.S. News & World Report
recently issued its annual
high school rankings, and
once again West Windsor-Plainsboro schools scored well statewide. High School South was
ranked number 14 in New Jersey,
and High School North ranked
20th out of 398 public high schools.
By comparison, Princeton High
School was ranked 10th, and
Montgomery was 16th. Nationally, South is 253rd, while North is
ranked 360th.
Nonetheless, while both schools
ranked very high, and earned “national gold” status, the rankings for
both South and North were not as
high as last year, when they were
ranked at 8th and 16th, respectively. It should be noted that while
both schools are above the state
average in language and math proficiency, as well as in college readiness (based on AP tests), both
schools are also above average in a
not-so-positive category — student to teacher ratio.
Both WW-P high schools are
also considered among the best
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) high
schools in the country. In coming
WW Council Approves Union Contract, New Ordinances
W
hile the question of who will be
the next West Windsor Township attorney lingered in the background, the last of the outstanding
contracts between the township and
the collective bargaining units that
work with the town has been ratified.
At its May 27 meeting, the Council authorized the township to enter into a
collective bargaining agreement with
the Communications Workers of
America (CWA) Local 1032 by a 4-0
vote (Bryan Maher was absent).
The contract covers the three-year
period from January 1, 2013, through
December 31, 2015. The negotiated
wage increases for all employees in
the CWA are 1.25 percent for 2013, 1.5
percent for 2014, and 1.75 percent for
2015 — the same increase as had been
included in the agreements with other
unions within the township, explained
business
administrator Marlena
Schmid.
Council also approved an ordinance
recognizing the creation of several
new bus stops and shelters, as well as
an ordinance to allow a new PNC
Bank on Quakerbridge Road to connect to the Lawrence Township sewer
system. The bank’s location made it
difficult to connect to the sewer system used by West Windsor.
In addition council approved a measure allowing the township to cancel
the bond appropriations in the amount
of approximately $200,000 for capital
projects that had previously been identified by township CFO Joanne Louth
as being no longer needed (The News,
May 16).
Said Schmid: “The administration
is currently working with the engineering department to identify engi-

neering capital projects, which is the
largest portion of open bond projects
that might fall into this category.
Township engineer Francis Guzik is
expected to make a presentation to
outline which engineering bonded
capital projects can be canceled.”
The township attorney issue may
soon move to the front burner. The
clerk’s office has announced that nine
applicants have responded to the RFP
for the position. “The administration
is preparing a comparison chart for the
benefit of the review committee” and
later for public review. The first committee meeting, which will be open to
the public, is tentatively scheduled for
Tuesday, June 10, at a time and location to be determined.
The next Council meeting will be
held on Monday, June 9, at 7:30 p.m.
in the municipal center. — Sue Roy
up with this list, U.S. News only
considered the top 500 public high
schools in the country. South
placed 38th and North ranked
43rd. According to this ranking
system, based on math scores and
AP testing, WW-P schools did
much better than other area
schools: Princeton ranked 91st and
Montgomery 140th.
Regarding the schools’ rankings, Board of Education President
Tony Fleres said “let’s be very
clear — magazine rankings of
schools are based on arbitrary
standards, and the primary purpose behind them is to sell magazines. They do not necessarily indicate the level of education a
school provides.
“Having said that, I am pleased
to announce that High School
South was ranked number 14 and
High School North was ranked
number 20. Being ranked as one of
the top schools is an achievement,
one that we should be proud of.”
The district’s world languages
program has also been recognized
as one of the top in the state.
WW-P was one of 10 districts
statewide to receive an award for

Plainsboro Library Plans Strategy
P
lainsboro Library is looking to
by Sue Roy
develop a comprehensive strategic planning process to ensure that the library is meeting community needs for the next five years. As envisioned, the
plan will examine Plainsboro’s growth patterns and demographics, identify services that will align with projected trends
as well as new technologies, and identify funding needs for
these services.
To that end, the library sent out a request for proposals seeking a consultant to assist the board of trustees, library staff, and
the community in developing a comprehensive strategic plan
that will include goals, measurable objectives, and strategies.
The board of trustees held a special meeting on May 27 to
interview candidates for the position, with the hope that the
chosen consultant could begin work in June, and the project,
including a final presentation to the library board, foundation
board, and staff must be fully completed by the end of December.
The board’s objectives for the strategic plan include ensuring that library services and resources are in line with patrons’

I lost two classmates and a
Princeton Township policeman in
1953 during one of the more severe
floodings. While development is a
contributing factor it is not all to
blame. Several years back when
Windsor Haven was developed that
detention pond was designed not
only to detain waters from the development but also to take high water coming down the Bear Brook
and thus slow or reduce the flooding at Washington Road.
Thinking outside the box might
be applied in the future. We should
not follow the lead of Plainsboro
when faced with the flooding of
Plainsboro Road. They raised the
bridge near the Walker Gordon development, but left the roadway at
the original level.
One idea that might be effective
would be to seek an easement from
SRI to clear the debris and vegetation out of Bear Brook and improve
the flow of that stream.

t seems to me that all of the plans
for high-density housing are for
the Princeton Junction area. Transit
village, the Cyanamid site, and
now the Maneely site are all in the
Princeton Junction area of West
Windsor.
How about putting some of these
high-density sites in other areas of
West Windsor? There is a lot of
land in other areas of this township
for these high-density homes. The
mayor should be looking for other
areas in West Windsor to put this
type of development and balance
the high-density housing in the
township.
How about being “forward
thinking” and looking to other areas in West Windsor for high-density housing and not just in the
Princeton Junction area. We have
all the traffic, noise, stores, etc., we
can handle.

