he West Windsor Township
Land Use Division has received two site plan applications. Artis Senior Living has filed
an application to build a two-story
memory care facility on the
3.37-acre site at 861 Alexander
Road. The architect is Dennis
Smith.
The property is the former home
of the Princeton Polychrome Press
and is under contract to be purchased from Greg Olsen. The Artis
application will go before the Site
Plan Review Advisory Broad
(SPRAB) on Monday, November
24.
The second application currently being vetted is the development
plan for the 40-plus acre Maneely
tract on Old Bear Brook Road. The
architect is Barton Partners, based
in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The application is tentatively
scheduled to go before SPRAB on
Monday, December 8. At the May
7 planning board meeting, Toll
Brothers, the site’s developers,
presented a site plan that would include more than 150 corporate
suites, 51 townhouses, and roughly
20,000 square feet of retail space
with 40 apartments above. The current application also includes plans
for a corporate suites hotel.
Ellsworth Update. The proposed redevelopment of the Ellsworth Center at the corner of Cranbury and Princeton-Hightstown
roads is slowly progressing. Owner
Shawn Ellsworth has received
building permits for internal and
external renovations to the E-1

To The Editor:

David Bachner Field
T
o the members of the West
Windsor-Plainsboro
Regional School District Board
of Education:
Thank you for voting 6 to 3 in
favor of naming the North varsity
baseball diamond the David J.
Bachner Field (see story, page 1).
Your attention to the process was
commendable. I appreciate how
you enabled the community to
communicate their thoughts on
this matter.
If I could offer one suggestion to
your process I would ask that you
should publish the number of emails that you received to both the
forum E-mail address and to the
school board address. I believe
there was a significant number of
E-mails sent. You provided the
public with the numbers of people
that attended the forum and which
were in favor and which were not.
I believe that for full equal public
disclosure the number of E-mails
sent and their disposition towards
the naming request should also
have been provided to the public.
Not providing that information
doesn’t fully describe the number
of people that were invested in this
naming proposal.
To those of the board that spoke
before the vote. I appreciate your
comments and your candor. Hearing your thoughts on this matter
provides valuable information to
the public on who you are and how
you may consider other matters before the board in the future.

Think Carefully on
Energy Aggregation

Municipal News
A
fter attending the joint information session held at Mercer
County Community College regarding the community energy aggregation program, the only thing
clear to me was that West Windsor
should not rush into the program
without
considerable
more
thoughtful discussion.
All other townships represented
at the meeting — Ewing, Hopewell,
and Lawrence, were in no hurry to
start the program. However, West
Windsor’s proposal has already
picked up not only the consulting
firm but also the co-operative that
we should purchase our energy
through. (See story, page 12).
Wouldn’t taxpayers’ interests be
better served by an open bidding
process not only for the consultant
but more importantly regarding
where we purchase our energy
from if we decide to follow that
path?

Fall has arrived and the West Windsor / Plainsboro housing
market remains strong. As a matter of fact, I am busier now
with potential buyers than I was in late Spring. Throughout the
year, normal buyer activity typically peaks in July and August as
buyers push to close before school begins. Since the Spring
market came late as a result of winter storms, many buyer have
pushed off buying a home to the fourth quarter. This is great news
if you are considering selling your home. It’s not too late to list in
2014 and close by the end of the year or early 2015. Right now
inventory is very low which increases demand for all listings. If
you are thinking about selling, call me for a personalized market
analysis. I look forward to helping you.

costs to administer the program
and costs for legal work to review
contracts. Given that budget pressure requires township employees
to do more work with fewer employees, the council should be very
careful taking on additional responsibility. Second, the taxpayers
and the township will pay the consultant fee indirectly through the
consolidator. This type of indirect
payment is bad governance.
Finally, I find it ironic that while
all townships are encouraging residents to “buy local” to help local
businesses, they themselves want
to go to Pennsylvania, New York,
or even Ohio to purchase their electrons.

Simple Solutions for
Cranbury Road
T
hank you for your paper’s continued terrific coverage of the
Cranbury Road sidewalk project,
including the September 12 letter
from 17 signatories identifying
themselves as “a group of Cranbury Road residents who have been
advocating for sidewalks.”
I write to heartily support their
practical, affordable, simple good
sense: “a meandering sidewalk ...
with a small buffer to the roadway,”
though I would double that by suggesting a sidewalk on both sides of
the road.
I attended almost all of the meetings on the project and am an avid
cyclist and runner. I was stunned,
as was most of the audience, at the
options evaluated by the consultants at the August 13 public meeting. These leaned heavily towards
bike lanes, which, though nice, are
bigger and have grading issues and
are tricky to fit in those tight spaces.
Many in the audience spoke up
at the meeting: “What about a simple sidewalk with a buffer?” The
simple, practical solution so obvious to the “Cranbury Road residents” would, I think appeal to
most who regularly walk, bike, and
drive on that road. No matter what
the self-described professionals
might dream of building, how
about we just put in a nice sidewalk
that the people who actually live
there want? On both sides.

Krug is the mother of
one of my granddaughter’s
closest friends, and I have known
her for more than seven years. I interact with her often through carpooling, babysitting, and sharing
family meals, and I can easily see
that she is caring, kind, and truly
devoted to raising her children and
teaching them to be responsible,
respectful, and intellectually curious.
As a former teacher, the mother
of three teachers, and the grandmother of two WW-P students, I
am very interested in and supportive of Ms. Krug’s approach to education. Ms. Krug has articulated
her views in a thoughtful, intelligent platform, which is dedicated
to providing the best possible education for every child. I am very
confident that her ideas will serve
our students well.
Ms. Krug has been a strong contributor and an integral member of
our Board of Education, and I encourage you to give her your vote
so she can continue her valuable
work for the benefit of our students
and the community.

Questions for Krug
U
Director. Her communication
skills are exemplary. She listens
and advises with the utmost respect. She has additional interaction with many different recreation
organizations in the community
and often shares insights from
these experiences with the commission. Dana is a valuable contributor to the Recreation Commission’s work.
During the time Dana has served
as liaison to the commission, I also
have observed how deeply she cares
about the quality of education for all
students. Dana has three children attending district schools and understands the educational experiences
of students ranging from elementary school through high school. In
addition Dana has advocated fairly
and passionately for students, families, teachers, and administrators.
She also served on the negotiations
committee with the teachers’ union
for two separate contracts. She currently serves as the Board’s Finance
Committee chair and oversees the
district’s finances.

Suburban Mom
’ve written a lot of columns
over the years, but one of the
most meaningful to me was
published here 11 years ago, when
Will was four years old. The trigger
was these words out of the mouth
of my babe: “Mom, I’m really going to miss you when you die.” He
had just seen the Lion King and
was intrigued about the concept of
death, and had put himself into the
shoes, well, paws, of little Simba,
and what he would do if a beloved
parent, like Mufasa, was suddenly
out of his life.
As you know, I took a rare break
from this column to tend to family
matters with the death of my fatherin-law, William Francis Brossman
Sr., earlier this month. His was the
first major loss for our children,
and for Molly and Will, the first funeral they have ever experienced.
Will went from having no real experience with the death of a loved
one, to saying goodbye to Pop in an
open casket, serving as a pallbearer, and then giving his oak coffin
one last kiss goodbye as we headed
out of the cemetery. Very heavy
stuff for a 15 year old.
Pop was a member of what history calls “the greatest generation,”
all of those of that age who saw
combat in World War II, and cherished above all, the values of God,
country, and family. It is a generation made up of good people who
embodied hard work, honesty, and
grace, and we are lucky that our
kids had Pop as a role model for so
many years. I know Pop would
have been so proud as each of them

Mr. Cheng has three characteristics that I, as a teacher, admire in
public servants who are directly
involved in education:
1. As a product of the school district he aims to serve, he has a deep
and personal concern for the current and future students of the district.
2. As someone who actively listens to the community, he has a nuanced understanding of the various
faculty and staff interests and concerns extant in the school system.
3. Finally, he has a sharp, analytical mind, which helps him to
approach problem solving with an
unparalleled pragmatism.

I have spoken at length with Mr.
Cheng about his candidacy and am
pleased to report that he is well acquainted with the reality I face in
the classroom every day, namely
the struggle to provide high-quality
educational opportunities for students of all ability levels — to appropriately support learners who
struggle, learners who excel, and
all learners in between.
Mr. Cheng understands that the
school board must always act with
the realities of the classroom in
mind and its members must therefore work actively to stay in touch
with the development of those realities. In short, Mr. Cheng has his
priorities in order and offers a fresh,
unique perspective which is precisely what the West WindsorPlainsboro school board needs.

