omato Patch, a visual and performing arts program based at Mercer
Community College’s K elsey Theater, has been offering a program in fine
arts, theater, dance, music, and video for
40 years. The longest running summer
arts program in central New Jersey, Tomato Patch has enabled more than 6,500
junior and senior high school students to
explore the arts. Students major in theater,
dance, vocal music, video, or visual arts
and choose electives of children’s theater,
jazz dance, musical theater, comedy, a
cappella singing, and more.
While kids attend Tomato Patch for
various reasons, it is often to feed an interest in theater and performance. The program has also been known to create the
self-confidence needed for public speaking. Many former campers have gone on to
make the theater part of their professional
world. The actors could not do their job if
it were not for people behind the scenes.
Daniel Hoyos, who now makes his living in theater management, caught the
theater bug in seventh grade when he took
drama class as an elective at what is now
known as West Windsor-Plainsboro’s
Community Middle School. “It sounded
like fun,” he says. “Since there weren’t

etween the release of the WW-P
School District’s demographic study
and the announcement that the Howard Hughes Corp. plans to develop — or possibly redevelop — the 660-acre American
Cyanamid site, the handwriting is on the wall:
More families with school-age children are
likely to move into the district, including
some at the Ellsworth retail site, part of which
has been dormant for years and the subject of
some criticism.
The Hughes development turns out to be
one of several potential new developments
looming in West Windsor’s future that were
not considered in the district’s demographic
study. That study, presented to the School
Board at its January 29 meeting, considered
the scheduled developments at Princeton Terrace on Clarksville Road, which will contain
460 housing units when completed; the Princeton Research Lands off Rabbit Hill Road

behind K indercare, which can support an additional 16 single-family homes; and the proposed Transit Village at the Princeton Junction train station. In all the study estimated
that school enrollment could grow by about
373 students in the next decade, to a total of
10,170.
But there is plenty of additional land in
West Windsor that can be developed; and
some developers have already begun planning projects. In response to a request by
West Windsor mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh, Sam
Surtees, Township land use manager and zoning officer, reviewed the school’s demographic study and noted that it did not factor
in four potential residential projects now in
the “pre-planning” stages.
Surtees’ review projected the possibility of
168 additional students, and that does not include any that might be generated by a redevelopment of the Cyanamid site as a mixed

part of President Obama’s State of

citizenship and all that. I could see
why it could be confusing. Go to a
Broadway show, concert, almost
any venue, and you’re going to find
everyone in pretty much the same

Only in the United States Congress
will you find such a 180-degree

grim, almost seething anger.
The rigid bipartisanship that has

virtually paralyzed this nation on
so many fronts was painfully and
vividly on display in Washington
D.C. Again. No wonder we have
lost so much trust in our elected officials. Why can’t they all just get
along, especially when they are
supposed to be working for the
greater good and not for their own
selfish agenda?
One of the most patently ridiculous shots was captured in response
to the president’s description of a
timetable for the end of the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. This, to
me, is a no-brainer. Bring home
thousands of American troops so
they can be home with their loved
ones? Stop spending millions of
dollars on arms and ammunitions
that kill and mutilate people including infants and the elderly? Let
nations and people of the world determine their own governments
and decide their own destinies?
Duh. And yet, while Democrats
stood up, cheered, and applauded
wildly, as if they were in a sports
stadium watching their team win
the World Series, many in the audience, Republicans, presumably,
acted as if they were at a funeral.
Stoic and grim-faced, they looked
as if the president was deliberately
out to kill their hopes and dreams.

is too much of each to be healthy

that looms and kills these schemes

M
uch has been said and written
in the last two weeks about
West Windsor Mayor Hsueh’s proposed ethnic-themed park in Princeton Junction. Let me set the record
straight. I believe that public parks
— on public land — should not be
“themed” toward any particular
ethnicity. It is simply bad public
policy, in my view, and there are
reasons why it is not widely done.
People of all races in the U.S.
should peacefully coexist and not
I was so outraged by the threat
that I called the power company to
tell them exactly what I thought
about it. It is never my intention to
kill the messenger but in this case,
my ire spilled over to the poor person who happened to answer the
phone that morning. Phrases that I
have heard others use but that I
never would have thought would
spill out of my mouth simply did —
how dare you threaten me like this,
what is wrong with you people,
where is your compassion, what
would you do if I really couldn’t
pay this bill. By accident or design
— I am hoping the former — the
phone suddenly cut out, and I was
shouting to empty air.
Because the December bill was
now lumped in with January, I
owed the power company more
than a thousand dollars. Not a small
ding in the bank account. I went online and paid the bill, grateful that I
could do so, even while wondering
how I would still have to shift some
stuff around, and wondering how
desperate I would feel if I couldn’t
pay.
There is something wrong with a
country that spends millions on extravaganzas like the Grammys and
the Super Bowl, with their oversexualized, over-commercialized,
and hyper self-indulgent displays,
while hard-working Americans
struggle to eat and stay warm.
There were other elements of the
State of the Union speech that I
liked, especially the news that Apple will move toward “in-sourcing”
— bringing thousands of jobs back
home to American soil with the
manufacture of products in the
good old US of A. This is an idea
that is so eminently sensible, other
American companies should take
note and copy it. We need more
jobs and more common sense economics.
We also need everyone to support and applaud the common
good, whether Republican or Democrat, because as Americans we
will rise or sink together. That’s a
lesson in civics that any 14-yearold can appreciate and a lesson in
compassion that people of all ages
can understand.

feel as though any other ethnicity is
getting some special treatment.
Mayor Hsueh has said repeatedly that this park will be funded with
private donations. If he truly
thought this park was good public
policy, why would he feel the need
to go that route? Also, his repeated
statements about not using taxpayer money to build/maintain this
Asian-themed park do not sync
with his recent 2013 Capital Budget submission to Town Council
that clearly shows a $300,000 capital budget expense for this park. He
says one thing and does something
else.
In short, I fully support a “pocket park” at this location. However, I
believe that if it is going to be
“themed,” it should be for our military veterans who have fought —
and died — for our country in Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11 and
for whom we owe our collective
American freedoms, including our
freedom of speech.
Bryan Maher
West Windsor Town Council
Tempest ( or Blarney)
In a Pocket Park
O
nly in West Windsor can 1.5
acres of open space create
such controversy! Mayor Hsueh’s
plan to create an Asian-themed cultural garden with bridges, gazebos,
and pagodas might have seemed
like a good idea, but it has stirred up
a hornet’s nest not only among residents but also between Council
members. Let’s all take a deep
breath. No one who lives here and
loves this town should be criticized
simply because they may object to
having an ethnically themed park
on public property.
Our town is a melting pot — and
is thriving because of it. Personally,
I am thankful that our town benefits
from a heavily Asian influence that
emphasizes traditional values such
family, education, and self-improvement. There is no need to
dedicate a park to it, however. In
our striving to make a good life for
our families and ensure that our
children acquire the skills, knowledge, and sense of personal responsibility they will need to get along
in life, we all have adopted Asian
values in one way or another. But
we also have attributes from European, Middle Eastern, Central
Asian, Latin American, and a host
of other cultures in this town equally deserving of recognition.
Though I had mild reservations
about imbuing the park with an ethnic theme, I really take exception
with the way the plan was created.
As is typical of this mayor, the concept was sprung upon the community as a fait accompli, without input from the residents or the Town
Council. I will acknowledge that
Mayor Hsueh backtracked a bit following a burst of protest. But there
is no sign that he will seriously consider any other plan than the one he
unilaterally came up with.
I would, however, like to suggest an alternative. Instead of dedicating the pocket park to a race or
ethnic culture, I think we should
dedicate those 1.5 acres to the
brave men and women who have
served this country and given their
lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.
THEY are the heroes who make it
possible for the rest of us to carry
on with our lives —
and argue
about trivial things like a pocket
park.
Finally, the mayor says that the
park will be paid for completely
with private funds. This is not true.
As I understand it, $300,000 for the
Princeton Junction Park Development (aka the pocket park) has
been set aside in the capital budget.
I, as a taxpayer, would be much
more willing to foot the bill for a
Veteran’s Park than for a “cultural
garden” of any ethnic persuasion.
However, if the mayor insists on
There is no sign that
Mayor Hsueh will seriously consider any other plan f or the park

building what he wants with my
money, I would hope that he would
indulge me and put into the park
something from my Irish ancestry
— a replica of the Blarney Stone.
He is, after all, full of blarney for
promising that this would not cost
the town a single penny.
Ji m Solloway
West Windsor
Asian Park - Why?
T
he plans to build a “pocket
park” next to the new 7-Eleven
in West Windsor have come to the
forefront recently in the public’s attention. After having attended the
informational meeting, it seems to
me that this 1.5-acre park will not
only require a considerable amount
to build ($200-$300K estimated),
but will also require significant
funds for indefinite upkeep and
maintenance.
The plans that were presented at
the meeting were all based on hypothetical donations, as our mayor
claims that no tax dollars have or
will be used to fund this park. Not
only has the mayor already spent
tax dollars for the landscape architect to draw up the plans and do the
research, but I am sure that nobody
really believes that such a park will
never need taxpayer support. The
only donations received to date
have been in the form of trees and
landscaping materials.
What is difficult to understand is
the reason this park was designated
an Asian park, and who made that
decision. At the last council meeting Councilman Bryan Maher expressed his opinion that it would be
better to build a park that honors
the ethnic diversity of all Americans, rather than honoring only one
specific ethnic group. He was immediately accused by some as “racist,” but I believe his critics, in their
rush to judgment, completely
missed the point and meaning of
his statement.
Do not all of us who hold American citizenship, consider ourselves
to be Americans, first and foremost, regardless of the nationality
of our ancestors? And if Mr. Maher
is being called a racist for expressing his opinion as an American,
then what can be said about a mayor who is pandering to the 40 percent Asian population in West
Windsor for their votes? Is this not
also a form of racism?
My suggestion is that West
Windsor build a Veteran’s park,
like so many other towns across
this country, to honor those of any
and all ethnic backgrounds, who
have served, fought, and died to
preserve our great American melting pot.

