Cheryl Rowe-Rendleman, who
was recently named president
of the board of the Princeton
YWCA, knows the importance of
being involved in her community.
The West Windsor resident
makes use of the wisdom and
knowledge from her years as
a business person in addition
to numerous other life lessons
to give back to the community
through various volunteer efforts.
A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Rowe-Rendleman’s mother
set an example through her activism that blacks need to stand firm
in defending their right to fair
treatment under the law. She was
four when Baltimore decided to
build an expressway through her
home on West Mulberry Street.
Given the city’s eminent
domain over the property, the
people in the neighborhood felt
they had no way to fight back,
Rowe-Rendleman said, until a
group of young Vista volunteers
came to town. “They galvanized
the neighbors to try to have a
voice and at least get a fair price
for their property,” said RoweRendleman, who moved to West
Windsor 11 years ago.
Her mother led a group of
neighbors that held marches
and “talked back” to the mayor
and to congressmen.
“These were literally the workSee RENDLEMAN, Page 10
In the spring Xin Zhang and
her 10-year-old daughter Jasmine brought home several
chicken hatchlings to raise in
their backyard. The family spent
a few hundred dollars for a conventional two-tiered chicken
coop, with a side door leading
to a fenced-in raised bed for
roaming. The whole thing takes
up fewer than 30 square feet of
space on their half-acre property
on Hawthorne Drive.
Little did they know that the
setup would end up forcing
them to have to appear before
the township zoning board.
Xin, her husband, Lin, and
their two children moved to the
subdivision off New Edinburg
Road more than a year ago for
the additional space. The Zhangs
had lived in a Canal Pointe townhouse for seven years.
The previous neighborhood
had a strict pet policy. Now in
their expanded digs, the family
wanted to try raising chickens.
Growing up in China, Xin and
Lin’s families both had a few pet
chickens, but this would be their
first time doing so in town.
Lin said both his children are
allergic to dander from cats and
dogs, and so chickens would be
a good alternative. Feeding and
cleaning the chickens would be

BY MADELEINE MACCAR
Eva Farrell, one of West
Windsor Arts Council’s newest employees wants you to
discover what a hidden gem
the organization and the West
Windsor Arts Center truly is.
Having worked as the council’s education program asso-
ciate since April, Farrell’s previous experience in nonprofit
ventures as both a teaching
artist and camp counselor has
been augmented by her time
witnessing firsthand just how
much work goes on behind the
administrative scenes.
“I think this is true everywhere but there always so
much to do but never enough
time or manpower to do it but
within the couple of months
I’ve been there, I’ve seen the
women at the helm of this organization really do it all,” she
said. “There’s so much good
that this particular organization is trying to make happen
in the community.”
She hopes that the “The
Sideways Mandate Experiment,” featuring her own theater troupe on July 23 will help
demonstrate that to a number of
members of the community, as
well as show them what a treat
experimental plays can be for
their audience.
The event features 21 professional theater artists who have
created five new works over the
previous 24-hours.

Library is vital to Plainsboro
0% Interest Financing for
60 Months with ZERO Down**...
PLUS Lennox Rebates Up To $1,500*...
Dennis Buchert argues against township funding for the Plainsboro Free
Public Library (WW&P News, July 5)
because “libraries have become obsolete in today’s high-tech world.”
In 2015, the library circulated 366,873
items—nearly 16 per Plainsboro resident. (This compares with the statewide
library average of just 6.3 in 2014.)
So our collections are quite popular.
Last year, an average of 707 people
visited the Plainsboro librar y each
day. 20,000 people attended programs
we sponsored.
The library offers classes in English
as a second language, provides help
with tax preparation and has resources
to help unemployed persons with job
searches. When Superstorm Sandy
knocked out power to many of our
homess, the library provided a way to
charge phones and communicate with
anxious relatives and friends.
Plainsboro Library offers the latest in
learning technology. Our digital circulation in 2015 included 12,143 e-books and
downloadable audio books. IPads are
available for customer use.
We provide online databases, the
cost of which would be prohibitive for
individual citizens to access. Volunteers
(many of them teenagers from our high
schools) teach library patrons how to
use technology.
Last month alone, the library ran 43
programs that were enjoyed by 1,177
adults and children, ranging from story
times for our youngest citizens to a summer reading program, science programs,

Village School expansion

On Tuesday, July 12, the school district hosted an open house to allow the
public to see the new extension built on
Village School to house the central office
staff and additional instructional spaces.
While the event was well attended, I
would like to share with those who could
not be there some of the history behind
the project and its benefits to West
Windsor and Plainsboro.

