also running for three open spots on
the West Windsor-Plainsboro
Board of Education. Four vied for

running: Louisa Ho from West
Windsor, and A.G. “Mani” Manikandan from Plainsboro.
Ho won reelection, receiving
2,855 votes, although her unofficial running mate, Rakesh Kak,
who received 2,432 votes, was not
elected. Instead, Scott Powell, who
had run twice before for the board,
won the second West Windsor slot,
receiving 2,967 votes, the highest
for any school board candidate.
The fourth West Windsor contender, Yingchao Zhang, received 1,553
votes.
West Windsor’s newcomer to
the board, Powell, ran for the board
unsuccessfully in 2010 and 2011.
But on his third attempt he received
the most votes of any of the school
board candidates. He earned a
bachelor of science in mechanical
engineering from Carnegie Mellon
University and an MBA from the
University of Southern California.
In his response to the WW-P News’
candidates’forum, Powell described himself as a product manager at Prudential Financial, who
“manages revenues and expenses
and cultivates long-term customer
relationships” and “excels at ensuring the delivery of high-quality service to both the institutions that

his year’s Mayor and Town
Council election in West
Windsor was one for the history books. While incumbent Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh won re-election
over opponents Hemant Marathe
and Rick Visovsky, his running
mates, Kamal Khanna and Eric
Payne, did not win seats on the
council. Instead, Marathe’s running mates, Linda Geevers and Peter Mendonez, won the council
election. Visovsky and running
mates Martin Whitfield and Debra
Hepler placed third in both elections.
Reactions at both the Marathe
and Hsueh after-election parties
were mixed, as the numbers were
reported to both teams. At times,
people shook their heads and won-

dered if there had been a mistake in
how then numbers had been tallied,
because the results were so unusual. But, in the end, both teams finally agreed on one thing: The results of the election were most
likely due to the way the ballot was
configured this year.
The ballots for local candidates
were quite confusing, because the
mayoral candidates were not
aligned with their council running
mates (see story at right). Hsueh
was listed first, but his running
mates were not listed beneath him;
instead, Geevers and Mendonez
were. Likewise, Visovsky was listed second, and Khanna and Payne
fell beneath him; and Marathe had
the final slot on the line for mayor,
with Whitfield and Hepler placed
beneath his name.
The results were as follows. For
mayor: Hsueh (incumbent) 3,257,
Marathe 2,778, Visovsky 684.
For council: Geevers (incumbent) 3,011, Mendonez 2,556;

Was the Ballot an Election Factor?
A
nyone walking into a West
Windsor voting booth on election day this year would have seen
a section clearly labeled with the
names of the three mayoral candidates and the six town council candidates. The names were arranged
in three vertical columns from left
to right.
The first column showed incumbent mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh on
top, and below him incumbent
Council member Linda Geevers
and candidate Peter Mendonez.
The middle column showed
mayoral candidate Rick Visovsky
on top, with Kamal Khanna and
Eric Payne below him.
The column on the right had
mayoral
candidate
Hemant
Marathe at top with Debra Hepler
and Martin Whitfield below him.
WW-P’s Free Community neWsPaPer
Three columns, three slates, you
might think. But you would be incorrect. In fact, the candidates for
council were all separated from the
mayoral running mates on the ballot. Hsueh’s running mates were
below Visovsky. Marathe’s running mates were below Hsueh. And
Visovsky’s running mates were below Marathe.
How could this have happened?
It was neither an error nor an act of
political chicanery. The ballot is
controlled by the state; and, according to state election laws, candidates are placed on the ballot according to the job title. Under West
Windsor’s form of mayor/council
government, “Mayor” is one title;
“Council is another.” So they are

want to congratulate Shing-Fu
Hsueh, Linda Geevers, and Peter Mendonez on their election.
It was a pleasure meeting so many
residents of West Windsor who
took the time to discuss various issues with us. I learned a lot and had
an opportunity to meet some very
nice people. The election for most
part was based on issues.
I hope the mayor and new council will work together to do things
that are in the best interest of West
Windsor. I wish them luck.

ERE WE GO AGAIN! I am a West
Windsor resident for 24 years
and not at all happy with the reelection of the mayor. We can look
forward to higher taxes for the
homeowning residents, more traffic, more house, more kids in our
schools. We live in a beautiful area
and more and more land is being
used for houses, etc. We can be forward thinking of more of the same
old thing. We should be balancing
the budget, not spending.

Bothered by Ballots
I
found it disturbing that the West
Windsor candidates for council
were not listed in a “line” type vote
pattern under their nayoral candidate running mates on the November 5 ballot. I believe this might
have caused numerous mis-votes.
The choices for governor were
clearly listed with their running
mate teams in the familiar “line”
type fashion. It’s what the voting
public has become conditioned to
see over the years. This usually
makes it very easy to “vote the
line” for your candidate and their
running mates.
The way our mayoral candidates
were listed — separately from their
running mates — purposely or not,
made it extremely misleading if
you simply voted “down the line”
for the mayor, assuming, like the
gubernatorial candidates, you were
voting for his running mates too.
I’m sure more than a few voters
fell into this trap and mistakenly
voted for people they had no intention of voting for by simply “voting
down the line.”
Yes, of course there is no excuse
for any voting errors seeing that the
ballot had been mailed out long before November 5, giving each voter
enough time to look it over and see
where their candidate choices appeared. This should have ensured
voters would hit the proper “X” behind that voting curtain.
It should have, but I don’t think
it did.
I find it curious that both candidates — Linda Geevers and Peter