THE NEWS
Forget Park, Finish
O ther Proj ects
M
uch has been made about the
“pocket park,” which has
progressed far beyond the design
stage. Despite multiple presentations, the financial details remain
murky and incomplete.
Why not join me in a community
effort to restore “The Oasis,” the
hidden jewel at the Princeton Junction Train Station, which would be
enjoyed by commuters and cultivated by schoolchildren as an important ecosystem? The current
mayor has had 20 years to do something to make it happen.
This story isn’t about Councilman Maher or the frustration we as
taxpayers feel with profligate
spending. Mr. Maher seems to be
the only one on the dais who is
looking out for the taxpayer by
raising legitimate questions about
unbridled spending. Financial details are almost always missing,
including the proposed 2013 municipal budget.
The story is lost when the media
fails to detail the complete story.
Remember, the litigation-happy
township government leadership
sued to stop the property owners
from constructing a 7-Eleven.
From my observations, it seems the
pocket park is 75 percent constructed without any detailed funding, maintenance plans, neighborhood notifications, or approvals.
The township and county, for 30
years, failed to coordinate the removal this past summer of the barrier on Route 571 between Alexander Road and Clarksville Road.

litical bonfire for which the Hsueh
Administration is famous, why
cannot we finish several projects
already underway, and left in limbo?
To wit:
Should not the township focus
on lowering its outrageous property taxes? The main street of Princeton Junction cannot seem to coordinate its sidewalks and streetlights.
Several years ago, a Councilwoman opined that burying utilities along Route 571 in the business
district was “too expensive” yet
there has been no plan to restore
taxpayer funds of over $1,000,000
on a transit village debacle. Township beautification is a noble effort
but short on accomplishment.
Following Tropical Storm Irene,
promises were made to Penns Neck
residents to address the flooding
from Little Bear Brook using free,
builder-provided funds. I guess the
mayor’s neighborhood doesn’t
flood so there is no sense of urgency.
Despite presiding over the cover-up of the Grover Homestead in
which a taxpayer-owned 170-yearold farmhouse was ransacked, the
shift is to . . . a pocket park? Our
priorities seem major league misguided.
There is currently a four-step
process in West Windsor: (1) headlines; (2) absolve responsibility
when errors or problems arise; (3)
move on to the next photo op; (4)
blame all problems on just-resigned business administrator.
The area behind the Ellsworth
Center has been a graffiti ghetto for
20 years; the new Alexander Road
rotary, built with $27 million of
free money, is obsolete and crumbling; and the Howard Hughes/
General Growth/former Cyanamid
property used to contribute $2 million in quality ratables with professional jobs but is now a prospective
site for more housing, just what
West Windsor doesn’t need.
I encourage you, the reader, to
come out to express your opinions
— both pro and con — about how
your government spends your tax
dollars. Freedom is not free.

Recognition” month. Governor
Christie made proclamation for all
the school board members in New
Jersey. At the WW-P Board of Education meeting on January 29, Superintendent Victoria K niewel presented the proclamation to each
board member. I congratulate WWP board members and hope to join
them this year.
WW-P school board members
volunteered countless hours to the
oversight of district’s operations,
including finances, policy, curriculum, staffing, and facilities. As the
policymaking body, the board endeavors to meet the challenges facing the district and help students
attain the education necessary to
excel in college and in the workplace and enable them to compete
in a global economy. Currently, the
board and administration are working very hard on school safety, the
most urgent issue facing the district.
The WW-P board has nine members, five from West Windsor and
four from Plainsboro. Each town-
ship elects its own members. I’m
running for a Plainsboro open seat
this year. In local newspapers I
have discussed the school safety issue, pros and cons of school elections in November, and my experience on the Chinese school board.
I’ll listen to the residents and communicate back. More than 100 people expressed their support for my
campaign. I also appreciate the advice from state senator Linda
Greenstein, assemblyman Daniel
Benson, West Windsor mayor

encourage Plainsboro residents to
vote for me and give me a chance to

North Student Is
20 13 Miss St. Patrick
A
lison Burns, a senior at
High School North, was
crowned 2013 Miss St. Patrick on January 13 at the Ancient
Order of Hibernians.
Burns, who began studying Irish
Dancing at the DeNogla School of
Irish Dance when she was seven
years old, has often danced in the
Trenton St. Patrick Day parades.
She learned about the scholarship
program through her experiences
with Irish dancing and became determined to become Miss St. Patrick. This was her first time entering the contest.
The contest is open to New Jersey residents who are single and
never-married women of American
citizenship and Irish ancestry between 17 and 21. They must attend
a Mercer County school or college,
have a parent, grandparent, or a
sponsor belonging to a Mercer
County Irish organization, or they
must be a member in good standing
in a Mercer County Irish organization. Eligible organizations include
the Ancient Order of Hibernians,
the Sons and Daughters of Erin, the
Friendly Sons & Daughters of St.
Patrick, the Emerald Society, the
Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians of Division, or the Original St.
Patrick’s Parade & Scholarship
Committee at Hamilton.
Burns had to submit an original
essay titled “My Irish Heritage and
Why It Is Important to Me” and a
letter of recommendation from a
community member. The Miss St.
Patrick contest is divided into four
categories that were evaluated separately by a panel of judges. The
categories include an achievement
as presented in the application, an
essay evaluation, a personal interview with the judges, and final selection process.
Burns’ achievements include
being involved in St. Paul’s Church
in Princeton as a teen leader of the
youth group, as well as being a
member of the Trenton Diocese
Youth Council. She received the St.
Timothy Award in 2009, presented
by Bishop O’Connell to young
men or women for outstanding
leadership and service to their
church and community.
In 2010 she received the Billy
Briggs scholarship and went to Donegal, Ireland, to attend the Gaeltacht to learn about the language,
culture, music, and sports of the
Irish homeland. She also is working toward EMT certification with
Twin “W” rescue squad.
Burns, who has been speaking
Mandarin Chinese since she was in
the fourth grade, is in the honors
class. She is planning to major in
Asian and international studies at a
Catholic university.
Park D ances Her
Way to Silver Award
L
isa Park, from Girl Scout troop
70216, organized two dances
dedicated to those with special
needs as part of her work to earn
her Girl Scout Silver Award. She
wanted to provide a safe environment where late teens to early
adults with special needs could socialize and have a fun experience.
A freshman at High School North,
she has been a Girl Scout for two
years.
“I wanted my project to revolve
around helping the special needs
community in some way,” she says.
“I was able to finalize the project
with the help of Girl Scout leader
K ate Henkel, who has a son with
special needs.” With the help of
Henkel and leaders May Rowland
and Minal Patel she held two successful events and earned the Girl
Scout Silver Award on December
2.
Park ran into some obstacles —
including a partner who dropped
out of the project and scheduling
difficulties with other agencies
having events for teens with special needs. Both the Christmas in
August and August Beach Bash
dances were held in August. Both
of them included a DJ, food, and
craft stations.
“After hearing all of the positive
feedback, I decided to continue
holding these dances for the next
couple of summers,” she says. The
dancing included group dances,
slow dancing, limbo, and more.
Craft activities included face painting, board games, and play dough.
“We made little messages to donate
to American troops, colorful sand
containers that we also donated,
and Christmas ornaments,” she
says.
At North, Park was a member of
the freshman field hockey team. “I
was awarded MVP, which was very
exciting for me,” she says. She is
also active in the tutoring society
and yearbook committee. Park attends an art school.