requesting an unscheduled tour of the
offices, which are understandably nonpublic spaces. They were told it wasn’t
practical to hold an impromptu tour during business hours and
something was scheduled for them the following week. It was later
decided to hold a single
event for the entire community after the end of
school year.
For years, the most
of the district’s central
office functions were
housed in a small building at 505 Village Road
West. Some departments, such as special
services,
technology
and
transportation,
were located in other
buildings and trailers
around the district. In
2011, Hurricane Irene flooded the basement of 505 Village Road West, making
it unsuitable for offices and making an
already overcrowded situation worse.
After considering alternatives, which
were discussed at committee and board
meetings throughout 2012 and 2013, the
board of education decided that constructing an extension to the existing Village
School would solve the central office problem and provide needed additional classroom space. A public presentation was
made by the superintendent and the district’s architect at the Jan. 28, 2014, board
meeting. Details were reported by the
WW-P News in its January 24, 2014, and
February 7, 2014, issues. (Readers can
look up these articles on the paper’s web
site.) Construction began in 2014 and was
completed in time for the start of the 20152016 school year.
In addition to offices, construction also
included six regular-sized classrooms
and two smaller instructional spaces to
accommodate increasing enrollment at
Village. To avoid conflicts and provide
security for the children attending Village, the two sections of the building are
separated by locked and alarmed doors.
Central Office staff and visitors have
their own parking area accessed from Village Road East, while the school continues to use the entrance on New Village
Road. As appropriate for a new building,
the extension has advanced features for
energy conservation and sustainability
and is LEED Silver Certified.
While consolidating the different
central office functions at a single location has allowed the staff to work more
effectively, the greatest benefit was that
it allowed the district to free up space in
several schools that can now be used as
classrooms. This space has been used
to accommodate our expanding Pre-K
and Special Education programs, as
well as expected growth as a result of
current development identified across
the townships.
For example, Town Center’s third
grade was moved to newly available classrooms in Millstone River School so that
we could align our special education programs (ages 3–8) which were previously
scattered across the district. This allowed
for the consolidation of resources and a
continuity of care for our Pre-K through
Grade 2 special education students. The
combination of the new rooms at Village
and the newly available student spaces at
other buildings gained the school district
the instructional space
equivalent of another
Wicoff School.
With
respect
to
financing, the board
of education was able
to fund the project
through a combination
of capital reserves and
the district’s enterprise
fund, which encompasses
non-taxpayer
supported operations
such as community
education and the
extended day program.
By law, money earned
through the enterprise
fund cannot be used
to fund normal school
operations, but can, under certain circumstances, be used for new construction. By funding the project this way, the
board was able to avoid burdening the
taxpayers with additional debt service.
Since no new debt was incurred, a bond
referendum was not necessary.
I commend all of the district employees who worked hard to ensure that
the project was completed on time and
that offices and classrooms were relocated and ready for the start of classes
as scheduled. It was their hard work
and planning that enabled WW-P to
make more efficient use of its facilities
and accommodate growth in a fiscally
responsible manner.
In 2011, Hurricane
Irene flooded
the basement of
505 Village Road
West, making
it unsuitable
for offices and
maing an already
overcrowded
situation worse.

Budget vote not
bipartisan
I have read the recent letters written
by Paul Pitluk with great interest. He has
put forward very important questions to
council president Linda Geevers. She
is very confused as to the difference
between the definitions of nonpartisan
and bipartisan.
Let me explain to her what bipartisanship looks like. In April 2016, the
council crafted our town budget. All
council members debated all budget
items. After much debate, a consensus was reached on all line items of
the budget in April. There had been a
bipartisan concensus and agreement
on the budget.
Things turned very partisan when
Geevers went back on her word and
proposed last-second amendments to
the budget. It is easy to deduce that her
party backers convinced her to nullify
the prior agreement.
The votes for the amendments were
cast along party lines. Geevers claims
that she followed the tenets of democracy. She is correct. She did nothing illegal or undemocratic. What she did was
display how partisan she really is.