t’s happened again: another
shooting in another public
place. Six weeks after the mall
shootings in Kenya and only a couple of days after the shooting at the
Los Angeles airport, this time, a
lone gunman firing random bullets
through the largest mall in New
Jersey. Though armed to kill, this
shooter chose not to turn his gun on
others, only himself.
Katie and I had been at a mall in
northern New Jersey earlier that
day, not very far from this mall,
where another young man with an
unknown agenda turned an ordinary day into terror for hundreds of
people. With the holiday shopping
season pretty much already here, I
made a mental note to try to do
most of my shopping online this
year. It’s not that I’m letting the
events of the world change who I
am and the way I do things. But
then again, if I am really honest,
maybe I am. I don’t love shopping
to begin with, and malls during the
holidays are a challenge, but all of
these recent images of random violence at places that are supposed to
be happy and innocent are making
me rethink.
Am I paranoid? Maybe a little
bit. Realistic? Absolutely. You
can’t be scared of the world and
hide from it. This is not the lesson
we want to teach our children by
example. But you can take certain
precautions and if avoiding certain
public places at certain times
makes sense, I’ll be the first to follow.
For example, Times Square on
New Year’s Eve has never held any
appeal for me, even in my younger
days when partying with just a few
thousands of my closest friends
should have been a big draw. Bill
takes it even a step further, choosing to walk to his office uptown
from Penn Station in a roundabout
way that takes him out of the thick
of the Times Square hustle and bustle.

We used to go out to the movies
— a lot. These days, not so much.
Certainly, the easy availability of
movies for a heck of a lot less money on Netflix and the like has removed much of the necessity of
going to a hot, crowded theater to
pay outrageous prices. But there’s
something about the movie theater
shootings in Aurora, Colorado, that
hit too close to home. It has to do
with the universality of the moviegoing experience that makes us all
understand and empathize with the
people who were like sitting ducks
in their seats that night.
In just a few weeks we will be
marking the one-year anniversary
of one of the most horrific events in
my memory — the killings at the

and treatment. The Newtown
shooter, Adam Lanza, was 20 years
old. So was the Paramus mall
shooter, Richard Shoop. Paul Ciancia, the alleged Los Angeles shooter, who coincidentally had southern New Jersey ties, is only 23.
Three young men, all with some
sort of societal rage and self-destructive bent determining their actions toward their fellow human
beings. Each one troubled with
their pent-up violence somehow
missed by those closest to them.
The mall shootings in Kenya
were different because it is apparent that they were orchestrated by
terrorists and politically motivated.
But when there are too many guns
and not enough resources to deal
with people who clearly need help,
schools and public places can become a place where the sad and
lonely carry out their most violent
fantasies. Case in point: the recent
school shooting in Nevada where a
seventh grader killed a teacher before killing himself.
Here in New Jersey, family and
friends of the young man who terrorized trapped shoppers for hours
before turning his gun on himself
are struggling with the why of his
last moments on earth. While it’s
reported that he was working out
some issues in his life, most who
knew him say he was well liked, a
nice guy. But lately, it seems, it’s
the nice guys, those you would
least expect, who are picking up
guns and creating terror and havoc.
The election this week has put in
place a new crop of legislators and
given incumbents a mandate. At
the top of their lists should be giving more time, money, and attention to gun control and mental illness and where these two issues
intersect. It is the only way to find
out why so many young people are
giving up on their lives and finding
the ultimate answer at the end of a
gun, often taking innocent lives
with them.
Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Newtown, Connecticut. The school
itself is no more — razed to the
ground so that all that is left will be
dust, hallowed ground, and the
memory of the 20 children and six
school staff who were gunned
down that day.
However, one year and many
tears later, nothing has really
changed on the national landscape
regarding guns or mental illness.
Simply put: guns are too often accessible to the people who would
most harm themselves or others.
While gun laws could and should
be more strict, in some cases, as in
the case of Sandy Hook where Adam Lanza took guns legitimately
bought and registered to his mother, they are irrelevant.

lease do not think of me as a
sore loser but the residents of
West Windsor deserve to know
what transpired on November 5.
We are taught from the time we are
18 to vote in the same column if
you want to support “the person on
top,” in our case Mayor Hsueh. Unfortunately for Kamal Khanna and
me we were not under Mayor
Hsueh but in fact below a candidate
who ended up with 770 votes.
The numbers paint a pretty clear
picture. Rich Visovsky ended up
with 770 total votes but being under Hemant Marathe, his team ended up with 1,346 and 1,240. Nothing against any of them but did almost twice the number of voters
really decide to not vote for Rich
but vote for his team?
That being said, did 1,050 of the
mayor’s supporters mean to vote
for him but NOT Kamal and me
since we ended up with over 1,000
votes less than the Mayor? Would
1,000+ voters, approximately onethird of his total vote, intentionally
vote for his opposition? I highly
doubt it, which is why this ballot
must be called into question and
people should have their true intent
heard.
What is the point of having an
election if the people do not end up
with who they thought they voted
for? If you look at all of the districts
individually you will notice a common theme. Linda Geevers and Peter Mendonez end up with roughly
the same number of votes as Mayor
Hsueh, whom they were immediately below, and Kamal and I have
roughly one-third less. Further,
Martin Whitfield and Debra Hepler
ended up with approximately onethird more votes than their mayoral
running mate Rick Visovsky. This
is not a coincidence and shows approximately one-third of the people voting potentially were misled
by the ballot.
I am positive the majority of
people would not agree with the
way the ballot was set up. Without
a doubt it influenced the outcome.
Do the residents want to be represented by people they didn’t mean
to elect?
Again, I am not being a sore loser and if this was a legitimate loss I
would be the first to say congratulations, but it is not what the residents of West Windsor asked for.
So I have to speak up. The numbers
make it very clear West Windsor

