Electric eye in the sky West Windsor Police Department’s drone unit flies high

By MaDeleine MaCCar When Police Chief Robert Garofalo began lobbying for the West Windsor’s Police Department’s (WWPD’s) first drone more than a year ago, he envisioned an opportunity to embrace cutting-edge technology for the community’s benefit.

And in the year since the first of the department’s six drones lifted off for its inaugural aerial view of the township, the police chief, WWPD and its Drone Unit have not only seen the myriad ways these high-tech tools have helped West Windsor,

but also been presented with numerous occasions to work with neighboring municipalities—while also inspiring them to invest their own resources in the game-changing gadgets.

It’s all thanks to West Windsor Gives Back, the organization established by Mayor Hermant Maranthe, that raised funds to provide the police department with five drones in 2018 in observance of the WWPD’s 50th anniversary.

“If it wasn’t for West Windsor Gives Back and the mayor, we wouldn’t have a Drone Unit,” Garofalo said. “With the morethan-80 call-outs we had in the past year, and the number of missing persons calls we’ve gotten, we wouldn’t have found those people without all the donations that our residents

made to fund the unit.

“All that money allowed us to get the drones we have: We still have not spent one township dime on them, it’s all come from West Windsor Gives Back. It’s just been incredible.”

Each year, West Windsor Gives Back selects a worthy local beneficiary to support through dedicated fundraising effort; WWPD was its first recipient.

“The drones were the first time that West Windsor Gives Back made a donation to the police department, but they’ve made it a yearly event—this year, the Princeton Junction Fire Departments was the beneficiary of their charity. It’s a great organization,” said Lt, Danny Mohr, who heads up the See DRONE, Page 9

Those looking to add a little science, stimulating conversation, or a place to take a child interested in science should head to the Ronald E. Hatcher Science on Saturday Lecture Series at Plasma Princeton Physics Lab on Princeton University’s Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro.

The popular weekly event regularly attracts an audience ranging from students to seniors.

The series is named for the late PPPL engineer who spent a decade organizing the original series and served as its unofficial master of ceremonies.

It has been taking place for decades. “It started in 1984 with four lectures and a total of a few hundred people showing up, and (in 2020) we have nine lectures and expect somewhere in the order of 3,000 people before the end of the lecture series,” said Andrew Zwicker, PPPL’s communications and outreach director.

Zwicker, who is also a New Jersey assemblyman, oversees all internal and external communications and all of teh lab’s educational programs.

Deedee Ortiz, science edu-

cation program manager and series organizer, said she looks forward each year to seeing the “regulars” who have been coming to the lectures for decades. “It’s really like a family reunion,” she said.

The reunion includes people from the ages of four to 94.

“We’ve had little kids who ended up interning here for our high school internship program,” said Ortiz.

At a recent event, attendee, Tim Young from West Windsor said he’s been coming to these lectures for the past 10 or 15 years. The retired bank auditor found out about them from a newspaper and friends suggested he go because of his See SCIENCE, Page 10

Bill Sanservino FROM THE EDITOR

To our readers: You might have noticed this issue of the West Windsor & Plainsboro News looks a bit different. A few years have passed since we last freshened up, and since times had changed, we felt the time had come to try out something new.

We spent nearly seven months perfecting our new look—and while it’s a work in progress—I wanted to take some time to fill you in on the changes and how, I hope, they make your time with us more enjoyable, more informative and more transparent.

First, be assured that our commitment to telling the story of Plainsboro and West Windsor townships, of our shared experience here, hasn’t changed. In fact, a lot of thought went into devising some new features to help foster an atmosphere of community.

Our communities have long been our greatest asset, and we want to answer the questions you want answered and tell the stories you want told. Since we live here, too, likely they are answers and stories we want, too.

Below this letter, you’ll see our revamped masthead. Traditionally, a masthead is a list of people who worked hard to bring this newspaper to you. But we want you to know who we are, what we’re doing and how to find us. So, the new masthead kicks off with The News’ mission statement.

This is our guiding principle and informs what we cover—and how. We also have included our mailing address, phone number, email addresses, website URL and social media accounts, so you can connect with us no matter which mode of communication you prefer.

