School Budget OKd Despite 2 Dissenters
T
he budget was the hot topic
at the March 11 WW-P
school board meeting, with
state aid, budget caps, and process
fueling the debate.
The budget presented was virtually the same as the one presented at the February 18 board meeting, with one exception. As assistant superintendent for finance
Larry Shanok explained, “The
state just sent us information regarding how much state aid we
will be receiving this year. And,
unexpectedly, the amount has
gone up from last year” — a total
of $7,961,085, an increase of approximately $200,000 over last
year.
Shanok explained that this additional aid will be allocated to
special education instruction and
transportation (for those students
transported to out-of-district
schools). The total proposed budget for 2014-’15 will be
$164,625,300, an increase of 1.34
percent over last year’s budget.

S
cience became a hot topic for
the West Windsor-Plainsboro
School Board, at both the
March 12 board meeting and a
March 13 “Coffee with the Principal” at High School North.
At the board meeting the conceptual physics class, taught by
Danielle Bugge of High School
South, gave a presentation demonstrating how a hands-on approach
has been utilized to encourage students to learn physics concepts and
also to learn to love science. The
students demonstrated their rocket
launch project, as well as how the
donation of a high-speed camera
has enhanced their learning by allowing them to look back at experiments and view results not visible
to the naked eye.
The students said that this class
has helped them learn independence and life skills, reinforced the
21st-century competencies, and allowed them to retain the information better than if it was just presented in lecture format.
By contrast, another science
class that attempts to teach students
through a non-traditional, hands-

For taxpayers this means a total
tax levy increase of 2.35 percent,
the maximum allowed under New
Jersey state law.
“We have to balance the idea of
fiscal restraint with the impact on
students, particularly class size
considerations,” said Shanok. “If
you compare West WindsorPlainsboro to other high-performing school districts, our student-

to-teacher ratio is higher than all
of them, and our student-to-administrator ratio of 247 to 1 is significantly higher than even the
next highest district. And yet our
actual per pupil costs are in the
middle. Some districts, such as

on methodology has not been receiving such high accolades.
Several parents appeared at the
board meeting to express concern
over the honors biology pilot program, currently in place at High
School North. This program, which
was begun during the second half
of 2013, is being offered in all biology classes taught by teachers
Robert Corriveau and Kristina Nicosia (including their college prep
biology courses). And many of the
parents whose students are enrolled
in these classes — and the students
themselves — have expressed dissatisfaction with the course.
At the board meeting, though
parents did acknowledge that the
programs’ goals — to teach students to think independently and to
allow for individualized teaching
of students — are certainly laudable, they expressed concerns
about how the course is being implemented. Said parent Yingchao
Zhang, “When we are making curriculum decisions, we need to con-

sider how students learn, and how
they can learn better. We need to be
very careful and move slowly. We
should have a full evaluation of a
pilot program and obtain feedback

to skills?’
from the students, parents, and others, before we claim ‘success.’”
“I have a ninth grader in honors
bio,” said Adam Baker. “And it has
been a very poor experience for
him. I have heard nothing positive
from any parent whose child is in
this class. The teachers are good;
it’s the new style of teaching, the
new methodology, which is the
problem. There is a real disconnect
between the goals of the pilot and

the reality. The teachers are very
slow to give feedback to the students because it is difficult to manage all of these projects. There is a
lot of down time for the students,
and they are losing their enthusiasm. Before we expand this type of
pilot program to honors chemistry
or any other subject, we should
make sure we have it right in biology first.”
Another
parent, Angelina
Caldwell, noted that “the students
are learning good skills but not
enough basic information. It is
great that the district is willing to
try new things, and you are to be
applauded for that, but we need to
assess these types of programs to
make sure they are really working.
Are the students really learning
knowledge as opposed to skills?”
Board president Tony Fleres responded. “One of the strengths of
this district is our concerned parents, who work with us for the benefit of our students. I thank all of
you for coming here.”
Princeton, spend more per pupil,
and others, such as Montgomery
and South Brunswick, spend less.
We are not anxious to increase our
student to teacher and administrator ratios much more, because our
students will surely be negatively
impacted.”
Board of Education president
Tony Fleres justified the proposed
tax levy increase. “For the past
two years we have had the perfect
storm of events that allowed us to
have a zero percent tax levy increase, or even a reduction, especially because previously we had
to budget for the charter school,
which never materialized, so we
hadn’t needed to spend the money
on the charter school. Now we no
longer budget for that, so the
money is no longer available for
future tax relief. But we knew that
this couldn’t go on indefinitely —
costs and expenses continue to
increase, and we are at the point
where if we don’t increase the

Superintendent David Aderhold
also thanked the parents and invited them to a follow-up meeting at
High School North to further discuss the concerns with the honors
biology program. Though he would
not promise an immediate resolution, he assured parents that he
would listen carefully to their concerns and address them.
Approximately 150 parents attended that follow-up meeting,
which was one of the four “Coffee
with the Principal” meetings hosted and sponsored by the North Parent, Teacher, and Students Association (PTSA). And the tone was decidedly less formal at this meeting.
Aderhold, Assistant Superintendent Martin Smith, Science Curriculum Supervisor Rebecca
McLelland-Crawley, Principal Michael Zapicchi, and many members
of the board of education were in
attendance.
PTSA President Suparna Mahableshawarkar explained, “we host

During the Korean War, she and

my father. He was her boss, but he

education, though it was disrupted
by the civil war.
When the war ended, with his

after graduating, she married him.

