uperintendent David Aderhold announced the WW-P
district’s first ever open registration night for kindergarten at the
board of education’s April 14 meeting. The open house will take place
Tuesday, April 28, from 4 to 8 p.m.
at Town Center Elementary School.
Said Aderhold: “This is the first
time that I can remember that we
are hold9ing an open registration
night for kindergarten, but we are
hoping that this will encourage parents to register their children sooner. This will give us a better idea
regarding school enrollment for
next year.”
This registration open house is
for students who will be entering
kindergarten in September, 2015.
No appointment is needed. Children must be five years of age on or
before October 1, 2015.
At the time of registration, parents will need to bring a completed
registration packet; the child’s
health and immunization records,
as well as the child’s birth certificate or passport; and proof of residency. The 2015-’16 registration

t was a crime that shocked Plainsboro
and nearby communities and also sent
shivers through the young community
living in the Hunters Glen apartment complex. In 1985 Irene Schnaps, 37 years old
and recently widowed, was found dead in
her apartment with more than a dozen
blows to the head from a hatchet.
At the time, Plainsboro and the surrounding area were troubled by a series of
burglaries, as well as several rapes. Many
law enforcement officials believed Nathaniel Harvey was responsible for most
of the crimes, and he was convicted two
separate times for Schnaps’ grisly murder.
However, Nathaniel Harvey has gotten
both verdicts reversed. A 1986 murder
conviction was overturned in 1990 after
the state Supreme Court ruled police extracted a confession from Harvey without
properly informing him of his Miranda
rights. He was re-tried and convicted
again in 1994.

risks associated with head lice.”
If enacted, the policy makes it
clear that “A student who is found
to have active head lice will not be
permitted to attend school until
there are no active lice in the student’s hair and until all live head
lice and nits are removed as confirmed by an examination by the
school nurse. If the school nurse
determines a student has active
head lice, the parent shall be notified by the school nurse as soon as
reasonably possible, but not later
than the end of the school day. The
school nurse will determine to send
the child home or have the child remain at school for the remainder of
the school day based on the comfort of the child, the degree of the
infestation, and the likelihood of
the spread of head lice to other students.”
Once a child is sent home for
head lice, the student shall be readmitted only upon the examination and approval of the school
nurse. The examination for re-admittance to school by the school

30-YEAR-OLD CASE
In the most recent twist, the 1994 conviction, originally a death sentence, was
overturned by a state Superior Court judge
last month. The judge ruled Harvey received inadequate legal assistance in the
early 1990s.
Harvey, 65, will still serve out a 70-year
sentence from a separate charge. His 1994
death sentence was reduced to life in pris-

on without parole after the state abolished
capital punishment in 2007.
Defense attorneys for Harvey claim
DNA evidence connecting Harvey to the
murder was flawed, and they have maintained that the real culprit is one of
Schnaps’ neighbors, Peter Stohwasser,
who died in 2011. In addition, the defense
attorneys are building a case connecting
Stohwasser with the February, 1984, disappearance of Donna Macho, 19, from the
basement of her parents’ East Windsor
home. Macho disappeared 16 months before Schnaps’ murder, and her body was
discovered in 1995 in a field a mile away
from the Schnaps crime scene.
In 2005 The News interviewed Stohwasser, then living in Hightstown, as well
as several law enforcement officers involved in the case who were convinced of
Harvey’s guilt (May 27, 2005).
After Stohwasser was mentioned in a
New York Times article that local police
officials say was biased in favor of Harvey, who was then on death row, Stohwasser spoke to The News to clear his name.
“I had nothing to do with her murder,
and my wife right now is on my back constantly because of this situation. I think
this whole thing stinks. They’re trying to

hen the kids were younger and life was simpler, I
had a Sandra Boynton
Mom’s datebook. There were clever cartoons on every other page,
and there were fun, colorful stickers to mark birthdays, anniversaries, practices, games, and other
significant life happenings. The
book not only captured my family’s
future events, when the year was
done, it also served as a diary, a memento of the business and busyness
of our lives.
Today keeping track of everyone’s comings and goings is nigh
well impossible. It’s a good thing I
am not a control freak because I
would lose my mind if I even tried.
First, Katie and Molly are both legally adults and have their own
busy calendars to manage. Technically, though I have only one child
at home to manage, his schedule is
complex, and keeping track takes
almost as much work as it used to
with three.
Suburban Mom
Then there are the challenges of
methodology. Out of habit, I still
carry a datebook, though I have
traded in the Boynton mom brand
to a sophisticated Moleskine lavender hardcover. But then there’s the
electronic calendar on my smartphone. It syncs up to my Outlook
calendar at work, so I can keep
track of meetings, but I have not
gotten used to inputting family
events. For that, I have the giant
master calendar in my kitchen, on
which I write down chorus concerts, lacrosse games, summer tournaments, doctors appointments,
grooming for the dogs, and the like.

even when I write the pertinent information on the right calendar —

calendar in the kitchen — even
then, there can be controversy.

Knowledge, Experience, Dedication set me apart from other realtors
ven in the man cave from the bustle
and pressure of work and home.
It’s a great group of guys; I am
genuinely fond of them, but on this
particular morning, this particular
E-mail infuriated me. I thought
about whether that was the right
word to use here. I considered annoyed, irritated, and angered,
among others, but decided that infuriated actually best captured my
reaction.
I
t wasn’t just that neither date that
my husband had offered worked
— April 18 is the prom and May 2
is the temple benefit. It was more
that he had volunteered our home
and his availability for both nights
without the courtesy of checking in
with me. Again, it’s not because
I’m a control freak. It’s because Venus believes that it’s a tenet of Marriage 101 to check in with your
spouse before hosting a party in
your home, and even more so at this
time of year that is a minefield of
tournaments, proms, weddings,
communions, and graduations —
including that of our own daughter
from college.
I thought briefly about hitting
“Reply All” with a terse “neither
date works” — but then thought
better of it. (Why embarrass my
poor sweetie on a group E-mail
when I have a column that will do a
better job? Actually, Bill is a great
sport when it comes to this column,
especially when we have moved on
to a point where we can laugh about
transgressions like this.)
Instead, I hit just “Reply” with
the same message, along with a
terse: “Good rule of thumb: check
in with me when you’re trying to
set dates.” He replied, with a Marstoned response: “Good rule of
thumb: let me know about my
availability.”
Any good Venus can anticipate
how I reacted to that. Not well. Did
he not know to check the master
family calendar? Did he not know
where it has been hanging in our
house pretty much since the day we
had kids? Did he not know that if he
did not wish to ask me directly, he
could go to that calendar for quick
reference before he issued an invitation on which he would have to
back pedal?
Now I was really worked up and
incensed. Those who know me
might say I was overreacting, but
my ire was based on the fact that
these rules were SOP — standing
operating procedure — in our
house. Then, to add fuel to the fire,
my darling of 25-plus years asked
me to come up with alternative
good dates in May.
There are no good dates in May,
I pointed out, I thought, fairly reasonably. Check the calendar. Then,
less reasonably, I declared, “and
there are no good dates in the near
future either.”
Like the saga of my stuck rings,
this is a story that is continuing to
unfold. Will Mars win over Venus
and her stubborn and bossy ways
and get to host poker after all? (He
did just host six months ago.) Will
Venus continue with her iron hand
over the roost or relent, showing
her sweet, accommodating side
and let the games begin and the
good times roll? As they say on TV,
stay tuned for the next episode.