Taking this one step further, I’ve included all my contact information at the end of this letter. The same box will appear at the end of any article produced by a full-time member of our staff.

We also have introduced new fonts for our headlines and other items in our newspaper, which provides a cleaner, easy-to-read experience.

I hope this redesign can help kick off an even closer relationship with our readers. So, reach out!

PSE&G’s power line replacement project is an eyesore I had not been by the Trolley Line Trail in over six months, but recently attempted to bike the trail. (This trail begins at the north end of Rabbit Hill Road, passes through West Windsor Community Park, across Route 571 and ends at Penn-Lyle Road.)

I was surprised to see a major replacement project of the existing power lines with new alien looking towers, which are massive in size compared to the existing towers.

The cost of this upgrade must be very significant, as they even had to build a complicated road along the trail.

I can’t help but think that a better approach would have been to dig a trench and bury the cables.

These large power-line structures really detract from the beauty of the trail and everywhere they are erected in West Windsor. I think the over-all positive effects of the aesthetics on our area would be greatly enhanced if these lines were underground.

With modern materials and technology putting these cables underground should be very feasible.

In some ways this project is hidden in plain sight, but West Windsor residents should be aware of this very large and expensive project and might want to demand that PSE&G take another approach before they get any further.

Local residents perform for MLK Day Seven local youth and one adult performed at the Capital Area YMCA in Trenton this past Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 20. in honor of Dr. King’s legacy of public service and giving back to the community.

The event was also held to support The First Tee of Greater Trenton, a local organization teaching children invaluable life skills through the game of golf.

The event was organized by the WW-P Young Leaders of America, a completely student-run affiliate organization of TFTGT mentoring local children and Aneisha Felton, youth programs administrative assistant at the YMCA. Though few attended the event, the octet of performers offered their talents to a diverse and eager audience.

IN addition to myself, other performers included: Akshay Tiwari, Crosby Davidson, Henry Furey and Simon Cheng— all from West Windsor-Plainsboro high schools; Alex Ni and Trevor Guo from the Hun School; Priyanka Tiwari from Rutgers University; and Dr. Yingchao “YZ” Zhang, former West Windsor Council vice president and former member of the WW-P Board of Education. We showcased talents from around the world, from Turkish guitar to Chinese Kung Fu. Among those who came to support

See FORUM, Page 6 He said he chose to perform “Heart of Gold,” because “I found it interesting that the title of the song used the word gold and not silver or another precious metal. Unlike silver, gold is the color of the sun—full, round and warm—much like Dr. King’s personality. I believe his heart is made of gold and the purest of our generation.”

Dr. YZ also addressed the dynamic between love and hate after performing “The Moon Shows My Love,” a Chinese pop song.

“The moon in Chinese symbolizes love,” he said. “One would think that it should be the Sun, since love is full, round, and warm. However, the moon represents love’s highs and lows. The moon is always full, it’s just that our eyes don’t always see it, just like we can’t always see true love. Only by searching deep within ourselves can we do so. So remember, love always trumps hate.”

As for the Young Leaders of America, all good things start small and grow big, so we’re definitely going to hold more performances benefitting TFTGT, not just at the YMCA, but at Christina Seix Academy, local senior centers and many more.

Why? Because race is not the sole indicator of your identity unless you decide to make it that way. I have so much more to say on this, but I’m running out of space and I’m open to the discussion with anyone who would like to listen.

Sanjev Rajaram West Windsor *** In her letter to The News last month (January 2020), Shin-Yi Lin—who in the last election ran unsuccessfully for a seat on the town council—started her letter off by wishing new council members Sonia Gawas, Andrea Mandel and Michael Stevens the best in their work in public service.

She then went on to cast doubts about their “capacity to govern” before they even had a chance to be sworn in, and seemingly did her best to diminish them personally and professionally.

As a long-time resident, I’d like to recognize these individuals in addition to the rest of the council and the mayor for being good neighbors, and thank them for graciously volunteering their time to serve our township.