her; and any kind of Korean community simply did not exist in central Michigan in the early ’60s,
where we settled for our first years
in America. There were no Korean
grocery stores. Every few months,
her mother — my grandmother —
would send us huge brown packages laden with the smells and
tastes of the old country. Sometimes there would be a small toy or
treasure for my brother and me. But
mostly those packages were fragrant with red pepper powder to
pickle kimchee at home. We
breathed in the scent of seaweed in
flat sheets and the salted dried
squid that my mother would roast
over the open flame on the stove.
I can’t begin to imagine how
lonely my mother must have been,
with my father at work all day and
only two small children for company. How she must have pined for
the sweet familiarity of home and
eagerly breathed in the love packed
in those brown boxes that traveled
over the Pacific Ocean. I think of
my mom like one of the pioneer
women of the old, Wild West —
steadfast and strong, making a new
life in a strange land with courage.
I remember so wanting to be like
the other kids. I invited three of my
best friends from first grade over
for lunch one day, and told my
mother to make American food. I
remember walking into the house,
peeking into the kitchen, and seeing the table set for four. The
Campbell’s chicken noodle soup
was steaming from the bowls, and
four plates were laden with sandwiches, an American food she had
learned how to make. But I told her
that Ann’s mother had invited us
and she was going to make pizza,
so never mind about lunch.

ne of our earliest collective set
of memories — my brother
and I — involve the Saturday
morning driving lessons my father
would give my mother in our 1964
Plymouth. I still hear the whine of
the engine, the switching of the
gears and my father’s impatient
voice. How I hated those mornings,
trapped in the back seat by loud
voices, wishing we were home
watching cartoons. It would be
years before my mother would
drive, and even then, reluctantly.
I also used to be so impatient
with my mother for what I perceived to be her passivity in letting
my dad be the boss of everything.
“Why don’t you stand up for yourself,” I would grumble, with my
mid-’70s feminist sensitivities.
“Why do you have to serve him his
food on a tray so he can watch the
news? Why do you have to iron his
shirts every morning? Let him do it
himself!” She would respond in her
sweet way, “I don’t have to do it, I
want to do it. He’s your dad.”
Now I get it, because I find my
mother in myself all the time. They
say it will happen and you want to
deny its truth, but it is indeed the
way of mothers and daughters and
time. Like my mom, I do everything in my power to make the lives
of my loved ones happy and comfortable. I serve them food on a tray
(sometimes) and I would iron a
fresh shirt for Bill if he wanted (he
would rather send them to the dry
cleaner, thank goodness). The best
thing I have learned about being a
mom is from my own mom, who is
this family’s original Suburban
Mom. She’s the best and way more
kind and patient — and beautiful
— yes, I have heard it so — than I
will ever be. So happy birthday, my
dear mother, my Ummah.

Before Other Projects,
Bury the Utility Poles
S
everal years ago, there was a very brief,
passing discussion regarding burying the
power / utility poles in the commercial district
of Princeton Junction. I know this because I
mentioned it.
Linda Geevers stated “it would be too expensive.” Really? Did she have any cost estimates?
As previously written, this cost seems not
to have bothered Princeton, Plainsboro, Robbinsville, and many other area communities.
If West Windsor is (still) the Best Town in
the World, why has this initiative not progressed? Because the mayor didn’t think of
it? He has had 20 years or more than 7,300
days to do something.
By contrast, the public gets three minutes
every two weeks to make constructive suggestions.
This should be a much higher priority over
the Asian Pocket Park. Perhaps with the power poles removed, we can grow and harvest
bamboo along both sides of the roadway?
Subterranean utilities should be considered before any new paving is done through
the commercial district. Under no circumstances should the county do the paving because its quality of construction is reprehensible. Fact.

F
or some, the month of March will represent the end to a very snowy winter. To
others, it will mean the start of March Madness, the college basketball tournaments.
However what many New Jersey citizens
might not realize is that March is also National Developmental Disabilities Awareness
Month, an opportunity to highlight and recognize the abilities and accomplishments of individuals with intellectual and development
disabilities across the state. This recognition,
originally declared via proclamation in 1987
by President Ronald Reagan, provides an occasion for self-advocates, families, and advocacy organizations like the Arc of New Jersey
to raise awareness about developmental disabilities and the challenges these individuals
face.
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are your neighbors. They
are employed by your local businesses and
they attend services with you at your place of
worship. Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities belong in the community, living integrated lives with families
and friends. National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month is a chance to take
a second look at accessibility in your town, or
at ways you can increase inclusivity on a

in Troop 66, earned the Den Chief
service award for his service to den
1 during three years.
Pack 48 families have come together through the past year with
several projects serving the local
community, such as cleaning up local hiking trails, mulching the playground for the Cherry Tree Club,
and a food drive benefiting the Crisis Ministry for food pantries in
Trenton and Princeton.
Leaders and scouts from Troops
40 and 66 attended to welcome
their new members. Pastor Peter
Froehlke, who joined the Prince of
Peace Church this past year, addressed the gathering. Pack meetings are regularly held at the Prince
of Peace Church on PrincetonHightstown Road in West Windsor.

with audience participation.
ijay Singh, 13, of West
Windsor has written and
published a book. “The Chassmistic Chronicle” is a 160-page
book available in paperback at
www.lulu.com.
“I have been writing for three
years,” he says. “I carry a notebook with me, and I write my
ideas in it.” Singh is an eighth
grader at Grover Middle School.
Singh sums up the story: The
main character of the book, Calvin King, has a divorced mom
and no siblings. He is best friends
with a boy named Joey Lee and
his twin sisters Megan and Sarah. He soon realizes that Joey is
part of a group called the Titoms,
who are at war with a group
called the Chassims. Once Calvin goes into Joey’s room, he
finds a stone that electrocutes its
power into Calvin, making him a
Titom. Joey brings Megan, Sar-
ah, and Calvin to a training academy for Titoms.
His parents are Vaishali and
Sharad Singh. His father is an
investment banker at UBS, and
his mother is a nurse at the University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro.