Mehno Recognized
for Small Business
V
eronica Mehno, a West Windsor resident and founder of
LM Language Services, is the recipient of the 2013 Best of Manhattan Award. “This is a very prestigious award, and it is a recognition
of our hard work and dedication,”
she says about the company located in Carnegie Center. “This award
means that even being a small business owner, dedication, sacrifice,
and perseverance pays off.”
Her husband, Christopher
Mehno, a lawyer at Windels Marx,
specializes in corporate and malpractice litigation. They met in
Manhattan in 2005 and were married in 2007.
With an MBA in finance from
Boston University, she was working very long hours at HSBC.
“When the financial crisis came
around, I was juggling work with
doctor’s appointments for infertility, and it was just too much,” she
says. The couple agreed that she
should start her own company.
“Chris is always in need of an
interpreter so I decided to go down
that path,” she says. Mehno registered at Hunter College to get her
certificate as an interpreter and
translator from Spanish into English and vice versa. She also became accredited as an interpreter
by the New York State Unified
Court System. LM Language Services (Language Management,
Language Services) was incorporated in 2009.
“Chris and I were happy living
in New York, but when Matthew
was born we knew we needed to
move to a more spacious place,”
she says. “We wanted a place where
diversity is welcome and embraced
and where Chris could commute.
West Windsor was the perfect combination as it had great schools, it is
diverse, and it is only one hour
away from New York City.” They
moved to West Windsor in 2010.
Matthew, now 3, attends pre-K
at Millstone River School in the
WW-P Community Education program. Their twins, Sophia Marie
and Aidan John, are 20 months
old.
“I could not have been happier
in moving my family from Manhattan to Princeton Junction,” she
says. “My three kids love it and
cannot get enough of running
around and playing.”
“I am the type of person that I
want my clients to be happy with
my service all the time,” she says.
“I am aware that in this modern
world the apps are the in thing now,
but I am very old school and I believe in talking to the client and
custom making a plan according to
their needs.” Visit www.lmlangaugeservices.com.

P
rinceton Endoscopy Center at
731 Alexander Road in West
Windsor was recognized by the
New Jersey Association of Ambulatory Surgery Centers as an out-

standing healthcare facility. “I
could not be more proud of our center, the care is outstanding,” says
Dr. Robert Meirowitz, a West
Windsor resident and medical director of the center. “The talented
physicians, nurses, and technicians
are some of the best in the area.”
The center opened eight years ago.
Tricia Baker:
Woman of Worth
T
ricia Baker of Plainsboro cofounded Attitudes in Reverse
along with her husband Kurt and
daughter Katelyn soon after they
lost their son/brother Kenny to suicide. Their mission is to save lives
by educating teenagers and young
adults about mental health, related
disorders, and suicide prevention.
Baker’s efforts have now been
recognized through L’Oreal Paris’
Women of Worth awards, which go
to “women who are true to themselves and their passion of making
a difference in their communities.”
Baker, as an honoree, will receive a
$10,000 donation for AIR. She is
now one of 10 finalists for a grand
prize of $25,000. Votes may be
submitted daily through Wednes-

day, November 20, at www.
TriciaBaker.com.
“We are a 100 percent volunteer
organization, and I am proud of
what we’ve accomplished in just
three years with our limited financial resources,” Baker said. “We
are thrilled and very grateful for
this recognition and financial support from L’Oreal, which will help
us make much more progress toward eliminating stigma and ensuring that all young people with mental health disorders receive treatment so they can live healthy and
successful lives. We are excited
about the possibility of receiving
significantly more funding, which
would enable us to do so much
more both locally and beyond our
state borders — and even throughout the nation.”
The funding will enable AIR to
educate many more students with
its classroom presentation and its
new “In Their Shoes” exhibit,
which is designed to build empathy
for young people who experience
mental and emotional struggles;
train more dogs to be emotional
support animals and match them
with individuals with psychiatric
and other disabilities through the
AIR Dogs: Paws for Minds program; expand its Annual Miki &
Friends Walk & Run for AIR event;
and exhibit at other community
events to build more awareness of
mental health and suicide prevention, as well as awareness of AIR as
a resource.
“While other nonprofit organizations that focus on mental health
provide valuable education, support, and other services, AIR is
unique in its proactive and preventive approach. Tricia strategically
focuses on the 14 to 24-year age
group, based on the fact that this
population is most vulnerable to
the development of mental health
disorders and risk of suicidal
thoughts and behaviors,” wrote
Shauna Moses, member of AIR’s

Last spring proceeds from the
orchestra’s Ocean Grove concert
were donated to support the shore
region after the devastation caused
by Hurricane Sandy. This year the
Philharmonia, besides performing
for a historic event, will be donating the proceeds of these concerts
to the Wounded Warriors Project to
support wounded men and women
from our armed forces.
The orchestra’s repertoire for
both concerts is extensive. Clare
Grundman’s “The Blue and the
Gray” and Jerry Bilik’s “American
Civil War Fantasy” are compilations of Civil War songs from both
the North and the South.
Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” features sections of Lincoln’s
speeches and letters. A newly composed work by Andrew Gabczynski, “Lincoln at Gettysburg,” describes the trip Lincoln made to
Gettysburg, and includes the entire
address. Narrating for this work
will be Robert Peterson, the orchestra director from Grover Middle School, whose ancestor was
Senator Edward Everett, the keynote speaker immediately preceding Lincoln that day.
“American Salute” by Morton
Gould, based on “When Johnny
Comes Marching Home”, “Ashokan Farewell” from the PBS Civil
War Series, and Wilhousky’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic” will
complete the concert.
Tickets for the events are $10. Email [email protected] for

purchased at the doors.

At one point during the evening,
as the results were coming in,
Geevers noted, “Both teams
[Marathe and Hsueh] did a good
job trying to explain the ballot to
potential voters. We all really tried.
There wasn’t much more that we
could have done.”
While giving his victory speech,
Hsueh also commented on the results. “This victory is truly bittersweet for me. While I am very
grateful to have won, I feel terrible
about the fact that my running
mates did not. But we will continue
to move forward together.”
“And, there is something else I
want to say,” he added. “People
have asked me about my relationship with Hemant after this election. We are friends, we respect
each other, and have always
worked well together. That will not
change. I will continue to have a
positive relationship with Hemant,
and with his running mates Linda
and Peter. We all work for the town
and the residents.”

he fact that there were three
complete tickets running for
mayor and council this year certainly added to the mix. The Visovsky slate, which announced its
candidacy before either of the other
two slates, certainly was one factor
in the final outcome. The last time a
“third party” candidate competed
in West Windsor, the impact was
slight. In 2009 Pete Weale received
just 175 votes, making only a small
dent in Hsueh’s 2,266-vote margin
over challenger Charlie Morgan.

Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron: Holiday Travel With Children
O
ver the river and through
the woods to grandmother’s house we go. During
this time of year, we plan and
prepare for our family visits, festive meals and gift-giving, and
forget one of the most important
things - preparing for holiday
travel with children. Whether you
are driving or flying to your holiday destinations, be prepared
with these helpful travel tips.
Plan, plan and plan. It’s never
too early to plan for what you
will need, to get to and at your
holiday destination.
Driving? Get directions
ahead of time. Cars these days
are loaded with a GPS system.
If yours does not have one, get
one. Check weather and road
conditions for any delays or
closed roads. Pack the car with
plenty of mobile toys, movies,
snacks and drinks. Plot out rest
stops.
Flying? The best time to
fly with the little ones is in the
morning or around their nap
time. Shoot for direct flights if
possible. If you can, grab a bulk
seat for the extra leg room or
upgrade your seat to one. This
is important if you plan on a car
seat in flight. Decide on how
many suitcases to pack. This is
essential when there is a hefty
charge for checked bags.
Visiting family? Get Aunts
and Uncles to purchase baby
needs like diapers, milk and
baby essentials. Download or
rent your kids’ favorite movies
and music. Pack the ever so
loved stuff animal and blankets.
Make sure you pack all the
necessary chargers for all the
electronics.
Packing. It never fails. You
always end up forgetting something that is of major importance
in your child’s happy stay at
grandma’s house. Creating a list
and organizing is key. Pack in
advance. Always pack a carryon bag filled with must items just
in case your luggage is lost or
delayed.
Entertainment. “Are we there
yet?” is a common questions by
everyone- old or young. If driving, play car BINGO or Geography. If flying, take tablets, iPods
and portable DVD’s loaded with
all their favorites. With the new
FAA rules you will be able to
keep these devices playing from
takeoff to landing.
Traveling is taxing on everyone no matter what their age.
During your trip, talk to your
little ones about what they are
going to experience. Who they
are going to see. And what they
are going to do once they arrive.
A little preparation can result in

placed independently of each other.
But there’s more: under state
law the placement of each job title
in a non-partisan election is literally controlled by “the luck of the
draw.” The Township Clerk places
each job title in a hat, mayoral candidates in the first round, and council candidates in the second round,
and the order of each is determined
by which is picked first, second,
and third. So this year Hsueh was
picked to be placed first on the ballot in the “mayor” category, but
Geevers/Mendonez were picked
first in the “council” category.
The result: A surprisingly strong
showing by Mendonez, the youngest candidate (at 29) and the newest
resident (he moved to town in
2012), who gained a seat on council over incumbent Khanna. Hsueh,
who has had strong coattails in
prior elections, may this time have
assisted opposing candidates,
Geevers and Mendonez.
How can it be avoided in the future? According to the County
Clerk’s office, the only way to ensure that the candidates are lined
up with their running mates is to
change the government from nonpartisan to partisan. Township attorney Mike Herbert explained,
“The township could choose to become a partisan government while
maintaining the current Mayor/
Council structure. However, the
issue would have to be decided by
voter referendum.”
Herbert (and also Marathe) noted that this was the first year that all
municipal elections were in November, rather than April, which
resulted in a crowded ballot, potentially further confusing voters.
The bottom line is that voters
needed to know the names of the
people they intended to vote for. In
this election, voting “down the
line” simply did not work.

challenger Matthew Greenberg
made a respectable showing.
Ed Yates tallied the most votes
with 2,154, and fellow Democrat
David Bander followed close behind with 2,113. The 18-year-old
Greenberg received 1,359 votes.
Greenberg is the second young

n New Jersey’s 14th legislative
district, incumbent state senator
and Plainsboro resident Linda
Greenstein declared victory over
Republican Peter Inverso of Hamilton. State-wide redistricting,
which added Republican-leaning
Hamilton Township to Greenstein’s district, made for a close
race: unofficial counts showed
Greenstein the winner by just
1,240 votes — 30,999 to 29,759.
Inverso has not yet conceded the
race to Greenstein. In remarks
made on election night he said he
woud never concede or congratulate her because of the negative
campaign she ran against him. At
press time, the Inverso campaign
was considering seeking a recount,
citing districts where the vote count
differed greatly from what was expected.
Police Updates
P
lainsboro residents can now file
police reports without having to
call or visit police headquarters. An
online reporting system launched
October 2 allows residents to reports incidents of vandalism, theft,
and other crimes via the “Online
Services” section of www.plainsboronj.com. Reports are reviewed
by officers, who then take further
action as needed.
Residents who prefer to make
reports the old-fashioned way —
over the phone or in person — can
still do so. Those who use the online system will be able to print the
report before it is submitted to police.
In a statement, Deputy Mayor
Neil Lewis explained that the new
system “will allow officers additional time to address community
needs while keeping pace with the
public’s expectations for public
services.”
The police department is also
developing a paperless citation system to reduce the need for paper
files and improve efficiency. “Eticketing” will allow officers to file
and track citations by computer.
Elected: Ed Yates, left,

Final Renovation
N
ovo Nordisk has submitted
plans to renovate the final
230,000 square feet of its
710,000-square-foot headquarters
at 800 Scudders Mill Road.
The project, which will not affect the building’s exterior, is
scheduled for completion in 2014.
The expansion will allow all Novo
Nordisk employees to work in the
same building. Before moving to
Scudders Mill Road, the company
had occupied four buildings in
Plainsboro. The company currently
operates at Scudders Mill Road and
1100 Campus Road in Forrestal
Center.
The Danish diabetes researcher
moved into the building — formerly occupied by Merrill Lynch and
BlackRock — in summer, 2012,
after a $225 million renovation.

in 2011 and 2012.
“Mary has provided a high level
of professionalism and customer

