Knights take win against Paul VI
Changes
abound
for area
residents
By KATIE MORGAN
The West Windsor Sun
West Windsor residents can ex-
pect to see big changes through-
out the township in the first
months of 2013. Township offi-
cials are optimistic about projects
in both planning and develop-
ment stages.
Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh said
one of his top priorities heading
into the new year involves the
area around the train station.
Beautifications around the
train station are one of my main
objectives, Hsueh said. I believe
that area is a very big part of our
community, and we want to re-
shape it into an attractive place
that promotes a sense of that
community.
In addition to plans for beauti-
fication, Hsueh said he plans to
focus on improving parking and
traffic circulation in the area of
the train station.

cussing with the Department of

The West Windsor Sun
Since a resolution for the dem-
olition of the Grover Farmstead
first appeared on the Township
Council agenda of May 14, 2012, it
has become a hot-button issue
among council members and resi-
dents.
The Grover Farmstead is an 88-
acre property, once a working
farm, that was acquired by the
township in 1994 for nearly $4 mil-
lion. The tract of land along Vil-
lage Road East includes now-dete-
riorating buildings constructed
in the mid- to late-19th century.
There is a one-story barn, a sec-
ond barn with a connected three-
car garage, a two-story barn, a
lean-to, a tenant house and wash-
room, and the main farmhouse.
The original resolution called
for the approval of $60,000 in ex-
penditures to accept a bid for the
demolition of the farmhouse, the
tenant house and washroom, and
two of the barns.
Information was released to
bidders on March 16, 2012.
When the resolution appeared
on the May 14 agenda, township
resident Pete Weale was the first
to raise questions about the pro-
posed demolition.
According to the minutes of
that meeting, several members of
Council had questions about the
resolution as well.
Councilman George Borek ex-
pressed his concern that Council
was not kept appraised of the
condition of the structures.
Councilwoman Kristina Sa-
monte inquired about the histori-
cal significance of the farmhouse
and property, and Councilman
Bryan Maher asked why a study
was not done.
The resolution was deferred to
a later council meeting to provide
for further discussion. It ap-
peared on the agenda again at the
following meeting on May 29.
Members of council and the pub-
lic again expressed concerns, par-
ticularly about items that had
been removed from the house.
On a suggestion from Council,
a committee was formed to draft a
report on the farmstead, and in-
vestigate the townships options
for preserving the house.
West Windsor resident Rocky
Procaccini became the commit-
tees chair.
The whole thing came as such
a surprise to us when it first ap-
peared on the agenda, Procacci-
ni said. And then it was on the
agenda two weeks in a row. It
kind of took on a life of its own

Transportation the improvement
of the traffic circulation around
the train station, he said. We
also plan to add additional park-
ing, and residents should be able
to take advantage of those extra
parking spots very soon.
Hsueh also reiterated the town-
ships focus on promoting and
successfully fostering the growth
of West Windsors economy.
One of the biggest things
were looking at in 2013 is new
businesses coming to town, he
said. We expect many more busi-
nesses coming this year. Were
currently within discussion with
businesses, retail and restaurants
interested in coming to West
Windsor. More options in neigh-
borhood stores, restaurants and
retail promote sustainability and
boost the townships economy.
Some of these new businesses
will be housed in the old Acme
center, a plaza that Hsueh
said should be renovated and
completed in the first months of
2013.
Were going to see the new
plaza open and improvements
and renovations all along Route
571, Hsueh said. And this is
growth and improvement that is
not coming at the expense of the
taxpayers. We already have ap-
proval for additional retail and
park areas, and next year well be
very busy with new developers
and traffic changes before con-
struction. Residents will see im-
mediate improvement in traffic
circulation by the end of Janu-
ary.
Hsueh said the township will
move forward with recommenda-
tions and input from residents.
What weve been hearing
from residents is that they would
like to see more big companies,
he said. There will be lots of de-
cisions made about that in the
coming year.
Hsueh said that plans to pro-
mote West Windsor as a desirable
location for big companies must
be accompanied by plans to ac-
commodate the community
growth big companies bring.
The big companies bring in
jobs, they bring in employees and
families and kids, he said. And
thats growth we prepare for by
planning new development and
construction.
Discussions set to begin within
the Board of Education will also
address growth within the com-
munity and the school system.
The Board of Education will
begin a discussion about the pos-
sibility of adding an addition
onto Village School, said Victo-
ria Kniewel, superintendent of
the West Windsor-Plainsboro Re-
gional School District. For addi-
tional classrooms and office
space, and Community Educa-
tion.
Kniewel said the Board of Edu-
cation and the district adminis-
tration would be focused on sever-
al major issues in the first few
months of 2013.
The administration will make
a presentation based upon a new
demographic study of Plainsboro
Township and West Windsor
Township, she said. And will
present the final report of the
Language Arts Program Review,
and budget presentations for the
proposed 2013-2014 budget.
The administration will begin
a search for a principal of Grover
Middle School, and the Board of
Education will review and vote
on a resolution in January 2013,
determining whether to follow
the lead of other area districts in
moving the budget vote and
Board elections to November.
Financially, Hsueh said the
council would begin looking at
the upcoming budget.
Were trying to control it as
much as we can, he said. We
have serious expenses and ex-
treme damages post Hurricane
Sandy. At this point we still dont
know how much we will receive
from FEMA.
Hsueh said that while the econ-
omy is still in recovery, he expects
the coming year to be better for
the township financially.
Overall, things will be better,
he said. The hotel business is not
great, and thats one area where
we expect to see less revenue, but
all things considered we expect
the budget to be kept very much
level.