South Juniors Work
to Empower Women
Y
oung Women Empowerment Initiative is a new organization founded by
Varna Kodoth of Plainsboro and
Radhika Gupta of West Windsor, both juniors at High School South. YWEI encourages women to take control of their futures
by taking on leadership positions and delving into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) field professions.
The initiative is geared mainly to middle and
high school girls.
YWEI plans seminars to learn more about
women in leadership roles and STEM field
professions within the community. Topics
include how they got to be where they are,
the skills they developed to become successful, what it’s like working in a male-dominated field, what women empowerment means,
and more. Kodoth hopes to become a doctor
and Gupta hopes to become an engineer.
“Women make up only 25 percent of the
STEM field workforce and only 27 CEOs in
the Fortune 1000 are women,” they say. “The
purpose of YWEI is to create a spark in young
women that will contribute towards bridging
the gap between women and leadership.”
YWEI exhibited at the Young Women
Conference at Princeton University last
month. More than 450 students from New
Jersey attended the conference to learn about
women in STEM. “YWEI received positive
feedback and gained many active supporters
through this event,” they say.
They also hosted a seminar at Plainsboro
Library on March 29. There were guest talks
by Dr. Madeline Chadehumbe, a neurologist from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Dr. Aimee Goodman, a pediatrician from Healthy Kids Pediatric Group in
East Windsor.
The doctors shared insight on their respective medical studies and discussed how
they balance their work life and personal life,
the challenges they faced in their journey to
achieving their goals, and what they love
about their job.
“We both feel extremely passionate about
women empowerment,” say Kodoth and
Gupta. “We believe that women should aspire to have those leadership positions. We
hope to be the catalyst in the lives of these
young women.”

Four From Troop 40
Earn Eagle Awards
F
our long-time West Windsor Boy Scouts
— Nigel Swenson, Ryan Linskey, Griffin Petri, and Matt Duffy — earned the Eagle Award. Troop 40 held the Court of Honor
ceremony on December 20 at High School
South. Each of the Eagle Scouts developed a
project to benefit the West Windsor community.
Nigel Swenson joined scouting in December, 2007, and has served as a librarian,
patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader,
and instructor. He earned membership in the
Order of the Arrow, the national honor society of the Boy Scouts of America, in 2012.
He attended several scout camps, including
National Jamboree in 2010 and Philmont
Scout ranch in 2011 and 2013. When Swenson served as a counselor in training at Camp
NoBeBoSco, he led the merit badge fair, the
swim tests, and the bridging buddies program. A graduate of High School North in
2014, he is a freshman majoring in mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan.
Swenson led a project to clean and repaint
the dock at Van Nest Park, which had been
fouled by geese over the years. He also added
a goose fence to prevent geese from coming
onto the dock. Keeping the geese away will
help to preserve the dock and protect the
2009 restoration of the aquatic habitat restoration of the Grover’s Mill Pond at the park.
Ryan Linskey, who began his scouting
career in the first grade with Cub Scout Pack
66, earned his Arrow of Light before bridging to Troop 40 in 2008. He has held leadership positions including patrol leader, assistant senior patrol leader for outside organizations, instructor, and senior instructor.
Linskey successfully completed BSA’s
National Youth Leadership Training in 2011.
He celebrated the 100th anniversary of the
Boy Scouts at the 2010 National Jamboree in
Virginia, attended a Jamboree in West Virginia, and enjoyed coral reef sailing and
snorkeling in 2012 at Sea Base.
A senior at High School South, where he
served as a peer leader and plays cello in the
school’s orchestra, Linskey has been elected
to be South’s National Honor Society’s community service chair. With his passion for
theater arts, he has performed in South’s fall
dramas for the past four years, held stage
management and student director positions
in the spring musicals, and handled similar
responsibilities in the school’s annual One

NoBeBoSco, and attended the National Jamboree in 2010 and Philmont Scout ranch in
2011. Petri has competed nationally and internationally in rowing, finishing 10th in the
nation in youth nationals in the men’s lightweight 4 division.
After discovering his love of first aid in
scouting, he became a state-certified emergency medical technician and volunteers at
Princeton First Aid. A senior at High School
South, he plans to major in public health and
emergency management and join the student-run EMT squad.
A former volunteer for the recently disbanded Twin W First Aid Squad, Petri designed a 16-foot concrete walkway with four
landings to connect two buildings at Twin W
and enable squad members to move supplies
and equipment between the buildings. A
team of 27 volunteers (and one cement truck)
worked for more than 360 hours.
Matt Duffy joined West Windsor Pack 66
in first grade, achieved his Arrow of Light
award in 2008, and bridged into Troop 40.
Matt has served Troop 40 as instructor, patrol
leader, webmaster, and assistant senior patrol leader, and is now junior assistant scoutmaster. Duffy attended Camp NoBeBoSco
for six years, attended the National Jamboree
in 2010, sailed and snorkeled in Florida at the
Sea Base Coral Reef program in 2012, and
attended the 2013 National Jamboree. He has
led district camporees, including the West

A senior at High School North, Duffy has
worked on the school’s stage crew for musical and drama productions and was a member of the cast of the school’s production of
“Alice in Wonderland.”
He enjoys computer programming and
gaming and used his computer skills to build
his own computer. Duffy is interested in
studying artificial intelligence applied to
quantitative finance after high school.
Duffy designed, constructed, and installed
two wheelchair-accessible picnic tables at
the playground in Zaitz Park in West Windsor. The tables were placed on beds of woodchips outlined by Belgian blocks.
Future Engineers
T
wo High School North students Amar
Desai and Abhinav Raghunathan received third place in a competition hosted by
the Department of Technology, Culture, and
Society at NYU that challenges high school
students to develop solutions for problems in
Sustainable Urban Environments, Science
and Technology Studies, or Integrated Digital Media. In addition to the third place honor, Desai and Raghunathan received scholarships to NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering.
Their proposal, “The Applications of Big
Data on Modern Medical Practices,” was
submitted in the area of Science and Technology Studies. In the first round of the competition, each team presented a proposal using big data consisting of a solution to some
problem in the medical field. In the final
round each team had to write a research paper regarding its proposal and solution. The
two students developed Greenpulse, an online interactive database that gives the user
prompt questions in response to a series of
symptoms to find the most accurate possible
diagnosis. Laura Wheeler, a teacher at High
School North, is their mentor.
High Tech, High Achievers
R
oop Pal, a freshman at High School
North, is leading a high-tech initiative in
the community that will impact non-profits
and global communities. A group of young
students with a passion for innovation and
exploration in STEM subjects are involved
with PicoSatellite eXploration Lab to delve
into the problem of integrating EEG and
small satellite technologies.
“I indulge my interest in STEM by studying algorithms, working on PSXL, program-
ming for my high school’s FIRST Robotic
Club, along with being involved in a variety
of other STEM-related groups,” says Pal.
“I am developing PSXL, an organization
that aims to design satellites that can ultimately assist in the proliferation of extremely affordable satellites with radical input
technologies and many significant applications, starting out with a mind-controlled picosatellite,” says Pal. “I plan to ultimately
use these technologies to enable innovative
solutions for disaster-management, remote
sensing, and communications.”
The club explores STEM technologies to
help solve complex problems. “We experience the thrill of being able to innovate and
improve existing EEG and satellite technologies, which has the potential to greatly affect
the world positively,” says Pal.
“PSXL’s objective is to launch a satellite
controlled by our brains,”says Pal. “The
prospect of controlling the actions of a hunk
of metal 200 to 500 miles away is nothing
short of exhilarating. While the functions of
the satellite remain uncertain, its effect will
be present regardless.”
Brice Huang, 17, a student at High School
North, received the second place medal of
distinction for basic research at the Intel Science Talent Search 2015, a pre-college math
and science competition hosted by the Intel
Foundation. The competition challenges
young innovators to use their science and
math knowledge to create technology or
come up with a solution to a problem that
will benefit the public at large.
Huang was one of 40 high school students
nationwide who traveled to Washington,
D.C., in March to compete for the nine top
awards. The finalists presented their research
to judges, met national leaders, interacted
with scientists, and put their research on display at the National Geographic Society.
Huang’s project, “Monomization of Power Ideals and Generalized Parking Functions,” expanded on existing mathematical
research on power ideals. He was one of three
second-place winners to receive $75,000.

