Council
seeks
review of
solar plan
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
West Windsor council mem-
bers passed a resolution dur-
ing a township council meet-
ing on April 30 requesting that
Mercer County Community
College present itself to the
West Windsor planning board
for a courtesy review of the
colleges plan to build an ap-
proximately 50-acre solar
panel farm on farmland off
Old Trenton Road.
The solar farm would bor-
der South Post Road on the
east side, Mercer County park
to the north, and would abut
Mercer County Community
College facilities on the west
side.
The council meeting drew a
crowd of West Windsor resi-
dents, mostly from along
South Post Road, who voiced
concerns about the solar pro-
jects possible effects on
drainage and storm-water
runoff as well as the loss of
open space and the financial
viability of the project.
South Post Road resident
Teresa Lourenco gave a de-
tailed account of her corre-
spondence by email with the
college.
She said the college held a
general meeting for concerned
residents last summer, but it
took the college several
months to set up another meet-
Annual farmers market opens
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
The West Windsor farmers
market has something for every-
one, from fresh local food to musi-
cal entertainment to great people
watching, manager Chris Cirkus
said.
And even if you dont buy any-
thing, she said, the market is a
great place to relax, mingle and
get to know the community.
Its a really amazing place to
spend my Saturdays, Cirkus
said.
This year marks the second
season Cirkus will spend as man-
ager of the market. For many
years, Cirkus said, she was a
shopper at the market.
I was pretty conscious of what
I fed my own family, she said.
Cirkus saw the position of
farmers market manager adver-
tised in the newspaper, applied
and ended up with the job.
Her job, Cirkus said, is mostly
logistical, and much of it involves
telling vendors where to set up for
the market, and helping with the
set-up as well.
Im the one that walks around
with a clipboard, she said.
Cirkus also represents the
farmers market administration
to vendors and shoppers.
Im the face of the market on
Saturdays, Cirkus said.
Along with Cirkus, the market
is run by nine board members
who take care of different as-
pects. A few of these are founder
and board member Mireille Del-
man, who helps with accounting
for the market, Tom Cooper, who
works on marketing, and Theresa
Best, who books entertainment
for market days.

Dutch Neck Elementary School in the West Windsor-Plainsboro
Regional School District held a very special Science Day with
38 presentation teams and 100 guest presenters. Students in
kindergarten through third grade had the opportunity to see
scientific experiments, presentations and demonstrations on
topics such as health and the human body, aviation/aeronau-
tics, geology, chemistry, space exploration, watersheds, ani-
mals, robotics, meteorology and more. Above, Grover Middle
School students from Rae McKennas science class presented a

High school students participate
in Champion Schools Program
Students at West Windsor
Plainsboro High School South are
hoping to bring home a driving
simulator for their school by
being the best in the state at per-
suading their peers to drive safely
and avoid distractions while on
the roads. The school is partici-
pating in the Champion Schools
Program, sponsored by the Brain
Injury Alliance of New Jersey,
New Jersey Division of Highway
Traffic Safety, New Jersey Manu-
facturers Insurance Company
and the Allstate Foundation.
A committee of juniors at High
School South worked together to
spread awareness of the dangers
of texting while driving to their
classmates during gym classes.
The students were shocked by
how much texting impairs the
drivers body.
Students experienced this first
hand, by using the drunk goggles
while trying to accomplish every-
day tasks. At the Texting While
Driving Challenge Day, students
were given the opportunity to
sign a Pirate Safe Driver
Pledge.
This pledge states a promise
that each student made to them-
selves to never text while operat-
ing a motor vehicle and to always
wear their seat belt. The commit-
tee also is in the process of con-
structing a Facebook page where
students can post about the dan-
gers of texting while driving and
learn more about the facts of tex-
ting while driving.
It is important to spread the
message of the dangers of texting
and driving because not every-
body knows the extreme dangers
that it brings.
A total of 31 schools spread
across 14 counties in New Jersey
are taking part in the contest. Stu-
dents and faculty may choose any
type of creative projects that will
make an impact on the student
community. Two of the 31 schools
will be chosen as overall winners
at the Project Showcase and
Awards event on Friday, May 11 at
iPlay America (www.iplayameri-
ca.com).
The winning schools will be
presented with driving simula-
tors to help train students in dri-
vers education classes. Check out
last years projects at www.ugot-

In New Jersey a teenager
crashes every 10 minutes, and
these crashes are the leading
cause of death and disability
among that age group, said Bar-
bara Geiger-Parker, president &

for creative students and faculty
to help change these statistics.
Teenagers and their family
members can find out more infor-
mation about driving safety at