Editor’s Note: The writer was
born and raised in Plainsboro,
where his parents still live. He
by Euna Kwon Brossman
got up on the podium at church to
share their favorite memories, because I was so impressed by their
poise.
He was a fabulous grandfather,
generous with everything, but Pop
was also the ultimate suburban dad
to Bill and his brother and sister.
This is how Bill remembered his
father:
“Whatever adventure I pursued,
you helped me get there. It never
mattered how insanely impractical,
you just pushed me forward. I remember when I begged you to let
me buy a used car that needed a lot
of work. It was all I could afford

and it was in such bad shape that we
had to tow it back home. We spent
hours every night for one glorious
summer working on that green car
together. We took it apart and rebuilt it piece by piece. It’s a priceless memory for me. Then the following summer when I was looking for money to pay for a cross
country bike ride, you bought the
car back from me (for considerably
more than I paid for it) along with
my stereo and whatever other odd
notes: “I have been in regular contact with Isaac Cheng for several
years, which is why I am interested
in his candidacy.”
A Fresh Perspective
for the Board of Ed
M
y name is Isaac Cheng and I
am running for the Board of
Education in Plainsboro.
The Board consists of nine representatives, many of whom are
parents with children in the school
system. In full disclosure, I’m not
yet a parent, and it will be some
time before I have kids of my own.
When speaking with some people
about my candidacy, one person
asked: What outlook could I bring
to the Board, as someone without
any children in the schools?
Good question.
I believe that my personal and
professional background allows
me to bring a fresh perspective to
the Board of Education. I am a
WW-P alumnus (High Schol North,
Class of 2008), who returned to his
hometown to start a career, after
graduating from the University of
Chicago. This was initially a difficult decision for me, as I had the
opportunity to remain with friends
in Chicago, New York, or Washington DC. However, I missed my
family in Plainsboro and wanted to
give back to the community that
raised me.
After a few years back at home
and after becoming re-familiarized
with the issues facing our schools
today, I realized that I could be an
asset helping the district make decisions. My unique viewpoint adds
value to the Board in two major
ways.
First, my history as a WW-P
alumnus enables me to provide a
student-centric perspective to
Board discussions. Having been
through the school system from
assortment of possessions I could
lay my hands on. It was not your
best financial move, but you
showed how big your heart was.”
Bill observed that in a world too
full of hype and embellishment, his
father was a remarkable man who
did amazing and quietly heroic
things:
“You left to fight in Germany in
World War II when you were only
18. You served your country bravely and with honor. You saw many
horrible things as one of the soldiers who liberated some of the
worst concentration camps at the
end of the war.
“Pop taught all of us the values
that we hold sacred: to take responsibility for your actions, to be humble, to love deeply, to work hard, to
be grateful, to be kind to everyone
at all times and to stand up for the
weak.”
The true measure of a life well
lived is not the house one leaves behind, or the cars in his garage, or
the number of gold watches in his
drawer. The real legacy is in the
character and actions of those he
loved, because in them, he can truly
live forever. Will was named for his
father and grandfather, but his is
more than just a name to him; it is a
way of being, a way of conducting
himself in the world. As he foretold
when he was just four years old, he
is really going to miss Pop now that
he’s gone, but he knows that the
most important part of him will always be with him.
Wicoff to High School North, I
have experienced firsthand the
challenges that our students face.
As a former member of the student
council, I have worked with administrators and the Board on student
programs, and have seen the impact of policies that directly affect
student life. I have also experienced firsthand the quality of our
teachers and how decisions made
by the Board are ultimately reflected in the classroom. Most importantly, I have had ample time since
graduation to reflect on my experience, while still being young
enough for my experiences to remain relevant.
Second, my years as a professional management consultant enable me to help the Board make
thoughtful, evidence-driven decisions. When advising the senior
management of Fortune 500 corporations on how to shape strategy
and optimize resources, a fully
transparent and bulletproof analysis is paramount. When shaping the
vision and budget for the school
district, the families of Plainsboro
deserve no less. If elected, I will
bring the same rigor and transparency to the Board that I bring to my
clients on a daily basis. I will never
make decisions based on a personal
agenda and will always make sure
that my decisions are thoroughly
examined and beneficial for every
student.
If elected, I believe that my
background will provide a fresh
and valuable perspective for the
Board. I am committed to using the
education I received here, to help
the community continue to provide
the best possible education for our
students.
I ask for your support on November 4 and hope that together,
we can maintain the excellence of
our schools for the next generation.

lizabeth Johnson and Sruthi
Katakam recently completed
“Active Minds, Active Future,”
their Girl Scout Silver Award project. Both are West Windsor residents and freshmen at High School
South.
Their project focused on making
a stay in the hospital more productive. When they visited Katakam’s
mother, Poornima, a physical therapist at the University Medical
Center of Princeton at Plainsboro,
they noticed that most of the patients were in their rooms watching
television. “We aimed to change
this by providing a library and activities for the patients so that they
could not only shy away from television, but also keep themselves
mentally fit while they physically
recovered,” says Katakam.
The patients, most ages 60 plus,
are in the unit for two to three
weeks after a major surgery including knee or hip replacements, before returning home. “Studies have
shown that patients suffer the most
memory loss and cognitive decline
when they are in an environment
that does not stimulate their
brains,” says Katakam. “Our project was able to create an atmosphere where the patients are en-

couraged to read and perform easy
mental activities and crafts to keep
themselves busy and also interact
with other patients.”
“The first part of our project was
to create a library in the Acute Rehab,” says Johnson. “First, I conducted a straightforward survey
with the present residents of the
center to find out what genres of
books interested them, will make a
worthwhile usage of their time, and
will promote a healthy atmosphere
and hopefully healing and recuperation.”
The pair collected books through
donations, a flea market, and
neighborhood groups. After acquiring the needed books they created a catalog detailing the selection and allowed patients to check
out books. They shelved the books
in the cabinets and shelves provided by the acute rehab center.
“The final part of our project
was to create an activities department, and I held workshops for
various activities like crosswords,
card games, board games, and bingo for the patients,” says Katakam.
“We collected various supplies for
the workshops through donations
and allowed patients to come and
go as they pleased. We also created
a rolling cart so that patients who
are immobile can still enjoy the activities and books.”
“Overall, we have been able to
successfully create a fun environment for the patients,” says
Katakam. “The patients can go to
the library room, and pick an activity or a book to play or read. Otherwise, the patients can request for a
nurse to bring them an activity or
book to use in the comfort of their
own room.”
Katakam is a member of Troop
71731, and her leaders are Preeti
Bajaj and Poornima Katakam.
Johnson is a member of Troop

energy Healer: Sangita Patel is the author of
‘Embrace Your Inner
Self: Awaken Your Natural Ability to Heal.’
Her brother was killed, and she had
severe damage to her legs. She
dealt with numerous surgeries on
her legs and fought an arduous
mental battle for 18 years. She discovered Qigong, a healing method
to promote inner healing, in 2005,
and soon found herself feeling better than ever before.
“When we embrace our inner
child, we awaken our natural ability to heal physically, emotionally,
mentally, and spiritually. Many
people do not realize their own
power. I did not believe it for most
of my lifetime either, but once I had
experienced it, I felt like I was reborn again.
“In my first 40 years of this circle of life, I was often a victim, and
suffered pain and struggle to overcome obstacles. I had so much anger, frustration, and sadness inside
of me and toward the world,” says
Patel. “We are all blessed with the
natural ability to heal ourselves.”
The family moved to West
Windsor in 1993. Patel’s book is illustrated by her son, Nishan, author of “Sammy’s New Home” and
“Evelyn Sylvan & the Curse of the
Magical Tree Stump,” a 2005 graduate of High School South, and an
art teacher at High School South.
He received his bachelor’s and
master’s degrees in visual art from
Syracuse University.
Her husband, Kiran Patel,
owns several hotels in northern and
central New Jersey. Her daughter,
Pooja, also a graduate of High
School South, is a senior at Purdue
University majoring in mechanical
engineering.
In her book, Patel discusses the
many healing methods she has
grown to love and use daily. She
covers numerous healing modalities in each chapter, from harmonizing chakras, to connecting with
the inner self. She then follows
each chapter with a worksheet that
acts as a guide and progress tracker.
Patel will appear at the Wellness
Park Festival in Bloomfield on
Sunday, October 12; at an expo in
Woodcliff Lake on Saturday, October 18; monthly at West Windsor
Senior Center, for a three week
course at Mercer Community College, and at numerous booksignings.
A professional organizer with a
decorating business, she has had a
holistic practice since 2009. She is
certified in Integrated Energy
Therapy, Seraphic Wisdom, Spring
Forest Qigong, Emotional Freedom Technique, Global Association of Holistic Psychotherapy, and
Holistic Coaching. She is pursuing
a Ph.D in metaphysical sciences.
“Everyone is in need of some
kind of healing,” Patel says, “and
this book facilitates physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing
guidance — not only to oneself but
for others and our planet.”

