New clerk has long history of service BY MICHELE ALPERIN

Setting a new tomato pie standard USA Today says yearold West Windsor pizzeria makes best in the state BY JOE EMANSKI
jemanski@communitynews.org
Fans of Trenton-style tomato pies will always argue about which one is best. Some say it’s DeLorenzo’s Tomato Pies in Robbinsville, while others favor Papa’s, also in Robbinsville, or Palermo’s in Bordentown.
(DeLorenzo’s Pizza in Hamilton has plenty of supporters, but most would say they make pizza, not tomato pie, where the mozzarella cheese is on the bottom and the chunky crushed tomatoes are on top.) USA Today recently decided to weigh in on the matter through its affiliate website, 10Best (10best.com). And while they did include those three local favorites on their list of the top 10 tomato pies in New Jersey, none of them managed to earn the top spot. The 10Best editors bestowed that honor upon Clas-
sico Tomato Pies, a one-year-old pizzeria in West Windsor. The website’s editors identified two main varieties of tomato pie: Trenton style, and Philadelphia bakery style, in which a focaccia-like crust is topped with chunky tomato and little or no cheese. They came up with a single top-10 list including both styles. Restaurants on the list beyond the local pizzerias include Krispy Pizza of Old Bridge, Maruca’s Tomato Pies in Seaside Heights, Cacia’s Bakery in four See CLASSICO, Page 8
Arguably, there’s no job at town hall where its more important to have ties to the community than the position of township clerk. In that respect, Gay Huber, who became West Windsor township clerk of as of July 2, is the perfect person for the job. Not only was she born in West Windsor, so were her mother and her maternal grandfather. Her great-grandparents arrived in the late 19th Century to farm property where Toll Brothers is currently building the Enclave at Princeton Junction on Bear Brook Road. In addition to her deep familial ties to the township, she has also been serving West Windsor professionally since 1987, when she started to work parttime in the community development department. She’s also not new to community service. Except for a short hiatus, Huber has been a member of Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Co. since she was in high school. Huber’s earliest experience was with the fire company, which she joined while she was a student at West Windsor Plainsboro High School. “It was the thing to do back then,” she says. “It was a calling that I felt I wanted to do, to be involved in, to help the community.” Serving in the Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Co. is also a family tradition; as Huber puts it, “It’s in your DNA.” Her maternal great-grandfather was a founding member
Academy Dental CHILDREN
and an uncle was chief in the 1950s. Her son-in-law, David Terzian, has been the company’s chief for two years (Terzian’s father and all his siblings were part of the Lawrenceville Fire Co.). Huber’s daughters, Rana Terzian of Lawrence, Dawn Huber of Princeton Junction and Tara Huber of Hamilton are all members of the fire company, two as firefighters and one as an associate member. Her husband, Dennis, also served as a firefighter with Princeton Junction and was the long-time chief. She says emphatically, “I did not go into burning buildings.” Rather, she was more “in the administrative end,” something that became her forte as she progressed in her career. At the fire company, where she served as secretary for over 15 years, she ran the fundraising drive, held birthday parties, did “all of the behind-the-scenes things,” like bringing a truck with water and nourishment to a fire scene so that the firefighters “were rehydrated and would go back in and complete what they had to do.” She says didn’t worry when her husband used to go into burning buildings. “I never thought about it. It was just part of our life. But the first time my daughters went in, it was a little different. I was nervous, but I knew they could handle themselves.” Explaining why, as a senior in high school, she joined the New Jersey Army National Guard, she says, “My father had always wanted to serve in the military, See HUBER, Page 6