Suburban Lawn —
A Suburban Curse?
A
s I sit here trapped in my
house, unable to go outside to
garden or enjoy this spring day,
contemplating wearing ear protection INSIDE my house, I am once
again struck by the absurdly ridiculous, ignorant, and thoughtless behavior of the human species. The
behavior I am referring to is the use
of lawn services who arrive every
day in my neighborhood, driving
tanks capable of keeping back any
intruding enemy.
No, it’s not a war zone, although
it certainly sounds like one. It is a
suburban street of half-acre lots.
These machines destroy our ecosystem, drive away singing birds,
ruin our hearing, pollute the earth
with noise and engine exhaust and
generally drive nature-loving human beings totally insane.
The selfishness of the people
who employ these lawn services
never ceases to amaze me. Does it
ever occur to any of them (sitting
inside with their air conditioners at
full blast) that maybe some of us
would like to open a window?
Maybe even venture outside to garden? Walk our dogs in peace?
Imagine that! Something must be
done to regulate this insanity that I
call the suburban curse.

MAY 30, 2014
I
t has been five years since that
terrible day in May, 2009, when
the Baker family suffered a sudden and devastating loss that no
one should ever have to bear. Just
three weeks before graduating
from high school, Kenny Baker
lost his long battle with anxiety and
depression and committed suicide
on the railroad tracks near his home
in Plainsboro. The pain of his
shocking death was difficult
enough for his mother, Tricia, her
husband, Kurt, and their daughter,
Katelyn, then just a high school
sophomore. But what made their
grief even greater was the reaction
of some members of their community to the way Kenny died, the attitude that somehow, because he
took his own life, there was something shameful about it.
It was out of this discrimination
and hurt that they decided that no
one should have to suffer the sting
of the stigma that often comes with
mental illness. In the days of grief
that followed, Tricia reached deep
inside her well of sorrow to draw
strength and vow that no family
should have to suffer the way hers
did in the wake of Kenny’s death.
In the deepest dark of her own family’s tragedy, there had to be some
light, some hope.
This is how and why AIR — Attitudes in Reverse — was born. The
mission is ingrained in the name: to
reverse attitudes about mental illness and remove the stigma. The
Suburban Mom
name itself delivers a powerful
message: that mental illness is like
air. Just because you don’t see it
doesn’t mean it isn’t there. It is all
around us. The name was the brainchild of Katelyn, Kenny’s sister,
who won a New Jersey Governor’s
Ambassador Award for the concept.
In the five years since Kenny’s
death, the Bakers have become
tireless and passionate advocates to
educate young people about good
mental health and suicide prevention. They want to remove the stigma of mental illness and help people speak freely about it without
feeling like they are being judged
or rejected. They have touched the
lives of thousands of young people
through AIR’s programs.
“Coming up for AIR” is a presentation for students in middle
school, high school, and college. It
has raw and immediate impact because it is led by students who
speak candidly — peer to peer —
about mental health issues and their
own experiences. To date almost
15,000 students in New Jersey,
New York, and Vermont have participated in this program, and thousands more will have the opportunity to do so, thanks to the Bakers
and their hardy band of volunteers

message. There are a lot of nodding
heads at these events but hardly a
dry eye.
“In Their Shoes” is a traveling
exhibit that also moves people to
tears. Launched on World Suicide
Prevention Day last September at
the New Jersey Department of Human Services with Commissioner
Jennifer Velez in attendance, the
exhibit consists of 234 pairs of
shoes. They represent the 234
young people of New Jersey, aged
10 through 24, who committed suicide from 2009 to 2011.
Traveling means packing and
unpacking the shoes and hauling
them from town to town. The boxes
are heavy. It is backbreaking work.
But the exhibit is gripping and
haunting. It stops people in their
tracks and makes them reflect. It
sparks conversations among complete strangers who share the powerful experience. AIR created a
public service announcement for
television and radio based on this
exhibit, voiced by real teenagers
talking about real issues.
AIR Dogs: Paws for Minds
started in 2012. To fully understand
the mission of this program, you
have to understand that when Tricia
is not working countless hours as
an educator and advocate, she is a
dog lover and trainer. Miki, her Pomeranian and AIR ambassador,
won a national award in 2011 — the
American Kennel Club’s Humane
Fund Award of Canine Excellence
— for his work as a therapy dog.
While mental illness and suicide
prevention may be difficult to talk
about, it is really easy to pet a dog.
That’s why certified therapy dogs
like Miki travel with the AIR team
to student presentations and community events, helping to start important conversations about mental
health and suicide prevention.
Emotional support dogs can
help people with mental health issues. AIR locates great dogs in
shelters, trains them, and then
matches them with people who suffer from a mental health issue. So
far AIR has matched four emotional support dogs with people with
disabilities. Roxie was placed with
Matthew, whose mother reports
that the dog has worked wonders
with her son in just a few short
months that years of therapy could
not. Oliver has helped Stacey overcome her fears and shyness and
helped her adjust to a more inde-