The West Windsor Arts Coun-
cil is pleased to showcase the
work of its members in Rock
Paper Scissors, an exhibit in view
from Jan. 13 to Feb. 24 at the West
Windsor Art Center Gallery, 952
Alexander Road (historic Prince-
ton Junction Firehouse), West
Windsor.
All are welcome to the Opening
Reception and Gallery Talk by
juror Kelly Baum on Sunday, Jan.
13, from 4 to 6 p.m.
The artists will also speak
about their work during the re-
ception.
Rock Paper Scissors, a cen-
turies old game, is based on the
concept of randomness. The
theme for the exhibition is cen-
tered on the idea that the process
of art making is just as important
as or more important than the
end result. Artwork that stretches
the idea of what is traditionally
considered art is especially en-
couraged.
The West Windsor Arts Coun-
cil membership is represented by
32 works of art by 18 different
artists, selected by juror Kelly
Baum, the Haskell Curator of
Contemporary Art at the Prince-
ton University Art Museum.
Works on view ranges from digi-
tal photography, painting, mixed
media, collage and assemblage.
Artists experimented with var-
ious media including wax,
bleach, found objects and hand
dyed fabrics.
Artwork was submitted based
on the theme of randomness and
experimentation. Work that
stretched the idea of what is tra-
ditionally considered art was en-
couraged. More than 65 submis-
sions from 25 artists were re-
ceived following the call to artists.
I was struck by the number of
artists who were playing with col-
lage, said Baum. This seems to
have been an ideal format when it
came to exploring chance and ex-
perimentation. While jurying, I
rely on intuition and knowledge: I
tend to go with my gut, but its a
gut thats been studying art for
well over two decades, so my gut
is informed by my reading and re-
search. I review all of the submis-
sions once and then again at least
three more times before coming
to a final decision. Gradually, I
hone the list of artworks until
Ive arrived at what I think are
the most compelling and exciting
submissions. I was extremely im-
pressed with the submissions this
year, and Id like to congratulate
all of the artists.

The Rock, Paper, Scissors ex-
hibit features a total of 18 artists
from Montclair, Cranbury, Per-
rineville, Princeton, Hightstown,
Lawrenceville and West