Millstone trails cleaned up with the help of volunteers Thank you to the energetic volunteers who helped the Friends of West Windsor Open Space clear the Millstone River East—upper and lower trails—on July 28. Myself, Sylvia Ascarelli, Aadi GawasSarma, Matthew Halpin, Thomas Halpin, Clive Jenner, Elliot Kleiman, Frank Lavadera, Ace Miller, Ram Sarma and YZ Zhang cleared the overgrown brush and fallen trees making the trails passable by foot and bicycle again. One of the young volunteers showed me the “awesome” hill they use in the winter for sledding. There are trail spurs that lead down to the banks of the Millstone River where it may be possible to launch a canoe. These wooded trails connect Millstone and Melville roads with beautiful views of the Millstone River along the West Windsor and Plainsboro border. Now that they are clear, a person could walk or ride their bike on sidewalks and trails from the neighborhood just north of Grover’s Mill Pond to Ellsworth Shopping Center near the train station. There is one road crossing (with no crosswalk) on Millstone Road between the Millstone River East Trail parking area and Joanne Street.
The next issue of WW-P News will be published on Sept. 13. Send Community Forum letters to bsanservino@communitynews.org. Deadline: Sept. 5.
The most recent piece of this open space area of Millstone River East (formerly known as the Yeger Property), was preserved in 2003 with the help of FOWWOS and FOWWOS members, and from the township, county and state governments, and the D&R Greenway. The 22-acre Yeger property (#94 on the township open space acquisition list) is located on Millstone Road adjacent to the Millstone River, which is West Windsor’s border with Plainsboro. This property is an important link in the series of properties along the river known as the Millstone River Greenway. It also contains upland forest, including stands of oaks, as well as wetlands. It is a habitat for abundant wildlife. FOWWOS plans to hold more trail clearing and litter clean-up events.

As a registered nurse and having cared for many notable figures , I appreciated her memory of Aunt Alberta and Albert Einstein! I will be sure to stand at the corner of Edinburg and Village Road East and try to conjure in my mind what her farm may have looked like. I’m glad she had fond memories of her life in West Windsor and hope her childhood family and farm visit her often, in her dreams.

Be vigilant when hiring a tree care expert The public should be aware that, when they hire a tree care operator for work around their home, they should check the operator’s credentials and insurance. It is prudent to hire a tree care business that has a current New Jersey Tree Care License. This should ensure not only that the work is done properly but that homeowners would avoid placing their property at liability risk should an accident happen. Many homeowners’ insurance policies will not cover injuries or damage done by an underinsured or unlicensed tree care operator. The state Department of Health’s statistics reveal that between 1991 and 2016, there were 90 fatalities in the New Jersey tree industry. Additionally between 2009 and 2013, there were some 270 reported non-fatal injuries to tree care workers. Many more went unreported. It is now mandatory in New Jersey to hire a tree care business that is registered with the state and has employed a licensed tree expert or licensed tree care operator, depending on the services they offer.
Community helps find another lost dog My family and I would like to thank the West Windsor community for their tremendous assistance on Aug. 2 to find our five-month-old puppy Harper. The police department was really supportive and a huge help with putting out a Nixle alert, which alerted friends and neighbors to keep an eye out for our puppy that had wandered off our property after being scared by loud farm equipment. We were touched by those who kindly joined us in the search. Yet, it was West Windsor Police Chief Robert Garofalo on his own time, and his wife, Gloria, who saved the day. They went out of their way to keep up the pursuit of Harper and clearly deserve the title of dog whisperers. Having lived here for 17 years, we’ve never been more proud and pleased to call West Windsor home, and appreciate all those who lent a hand in our time of need.
posted on the district website. The superintendent’s April 12 message on school security, sent out to all district parents and staff, identified the use of Class III officers and an increased police presence in our schools as actions the board was reviewing. At the May 8 public board meeting, a presentation was given by the superintendent and the Chiefs of Police for Plainsboro and West Windsor recommending the use of Class III officers. The video recording of this presentation was posted on the school district’s website and broadcast repeatedly on the township cable stations in both Plainsboro and West Windsor. The proposal to have Class III police officers in our schools was the subject of a front-page article in the May 30, 2018, issue of this newspaper. Finally, the superintendent and the chief of police made a public presentation to the West Windsor Township Council on June 25 on this subject. As a measure of the public’s awareness
of this subject, I will point out that public comments on the use of Class III police officers were first made at the March 20 board meeting and continued to be made at following meetings until the June 26 vote. There were active discussions on social media concerning Class III officers beginning as early as March. And finally, board members, including myself, had numerous discussions with residents throughout this period. Again, while Ms. Ilangovan is obviously unhappy with the board’s decision, I believe it is disingenuous to complain about a lack of transparency. However, there is one point on which she and I do agree: that the police officers are, and will continue to be, positive influences in students’ lives. Anthony Fleres Fleres is president of the WW-P School Board. The opinions expressed in his letter are his own and don’t represent those of the board.
We’ve never been more proud and pleased to call West Windsor home, and appreciate all those who lent a hand in our time of need.

