he wedding date was set and
the invitations mailed out for
a destination wedding in
West Windsor. Jeff Hamer and Judy Goetz were hosting their niece’s
wedding ceremony in the spacious
backyard of their South Post Road
residence. The niece and her entourage would be flying up from Texas
for the July 18 wedding.
Goetz had it all planned out, until she was out riding her bike and a
neighbor asked if she had seen the
Mercer County Park concert schedule. Also in town on the evening of
July 18: pop rock band R5, due to
perform at Festival Grounds, the
new entertainment venue opening
this summer. Festival Grounds features a 200,000-square-foot amphitheater with a 2,200-squarefoot, state-of-the-art stage), situated roughly a quarter mile away
from the South Post Road houses.
Wary of a potential schedule
conflict, Goetz attended the January 28 Mercer County Park Commission meeting to ask if any major
events were scheduled for July 18.
In an E-mail follow-up a couple
of days later, recreation director
Jim Haggerty told Goetz there
would be a triathlon event in the
morning, but no afternoon event
scheduled for July 18.
Assured that the park’s entertainment venue would be quiet that
day, Goetz went ahead planning for
the wedding ceremony in her backyard, before discovering months
later a pop-rock concert was scheduled at 6 p.m. on the same day.
“By accident I find out there’s a
concert. This is what it’s like to live
CULINARY ADVENTURES
in my house,” Goetz says. “I had to
call my niece and say ‘I’m sorry
you can’t have the wedding with a
big concert across the street.’”
When Goetz’s calls to the parks
commission went unreturned, she
and Hamer went before the Mercer
County Freeholders at their April
21 meeting in Trenton to present
their story.
“The freeholders seemed pretty
responsive,” Goetz says. “They did

he WW-P Board of Education
approved
its
$192,358,164 budget by a
8-1 vote on April 28 at a meeting
highlighted by the presence of
more than two dozen students
voicing support for High School
North art teacher Nishan Patel,
whose contract was not renewed.
As in years past, board member
Scott Powell was the dissenting
budget vote. The total combined
tax levy will be $151.94 million, a
2.3 percent inrease from last year
(The News, April 3, 2015).
The board also introduced several new policies as well as a new
principal for High School North.
The board unanimously approved the appointment of Jonathan Dauber, right, to replace longtime principal Michael Zapicchi,
who announced his retirement earlier this year. Dauber, who will officially start with the district on
July 1, is currently the principal of
Lawrence High School.
Dauber, a 1994 alumnus of the
University of Connecticut, served
as an investigator for the Mercer
County Sheriff’s Department for
four years before becoming a so-
cial studies teacher in Trenton and
Ewing. He earned master’s degrees
from Rider in 2001 and 2004 and a
doctorate from Rutgers in 2013.
He joined the Lawrence district
in 2005 as assistant principal at the
high school and then served as
principal of Lawrence Intermediate School before returning to the
high school as principal in 2011.
Support for an outgoing faculty
member extended the public commenting period to more than an
hour, as dozens of students and a
few parents urged the board to re-

stablished restaurant critics (myself
included) had better watch their
backs: Mr. Pinner’s second grade
class at Wicoff Elementary is hot on their
heels with the publication of their Best
Plainsboro Dining Guide, a 75-page compendium of where to dine in the area, complete with photos and star ratings. “I’ve been
assigning this project, part of a unit on persuasive writing, for six years now, so this is
the sixth incarnation,” says Gerald Pinner,
who came to the school in 2009. “It was a
sort of loose, disorganized option in the unit.
I thought it was a great opportunity for the
kids to take ownership of it. It’s kids influencing kids, sharing the experience with
their parents, and getting out into the community.”
For each of the 21 entries, ranging from
Aljon’s to TGI Friday’s, students not only
provide the particulars on the name of the
restaurant, when they visited, who they
dined with, and what they had to eat, but also
make sure to include notes about decor
(“The seating was uncomfortable. The chair
had no cushions”), ambiance (“It is a quiet
place with good music”), service (“They
said ‘welcome.’ They answered my dad’s
question.”), housekeeping (“The restaurant
is clean but the toilet is old and ugly”), location (“It was very near to my house”), and
cost (“They give discounts on cash payments”).
Pinner says that the assignment is a favorite with parents as well as students. “Of
course, we have to take into account individual parents’ desire to be part of this, and
their economic situation,” he concedes. He
ensures that everyone gets to participate by
reminding students that the Wicoff school

est Windsor Township Senior Citizens have compiled and published a multi-cultural cookbook.
“Our Favorites” will be released on the
town’s senior day activities on Friday, May
15. The event is free with a reservation.
Books will be available for a $5 donation to
benefit the Friends of West Windsor Senior
Citizens Enhancement Fund for the senior
center.
It all began with one recipe. When Sharon
Saluja brought a recipe to the senior center
in 2012, everyone wanted a copy. According to cookbook committee members, the
idea for a collaborative cookbook started to
germinate on that day. A skit was created and
performed to interest center members to volunteer recipes or work on the committee.
The nine members of the committee are
all active in the center and retired from their
professions. They include:
Barbara Aronson, born in Paterson,
moved from East Windsor to West Windsor
in 2001. She was an office manager for a pediatric dental practice. She volunteers at
University Medical Center of Princeton at
Plainsboro, Village Grande, and with Hadassah.
Shantha Ayer, born in Bombay, India,
moved to the U.K. in 1972 and to West
Windsor in 1997. She was an ESL coordinator for 20 years in England.
Lakshmi Balachandran, born in India,
moved from Canada to West Windsor in
1997. She was a software tester. She was active with the Girl Guides in Canada.

n Friday, May 1, at 7 p.m. the
Cranbury-Plainsboro Little
League will be hosting the first Friday Night Lights of the season. The
CPLL Friday Night Lights is an
event held every baseball season as
an opportunity for Little League
teams to play baseball under the
lights. There are announcers and
special events in between innings,
and it’s a great night to reconnect
with old Little League friends.
The May 1 event will feature
Little League majors teams the Z
Enterprise Phillies managed by
Ray Cella versus the Howard
Spielman Family Dentistry Mets
managed by Andrew Liggio.
There will be an additional Friday Night Lights on May 15. More
information can be found at the
CPLL web site at cpll.org.
I always look forward to these
events as an opportunity to re-connect with the local baseball community. Ray Cella will often reach
out to old teammates he used to
coach who are now in high school
and invite them to the event to help
coach his team. My son T.J. is a senior at North, and this will likely be
the last time he will be in the area
for a Little League reunion before
he heads off to college. It’s always
fun to see how big he’s grown when
he stands next to the 10-12-yearold Little Leaguers and waves them
on to take second base on a grounder through the gap.
Last year I believe all of the Friday Night Lights events were
rained out. As this letter is being
edited, the forecast calls for a
cloudy day and a small chance of
rain on May 1. Let’s all hope that
the weather cooperates because I
sure would like to say hello again to
some old Little League friends.

