‘Community First’ Slate for Council Run

T
he Democrat-affiliated slate
announced its candidacy for
this fall’s non-partisan election. Three West Windsor Council
seats, and majority control of
Council, is up for grabs this year.
Council member George Borek
is running for a third consecutive
term, and joining him on the
“Community First” ticket are former Council member Alison Miller and attorney Ayesha Krishnan
Hamilton.
In a press release, the slate announced its platform focused on
“implementing proactive and responsible long-term planning;
managing traffic and improving
safety for pedestrians and cyclists;
preserving open space and maintaining recreational fields and facilities.”
Borek has served on Council
since 2007, while Miller previously served on Council from 1993 to
1999 and 2001 to 2005. Miller is
also a member of the township’s
Parking Authority and Affordable
Housing Committee, and she is an
officer of Friends of West Windsor

ith the goal of improving services for the next
generation of supporters, Plainsboro Library recently
hired a new head of youth services. Earlier this month Darren Miguez, right, joined library, where
he will oversee the library collection for children and teenagers.
There are also plans for additional
youth programming.
“The library adds a gateway to a
wider culture,” Miguez says. “To
get people on the path to learn
about themselves and the wider
world, and a place to socialize —
the library can provide those
things.”
The youth collection is located
on the third floor, but the library
has emphasized expanding services to adjust to the digital age
and go beyond its traditional role
of providing books.

To The Editor:
A Clarification on
Affordable Housing
I
read your article by Vincent Xu
concerning the Affordable
Housing (the News, July 10).
The article was pretty good. Unfortunately, he stated something that
makes a wrong impression about
the costs to current residents who
live in developments with Mt. Laurel units. I know, because I live in a
condo that has Mt. Laurel housing
units.
Residents of complexes
that include affordable
housing may not pay
for that housing directly, but the costs are
there in the form of
higher association fees.
In the article, Mr. Xu states:
“Another misconception concerns
who pays for the low and moderate
income housing. Jacobsohn notes
that funding for affordable housing
construction is paid for by the
housing developers, not by current
residents.”
This might give the perception
that residents do not bear any costs
for the Mt. Laurel units. But this is
entirely false. Mt. Laurel units pay

heavily discounted HSA dues at a
rate of around one-third the rate of
the conventional units. This was
placed in the condo By-Laws,
probably as part of an agreement
when the condos were built. Therefore, current residents bear a heavy
cost of this by paying higher dues
to make up for this discount.
Currently, there is no funding
method available (at least in Plainsboro) to make up for these costs.
Our HSA has never received any
funding for our Mt. Laurel units.

New Loan Disclosure Rules
T
he Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau announced that new Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure
requirements combining two existing disclosures under TILA
and RESPA are coming, making
mortgage disclosure easier for
consumers to understand.
Federal law had previously
required lenders to provide two
different disclosure forms to
consumers applying for a mortgage, and two different forms
at or shortly before closing on
the loan. Due to overlapping
information and inconsistent language, consumers often found
these forms confusing.
As of October 1, 2015, the
Good Faith Estimate and the
initial Truth-in-Lending disclosure (initial TIL) will be combined into a new form, the Loan
Estimate, while the HUD-1 and
final Truth-in-Lending disclo-
sure (final TIL and,
together with the
initial TIL, the Truthin-Lending forms) will
be combined into the
Closing Disclosure.
The new forms
clarify all of the costs
of a consumer’s
transaction by spelling out key information such as interest
rate, monthly payments, and costs to
close the loan. The
forms also provide
more information
to help consumers decide whether
they can afford the loan and to
facilitate comparison of the cost
of different loan offers, including
the cost of the loans over time.

this point. Unfortunately, it also required a lot of money. Along with
our diplomas, we will be leaving
college with over $1.2 trillion in
debt.
Even with the job market improving, it will be difficult to find
jobs that will help us save money
while we work and pay off student
loans. Many businesses in the private sector are foregoing retirement savings programs — such as
401(k)s and pensions — possibly
due to time or cost issues.
New Jersey Secure Choice Savings Act, supported by AARP, is
our answer. With bipartisan support, this bill creates a simple and
convenient system for employees
to automatically save part of their
paycheck towards an IRA managed
by an investment firm. This optional deduction is minimal, but will
accumulate beneficial savings in
the long-run. The account is also
portable, so employees can continue to save throughout their careers.
The opportunities in our future
should excite us, not scare us. With
Secure Choice, businesses can help
their employees save for their future.

‘T
hey say you need to give
your children roots and
wings to thrive, and we
are lucky that our kids have had all
four grandparents to give them
both. The oldest, Pop, will be 90
years old in November, and grandma, the youngest, my mom, turned
80 this year. We count every day
with them as a treasure not to be
taken for granted. We understand
that more than anything else, the
gift of time that they have been able
to give to our children is one that
they will carry with them for the
rest of their lives.”
This is an excerpt from one of
my columns last year. Sadly, Pop
did not live to see his 90th birthday;
he passed away on September 8,
just six weeks shy of that milestone.
The coming anniversary of
Pop’s death is very much top of
mind as we prepare to head to
Pennsylvania this weekend for our
annual Brossman family reunion at
the bungalow outside Allentown. It
was canceled last year because Pop
had just taken a fall, and it was the
beginning of his swift decline toward the end. It has been a year of
the first “withouts” — that 90th
birthday that came and went without him enjoying his coconut cake,
that first Thanksgiving where he
wasn’t at the table to share in the
bounty, that first Christmas where
we hung the ornaments and his absence was a presence in the otherwise festive room.
The most notable without Pop
moment happened in the spring,
when our niece gave birth to his
first great-grandchild. He would
have been thrilled to meet little

generation, and he only missed her

more insistent that her parents

her father to stop driving. It turns
out that her dad, about the same age
as mine, had been in a number of
car accidents that he had hidden
from his five children. The last accident put both her parents in the
hospital, her dad with a traumatic
brain injury that still affects his
clarity today. I know she wrestles
with the should haves and could

in forcing him to do something he
didn’t want to do.

mother-in-law did agree to getting
a Life Alert Device (you know, the
ones made famous on TV with the
“Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get
up” commercial) and that does give
us some peace of mind.
We all miss Pop very much and
we will think of him as we gather
underneath the giant trees for our
traditional Pennsylvania Dutch
picnic. And as we see the birds and
the squirrels in the feeders he put
out for them, in the straight lines of
the house and the deck he loved so
much, and in the faces of his grandchildren and now, great-grandchild, we will know he’s with us.

diti Pal and Shivangi Sood, rising
freshmen at High School South and
members of Girl Scout Troop 70050, completed their Silver Award project. They both
joined Girl Scouts in fifth grade because the
duo had realized that the organization was
the perfect way to spend time together while
helping their community.
The pair based their project on the realization that the younger children of this generation had a severe lack of health education.
They started Safety and Wellness Awareness
Camp at YWCA, a youth enrichment program. They created lesson plans for the twoweek camp, with Pal in charge of teaching
nutrition and fitness and Sood in charge of
teaching kids how to stay safe in different
situations. “This project was very exciting
for me because I really enjoy working with
children,” Pal said.
They were supported by their troop leader, Trupti Gandhi; their mentor at YWCA,
Tara O’Shea; and their parents, Neetu Pal
and Deepti Sood. “Even though there was a
lot of hard work put into this project, I
wouldn’t hesitate to do it again,” says Sood.
nika Shenoy is raising awareness about
Type 2 diabetes as part of her Girl Scout

foods,” she says. “Another cause is the decrease of physical activity in children due to
spending more time on electronic gadgets.”
Shenoy is a rising eighth grade student at
Thomas Grover Middle School. She moved
from Canada three years ago and has been a
Girl Scout for two years. A Plainsboro resident, she is in Troop 71110 with leader Debi
Vivona. Her mentor is Dr. Sucheta Trasi.
“Ideally, when a person consumes food,
their body breaks it down into various nutrients,” says Shenoy. “Insulin is released from
the pancreas. Its job is to help glucose enter
the body’s cells for future use. For someone
with Type 2, cells become less sensitive to
insulin and sufficient insulin cannot be produced. This causes blood sugar (glucose in
your blood) to rise.”
Shenoy volunteers in a religious organization to teach children ages 3 to 6 traditional

dances to keep them fit while learning about
their culture in a fun way. She plays volleyball and has been learning traditional Indian
dancing for six years and is learning Hindi
through the HindiUSA program. She is also
enrolled in STARTALK’s Hindi immersion
program through University of Maryland’s
national foreign language center.
“This project is relevant to me, as well as
my family,” says Shenoy. “Having a family
history of diabetes, I know the difficulties
people with this disease face. Also, I have
noticed the growing Southeast-Asian population and wanted to make people aware of
this disease which can strike at an early age if
one does not lead a healthy lifestyle.”
Her workshops include information about
eating healthy, exercising, and drinking
enough water. She suggests eating vegetables of different colors, following MyPlate
Guidelines, and eating more home-cooked
foods. Shenoy also recommends exercising
for an hour a day, getting plenty of rest, and
drinking enough water to stay hydrated.
Her project teaches kids how to stay
healthy through games, crafts, prizes, and
snacks. E-mail her at [email protected] to schedule a one-hour
workshop for children.

tennis. An objective of the USTA Foundation
is to encourage America’s youth to pursue
their goals and highest dreams by succeeding in school and becoming responsible citizens.
“The USTA Foundation is once again excited to award these hard-working, well-deserving seniors,” said Dan Faber, USTA
Foundation executive director. “We are
proud to contribute to their academic
achievements, and look forward to their continued success.”

