No housing on Howard Hughes tract
Author’s book chronicles how people define their mood
New owner agrees to follow township master plan
By Madeleine Maccar
Atlantic Realty has no plans to build houses on the Howard Hughes tract. That’s what the developer, who purchased the 558-acre property last year, is telling West Windsor Township officials. Atlantic purchased the tract— the former American Cyanamid site—from the Howard Hughes Corp. for $40 million in October. Before its sale, the tract was the subject of an ongoing lawsuit by Howard Hughes against West Windsor, challenging its zoning. The developer was pushing a plan to build a mixed-use project with up to 2,000 residential units, retail businesses and commercial offices. The township has long been opposed to any residential on the site, which is located at the corner of Route 1 and Quakerbridge Road. The property is one of the largest contiguous undeveloped parcels on the East Coast and has sat vacant since 2004. Mayor Hemant Marathe said that he met with officials from Atlantic after the sale to discuss their intention for the property. “We had a very open and positive meeting with them,” Marathe said. “They know that we are not looking for any new housing, because I believe we have too much to begin with, See HOWARD HUGHES, Page 7
After 365 consecutive days of interviewing everyone from friends and family to neighbors and strangers, Elisabeth Oosterhoff is endearingly selfaware and just a little uncomfortable being the subject of the conversation. The 17-year resident of West Windsor, Norwegian native and global traveler who has lived all over Europe might have launched her at-least-one-a-day “happiness dates” a decade ago to collect fodder for her book The Many Faces of Happiness, but the instincts that helped her conduct hundreds of soul-baring interviews in 2010 come bubbling back to the surface all too easily as she jokes about dominating the conversation. “I feel like we’re talking about me too much!” she laughs. Oosterhoff published The Many Faces of Happiness this past November, and the work is especially relevant this month— the International Day of Happiness is celebrated on March 20. The newly minted author, who worked on the book on and off for about a decade, has traveled a long and winding road to bring her labor of love to the light of day. Born of an idea she See OOSTERHOFF, Page 10

Adena Blum (far right) with her husband, Sean, and sons, Jonah and Ari. Blum has been named as the new senior rabbi at Congregation Beth Chaim in West Windsor.
A new rabbi for Beth Chaim Blum appointed to replace recently retired rabbi Eric Wisnia By Michele AlPerin Congregation Beth Chaim in West Windsor will have a new senior rabbi starting on July 1. Associate rabbi Adena Blum has been selected to replace rabbi emeritus Eric Wisnia, who retired last year. Wisnia served the congregation for 42 years, followed by now-serving interim rabbi Brian Beal. A resident of Robbinsville,
Blum grew up in Lawrence Township, where her parents still live. She’s also not far from her childhood synagogue, Har Sinai Hebrew Congregation in Trenton, where Wisnia, then a cantor, ignited her passion for Judaism as she worked with him on her bat mitzvah. “He saw my interest and aptitude, and he leaned into that,” she says. “We had all kinds of conversations about Jewish history, life and tradition.” Wisnia also taught her how to read Torah and to lead a Jewish prayer service. “I internalized what he taught me,” she recalls. And that came in handy when faculty member
Rabbi Lauren Levy at the Lawrenceville School asked her to do bar mitzvah tutoring for the younger siblings of Jewish students whose families were not affiliated with a synagogue, which became another spur to her own learning. After her confirmation at Har Sinai at the end of 10th grade, Blum was wondering about the next step on her Jewish path when by happenstance a friend told her about the Jewish Community High School of Gratz College held at Shir Ami synagogue in Newtown, Pennsylvania. She decided to go, and the school gave her not only another See BLUM, Page 8

Celebrate the League of Women Voters’ 100th year One hundred years ago, after a long and difficult fight, women in the United States were given the right to vote with the adoption of the 19th amendment to the Constitution. That centennial is being celebrated wide and far this year. But you may not know that another milestone for women’s rights happened that year. On Feb. 14, 1920, the League of Women Voters was created by the leaders of the suffrage movement. They wisely recognized that the 20 million new voters would need help to carry out their new responsibilities. The enfranchisement of women was one of the largest peaceful revolutions in history. Women were finally recognized as full citizens. The League of Women Voters was created with a mission of ensuring that the new voters were educated and informed about issues and candidates. And 100 years later, that is what we do. The Princeton Area League has members—both men and women—from the Kendall Park, Kingston, Montgomery,
Plainsboro, Princeton, Rocky Hill, South Brunswick and West Windsor. We supported New Jersey legislation for online voting and an end to prison gerrymandering. We are working to ensure a complete count in the upcoming census and the creation of fair legislative districts. Our agenda also includes activities related to the environment, women and family and immigration. Please join us as we celebrate this important year in the history of our nation and our organization.

HOWARD HUGHES cont. from Page 1 and that will put too much strain on the schools.” The township is currently in the process of approving an amended master plan. Marathe said Atlantic is looking at uses that are consistent with the new master plan. Those uses include research and development labs and pilot plant facilities; corporate and professional offices; data processing and computer centers; limited manufacturing; warehousing; distribution centers; conference centers; hotels; banks with or without drive-throughs; limited retail establishments; health clubs, fitness centers, and indoor-outdoor recreation centers; veterinary offices; urgent care and out-patient surgical facilities; and gas stations with convenience stores. The master plan also recommends that no more than 150,000 square feet of retail space be permitted on the tract, and that big-box retail and strip retail developments “are strongly discouraged in this district.” “Atlantic is talking to various people to put something there that won’t involve kids,” Marathe said. “They haven’t come back to us yet with a concrete proposal, or anything saying XYZ is interested in the property, but they were very positive with the changes we have done in the master plan.” Marathe said the commercial development of the site will help generate tax revenue to offset an influx of school-age children being generated by a spate of residential development throughout the town, much of it spurred by the need to provide
court-mandated affordable housing. “It also means that the property will be occupied so we don’t have to worry about it in the next round of affordable housing in 2025,” Marathe said. Council president Virginia Manzari said that Atlantic agreeing to only build commercial is an important development for the township. “They (Atlantic) were really amenable,” she said. “They said, ‘We know what you want, and we know what you don’t want, and we want to be respectful of that. We want to work with you guys and, we want to move this thing forward.’” Manzari said that she believes the hard line the township took against housing on the tract worked in their favor in the long run. “You have probably seen other townships where they say, ‘Okay, we’ll rezone for just senior housing or for just a small amount of housing.’ “The problem with that, is then you lose your strength in court,” she said. “Then the developer can come back and say, ‘I can’t really do this based on X number of homes. I need five times that,’ or, ‘I can’t really do what I need with senior housing. I really need market rate housing,’” she said. “Then you get yourself into a situation where you’ve shot yourself in the foot.” She said that the township “drew a line in the sand” and stuck to it. “I’m glad we did, and it looks like it’s going to work out great.”