“Parents who host lose the

Absolutely out of line with what
the taxpayers fund our educators’
salaries for — to provide our children with academic educational
skills such as reading, writing, and
arithmetic — not to mention history, science, and a solid understanding of our political system.
I don’t know how other parents
in West Windsor feel, but I can
guarantee you I don’t require or request any parenting for my child
and I certainly don’t need the government-run school system to act
as my parents and try to educate me
on subjects they have no business
getting involved in.
Therefore, I find the schools’ attempt to curb drunken-driving, accidents, and other undesirable social behaviors inappropriate, rude,
and totally unacceptable.
They need to remove the car and

for sticking our nose where it

On Education: Opting Out in a Bigger Way
S
by Joel Hammon education that works best for their chil-
chools throughout New Jersey are
gearing up to give another round of
the PARCC. Families are rightly
opting out of these tests. Tests measure a
very narrow range of skills and abilities
— they can’t possibly measure what we
value most in young people: creativity,
inspiration, kindness, curiosity, collaboration. In fact, the focus on standards and
testing can actually undermine these
things. Tests and test prep can squeeze out
of schools the most important parts of
learning.
Some parents, however, feel that the
problem goes deeper than just the tests.
One way to look at the PARCC and other
standardized tests is that they are just the
most visible and controversial part of the
traditional public and private school system that has increasingly moved away
from focusing on the needs and interests
of young people and relies more and
more on state standards and rigid requirements.
Some parents have come to feel that
the entire system and philosophy of traditional schooling is not a good fit for their
child. They know that learning should not
be based on a set of state or district standards, but rather on the interests, abilities
and goals of children and their families.
Because of this, some families are opting out of the school system in a bigger
way.
What does this entail? The most widely
recognized and efficient way to opt out of
the school system in the United States is
called homeschooling. Although the
name brings to mind images of doing
school at home with parents as teachers,
homeschooling can involve a wide array
of learning opportunities and channels.
Homeschooling is simply the legal mechanism — like the opt-out forms for the
tests — that gives families the freedom
and flexibility to create the kind of life and
dren.
The main advantage of homeschooling
is that the family has full control over
what, when, and how learning happens.
Take, for example, a middle schooler who
has a serious interest in computers, programming, and gaming. I know from
first-hand experience that it is very hard
for a school to feed an interest like this in
any serious way. There might be some
computer use in various classes. Maybe
there is a computer elective that meets every other day or once a week for 45 minutes. Maybe there is an after-school club
of some kind.
All of these are all fringe activities. The
main experiences of this computer-minded middle schooler would be activities
Some parents have come to
feel that the entire system
and philosophy of traditional
schooling is not a good fit for
their child. They know that
learning should not be based
on a set of state or district
standards.
that are irrelevant to their big interests.
Add in hours of homework a night, leaving only scraps of time and energy to pursue their passions, and this child may find
their life deeply frustrating.
What if this young person’s family opted them out of the traditional school system? Instead of computers being a peripheral part of this child’s education, they
could be the central focus and the anchor
for all sorts of other kinds of learning.
Once you step out of the traditional
system, there are so many amazing resources available to families. A child passionate about computers may learn pro-
gramming on sites like Code Academy,
explore work and career options with a
local programmer, and design and build
their own computers. They could volunteer or intern at a local computer repair
store or software company, use free online
software to start designing and building
their own games, or get involved at the
NYU Game Center, which holds a variety
of public events.
All of a sudden this child — who may
have viewed school as boring or just
something to get through — is excited
about life and learning again. They are engaged in the things that speak most to
them and see a direct connection with
what they want in their life and the way
they spend the majority of their time.
That’s what opting out can look like.
I work at Princeton Learning Cooperative. We support families and teens to opt
out of school to create the kind of life they
want for themselves. We mostly work
with families coming from traditional
public and private schools, families who
had never considered homeschooling as
an option before. We offer various supports to make opting out of school a practical reality: a small and caring community of adults and other teens, classes, tutoring, mentoring, trips, help finding intern and volunteer opportunities and help
with college admissions.
If your dissatisfaction with standardized education goes beyond just the tests
and you are interested in exploring opting
out in a bigger way — either as an independent homeschooling family or as a
Princeton Learning Cooperative family
— we’re happy to help you get started,
whatever the right path is for you.

schooling, consult the New Jersey Homeschool Association at http://jerseyhomeschool.net. For more information on the

to wit: township engineering and finance, outsourced landscape architect and full-time recreation director. Whenever real information is needed, the township contracts with consultants and
no-bid professional service contracts. However, if
external consultants are doing the work, why do we
pay twice for township staffers?
For example, if the township/mayor’s address is
claiming: “A complete reconstruction of the Big
Bear Brook Bridge along Princeton-Hightstown
Road and the Assunpink Creek Bridge along Old
Trenton Road,” why would something as simple as
doing the site work for the Cranbury Road and
Washington Road sidewalks have to be put out to
bid? Surely that $200,000 heavy construction payloader could do the sidewalks along Washington
Road in a weekend. Everyone laughs when I offer
to borrow this machine for a weekend to complete
what the mayor is not present to hear. Why cannot
Department of Public Works personnel accomplish
more than simply capturing leaves and twigs and
enjoy a lifetime subscription to the East Windsor
Deli?
As long as I remain a township taxpayer, I believe we should hold our compensated officials accountable. For the directly elected, fully accountable mayor not to be present when township business is being conducted is an abomination. No
other township would permit this. This remains
taxation without representation.
Since when does a township and mayor consistently claim responsibility for the work of others?
For Mayor Hsueh, this has been his hallmark!
Hsueh has nothing to do with the Marketfair upgrades nor the NRG headquarters. But he WAS responsible for the $500,000 destruction of the Grover Farmstead without explanation and the absence
of the Millstone River Stormwater Management

outhouse or the Schenck catering
operations. The mayor is responsible for runaway legal expenses
with litigious counsel. He is ultimately responsible for the deplorable condition of our township’s
trees (Tree City, USA?) and roadways due to his failed supervision.
Township employees are still using
township vehicles as commuter vehicles yet he is building bicycle
paths to nowhere. For most, a
township employee’s job begins
and ends within the township.
As my friend Benjamin Franklin states, “What the large print
giveth, the small print taketh
away.” For the mayor’s “I think, I
feel, I believe” State of West Windsor Township Address, there is
much more information being buried.
When the president makes his
State of the Union speech, it is followed by another perspective to
provide balance to the plethora of
superlatives. As such, it would be
equally important to know what
the mayor, as the township representative, is doing to provide input
to our onerous county and unbridled school taxes, especially since
he does not have the time to attend
twice-monthly Council meetings.

case, each man, each confrontation, is different, but the one common denominator is color. There’s
also the brutal reality that it is 2015,
and yet, these stories of violence
and unrest could have come straight
out of the tempestuous 1960s, and
even the violent post Civil War period when black-white relations
were turned upside down and a new
page had been turned.
Katie was sad to see Baltimore
broadcast to the world in such a
negative light. She spent four happy years there in college and grew
to love the city with its distinctive
personality, and all of its diverse
nooks and crannies and people.
The Inner Harbor, Camden Yards,
Mount Vernon, Fells Point, Canton, Federal Hill; these are just
some of the neighborhoods that I
had grown to love as well, and it
was no saint, but he did not deserve
to die as he did.
As for the rioters: destroying
your hometown, torching a long
wished for and badly needed senior
center, burning and looting a neighborhood pharmacy, attacking innocent bystanders, and law enforcement — this is no way to further
your cause or win people to it.
There has been much made of
the mother who — catching her
high school son in a ski mask and
part of the riots — beat him in front
of the television cameras. While I
don’t agree with the violence of her
attack on her own kid (I don’t believe in corporal punishment, and I
do believe that violence only begets more violence), I do understand the emotions behind her actions: angry, sad, and frightened
that my son could become another
Freddie Gray. I also agree with the
pundits who are calling for more
parents to take control of their kids.
On the floor of the convention
I’m attending this week, all of the
television monitors were turned to
the Baltimore riots, and all eyes remained glued to the unfolding chaos, even as the death toll from the
earthquake in Nepal continued to
climb into the thousands.
Given the death and destruction
that Mother Nature can wreak, given the horror that can rain down
upon us from terrorist groups that
don’t know us but hate us, given the
unpredictability of life and death
on any given day, would it be really
so difficult to see each other, accept, and even love, beyond the
prism of color?
Sadly, as the lessons of Baltimore, Ferguson, and North
Charleston have taught us, the answer is yes, it is too difficult. Apparently, we cannot accept and love
with a colorblind outlook. Not even
in 2015, with a black president and
newly sworn in black, female attorney general of the United States.
And, as history has shown us, not
likely in 10, 20, or 30 years either,
since human DNA seems incapable
of remembering social progress
and passing it along to the next generation.