Holiday Drive
P
lainsboro’s Department of Recreation & Community Services
offers residents several chances to
give back this holiday season.
In coordination with the Plainsboro Food Pantry and Queenship of
Mary Church, a gift drive will help
fulfill holiday wishes. The recreation department will have wish
tags available in late November
and early December for individuals
or companies to fulfill wishes. Donations of cash and gift cards will
also be accepted and used to complete unfulfilled wishes. Gifts must
be submitted by Monday, December 16.
The township is also hosting a
food drive in November and December. Non-perishable items will
be collected at the Plainsboro Municipal Building, Plainsboro Recreation and Cultural Center, and
Plainsboro Public Library. Call

ike many small business,
Plainsboro Rescue Squad requires basic supplies — such
as paper and toner cartridges — to
do its job. Unlike most small business, however, the Rescue Squad’s
emergency ambulance services are
free. Luke Xu, owner of Printing
Supplies USA at 666 Plainsboro
Road, is doing his part to help the
nonprofit by donating tonger cartridges and printer drums to the
squad.
“Earlier this year someone from
the Rescue Squad stopped by to introduce the organization and ask
for a possible donation,” says Xu.
“The flyer they distributed appeared to be from an inferior cartridge they used, which might have
been a cheap one bought online. As
a company in this business, we are
definitely in a position to help.”
This year’s donation is part of a
pledge to donate printing supplies
as they’re needed. Chris Bell, president of the squad, is more than
happy to accept them.
“On behalf of the 90 rescue
squad volunteers and the people we
serve, I want to thank Printing Supplies USA owner Luke Xu for the
donation,” says Bell. “This support
means so much more than the monetary value of the toner — it’s the
removal of that cost item from our
financials completely. It’s the relief
and freedom of not having to find
that particular money each year to
buy printer supplies.”
“We spend a significant amount
of our time fundraising for the
squad,” says Bell. “The benefits of
Luke’s donation are twofold: the
direct financial savings, which will
amount to hundreds of dollars a
year, and the fact that we can focus
our fundraising efforts in other areas.”
The Rescue Squad is a 501(c)3
nonprofit organization, and donations are tax deductible. In addition
to cash donations the squad’s list of
needed goods includes office supplies, computer support, bottles of
water, food, drinks, and printing
paper. Services needed include
sewing of patches and repairs,
painting, landscaping, banking,
bookkeeping, electrical, legal, and
cleaning services, basic mechanical work, and cell phone service.
According the squad’s website,
the group requires $150,000 to
$200,000 per year to operate effectively. Plainsboro Township makes
an annual contribution of $60,000,
and the remainder comes through
donations from individuals and
corporations. Among other expenses, the Plainsboro Rescue
Squad is responsible for acquiring
and maintaining the ambulances
and other equipment used by the
paid Plainsboro Township EMS.
Because most infrastructure is
paid by the Rescue Squad, the EMS
have only around $5,000 per year

in expenses, excluding salaries and
wages, which in 2013 were budgeted at $195,500 for three fulltime EMTs. Unlike the Rescue
Squad, the Township EMS charge
for ambulance services and generated just over $145,300 of revenue
in 2012.
The Rescue Squad is entirely
operated and managed by its unpaid volunteers. Started in 1974 by
a group of Plainsboro residents,
“for decades, the Plainsboro Rescue Squad was the only ambulance
service in Plainsboro,” Bell explains. The Plainsboro Township
EMS now take calls on weekdays
from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with back-up
provided by Rescue Squad members as needed. The Rescue Squad
still covers all nights and weekends.
“Luke understands how hard it
can be to run a volunteer organization in our spare time,” says Bell.
“He’s done what he can to help us
continue to provide our medical

service to Plainsboro. It’s like a
family sharing the load, sharing the
effort and responsibility. Luke’s
business is now part of our family.”
Xu and his daughter, a fourthgrader at Millstone River School,
have lived in Plainsboro for threeand-a-half years. “I had already
started my business here in Plainsboro. At first I was based in the former Plainsboro library, but as my
company started to grow, I moved
to our current location. We now
service many state and local governments and other large customers. Customer service is our top
priority,” says Xu, “but helping out
the local community is very important to me as well.”
“I decided to move here because
of the school system, and because
Plainsboro is a wonderful town. As
a business owner, I am happy to
help local organizations, especially
one as important as the Rescue
Squad. I try to volunteer my time as
well. Last year I served as the vice
principal of the Huaxia Chinese
School here in Plainsboro, which
serves approximately 600 families,
and recently I also joined the Princeton Chamber of Commerce,
which has a Plainsboro section,”
says Xu.
Xu’s daughter is also invovled in
the community. She studies kung
fu with Master Zhang Jun Zhao and
has participated in Chinese New
Year galas at High School South
and Huaxua. She has also performed in WW-P’s Got Talent. “I
am very proud of her commitment,” Xu says.
“The members of the Rescue
Squad that asked me for a donation
had the same type of commitment.
They were high schools students,
accompanied by their team leader.
They were very polite, very wellspoken, and clearly dedicated.
That’s one of the main reasons I decided to donate printing services,”
Xu explains.
Last year the Rescue Squad put
in 19,164 hours to respond to more
than 800 calls for help from the
community. It’s that kind of commitment that inspired Xu’s donation. “I admire people who contribute their time and efforts to giving
back to the community and make
where we live a better place,” Xu
says.
Though he’s not driving an ambulance, Xu and Printing Supplies
USA are doing their part to help.
Other businesses or individuals interested donating money, goods, or
services should E-mail office@
PlainsboroRescueSquad.org
or
visit
www.PlainsboroRescueSquad.org.
“If every business in Plainsboro
donated some goods, such as a
ream or two of paper, it would save
us thousands of dollars. That would
really help us with our mission to
provide quality emergency services to the residents of Plainsboro,”
Bell says.