The free five-week summer program, on the
Lawrenceville School campus in Lawrenceville, created a rigorous inter-disciplinary experience for 39 students from
New Jersey. “Climate Change and the Human Experience” examined the subject
through the lenses of history and politics,
literature, science, sociology, and anthropology.
The students learned to think in an interdisciplinary way through reading assignments, lectures, and small group seminars.
They also performed in an arts festival featuring music, drama, dance, and art. Kaisth’s research paper, “A Policy of Exploitative Inaction: Modern Corporate Colonialism and Climate Change,” was one of two
selected to be presented at graduation.

for $14.95. The play “draws together the
lives of five seemingly disparate characters:
A hard-driving businessman struggling to
raise his grandson. A paroled convict hoping to find redemption. A shy college professor trying to win the approval of his students. A middle-aged office manager pressured to hide her secrets. And a haunted
young man hungry for revenge. As their
stories unfold in plots both tragic and comic,
these desperate souls find themselves intertwined in each other’s battles and dreams.”

Jaworowski, a staff editor for the
New York Times, is a regular contributor to the culture section of the
paper. Some days he writes plays
and some days he reviews plays.
He has been writing plays for close
to 15 years, and has seen his plays
performed in New York, Scotland,
and London.
“I grew up in a working-class
neighborhood in Philadelphia and
like to focus on characters who
have to face difficult though recognizable choices including work vs.
family, money vs. integrity, and
loyalty vs. breaking away,” he
says. “I think there can be real magic and true tragedy in even the
smallest moments of our lives.”
Jaworowski’s journalism career
began when he was a reporter for
Bloomberg News. “As a journalist
I loved to tell stories, and I saw
playwriting as an extension of that
— a way to explore who we are and
why we do the things we do,” he
says.
He has lived in West Windsor for
eight years with his wife, Michele,
an accountant; and their two children, ages 8 and 12, who attend
WW-P schools. “My wife has the
math aptitude, I have the literature
gene, and my daughter caught the
acting bug,” he says. “She just finished a summer program at the
Kelsey Theater that culminated in
her acting and singing for two
nights.”
“With some luck I hope to have
another play over in England soon,
but for now ‘Believers’ is taking all
of my time,” says Jaworowski.
“We just cast the four actors and got
some terrific talent.”

Lemonade for

B
rothers Arjun, 7, and Rohan
Khanna, 4, and their friend
Pranay Mahesh Vittal, 11, held
their second annual lemonade
stand in West Windsor on August 2.
Proceeds benefited Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, an American pediatric cancer charity to raise
money for cancer research and increase awareness among people.
“The kids worked very hard to
make the event a success,” says
Sumit Khanna, the father of the
brothers. “In addition to handmade signs that they posted outside
and around our development, they
also dropped flyers in each of the
110 homes in our development.”
The parents helped to spread the
word through social media, and
contacted West Windsor Township
officials including the mayor,
council members, the police chief,
and the department.
“All the efforts that the kids put
in, paid off,” says Khanna. “The
kids had a great turn out and ended
up beating their own goal. In 2014,
the kids had set a goal of raising
$100 and ended up raising $414.
This year, they set a goal of $400
and ended up raising $611.” All
proceeds were sent to the foundation.
“The kids are very proud of their
accomplishment and they had a
great time during the fundraiser,”
says Khanna. “They were very excited to see Lieutenant Robert
Garofalo and Sergeant Mark Lee
from the West Windsor Police Department stop by. The police car
with the flashing lights was one of
the highlights of the event and
helped draw in more people.”

ryan Singer, a 1984 graduate
of West Windsor-Plainsboro
High School, has been busy making movies. He is currently directing “X-Men: Apocalypse,” set to
open in May.
In collaboration with Same
Name Productions, Singer is codeveloping a documentary exploring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
through the vantage point of a dynamic Arab-Israeli activist. The
film, now known as “In the Middle
of the Middle East,” follows a
young man as he navigates personal and political minefields, determined to advance a workable solution for coexistence in the Middle
East, while searching for true peace
within himself. Singer may make
his documentary directorial debut.
Christopher McQuarrie, also
a graduate of WW-P High School,
was on his way to the police academy when former schoolmate
Fundraisers: Pranay
Vittal, left, Arjun
Khanna, and Rohan

Singer offered him the opportunity
to write their debut feature film,
“Public Access.” It was the winner
of the 1993 Sundance Film Festival’s grand jury prize. McQuarrie
went on to write and direct “The
Way of the Gun,” starring Benicio
del Toro, Ryan Phillippe, and
James Caan. He also wrote and
produced “Valkyrie,” starring Tom
Cruise and directed by Singer.
Though Singer won Sundance
with his first film, his 1995 film,
“The Usual Suspects,” made him
famous. The film earned two Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Kevin Spacey
and Best Original Screenplay for
McQuarrie, a 1986 graduate of
WW-P High School. Singer’s third
feature film, “Apt Pupil,” featured
bits and pieces of WW-P High
School, including the green and
gold colors, “Welcome Pirates”
signs, the pirate as a mascot, and
used at least one teacher’s name in
hallways conversations — Susan
Fiscarelli, who taught history at
WW-P. Singer earned the Saturn
Award for Best Director from the
academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Horror.
Singer, who also directed previous “X-Men” films, “Superman
Returns,” “Jack and the Giant Slayer,” and others, was executive producer on the Emmy and Golden
Globe Award winning Fox series
“House” set at the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital.
Both Singer and McQuarrie
have been honored by the WW-P
District as Wall of Honor inductees.

Newcomer Joins Two Mainstays for Council Run
WW Election
by Vincent Xu tice in 2005, working as a generalist Hamilton. She is a member of the
P school correspondent for The
News, was recruited to join the
ticket but she declined due to health
reasons.
Grace Power, an attorney at the
firm Eckert Seamans, is the ticket’s
campaign manager. Last December she was named president of the
West Windsor Democratic Club.
Miller says she is on the West
Windsor Township Democratic
County Committee, and Borek
says his wife, Kimberly, serves on
the same committee. However,
both candidates emphasized their
responsibility is to the community.
“We’re not beholden to anyone,” Borek says. “We have to
make the right decisions for residents.”
Miller says that though they are
all Democrats, they do not make a
habit of connecting West Windsor
with state and national issues. In
addition, she supports a return to
the practice of rotating offices and
liaison positions among Council
members.
“It’s all a question of working
for the good of the community,”
Miller says.
The “Community First” slate
will match up against the Republican-affiliated team of Council
member Hemant Marathe, Virginia
Manzari, and Gerald Halloran.
The previous Council election in
2013 also included independent
candidates Deborah Hepler and
Martin Whitfield. Their campaign
manager, Rocky Proccacini, would
not rule out a 2015 independent run
— so the municipal elections may
get more crowded yet.
G
eorge Borek and Alison
Miller are mainstays on the
political scene, but the third
candidate on the “Community
First” Council ticket is a newcomer
with a law office on Roszel Road.
Ayesha Hamilton and her family
moved to West Windsor in 2013,
and she has grown to love the town.
Two weeks after moving into
town, she signed up her two children for Black Bear Lake Day
Camp, and another mother invited
her family to grab pizza together.
“I thought, my god we hit the
jackpot on the town,” Hamilton
says. “That says a lot, that they
would go out on a limb, that’s rare.”
Hamilton grew up in Bombay,
now known as Mumbai, and left India to study abroad at Case Western
Reserve University in the early
1990s. Her father worked in advertising and her mother started an encyclopedia distribution company.
Both currently run Lotus Learning,
an education company specializing
in English language software.
In her first week at Case Western, she met Brian Hamilton, and
the two eventually married. She
studied law at Case Western while
Brian earned his doctorate in chemical engineering at Princeton.
They relocated from Lansdale,
Pennsylvania, to West Windsor in
2013, to move closer to Brian’s
pharmaceutical job at Allergan in
North Brunswick.
Another reason? The schools, of
course. Son Kieran attends Grover
Middle School and daughter Ava
goes to Village School. They both
swim for the Peddie aquatics team
and play travel soccer.
Hamilton started her solo prac-
before specializing in employment
law. She primarily represents those
who have been fired or are about to
be fired. She also counsels small
businesses on how to steer clear of
employment discrimination.
Of her employee cases, she estimates half are age discrimination
claims and the other half are gender
discrimination against women.
Race discrimination is also an issue, but those claims are more difficult to prove.
Age discrimination cases are
prevalent, she says. Typically a

questions, get to know

longtime employee is terminated
and replaced by a younger, cheaper, worker.
With respect to gender discrimination, she points out that senior
management in corporate America
and those holding public office are
overwhelmingly male. She describes a case when a female midlevel manager bumped up against
the so-called glass ceiling. Her position was eliminated and a younger male effectively took over her
position under a new title.
“Generally most senior management are men, and they want to promote their boys,” Hamilton says.
“When it comes to gender, it’s really not equal. We need more women at the higher levels of government and companies.”