ateline: The Big Easy, New
Orleans, Louisiana. As I sit
here in my hotel room on
my fourth night away from home, I
am marveling at how easy it’s been
to be away in the Big Easy — a
sharp contrast to days not so long
ago when leaving three kids, two
dogs, and one husband at home required much planning and delegation of duties.
This time Katie went from big
sister to substitute suburban mom
quite nicely. It helps that her brother is now 16 and needs not so much
mothering as driving and feeding.
He knows where he has to be and
when and has plenty of input and
independence in his day-to-day
management, so the burden of
business travel for this suburban
mom is much lighter than it used to
be.
Yes, children grow up; routines
and responsibilities are accepted
and completed; families learn,
change, and evolve with time.
Progress is made to a higher plane
of organization and existence. Of
course, it is only right that this happens; this should be the expected
course of events, and for that I am
grateful.
If only race relations and human
progress could have that same evolutionary pattern. If only time,
knowledge, and experience could
elevate everyone to an advanced
level of behavior, where kindness,
understanding, and acceptance
could rise, even just a tiny notch,
with time and each succeeding generation.
But if anything can be observed
from the burning of Baltimore this
week, it is that human development
is not so upwardly linear, that for
every step taken forward, it seems
that we take another step or two
back, or at the very best, move sideways.

close examination, the slot was a
faded No. 489. At 5:15 that morning in the rain and darkness, the 9
looked like an 8, I guess. Or maybe
I hit an 8 instead of a 9 on the kiosk
buttons. I can’t remember, but the
fine is a hefty one $60! Surely, I
thought, I can show them my receipt (which I “Retained as Proof
of Payment”) and explain what
happened that morning — an honest and reasonable human error.
The next morning I phoned the
West Windsor Parking Authority to
explain my silly mistake. The nice
woman says there is nothing she
can do but that I can go to court and
plead my case.
Hmmm, I said, really? After 20
years of parking at the station (a
quick calculation represents nearly
$25,000 in parking slot fee revenue
to the Township from me alone!), I
need to take a day from work and
plead my case — to the West Windsor Municipal Court — on a $5
parking space that I can prove I
paid for? Really?
I requested to speak to the officer who gave me the ticket and
plead my case to him instead —
which I did. Similar response.
There is nothing I can do. In fact, he
said, off the record, “you should
just plead guilty and pay the $60
because no one has ever won a case
and they will just charge you court
fees!” Thanks for the advice, I said.
So, my advice to my commuting
friends — make no mistake when
entering your parking space number each day, and there is no need to
retain your proof of payment receipt — no one wants to see it. Perhaps my recent experience is the
result of a $70,000 operating loss
last year by the WWPA. Maybe the
new daily parking kiosks being installed next month will give the
Parking Authority a needed perspective on human ethics. But at
the end of the day, it is just plain
frustrating to feel helpless.
It is said that the municipal court
system can have a great influence
over how the public perceives the
justice system as a whole, and now
I have but a small taste of how the
West Windsor court system has influenced my perspective.
But don’t get me started on the
ticket I received last winter from a
tailgating officer in an unmarked

Sylvan’s STEM
Event a Success
O
n April 17 my mother opened
WW-P News (since she still
resides in Plainsboro) and found
the article you wrote about me and
our work at Sylvan. I can’t begin to
tell you how awesome it was to
read such a wonderful piece. Plus,
my family is so proud!
In large part to this article, our
free STEM community event was a
big success. Our center was hustling for two hours straight. 16 families came, and the kids experienced Lego Robotics where they
programmed their finished product
to follow commands. In the Computer Coding demo, kids also experienced the beginnings of how to
program characters to walk, run,
jump & follow other commands directed by the user.
We also taught the students
STEM related vocabulary words
and conducted a Q&A session
where they won sunglasses, Frisbee flyers, etc. Many parents participated and also went out of their
way to explain how impressed they
were with our center, staff and offerings. Plus, the kids had a blast!
Hopefully our brand new class
offerings will fill up soon. Thank
you for your continued support!

grade students, ranked as Wolf and
Bear Cubs, respectively, work with
their families and their dens. Students in fourth and fifth grades are
ranked as Webelos, who prepare to
become Boy Scouts through a more
challenging program.
The new scouts recently participated in a service event with other
Cub Scouts in Pack 759 to make

Film
S
haina Watrous, a 2009 graduate of High School South and a
2014 graduate of Princeton University, co-directed “Specks of
Dust,” a documentary film that follows the fight against human trafficking in Varanasi, India. The film
follows the lives of the extraordinary individuals who have dedicated their lives to helping others
find justice.
The film was screened April 23
at the Princeton University Art Museum. On April 25 at the Lewis
Center for the Arts there was also a
discussion on the themes of human
rights, advocacy, and humility with
the filmmakers as well as the three
main characters of the film, Ajeet
Singh, Santwana Manju, and
their daughter, Barish.
After high school Watrous lived
and worked for nine months as part
of Princeton’s Bridge Year Program. “It changed everything,” she
said of her experience. “India is
part of my world now. I can’t abandon it.” Watrous deferred her enrollment to Princeton for a year to
engage in public service.
She wrote grant applications,
planned curriculum for students,
and learned life lessons. She has
studied filmmaking under the guidance of documentarian Emily Abt.
Her past work includes short documentary “Lost Boy,” which followed a young man struggling with
post-prison re-entry issues.
Watrous graduated from Princeton University in 2014 with a degree in public policy from the
Woodrow Wilson School. She is a
regional field manager in Washington, D.C., with the Petey Greene
Program, an organization that recruits, trains, and coordinates volunteer tutors to support the academic endeavors of incarcerated people.

consider the superintendent’s nonrenewal of Patel’s contract for next
year. A nontenured teacher, the
popular Patel has taught in the district since 2012.
“The students were very articulate and respectful,” says board
president Tony Fleres. “A lot of
students talked about how highly
they thought of the teacher.”
According to Fleres, confidentiality laws prevented the board from
publicly discussing the reasoning
behind Patel’s non-renewal. Every
year the superintendent presents a
list of district staff whose contracts
will be renewed, and next year’s
renewed personnel will go before
the board at the Tuesday, May 12,
meeting.
While the board can object to
contracts on the renewal list provided by the superintendent, the
board cannot add names. However,
in what is known as a Donaldson
hearing, a teacher whose contract is
not being renewed can request a
hearing before the board, in public
or closed session, to convince the
board to offer reemployment.
Any action by the board in support of a teacher’s renewal requires
five votes. A board member since
2006, Fleres says he can recall a
few cases in the past when staff
members have initiated hearings,
though none ultimately received
the required board support.