Robotics
T
he WW-P FIRST Robotics
Team 1923, known as the MidK night Inventors, is getting ready
for competition. This year’s event,
“Ultimate Ascent,” is a takeoff of
the sport of ultimate Frisbee. “This
year’s game is very challenging,”
says Abhishektha Boppana, a senior at South and co-captain of the
team. “We have only six weeks to
design, build, and test a 120 pound
robot that can load and fire Frisbees
at a number of targets.”
The team is building this year’s
robot in a space next to H& R Block
in Plainsboro Plaza. “We are open
to the public throughout the six
week building season,” says Sarah
Slemmon, a junior at North and cocaptain of the team. “FIRST Robotics actually uses the robot as a
really cool tool to build self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills
while motivating young people to
pursue opportunities in science,
technology, math, and engineering.
By giving build site tours and letting visitors build robots using
Legos, we hope to build excitement
over STEM education in West
Windsor and Plainsboro.”
The robot, Ro-Bart, was named
in memory of the late D r. Bart K amen of West Windsor. K amen,
who died in September, was a longtime volunteer with FIRST Robotics and served as an adult mentor
with the MidK night Inventors
since their inception in 2005. K amen’s brother, D ean K amen, is the
inventor of the Segway and the
founder of FIRST Robotics.
The team includes more than 90
students from high schools North
and South. They are assisted by
volunteer adult mentors including
programmers, scientists, engineers, and business professionals
from area companies including
SRI International, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

work to inspire girls’ interests in
the STEM fields from an early
age,” said Patty Fagin, head of
school at Stuart. “The girls on our
robotics team were ecstatic that
NRG was willing to help them
through this sponsorship.”
Funding from NRG helps to offset costs and supplement the budget for the robotics team. The funds
were used to purchase additional
parts for the robot, making it more
efficient. A portion of the grant will
also be used to help pay for the
team’s transportation costs for
competitions.

“FIRST Robotics is an exciting, multinational competition that teams professionals from the community and
young people together to
solve an engineering design
problem in an intense and
competitive way,” says Michael Stevens, a volunteer
adult mentor in his eighth
year with Team 1923. “Support from the school district,
along with donations from local
companies, organizations, and individuals make it possible for us to
build a competitive robot.”
O pen House: The West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North
and South team kicks off the competition season, “Ultimate Ascent,” with a demonstration of its
120-pound robot to designed to
throw Frisbees and climb a tower
on Thursday, February 21, from
5:30 to 8 p.m. at 10 Schalks Crossing Road in Plainsboro. Studentled tours will focus on animation,
programming, STEM education,
community outreach, and CAD design. Teams are given six weeks to
design, build, and test their robots
before each competition. The
team’s first regional competition
will be held Saturday and Sunday,
March 2 and 3, at Hatboro-Horsham High School in Pennsylvania.

Real Estate Insights with Donna Reilly
A
Housing Activity on Positive Trend
s home sales continue to
rise through many parts
of the country, it’s interesting to note that home prices
in many areas are also continuing to rise, due to lower levels of inventory. This observation was noted by the National
Association of REALTORS®
(NAR), even in the aftermath of
last fall’s Hurricane Sandy.
“ Home sales continue to
trend up and most October
transactions were completed
by the time the storm hit, but
the growing demand with limited inventory is pressuring
home prices in much of the
country,” observed Lawrence
Yun, NAR Chief Economist.
Continued low interest rates
are also contributing to the increased activity in the market,
but NAR President Gary Thomas said the record low rates
shouldn’t be taken for granted.
“ Even with rising home prices, we’ll continue to see favorable housing affordability conditions over the coming year,
but they won’t last forever,”
Thomas said.
“ Inflationary pressures are
expected to build during the
next two years. As a result,
mortgage interest rates will also rise with inflation. Buyers
who are currently held back by
tight mortgage credit standards
should work to improve their
credit scores so they’ll be able
to qualify for a mortgage while
conditions are still favorable.”
With stringent mortgage underwriting standards, Thomas
added that it’s very important to
understand credit issues and
how credit scores work. “ REALTORS® are a good source
to learn about lenders with
more reasonable terms and
ways to increase your likelihood of obtaining safe and
sound financing.”

aking Black History By Developing Leaders to Create
the Beloved Community,” a leadership training program, has been
launched by Reverend Cornell A.
E dmonds of West Windsor. He is
passionate about developing leadership and creating a community
through transformative leadership
development in our faith communities. Edmonds led a retreat for
the Featherbed Lane Presbyterian
Church in the Bronx titled “Write
the Vision — Leadership in the
Life Cycle” on January 26.
“The life cycle model and diagnostics, developed by George Bullard, were used at the retreat to help
the congregation and its leaders
confidently self assess its current
situation,” says Edmonds. “We examined vision, inclusion, programs,
and management, with a focus on
vision. The training guided the participants in determining where they
are and where they want to be with
an eye towards developing a plan to
get their congregation to move to
where they want it to be and preparing its leadership for success.”
Edmonds holds degrees from
Cornell University, New York Law
School, and Princeton Theological
Seminary. He served with the Presbytery of New York City from 2004
to 2012. Prior to entering the ministry Edmonds practiced law in New
York and New Jersey. He has
served as staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society, an adjunct professor at Nassau Community College,
and a chief of staff for a New York
State Legislator. Edmonds served
in the New York State Guard attaining the rank of major and received
decorations including the New
York State Commendation Medal.
Before entering the seminary,
Edmonds was active at the Riverdale Presbyterian Church, where
he served as an elder and clerk. He
served on many boards and committees and was instrumental in the
privatization of the New York Metropolitan Martin Luther K ing Center for Non-violence. He received a
master’s of divinity in 2000. The
Presbytery of New York City called
him into service shortly after September 11, 2001.

Tomato Patch
too many boys in the class, I got to
participate in a lot of the exercises,
scenes, and games. I was having so
much fun doing skits, scenes, and
playing theater games in school, I
thought, ‘Why not do this over the
summer, too? ’”
He attended Tomato Patch for
one year and returned as a junior
counselor the following summer.
“It helped me to build a knowledge
base about the performing arts,”
says Hoyos. “I read, sang, and
danced all the basics. I read Shakespeare and tried to figure out what
it meant. I learned to do a box step.
I looked at sheet music and tried to
figure out what all those lines and
circles meant. It was great exposure to a complex world.”
He remembers the improv class,
and the final performances. “One
year we did Rudyard K ipling stories and another year we did a children’s adaptation of ‘The Tempest,’” he says. “I remember doing
a big Broadway medley with songs
from lots of Broadway musical including ‘A Chorus Line,’ ‘God-
13
spell,’ ‘Annie,’ and ‘Gigi.’ Of
course I didn’t know any of those
shows back then.”
“Tomato Patch helped me to
make friends with common interests,” says Hoyos. “I also met people from other schools in the area,
so I had friends all over the place.
We would go to each other’s shows
to be supportive of each other.”
Hoyos also attended McCarter
Theater’s Summer Shakespeare
program where he was in a performance of “Much Ado About Nothing.” He studied musical theater at
Carnegie Mellon the summer before his senior year of high school.
He was also in a performance of
“Our Town” at Princeton Summer
Theater.

“I wanted to be in every play and
musical in high school, and so I was
involved in everything I could handle,” Hoyos says. He was on stage
in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,”
“The Madness of George III,” “Arsenic and Old Lace,” “Hay Fever,”
“Godspell,” “Pippin,” “Damn Yankees,” “West Side Story,” and four
years of Senior One Acts.
After graduating from WW-P
High School in 1999, he headed to
Harvard University, where he studied psychology and graduated with
honors. “I loved college and took
many English, drama, and literature classes as electives.”
He also spent a lot of time working in theater when he was not
studying. He was in “Sweet Chari-
ty” and “Cabaret” at Harvard and
produced shows for friends. Hoyos
also was involved with CityStep, a
program in which he taught hiphop dance in Cambridge elementary schools.
His stage experience at Tomato
Patch helped him work behind the
scenes in his career path. “Broadway is a small community, but everyone shares the background of
growing up being fascinated by it,”
says Hoyos. “I understand my
work better because I understand
the people in my industry and what
makes them tick. I can relate to
them, so I can help them backstage
when they need help.”
He was very involved in the
Hasty Pudding Theatrical, the old-
est college theater troupe in America, from his sophomore to senior
years. “In addition to performing in
their student-written musicals, I
also worked on the business staff
handling advertising and alumni
relations,” says Hoyos. “Our shows
ran in Cambridge for more than a
month, and traveled to New York
and Bermuda. I have great memories from those days.”
After graduating from Harvard
in 2003, Hoyos moved to New York
City to work in theater production.
“After working for a theater production office and for Actor’s Equity, the union for actors and stage
managers, I decided to work in
company management,” he says.
“As a company manager I handle
the payroll and production office
work for a Broadway show —
someone has to pay the bills.”
Hoyos has toured the U.S. and
Canada with “Les Miserables” and
“Disney’s High School Musical.”