T
here are all kinds of great rea-
sons to replace the $1 bill with a
$1 coin.
For example, the government says it
would save taxpayers billions of dol-
lars over the next several decades. And
who doesnt want to save billions of
tax dollars?
Vending companies, too, would like
to see the switch. Anyone who has
tried unsuccessfully to jam a dollar bill
into a machine that is, well, less than
perfect, understands the vending com-
panies sentiments.
The problem is that weve tried this
before, and it didnt end well. Remem-
ber, about a decade ago, the Sacagawea
coin? Before that, the Susan B. Antho-
ny? Before that? Well, there have been
dollar coins in the United States pretty
much since the Continental Congress
met.
Americans just dont seem to like
the $1 coin. Some complain that they
are too hard to distinguish from the
quarter. Others note that its much eas-
ier to cram 10 $1 bills into your wallet
than it is to carry 10 $1 coins in your
pocket.
Whatever the reason, Americans
have rejected a move to the $1 coin. Re-
peatedly and resoundly.
So lets forget about this idea and
focus on a few other monetary
thoughts that make more sense.
How about making $1 bills that last
longer than five years? That reduces
the need to pull old ones from circula-
tion and replace them with new ones.
And lets figure out a way to make
producing a penny cost less than a
penny, and make producing a nickel
cost less than a dime. Switch metals, or
just do away with them altogether. Es-
pecially the pennies. Not much you can
get for a penny these days.
But keep the $1 bill. At least for now.
At least until inflation puts it into the
category of the penny: not really worth
producing any longer.
in our opinion
The $1 coin
Havent we tried this already? And failed?
Dollar bill blues
Yes, removing the $1 bill from circula-
tion and replacing it with a $1 coin
would save tax dollars. Except, nobody
really wants to use $1 coins. Weve tried
to use them in the past, but society has
rejected them. So why bring up the
idea again?
letters to the editor
Writer: Letter illustrates need
for Gay Straight Alliance
I am astounded that The Sun would
print the hate-filled letter from Paul and
Mediatrix Milazzo in the Dec. 19-25 issue,
which speaks of "the recruitment of chil-
dren to a dangerous lifestyle choice.
This letter precisely illustrates why
there is a need for a strong, active Gay
Straight Alliance in our high schools.
It is essential that the teenagers in our
community have access to resources and
support to cope with the hate, and igno-
rance, of some of the members of our
town.

The West Windsor Republican Club and
the Republican Women of Mercer County,
in conjunction with the East Windsor Re-
publican Committee, the Ewing Township
Republican Club and the Hightstown Re-
publican Club invite all area residents to a
real estate seminar on Jan. 9.
Commercial Real Estate in Mercer
County: Will we see an increase in com-
mercial real estate activity following the
election? will be hosted by Jerry Fennelly,
president of NAI Fennelly and Associates.
The seminar, which is free and open to
the public, will be held at the West Windsor
Senior Center at 271 Clarksville Rd. in
West Windsor on Jan. 9 from 7 to 8 p.m.
Developers are likely to make decisions
about large amounts of space following the
election and in the coming year.
Commercial real estate is a critically im-
portant contributor and subsidizer for our
local tax base, but as the economy begins to
recover from recessionary lows, millions of
square feet of empty space are yet to be
rented.
When and how quickly will the market
recover? This is an issue that has critical
tax and quality of life implications which
could drastically change the character of
our communities.