West Windsor: Acquisitions, Improvements Planned, With One Conspicuous Absence
R
by Vincent Xu
esidents seemed excited
about the proposal to overhaul Canal Pointe Boulevard but concerned about the anticipated traffic impact of future
commercial development during
the public presentation April 21 at
the municipal complex.
Canal Point Boulevard is currently a four-lane roadway with
two 11-feet lanes each way. The
proposal recommends lane reductions in which there would be one
10-feet travel lane and one six-feet
bicycle lane each way. In addition,
the center of the road would be a
12-feet wide left turn lane or painted median.
Traffic engineer Dean Kaiser of
the Burns Group, which prepared
the report, explained the recommended road configurations represent a compromise for residents
and commuters sharing the road.
“One of the interesting features
of Canal Pointe is one side of the
road is all office, the other side is all
residential,” Kaiser said. “Residents have to contend with the office folks who come in the morning
and leave in the afternoon.”
The proposal also recommends
narrowing the two remaining car
lanes to 10 feet. Both changes are
designed to reduce speeds, which
may also discourage motorists who
use the road as a cut-through alternative to Route 1 south.
A dedicated turn lane at intersections is meant to reduce accidents,
removing a vehicle from traffic and
improving sight lines for motorists
behind a turning vehicle.
Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh was also in attendance. He says the report
is consistent with the master plan.
“In 2001 the township set up a
task force that became the West
Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian
Alliance (WWBPA). The master
plan was approved in 2005. If we
have clear support from Council,
we want to move forward.”
The highest volume of rush hour
traffic occurs at the Alexander
Road, Carnegie Center Boulevard,
and Meadow Road intersections,
numbering at two to three thousand
vehicles. The anticipated development of up to 1 million square feet
of office space at Carnegie Center
West, the site of the new NRG
headquarters, and Princeton Overlook is expected to add 1,700 rush
hour trips. In addition, Princeton
Theological Seminary intends to
develop an apartment complex
with up to 400 units on Wheeler
Way, an extension of Canal Pointe
Boulevard.
Residents of the Canal Pointe
residential development voiced
support for the “road diet,” as the
proposal is called.
“It’s a terrific idea. If the road is
slower, it will take people back onto Route 1,” says Ted Strempack,
vice president of the neighborhood
board. “The consensus of the board
endorses the project, though not
every member does.”
Fellow board member David
Hingston expressed delight with
the plan, but he also voiced concern
over the number of existing entrances that bunch opposing turns
too close together.
Two residents of Princeton
Greens, which is the closest neighborhood to Alexander Road, the
busiest intersection, were concerned with whether lane reductions would combine well with increased offices.
Princeton Greens board member
Dan Fabrizio suggested shared bicycle pathways as an alternative
that would preserve the four-lane
road, noting additional lanes each
way make it easier for neighborhood residents to pull out onto the
roadway,
“I don’t think this is going to
work. You’re going to build a million square feet of office space
across the street from everybody.
You’re taking four lanes and narrowing it down to two lanes. It’s
going to add more traffic to Canal
Pointe Boulevard,” says Fabrizio,
who also mentioned that he was a
member of the original traffic task
force. “Why doesn’t the township
not build driveways onto Canal
Pointe? That way it’ll alleviate traf-

fic. I think it should be a four-lane
road. We’re very happy this isn’t a
done deal yet and urge the township to get a true consensus.”
Neighbor Erica Levine was also
concerned about potential traffic
increases.
Patrolman Frank Latorre of the
West Windsor Police Department
weighed in on the issue of emergency management.
“I think the road would benefit
from this improvement, but I think
it’s very important to look at the access for Carnegie Center,” Latorre
says. “Currently, there’s no entrance onto Route 1 South. Between Overlook and Carnegie,
there’s only one entrance. If the
Vidya Vakil, M.D., F.A.A.P
Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine
state can give good access onto
Route 1 and none to Canal Point
Boulevard, that would help.”
Latorre also inquired about the
construction of a traffic signal at
Carnegie Boulevard intersection in
anticipation of increased traffic.
Township engineer Francis
Guznik said that the increased development and traffic is far off.
“It’s not projected to be met for
Carnegie for quite a while,” Guznik
says. “This study was prepared
based on the worst case scenario.”
Aside from worries over future
development, there was the issue of
how buses would navigate a reduced lane roadway.
“If buses are going into the sixfeet bike lane, you’re going to need
widening where the bus stops. You
certainly don’t want a bus stopping
all traffic,” says Alison Miller, a
WWBPA officer. “While you are
talking about widening, is there
any plan to use the bike lane plus a
little widening, for a right turn deceleration lane?”
The township engineering office is accepting comments through
Friday, May 8, and forms are available on the township website.
S
everal improvements were approved by Council at the April
20 meeting, while the status of the
Howard Hughes property remains
unknown.
Open Space Acquisition.
Council introduced two ordinances
relating to the open space acquisition of the 10.4-acre Penn Lyle
Woods parcel on Penn Lyle Road,
near the intersection with Village
Road West. According to land use
manager Sam Surtees, Duck Pond
Run traverses the property, which
is adjacent to two other open space
parcels owned by the township.
The township has applied for Mercer County open space grants,
which are expected to offset the
$455,000 purchase by one half.
The public hearing on the open
space ordinances is on Monday,
May 11.
Duck Pond Run. More trees
will populate the 120-acre Duck
Pond Park after Council approved
the Pat Scanlan firm to plant 350
trees for $86,391. According to
business administrator Marlena
Schmid, the tree plantings are in
accordance with state-mandated
environmental compensation after
mature trees were removed to build
the replacement bridge on Old
Trenton Road. Future park improvements include additional
walking trails, picnic areas, and
playgrounds.
One down, one more to go. After rejecting long time auditor William Antonides Jr., the administration’s choice to conduct the 2014
township audit, Council approved
a $26,900 contract with Warren M.
Korecky of Westfield-based Suplee, Clooney and Company. Antonides previously prepared the
township’s 2014 financial documents, known as supplemental
schedules, which Korecky will review. The reporting deadline is
June 30.
Council rejected the proposals
for a health insurance benefit consultant, and the administration will
issue another request for proposal.
At the January 28 meeting, Council
pulled the agreement with Eric B.

has denied the company’s claim for
an additional payment of $488,973.
No News from Howard
Hughes. All is quiet on the Howard
Hughes front. Township personnel,
Council members, and the Planning Board have not heard from
Howard Hughes Corporation representatives in months.
According to Howard Hughes
spokesperson Caryn Kboudi, project director Chuck McMahon and
senior executive John Simon are no
longer with the company.
Simon has retired, and the company has not announced a new
project director to replace McMahon. The duo had previously been
the contact persons for the 658-acre
site on Clarksville Road, last year
interviewing scores of residents
and local groups as part of a highprofile community input effort.
The last known contact between
the company and the township occurred at the December 8 Council
meeting, when attorney Mark Solomon of Pepper Hamilton LLP
went before Council to reiterate
Howard Hughes’ request for redevelopment designation. The township’s position was to request a
concept plan presentation to the
Planning Board before considering
anything else. Solomon did not return multiple calls for comment.
Before that, Howard Hughes
representatives made a general presentation and unveiled their request
for redevelopment designation at a
packed September 22 Council
meeting. At the next Council meeting October 6, McMahon pushed
for the redevelopment process.

Mercer County Park
for a big event, the parks commission must honor that date.”
Haggerty, whom both Goetz and
Hamer describe as a nice individual, called Goetz the day after the
freeholder meeting to apologize for
the mistake.
“Mr. Haggerty was very apologetic. He claimed to have messed
up. In reality that doesn’t help,”
Hamer says. “We don’t know if
anyone is going to do anything, because it’s the County’s project.
They want to see it succeed.
Whether they care about the residents near the park is up in the air.”
Goetz and neighbor Teresa Lourenco received a chilly response at
the county parks commission meeting April 29.
“I felt we were treated unfairly,”
Goetz says. “I was hoping if one of
the residents had a big event and
cleared it with the commission, we
wouldn’t have a repeat. The commision said it was a mistake, but
they made it very clear that they
would not clear a date for a resident’s event. The commissioners
said over and over again they cannot be concerned with 17 households while also running a park.”
As for her niece’s wedding, the
backyard ceremony will be relocated indoors to the Cranbury Inn,
where the reception had been originally scheduled.
“What happened with the July
18 event was a mistake on our behalf. We made an error and we’ve
apologized for that,” says Kevin
Bannon, the parks commission executive director. “The fact that she
was having that event, it wasn’t put
on the master calendar. We feel
badly about that.”
When asked if there would be
any change in policy, Bannon said
no, reiterating that a mistake was
made.
Says Bannon: “When we had a
chance to grab an international
event, we were really pleased. R5 is
a pop group aimed toward teenagers, and the fact we could grab an
them was a coup for us.”
F
or Hamer, this has been the
most disappointing development following years of increased
park activity.
“The overall picture is the neighborhood has gone down because of
the noise, the lights, and the traf-
fic,” Hamer says. “It was a wonderful street to live on. And then they
started to increase the amount of
events across the street and down
by the marina.”
Hamer, who grew up in Hamilton, moved into his house on South
Post Road more than 20 years ago.
He worked at New Jersey Network
(NJN) as an executive producer
and budget manager for 27 years.
He now runs an accounting service.
At NJN Hamer met Goetz, who
had worked as an administrator
there since high school. She grew
up in Ewing, attending Notre Dame
High School. Her parents owned
and operated Flemington Tire.
Goetz has two adult sons from a
previous marriage, and both live in
Brooklyn. One is a freelance editor,
and the other is a field engineer
who worked on the World Trade
Center PATH station project.
There are 17 households along
South Post Road that face the
park’s entertainment venue on the

