative wind power. In 2006, after previously working at the state and federal level, Cancro was recruited by the recently elected mayor of Edison, Jun Choi, to serve as town administrator. “The biggest difference is that usually in municipal government the issues are more acute and they need to be resolved quickly. Like pot holes in the street, garbage pick-up, a fire,” Cancro says. “On the federal level they take a lot of research, peer review, scientific review. Those positions could take many months if not years to try. It’s still public policy, but the process is usually longer. The big adjustment was being able to respond quickly and appropriately to the needs of the residents.” Choi was not re-elected in 2010, and Cancro became the business administrator for Springfield THE NEWS Township. The Springfield budget, at roughly $30 million, is a fifth of what Cancro managed in Edison, but is on the same scale as Plainsboro’s $26 million budget. During his time at Springfield, redeveloping the historic downtown area was a high priority. A redevelopment plan is in place. “Short Hills Mall and the towns around us, Millburn, Summit, Maplewood — competition is fierce for the public to go shopping,” Cancro says. “The township committee was united in trying to redevelop a portion of downtown.” As Plainsboro administrator, Cancro will manage a township of similar size. He is impressed by the township’s leadership stability and financial strength. “I’m looking forward to working with the mayor and the township committee, trying to address the challenges they have in Plainsboro,” he says.

Bond and Capital Ordinances Introduced. Council introduced a bond ordinance totaling $3.99 million for capital improvements and a capital improvement ordinance appropriating $525,000. A public hearing for both ordinances will be held at the next Council meeting Monday, July 13. A majority of the bonds issued will fund roadway, hazard mitigation, and municipal facility improvements, while the capital appropriations are related to the maintenance and development of open space, and funded by open space trust funds. Liquor license. Council approved the 2015-’16 renewal of liquor licenses for two retail distributors, Wegmans and Trader Joe’s. Six retail consumption licenses were also renewed: Chili’s; TGI Fridays; Hyatt Regency; Big Fish; On the Border; and PF Chang’s. Council also approved the transfer of the Chili’s license from Grayling Corporation to Buffalo Wild Wings, owned by AntSulBWW VII LLC. Municipal Energy Aggregation. Municipal electricity accounts have switched over to thirdparty suppliers this month, a move that is expected to save the township six percent in utility expenses this year, or roughly $20,000, in comparison to purchasing electricity from utilities. The third-party agreements are for one year, with one street light electric supply agreement spanning two years In March the township joined the New Jersey Sustainable Energy Joint Meeting (NJSEM), participating in the co-op’s scaled-up bid for third-party electric supply. NJSEM’s bid met the township’s price threshold. “We joined NJSEM with the interest of lowering rates, costs, and increasing green content,” says Dobromilsky, who led the initiative. “From the bids, 20 percent of the energy portfolio is from green sources. The utility company default is around 10 percent. To get more savings and more green is pretty good.” Father’s Day Food Trucks. The Food Truck Fete will return next year, according to Parking Authority board member Alison Miller. Held in the Vaughn Lot on June 21, Miller called the event a “fantastic success,” with more than 2,500 people in attendance. In particular the beer truck, sponsored by the Arts Council, was “very, very popular.” In other news, Council approved three residents for the Zoning Board, re-appointing Virginia Manzari and Daniel Marks, and adding John Church. Council also approved the purchase and upgrade of 911 technology equipment from KML Technologies in West Deptford for $75,000 and subsurface investigation by ACT Engineers of the recently acquired 10.4-acre parcel at 125 Penn Lyle Road for $29,500. The township will also install a 200 kilowatt backup generator at the municipal complex. The $75,000 cost is covered by a federal grant. Business Administrator Marlena Schmid announced two upcoming resurfacing projects. Resurfacing for the municipal parking lot will be completed by end of July, and PSE&G will begin resurfacing Scott and Berrian avenues in four to six weeks. A rendering of the proposed Korean Community Center on Meadow Road. SPRAB. The Site Plan Review Advisory Board (SPRAB) reviewed the application for the Korean Community Center of Greater Princeton. The center will be a onestory building with more than 10,000 square feet, located on a 6.4-acre lot at 555 Meadow Road. In 2011 the Korean Community Center Foundation purchased the parcel from the nearby Princeton Presbyterian Church. The Foundation is expected to return before SPRAB to answer board inquiries regarding building architecture. SPRAB also requested in writing a list of current and anticipated programs. “The biggest question is that it is not going to be a day care center, not a formal school,” Dobromilsky says. “They told us the use is for a cultural center. They will have classes teaching language, cooking, cultural activities. It is anticipated most of the activity is on the weekends and off peak hours in the evenings.” Educational, social, and health services for adults and children will be provided, according to program director Ki Hoon Cha, and the center is expected to be completed by 2017. Adult services include vocational training programs, social and medical services for the elderly, and a variety of self-sufficiency programs such as art, Korean dance, history, music, and technology programs. Similar education programs will be available for children and youth, as well as an ESL tutoring program. 36 Month, 0% Interest Financing, No Down Payment* OR Lennox Rebates Up To $1700 PLUS Utility Rebates Up To $1000 PLUS Free 10 Year Parts and Labor Warranty on Selected Equipment TOTAL VALUE UP TO $3,245 Purchase a Lennox high efficiency Home Comfort System and that’s what you can get.