With all of this, it should come

The Bakers’ goal is to improve

people with mental illness and to

they are doing exactly that every

Longtime Friends
Earn Eagle Awards
N
oah Kreutter and Patrick
Menninger have been
friends since kindergarten
and are now graduating seniors at
High School South. They also began their scouting careers together
with Cub Scout Pack 759 as second
graders, and appropriately, celebrated their Eagle Court of Honor
together on May 10.
Kreutter’s project was building
a pergola for the First Presbyterian
Church of Plainsboro, where he
and his family are members. “A
pergola is a structure similar to a
gazebo,” he says. “It provides
shade and serves as a place for people to meet outdoors. The church
requested this project because they
wanted a place for parents to watch
their kids on the playground. The
project took about a year of planning and paperwork to get signed
off, and then took one challenging
week to execute.”
Highlights of Kreutter’s scouting career include three summers
as counselor at the Ockanickon
Boy Scout camp, where Troop 759
has traditionally attended, and
which has been a tremendous training ground for younger scouts.
“They were some of the best summers I’ve ever had,” he says.
Kreutter, a four-year varsity
wrestler at South, was selected for
the All-Packet team this year as the
top wrestler in his weight class.
“I chose scouting in the second
grade as a fun way to go on camping trips with my friends,” says
Kreutter. “As I grew older, I became more aware of the other side
of scouting — leadership and service. To me, scouting is a way of
bettering oneself while giving back
to the community.”
Kreutter, who will attend Georgia Tech in the fall, is the oldest son
of Laura and Kevin Kreutter of
Plainsboro. His sister, Mariah, is a
sophomore at South; and his brother, Duncan, is an eighth grader at
Grover Middle School.
M
enninger has played baseball
competitively since age five,
including freshman and JV ball at
South. After being a part of WWP
Babe Ruth’s 15-year-old state
championship team in 2012, he
knew that he wanted his Eagle project to have a baseball theme.
His Eagle project was renovating the Zanghi Little League baseball field at Cranbury Village Park.
It included rebuilding the pitcher’s
mound, basepaths, and home plate
area. “It was gratifying to receive
positive feedback on the batter’s
boxes from one of the current
coaches, which we heard as we
were arriving for our next work
session,” Menninger says. “I was
very happy to help improve a field
that I spent so much time on growing up.”
In addition to scouting and baseball, Menninger is a member of
South’s varsity ice hockey team.
He also oversees the tutoring program for the National Honor Society at South.
The highlights of Menninger’s
scouting career include waterskiing at Camp Rodney, organizing/
and serving as senior patrol leader
on the ski trip, impromptu sledding
at the Klondike Derby, and hiking
in the Poconos with the Philmont
crew.
Eagle Scouts: Patrick Menninger, left, and Noah
Kreutter became Eagle Scouts at a May 10 ceremony.
“Scouting has enabled me to
grow as a leader and to serve my
community, and I have gained many skills through scouting that have
prepared me to handle almost any
situation,” Menninger says. “My
favorite part about scouting, however, is the affinity for adventure
that has become ingrained in my
personality.”
Patrick, who will attend Rice
University in the fall, is the son of
Marilyn and John Menninger of
Plainsboro. His sister, Annie, is a
sophomore at South.
Boy Scout Troop 759 reached a
milestone of 50 Eagle Scouts,
thanks to their newest Eagles. The
troop is chartered through Queenship of Mary Church in Plainsboro,
and meets at the church most Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Visit www.
troop759nj.org for information
about joining.
R
. Dallin Nielsen of West Windsor also completed his Eagle
Scout project. A member of Troop
183, his leader is Bryon Simmons.
Nielsen is an eighth grade student
at Grover Middle School. His parents are Heather and Brent.
His project was to build 12 informational plaques about butterfly species and beneficial insects
native to New Jersey. The signs
were installed around the garden of
Dutch Neck School in West Windsor. The garden is maintained by
teachers, students, and community
members.
“I attended Dutch Neck School
and I wanted to do something for
the school,” he says. His signs will
allow the students to study butterflies outside. His assistants include
family, friends, teammates, Boy
Scouts, and other leaders in the
church and scout troop. He received donations from West Windsor-Plainsboro Education Foundation, West Windsor Plainsboro
Soccer Association, and from his
family.
“The completion and installation of the informational butterfly
plaques will be very helpful to our
students in their study of butterflies
and the garden ecosystem,” says
David Argese, principal at Dutch
Neck School. “I am sure that your
project will remain a lasting part of
the garden and continuously aide
young learners in their experiences
at our school.”
Softball Inspires
Kaul’s Gold Award
S
andhya Kaul, above, a junior at
High School South, completed
her Girl Scout Gold Award project.
She has been a Girl Scout for nine
years. A member of Troop 70207,
her leader is Pat Helck. She is the
daughter of Sandeep and Kiran.
Kaul’s project focused on training kids, with and without disabilities, to play softball. She worked
with Hamilton YMCA Special kids
Organized Recreation (SKOR) and
Gametime Performance in Hamilton. A softball player since elementary school, she became a varsity
softball player in her freshman year
at South.
“My goal was to share my
knowledge and love of softball
with kids that have a growing interest in the sport like I once did,” she
says. “I have always wanted to
make the game of softball more appreciated in my community and
portray it as an equal to its sibling
sport and national pastime, baseball.”
Her father taught her how to
play softball, and she taught her
younger sister, Priyanka. “Along
with my dad, I have had many great
coaches who taught me the game
and gave me an example of a fun
and great coach,” she says.
She created a week of training
on softball drills such as hitting, infield and outfield fielding, and base
running. “The issue my project addressed is kids — and their lack of
knowledge of softball as a sport,”
she says. Although softball was a
focus, she also wanted to work with
kids from Special Olympics, an organization she volunteers for.
Kaul devised skills including
hitting a softball off a tee, throwing
and catching drills, base running
MAY 30, 2014
drills, and the basic rules of rounding bases, when to run, and the difference between being safe and
out. “I noted through the drills that
the kids developed improved handeye coordination, learned basic
judgment on catching balls with a
glove, learned how and when to
throw to other teammates, how to
properly swing a bat to make contact with a pitched ball, and how to
run bases and tag each other out, or
in the same vein, how to avoiding
getting tagged out — all while having fun,” she says.
The biggest achievement,
though, extended beyond the development of physical skills.
“Throughout my experience, I realized that softball teaches you a lot
of life lessons, such as teamwork
and never giving up,” she says.
“There are a lot of let downs and
slumps in softball, but you should
never become discouraged; instead, one just needs to make corrections through coaches, teammates, and self-motivation, and
then get back at it and try harder.”
Kaul wanted to show them that
success is the result not only of
hard work and dedication, but also
in having fun, since people rarely
succeed at something they do not
enjoy.
“The steady improvement in the
skills and self-worth of the participants, and the development of my
coaching abilities, were the most
rewarding aspects of my project,”
she says. “My main goal was to be
an insightful and positive coach
and mentor, just as my coaches
have been to me,” she says. “I was
particularly gratified to see the positive outcome of my coaching
through the rapid development of
skills, self-confidence, and camaContinued on following page

South Sophomore
Wins Grand Prize
O
hyoon Kwon, a sophomore at
High School South, won the
grand prize at the Mercer Science
and Engineering Fair in March and
went on to win a fourth place award
at the International Science and Engineering Fair in Los Angeles. The
fair, sponsored by Intel, brought
together 1,787 top science fair winners from more than 70 countries,
regions, and territories.
Kwon’s project, “A New Direction for the Molecular Genetics of
an Autistic Disorder,” earned her a
$500 prize. Kwon’s research investigated how the MeCP2 protein affects the expression of the L1 molecule, and hence the appearance of
the Rett syndrome, a devastating
neurological disorder related to autism. It prevents proper development of the brain, causing muscular weakness, movement disorders
and inhibited verbal development.
The results could be significant in
understanding and eventually
treating this disease.