Stairs, Signs, and Suites Up for Debate at Maneely Meeting
by Vincent Xu
G
arage loft pull-down stairs
and the eventual fate of 192
units of proposed corporate
suites dominated the discussion at
the August 19 Planning Board
meeting for Toll Brothers’ 45-acre
Maneely tract. This was the second
meeting for the applicant’s proposed mixed-use development on
Bear Brook Road and Old Bear
Brook Road, which in addition to
the 192 corporate suites will also
include 20,000 square feet of retail
space with 40 apartments built
above, and 51 three-bedroom
townhouses. Ten acres will be
deeded over to the township for a
72-unit affordable housing development. A third Planning Board
meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, October 7.
The detached garages for the
three-bedroom townhouses were
debated at length. Earlier concept
plans included an enhanced option
for a bedroom and bathroom above
the garage, with a connection to the
townhome. Toll Brothers attorney
Henry Kent-Smith, of Fox Rothschild in Lawrenceville, proposed a
garage loft for storage that would
have electricity and a finished stairwell, but no HVAC or plumbing.
Seeking assurances that the garage loft would not be converted
into housing, Planning Board
members Robert Lorenzo and Linda Geevers, who is also Council
vice president, voiced support for
pull-down stairs instead of a finished stairwell. Kent-Smith insisted on the need for a finished stairwell for better storage access, and
the Planning Board declined to vote
on the matter.
Resident and local realtor Linda
Kinzinger, who lives across from
the proposed development in
Windsor Haven, expressed concern regarding the garage loft.
“I would anticipate those would
be used as in-law suits or illegal
rentals,” she said, adding that maximizing the number of residents in
a space such as a living room is
prevalent in West Windsor.
Landscape architect Dan Dobromilsky also said the garage loft
seems destined to become a bedroom. In addition to legal remedies
such as deed restrictions on individual homes, Dobromilsky asked
what design remedies could be implemented to control the number of
bedrooms. After evaluating Toll
Brothers’ application, the lot sizes
of the townhouses were larger than
originally anticipated.
“We envisioned smaller townhouses than what Toll Brothers
proposed,” Dobromilsky said. “If
you add up the excess townhouse
lot width, and parking spots, there
is 70,000 to 123,000 additional
square feet of area.”
Planning Board chairman Marvin Gardner said after the meeting
that the goal is to reduce the number of bedrooms and lofts, which
would be achieved by permanent
deed restrictions on individual
townhouses. This would control
the floor area ratio and ultimately
restrict the number of bedrooms.
H
owever, Kent-Smith ruled out
deed restrictions for the short
stay corporate suites, which means
their occupancy use could be
changed in the future, pending
Zoning and/or Planning Board approval. Of the 192 units, 97 will be
one-bedroom units and 95 will be
two-bedroom units, at roughly
$1,500 and $2,000 per month respectively. Toll Brothers executive
Brian Oos said the intention is for
the majority of suites to have one-
month to one-year tenancies, while
roughly 10 units will be nightly and
weekly stays. The corporate suites
are hotels, and Oos said the intention is to have “flexible stay accommodations.”
When asked how many units are
set aside for nightly and weekly
stays, Oos said, “The intent is to not
have more than five percent of the

planned townhomes —
a move that would reduce the number of possible bedrooms.
corporate suites for shorter term
stays. We will let the market determine the occupancy.”
Gardner asked the applicant
how much demand there is for corporate suites, and whether the company has reached out to local employers. Oos said Toll Brothers has
not contacted any companies, but
the developer does operate 635
rental units in the Mews at Princeton Junction, 50 of which are leased
in bulk to an operator that subleases
shorter-term stays.
“What if there is a failure?”
Gardner said. “Do you come before
us and ask for a change of occupancy?”
Toll Brothers representatives indicated the use of the corporate
suites could change in future decades.
While the stated corporate suite
tenancy is one-year, Gardner said
he remembers seeing proposals for
two-year stays. In response to an
inquiry by Geevers, Gardner confirmed that as long as there is some
sort of residence permanency at the
corporate suites, any children living there would be eligible to attend the school district.
After two-and-a-half hours of
testimony from Toll Brothers, the
public was given 30 minutes to
speak. Akka Ma, a Windsor Haven
resident whose residence faces the
development, took exception to the
sign variances requested by Toll
Brothers. A professional designer,
Ma argued a 50 percent increase of
lettering size from 12 inches to 18
inches represented unnecessary
permanent advertising for the Toll
Brothers logo, and another variance for a 25 percent sign height
increase to eight feet compromised
the integrity of the neighborhood.
He also added that lighting of signs
and any changing message signs,
such as the one in front of Princeton
Meadows Church, would contribute unwanted “visual noise.”
Fellow Windsor Haven resident
and trustee Robert Suto, whose
residence is on the corner of the Tintersection that will become a rotary traffic circle, was concerned
about additional traffic.
Toll Brothers engineer Nathan
Moseley said the company measured a peak morning traffic of 500
cars per hour. Suto said he recorded
433 cars earlier in the day, but added that school is not in session in

Windsor Haven residents opposed Toll
Brothers’ requests for

August. With retail employees,
customers, and residents at the proposed development, Suto expects a
dramatic increase in traffic, especially nighttime car headlights circling the rotary.
“We are taking a lot of cars
through the rotary,” Suto said. “My
point is we have to look at how
many cars go through.”