Election day is Tuesday, November 3. The two Plainsboro seats set to expire this year are currently held by Board president Tony Fleres and Rachel Juliana. Neither could be reached before press time. In West Windsor, Board vice president Michele Kaish has confirmed she is running for re-election. No Homework Nights. After scheduling four “No Homework Nights” this past school year, the district announced an increase in homework-free nights for the 2015-’16 school year. In an E-mail to district parents, Superintendent David Aderhold wrote, “For planning purposes, this means that students would not have homework on these nights, and no assignments, homework, reports, long-term projects, or tests scheduled for the following day. Also, long-term projects would not be due until the Thursday of the week students return from Thanksgiving Break, Winter Recess, and Spring Recess.” For K-12 students next school year, No Homework Days are: October 2, January 29, March 4, April 15, and May 13. High school students also have October 1, January 28, March 3, April 14, and May 12 as no homework dates, which were added to provide continuity across the rotational high school schedule. Surveys conducted by a subcommittee of the Superintendent’s Advisory Council found a majority of high school teachers did not support No Homework Nights, in part due to incompatibility concerns with the rotating day schedule. More than 80 percent of K-8 teachers and K-12 students and parents support the policy. In other news, the district will switch over to a new student information system this summer. Genesis is replacing Infinite Campus, and the new platform will become active in August. Parents will receive an E-mail with account access instructions. The next Board of Education meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Grover Middle School.

The township’s sidewalk design for the county road was reviewed by the Mercer County Freeholders at their June 25 meeting. The meeting took place after The News went to press, but township attorney Michael Herbert, who also represents the freeholders, said that the resolution approving the sidewalk design would likely pass. With county approval, the next steps are to secure an engineering consultant to finalize the technical aspects of the plan, as well as environmental permits from the state Department of Environmental Protection. The township also needs to acquire easements from property owners on the road. At the March 30 council meeting, Guzik said construction on road sections free of DEP concerns could begin as soon as October.

Based on 2009 data, 7,000 cars a day traverse North Post Road, which links Clarksville and Alexander roads. At the meeting, director of community development Pat Ward and township engineer Francis Guzik said safety considerations necessitate widening the curve that bends left when approaching Clarksville Road from the Alexander Road roundabout. Other objectives include roadway widening, and bike lane and sidewalk additions. The project is still in the concept stage, and the initial plans outline a 36-foot-wide street section with two 12-foot-wide travel lanes and six-foot-wide bicycle lanes, or a 32-foot-wide roadway with 11-foot travel lanes and five-foot bike lanes. At certain locations, Guzik said, sidewalks, curbs, and three utility poles would be relocated onto private property. In May the township contracted Hamilton-based Roberts Engineering Group for survey and engineering services. Ward said the administration will relay community feedback to the consultants. Residents questioned the purpose of the project. Guzik explained the capital improvement is part of the master plan and the township’s multi-modal and safety improvement objectives. With respect to safety improvement, Monterey Drive resident Ernest Valeo said more accidents occur at the North Post Road intersections compared to the curve. The car lanes on North Post Road are currently 10.5 feet wide, and multiple residents questioned the effect a repaved wider road would have on speed, as motorists already regularly exceed the 35 mile-per-hour limit. There were also questions over the suitability of installing bike lanes. North Post Road resident Frank Cioffi said he has been a cyclist for more than 40 years, and that adding bike lanes would be “inviting disaster.” Monterey Drive resident Kathy Brennan, a West Windsor Bicycle Pedestrian Alliance trustee, also opposed the bike lanes. The addition of bike lanes would also eliminate street parking, and North Post Road resident Rafael Ruiz said this would inconvenience residents hosting social events. Council president Bryan Maher and Council vice president Linda Geevers both attended the meeting. Maher told the audience that Council approves the agenda and funding for projects, and that nothing would move forward without community input. But, “we have to improve the road in some sort of fashion,” Maher said.