THE NEWS
NOVEMBER 8, 2013
To The Editor: Focus
on News, Not Opinion
I
am trying to understand the point of
Sue Roy’s grossly editorialized front
page article in the October 25 WW-P
News: “No Halloween for Hawk
School.” From the facts she provides,
there WAS a Hawk Halloween event being held on October 26: a parade and
concert. Yet it appears that Ms. Roy has
decided to use her access to a news forum to bemoan that said Halloween
event — at a school her children do not
attend — is being held on a day that she
doesn’t like. As a Hawk parent, I was
pleased when I learned of the Saturday
event because my husband could now
join the family in creating the “lasting
memories” that Ms. Roy presents as the
crux of her issue.
Having the luxury of being a stay-athome mom, I have attended the traditional Hawk parade for the past four
years and here are some “lasting memories” that I have seen. I’ve seen parents
in full business dress run across the
field, frantically trying to be seen so
their child will know that they were
there. I’ve also talked with guilt-ridden
parents who got held at the office unexpectedly as well as those who had to
“sneak out” of their office only to miss
their child’s class walk by. Several times
I’ve had friends who can’t miss work
call me in a panic to ask if I could cheer
for their child and take pictures because
their child had spent the morning crying
because mom or dad couldn’t attend.
I’ve also seen children without costumes dejectedly walking alongside
costumed classmates. Perhaps they
don’t have their costume for a different
reason but one of the “lasting memories” I have is the year my daughter’s
costume didn’t make it to pre-school because I was in a rush to catch an earlier
morning train so I could justify leaving
work early to take her trick-or-treating.
Each year I’ve also noticed that majority of attending parents are those such
as myself whose work status or job location affords them the possibility of attending a 20-minute mid-day event. Ms.
Roy, if you are going to editorialize,
why not state: Hawk’s New Saturday
Halloween Program Allows More Parents to Create Lasting Memories With
Their Children? Or, better yet, commend Hawk’s administration, teachers,
and PTA members for giving up their
free Saturday hours to host a bigger, better, and more inclusive event.
Though if Ms. Roy is really worried
about families not having “lasting memories,” she could recommend readers
look at the day-by-day events in the
same issue of the WW-P News. In the
upcoming days are no fewer than 25
Halloween-specific events.
Finally, and what was perhaps most
disappointing, WW-P News allowed a
writer’s emotional viewpoint to take
precedence over the only newsworthy
item in the article: security issues. Instead Ms. Roy trivializes the issue by
saying “Likely security concerns played
some part.” In the future I hope WW-P
News will place pieces like these in the
Views & Opinions section and save real
news for the front page.
Eileen Azzara
Hawk Parent
EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Richard K. Rein
responds: Judging by Eileen Azzara’s
description of frantic, guilt-ridden parents, and crying and dejected children,
Halloween at Hawk sounds like a major
activity. Changing the event to a nonschool day, and limiting it to children
whose parents are able to accompany
them, sounds like a valid news story.
The story was originally scheduled
for the October 11 issue. But when Sue
Roy was unable to obtain a comment
from the principal we postponed it for
two weeks. At that point, with the principal still declining to comment and the
district providing only a guarded statement (which we quoted in our October
25 article), I decided to run the story
with the facts that we had. I also moved
the story from inside to page one.
Like everyone else, reporters are informed partly by their life experiences.
Sue Roy was a Hawk School parent for
five years, and is entitled to her observation about “lasting memories.” As a parent myself, I wonder if the observance
of the Halloween “holiday” has become
a hindrance to classroom activities. If
either the principal or the district chooses to respond, space will be available.

“Taylor” Zhong won the election with 1,451 votes, upsetting
incumbent Manikandan, who
received 1,341 votes. After losing the last election to current
Plainsboro board member
Rachelle Feldman Hurwitz,
Manikandan had been appointed to the board to fill a vacancy
when Ellen Walsh resigned and
moved from Plainsboro.
Zhong, the newcomer to the
board from Plainsboro, was one
of the residents who put his
name in contention to be appointed to fill the Walsh vacancy. Soon after Manikandan was
named the appointee, Zhong
announced that he was running
for the seat and began submitting a series of letters to the editor of the WW-P News and other area newspapers detailing his
views.
In an interview for a June 28