Cricket
Though the bat is wide, getting
good wood is no mean trick. Sid
has to react to a ball coming up at
him low on the rebound. And
speed? Major League pitcher Mike
Herrera’s fastest-ever pitched
baseball (100.3 mph) is matched
exactly by pro cricket bowler
Shoaib Akhtar. Yet Sid is a practiced player for the Edison-areabased Challenger XI team. Deftly
he angles his bat and sends the ball
off amid a scrambling group of
Windsor Cricket Club fielders —
all local WW-P boys. Now the fun
begins.
Sid has sliced a nice infield shot,
right between Windsor captain
Vineet Anand and Guarav Kumar.
Like tennis, cricket batting is more
often based on placement, rather
than swinging for the fences. The
ball bounds toward the outfield (a
larger oval of about one-and-a-half
football-fields in area,) where the
yellow jersey number 99 of team
vice captain Bhupinder Bohta
moves in carefully to make the
play. And though the batsmen’s
legs and loins may be protectively
padded, the fielders’ fingers are
not. No leather mitts soften the
golfball-hard, shelled ball as it
streaks toward you. “Bhu” snags
the catch and hurls it back toward
the keeper, Ranjan Tatke, poised by
one of the wickets. Ajay Takoo runs
in for the back up. All 11 West
Windsor players shift into position,
readying to tag the wicket (think
“base”) and get an out.
As the ball flies, Sid, carrying
his bat, sets off at a run, sprinting
the 22 yards toward the other end of
the “pitch” — that slender strip of
grassless track that centers the field
of play. Now here’s where the
sweet strategy comes into action.
Sid has a partner. Yes, a batsman
partner. As Sid races toward the opposite end of the pitch, marked by
its wicket (more about wickets later), another of his teammates — the
second batsman, Ramasch, leaves
his batter’s box (crease) and charges toward Sid’s end. The two men
must run in concert — exchanging
places, trying to get as many back
and forths along the pitch to score
runs.
Meanwhile, the fielded ball is
being relayed in. Sid and Ramasch
give signals. Do we go for one
more? Can we both make it?
Should we stay, or sprint for a double? The fielders, striving to run the
batsmen out, try to tag either wicket. Ranjan, catching the relayed
ball, moves in rapidly, but Sid
makes it first, tapping his bat into
the crease surrounding the wicket;
Ramasch takes Sid’s signal, stays
put at the opposing wicket, and
both runners are safe. Two singles
— one scored for the Challengers
11. Cheers go up from all corners.
The obvious difference on the
cricket pitch is teamwork. You see,
Play Ball: The Challenger XI players, in red and blue,
sprint between the wickets as the West Windsor team
fields the ball during a recent match at Conover Park.
the trouble with baseball is that it is
so ineffably American. I — a rugged individual baseball batter —
armed with nothing more than my
big stick, square off against an enemy army of fielders. And I slug
that horsehide spheroid with all my
god-given might, and I churn my
legs to earn as many bases as I
alone can grind out against the foe.
Then some other guy, recently traded and paid to wear the same shirt
as mine, gets his chance. ‘Tis exactly the appropriate version of the
bat-and-ball sport for a nation of
lone (and more than a little selfabsorbed) pioneers fighting their
way in the wilderness.
However, if I were a human resource manager looking for some
fun corporate team-building exercise, I might just swap the softball
field for the cricket pitch. A cricket
match is a deliberately engineered
group-coordination effort. The
kind of stuff that neglects stars and
builds empires.
Y
es, the equipment seems a bit
ungainly. At each end of the
22-yard cricket pitch stands this
silly-looking wicket thing — a
wooden assembly or three upright,
28-inch stakes (called stumps),
topped by two, four-and-a-halfinch long, thumb-thick crosspieces, called bails. Unlike NFL goal
posts that demand a legion of
crazed fans to be torn down, the
wicket is purposely frail. It presents a strike zone to the bowler.
When Manu hurls his ball towards the batsman, he is actually
aiming at this 28 x 8 inch assembly.
If he slips the ball past the batsman
and strikes the wicket, knocking
over the bail, the batter is out. Thus
the batsman is not only trying to
slam out a run or two, he is also defending his time at bat, by protecting his wicket from the bowler’s
pitch. That’s why Sid, responding
to one particular bowl, merely deflects the pitched ball from the
wicket, and opts not to run out this
piddling dribble; and, as with a
fouled baseball, the game simply
resumes. No harm, no foul.
Today’s match between the
Windsor Cricket Club and the
Challengers XI is one of two games
played each seasonal Saturday by
the five-team All American Cricket
League. (Visit www.allamericancricketleague.org and learn about
the matches of the Windsor CC,
Challengers XI, Xoriant, BNYCC,
and the Traditions.) West Windsor’s own Vineet Anand founded
the league about a year ago shortly
after launching the local West
Windsor Cricket Association, in an
attempt to bring more of the local
clubs together. Currently, an estimated 120 million players actively
take to the cricket pitch, making it
second only to soccer in number of
participants.
“When I was growing up in Delhi, India, you could either go out
and play cricket, or sit and watch
the traffic go by,” explains Anand.
“It’s just what we all did.” Anand’s
father, a corporate executive,
played team matches with gentlemen of all levels. And while his
mother, a teacher, only enjoyed
from the sidelines, today she might
join one of the growing number of
women’s teams.
Like most sports, history leaves
only tantalizing wisps as to cricket’s origin. The name derives from
the Old Dutch word for “staff,” and
game historians still debate about
whether the Saxons or Normans
first bowled the pastime into Merry
Old England. Yet the fun became
quickly infectious around all the
Indian subcontinent and the entire
British Commonwealth. From the
early 19th century, it became like
shooting hoops in the U.S. — pick
up games flourishing in every
available open lot. During my visits to India, I would watch anywhere from two to twenty fellows,
with nothing more than bat and
ball, set down two stones as wickets and begin bowling away.
Their euphoric screams even enticed this writer to give the game a
try in Kerala, India. Residents there
explained to me that unlike the dry,
hard grounds of Delhi, the wetter
soils of Kerala often made for
damp, softer pitches, with the resulting tacky soils creating, as they
say, many sticky wickets.
When Anand decided to head for
America in 1997, he brought his
Ghandi International Institute
MBA, and his cricket bat with him.
The former led him to work as an IT
consultant, creating the Bank of
America’s new financial platforms,
the latter brought his youthful joy
into his new homeland. It did not
take long for him to find many expatriate lovers of his favorite sport.
With all this interest, cricket
continues its steady invasion into
the world of Garden State sport.
The All American Cricket League
stands surrounded by other groups
in South Brunswick, Lawrenceville, and Princeton. Most of the men
like Manu, Jay, Sid, and Bhupinder
are hard-laboring gentlemen with
lives devoted to families and professions. The legendary lengthy

ricket’s popularity extends
beyond West Windsor’s
boundaries into neighboring
Plainsboro. In response to demand from residents, township
officials have evaluated suitable
spots for a permanent cricket
field in Plainsboro and have selected Plainsboro Park as the
most viable location.
Currently Plainsboro residents play cricket at Schalks
Meadow and Community parks,
but neither space offers a regulation-size field. A full-size field

including a 10-by-75-foot grass
or turf pitch in the center, as well
as landscaping to serve as a buffer for nearby residents.
the reputation of “the world’s longest sport” have been abridged to a
working-person’s reality.
True, the five-day cricket matches still exist at the rarefied professional level. They are reflective of
those times when England’s noble
and exquisitely idle one-percent
ruled the pitches. Gentlemen with
muttonchops and aristocratic bearing, clad completely in white linen
uniforms and pads, would stroll
manfully onto the manicured
lawns. All the finest in their finest
would turn out to see and be seen.
The specially marked cherry-red
ball would fly across the pitch for
seven or eight-hour periods each
day. Breaks were taken for tea and,
toward evening, champagne.
‘Twas an event worthy of the accompanying elegance.
T
oday the fun is compressed into
the Twenty20 style of match.
This one-day cricket, adopted by
the All Americans and most other
leagues, involves a set of 20
“overs” (at bats) for each team. After the bowler has delivered six
balls to one batsman (baring a few
exceptions), the umpire raises his
arms and cries that this batsman’s
turn is, “over.” Each team takes all
its 20 overs (at bats) successively
forming one inning. Then the other
team comes to bat with its 20-over
inning. This will allow the 8 a.m.
game to wrap up sometime around
11:30 a.m., before the heat of the
noonday sun, after which only mad
dogs and Englishmen play.
For the Windsor/Challenger XI
match, Windsor won the toss and
elected to field. Captain Anand’s
strategy is to keep captain Jay Jillella and his Challengers XI wearing themselves out at the start, hustling for singles, and have them
take the field a little fatigued. This
will afford Windsor the opportuni-

A study of available spaces in
Plainsboro led officials to Plainsboro Park, between Edgemere
Avenue and Plainsboro Road,
where space can be repurposed
from baseball fields that are not
in use. The Department of Public
Works will maintain the field,
and the Recreation and Community Services Department will
control access to the field.
Plainsboro Township, which
received a $72,000 grant from
Middlesex County to assist with
construction, will design and
seek bids on the project this winter. Construction is expected to
begin in spring, 2016.

Commiteeman David Bander
said: “The mayor and Township
Committee are extremely excited about this project.”
ty to make more double runs. And
hopefully, with the emotional, endof-game edge, Windsor batsmen
will feel more likely to slam home
some “fours” (a four-run score
gained by a hit that bounces past
the outfield boundary) or even a
“six” (a high fly over the Conover
Road fence.)
By the end of the first inning,
things are going well. Windsor’s
Bhupinder and Guarav, taking their
turns as bowlers, have retired the
powerful Sid and Khelan. Windsor
fielders have held the Challengers
XI to an inning of only 94 runs, involving only two fours, and no sixes. It’s been an action-packed, yet
modest performance. (Remember,
each 22-yard exchange of runners
scores one run.)
As the sides exchange, and the
red jerseys of the Challengers fan
out into fielding positions on the
oval field, the Windsor boys strap
on their batting-pad leggings brimming with confidence. (Yes, batsmen actually do run with these pads
on.)
Early in the Windsor inning, Ramesh knocks home a four and several doubles follow. Windsor’s
sturdy batsmen have started off
their inning powerfully, but it remains a nail-biter the entire way. As
the sun climbs higher and the match
dwindles into the final overs, it’s
still anybody’s game. Within the
last minutes, a quick exchange of a
mere single sends Anand’s Windsor Cricket Club on to a squeaky
one-point victory — 95 to 94. Gentlemen, very well played.
When this writer’s busted shoulder heals, I might just take up
Vineet’s invitation to come try my
hand at a few overs on the pitch. It
might be fun for the West Windsor
Cricket Club to have at least one
pasty-faced player of English extraction blundering around the
pitch. There must, after all, always
be an England.