BLUM continued from Page 1 opportunity to learn herself, but also another push toward Jewish education. She not only earned a certificate there qualifying her to teach at Reform movement schools, but she was also required to be an assistant teacher at her home synagogue. Also during this period, two of her Jewish role models independently recognized her potential as a Jewish leader and suggested that she might want to become a rabbi. Levy, Blum says, “starting joking that one day I should take her job,” and a Gratz teacher, Larry Sernovitz, pulled her aside and said, “You seem to enjoy this. Have you ever thought about becoming a rabbi?” This got her thinking that maybe they were right. She applied to Brandeis University for its great Near Eastern and Judaic studies department and earned a bachelor’s degree in 2006. She spent her junior year at the University of Haifa in Israel. Several years later she was accepted as a student at Hebrew Union College in New York, where she was ordained as a rabbi and earned a master’s degree in religious education. During her years in rabbinical school, she served as a rabbinic intern at two New Jersey synagogues, a Hillel (college-level Jewish organization), two hospitals and two summer camps of the Union for Reform Judaism. During her six years at Beth Chaim as assistant and associate rabbi, Blum has grown as a religious leader and in return contributed much to the congregation. She became more skilled in pastoral work by working with people of all different ages in much more intimate ways. “When you are a full time pulpit rabbi, people really let you into their lives in ways that they might not let a part-time student rabbi,” she says. She has learned the skills necessary to run an organization. “Out of necessity I have learned a lot about the business side of synagogue life: marketing, budgeting, how to increase revenue and minimize expenses and fundraising,” she says. Blum has developed a more holistic approach to Jewish education. That starts with strengthening the ties between the preschool, where she has been very involved, and the synagogue.
“We don’t want the families [that identify as Jewish] to think of us just as a necessary service in their likes; we hope they see Beth Chaim as their spiritual community as well,” she says. Blum has also created more opportunities for parents to be involved in their children’s training for their b’nai mitzvahs, ceremonies where thirteenyear-olds first take on the responsibilities required of an adult Jew by reading Torah and leading services. “I’m not working with students in a vacuum, but really creating it as a family milestone and working with the family as a whole,” Blum says. One program she initiated is a sixweek family class. She has also worked with the current b’nai mitzvah families to get their feedback on the process and “to reenvision what it can look like.” Not only did it help her understand their perspectives, but, she says, “Those families felt heard.” Blum also changed the way the students interact with their Torah portion, by having them write a “Dvar Torah,” their own take on the weekly reading from the first five books of the Bible. “Before they created a summary, and now they really dive deep into the meaning of the Torah portion,” she says. Blum also instituted an interfaith family Shabbat, she says, “to honor non-Jewish family members in the congregation who are committed to having a Jewish family.” She herself grew up in an interfaith family, where she learned important lessons that would affect the character of her rabbinate. “Not only am I very sensitive to issues around interfaith families, but also those same issues have really helped me understand inclusion writ large: how do we help everyone who might feel on the outside feel included in our community,” she says. Blum’s vision of inclusion also encompasses gender. “We as a staff have been learning a lot about gender identity and are trying to use inclusive language to show that we are a safe place for anyone of any gender identity, including using pronouns in emails as a marker,” she says. Inclusion also means making people feel as comfortable as possible with the prayer services. In that vein Blum transitioned the congregation to a new prayer

book that transliterates all the prayers and uses more contemporary language, which makes it “much more accessible.” Inclusion can also be communal. Blum is closely involved with other religious leaders in West Windsor and those in the Windsor-Hightstown Area Ministerium, or Wham, where she served as president between 2017 and 2019. She has also worked closely with the Muslim Center of Greater Princeton in West Windsor on community-wide interfaith dialogue, especially in response to current events. And, she adds, “we have had an incredible response from the mosque whenever an anti-Semitic incident in the news.” Engaging difficult demographics, like young families and teens, is a challenge for many synagogues, Beth Chaim included. Beth Chaim is thinking strategically about how to engage young families who do not have children in Beth Chaim’s preschool, and Blum describes two ideas. The first is to partner with Wendy Soos, executive director of the JCC Princeton Mercer Bucks and Abrams Camps. The camp has a large audience of unaffiliated families and will also be running PJ Library, which provides free Jewish books to young children and also plans programs to engage parents. The second idea is to reach outside the Jewish world. “We need to start thinking out of building to engage these young families,” Blum says. That could mean doing programming in local libraries and community centers, places they