C
aroline Cardinale of West Windsor is a
finalist for the FIRST Tech College Robotics Dean’s List Award, a national robotics
award. A 10th grade student at the Hun

finalists out of about 135 teams and 10,000
student roboticists in New Jersey. Cardinale

on robot building and programming but on
outreach and service in the community to
support STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math).
Although Cardinale has been interested in
STEM since she was very young, building
with Legos and playing with her own Legos

have the opportunity to get that kind of exposure and has been performing outreach to
change that. After she started and ran a Junior

Five years ago Cardinale’s Lego
Robotics team stood stunned at
their qualifying tournament when
they realized they designed their
robot to an incorrect game challenge. “I can fix this!” said the sixth
grader, and proceeded to modify
the robot in a half-hour on a cafeteria table in time for their first match.
Green Machine did well enough to
qualify for the regional championships. The following year they won
the first place Championship’s
Award and became one of only 80
FLL teams worldwide to attend the
World Robotics Festival in St. Louis. It was there that Cardinale discovered First Tech Challenge, the
next level of FIRST robotics geared
for small teams of high school students. With several other team
members, she convinced the
coaches, Andrea Mandel, Helen
Rancan, and her mother, Jan Cardinale, to help start the more advanced team and W.A.G.S. (We
Are Girl Scouts) was born.
Although her nomination was
submitted by Mandel and Rancan,
the award comes from the team.
“We sat down as a team and discussed it,” says Mandel. “They
were wonderfully supportive. They
are an outstanding all girls team,
and although everybody contributes they recognized how Caroline
goes way beyond requirements in
commitment and accomplishment
in all areas. There was an incredible
amount of cheering and hugging
when it was announced she had
won at the New Jersey State Championships.”
W.A.G.S., now three years old,
is going to the World Championships — one of about 100 teams out
of 4,500 worldwide. The girls are
excited to compete on a world level
as well as to support Cardinale,
who will be going to a luncheon

Does This FHA Policy Update Affect You?
ou may have heard about
the new Federal Housing
Administration (FHA) policy, announced in January of this
year, which reduces annual
mortgage insurance premiums
(MIP) on FHA loans. Is this
something that might affect you?
The FHA does not originate,
but rather insures loans with
down payments as low as 3.5
percent. The new reduction from
1.35 to .85 percent in the annual
MIP is just the boost the National Association of REALTORS
anticipates many first time borrowers may need to help them
qualify for a home loan.
In addition to first-time homeowners, who else might benefit
from the MIP reduction?
Existing homeowners may

Nathaniel Harvey
get Harvey off of death row by involving me, and it’s not fair,” Stohwasser said in 2005. “I want this to
go away. I don’t need this, 20 years
later, to come up on me all of a sudden.”
I
n the mid-1980s, the Princeton
Meadows neighborhood was a
popular spot for young professionals and singles.
Stohwasser and Schnaps both
lived in the Hunters Glen development, and Stohwasser, 41 and divorced, told the News he befriended his recently widowed neighbor
in the hope of developing a romantic relationship.
The two never dated, and after
Schnaps’ murder police obtained a
search warrant to investigate Stohwasser’s apartment. A quilt with
blood stains was taken from the his
apartment, and hairs from the quilt
appeared to match Schnaps’ hair.
The Middlesex prosecutor’s office took him in for questioning.
According to Harvey’s defense attorney, Stohwasser failed a lie detector test, though test results are
not admissible in court. He had also
previously served jail time for
stalking a girlfriend. However, police dropped Stohwasser as a suspect in large part because of his
shoe size: he had size 12 feet while
a bloody size-six footprint was
found at the scene of the crime.
Schnaps, whose husband had
died of cancer six weeks earlier,
was killed overnight on Saturday,
June 15, 1985, or in the early morning hours the next day. When
Schnaps did not show up to work
Monday one of her colleagues at
RCA Americom, on Research Way,
went to Schnaps’ apartment to
check up.
Schnaps was found nude in her
bedroom, and on the floor was a
blood-stained pillow case with a
size-six footprint.
Local authorities meanwhile
had assembled a special task force
in response to a series of burglaries
and rapes that terrified residents in
Plainsboro, West Windsor, and surrounding communities. Police organized “dragnet” patrols to catch
the suspect, described by witnesses
as a short, stocky, black male.
They caught a break on October
28, 1985, after a man broke into
two homes. He attempted to abduct
a 13-year-old girl from her home in
Dutch Neck Estates at one residence, but he fled after her parents
woke up to their daughter’s
screams. The man broke into another home, threatening the homeowner with an axe before fleeing
into the woods.
Police canvassed the area and
spotted Harvey walking across a
soybean field before running into
the woods. He was apprehended at
Old Trenton Road and Dorchester
Drive by a state trooper.
Evidence connecting Harvey to
Schnaps’ apartment and several recent burglaries was later found in
Harvey’s car. There were items stolen from homes in several recent
burglaries, and police also discovered a Seiko watch that originated
from Schnaps’ apartment. Harvey
also had size-six feet.
At his second trial, DNA from
blood samples found on a box
spring in Schnaps’ apartment
matched genetic traits found in a
blood sample taken from Harvey. A
divided state Supreme Court upheld Harvey’s conviction in 1997,
though one dissenting judge expressed doubts on the DNA testing.
THE NEWS
Murder Mystery: In 2005 the New York Times published an article bringing into question the evidence
against Nathaniel Harvey, right, and investigating
the involvement of neighbor Peter Stohwasser.
Harvey, then an East Windsor
resident, had a lengthy rap sheet. In
the 2005 News article, West Windsor police officers characterized
Harvey as a brazen home invader,
and he had been convicted of sexual assault. When the police questioned Harvey after his arrest, Harvey admitted to burglaries and a
recent sexual assault.
In addition, a Plainsboro woman
who had been sexually assaulted
identified Harvey out of a lineup as
the assailant.
Harvey’s wife lived in the Hunters Glen apartment complex, and
police claim Harvey confessed to
killing Schnaps. Harvey has recanted the confession, and his 1986
conviction was overturned on the
grounds that police obtained his
confession without properly informing him of his Miranda rights.
According to former West Windsor police lieutenant David Mansue, who was a detective at the time
of Harvey’s arrest, Harvey was
read his Miranda rights when he
was arrested.
Prior to the state’s abolishment
of the death penalty in 2007, Harvey had been on death row for 20
years, though New Jersey had not
executed anyone since 1963.