Will the New Mortgage Rules Affect You?
s we enter spring — traditionally the busiest real estate season — it’s important to make sure buyers and
sellers work with a qualified real
estate representative who will
help clarify the new legal and
regulatory changes in the mortgage market.
Learning from recent history,
where a great many mortgages
were given to consumers without enough regard to the consumer’s ability to repay those
loans, there is now greater emphasis placed on an ability-topay mandate. For example, the
Consumer Financial Protection
Bureau (CFPB) issued a rule,
effective January 10 of this year,
to implement laws requiring
mortgage lenders to consider
the consumer’s ability to repay
home loans before extending
them credit.
It’s important to understand
the key elements of the new
rules and regulations. Here are
just some — please call today
for an in-depth explanation of all
the changes and to find out how
they may apply to you and your
real estate plans.
Ability-to-Repay Determinations. The CFPB designed this
regulation to ensure that every
borrower is a qualified borrower,
based on the buyer’s income,
assets, credit history, and financial obligations.
Decrease in FHA Loan Limits. The Federal Housing Administration lowered its maximum
loan limits for higher-priced
properties. Homebuyers looking
for a larger loan may now have
to apply for a jumbo loan, likely
with a larger down payment.
Tighter Regulations for the
Self-Employed. Being your own
boss brings a number of great
advantages, but it also has issues specific to loans.
Let’s ensure you understand
all your mortgage loan requirements before even starting
your hunt for a new home. And
remember, up to the minute

rank J. Cox, 76, of Lawrenceville died at his home on
March 6. Born in Trenton, he was
raised in Princeton and moved to
Lawrenceville in 1988. Cox’s
mother worked for RCA in West
Windsor and his father ran a
men’s clothing store on the corner of Nassau and Chambers
streets from 1936 until the mid1980s.
He was a graduate of Princeton High School in 1955 and the
FBI National Academy in 1977.
Cox, who began his law enforcement career in 1962 with Princeton Township Police Department, was tapped to be the first
officer in the newly formed West
Windsor Police Department in
1968. Often patrolling in his own
car, he served as lieutenant and
was appointed chief in 1980.
Toward the end of his career as
police chief, he became the interim business administrator of
West Windsor Township.
Prior to his law enforcement
career, Cox worked for Opinion
Research Corporation in Princeton doing developmental research with various corporations
on personnel issues. He told the
News that work helped give him
insight into management and
people skills that would later become valuable in his career as a
police administrator.

MARCH 21, 2014
the first time that Board elections
were held in November, instead of
April, which made it difficult to
schedule a budget retreat, especially since four of the nine board
members are newly elected and just
took office in January.
Superintendent David Aderhold
also spoke on the process issue.
“Normally, I do not comment on
budget discussions between board
members, but there are a few points
I would like to make. First, while
Shanok does work on the budget,
he is not the only one — literally
hundreds of my staff members
work on the budget every year.
Moreover, to say we didn’t have a
budget process is disingenuous at
best. We have been working on this
budget for over a year, and we have
had many, many conversations
about it, as we always do. In fact,
the budget process for the 2015-’16
budget has already begun.”
“In addition, I stand behind this
budget. We are allowed to go to a
2.35 percent tax levy increase, and
I support that. In the future, I frankly see more increases. We will have
to cut essential services if we don’t
go to the cap limit. It was not an
easy decision for the administration to make, and I know it is not an
easy decision for the board to make.
But if we are going to cut essential
programs and services for our students, I simply cannot stand behind
that. We have to do what is right for
the students,” he added.
The Board ultimately voted 7 to
2 to send the proposed budget to the
county for review with Powell and
Feldman-Hurwitz casting the dissenting votes. Once the county reviews and ultimately approves the
budget, it will be sent back to the
board, which will hold a public
budget hearing on Tuesday, April
29.