SUBURBAN MOM
Living in an upside-down world
BY EUNA KWON BROSSMAN
On one of these recent warm
nights, Will and his friend decided to
hang out at a public park in a nearby
town. They were doing what teenagers do in their summer downtime: sitting on a bench and talking, enjoying
the balmy night air.
The only trouble is that it was midnight. And there was a sign, hard to see
in the dark, even harder to see if you’re a
teenager blind to such things, but a sign,
nonetheless, that informed the citizenry
that the park closed at dusk.
Suddenly, recounts Will, a police
car pulled into the parking lot, and a
uniformed officer emerged, shining a
flashlight in their eyes, barking to see
identification. As Will
complied, a second
police car came screeching into the lot. “Guess
it’s a slow night, officer,”
my son says he noted,
not to be disrespectful
or confrontational, only
to make an observation
and defuse his nerves
with his own special
brand of teenage humor.
Needless to say, the
officer didn’t find this
humorous in any way.
“You’re pretty funny for
a 17-year-old,” aren’t
you, snarled the cop, and wrote Will a
ticket. Not his friend. Just Will. My son
says both police officers watched warily
from their respective cruisers as he and
his friend moved slowly to his car and
drove out of the park.
We scoured the ticket but couldn’t figure out what Will had been written up for,
what the fine might be, and what the next
step entailed. So we called the Municipal
Court and a date for a court appearance
was set. An hour later, we got a call from
the clerk saying the charges (whatever
they had been) had been dropped, and
the court date no longer applied.
I tell this story as the mother of a
17-year-old boy who, by definition of his
age and station in life, will not always
exercise the best judgment. Case in
point: hanging out in a public park after
curfew. “What if someone wanted to
mug you; that town does have gangs,
believe it or not, so it can be dangerous
after dark; why didn’t you come home to
hang out; didn’t you see the sign saying
the park was closed?”
We chose to use this experience as yet
another teachable moment, to explain
that no matter how rude and overbearing he felt the officers may have been,
his only correct answers were: “Yes sir,
no sir, sorry sir, and it won’t happen
again, sir.”
Given the spasm of national violence
this past week—the murders of black
men in Baton Rouge and Minnesota by
sworn officers of the law, and then the
ostensible revenge killings of policemen
in Dallas—I have to wonder how Will’s
recent encounter with the police might
have played out differently if he was not
half-Asian, but black.
It’s frightening enough to think of the
wide range of dangers that our children
face out in the world, from international
terrorism to the ramifications of texting
while driving, from concussions playing sports to having their hearts mercilessly broken in love. But black parents
do have that added other dimension of
race to add to the worry equation. And
so my heart breaks for our nation that
has turned back the clock on progress in
race relations.
How ironic that after eight years with
our first black president in the White
House, race relations
should be more strained
than they have been in
years.
Race is central to the
recent violence, but at
the root of the matter is
gun control. There are
too many guns and not
enough mental health
services, too many disenchanted and disenfranchised and not enough
community solutions, too
many rabid politicians
spouting hatred and vitriol and not enough architects of peace. We are a trigger-happy
nation with too many weapons, too many
gripes and not enough understanding.
Pundit Jon Stewart nailed our current
events with this observation: “You can
truly grieve for every officer who’s been
lost in the line of duty in this country and
still be troubled by cases of police overreach. Those two ideas are not mutually
exclusive. You can have great regard for
law enforcement and still want them to
be held to high standards.”
There’s no doubt that police encounters of the close kind are rarely pleasant: you call them when you need help
or more commonly in my case, when
you’re pulled over for a traffic violation.
In fact, my most recent encounters have
involved a broken taillight, neglecting
to use a turn signal and driving home
from the New Jersey Turnpike at 3 a.m.
There was nothing wrong: it was just a
late hour and the car smelled like the
remains of the fried chicken dinner I had
consumed earlier rather than the alcohol I think the officer was expecting.
My interactions have, for the most
part, been pleasant if perfunctory, and
I have the utmost respect for our men
(and women) in blue who put their lives
on the line every day with their sworn
duty to protect the citizenry. But when
the citizenry needs protection from our
protectors, that’s when we have a problem. And when our protectors need protection from gun-happy vigilantes, the
world has truly turned upside down.
I have to wonder
how Will’s recent
encounter with
the police might
have played out
differently if he
was not halfAsian, but black.

a chore for Jasmine to learn responsibility. She attends Princeton Day School
while older brother Jason went to Lawrenceville School and is a rising sophomore at Columbia.
The family settled into a routine, which
required collecting eggs, feeding and
cleaning.
However, last May staff from the township’s zoning and health department
showed up to inspect the chickens. There
were no health violations but it was unclear
if they were in compliance with the neighborhood’s zoning. Township land use code
does not have a specific definition for what
kind of animal counts as a pet.
Who dropped the dime on the Zhangs?
Township Council President Linda Geevers, who lives 12 houses down the road,
said she contacted the township and
asked if chickens were allowed in the
half-acre subdivision.
Zoning officer Sam Surtees determined that the chickens were not pets,
but the Zhangs then appealed to Zoning
Board to interpret the law and determine if they could keep chickens on the
property. (The Zoning Board has previously okayed llamas and pot-bellied pigs
as pets.) Lin hired an attorney for legal
research and his son Jason prepared a
powerpoint and presented the family’s
case at the July 7 Zoning Board meeting.
The meeting took more than two hours,
and half a dozen residents were allowed
to make public comments after the board
had made a decision.
Ultimately the board agreed chickens
could be considered pets, but only if the
number does not exceed three. Board
member John Church said his grandchildren in Maryland raise chickens as pets.
Sherbrooke Road resident Matthew Neiditch, a professor at Rutgers New Jersey
Medical School, supported raising chickens as pets. The township zoning office previously notified him that chickens were not
permitted, but at the zoning board meeting he said
he is looking forward to
raising chickens in a coop
with his young daughter.
“It’s pretty clear in the
ordinance that says you
can have three animals as
pets,” said Zoning Board
Chair Susan Abbey.
“There’s the question if it
would be appropriate for
all the residential zones
and what the definitions
of pets are.”
The board also recommended the Planning
Board and council look
into clarifying regulations with respect
to pet animals. The maximum number of
three apparently does not apply to cats and
dogs. The figure is derived from the township’s 1979 farming code, which states
that the presence of three or fewer animals as pets is not construed as farming.
In other words, it is legally unclear just
how many pets are allowed. If a family
wishes to raise three chickens and three
pot-bellied pigs, does that exceed the
three-pet maximum or are they within
the “three animals as pets” limit?
Any ordinance from council would
need time to be cultivated. Geevers said
council was expected to discuss the issue
at the July 18 council meeting.
“Chickens as pets, it’s an interesting
topic. It needs to be given careful consideration,” said Geevers. “How many chickens,
what size property, fencing issues, health
issues. There are several
issues that need to be discussed. We’d like to hear
from the greater community. I’m not taking a position at this point.”
For his part, Lin says
he is satisfied with the
result. This is the first
time he has dealt with
the municipal regulatory
system, and he appreciates that everybody had
a chance to speak.
They began the spring
with six chickens, five
hens and a rooster. They
culled the rooster from
their small flock after the neighborhood
complaint, and now comes the “difficult
choice” of picking which three chickens to
keep. Lin says they will probably give away
the two extra chickens to friends.
With legal expenses and application
fees, Lin estimates the whole ordeal cost
roughly $800. He says both his next door
neighbors, and two across the street, have
no problem with their backyard chickens.
Haydn Brill, a litigation attorney,

