Perhaps crazed fans or big advertising

Beginning Saturday, June 14, Mercer County will see that spirit in action
with the start of the Special Olympics
USA games. The games continue
through Saturday, June 21, at venues
including the College of New Jersey,
the Lawrenceville School, and Princeton University. With the support of
more than 10,000 volunteers and
70,000 fans, 3,500 athletes with intellectual disabilities will compete in
more than 16 Olympic-style sporting
events. The abilities of these competitors and the 1,000 coaches who guide
them help promote the ideals of ac-
clude three from West Windsor and
Plainsboro and one coach. Here are
their stories:

of West Windsor, and a 2009 graduate

Olympic athlete since she was 12,
Monica is excited to be representing
New Jersey for the second time in the
National Games. This year she will
compete in the 2K, 5K, and 10K time
trials to be held at Mercer County
Park, Monday through Thursday, June
16 through 19.
She first joined a track team that
competed in the 2000 NJ Summer
Olympics Games and has since competed in seven other Special Olympics
sports: aquatics, basketball, bowling,
cross-country skiing, cycling, snowshoeing, and soccer.

Monica’s parents are Nantanee, the

Brunswick, and Peter, a senior research specialist at Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School. The family has
lived in West Windsor for nearly three
decades. “We were attracted to West
Windsor because of its strong and improving public schools, its proximity
to Princeton and the Route 1 corridor,
and the parks and open space,” Nantanee says.
“We have been happy with our decision. For one reason, the proximity

the chain link fencing surrounding

Where Is David
Bachner Field?
O
n August 11, 2014, David
Bachner will have been deceased five years. As per your naming requirements he will meet the
criteria that you imposed in October, 2012, with regard to naming a
facility. Please consider this a formal request to name the North High
School varsity baseball diamond
the David Bachner Field.
My son T.J. was in sixth grade
when David passed in 2009. We
talked about David’s funeral and
the number of people who attended. My son was fortunate to be able
to play freshman and junior varsity
baseball at North. He proudly wore
his North baseball uniform hat with
its embroidered 16. These days as a
junior at North, while he’s not on
the baseball team he continues to
wear his “unhittable” t-shirt and
sweatshirt all the time.

Work With an Agent Who Specializes

The housing market in West Windsor and Plainsboro is on fire.
Home prices finally hit their bottom a couple years ago and they
have been steadily climbing ever since. The extreme inventory
shortage which is occurring locally is fueling bidding wars on
nearly every listed home. In other words, it’s great to be a seller! It has been a long time since we could say that but this too
shall pass so if you are thinking about selling your home this year
now is the time to act. My market analysis not only incorporates
past market conditions it also anticipates future trends and conditions experienced locally. It is important to work with an agent
who has experience in this type of market to maximize your profit.
Considering we have not experienced this since 2001-2005
there are only a handful of us out there. Call me today for a free,
no obligation market analysis of your home today.

He and I visit David’s marker
out by the bullpen at North every
year on David’s “Angelversary.”
I never met David nor had an opportunity to watch him play. My
son T.J. never met David and never
had the opportunity to watch him
play. We have been fortunate to be
part of the baseball community and
meet and talked to baseball players
like P.J. Silva and Scott Feryus and
others who have talked to other
players who knew David. His legacy lives on because he was able to
touch so many people in and outside of baseball.
I have been fortunate to meet
and get to know Rhonda Bachner
and Steve Bachner, David’s parents. They are of course deeply invested in continuing David’s legacy. They provide scholarships as
part of their foundation, the David
J. Bachner Memorial Fund. They
raise money by holding a yearly
North-South hockey game that
grows in popularly every year.
They sell “unhittable” wear at the
North-South baseball games every
year. Their Facebook site is vibrant
with friends posting pictures of
“unhittable” around the world and
continuing to reminiscence and tell
stories about David.
So after all this information you
may ask: why am I so personally
invested in supporting the Bachners and asking you to name a base-
Why name a baseball
field after David Bachner? Because in the

there may never be another athlete with his

ball field after their son David? Because I love the sport and community of baseball. Because I have a
son who loves baseball and if anything ever happened to him I don’t
know if I would have the strength
of Rhonda and Steve to continue.
Because baseball doesn’t always
seem to get the attention and support as much as other sports. Because from CPLL T-ball to WW-P
Senior Babe Ruth and both North
and South high school baseball
teams I have made a lifetime of
friends in the sport of baseball. Because in the sport of North baseball
there may never be another athlete
with the talent and potential of David Bachner, and ensuring that the
North field bears his name alongside his marker is a fitting tribute.
Because it’s the right thing to do.
For baseball. For David.

Reduce the $9.6M
School Busing Bill
T
he discussions over local budgets are over for another year,
but one number continues to stick
with me: the nearly $9.6 million the
WW-P school district spends each
year to bus its students.
The district has about 10,000
students, so at its simplest, that
works out to almost $960 per student for something that has nothing
to do with education. (I know not
everyone gets bused, but I am trying to keep the math simple.)
The total price tag, which is for
the upcoming school year, is 5 percent more than we are paying for
transportation in the school year
that is almost over, according to the
presentation at the April 29 public
hearing on the budget.
While I am under no illusion that
the district can do away with bus-

ne of the endearing images
of childhood is Linus sucking his thumb and holding
his baby blanket, so if you’re looking for a novel baby gift, here’s an
idea: how about “The Bodyguard”?
Heads up: it doesn’t come in the
traditional pink and blue, but rather, neon orange. When your child
isn’t holding it, it can be strapped
onto his back, like a backpack. Did
we mention that it can protect him
from falling debris? Not surprising
since the manufacturer is based in
Oklahoma, where the wind comes
sweeping down the plain, often in
the form of killer tornadoes. Here’s
the kicker: it costs $1,000. That’s
because the manufacturer claims
that it’s made from the same material in protective gear used by law
enforcement and the military and it
can protect your child from a 9 mm
bullet.
Doesn’t it make you wonder that
we survived childhood at all,
bouncing around in the back seat of
a car with no seat belts on, or sleeping in cribs with slats wide enough
for our heads to become stuck?
However, this new product takes
the concept of protecting our children to a whole new level, and sadly, it’s a sign of our times, with
school shootings becoming, in the
words of President Obama, the
norm in this nation.
I would take it one step further
and say that the frequency of oncampus violence has produced not
only frustration, but almost a feeling of resignation for some, the
sense that oh well, at least this time
there are only two people dead, instead of an entire classroom full of
six-year-olds. “Only two” is not acceptable on any level, but especially to families whose loss cannot be
measured. One life lost to violence
in school is one life too many. As
our president declared this week, in
the wake of the latest school shooting in Oregon, we as a nation are
duty-bound to do some soul searching on this.
I don’t trust our government to
accomplish anything in this arena
in any timely fashion. The gun lobby is too strongly entrenched in
Washington, political leaders cower at the might of the NRA, and the
gun culture in our country is simply
too strong. Think John Wayne and
the square-jawed icons of our wild,
Wild West, and Hollywood’s embellishment of the hero culture of
war. Moreover, the right to bear
arms is protected by our Constitution, the second of the 10 amendments that make up the Bill of
Rights. Short of a tsunami that