I’d also like to point out to Ms. Lin that in any community there are bound to be differing perspectives on a wide range of issues, some of it driven by different life experiences.

What may be controversial to some may be common sense to others, and vice versa. Perhaps Ms. Lin can take a little time to reflect on that, and hopefully refocus her future efforts toward finding common ground.

Bill Varnavas West Windsor

Marathe explains plastic bag ban veto The following is a statement made by West Windsor Mayor Hemant Marathe on Facebook regarding his veto of an ordinance passed by township council banning the use of plastic bags. *** A few people have asked me for my reasons for vetoing the ordinance that banned the single use plastic bags. Here is my letter to the council explaining reasons for my veto (Sorry it’s bit long): Dear West Windsor Council members. It’s with regret that I have to veto the ordinance 2019-34 that was passed by the Township Council by a 3-1-1 vote at the Nov. 18, 2019 Council meeting.

Although I fully agree with the aim and desired end result of the ordinance, i.e. elimination or reduction of use of plastic in our daily lives, as the Mayor I have to look at the complete picture and not just a single issue. As a principle both in my personal life and elected capacity, I never let “the ends justify the means” on any issue.

The reasons for my veto in no particular order are: 1. The ordinance the council approved on Nov. 18 was not the same ordinance that was introduced at the Oct. 28 meeting. Legally, the ordinance voted on must be identical to the ordinance that was introduced. On Oct. 28,

6THE NEWS | February 2020

council voted to amend Section 148-31 to remove reference to the council having the ability to grant exemptions to businesses, and the ordinance was introduced that way.

Unfortunately, the ordinance that was posted for two weeks prior to the vote still included that language. Despite the fact that I pointed out this error during the Nov. 18 meeting, council voted on the wrong ordinance.

2. The process by which the ordinance was introduced sends a terrible message to local businesses. While the ordinance was under development, the individuals developing the ordinance never approached the mayor’s office asking for the administration’s input.

The first time the administration was officially approached about the ordinance was just before it was discussed under ceremonial matters at the Sept. 16 meeting.

When two Council members polled local businesses, just before the meeting on Oct. 28, they confirmed that a majority of those businesses had not even heard about the ordinance, or that such a ban was under discussion by the council.

We are trying to promote West Windsor as a business friendly town. The ordinance sends the message that the township will pass an ordinance that affects businesses not only without their input, but also without their knowledge.

No matter how much I believe in the environmental goals of the ordinance, as the mayor I can’t send that message to local businesses.

3. The process also sends a terrible message to our residents, especially to the most frequent customers of our retail businesses who are most likely to be affected, including families with limited incomes, seniors and others who must take public transportation and don’t have the luxury of a car to store their reusable bags.

Customers who efficiently reuse point-of-purchase bags will need to seek more expensive alternatives. An ordinance such as this should have multiple open public meetings where all stakeholders are invited to give their input.

3. Many objections made to the details of the ordinance were dismissed, with supporters of the ordinance arguing that even if the ordinance was poorly prepared there would be a phase in period, and changes could be made at a later date.

However, changes to an ordinance can only be made by action of the council. The introduction of a major ordinance of this magnitude, affecting all retail businesses in the township, requires a major investment of time and money by the municipal government, the affected businesses and the township’s residents.

To be efficient and effective, it cannot be subject to constant changes and uncertainties. This was a rushed document copied from another municipality and reviewed by a small, closed group outside the usual process, which would normally involve legal counsel, administrative staff, and several elected officials.

4. For an ordinance banning a product, education and outreach aimed at

changing consumer behavior is required before enactment in order for the ban to be effective. No outreach to local businesses or customers occurred during the time period that the ordinance was under development.

5. The ordinance has certain flaws.

Although they were pointed out several times during the nine weeks the ordinance was in front of the council, and despite some council members’ attempts to correct the flaws, a majority vote of council was not obtained to correct those flaws.

In particular: 1, The ordinance places responsibility for enforcement on a Township position that doesn’t exist. Thus, any merchant affected will have no one to turn to with questions, and there is no one in place to enforce the ordinance. Also, there is no discussion in the ordinance about the estimated cost to administer the ordinance, nor how it would be funded.