Thanks for the look back at old-time West Windsor I loved the wonderful reminiscence from Marcy Hafner (“Growing up on the Farm,” The News, June 28, 2018). One cannot open any paper or news magazine these days without a visceral response to all the negativity and uncertainty in the world. I truly felt refreshed after soaking in her memories, much in the same way Fiestaware must have felt to those experiencing World War II; a temporary escape by adding some color to life. I want to thank Ms. Hafner for taking the time to share her story. I imagined while savoring her words that I was sit-

Fleres: School board was open on Class III officers This is in response to Kani Ilangovan’s letter appearing in the Aug. 16, issue of The News concerning the decision to have Class III police officers in WW-P schools. This is a subject where some people may hold strong opinions, both for and against, and it is fair for Ms. Ilangovan to state her position. However, I believe it is neither fair nor accurate to claim a lack of transparency on the part of the WW-P Board of Education. Throughout this process, the board’s actions have been open and clear. The issue of school security and the possible use of Class III police officers was the subject of the superintendent’s opening comments at the board’s March 6, 2018, public meeting. The topic was raised at all following board of education meetings leading up to the vote on June 26. Minutes and video recordings of the March 6 meeting and all subsequent public meetings had been

HUBER continued from Page 1 but because of his health he couldn’t. I kind of did it for him as much as for myself.” Her military service expanded her administrative know-how. She served as battery clerk (think Radar on the television show M*A*S*H), working for the first sergeant of her unit. “It involved juggling a lot of things at one time, which I still do today, and I learned to be a team player,” she says. The National Guard taught her about what it meant to be part of a diverse community, something she hadn’t experienced growing up in West Windsor in the 1960s and 1970s. “It opened up my world a little bit more,” she says. Her military experience instilled a discipline that remains with her. “It keeps me organized, and I can handle multiple things that are thrown at me,” she says. Finally, Huber says, “I matured at that point; I gained a lot of life experience, which kind of helped me to move forward in the rest of my government career. I’ve always liked to be involved, serve and help.” From 1977 to 1978, Huber worked as a receptionist for the township. Then in 1983, she became administrative assistant to Hillsborough’s first township administrator, leaving in 1987 after her third daughter was born. After two years working part-time at West Windsor town hall, she started working full time for the finance department in 1990. In 2001 she moved to the clerk’s office and became deputy clerk
in 2004. Huber was chosen by unanimous vote of township council to replace long-time clerk Sharon Young, who retired this year after serving in the job since 2000. Speaking of her tenure in the clerk’s office, Huber says, “I have enjoyed every moment of it; every day there is something new. It’s never the same job; there’s always some new challenge that comes up in trying to help people.” “I just love being part of my own community and serving the residents; it’s not always easy, but I find it rewarding when we can accomplish things and help people. Just to serve them is something I’ve always felt I wanted to do and have done for most of my life.” While serving as deputy clerk, Huber always cross-trained with Young, which has made her transition much easier. One thing she is still learning about is how to deal with the diverse community West Windsor is today, with so many different cultures and different modes of interacting. “I’ve learned so much about other countries through that, that I’ll probably never go see,” she says. A town clerk’s duties are varied. The clerk acts as secretary of the municipal corporation and custodian of the township seal and all township records; is secretary to the township council, preparing agendas, minutes, ordinances, and resolutions; is chief administrative officer for elections and chief registrar of voter registration and of issuance of taxi, raffle, bingo, limo, land and liquor
licenses; is records manager for all township documents; and assists residents with Open Public Records Act requests. She also runs the Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies because she enjoys serving the veterans of the West Windsor community. “I was in the service, but was very fortunate never to have served in a war or conflict,” she says. “Most veterans served in a war or conflict, and I put them at a higher level than myself. They gave a lot more than I gave; they put their lives on the line.” Huber’s grandfather was a carpenter who built four homes on Old Bear Brook—including the one where she now lives—and several more in Princeton Junction and Berrien City, the area near the old firehouse and Princeton Junction train station. Her father, who worked for Princeton Polychrome Press, died when Huber was 10. Losing her father, Huber says, “probably made me a stronger person in the long run.” Her mother, a maternity nurse, was able to continue working because Huber’s grandparents lived next door. Describing her mother as “a strong woman,” Huber says, “She was like the mother-father figure for the rest of our lives. She did a great job in raising us by herself. She raised us to be independent, just like I raised my girls to be independent, and I think that helped mold me to be who I am today.” After leaving maternity nursing, her semiretired mother became a hospice caretaker. In 1976, Huber was in the first graduating class at West Windsor Plainsboro High School. In April 2004, after taking two years of classes and passing the state exam, she received her Registered Municipal Clerk certification, which is required to be a clerk in New Jersey. In July 2015 she earned the Certified Munic-
ipal Clerk certification from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. Huber met Dennis, to whom she has been married 40 years, through the fire company bowling league—he was a fireman in Lawrence Township then. “We knew people from all different fire companies,” she says, through the bowling league, parades and other events. They married when she was 19. Huber got involved with Womanspace when the West Windsor Police Department needed advocates for women who were in situations of domestic violence. She has also been a member of the West Windsor Historical Society. Where the advocacy work is a “calling,” she says she became a member of the Historic Society of West Windsor “more because of my history in the town and because I enjoy history, and it is something I hope to get more involved in in the future.” Thinking back to the Princeton Junction of her childhood, Huber says, “It was a lot smaller; it was more farms, farmland and farmers. It was probably an area that everybody knew everybody because they were all farmers. And you could walk everywhere without seeing a car.” For fun, Huber and her friends used to walk over the old railroad bridge that took Alexander Road into Berrien City, where there was a deli convenience store near the firehouse and a post office where Brother’s Pizza now sits. And, she adds, “one of our bigger highlights as teenagers was to get on the Dinky and go to Princeton and go shopping.” Despite the changes West Windsor has experienced, Huber says, “I think this is still a great community to be a part of. I think even though it has grown it has tried to stay as a community where people are all involved.”