Plainsboro Prepares
for Reassessment
I
n preparation for the 2016 tax year, Plainsboro authorized a reassessment of all properties at the township committee meeting
April 8.
Professional Property Appraisers Inc.,
based in Delran, will assist the Tax Assessor’s
office. Plainsboro Assessor Thomas Mancuso
says the plan is to conduct inspections from
May through July and complete the reassessment process in time for next year. Residents
will receive mailed notices in advance of the
inspections, which will be conducted in twoweek intervals for each neighborhood. Assessment personnel are registered with the police
department and will carry ID.
This year’s reassessment is a follow-up to
the more comprehensive revaluation done in
2005. Mancuso says the reassessment is to update property values in response to the recent
uptick in residential sales.
“Everyone is supposed to be taxed at full
market value,” Mancuso says. “The market is
starting to go up again, and not everyone goes
up at the same time. Someone who is assessed
lower is not picking up the share of the burden,
and that means someone else is. You want to
equalize.”
In addition to bringing underassessed properties back up to market value for a more equitable tax distribution, the township aims for an
assessment to sale price ratio of 96.15 percent.
Ratios have gone down as the increasing number of apartment and single family home sales
drive up market values. This leaves the township vulnerable to appeals from its many commercial properties. Commerical owners can
cite declining ratios to support claims of overassessment.
Property owners with an increase in assessed value will most likely see an increase in
their property taxes. However, reassessment
does not equate to overall tax increases, which
are determined by the school district, county,
and municipal budgets.
— Vincent Xu
Improvements Advised for Canal Pointe Blvd.
T
by Vincent Xu fewer car lanes also reduces roadway width.
o discourage motorists who regularly
speed along Canal Pointe Boulevard
— and in anticipation of future development — a final report released by West
Windsor Township recommends a “road
diet” that will reduce the four-lane road to a
three-lane cross-section: two through lanes
and a center lane for left turns. The report
also recommends five-foot bike lanes on
each side.
The prescribed road diet is intended to
benefit the residential neighborhoods off of
Canal Pointe by slowing speeds, reducing
crashes, and improving bike and pedestrian
access, “without negating the need for accessibility to the office complexes” for
commuters. With additional development
expected alongside the corridor, the primary tradeoff includes increased vehicular delays, particularly at side street intersections.
A public meeting on the Canal Pointe report will be held at the municipal complex
on Tuesday, April 21, from 7 to 9 p.m. in
Room A.
“The whole concept of a road diet is an
excellent idea. Anything that can slow the
speed down. Traffic does travel fast and the
road is in a deplorable state,” says Dave
Robinson, a West Windsor Bicycle and Pedestrian Alliance trustee who lives off of
Canal Pointe. “Cyclists have to be well out
from the right hand curb to avoid numerous,
murderous potholes. The other big problem
is there is only one marked crossing on the
whole length, way down towards the MarketFair complex.”
The report was prepared by the Exton,
Pennsylvania-based Burns Group (formerly Orth-Rodgers Associates) in 2008 and
updated in 2013. The total length of Canal
Pointe Boulevard is 1.7 miles, and it includes Wheeler Way. In addition to slowing
motorists, fewer travel lanes would prevent
sideswipe crashes, and a left-turn lane
would reduce rear-end crashes for turning
vehicles. For pedestrians crossing the road,

The road diet recommendation is expected to increase vehicle stopping times at the
stop sign-controlled side streets that intersect with Canal Pointe. The report also
notes the impact of anticipated development by 2018, which include Princeton
Theological Seminary’s apartment complex that will number up to 400 rental units;
six Carnegie Center buildings totaling more
than 1 million square feet of office space;
150,000 square feet of office space by
Princeton Overlook; and a Hilton Garden
Inn.
There are currently two office buildings
and two hotels on the west campus of Carnegie Center. One office is occupied by
Princeton University and the other is a
A proposal would reduce Canal
Pointe Boulevard from four

multi-tenant building owned by Hilton Realty. Last May the township approved a
general development plan for seven additional office buildings. According to Land
Use Manager Sam Surtees, while the zoning is approved, there are currently no applications for the office buildings listed in
the Canal Pointe report except for the
120,000 square foot NRG headquarters under construction. In addition, the Hilton
Garden Inn is not expected to be developed.
From 2008 to 2013, the report estimates
weekday evening peak hour traffic on the
southbound lanes of Canal Pointe increased
more than 400 vehicles per hour.
The report acknowledges that traffic volume increases and a road diet project will
worsen vehicular delays at the intersections
along Canal Pointe, especially at the Alexander Road and Carnegie Boulevard/Carillon Boulevard intersections, with a possible
need for a traffic light addition at the latter.
“I see it as a worthwhile sacrifice for the
safety of cyclists. I know people use the
road as a fast alternative to Route 1 congestion. They shouldn’t. You are getting close
to residential neighborhoods,” Robinson
says. “The bike lanes will be a useful cycling route. It opens up a whole lot of cycle
routes that give you alternatives to getting
somewhere. It’s always about alternatives.”
More Room for Bikes. Conover Road is
the next stretch due for expansion under the
township’s Bike Lane Extension Program.
The proposed shared pathways will connect
South Post Road with Mercer County Park.
The township hired Roberts Engineering
Group, based in Hamilton, to survey and design the project.
According to the township’s capital improvement program for 2015 to 2020,
$175,000 of bike lane extension funding is
allocated each year through 2020, beginning in 2016. Other areas of expansion as
part of the program include Village Road
West (between Windsor Ponds and Quakerbridge Road); Village Road East (between Old Trenton Road and South Lane);
Alexander Road (between Wallace Road
and Route 571); and Harris Road (between
Alexander and Clarksville roads).
Other Road News. The south side section of Alexander Road from Vaughn Drive
to Roszel Road will be resurfaced. The
township contracted with Earle Asphalt
Company, based in Farmingdale.
A North Post Road widening project
aimed at widening shoulders at the turn near
the library, including the removal of a utility
pole. Council will approve an engineering
firm at its meeting on Monday, April 20.
The ongoing Cranbury Road sidewalk
project received support from Council at
the April 2 special meeting, with Council
passing a resolution requesting support for
the hybrid one-sided sidewalk plan from
Mercer County. It is expected to take a few
months to receive a response from the county and to find an engineering consultant.

These events had budget expense
implications and both happened
after the administration introduced
the budget in February. Unexpected expense overruns could lead to
dipping into reserve funds, so the
administration prefers to overanticipate expenses. Expenses not
realized would go to the fund balance for future financial planning.
“They are acting like we took a
hatchet to the budget. The mayor is
just playing games, because he
wants to keep a large fund balance,” Maher said in a phone interview. “Nobody is sitting here saying we want to cut the fund balance
dramatically. The fund balance has
gone done a very little amount. We
are willfully trimming the fund
balance, which was $7 million, to
$6 million. Why is it the mayor
needs $7 million for a $38 million
budget, when Mercer County

needs a $9 million fund balance for
a $300 million budget?”
(Mercer County’s fund balance
was close to $21 million, and the
$302 million County budget for
2015 used $11 million in surplus,
leaving a reserve balance of $9.5
million. West Windsor began the
year with a $6.4 million surplus,
and $4.8 million will be appropriated for the 2015 budget, resulting
in a $1.6 million reserve balance.)
Council’s amended budget reduced expenses to $38.1 million, a
net decrease of $18,700 from the
administration’s proposed budget.
Last month’s closing of Twin required an expense increase to hire
three additional full time EMTs,
offsetting Council’s main reductions to litigation, gasoline, and
brush disposal expenses.
The 2015 budget increased
roughly $350,000 from last year.
To avoid the administration’s recommended 3.06 percent municipal
levy increase, Council increased
revenue anticipation in UCC fees
and fund balance to balance the
budget. UCC revenue is $1 million, the same as 2014, but
$250,000 more than the administration’s recommendation. Fund
balance revenue is $4.826 million,
a $390,558 increase from the administration’s recommendation.