SAT Advice from a Mother Who’s Been There
A
person’s reaction to the SAT
depends on their age. To a
16-year-old, it is another
hurdle between high school and the
college of their dreams. For college
students it’s almost taboo: it takes a
pretty pathetic person to continue
gloating about SAT scores after
they’ve made it to college. And to
most people over the age of 30, it’s
a long-forgotten piece of your past
— until it comes time for your own
teenage children to take it.
That is what happened to Debbie
Stier, a divorced mother of two
teenage children in Westchester
County with a day job in book publishing. By her own admission, she
did terribly on the SAT when she
took it as a high school student in
1982. Her scores of 410 on the verbal section and 480 on math translated to a score of 1000 out of 1600
after the scale was recentered in
1995.
But that’s not why she set out to
retake the SAT as a 48-year-old.
Her “perfect score project” came
about when she realized that her
son Ethan’s chances of getting into
— and being able to pay for — college hinged on his ability to get
merit aid. And for her ADHD-addled son who confessed to being
perfectly happy sliding by with Bs,
she decided his best chance for
scholarship money would come
from a top SAT score.
As part of her effort to prepare
her son, Stier took the SAT all seven times it was offered in 2011,
raised her score by more than 300
points, and lived to tell the tale in
her book, “The Perfect Score Project,” published earlier this year by
Harmony ($19.26 on Amazon).
She also maintains a blog at perfectscoreproject.com. In an ap-
pearance sponsored by the High
School South PTSA, Stier visited
South on March 19 to share with
parents what she learned from her
experience and to answer their
questions and concerns.
Stier explained the motivation
and ground rules for her project: “I
thought maybe I could motivate
Ethan to care about the SAT, just a
little, if I climbed into the trenches
myself.
“Initially, though, the number of
test-prep options left me agog (over
a million on Google). My original
idea was to try out twelve different
methods of test prep the year before
Ethan would be taking his first
SAT. But as I saw how vast and
complicated the realm of SAT prep
appeared to be, I kept adding layers
to the idea. What was at first simply
the notion of taking an official SAT
at school with the kids mushroomed into a vow to take the test
every time it was offered in 2011
(seven times in all). And, I’d try out
different locations for each test,
which turned out to be a total of
five. (I didn’t anticipate the issue of
test centers booking up early and
ended up having to repeat a few). I
wanted to see if the location played
any role in the test experience, so I
chose schools ranging from an elite
private school in the suburbs to an
urban public school in the Bronx.
“My journey would start with
the first SAT of 2011, on January
22, and Ethan would take his first
SAT exactly one year after me — in
January of 2012. We’d overlap in
our preparation about halfway
through the year because (a) juniors take the PSAT in the fall (October of 2011 for Ethan; SAT No. 5
for me), so he’d need to study; and
(b) I know my son well enough to
realize he does better with some
spare runway to build momentum.
“In spite of the escalating nature
of the project, I was excited about
the ‘study together’ part and assumed that by halfway through the
year, with four SAT experiences
under my belt, I’d have my bearings and be able to adroitly show
my son ‘the SAT ropes.’
“Let’s clarify something from
the start, though: I did not expect
Ethan to pull off a perfect SAT
score (though I wouldn’t have discouraged him from trying had he
wanted to do so of his own accord).
I found that by putting the pressure
on myself, not on him, I was able to
hold the bar reasonably high without having to nag or push (too
much). I was “modeling” the behavior that I was hoping to cultivate in my son. In the end Ethan
came up with his own number,
which we both agreed was the right
one.”
I
n preparing for the test Stier tried
everything from the College
Board’s Question of the Day to Kumon math worksheets, Kaplan online test prep, and tutors and SAT
“experts” she found through her
blog, and the highly touted tutors
from Advantage Testing. Taking
the 2400-point SAT introduced in
2005 (and soon to be changed back
to the 1600-point format) Stier
brought her score from 1800 (680
critical reading, 510 math, 610
writing) in January, 2011, to top
scores of 760 on critical reading,
570 on math, and 800 on writing.
Some of the advice for students
and parents Stier offers throughout
her book:
Test location matters. A venue
where students are grouped in
smaller classrooms is preferable to
one where all test takers are in a
gymnasium or cafeteria. Centers
offering full-size desks also make it
easier to organize test materials.
Study from real SATs. The
College Board publishes a blue
book with full-length practice tests.
Complete them, mimicking actual
testing conditions as closely as
possible.
Conquer the College Board.
The College Board website (www.
collegeboard.com) has a wealth of
useful information and practice
materials, but they can be hard to
find. Once you have it, bookmark it
for easy access in the future.
Connect with your kid. “Most
teenagers are more interested in
their friends than in their parents
and the SAT,” Stier writes. “In fact,
the more into their friends they are,
the harder it will be to get their attention. A peer-oriented teenager
will need more enthusiasm and initiative from the parent to become
motivated than the one who is oriented toward adults.”
“Remain interested and involved, even if your teenager is resistant,” she continues. “Research
shows that adolescents do better

academically when parents are involved beyond monitoring homework.”
Pick the right prep book. A
good SAT prep book will be written
by a true SAT expert — not just a
prolific author with a PhD — and
will use materials from real SATs.
The book should address goals and
strategies in addition to basic skills.
Pick the right tutor. Like a
good prep book, a good tutor is
highly familiar with the SAT and
teaches both skills and strategy.
The tutor should be able to pick up
on a student’s strength and weaknesses and tailor their approach.
And any good tutor should be able
to supply ample references attesting to their strong work.

Development Projects on Deck in WW
W
by Sue Roy
ith West Windsor expecting plans
from Toll Brothers for a mixed-use
development on the Maneely
property south of Old Bear Brook Road, traffic changes are in the works for the adjacent
neighborhood.
Land use manager Sam Surtees explained
Old Bear Brook Road will be repaved and
closed off at Alexander and will become a
cul-de-sac, meaning there will be no access
to the new development via Alexander and
Old Bear Brook. A traffic circle will be constructed at the intersection of Bear Brook and
Old Bear Brook roads and will include a notyet-built access road to the new development.
The neighborhood will be connected to
nearby Princeton Junction Train Station and
its New South parking lot in an important
way. “There will be a widening of the sidewalk on the Bear Brook side,” said Surtees,
“and it will be continued, along with the bike
path to connect to the Vaughn Drive area. A
boardwalk will be constructed over the wetlands there, so that cyclists and pedestrians
will be able to travel across them to the parking lot and beyond. Construction for this
pathway has already begun and should be
finished quickly, weather permitting.”
The Toll Brothers development will in-
clude 51 luxury townhouses, 40 apartments
above 20,000 square feet of retail, and 188
corporate suites (in an “extended-stay hotel”
to be run by Toll Brothers).
The development will also include 72
Project Freedom apartments, allocated to
physically disabled low-income residents.
Surtees explained that while Toll Brothers
would be responsible for all other construction, Project Freedom will build its 72 apartments.
“Toll Brothers will likely be presenting its
conceptual site plan this spring, for review
by the Planning Board, architects and engineers, and the public,” Surtees said. “Project
Freedom will come in on its own, sometime
in the future, with its own site plan relating to
the 72 apartments. As of yet, we have no indication of when that will happen.”
I