Goals for the next three years include increasing the number of visitors to 320,000 per year (from about
292,000 in 2014) and number of
card-holders to 18,000 (from about
15,000 in 2014); reduce number of
volumes owned and repurpose
space for new use; and add new
quiet study and group study rooms.
The library celebrated its 50th
anniversary in 2014, transforming

worked at the Rainbow Public Library in Las Vegas. He liked working in libraries and attained a master’s degree in library and information science from his alma mater.
Working as a teen librarian at Rainbow Library, he met his eventual
wife, Lauren Ryan, a reference librarian.
They currently live in Branchburg with their infant daughter; another child is on the way this November. Lauren works in the Somerset County Library System. Before joining Plainsboro Library,
Miguez previously worked at Old
Bridge Library for eight years, first
as youth services coordinator and
then as the library director for the
past two years.
He finds working with kids rewarding, as he is in a position to
answer their inquiries and watch
them grow.
“I really like working in the
community in the long term,” Miguez says. “Kids who come to your
story time, they then go to school,
you help them with homework, and
you see the community through the
lens of the children.”
Teenagers in particular are filled
with curiosity, and Miguez notes
that they are in a key developmental stage in life.
“Teens ask a lot more questions.
They are more voracious in the
number of topics and subjects they
want to learn about, as opposed to
adults, who generally know more
or less who they are and what interests they have,” Miguez says.
“They are developing their identity more firmly and learning what
they want from life, where they
want it to go. You’re dealing with a
lot of issues of race, gender, more
so nowadays than previously, because of the development of our
culture. The library owes it to teenagers to confront those issues headon and provide those materials for
the teenagers to find their own answers.”
At the Old Bridge Library Miguez implemented a MakerSpace,
which is an informal workshop for
community members to work on
tor Leslie Berger, to work on a strategic plan. The plan includes feedback from 1,114 survey responses
and focus groups with library staff,
residents, and the board of trustees.
“Today’s libraries are places
where the community connects
with one another and with the
world,” writes Board of Trustees
President Deborah L. Brett. “Community members are increasingly
looking to the library not only for
books, but also for digital content,
educational and recreational resources, and physical spaces that
support both community involvement and independent pursuits.”
The new mission statement of the
library is to “inspire life-long learning, create understanding, and make
our community a better place.”
There have already been changes made to library space, including
new flooring on the main floor,
new displays of best sellers, and
furniture reconditioning in the
heavily used children’s room. With
more anticipated digital content,
projects, from gardening and cooking to 3D printing. He also launched
a weekly E-mail newsletter, as well
as access to digital magazines and
online tutoring.
Plainsboro Library has already
featured digital access to magazines and tutoring as it stays attuned to the community’s changing
needs. Miguez remembers the card
catalogs he saw at his college library in the 1980s, but the system
was done away with within two
years. And with the advent of the
internet the library is no longer the
main repository of information,
though a librarian still provides
guidance in finding credible information and resources.
“Pre-Internet, information was
scarce,” Miguez says. “You had to
go to the library to access information and books. These days it’s the
opposite; it’s an information glut.
It’s a matter now of being able to
sift through fact, fiction, deceptive
information, and cat videos.”
Working with children, particu-
As a youth services librarian, says Darren
Miguez, ‘you see the
community through the
lens of the children.’
larly teenagers, can often assist Miguez in figuring out how the library
can keep pace with community’s
changing needs.
“The cool thing about being in a
youth services position, you can
spot trends, spot interests, and the
odd fad that is worth pointing out to
colleagues,” Miguez says. “Whatever you see the teenagers getting
into, often those interests play out
when they become adults. I look to
the youth to tell the adult librarians
what to watch out for in the future.
Who picked up social media first?”
For example, children are increasingly familiar with tablet
computers and smartphones. One
short-term conclusion is that library
websites should be easy to view on
mobile devices. In the long term,
how should the library adjust or enhance its collection if more people
are reading material from a screen?
Aside from the books available,
a main goal is to further establish
the library as a community center.
For youth of all ages, the library
has organized cultural programs,
introducing children to science,
ESL classes, and foreign languages. Recently more than 100 people
the library will reduce print collections and use the space for community gatherings.
Services will be expanded for all
ages. For programming and staff
dedicated to youth, the library
found a need for space for homework help, gaming, and social activities.
There is also an expected increase in baby boomer senior citizens who will age in place. Survey
responses and library staff note a
growing demand for assistance and
instruction in all technologies. The
library aims to provide for those using technology to seek information, content, and connections.
Another short term goal is to explore revenue streams for future
support, with the Plainsboro Public
Library Foundation listed as having an important role in securing
resources.
The library will conduct an annual community needs survey to
measure satisfaction and will issue
an annual report. The strategic plan
will also be reviewed each year.
attended a physics demonstration
by a Rutgers staffer, and the library
seeks to provide more of such
events for the community to explore.
“We’re really going to beef up
our teen program in our library,
which will hopefully be a nice shot
in the arm for Plainsboro,” Miguez
says. “We have a young adult collection here, but nobody has focused on programs for teens or
connecting with the teen community. There have been events where
the high school band has come out,
but I want to take that success and
build on that.”
To increase community involvement, Miguez wishes to create a
teen advisory board that would discuss what Plainsboro teens would
like to learn about. This could inform library staff on book purchases and programming planning, instead of just going with what is
generally popular.
Other potential offerings include a summer reading program,
and Miguez has reached out to the
school district to invite high school
students to perform for the community.
“It’s basically going to be a sampling of dramatic arts, your theater
and choir students,” Miguez says.
“We want to show off what the high
school is doing and expose the
community to the young talent.
And it’s good for students to perform in the public.”
For younger children, the library
has created a color-coded reading
level system that will assist parents
confused by the different systems
used by each book publisher. Books
marked red are the easiest reading
level, and reading levels then advance from yellow to blue to green.
Also on the third floor are various story time events available
throughout the week. Library staff
will read stories out loud, and other
events will feature crafts, felt
boards, songs, and dances. There
are different story time events for
each age group, from newborns to
kindergartners. Parents with similar-aged kids can socialize, and
there are also family story time
events for siblings of mixed ages.
“For the very young children,
it’s a chance to be in a social environment and be with kids your own
age,” Miguez says. “As story time
goes up in age, for 4 and 5 year olds
they leave their parents behind.
The goal is to introduce children to
books and get parents to read with
children.”

New Safety Measures for Student Athletes. While school does
not begin until Wednesday, September 2, preseason practices are
already underway for WW-P’s fall
athletes. As has always been the
case, no one can practice without
an up-to-date physical examination. And this year new requirements are in place for physicians
administering those exams.
Under the Scholastic StudentAthlete Safety Act, signed into law
by Gov. Chris Christie in June,
2013, a cardiac assessment must
now be part of pre-participation
physicals for all student athletes.
To comply with the law, which
takes effect this school year, physicians must complete a professional
development program — based on
a 43-minute video available on the
state Department of Health website
— prior to administering physical
exams.
The goal, according to state materials, is “the detection of silent
cardiovascular abnormalities that
can lead to sudden cardiac death.”
Approximately 100 deaths are attributed annually to sudden cardiac
arrest in young athletes. Men are
more commonly affected than
women, African Americans more
than other racial or ethnic groups,
and basketball and football players
more than other athletes.

Lightbridge Academy
L
ightbridge Academy, a childcare early education center,
is pleased to be opening
their newest location in the
Plainsboro Plaza Shopping Center. With 17 locations, primarily in
New Jersey, they are in the process of opening an additional 50
centers throughout the area and
expanding into New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
The child care center will be located in the former Ace Hardware site, near Planet Fitness.
Lightbridge Academy Center
Director Ruth Huth anticipates
opening within the next few
weeks. “As soon as we get the
Certificate of Occupancy, we will
be inviting families to tour,” this
way they can see the physical
location and be ready to start
sending their children to Lightbridge Academy as soon as they
open their doors. The Lightbridge
Academy facility has nine classrooms and a multi-purpose room,
in addition to a 5,500-square-foot
outdoor playground separated by
age group with built-in water play
fountains and play units.
The center can accommodate
up to 179 children, with full-time
programs for children ages six
weeks through pre-Kindergarten, as well as after school and
summer programs for children
up to age 12.
Lightbridge Academy has
been a family business for 18
years, operating since 1997,
and began franchising in 2011.
Owners Ketul and Krupa Parikh
were drawn to the company’s
approach to early childhood
education: a combination of the
fundamental curriculum-based
teaching that is enriched by the

use of technology. In addition
is the unique Circle of Care
philosophy, where the needs of
the parents, staff, owners, and
community all come together to
create the highest quality of care
and education for children.
“What sets us apart is the
technology we have incorporated
into our day,” explains Huth. “We
have a program called ParentView with cameras in the classrooms that capture live streaming video in real time of the
children and teachers interacting.” The center administration
can mentor and support staff at
the same time that parents can
watch through a secure website.
“Parents enjoy staying connected to their children’s day and
also the opportunity to see their
child’s classroom in real time.”
Also, teachers document children’s developmental progress
and activities throughout the day
through an e-Communication
app. It is also used to send
parents reminders, photos, and
videos. At the end of each day, a
report is sent listing various activities including what and when
their child ate, diaper changes,
how long they napped, and
other classroom activities.
The Seedling Early Childhood Education Curriculum
focuses on the whole child to
foster development and cultivate academic success. Weekly
lesson plans are theme-based
and the theme carries through
to the various subjects including
math, language, science, music,
art, sign language, and Spanish.
The pre-K and multi-purpose
rooms are equipped with
interactive whiteboards, which
supplement the week’s lessons.
“We can use the whiteboards to
bring things to life that they are
learning about,” adds Huth.
The center includes a high level of security that begins at the
front door with a biometric finger
scanning system and includes
video monitoring as well as other
features. “We are on the cutting
edge for early childhood education facilities,” comments Huth.
Ruth Huth taught at Montessori schools for 11 years, and
additionally worked as center
director in early childhood for
ten years. She is a Moravian
College alumna and holds a
bachelor’s degree in psychology
as well as her state teaching
certification. Ruth is also the
mother of a 21-year-old college
student. Huth began working
at Lightbridge Academy at their
child care center in Piscataway
in December in order to learn
their approach to teaching and
integration of technology.
Prior to the center opening,
the owners and center director are working in a temporary
office location in the Plainsboro
Plaza Shopping Center next to
Romeo’s Ristorante & Pizzeria.
They are accepting enrollments for the fall and have been
pleased with the response of the
community to their impending
opening.
The Parikhs and Huth are looking forward to becoming part of
the community in Plainsboro and
are anxious to serve the children
and families of the residents and
professionals working the area.