had parents and a therapist who
UN
knew of his brewing rage. But the
ing (and indeed there are state rules
about when districts must bus), it
certainly is in our interest as taxpayers to try to reduce our busing
bill by creating more safe ways to
walk (or bike) to school. Another
reason to reduce the amount of busing is of course the health benefits
of a relatively short walk or bike
ride to school.
If every bus holds 70 students,
we spend about $65,000 per bus.
Round down if you like, even to
$50,000, but that is a lot of money.
Now think how many buses go
through your neighborhood.
Imagine if we could reduce our
busing bill by $1 million, or a bit
more than 10 percent of our current
costs. Those annual savings could
pay for an awful lot of sidewalks
and adult crossing guards (and
that’s without any state grant mon-
ey from the safe routes to school
program), and quickly lead to net
savings that would benefit us, the
taxpayers.
How would we do this? It will
require cooperation among the
school administration, the school
board, the West Windsor and
Plainsboro governments (who actually pay for sidewalks and crossing guards), the police departments, and perhaps others to design
walkable routes to school and for
taxpayers to insist upon it. It may
also take several years to actually
add all of the needed sidewalks.
But I am confident it can be done.
We just need to start.

want to follow up on Howard Eldridge’s interesting and informative letter (The News, May 30) regarding floods from Little Bear
Brook. As has been said, those who
do not learn from history are
doomed to repeat it.
The Irene-Lee event of late August, 2011, was indeed historic.
Photos taken by several West
Windsor residents on August 28
show that it was a “500-year” flood
as judged from the respective limits shown on official FEMA maps
and charts. Little Bear Brook rose
past Rush Holt’s office on Route
571 all the way to the corner of Alexander Road and Vaughn Drive.
Farther downstream, the Millstone River overtopped Route 1
near Harrison Street, closing this
major artery and doing substantial
damage in that area. This must have
been due to the Millstone not being
able to effectively empty into Carnegie Lake. Either the lake was too
high, or there were restrictions at
the confluence, or both. Backwater
effects resulted, and several West
Windsor residents reported that
Little Bear Brook, which runs into
the Millstone, was flowing backwards at times.
Flood information about Mercer
County streams can be found by
Googling the term “Mercer County
fis maps.” Clicking on the first site
that comes up will retrieve Volume
1 of the Mercer County Flood Insurance Study (Preliminary, May
30, 2013), which gives explanatory
material.
Detailed flood profile charts are
in alphabetical order in Volumes 2
and 3. The URL for Volume 2 is
floodmaps.fema.gov/prelim/PrelimData/New Jersey/Mercer County/prelim_issue_date-2013-05-30/
FIS Reports/34021CV002A.pdf.
(For Volume 3, substitute 003
for 002 near the end of the url.) The
Little Bear Brook chart is on Panel
74P of Volume 2 and the Millstone
River charts are on Panels 78P
through 84P of Volume 3.
These charts have notations
showing places where the various
streams cross roads and other landmarks. They show predicted water
levels resulting from events having
probabilities in any one year of 10
percent, 2 percent, 1 percent, and
0.2 percent respectively (i.e.
“10-year, 50-year, 100-year, and
500-year” floods). The Little Bear
Brook chart also states that throughout its length there is a 1 percent annual chance of backwater effects
from the Millstone. In other words,
with a 100-year or worse flood, Little Bear Brook will run backwards.
The Millstone chart shows that
to flood Route 1, the water level in
that stream (which together with

after the Millstone goes under the
canal) would have to have been at
least 62.5 feet at that point. (All elevations here are per the newer
NAVD88 basis. In our area, the
newer basis is one foot lower than
the older basis.)
At the confluence of Little Bear
Brook with the Millstone, the highwater level would have been about
63.5 feet (or higher) at that point
according to the charts when it was
62.5 feet (or higher) at Route 1.
This likely was the main reason
that Little Bear Brook could not
drain effectively. Photographs
show that it reached levels of about
63 feet on Route 571 and at the intersection of Alexander and
Vaughn. The latter elevations can
be determined to one-foot accuracy
by going to the site called “The National Map,” zeroing in on our area,
and using the “spot elevation” tool.
Given the high water level in the
Millstone, it is no wonder that Little Bear Brook flooded the way it
did then and still continues to do
after heavy rains. Though it would
obviously help somewhat to remove any partial obstructions currently existing in the brook’s channel, as Mr. Eldridge mentions, this
would not address the other major
problems inherent in the Millstone
and Carnegie Lake proper. These
problems likely could only be
solved by major engineering projects, with due consideration for the
effects these would have on communities farther downstream that
already flood after major storms.
John A. Church
West Windsor
HOWARD ELDRIDGE IS CORRECT
in his letter in the May 30 issue.
Lake Carnegie plays no part in the
flooding of Washington Road
caused by Little Bear Brook. Both
it and its companion waterway, Big
Bear Brook, enter the Millstone
River quite some distance before
the Millstone gets to the aqueduct
of the D&R Canal under which it
flows prior to reaching Carnegie.
Only during the heaviest, sustained downpours can the lake’s
elevation play a role in causing a
backup of the Millstone from that
point and subsequent problems upstream in areas of West Windsor
and Plainsboro, but not as far as
Washington Road. That was not the
situation in our recent flooding episode, anyway — which was quite
minor compared to the “big ones”
we have every 15 or 20 years or so.
The main problem with Little
Bear Brook where it passes below
Washington Road is that the terrain
throughout its course is very flat. In
fact, depending on where the heaviest rain was, part of it used to sometimes flow in the opposite direc-
tion, away from Washington Road
until it joined Duck Pond Run. The
modifications made during the development of Windsor Haven and
the Estates at Princeton Junction
have had a positive effect in this regard. Cleaning out the blockage in
the water course should help.

PLAInSBORO: More Housing for Forrestal
Submit Your Story
P
rinceton Forrestal Village, the
retail, office, and medical office complex on the west side of
Route 1 in Plainsboro, may soon
add some residential dwelling units
to the mix.
According to a public notice, a
concept review of “an apartment
community containing 394 luxury
residences comprised of three amenity rich, three and four-story
buildings” will be presented to the
Plainsboro Planning Board on
Monday, June 16, at 7:30 p.m. in
the court room at the Plainsboro
Township Municipal Building, 641
Plainsboro Road.
The notice announcing the review noted that the plan calls for
“internal parking that is hidden
from the street. Other amenities include indoor and outdoor recreational spaces for residents and a
public outdoor park.”
The proposed residential development would be located between
College Road West and the existing
Forrestal Village office buildings,
taking up space now covered by
parking lots and some grassy areas.
Some housing already exists across
College Road West from the village, the age-restricted Windows
condominiums and semi-detached
single family homes.
The new housing, being proposed by an entity related to the
current owners of the village,
would be just a matter of steps from
the retail, restaurants, and offices
that make up Forrestal Village. The
existing Windrows housing, in
contrast, is on the other side of College Road West, requiring pedestrians to cross a four-lane loop road
with a small grass median in order
to get to the village.