Duck Season (2004), an
award-winning Mexican comedy
directed by Fernando Eimbcke
and written by Eimbcke and
Paula Markovitch, will be
screened on Friday, May 11, at 7:30
p.m. at the West Windsor Arts
Center, 952 Alexander Road,
Princeton Junction.
Tickets are $7/$6 Members of
West Windsor Arts Council.
Online box office and direc-
tions (free event parking) at
www.westwindsorarts.org or call
(609) 716-1931.
Screening of Duck Season
will be followed by a discussion
with Carlos Gutirrez, film pro-
grammer and distributor, who
specializes in recent trends in
Latin American Cinema.
Duck Season is part of the
new wave of Mexican Cinema
that is shaking up notions of
what Mexico and Mexican
themes mean to Mexicans and
non-Mexicans alike. Set in a well-
known apartment complex in
Mexico City, the story follows
Flama, a 14-year-old boy, and his
best friend Moko who have been
left by Flamas mother to their
own devices while she spends the
day running errands and visiting
friends.
With money for pizza and soda,
the boys happily gird themselves
for a perfect Sunday of video
games.
They are set until the power
goes out. What happens over the
course of the day and the rest of
the movie has the quirky feel of
Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat, as
seen through a post-modernist
lens.
Duck Season was a sensation
in Mexico upon its release in 2004.
It literally swept the Mexican Acad-
emy Awards (Arieles), winning
among other awards the best pic-
ture, best director, best actor in a
leading role, best actress in a lead-
ing role and best original screen-
play. This was Eimbckes first fea-
ture film and its exquisite tone is
reminiscent of two other first
films: Spike Lees Shes Gotta
Have It, and Jim Jarmuschs
Stranger Than Paradise.
The series features outstand-
ing, delightful and provocative
award-winning films from all
over the world and features dis-
cussions with fellow film buffs
and aficionado and is underwrit-
ten, in part, by PharmaNet/i3, a
leading provider of global drug
development services to pharma-
ceutical, biotechnology, generic
drug, and medical device compa-
nies.

event, Cirkus said.
Strains of bluegrass or coun-
try music provide an ambience
for the market as people shop or
sit. The entertainment also
makes the market even more fam-
ily-friendly.
Kids will get up and dance by
the music tent, she said.
Sometimes, the West Windsor-
Plainsboro High School North
steel drum band comes to play,
Cirkus said, which gets every-
ones attention.
They all wear Hawaiian
shirts, Cirkus said. The music
is very catchy.
But the main focus of the mar-
ket, of course, is the food. In its
first season in 2004, the market
drew eight farm vendors and one
bakery.
This season, the market has 15
farms and 13 non-farm vendors,
said Beth Feehan, board member
and co-founder of the market
with Delman.
During its first season, Feehan
said, the market drew maybe 200
to 300 people each Saturday. Now
around 500 to 700 people come on
market days, she said.
Ive seen the number of cus-
tomers increase every year, Fee-
han said.
New this year are vendors Pit-
spone Farm, FunniBonz Bar-
beque Sauces, Rubs and Mari-
nades, Sweetly Spirited Cup-
cakes, Joss and Jules Catering,
Stace of Cakes, Tumbleweed and
Eddies, and The Happy Wander-
er Bakery.
The market also brings in com-
munity groups that take turns
visiting.
The West Windsor Bicycle and
Pedestrian Alliance regularly at-
tends to give bicycle riding les-
sons to kids, as well as tips on
how to maintain and tune bicy-
cles. The University Medical Cen-
ter of Princeton offers blood pres-
sure screenings, and the Crisis
Ministry of Princeton and Tren-
ton runs a Yes We Can food
drive every other week at the
market.
Some people bring canned
goods to the food drive, Cirkus
said, but many also purchase
fresh produce at the market and