West Windsor resident Elisabeth Oosterhoff is pictued at the United Nations, where she works as a human resources partner. She recently published her book, “The Many Faces of Happiness.” OOSTERHOFF continued from Page 1 had with a messenger to her job at the United Nations, Oosterhoff decided on Dec. 31, 2009, that she would spend the next year interviewing a person a day. Oosterhoff set out on her mission armed with three prompts. She asked people to list three things that make them happy, recall the happiest moments in their life and define happiness in their terms while describing what makes them happy “In the beginning, it was kind of scary: I had to force myself to go out there, especially once I ran out of friends, family, colleagues, neighbors, people I knew,” she says. “But after a while, I really looked forward to these daily encounters—I called them my happiness dates because, to me, they were dates with happiness.” Oosterhoff soon found herself talking to everyone. In “happiness dates” that lasted from 20 minutes to an hour and a half, she heard from people who not only ranged in age from 5 to 95 but also hailed from three different continents. For the most part, her efforts were met with success. “If I got an interview that wasn’t so good, I’d find someone else,” Oosterhoff says. “Usually I have very good antenna, but some people weren’t receptive to my questions at all, so I talked to more that 365 people to make sure I had good answers every day.” As Oosterhoff went further beyond her comfort zone to seek out new people to talk to, she became more aware of needing to distill her approach into more of a conversation and less of an interrogation. “There was a lot of give and take—I use the word ‘dance’ because it came to be a lot like one,” she explains. “They would give me their stories, people shared all these things with me. So I always tried to share something back so they wouldn’t feel that I was only taking from them.” It became clear that Oosterhoff’s need to offer reciprocity wasn’t just actively giving advice if someone’s stories followed a similar path to her own history.
10The News | March 2020
She soon found that simply asking people to consider their happiness was the spark of inspiration they needed to reconsider if they were satisfied with the lives they’d been living. “They told me personal stories, and I made people think about things,” Oosterhoff says. “There was this one guy, he had just quit his job after many years. He was pushing 50 and had two kids in college. In the end, he thanked me because I made him think about what he really wants in life.” The results of what Oosterhoff calls her “happiness project” yielded a 275page book—carefully whittled down from the original 1,500-page, single-spaced manuscript—that’s chock-full of lovingly rendered interviews. Each person’s chapter isn’t just left as a Q&A transcript but rather polished into narrated vignettes that reflect the personal nature and unique feeling of that particular exchange. After all, one of the most prevailing lessons Oosterhoff learned is that happiness is an extraordinarily personal matter. “Happiness is a very private thing,” she says. “How each person finds happiness will be different because everybody has different values and values different things.” But there were some recurring themes that Oosterhoff was surprised to learn would become the prevailing trends in what makes people happy. Family and friends “were the two big, big ones,” she reports, followed closely by helping others as well as traveling, enjoying food and drinks, being active, indulging creative expression, nature, art, faith and music. But it was the answers she didn’t hear a lot that surprised her the most. “I noticed something interesting: It was very few people who mentioned that their happiness came from their jobs and even less said money—only two people mentioned money,” Oosterhoff says. “It was mostly women who mentioned their jobs as a factor of happiness. I was sur-
IMPLANT OR Not to be combined with prised by that.” In the decade since she began her happiness project, Oosterhoff has dealt with her husband being transferred abroad and numerous heath scares. And while she knows that it’s impossible to be happy all the time, she has embraced the constants she noticed in her quest to explore what is ultimately the action of happiness. “People think I’m happy all the time— nobody can be happy all the time because happiness can’t exists without unhappiness,” she says. “I think it is so important to be grateful because I’ve learned that gratitude is a big, big part of happiness. Gratitude is a choice and happiness is a choice, too. It’s a difficult choice sometimes. I interviewed a lady who said it very well: You have to choose a happy lens. We can all choose different lenses to see the world through, but choose the happy lens. And if you can’t, another thing that I learned from these happiness dates and try to apply is to fake it until you make it.” The biggest takeaways Oosterhoff learned from bringing The Many Faces of Happiness to life are uplifting lessons told by people who shared both their happiest stories and darkest tales with her. Having such an intimate look at so many different people’s lives altered her own perspective for the better. That cumulative positive impact is a big reason why she felt it was finally time to bring the project she initiated a decade ago into the world. “That’s why I felt so strongly, when I got my clean bill of health, about sharing all that happiness that people have
shared with me—I wanted to pass it forward,” she says. “I think that’s my goal with this book, I want to make people feel less alone because I think when you share stories and we see that other people go through similar problems it makes us feel less alone.” Oosterhoff now does readings from her book at local libraries, nursing homes and events to bring her and 365 other individuals’ thoughts on happiness to the community. Coming up, she’ll be adding a musical twist by giving readings set to music, as she’ll showcase at a March 8 International Women’s Day event in Princeton at the Princeton Italian-American Sportsmen’s Club at 2 p.m. Call (609) 658-4528 for more information. Oosterhoff says she feels that sharing what she learned in the past 10 years is the least she can do in the give-and-take dance and active pursuit of happiness. “I think that if people, and I’m including myself, thought more about other people’s happiness and making other people happy, I think we would become happier,” Oosterhoff says. “A lady I was interviewing said that when she feels blue, she does something to make other people happy, like bake cookies or write a card or buy them a gift because when they get happy, she gets happy. “I think that when we take a little of the attention off ourselves, when we are grateful with what we have, when we choose to find something to be happy about, that’s where happiness comes from. We need to realize that most things pass: You can be unhappy today but tomorrow you can always be happier.”

What’s happening in West Windsor in 2020 Interview by Bill Sanservino and Alexa Johnston Last year saw the resolution of a longtime thorn West Windsor’s side, when a state judge approved a settlement of litigation over the amount of affordable housing the town to provide over the next five years (1,500 units). While the settlement provided a great deal of clarity on the impact of future residential development in town, there are a number of outstanding issues that must be dealt with by Mayor Hemant Marathe and other township officials. Chief among them is future development in the township, the completion of a master plan review, absorbing residents from a number of new housing developments being built in the near future, and attracting new ratables to the town while keeping taxes down. Marathe sat down to talk about these, and a number of other issues, on Feb. 5 with Bill Sanservino, editor of The News, and Alexa Johnston, a senior at High School South who is working as an intern at the newspaper this semester. Below is an edited version of that interview. *** West Windsor-Plainsboro News: One of the developments that will have the biggest impact on town is the transit village at the Princeton Junction train station.