effective way to communicate.
But I have also spoken with
hundreds of residents to learn
their opinions and ideas. If I am
elected, I will do my best to balance people’s main concerns:
school safety, superior education level, and school tax rates.”
Zhong, who has a degree in
physics from Fudan University
in Shanghai, China, has worked
as a risk manager at a financial
firm in New York. Both of his
parents were teachers and he
been involved as a board member of the Chinese School and
served with Louisa Ho on the ad
hoc facilities committee set up
by David Aderhold, now the superintendent.
Zhong and his wife, Jennifer,
have twin boys who attend Grover Middle School.
Board Discusses
Technology, HIB
T
he WW-P Board of Education heard presentations on
the Google Chromebook pilot
program and HIB (harassment,
intimidation, and bullying) statistics at its meeting on October
29.
Four fifth-grade classrooms
at both Village and Millstone
River Schools have received
Google chrome books for each
of their students, as part of the
district’s new technology initiative. Next year, every sixth
grade student will receive a
chrome book from the district
(WW-P News, June 7).
Students from Marie Bresnahan and Kara Kleckner’s
fifth grade class at Village
School shared a video they
made about the benefits of having Google Chromebooks in
their classrooms. Three students also spoke about their experiences and answered questions.
Among the benefits noted by
the students: motivation to read
more; typing is quicker than
writing; and the ability to work
collaboratively with other students online — with input from
teachers — both in class and at
home.
Also at the meeting Assistant
Superintendent Gerard Dalton
presented the annual report on
violence and vandalism, and
harassment, intimidation, and
bullying.
The number of HIB incidents declined in 2012-13,
which Dalton attributed to the
district having “a better understanding of what constitutes an
HIB violation according to the
state definition.”
“When the state first enacted
the law in 2011,” Dalton explained, “it did not provide any
regulations to guide districts on
what behavior falls within the
HIB definition, so there was a
fair amount of over-reporting.”
In the 2011-’12 school year,
there were 72 HIB incidents, 10
acts of violence, and nine acts
of vandalism reported among
district schools. In 2012-’13,
there were 27 reported HIB incidents, 24 acts of violence, and
13 vandalism incidents reported.
Dalton added, though, that
“just because behavior is not
classified as HIB behavior does
not mean that the student does
not receive disciplinary measures if warranted. Behavior
can be improper even if it
doesn’t fall within the HIB definition.”
According to the report, the
majority of HIB events occur
on the playgrounds, buses, and
during lunches — times when
students are less supervised
than in the classroom. Several
incidents have also occurred on
Facebook or by text message.
The report made several recommendations for the district:
increase HIB training for bus
drivers, aides, and coaches;
continue to monitor the guidance curriculum; promote the
use of responsive classrooms
and pro-active programs; and
hold peer-to-peer education
and discussion sessions.
Staff Changes
I
n personnel matters, Keith
Buckalew was appointed codirector of Building and
Grounds, joining James Stives;
and two long-time district employees retired. Both High
School North physical education teacher William Mealy and
Renee Williams, a special education teacher at Millstone River, retired after 26 years of service.
The board voted to accept a
monetary donation in the
amount of $14,142 from the
Maurice Hawk Elementary
School PTA to be used for the
purchase of technology and literacy items for the Maurice
Hawk Elementary School as
follows:
15 iPad2s - $5,985
25 IPEVO Document Cameras - $2,500
iPad Literacy and Math Centers - $1,697
Designing Bridges to e-Literacy - $849
Spanish Resources - $425
Replace VHS with DVD
(Media Center) - $1,186
Voices from the Land Poetry
Project - $1,500.
The Board also approved numerous field trips for high
school and middle school, including trips for students in the
Junior Statesmen of America,
Model Congress, Model United
Nations, and Washington Seminar programs, as well as senior
class trips to Disney World for
both high schools. In addition,
outdoor education programs
were approved for sixth graders
at both Grover and Community
Middle Schools. The cost per
student for the outdoor ed trips
will be approximately $250.

Playoffs Approach for Fall Sports
by Samantha Sciarrotta the top 10 and easily defeated sec-
T
he beginning of November
marks the start of state tournaments for several fall
sports, and some squads from High
Schools North and South are still in
contention. The North football
team all but secured a playoff berth
with its win over Hamilton on November 1. The Knights and the Pirates got off to slow starts, but both
teams are gradually picking up
wins. Heading into their crosstown
matchup at North on Friday, November 8, both teams sit at 2-6.
On the cross country course, the
South squads dominated the county championship on October 25,
while both North squads also had
strong showings. On the girls’ side,
the Pirates placed five runners in
ond-place
Princeton,
28-77.
South’s top finisher was Christina
Rancan, who came in third in
18:54. The North girls came in
fifth, led by Manolya Altan’s time
of 19:51, good for 13th place.
The South boys also took home
the county title, coming in ahead of
Robbinsville, 31-73. Thomas Vinci
and Nikhil Pulimood finished first
and second, respectively, with
times of 15:34 and 15:44. North’s
top finished, Kian Jackson, finished 12th in 16:30, and the Knights

The North field hockey team has
won three straight 2-1 games, in-
cluding state tournament victories

East Meets West at
New Boutique in
West Windsor
T
he massive renovation of the
Windsor Plaza Shopping Center continues to expand with new
and unique stores. Sunny’s Design,
a new shopping experience, offers
clothing and accessories in a blend
of East and West. The store is located at the front of Windsor Hair
Design, which has been owned by
Suniti Chandani since 2004.
Sunny’s Design opened for
friends and family on Sunday, October 20. “It was a day of excitement, and all those who attended
just could not believe the collections of dresses and jewelry,” says
Chandani. “All of them are thrilled
to have a place catering to both
Western and Eastern cultures in
West Windsor.” There will be an
open house on Sunday, November
10, from noon to 3 p.m.
“The boutique, the first of its
kind in West Windsor, has an exclusive collection of pashmina shawls,
stoles, tunics, fashion jewelry, and
formal Indian attire,” says Chandani. “The idea behind its conception originated from an intrinsic
desire to introduce a beautiful and
exclusive blend of trendy eastern
and western handcrafted products
to our community.”
Born and raised in Calcutta, India, Chandani earned a degree in
commercial art and textile design
from Nirmala Niketan College in
Mumbai. “Introducing a fashion
apparel line has always been my
dream,” says Chandani. “I guess I
was waiting for the right time and
opportunity, and I’m hoping this is
it.”
“Styling someone is a process,
where you need to find out who
your clients are, their needs, and
their lifestyle,” says Chandani.
“We fritter too much money away
on emotional purchases. You don’t
need a lot of pieces, just pieces that
work for you.”

Sunny’s Design: Owner Suniti Chandani,
above, displays silk
garments, traditional
dresses, and other garments and jewelry in
her store.
All the tunics and some of the
Indian outfits on her Facebook
page were designed by Chandani.
The fashion models, Mara Pugliese
and Ally Shuell, are residents of
West Windsor. “They do full justice to what I am trying to portray,”
says Chandani.
“I have always loved giving
makeovers that have ranged across
a broad spectrum from interiors to
clothing to personal appearances,”
says Chandani. “I am passionate
about teaching and art.” After getting certified as a hair stylist she
volunteered at Middlesex Vo Tech
for five years.
Her husband, Dave Chandani,
has served in the Indian Navy and
reached the rank of commodore
(equivalent to a one star general).
He was a team member of the first
Indian scientific expedition to Antarctica, which ran from 1981 to
1982. He is a vice president in human resources at an IT company.
Chandani, who organized and
choreographed fashion shows for
the annual Indian Navy Ball, was
crowned Miss Navy Queen, first
runner up, in 1986.
“I have always had a passion for
conceptualizing the interplay between textile shapes and cultures
and exploring the nuts and bolts of
apparel design,” she says. “I have
expressed my creativity through
the kaleidoscope of pattern drafting, drawing, painting, interior designing, and sewing my daughter’s