Center Theater (on “South Pacific”
among many other shows), The
Public Theater, and the Signature
Theater Company. He is now working on a new musical called “Hands
on a Hardbody,” which opens on
Broadway in March.
“Tomato Patch, along with the
other arts programs that I participated in, helped me to be unafraid
in front of other people,” says
Hoyos. “It really helped me in
school with speaking in front of the
class or nowadays when I’m in
front of a group of employees. I’ve
tried to keep that confidence up —
it’s easier now than it was when I
stepped on the stage for the first

Born in Princeton, with the
name of Jaclyn, she moved to West
Windsor when she was four. “My
parents thought that when I was old
enough to have a nickname, nobody would remember Jackie Robinson, the baseball player,” says
Robinson. Her parents, Colleen
and Frank own Cruise One, a
home-based travel agency. (The
News, January 10, 2003)
At Community Middle School,
she was in the performing arts program. She was a fairy in Like 40’s
“Midsummer Night’s Dream” and
played the role of Tintinabula, one
of the courtesans from the house of
Lycus, in “A Funny thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.”
She was the assistant stage manager for Like 40’s “One Flew Over
the Cuckoo’s Nest,” also at K elsey.
Robinson took advantage of every opportunity to work in theater.
She often helped to build sets or
usher. At High School South she
participated in Pirate Players all
four years. “I started out acting in
them and then co-wrote and directed some of new plays about tolerance,” she says.
At High School South she took a
sports medicine class and worked
as a student athletic trainer, but
clearly her heart was set on theater
— not sports. She applied to only
one college — Philadelphia’s University of the Arts.
She graduated from University of
the Arts with a bachelor’s degree in
applied theater arts with a concentration in stage management. She was
soon hired as a stage manager for
“Reefer Madness. “It landed me my
Actors Equity card, making me a
union stage manager,” she says. “I
have since stage managed various
Equity shows including ‘Trenton
Lights,’ ‘Pippin,’ and ‘Red.’
Living in Philadelphia, she
coaches at Leaps-N-Bounders
gymnastics when she is not working on a show.
“Tomato patch is a great introduction to theater; it teaches many
skills through games, activities,
and skits to help children become
comfortable onstage and even in
life,” says Robinson. “Tomato
Patch actually really helped me out
of my shell and I have used these
skills in my theatrical career.”

Power Pitching
& Hitting
A former pro, Bill
Bethea finds teaching
better than playing
B
ill Bethea, a former professional baseball player,
college baseball coach,
and major league scout, has
logged more than 22,000 hours
over 10 years teaching baseball to youth players.
But to Bethea the most important hour of all is the next
one, when he might be helping
your child hone his skills on the
baseball diamond at Bethea’s
Power Hitting & Pitching Baseball Camp. That’s because
Bethea has discovered that
teaching the game and watching young players develop their
skills (90 of his former students
have played in college and many others have had offers to) is
Bill Bethea
just as exciting as playing the
game.
“ Growing up I had a dream to
play in the major leagues. I got
to the minor leagues. That was
a dream in itself,” says Bethea.
“ When that finished I realized
that I wanted to impact as many
baseball players as possible to
help them realize their dreams.
For the last 10 years, I have
been living a dream. I have the
chance to teach a game I love
to players of all ages. To me
this is the ultimate dream —
better than any game I ever
played in.”

and Summer Premier Camps,
which holds full-day and halfday camps throughout the
summer, along with a spring

break camp April 9 through 12
and a “ back-to-school” camp
the week before Labor Day, will
feature live games every day
overseen by a staff that includes Bethea; Dan Intili, a former college player; Matt Cleary,
a former college player and hitting coach for Middlesex County College; and Anthony Barski,
also a former college player,
certified teacher, and former
high school baseball coach.
The camp, which works with
ages 5 to professional levels, is
held at Community Park and
the West Windsor Little League
indoor facility.
“ Our knowledge of different
techniques gives us the ability
to connect with all students, regardless of age, skill level, or
personality,” says Bethea. We
work with what they do well and
improve their weaknesses over
time. We are not a ‘ one size fits
all’ baseball academy.”
The overriding tone of the
Power Pitching & Hitting camp
is set by Bethea and his continuing enthusiasm. “ After playing professionally I continued to
play on an Elite Tournament
team that traveled the country
and won many tournaments, including the 2005 NABA World
Championship Series,” says
Bethea. “ We played against Triple A and Major League players
in that tournament. My passion
for the game has never subsided.”

Princeton National
Rowing Association
Spend Your Summer
on the Water
T
ake off those cleats, hang
up the lacrosse sticks, get
off the couch, and get out
on the water this summer to
row. Thanks to the Princeton
National Rowing Association,
no experience is required. Your
seventh through twelfth grader
can come out for any of three
one-week novice sessions this
summer. By the end of the
week, they’ll be out on the water and have competed in their
first race.
While many kids may play
soccer, lacrosse or baseball,
few have ever had the opportunity to try rowing. The novice
rowing camp starts out with basic lessons on rowing technique and safety. Over the
course of the week, campers
move from rowing machines, to
testing the water, to finally rowing in unison in an eight-person
boat.
The camp is designed to give
young people an idea of not only how the sport works but also
an idea of what it is like to train
daily on a high school rowing
team. With rowing being
among the fastest-growing
NCAA sports, there are great
opportunities to row not only in
high school but continue in the
sport beyond high school.
PNRA’s Novice Rowing
Camp is about encouraging
people to get out there and do
something new and different.
Our goal is to try to expose
people to the sport so they
have a good idea if this is an
activity they want to pursue.
PNRA is well suited to introduce kids to the fundamentals
of rowing. It has offered its novice camp for beginning rowers
since 2003, and a number of
past campers have gone on to
success on their high school
and college rowing teams.
PNRA’s high school program,
the Mercer Junior Rowing Club,
boasts a track record of 74 percent of its student athletes going on to compete at the collegiate level. The camps are
staffed by Division I athletes
who have been through Mercer’s program as well as the
Mercer Junior Rowing Club’s
staff.
And when they’re not coaching beginner campers, PNRA
operates the Mercer Junior and
Master Rowing Clubs as well
as the U nited States Olympic
Training Site on Mercer Lake.
As the home of the U .S. national team, PNRA hosts many national and international rowing
events and serves as a support
structure to provide the best
possible training environment
for the U S national team.
First-time rowers should take
advantage of this opportunity to
try something new while prac-
ticing alongside
the best in the
country. Reserve a
space early! There
is a limit of 56
campers per session. Camps run
from 8 to 11 a.m.,
Monday through
Friday, June 17 to
21, July 8 to 12,
and July 29 - August 2. For registration or more information please

Princeton Violins, located in
Kingston, can provide you with
vast resources and guidance
regarding where to spend the
summer with your bowed instrument. We can help you find
a camp that best suits your musical goals. Whether you are
looking to play in a string quartet with advanced players or
want to introduce your child to
an instrument in a fun, low
pressure way, we can help you
choose the right camp.
While finding the right camp
for your needs is very important, being well prepared before you go is essential. Preparing your instrument for
camp in Colorado is going to be
different than preparing it for
camp in Florida. Princeton Violins is happy to assist you by
thoroughly inspecting your instrument, adjusting sound, and
ensuring your instrument has
the right protection for the climate of your chosen summer
camp.
Since many camps are located in areas that do not have local violin shops, we are available to assist you if you need
replacement strings or any other items while you are at camp.
At Princeton Violins, you will
get sound advice from a veteran of Summer Festivals and we
will make sure that you never
run out of sound while away
from home.
Please, visit our store to
browse our collection of instruments and have a chat about
your needs. We have a wide
range of string instruments
available for rent or purchase.
In addition, we stock all brands
of strings as well as accessories. Princeton Violins also offers additional services ranging
from simple repairs such as
bow repairs and on-site sound
adjustment to complex instrument restorations. We are happily to help you with all of your
string-musical needs in preparation for summer.

started life as the premises of the Princeton Chinese
School, an organization for
teaching the children of American residents the Chinese language, culture, and history.
Almost a decade ago, in response to parental demand,
Quakerbridge began offering
courses for enriching and accelerating the regular public
school curriculum. Quakerbridge provides supplementary
tutoring and teaching services,
including Option II courses for
which students receive credit
from their own school district.
Quakerbridge runs an academic summer camp. It employs only the finest award-winning teachers and professors
from the neighboring superior
school systems including Princeton, Montgomery, West Windsor-Plainsboro, and Lawrenceville.
Quakerbridge has a low student to teacher ratio (five to fif-
teen students per class) and
uses the same course materials and textbooks found in local
school district Honor courses. It
also offers test preparation services. Quakerbridge is also a
test center for the Test of English for Foreign Learners. Consequently, the dozens of computers installed for the test are
available for use by students at
the Learning Center.
Quakerbridge has a proven
record of success. Its students
attend some of the most comptetitive colleges and universities
in the U nited States.
This year Quakerbridge is offering both five and six week
courses: from June 26 through
July 30 or August 6. Students
who register by March 23 receive an Early Bird discount.
Quakerbridge hosts open