fter a long-awaited presentation on
the plans for the former American
Cyanamid site adjacent to Quakerbridge Road, West Windsor residents were
quick to voice concerns about the Howard
Hughes Corporation’s plan to have the area
designated a redevelopment area.
The owners of the site, the Howard
Hughes Corporation, presented their general vision for developing the rundown
658-acre, 47-building property at the West
Windsor Council meeting September 22.
West Windsor residents expressed strong
concerns during the public comment period, among them the lack of details presented in light of a request for redevelopment
designation, and the effects a large mixeduse development would have on the school
district and area traffic.
Addressing the council and residents,
representatives from Hughes emphasized
their desire to jointly plan with the township
and the community. The company says that
this past year it has spoken with nearly 100
West Windsor residents and officials, as
well as with the school district and local
businesses.
“We are going to be a long term resident
in this community,” said executive vice
president John Simon, who added that the
company is three to four years away “from
opening a door.”
Simon estimated full development of the
property would take 20 to 25 years. Project
director Chuck McMahon, in a PowerPoint
presentation, broadly outlined how the site
would be developed. The company is seeking to depart from the site’s existing research-office-manufacturing

zoning designation, which only allows for
that one use. Howard Hughes presented a

WW Explores Energy Aggregation
by Vincent Xu
W
est Windsor, Ewing, Hopewell,
and Lawrence townships are jointly exploring government energy
aggregation, a program that could reduce
utility supply rates for residents and businesses through bulk purchases from thirdparty gas and electric suppliers.
Citizens, elected officials, and administrators from the four Mercer County townships
attended a public meeting on energy aggregation September 18 at the Mercer County
Community College Conference Center.
The meeting’s main speaker was Gary
Finger, ombudsman for the New Jersey
Board of Public Utilities (BPU), who explained the aggregation program and how it
relates to townships and their residents. Following the presentation, several residents
expressed concerns relating to the reliability
of third-party suppliers while others voiced
support for a greater renewable energy component in any aggregation deal.
“This [energy aggregation] program is
trying to provide a bidding opportunity to get
a better rate,” Finger said. The program’s
emphasis is on cost savings, and Finger was
careful to distinguish that from saving energy. Finger noted that energy aggregation
would only save money from the energy supply portion — the charge for the generation
and transmission of power — of a resident’s
energy bill. The distribution portion — based
on kilowatt hours used — would remain the
same.
While BPU regulates distribution companies, utility supply was deregulated in 1999.
Since then the supply of electricity has been
open to competition from third-party energy
suppliers that source their electricity and gas
from all over the nation. This means residents and businesses can elect to purchase
their energy supply from a third-party supplier that offers cheaper rates than the incum-
Howard Hughes
plan that includes mixed-used residential and retail development on
the parcel of land north of Clarksville Road, and community-usage
development such as schools, gardens, and parks on the southbound
side.
The company has identified the
process of a redevelopment plan to
redefine the property’s zoning uses
in order to pave the way for their
intended development. Under a redevelopment plan, which is equivalent to a master plan specifying
land-use, the township would be
bent utility — in this area PSE&G or JCP&L.
BPU licenses suppliers, but the agency does
not have regulatory authority over the prices
that suppliers charge customers.
The four townships are considering the
formation of a cooperative to increase the total amount of energy supply for purchase, a
scale-up that would increase negotiation
power and yield lower prices from the thirdparty supplier.
One township would take the lead in the
proposed cooperative. For a cooperative to
be realized, resolutions would need to be
passed by each township council. Additional
approval by the division of local government
services under the state’s department of community affairs is also required.
Under an energy aggregation program,
the local utility distributor would still service
accounts, read utility meters, deliver gas and
electric, and handle all emergencies.
A bulk power supply agreement would be
set at a rate that does not exceed the benchmark price, calculated based on the cost of
basic generation service and compliance
with renewable energy portfolio standards
for electricity, plus the rate for basic gas supply service. Renewable, “green” energy
components may be incorporated.
Under state law, if a township enters into a
supply agreement with a third-party supplier,
all residents will be automatically covered,
with the exception of residents already contracted with a third-party supplier. Residents
currently supplied by an alternative supplier
may opt in to the township agreement if they
opt out of their existing contract.
Townships are advised to hire a BPU-licensed energy consultant to assist in the process of finding an aggregation third-party
supplier for residents. Government aggregators must then advertise and solicit a request
for proposal from third-party suppliers.
Expenses incurred by arranging an energy
aggregation program, such as consultant fees
able to determine and redefine zoning uses, changes that could make
the large property more marketable. Subsequent redevelopment
projects would be land-use contracts between the township and
the developer that outlines what
will be built on the property, and
these projects must be consistent
with the redevelopment plan.
McMahon devoted the final portion of the presentation to the topic
of redevelopment and what that
would mean for the township. Referencing New Jersey’s redevelopment statute, the property needs to
meet only one of seven criteria to
qualify for designation as a redevelopment area. The Hughes prop-

and administrative costs, would be reimbursed by the contracted supplier as part of
the bid, so townships incur no “out-of-pocket” expenses, Finger said. If a consultant is
hired but no aggregation deal is reached, the
consultant will bear the cost of services rendered.
West Windsor officials in attendance included Mayor Shing-fu Hsueh, business administrator Marlena Schmid, and township
landscape architect Dan Dobromilsky, as
well as Council members Bryan Maher, Linda Geevers, and Peter Mendonez.
Multiple government officials expressed
concerns regarding how residents would respond to having their supplier switched as
part of an aggregation program. Finger emphasized the importance of public awareness
and reaching out into the community.
Concerns raised by residents related to the
reliability of third party suppliers and renewable energy. This past winter, New Jersey
residents who signed variable-rate contracts
with a third-party supplier saw their rates rise
sharply, according to press reports.
A resident asked where third party suppliers source their electricity, expressing concern for the potential cost of fossil fuel electricity to the environment and community.
Finger told her third-party suppliers “get
their energy from every source imaginable.”
A
t the West Windsor Council meeting on
Monday, September 22, a resolution to
authorize the administration to contract with
energy consultant Gabel Associates was tabled after several council members took issue with the contract’s term length. It is expected to be reintroduced before council as
soon as October 6, pending the necessary
changes.
The administration is seeking to procure
electric energy supplies for municipal facilities from third party suppliers and is seeking
the services of Gabel Associates, based in
Highland Park and licensed by the Board of
Public Utilities, to assist with an open bid
process.
erty meets four of the seven criteria. “Designation is an important
first step for a long term relationship with West Windsor,” McMahon said, who asked the council for
action regarding the designation
process by the end of the year.
According to Howard Hughes
representatives,
redevelopment
designation does not change the
underlying zoning and it would not
diminish the township’s rights to
control the future of the property.
Designation as a redevelopment
area would be the first step of the
redevelopment process. The second step would be the formulation
of a redevelopment plan, which
would involve approval by the
township planning board and the
council. The third step would be
the redevelopment project, in
which the township enters into
contracts with developers that detail what will be built.
As a redevelopment area, the
municipality has the ability to enter
into a contract with developers that
include payments in lieu of taxes
(PILOT). PILOTs are contractual
payments to the township and
county, not taxes. In other words
the Hughes property would be taxexempt and instead PILOT payments would go to the township to
pay for municipal services.
McMahon singled out PILOT as
a key redevelopment financial tool
that would shift the majority of the
tax revenue received from a proposed redevelopment directly to
the township. Last year, he said,
Howard Hughes paid $550,000 in
taxes, of which $88,000 went to the
township. In a redevelopment area
West Windsor township would receive 95 percent of PILOT payments, with a 5 percent share going
to Mercer County, much greater
than the 16 percent share the township currently receives.
After the presentation, Council
member George Borek told the
In addition to seeking cost savings for municipal buildings, township officials want to
show residents that procuring energy from a
third party supplier is beneficial.
Per industry standards involving contract
consultants and third party suppliers, hiring a
consultant results in no direct fees to the
township. The consultant fee is included in
the rate bid, and only when the township contracts with the third party supplier does the
supplier pay the consultant as part of its overall bid.
Speaking before the council, township
landscape architect Dan Dobromilsky explained that the consultant fee would be deducted from the township’s overall savings
through a reduced utility rate. For example, if
the township were set to save $20,000 in utility costs and the consultant’s fee were $2,000,
the township would still see $18,000 in savings. In other words, the township would still
see overall savings, depending on the exact
terms of the supplier bid.
“The fees they charge are minimal compared to savings of the energy aggregation,”
Dobromilsky said. “We investigated different consultants, and we decided [Gabel] is
the best choice. They are the most experienced energy consultant in the state.”
“We didn’t want to be locked into a contract with Gabel for a two-and-a-half-year
period of time. To the extent we are not happy with the bids, we want to be able to end the
contract with them,” Council President Bryan Maher said in an interview after the meeting. “We wanted to tighten up our ability to
get out of the consulting contract.”
Dobromilsky explained in an interview
that the term of the consultant contract should
match the term of any potential third-party
supplier contract, and contract time is one of
the possible terms of any bid.
The administration will change the contract term to the shortest possible time, six
months, rather than the longest. If a thirdparty supply bid is longer than the consultant
contract term, the contract would need to be
extended, Dobromilsky said.