classes in Primary Ballet,
Dance with Me, Hip Hop,
Jazz, and Tap during Princeton
Dance and Theater Studio’s open
house on Saturday, August 29,
from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. “This is
a great opportunity to try out
classes and meet our faculty,”
says PDT’s director, Risa Kaplowitz. “What sets PDT apart is
our compassionate training within
a culture of high expectations.”
Princeton Dance and Theater Studio is proud to include
the American Ballet Theatre
National Training Curriculum, a
breakthrough nine-level program that combines high-quality
artistic training with the basics of
dancer health and child development. The ABT National Training
Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines
to provide the highest quality
ballet training to dance students
of all ages and skill levels. All of
the PDT ballet instructors are
ABT affiliate instructors.
Ms. Kaplowitz explains the
reason PDT uses the curriculum. “Anyone can put a dance
studio shingle on their door and
parents have no way of knowing if the training is something

has a reputation of providing
stellar dance education, and we
want to assure families that their
child is being taught correctly.
Physical habits are very hard to
break, so it is important to learn
correct technique early on.”
Scholarships are offered to
boys who show promise and
commitment. One of PDT’s male
students, Max Azaro, recently
received a coveted full scholarship to study at American Ballet
Theatre in New York City during
the school year. “PDT gave me

needed to take my dancing to a
place I could have never imagined,” he says.
This year, adult/teen ballet
classes are available in three
evenings per week in 10-week
sessions. This is especially valuable for the high school musical
theater performer who wants
stronger dance skills or the
working adult.
PDT ballet students have
several opportunities to perform
each year in high-quality productions such as Princeton Youth
Ballet’s “The Snow Queen” and
a new production of “Cinderella.”
Additionally all dancers can perform in a spring showcase. Advanced dancers in the conservatory program may compete at the
premier ballet competition, Youth
America Grand Prix. Rehearsals
take place outside of the class
time so that the focus remains on
improving skills in class.
PDT also offers the area’s
finest tap, jazz, and hip hop
instruction. Ms. Kaplowitz explains, “Our tap instructor, Karen
Callaway Williams, was recently
inducted into the International
Tap Dance Hall of Fame. It is
incredible that our students get
to study with someone of that
caliber every week. The other
instructors are also exceptional.
Jazz is taught by Broadway
choreographer Matt Williams,
and hip hop is taught by New
Jersey’s master of the genre,
Tom McKie.”

Notre Dame Spreads
Its Anti-Bullying
Message
to Area Schools
N
otre Dame High School
began its anti-bully commitment more than 15
years ago. The campaign originated in the ERASE Club (End
Radical Actions Separating Everyone) and has branched out to
numerous schools and after
school programs.
“ERASE students brainstormed ways to solve problems
they recognized,” says ND Community Service Director Judy
Salcewicz. “Activities began
with bringing awareness to our
school community.”
Some of the earliest programs
included Kindness Day, where
individuals were recognized
for small acts of kindness with
posters and intercom announcements reinforcing the message.
From these beginnings an antibully service program was born.
Notre Dame ERASE Club
members, Peer Leaders, and
Service Honors students then
worked together to develop
activities to create a community outreach program. Over
the years students have taken
interactive programs to entire
grammar schools.
The hands-on activities are
age-appropriate and begin with
warm, fuzzy coloring books for
kindergarten students, focusing
on the importance of kindness,
to skits for eighth graders based
on their own words submitted
in student-developed surveys.
Second graders have responded
to an activity where they wear
Notre Dame students displaying some of their anti-bullying posters, from left, Claire Barlow of New Egypt, Arianna Valerio of Yardley, and Julianna Okupski of Princeton.
symbolic band aids as a reminder that words hurt just as much
as cuts.
Each activity has been
revised and improved as the
program has been presented
throughout the community. An
anti-violence grant enabled them
to develop even more activities
that they shared with student
leaders from area high schools.
So strong was the commitment
to this message that Notre
Dame students joined with
Special Olympics to create and
facilitate respect pep rallies for
the entire student body.
As part of the service program at Notre Dame, freshman,
sophomore, and junior students
participate in a community
service day every year. The antibully program has visited numerous schools in the area, including schools in Hamilton, Trenton,
Lawrence, Ewing, and Yardley,
bringing anti-bully activities into
each classroom for every grade.
“The Notre Dame Community
Service Program developed
Respect Fairs for the Lawrence
after-school program that were
so successful that Notre Dame
students continued a year-long
volunteer commitment with
Lawrence students, developing
many more meaningful activities
for the children they mentored,”
adds Salcewicz.
Participating students make
banners and other activities to
reinforce the anti-bully messages. The success of this program
has led students to create and
present Respect Fairs, focusing on understanding differently abled students. At these
fairs aimed at middle school
students, participants are given
activities that simulate impairments such as visual, hearing,
and learning.
After students have the opportunity to walk in the shoes
of another, they sign respect
pledge banners. There are six
service trips scheduled for the
2015-’16 school year. Interested schools may sign up for
a visit from ND students with
one of these programs. Contact:

Stuart School:
Lower School Space
Transformed
Back to School
I
magine a place where a young
girl writes her own fairy tale and
brings it to life!
She directs her classmates
on stage, in full costume, with
lighting. Instead of a traditional
set, her actor-friends perform in
front of a state-of-the-art green
screen - while an older student
captures the performance on
film. Using the magic of video effects, she works to superimpose
the actors onto a virtual fairy tale
background.
Nearby, a K-4 grocery store is
in the making as a kindergartner
and fourth grader work together
to sort, price, and stock goods
on the shelves. Off to the side,
three second grade girls move
bookshelves throw pillows on
the ground to create a secluded
nook. They’re huddled with
iPads in their laps, reading from
the Kiva website, a global nonprofit organization, researching
where to donate the money
they’ve worked so hard to raise.
The space that these girls
work in is not a library, a computer lab. It’s not a theater or
a creative makerspace. Yet
it’s all these things and moreall wrapped up together and
integrated into everyday learning
as an extension of the classroom. This space will come to
life for girls in junior kindergarten
through grade four at Stuart this
fall.
The existing floor plan of the
Lower School is being reconfigured to revolve around an
class into the Lower School.
Mrs. Betty Wold Johnson, a
past Stuart parent and trustee,
has committed a lead matching
gift to the renovation project.
“We are so very grateful to
Mrs. Johnson,” said Dr. Patty
L. Fagin, Head of School. “Her
gift will essentially allow donors
to double the impact of their
contributions.”
According to Head of Lower
School Michelle Dowling, “At
the very core of a Lower School
education at Stuart is a commitment to immerse our students
in the experience of learning. A
learning-by-doing approach encourages our teachers to act as
facilitators who engage the girls
in interdisciplinary studies and
project-based learning.” The current Lower School classrooms
were built 50 years ago and the
segregated rooms work against
collaboration and integration
across subjects or grade levels.
The design and project management for the renovation are
by Richardson Smith Architects
in Princeton. Their incredible
design for the space creates a
metaphorical garden that unites
the Townsend Garden on one
side and the Lower School playground on the other. Inspired
by these outside areas, the new
common learning area, Millie’s
Garden, will feel like a garden
itself-ideal for childhood growth
and discovery, designed to fully
support teaching and learning
for Stuart girls not only today,
but well into the next century.