FEBRUARY 15, 2013
School Lockdown
Some of the officers heard possible
duck hunters in the woods, and I
wanted to give people as much information as possible to avoid hysteria. The District’s initial messages were vague. An ‘external threat’
can be anything from a possible
hunter to a shooter to a bomb, and I
thought that wording might make
parents panic. Since it appeared
from the reports that I was getting
that the individuals were likely
duck hunters, I wanted to put that
out there to calm people down, so
that they didn’t think the worst.”
Lt. Joseph Duffy of the Plainsboro Police Department sent out a
press release later that day, which
helped dispel much of the incorrect
information. During a follow-up
interview, he provided more details.
“On Tuesday, February 5, at
1:05 p.m. the Plainsboro police department received calls from two
different motorists. The first motorist was on Maple Avenue, and
reported seeing two people, one of
whom might have been carrying a
weapon, walking away from the
schools. A second motorist on Grover’s Mill Road also reported seeing such individuals. No law enforcement officers ever saw anyone fitting the description or anyone suspicious at all, on either the
roadways or the waterways, and
reports that the individuals were
confirmed to be duck hunters are
false.”
Duffy continued, “Due to the
proximity of these individuals to
area schools, we erred on the side
of caution, and within minutes had
both utilized the national incident
command system and set up a com-
mand post. Chief Guy Armour, myself, and other senior officers were
there, along with [ Deputy Superintendent] David Aderhold. We immediately set up a safety perimeter
and contacted West Windsor police. It was decided by the police
department to place High School
North, Community Middle School,
Millstone River School, the Montessori School, and Wyckoff
School on lockdown for precautionary reasons. Officers were
posted at all schools. The district
also placed High School South in
lockdown as a precaution.
“Town Center, which was further away from the area, was not
placed in lockdown, nor were the
other West Windsor schools. However, police officers were dispatched to all of the schools as a
precaution.”
To further complicate the day
Grover Middle School had to be
evacuated during this time because
of smoke and an unpleasant odor
caused by the installation of a new
furnace. The staff and students
went to Village School across the
street. “This had nothing to do with
the lockdown,” Duffy said.
D
uffy noted that the response to
the sighting of people with
weapons was different from the
typical school lockdown drills,
“because in those scenarios, the potential shooter is either inside the
school or on the school grounds.
These individuals were quite a distance away from any schools, so
our operation was more of a search
or a manhunt. Because of this, we
utilized the New Jersey State Police Aviation Unit, Plainsboro Fire
Department Marine Unit, and West
Windsor Police K -9 unit. We have
these at our disposal and decided to
use them as a precaution.”
Only High School South was
brought out of lockdown before
school dismissal, although police
remained at all district schools
throughout dismissal. Duffy explained that, “because we hadn’t
found the individuals, we did not
bring the Plainsboro schools out of
lockdown. To ensure students’
safety, we conducted a ‘controlled
release’ of the schools. Police officers handled dismissal, one school
at a time. We then continued the
search for the individuals for a
while longer, until we concluded
that they were no longer in the area.”
For all parties the false alarm,
while a major nuisance, was also
seen as an opportunity to evaluate
procedures. “In today’s post-Newtown environment, it is incumbent
upon school districts to take all
threats seriously,” the WW-P district said in a release. “Working
with our partners, the Plainsboro
Police and the West Windsor Police, WW-P followed the approved
crisis management plan. We will
continue to debrief the response to
the lockdown to continually improve our reactions to such potential threats.”
Duffy of Plainsboro was pleased
with how the police, the school
staff, and the students handled the
unplanned lockdown. “The school
staff and the students were great.
The Plainsboro PD was flooded
with calls, E-mails, and texts afterwards, all praising how the lockdown was handled and the efforts
of the police in keeping the schools
safe. And the staff was great —
people followed their training and
did exactly what they were supposed to do.
“It all hinges on the teachers.
Their level of leadership and how
they react dictates how the kids
will behave, and they set a great example. This shows that all of our
training with the schools is really
paying off.”
Added Garofalo: “The West
Windsor police were there to assist
and help out the Plainsboro police.
We sent officers to all of the West
Windsor schools as a precaution,
and had officers posted in the High
School South parking lots and at
every crosswalk near the school, as
a precaution. The Plainsboro police, our officers, the school staff
— everything was done perfectly,
according to our training.”
Duffy acknowledged that, in
hindsight, “there is one thing that
we could have done differently.
During dismissal we should have
allowed the kids who were being
picked up by parents to go first,
rather than the buses, because the
cars tended to block the buses in
and caused some delays. But people were patient, because they understood that safety comes before
convenience. As these things go, it
was a positive event because of everyone’s cooperation.”
Many students agreed, and one
South student wrote a letter to the
editor praising the handling of the
situation (see page 2). Other South
students, who did not want to be
named, were less positive, and offered some constructive criticism.
“For one thing, the lockdown announcement came during the time
between classes, so that everyone
was in the hallways and we couldn’t
hear the announcements. Teachers
were screaming as well, and many
were saying that they didn’t know
what to do.
“Most of us not in classrooms
were finally brought to the gym,
but the doors don’t lock, and no one
was quiet. Disruptive students
were brought out into the hallways
during the lockdown, and one class
actually took a test, with all of the
classroom lights on. K ids were
locked out of classrooms and had
to hide in the bathrooms, but the
doors don’t lock. Many people did
not take it seriously. This all needs
to be addressed before the next situation.”
Duffy did have one complaint.
“The individuals were never found.
I was hoping that they would have
called in to the station to identify
themselves and explain what had
happened, and to maybe say ‘I’m
sorry.’ But no one has called in, so
we still don’t know who they are.”
Rules f or Hunting
T
he second amendment may
give you the right to bear arms,
but state and municipal regulations
govern where a weapon can be
fired. Contrary to what some might
expect in a densely populated area
such as central New Jersey, the reported armed hunters close to
schools in the area may have been
totally within their rights.
The state has established the
concept of a safety zone, which defines how far a hunter must be from
residential property and buildings.
For firearms, the safety zone is 450
feet around a structure, whether occupied or not. For bow hunters, the
safety zone is generally 150 feet,
but remains at 450 feet in the case
of a school playground. Any portion of the school grounds (including fields used for sports), that
could be used for play or recreation, is considered a playground.
In addition, owners and residents of farms of at least five acres,
which have a gross farm income of
at least $500, and is tax assessed as

use property — “the big unknown,”
in Surtees’ words.
Surtees noted that various developers have been asking about the
Princeton Theological Seminary
property. “This area is currently
zoned for high-density residential
housing up to 10 units per acre. It
will be like Canal Pointe — there
may be up to 200 apartments, and
they do not have to be university
students. Anyone can live there.”
He estimates that the apartments
could yield 104 students.