The center will be located at the former Ace Hardware store, near the recently opened Planet Fitness gym. Owner Ketul Parikh anticipates a grand opening in late July, once construction and licensing are complete. Enrollments for summer and fall curriculum classes are currently held at Lightbridge’s temporary space at the other side of the Plaza, adjacent to Dunkin Donuts. The center can accommodate up to 195 children, with programs for children ages six weeks to kindergarten, as well as after school and summer programs for children up to age 12. Ketul and his wife, Krupa, live in Monroe with their two children. A classical musician, Krupa wanted to become involved in education. “We started looking at how do we get her engaged in education,” Ketul says. “Doing research, we found Lightbridge Academy was the right one for her. Once we decided this is what we wanted to engage with, she worked at another Lightbridge in North Brunswick and Woodbridge for 18 months.” Formerly known as Rainbow Academy before rebranding last $30 Let our expert nails techs recover your damaged & problem nails 6 different brands of pure color gel, UV gel, pink & white, nail art, & expert massage pedicure by Vincent Xu 25% Off any waxing service Gift Certificates Schedule your waxing with our master waxing specialist M-F 9-7:30 • Sat 9-6 • Starting June: Sundays 9:30-5:30 64 Princeton-Hightstown Rd. • Princeton Junction, NJ 08550 609-716-8881 October, Lightbridge is a family business operating since 1997 that started franchising in 2011. The Parikhs liked the company’s approach to early childhood education: a combination of old fashioned curriculum-based teaching supplemented with technology. In addition there is a “circle of care” method that opens communication between family, children, and staff. For example, teachers have tablets from which parents can monitor children and stay in touch from work. Why Plainsboro? ‘A lot of the technology savvy, high-income, young families, a lot of community activities,’ says Ketul Parikh. ‘It’s a family and education valued town.’ When deciding where to open, the Parikhs were attracted by the young families in Plainsboro who value education. “A lot of the technology savvy, high-income, young families, a lot of community activities in Plainsboro. It’s a family and education valued town with a lot of community involvement,” Ketul says. “All Complimentary Initial Exam University of Pennsylvania Graduates & Faculty Shalin R.

Huth has previously taught at Montessori schools and the Huntington Learning Center, and she has served as center director at the Lower Bucks County YMCA. Krupa will oversee the day-today operations while Ketul will handle back office functions. Ketul runs a management and IT consulting business out of Monroe, and he also owns several technology, medical, retail, and hotel businesses in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Ketul grew up in Vadodara, India, where he attended Maharaja Sayajirao University. His father was a drama professor there and later dean of the performing arts school. His mother was a stage actress. Krupa also attended the same school, studying classical vocal music. After earning a chemistry degree, Ketul enrolled in a second bachelors program at the University of Houston in 1981. A relative in Houston recommended the local university, which charged only $4 per academic credit. “In those days the state was funding education with oil revenues,” Ketul says. “It was a nobrainer as an immigrant.” He paid around $60 in tuition a semester, studying business computer information systems, a new field. The tuition price tripled to $12 a credit when he graduated a few years later. His own education center will feature 10 classrooms, an indoor gym, as well as a 5,500-square-foot outdoor playground. In addition to the ongoing enrollment period, the Parikhs are searching for teachers and staff, perferably individuals from the local area. As for the Plainsoboro Plaza, Onyx Equities is finishing the planned plaza facelift. The facade and parking renovations are due to be completed by the end of the summer.