CLASSICO continued from Page 1 South Jersey locations, Holy Tomato Pies in Blackwood, DeLucia’s in Raritan and Razza in Jersey City. Classico opened last August behind the CVS at the intersection of Southfield Road and Princeton Hightstown Road. The now award-winning restaurant is a dream come true for owners Linda and James Pittari and Steve Cabrera. DeLorenzo’s and Papa’s, of course, have their roots in Trenton, having moved out to the suburbs in recent years. Classico has city roots as well, through pizzaiolo Cabrera, who grew up in South Trenton. The Notre Dame High School grad learned how to make pies at two local pizzerias: Vincent’s in Hamilton, and another which he asks me not to name, but which is regionally known and has also left Trenton for the suburbs in recent years. It was in the time he was making pizzas at the latter restaurant, both in Trenton and Hamilton, that he got to know Linda and her son, James, who were frequent customers. Whenever they visited, they would request to have their pie made by Cabrera. “You could tell the difference if someone else made the pie,” Linda says. “The crust, the taste—his pies stand out.” The Pittaris and Cabrera became friendly, and would talk about someday opening a restaurant together as partners. Linda’s grandfather, Antonio Cirella, had owned a restaurant called Arcadia on 13th Street and First Avenue in Manhattan, but neither she nor James had any experience running a