of purchasing the Maneely property, 60 acres that sits off of Alexan-
Hunting Regulations
farmland, may hunt on their own
farms without needing approval
from the state.
Plainsboro follows the state law
and does not have its own municipal hunting ordinance.
West Windsor has a municipal
hunting ordinance, which is somewhat more stringent than the state
law. In West Windsor, it is illegal to
discharge a firearm, or even carry a
loaded weapon, including a bow or
a sling shot, within 450 feet of any
occupied building, including
homes and businesses, regardless
of whether anyone is actually in the
building; or religious institutions.
In addition, carrying or discharging
any loaded weapon within 1,000
feet of any school building, playground, or grounds; daycare centers; or any publicly owned park or
open space is prohibited.
Council President George Borek
said that “this ordinance is now 20
years old, and areas of town that
were once woods now have homes
on them. There have been complaints from residents about gun
shots close to their homes. I intend
to look into this issue and bring our
ordinance up to par with the developments that have occurred over
the past 20 years.”
der Road past Windsor Haven. This
property, if developed along with
the already-existing conforming
plan, can support up to 51 townhouses, 46 apartments over a retail
center, and up to 75 units for affordable housing, as well as 202 extended-stay suites. The zoning for
this development is already in
place.” The site could yield 52 students.
There is the potential for additional housing to be built at Ellsworth Center as well — theoretically housing units can be built
over the retail space there. In his
report to Hsueh, Surtees wrote that
“Township staff has met with Mr.
Ellsworth’s professional staff and I
would expect a development application to be filed with this office by
spring, 2013.”
Additional land could also be
developed, Surtees said. “The
Township owns 60 acres of land
between Princeton Terrace and the
Howard Hughes property. There
are no plans at this time to develop
this land, but it is there. There is
also the Thompson property, which
is an additional 65 acres. Under
current usage, this property is slated for another 200 single-family
homes. And there is a significant
amount of additional property that
can be developed.
Under the current zoning, an additional 200 single family homes
and several hundred apartments
can be built. Based on the recommendations set forth in the 2003
open space plan, the Township is
trying to buy some to preserve open
space, perhaps four parcels, but
right now it is land that might possibly be developed.”
“In addition, Princeton University owns 500 acres of land in West
Windsor. It is currently undeveloped but could be used for dormitories and other buildings if the university decides to develop the land.
There is also a significant amount
of open space along Clarksville
Road, between the municipal center and Meadow Road, which is
zoned for residential use, but it is
mostly wetlands, so only a couple
of houses at most can be built on
that land,” Surtees explained.
Another small parcel of land that
is available for development is
right on the Plainsboro border,
across from Millstone Pond. This
site was the former Castoro sandpit, where soil from neighboring
towns, corporations, and even
Princeton University had been illegally dumped for years.
Surtees confirmed that, “with
state Department of Environmental
Protection guidance, the owner is
cleaning up this site before selling
the land for development. This
property is only 1.75 acres and is
currently zoned for three to four
single family homes, or any other
permitted use such as a religious
institution or a daycare/child care
center.”
‘ Asian’ Park D ebate. West
Windsor’s proposal for a “pocket
park” next to the Valero station at
Route 571 and Alexander Road received glowing reviews at two
public presentations showcasing
the preliminary design —
with
some Asian-style elements. But it
got less glowing reviews at the
Township Council meeting on February 4.
The harshest brickbat was
thrown by Councilman Bryan Maher, who criticized the “Asianthemed” aspects of the park. “I
have a big problem with this park,
because it has an ethnic theme,”
said Maher, whose letter on the
subject appears on page 5. “It is on
public property, plus, think about
its location. It is between the
7-Eleven and PJ’s Pancake House.
This is an apple pie, all-American
part of town. This Asian theme is
over the top. Who is driving this,
anyway? ”
Council Vice President K ristina
Samonte reacted to Maher’s statements, saying that “I am offended
by the tone you have used when
talking about Asians. I am married
to an Asian-American who has
served this country and I am offended.”
Maher shot back: “You can be
offended, but I don’t want an ethnic
park.” The exchange subsided
when Council President George
Borek stated, “K ristina has a point,
Bryan.”
Several residents also commented on the proposed park. David
Siegel, who lives in Berrien City,
stated that, “I have been to both
pocket park presentations, as well
as this one. I haven’t found anyone
who finds it distasteful. I live very
close to the park, and it is not offensive to me. There has been no
time in the past that the Council has
gotten involved in the design of a
park and trying to raise conflict
over the supposed theme is very
unwise.”
Andy Bromberg, who also said
that he had attended all of the pocket park open meetings, added, “I
appreciate Linda Geevers’ comments that we need to move [ the
development of] the park along,
but I don’t like the perception of
anti-Asian sentiment from some
people on the Council.”
Andrew K ulley, a member and
trustee of Friends of West Windsor
Open Space (FOWWOS), explained that interested individuals
can make a tax-deductible donation to develop the pocket park.
“This is the same process we employed for the 9/11 memorial, and
it worked very well.” He added, “I
am not offended by an Asian theme.
Our town is 47 percent Asian, so
maybe this will help us get contributions for the park. But the most
important thing is to do something.
I hope the arguments over the
theme don’t derail the project.”
Added Mary Ann K iernan: “The
park is awesome. There is nothing
wrong with a Chinese theme, an Indian theme, or a pagoda. We don’t
need to have parking, sports fields,
or kids’ equipment here. I want a
neighborhood park where I can
read a book in the shade.” Other
residents expressing support for
the proposed park included Alison
Miller, Janet and Alan Lerner, and
Allen Marx.
Another resident, Jim Solloway,
noted that “I am not against the
pocket park, or its theme. I am just
worried that the $200,000 needed
to build the park won’t actually be
privately funded; that the Township will get involved [ financially] .
I think before we start with a concept, we need a budget.”
John Church said that, “I have an
Asian daughter-in-law, and two
Asian grandchildren. I do not think
my daughter-in-law would want
this park to have a specific theme.
However, I think the pocket park is
a great idea. I am not opposed to
having beautiful Asian flowering
trees, or plants,” Church added,
noting that his concern was with
the architectural aspects such as the
pagoda.
In response to the presentation
by Township landscape architect
Dan Dobromilsky, Linda Geevers
asked if the “Asian theme a done
deal, or can it be more of an ‘international theme? ’”
Dobromilsky explained that the
concept was developed “to move
the project along, and to encourage
people to donate time and money.
We are looking to start a garden
club here in town, and have a group
or groups of residents commit to
developing the park or portions of
the park. This design is a concept
only, and these plans are not set in
stone. We do recognize that we
may not raise all of the money we
need at once, and then the park will
have to be completed in stages.”
Grover Report Gets
Public D iscussion
T
he long-awaited Grover Farm
report, released by West Windsor Township Attorney Mike Herbert, answered some questions,
raised others, but did not immediately resolve the controversy.
Members of the Grover’s Homestead Restoration Committee,
which is seeking ways to restore
the 19th-century home on the prop-
New Ju ghandle?
T
he New Jersey Department of Transportation,
thwarted last fall in its attempt
to close the Route 1 jughandles at Washington Road and
Harrison Street in West Windsor, now is considering another approach. The new idea,
just presented to area officials,
essentially calls for consolidating the two jughandles into
a new one to be built between
Fisher Place and Harrison
Street.
The existing light at Fisher
Place would be eliminated
and moved to the new jughandle. Northbound motorists
seeking to enter Princeton
would drive past Washington
Road, use the new jughandle,
go a short distance south on
Route 1, and then turn right
into Washington Road.
The plan, not yet funded
and in the discussion stage
only, will be discussed with
Mayor Hsueh and members of
the group that opposed last
fall’s closings on Monday,
February 25, at 10 a.m. at the
West Windsor Municipal
Building.
erty, have been irked particularly at
the suggestion that three of their
members entered the Farmstead
“illegally” on May 15, 2012.
The report summarizes the history of Grover’s Farm, from its purchase under the township’s open
space program through the decision to tear down the residential
structure on the property after the
last of the Grover family stopped
using it to the Township’s investigation by Detective Mark Lee,
which was completed in December. The investigation was conducted in response to reports that
valuable artifacts had been removed from the property as the
township prepared for its demolition.
The investigative report, part of
the criminal investigation, will not
be released to the public. However,
Herbert agreed to issue a report on
the behalf of the Township. His report contains five findings:
1.) Restoration Technologies of
New Jersey, operating under an
oral agreement with the West
Windsor Historical Society, took
several items from the farm with
the Historical Society’s permission
for possible barter of antiques to be
used at Schenck House [ the 1740sera farmhouse that is part of historic site being preserved by the
township] . The items include 20
doors; 24 sets of window sash; the
main staircase; three mantels; 150
square feet of boards; and one basement window for “Mr. Grover.”
The value of these items was estimated at less than $10,000.
2.) Metal was taken from the
property by members of the public
who believed they had permission
to remove [ it] .... These members of
the public then sold the metal . . . It
is also likely that vandals removed
other metal items from the property.
3.) Actions at the property
should have been better documented and managed by Township Administration . . . Steps have been,
and must be taken to ensure that
proper records are maintained for
the treatment of this and other
[ Township] properties.
4.) The decision to demolish
Township properties should not be