Market Maintains Positive Trend
here is a lot of positive
movement in the U.S.
housing market as it continues to recover and strengthen.
Rising home prices are allowing homeowners — especially
those who may previously have
been “under water” (owing more
than their home was worth) to
place their homes up for sale
and recover their true equity. In
addition to it being a great time
to sell, continued low interest
rates are making it favorable
to buy — a trend the National
Association of Home Builders
(NAHB) is preparing for as it
moves forward with a strong
increase in new homes being
built this year.
NAHB is forecasting 1.15
million housing starts in 2014,
an increase of 24.5 percent from
the 2013 total of 928,000 units.
Out of that total, single-family
home production is projected
to rise 32 percent in 2014 to
882,000 units, with an expectation of a further surge in 2015 to
1.16 million units.
Whether it’s a new home or
a resale that buyers are looking
for, the added inventory available in today’s market is allowing people whose lives have
been put on hold due to market
conditions to now consider (re)
entering the market. During the
past few years, for example,
many college graduates were
forced to move in with their parents or at least put their buying
needs on hold. Now, stronger
job growth and a strengthening economy are helping open
doors — literally — to a rise in
The added inventory in today’s market is allowing people whose lives have

A
cademic and extracurricular
concerns topped the agenda at
the WW-P School Board’s May 20
meeting as board members looked
toward the 2014-’15 school year.
Several areas of the West WindsorPlainsboro school district curriculum are being reviewed and updated, according to Board of Education Vice President Richard Kaye.
One update approved at the
meeting was the summer reading
lists and assignments. “The board’s
curriculum committee has worked
hard on the summer homework assignment. We now have a clear
purpose behind the assignments
and reading lists that make sense
based on reading level, ability, and
interest. We want to encourage students to continue reading and
learning throughout the summer —
not turn them off to it. So now the
written assignments that go along
with the reading assignments will
be capped at 5 percent of the first
marking period grade and will not
be due to the teachers until at least
a week of instruction has been
completed.”
The approved summer reading
lists and assignments for all grades
have been posted on the district
website at www.west-windsorplainsboro.k12.nj.us/h_o_m_e.
The curriculum committee is
also reviewing the concept of
“bring your own device” for high
school students. “The curriculum
committee has already begun discussions on this topic and will continue these discussions, with the
goal being implementation of this
program in the 2015-’16 school
year. We would like to create a separate working group for this project, with one board member each
from the curriculum, finance, and
administration committees.”
“Among other things,” said
Kaye, “we need to look at training
for teachers and staff, costs, and
what to do about students who do
not have their own devices.”
Data is being gathered on the
Chromebook pilot program, under
which students in certain fifth
grade classrooms at Millstone River and Village schools were given
Chromebooks, to inform next
year’s program. The plan is to expand the pilot to offer devices to all
students entering sixth grade in the
2014-’15 school year (WWP
News, June 7, 2013).
In addition, Kaye explained that
the special education and world
history curricula are in the process
of being revised and updated.
The student school trip policy is
also under discussion. “I support
student trips wholeheartedly,” said
Kaye. “I believe they serve a valuable educational purpose and offer
students the opportunity to expand
their knowledge through new experiences. I also believe it is very
important for students to learn
teamwork and how to work together as a group.”
“Having said that, as I have said
before, when considering whether
to support a particular school trip I
consider both the expense, because
such trips can become a costly
proposition for a family, and the rationale behind the trips. And I am
keeping both of these items in mind
when I consider the proposed High
School South swim team trip to
Coral Springs, Florida, from December 26 to December 31, 2014,
at a cost of approximately $700 per
student.”
“I wholeheartedly support the
swim team, and believe that it is a
valuable part of our district program, and my voting ‘no’ on this
trip should in no way indicate that I
am opposed to the swim team or to
student trips in general. And I understand the rationale behind their
trip — the team wishes to train in

Flocking to Keep Post Prom Tradition Alive

gear up for prom every year
— with thoughts of dress shopping, limo reservations, flowers, hair, manicures, and tuxedo fittings filling their
minds — some of their parents are busy
planning post-prom, an all-night extravaganza aimed at keeping the seniors off the roads and away from drugs
and alcohol.
“Post Prom is a time-honored tradition immediately following the prom
for the students to be entertained, fed,
wowed (the theme is a secret until the
night of) and kept safe in a drug and alcohol-free environment for the overnight,” says Chris Cirkus, one of the