2. The ordinance is very vague about the ability to grant exemptions.

Although as Mayor I have the power to grant exemptions, there is no set process for me to do so.

Thus, the mayor would be forced to decide whether to give an exemption and to whom an exemption should be granted, without any process in place.

3. The ordinance favors out-of-town businesses over local businesses. For an unspecified reason, the ordinance specifically exempts the West Windsor Farmer’s Market, which caters mostly to out of town businesses, while not making any exception for local businesses essentially engaged in the same operation, including farm stands in West Windsor.

4. The ordinance requires people on a welfare program to identify themselves in the store in order to get free bags. This is contrary to our values and demeaning to those individuals.

5. The township attorney has advised

the council that the ordinance in its adopted form is unconstitutional and will likely be thrown out if challenged in court, costing local taxpayers a significant amount of money.

6. It was also pointed out that none of the municipalities that have passed a similar ordinance, to our knowledge have a written opinion from their municipal attorney supporting the legality of such an ordinance.

I took an oath to uphold the Constitution of New Jersey, and I can’t sign unconstitutional legislation simply because I agree with the aim of the legislation.

7. I understand the state is likely to pass legislation on this issue during the lame duck session of the Legislature. I hope they do, because that will put all towns on equal footing and not cause a disadvantage to West Windsor businesses competing with similar businesses in adjoining municipalities that have no such ordinance.

Although I am vetoing the ordinance and I am very disappointed with the governance practices used to push it through council, I am very much in support of the goal.

I am willing to work with the Environmental Commission and interested residents, who wish to be involved to achieve the goals through education and an incentivebased approach.

We need to educate not only the store owners but also customers about the dangers caused by overuse of plastic.

We need to have a larger discussion about not only plastic bags, but straws, Styrofoam containers, and micro-plastics generated by other sources.

Working together on these issues with the council, the administration and the Environmental Commission, all stakeholders will create longer-lasting and better results. I look forward to that partnership.

An ordinance such as this should have multiple open public meetings where all stakeholders are invited to give their input.

The Mercer County Park Commission has completed work on the John Rogers House constructed ruin in Mercer County Park.

Built in 1761, the Rogers House is believed to be the oldest existing structure in West Windsor Township.

The Rogers House was listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and it is significant as a good example of the 18th century pattern brick architecture,” said a county press relese. The structure was deeded to Mercer County in 1970 when the lands around the house became Mercer County Park.

Based on park planning and programming location, the sounty preserved the historic brick walls as an “open-air” constructed ruin adapted for interpretation.

Three walls were stabilized to preserve the historic brick of the house and integrate the structure into the park’s programming.

The renovated Rogers House site includes adjacent landscape with porous paved walking paths, vehicle access roads, parking and outdoor interpretive signage.

The interpretive signage outside the house tells the story of the Rogers’ farmstead and house within the local and regional history of the area.

“The renovated site will serve as a public gathering space and a point of interest along the walking paths and trails. This will ensure that this valuable historic resource is available to the public for generations to come,” said the news release.

DRONE continued from Page 1 Drone Unit.

Harnessing the power of airborne technology wasn’t as simple as purchasing the fleet of drones, though. Both Chief Garofalo and Lieutenant Mohr emphasized the amount of research, paperwork, certification, and monthly training that they and the rest of the unit have faced—and still do—to legally operate the drones.

In fact, the department was so thorough in doing its homework that Garofalo said drone technology changed dramatically from the initial proposal to the actual implementation of utilizing drones on the force.

“Everyone in the unit—which they volunteered to be a part of—had to take the standard Part 107 test, so we are all certified 107 pilots,” Garofalo explains.

“We comply with all of the FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] regulations and rules. This was all done even before we put the drones on the ground or in the air: We wanted to get the licenses first—and let me say, I went for my doctoral exams, and I think the test for the 107 was harder than that.

“The stuff you have to learn about— heights and land and maps and how to read everything—was incredible. But I thought it was important, since the unit was brand new, for myself and Lt. Mohr to also be trained, since we have to know what we’re supervising.”