“We look at every child as
an individual with their own
learning style and personality.
We provide a multi-discipline
curriculum, which gives every
child a chance to succeed,”
said Barbara Fruh, DNPCCNS
director of education and veteran teacher of 25 years. “At
DNPCCNS, children feel loved
and supported as they begin to
explore the world around them
in a classroom setting.”
One thing that has remained
constant is the commitment
to small class sizes. Ranging
from 10 to 18, with a teacher,
assistant teacher, and helping
parent, this far exceeds the state
mandate.
DNPCCNS provides a
positive transition from home by
involving parents in the classroom. “One of the best parts of
being a cooperative school is
that our parents are involved in
their child’s education from the
start, working alongside teachers,” says DNPCCNS Administrative Director Kim Kelly, who
was both a student and a parent
with the school.
While DNPCCNS prides itself
on being the oldest nursery
school in the area, it places
strong emphasis on adapting
to meet the needs of its growing and diverse community.
“Our unique structure allows us
to offer flexible programs like
our Buy Out agreement, which

“We also offer a June summer camp and in September,

DNPCCNS also offers enrichment programs such as drama,
cooking, and science. Students
also have the opportunity to
participate in the “Lunch Bunch”
program, where children enjoy
an extra hour with friends, learning table manners and more.
And there are several wholeschool events throughout the

Meet MathMentor: The
Place for Math and
Java Learning
P
rasanna Kumar, the founder
and chief instructor of the
highly rated “MathMentor,”
considers himself a student first,
and he says he learns something
new every time he teaches a student. It’s individual; it’s personal and
in depth. It could be a new way to
solve math problem, it could be a
behavior, or it could be the way a
student grasps a complex math
concept.
He developed a strong passion
for math as a student growing up in
India, where he ultimately obtained
his master’s in the subject and a
degree in teaching mathematics.
Both his parents were teachers, so
it’s no wonder he liked teaching.
After graduation along with his
college friends Prasanna started a
new institute of higher education
near his hometown that enrolled
about 300 students in its startup
year (1984), pursuing his passion
for teaching math as both a math
professor and vice principal.
In the 1980s interest in computers was just shaping up. From a
teacher role for about two years,
Prasanna became a student of
computers, becoming top ranker in
the state of Kerala for the very first
government-sponsored post graduate computer science education
program.
He subsequently applied his
skills into supercomputer research
at the Indian Institute of Science
(IISc) in Bangalore,India under the
guidance of renowned computer
science teacher and professor Dr.
Rajaraman. While studying at IISc,
he became interested in Mathematics research and started working
with the head of the mathematics
department at IISc.
Moving to the U.S. in 1989 for a
successful IT career, Prasanna was
instrumental in establishing the IT
services firm cMango, based out of
Silicon Valley, that was acquired by
Wipro. He also created a software
services firm later with seven employees on the payroll, establishing
business deals with EMC Corporation and BMC software.
Eventually his complete attention
and entrepreneur mindset turned
along his passion for mathematics
teaching, developing a quality math
education center in the West Windsor-Plainsboro area. “MathMentor” is the product of Prasanna’s
vision and dedicated efforts, and
has been helping students achieve
success in an ultra-competitive environment from its very beginning.
MathMentor was originally designed to fill an observable gap in
math education. This became personal for Prasanna when he moved
into Plainsboro area and the WW-P
school system enrolled his son into
the desired A&E math program
that he started working closely
with. Originally aimed at enriching students who surpassed grade
level expectations, the program has
expanded to serve students of all
academic capabilities succeed in
the classroom.
The program that started 12
years back with a handful of
students most recently enrolled
some 60 students for the summer
session only. With a track record of
guiding several hundred students
from elementary math to calculus
over the years, Prasanna is in the
process of expanding the program
further with additional resources
and eventually expects to develop
a national franchise.
In 2014 MathMentor started
enrolling students across U.S. in
its online learning program “PowerMyMath” which is another area of
future expansion, classes delivered
over Skype. MathMentor takes
pride in providing learning opportunity to several local and remote students who couldn’t afford tutoring,
and a portion of the income also
goes to supporting the education of
underprivileged students in India.
He is currently writing two books
based on his experience of teaching students in the WW-P school
system: “Elementary Math to
Calculus – a Fast Track Approach,”
and “A Simple Way to Learn Java
Programming.”

Institute for Spine & Scoliosis: Custom Spinal Disorder Solutions
T
hose with spinal disorders
ranging from herniated disk
to adult or pediatric scoliosis will find expert care and multiple minimally invasive and advanced treatment options at the
Institute for Spine & Scoliosis,
PA. “We continue to solidify our
position as a nationally leading
spine surgery practice with an international draw. We focus on
the individual,” explained M. Darryl Antonacci, M.D., F.A.C.S., the
Institute’s director and nationally
renowned spine and scoliosis
surgeon. “We personalize our
approach to each individual’s
needs — adult or child — providing less invasive surgical treatments for back and leg pain,
spondylolisthesis, stenosis, and
scoliosis.”
Dr. Antonacci has extensive
surgical experience in adults
and children, with particular
specialization in scoliosis surgery and complex reconstructive
neck and back surgery and is
considered a 2015 Top Spine
Surgeon in NJ and NY. He has
practiced in Princeton and Manhattan since 2001, performing
cutting-edge spinal surgery on
adults and children at University
Medical Center in Princeton,
Mount Sinai University Hospital
and Lenox Hill in New York. Dr.
Randal R. Betz — a renowned
pioneer and authority on children’s scoliosis treatments —
recently joined Dr. Antonacci’s
practice; together they possess
more than 50 years of surgical
and patient experience.
Dr. Antonacci utilizes minimally invasive fusion techniques
and has made pioneering
advancements in muscle-spar-
ing spine surgery, which
drastically reduces blood
loss and shortens hospital
stays. Board certified by the
American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, he is among
a select group of individuals
worldwide with the expertise
to perform a wide range of
adult and pediatric spinal
surgery, from traditional
techniques to thoracoscopic
stapling and tethering for
scoliosis, or percutaneous
and mini-open approaches.
Because of his meticulous
surgical expertise and vast
experience, Dr. Antonacci
is able to optimize recovery
times and outcomes for his
patients.
For his adolescent scoliosis patients, Dr. Antonacci and
Dr. Betz offer Flexible Fusion
Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT).
It supports motion after treatment, as opposed to “traditional”
fusion. Flexible Fusion supports the child and adolescent’s
growth as the spine continues to
improve its curve. Ideal candidates for Flexible Fusion have
a diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis (adolescent or juvenile), or
idiopathic “like” (i.e., post-syrinx
decompression); are 10 years
of age or older, with remaining
spine growth; and have thoracic, thoracolumbar or lumbar
curve(s) of 30 to 70 degrees.
Post-surgical patients have
raved about resuming or starting
activities they thought would no
longer be possible.
“It’s all about bringing or
creating the best, state-of-theart techniques and options for
our patients,” concludes Dr.

Times are tough in the Mississippi Delta, where cotton is king and the summer heat drives desires

for its riveting tale of commercial and erotic vengeance. The American premiere of this theatrical
adaptation will ignite the stage with its darkly comic, steamy tale of one delicate girl’s awakening.

W
hile the topic of suicide has been
frequently in the media in response to the deaths of celebrities
and local residents alike, mental health experts believe that communication about suicide and contributing factors needs to increase not only in the media, but also — and
especially — with educators and families.
To reinforce the importance of education
about mental health and related disorders,
including substance use, and to build awareness of resources, the New Jersey Association of Mental Health and Addiction Agencies and Attitudes In Reverse (AIR) present
the third annual National Suicide Prevention Day conference, “Back to School: Take
a Breath — and Pack a Good Mental Health
Tool Kit,” on Tuesday, September 8. The
free event will take place at the New Jersey
Department of Human Services, 222 South
Warren Street, first floor conference room,
in Trenton. Parking is available across the
street in the Wyndham Hotel garage.
The conference is for everyone because
everyone has mental health, which is in turn
integral to overall health. Mental health and
substance use disorders are real illnesses,
often co-occur, and must be recognized and
treated as soon as possible. Bullying, stress,
traumatic family situations, difficulties in
social relationships, physical and mental
illnesses, and other challenges can lead to
risk of suicide among children, teens, and