Windsor will do our part, and we’ll have that. That will reduce a lot of pressure on Washington Road, that it currently faces. WWP: Speaking of general development plans, Princeton appeared before the planning board with its GDP in Januar y. What was the result of that? HM: We had three meetings, and we approved their GDP for them. It’s a 20-year plan, and that plan also requires a road within their property that they are going to build at their own expense parallel to Route 1. Then depending on what they actually come up with, they’ve offered to connect it to the bypass, if the state decides to build one across Route 1 or connect it to Harrison Street. WWP: You should have gotten them to build an overpass as they did in Plainsboro. The town got Princeton to build the one at College Road. HM: Oh, I didn’t know that. That’s good to know. They do have a lot of money. That’s why they’ve offered— and we accepted that offer—to build the road and maintain the road. That will reduce some traffic pressure. WWP: Do they have any plans to put any housing on the property? HM: Yes. It’s going to be graduate student housing. One of the good things is that its taxable property, so it’s not going to be tax-exempt. (Because Princ-

MARATHE continued from Page 13 well they sell, they will decide the speed of their development based on that. But they are all coming in with their plans. So they are spending money to at least develop plans to get an approval. I’m not complaining if they do it slowly. I wish they would build the commercial part first before they build a residential part. Right now, that one and then the one by the train station are definitely coming son. There are approvals for four buildings at the Ellsworth Shopping Center. He has finished two, and he has rented all the apartments on top. Sean (Ellsworth) told me that he rented it within a week, and a half of those who rented don’t even have a car. That’s ideal for us. That’s the whole attraction of being close to the train station. WWP: Council is going to be considering a redevelopment of a conglomeration of parcels that were bought up by a developer on Route 1 north near Washington Road. Can you talk about what’s happening there? HM: I’m told the developer has been buying properties since 2007, so he had had some discussions with Mayor Hsueh. I don’t know what those discussions were. When I became mayor, they came up with the proposal to build three businesses there, and because the frontage is on Route 1 it made sense to me. I said to go ahead at least show me a plan to see whether that will work. Of course, people living next to it don’t like
anything being developed there, and I can understand their point of view. So they did come and make a lot of comments in the council meeting, and as a result of that, we did amend the ordinance to put in five or six conditions that provides some kind of protection to the neighbors, especially the neighbors that are right next to it. There is a requirement of putting in a very tall berm. There is a restriction on the hours of operation. There are four or five conditions that were a direct result of input from the residents in that area. I believe that project will make that area look better and will help even the neighbors rather than hurt because right now it doesn’t look good. And as someone pointed out to me, once the state expands Route 1, the noise from Route 1 is going to be 50 times more than the noise that this development will generate. Putting a buffer between the two properties will protect them from the noise throughout the day. I mean at night this thing may generate more noise than Route 1, but during the day it’s going to be positive for them in the sense that it will at least buffer the noise coming from
The county owes us three different (road) projects, and none of them have moved as fast as I would have liked.