Geevers, council
president.
expressed his concern at the meeting.
Brill moved to the neighborhood in the
late 1990s, and he is surprised that the
Zoning Board decided to “open the floodgates before consideration of the issues.”
“The statutes that existed were really
for the purpose of addressing farm land
assessments, not whether or not owners
of half-acre lots, which is not a big piece
of land, can raise chickens,” he said
Even with a cap of three chickens per
household, Brill argues this could mean
having 12 chickens in a two-acre stretch
of half-acre lots.
“Nobody is going to claim that a traditional pet has an impact on the quality of the neighborhood. For example,
dogs and cats.,” he said. “A chicken is
a livestock. I know people raise them,
but this recent phenomenon is just that,
recent. When all these statutes were written, they weren’t written with an idea
with chicken as pets. There is a big distinction between chickens and domesticated animals that you can keep for
companionship.”
When asked why chickens in the
neighborhood concern him, he said, “disease, property values, noise, just to name
a few examples.”
Brill said that the Zhangs rooster was
not a nuisance, but audible. “Now I’m
dealing with three hens two yards away,”
“I’m neither happy nor upset about it.”
The Zoning Board is expected to
adopt a resolution recognizing chickens
as pets on Aug. 4. Council can also adopt
an ordinance amending the board’s
decision.

State funding crisis could delay road projects in Plainsbor0 and WW
The perfect location for your special event.
BY VINCENT XU
Dysfunction at the state level has not
brought municipal road projects to a
screeching halt, though it may cost local
taxpayers extra if state funds remain
delayed.
As the News went to press on July 15,
Gov. Chris Christie and the state Senate
were still at an impasse on how to replenish the Transportation Trust Fund, and
the governor subsequently suspended
$3.5 billion in what he deemed to be
“nonessential” road construction.
The question is how the row at the
statehouse will trickle down to impact
road construction projects planned this
year in Plainsboro and West Windsor
that are slated to receive state funding.
In West Windsor, there are several
projects for which the township was
awarded state municipal aid grants.
However, according to Pat Ward, director of community development, the
township funds projects through its
capital budget and the grants are later
funded on a reimbursement basis.
The township has already completed the first phase of Alexander Road
improvements, which involved resurfacing the Alexander Road east from
Vaughn Drive to Roszel Road. The project received state grants of $250,000 to
help defray more than half the cost. The
township has already received 75 percent
of the state money and is still awaiting the
remaining 25 percent.

ENROLLING IN PLAINSBORO!
Even if you think its your destiny to
be the very best, local police are asking
aspiring Pokemasters to exercise basic
caution when searching far and wide for
that oh-so-rare Pokemon. And for anyone unsettled by a recent uptick in roving youngsters nearby, they are probably just catching virtual creatures on
their glowing smartphone.
Several days after the Pokemon Go
mobile game was released in early
July, the West Windsor Police Department issued a press releasing warning players “that rare Pokemon may
come at the cost of your car or possibly your life.”
“For kids traveling in general,
don’t wander into dark areas. If you
wouldn’t do it on a good day don’t do
it because you’re looking for a Pokemon,” said West Windsor Police Lt.
Robert Garofalo.
Garofalo added that the press
release was also intended to let residents be aware of individuals that
might look odd wandering about, but
who might actually just be trying to
catch ‘em all.
Pokemon Go is an “augmented
reality” game played on smartphones. Imaginary creatures called
Pokemon are superimposed onto the
real world, and players must physically travel across the land to the
Pokemon’s location in order to find

and capture Pokemon.
The township’s parks are closed
after dusk, but people have been
roaming around Community Park at
night because the game has installed
valuable locations there. Garofalo
says people are not supposed to be in
parks after dusk for safety reasons.
“Individuals will most likely be
asked to leave the park,” Garofalo
said. “We wouldn’t want people to
trip in the dark or be alone and have a
medical emergency happen.”
While nothing has happened
locally, in Missouri there are reports
the game has been used to perpetrate robberies by luring players to
secluded areas. Players can cast a
beacon at certain locations that can be
viewed by all players. These beacons
function as lures for virtual Pokemon,
which in real life also attract players
eager to arrive at the beacon geolocation to catch the Pokemon. Unscrupulous users can cast a beacon in a
remote location, tempting unsuspecting victims looking to their Pokemon
collection, but who then are robbed in
real life.
And, as always, it is not advisable to
cruise around in a car or walk whilst
glued to phone. “Just be cautious,
don’t give up your normal safety precautions,” Garofalo said.