Mary Louise Buckley of Lawrenceville died May 25. A nurse for
34 years at New Jersey Manufacturers Insurance in West Trenton,
she volunteered for the American
Cancer Society, Relay for Life, and
Interfaith Caregivers. Survivors
include her brother and sister-inlaw, James F. and Joan Buckley of
West Windsor.
Anne E. Villa, 52, of Plainsboro
died May 28. Born in Jersey City,
she graduated from Davis and Elkins College with a bachelor’s degree in business. She was a sales
associate for Villa Furniture in
North Plainfield for many years.
Survivors include her children
Nicholas and Jessica Holmgren;
her mother Ann Villa; brother John
Villa; and a sister Mary Ann Gately. Donations may be made to John
Theurer Cancer Center, 92 Second
Street, Hackensack 07601.
nouncing the concept review, the
“buildings will have a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom dwelling units, as well as a mix of one,
two, and three bedroom affordable
dwelling units. There will be 344
market rate units and 50 affordable
units in the proposed conceptual
community.” The housing would
not be age-restricted.
The architect is Minno and Wasko of Lambertville. The applicant,
formally known as IVC PFV LLC,
is represented by Drinker Biddle &
Reath of 105 College Road East in
the Princeton Forrestal Center,
across Route 1 from the planned
new residences. The next step in
the planning process would be an
application for site plan approval.
Greenstein Loses In
Primary Contest
I
n what many predicted would be
a tight primary race, Plainsboro
resident and state senator Linda
Greenstein lost her bid for the 12th
Congressional district Democratic
primary to assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman by a bigger
margin than expected. Coleman received 15,413 votes according to
the unofficial results posted by the
state department of election.
Greenstein received 10,031. Both
were seeking to replace 12-term
Congressman Rush Holt, who is
retiring.
While Coleman carried Mercer
County, Greenstein won in West
Windsor, which was formerly part
of her state legislative district.
Greenstein received 659 votes,
compared to 346 for Coleman and
346 for state assemblyman Upendra Chivukula.

Honors Healey
P
lainsboro fire company president and lieutenant Tom Healey
was recently recognized for his 25
years of service. Healey was honored by his fellow volunteer firefighters at their June 3 meeting and
was formally honored at the June
11 Plainsboro committee meeting.
Healey was inspired to become a
firefighter when he would accompany his father, the former mayor
of Kearny, when he responded to
fires. His firefighting family also
includes his grandfather, brother,
and cousin.
Within the Plainsboro fire department Healey has previously
served as vice president and safety
officer. Since joining the department in 1989 he has secured more
than $100,000 in donations from
area businesses, assisted in the department’s purchase of new equipment, and led community programs, including the car washes
used by many school groups for
fundraising.

“It’s truly an honor to be recognized by your peers in the business

As predicted, Greenstein carried
Middlesex County, as well as her
hometown of Plainsboro. Greenstein received 444 of 826 votes cast
in Plainsboro. The second-highest
vote total was 214 for Chivukula.
The Middlesex County Democratic Organization had endorsed
Greenstein, whereas the Mercer
County Democratic Committee
had endorsed Coleman.
This election, the 13th of Greenstein’s career, is the first election
she has ever lost.
In 1992 she was elected the West
Windsor-Plainsboro school board,
and to the Plainsboro Township
Committee in 1995. In 2000 Greenstein was elected to the New Jersey
State Assembly. In 2010 she won
her current senate seat in a special
election to replace Bill Baroni, who
accepted a position with the Port
Authority of New York and New
Jersey. She was re-elected in 2013.
Following the primary loss,
Greenstein told supporters, “I’m

Field Name Issue Re-Surfaces
W
by Sue Roy
hile retiring district employees were honored at
the June 10 board of education meeting, it was a former student who dominated discussion
that evening.
David Bachner, a star baseball
player who graduated from High
School North in 2009, died suddenly from a heart problem that
summer. Beginning in 2011 with a
request from resident Pete Weale, a
movement has been mounted to rename North’s baseball field after
Bachner. In response, the school
board developed a naming rights
policy, which it adopted in October, 2012. Among the policy’s provisions is one stating that the district must wait five years after a
person is deceased. It has been five
years since Bachner’s death, so the
issue has resurfaced.
Several residents spoke at the
June 10 meeting including resident
Tim Hitchings (see letter, page 4);
Ryan Phelan, a former teammate of
Bachner; former Board of Education member Michele Epstein;
Community Middle School eighth
grader Jake Rona; and Andrea and
Mitchell Rona, who read a letter
written by David Bachner’s parents. All expressed their support of
the renaming of the field in Bachner’s honor.
Board member Taylor Zhong
also publicly expressed his support
of the renaming.
Board member Michele Kaish,
chair of the board committee responsible for district policy, noted
“with regard to renaming the baseball field, the Board would follow
the procedures set forth in policy
7250, which relates to naming
rights of district buildings and facilities. Should the (Administration & Facilities) committee think
the naming request has merit, then
it will go to the full board of education for a vote.”
According to policy 7250,
should the Administration & Facilities committee decide the request
has merit, it will set up an ad hoc
committee to which residents can
submit their name-change request,
along with written materials, letters, and other supporting documentation. The ad hoc committee
will review the request using the
criteria set forth in the policy,
which includes consideration of
the history and traditions of West
MAD ABOUT MEN
A BLUEPRINT FOR THE WELL-GROOMED
Finding the look that you want is key to power grooming. Whether you’re an executive, a weekend
warrior, or a rocker at heart, the top trends in men’s grooming are all about creating a personal blueprint for
your signature look.
HERE’S SOME TOP MEN’S TRENDS FOR 2014
• Vintage inspired – from Gatsby-style skin fades, to Don Draper’s
60s slick back, TV and movies have created a buzz that’s hard to deny.
Everyone wants to emulate the man that people are talking about.
• Camouﬂage is the new black when it comes to covering up those gray
hairs. Defying age is easier than defying gravity - color is combed through
just to blend tones without visible signs of “hair coloring”.
• Facial hair can make or break your look - or take you into new style
territory. It’s all about making a statement – especially neater, more classic
facial hairstyles.
SALON RECON
Buy the right products. Men’s specialty lines like V76 address
fundamental men’s grooming with scalp and conditioning treatments,
brightening for silver hair, remedies for thinning hair, shaving, face and body products. Natural scents like
sandalwood and blue cedar create shampoos, pomades and gels that smell great and support your style.