acts such as the Bare

ing across the street?
other side of the road. The new performing arts stage and the subsequent concern over more musical
events is the most recent flashpoint
for these residents, who are also located across from sporting fields
with lighting. From their backyards, the residents are also greeted
with a 45-acre solar array built in
2013 on Mercer County Community College land.
“I can hear event noise from inside my house, with the windows
shut,” Hamer says. “A lot of the
neighbors seem to be concerned
with property values. The feeling
is, who wants to live across the
street from this?”
A food truck festival on Saturday, April 18, brought in fleets of
parked cars and one unsavory
guest. A baseball field adjacent to
the Festival Grounds has been removed, and the open space that
backs onto South Post Road was
used for parking.
“We’re sitting on our porch, listening to our music, cars parked
everywhere,” Goetz says. “I look
over to the side and there’s some-

one urinating right in our forsythia
bushes.”
Hamer yelled at the trespasser,
who scampered away. Trash from
the event blew into their yard afterwards, says Goetz, who is concerned with future offenders taking
a quick jump into her bushes.
According to Bannon, the parks
commission executive director,
there is usually enough parking
space behind the Park Ranger
Headquarters. Two other sporting
events on the day of the food truck
festival led to roughly 16,000 attendees, double the expected number. The commission also plans to
build a fence along the South Post
Road field to prevent future parkers from accessing the road.
“We’ve gone back and forth and
made a lot of concessions for the
residents of South Post Road,”
Bannon says. “We don’t allow
parking on their road. We put a park
ranger to stop cars from going
down the road. Whenever we have
a concert, we make sure they don’t
exceed state sound codes. We’ve
tried to work well with them.”
Bannon notes that from April to
October, there are only five additional events for 2015. The new
events, all night concerts, increase
the total number of night concerts
from six in 2014 to 11 this year.
These five events include three national acts under the County’s
agreement with Anschutz Entertainment Group, one of which is
R5, the group performing on the
same day as the wedding. The
Barenaked Ladies performs July 2,
and Lee Brice arrives August 13.
“It takes a while to plan the summer. This is the first time planning
for the three concerts,” Bannon
says. “For some it took up until
April 1. We’ve turned away a lot of
acts. We have a 10:30 p.m. curfew.”
The increasing number of events
confirms concerns that expanded
programming would result after
the park commission replaced a
temporary stage with a larger permanent stage at Festival Grounds.
To some residents, this contradicts
a statement Bannon made at the
January 27 West Windsor Council
meeting, when he stated the park is
not interested in becoming “a major rock concert destination.” (The
News, February 7, 2014
In December, 2012, when Festival Grounds was still in its planning stages, an E-mail written by
Bannon and addressed to Lourenco
noted there are less than five events
per year with music after 9 p.m.
“There are no plans to have more
music events,” Bannon wrote.
In addition to Bannon’s previous
statements, Hamer says Bannon
met with a group of South Post
Road residents last summer to discuss any concerns.
“Mr. Bannon said ‘give us a
chance,’ and now we see what that
means. They can put more things
here, more traffic,” Hamer says. “I
understand the parks commission
has a job to do, but if the people
who are in charge lived here, it’d be
a different story.
Says Hamer, “Every year there
has been an increase in different
kinds of things. All of them have
bands and loud music. Let’s put it
this way, there are not less events
now. I suspect there are going to be
as many as they can put in there.”
Of course, while Hamer and
Goetz begrudge the nuisances that
to them are becoming more constant, the fate of the wedding ceremony is the big upset.
“We never would have gone to
anybody if the venue change didn’t
affect my niece’s wedding,” Hamer
says. “She’s devastated. She’ll
have to learn to live with disappointment. There won’t be a garden
party, as they say.”

Panera, Five Guys Planned for Village Center
S
taying the course was the
message Plainsboro mayor
Peter Cantu delivered to attendees of the networking breakfast held at College Road Eastbased Munich Reinsurance on
April 21. The event was organized
by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce and Plainsboro
Business Partnership (PBP).
“A great asset of Plainsboro is
the outstanding business support
here,” Cantu said.
In addition to maintaining the
township’s financial strength, Cantu reiterated his pride in Plainsboro’s balanced community planning.
New additions to the township
include the planned arrival of Panera Bread and Five Guys at Plainsboro Village Center. The township
is also preparing the installation of
“Welcome to Plainsboro” signage
for motorists.
Cantu listed transportation and
affordable housing as two future
challenges for the township.
“The state really hasn’t addressed the long-term transportation needs,” said Cantu, primarily
referring to traffic congestion on
Route 1. In addition, with the expected elimination of NJ Transit’s
655 bus route between Princeton
and the University Medical Center
at Plainsboro, Cantu said the township is working with Middlesex
County, Princeton, and the hospital
to address mass transit gaps.
Cantu also criticized the state’s
affordable housing dilemma. The
township is working to understand
the requirements that are expected
to be overseen by the judiciary.
Special recognition was given to
township’s recreation department,
and department director Lenny
Celluro, who assumed the position
in 2013, was present to accept the
honor. The department is collaborating with PBP and the Princeton
Chamber to host the Plainsboro
Business Showcase on Tuesday,
June 23.
The 1st Constitution Bank was
awarded the Large Business of the
Year award for its involvement in
the community, including support
for the WW-P Education Foundation and the Plainsboro Library.
The Small Business of the Year
award was given to Crown of India,
which was purchased by the Chrai
family several years ago.
“This restaurant has been part of
Mayor Cantu said long
term challenges include
transportation and af
fordable housing.
Plainsboro for more than 20 years,”
said Brian Chrai. “Our goal is to
continue to be an active member of
the community.”
Plainsboro Update. As mentioned above, new restaurants may
be added to the Plainsboro Village
Center. According to township director of planning and zoning Les
Varga, Sharbell Building Company
submitted a site plan to build a onestory commercial building on a
corner parcel at the Village Center.
A marketing sign currently sits on
the proposed site, which would
have more than 10,000 square feet
of retail space subdivided into four
tenant spaces.
Panera Bread has signed a lease
with Sharbell to anchor the proposed building, while Five Guys
has signed a letter of intent.
The Planning Board reviewed
the concept plan favorably at its
March 16 meeting. Varga says the
site plan is under review and expects a review by the Planning
Board around July.
In other news, the Planning
Board also favorably reviewed an
application for a cemetery at its
April 20 meeting. According to
Varga, the 12-acre Princeton Abbey Cemetery project will be an
extension of the existing cemetery
at the site of the former St. Joseph’s
Seminary off Mapleton Road.
The new project is being developed and operated by CMS MidAtlantic Inc., based in Pittsburgh,
and the site will be open to the public. The township committee will
review the site plan at the May 13
meeting. Committee approval is required, as the township rezoned the
entire 44-acre seminary campus
into an educational and cultural
arts zone and a cemetery zone in
2010.
The Congregation of the Mission of St. Vincent de Paul, known
as the Vincentians, own the remaining 32 acres of the seminary campus, which is managed by New
York-based construction management firm DBI Inc.
The French American School of
Princeton is the master lessee at 75
Mapleton Road. The departure of
the Wilberforce School, alongside
the recent bankruptcy filing by the
American Boychoir School, raises
the prospect of a new school moving in.