ing poor, and it wasn’t fair to take away
their property,” Rowe-Rendleman said.
Part of the city’s tactics was to split
up the neighbors by advising them not
to tell their friends what price they were
getting for their homes. That way, “you
wouldn’t know your property was being
devalued by the city,” she said.
The fight didn’t end until RoweRendleman was eight, and the family
moved to a six-bedroom house in northwest Baltimore’s Forest Park “that had
many more rooms than their were kids.”
She and her older brother started asking for baby brothers and sisters, and
her parents began taking in foster children “whose families had broken up”
and began raising them. Many of the
kids stayed until they reached 21.
In all, they took on seven children,
who they educated in a good school
system and took to church, where they
attended Sunday school and vacation
Bible school. “Those character building
things were required in the house, and
we didn’t think anything of it,” RoweRendleman said.
With the lessons learned from her
childhood in mind, Rowe-Rendleman
believes in the importance of being
socially responsible.
In an interview with the News, RoweRendleman referred to YWCA’s of “Eliminating racism, empowering women,”
and suggested that the organization’s
mission is to also to stand up for social
justice, help families and strengthen
communities. She also shared some
thoughts about current wave of race-

related violence sweeping the nation.
“This country has a lot to offer, and
every time I see or hear about the type
of mass violence that we have witnessed
over the past two summers, I am saddened but reminded of how much work
that is still needed to protect what we
have without giving in to maniacal malcontents with guns, people who abuse
their offices of authority without accountability, and people who thrive on discrediting the humanity of others,” she said.
But it’s not only in areas of race relations that Rowe-Rendleman focuses
feels a need for social responsibility.
Another formative experience came
when she was a Girl Scout. When she was
15, she was one of 50 Girl Scouts, one
from each state, who in 1976 took part
in a Coast Guard program called Scouts
on Survival. At that time, women were
not serving alongside men in the armed
services, and this was one of the experiments being done around the country to
find out how women would behave under
stressful conditions.
The girls received two weeks of training in outdoor survival and then were
broken into groups of four and dropped
on Beaver Island, in the middle of Lake
Michigan. They had to forage for food,
build shelters, build fires, cook food and
wait until a message was delivered that
told them where they would be picked
up. She remembers using floss for a fishing line, hairpins for hooks and leftover
apples and raisins for bait. They stayed
there for six days.
She said the experience was good preparation for her future in business. They
learned “how to literally live in a group
when you don’t like anyone in the group,
You had make that group still work—things
people go to management school for now.”
She talked about this experience in
her application to Princeton University:
“I wrote about the interconnectedness of
people and how it wasn’t good enough to
be independent… and that if you didn’t
realize where your alliances were and
how to create those relationships, you
would not survive.”
She was admitted to Princeton and
studied chemical engineering for her first
three years, but changed her mind after a
summer job as a chemical engineer and
switched to biology.

Just moved in?
Her first job was teaching biology
to wealthy students at a school in Santa
Monica that focused on both performing
arts and science. She married her husband, Charles Rendleman, who had been
a student with her at Princeton, and she
moved with him to Houston, where he
worked for Exxon.
Rowe-Rendleman got into a graduate
program at the University of Houston.
She received a grant from the National
Science Foundation to fund a study of the
complications of diabetes, particularly
diabetic neuropathy.
When she finished her doctorate, she
started a fellowship at the University of
Texas in Houston, where she studied
ophthalmology.
Then her husband, a mathematical
physicist, was offered a position in California. She followed him after her fellowship was done and gave birth to their son,
David, and also started a second fellowship at the University of California San
Francisco Medical School. It was also in
ophthalmology, but this time focusing on
degenerative diseases: macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
After almost six years of training in these
diseases, Rowe-Rendleman was offered a
position at Geron, where she worked on a
cure for macular generation.
After a merger where everyone was
laid off, she moved into medical education at Sudler & Hennessey, where she
was in the division that educated physicians, nurses and patients about drugs
that affect the eye.