With more than 15 years experience in precision cutting, dimensional color and make-up, we are excited
to have Gil join our team as a mentor and coach. With a “passion for fashion” which became a “passion for
hair”, this former FIT major (and fashion stylist for Betsy Johnson) turns to inspiration from celebrity icons
like David Beckham and Sharon Stone who radiate timeless, ageless beauty that doesn’t try too hard.
From red carpet looks, to everyday elegance, Gil is a master at his craft.
If you want to be inspired and keep it fresh, Gil is available for reservations Tuesday, Wednesday,

Windsor and Plainsboro; the history or significance of the person or
group being recognized; and any
notable contributions or achievements they may have made.
The ad hoc committee will review all naming and renaming requests, and submit up to three such
requests to the board, along with an
explanation for their recommendations. The board will then make a
decision on the recommendations.
The full policy can be found on
the district website at www.westwindsor-plainsboro.k12.nj.us.
The board also approved the appointment of Patricia Buell, the
current assistant principal at Maurice Hawk, to replace Denise Mengani, who is retiring (see page 13).
She will earn $145,658. In addition, Laura Bruce was appointed as
assistant principal at Dutch Neck
School, at a salary of $106,505.
Jeanine Bride, who was serving as
the acting assistant principal at
High School South, will become a
business teacher at South.
The board also approved 2014’15 salaries for several district administrators:
Larry Shanok, assistant superintendent for finance, $181,289.
Gerard Dalton, assistant superintendent for pupil services,
$160,684.
Martin Smith, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, $159,961.
Alicia Boyko, director of human
resources/community education,
$136,814.
Geraldine Hutner, director of
communications, $105,538.
Lawrence LoCastro, comptroller, $128,500.
Russell Schumacher, special assistant, labor relations, $116,763.
In other news, the board awarded the bid for the spray fireproofing
restoration at High School North to
Ricasoli & Santin for a total amount
of $115,950. Other bids received
were from Kohl Construction, for
$188,250; and Daskal LLC for
$135,000.
The board also awarded the bid
for the pavement restoration at
High School South to Meco, Inc.,
for a total amount $433,275. The
district received one other bid for
the project, from All Surface Asphalt, for $493,318.
The 2014-’15 and 2015-’16 revised school calendars were also
approved. The 2014-’15 school
year will begin on Wednesday,
September 3, and the year will end
on Thursday, June 18, 2015. Potential emergency closing days, in order, will be: May 27, May 26, (the
two days following Memorial
Day); February 16 (President’s
Day); and April 2 (the first day of
spring break, a Thursday). There
are no planned emergency closing
days during the full week of spring
break, which runs from Friday,
April 3, through Friday, April 10.
In a change from previous years,
there will be only one day off for
Presidents’ Day — Monday, February 16.
The 2015-’16 school year will
begin on Wednesday, September 2,
and will end on Friday, June 17.
The emergency closing days, in order, will be: Monday, June 13;
Tuesday, May 31 (the day after Memorial Day); Monday, February 15
(President’s Day); and Thursday,
March 24 (the start of spring break).
Again, there are no planned emergency closing days scheduled for
the full week of spring break, which
runs from Friday, March 25,
through Friday, April 1. In addition, there will be no days off in
February surrounding the Presidents’ Day weekend.
JUNE 13, 2014
The next Board of Education
meeting, which will include the
semi-annual harassment, intimidation, and bullying report, will be
held Tuesday, June 24, at 7:30 p.m.
at Grover Middle School.

New Recycling Day
W
est Windsor residents will
soon have to adjust to a
new recycling schedule. Effective July 3, pick-up day will be
changed from every other Saturday to every other Thursday. The
change, announced by the Mercer County Improvement Authority on June 11, is intended to
“There isn’t support for the notion that we are going to spend $5
million on the municipal building. I
agree that we need to do the physical upgrades and move the emergency vehicles out of the arts council building, but I don’t agree with
the other changes, and I don’t agree
with how this was handled. This is
the first time I am seeing any of
this.”
Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh asked to
explain the project. “This renovation has been discussed before you,
Bryan, were even on the council,
when Bob Hary was the business
administrator, and Linda Geevers
and George Borek were on the
council. This has been in the planning stages for a long time. We
wanted Spiezle to present this tonight so that we could look at the
priorities and the budget and make
some decisions together and have
reasonable discussions without
emotional or political issues.”
Hsueh further clarified that this
was a concept plan only; and that
once council approved the project,
the administration would seek input from residents and others before any specific plans were developed.
Maher responded, “You should
have come to us — that is the way
that the administration needs to
work with this council. If you really wanted to start a dialogue you
should have done this a year ago.”
‘Instead of using the
money to enhance the
community, we are using it to make the community worse.’
Said Hsueh, “This is nothing
more than a political attack. I asked
Peter Mendonez to be on the committee as the council liaison, so
how am I not working with the
council? We are willing to go forward with what you approve, using
the schedule you propose. We want
to give you all of the options so that
you can make the best decision
with all of the information. Not
saying you have to make a decision
tonight, just asking you to listen
and start the dialogue.”
“I said months ago that we are
more interested in bite-size
chunks,” Maher interjected. “You
chose to ignore that and not engage
this chair and this council. I am
willing to horse-trade to get things
done. But I won’t be circumvented.
But I want you to come to me with
your priorities. You did not do this.”
When the mayor asked to finish
his explanation, noting that Maher
had talked for a long time, Maher
replied, “I can talk as long as I want
to. I am the chair. You aren’t.”
As the discussion devolved,
Council member Kristina Samonte
implored Maher and Hsueh to continue the conversation at another
time, “so that we can return this
council meeting to an appropriate
level of professionalism.”
Business administrator Marlena
Schmid clarified that, “all along the
priority has been to move the emergency vehicles out of the Arts
Council building.”
And director of community development Pat Ward said, “I think
improve response time to missed
pick-ups and keep the streets
cleaner on the weekends, when
many community activities occur.
In case of a Thursday holiday,
pick up will be moved to Saturday. For more information contact the MCIA at www.mcianj.
org or call 609-278-8086.
this is a good plan, and I would like
to walk you through it. I invite you
[the council] to meet with me and
engineering to talk about this proposal.”
Despite the fireworks over how
the plan was presented, several
residents commented on specific
aspects of the plan. Several members of the Arts Council spoke, including Elaine Gutterman, the upcoming president of the council
and a founding member; executive
director Arin Black; and Paul Cerna, the founding president, who
said, “We want to see the emergency vehicles moved out so that we
can expand the arts council. This
will have a beneficial ripple effect
on the town as a whole.”
Added resident Jeff Nathanson,
a trustee of the West Windsor Arts
Council and executive director of
the Arts Council of Princeton: “It is
good to hear that there is no dispute
on moving the fire trucks from the
bays in the fire house. As art spaces, they will be so incredibly useful, so we are hopeful for a phase
two [of the arts council development plan]. We were hoping for a
more positive resolution tonight,
but we urge you to work through
whatever issues you have and get
this done to proceed as we originally intended.”
Residents John Church and Alison Miller both commented on the
administration’s failure to seek
public input before presenting the
plan and suggested putting the plan
on the township website to allow
residents to view it.
The administration has accommodated that request. The concept
plan can be found at www.westwindsornj.org.
Resident Kathy Brennan also
commented: “These ideas are
short-sighted and are not community or pedestrian-friendly and we
will be mounting our opposition.”
In a later conversation, Brennan
expressed her views more fully. “I
am speaking as a concerned resident who lives across from the municipal center. My main issue is the
five-bay building, which will be in
the back yard of the senior center,
keeping them from being able to
expand, which they want to be able
to do. According to the diagram, it
will be bigger and higher than the
post office building. In addition, it
will take out the senior center patio,
the sidewalks, and will isolate the
municipal building from the rest of
the township buildings. Plus, its
placement there will require the
cutting down of all of the trees and
bushes.”
“My suggestion would be to
move the recreation and health departments to the empty post office
space. That way, if in the future the
post office doesn’t renew its lease,
we could create a community center in the other half of the building.
Then we could create a community
triangle between the senior center,
the library, and the community center.”
“I want to make it clear that I am
not opposed to moving out the
emergency vehicles from the Arts
Council, and I am not opposed to
spending the money on improvements. The municipal building
needs to be upgraded, but the mayor is proposing to spend $5 million
JUNE 13, 2014
without getting input from the residents, seniors, and others. Instead
of using the money to enhance the
community, we are using it to make
the community worse. We have the
opportunity to do something really
beneficial here and make the community center even more neighborhood and community-friendly. We
could even build sidewalks to lead
to the municipal building. This is
not a well-thought out plan. We
need a plan that makes our town
more attractive, not less.”
The topic of brush removal was
also addressed again.
Said resident Marla Esposito, “I
am speaking to you as a concerned
citizen. We have a problem in my
neighborhood and the town because of all the yard debris being
left in the streets and the bike lanes.
Because we have an increase of
landscapers, who are leaving a lot
of debris in the roads, it has become
excessive. Debris is being left out
in the roadways up to one month
before zoned pickup.
“This is dangerous to bikers and
pedestrians. Sometimes the piles
are more than three to four feet high
and spill into street, so they are a
danger to cars and school buses, especially when there are bends or
curves in the roads. I have been told
that the current ordinance is not being enforced because of budget
cuts and understaffing. A new ordinance is overdue, and violations
need to be given out, and landscapers need to be responsible for removing debris.”
Council members George Borek
and Kristina Samonte had previously volunteered to rewrite the
ordinance, and council members
discussed their recommendations.
Ultimately, all five agreed to language that would include: no brush
pick-up from December through
February; limiting the size of al-