For South, Two Tsos Are Better Than One
W
by Samantha Sciarrotta
hen Tom Tso moved to the United
States from China with his family
as a child, he fell in love with
hockey, a sport that was relatively new to
him. He played street hockey recreationally,
but he hoped to have children who loved the
sport as much as he did, enough to take it to
the ice.
He received all that and more with his
twin sons, High School South seniors Patrick and Brian Tso. While working towards
hockey and baseball careers, the two have
played on teams together from the time they
were six, and they have become nearly inseparable.
That will change when they graduate in
June, but for now the boys are enjoying their
final baseball season with the Pirates, who
are currently 8-7 and the defending Mercer
County champions. During the winter, the
South hockey team played to a 14-9-2 record, defeating North twice and advancing
to the MCT quarterfinals.
The transition from hockey to baseball is
demanding, especially due to the change in
pace. Brian said while both sports require
quick reactions and quick thinking, he finds
those things are easier in hockey.
On the other hand, Pat is a pitcher and a
goaltender, two of the most visible positions
in any sport. He loves the scrutiny, though.
“It’s the adrenaline rush,” he said. “All
eyes are on you. You can do big things in the
net. For baseball, I think the best lesson I’ve
learned is that it’s a game of failure. I’ve
failed, my teammates have failed, my coaches have failed, but that’s a natural part of the
game. The beauty is that you can come back
the next inning or the next day and do even
bigger things.”
The brothers were just glad to have someone else to share those experiences with.
“We had a lot of friends who didn’t have
any siblings, but I would always ask Pat to
play hockey, baseball, and basketball,” Brian said. “We both loved sports and it was
At Bachner Field

H
great to always have him there to smile,
laugh, joke around with. I’m going to miss
him next year.”
Pat agreed. Brian is “an awesome kid, and
an awesome athlete on the ice and on the
field. It’s been a true pleasure, especially in
high school. We’ve stuck with each other,
we’ve succeeded and failed together,” he
said.
The first time they played on separate
teams was last summer, when Brian played
travel hockey while Pat opted for baseball.
Pat and Brian began playing baseball together when they were six and started up with
hockey the following year.
“My dad always was a big hockey fan,
and he kind of brought us up, teaching us the
sport,” Pat said. “We took to it right away. It
was the same for baseball. We played in local
leagues and had a passion for both sports.”
Pat said his brother’s best athletic quality
is his ability to lead by example, while Brian
said Pat is a good motivator without being
too harsh or too lighthearted.
What they share, though, is an extremely
close relationship and a happy, positive outlook on life. “Pat always has a smile on his
face,” Brian said. “He’s the funniest person
Brian, left, and Pat Tso.
I’ve ever met. He lifts me up if I’m having a
bad game, and he’s the best teammate I’ve
ever played with.”
The two will part ways next year when Pat
heads to the College of New Jersey, while
Brian will go to the University of Delaware.
Both are enrolled in their schools’ business
schools, and both hope to play club hockey.
There is a chance they could play against
each other for the first time. Brian said that
his parents, Tom, who works for Mondelez
International, and Eileen King, a director at
Pentad, wouldn’t know who to root for.
The pair might not be quite ready to separate, but they are ready to find out what’s
waiting for them after graduation.
“At the hockey banquet, all of the seniors
gave speeches,” Brian said. “I started crying
when I was talking about Patrick. It’s going
to be tough, but it’s not the end. I know that’s
cheesy, but it’s only the beginning. We’re not
too far away. We’re going to stop by and say
hi. We’ll see each other.”

igh School North’s Alex Mitchell
pitched a two-hit shutout. High
School South’s Sean O’Brien nearly
matched him, allowing only a first-inning
run. And in a classic pitchers’ duel, the Northern Knights defeated the crosstown rival Pirates, 1-0, on April 25.
But the pitcher who stole the show was not
even at the game, at least not in person. Prior
to the game, the baseball field at High School
North was officially renamed David J. Bachner Field, in honor of the 2009 North alumnus
and standout pitcher who died of sudden cardiac arrest shortly after graduation.
Bachner’s parents, Rhonda and Steve,
who now live in Florida, as well as friends
and teammates from North’s Class of 2009,
were on hand for the dedication. Former head
coach Bob Boyce, who coached Bachner,
filled in for the day and earned his 200th career win. Current North coach Mike Santoro
was with his wife, who gave birth to twin
girls.
North got all the offense it needed from
Brandon Kocher, who hit a lead-off double
and scored on a single by Andrew Schoenblum. O’Brien allowed a total of seven hits in
his complete game effort. Jake Nieschmidt
and Patrick Tso had the only hits of the day for
the Pirates.

and Rahul Ramanathan.
While wins are expected for the Pirates, ranked
among the top 20 in the state, the win at second doubles was special for Malik. The senior has competed

With 15 farms and 11 artisan
food and natural product vendors,
the market is known for its wide array of locally grown (conventional
and organic) seasonal fruit, vegetables, and mushrooms; pastureraised and produced grass-fed
meats (beef, lamb, pork, poultry,
and yak), dairy (cheese, yogurt),
and farm-fresh eggs. Woven fibers,
breads and baked goods, flowers
and plants, honey, prepared foods,
sauces, jams, pickled vegetables,
wine, and more can be found at the
market each week. WWCFM’s
mission is to connect farmers directly with consumers.
This year’s line up brings two
new vendors: the Feed Truck of
Kingston (www.thefeedtruck.org)

and LiLLiPies of Princeton (www.