Mohr said he had to develop the policy and procedures for the department’s drone units, develop requirements for the officers and drone pilots in the department, apply for authorization through the FAA for the ability to fly at night in Mercer County, since emergencies happen 24 hours a day.

“I wanted to research the policies other departments use throughout the country to develop West Windsor’s policy, so I had to do all the legwork up front before we started the program to ensure we’re doing everything properly and according to federal and state guidelines,” Mohr said.

All that effort has more than paid

The drone purchased by the West Windsor Police department with funding contributed by West Windsor Gives Back. off, both officers agree. Having airborne cameras offer a perspective that boots-on-the-ground law enforcement officers can’t readily see, go places that may present an increased physical risk to search parties or first responders, or survey sensitive scenarios like a hostage or barricade situation helps to ultimately keep more people safe—to say nothing of how they make cops’ work more efficient, allow for a more accurate allocation of manpower, and overall increase response time.

“Drones have been around for ages now, but the emergency application is an emerging technology,” said Mohr, explaining that accident reconstruction, search and rescue, and assistance at both fires and crime-scene investigations have been just some of the examples of drones making laborious, potentially dangerous both more efficient and less dangerous. “We’ve taken them to numerous scenes not only in West Windsor but also in other jurisdictions in Mer-

cer County: Rather than sending an officer into a potentially dangerous situation where they possibly could have gotten shot, one of our drones can fly around and, using the camera, we can make an assessment from a safe distance and within minutes.”

Virginia Manzari, council president and a member of West Windsor Gives Back, has been thrilled with the idea of empowering the WWPD with modern technology.

“I’m really excited about the drone,” she said. “At the Mayor’s Ball last year, we had the chief get up and speak, and he gave an update on what they’ve been using the drone for, and how excited he was to be able to benefit from it. He got a lot of really great feedback from people: They said, ‘Wow, I had no idea that these guys had this and what they were using it for.’”

That kind of response altered how West Windsor Gives Back formatted its future fundraisers.

“After that, we decided that every time we have one of these events, we will bring in the prior year’s recipient to talk about how they used whatever equipment they bought with the money that was raised by West Windsor Gives Back,” Manzari adds.

The ongoing success of WWPD’s Drone Unit has caught the attention of numerous nearby towns, further encouraging a sense of partnership between West Windsor and its Mercer County neighbors—and even inspiring other police departments to add drones to their own forces.

“Three other agencies in Mercer County are currently in the process of buying drones now,” Mohr said.

Of course, not everyone is a fan of the drones—but the officers are working hard to gently educate those who have their doubts.

“There’s always people who hear ‘drones’ and instantly think they’re being spied on—but if we’re spying on you in your private home, it’s illegal no matter what we use.” said Garofalo.

“People worry about the thermals and us looking into their houses: I don’t care what the television shows you, we just don’t have that kind of technology.

Besides, we’d still need to have a courtordered search warrant, drone or not.”

But dispelling a little pop-culturecurated misinformation every now and then is no big deal for Garafolo, who ultimately is grateful for technology that offers peace of mind to not only West Windsor residents but also their neighbors.

“The key to the program’s usefulness is that we have drones at the ready,” he said. “They six pilots we have, they’re in the patrol cars and they’re ready to go: To go back to headquarters, pick them up, and get them out, that’s all time wasted. When you get a call from a frantic mother whose kid ran into the woods and it’s 17 degrees out and there’s a lake nearby, you want an officer who can pull right up and, in minutes, put a drone in the air. That’s the key to the program: It’s being out there and being ready.”

SCIENCE continued from Page 1 interest in science.

“What topped it off is they said, ‘Come on over get a bagel or a cup of coffee.’

That’s all I needed. The lectures have been very interesting,” said Young.

The first 2020 lecture, in January, was “Visual Perception: The Art of the Brain,” presented by Dr. Sabine Kastner.

A Princeton neuroscience professor who studies visual perception, she showed optical illusions and paintings and asked the audience members to describe what they see.

With the use of human brain model, she pointed out relevant areas to explain why humans see things the way we do and what causes different people to see the same thing differently.