“well aware of PILOTs” based on
his experience living and working
in Jersey City since childhood.
When called for comment after
the meeting, Borek explained PILOTs first originated in Jersey City
and they helped revitalize the city
waterfront that in the late 1970s
was barren land and desolate warehouses. However, Borek noted that
Jersey City’s waterfront improvement does not mean West Windsor
is in the same category.
“It’s really premature to have
discussions about PILOT until we
see what Howard Hughes is going
to truly put forth,” Borek said. “I

think PILOTs are tools for certain
types of developments. You can
structure PILOTs in many different
ways, but again there’s some downside. Schools don’t get a dime of
it.”
When called for comment
Wednesday morning, McMahon
said redevelopment plans are not
widely used in the area, though the
University Medical Center at
Plainsboro, which used PILOTs, is
a successful case study for the process of redevelopment. “If you
look into the history of redevelopment, it has been used successfully,
generally in urban areas, to incentivize private investment,” McMahon said. “It’s now up to council to
evaluate what we’ve told them. We
fully expect a response.”
Ten residents approached the
podium to speak during public
comment, with many expressing
concerns regarding redevelopment
designation and the consequences
additional residents would have on
the school district.
“It troubles me that Howard
Hughes is asking ‘first declare me a
redevelopment designation’” said
Alison Miller, a former township
council member, who emphasized
the presentation had “no specifics.”
Miller said the redevelopment designation is usually used “when a
township is desperately in need to
develop a site that is hurting the
town.”
Resident Debbie Hepler called
PILOT “a ruse.” “This sounds like
a total win for the developer and a
total loss to West Windsor.”
Resident Marshall Lerner also
questioned Howard Hughes’ request, citing the past failure of redevelopment.
Responding to citizen concerns,
township redevelopment attorney
Ed McManimon said PILOT would
produce more money for the township than what would have otherwise occurred.
“The question is what property
owners are paying for school and
county taxes,” McManimon said
when reached by phone. According
to McManimon, the net increase in
revenue to the township that would
go toward municipal services under PILOT payments in the redevelopment area would offset the
higher proportion of the school tax
bill that would be paid by the rest of
West Windsor.
Residents Veronica Mehno and
Virginia Manzari said they did not
like the prospect of additional children coming into the school district, saying an increase in size
would lower quality and increase
cost.
Twin W May Start Billing for Transport
R
by Vincent Xu
epresentatives of the Twin
W First Aid Squad appeared
before West Windsor Council on September 8 asking for a lifeline, and after subsequent discussions, indications are that the squad
will not shut down at year’s end.
Twin W is a nonprofit community service organization that has
been serving West Windsor Township since 1972. The squad currently has 20 active members, all
volunteers, who are on call at night.
Twin W also answers mutual aid
calls for the township’s daytime
EMTs and neighboring townships.
Speaking before the council on
September 8, Twin W members indicated the squad would cease operating by the end of the year due to
a negative budget and explained
what changes would be needed to
allow continued operation. Specifically, squad representatives requested permission to hire per diems for training and to bill for its
ambulance services.
In subsequent meetings with
West Windsor officials squad representatives have said the township
has indicated a willingness to allow
the volunteer organization to bill
for ambulance transports.
Twin W has decided that it will
not pursue hiring per diems. “We
now have another option which is
billing,” said Pat Tedesco, the
squad’s public information officer.
The option of billing would give
the squad much needed income to
train entry-level EMTs, which was
why Twin W initially also requested permission to hire per diems, at
$10 an hour, to run training scenarios as well as train squad staff in
real-life emergency situations.
“We were asking the township if
we can use the same per diem model the township Fire and Emergency Services uses for training,” Tedesco said.
West Windsor Fire and Emergency Services, a paid division of
the township’s public safety department, handles daytime EMT
duties and bills the insurance companies of those it transports. Patients without insurance are not
charged. Twin W answers calls
from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays
and from 5 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekends.
Squad president Jan Sun estimates the squad averages more
than one call per day. The low vol-

mayor Bob Murray, countered that
view. “Size doesn’t dictate quality,” he said, explaining that he
moved to West Windsor in 1971,
when the town’s population numbered 5,000. “It was a world-class
system then; it is a world-class system now with 25,000.”
Multiple residents also expressed concern over how residential and commercial properties
would generate more traffic in an
already congested area.
Responding to residents’ concerns, Simon, the executive at
Hughes, said development of the
site is in the town’s control and it
would allow the township to have a
lot more income. Simon also noted
the redevelopment area around the
Princeton Junction train station involved dozens of land owners,
whereas the Howard Hughes site
has a single owner that enables
“more collective action.”
With respect to schools, Simon
explained, the township could split
most of its revenue with the school
district, and the remaining revenue
would still exceed the current rev-
ume of emergency medical calls
makes it more difficult to train entry-level EMTs, she explains. This
in turn has led to difficulty in retaining newer volunteers, who feel
they have inadequate emergency
response experience.
“It takes a long time to build up
the experience,” Sun said. “We expect our EMTs to put in 12 hours a
week. Our experienced EMTs put
in much more than that because we
have to help the younger people.”
Fire and emergency services division manager Jim Yates explained he and his staff use per diems to cover open shifts when fulltime employees take vacation.
“[Per diems] are protected by
worker’s compensation and liability insurance,” Yates said. “Currently the township provides all the
volunteer members with all the
protections save for pay and healthcare. If a volunteer member is injured performing their duties, they
are covered by worker’s comp, liability insurance, et cetera.”
Tedesco confirmed the township
provides the squad’s worker’s
compensation and liability insurance. Twin W uses the township’s
equipment and ambulances, and so
the township would cover any injuries incurred while on duty.
“When it comes to per diems, we
never really discussed with the
township how the worker’s compensation would be paid out if they
got hurt on Emergency & Fire Services ambulances. That was why
they were holding out,” Tedesco
said. “We can only provide the
trainers when they are not on call,
educate them in a classroom setting
on what they may see in the street.”
The township has agreed the
squad is allowed to hire educators
and staff, though for the squad this
option would be contingent on billing.
“All we really needed was educators,” Tedesco said. “Instead of
them riding [on ambulances], they
will teach.”
According to Tedesco, Twin W
met with a town council member
on September 24, and the township
is considering the option of billing.
“We are looking to start billing by
the end year.”
West Windsor Mayor Shing-Fu
Hsueh said billing permission for

township would need to modify
policies and ultimately require
council action.
enue. “The township gets 95 percent of income. They could allocate some to the school board,” Simon said.
McManimon said PILOT would
produce more money for the township than what otherwise would
have occurred, and that redevelopment would produce activities in
places that previously had no activity.
When called for comment after
the meeting, council president Bryan Maher said it was premature to
give feedback and that the council
will meet for discussion in the not
too distant future.

council also amended the proposed
yard ordinance during the work
session after the Howard Hughes
presentation, and it was introduced
at the subsequent business meeting.
Responding to community feedback, the council decided to remove the yard waste pile size limit,

charge for ambulance transports.
The squad’s costs for the first three
quarters of 2014 were $164,000, up
from $102,000 in actual expenses
in 2013. Tedesco says the increase
was due to additional costs for
trainers, uniforms, and equipment
repair, as well as electricity, plumbing, and roof fixes for its building at
21 Everett Drive.
Total income for the squad so far
in 2014 is $126,000, up from
$106,000 in 2013. The township
directly contributes $30,000 per
year, and medical supply and
equipment orders accounted for an
additional $15,000 contribution,
according to township business
administrator Marlena Schmid.
Aside from township contributions, donations from local residents and businesses are the only
other source of income for the
squad, Tedesco said.
Twin W holds fund drives in the
spring and fall, sending a mail-out
to residents. This year’s Fall Fund
Drive was mailed out in mid-September. Twin W is also actively recruiting volunteers and will hold an
open house on Saturday, October 4,
from 10 a.m. to noon at its Everett