baked goods. Jammin’ Crepes and
Tico’s Juice Truck will continue to

Plainsboro Dining
cafeteria is fair game for review,
and even offers to buy them lunch.
“The kids are into it!” he says.
“Some go out there with notepads
and even recording devices – and
they take photos. Active engagement is key.”
To prepare for the fieldwork,
Pinner and the class look at other
reviewers’ work. Together they develop a Power Point presentation
on the key elements that go into a
good dining review. “It was problematic for me to hit the important
components without having the reviews become formulaic,” he says.
“Dining out is not a one-dimensional experience. It’s a sensory
experience on many levels. We
draw out what’s important and enjoyable. They note, for example,
that ambiance is discussed.”
He starts by having them read
the work of young reviewers like
themselves. “I love to start with
young writers – kids who have
turned a hobby into something of a
profession,” he says. Among these
are a 14-year-old online restaurant
critic, the Spaghetti Book Club
(kids reviewing books), and LightsCamera-Jackson.com, on which
Jackson Murphy, a teen, reviews
movies. “Then we shift to restaurants. I bring in my Zagat guide,
and I also share with them the reviews I’ve written on sites like
Yelp! and TripAdvisor.”
Another hurdle in putting together the dining guide is the variation among the second graders’
writing levels. “Some students may
have been in my class for only 90
days, and not speak English,” he
says. “So I stress that this is an independent research project and the
aim is to be the best writer each one
can be.”
Pinner, 37, started with the West
Windsor-Plainsboro district as a
full-year replacement for a seventh-grade social studies teacher,
after which he was offered the permanent position at Wicoff. “Teaching is kind of my second career, or
maybe my first career, interrupted,” he says. He was a reservist in
the Coast Guard when 9/11 happened and he went on active duty.
“Not only did 9/11 interrupt my
schooling, but then I got married
and other things. Eventually I decided to finish my degree. At 30 I
became a teacher for the first time.”
His degree is from Stockton College, in psychology and elementary
education. Pinner lives in Hamilton
with his wife, Andrea, and their
sons Jake, three, and Andrew, who
was born last December.
Future classes can expect to produce additional iterations of the
Best Plainsboro Dining Guide, Pinner promises. “As long as there’s a
persuasive writing unit and the kids
are engaged and the parents enjoy
it. It is one of my favorite assignments.”
Pat Tanner blogs at www.dinewithpat.com. She is a long-time
food writer and restaurant critic
based in central New Jersey. She
currently reviews for New Jersey
Monthly magazine and has served
as the South Jersey editor of the Zagat New Jersey restaurant guide.
The Youthful Critics
Voice Their Opinions
Aljon’s Pizzeria: “They don’t
just serve pizza, but also chicken
wings. I wanted two-mushroom
pizza and one-vegetable pizza.
When we sat down, I could barely
wait. In a few minutes — to me it
felt like a few hours — the pizza
finally comes. I take a bite and it
tastes so good.”
Bordoloi’s Indian Fusion: “It’s
a quiet place with good music. The
host took care of us very well. I ate
a lot of papadams. The best part of
my experience … I enjoyed [being]
with my family and had fun with
my little sister.”
Brother’s Pizza: “The nice
wood chairs felt very comfortable.
When Dad got pizza, I took one bite
and felt the tastiness swish around
in my mouth.”
Chipotle: “The queue was all
the way to the back of the restaurant! One time when I was ordering
our food we got to see the people
and chef cooking food! I give this
restaurant a five-star rating.”
“You can create your own wrap
according to your taste. I had a vegetarian burrito wrap. It was delicious. I liked the cream and the tortilla the most. The restaurant was a
bit loud and crowded, but the place
was neat and clean.”
Cranbury Pizza: “On the pizza
is homemade mozzarella that
makes the pizza really great. They
use fresh ingredients. The best
thing is you can watch them make
your pizza in their huge brick oven.
If the weather is good enough you
can even get to sit outside.”
Crown of India: “If you want to
taste chicken biryani, then go to
Crown of India, which is the best
place for biryani. The seats were
very fluffy. The waiters are respectful. They served everything on
time.”
“Both North and South Indian
food was on the buffet menu. The
quality of food is very good and delicious. I enjoyed paneer with vegetables and Indian bread. I am happy to have a Crown of India in
Plainsboro.”
Indian Hut: “Do you like Indian food? Well if you do, you should
come to Indian Hut. It has hundreds
of varieties of food. There is a big
treasure chest full of gifts. You can
only get a gift from the treasure
chest when you celebrate a birthday. Have fun!”
McDonald’s: “It’s located in the
center of Plainsboro. The food
tastes good: not spicy but juicy. All
the food was under my budget. It
was quite exciting for me because I
had a lot of fun while eating my
food and playing at the same time.”
“The French fries and chicken
nuggets taste really awesome. If
you want a happy family, you have
a Happy Meal.”
Olive Garden: “It’s a kid’s
dream dinner. They have stuff like
pizza, strawberry smoothies, and
even lasagna fritattas, which are all
pretty good if you ask me. There is
also a very nice waiter named Bill
and he is very important for your
meal because he is the one who
gives you all of your food.”
P.F. Chang’s: “The lettuce
wraps were delicious. They had

small chunks of tofu wrapped in
lettuce. The lo mein comes with
meat but you can ask them to make
it vegetarian! I give this place 4 out
of 5 noodles!”
“Would you like to have a
healthy and tasty meal? Try P.F.
Chang’s. Kids and adults can enjoy
the restaurant. The hot and sour
soup is not sour. It is so yummy that
I ate three bowls of it! The soup
costs $8.99.”
RedBerry Frozen Yogurt:
“There are lots of flavors to choose
from. There is vanilla, strawberry,
and chocolate and many more. Also, toppings: rainbow sprinkles,
Oreos, M&Ms, and many more. It
does not cost much money. I give it
five stars.”
“The flavors are sour, sweet, delicious. You get the ice cream by
yourself and it’s like an ice cream
machine. There are tons and tons of
toppings all sorted in neat groups.
It’s really peaceful in there.”
Romeo’s Restaurant: “I ordered chicken and fries. The fries
were good but the chicken tasted
like fish. It was pretty quiet; it was
also comfortable. I give it 4 stars

grade students in Gerald Pinner’s class at
Wicoff School wrote

because the food is great. There are
meats, drinks, soups, and desserts.”
Smashburger: “The best part is
spending time with your family or
friends while eating delicious food.
You can either create your own
burger or order a burger on the
menu.”
Subway: “I liked the [veggie]
sandwich the most because it tasted
so crunchy. My favorite part was
when I said thank you to the waitress, she gave me a free cookie. She
appreciated me and I feel great
when I am nice.”
TGI Friday’s (Hamilton):
“The atmosphere was beautifully
decorated and the booths were
nicely leathered. Server Kim was
really nice. I had pizza. [It] was just
the right size for a kid, and the rich
gooey flavors were so amazingly
good.”

moved to West Windsor in 2000. She
taught second grade in East Brunswick. She is a member of the trip and
social committees at Village Grande.
Bill Anderson, born in Philadelphia, moved to West Windsor in
1991. He is a retired deputy attorney
general with the State of New Jersey.
He is an officer with the Park Two
Homeowner’s Association and the
Philatelic Society that meets at Hamilton Library.
Ted Jung, born in China, was
raised in Canada and moved to West
Windsor in 1982. A registered architect in New York, he was a construction manager. He is very active at the
senior center.
LingLing Fan, born in Taiwan,
moved to West Windsor 30 years ago.
She was the controller for South
Brunswick. Her volunteer activities include
being an AARP tax adviser and on Medicare
patrol. “It feels good when I volunteer,” she
says.
Estelle Meltzer, born in Newark, moved
from Cranford to West Windsor in 2003. She
was a teacher of special education and a
guidance counselor for elementary and middle schools. Her volunteer activities include
Hadassah, Meals on Wheels, Jewish Family
Services, and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
“We did our own editing to keep costs
down,” says Meltzer. “The editing took many hours with the committee meeting three
times a week for close to three years.”
The cookbook is spiced up with drawings
throughout the pages. “We enlisted artists
from the senior center to contribute drawings
for the book, and they responded wonderfully,” says Meltzer. The cover art features a
globe surrounded by hands of many colors
and sizes. Artwork contributors include Mi-
chele Bouchard, Lina Chao, Jody Kendall,
Rita Maniscalchi, Carol T. Schonfeld, Jackie
Wouwenberg, Cynthia Campbell, Judy
Kaye, Kuen Lia, E.A. Peck, and Mary Ann
Weisser. Russ Johnson was the coordinator.
The recipes were edited for space and uniformity of presentation. Recipes were submitted with weights in both pounds and kilos. Brand names were changed to generic
names. Recipes with raw eggs were not used
for health reasons.
“The book is very senior friendly,” say
committee members. Once the book was
complete they shopped around for a cookbook publisher. Each one wanted a different
format and Ling-Ling Fan was responsible
for making the pages fit. The committee used
Jumbo Jack’s Cookbooks in Iowa to print the
book.
The committee realized early on that they
were not familiar with the spices and foods
used to create many of the recipes. There
were many field trips to Indian and Asian
Cookbook Committee: Members include William Andersen, back

stores and restaurants in the area. “Because
of constraints of time and funding, we have
not kitchen-tested these recipes,” say the
committee members.
The books includes abbreviations, equivalent measurements, general food hints, tips
for cooking Indian food, a seasoning guide,
hints for vegetables, dessert hints, substitutions, blank pages for notes, and an extensive
index.
The committee agrees that the project uncovered lots of unusual recipes and forged a
new set of friendships.