Particularly meaningful to Green how art knits communities together. “One of the things that has kept me going is that art connects community,” Green says. “It brings together people of diverse backgrounds and economic status, to come together and look and talk about art.” Building community and making art a personal experience were key goals at Grounds For Sculpture. She has served in a variety of Vidya Vakil, M.D., F.A.A.P Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine roles, working as volunteer coordinator, education and volunteer services manager, and development associate. As an arts educator she has taught art to all ages, from children to adults. “I’ve spent time there managing the volunteer program, educational program, plus fundraising and membership,” Green says. “Interacting with people at the park, they are giving their time learning about the artists, and over time you build relationships with people. That’s what really sustains it.” She sees the art center as a bridge between the community and artists. The community has opportunities to learn about art first hand, and artists have a venue to exhibit their work. And in an indication of the WWAC’s recent growth, the executive director position will be full time, which the Council attributes to a matching gift from an anonymous township resident as well as overall community support. “The Arts Council made a professional offer, which I think speaks to the board’s commitment to the organization, moving it forward,” Green says. “It allows me to make the move and offer my experience to the art center.” kick off the summer! famighilty IL FORNO’S n four pizzas + an antipasta salad O N LY $ 4 5 C H O O S E F R O M M A R G H E R I TA , Weekends and evenings available Most insurances accepted CARNE, IL FORNO OR FUNGI FOR A LIMITED TIME D I N E I N O N LY lunch special T U E S D AY- S AT U R D AY T U E S D AY- T H U R S D AY M A R G H E R I TA A N D SMALL BOTTLE OF COKE, DIET COKE OR SPRITE $12 ( E AT I N O N LY ) (609) 799-8822 Call now for your summer camp and sports physicals WEST WINDSOR VILLAGE Additional Services: Travel Vaccines • Ear Piercing (LOCATED BEHIND CVS) 358 PRINCETON HIGHTSTOWN ROAD WEST WINDSOR, NEW JERSEY 08550 CAFE & TRATTORIA HOURS The Office Center 15 666 Plainsboro Road • Bldg 100, Suite 1-H Plainsboro, New Jersey 08536 Office number – (609) 275-0729 • Fax Number- (609) 275-3875 email- [email protected] ILFOR NOWEST WINDSOR.COM MONDAY CLOSED TUESDAY-THURSDAY 11AM-10PM FRIDAY-SATURDAY 11AM-11PM SUNDAY 3PM-9PM LIKE & FOLLOW US 16 THE NEWS JUNE 26, 2015 South Class of 2015 Continued from page 1 Carter, Jennifer Sydney Case, Deirdre Nora Casey, Caroline Victoria Chan, Sharanya Chawa, Andrew Chen, Matthew Chen, Shuning (Rex) Chen, Yu Cheng, Shourie Chetlur, YuCong (Cathy) Chi, Saagar Chitale, Amogh Chitnis, Shivani Chitre, Cheryle Chong, Aashna Chopra, Kevin Jason Chu, Emily Marie Chun, Hwan Chung, Niall A.