he original habitants in West
Windsor were the Lenape Indians. The first immigrants from Europe settled in this area about 1682.
West Windsor was part of New
Windsor, then Windsor and officially became West Windsor and
elected the first West Windsor
Township Committee in 1797.
During this period of time, the
Schenck and Conover families,
who emigrated from Holland, were
the two major property owners in
West Windsor.
My family moved to West Windsor in 1985. Soon after I physically
moved in, I served as a volunteer
first on the Board of Health and
later on the Environmental Commission. With many years of service in the public sector and academia, I developed a vision for
West Windsor and decided to run
for the first Council seat in 1993
along with others who shared the
same vision and we won.
On July 1, 2001, I became the
third elected Mayor of West Windsor since we adopted the MayorCouncil form of municipal government in 1992. My first challenge
was the tragedy of 9/11. My second
challenge was the final affordable
housing decision rendered by the
State Supreme Court in October
2001. At the same time, we also
faced a severe penalty from OSHA
if we did not fix the work environment downstairs in the municipal
building.
In addition to these three challenges we had to deal with, I made
my promises to the residents of
West Windsor, all of which I have
kept: reconstruction of the Alexander Rail Bridge; restoration of the
Grovers Mill Pond; creation of the
Farmers Market; creation of a history museum; adoption of a master
plan for a bicycle/pedestrian
friendly design in West Windsor;
creation of an Arts Center; upgrading the Senior Center; enhancing
recreational opportunities for the
youth; promoting arts and cultural
activities; expanding the open
space and farmland preservation
program; turning the brownfields
into more productive properties;
developing a new downtown
around the train station; and improving traffic circulation and public infrastructure.
To promote a sense of community and a more clear sense of place
called West Windsor is the goal of
my Administration. Diversity is
truly the strength of this community. We are very proud of the fact
that in the process of dealing with
the 9/11, tragedy, we also learned
how to support one another as a
community. Interfaith Community
Bridge, an independent organization of all religious leaders, is an
outgrowth of this unique experience and it continues this effort to
bring us together with many more
community events.
Last year, our major accomplishments included: 1). A successful
recruitment of three new officers to
the police force; 2). A complete reconstruction of the Big Bear Brook
Bridge along Princeton-Hightstown Road and the Assunpink
Creek Bridge along Old Trenton
Road; 3). Completion of Hill Wallack Headquarters; 4). Upgrading
and addition of recreational facilities at Duck Pond Park; 5). Renovations and upgrading at the Marketfair (Corner Bakery, Eastern Mountain Sports, Barnes & Noble and
Season 52, etc.); 6). completion of
the extended Vaughn Lot for 600
cars cutting the wait time for new
permit holders from many years to a
couple of weeks; 7). 2014 Collaboration Award from the Sustainable
Jersey Program; and 8). recognition
of the Environmental Education
Center, part of the History Museum, by the State Association of Environmental Commissions as one
of the six significant environmental
projects in 2014.
Today, as one of the highest silver
level certified sustainable communities in the state, West Windsor received the collaboration award from
the Sustainable Jersey Program and
the annual award from the State Association of Environmental Commissions in 2014. This distinction
demonstrates where we are at the
state level with respect to our accomplishments in the social, economic, and environmental areas.
In the forthcoming year, we plan
to accomplish the following:
1. Connecting South Post Road
through Conover Road with a bike
path into the Mercer Community
Park.
2. Resurfacing of Alexander
Road.
3. Improving Canal Point Boulevard.
4. Improving traffic movements
at the Alexander Road and Vaughn
Drive intersection.
5. Widening North Post Road
around the curve in front of the library.
6. Constructing a cricket field in
the Community Park.
7. Constructing NRG Energy
National Headquarters.
8. Acquiring additional four
properties for open space preservation.

surplus. West Windsor earned a
AAA credit rating in 2007, and we
had the highest percentage of reserve surplus to municipal budget
10.39 percent in 2008. It is estimated to be only 4.14 percent in this
year’s introduced budget. Reserve
surplus represents money to be
used in cases of emergency.
When this year’s budget was
proposed to the Council on February 12, of course no one knew anything about the New Jersey Supreme Court decision on March 10
regarding the fair share affordable
housing. The decision requires municipalities like West Windsor to
file a “declaratory judgment action” with the court by July 8, 2015,
to protect us from interested parties
bringing legal action against the
Township through a “constitutional compliance action.”
This could result in a “builder’s
remedy” law suit such as Toll
Brothers Estate at Princeton Junction where West Windsor could be
ordered to allow developers to
build denser housing projects with
few amenities, less affordable
housing, and more lax site plan design standards; in the long run,
costing the taxpayers more. Once
we file with the court a “declaratory judgment action,” we have five
month (up to December 8, 2015) to
submit a housing element and fair
share plan supplementing what we
already submitted to COAH for
Round 3 in 2008. As Mayor of West
Windsor, I’d like to make it very
clear that we will do whatever it
takes to protect the best interest of
this community. All your support
will be critical to this effort.
Now, I’d like to recognize our
outstanding volunteer kjof the year
— Dr. Ronald J. Slinn, for his contribution to the community.
At this point, I would like again
to thank the municipal staff and
volunteers of the Township of West
Windsor for the cooperation and
hard work. I look forward to working with Council and all of you to
improve our community.

residents more than their
property taxes — the highest in the
nation. There are three components
to property tax bills: the municipal
budget, used to operate local government; the school budget; and
the local share of the county budget. Of these, we only directly control the municipal budget.
Yes, our property taxes are high,
but the municipal portion of our
property tax rate has been very stable. My first proposed budget was
prepared in 2002. That year the Administration and Council had a
joint retreat to develop common
goals in different areas of municipal issues. That year, we had a municipal surplus of 1.54 percent of
the total municipal budget.
Through the evolution of many
years of dialogue, we established
the following principles for the municipal budgeting process: having
an annual increase in the total budget less than the CPI; obtaining a
AAA credit rating status; providing
full municipal services including
garbage collection, recycling, leaf
and brush pick-up, and public safety responders; and supporting and
maintaining a sustainable budget.
Some may ask: “Why increase
taxes at all? Times are tough.” And
they would probably receive a
sympathetic response from most
residents. While maintaining a flat
tax rate will always be popular, it is
not always the best policy — not
when so many economic challenges face us. Based on our own
household experience, expenditures go up every year. If the municipal tax rate is flat, we pay for
those increased expenditures with

Ellsworth Update
L
itigation by the next door
neighbor has delayed mixeduse expansion at the Ellsworth
Center, which is part of the West
Windsor’s redevelopment zone.
Jacinto Rodrigues, the owner
of the blighted property behind
the Ellsworth Center, has filed
two lawsuits challenging Shawn
Ellsworth’s redevelopment proposals. Rodrigues’ property is
only accessible via an easement
through the Ellsworth Center.
One lawsuit is against variances granted by the Zoning
Board, and the other contests the
redevelopment designation of
two residential lots adjacent to
the Ellsworth Center. According
to township land use manager
Sam Surtees, the Mercer County
Superior Court ruled in the township’s favor in both suits, though
Rodrigues has appealed.
In 2013 the Zoning Board
granted variances that allowed
end of the year, as are contracts for
garbage, brush disposal, and roadside refuse.
Maher says the mayor is crying
wolf and the township is well positioned to address future needs.
“The goal is to match revenues
with expenses as closely as we
can,” Maher says. “This is a business where people have to buy your
product, where they have to buy
your property taxes. And residents
pay it at a rate of nearly 100 percent. We know there have been expense creep, and it particularly
comes from salary and wages. Nobody is saying no tax increases will
go on indefinitely. Next year there
might be a 1 percent increase.”
Longtime CFO Joanne Louth
says the township has state mandated caps on both the amount of
taxes it can raise and the amount
the budget can be increased, which
she says adds import to long term
planning and preserving the township fund balance.
“If the revenue disappears, services are at risk if we cannot raise
taxes,” Louth says. “Even if we
have infinite revenue, expense caps
could prevent us from raising the
budget to pay for needs.”
“If we don’t have a mutual understanding, I think we are going to
have trouble,” Hsueh said in a follow-up phone call. “There’s nothing I can do, because Maher has a
three-vote majority.”
the conversion of two residential
properties into a parking lot and a
stormwater detention area. In response to Rodrigues’ lawsuit, the
township added both properties
to the redevelopment zone in
January, which gives zoning jurisdiction to the Planning Board.
Redevelopment at the Ellsworth Center includes an increase of retail space from
22,000 to 52,000 square feet, and
20 second-story apartment units
(The News, December 6, 2013).
Seven new buildings are planned,
as well as renovations for the existing retail space.
Ellsworth has also not entered
into a redeveloper’s agreement
with the township, Surtees said.
Rodrigues also has a developer application before the township. Rodrigues’ company,
Pereira Investments, is tentatively scheduled for a May 11 SPRAB meeting.