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron: Taking a Spin
id you know that May is
National Bike Month in the
United States? Bike riding
isn’t just for exploring your neighborhood or cycling alongside the
canal in Princeton. A bike can be
a means of exploring other parts
of this country or even other
countries.
From Tuscan journeys to
tours of Spain to family getaways to going tropical, bike
trips offer all these options and
many more. These trips are not
just for the experienced bicyclist
but also the novice. The trips are
designed for all levels to enjoy
the trip and experience exploring
new destinations off the beaten
path.
These trips offer the opportunity to experience travel in a
completely different way. Stand
spellbound at the largest Glacier
in Glacier National park after a
spectacular 40-mile bike ride.
Listen to the chatter of monkeys
overhead as you raft down the
river in Costa Rica after biking
through the rain forest. Cycle
in the Waterland nature reserve
and meander through quaint,
historic villages with wooden
houses in the Netherlands as
part of daily excursions on a
River Boat Cruise.
Rather than experiencing the
world by only seeing it, bike trips
let you experience the world with
all of your senses. Get ready for
a total unforgettable experience.
There are so many different
options in the US and abroad. If
this is the type of vacation you
would like to experience, please
contact us and we can put it
together for you.

of nature and the devastating effects of climate collapse,” says
Hoenig. “I depict the symbiotic relationship between habitat, plant,
and animal life, making visible an
evolving landscape of color and
distinct geometric form.”
She worked with a bird bander
in a forest of songbirds and her
paintings explore ecological issues. “I put a face on the beauty of
land and its creatures,” she says. “I
study the shades of color, the living
light linking roots to plants, plankton to sea. I dream inside the things
I make.”
Hoenig received a bachelor’s
degree from Bennington College
and a master’s degree in fine arts
from the University of Iowa. She
has taught art at the Arts Council of
Princeton and exhibited at Princeton Public Library.

Our unique math foundations course –
elementary through middle school. High school
math readiness course for Grade 7 & Grade 8.
Integrated math & computing with Java
programming for middle school students
SAT math
A&E math
Success delivered: Many of our students made
120+ points jump on SAT math in the most
recent tests. 80% of our students scored 750800, many reached there from below 700
they held previously. 50% of our SAT math 2
students achieved full score.
“I’m pretty good in math but your classes and
practice work was needed to meet 800 ,
couldn’t have done without it”
“The practice work was immensely helpful
because most problems you gave were
identical to my real SAT math test”
“I never thought I could break 700! Thank you
for the extensive problem analysis in class”
Online: We also offer online SAT math coaching
across the country with our “PowerMyMath”
remote study program on skype/webex
What do we do? We work with students strong in
basic math skills towards test taking strategy,
enriched math, spatial reasoning, logical
reasoning and descriptive math. They learn
beyond grades, and take up challenging math
concepts and problems with our guidance. All of
our students who attended the most recent A&E
test passed. Some of the students work with us
through the path of enrichment and others come
to us for that stretch to move across the fence on
a test like A&E. Overall each of them build a
strong foundation for higher level math.
“The classes and practice work were exceptional
to expand my child’s skills and was instrumental
in getting into the A&E program” * We also guide
a number of A&E students every year.

In the event the township cannot immediately identify an animal’s owner and must assume
responsibility, the pet is temporarily boarded at Weber’s on
Route 1. Injured animals or animals picked up when the temperature is very cold are taken to
Princeton Animal Hospital.
At the April 20 Council meeting, Council approved three animal services contract renewals:
Princeton Animal Hospital for
emergency veterinarian services; Nassau Animal Hospital for
non-emergency veterinary services; and Weber’s. Services are
used upon request from the
township’s animal control officer, who is employed by East
Windsor and provides shared
services as part of an interlocal

THE NEWS
MAY 1, 2015
he largest single piece of the
landscape in West Windsor
isn’t really West Windsor at
all. Most of it is located in our
township, but it really belongs to
all of Mercer County. It’s called the
Richard J. Coffee Mercer County
Park, and it takes up nearly 15 percent of our township’s area. One of
its main entrances is in West Windsor on what is usually called Old
Trenton Road. The other entrance
is in Hamilton Township on Hughes
Drive.
The park has been in existence
since 1985 and covers about 2,600
acres, or a little over four square
miles. The land that makes up this
area was acquired by the county in
the 1960s and ’70s. It includes
what were once about 50 individual properties, most of them farms.
Except for small areas at the western end in Lawrence and Hamilton
townships, it is all in West Windsor.
The park was named in honor of
longtime Mercer County official
Richard J. Coffee in 2009.
I first heard that Mercer County
was going to have a park in the
1970s when I heard that an old
friend and member of the county
park commission was involved in
planning one. I had no idea how big
it was going to be or just where it
was going to be, but knowing that
Pete Morgan was involved I knew
it would be something special.
I had known Pete Morgan for a
long time, specifically since he was
the track coach at Princeton University soon after I started there in
1947. He had been the coach at
Trenton Central High School since
soon after graduating from Notre
Looking Back
Dame University in 1929. This was
the same Trenton Central High
School that will be rebuilt over the
next four years. It was originally
built in 1932.
A Trenton native, Pete had been
active in local affairs following in
his father’s footsteps. After retiring
as Princeton coach in 1969, he kept
in touch with a number of the local
alumni he had known as team
members and kept us informed of
some of his activities, especially
with the Mercer County Park Commission.
The park contains facilities for
just about any activity one can think
of doing in a park. There are baseball and softball fields, tennis
courts, volleyball courts, cricket
pitches, and fields for football, soccer, and lacrosse. There’s also an ice
skating center. Some of the playing
fields are lighted, and during its
first few years, the West WindsorPlainsboro High School Pirates
played their home football games
there. (Of course, that was long before we had our own lighted football field or bleachers to sit in. And
there was no High School North.)
In addition to the organized
sports facilities, there are hiking,
biking, and running trails. Some
competitive cross-country meets
are held there between area schools.
I even remember there being a fivekilometer race there on New Years
Eve — near lighted areas, of

and feeds Lake Mercer in the process.
The creation of Lake Mercer
was an example of the creative and
simultaneous cooperation of two
government functions: parks and
highway building. It turned out that
when the New Jersey Turnpike was
to be designated I-95 (it wasn’t always called that), there was a desire to create a new “loop road”
portion that would go around the
north of Trenton from east to west
and be designated I-295. Part of the
way around Trenton and on the
Pennsylvania side of the Delaware
River the road would be designated
I-95 again, and south of Trenton on
the New Jersey side the turnpike
would continue and would be paralleled by I-295. At about the same
time, a new high-speed road was to
be built that would cross the state
from east to west. This would be
designated I-195.
So with all this road building going on, a way was found to take advantage of the excavation required
to form Lake Mercer in the park.
During the initial formation of the
dam across the Assunpink that was
needed to create the new lake it was
realized that the gravel in the terrane that was being bulldozed was
just what was needed to help build
the foundations for the newly
paved roads nearby.
Ground was broken for the park
in June, 1971, and the county was

able to sell the excavated gravel to
contractors who were building the
roads. The local press became
aware of this stroke of good luck
and followed the progress very
closely for a long time. It seemed
that news of the latest tonnage of
gravel excavated from the lake site
and the corresponding advance of
the road beds was a weekly story in
all the papers.
The lake itself ended up being
quite large — 365 acres in area —
over half a square mile. A major
feature of the lake is its crew racing
course, which is considered one of
the best in the country. The race
course and its boat house are called
the Finn M.W. Caspersen Rowing
Center. The race course features
multiple rowing lanes for competitive crew races.
It was built with private funding
as a joint venture of three prep
schools (Lawrenceville, Peddie,
and Hun) and Mercer County. The
center has been designated the official training site for the U.S.
Olympic rowing teams. The boat
house is on the north side of the
lake and is accessible via South
Post Road from Village Road West.
The lake is also accessible to the
general public, either by bringing
their own boats and canoes or renting them at the park waterfront near
the boat house on the south side of
the lake. The boat house is currently undergoing a major renovation,
but it should be completed this
summer. There will be a snack-bar
and other public facilities. But even
without the latest enhancements to
the boat house, it’s a very nice place
to take a walk and just hang out.