She was named a YWCA tribute winner in 2013. After the award, she shared
some ideas with Nancy Faherty, director
of advocacy and development, and soon
after was made a member of the board.
In her application to the board, RoweRendleman wrote about her interest in
bringing science to girls, something she
had done by creating competitive robotics teams with the Girl Scouts in West
Windsor. As leader of her daughter’s
troop from when Hunter was in fourth
grade, she wanted to do something a
little different when they were in tenth
grade: “I wanted to teach them management, and I wanted them to do something outside of their wheelhouse.”
Her idea was to start a robotics team
for younger girls, with her Girl Scouts
serving as managers and mentors, and it
turned out that the Girl Scout Council of
Central New Jersey had received a grant
from Motorola to fund and run two all-girl
robotics teams.
Rowe-Rendleman pushed to do
something similar at the YWCA. They
recruited coaches from the staff at
Princeton University and the Princeton
Plasma Physics Laboratory to teach the
girls everything they needed to know
about building and designing a robot,
but also how to keep a lab notebook and
how to work with a team.
The teams for 9 to 14 year olds did
well last year, and this year the YWCA
will have a third team for girls 14 to 18,
sponsored by a community partner, SES,
a satellite company. They will provide
space for the girls to build their robots
and mentor them on how to design and
properly,” she said.
Rowe-Rendleman did lots of international travel for the company, but with
David now 15, and her daughter, Hunter,
8, she realized they needed her, and she
started thinking about using her knowledge of the industry and medical communication to do something on her own
with ophthalmology. She started Omar
(an acronym for Opthalmic, Medical,
and Research Consulting) Consulting in
2006. Her first client was an ophthalmology company getting ready to send its
first product off to the FDA for approval.
That company was floundering, RoweRendleman said. Operations were not
talking to the lab scientists, and regulation was not speaking to the CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) folks.
She told the CEO bluntly that at his
company something was getting in the
way of getting a great drug onto the market; then she sat quietly, trying not to be
defensive, and he offered her work. She
successfully helped them get the drug
approved and started getting more clients through word of mouth.
Three years ago she decided to take
the company international and help
bring drugs developed elsewhere into
the U.S. market. She worked first with
Ono Pharmaceutical on a glaucoma
drug. The trials were completed in the
United States, and then the drug was
licensed to a large pharma company
for development.
To bring balance into her life, RoweRendleman helps out at organizations
in the community. Noting that now the
YWCA is her main volunteer activity,

to do community work, and use the board
as a way to “jumpstart themselves in different areas of management.”
“The things on their agenda may be different from our agenda,” Rowe-Rendleman
said. “They will be able to speak to us from
a whole different level of experience than
some of us have had, and they are going to
be able to bring a different way to communicate to the rest of the community.”
Rowe-Rendleman is also very active
in Princeton Area Alumni Association,
where she started as chair of the student
liaison committee, working with students and others who needed an alumni
presence at a campus event.
Rowe-Rendelman moved to West
Windsor over a decade ago when her
husband was offered a job at D. E. Shaw
Research. He also bears an important
similarity to her father, a meat packer,
who was, she said, “a quiet person who
supported the alpha female out there.”
Keeping busy outside of work is
essential Rowe-Rendelman said. “You
can’t work that hard without playing
equally as hard,” she said. “Volunteer
work is my play—I do it because I love
to do it and because there is a need, and
because I can see that people are being
helped by the work I am doing.”

The Christian college situated near
Philadelphia proved to be fertile formative grounds for Farrell, as its theater
program shaped her approach to the art
she loved—though she admits that the
full impact of her time as a student and
well-rounded thespian who was trained
to be equally adept both on stage and
behind the scenes didn’t fully register
until after she graduated in 2012.
“It’s very interesting, the way they do
things at Eastern: They’re very much about
being process-based instead of just quickly
throwing together a performance, putting it up and doing as many shows as we
can a year,” she said. “The way we learned
to work there was very much about nonverbal communication, and working as an
ensemble and having to relying on other
actors in the moment. It was steeped in
mindfulness—and, of course, I didn’t realize that until after I left.”

FARRELL continued from Page 1
Farrell has been a fixture in the area
for awhile now—she lived in Plainsboro
for awhile and also worked in the WW-P
School District Community Education
Department.
While she’s entrenched in the arts
council’s goings-on during the day, Farrell’s heart has been in the performance
arts since her last year as a high school
student; by the time she graduated,
she knew that theater was her calling.
She quickly made the transition from a
high school senior who had just found
her passion to a college freshmen who
found her way into the theatrical arts at
Eastern University.
“There’s something about being able
to step into someone else’s shoes in a
way that requires me to really get to
know what a character is feeling in certain moments that makes me want to do
it again and again,” Farrell said.
“This art of learning how to empathize and breathe life into something
and sharing that, it’s something innate
in human nature that’s a part of us,”
she said. “We want to tell stories and
we want to create something unique,
and the biggest part of that is being
able to create another being and put it
on stage, and then for me to come out
of that experience understanding little
more about humanity.”

thrown into a room with. Sometimes the
things that come out on the other end
are a little bit crazy but it’s something
that comes from someone else.”
She added that she feels like there
is a level of humanity and relatability to the things that are produced. “I
think the biggest thing that we learned
through that 24-hour process is that all
we have is time to trust,” she said.
Feeling the secondhand stress creep in
yet? Because there’s more: Farrell and her
Chalkboard Theatre Project cohorts have
added another layer of unpredictability
into the mix with a few secret last-minute
requirements they’ll soon unload on their
artists and demand from their plays.
“We’ll be throwing some curveballs
at our participants just so they don’t get
comfortable in the choices that they’ve
made in those 24-hour sessions,” Farrell said. “They’ll have to incorporate a
random prop or a line that just makes no
sense. Most of the time when we’ve done
this, those seemingly impossible additions makes the piece so much better
and just make the production unique.”
The high-stress process is familiar territory for the theater company
and the creative minds they’re relying on to make this upcoming experiment a successful milestone, which,
in turn, produces lively, unpredictable
performances that Farrell believes will
captivate those who come out for the
one-night-only show—and, of course,
introduce them to just one of the many
offerings that the West Windsor Arts
Council brings to its community.
“When I presented this idea to West
Windsor, they were really excited about
the possibility of bringing in a younger
crowd because this experiment process
is something that I think could really
grab the attention of a high school or college audience,” she said.
“The hope is that it will attract a new
demographic to the West Windsor Arts
Council, even if it’s just to even see the
space and all that’s possible there,” Ferrell said.
As for the Sideways Mandate Experiment, Farrell said it’s a chance to see
the creative process come to life in theater’s most raw form—while also catching a few plays that are truly one-timeonly affairs.
“A lot of these plays won’t ever
see the light of day again,” she said.
“These shows that started out as caffeine-fueled romps will only breathe
once and are theater in its prime state.
Actors don’t always get to show their
process so others understand why we
keep doing it again and again—this is
our chance to show off the delicious,
juicy end-stage payoff that’s the last
stop on the process.”
The Sideways Mandate Experiment
will premiere—and finale—Saturday,
July 23, at 8 p.m. in the West Windsor
Arts Center, 952 Alexander Road. Tickets are $12 each and can be purchased
at artful.ly/chalkboard-theatre-projectllc/store/events/9490. Visit westwindsorarts.org for more information about
the West Windsor Art Council, and