Route 1. At night we have put restrictions that it’s open only from, I believe, 5 a.m. to midnight, so that helps them a little bit. Currently, the area doesn’t look good at all. We don’t know yet what the uses will be there, but I think it will be much nicer. WWP: Do you know what’s going in there yet? HM: It’s really a Catch-22. Until you have the zoning and ordinance in place, no business wants to commit to the developer. So the developer needs to know that the zoning is in place before you can approach and sign on the dotted line. The neighbors want to know what’s going there before the ordinance is passed so that they will feel comfortable. But the developer can’t tell them what’s going there until he knows what’s allowed and what’s not allowed. It’s a delicate balance for the mayor and the council to walk, but I believe that we have provided them as much protection as we can. One of the things I keep telling them is that that’s by far the smallest development happening in town. I mean if you look at everything else going, even next to Rite Aid, the development there is larger than the development going on Route 1. And in that corner, if you take those that project plus what’s happening at Ellsworth’s, that’s definitely so much larger than whatever is happening at Route 1. In that stretch (of Princeton-Hightstown Road) there are gas stations with a total of probably 24 pumps, and at least two of them are open 24 hours a day. And one has a convenience store that’s open 24 hours a day. So it’s not as if we are picking on any particular section of town. It’s happening all over, and I keep telling folks that unless we can generate some commercial development, they will say the taxes are not affordable, and they will have to move. That’s why there’s an effort to attempt to generate commercial development to take some sting out of all the taxes that are coming because of the kids coming into the school district. WWP: What’s going on with the county and the improvements to Route 571/Princeton-Hightstown Road through downtown Princeton Junction? HM: They were supposed to come back last summer. Then they said the fall, and they haven’t come back. I’m going to go and talk to the county executive. They have done a study and we gave them some comments, so they gave it back to the contractor who did the study for them. I was a little disappointed that they haven’t gotten back to the township. They’re going to do it in two phases. One from Cranbury Road up to Alexander Road, and then from Alexander to High School South. We are request-
ing them to hold an open house where people can come and see the plans, ask questions and understand what they are trying to do. Then we will go ahead with the project. Actually, the county owes us three different projects, and none of them have moved as fast as I would have liked. One is 571, the second is the intersection of Clarksville and North Post road. People want a dedicated left-turn lane there. They’re doing a study. The county has told me flat out that the intersection is at capacity. So whatever changes they do are going to make will be a marginal improvement, not magical. They have finished the study, but they haven’t come back with the solution there. And then we have agreement with the county to add a dedicated right turn lane to Edinburg Road at the intersection with Old Trenton Road where the deli (Village Pantry) is. That also hasn’t moved as fast as I would have liked. We are sharing expenses on the project. The county is going to pay 50% of expenses. They are doing engineering studies there, and the delay may have more to do with Jersey Central Power and Light because they’re supposed to move one of the light poles and that hasn’t happened. But I’m hoping to get it done. WWP: As you know, everybody is concerned about taxes, and the budget season is coming up. What do you anticipate people are going to see this year? HM: The tax rate will be relatively stable. Since I got elected as mayor, I have said I just want to be honest budgeting. So we are trying to take less and less from surplus every year and budget as honestly as we possibly can on both the expenses and the revenues. In my first year, we generated over $600,000 surplus. That essentially covered all the deficits of the last four years that the township had generated, so we are back to where we were five years ago as far as the surplus is concerned. Last year’s books are closed, but I still haven’t looked at all the numbers. I am optimistic we will generate surplus this year also, which will make budgeting a little easier in the coming year. I expect not to raise taxes either this year or next year. WWP: Are there any big impacts that you know of in terms of revenues or expenses? HM: Not that I know of right now. Last year we had three or four that increased by roughly $40,000 each, but not this year yet. I mean, I haven’t done a full budget. Actually, we are meeting this Friday to go over the first parts of the budget, so after Friday I’ll know much better. But nothing out of the ordinary. Thankfully even the health care premium is controlled or a little less than what it was last year. So that’s a good help. WWP: Will the legal budget be a little smaller since you settled the affordable housing litigation? HM: We still have a few loose ends to tie in there, but yeah, I’m hoping the legal budget will be a lot less than what it was last year. Again, on that front, we try to manage as best as we can. When we don’t need a
lawyer at the council meeting, we request him not to come, because really I’m at most meetings. I served as school board president nine years and never needed a lawyer at the meeting. So hopefully we are managing the legal budget in that sense by reducing the need for lawyers at various places. WWP: You mentioned solar. What kind of solar initiatives has the town considered? HM: We approved solar canopies at Carnegie Center, so they are going to have five different parking lots with solar. The one at the mosque (on Old Trenton Road) is already up. We are encouraging people to do something. It generates cleaner energy and is better for the tenant. It’s a win-win for everybody. WWP: Lawrence Township recently put up solar canopies in the parking lot at their municipal building/police station. The project is actually providing about 85% of the power that they need for in the municipal building and the police building and it was paid for by the solar company. Do you think West Windsor would consider something like that? HM: Absolutely. I have put out feelers that if there’s any company who is interested in doing that in the municipal center. WWP: Apparently, the solar company somehow gets to profit off the project, and that’s why they do it at no cost. Lawrence township says that its saving upwards of $60,000 a year in energy costs.
HM: That’s not bad for no outlay out of pocket. If there’s anybody who is interested in doing it at the municipal building, I’ll be happy to talk to them and get it done. There wouldn’t be much impact on residents, there’s no houses nearby and it doesn’t take away any prime real estate. And in winter, the employees will be happy that they don’t have to clean off the car when it snows, and we won’t have to clean the parking lot that much. WWP: After you were elected mayor you started the nonprofit West Windsor Gives Back. They’re now in their third year of activity and the past two they worked on projects to benefit the Princeton Junction Volunteer Fire Company and the West Windsor Police Department. How do you feel about how it’s worked out so far? HM: I am really happy about it. To be very honest, the ladies involved in the project do all the work. I get the credit but only do a little, and they’ve done a fantastic job. The only thing I feel bad about is the location where we hold the Mayor’s Ball fundraiser (Mercer County Park Marina and Boathouse). It’s restricted to only 150 people. The first year we were worried about whether we would be able to sell
those tickets, and we sold out. In the second year, we sold out in literally two days. The first year we did the police department and last year was the Princeton Junction Fire Company. This year we are going to raise money for the West Windsor Arts Council, and next year will be the West Windsor Fire Department for their 100th anniversary. West Windsor Gives Back also holds various events throughout the year. Small events where the community can come together. Last year, because of the weather, the Dive Into Summer got postponed from early into the season into middle of the season, and that worked out great. A lot of people came to the pool, and lot of them didn’t even know that the pool existed, so that was a positive thing for the town and for the community. Last year they introduced various members of the fire company at the Mayor’s Ball. It’s a shame that a lot of people in West Windsor don’t even know that we have two completely volunteer fire companies. We are fortunate to have such large volunteer fire companies, which saves the taxpayers a lot of money, and which give them service very quickly when a call goes out.
It’s a shame that a lot of people in West Windsor don’t even know that we have two completely volunteer fire companies.
WWP: Just for clarification, all of the money that they raise—including the mayor’s ball—all goes to the nonprofit, right? HM: Yes, 100 percent goes to the nonprofit. Because we wanted to avoid any conflict or even an appearance of conflict, West Windsor Gives Back doesn’t even have a bank account. They don’t have a tax ID number. They don’t collect a single penny. For example, this year you have to write a check to the West Windsor Arts Council directly. All the money goes directly to the charity. WWP: In the past, there was some controversy because the mayor at the time held a mayor’s ball that was a political fundraiser that raised funds for his re-election campaign. HM: I wanted to be very transparent and very clear, and that’s exactly why I insisted that we not have any tax ID or nonprofit status or even touch the money. So for two years, we haven’t touched a single penny. Every penny that comes in comes directly in the name of the charity of that year, and it goes directly into their books. That way nobody can ask any questions as to what happened to the money. WWP: In your 2018 State of the Township speech you mentioned building a sports complex in town. Has there been any progress made toward constructing it? HM: That sports complex thing hasn’t moved on as I expected. That’s the unfortunate thing. It’s a little more involved than I originally thought, but there are See MARATHE, Page 16

MARATHE continued from Page 15 a couple of different developers in town who own land, and who have approached me to build something like that. There’s definitely need of an indoor sports facility, especially for soccer, and soccer folks are very much interested in that. I have put a few people in touch with each other. If not on the township property, it will happen someplace in town. WWP: Do you have any other ideas to help create a stronger community in West Windsor? HM: A couple of people have approached me about holding various events around town just to get people together, and I’m pursuing that idea. For example, a group of ladies held karaoke night at the firehouse that was a fundraiser for the West Windsor fire station. It doesn’t have to be fundraising. We just want to get people together to meet with each other and meet people who they don’t necessarily know.
There was a gentleman who used to hold meet-and-greets at the Hyatt. He, unfortunately, moved to India, so they don’t happen anymore. But those kinds of things are neat ideas because they bring people together. We have Trunk or Treat at the park, and that generates a lot of community coming together. At a lot of these events I go to, I realize how big the community is because there are a lot of people that I don’t recognize. That just tells me how big the community is. We will be talking about it more this year, flush out the idea, and we will do something. WWP: What are some things that the town is doing to keep younger people interested in the community? HM: To be very honest, it’s tough to keep college graduates invested in the town. My daughters, they want to go to cities like New York or San Francisco to work. It’s tough. But on the flip, Boston Properties,

which owns Carnegie Center, they tell me that they are trying to attract businesses where Millennials are working for them. Those people want to stay close to their work, so all the development that’s going to happen next to the Carnegie Center by Meadow Road should help attract young folks. The train station development will attract a lot of young folks. There will be 12,000 square feet of retail, which will help them stay in the town. There is zoning there for a brewery, and I think a lot of people want a brewery in town. Hopefully, we’ll be able to attract one. So we are taking on baby steps to make it more attractive to live in West Windsor. We are trying to keep the small-town feeling, but when you have 30,000 residents and going on 35,000, that’s a little difficult to do. One of the new police officers we hired is a graduate of WW-P. That makes me very happy and proud that one of the kids who went through our school system is coming back to serve the community. That’s the kind of things we hope that will happen. On Alexander Road, there are four or five different sports kind of things. There is a ping-pong and there is an ax-throwing place that just opened there. I didn’t even know that was a sport. A lot of businesses in Carnegie Center have already booked parties there. We are trying to do as many things like that as we can. Each one of them may not be big by itself, but together they will help us build the sense of the community. WWP: Is there anything that you would like to talk about that hasn’t been touched on? Any messages you’d like to get out to the residents? HM: People always ask me how I feel.