one of the township’s pumping stations, the
one located at Avalon Watch. This will result
in cost savings for the township, because the
operating cost to run sewer lines is cheaper
than running pump stations,” Surtees added.
West Windsor: Zero Increase Budget
T
he proposed 2014 township budget
was introduced at the March 17 West
Windsor Town Council meeting, by
unanimous vote. Unlike the budget proposed by Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh and the
administration, which had a 1.33 percent tax
increase, the Council’s amended budget offers a zero percent tax levy increase.
To hold the line on taxes, Council increased the revenue line items in several categories, most notably by raising the amount
the township expects to collect from Uniform Construction Code fees to $1 million.
In addition, the council approved the use of
roughly $185,000 from the fund balance reserve. Of this amount, about $101,000 is expected to be regained by increased revenues
from court fees and fines from greater police
activity. The fees collected in 2013 were unusually low, mainly because the police department had to fill five vacancies caused by
retirement, and the new hires spent a large
portion of the year at the police academy.
Police Chief Joe Pica agreed with the
council’s projected revenue increase with a
fully staffed force. There has already been a
greater police presence along Cranbury
Road in order to deter speeding, and more
tickets have been issued.
A public hearing on the budget will occur
at the Monday, April 28 council meeting.
Two other budget measures were addressed. First, an ordinance to exceed the
municipal budget appropriation limits and to
establish a cap bank was unanimously introduced. Business administrator Marlena
Schmid explained in a follow-up interview
that this item is approved every year as a
sound financial planning tool. Its purpose is
to allow any unspent surplus to be carried
forward to the following year, to be added to
the fund balance. Public hearing on this ordinance will also be held on April 28.
In addition, by a vote of 5 to 0, council
authorized a measure allowing for the local
examination of the 2014 budget, which the
state allows for two out of every three years.
During the third year, the state examines the
township’s budget. This option is only available to towns deemed to be fiscally sound.
Ellsworth Update. In other matters, the
Council also agreed to the release and termination of some restrictive covenants on the
Ellsworth property, which is a necessary
precursor to the redevelopment of the site.
“During a routine title search, the Ellsworth Corporation discovered the existence
of restrictive covenants dating back to
1949,” said Schmid. “These covenants, associated with the two residential lots adjacent to the current shopping center, prohibit
commercial uses on these lots. As part of the
redevelopment plan, one of these lots will be
made into a parking lot and the other a stormwater management basin. The covenants
have to be lifted before this can go forward.”
“Also adjacent to the property is a 22-acre
parcel of open space which is owned by the
township,” Schmid said. “This property was
purchased not only with township funds, but
also with funds from Mercer County and the
state Green Acres program. As part of the redevelopment plan, Ellsworth has agreed to
make this parcel into the first handicappedaccessible park in West Windsor. However,
because county and state Green Acres funds
were used, the county and the state must also
approve the lifting of the restrictive covenants on the adjacent properties, which
makes this a little more complicated.”
Now that the township has approved the
release and termination of the covenants,
Ellsworth will need the same approvals from
Mercer County and the state DEP. “Here at
the township, we are all looking forward to
the day when Ellsworth can start breaking
ground,” said Schmid, noting that the project
would be an asset to the whole township.
Other Council Business. A professional
services agreement between the township
and engineering firm Parsons Brinckerhoff
was also approved for an engineering inspection of the Grover’s Mill Dam, required
annually under state DEP rules, at a cost of
$9,628.
In addition, the council approved a contract with Greenleaf Landscape Systems and
Services for the maintenance of townshipowned cul-de-sac islands and street trees at a
cost of $82,520.
In other news, the Council appointed
three substitute township prosecutors for a
one-year term: William T. McGovern, Lyle
P. Hough Jr., and Alfred B. Vuocolo Jr. The
Council also reappointed Drewe Schoenholtz as an advisor on the Shade Tree Commission for a one-year term.
Finally, an ordinance relating to the rental
of Schenk Farmstead was introduced. Only
West Windsor residents and businesses will
be allowed to rent Schenk Farmstead, which
can accommodate up to 50 people. The rental amounts being charged will offset the
costs of insurance, maintenance, utilities,
and custodial services for use of the facilities.
After some discussion, council members
agreed that the proposed rental rates should
be as follows: social events, $400; weddings, $700; non-profit events, $250; and
corporate events, $500. A refundable security fee of $300 will also be required.
The public hearing on this ordinance will
be held at the council meeting on Monday,
March 31, at 7 p.m.

Spring Sports: The Season at a Glance
by Samantha Sciarrotta
T
he snow has finally melted,
and just in time — the spring
sports season is starting, and
High School North and High
School South squads are eager to
get outside. The crosstown rivals
won’t have to wait long to see how
their athletes compare as several
teams will face off during the first
days of the season.
Baseball: South and North will
meet twice this spring, in an earlyseason matchup on Tuesday, April
1, at South, and again on Saturday,
May 17, at North. North went 5-14
last year with a young team and returns its star pitcher, senior Christian Waters. South hopes to build
on a 16-9 season that included a trip
to the Mercer County Tournament
final, where the team lost to Notre
Dame, 7-3. The Pirates also advanced to the Group 4 quarterfinal,
though they will be working
through losses of ace Paul Balestrieri — now pitching for Cornell —
Mark Sitek, and Pat Boyle, all of
whom graduated in 2013.
Softball: The softball teams are
working with similar goals. North
went 4-13 last year, and South finished just above .500 at 10-9. Pirates starting pitcher Rachel Gagliardo had a solid 2013 and returns
this spring to finish out her high
school career. The softball teams
will also bookend their seasons
with crosstown matchups. North
plays at South on Tuesday, April 1,
and at home on Thursday, May 15.
Golf: Both schools’ boys’ and
girls’ golf teams followed their
trend of success last season. The
North boys went 10-4, and the girls
went 9-6 with then-freshman Saa-