After slow start, Strype heats up at the plate for WW-P Legion team
BY RICH FISHER
When a guy is hitting .222 it may not
seem like a big deal. Consider, however,
that he was hitting .109 just seven games
earlier, and it becomes pretty impressive.
That was the saga of West Windsor
resident Ryan Strype this season, who
had just five hits in his first 46 at-bats
during WW-P’s first 16 games of the
Mercer County American Legion baseball season. In the next six, however,
Strype began getting some breaks and
hitting the ball the way he is capable,
collecting 9 hits in 17 at-bats to boost his
average 113 points in a week.
“It was mostly mental,” Strype said.
“Early in the season I was hitting the ball
hard, I was just hitting it at people. I was
thinking too much at plate. Now I kind
of just relax and get in the box and just
think, ‘Hit it hard and it will find grass.’”
It takes a special mindset for a player
to emerge from such an extended
slump. Especially considering it has
not been the best of seasons for WW-P,
which was 7-15 entering its final two
games of the year this week.
“He’s always willing to tweak different things to get better at the plate,”
said first-year manager Justin Ely. “He’s
the type of guy who doesn’t get deflated
Ryan Str ype got off to a slow
start but managed to increase his
average by 113 points in one week.
either. He struggled early in the year. As
far as getting balls to land, he was hitting
bullets right at guys.”
Strype had a simple explanation for
how he does that.
“Baseball you pretty much play every
day and get two to three at bats every
day,” he said. “So I just thought, ‘You got
the next one, you got the next one.’ It’s
not like I’m never going to get another
at-bat, or I’m never going to play another
game. I knew if I focused, I’d get back
on track.”
Strype began playing baseball in the
West Windsor Little League, and played
for the 10-year-old District 12 championship team. He soon went to travel baseball, where he played for the New Jersey
Elite.
He opted for Babe Ruth over travel
and played with the West WindsorPlainsboro 14-year-old All Stars. That
group reached the District One finals
and, needing just one win for a title, it
dropped both games to Ewing-Hopewell.
From there Strype played for Grover
Middle School and opted for legion ball
the summer before his freshman year at
Hun. He played JV in 9th grade and got
some time on varsity as a junior. He also
returned to travel ball for two more years
before coming back to legion this season.
This past spring, he became the Raiders’ full-time catcher after years of playing predominantly first base.
“I caught a little bit in little league and
when I played travel for 13s, I caught
mainly,” he said. “For Hun they needed
a catcher this year, my coach asked and I
just went for it.
It was a struggle at the beginning,
I wasn’t the best at blocking the ball. I
didn’t have the strongest arm but during
the season it got easier and I got better.”
Strype helped improve himself by
catching bullpen sessions for the pupils
of former Steinert great Mike Rogers,
who is now a pitching instructor. “That
helped me get used to it,” he said.
By season’s end, Strype decided to
play legion again. “I didn’t want to play
travel, I kind of wanted to stay close by,”
he said.
Ely could not be happier to have
Strype on board. He was aware of his
capabilities, and when he was putting
out the word that players were needed,
Ryan was one of the guys he had his
sites set on. “He leads by example and
he keeps other guys in the game,” the
manager said.
With the season having ended this
week, Strype is now preparing for some
college visits and will look for a summer
job. Although Ely feels Strype has the
potential to play college ball, Strype has
pretty much ruled it out.
“Last summer I was on a team where
you go to showcases and it was just
a lot,” he said. “I don’t feel like I was
dedicated enough. This year will probably be my last year of baseball. I’ll
play at Hun and I’ll definitely be back
playing legion.