workers who worked at G rover’s
F arm, and lived at the farm on and
off for several years during the
19 60s and 1970s
. She is now a colleague of W est W indsor resident
D avid Parris at the New Jersey
State Museum in Trenton. Parris
asked Sanders- Johnson to share
her memories of G rover F arm with
readers of the W W - P News.
H
ere are some details of my
grandparents’ involvement
with the farm owned by Mr.
Leroy Grover and their life in
Dutch Neck, NJ. My grandparents,
Amelia Beatrice and James Henry
Rose, first came up to New Jersey
in the late 1950s from Virginia as
migrant workers. After their first
year working for Mr. Grover, he
asked if they knew of anyone who
could provide 20 reliable hardworking farm workers for the upcoming season.
My grandfather, James Henry,
said, “Sure, we can.”
And the following season they
showed up with two truckloads of
farm workers from Virginia, North
Carolina, and South Carolina. The
workers were predominantly African-American, and a few were either Puerto Rican or Mexican. In
just one year my grandparents had
gone from being migrant workers
to becoming contractors of migrant
workers. My grandmother Beatrice
Rose provided meals, cigarets, and
a juke joint to dance in, while my
grandfather James Henry Rose
managed the workers.
Mr. Grover provided lodging for
the workers; a two-story house for
the single men; a small-two room
house for one couple, Joe and
Flossie Brooks; and a three-room
house for my grandparents. In the
1950s there were outhouses, but I
remembered my grandfather and
my uncles building a shower house
and communal bathroom made of
concrete and corrugated metal.
One side was for men and the other
side was for women. Eventually
my grandparents added a bathroom
to the back of their three bedroom
house. All building materials were
provided by Mr. Grover. They also
built a white picket fence around
their house so that my younger sister and I and our cousins could play
in the yard.
When farming season slowed
my grandparents sold quality second-hand clothing such as Princess
Anne coats and cashmere sweaters
at the Englishtown Auction. This
continued for many years until they
eventually opened two stores, one
in Cheapside, Virginia, near Cape
Charles, Virginia; and another operated by my mother, their only
daughter, and her husband (Mary
and Melvin Sanders) in Parksley,
Virginia.
In addition, my grandmother
worked as a domestic in Princeton
for Mr. Bertram and Mrs. Corella
Bonner [ the Bonners were benefactors of the Bonner Foundation
that is now headquartered in Princeton] . My grandmother also had a
working yet close relationship with
another prominent family in West
Windsor, the Colemans. She
worked for them in their farm
house as a cook, and ran most of the
domestic chores including helping
to raise the two sons when they
were young. These two sons would
grow up to run several car dealerships in the Trenton, Hamilton, and
Lawrenceville area including
Coleman Pontiac.
My grandfather worked in construction, helping to complete Jadwin Gym of Princeton University
all the while living on the Grover
farm.
M
y grandparents personified
the American dream; they
worked hard, were willing to take
chances and always willing to help
anyone. My grandfather was a
great story teller, dreamer and a
practical joker; my grandmother
was the constant one who kept everything on course working cooperatively to make sure every plan
succeeded. We had wonderful
times with them.
I loved living at Grover’s Farm.
My father was from Oklahoma, so
we were used to rural living and
loved being on the farm. We would
smell the scent of the fresh strawberries in the early spring, and
know that it was soon time for the
baby pheasants to be born. We
would go through the farm looking
for the baby pheasants. We would
get up when my grandmother got
up, at 5 a.m., and do what my
grandmother did around the farm.
I was very nosy and curious, and
my grandmother would say that I
was the nosiest child she had ever

met. I was always asking people
where they were from, and how
they ended up here. I was interested
in their stories, so my grandparents
bought me a Princess typewriter
and I would type up little newspapers for the people on the farm.
And there were always lots of
books. We didn’t watch TV, but we
always read books. There was always a basket filled with books for
us. My grandfather and mother
were great storytellers, too, which
added to my interest in writing. Because of this, I ended up becoming
an English major at Douglass College (now part of Rutgers University) and became a teacher. I now
work in information technology at
the New Jersey State Museum in
Trenton.
We also had a lot of family
around us at Grover’s Farm. Eventually most of my grandmother’s
siblings moved into the area and
most of their children attended
Dutch Neck Elementary. My
grandparents lived on Grover’s
farm until the late 1970s when my
grandfather died. My grandmother
lived to see me graduate from Douglass College and on into the 21st
century; she passed away about
five years ago.

South’s Yonah Wins at County Level
by Samantha Sciarrotta
T
hough their team records
may state otherwise, individuals on the North and
South wrestling squads saw success in the Mercer County Championships on February 2 at Robbinsville High School. North’s Joe
Bryde and South’s Etai Yonah each
put up impressive showings at the
16-school meet, reaching the finals
in their respective weight classes.
Bryde, who wrestles in the
106-pound weight class, was defeated, 18-8, in the finals by Steinert’s Brandon Cray, a number one
seed. Bryde, a junior, is 13-5 on the
year. North’s Vinny Porreca also
had a strong finish, coming in fifth
place in the 170-pound weight
class.
Yonah won the 113-pound
weight class final, defeating Nottingham’s Joshua Magee, 16-9, in
the title match. Yonah, now a senior, was a gymnast before he was
recruited to the wrestling team as a
freshman. He had a breakout junior
year, making it all the way to the
Mercer County semifinals where
he was stopped just short of the
championship.
Yonah has been an asset for the
6-12 Pirates all season. He is 18-0,
having yet to lose a match. He
should have the chance to continue
that streak in the district tournament on February 22.

At the February 4 Council meeting the Grover’s Farm report came
under criticism from both elected
officials and members of the restoration committee who wished that
the entire report could be made
public, not just the attorney’s summary.
Council president Borek noted
that “we were shocked that the
Mercer County prosecutor’s office
said we cannot release the report.
We have to abide by this. Letters
were sent to the state Attorney
General. If you want the report to
be released, send more letters and

I did the best I could with what I
had.”
Former Grover Farm resident
Ted Grover said he disagreed with
the report’s statement that the farm
is not historically significant. “It
was built in the 1800s, and was a
pick-your-own farm. Literally
thousands of school kids have visited Grover Farm,” he said. (See
page 29 for other recollections of
the farm’s history.)
He also noted that there were
some errors in the Herbert report:
“When my mother vacated the
house, it was still habitable, and
she was never interviewed by Detective Lee. And the Grover family
was never notified that the town
was going to demolish the house.
We found out on our own.” Herbert
responded that he would look into
these issues and if there were factual errors, he would amend the report.
Herbert then asked Pete Weale, a
member of the restoration committee, when the business plan on potential uses for the farmstead would
be ready. Weale said that the group
could not give a specific date.
Borek advised Weale that “the
Council is about to start the budget
process. If the report is not presented to us soon, it will have to take a
back burner to the budget deliberations. That is our first priority in the
coming months.”
Improvements at Clarksville
and 571? Traffic issues at the intersection of Route 571 and Clarksville Road have long been of concern. Mercer County is again considering plans to reconfigure the
intersection, and is asking the
Township for its opinion on the issue of traffic congestion versus impact to the properties surrounding
the intersection. By unanimous

vote, the Council agreed to again
recommend a proposed concept
that was first outlined in a 2005
Township Planning Board study.
This concept would add some left
turn-only lanes and right hand-only
turn lanes to the intersection but
would not significantly impact the
homeowners on either side of the
intersection.
Township engineer Francis
Guzik gave a presentation regarding the county’s 2005 concept,
which envisions the following
changes:
1. Adding a lane on Route 571
heading towards Hightstown, so
that there would be a dedicated left
turn lane, a straight lane, and a
straight or right turn lane;
2. Adding a lane on Route 571,
heading towards Princeton, so
there would likewise be a dedicated left turn lane, a straight lane, and
a straight or right turn lane;
3. Adding a lane on Clarksville
Road, as well as a pedestrian island, so that there would be a dedicated left turn lane, a straight lane,
and a dedicated right turn lane; and
4. Adding a lane at the opposite
intersection on Grover’s Mill
Road, so that there would be a dedicated left turn lane, a straight lane,
and a straight or right turn lane.
“Some of the options that would
best reduce traffic,” Guzik said,
“would also require the use of a
significant portion of the lands adjacent to the two roadways; and the
county would have to acquire a significant amount of land from the
high school and Ron Rodgers arboretum properties.
“In order to maximize the traffic
reduction at the intersection,”
Guzik continued, “the redesign of
the roadways would require the use
of large portions of the homeowners’ lands on the other sides of
Clarksville Road.”
Guzik noted that “because the
residents were disinclined to give
up such large portions of their

property and have the roadways
that much closer to their homes, the
Township has limited options: to
exercise the principle of ‘eminent
domain’ or to agree with a modified traffic plan that would reduce
the congestion somewhat but not
completely.”
Bryan Maher expressed concern
that widening the roadways significantly at that intersection would
create another potential “Route 1”
through town. The other Council
members agreed and further expressed an unwillingness to exercise eminent domain over the
homeowners’ objections.
Guzik added that “this is a concept only; it is not a specific design.
The county will develop that. However, the Township has provided
them with input on what we would
like to see done at the intersection.”
Tax Reduction Ahead? The
next council meeting, Tuesday,
February 19, will mark the start of
the budget process. Already posted
on the township website are proposed budget numbers. Highlights
include:
1. Overall budget is below the
state-mandated 2 percent cap, and
is $7,000 lower than last year’s
budget. However, revenues decreased by $425,803 from 2012.
2. Total proposed expenditures
are $37,317,000. Total revenue is
$14,620,086. Total municipal tax
levy will be $22,689,914. The average tax increase is estimated to
be $36 for a home assessed at
$524,000.
3. Township salaries have been
increased by 1.76 percent, or
$221,236, from 2012, although no
new positions are funded. Other
expenses decreased by .92 percent,
or $228,236.
4. The capital expenditures portion of the budget totals $4,194,700,
which includes $610,000 of fully
funded projects; the remaining
$3,584,700 in projects will be
bonded.

be a tax savings of $16 per home.
In a letter to the WW-P News
(see page 4) regarding the introduction of the budget, John Church
wrote that “the state Department of
Community Affairs has given us
until March 15 of this year to complete the introduction/approval
process. We should take advantage
of that timeframe to consider
changes. I’m proposing that ‘introduction’ should be postponed until
the March 4 meeting, and that
Council schedule at least one informal discussion session before then
to allow the public time to give appropriate input.”
Holiday Schedule: The municipal offices will be closed Monday,
February 18, for President’s Day.