chi Bedi as one of the team’s keys.
The South boys finished 12-3,
while the girls had the best finish of
them all, an undefeated 13-0. Jessi
Musumeci led the squad as a freshman and should continue her dominance this season. The boys’ golf
teams meet Tuesdays, April 1 and
29. The girls’ golf teams meet on
Wednesdays, May 7 and 14.
Lacrosse: In boys’ lacrosse,
North finished at 6-12, while South
finished at 12-5. The Pirates made
it to the quarterfinal round of both
the Mercer County and Group 3
tournaments. The North girls had a
stellar 2013 season, finishing at 172 and handing crosstown rival
South (8-10) a 21-7 defeat in the
quarterfinals of the Mercer County
Tournament. North ended its season with a loss in the Group 4 tournament quarterfinal. Both teams
face off on Saturday, April 12. Senior star Olivia Harpel returns to
lead the Knights.
Boys’ Tennis: The perennially
successful boys’ tennis teams will
meet twice in 2014: at South on
Wednesday, April 2, and at North
on Monday, May 5. The North
boys’ tennis team finished 12-8, including two losses to South, while
the Pirates ended the season at 202. North placed fifth in the county
tournament and South came out on
top for the ninth time in 10 years.
Kristian Dudchak was North’s
youngest player last season as a
sophomore and went further than
any other North player in the county tournament. Much of the team
returns this year, as seven of the
nine starters were juniors last year.
Just one player, Nihal Narsipur,
graduated.
South lost Thomas Weng, last
year’s county second singles champion, and Dan Vaysburd, half of the
first doubles county champion
team, but Michael Song, Martin
Malik, Raymond Fan, and Yuefeng
Zhu will be back.
Boys’ Volleyball: North plays at
South on Tuesday, April 1, and
plays host to the Pirates on Thursday, April 17. The Knights were
11-8 last year, and the Pirates were
7-14.

Raising the Red
Flag in ‘Les Miz’
P
layful Theater Productions
presents “Les Miserables,” a
musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo, for three weekends at
Kelsey Theater this spring. Performances are Friday, March 28, to
Sunday, April 13. A reception with
the cast and crew follows the opening night performance on March
28.
The show begins in 1815 and
takes us on the journey of Jean
Valjean, an honest man driven to
steal a loaf of bread for his starving
family. After 19 years of hard labor
he breaks parole determined to start
a new life but Javert, a police inspector, continues to track him. The
revolution in France becomes the
focus of “Les Miz” as a group of
students build a barricade.
Shawn Doremus of Plainsboro
plays the role of Enjolras, the leader of the student revolutionaries.
Raised in Forked River, he became
interested in performing in theater
as a freshman in high school. As a
vocalist in the school’s choir, the
choir director encouraged him to
audition for the spring musical, and
he was cast in “The Music Man.”
He played the French horn in
marching band in the fall and in the
spring he was in the musicals. “I
became a drama kid,” he says.
Doremus graduated from Liberty University in Virginia with a
bachelor’s degree in secondary

Milberg secondary school poetry

English education and theater performance. At school he worked in
the office as well as set and prop
building, and lighting design.
After college graduation, Doremus spent a summer as an actor at
the Blue Ridge Summer Theater
Festival, where he played Macduff
in “Macbeth” and Solinus in “The
Comedy of Errors. “It was my farewell to Virginia,” he says.
A student teacher in Lacey
Township’s middle school, Doremus has been teaching English,
public speaking, and screenwriting
at South Brunswick High School
for a year. He moved to Plainsboro
from the shore. “It is a good
change,” he says.
His parents, both from Langhorne, Pennsylvania, did theater
together in high school. “Both
sides of the family are very musical,” he says. “My grandfather led a
big band.” His brother, who performed in “Grease” in high school,
is now an academic advisor for veterans studying online. His mother
works for the school system in
Lacey Township, and his father is
an operations manager with Williams-Sonoma.
The first Broadway show he saw
was “Les Miserables.” He was only
12 and remembers openly crying.
“It has a special place for me,” he
says. “I’ve had the soundtrack
memorized for 14 years.” He did
not see “Les Miz” again until the
film last year. “I’ll always love live
theater over a movie version.”
Previous roles at Kelsey Theater
include Houdini in “Ragtime” and
Tom Sawyer in “Big River.” Although this is his third time at
Kelsey and the third time working
with Frank Ferrara of West Windsor as the director, he still had to
audition for “Les Miserables.”
“As Enjolras I do a lot of singing, build a barricade, wave the big
red flag, lead half the cast to their
deaths, and die” says Doremus.