Real Estate Insights with Donna Reilly & Ellen Calman
Strength In Pending Home Sales
The National Association of
Realtors (NAR) confirmed that
pending home sales — a forwardlooking indicator based on contract
signings — rose solidly to their
highest level in seven months
and higher too than during the
same month in 2015, indicating a
progressive real estate forecast for
this year.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief
economist, says pending sales
have made promising strides,
rising to the highest index reading
since last July. “After some
volatility this winter, the latest data
is encouraging in that a decent
number of buyers signed contracts
last month, lured by mortgage
rates dipping to their lowest levels
in nearly a year and a modest,
seasonal uptick in inventory.
“Looking ahead, the key for
sustained momentum and more
sales than last year is a continuous
stream of new listings quickly
replacing what’s being scooped
up by a growing pool of buyers.
Without adequate supply, sales will
likely plateau.”
Existing-homes sales this year
are forecast to be around 5.38
million, an increase of 2.4 percent
from 2015, while the national
median existing-home price for all
of this year is expected to increase
between four and five percent.
Donna Reilly, left, and Ellen Calman
In 2015, existing-home sales
increased 6.3 percent and prices
rose 6.8 percent.

About twenty years ago, the Princeton
Corridor Rotary Club decided that it was
time to begin the formal documentation
of the history of one of central New Jersey’s most important areas: West Windsor Township.
Few people, if any, claimed that West
Windsor was as important as Princeton,
but many felt it was significant, nonetheless, and so a major effort was made to
report on its two-centuries of history.
To implement this idea, Barbara Evans,
who was the Secretary of the Princeton
Corridor Rotary Club and also the West
Windsor Township Clerk, arranged with
historian Henry Innes MacAdam to write
and produce history of West Windsor in
time for its bicentennial celebration in 1997.
That was nearly two decades ago, and
it is safe to say that many current residents of West Windsor have either forgotten all about the book or never heard
of it in the first place. Here is the story.
The book is “West Windsor, Then and
Now, by Henry Innes MacAdam.” It contains 116 pages with a format of 8-1/2 X
11 inches. At the time it was published
in 1997, it was distributed widely in West
Windsor and nearby areas. To be honest, I don’t recall what it cost at the time.
(Today, I’ve seen a copy available on the
internet for $26.95.) It was published by
The Princeton Corridor Rotary Club.
The book begins with an extensive
description of the geology of this part
of central New Jersey and the Millstone
River valley in particular. As I have mentioned many times, it is the Millstone
River that forms the boundary between
West Windsor and Plainsboro townships. MacAdam explains how organizations such as the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed Association have been
instrumental in determining the geological history of the area and implementing
plans to help preserve it.
Also important to the description of
the West Windsor area are its archaeology and anthropology. Included in
the book are references to “prehistoric
occupation of this part of Central New
Jersey.” In fact it was the discovery of
artifacts attributed to Native Americans
in the area that contributed to the failure
of the Millstone Bypass idea to reduce
traffic at the traffic circle at Route 1 and
Washington Road.
As for the important features of the
West Windsor landscape, I have discussed some of these before, including
the presence of the many small streams
in the area and the flatness of its terrain.
But to provide more detail on the history
of the terrain we have, it would be useful to quote from the description given in
MacAdam’s book:
“The district we now call West Windsor first witnessed human settlement
at about the same time that the great
glaciers of the northern hemisphere
responded to an earlier era of global
warming and began to melt. The retreating icefields left great swaths of landscape with characteristic features which
can now be charted in our region. From
the Middle Atlantic States northward
toward what became the Great Lakes
this massive ‘meltdown’ continued for
centuries, eventually thawing the monstrous sheets of ice through to Canada
and beyond, ultimately to the frozen
wastes of today’s Arctic region where
remnants of the last Ice Age still linger.”
The book provides much more of this
fascinating account of West Windsor’s
geological history and then moves on
to the first human habitation of the area.
Naturally, this includes the sequence of
events that led to the use of the area for
farming to support that population.
It’s interesting to realize that two of
the present boundaries of West Windsor follow the natural ones traced by the
Millstone River and Stony Brook. And,
of course, one of the main boundaries of
Plainsboro is that same Millstone River.
A very important part of West Windsor’s history is the ownership of the land
and the role it played during the early
history that included the American Revolutionary War. Much of the New Jersey
area had belonged to William Penn as
of 1693, and on his death in 1718 it was
inherited by his three sons. But before
Penn and other Europeans settled in the
area, the native population was what was
later referred to as the Lenape.
An important feature of the West
Windsor story as told in this book is
the way it is divided into chapters that
treat important era’s of its history and
development. These chapters are titled:
Exploration, Formation, Consolidation,
and Assimilation.
The chapter on exploration deals with
the time when much of eastern North
America was being settled by Europeans, a time often referred to as the
“Colonial” era. “Formation” refers to the
transformation of the area to a legally
constituted part of what became the
United States following the Revolutionary War. The chapter “Consolidation”
has the subtitle “Families, Faith, and
Farmsteads” which aptly describes what
happened in what became West Windsor during the time leading up to the
mid-twentieth cintury. “Assimilation”
discusses how West Windsor became
and continues to be assimilated with the
its surroundings. An mporatant section
of that chapter is “Government, Social
Issues, and Education.”
All told, West Windsor, Then and
Now is a remarkably thorough presentation of the local community as it existed
at the time of its 200th anniversary a
couple of decades ago. For anyone who
has not seen it or does not own a copy,
I recommend it without hesitation. For
those who are relucatant to read history
because of its possible political slant,
don’t worry, this book is as non-political
as a book can be.