in our opinion
D
o you have an extra $1,300 that
you dont need and wouldnt
mind giving to the govern-
ment? Didnt think so.
But, if you live in New Brunswick,
your household is on the hook for
$1,330.68 when it comes to covering ac-
cumulated sick and vacation time for
public workers, according to the gover-
nors office.
Statewide, the governor estimates
that accumulated sick and vacation
time totals more than $825 million on
municipalities books.
Seems excessive. Or, rather, just
plain wrong.
As one of the exercise gurus from
the 80s or 90s said: Stop the insanity.
The Star-Ledger last week had a
great report on how a number of polit-
ical figures stand to cash out hand-
somely when they retire. It also points
out that, while some reform was
passed in 2010 capping new employees
payouts, theres still a lot of political
wrangling going on. The newspaper
reported that the Democrats want to
allow public workers to keep only the
time theyve accumulated, while Gov.
Christie wants to force employees to
use banked time when taking days in
the future, thereby reducing the num-
ber of payable days upon retirement.
For those of us in the private sector,
chances are the decision already has
been made: Were not banking any-
thing. Were lucky to have a job. Were
fighting rising health-care premiums
and the like, while probably not get-
ting much of a raise if any raise at
all.
So, the whole concept of banked
sick pay is foreign to us. Politicians
should take note.
It seems the governor and the De-
mocrats both recognize the larger
problem here, and, in fact, have
worked to address it moving forward
with new employees.
Lets hope that they can reach an
agreement on the details. Taxpayers
are footing some mighty big bills
now and will be in the future.
Sick means sick
Sick days are for when you are sick, not for when you retire
Sick day reform
The governor and Democrats already
have reached an agreement on bene-
fits for new employees. Now they
should be able to work out the details
on the big bills for which taxpayers
are still on the hook.
Lions Club eyeglass collection
during month of May
What do you do with your old eyeglasses
when the prescription changes or when
you or a loved-one no longer need them?
The West Windsor Lions Club partici-
pates in a unique nation-wide Lions Recy-
cle for Sight program, focused on the
month of May, to encourage the donation
of unwanted prescription eyeglasses for
distribution to the needy in developing
countries where eye care is often unafford-
able or inaccessible. An eye examination
could cost as much as one months income
in many of those countries.
The clear or tinted eyeglasses collected
in West Windsor are processed at the Lions
Clubs New Jersey Recycling Center, at
first through the Katzenbach School for the
Deaf in Ewing, where they are cleaned,
categorized by prescription and prepared
for distribution through international
health organizations.
Last year, the New Jersey Center
processed almost 1.2 million eyeglasses of
which 78,400 were distributed to 20 coun-
tries.
Unwanted eyeglasses can be dropped off
locally in identified boxes in McCaffreys
Supermarket, the West Windsor Senior
Center, the West Windsor Library and the
Village Elementary School.
Mothers Day plant sale
fundraiser on May 12
GroWW (Greening of West Windsor) is
having a Mothers Day plant sale fundrais-
er at Waterworks in Community Park (193
Princeton-Hightstown Road/Route 571 -
Corner of Slayback Drive and Bernt Mid-
land Boulevard), on May 12 from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
Popular herbs like basil, parsley, thyme,
rosemary, lavender and mint will be avail-
able for just $3 per pot, as well as chives,
dill, oregano, sage, tarragon and lemon
thyme. Hanging baskets and flowering
bushes will also be on sale.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will be
used for landscaping at the West Windsor
Arts Center. Volunteers from the West
Windsor Arts Center will offer free face
painting at the fundraiser.
Community Middle School and Grover
Middle School PTSA members will be at
the GroWW fundraiser collecting gently
used sporting equipment that will be do-
nated to local groups that provide athletic
opportunities to underprivileged children.
Do you have lacrosse equipment left be-
hind by your college-going son, or cleats
that your daughter barely wore before she
outgrew them? Help a needy child by
bringing in your gently used equipment
for baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse and
basketball.
Republicans sponsoring
public forum on May 9
The West Windsor Republicans are
sponsoring a public forum on the growth
and development of Windsor Plaza on
Princeton-Hightstown Road, Route 571 on
Wednesday, May 9, from 7 p.m. to 8:45 p.m.
at the West Windsor Library located at 333
North Post Road, Princeton Junction.
Formerly anchored by an Acme super-
market, Windsor Plaza is close to comple-
tion with major renovations that will in-
crease the number of stores and generate
considerable tax revenue for West Windsor
Township. It will provide lucrative busi-
ness opportunities and numerous new jobs
for area residents.
The developer, Cyzner Properties, will
be presenting and the general public is in-
vited to attend.
Rachel Cyzner and Marissa Tilbor will
provide information about the renova-
tions, discuss some of the new stores mov-
ing in, as well as answer all questions from
the public.
BRIEFS
ing, and her request for a third
open meeting received a response
from the college stating that an-
other meeting would not be pro-
ductive at this time.
The college has provided very
little information to residents of
South Post Road and West Wind-
sor in general, Lourenco said.
Theyve stated a lot of promis-
es throughout this project, she
said.