Knight Seeking Musical at Playhouse 22, Kelsey
A
n unusual scenario will occur this month when two
nearby theaters produce
the same show. “Monty Python’s
Spamalot” will be performed both
at Kelsey Theater and at Playhouse
22. The 2005 Broadway production at the Shubert Theater was
nominated for 14 Tony Awards and
received three, including the Best
Musical. It ran for more than 1,500
performances. Both productions of
the musical comedy spoof of the
King Arthur legend feature actors
from West Windsor and Plainsboro. Take your choice or see both.
The Kelsey production by Maurer Productions OnStage will run
weekends, Friday, November 15,
to Sunday, December 1. West
Windsor actors include Peter Bisgaier as Sir Bedevere and Paul Phalent as Prince Herbert. Plainsboro
actors include Dan Slowthower as
Tim the Enchanter and Scott Karlin
as the Black Knight. Meanwhile
Cindy Chait of West Windsor is
playing the role of Lady of the Lake
at Playhouse 22.
The musical comedy with book
and lyrics by Eric Idle is based on
the film “Monty Python and the
Holy Grail.” The show also features numerous references to
“Monty Python’s Flying Circus”
television skits. There are also
spoofs of “Fiddler on the Roof,”
“West Side Story,” “Man of La
Mancha,” “Les Miserables,” and
“The Producers.”
John Maurer, raised in West
Windsor, will once again slip into
the director’s chair. “I’ve been a
Monty Python fan from a young
age,” he says. “Their brand of zany
and irreverent comedy is universally appealing, but it is unique and
tricky to pull off. Lucky for us and
the audience, our cast brings the
Python spirit to the show in every
scene. Sometimes it’s hard just to
get through a rehearsal because everyone is laughing so hard.”
Former West Windsor residents
include Diana Gilman Maurer,
stage manager, producer, and the
director’s wife; and Dan Maurer,
sound designer, producer, and the
director’s brother.
A senior at High School South,
Phalent is very happy to be in his
first performance in “Spamalot”
and his first show at Kelsey Theater.
“I have been a huge Monty Python fan ever since I was young,”
he says. His family owns the box
set of “Flying Circus” and most of
their movies. “I was lucky enough
to see ‘Spamalot” with the original
Broadway cast. It was as hilarious
then as it is now.”
When he went to the audition at
Kelsey Theater, the role of Herbert
was not his initial choice. “He is in
an entirely different vocal range
than I am,” he says. He hoped to be
chosen to be ensemble or one of the
baritone knights.
“Herbert ended up being what I
auditioned for when I was asked to
read his lines and I am quite happy
I got the role,” he says. “I ended up
doing one of my favorite scenes in
the show.”
Born and raised in the Bronx, he
has lived in West Windsor for 13
years. “While I do love it here, I’d
like to see much more of the world,”
he says.
His older sister, Lena, graduated
from South in 2009. His younger
sister, Jessica, is in seventh grade.
His parents are both PhD scientists.

ne of the quietest and most
serene places in either West
Windsor or Plainsboro is
the aqueduct, the spot where the
Millstone River enters Princeton’s
Lake Carnegie. The entire boundary between West Windsor and
Plainsboro runs down the middle
of the Millstone, and when it reaches the aqueduct just west of Route
1, it actually becomes part of the
lake.
But at that very same spot we
also find the Delaware and Raritan
Canal, a man-made waterway that
has been there since the 1830s. It
and its towpaths are part of the
state-owned Delaware and Raritan
Canal State Park. But the boundary
between both West Windsor and
Plainsboro and Princeton runs
down its center.
Since the canal is a separate and
independent waterway, however,
its water must flow independently,
without being affected by the flow
of the river or the lake. Thus it is
carried in a man-made wooden aqueduct where it crosses the Millstone. Today there are two parallel
wooden foot bridges that run the
length of the aqueduct, one on the
Princeton side and one on the West
Windsor-Plainsboro side.
Lake Carnegie was formed in
1906 as a gift from industrialist Andrew Carnegie to Princeton University. (At the time, Princeton
President Woodrow Wilson had
asked Carnegie to endow the new
preceptorial teaching system he
had envisioned. But Carnegie told
Wilson that he had already given
Princeton a lake, to which Wilson
replied, “We needed bread and you

gave us water.”) The lake was
formed by building a dam across
the Millstone River at Kingston. As
the river backed up to the south it
soon came to a point where it turned
sharply to the east, flowing away
from Princeton. This is the location
of the aqueduct.
To ensure that the lake would
continue in the direction of Princeton, Stony Brook, which flowed
into the Millstone at that point, was
dredged and widened so that the
water backing up from the dam at
Kingston would then follow its
course and become part of the lake

beautiful and unspoiled place at the
only spot where two townships and
a town actually meet.
In recent decades, the aqueduct
sometimes plays a role in local
flooding. During sustained heavy
rains in the area, there is little open
land left to absorb most of the water. All the housing and paved roads
with their storm sewers mean that
the water flow becomes concentrated in local natural waterways
— the rivers and streams. It can’t
go anywhere else, since there is
very little “ground” left for it to
soak into. As a result much of the
water from a large portion of the
township ends up in the Millstone
River.
When that water reaches the aqueduct, which has a fixed opening
under the canal, it backs up and
causes the Millstone to overflow its
banks as far upstream as it will. The
only way to relieve this effect
would be to enlarge the opening
under the aqueduct, but with the
lake already overflowing anyway
— because of increased runoff on
the Princeton side — that wouldn’t
really help.
A similar problem exists where
the Millstone and Big Bear Brook
flow under the railroad tracks. The
openings in the stone supports of
the track bed were built when there
was much less runoff than there is
now. As a result these waterways
overflow their banks well upstream, sometimes causing a number of local roads to flood. The only
solution, aside from not paving so
much of the land, would be to enlarge the openings under the tracks.
That’s not likely to happen.