THE NEWS
MARCH 21, 2014
A Hard Day’s Night
T
he Beatles’ appearance on the
“Ed Sullivan Show” on February 9, 1964, was a magical day for
so many young people at the time.
It spurred many to seek music lessons and for some a career in music. Some of those inspired in 1964
will appear at Grover’s Mill Coffee
House in West Windsor for its annual Beatles Fest on Saturday,
March 22, at 7:30 p.m.
Jack Timmerman has been playing guitar and keyboard since the
day he saw the Beatles 50 years
ago. “They were truly the inspiration to do so,” he says. He lives
near the Jersey Shore.
Chris Apple is married to Timmerman’s niece, Jessie. “We share
a love of the Beatles and have
bonded at family gatherings entertaining everyone with our renditions of favorite Beatles tunes,”
says Apple.
“Jack has been participating in
the annual Beatles Fest at Grover’s
Mill for years and asked us to join
him last year and again this year to
celebrate the 50th anniversary of
the Beatles on Ed Sullivan,” says
Apple. “It’s a great opportunity to
gather with friends and play a
handful of songs that everyone
loves.”
Band members include Timmerman on guitar and keyboards, Apple on bass and vocals; Liam Moroney on guitar and vocals, Andy
Letke on drums, keyboards, and
vocals. Known as the Little Rockers Band, they teach classes and
perform at parties, concerts, and assemblies for pre-K to second grade
in and around New York and New
Helter Skelter: Jack

Apple, Andy Letke, and

Jersey, in addition to teaching rock
music lessons to teens.
“We’ve been in various bands
and traveled all over the U.S. and
abroad together over the years,”
says Apple. “We all have a love of
the Beatles and have performed in
many Beatles-related projects together.”
“Since we just celebrated the
50th year of the Beatles playing on
Ed Sullivan the tribute this year is
even more special,” says Jim Matlock, one of the musicians performing. “I first saw them at my cousin’s
home that night — of course in
black and white — and loved their
music ever since. It seems to define
our generation.”
Matlack, 58, began playing guitar at age 9 and later learned the
harmonica. Born and raised in Ewing, he studied music at Trenton
State College. “Like many my age,
I like a lot of styles of music but especially music with great harmonies,” he says. “I gravitated to
groups like the Beatles, the Byrds,
Simon and Garfunkle, Peter and
Gordon, Chad and Jeremy, as well
as singer/songwriters like James
Taylor and Glenn Campbell as the
style of playing and singing I enjoyed doing the most.”
Married for 36 years, he has two
grown daughters. “My three-yearold granddaughter loves the Beatles, especially Ringo,” he says. If

Insured
Matlock’s granddaughter attends
the concert he will play “Octopuses’ Garden” by Ringo from the
“Abbey Road” record.
“The songs I chose for the evening are some of my favorite acoustic tunes of the Beatles that I perform with my band, Roundabout,”
he says. “All nice tunes to sing and
play.”
The show will open with “Yesterday,” performed by Franc Gambatese, co-owner of the coffee
shop. He will also sit in on several
songs during the evening.
The Ed Sullivan Set includes
“Twist & Shout,” “All My Loving,” “Till There Was You,” “She
Loves You,” “I Saw Her Standing
There,” “I Want to Hold Your
Hand,” “Misery,” “Everybody’s

Art of Many Forms
P
lainsboro Library presents a
collection of mixed media
works by Plainsboro resident and
artist Liz Adams beginning
Wednesday, April 2. “Media Relations” is an exploration of the way
in which similar concepts can be
rendered in different media, such
as embroidery, drawing, and weavings. The reception will be held
Sunday, April 13, from 2 to 4 p.m.,
with the artist on hand to discuss
her work. The show is on view to
Monday, April 28.
“Media Relations” pairs works
of art that vary in medium, but are
similar in concept or visuals. In a
trio of work called “Four Sisters,” a
charcoal drawing, a film photograph, and a weaving on a large upright loom, all share the same gesture. The impact of color and the
meaning it conveys become evident in a pairing of a pastel painting
and a weaving of the artist’s handspun and dyed fiber. The pen in a
drawing and the thread in a blackwork stitching express a similar
emotion through the fineness of
their line.
“Cable Boxes” features a weaving made from embroidery floss
overtaken by beads; this is teamed
with a film overtaken by image
transferred collage. Each shows a
juxtaposition of odd angles creating color shadows. “The Cellist,”
two linear abstractions, are pre-

sented as both an embroidery and
as a line drawing. Another “related” pair is an iPod-generated painting partnered with an embroidery.
The show will also include goldwork stitched images, an ancient
needleart form, alongside modern
line and wash drawings. The artist
makes no attempt to create duplicates, but lets the varying mediums
guide the execution of each piece.
The differing textures, colors, and
lights somehow become analogous, and create an exciting visual
adventure.
An accomplished artist who has
moved among many mediums, Adams has lived in Plainsboro for
more than 30 years, and has devoted time and talents to the community through numerous workshops
and arts groups. Named “2013 Artist of the Year,” she was an initial
founder of the Gallery at Plainsboro Library, and was key in establishing the library’s fall arts festival
and summer arts and science programs.
Adams has created two awardwinning blogs that combine writing, art, and photography. Visit