Nicole Miller worried about
the financial side of the project,
commenting that at the time
the project was conceived, solar
renewable energy certificates
(SRECs) were valued at $600,
but have now dropped to around
$100.
SRECs are awarded as a solar
facility produces energy, and may
be sold as a way to make a solar
project more viable. Because of
the SRECs low value, Miller said,
other counties and organizations
with similar plans have pulled
back from the projects.
It seems to me that its clear
there should be an exit plan,
Miller said.
West Windsor resident Jim Biz-
zoni noted kids of many residents
in the area have found artifacts
such as arrowheads and musket
balls on the farmland, and hes
worried the construction would
ruin artifacts found on the land.
I can't understand why Mer-
cer County Community College
would be party to the destruction
of historically significant land,
Bizzoni said.
Rich Michal said that although
he presently lives in Robbinsville,
his mother and brother live di-
rectly adjacent to the property
where the college plans to install
panels. Like many other residents
at the meeting, Michal stated he
is not against solar or renewable
energy.
I think its a very good thing
going into the future, Michal
said.
However, Michal said he is wor-
ried about the possible conse-
quences of a large project like the
one the college is planning, espe-
cially since the area has a history
of flooding problems, which
could be exacerbated by runoff
from the solar farm. The college,
Michal said, made no effort to in-
form residents how massive this
project was going to be.
South Post Road resident Mari-
lyn Stoddard said residents on the
road are on well water and use
septic systems, and that some of
the wells along South Post Road
are contaminated and are being
treated and observed by the New
Jersey Department of Environ-
mental Protection.
Because of this, she said, in-
creased runoff and flooding are a
major concern, as they could af-
fect residents water supplies and
septic systems.
Rich Campbell, another resi-
dent of South Post Road noted, It
takes a lot to get folks on this
block riled up, and added that
communication by the college
with the community has been
botched from the start. The col-
lege hasnt solicited input from
residents, Campbell said, and an-
swers to concerned residents
questions have been dismissive
absolutes. Campbell asked the
township council to talk to the
county and college. I ask you to
use whatever influence you have
on our behalf, he said.
Township council members
were unanimous in their agree-
ment with residents. Im out-
raged by this, councilman Bryan
Maher said, saying the college
flagrantly disregarded resi-
dents concerns.
Councilwoman Geevers
lamented the fate of the open
space.
This beautiful bucolic farm-
land may soon become covered by
glass and metal, she said. Geev-
ers asked the council to consider
requesting the college to come to
West Windsor and have the town-
ships planning board do a cour-
tesy review of the project, which
would allow the township to go
over details of the project and ex-
press their concerns.
Township attorney Michael
Herbert pointed out that although
the township can request a cour-
tesy review, it cannot require one.
He also said that the township is
very limited regarding action it
can take in the matter since Mer-
cer College is a separate jurisdic-
tion. We are stuck as a munici-
pality, Herbert said.
Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh stated
that earlier that day he sent a let-
ter to president of Mercer County
Community College Patricia
Donohue, relaying the concerns
of West Windsor residents and
asking for more information
about the financial side of the
project as well as drainage and
other health-related issues.
We will continue to contact
them about our concerns, Hsueh
said.
In a statement, Donohue
stressed the sustainability and
economic value of the project for
the college, stating that the proj-
ect will save the college between
$750,000 and $1 million. She did
not specify over what period
of time the savings would take
place.
Regarding drainage issues
Donohue said, The grounds will
remain a permeable surface to
allow for drainage.
Donohue also said two public
meetings were held with local res-
idents, during which the project
was presented to residents in its
entirety.

donate it to the crisis ministry.
Its really nice to see the out-
pouring of support, Cirkus said.
Its one of the most wonderful
things you ever want to be a part
of.
Each farm and business at the
market is local, which means not
only is the food is incredibly fresh
(and likely more nutritious than
that bought at a supermarket,
since it comes from small-scale
farms), but also, that patronizing
the market supports small local
businesses.
Your money is going right
back into the community, Cirkus
said.
All the farms are conscious of
their growing practices, Cirkus
said, and care about good stew-
ardship of the land; a few even
sell certified-organic produce.
Because of these numerous ad-
vantages farmers markets have
over supermarkets, Cirkus hopes
shoppers will begin to change the
way they think about where they
buy their food. She believes that
consumers should buy the bulk of
their groceries at the farmers
market, and fill in the gaps at su-
permarkets. Support local first,
Cirkus said. Then go bigger
later.
Certainly most items you
might buy at a supermarket are
available at West Windsors mar-
ket, even breads, jams, meat and
soap. The approach to buying
food at a farmers market, howev-
er, is slightly different.
Although it is possible to guess,
one can never be entirely certain
what will be available at a farm-
ers market.
You have to go with an open
mind, said Cirkus. Its about
changing your mindset.