I mean, I’m really happy. I always say nobody put a gun to my head. I wanted to do this. I ran because I wanted to be mayor. I thought I could do a good job, and I’m very happy that I got the opportunity to lead this community. This is a great community and people are involved and people should stay involved. They should ask a lot of questions and demonstrate that we can work together. I mean not everybody is going to agree on everything. I mean, even the Penns Neck development. They are people who say we don’t want anything you’d rather have it just like that. But once we explain that, “look something is going to happen,” They’re working with us. Let’s be a model in this world, which is very polarized, to say that people with different philosophies can still work together. We may not agree on 100% of things, but at least we can work together to do something better for the community. Just demonstrate what’s supposed to be a neighbor. Just be friendly. I mean you may disagree with them politically you may disagree with them on a particular issue, but everybody comes to their decision based on their prior experience, their upbringing, their own way of thinking. In 99% of cases, there is no right or wrong way, it’s just through your perception and how you look at it. I’m very pleased that most people see that in West Windsor. I’m very happy with the way things are going. People know each other, people support each other, and that’s a good thing for the community. That is what will build the sense of community as best as we can given the size of the town.

Meals on Wheels of Mercer teams up with local restaurants By Nicole Viviano Meals on Wheels of Mercer County will take part in the nonprofit’s national initiative this March to raise donations for its charity-based nutritional program. March for Meals has recruited local, small restaurants to participate in the month-long promotion sponsored by Meals on Wheels America. Last year, the promotion contributed $13,810 to MOW of Mercer County, helping them to continue serving their community, which now includes Lawrence as of last year. About five years ago, Meals on
Wheels of Mercer County decided to use this initiative to highlight the issue of senior hunger in their community. Their slogan, “Dine Out to Stamp Out Senior Hunger,” is meant to bring to people’s attention the nearly 553 participants that MOW served last year, 88% of whom were over the age of 60 and 60% at high nutritional risk. The funds that are raised by March for Wheels will help subsidize meals for the people who can’t afford to contribute toward their MOW meals. MOW has found restaurateurs to supply things such as specialty menu items, discounted products and a percentage of

purchases towards donations.. Deciding what to feature for their March for Wheels involvement is usually left up to the owners. Some of those establishments who have pledged their time and efforts have been doing so for years. In Ewing, Café 72 will be having a specialty pancake for the month and Piccolo Trattoria will offer a special pizza. In Lawrence, Leonardo’s is participating during the weekdays during their early bird dining time. Many other locations will either be featuring a date that they will donate from or other special deals. Robert Pluta, owner of Leonardo’s and life-long resident of Lawrence, has been involved with the March for Meals initiative for about three years. Pluta stated that the initiative usually gets a good turn out on their participating days and encourages patrons to come out to donate to the local MOW. “It’s a win-win,” he said. “It’s good for local business, and it’s good to support the cause.” Pluta was involved with the initiative through the Lawrence Meals on Wheels, before they consolidated with MOW of Mercer County last year. Pluta is just one community member who has continued to support the local MOW. Ewing’s Blooming Grove Inn is another business that will be featured this March. They will be donating $1 to MOW for every bottle of beer sold throughout the month, including all domestic and craft bottles.
“Say cheers, order a beer, it’s going towards a great cause,” owner Steve Jordan said. What started out as six restaurants when MOW got involved with March for Meals has grown to nearly 25 throughout the county. When travelling around town this March, look for the, “Proud Supporter of March for Meals,” sticker in the window to identify which restaurants have partnered with the initiative. Also, by going online to the MOW of Mercer County website (mealsonwheelsmercer.org ) there is a current list of participating restaurants in the county along with descriptions of certain offerings provided by specific establishments. “All people have to do is go out to eat and either purchase the entrée item that’s identified or go on the specific day,” said Sasa Olessi Montano, MOW of Mercer County CEO. “It’s very, very easy.” The Mercer County branch had its biggest gain of territory back in 2016 when they took over servicing Princeton, East Windsor, West Windsor and Hightstown, but their recent expansion has absorbed the Lawrence Meals on Wheels and their clients. Last January, the Lawrence MOW branch that had been around since 1982 shut down to come under MOW of Mercer County’s management. All continuing Lawrence volunteers were transferred to MOW of Mercer County.

Camps in and around WWP The Dance Corner Explore the world of dance this summer The Dance Corner (located next to McCaffrey’s in the Southfield Shopping Center in West Windsor) believes exceptional dance instruction should emphasize more than dance. From preschoolers just beginning to appreciate music and movement to seasoned preprofessional dancers, TDC offers options that encourage students to explore new styles, challenge their abilities, grow in technique, build confidence, and make lasting memories with new friends. Owner Amy DeCesare wants her students to think of TDC as a second home, a place where they can learn while feeling supported and valued. “Some students take up to nine classes a week, with most averaging three classes a week. Often students start with just one class and then feel so empowered, they want to take more classes. Seeing the confidence

my instructors instill in them is very gratifying.” TDC students hail from as far as Robbinsville, Monroe, Allentown, Montgomery, and Hamilton, in addition to the immediate area. The Dance Corner is more than ballet. The studio strives to
foster personal, technical, and artistic growth at all ages, levels, and styles. “The Dance Corner is special because we offer all types of high-quality dance instruction rather than concentrating on just one form of dance,” DeCesare notes proudly. Offering more than