From the Police Blotter
Plainsboro
Warrant Arrest. An officer investigating a parking complaint at
the municipal center on Wednesday, March 5, discovered that the
owner of the car had an outstanding
warrant from Edison for $89. Frederick Williams, 30, of Newark
posted bail at the scene and also
received summonses for driving on
a suspended license and improper
parking.
Zakeyia Short, 31, of Plainsboro
was found to have an outstanding
traffic warrant from Cranbury for
$300 during a stop on Monday,
March 10, for failure to maintain a
lane. She was also found to have a
suspended driver’s license. She
was arrested and received summonses for driving while suspended and failure to maintain a lane.
A Lawrenceville resident was
stopped for having an expired registration on Thursday, March 13,
and was found to have multiple active arrest warrants from Trenton
and Lawrence. Cynthia Evans, 46,
received summonses for driving
while suspended and expired registration and was turned over to Lawrence police on a $1,000 traffic
warrant.
DWI. Chetan Patel, 39, of
Princeton was arrested for DWI on
Friday, March 14. He was stopped
after police observed him swerving
and eventually running a red light
before pulling over. He was found
to be intoxicated and was charged
with DWI, reckless driving, failure
to maintain a lane, and failure to
signal a turn.
A driver who was swerving and
made an improper left turn was
found to be intoxicated on Sunday,
March 16. Victor Garces, 27, of
East Windsor was arrested and
charged with DWI, reckless driv-
ing, failure to maintain a lane, and
improper turn.
Stolen Vehicle. A Chevy Tahoe
was stolen from the lot at 27 Pheasant Hollow Drive at around 6 a.m.
on Thursday, March 6. The owner
had left it running unattended
while it warmed up. The car was
recovered on East State Street in
Trenton.
Fraud. An 80-year-old resident
of Franklin Drive was the victim of
fraud on Monday, March 10. An
unknown person posing as an IRS
employee informed the victim that
they would be arrested if they did
not pay an outstanding debt. The
victim transferred $1,000 using a
cash card from CVS.
West Windsor
Acquitted. Darren Maglione,
the Robbinsville man accused of
sexually assaulting a West Windsor
girl in 2009, was acquitted on
Thursday, March 13, of all charges
except that of endangering the welfare of a child. The jury reached no
decision on that charge.
He still faces an additional trial
on contempt charges for allegedly
seeing the girl after authorities ordered him not to.
DWI. Park rangers reported to
police on Saturday, March 8, that a
man and woman in a vehicle in the
boathouse parking lot appeared to
be intoxicated. Officers, who detected the odor of alcohol, asked
how the car came to be there and
learned that the male, Jeffrey Stewart, 24, of Robbinsville, had driven
his pickup truck across Mercer
Lake, which was frozen. After failing several field sobriety tests,
Stewart was arrested and charged
with DWI, reckless driving, and
unregistered vehicle. The female
passenger was not charged.

Looking Back
uring the first months after
our 1957 arrival in West
Windsor, one of the things
we noticed about our area was a
strange noise coming from the direction of Plainsboro, just a mile or
two away. The noise went on during daylight hours but only on
weekdays. We had never heard a
noise like that before — a sort of
chugging sound, something like a
railroad locomotive. Since we had
not visited Plainsboro before, finding the source of the noise was our
first “adventure” away from Grovers Mill, our home neighborhood.
I first drove up Millstone Road
in the direction of the noise and
crossed the Millstone River into
Plainsboro. Turning left on Maple
Avenue I soon came upon Plainsboro Pond, which, I found out later,
had been formed by damming up
Cranbury Brook, which flowed in
from the east and which soon
joined the Millstone River near the
railroad main line. Maple Avenue
went along the top of the dam.
Plainsboro Pond was typical of
many such ponds in the flatter, agricultural areas of New Jersey.
They had been formed by damming
up small streams so as to turn water
wheels that powered machinery to
grind grain into flour and saw lumber from felled trees. Later, when
pumps were available, the ponds
were also a source of irrigation water for local farms.
Nearby Grovers Mill Pond was
another. It was formed in the 18th
century by damming up Big Bear
Brook where the mill is today. As in
Plainsboro, the pond served the
dual purposes of providing the water power for grinding grain and
sawing lumber. Its wheel and
by Dick Snedeker
grinding machinery were in operation until 1942.
The first thing I saw at Plainsboro Pond were the remains of a
house that had once stood next to
the mill that provided the ground
grain and lumber for the Plainsboro
area. It stood on the west side of the
road where the stream passed under
it. The mill was built before the
American Revolution and was
once known as Stockton’s Mill. It
was torn down in 1930. Today
there’s a parking lot where the mill
and the house once stood.
On the east side of Maple Avenue was Plainsboro Pond, and in it
was the source of the noise. It was a
large, old-fashioned steam shovel
What was that noise? It
was the Plainsboro
steam shovel, moving
silt in Plainsboro Pond
to form two islands.
sitting on a barge floating in the
water. It made a lot of noise as it
chugged away and scooped up mud
from the bottom. I soon learned
from a nearby resident that what
was going on was the dredging of
silt from the pond so it could be
used once again for fishing and recreational boating.
Over the years, the pond had become so filled by silt washed in
from its surroundings that it had become very shallow and clogged by
weeds. As a result, it was a poor
habitat for fish and almost useless
for canoes and rowboats. So the decision was made to excavate the silt.
In this case, the excavation was
really just a “rearranging” operation, since the silt actually remained in Plainsboro Pond instead
of being taken away. That is why
there are two “islands” in Plainsboro Pond today. The steam shovel
scooped up a load of silt from the
bottom on one side of the barge,
pivoted around and deposited it on
the other side. Little by little, as the
barge was moved along the length
of the pond, two islands of silt were
formed, one of which nearly
reached from one end of the pond
to the other. Today there is a wellused path down the center of that
longer “island,” and few people realize they are walking on what was
once the silt that nearly filled the
pond 60 years ago. The pond itself
was effectively split into three parallel sections.
After the dredging — for a
while, at least — the pond was used
once again for recreational boating
and fishing. Today, however, as in
West Windsor, although the population has increased many-fold,
there is little or no interest in these
activities, and it is a rarity to see a
boat or canoe on the water, and
rarer still to see anyone fishing.
That’s too bad, since one of the
highlights of the restoration of
Grovers Mill Pond in 2008 was the
visit the following spring by New
Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, during which he supervised the pond’s
restocking with fish. There must be
some pretty big ones by now, but
most of them will probably still be
there a year from now.
It was many months before we
stopped hearing the Plainsboro
steam shovel just a mile away.