Special Olympics
on Access Link, New Jersey Transit’s service for people with disabilities.” The Special Olympics
Sports Complex is only a short
drive from their home and in recent
years they have been pleased to see
more bike ways developing in West
Windsor.
When Monica entered Grover
Middle School, she still needed
training wheels to ride her bike.
Her parents envisioned Monica
having to rely on these “crutches”
for the rest of her life. Her gym
teacher at Grover, however, had
confidence that Monica could learn
to ride the bicycle independently.
She recommended Monica go the
Strength Training Club after
school, where Monica used the stationary bike, alongside the school’s
most accomplished athletes, to
strengthen her leg muscles and
learn the rhythm needed for balance. Within a year Monica was
able to ride her bike trainingwheels free.
“Special Olympics have become
a significant life-changing program for Monica. Through participation in Special Olympics, Monica has become healthier and developed good habits with respect to
physical activities and nutrition.
She has gained greater confidence
and learned to do her best, not only
on the playing field but also at work
and in everyday life,” says Nantanee. These skills and habits have
served her well at Monica’s jobs at
Stop and Shop in Pennington and at
Home Goods in Nassau Park. Participation in Special Olympics has
extended her circle of friends and
strengthened her friendships.
As a high school freshman,
Monica began bowling in a Special
Olympics Unified Bowling league,
coached by a parent of a Special
Olympics athlete, a neighbor, and a
Rider University professor. Rider
students bowled and competed on
the same teams as Special Olym-
2
pics bowlers. Monica especially
enjoyed the opportunity to get to
know Rider teammates.
“Monica first competed at the
national level in 2006 as a bowling
member of Team NJ at the First
USA National Games in Ames, Iowa. There she won three gold medals. She went on to compete in
bowling as a member of Team USA
in Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghai, China, in
2007, where she won gold and a
silver medal,” says her mother.
“Without past and present
coaches, mentors and other volunteers of Special Olympics, Monica
would not be in the position of being ready for the National Games
as she is right now,” she says.
S
hubham Prasad, 19, of Plainsboro is a triathlete who has been
taking part in the games since 2007.
He was introduced to these programs during his years in the WWP school system.
“We have lived in Plainsboro
since 2006,” explains Shubham’s
father, Shiv. “My job requirement
brought me to the Plainsboro area. I
am an IT professional and my wife
is a home maker.”
Shubham has two younger
brothers. Saurabh, 17, is a senior at
High School South, and Sharad,
12, is in sixth grade at Grover Middle School. Both will be cheering
loudly for their brother at the
games, where hugs are abundant
and acceptable.
Shubham competes in SONJorganized sports year-round including soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and track and
field in the summer. He has one
training session a week at WW-P
schools and weekly games in the
Mercer County area. At the games
Prasad will compete in a sprintdistance triathlon at Mercer County Park on Wednesday, June 18.
“My son never gives up and always keeps trying. People in society could all learn this life lesson
from him,” says Shiv. “People
should understand that despite my
son’s disabilities he does have
strong abilities that should be appreciated.”
“These games gave my son a
great opportunity to grow socially;
he’s learned time management,
about following a routine and directions, which will be great help
for him in his future,” says Shiv.
“We are so happy for Shubham! We
are committed to making sure his
participation in all the training
camps and sessions — whenever
possible. Our family feels proud
about him and we make him understand that he is part of a big and
prestigious national event.”
D
ivesh Ramani, 18, of Princeton Junction has been cycling
for the Special Olympics team for
the past two years. “Let me win.
But if I cannot win, let me be brave
in the attempt” is Divesh’s oath as
he enters the games.
Divesh has been active in Special Olympics activities for the past
five years. Keith Larsen, Divesh’s
coach, encourages the athletes to
work hard and includes “have fun”
in each E-mail to the team. Divesh
trains four to five days a week, both
outdoors and at the SONJ Fitness
Center in Lawrenceville. He also
takes spin classes at CanDo Fitness
in Plainsboro and participates in
triathlon.
At the games he will compete in
the 2K, 5K, and 10K time trials to
be held at Mercer County Park.
Divesh started working at the
fitness center of SONJ to improve
his physical strength. “We saw the
positive results not only in his
physical strength, but also in social
development and self-confidence.
The difference in his nature is night
and day,” says his mother.
“The staff at the Fitness Center
is dedicated and trustworthy, and
so are the volunteers and coaches.
That has made all the difference,”
his mother says.
C
oach Marybeth Kowalski, 26,
of Plainsboro has been a part of
the Special Olympics for the past
10 years. She first became involved
during her freshman year at High
School North, volunteering for the
Summer Games. After graduating
in 2006, Kowalski continued volunteering while she pursued bachelor’s and master’s degrees in special education from the College of
New Jersey. Finally she started a
local training program in Robbinsville, where she has been a special
education teacher for the last three
years at Robbinsville High School.
“My parents have lived in
Plainsboro for over 30 years,” she
says. Her mother, Patricia, teaches
kindergarten at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart. Her father,
Daniel, runs a consulting firm
called Leadership 2020 LLC. She
has an older brother, Danny, who
graduated from North in 2002.
“I was raised in Plainsboro and
am grateful for the opportunities
that have been given to me through
the school system,” Kowalski says.
“In high school, I was very involved in their Special Olympics
Programs and spent time during
my school day helping in their Special Education Program. This
helped shape me into the teacher I
am today.”
Kowalski, a long-distance runner and assistant track and cross
country coach in Robbinsville,
coaches track and field for Team
NJ. “The athletes I have coached
throughout the years are some of
the most determined people I know.
Whether it is on or off the field, our