Plainsboro Artist’s Advice: Try Anything
N
elly Kouzmina, an awardwinning fiber artist and
Plainsboro resident, exhibited a colorful and eclectic collection of handmade felt works in a
solo show at the Plainsboro Library
Gallery from in July. Her one-of-akind wall hangings and wearable
art allowed viewers to see the wide
range of possibilities of felt making. She also presented workshops
on felt-making and botanical printing.
For those who missed her the
first time around, Kouzmina presents a refresher course at the library
on Wednesday, August 26, from 1
to 3 p.m. She includes a mini science fair and a demonstration of
wool carding, felt making, ecodyeing, weaving, and more. The
event is for all ages, but children
under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. No registration
is necessary.
At one recent workshop she first
taught participants how to create
felt from silk and merino wool.
“Felt is the oldest form of textile
and creating it is a completely natural process,” she said. The next step
focused on coloring the felt with
natural dyes extracted from leaves.
Kouzmina spoke about oak, plum,
eucalyptus, and maple leaves. Eucalyptus leaves yield orange and
red dyes, while maple is beige or
brown. She also suggested strawberry, rose, and blueberry leaves
for more brilliant colors.
“Wool is the best textile to dye,
although cotton and other fabrics
can also be used,” she said as workshop members learned how to soak
their cloth overnight in a water bath
with a natural fixative called a mordant. “In the morning, lay the material flat, mix and overlap different
leaves and branches on the cloth for
interesting shapes and colors,” she
instructed. “Wrap it tightly around
a rod or stick and steam it for 45
minutes.”
Kouzmina, a native of Russia,
has been a Plainsboro resident for
more than 20 years. She has an engineering science background, and
is a self-taught fiber artist who
started exploring the felt-making
process three years ago. She pursues the craft with a passion under
the company name Feltinelli LLC.
Kouzmina approaches felt making
by applying established techniques
as well as creating her own, and she
experiments with a wide range of
fibers and natural dyes.
Felt may be the oldest fabric
known to mankind — the process
of felt making has been practiced
for thousands of years — and there
are many references to it in ancient
writings. Some of the earliest felt
remains were found in the frozen
tombs of nomadic horsemen in the
Siberian Altai Mountains and date
to around 700 B.C. These tribes
made clothing, saddles, and tents
from felt because it was strong and
resistant to severe weather. It is not
woven and does not require a loom
or other equipment for its production. In recent years felt making has
experienced a revival and has taken
on new, contemporary forms.
Kouzmina has exhibited widely
in the tri-state area, including the
Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie,
the Raymond James Gallery in
Pennsylvania, and LaLa Gallery in
SoHo, New York City. She is a regular exhibitor at regional arts festivals, such as the Sugarloaf Craft
Festival in Somerset, Communiversity in Princeton, and the New
Hope Art Festival, where she received the Best in Show Award last
September. She received the Best
in Fiber Art Award at the Ellarslie
Open in Trenton last year, and also
the first place in Fine Crafts at the
Highland Park Art Show.
She is a member of the International Association of Feltmakers
and North East Guild of Feltmakers. Kouzmina works in her home
studio, and teaches workshops and
classes in Plainsboro, West Windsor Art Council, Artists of Yardley,
and Trenton City Museum
Artist at Work: Nelly
Kouzmina, above left
with one of her felt
works, teaches workshop participants
about natural dyes.
“We use very simple, primitive
equipment, so don’t be afraid to try
anything,” she says. “Always continue experimenting and developing as an artist.”

THE NEWS
AUGUST 21, 2015
N
early two decades ago —
on October 31, 1995 — the
first meeting was held of a
new organization in West Windsor.
It was called FOWWOS, which
stood for “Friends of West Windsor
Open Space.” As its name implied,
it was dedicated to the preservation
of open space in West Windsor
Township. That seems like a simple statement, but for some it needed an explanation that went beyond
its title. What is “open space,” and
why should it have “friends”?
For our purposes, “open space”
means land that has not been developed or “improved” for any purpose, either residential or commercial. It may be made up of fields
and forests, or a combination of the
two. It may also include bodies of
water. If the “open space” is a farm,
the existing buildings, if any, may
also be included.
The desirability of preserving
this land is more complicated.
What’s wrong with improving the
value of a piece of land, say, by
building houses or commercial
buildings on it? For many people
the practical answer to that question depends on what effect the
“improvement” has on the tax rate.
Back when the desirability of saving open space was under discussion, much was made of the fact
that residential development usually resulted in an increase in
school taxes. More residences
yield more school kids, and that
means the schools will cost more,
right? Well, not necessarily, but
that’s another issue.
Then, on the other hand, wasn’t
there a limit on how much commercial property one small township
really needed? To answer some of
these questions and to develop a
strategy for finding the best solution for West Windsor, the original
group of organizers met in 1995,
with one Bernt Midland as the leader.
As I have mentioned before,
Bernt was a tireless community
leader of the “non-political” kind.
He worked enthusiastically on many worthwhile projects and became
known as the person to turn to if
there was a “community” problem
that needed a solution that was best

handled outside of the existing
government structure. On the other
hand, if the government had to be
involved, Bernt knew how to go
about it in a way that left everyone
with the attitude: “Why didn’t I
think of that?” The state of New
Jersey had already given its approval to solving local problems
that way when it adopted its land
preservation approach decades before, in the “pinelands,” for example.
So on October 31, 1995, West
Windsor’s open space advocacy
group met for the first time with
Bernt as the chairman. The first
problem was to decide on a name.
“Friends of West Windsor Open
Space” sounded good, but some
people objected to how you might
pronounce it if you just used the
initials FOWWOS. That seemed
awkward to some. Nevertheless,
FOWWOS prevailed, and that has
been its name ever since.
The first very important business decision we made was to decide to become an official tax-exempt 5013(c)3 nonprofit corporation. Once that was accomplished
— as it was in 1996 — we would be
able to concentrate on preserving
the best of West Windsor’s territory
and to decide on where that territory should be.
But even before the official organization of FOWWOS, the
township had taken its first steps
toward land preservation. In 1993,
when West Windsor decided to
switch from a “township committee” form of government to a “mayor-council” form, it also approved
a one-cent dedicated open space
tax that could be used to purchase
land that might otherwise be used
for housing development. And just
two years later, a committee of the
Planning Board, under Midland,
proposed that an additional onecent open space tax be approved. It
was passed by the voters by a threeto-two margin. That committee had
by Dick Snedeker
also begun to make an inventory of
open space properties in the township with an eye toward acquiring
and preserving the most desirable
ones.
A first step in the process of preserving open space had already
been taken by West Windsor in
1994 through the New Jersey
Farmland Preservation Program.
This resulted in the purchase and
preservation of the Grover Farm.
The major portion of the cost came
from the state. The present Grover
Middle School is located on nearby
property that was acquired by the
school board.
The most important achievement of FOWWOS during that
time — and the one with the great-

do? Broadly speaking it
seeks to preserve open
space, but its job has
changed in the 20 years
since its founding.
est long-term benefit for the township — was the successful promotion of the open space tax increase
in November, 1998. Voters approved by a three-to-one margin an
increase in the tax from two cents
to seven cents per hundred dollars
of assessed value. This gave the
township a huge improvement in
its potential ability to preserve undeveloped land.
One of the first significant land
acquisitions that directly involved
FOWWOS as an organization was
the Liao-Lin property on North
Post Road. This 29-acre property
was acquired in 1998 in a deal that
involved the donation of the land to
FOWWOS and the subsequent
turning over of ownership by
FOWWOS to the township. The
Liao and Lin families — partners in
the transaction — shared the tax

benefits of a charitable contribution to a non-profit organization —
FOWWOS — and FOWWOS, in
turn, was able to utilize funds from
a state Green Acres grant.
This property is close to the geographic center of West Windsor
and is traversed by Duck Pond
Run. Before the transaction was
carried out, a portion of the property had been under cultivation for
some years, but since it was surrounded by wooded areas, the
farming had not been very successful. That was one incentive for the
Liao and Lin families to make alternative plans.
To help celebrate its first significant transaction of this type, FOWWOS decided to hold a ceremonial
tree planting on the site in the fall of
1999. The idea was to have Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts from the local troops plant the trees. Since it
was the fall — usually an ideal time
for planting small trees — it was
expected that in a few years there
would be a forest on the site that
had once been cleared for farming.
As luck would have it, 1998
proved to be one of the driest falls
on record, and nearly all the trees
died in a few months for lack of water. Today, 17 years later, the area is
fairly well covered by trees that
have grown up through natural reforestation. And, of course, there is
the stone marker and its plaque
marking this very special event in
local land preservation history.
A
t one of the regular monthly
meetings during the fall of
1999 it was suggested that FOWWOS should have some way to
communicate with its members,
such as through a monthly newsletter. Thus was the FOWWOS News
born. Two very enthusiastic board
members, Alison Miller and this
writer, volunteered to take on the
project as editors/writers. After
much discussion about a title and
format, board member and ex-

mayor Bob Murray decided that we
should call it “The FOWWOS
News.” And so it was.
As editors, it was left to Alison
and me to decide what it should
look like. We also decided that it
should be put out three times a year.
After doing the first issue, it was
decided that more often than that
was beyond our “capability.” Remember that in those days this was
a type and print job. There was no
automated computer-based publishing, so it had to be done the hard
way. That meant taking the finished
typescript to a printer and then having someone affix address labels
and postage on them, and taking
them to the post office for special
handling mailing. Three times a
year was enough.
The format of the FOWWOS
News included a self-designed
decorative masthead on the front
with a logo designed by early member Vincent Nichnadowicz. Other
features of the design were pretty
much dictated by the software
available to me on my now-ancient
Mac G-4 computer. My own longevity on this newsletter project
lasted through the Spring-Summer
issue of 2007 — a total of 24 issues.
They all carried the names of
three of the most important FOWWOS founders, Gil Gilmore, Ron
Rogers, and Bernt Midland. They
had all passed away during FOWWOS’ formative years, and they
were all essential parts of what it
came to be. There will be more
about the workings of FOWWOS
in future stories, including information about its leaders, some of
whom served the township in this
important function for many years.
Today FOWWOS continues its
work. Now, however, with a much
reduced percentage of open space
remaining in the township, its job is
somewhat different than it was.
Drop by the FOWWOS tent at the
Saturday Farmers Market and
check it out.