Post Prom event. “This is a totally parent-led evening, planned over the
course of the entire senior year. Our
decorating committee has been cutting,
sawing, gluing, and glittering for
months.”
“North’s event will be held during
the overnight of June 6 to 7, beginning
at midnight and ending at 5 a.m. with
the junior parents coming in to break
down all of the sets and decorations,”
says Cirkus, also the manager of the
West Windsor Farmers’ Market. “We
will begin setting up Thursday, June 5,
and continue after the students leave
for the half day on Friday, June 6, at
noon. It is a mad dash to get everything
ready, but after heading this up for my
older daughter three years ago, I was up
for the challenge again.”
“Any parents who have lived Post
Prom at both North or South would be
nostalgic and readers who have younger children in the district can look to the
future,” says Cirkus. “Volunteerism is
down significantly, and to preserve this
tradition, there will need to be a resurgence of parents at the helm.”
Examples of some of North’s past
themes have been Knight Flight, Winter
Wonderland, Ports of Call, Jersey
Shore, A Knight Across America, and
Wizard of Oz. High school seniors and
parents have traditionally started to plan
their Post Prom one year before their
prom, so the planning process for the
Class of 2015 will begin next week.
“Fundraising has been a challenge
financially, and the 2014 kids were
asked to pay something to attend post
prom this year,” says Lori K. Bohling, a
committee member of the 2016 event.
“Something had to be done, and change
is good.”
“There are kids in this town that truly cannot afford to pay. We want no one
excluded, and we want to keep all kids
safe after prom by throwing this extravaganza,” says Bohling. The parents met
with the students and went into action.
“This is the kids’ event, so other than
the surprise theme of the post prom, the
kids should really be involved as much
as they can.”
“It was time to try some new things
and leave a legacy for the 2017 and beyond,” says Bohling. “Mary Ann Harpel started the 2016 committee and
asked Nancy Mann and myself to head
it with her.”
The Class of 2016 has introduced a
new fundraiser to the school known as
“flocking.” When a house is “flocked”
the homeowner will wake up to a flock
of pink plastic flamingos on their front
lawn. It’s a humorous but harmless
prank and a unique way to raise money
for a good cause.
Students, parents, or any resident
can pay to “flock” someone’s house or
you can purchase insurance not to get
flocked. The students or staff can pay to
rent a flock of 10, 24, or 36 flamingos
for $10 to $30, and then the flocking
committee will put the flamingos out in
the specified yard for a day. Students,
staff, and parents can also pay antiflocking insurance to protect their lawn
from the flock. E-mail postprom2016@
gmail.com for details and ordering.
“With the backing and support of the
West Windsor and Plainsboro police
forces, our parents, and our community, the fundraiser should be a great success,” says Bohling.

needs and expectations; the library maintains
long-term financial viability; improvements
are made in visibility, awareness, and communications to encourage increased patronage among residents; the library becomes
better recognized as a community partner organization; and that the library offers a vibrant workplace that continues to attract and
retain talented, creative, and service-oriented
employees.
The library, which opened in its new location in 2010, is governed by a nine-member
board appointed by Mayor Peter Cantu (who
is also a trustee). The board also includes volunteers who live or work in Plainsboro, as
well as elected officials,township employees,
and the library director. It is staffed by 11 fulltime and 30 part-time employees.
Its operating budget for the 2014 calendar
year is $2,011,316, the majority of which is
funded by municipal appropriations, this
year amounting to $1,950,716. The Library
Foundation, established in 2010, raises funds
for special projects and capital expenditures.
In 2013 the library averaged more than
820 visitors a day, with nearly 1,000 per day
during the summer months. The library owns
approximately 150,000 books and periodicals. The library is not affiliated with the
Middlesex County library system but does
belong to the Libraries of Middlesex Automation Consortium (LMxAC), which allows
patrons to request items from other libraries.
Last year 1,269 library and communitysponsored programs were held at the library,
and total program attendance was approximately 29,120.
The board is hoping to increase the level of
participation, and part of the strategic plan
project will include outreach to non-users to
better develop programs and services to attract more community patrons.
In addition, the plan will seek to establish
more fundraising avenues to enable the library to offer more programs and services,
including technology upgrades, to retain current customers and attract new ones.

SUMMER MATH PROGRAM 2014
A
s of Saturday, June 21, New Jersey Transit will be offering a revised bus route
through Plainsboro and Princeton that should
benefit Plainsboro residents.
According to NJ Transit officials, the “655
bus,” which currently loops around the communities of Princeton and Plainsboro, will
now have a more direct route through the
towns. The new route will have stops at several retail and residential areas along Plainsboro Road, as well as the University Medical
Center of Princeton at Plainsboro, McCarter
Theater, and the Princeton Shopping Center.
NJ Transit is hoping that the new, direct
route will increase ridership, and to that end
is trying to raise awareness of the route’s existence and many local stops. Speaking at the
Central Jersey Transportation Forum, Cheryl
Kastrenakes, executive director of the Greater Mercer Transportation Management Association, noted that many people think this bus
route only serves the hospital. NJ Transit
plans to add signs to the 655 buses listing
many of the other stops along the route.
In addition, in order to generate additional
interest and ridership, NJ Transit will be offering free rides on the 655 bus from June 24
through June 26.
In a related move, the Greater Mercer
Transportation Management Association has
begun offering a new service, called RideProvide, to Plainsboro senior citizens.
RideProvide “is available to all seniors 65
years and over and all adult residents who are
visually impaired,” said Mayork Peter Cantu.
“Fees for rides are deducted from the rider’s
transportation account, but are free to residents traveling to any Princeton HealthCare
facility in Plainsboro or Mercer County.”
For the last five years, RideProvide has
been providing service only to residents of
Mercer County, but with the University Medical Center now in Plainsboro, the decision
was made to expand the service area to residents of Plainsboro as well. For more information call RideProvide at 609-452-5140.

South’s Stunner
Sisters an Asset to South Track
D
efying all odds, South’s baseball
team emerged as the champions
of the Mercer County Tournament when they defeated the top-seeded
Hamilton West, 8-5, in the finals on May
15.
After a mediocre season, the Pirates
entered the tournament seeded 11th and
without a single victory against the four
teams they would face in the tournament
— Robbinsville, Steinert, Pennington,
and Hamilton West. The team’s losing
record meant South did not even qualify
for the state tournament.
But in four well-played games — including two grueling 11-inning marathons in the final and semifinal rounds
— the Pirates took first at the MCT for
the first time in 12 years and the third
time in school history.
At the bottom of the seventh inning
— the end of a regulation high school
baseball game — the score was tied at 2.
The deadlock continued into the 10th inning, when South scored three runs to
pull ahead, 5-2, but a Hamilton run followed by a bases-loaded double re-tied
the score.
Hamilton West seemed poised to win,
with Gerry Gomez attempting to score
from first on the double, but a good play
by right fielder Stephen Ochoa and a strong relay
throw from first baseman Sean O’Brien caught Gomez
at third. South added three runs in the 11th to secure the
win.
Between his instrumental throw in the final game
and his pitching in the semifinal game, O’Brien was
named tournament MVP.
A
lthough North failed to make it past the quarterfinals in the Mercer County Tournament, the
Knights did qualify for the state tournament, where
they fell to Monroe, 4-2.