With the lecture hall filled by 9:25 a.m., all of the 300 3-D glasses Kastner provided claimed, late arrivers watched the lecture on screen in the cafeteria.

First time attendee Daniel Kurz said he found out about the lecture from his wife who saw it posted online.

“One of the reasons we moved to the area is because there’s an abundance of free lectures, cultural activities and all kinds of interesting things going on,” said the professor of social science and history at Middlesex County College.

Kurz attended with his son Anthony who said, “I’m largely interested in physics, so I guess this is like the perfect place for that. And I like learning in general, but I’m more a fan of the sciences, chemistry, physics and biology more than other subjects like English.”

The South Brunswick High School sophomore said he’d like to pursue a career in science. “Maybe laboratory

physics would hopefully be the goal and maybe even physics education,” he said.

“I think it’s really wonderful that the university and the plasma lab have these public events to get people excited about science and to connect the community to their work,” said his father.

In addition to the lecture series funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, PPPL is unique within Princeton University because it is overseen and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

The lab works to develop fusion as a clean and abundant source of energy and to advance plasma science. Fusion is the reaction that powers the sun and stars.

It takes place when the atomic nuclei—or ions—in hot, electrically charged plasma fuse and release a burst of energy.

PPPL studies how to recreate this process in the laboratory by heating plasma to tens of millions of degrees Celsius and confining it in powerful magnetic fields.

The laboratory, located off of Route 1, does experiments and computer simulations of the behavior of plasma, the hot electrically charged gas that fuels fusion reactions and has a wide range of practical applications.

PPPL also stands out for its commitment to STEM (Science Engineering Technology Mathematics) education and has an entire department devoted solely to science education.

Programming includes public tours of the lab and events that expose the public to the beauty and excitement of science, fusion, and plasmas.

PPPL runs dozens of educational programs for kindergarten through college

aged students.

That includes hosting the annual New Jersey Regional Science Bowl that, as PPPL materials say, is a double-elimination contest with a question and answer rounds in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, mathematics, and general and earth sciences.

Teams from middle, high and home schools are invited to enter. The top team from each regional competition wins an expense-paid trip to the national competition in Washington, D.C.; trophies are awarded to the first, second, and third place teams.

There are also several different types of college internships, including a summer internship specifically for community college students and an internship program for high school students.

And for middle and high school age girls, there is the Young Women’s Conference in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics that introduces students to regional women scientists and engineers and related fields.

The conference also includes smallgroup presentations, hands-on activities, talks, and a laboratory tour. .

“I’m fortunate enough to have an amazing team of science educators who create workshops and enrichment opportunities and research internships for students from all backgrounds. And they come to this laboratory for weeks at a time to do original research. And hopefully that gives them the spark that will send them off into a career in sci-

ence or engineering,” said Zwicker.

The lectures continue through March 14 as follows: Feb. 1: Title to be announced, Michael Churchill, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Feb. 8: Matthew Kleban, New York University, presents “The Cosmic Multiverse: Science or Fantasy?”

Feb. 15: Sigrid Adrianssens, Princeton University, “Form Follows Force— Extreme Structures for a Resilient Urban Environment.”

Feb. 22: Department of Energy NJ Regional Science Bowl — No Science on Saturday.

Feb. 29: Luju Ojha, Rutgers University, “50 years of Mars Exploration: What have we learned?”

March 7: Asa Rennermalm, Rutgers University, “Witnessing Climate Change: What I have Learned from My Expeditions to the Greenland Ice Sheet.”

March 14: Arvind Narayanan, Princeton University, topic to be announced.

PPPL is locate at 100 Stellarator Road, Doors open at 8:15 a.m. with coffee and light refreshments for early birds.

The lectures begin at 9:30 a.m. No registration is required; however, a valid government issued, photo ID is necessary to gain access to the Laboratory for anyone over 18 years of age.

The lectures can also be streamed live from home at mediacentral.princeton.edu/id/1_wdp1m3et. You can view archives of the lectures at pppl.gov/soslisting. For more information, visit pppl. gov.