not against David, but rather
against the idea of naming school
facilities after students. Kaye noted
that a decision to name a facility after a specific student will put future
school boards in the untenable position of having to place a value on a
student’s life and accomplishments
when considering naming a facility.
Powell, the third dissenter, offered no explanation for his vote.
Michele Kaish, Dana Krug, and
Rachelle-Feldman Hurwitz explained their “yes” votes. Said
Kaish, who made the motion to rename the baseball field after Bachner: “Tonight, as is often the case,
we are being asked to vote on an
issue that really has no one ‘right’
or ‘wrong’ answer. One thing that I
hope that everyone can agree on,
though, is the course of action that
has led us to where we are today.
“While some have expressed
concerns about the precedent this
vote would be setting, I have been
more concerned about the precedent our process would be setting.
As chair of the Administration and
Facilities Committee and a member of the Ad Hoc Committee on
Naming, it was very important to
me that people who wished to voice
an opinion had ample opportunity
to do so and that those who communicated with us felt that their
voices were heard. With two public
forums and an E-mail address solely dedicated to the naming issue, I
believe that anyone wishing to provide feedback was able to do so.
“I have given considerable
thought to the subject of precedent
and certainly understand the concerns expressed on that issue.
However, Policy 7250, which
guides us in the naming of a facility, contemplates a case-by-case assessment. The outcome of tonight’s
vote will represent a decision on
this specific request and neither diminishes the accomplishments of
others in our community nor impacts any future requests that may
be made. Each request made under
Policy 7250 will be evaluated individually, on its merits, against the
criteria specified in the policy.”
Kaish continued: “It is important to note that the intent of this
policy is not to honor or recognize
people solely because they have
passed away or no longer have a
formal association with the district.
A five-year waiting period was established to see if a person’s legacy
could truly stand the test of time.
“My ‘yes’ vote tonight is based
on an application of those criteria
to David Bachner’s contributions
and achievements on the baseball
field. In considering this request, I
needed to ask myself: did Bachner
have ‘an especially significant, notable, or extraordinary contribution
or achievement?’ Bachner’s numerous school, county, and state
records continue to stand. I am convinced that his accomplishments
on the baseball field more than sufficiently meet the criteria.”
Said Krug: “I come to my ‘yes’
vote as a school board member, a
High School North parent and a
long-time supporter of youth baseball through the local Little League
and Babe Ruth and travel team organizations.
“I have studied the board policy,
and I have reviewed the contributions that David Bachner made to
High School North Baseball, the
High School North student body,
and the greater West Windsor and
Plainsboro community.”
“As I heard the forum participants, read the letters from supporters, and reviewed Bachner’s base-
ball record, I understand the impact
that he had and continues to have
on our community. The high school
north baseball field is already the
David Bachner field — the students, staff, community, and the
media call it that. There is already
permanent commemoration of David’s accomplishments at the site.
“Additionally, as a long-time
fan of youth baseball, I see that he
did have a significant contribution
to the school community. He set
school records. In addition, many
of the speakers at the public forums
shared stories of how David was as
a classmate — kind, considerate,
and well-liked. All of these attributes indicate to me that the request
to name the High School North varsity baseball field after Bachner
meets the criteria of the board policy,” added Krug.
Feldman-Hurwitz also explained
her “yes” vote. “Both the Bachners
and the Bakers have suffered a tragedy in the loss of their sons. This
decision, like many others the board
must make, is a very difficult decision, and I have thought long and
hard about my vote. But in the end,
I believe that naming the baseball
field after David Bachner is the
right thing to do.”
She continued: “In no way does
this mean that I discount the Bakers’ position, and I hope that they
continue their work with the community through AIR because I
think it is extremely valuable.
“I hope that our vote today will
bring, if not peace, then at least closure to both of the families, as well
as the community.”
‘The outcome of tonight’s vote will represent a decision on this
specific request and neither diminishes the accomplishments of others
in our community nor
impacts any future requests that may be
made,’ Kaish said.
Approximately 15 members of
the public gave public comment on
the motion, 13 in favor and two opposed, both of whom emphasized
the possibility of triggering suicidal tendencies. The others spoke of
David and his achievements in
baseball and his contribution to the
WW-P community.
Steven Bachner, David’s father,
spoke movingly about his son and
his time in the district and in baseball. Throughout the night, parents
and children told stories of David
Bachner and how he touched the
lives of everyone he came into contact with.
“After David died, the stories
came out,” Bachner said. “The
things that he did were incredible.
He would give the shirt off his
back. Even more than that, he was
the kind of kid who just had an infectious smile. It never changed.”
Bachner recalled an instance
when one of David’s baseball
teammates, an outfielder, had lost
his sunglasses. David gave the
teammate his own sunglasses, and,
after the game, told him to keep
them. At the funeral the teammate
told David’s father the story, and
offered to return the sunglasses;
Bachner said no and him to keep
them as a reminder of the type of
person David was.
Others who spoke in favor of the
renaming were Bachner’s former
baseball coach Bob Boyce, who
had originally raised the question of
renaming the baseball field; longtime friend and teammate Ryan
Phelan, and residents, both young
and old, who viewed Bachner as a
role model and someone they hoped
other students would emulate.
Kurt Baker, co-founder of Attitudes in Reverse and father of former student Kenny Baker, who
committed suicide in May, 2009,
spoke out against the measure.
Baker’s concern is that naming a
facility after a deceased student,
and thus immortalizing that death,
would act as a trigger for students
with suicidal tendencies to take
their own lives. “Your job as board
members is to protect the students’
best interests,” Baker said. “If you
feel compelled to act on an emotional level, then you must abstain
from voting. If you feel like voting
regardless of the facts then you
must resign from the board.”
Mental health advocate Shauna
Moses, the associate executive director of the New Jersey Association of Mental Health Agencies,
seconded Baker’s viewpoint, noting that suicide is one of the leading
causes of death among high school
and college students. She cited research showing that glamorizing
the death of a student can encourage others to take their own lives.
Several members of the public
countered this viewpoint, among
them former Board of Education
member Michele Epstein, who said
that she had spoken with a mental
health professional at Princeton
University about this very issue
and was advised that honoring the
death of a student who died from
natural causes is unlikely to cause a
student to take his or her own life.
And 25-year resident Eric
Sleeper, whose younger brother
committed suicide many years ago,
also addressed this issue. “I wasn’t
planning on speaking today, but I
wanted to address the issue of suicide. I have been involved with the
issue of suicide for most of my life,
and have read about the causes of
suicide in an effort to understand
my brother’s passing, and based on
my research, I respectfully disagree with the Bakers’ position.”
I
n other school news, Superintendent David Aderhold noted that
while the start of the 2014-’15
school year had begun reasonably
well, the administration was working to rectify issues with bussing
that have arisen.
In addition, Aderhold provided a
little information about the new
state-mandated testing that students in grades 3 to 11 would be
taking this school year. Said Aderhold, “The PARCC test will replace
the NJASK. There will be two 20day testing windows for students in
the spring, and there will be no
graduation requirement for 11th
graders.” Aderhold advised that the
district would be providing more
information about the PARCC testing in the near future.
Board President Fleres announced that High School North
Assistant Principal Douglas Eadie
will be retiring as of January 1,
2015. The district has begun the
search for a replacement has posted
the vacancy announcement online.
Finally, as chair of the finance
committee, Krug said that auditor
was compiling the district’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 2013-’14. The finance
committee expects to receive a
draft next month, she said, after
which a presentation will be made
to the full board.
She also noted that most summer construction projects are complete or nearing completion. “The
Village school addition continues
to move forward,” Krug added,
“and consideration is being given
to find ways to gain schedule time
for the project.”

hat exactly is Common
Core? The district administration put together a presentation
earlier in 2014, in order to highlight the key points of Common

of standards, in language arts/literacy and mathematics, that were
created by educators around the
nation.
For mathematics, Common
Core standards strive for the following goals: 1) Increased focus,
coherence and clarity in learning
and teaching, by emphasizing key
topics at each grade level, promoting a coherent progression
across grades, and organizing
high school standards by conceptual categories; 2) Providing for
procedural fluency and understanding of concepts and skills;
and 3) Promoting educational
rigor through mathematical proficiencies that foster reasoning and
understanding across school subjects and disciplines.
Moreover, Common Core
shifts the focus of instruction in
language arts and literacy in the
following ways: 1) requiring the
reading and analysis of a balance
of literature and informational
by educators who are testing for the
information taught. The educational panel that was supposed to oversee the testing questions had no input; one expert quit the panel because it was a sham. There has been
no internal or external validation
studies on the tests.
2.) The tests are administered
via computer. This is impractical
for all intents and purposes, Sue
maintained. How is a school with
one computer lab of 25 spots supposed to handle testing for a school
of 800+? This doesn’t make sense

texts; 2) focusing on text complexity; 3) emphasizing argument, informative/ explanatory
writing, and research, 4) developing better speaking and listening
skills; and 5) imposing literacy
standards for history, science and
technical subjects as well as language arts classes.
In its presentation, the district
explains that while Common
Core standards are critical, the
curriculum shift is just the first
step. The PARCC testing, which
offers “Common assessments
[that are] aligned to the Common
Core [standards] will help ensure
the new standards reach every
classroom.”
There are several priorities
that are expected to be addressed
by the PARCC testing, including
those relating to students, teachers, and the curriculum. For instance, the PARCC testing is designed to determine whether students are college and career ready,
as well as to measure the full
range of student performance, including the performance of high
and low performing students.
PARCC is also expected to assess
the full range of the Common
Core standards, and to allow for
the incorporation of innovative
instructional approaches throughout the system. Finally, PARCC
results will be used to provide
data to inform instructional inter-
ventions, professional development and accountability of teachers and programs.
For example, PARCC will
help the district ensure that, in
language arts and literacy, students are able to “read sufficiently complex texts independently;
write effectively to sources; and
build and present knowledge
through research.” Likewise, in
math, the students will be expected to “solve problems; reason
mathematically; model real world
problems; and have fluency with
mathematics.”
Finally, notes the district, another goal of PARCC is to ensure
the use of 21st century technology-based assessments. In other
words, the PARCC testing will all
be done on computers, ideally to
better engage students in the assessment process; reduce paperwork, increase security, reduce
the need for shipping and storage
of test booklets and results; make
scoring more efficient; and allow
for timely reports of students performance throughout the academic year.