N elly Kouzmina, an award winning fiber artist and Plainsboro resident, exhibits a colorful and eclectic collection of handmade felt works in a solo show at the Plainsboro Library Gallery from Saturday, June 27, to Wednesday, July 29. Her one-of-akind wall hangings and wearable art will allow viewers to see the wide range of possibilities of felt making. At the art reception on Sunday, July 12, from 2 to 4 p.m. the artist will talk about her craft, and about the natural elements around us available for use in the dying process. The gallery goer will be treated to a wonderful array of pieces, including wall art, rugs, seamless clothing, accessories such as scarves, hats, and bags, and items for the home — table runners, pillow cases, and a chair throw. All of the items are originally designed with handmade felt, and some are dyed with natural plants, a process referred to as botanical printing or eco-dyeing. Their patterns are created with elements found in nature, such as eucalyptus, acacia, oak, and maple leaves that lend their unique shape as well as their color. Kouzmina, a Russian native, has been a Plainsboro resident for more than 20 years. She has an engineering science background, and is a self taught fiber artist who started exploring the felt making process three years ago. She pursues the craft with a passion under the company name Feltinelli LLC. Kouzmina approaches felt making by applying established techniques as well as creating her own, and she experiments with a wide range of fibers and natural dyes. Felt may be the oldest fabric known to mankind — a process Ifit’simportanttoyouandyourchild,it’simportanttous. that has been practiced for thousands of years — and there are many references to it in ancient writings. Some of the earliest felt remains were found in the frozen tombs of nomadic horsemen in the Siberian Altai Mountains and date to around 700 B.C. These tribes made clothing, saddles, and tents from felt because it was strong and resistant to severe weather. It is not woven and does not require a loom or other equipment for its produc- tion. In recent years felt making is experiencing a revival and developing in new, contemporary forms. The artist has exhibited widely in the tri-state area, including the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, the Raymond James Gallery in Pennsylvania, and LaLa Gallery in SoHo, New York City. She is a regular exhibitor at regional arts festivals, such as the Sugarloaf Craft Festival in Somerset, Communiversity in Princeton, and the New Hope Art Festival — where she received the Best in Show Award last September. She received the Best in Fiber Art Award at the Ellarslie Open in Trenton last year, and also the first place in Fine Crafts at the Highland Park Art Show. She is a member of the International Association of Feltmakers and North East Guild of Feltmakers. Kouzmina works in her home studio, and teaches workshops and classes in Plainsboro, West Windsor Art Council, Artists of Yardley, and Trenton City Museum. The show runs in tandem with the library’s summer program Local Color, during which Kouzmina will be offering a two-part workshop on the felting and natural dying processes.

When we reached a critical mass (almost 30 works) we had the works go on exhibit in New York. It is particularly symbolic to us to have this work go on show now as it was once repressed in Ukraine. And as Ukraine struggles to free itself from inva- sion from Russia, so did the earlier artists of Petrykivka.” The couple met in the late 1980s when they were both independently working as environmental activists on post-Chernobyl issues. “Yuri was the first director of ‘Green World’ (Zeleniy Svit), the first environmental advocacy group allowed by the communist government,” says Pawlenko. “I had co-founded a volunteer advocacy group that was producing materials on post-Chernobyl Ukraine and doing fundraising for Green World. We met in Kyiv, fell in love, and the rest is history. That was 1990: we were great collaborating partners then, and we still are today.” Both Ukrainian, Natalie Pawlenko was born in Newark to Ukrainian Heritage on Display: Yuri Mischenko and Natalie Pawlenko, left, of West Windsor. Above, an example of Petrykvika. parents who fled to the U.S. during World War II. She works for the state Department of Health in the division responsible for emergency preparedness. Yuri Mischenko was born near Kyiv. He is a senior manager with a Canadian bank that has a presence on Wall Street. His daughter, Olia Mishchenko, lives in Toronto and is an artist whose work has been exhibited in Canada and is included in the permanent collections of Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, and the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. “Petrykivka art originated from an ancient decorative painting tradition in central Ukraine, where it began as painting on interior and exterior adobe white-washed walls, ceiling beams, and hearths, as well as decorative painting on furniture, boxes, and wooden kitchenware,” the couple wrote in a press release printed by the Ukrainian Weekly. “Due to the perishability of the medium and the turbulent history of Ukraine, only a few examples of folk decorative painting from central Ukraine predating the 19th century are preserved in Ukrainian museums.” “Petrykivka paintings are characterized by a number of core motifs that reflect the unity between humans and their natural environment, and the cyclical rebirth of life, expressed not only through artistic design but also through the annual need to renew, or refresh, the paintings on the homes’ whitewashed walls.” “Since Ukraine re-established independence in 1991, the popularity of Petrykivka art has experienced something of a renaissance in the country. Painted souvenir items, in particular, have become popular among a broad audience, while the more sophisticated and exclusive maliovky have gained a following among art collectors and researchers.” “More recently, Petrykivka has found additional expression in exterior and interior design, a notable example being St. George wooden church in central Kyiv, painted by the artists Halyna Nazarenko and Iryna Kibets.” “Recently, the artistic beauty and unique-ness of the Petrykivka art style received international recognition. In October 2013, a Petrykivka art exhibit comprising works by renowned Petrykivka masters was held at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.” The exhibition at the Ukrainian Museum in New York will be on view through August. The Ukrainian Museum, 222 East Sixth Street (between Second Avenue and the Bowery), New York City. The 40 works on exhibit feature the paintings of 17 artists, each having a U.S. premiere. 212228-0110; E-mail [email protected], www.ukrainianmuseum.org. Do less. Longer. More Frequently.