Affordable Housing. Affordable housing obligations were the
second issue the mayor addressed
in his speech. A recent state Supreme Court ruling requires municipalities to submit affordable
housing plans to the judiciary, as it
is unlikely the governor and state
legislators will resolve the issue
before June (The News, April 3).
One of Hsueh’s first challenges as
an elected township official was
the “Builder’s Remedy” lawsuit
won by Toll Brothers that resulted
in the high density Estates at Princeton Junction development.
At the Council meeting after
Hsueh’s speech, township attorney
Michael Herbert called the recent
affordable housing court ruling
“one of the biggest issues to hit
West Windsor in many, many
years.”
Maher said Council is on top of
the issue, and he suggested West
Windsor’s attorneys make a public
presentation on the issue.
Other news. Council approved
three contracts relating to road improvements. (See story, page 12.)
The Earle Asphalt Company will
resurface Alexander Road for
$426,213; Roberts Engineering
Group will survey and engineer the
Conover Road shared bike pathways for $24,800; and BANC3 will

Awareness Day on April 2.
Also present were members of
the West Windsor and Princeton
Junction fire departments, township employees, and West Windsor
police officers, as well as Boy
Scout Troop 40 members, who read
an official proclamation.
On the previous Saturday, Troop
40 scouts and police officers spent
hours cutting special blue lighting
film, which the scouts placed on
lights throughout the municipal
complex and senior center, the police department, and fire departments. All were simultaneously lit
in blue lighting at 6:45 p.m. The

was also turned blue, as was fire
truck Ladder 43.
The West Windsor Light It Up
Blue ceremony was the brainchild
of West Windsor resident and
Troop 40 scout parent Justine diNardo Lim, who worked with Sergeant Mark Lee of the West Wind-
sor police to bring the idea to fruition. The West Windsor Town
Council had also issued a Proclamation for World Autism Awareness Day at its March 23 meeting.
The township, police, and fire
department buildings will be lit
throughout the month of April,
which is Autism Awareness Month.

aligned to current curricula and the
state standards.
“The K-5 teacher committee is
recommending the following
changes in an effort to promote
consistency in the format of the report cards for K-5: Moving to a trimester reporting timeframe with
report cards in December, March
and June; having three performance levels for assessing academic content area indicators as
gram administrator, community
education.
The two new technology positions reflect the decision to realign
responsibilities within the technology division will allow for the addition of these two positions at no
additional increase to the budget,
and the additional community education position also reflects a decision to realign portions of that department.
Several staff members have announced their retirement: Deborah
Batchelor, supervisor of special
services, retiring after 15 years
with the district; special education
teachers Cheryl Ciaranca and Elizabeth McCormick, who are retiring
after 25 and 26 years with the district, respectively; and Lynn Grodnick, ESL teacher, who is retiring
after 31 years with the district.
Also Vanessa Clax, Village elementary teacher, retiring after 26
years; Gail Dresher, learning disabilities teacher consultant, retiring
after seven years; Gregg Smith,
computer literacy teacher, retiring
after 36 years; and Brenda Lee
Wener, math teacher, retiring after
25 years with the district.
The next board meeting will be
held Tuesday, April 28, at 7:30 p.m.
at Community Middle School. The
board will hold a public hearing on
the proposed 2015-’16 school budget at that time.
Proposed changes to
K-5 report cards include eliminating letter
grades for fourth and
fifth graders.
well as assessing social and learning behaviors; and in language arts,
indicating the child’s current reading level as well as the benchmarks
for each trimester.
“Finally, letter grades will no
longer be given to fourth and fifth
graders in any subject.” Krug noted
that the teachers will meet throughout the month of April to finalize
the wording of the indicators in
each content area.
In personnel matters, the board
approved job descriptions for three
new positions: technology manager, supervisor of technology, training, and media resources, and pro-

North Girls Top South Lax
W
by Samantha Sciarrotta
hen the High School North and
High School South girls’ lacrosse
teams squared off on April 13,
both squads could have used the win to possibly change the course of their respective
seasons. The Pirates, then 1-5, and the 2-3
Knights both had tough schedules to start the
season.
So when North came out on top 16-3 and
brought its record to an even .500, head
coach Beth Serughetti said it was a “huge
positive” that could set the tone for the rest of
the year.
“We always go into [games versus South]
understanding that whatever our record is
doesn’t matter,” she said. “It’s always going
to be a battle. I felt that we worked hard
through the whole game. We have more experienced players, veterans who really
helped us get that big win. We’re always
looking for those games where we connect
and keep it clean and hope that any game like
that will help push us to the next game.”
Juniors and seniors, many of whom have
been varsity starters since their freshman
seasons, lead the way for the Knights. Sarah
Carlen, Catherine Mak, Talise Redmond,
Courtney Dignan, Haley Ghesani, Kylie
Mulhall, and Natalie Munoz all make up the
senior core. All seven start, and they would
have been joined by classmate Alex Hendry,
but an ACL tear left her unable to play.
It’s the high-scoring juniors, though, who
have provided a good majority of the squad’s
offense since they joined the team. Carli Harpel, whose sister Olivia was a stalwart for the
Knights before graduating, currently leads
the Knights in goals (15), assists (4), and
points (19). Morgan Hendry is close behind
with 12 goals, four assists, and 16 points.
Classmate Vic L’Insalata provides a healthy
dose of security at midfield. All three have
already verbally committed to Division I
schools. Harpel will join her sister at Northwestern, Hendry will attend Johns Hopkins,
and L’Insalata is headed to the University of
Maryland. All three are top-20 programs.
“They’re very committed to the sport,”
Serughetti said. “They live, eat, and breathe
lacrosse. It’s nice having those types of players for the other girls to emulate.”
Rachel Loo, another junior, is starting as
goalkeeper for the first time. Serughetti said
she has adapted to her new role well.
“She’s shown a lot of improvement since
last year,” she said. “She’s much more vocal
and more aggressive out of the cage.”
Serughetti hopes to see the girls continue
to grow and build chemistry — and they’ll
need to, as the remainder of the season comes
with a tough slate of matches. All those

games can do, said Serughetti, is help the
Knights by the time the playoffs start.
“We have a difficult schedule, but it will
help is in the postseason,” she said. “As
tough as it is, gearing up for every single
game will help us in the long run.”
T
he Pirates are in a similar situation. Allentown, the Brunswick schools, and
Notre Dame are all on the docket, but that
hasn’t discouraged players like Dana Salerno (14 points) and Amanda Easter (13
points). And with first-year head coach Colleen Hancox at the helm, there is plenty of
room for growth.
Hancox comes to South after a well-traveled career that took her from Moorestown
High School and the College of William &
Mary in her playing days to coaching at Great
Britain’s Guildford High School and for
Scotland’s national team in an assistant role.

Walk With
or Without a Dog
T
he fourth annual Central New
Jersey Bark Now for Autism
Speaks, a 5K dog-friendly walk,
will take place on Saturday, April
25, at Mercer County Park in West
Windsor. The event offers a safe
and fun day for families impacted
by autism with refreshments for
both dogs and people and music by
94.5 PST. Check-in opens at 8:30
a.m. and the walk begins at 9 a.m.
All event proceeds support Autism Speaks, as well as help to increase awareness about the growing autism health crisis, fund innovative autism research and family
services, and advocate for the
needs of individuals with autism
and their families in New Jersey
and beyond. Founded in 2005, the
organization has committed more
than $525 million to its mission,
the majority in science and medical
research.
April is Autism Awareness
Month and was honored by the
town earlier this month (see story,
page 15). Autism is a general term
used to describe a group of complex developmental brain disorders, autism spectrum disorders,
caused by a combination of genes
and environmental influences.
These disorders are characterized,
in varying degrees, by communication difficulties, social and behavioral challenges, as well as repetitive behaviors. There is currently
no medical detection or cure for
autism.
Committee members include
Emily Josephson of West Windsor,
who has chaired the event for the
past few years. Committee members also include Laurie Bershad
from West Windsor; and Warren
Schaeffer, a 2003 graduate of High
School South and a former Plains-

a workshop in partnership with
Manavi NJ, Womanspace, and the
women of Trenton Area Soup
Kitchen’s writing group. Amy Chu,
boro resident. People are
invited to walk with or
without dogs.
Josephson’s focus in the
organization is on community involvement including outreach and recruitment for Autism Speaks. “I
really feel strongly about
the organization; it does a
great job with newly diagnosed families — including who to talk to and
where to go,” says Josephson, who became involved
with the organization more
than 10 years ago. Autism
Speaks raises funds and
awareness, helps families
affected by autism, and advocates for families with
autism.
Raised in Pittsburgh, Josephson graduated from Penn State
and headed for New York City. She
worked in national advertising in
magazines for 15 years and is now
an instructional assistant for an
eighth grade student at Community
Middle School.
Josephson is an executive of the
Jewish Community Center and is
on Abrams Day Camp’s committee. She is also a founding member
of Jewish Families and Children
Services’ special needs task force.
Her husband, Seth Josephson,
was raised on a farm in Hightstown.
He is an attorney with a private
practice in West Windsor. The family lived in Plainsboro for five
years and in West Windsor for the
past 13 years. Their children are
also involved in the organization.
Isabel is a sophomore at High
School South. Louis is an eighth
grade student at Grover Middle
School.
“Autism Awareness plays a vital
role in improving the quality of life
of all those affected by autism,”
says Emily Josephson. “By raising
author of “Supergirl,” talks about
how comics and graphic novels
differ from fiction writing. Ilene
Dube of West Windsor presents
learning strategies for making
compelling and powerful super
women characters. Artist Katie
Truk works with participants to
manifest their characters visually.