12-3 record, they placed first in the
Central Jersey Girls Golf League,
second in CJGGL Tournament, and
third in the Mercer County Tournament. They also placed fourth in
the NJSIAA South Sectional Tournament, which allowed them to advance to the NJSIAA Tournament

The team also broke several re-

team scored 168, the lowest score
in the history of the North girls’

first time ever, the team had six

Additionally, three players, Saachi Bedi, Kaley Bohling, and Sanjana Uppaluri, were named to the

ollowing up their recent victory at the Mercer County
Championship, the South
girls’ track and field team placed
fourth at the Central Jersey Group 4
sectionals on May 23 and 24.
Among the team’s many impressive runners are sisters Edyln and
Edwina Gulama. The girls, who
live in West Windsor, were born in
Africa, where they began their running careers by participating in a
yearly relay event.
After moving to the United
States, Edlyn, now a junior, began
running cross country in sixth
grade and track in eighth grade. Edwina, a freshman, started running
track in sixth grade.
At sectionals both girls ran in the
4x400 and 4x100 meter relays, in
which South placed third and
fourth, respectively. Additionally,
Edlyn competed in the 800 meter
run, where she came in fifth, and
the 4x800 meter relay, where the
South team came in second. Edwina competed in the 100 and 400
meter dashes.
The girls say that they enjoy
competing together in the relays.
“I love being on the team with
her. It’s fun,” says Edlyn. “Also, I
feel like it pushes me. I’m older; I
don’t want her to beat me.”
Edwina also appreciates that
running together in relays allows
her to compare herself to her sister.
“Even though she’s older, sometimes I have a better time for my
part,” she says.
The Gulamas will also be competing in the upcoming Group 4
championship meet.
Says Edlyn: “I’m prepared for
it.” She noted that she is excited to
have the opportunity to compete
against the best runners in New Jersey.
Her sister, however, finds the
upcoming meet more daunting.
She points out that the rest of the
South 4x400 team is composed of
her sister and Deirdre Casey, both
juniors, and sophomore Christina
Rancan, who is one of the top runners in the state.
“It’s kind of nerve-wracking being a freshman,” she says.
Despite her anxiety, coach Todd
Smith describes her as “one of the
county’s best sprinters.” He also
said that the family has been “very
good” to the South track and field
team, noting that the girls’ older
brother, Eddison graduated from
South last year and is now running
Division I track at St. Joseph’s University.
The Gulamas were not the only
members of their team to do well at
sectionals. Casey, their relay teammate, came in second in the 800
meter run and fourth in the 1600
meter run. Rancan was third in the
1600 meter run and fifth in the
3200 meter run. Additionally,
sophomore Kathryn Schoenauer
came in second in the long jump,
fourth in the 100 meter hurdles, and
fifth in the 100 meter dash.
Though her team placed seventh
overall, North’s Patrycja Dziekonska had the best individual results
of any WW-P runner at the meet.
Dziekonska won the 100 meter
hurdles and the long jump and
came in second in the 100 meter
dash. Teammate Simone Counts
placed second in the 1600 meter
run and sixth in the 800 meter run.
T
he boys’ teams did not do as
well as their counterparts with
South coming in 11th and North
coming in 14th. However, in the
3200 meter run, South’s Nikhil Pulimood, Tim Bason, and Karn
fifth respectively. South’s Thomas
Vinci also placed, coming in fifth
in the 1600 meter run. North’s
Jamel Johnson came in second in
the 400 meter hurdles and Aathreya
Thuppul placed sixth in long jump.
All athletes who placed in the
top six in their events advance to
the Group 4 championship, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, May
30 and 31, in Egg Harbor.

Diet Secrets
MAY 31
R
achel Pires, a 2001 graduate of
High School South, will talk
about her new book, “Diet Enlightenment: The Real Secret to Weight
Loss” at the new author’s night at
Barnes & Noble on Wednesday,
June 11, at 7 p.m.
“My book teaches readers the
secrets that the multibillion-dollar
dieting industry doesn’t want dieters to know, and helps them learn
how to lose weight easily and permanently without giving up their
favorite foods,” says Pires. “With a
spiritual and Buddhist twist, readers learn how to listen to their body,
how to lose weight eating the foods
they like, and how to free themselves from the bondage of emotional eating.”
Born in Connecticut, she was
raised in West Windsor and attended Hawk, WW-P Upper Elementary (Millstone), and Community
Middle schools. During her freshman year at South she became involved in Taekwondo at United
Black Belt and in competitive
dance in Robbinsville. “It’s great
for learning discipline,” she says,
“but it is a huge commitment.”
Practices were both before and after school, and the focus at competitions was on the Olympics. It was
also the path to an unhealthy relationship with food. “We would
have to drop weight for tournaments and competitions,” she says.
Pires put on the “freshman 15”
in college at Boston University. “I
tried low carb diets, Weight Watchers, and others,” she says. “I lost it
every time but always gained it
back.” It was when she began to eat
healthier and exercise that she lost
the weight and maintained it.
“I went from being someone
who struggled with binge-eating