The finished artwork should have a dynamism, infused with subtleties, giving the viewer an insight into the artist’s vision. If accepted, the original photograph will also be hung next to the finished Photo-Transformation artwork. The exhibit will be on view from Monday, September 14, to Saturday, November 7; with an opening reception and artist talk on Sunday, September 20, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit www.westwindsorartscenter.org for information.

The co-sponsors of Reel Impact, a juried competition for local budding filmmakers and naturalists, are asking participants to consider the theme “From Turnpikes to Terns and Pikes: The Real Nature of New Jersey,” and to focus in on the natural treasures of New Jersey in short movies of five minutes or less. Film entries should use the beauty of New Jersey’s coast, forests, rivers, and open spaces — and their importance to people and wildlife — to dispel negative stereotypes of the state. Creativity, humor, and unusual approaches to filmmaking, editing, and storytelling are encouraged. Films are limited to five minutes in length, and may be in any genre or mix of genres including, but not limited to, action, animation, comedy, documentary, drama, music video, personal narrative, or public service announcement. A cash prize of $1,000 will be awarded to the first-place winner, and the film will be shown at the 2016 Princeton Environmental Film Festival and other events hosted by the co-sponsors. There is no fee to enter. The deadline to enter the competition is Tuesday, September 1. All entries must be submitted by providing a link to view the film online on Vimeo or YouTube.

If you had lived in Princeton then for a short time, chances were you had never heard of a place called West Windsor. There was Princeton Junction, of course, and places called Penns Neck and Dutch Neck, and — maybe — Edinburgh. But that was it for places to the east of Princeton. In fact, there was even uncertainty as to what direction you were going if you went to Princeton Junction or to Route 1. Today, Route 1 is carefully labeled as going north and south. Then, however, there were many who thought of it as going east and west. If you went to New York from Princeton, you went east. After all, everyone knew New York was east of Philadelphia. But, directions aside, what was really out there toward Route 1 and Princeton Junction? Most people would have said, “farms.” There were still quite a few in Princeton Township then, as well as in the surrounding area in all directions. Except for Trenton, and the boroughs of Princeton, Hopewell, Hightstown, and Pennington, most of Mercer County was farmland. And this was long before there was any talk of “preserving” it, since the question of “developing” it had not yet become an issue. There were farms where the fields were and there were towns where the houses were. Naturally, each farm had a “farmhouse” where the farmer and his family lived. In this area, at least, the post-war building “boom” had barely begun. The first housing development we became aware of was Colonial Park. This was a bunch of new houses on Penn Lyle Road a bit east of Clarksville Road. The first new street there was Canoe Brook Drive, and the last was Colonial Avenue. They were connected by Princeton Place and Nassau Place, JULY 2 Continued from preceding page Lectures Physics of Photography Smorgasbord, Princeton Photography Club, Johnson Education Center, D&R Greenway Land Trust, 1 Preservation Place, Princeton, 732-422-3676. “Physics of Photography Level 1,” a preview of a new workshop series presented by David Ackerman.