amilton’s Sylvan Learning
Center is celebrating the
launch of Sylvan EDGE, a series of
hands-on classes that empower
parents to incorporate STEM into
their children’s after-school activities. “Find Your Edge” will be held
on Saturday, April 25, for families,
scout leaders, coaches, and educators to help children find their edge
by experiencing Sylvan’s new
hands-on robotics and coding activities in a fun and creative atmosphere.
The event, geared to families
with children in grades one through
six, will provide children with the
opportunity to build and animate
LEGO robots, design video games,
solve fun math brain boosters, and
more. Admission is free.
The center is owned by Mark
Kance, who lived in both Princeton
Collection and the Gentry in
Plainsboro as a child. He played
baseball with the WWP Cubs and
later played and taught tennis. He
attended Wicoff and Upper Elementary schools in Plainsboro.
“Open classrooms were a challenge at the high school,” he says.

He graduated from Hofstra University with a bachelor’s degree in
marketing and received a master’s
degree in teaching from the College of New Jersey. He taught
fourth and sixth grades in Pennsylvania.
“Teaching provided a great start
to the future,” he says (The News,
May 10, 2013). When Kance
learned about Sylvan he saw it as
an opportunity to continue his
work. “Being in an education business I can help others by managing
the entire learning experience and I
want to make sure that kids and
families get all of the success possible from the program.”
“We pride ourselves on having
strong relationships with local educators and a robust presence here in
Hamilton and continue to be heavily committed to increasing STEM
proficiency among children in our
local community,” said Mark
Kance, who was raised in West
Windsor. “We want to provide parents with the opportunity to start
STEM education at an early age in
order to better prepare their children for the future job market.”

ndia Foundation of Metropolitan
Princeton presents this year’s
Holi festival at West Windsor Community Park on Saturday, April 18,
from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Holi, the
festival of colors, is a unique experience where color, kites, fun, and
food provide a backdrop to welcoming spring.
“We often hear about the United
States of America as a melting pot
where diversity can be a unifying
factor,” says Bharat Sethi, treasurer
of IFMP. “There are many such examples at multiple levels and
amongst them is India Foundation
of Metropolitan Princeton, IFMP.
Since 1977 IFMP has been involved in bringing community together and promoting harmony
through, cultural, social, and musical events. Each year has been a
step towards creating more awareness, but this year has brought in a
new surge with a bigger vision with
new leadership and a lot of enthusiastic committee members volunteering their free time to ensure that
the Indian culture, traditions, and
values are passed on to the next
generation.”
Sanjay Phanse, a resident of
West Windsor for more than 20
years, is the newly elected president of IFMP. He is an IT and management consultant. He led the organization to announce scholarships for graduating students in
High Schools North and South, as
well as East Windsor High School.
The scholarship will be offered to
students who, besides being good
at academics are also involved with
community service. Committee
members also include Bharti
Shroff, vice president; Priya Sundarraman, secretary; and Gaurav
Tyagi, as joint secretary.
The IFMP youth group has provided music and dance programs to
entertain elders in the rehabilita-
tion centers and nursing homes. “I
wish we could explain the joy in
some audience members who
clapped and tapped from their
wheel chairs, and it even made
someone try playing guitar with
shaking hands,” says Sethi. “It is all
voluntary where kids learn the joy
of getting by giving, once again
nurturing the spirit of better citizenship.”
IFMP has also been involved
with aiding in national and international events, including organizing
musicals to collect money for people impacted by Hurricane Sandy
and the tsunami that impacted Japan. The youth groups have raised
funds to sponsor schools in remote
tribal villages in India where the
children have no access to primary
education, helping the cause to
eradicate illiteracy from India.
Annual events include a picnic
in late summer and Navratri with
garba and dandia music and dance
in autumn. The annual function of
IFMP is a dance program where
more than 200 kids of all ages present their talent.
“With all these cultural and social events, IFMP is quietly playing

Exhibit Celebrates Stults Farm’s Centennial
S
tults Farm, situated on the border of Plainsboro and Cranbury,
is celebrating the farm’s centennial
this year. The family shared highlights from the farm’s history, including antique farm tools, with
Cranbury Museum for an exhibit,
“Stults Farm, Est. 1915: 100 Years
of Family Farming,” on view Sundays through June 14.
“While our exhibit started to focus on the centennial anniversary
of Stults farm, we discovered a
richer history that started in 1753
when Johannes Heinrich Stoltz arrived in Philadelphia from Germany,” says Karen Kelley, a member
of the Cranbury Historical Society.
“The Stults family shared some
pictures, articles, and a few family
items. The exhibit also relied on
pictures, articles from the Cranbury History Center, and items
from our museum collection. The
genealogy research came from our
history center, articles, books, and
the Internet.”

that same year, Stults Farm was the
first farm in Middlesex County to
be permanently preserved through
the Farmland Preservation Program.
In 1997 Brian C. Stults formed a
farming partnership with his father,
Stanley C. Stults Jr. The family
owns, manages, and provides the
work force on the 200 acres of preserved farmland. The family includes Stanley and Jill, their son

“The story of the Stults family is
similar to that of many Cranbury
farming families who arrived in the
eighteenth century. Their ancestors
emigrated from Europe and eventually settled among the rich farmlands of Cranbury. The farmers
raised large families and their children remained in the area for generations, continuing to farm.
These Cranbury farmers were
neighbors, extended families, business partners, and members of the
community. They attended the
Cranbury Presbyterian and Methodist Churches. Families, such as
Stults, Perrine, Dey, Wyckoff, Snedeker, Rue, Conover, Reid, Van
Kirk, and Vorhees, joined the earlier established Yankee families of
Applegate, Mount, Stites, Wetherill, and Barclay.
Charles Addison Stults, known
as C. Addison, was born in Prospect Plains on April 7, 1857. He
raised corn, wheat, rye, and potatoes on a 160 acre farm until 1920.
The land eventually became the
Rossmoor Community in Monroe.
Clifford Addison Stults, one of
Charles Addison’s six children,
was also born at the Prospect Plains
farm on August 20, 1888. Clifford,
known as Kip or C. Addison,
helped his father with the Prospect
Plains farm until 1915. He purchased a 93 acre farm on Cranbury
Neck Road in Cranbury from Elmer Bergen. He raised potatoes and
wheat and later, soybeans and corn.
In 1919, when the township of
Plainsboro was created, the farm
was divided into 60 acres in Plainsboro and 40 acres in Cranbury.
Stanley C. Stults, son of Clifford
Addison, was born on August 20,
1921, in the Stults farmhouse on
Cranbury Neck Road. By 1944,
Stanley C. began farming with his
father and earned $15 a week. In
1950, Stanley C. took over the
farming business and in 1966
bought the farm from his father’s
estate.
In 1968, Stanley C. Stults Jr.,
known as Kip, graduated from high
school and began to farm with his
father. In 1971 Kip formed a partnership with his father. By the early
1980s, they leased and farmed
more than 600 acres in Cranbury
and Plainsboro, growing potatoes,
field corn, soybeans, and wheat.
In 1984, Kip and his wife, Jill,
purchased the farm from Kip’s father, who retired. “Pick Your Own”