A Nature Preserve
For Bulk Farm
T
he Bulk Farm property, located
on Cranbury Neck Road, between Pollack Court and Grovers
Mill Road, will soon be home to
birds and other wildlife. Once a
farm and nursery, Bulk Farm was
purchased by Plainsboro Township
in 2006 in an effort to preserve the
73-acre site as open space. Now the
Township has entered into a partnership with the NJ Audubon Society and the US Fish and Wildlife
Service to turn the area into a wildlife habitat, focusing primarily on
migratory birds. At its meeting on
Wednesday, February 13, the
Township Committee voted unanimously to enter into this partnership, bringing this project one step
closer to reality.
“This partnership will allow us
to both preserve open space and
best utilize the natural resources
there,” Township Administrator
Robert Sheehan said. “We will start
by clearing away the shrubs and
weeds, using moderate pesticides
to rid the area of invasive pests, and
planting native grasses and other
plants. We will develop the property as a nesting place for birds, so
that people can bird-watch there. It
will be open to the public. Then the
Audubon Society will start holding
public educational programs there,
similar to the Plainsboro Preserve.”

THE NEWS
FEBRUARY 15, 2013
E ast Meet West in Piano Perf ormance
I
nternationally renowned pianist
and educator Chiu-Ling Lin of
West Windsor will perform at
Steinway Society’s February musicale at Jacobs Music, 2540 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville, on Sunday, February 17, at 3 p.m. The
performance will include pieces by
Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, Chopin, Astor Piazolla, and K apustin’s
Preludes in Jazz Style. A social
hour with a buffet of refreshments
and conversation with the artist
will follow the performance. Tickets are $18.
Lin has performed in Peru, Argentina, and Brazil as an artistic
ambassador for the United States
Information Agency. Her appearances in New York, Boston, Chicago, England, Canada, and
throughout the Far East have featured her unique mix of music by
Chinese and Western composers.
Her virtuosity is showcased in the
CD “Portraits of China.”
The oldest of three children, Lin
was born in Taiwan and raised in
Singapore. “I always appreciated
music,” she told the News in a 2011
interview. “We lived in a duplex
and a piano teacher lived in the
other part. I saw students going in
happy and coming out happier.”
She requested piano lessons when
she was only four years old but her
parents asked her to wait six
months.
“My parents always knew the
quality of education and paved my
educational path with quality

teachers,” she says. “It was a financial sacrifice for them and I am forever grateful. “ She came to the
United States to go to college when
she was 17 and stayed.
Lin received her bachelor’s degree from the New England Conservatory of Music and her master’s and doctoral degrees from Indiana University. She made her
Carnegie Weill Recital Hall debut
as the winner of the East and West
Young Artist Auditions.
She is now a retired college professor from Case Western Reserve
University. “With my sister in New
Jersey and my brother in Connecticut, I knew I wanted to live on the
East Coast,” says Lin, who moved
to West Windsor in 2005.
“I’ve been teaching for more
than 35 years and consider my students as my children,” she says. “I
call myself a piano player, not a
classical musician.” Lin is the immediate past president of the New
Jersey Music Teachers Association, and the representative of the
Associated Board of the Royal
Schools of Music for New Jersey,
Delaware, and Pennsylvania.
She has also soloed with 14 or-

Lin taught her sister, Chiu-Tze
Lin, how to play the piano when

duo piano for a long time. “It’s a

you can read each other’s minds,”
she says. “We have a long history

Lin donated a grand piano to the

For WW’s O ’Brien, the Wonder of the Space Age E ndures
S
By J eannette Q uinton
cientists say that when we
gaze up at the stars we are actually looking at the past. But
when Frank O’Brien of West Windsor looks at the sky he sees the future. O’Brien, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, will give a lecture at the Roebling Museum on
Monday, February 25, discussing,
among many topics, the possibility
of life on Mars.
Though that may seem like a farfetched vision, O’Brien notes that
when he was a toddler the idea of
landing a man on the moon seemed
like a dream. “I am a child of the
Space Age,” O’Brien says. “I grew
up with it, and it permeated all the
media. I watched John Glenn fly
when I was in second grade. It was
a magical time — there was nothing we couldn’t do.”
He grew up in the early 1960s
and by then traveling to the moon
was one step away. O’Brien recalls
that the space age was an incredible
and bold epoch when the Apollo
lunar missions were a national goal
and technology converged to accomplish something that had previously only been a vision.
Three passions circled O’Brien’s
education and formative years:
space exploration, aviation, and
computers. And all three came together when O’Brien began sifting
through the Apollo Lunar Mission
flight journals. How did young
O’Brien get his hands on such data?
“A dear friend of the family and
flying buddy of my father, John
O’Neill, left the Air Force to join
NASA. Hearing his stories about
what he and NASA were doing was
simply utterly amazing to me,”
O’Brien says. When he was 13, he
received a huge box for Christmas,
full of all the technical manuals for
Apollo. “When all the other kids
were sneaking Playboys, I was
reading about guidance systems.
What a geek I had already become
and it’s been downhill ever since,”
he says.
O’Brien’s father was a career
fighter pilot with the Air Force for
more than 20 years. “I think Dad
said we moved 19 times in 22 years.
We moved all over the country and
Canada, from the desert of Southern California to the Arctic Circle,”
he says. The oldest of seven kids,

O’Brien describes his mother in
heroic terms: “Military wives are
the strongest breed there is and my
mom was a classic.”
He studied engineering at Rutgers and eventually found a love
and calling for computer science.
O’Brien says he worked at the Hill
Center on Busch Campus during
school. “Mostly to earn beer money,” he says, but at the time there
were only three large computers in
the basement of the buildings. As a
student, he sat around for hours in
the basement waiting for processing to be completed — as a result it
was a very communal environment
for students. “We spent time swapping experiences and learning together. These were the days when
‘hacker’ didn’t have the evil connotations that it does today. It was a
huge badge of honor. Competition
was fierce, if only for who could
come up with the cleverest hack.
Between school and work, I don’t
think I saw the sun for my last two
years at school,” he says.
While O’Brien was at Rutgers
from 1974 to 1979, manned spaceflight was in a hiatus, similar to today. “There was a terrible recession
in the aerospace industry, and the
idea of working for NASA didn’t
have the appeal it had in the 1960s,”
he says. “As a result, that wasn’t
my focus. Designing computers
was on a huge upswing, and I wanted to grab that one by its tail. A
computer? On your desk? What a
concept! So, spaceflight moved to
the background of my plans.”
In 1981 he started his 32-year

career with Colgate Palmolive,
where he currently works as a database administrator. He and his
wife, Stacey, and stepson, Jeremy,
have lived in the Windsor Ponds
community for 11 years. West
Windsor, he notes, is a fertile area
for education, as well as family values and culture. “I’ve lived in other
areas where the exact opposite is
true, and it’s quite sad,” he says.
O
’Brien’s formal involvement
with the space history society
began with joining the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal community in
1995 as a contributing editor. From
this background, he wrote a highly
regarded book on the Apollo Guidance Computer and is writing a second book on the Apollo spacecraft.
So in his “spare time” he writes an
engineering review of the space
craft itself.
O’Brien’s talk at the Roebling
Museum, “Roving on Mars: The
Journey of Curiosity,” will describe
the mission background, science
objectives, and the challenges of
landing a car-sized rover on Mars.
“Mars, very possibly was as full
of life as the Earth was billions of
years ago — very primitive, but life
nonetheless,” O’Brien explains.
“Mars had an atmosphere, lots of
water, and many of the ingredients
needed to make the ‘pre-biotic
soup.’ The rovers were designed to
follow the water, as this is the basis
for life as we know it. And they
found ancient traces of water in
abundance. So conditions on Mars
were far more favorable for life as
we know it years ago, but the climate and environment changed.”
Could life still exist? “It’s hard
to imagine life getting a foothold
now, given the low temperatures,
almost no organics in the soil, a thin
atmosphere, and lots of radiation.
But, perhaps life could have
evolved there to survive it? That’s
really tough to say and honestly, we
need to go there to find out.”
To O’Brien NASA plays an important role. He explains that an
abundance of products and processes in various industries were
forced to be created to meet the
challenges of many space projects.
And many are now “the way the
world does business.” He explains
that “NASA didn’t invent the mi-
crochip, but they forced manufacturers to learn how to do it and
make them incredibly reliable. And
everyone has benefitted from those
experiences.”

D riving Crash
R
ohit Maddineni, 26, of Plainsboro was sentenced on Monday, February 11, to three years in
state prison for his role in a drunk
driving crash last year that killed
his friend, Pavan Gottumkala.
Sentencing guidelines call for a
six-year sentence for vehicular homicide, but the judge took into account pleas for leniency from Gottumkala’s family, who live in India
and did not want to see Maddineni
punished.
Maddineni, a citizen of India,
could face deportation. According
to Assistant Middlesex County
Prosecutor Christopher K uberiet,
his office is likely to appeal the sentence.