Classico restaurant in West Windsor was named as having the best tomato pie in the state by USA Today. restaurant. She had been an executive with Merrill Lynch, and he was a parish administrator at All Saints Church in Brooklyn. Cabrera left the pizzeria in December 2016, after which the trio took the plunge and started looking for a place to call home. They settled on the location where Il Forno Cafe and Trattoria had recently closed. They designed Classico to be simple, open and airy, with red brick walls and rows of wooden tables. Cabrera has worked at a number of other restaurants as well, including Oliver A Bistro in Bordentown, and says he tried to take the best from every place he’s worked and make it work at Clas-
sico. He says he liked working with the pizza ovens at Vincent’s a little more than that other place, because they were larger. He had brand new ones similar to those installed at Classico and started working on recipes for his dough and his sauce. “I wanted to get it just right because whatever we came up with was what we were going to use forever,” he says. “People want consistency, they don’t want pizza that changes all the time.” People tell him his pies remind them of the ones he used to make at the other place, but he says both the dough and the sauce recipes are his originals. Because the crust is so thin, he says, it’s essential that the dough of each pie is uniform. The goal is to get it so the pie is cooked evenly from center to edge, so there’s no bend in the slices. It is a different art from making other kinds of pizza; Cabrera has worked with staff who have had to relearn the craft despite years of experience as pizzamakers. Linda says Cabrera’s standards are high. “If it doesn’t come out perfect, he will throw it away and start over,” she says. Classico has had basically the same pies on its menu from the beginning. With a significant vegetarian population in the area, they have added a number of vegetable toppings to the menu since opening. Plain tomato pies are popular, but Linda says the margherita pie, topped simply with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella and tomato sauce, is their best seller. A large plain tomato pie is $16; a Sicilian pie is $18, and specialty pies like the margherita or the meat lovers are $23 for
a large. Unlike that well known restaurant that Cabrera left behind, Classico also serves a variety of classic Italian dishes, like pasta with vodka sauce ($11.99) and eggplant parmigiana with pasta ($12.99), that use Linda’s grandfather’s recipes. They also serve the kinds of sandwiches and salads one would expect to find in an Italian restaurant in the area. On weekends, they have a chef come in who adds seasonal specials to the menu. For dessert, options include Junior’s cheesecake and ice cream from Arctic and Thomas Sweet. Business was decent at the start, the owners say, picking up once they started delivery service this year, and then again in April after a positive review appeared in the Trenton Times. They’ve also had some success with catering, occasionally closing the restaurant to host a special event for a customer. Linda says that the community has been very supportive of Classico, with many customers having become friends over the past year. As if to illustrate her point, a customer comes into the restaurant during our interview with a tray of cookies and hugs for all three partners. “This was always Steve’s dream,” Linda says. “And James and I, we just always wanted to do a business of our own. We never had a question about it working because we knew the product was so good.” Classico Tomato Pies, 358 Princeton Hightstown Road, West Windsor. Phone: (609) 750-1234.

After almost 22 years, it is just my husband and I alone again in our home (with our 2 dogs.) Our eldest headed off to his senior year at a University in the Midwest and we dropped our youngest to begin the next chapter in his life in the Deep South. When I got home, I started looking at photo albums and reflecting on all our great trips we took both before and with kids and realized the memories we made are not only priceless but helped prepare my sons for the journey ahead by opening their minds to endless possibilities. But I also realized that family travel would be the way to keep us together and the winter holidays might be the last time it is just the four of us traveling together. So, I began planning. The same applies to anyone whose children have left the nest to begin their college journey. This winter holiday may be your best opportunity for a family vacation- before jobs start, internships begin, or students decide to study abroad. Vacation options could include a tropical all-inclusive getaway where everyone can relax from the stresses of work and study, while enjoying time together doing exciting activities such as zip lining or horseback riding along a beach. Other options could be exploring a country in Europe and getting lost in the alleys and discovering new cuisine. But for those empty nesters don’t forget this is your chance to enjoy a vacation for you! Travel to new places is a top priority for newly independent parents. Bucket list destinations top the list which include Safaris, River Cruises, Expedition trips to Antarctica
and the Galapagos, Cruising and hiking around Australia and New Zealand and enjoying romantic over the water bungalows in the South Pacific. Our first trip as independent parents will be this fall to the explore the walled cities of Croatia and sail in the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, followed this winter by a quick weekend in Cancun to enjoy some sun and fun. We are excited for our next chapter and new memories! Where is your next adventure? We can get you there. Now is the time to start planning your winter break getaway. And don’t forget to purchase travel insurance. Contact us today at 609-7500807 or cberla@cruiseplanners. com to discuss your travel plans. At Cruise Planners we are Luxury Travel Specialists. We do not charge any additional fees for our vacation planning, and whether you are looking for a Cruise, an All-Inclusive Resort Vacation, or a European Land Tour, we will provide you with the exceptional service you should expect from a travel agent.