athletes are striving for their best.
My athletes make me so proud and
if I could teach them even 10 percent of what they teach me, I would
feel accomplished,” says Kowalski.
She is pleased that the Special
Olympics have shifted over the past
few years into a more inclusive environment. There are more unified
programs where athletes compete
side by side with partners — people
without intellectual disabilities.
“When you watch these competitions, it is truly one team and you
will not be able to tell who the athletes are,” says Kowalski. It bothers
her that people with intellectual
disabilities are still bullied more often than their “typically developing
peers,” and she believes sports provide the athletes with an outlet to
demonstrate their endless abilities.
“We are in the home stretch of
training our athletes to compete on
a national level and finalizing every last minute detail. There is a lot
of excitement among the team that
even when there is stress, it is channeled into our enthusiasm,” says
Kowalski.
Seeing the athletes build selfesteem, self-worth, and a positive
attitude is even better than winning
in her eyes. “Coaching Special
Olympics is one of my biggest passions and I love every minute of it.
I look forward to summer games
each year more than my own birthday. The USA games will be even
more incredible than the summer
games, and I cannot wait for June
14 to come around.”

College Baseball
C
hris Hase a 2010 graduate of High School
North and former member of the
Knights’ baseball team, now plays for the
University of Wisconsin’s club team. The
eighth-seeded Badgers finished third in this
year’s National Club Baseball Association
World Series, held in Tampa, Florida in May.
En route to their third-place finish the
Badgers defeated the top seed, East Carolina,
16-8. In that matchup Hase was voted player
of the game by the NCBA. Wisconsin then
edged out fourth-seeded Delaware, 8-7, in a
13-inning game that, due to rain delays, ended at 3:05 a.m. The Badgers ultimately lost to
the second seed and eventual winner, Utah
State. Hase, batting in the clean-up spot, hit
.350 for the series.
J
oe Jensen, a 2011 graduate of High School
North and a three-sport star at Hamilton
College, was also a standout on the baseball
diamond this spring.
The junior started all 26 games for the
Continentals and led the team with a .398
batting average, nine home runs, and 40
RBIs. In the outfield Jensen made 43 putouts out of 44 chances for a .977 fielding percentage.
Jensen also excels as a wide receiver for
Hamilton’s football team and as a sprinter on
its indoor track team.

player Chris Hase now plays

West Windsor Musician Showcases Emerging Composers
P
hiladelphia Composers’ Ink,
a group co-founded by longtime West Windsor resident
Carly Rapaport-Stein, presents a
concert on Sunday, June 22, in
Philadelphia. “Songs of Metamorphosis: Transformation in Music”
features the works of five Philadelphia-area composers and explores
the concept of change through music.
The group, founded in 2013,
was created to showcase the works
of emerging composers. “Through
monthly salons and semi-annual
competitions and concerts, we offer exposure to composers who
have not yet had the benefit of being published or performed widely,” Rapaport-Stein says.
“Any genre of new music is welcome, and we encourage contributions from all styles stretching from
classical combinations to genres
not typically heard in a concert hall
setting.”
The upcoming concert features
the works of five emerging, Philadelphia-based composers. Erica
Ball and Natalie Dietterich won the
Philadelphia Composers’ Ink composition competition, and their
works are being performed as a
competition prize. The three other
featured composers, Andrew Desiderio, Jess Molan, and Reese Revak, are co-founding members of
Philadelphia Composers’ Ink. The
concert features performances by
vocalists Amanda Campbell, Chad
Somers, and Timothy Gonzalez,
and pianist Reese Revak.
Rapaport-Stein moved to West
Windsor with her family in 1999.
Her father, Peter Stein, is a physician, and her mother, Barbara Rapaport, is a home school consultant
and college advisor with Rapaport
Consulting. Rapaport-Stein and
her two siblings were homeschooled until college.
Her sister Hannah graduated
from Muhlenberg College in 2010
with a degree in theater and a minor
in French. Since then, she has
taught English in France, and interned with Bucks County Playhouse and Shakespeare Theater
Company in Washington, D.C.

Her brother, Jeremy, graduated

month with a dual degree in music
and political science. A composer
in music festivals throughout the
country, he has received several
composition awards. Several pieces were performed at Swarthmore
by the orchestra and wind ensemble. He begins his MFA in composition at Brandeis University in the
fall.
Rapaport-Stein began playing
piano when she was eight and started singing in choirs when she was
10. She began voice lessons at age
14 with Tracey Chebra at Westminster Conservatory. During high
school she won the Anna B. Stokes
competition and the Westminster
Conservatory Scholarship competition.
As a student at Westminster
Choir College she placed in the
New Jersey chapter of the National
Association of Teachers of Singing
three times and was a Westminster

The soprano graduated from
Westminster with a bachelor’s degree in voice performance in 2007
and received her master’s degree in
opera performance from Temple
University in 2011. She will begin
a master’s degree in arts administration at Drexel University in September. She continues to teach
voice lessons in Philadelphia.
Rapaport-Stein, who also works
as the special projects administrator at Community Integrated Services, a non-profit organization in
the Philadelphia area, recently
managed the redesign and launch
of the new CIS website.
Rapaport-Stein performed with
the Opera Project, was the director
of the Seasonaires’ Choir at the
Four Seasons in Allentown, New
Jersey; and has been a frequent
guest soloist in the tri-state area.
Her past roles include scenes from
Le Nozze di Figaro, Die Walkure,
Orphee et Euridice, and Die Fledermaus. With the Westminster
Choir, she performed with the Spoleto Festival USA (Don Giovanni,