Since we had just moved into our new house, we needed a new lamp for a wall location in our dining room, and we found just what we needed right there in Penns Neck. The lamp still hangs where we put it 50 years ago. Just a few years after we bought it, the shop moved from Penns Neck to Lambertville. A most interesting part of West Windsor to us in those days was the land between Route 1 and Lake Carnegie, from Alexander Road to Harrison Street. After a while, we came to realize that most of it belonged to Princeton University. Exceptions were the Penns Neck school at Alexander Road and the businesses on Route 1. As time went on, we learned more about all that land and what it was used for. Especially when our first two children attended the Penns Neck School, we came to know some of the other parents and learned a lot more about the area because of where they lived. One family we got to know lived on Logan Drive, a small L-shaped road that connected lower Harrison Street with Route 1. Rick, one of their sons, was a classmate of our son. On frequent social visits with them we learned a lot about the area where they lived since Rick’s mother was the daughter of a former attorney for Princeton University. That’s how we learned that the university actually owned the houses on Logan Drive. It was also through her that we became aware of the annual Princeton Hospital Fete, which was held each spring on another part of the same university-owned land between Route 1 and the lake. There will be much more to say about the hospital fete, as well as some of the other people from that area who we got to know. For now, I will say that one of the neighbors in that area was a pioneering female airplane pilot. I knew her husband, who worked in research administration at Princeton University. They had some exciting flying stories to tell. On the other side of Washington Road, there are the stories of dredging Lake Carnegie and the governor’s helipad. A lot of interesting stuff has happened in West Windsor that has nothing to do with building new houses.

Eventually it became about double that size after Quaker Road, University Way, and Jeffrey Lane were added. The notable thing about the new houses in Colonial Park was that some of them were of the new “split-level” design, meaning that a portion of the floor plan was single story with an adjoining portion having two stories, with the floor of the single-story portion part-way between the floors of the other portion. About that time we also learned that a new development of about 20 houses had been built on Alexander Road between Route 1 and the D&R Canal. It was called Glen Acres and was unique for being the first racially integrated development in the area. Little by little the landscape of West Windsor began to change as some farmers chose to retire and sell their land to developers who saw great promise in the real estate future of this area — not just in West Windsor, but in the rest of this part of central New Jersey, as well. Houses began going up near Edinburgh, Dutch Neck, and along the east side of Washington Road, as a sort of extension of Penns Neck and Fisher Place. The houses associated with Wallingford Drive on the other side of Washington Road came much later. In our own Grovers Mill area, new houses started to appear on the “farm next door” in the late 1960s — some of them on Cranbury Road. Steele Drive was the first new road to be built in that area. With all the new housing there also came the businesses the new Friday July 3 On Stage Pygmalion, Princeton Summer Theater, Hamilton Murray Theater, Princeton University, 609258-7062. www.princetonsummertheater.org.

When we arrived in 1957 almost everyone shopped in Princeton. If you lived in parts of the township closer to Hightstown or Hamilton, you went there, but the shopping was usually better in Princeton. By 1962 there was a new shopping center there on Harrison Street that included an A&P and an Acme, as well as restaurants and other stores, including a Bambergers department store. After Sears opened a store in Trenton in the early ‘60s, you might even go there, although it was hard to get there before they Little by little the landscape of West Windsor began to change as some farmers chose to retire and sell their land to developers who saw great promise in the real estate future of this area. built the Trenton “bypass.” (That didn’t actually bypass Trenton, but just the road blockages you had to go around to get there. But also about that time a new highway bridge was built across the Delaware River that carried Route 1, so it became much easier to bypass Trenton completely if you wanted to.) During our first few years in West Windsor, there were very few options for food shopping except to go to Princeton. There were “general” stores in Dutch Neck and Edinburgh, but you couldn’t do a “complete” shopping at either one.

Other important and long-lived businesses in West Windsor then included the lumber yard Conover and Emmons, on Hightstown Road where the PNC Bank is today, and Schaefer’s service station across the road near where the Rite Aid is. Schaefer’s was not only a gas station but also a sort of small general store. You could buy newspapers, magazines, comic books, milk, sodas, and penny candy there. It sold Tydol gasoline when we first came here. As far as milk was concerned, we had it delivered each day by Borden’s, whose driver left it in an insulated box by our front door. Eggs we bought from Mr. Anderson on Cranbury Road. Surprisingly, there were several businesses on Route 1 near the Penns Neck traffic circle, in addition, that is to the four gas stations there — one on each “corner.” There was also an official office of the New Jersey State Police. It wasn’t a barracks as there is now up the road a way in Plainsboro, but just an office where troopers could keep patrol cars and take care of police business.