JAN. 2-8, 2013 THE WEST WINDSOR SUN 7
from there.
The committee began meeting
in July, and more questions were
raised about the items missing
from the farmhouse.
The West Windsor Historical
Society removed some items, in-
cluding a full staircase and
handrail, fireplace mantels, bed-
room doors and trim, windows
and floorboards.
The Society removed the items
with the approval of former
township Business Administra-
tor Robert Hary after the home
was originally slated for demoli-
tion in 2010. The items were given
to Adam Wengren of Adam
Restorations Technologies as part
of a barter agreement to provide
items to benefit the restoration of
the Schenck property, another
farmstead in the township that
has since been preserved as a his-
torical property and will be
opened to the public as a museum
in early 2013.
A full list was compiled of all
the missing items, which includ-
ed, in addition to the items re-
moved by the Society, scrap metal
items including radiators,
copper piping and HVAC equip-
ment.
I went to the house that first
day after the meeting when we
found out about it, Procaccini
said. That house was absolutely
decimated. The scrap value alone
of what was missing was well in
excess of probably 10 grand.
An official police investigation
into the missing items began in
September of 2012.
Members of the Grover Com-
mittee became more frustrated
than ever at the Dec. 17 council
meeting, when they were in-
formed by Township Attorney
Mike Herbert that they would not
be able to see the official report,
issued by the West Windsor Po-
lice Department early in Decem-
ber.
The Grover Committee had
been waiting on the results of the
investigation to continue shaping
its report on the farmstead.
Herbert said he met with the
Mercer County Prosecutors of-
fice to review the 30-page report,
and was told that the report
would not be made public.
I was extremely unhappy with
that, Herbert said. There are
folks who have been waiting to
read this, and I let them know it
was going to be a very hard sell
for me to tell them they now
couldnt.
Herbert said he struck a bar-
gain with the prosecutors office,
whereby Council may review the
police report in a closed session
with Herbert, Detective Mark
Lee, who handled the investiga-
tion, and Police Chief Joseph
Pica.
Council will be able to speak to
the public about what they learn
from the report.
The closed session to review
the police report is scheduled for
Jan. 7.
At the Dec. 17 meeting, both
residents and members of coun-
cil expressed outrage and confu-
sion at the decision to keep the re-
port sealed.
This is ridiculous, said
Maher. It reeks of a cover-up. If I
were on the Grover Committee, I
would be outraged and Im per-
sonally outraged.
Herbert divulged limited de-
tails from the police report, in-
cluding that scrappers stole the
copper piping, and that the fur-
nace and metal registrars were
also sold for scrap. Herbert said
the total value of the items miss-
ing from the property was esti-
mated near $10,000.
Herbert said the prosecutors
office told him there was nothing
in the report to prosecute.
Its crazy to be told we cant
see this report weve been waiting
on, Procaccini said. What it
boils down to is that public prop-
erty was conveyed into private
hands without due process, and
thats illegal.
Procaccini said he believes the
report is not being released to the
public because it will include de-
tails that are politically damag-
ing.
From the start there have
been political overtones to this
whole thing, he said. We set out
to save an iconic piece of West
Windsor history, and with the op-
position weve received from the
administration every step of the
way, we cant help but raise ques-
tions as to whats being covered
up here. Something is being cov-
ered up, otherwise they would be
forthcoming with all this infor-
mation.
At the Dec. 17 meeting, Council
President Kamal Khanna asked
John Church, a member of the
Grover Committee, if a report
would be ready by the Feb. 4 meet-
ing. Church said yes, but Procac-
cini said the Committees work is
not yet near completion.
There was no discussion
about us presenting the report
then, Procaccini said. He was
in no way authorized to commit
us to reporting on the fourth.
The Grover Committee ulti-
mately plans to present a report
that includes long-term plans to
replace the windows and doors
and perform a complete renova-
tion of the interior. The property
would then be rented to a tenant
who would pay rent in addition to
agreeing to perform 10 hours of
labor each month on the farm-
stead, under the Green Acres reg-
ulations that apply to the proper-
ty.
Procaccini said the Committee
would recommence meetings at
the end of January, and would
continue its efforts to save the
farmhouse.
The house brings back a lot of
memories for a lot of people, he
said. A lot of people went there
as kids to pick strawberries and
pumpkins, or on school trips to
learn about the towns farming
heritage. But the state that farm-
house is in right now seems to
mimic the state this town is in.
Maybe we cant save the whole
town, but we can still save the
farmhouse.

Twenty-four students from
West Windsor-Plainsboro High
School South Math Club partici-
pated in the recent Princeton Uni-
versity Mathematics Competition
(PUMaC).
The Pirates A team placed fifth
in Division A and the Pirates B2
team placed tenth in Division B.
The fifth place ranking was the
best showing for a local team in
the seven year history of the
event, which is organized by the
Princeton University undergrad-
uates and included 70 teams from
all over the east coast and as far
away as Bulgaria and China.
In teams of eight, the competi-
tors worked on the Power Round
in the week leading up to the com-
petition. This consists of a series
of proof problems relating to a
common theme, algebraic num-
bers.
Pirates A placed fifth in Divi-
sion A and Pirates B2 placed
eighth in Division B in this part
of the competition. The onsite
Team Round was a math cross-
word, which they had only 20
minutes to complete. The purpose
was to enter the answers into a
crossword with one digit per
space but the answers could go in
three directions.
Individually, each competitor
had to choose two subject tests
out of Algebra, Combinatorics,
Geometry and Number Theory.
Five students ranked in the top
ten on at least one subject test and
qualified for the individual finals:
Alexander Clifton (second, Alge-
bra A, eighth, Combinatorics A),
David Geng (fourth, Algebra B),
Bill Yan Huang (sixth, Combina-
torics A), Kevin Li (eighth, Geom-
etry A), and Jung Joo Suh
(eighth, Algebra B, ninth, Geome-
try B). Individual scores also
counted toward the overall team
ranking.
The Individual Finals consist-
ed of three proof problems in one
hour and were used in determin-
ing the overall individual rank-
ings. Jung Joo Suh placed third in
Division B and Alexander Clifton
placed eighth in Division A.
The competition also included
various mini-events like Rubiks
Cube, where Brian Qiu placed
second, and Math Bowl.
The students prepared togeth-
er for the competition by working
on practice problems sent out
during the week and meeting to
discuss after school.