or introduce their children to a new, vibrant tradition. HindiUSA provides the perfect resource that complements the curriculum of area public schools . A nonprofit organization run on a purely volunteer basis, HindiUSA is the largest school in USA dedicated to teaching the Hindi language. With 18 Hindi schools in New Jersey and Connecticut, and more than 20 affiliates in nine other states, their main aim is to promote Hindi at the grass-root level. Presented through nine levels, each with their own tested syllabus, books, materials and programs, HindiUSA teaches Hindi to more than 4,000 students ages 5 to 15. Gulshan Mirg, the school coordinator at the Grover Middle School location in West Windsor, says “We welcome learners of all types from children to adults. Our curriculum is primarily geared to children beginning at age 5 and presumes no prior knowledge of Hindi. We begin by focusing on the language and the culture, aiming to instill an interest and curiosity that will maintain the students’ engagement.” Mirg is one of a cadre of
volunteers who make HindiUSA a thriving organization. An IT professional, Mirg offers his time and energy as a labor of love. “It is my pleasure to the share the language and culture, and provide children growing up in American a way to keep their heritage fresh and alive.” At HindiUSA fees are kept as reasonable as possible to make the program accessible to all and are used solely to pay for books and operational expenses such as rent and events. One unique aspect of HindiUSA is its curriculum. When the program was initiated the available materials were from Hindi curricula used in India. These materials assumed a knowledge and familiarity with speaking Hindi in day-to-day life that children of Indian origin living abroad simply did not have. Consequently, HindiUSA decided to develop its own books and syllabus, specially made for children living abroad. The magazine, ‘Karmbhoomi’, is another unique publication with articles for young students. “Instruction is through modern methods, games, competitions, stories, and various other activities connecting the language and

The program also emphasizes Indian Bhartiya culture by celebrating festivals and cultural programs, such as the Hindi Mahotsav. “One of our exciting events is the annual poetry competition in January. Each student chooses a Hindi poem to learn and recite. This not only reinforces the language but also provides the child with the experience presenting in public. It exposes them to public speaking which drives confidence and morale,” Mirg says. “In addition, we have our annual function, Hindi Mahotsav, in May that celebrates Hindi language, culture, music, dance, and arts. For advanced students, we present full theatrical plays.” HindiUSA provides an exciting opportunity to preserve and encourage growth of a vibrant heritage.

These unique, fun, and engaging activities build critical thinking skills and creative talents to help students excel in all subjects. This kind of critical thinking enhances understanding and overall cognitive ability. It is applicable to all subjects.” “It is crucial that students begin at a comfortable starting point. The prescribed learning program for the first few weeks is remedial and seems easy. This helps to build confidence in every student, but especially in those who are behind in their school work. Their progress will accelerate once they have filled in the gaps, and they will eventually move ahead of their school level.” Another critical area is mathematics.

Visit Lens & Frames before school starts Before school starts is the perfect time to have your child’s eyes checked. So much of learning is visual and if he or she cannot see the board or read the books easily, it slows learning down. A simple examination can eliminate potential problems before they become impediments.
Many children do not tell their parents or teachers that they have trouble seeing clearly. This can lead to poor performance in school as well as in sports, but it can be easily resolved with a painless test. Most vision issues can be easily corrected and with chic, high tech frames, glasses become a fashion statement. Lens and Frame, conveniently located at 495 Georges Road, Dayton, offers exams as well as a wide selection of eyeglass frames and contact lens. They also offer See LENS & FRAMES, Page 16