necessary to play competitively in any soccer league. “This is a chance to have professional trainers work with you on soccer. Our goal in the club to develop soccer skills for players at all skill levels. We have a great coaching staff for our summer camps who provide instruction with a goal of increasing skills through a variety of teaching techniques. It is an opportunity for camp participants to improve their skills — their technical and tactical soccer skills — through a variety of exercises,” said Brent Nielsen, WWPSA board member. Full day camps run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with 30 minutes for lunch at noon and an optional 30-minute swim period before the afternoon session. For the half day camps, parents have the option of choosing the morning or afternoon session. “All of our activities and games are structured for learning and fun,” Nielsen said. “Campers will play a game at the end of each day to solidify skills learned and engage in friendly competition.” Monday camps will focus on dribbling and mastery of the soccer ball with emphasis on agility. On Tuesdays, campers will work on passing, receiving, and turning while concentrating on the
importance of teamwork. Attacking play and scoring lead the activities for Wednesdays with afternoon emphasis on fitness, core exercises, and yoga. Thursday’s accent is on defensive moves and preventing scoring. Psychosocial communication is the special emphasis in the afternoon. Friday presents a different approach with soccer tennis, a game that meshes soccer, tennis, and volleyball. Friday’s schedule also includes soccer golf which involves kicking a soccer ball into a cup. Competitive soccer games will fill out the day on Friday. WWSPA’s goal is to provide youth and adults the opportunity to play instructional and competitive soccer at the highest level commensurate with their ability, potential, and interest. In that light, WWPSA offers spring and fall soccer programs for pre-K through 12th grade students. Spring programs will run from April 6, 2019, to until May 25, 2019. Information about spring and fall programs can be found on the WWPSA website, adding additional opportunities for local youth.

Three-sport athlete Gartenberg has best season as a junior By Justin Feil Emma Gartenberg is one of the increasingly rare athletes who plays three sports in a sports culture that lends itself to specialization. The junior plays girls’ soccer, basketball and lacrosse at High School South, but that can’t be too big of a surprise. She has never been one to enjoy downtime. “Ever since I was younger, I was always doing stuff,” Gartenberg said. “I would go outside and climb my neighbor’s trees. I would always keep busy. It wasn’t always a sport, but I had to do something. “Three seasons is really good for me, because I enjoy all three sports that I play. I can never pick just one to only focus on. I like meeting people from school to rec, and the relationships I make with people from different sports, it’s really nice.” Gartenberg hasn’t lost her love of activity as a high school student. It’s in her DNA. Her parents and grandparents are all big sports fans and she grew up watching and playing athletics. “I definitely needed sports,” Gartenberg said. “I had so much energy when I was younger. I would play with my neighbors. We’d play every sport, it doesn’t matter if I don’t play it now.
We were so active playing outside, running around in our backyards. I always needed to be active. That’s why I like playing three sports. Even to this day, I need to be active. I still need something to do, or I’ll have extreme boredom.” Gartenberg doesn’t let herself get bored. She looks at her athletic endeavors as a way of cross-training. “Each sport takes different skills— like footwork, and ball-handling, which helps basketball and lacrosse,” she said. “Each sport piggybacks off the other and helps me be more successful in each sport. There are different styles of play in each sport, and I can apply it to the other sports I play.” Gartenberg played travel soccer and lacrosse growing up and played recreational basketball. She was coached by her father. “Since first grade basketball, my dad has always been my coach and my brother’s coach,” Gartenberg said. “He’s taught me basically everything I need to know... My dad trained me like a real coach, like an AAU coach. He’s played basketball and watched the greatest NBA players and tried to help me be the best I can be. He’s turned me into the player I am today.” Gartenberg has developed into a leader and a standout for the girls’
High School South’s Emma Gartenberg shoots the ball during a recent game. basketball team. The only returning starter from an eight-win team in 2019, she enjoyed her best high school season to date for a rebuilt Pirates squad that equaled last year’s win total Feb. 11 when they swept rival High School North, 36-21. “It’s a really great feeling,” said Gartenberg, who had 10 points and 13 rebounds in the win to improve to 8-12.
“We scheduled them twice because we wanted to beat them twice obviously,” she said. “We beat them in January, and it felt so great because it’s the first time our program has beaten them in years so that win was emotional in a good way.” The wins were the first over WW-P North for the Pirates since 2015. Gartenberg, who was only in sixth grade at the time, is seeing the program start to turn the corner and raise its standards under new head coach Bryan Fisher. The Pirates have been more competitive even with four new starters. “There are so many more games that we lost by five four or five points (this year) that we got blown out in last year,” Gartenberg said. “I think it’s confidence in each other and trust that we have, and we’re playing more as a team this year than the past two years I’ve been on the team.” Gartenberg has helped to bring along the less experienced members of the Pirates. She knows what the new players are feeling having been in their shoes two years ago, then as the lone freshman starter and player on the South varsity squad. She has tried to be fostering for teammates and create that same culture to welcome this year’s new varsity players. They have worked to build relationships