A Benefit Concert in Kingston with Hearts in South Korea
Y
oung musicians have coordinated a benefit concert to
help the students in South
Korea affected by the Sewol ferry
tragedy. The concert takes place
Saturday, June 21, at 5 p.m. at
Kingston Presbyterian Church.
Tickets are $10, with all proceeds
benefitting Danwon High School.
On April 16 a ferry off the coast
of South Korea capsized on its way
to Jeju Island. 476 people were on
the boat at the time, including 240
students from Danwon High
School. There were 304 casualties.
“Many of these high school students, and the surviving high school
students now face a bleak, unfortunate reality, with many of their
friends gone,” says Harry Kim, father of two of the musicians.
Hartley’s Legacy is a music volunteer group, founded in October
by Iris Kwak of West Windsor, and
Daniel and Joanna Kim of South
Brunswick. The student musicians,
ranging from middle to high
school, perform twice a month for
the senior residents at the Pavilion
at Forrestal in Plainsboro. Their
repertoire includes classical, jazz,
contemporary, and gospel music.
The group was developed “to

Kwak, 14, is a freshman at High

Zankel Hall and Weill Recital Hall
at Carnegie Hall and Merkin Recital Hall.
Kwak has performed in a solo
recital at All Nations Music

of Hurricane Katrina. As well as
being an accomplished young concert pianist with classical music,
Kwak also enjoys playing the piano for her church’s youth group

Kwak, works at a private bank in
New York. Her mother, Sunhee
Kwak, plays piano. Her brother,
Ian, 11, is a fifth grader at Millstone
River, where he plays clarinet in
the band.
The group is named after Wallace Henry Hartley, born in 1878,
the bandmaster on the Titanic. Legend has it that Hartley and his orchestra performed for the passengers while lifeboats were being
loaded. “While we may never sacrifice our lives, we sacrifice our
time and use whatever musical talents we may have to perform for
those who need it the most,” their
website says. “Our hopes are that
through our small acts of kindness,
we can make a difference in the
lives of the people who listen to and
watch us perform.”

V
ince Valenzuela, a 1990 graduate of West Windsor-Plainsboro High School, is presenting
four seminars on college planning
for teens and their parents. As the
director of college counseling at
Collegewise, a division of Princeton Review, he works with students
and parents through the college admission process.
Born in Staten Island, Valenzuela is the son of two medical doctors.
His father, Herminio, was in the
military, and Valenzuela attended
grades 6 to 9 on Quantico military
base while his father was chief of
internal medicine at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
The family moved to West
Windsor in 1988. They were one of
the first families to live in Princeton Oaks. “It was all farmland then,
and we could see Cranbury Golf
Club from the backyard,” Valenzuela says.
He entered 10th grade at WW-P
High School. “The open classroom
and team teaching concepts were
innovative and intriguing,” he says.
“There were no walls and no windows.” He was on the tennis and
cross country teams. Valenzuela
graduated in 1990 with the title of
best dressed in his yearbook.
During his junior year he developed a pneumothorax and was
rushed to Princeton Medical Center. After looking at schools near
and far, his brush with a medical
issue led to his decision to choose
Monmouth University. “It was the
perfect size and fit for me,” says
Valenzuela, who graduated with a
bachelor of arts in communication
with concentration in journalism
and public relations.
His brother, Victor, graduated
from WW-P High School in 1992.
He is a special agent for the FBI.
His sister, Vivian, graduated in
1994. She is an admissions counselor at Andover Prep School. All
three of them were counseled by
Gail Bruno during their high school
years.
His parents are now divorced,

and his father lives in New York.
His mother, Fleurdelys, still lives in
West Windsor.
Valenzuela was the assistant director of undergraduate admissions
at Villanova from 1998 to 2001. He
coordinated open house and recruitment events and was the director of multicultural recruitment.
From 2001 to 2008 he was the
director of admissions at Rutgers
Preparatory School, where he was
also the head coach for girls tennis.
After working as the director of
admission and enrollment management at Chestnut Hill Academy in
the Philadelphia area for four years,
Valenzuela took a job as director of
admission at Sierra Canyon School
in Chatsworth, California, from
2012 to 2013 and served on the financial aid committee. After pricing out plane tickets to visit his
family he decided it was time to return to the east coast.
Valenzuela now lives in the suburbs of Philadelphia with his wife,
Colleen, who works in pharmaceuticals. Their children are Andrew,
11; Gabrielle, 9; and Alexis, 5.

college counseling section of

expertise with the kids,” he says.

is pleased to honor Attitudes
In Reverse as a Golden Bell Leadership Award recipient. The Attitudes In Reverse co-founders Tricia, Kurt, and Katelyn Baker will
accept the award at the MHANJ’s
Evening of Excellence on Wednesday, June 18, at 6 p.m., at the
Shackamaxon Country Club in
Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Tickets
are $125.
“The founders of Attitudes In
Reverse have created a positive,
well-received approach toward
teaching young people about mental illness, educating 14,000 students in their first three years,” says
Carolyn Beauchamp, president and
CEO of the Mental Health Association in New Jersey. “We admire
their strength, dedication, and
heartfelt courage in using the experience of losing a loved one as the
impetus to help others, and their
dedication to breaking down stigma and saving lives.”
Attitudes In Reverse was established by Tricia, Kurt, and Katelyn
Baker of Plainsboro, in 2010, soon
after their son/brother, Kenny,
committed suicide following a
long battle against severe depression and anxiety. AIR’s threepronged approach includes “Coming Up for AIR,” an educational
program that uses Kenny’s story
and shares facts about mental illness to educate youth about good
mental health and suicide prevention in middle and high schools,
colleges, and universities in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont
“We are very proud of our
unique programs and our signature
focus on adolescents and young
adults, which we chose because 50
percent of mental health disorders
develop by age 14 and two-thirds
develop by age 24,” says Tricia
Baker. “We must be proactive because we are losing too many
young people. They need to know
that they are not alone, that help is