Wong Group Debuts at Small World
M
att Wong of West Windsor debuts
the Matt Wong Group at Small
World Coffee in Princeton on Saturday, April 18, at 8:30 p.m. Wong, a senior
at High School South, picked up the guitar
at age six and has been playing ever since.
He will move to Boston in the fall to attend
Berklee College of Music.
“This is my first show with my current
project, the Matt Wong Group,” says Wong.
“I’ve taken a break from my usual solo guitar show for the past couple months to work
on more of a jazz/rock sound. The music
that I’ve been working on recently is much
different from the solo acoustic guitar show
that people are used to seeing me do.”
Born in New Jersey, Wong has been living in West Windsor for most of his 17
years. His mother, Lilian Tsang, works at
Princeton University, and his father, Bill
Wong, works at Princeton Financial Systems. His sister Molly, 11, is a sixth grade
student at Grover Middle School.
Wong, 17, began his music career at age
13 playing in various venues in the Princeton area. Since then, he has gone on to play
throughout the New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and New York areas, and has released two
albums.
Highlights of Wong’s touring include
performing with Grammy Award-winning
guitarist Earl Klugh, sharing the stage with
singer/songwriters Sarah Donner and Avi
Wisnia, and performances at venues such as
the Blue Note Jazz Club (New York City),
the Legendary Dobbs (Philadelphia), and
The Saint (Asbury Park). A 2013 Jersey
Acoustic Music Awards nominee, Wong
has released two albums, his latest titled
“Reflections” in June, 2014.
The band features Kai Kiernan on bass,
Mike Coiro on drums, and Aidan Furlong
on tenor sax. “All of the guys are really
hardworking musicians, and they all have
very creative ideas to bring to rehearsals,”
says Wong. “This is why I love working in a
band so much — the interaction with other
musicians gives me a fresh perspective on
the music, and helps me improve as a player
and a writer.”
Kiernan, born and raised in West Windsor, is a graduate of High School South and
a student at Mason Gross School of the Arts
at Rutgers. “I’ve been playing bass for almost 10 years, but have been playing jazz
seriously for around four years,” says Kiernan. “I like how there is no ego, just a bunch
of guys trying to play music and get better at
just that.”
Coiro, a student at Peddie School, has
been playing drums for six years as well as
bass for four years, and guitar and piano for
two years. “The best part of playing in this
band is learning to play and jam with such
great musicians, and I also love our outgoing yet serious rehearsals,” says Coiro. “I
consistently look forward to playing with
this group, which is a special thing.”
Furlong, also a student at Mason Gross,
has been playing saxophones of all shapes
and sizes, but primarily tenor, since he was
in sixth grade. “I love playing in this particular band because instead of the straight
ahead jazz I usually play, this gives me an
opportunity to be a little more experimental
and push everyone outside their comfort
zone,” says Furlong. “But it’s far from totally out there with the intensely tight time
and written parts.”
“Working with these guys has been a lot
of fun,” says Wong. “I’ve known Kai since
elementary school, and we played in another group together briefly a couple years
ago. I met Mike over the summer in Boston
while attending the five-week performance
program at Berklee. I heard him play at a
jam session the first night of the program,
and I was immediately amazed. Aidan has
only recently joined the group, but he’s a
killer player.”
“The music that we will play is a mix of
originals by Kai and myself, and covers of
tunes by artists we really enjoy,” says
Wong. “I would describe this new music as

A patron at Big Fish was the victim of theft on Wednesday, April 8.
She left her purse hanging on the
back of her chair and later observed
that her wallet was missing. She
canceled her credit and bank cards
and discovered that her U.S. Bank
card had been used at Target and
subsequently declined, and her
Chase Marriott card was used at
Dick’s Sporting Goods and Target.
Identity Theft. A West Windsor
resident reported online on
Wednesday, April 1, that he received an E-mail from an actor posing as Apple asking him to log into
his account with personal information. The victim realized this was
likely a scam and informed Apple’s
fraud unit.
A West Windsor resident reported online on Wednesday, April 1,

Simple Assault. Police responded to a fight at Chuck E.
Cheese on Friday, April 10. The
victim, a 30-year-old female, reported that she attempted to find
the adult in charge of a large group
of unruly and unsupervised children. That woman in turn contacted
her aunt, 36, who was outside the
store and allegedly began yelling at
and pushing the victim. The aunt
confirmed that version of events
but said that the victim pushed her,
too. The niece confirmed that there
was a verbal argument but denied
physical contact. The aunt, niece,

water skiing. A group of teenagers
decided that they would try it out.
They launched a motorboat that
was capable of speeds high enough
to tow skiers successfully. Of
course, most of the pond was still
quite shallow then — two or three
feet deep — so there was much
concern that someone would be seriously injured if they fell from the
skis and hit the bottom.
Nevertheless the skiers kept it
up until the township put together
an ordinance that banned it. The ordinance — which is still in effect
— states that the largest motorboat
engine allowed on the pond is 7.5
horsepower. That’s much too small
for water skiing. The same ordinance states that motorboats cannot be operated between 11 p.m.
and 7 a.m.
S
peaking of prohibitions, ice
skating is, too. Even if the ice
were a foot thick, West Windsor
does not allow skating on Grovers
Mill Pond. There was a lot of ice
this past winter, but if you wanted
to skate you had to go to Lake
Carnegie, where, for a while, you
could skate most of the way to
Kingston.
In addition to fish, the pond has
seen a modest comeback of turtles.
I’ve only seen a few myself lately,
but I hear there are both snappers
and painted turtles. Many years ago
— before the pond area was disturbed by local residents — there
were many snappers there. Some

feet long. That’s big enough to pull
you into the water if they got hold
of your foot.
The painted turtles were very
abundant and sometimes left the
pond area to explore local residential properties. They were always
crossing Clarksville and Cranbury
roads, and they usually got across
safely because there wasn’t much
traffic. I saw quite a few on my
lawn at times. They’re about six to
eight inches long and have colorful
red and yellow stripes on their legs
and heads that look as if they’ve
been painted on with a brush. The
back of the shell has a pattern of
yellow stripes. When I found one, I
took it down to the pond.
There were also box tortoises,
but they don’t live in the water. I
had a couple of those in my backyard in the city when I was a kid.
They actually hibernated in the
winter by digging a hole in the dirt.
Very educational to see if you were
a would-be reptologist.
An important factor in the lack
of fishing and boating on the pond
is probably the changing population as West Windsor has become
more developed as a residential
community. There just aren’t many
people living here these days who
want to spend their time towing a
boat or fishing from one. So be it.
And I haven’t even mentioned
hunting. Back in the 1960s and
’70s you could always tell that
hunting season had started when
you heard the early morning reports of the shotguns along the waterways — mainly the Millstone
River and Big Bear Brook. These
were the favorite places for people
to hunt duck and geese. Other huntable game in the township included
deer, fox, coyote, pheasant, and
wild turkey. But there aren’t many
of these still around, and hunting in
the township is subject to very severe restrictions, anyway, so few
people do it these days. I haven’t
heard a shotgun in many years.
Just a couple of days ago I got
up shortly after dawn and saw four
young deer walking casually down
my road. They were just taking
their time, nibbling a little grass
now and then, but mainly just inspecting the neighborhood. As they
disappeared into the woods at the
end of the road I could imagine
them agreeing that the forest and
open space they preferred was not
to be found in this neighborhood.
Maybe the Howard Hughes folks
could make a home for them in a
wildlife refuge or fenceless “zoo”
out their way. The square mile their
property takes up in our township
couldn’t be put to better use.