will be holding information sessions for parents in advance of the
start of PARCC testing in March.
spend more money on infrastructure; we’d have to build more computer rooms and buy more computers. There are also technical questions — what if the computers
freeze or crash in the middle of the
testing?
er performance, human nature indicates that the teachers would
work more on test prep to keep
their jobs. In addition, teachers
with a mixed level class of ESL,
special needs, or remedial learners
may not have children who can
pass the test at all. “The skill set required for teaching the way we parents want for our kids is not testable
with a standardized test,” said Sue.
3.) Teaching to the tests — with
any and all evaluation tools, there
is a concern that our teachers would
end up doing nothing but doing test
preparation in the classrooms. This
would be a nightmare for the kids
and the parents. If the Common
Core testing is used as the exclusive evaluation tool to assess teach-

North Looks Ahead; South Rebuilds
H
by Vincent Xu
igh school North defeated
South, 3-0, on South’s
home field September 23,
improving to 6-2-1 on the season
while South remains winless at 0-8.
All three goals by North were
scored before the half by seniors
Catherine Mak, Kylie Mulhall, and
Miranda Zhou.
Mulhall is one of the 12 seniors
on North’s squad, and though she
scored against South her regular
role is as center back, the team’s
last line of defense.
Kylie and her family live in
Princeton Junction. Her father
works at KPMG and her mother
teaches at Maurice Hawk Elementary School. She plays lacrosse in
the spring, and her favorite academic areas are math and writing,
though her choice of colleges is
currently undecided.
“I love this feeling of winning
with friends,” Mulhall said after
the game.
Teammate and fellow senior
Leah Yourstone plays inner offense
and she also loves the camaraderie.
She thinks North’s team strength is
its chemistry, and after the game
she pointed out that most of the senior laden team’s players have
played together since the seventh
grade.
Yourstone, who also plays first
base in softball, lives in Princeton
Junction with her mother, who
works in advertising. University of
Miami is her top college choice, as
she is attracted by the strong academics, the presence of family in
the area, and, of course, the loca-
Common Core
Common Core in the WW-P district. “Our school district teaches
kids multiple strategies they can
use to solve a given problem. Usually there are multiple approaches
possible, which teaches flexibility
of the mind. I’m not sure I agree
with forcing kids to all learn to do
math ‘the Common Core way.’ It
seems a step backwards to how
we’re doing it in WW-P.”
“My daughter just finished sixth
grade last year. She came home really confused about certain math
units, especially long division/factoring. They are using a new ladder
method which is unfamiliar to me
and seems to be causing confusion
not just for my daughter, but for
many of our students.”
Added Sue: “Many parents are
unaware of the Common Core standards. The parents who are aware
are very concerned and are active
in trying to stop Common Core and
PARCC from being enacted before
we know whether they are actually
useful. As parents, we’re busy and
we believe we do a lot for our kids
and their education. I would just
ask parents to take a look for themselves and find out more. At least
attend a PTA meeting so they can
be in touch with what is going on in
our district.”
Sue, who has earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of
California, Berkeley and a master’s
degree in physical therapy from
UMDNJ/Rutgers, is active in the
PTAs at Village School and Grover
Middle School, as well as the Special Education PTSA; and the First
Lego Robotics League.
V
irginia Manzari is another
West Windsor resident and
parent who has strong views about
tion. As for what area of study she
is interested in, Yourstone is conflicted between health sciences and
business.
“The younger girls have caught
on quickly,” Yourstone said. “We
hope to make states and to focus on
our goals.”
The team has successfully experimented with a new method of
tracking individual and team goals
over shorter periods of time. Yourstone’s mid-year goals are to improve communication, keep stress
down, and hustle to the ball while
also efficiently switching the field.
North head coach Paula Tessein
has noticed that the small goals
have helped the team. “They are
just so passionate, working hard
every day,” Tessein said. “They
communicate on and off the field.
They reflect, which is key.”
The team needs to work on consistency and managing nerves, Tessein says, as it plays out the four
remaining weeks of the regular season with an eye on the Mercer
County Tournament on October 18
and the state tournament after that.
F
or South head coach Christine
Cabarle, the loss to North puts
the team at 0-8 in a rebuilding season.
“I’m very proud that the girls
didn’t give up and played their
hearts out. The North-South game
is always an emotional and intense
game. My girls kept their heads and
didn’t allow any goals in the second half,” Cabarle wrote in an Email. “Our goals moving forward is
to generate more offense and to
continue playing aggressively.”
Common Core and PARCC. Manzari, a West Windsor resident for 15
years who has a sixth grader and a
high school freshman, said that
“people like the idea of a program
like Common Core because it
promises to raise standards and
bring children’s learning up to a
new level. But Common Core woefully fails at this. First, a one-size
fits all approach is fatally flawed.
Students are unique individuals
and they learn and process information differently. By the same token, teachers have varied talents,
and the best ones play to their individual strengths to communicate
with kids and help them learn.
Eliminating that will automatically
lower the effectiveness of the best
teachers and will take away the
ability of all teachers to use unique
methods to get through to their students. A standardized process for
learning will never bring all children up. The best case scenario is
that it will bring some kids up and
some down. In high-achieving districts like West Windsor-Plainsboro, it will undoubtedly lower
performance.”
Manzari, who holds a BS in education and an MBA from Cornell,
had worked as a teacher before
switching to a career in marketing
at firms such as P&G, Pfizer, and
Johnson & Johnson. She has also
been an active PTA member and
volunteer at Maurice Hawk, Millstone, and Grover Middle schools.
She currently serves on the West
Windsor Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Manzari is not just expressing
her views locally. She attended a
meeting of the Assembly Education Committee on May 15 to express her views about Common
Core and PARCC.
“When I learned that the committee would be discussing a delay
in Common Core implementation,
I decided to go to the meeting to en-
Junior midfielders Marisa Loury
and Erin Sheets, alongside sophomore midfielder Vashvi Shah, patrolled the length of the field the
entire game.
Senior left back Carolyn Lapettito and senior back Taylor Cohen
have been the team’s defensive
stalwarts, and Cohen halted multiple breakaways against North.
Cohen has played varsity since
her sophomore year, when South’s
team featured multiple players
headed for Division I field hockey.
“Two years ago was the best season I’ve been involved in. We had
an amazing team, seniors who were
good captains,” Cohen said. “As a
sophomore playing with a great
team, I couldn’t have been luckier.
I had so many girls teach me skills
that I use today.”
Cohen has a passion for language arts classes. An elective
class called “Rebellion and Conformity,” taught by Michael Novak, has been particularly compelling for her. She is interested in
pursuing an education major in college, and she likes Penn State. Her
parents, Wayne, an architect who
works in New York, and Debbie,
who works locally, live in West
Windsor.
This season Cohen has been
tasked with defense, after previously featuring on offense. She
hasn’t found the adjustment to be
particularly hard. The pressure to
score goals has been replaced with
a pressure to stop goals and stop incoming attackers.
Senior forward Sarah Moxham
was also a member of the varsity
team two years ago that made a
courage them to revoke the Common Core standards altogether.
The NJ Assembly meeting that I
attended on May 15 was packed
with educators (administrators,
school board members, teachers,
principals), parents, and student
advocacy groups. It was standing
room only. Most of the public comment was devoted to testing methodology and implementation, graduation requirements, and teacher
evaluations, as that was what the
proposed bill addressed. However,
I spoke about curriculum content,
and it was clear to me that the members of the committee (although
they claimed to be supporters of
Common Core) were shocked at
Many parents are unaware of the Common
Core. The parents who

some of the curriculum examples I
gave. It was obvious to me that they
aren’t actually aware of what they
are supporting.”
Manzari added that “one administrator at the meeting estimated
that PARCC testing will take twice
as much time to implement in the
classroom as did NJASK, which it
replaces, which most parents and
teachers think takes too much time
already. Another administrator
thought the amount of time was
closer to three months.”
Why is Manzari so concerned
about the common core methodology? “A key problem with Common Core: the answer is wrong if
you don’t solve it ‘the Common
Core way.’ So if you know how to
solve the problem using a different,
more efficient way and you get the
correct answer, it’s still marked
wrong. Conversely, Common Core
places a greater emphasis on ‘the
senior standouts: South’s Taylor Cohen, left, and
North’s Kylie Mulhall.