with each other, like the entire program eating together at Aljon’s Pizza. “We got to escape the school life and hang out with each other and make new friends with the underclassmen and people we haven’t talked to before,” Gartenberg said. “Getting pizza together was a turning point in our program and unified all three levels as one, which is what Coach Fisher and all three coaches encourage.” On the court, Gartenberg has set an example with her work ethic and consistency. She picked up her eighth doubledouble in the win over North, and she has had double-digit rebounds in all but three games this year. “Her effort is always outstanding. She’s a double-double girl every game almost,” Fisher said. “She’s getting double digits in points and she’s getting rebounds. It’s a lot to shoulder being the only girl back. She’s done a fantastic job.” What has been most valuable about Gartenberg’s play is her consistency and her competitiveness. Those examples are important for the younger Pirate players, who have stepped in to help the team. Shira Black had nine points and Kavya Karra, a freshman county tennis champion last fall, had six assists and eight steals in the win over North. WW-P South has gotten contributions up and down their new lineup this season. “It shocked me that they were so ready to play,” Gartenberg said. “You can sometimes see, even I can be still inexperienced, and they’ve stepped up
and we play more as a team and people filled into roles. It felt like we’ve been playing together for a few years and not just a month and a half.” It’s just a start for Fisher, who brought back Beth Fitzpatrick to coach the Pirates freshman team and Lauren Small to coach JV. He has watched the young team grow through the season and is looking forward to starting where they leave off. “The losses are lessons. The wins are lessons,” Fisher said. “It’s a big learning year for us. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of young women. They’re a lot of fun to be around. They’re positive and there’s a lot of good spirit. We’re excited for the future. We do have a young team. We graduate four girls and we’re bringing back everybody. We’re excited for where we see ourselves in ’20-’21.” Gartenberg is excited too as she thinks about her senior year. But it will have to wait two more seasons. She is on to her next sport, lacrosse, for the spring and then there is soccer next fall. “After soccer season, it’s a whole new different sport I get to play and I get to build up my confidence for and showcase my skills there,” Gartenberg said. “And then the next season is lacrosse and it’s a totally different game. I keep switching things up while playing a sport at different times throughout the year. I do a sport for a while and then I do a different sport. It’s good for me to keep busy. I have friends from each sport. I look forward to the next sport and the next year.”

Teamwork and depth lead to North swimming success Bu Justin Feil Mike Wojtenko was a perfect example of the talent and depth that it took the High School North boys’ swimming team to earn its first sectional championship. The sophomore started his day with a second-place finish behind teammate Jimmy Zhen in the 200 freestyle for big points for the Knights, and held off Princeton High’s most accomplished swimmer to win the 500 free and help top-seeded North win, 100-70, over third-seeded Princeton in the Central Jersey Group B public final on Feb. 14. “I knew we had a special team,” Wojtenko said. “I knew it’d be tough to beat some of the other teams in the section.” Ethan Yuen won the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke, Zhen captured the 100 free and 200 free, and Steve Kim took the 100 butterfly. Crosby Davidson and Alex Ho were key contributors as the points built up. Wojtenko was also a part of the winning 200 and 400 free relays. “I think it’s cool that I’m able to contribute to the team for our first sectional tournament,” Wojtenko said. “There are a lot of other kids too. I know it’s not all me. I’m just trying to help the cause and do whatever it takes to win.” The Knights used strong swims across the board to remain unbeaten on the season heading into the Public B semifinals against Mainland. Wojtenko’s 500 win
may have been the least certain of the victories. He went up against Princeton’s most versatile swimmer and delivered a win after falling to him earlier in the year. “I did the same thing that I did before,” Wojtenko said. “I stuck to what I trained for. I didn’t do anything different, but I got a confidence boost from sticking close to him and getting a couple best times. I knew I could improve in certain areas and I knew I could catch up and get him this time.” WW-P North’s power and depth have helped it foster its best season in history. The Knights were 12-0 in the regular season, placed second for their highest ever Mercer County Championship finish, and capped it with their first sectional crown. “I’m happy for our boys,” said North coach Todd Robinson, whose girls team also went unbeaten in the regular season plus won their second county meet in three years. “It’s been 20 years since North was established. We had a good group of guys. Sometimes records can be a little bit misleading. Even though our boys were undefeated, they did face some adversity that’s not evident when you glance at that record. This really proved to be a resilient group. As a coaching staff, we were certainly proud of them.” Wojtenko is in his second year on the team. The Knights were also good a year ago, but didn’t come out with the same results.

High School North swimmer Mike Wojtenko is a reliable distance swimmer and contributor in the relays. “I think we felt better this year,” Wojtenko said. “We added a lot of new pieces and we really had our confidence up. Because of the incoming freshmen and the returning swimmers that grew and developed, we knew we had a special team.” Wojtenko and the Knights are bigger and stronger this year. He has continued to develop into a reliable distance swimmer, as well as a contributor in the relays and is one of the important cogs in the team’s success. Wojtenko benefitted from having a year of experience. He was there last year when the Knights were knocked out before the sectional finals, and the different format was something he knew how to handle. “I have more experience not getting as much rest in meets as I’m accustomed to,” Wojtenko said. “I can get back up on the blocks after a rough swim and put that behind me and still be able to swim fast.” WW-P North had each other for motivation. They pushed each other to top swims and the crown. “We didn’t necessarily run a lineup that was all that different from what we would normally swim against a tough opponent,” Robinson said. “We did shift a couple guys around based on what we knew they had. We took a look at the county championship results and you never know where a coach will place their
top swimmers, especially when you have some versatile kids and both teams do. Overall, it was probably our depth that helped. We did win eight events overall so we had our middle lane swimmers do a fantastic job for us.” The sectionals came after the Knights narrowly lost at the county meet. The team was neck and neck with Pennington, which edged the Knights by three points for the team title. “We were all disappointed, but I think it helped our confidence,” Wojtenko said. “We knew that Pennington was a really tough team and we knew that they had really special swimmers.” Wojtenko had that same confidence in himself. He has been lowering his times, and felt good about his chances to score winning points for the team in the 500 free as well as the 200 free. “Even at counties, I had a personal best, and I knew I could still improve on that swim,” said Wojtenko of the 500. “I was optimistic in my chances.” Outside of swimming Wojtenko enjoys spending time with his dog and he plays the double bass for the school orchestra. His swimming talents have been focusing on the distance events since he started to swim competitively. He competes now outside of school for Hamilton Aquatics Club, and concentrates on distance for club as well. From an early age I was able to pace myself better and focus on my race and hold a pace for a longer time,” Wojtenko said. “I guess it’s a natural talent. Sometimes it can be challenging to get up there and realize you have to swim full speed for five minutes. Usually I’m able to clear that out and swim my fastest.” Wojtenko has been looking forward to representing the school on the swim team. His older sisters both swam for North, and while he went to some of their meets to cheer for them, he was excited to get his chance. “I really like the team aspect to high school swimming,” Wojtenko said. “We’re all really supporting each other and cheering for each other every time. In club swimming, it’s more of an individual kind of thing. You still have the team, but it’s a different animal. In high school, everyone is there to support each other. That’s a cooler aspect to it.”