and yo-yo dieting for most of my
life, to now becoming a master of
weight loss,” she says. “I had my
first child in October, and easily
took off all of the baby weight
within a few months. Everyone that
I have put on my program has had
remarkable results with weight
loss. It is now my mission to help
individuals who have tried everything else, finally learn how to lose
weight the right way and make
peace with dieting.” Her father has
lost close to 50 pounds using her
diet secrets — and has kept it off.
After receiving a bachelor of
science degree in communications
in 2005, she headed to California,
where she was a marketing assistant for Creative Artists Agency in
Beverly Hills, and then an online
media manager for Ionic Media in
Los Angeles. “I started to miss
family so I came back,” she says.
Pires works in the marketing department at Educational Testing
Service. “I have the skills to do it
all,” she says. Her husband, Andre
Pires, is a civil engineer with Toll
Brothers in New York City.
New Author: Rachel
Pires has published a
book on dieting.
Although her parents divorced
when she was two, they both live in
the area and now take turns babysitting. Her father, Kenneth Kutner,
is a neuropsychologist at Cornell
Medical Center. He lives in Plainsboro. Her mother, Sheryl Hochman
Leon, is a bank vice president.
She also has four stepsisters.
Kaylin Kutner, a freshman at
South; Jaclyn Leon, a junior at
South; Michelle Leon, a 2012
South graduate; and Nicole Leon, a
2004 South graduate. “I am so happy that they all got the South experience,” says Pires.

Rock, Jazz, and Pop
M
att Wong of West Windsor
presents a CD release show
in conjunction with his new album
on Saturday, May 31, at 8:30 p.m.
at Small World Coffee in Princeton. “Reflections” is the second album for the teenage guitarist. His
scheduled guests include singer
songwriters Anker of Cranbury and
Raw Coffee from Princeton. They
will perform solos, and Anker will
do duets with Wong.
The music featured includes
songs off the “Reflections” album,
covers of music by artists such as
the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and
Bon Jovi, and songs by special
guests. The CD will be available
for purchase. Admission is free.
Wong, a junior at High School
South, picked up the guitar at age
six and has been playing ever since.
He studies with Bruce Arnold in
New York City and now has his
own students. “Teaching is one of
my favorite things to do, and I really look up to my teachers and
hope I can be as good as them,”
says Wong. “Teaching music also
allows you to grow as a musician
because you learn quite a lot from
your students.”
Guitar is his primary instrument,
and he plays both acoustic and
electric. “When I do my solo touring and performing, I play acoustic, but when I play in ensembles
and with other people, I usually
play electric,” he says.
Wong focuses on playing “fingerstyle,” which allows him to hold
down the melody, rhythm, and bass
parts simultaneously, while adding
a little percussion. He was first inspired to play this style when he
heard Tommy Emmanuel, a guitar
player from Australia, using this
method. Using fingerstyle, Wong
has composed several originals and
has also arranged a number of well
known songs in a variation of jazz
ballads and rock tunes.
As a composer, Wong has written more than a dozen original
tunes. Many of these compositions
can be heard on Wong’s debut album, “Fly Me to the Moon,” re-
Authentic Indian cuisine
in a quiet, elegant setting
Customized Catering Available
leased in 2011. The album features
six originals and six cover tunes, all
composed and arranged by him.
Born in New Jersey, Wong has
been living in West Windsor for
close to 16 years. His mother, Lilian Tsang, works at Princeton University, and his father, Bill Wong,
works at Princeton Financial Systems. His sister Molly is 11. His
mother “studied piano when she
was little and still occasionally
plays,” says Wong.
“I know a lot of people whose
parents are very skeptical about careers in music, but my parents are
not like that at all,” says Wong.
“They fully support the work that I
do now, and my desire to apply to
music school.”
At High School South, Wong
plays violin in the orchestra and
runs cross country and track and
field. As a touring artist, Wong performs throughout the tri-state area,
and Pennsylvania. He has been invited to perform at Communiversity in Princeton, Art All Night in
Trenton, and has played concerts at
venues such as the Blue Note Jazz
Club in New York City, the Dobbs
in Philadelphia, the Saint in Asbury
Park, and the Record Collector
Store in Bordentown. Wong has
shared the stage with Earl Klugh,
Bryan Rason, Sarah Donner, and
Avi Wisnia.
Wong was invited to the Grammy Foundation’s Grammy Camp
in Los Angeles, California, in 2012.
He studied engineering for audio
and video career track.

“Since this is my CD release
show, I’m trying to make it unique
and different from my usual solo
shows, and one way I’m doing that
is by having guest artists and musicians jam with me,” says Wong.
“I’m trying to keep my special
guests a secret until the show, but I
will tell you that the music that
these guests will bring to the show
include contemporary jazz, pop,
and rock — on top of my usual fingerstyle guitar music.”

John Maurer, the artistic director of MPO, considers the show to
be the most complex production in
the company’s nine-year history.
As master puppeteer, he has created 16 hand-crafted puppets — including a 24-foot dragon. The
show features 35 actors, more than
60 fairytale costumes, and scores
of props.
“There are a lot of great songs
and signature moments from the
movie, but I especially love how
the world of Duloc is fully realized
with so many memorable characters,” says director Laurie Gougher. “There’s something in this show
for everyone and adults will enjoy
themselves as much as children.”