deep playoff runs in both the county and state tournaments.
Moxham’s father, Christopher,
is the vice-president of oncology
research at Eli Lilly, and mother,
Laura, is a homemaker. Sarah enjoys biology and she is attracted by
the science programs at Brandeis,
Northeastern, and Villanova. She is
exploring running for Brandeis’
track and field team, which is her
main sport. Moxham specializes in
the 400 and 800 meter races. As a
sophomore she was a member of
South’s 4 x 800 meter relay team
that broke the school record.
Transitioning to a leadership
role on this year’s team was disorienting at first, she said, though her
experiences as a student council
representative and as a peer leader
guiding freshmen have helped.
“You are more visible; people
look to you to guide them,” Moxham said. “It’s realizing ‘wow I’m
the senior now and I have to tell
people what to do.’ In previous
years you had players who lived
and breathed field hockey. This
year we don’t have one player who
handles everything themselves.”
Alongside fellow senior Cohen,
Moxham is proud of the team’s
progress this season.
“Even though our record does
not show it, our team has made
massive improvement,” Moxham
said. “In terms of the aggressiveness and intensity with which we
play, at the beginning of the season
we were afraid of the ball a bit.
We’ve realized we can handle the
ball, we can drive it up the field,
and we can score.”
process,’ so if you say 3 x 4 = 11 but
you explain yourself using ‘the
Common Core way’ then that’s an
acceptable answer.”
She continued: “One of the most
striking examples of the poor content is a video of a parent at an Arkansas Board of Ed meeting who
asked the board the same question
her child had to answer: If there are
18 students in a class, and the class
counts itself by a number and ends
with 90, what number did they
count by? One of the board members correctly answered “five,” explaining that 90 divided by 18
equals 5. However the Common
Core solution requires a page full
of notes and drawings and a whopping 108 steps to solve the problem. And it’s wrong if you don’t
solve it that way.
“I have a friend who is an elementary school teacher in another
district in New Jersey. She mentioned that some of the processes
for teaching math are so convoluted that the teachers don’t even understand it.”
“Unfortunately when they take
the PARCC test, they’ll inevitably
run into problems because they
won’t know how to do them ‘the
Common Core way.’ I’m not sure
how they are supposed to know
how to do that when the teachers
can’t even figure it out. Interestingly, at the meeting I attended, a
member of a New Jersey Board of
Education made the suggestion of
opting out of the PARCC, telling
the Assembly Education Committee that parents in his district (who
have been struggling with Common Core all year) are ‘extremely
angry and at a breaking point’ and
they are ready to opt out of testing
in droves. He suggested to the committee that unless they fix this
problem — and in a big way —
there might not be anyone left taking the test.”
“I’ll close with a quote by an-
other friend about her Common
Core experience thus far,” Manzari
said. “She is a New Jersey mother
of three, who is also a former teacher: ‘Common Core — because no
kid should be able to understand
math. And because listening to
your kids break down and cry for
hours over homework while you
try to help them understand something that doesn’t even make sense
to you is the greatest family time
ever: A true measure of the success
of our public education system.
This is ridiculous.’”
Some states have already opted
out. Although originally 46 states
and the District of Columbia had
adopted the Common Core standards, as of this writing, nine states
have either never adopted Common Core, or have voted to repeal
the mandate to use them, and other
states continue to follow suit.
In New Jersey a coalition of parents, teachers, and legislators of
both parties sought to repeal Common Core this summer. Though the
initiative passed the state assembly,
Governor Chris Christie vetoed the
measure, instead issuing an executive order to create a study commission that will review the effectiveness of all K-12 student assessments administered in New Jersey.
The commission is charged with
reviewing and providing appropriate recommendations about the effectiveness of the volume, frequency, and impact of student testing
occurring throughout New Jersey
school districts, as well as the Common Core State Standards, and the
PARCC assessments. According to
the executive order, the commission will need to present an initial
report to the Governor by no later
than December 31, with a final report to be issued by July 31, 2015.
In the meantime, in the district
and the state, Common Core and
PARCC will be moving forward as
scheduled.

he setting for “The Mousetrap,” based on the short story “Three Blind Mice,” is an
idyllic English manor house newly
opened by an eager young couple.
The Kelsey production features a
group of strangers trapped together
during a snowstorm amid news of a
murder nearby. Mistrust and fear
soon take center stage — and none
of the characters is above suspicion. After more than 60 years on
stage in London — making it the
longest continuous run of any play
in history — “The Mousetrap” still
keeps audiences on the edge of
their seats and guessing until the
very end.
Andrew Gordon of West Windsor plays the role of Christopher
Wren, the first guest to arrive at the
hotel. The character, a young man,
appears slightly bizarre and hyperactive.
“I’ve had such great fun working on this wonderful show by
Dame Agatha Christie,” says Gordon. “Christie is a brilliant storyteller, taking the reader or audience
on a journey with a whole bunch of
twists and turns, they can’t help but
be on the edge of their seats. My
character, Christopher Wren, is a
bit of an eccentric, completely fascinated with antique furniture and
cooking, though there’s a hidden
darkness underneath his whimsical
and mischievous nature. Am I, or
am I not the murderer? You’ll have
to come see ‘The Mousetrap’ to
find out.”
Acting since childhood, Gordon

credits his career path to Georgine
Hall, a teacher of drama at the Lewis School and a professional actor.
During his years at High School
North, he was in productions including “High School Musical.”
He performed in “The Pregnancy
Project,” a play about teen pregnancy, on stage in New York City in
2010.
After graduating from Mercer
County Performing Arts High
School and North in 2010 he studied at New York Conservatory for
Dramatic Arts, a two-year school,
with a focus on acting. He studied
the Meisner technique, acting for
television, film, and more.
Born in Australia, Gordon has
lived in West Windsor since 2001.
His mother, Jill, is the school nurse
at Saint Ann School in Lawrenceville and his father, Neil, is a senior

‘ Warriors’ Against J uvenile Diab etes
T
he title “Warrior One” might
remind people of an action
video game, but this event
features outdoor, family yoga, and
bring your own picnic day to raise
money for the Juvenile Diabetes
Research Foundation. The event, at
Van Nest Park on Cranbury Road,
on Sunday, October 5, at 11 a.m.,
has been organized by Agatha Siegel of West Windsor.
“Two of our four sons have Type
1 diabetes, and we have been involved with JDRF for nine years
now,” says Siegel, who was raised
in Plainsboro. “Our family team
has raised more than $100,000 for
JDRF through Walk to Cure Diabetes and other fundraising efforts
such as tag sales.”
She and her family moved to
West Windsor two years ago. Her
husband, Marc, works in television
advertising and commutes to New
York City. “We have been warmly
welcomed into this community and
in an effort to continue growing the
community spirit and to support
JDRF we were inspired to create
this Warrior One event — the first
of its kind but hopefully will become an annual tradition,” she
says.
“Last year we reached out to Bai
to let them know we were big fans
of their healthy drinks and they in
turn came out to support us in the
fight to cure Type 1 diabetes,” says
Siegel. The yoga portion of the
party will be team taught by YogaSoul’s instructors including coowner Linda Domino and instruc-
tor Christine Girandola, who is best
known for her “happy hour” and
pre-teen classes. PrincetonKids is
also helping with networking to get
the event off the ground.
An only child, Siegel was born
in Poland and moved to Plainsboro
when she was eight and her father
took a job at RCA in West Windsor.
Known as Agatha Gogol in her
youth, she attended Maurice Hawk
and Dutch Neck schools until her
parents moved to Robbinsville.
She graduated from Notre Dame
High School. After graduating
from Union College with a degree
in English and visual arts, she
worked in New York City for close
to 20 years.
Jackson, now 9 and a fourth
grade student at Millstone River
School, was only 16 months old
when she noticed that he was very
thirsty, his urination increased, and
his temperament had changed. She
shared her observations with the
pediatrician, who did some testing.
“She called us at 10 p.m. and Jackson was admitted to the hospital
that night,” says Siegel, who was
32 weeks pregnant with the twins.
“We were very ignorant about the
diagnosis,” she says. “Nobody in
our family had diabetes.”
“We started on insulin injections, but we had to be so rigid with
a child,” she says. “The pump allows more freedom.” Jackson has
done presentations in his classes
and the family has been supportive
of the Juvenile Diabetes Research
Fund, an organization seeking to

find a cure for Type 1 diabetes, for
several years.
The twins, Alec and Bennett, are
7 and second grade students at
Hawk School. Owen, 2, attends
Cherry Hill Nursery School. Alec
was diagnosed with diabetes last
year. “It was as much of a shock as
the first time,” says Siegel, who has
since met other families with two
children who have type 1 diabetes.
“More than three million Americans have Type 1, and this chronic
disease can lead to devastating
health complications. It most definitely changes the lives of those
diagnosed drastically.”
“While we have hope that a cure
is in our future, we don’t dwell on
the negatives or live in the future;
our family focuses on being healthy
and enjoying all of the moments we
can right now. Our two boys are
true warriors in the face of this disease — battling it 24/7.”

AND THE HAIR
Schools
ECAILLE - also known as the tortoise
shell technique, “features golden highlights
paired with darker, richer caramel tones for
shiny, sun-kissed, natural-looking hair.”
Models and celebs love the golden, multi-tones which are deeper at the roots and lighter at the ends. It’s not your everyday highlight
– and don’t call it ombre. Instead, ecaille is ombre’s moodier sister. It’s a healthy, glossy update for ombre fans or for those who feel
ombre was too stark for their style. Ecaille gives a soft, multi-tonal look without any harsh lines. Think more tone-on-tone, yet blended
throughout the hair; incorporating two shades that are in the same family, but no more than two levels apart.
Popular with A-list celebs such as Jessica Alba and and Scarlett Johansson, Ecaille is a more grown-up and sophisticated version of
ombre, not a ‘grown out’ version of highlights.
Shine your Own Spotlight! Great for Blondes, Brunettes and redheads
GET THE LOOK:
KEEP THE LOOK:
• Don’t make your ends too light in color, otherwise you are
creating an ombre
• Avoid a noticeable line of separation between darks and lights
• Maintain with monthly glossing; touch up highlights every few
weeks
• Choose colors that suit your skin - fair or pale skin should add
golden tones for vibrancy; olive or more red tone skin needs
some ash to give skin a more natural, sun-kissed look.
Is Ecaille Right for You? Come in for a Color
Consultation and receive a Complimentary
Umbrella Waterproofing Treatment (reg. $38*)
Boost your color and protect against Hygral fatigue! Prevent water, chlorine,
chemicals and contaminants in water from penetrating the hair shaft and stripping away vital proteins, oils and color, for less color fade, less breakage and
overall healthier, shinier hair.
Make WATERPROOFING part of every color service with our UMBRELLA
PRE-COLOR TREATMENT - $38!