Singh Receives
Baker Scholarship
A
.I.R. has also been giving out
awards of its own. On June 5
the Baker family presented the
Kenny Baker Memorial Scholarship to Isha Singh, a senior at High
School North. The $500 award will
go toward Singh’s tuition at Williams College in Massachusetts,
where she is planning to study political economy.
“I became involved in AIR because an incident in my family led
me to want to understand mental
illness,” says Singh. “Through AIR
I have had the opportunity to talk to
people about the stigma of mental
illness, and I have had the chance to
raise money for the organization.”
Singh says she knows how mental illness can change the course of
a family’s life because a close family member of hers also took her
own life after struggling with depression for many years.
“For some time my family had a
hard time understanding why she
would have done such a thing and
how we were going to tell people,
so I decided that I wanted to understand more about the effect of mental illnesses and wanted to be part
of the process that eliminated its
stigma.”
Singh is especially engaged
with AIR’s efforts to reach out to
young people with programs that
educate and enlighten. “I think that
it is important for kids to understand that having a mental illness is
not uncommon. A lot of kids think
that they might have a problem but
don’t ask for help because they
don’t want people to find out they
have a therapist. What I have
learned through my experience is
that many of my friends have therapists for a varying range of issues
they are facing and that they feel
much better for having made the
decision to see someone.”
Singh’s father, Rana, works in
software development. Her mother, Namita, was a journalist and accountant and now is a stay-at-home
mom. She also used to be the coowner and editor of an online Ezine called “Views Unplugged”
which featured many articles about
mental illness.
The Singhs moved to Plainsboro
in 1995. Isha attended Wicoff,
Town Center, Millstone River, and
Community Middle schools.
Singh says organizations like
AIR are making a difference, but
there is more work to be done.
“Seeking help has less stigma
than it has had in the past; however
it still exists heavily. People should
never be afraid to get help and people should understand that even a
little bit of help from a professional
can mean the difference between
life or death.”

Looking Back
A
bout a decade ago a hot
topic in West Windsor was
the “Millstone Bypass.”
This was a road that was proposed
as part of some of the early ideas
for alleviating traffic congestion in
Penns Neck at the Route 1-Washington Road circle. The idea was to
modify or eliminate the circle and
reroute some of the traffic that now
uses Washington Road to enter
Princeton. The concept was also intended to fit in with one of the ideas
for redeveloping the so-called
“blighted” area on Washington
Road near the train station.
The rerouted traffic would, in
fact, never use Washington Road
on the west side of the tracks. Instead, it would follow a new road
that would leave the railroad overpass and follow a course east of
Washington Road through the
(then) Sarnoff property diagonally
toward an intersection with Route
1 at Harrison Street. Although
some distance away, part of it
would parallel the Millstone River,
and it was thus referred to as the
Millstone Bypass. (Some people
also referred to it as the Penns Neck
bypass.)
It would feed some traffic to
Harrison Street, but the main
branch on the Princeton side of
Route 1 would cut across university property and rejoin Washington
Road near Lake Carnegie. It sounds
complicated, but it was a workable
idea, and the state thought it would
work. Much of the congestion at
the traffic circle would be eliminated. If you wanted to drive to
Princeton from West Windsor on
Washington Road you still could
the way you do now, but it would be
quicker to take the new road, which
would bypass Penns Neck completely. Also, south-bound traffic
on Route 1 could still enter Princeton on Washington Road.
One little-mentioned byproduct
of that bypass idea was the extra
traffic that would have been added
to Harrison Street, which was then
and still is just a two-lane road for
much of its length. It also traverses
a residential area, with houses and
sidewalks close to the road. How
that would have been handled if it
became a major route for entering
Princeton from the south is hard to
imagine.
After much discussion over
problems that some people mentioned such as possible environmental effects on the Millstone
River, negative effects on archeological sites (stone arrowheads had
been found in the area), the loss of
several elm trees, inconvenience

for commuters, and others (not to
mention cost), the plan for this road
was scrapped.
There was also much discussion
about whether or not the new road
would fit in with the plan to “redevelop” the station area with new
high-density housing and commercial sites. Then other ideas came
along, including the recent fruitless
experiment to eliminate the jughandles at the Route 1 circle.
Another variation that was mentioned was the lowering of the
Route 1 roadway on both sides of
Penns Neck so it would pass below
Washington Road where the circle
is now. This would have involved
the building of a temporary bypass
road next to Route 1 and four connectors to allow turns between
Washington Road and Route 1, as
well as an overpass on Washington
Road. It would also have meant
that some buildings in the area
would have had to be torn down.
Variations on the ‘Millstone Bypass’ have been
proposed since the
1930s. So far none has
been built.
The Penns Neck Baptist Church
would have had to have its foundation strengthened.
But long before the Millstone
Bypass, there were other bypass
ideas, probably going back at least
to the 1930s. To their advocates
they would have benefited both
Princeton and West Windsor as
well as Plainsboro and would have
changed the way of traveling between the communities in a drastic
way. Who knows, they might have
eliminated Princeton Junction as a
major commuter rail station, and
changed the way West Windsor and
other communities have made the
transition from farmland to residential land use.
I first learned about an early version of this idea in 1947, when, as a
student at Princeton I was attending a lecture in McCosh 50, a large
university lecture hall that overlooks Washington Road in Princeton as it approaches Prospect Avenue. In those days, before air conditioning and electronic amplification, when the day was warm you
opened the windows to cool down
and let air circulate, and, if you
were lecturing, you had to depend
on only your own voice to be heard.
Occasionally, a large truck
would start up the slight grade from

Nassau Street and approach Prospect Avenue. As it passed the open
windows of McCosh 50 the noise
inside could be deafening, especially if it was one of the really old
trucks that had solid rubber tires
and a very low-tech muffler. The
lecturer had no choice but to stop
talking until the truck had passed.
On more than one occasion when
this happened I remember the lecturer saying — after the truck had
passed — “We won’t have to put up
with that much longer after they
build the bypass.”
Bypass of what? I later learned
that a Princeton bypass road had
been under discussion even then
for many years. The idea was to
have a road that branched off of
what is now Route 206 to the east,
well north of Princeton. The new
road would then go through the area east of Kingston — most of
which was undeveloped farmland
at the time — and intersect Route 1
well north of what is now the Princeton circle, missing West Windsor
and Plainsboro completely.
Thus all the heavy south-bound
traffic on Route 206 that now goes
through downtown Princeton —
some of which then goes through
West Windsor on its way to Route
130 and the NJ Turnpike — would
be gone. Of course, that road may
not have had a major effect on the
local West Windsor traffic of today,
but it would probably have changed
the way residential development in
the area proceeded, maybe even for
the better. Who knows, maybe the
main commuter station in the area
would have ended up being “Monmouth” instead of “Princeton”
Junction. The connection between
the main railroad line and the Dinky would not have been eliminated,
but commuters would have had another option.
Over the years since that early
idea the most important change has
been the building of the New Jersey
Turnpike in the early 1950s. The
emphasis shifted from how to
avoid local congestion to how to
get more traffic to the turnpike.
Eventually, this resulted — about a
decade ago — in a plan to build
what was to be called Route 92.
That road would have started at
Route 1 well north of Penns Neck
at the intersection with Ridge
Road. It would then have headed
east across parts of Plainsboro to
cross Route 130 and join the turnpike at Exit 8A. Debate over various alignments of Route 92 went
on for many years. It, like the other
proposed bypasses, will probably
never be built.