A WW-P NEWS ADVERTISING FEATURE
Travel Talk with Caryn and Aron: Summer Travel Trends
T
here are many trends in
travel for the summer and
here are the top 7 trends.
1. More families are discovering the value of cruising.
Several cruise lines, including
Royal Caribbean and Norwegian
Cruise lines, have great deals
available to families right now,
such as third and fourth passengers free. There are a myriad
of fun and interesting activities
aboard for every member of the
family, and the exotic destinations provide an ever-changing
backdrop for each adventure.
Cruise lines are also including
extra amenities depending on
your cabin category, such as a
free bottle of wine, dinner for two
at a specialty restaurant, and
youth beverage packages. As
an American Express approved
agency, we can also offer special programs and extra value
offers, such as special excursions and tours. Did you know
that you can also purchase your
drink packages and make reservations for specialty restaurant
dining and shows on-line prior to
your trip?
2. Customizing your cabin.
Many ships have connecting cabins, but now on Royal
Caribbean International’s new
ships, Quantum of the Seas and
Anthem of the Seas, you can
connect multiple rooms together
for families.
In addition these ships and
others have virtual balconies.
These are inside cabins with
screens on the wall that reflect
the outside view. The ships also
offer Solo cabins, which are
ideal for families, since everyone can be included on the trip.
Some of these cabins have the
ability to be connected to make
a family suite. Norwegian cruise
lines also offers studio cabins
for singles with a lounge area
exclusively for studio guests.
3. private VIp areas. Some
travelers are demanding a more
customized and personalized
experience including butler service, private areas to avoid large
crowds or intimate options such
as private dining aboard cruise
ships. These exclusive amenities are perfect for grandparents
who are traveling with their
family, but also want to enjoy a
relaxed atmosphere as sophisticated travelers who expect a
certain level of service. Cruise
lines such as Norwegian Cruise
Line, which has The Haven,
Royal Caribbean International,
which offers private lounges for
their loyal past guests and MSC,
which features the Yacht Club
for VIP guests are all in high
demand.
4. Teens influencing the
itinerary: More and more, young
adults are influencing family
travel activities and destinations.
Cruises lines and resorts have
long catered to young children
with youth programs, kids’
meals, babysitting, and onboard
programs. But now cruise lines
are designing entertainment
especially for teens, such as
Royal Caribbean International’s
Scratch DJ Academy on the
Oasis of the Seas and iTake
Video Project on board Celebrity
Cruises.
5. “paNKs”; professional
aunts with No Kids: According to a research study “PANKs”
are influencing travel trends, as
they spend millions of dollars
each year to travel with their
nieces and nephews to exciting
places. PANKs are interested
in domestic travel, particularly
Disney resorts and Hawaii, as
well as Europe, especially the
UK. These highly valued family
members are willing do whatever it takes to get quality time
with their loved ones.
6. Baby-moons: As more and
more couples are waiting until
later in life to start a family, many
of them appreciate couples
trips when they are trying to
conceive or just found out they
are expecting. This is a growing

of Electronic Displays” will be
presented by Benjamin Gross, a
research fellow with the Center
for Contemporary History and
Policy, Chemical Heritage Foundation, in Philadelphia.
“The proliferation of flat-panel
displays at the start of the 21st
century depended upon important
breakthroughs in material science, many of which occurred at
the Princeton research laboratories of the Radio Corporation of
America (RCA),” from the abstract. “This talk explores the
chemistry of electronic displays,
from the phosphors used in the
first TV picture tubes to the liquid
crystals and light-emitting diodes
found in televisions, laptops and
smartphones, as well as the RCA
chemists and engineers responsible for incorporating those materials into commercial products.”
Weintraub, who has lived in
West Windsor since 1989, has
worked as a scientist at American
Cyanamid, FMC, and other companies in the area. He is married
to Barbara Ameer, a consultant of
medical affairs and clinical pharmacology.
“I have been involved in science education outreach for students with Princeton Section of
the American Chemical Society
for many years,” he says. “I’m
transitioning into a career in education, starting with an adjunct
faculty appointment in community colleges.”

THE NEWS
MAY 30, 2014
uring the first few decades that we
lived in the Grovers Mill section of
West Windsor practically everyone
we knew had a pet of some kind, usually a
dog or a cat, but also some others — including some that were quite exotic. We arrived
with our half-boxer named Otto. As were all
the other animals in the neighborhood, he
was allowed to roam around outside freely.
There was so little traffic then (a few cars a
day on Cranbury Road) that there was very
little danger to pets that weren’t tied up. Otto
stuck close to home, anyway, so we didn’t
worry about his safety. He usually wanted to
be inside.
Over the years since then, we have had
several other dogs, a number of cats, and the
usual collection of small critters like gerbils,
hamsters, mice, and even two ducks (Max
and Pippin) — in their own backyard pen
complete with house. (We still have the
house, 40 years later, with their names on it.)
One of the most unusual pets we learned
about made itself known by the noise it made.
A few times every day we heard a strange,
very loud, shrieking sound coming from the
direction of Millstone Road about a quartermile away. We had never heard the sound
before but knew it was some animal, probably a pet of some kind. (We dismissed the
idea that it might be a Martian in distress, still
hanging around the neighborhood after its
1938 Halloween misadventure of two decades before.)
As it was, it turned out to be a peacock. A
peacock? Yes. A peacock’s cry is amazing
mainly because of its intensity and harshness. You look at a beautiful peacock and you
wonder, “How can this bird make such a terrible piercing noise?” Of course we got used

them. But that’s what they did, and Abbot Sunday morning, I decided to go over to the
lab where I worked to catch up on a project
— it was only a mile from my house, so I
could do that when I felt like it. When I
opened the lab door, I saw a small wormylooking thing on the floor just inside. I almost stepped on it.
My first thought was that it was a large
earthworm. But since it was December I
didn’t think that could be possible because
the ground was pretty well frozen by then. I
looked closer and realized that it was a tiny
snake, with scales, a mouth, and eyes. Then I
remembered back to my Boy Scout merit
badge in Reptile Study. It had to be a DeKay’s
Brown Snake, one of the smallest snakes in
North America. This one was only about six
inches long. Well, here it was in the nice
warm lab, in West Windsor of all places.
Since I didn’t have the heart to put it out in
the cold — and my lab project could wait a
while — I took it home in a paper bag and put
it in a dry fish tank we had once used for turtles. I added some dirt and vegetation from
some of our house plants and made a cover
out of wire mesh. We named it Herman. Then
it was a matter of finding a place for the tank
where it would be out of reach of our cats.
I also had to figure out what to feed it. It
wasn’t interested in ant eggs or turtle food. I
found that by digging deep in the garden I
could get down to thawed ground where
there were live earthworms. And, believe it
or not, Herman actually ate them. We also
gave him water, but I don’t remember ever
seeing him drink any. Unfortunately, one day
after a couple of months we found the tank on
its side, and Herman was nowhere to be seen.
At least one of our cats had a guilty look on
its face. But it was an unusual pet adventure
while it lasted. Pets are where you find them.