APPLICATION FOR VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT
WARNING
This application must be received by the County Clerk not later than 7 days prior to the election, unless you apply in person or via an
authorized messenger during County Clerk’s office hours, but no later than 3 P.M. the day prior to the election.
VOTE BY MAIL NOTICE TO PERSONS WANTING MAIL-IN BALLOTS
If you are a qualified and registered voter of the State who
wants to vote by mail in the General Election to be held on
November 4, 2014 complete the application form below
and send to the undersigned, or write or apply in person to
the undersigned at once requesting that a mail-in ballot be
forwarded to you. The request must state your home address
and the address to which the ballot should be sent. The
request must be dated and signed with your signature.
If any person has assisted you to complete the mail-in ballot
application, the name, address and signature of the assistor
must be provided on the application and, you must sign and
date the application for it to be valid and processed. No person
shall serve as an authorized messenger for more than 10
qualified voters in an election. No person who is a candidate in
the election for which the voter requests a mail-in ballot may
provide any assistance in the completion of the ballot or may
serve as an authorized messenger or bearer.
No mail-in ballot will be provided to any applicant who
submits a request therefor by mail unless the request is
received at least seven days before the election and contains
the requested information. A voter may, however, request an
application in person from the county clerk up to 3 p.m. of the
day before the election.
Voters who want to vote only by mail in all future general
elections in which they are eligible to vote, and who state that
on their application shall, after their initial request and without
further action on their part, be provided a mail-in ballot by the
county clerk until the voter requests that the voter no longer
be sent such a ballot. A voter’s failure to vote in the fourth
general election following the general election at which the
voter last voted may result in the suspension of that voter’s
ability to receive a mail-in ballot for all future general elections
unless a new application is complete and filed with the county
clerks.
Voters also have the option of indicating on their mail-in
ballot applications that they would prefer to receive mail-in
ballots for each election that takes place during the remainder
of this calendar year. Voters who exercise this option will be
furnished with mail-in ballots for each election that takes place
during the remainder of this calendar year, without further
action on their part.
Application forms may be obtained by applying to the
undersigned either in writing or by telephone, or the
application form provided below may be completed and
forwarded to the undersigned.

THE NEWS
W
SEPTEMBER 26, 2014
ho was Howard Hughes?
Now that’s really looking back — a very long
way. And, to me, it’s amazing that
his name is now of interest in West
Windsor simply because the company that bears his name owns one
of the largest undeveloped land areas in the township. If and how it
ends up being developed can have a
major effect on the future of the
township and the people who live
here — whether we like it or not.
But, since I do not speak for any
who favor one kind of development over another, I will not just
write about its potential “development,” in the usual sense. We already have too much of that, anyway.
I first saw the name Howard
Hughes in a book called “Flying for
1936.” It was given to me by my
parents, I think as a birthday present. They realized I liked airplanes
as a little boy, and they thought I
would enjoy the book. In fact, I
used to spend hours looking at it
and came to know what was on just
about every page. It recounted all
the latest advances in aviation and
airplane design, and contained
three-view drawings of most of the
airplanes of the day. There is no
doubt that Flying for 1936 was very
influential in my eventually becoming an aeronautical engineer.
And one of my favorite parts of
the book was the story about how
Howard Hughes had set a new airplane speed record in 1935 of 352
miles per hour in his self-built H-1
racer — a speed that seemed impossible at the time. (Then, if you
were clipping along in your car at
30 or 35 miles per hour on a highway, you were really moving.) The
book said very little about Hughes
himself — simply that he was an
aviator with an interest in designing and building airplanes that
could go fast. Since the book was
about aviation as it was in 1936,
some of Hughes’s other unique
aviation ventures such as the
“Spruce Goose,” of a decade later,
were not mentioned. His earlier career as a movie producer was men-
tioned, however. I should also point
out that his speed record was for an
airplane that took off from land. A
faster speed record had been set a
couple of years earlier with a seaplane.
But the book had fascinating
pictures of all kinds of the latest advances in aviation. One of my favorites was the picture of Eastern
Airlines passengers eating lunch
on a Douglas transport, the latest in
passenger airplanes. That plane
was large enough to carry about a
dozen passengers in its cabin. Another showed a flight attendant
making up the bed on an American
Airlines sleeper plane. Flight attendants — or stewardesses — had to
be registered nurses in those days
because many passengers became
airsick and there needed to be
someone handy who knew how to
take care of such cases. But the idea
of actually eating in your seat or
sleeping in a bed on an airplane was
very strange.
The company that calls itself
Howard Hughes these days is very
different from that of the aviator’s
or tool maker’s day. Its main business seems to be land development.
Now they have control over what
was once the agricultural research
center of the American Cyanamid
Company, a company that did research on new products that helped
in farming and the raising of livestock.
During the 1960s and ‘70s —
and maybe into the ‘80s — they
kept an outdoor laboratory where
they raised pigs and other livestock
for all to see. When you drove past
a spot on Clarksville Road about
halfway between the railroad overpass and Quaker Bridge Road you
passed the pigs in their pens on the
side towards the railroad. Many
times the kids insisted that we pull
over and let them get out and go
over to the fence and watch the pigs
for a while. This was especially fun

when there was a new litter to see.
At some point — maybe in the
1980s — American Cyanamid
built a new facility that appeared to
be the makings of a new laboratory
for continued product development. You could even see a new
greenhouse from the road. But not
long after that there seemed to be a
change in course and the whole operation shut down. (The driveway
in to the new facility from Clarksville Road was indicated by a useless
“Construction
Entrance
Ahead” sign for many years, until
the township had it removed.) The
new place has been in that aban-

vulged information that was instrumental in Washington’s eventual
victory in the Battle of Princeton.
But now it seems that farming the
area again is out of the question,
unless Howard Hughes wants to try
being really innovative and some
of its people learn to drive tractors
— which seems very unlikely, unless there’s a lot of money in it. So
here is a list of possible uses for an
area of 1 square mile of really flat
West Windsor land in this day and
age:
1. Airport or heliport: West
Windsor used to have one of each
and they could both be useful again
for some as a back-up for the train.
.2 R acetrack ( horse or auto) :
Remember that East Windsor used
to have a stock-car track until
around 30 years ago. You could
hear the cars in most of West Windsor during the summer evenings if
the wind was right. And as for horse
racing, it might be complicated to
get it going, but think of West
Windsor’s potential share of the
parimutuel betting handle.
doned condition for a long time,
and the Howard Hughes connection has only recently become
known to most people.
By the way, another abandoned
building that appears to be with us
permanently is that of the NJ Bell
Telephone Company at the corner
of Clarksville and Quaker Bridge.
What will become of that?
So what might Howard Hughes
do with its property? It’s huge —
more than 650 acres, a little more
than 1 square mile. A long time ago
it was the site of several family
farms, including those of Stuart
Reed, Jesse Coleman, and Daniel
Faccini. Even longer ago, during
the American Revolution, a skirmish took place near the property’s
western end during which British
soldiers were captured and di-

to see, with a small museum with
exhibits that explain why it was
built and what its history was with
Howard Hughes at the controls. If
you don’t know, the Spruce Goose
was for many years the world’s
largest airplane. It was a flying boat
with eight piston engines and made
entirely of wood. It was designed
and built by Hughes and flown only
once, in 1947. It is now in a museum in Long Beach, CA. (Years later, a larger airplane, the Antonov
An-225 was produced in Russia in
1988.)
8.
Amusement park: How
about a local and scaled down version of Six Flags Great Adventure?
One of the problems with that place
is that it’s too far away. That could
be a money-maker, but the added
traffic might not be so good.
9. Golf course: Probably unnecessary, since West Windsor already
has nearly three.
10.
Donate the w hole thing to
West Windsor as open space. Let
the property revert naturally to
whatever it will become on its own:
open fields, forests, habitat for wild
animals, etc. And, by all means,
take away the abandoned buildings
that remain. In other words, stop
messing with it!
Now there’s a list of possibilities
of how to use an area of open land
without necessarily having to “develop” it for potential financial
profit — although there is potential
profit in some of the suggested uses
since most could charge admission.
Sometimes there are alternatives
that make sense, even for business.
And, after all, does West Windsor
exist just to provide profit-making
opportunities for anyone without
limit? If you think so, start promoting West Windsor City, a place
complete with expensive hotels,
exclusive restaurants, high-rise
apartment complexes, and the best
of everything at your fingertips.
In short, the kind of place where
Howard Hughes himself would
have wanted to live. But I certainly
wouldn’t want to live there myself.