prescription and non-prescription sunglasses and sportwear frames. Just in time for back to school, Dr. Saffiah Laffir, OD and Pradip Shah, Licensed Optician, are offering two special promotions for patients 18 and younger. Receive your first pair of frames and lens for $59 or chose two pair for $89. Or select from another range of frames to receive your first pair of frames and lens for $79 or two for $109. These offers are for single vision lenses only and are not insurance eligible. Shah says, “I have 35 years of experience treating patients on a highly individualized basis. We are not a chain or big box store. Our customers come to us for the personal touch but know that we have a selection of frames that is nearly twice that of the chain stores. We are competitively priced as well.” “Having a locally owned office where you are not just another person getting an eye exam means a lot to people. We deliberately chose to be local and to become part of the community.” Lens and Frame treats all ages
and has over 25 choices of brand name frames. They accept most insurance plans. Office hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The office is closed on Tuesdays. Walk-ins are welcome so take the time now to make sure you see the world as bright and clearly as you can. Lens & Frames. 495 Georges Road, Dayton. (732) 438-0432. lfeyewear.com. See ad on Page 13.
A high level of care at Windsor Happy School For 25 years, Windsor Happy School has provided the highest level of care and learning excellence for the area’s children. Owner Sefali Shah says, “We are excited to be hitting this milestone. We have seen several generations of children grow and thrive. Some of our former students return to become aides or to do their student teaching rotations so we keep in close touch with our kids. Our aim is to make Windsor Happy School
like a second home, a place where the children are eager to come and learn. We clearly are here for the long term. Safety has been the guiding hallmark of Windsor Happy School, making it a place that parents and students trust.” “Our focus goes beyond academics. We instill social skills and good behavior. We guide the children’s interpersonally skill with emphasis on concept such as honesty and social responsibility. We strive to have the children work collaboratively, stressing fairness and cooperation. In addition, we introduce them to hygiene and healthy practices,” Shah says. To celebrate their silver anniversary, Windsor Happy School will be holding an ice cream social and fun fair (Check the website or call for date and time.) Come and enjoy the fun and find out more about the broad programs offered. For readers of this article, bring a copy and ask about our special back to school promotion of one month free. “A distinguishing aspect of our program is the very low student/ teacher ratio,” Shah says proudly. “Our infant program has one teacher for only three children
and for toddlers the ratio is 1 to 5, below the industry norm. We do not provide food on site. This allows parents to be in control of their child’s diet and it contains the overall cost.” “What makes our school distinctive is our all-inclusive service. We open at 7 a.m. and are here until 7 p.m. Parents know that they can drop their children at a safe place and that we handle extracurricular activities and transportation to our partners such as Kumon’s math and reading programs, and our field trips. There is no need to come back and forth to drop the kids off at other locations,” said Shah. “We are available year-round and our facility in Princeton Junction is minutes from the train station.” “Kumon classes are available from 2-4 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and we take children to Tae Kwon Do as part of our physical development commitment. Our field trips are posted on our site’s Happening Board and on our Facebook page. Be sure to look us up and like us.” “We also have extensive enrichment programs such as See W. HAPPY SCHOOL, Page 18

Mathnasium helps kids rebuild math muscles
The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer may seem endless to children enjoying a respite from school. However, as the new school year begins, children may find that they’re a bit rusty in certain subjects—especially in math. Few subjects build on concepts and skills learned in years prior as much as mathematics and many children are simply not ready to pick up where they had left off before the summer break. “Kids who spent the summer without engaging in math activities may need some extra time and help to build their math muscles back up. For many, this can result in poor performance in the early part of the academic year,” says Julia Fung, owner and center director of Mathnasium of Plainsboro. “Left unchecked, these setbacks do add up.” “Children don’t hate math, but they do hate being confused and intimidated by it,” Fung says. “Our goal is to help children develop confidence, understanding and a lifelong love of math.” Mathnasium, the nation’s leading math-only learning center franchise, specializes in teaching math in a way that makes sense to kids. Fung says, “When math makes sense, kids excel—whether they’re far behind or eager to get ahead.” The proprietary Mathnasium Method™ EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTis the result of 40-plus years of EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT hands-on instruction and research and focuses on a three-pronged Register by August 31 approach: evaluate, educate and validate. “We offer one-on-one instruction EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT WestWindsorArts.org 609.716.1931 to elementary, middle and high school students who fit into three

categories – those who struggle in math and need to catch up, those who want to keep up, and those who excel in math and want to advance to the next level, ” Fung explains. “Regardless of which category a child fits into, our goal is still the same, which is to help each child advance to the next level, and then the next level, and so on.” Through comprehensive written and oral tests, a student’s knowledge gaps are determined. Based on these test results, a personalized learning program is developed for each student that includes diagnostics, instruction, worksheets, manipulatives, and games to build number sense. Mathnasium provides students with customized programs that, with two or three hours per week of study, shake off the fog of summer and prepare kids for the challenges that lie ahead. Mathnasium students have shown significant increases in performance on standards-based tests in 20 sessions or fewer, the equivalent of just a few months’ work. Parents usually drop off their children at Mathnasium twice a week for one hour sessions. The usual teacher-to-student ratio is one-to-three and session costs are typically less than the cost of tutoring, with better results. During a typical Mathnasium Hour, a student learns new concepts and practices skills they already know that need reinforcing, while always receiving individual attention from a very qualified and highly trained staff. Mathnasium also provides customized test prep services for SAT/ACT/SSAT and other standardized tests. Mathnasium. 4 Market Street, Plainsboro. mathnasium.com/ plainsboro. See ad on Page 11.

Co-managers lead return of Legion ball to WW-P BY JUSTIN FEIL The WW-P American Legion baseball team didn’t just have a mix of experience among its players this year, but also among its co-managers. They brought in Bob DeLuca, a veteran coach from the Hamilton A’s program, to work with Andrew Schoenblum, who was only a year removed from playing Legion. It didn’t take long for him to gain managerial experience. “He wasn’t that far removed from the kids. I was supposed to manage, and my father passed away in May so Andrew took over for three weeks,� DeLuca said. “I want to make sure he gets credit, because we had wisdom on my side and youthful enthusiasm on his side, it worked well together. Without Andrew, none of this would have worked.� Schoenblum was happy to help bring back WW-P. After he played for the 2016 Legion team, WW-P did not field a Legion team in 2017. “That’s tough to see as a graduate, so I reached out to Steve Lichtenstein, who’s the GM, and I said I’d be happy to help out,� Schoenblum said. “He eventually actually interviewed me for the head coach role. We both agreed that maybe it’d be better if I helped out and got my feet wet as the assistant. So he brought in Bob, and then unfortunately Bob’s father passed away very early on so I was actually on my own from the beginning for a little bit.� Schoenblum, who will be a junior at Alvernia University where he balances playing golf and baseball, called upon all of his experience as he managed the team in the early going. “It was kind of cool to have that responsibility,� Schoenblum said. “It would have been nice to have Bob and

teams at the end.â&#x20AC;? In the final weeks, WW-P was able to play spoiler and give themselves some inspiration and results to build on going into the fall season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually knocked two teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoff chances down,â&#x20AC;? Schoenblum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Lawrence sneaked in after we beat them, but North Hamilton, they had to win three of four to make the playoffs and we beat them twice. That was great. It gave us something to play for and something to prove.â&#x20AC;? Potts is already looking forward to next year and the improvements that will show up. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident that WW-P will come back stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see us improving at the plate because my class has always been a hitting team,â&#x20AC;? Potts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And now that we will be upperclassmen, we will be a strong offensive team.â&#x20AC;? WW-P showed flashes of potential this year, and they will return a more experienced team, along with a more experienced Schoenblum who worked well with DeLuca to get the Legion team up and running again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I kind of found myself and what kind of coach I wanted to be,â&#x20AC;? Schoenblum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played for Michael Santoro in high school, and a lot of our people thought he was strict. He was a Steinert grad and played in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Don Hutchinson, the South coach I played for in Legion, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more laid back, reserved and focuses on the baseball. Then I went to college and played for Yogi Lutz, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a drill sergeant. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very intense. I tried to take the best things from each of them that I believed would mold my style.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole purpose of the year was to try to compete and try to build a new brand of style of baseball, bring that competitive edge back,â&#x20AC;? Schoenblum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want people to think, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Windsor-Plainsboro, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll beat them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I want them to go in knowing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a tough game and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to give it everything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;?

Out of the basement and onto social media The next generation of homebuyers is here, and one driving force behind their buying activity is triggered to a degree by social media, generating “FOMO” — “fear of missing out.” The proliferation of social media posts showing happy Millennium aged homeowners posing in their newly purchased spaces appears to be having a domino effect on real estate sales for others in the same generation. In fact, the National Association of REALTORS® says that Millennials now make up 65 percent of all first-time buyers. A survey done in February of 2018 on behalf of Bank of America showed that Millennials — the largest homebuying generation since the baby boomers — are willing to share their home purchase on social media, more so than a new job or car, or even a birth announcement! It’s no surprise, then, to hear the same report concluded that 33 percent of first-time Millennial buyers purchased a home after seeing photos of others’ properties on social media, with the thought process being, “If they can buy a home, why can’t I?” An additional 24 percent of survey respondents said social media photos triggered them to think, “It’s time to grow up and buy.” While U.S. Census Bureau data shows that at 36 percent, homeownership rates are lowest for the under-35 age group, that number is growing … one year earlier it was 34.7 percent.