West Windsor’s governing body has a new council president.

Virginia Manzari, now in her third year on council, was unanimously voted to be the presiding officer during the township’s reorganization meeting on Jan. 2.

Three new council members— Sonia Gawas, Andrea Mandel and Michael Stevens—joined Manzari and Linda Geevers on the governing body, after being elected last November.

This is Manzari’s first stint as president. She takes over for Alison Miller, who had served as council president for a number of years. Miller was not reelected last year.

West Windsor and Plainsboro News editor Bill Sanservino sat down Manzari on Jan. 17 to talk about a number of issues she expects council to address in 2020, including the budget, township initiatives and development in town. Below is an edited version of that interview. *** West Windsor & Plainsboro News: What would you like to bring to the council as president?

Virgnia Manzari: I have a background in business. I worked in business development, and I have run brands. So I come with a background of trying to work efficiency into things by looking at all the available data to make decisions.

I’m looking to bring some of those I can say that about the other people on resolution and ordinance as best we can.

VM: That’s a good question. When I first got involved years ago, I remember coming to a council meeting and sitting in the audience. Alison (Miller) was in the audience and not on council at the time. We ended up talking, and she had heard what I said during public comment.

She said, “Let me give you some background information on the issue, and we became friends. This was like a dozen years ago, and whenever I would come to the meetings, and she was there also, we sort of sat together.

She kind of took me under her wing when I came on to counsel and she was council president and showed me the nitty-gritty.

With the new council members, I try to do some of those kinds of things.

I send them emails basically saying, “Okay, this is what you’re going to get, and this is how you need to approach it.

These are some of the things you need to do. Read this material by this date.”

They ran for office, so they already have a lot of information and background on general issues. It’s really a matter of learning the process , and there is a lot of process.

In my past jobs I managed a lot of big budgets. I thought I was so ready when I came into my first budget period. I got the big budget big book, and every night I’d pore over this budget. I made a list of ideas and questions.

My husband would come home from work every day and he was like, “Are you reading that thing again? Are you secretly interviewing to be CFO of the township?”

I said, “No, but I really feel like this is where I can make a big impact, and I really want to do a good job.”

Then I took a class on municipal budgets. I think there were a hundred towns represented in the room. I probably asked more questions than everybody else combined, and the answer to all my ideas and questions was, “No, you can’t do that. It’s not allowed under state law.”

I was depressed for a good two months.

I really was.

WWP: One of the first jobs that new council members are faced with is working on the municipal budget.

They might have made campaign promises to lower spending and to scour the budget, then once they get into the process they find out how little control they have.

VM: It really was depressing for me.

I mean, I just had such high hopes. And these were not crazy ideas. These were really sound business decisions. Ideas that, if implemented, would be great—I mean if I do say so myself. (laughs) “The fact that the state doesn’t allow them is just mind-boggling to me. But that’s the way it is. That’s the parameter that we have to deal with.

So, I’ve told the council members all of that, and I’ve said, “When you go to the to the meetings, make sure you’ve reviewed one of our budgets ahead of time to make yourself familiar with it.

Figure out how it works, how the numbers are manipulated, what information you get and how you can compare things. Then when you get the new budget, you’ll be up to speed on the format and all that stuff.”

I’m trying to get them to a point where when everybody comes in for the budget meetings, it’ll be more efficient.

WWP: How do you expect to handle the budget process? Are there going to be any changes from prior years? What are some of your priorities, and what do you think are council’s priorities?

VM: We always want to try to spend money as efficiently as we can. One of the issues that I’ve raised in past council meetings was with sidewalks and all the trees along the sidewalks. They wind up get pushed up by the tree roots, and then we’ve got to spend money to repair the sidewalks.

One of the things that we’ve talked to the mayor and administration about is how we can maybe look at a policy change to come up with something that works a little bit better for the township.

We’re not opposed to trees (I have a See MANZARI, Page 14

MANZARI continued from Page 13 ton of trees in my yard and I love trees), but how can we do this so that it makes a little bit more sense. So we’ve sort of been talking about.

Hopefully we can come up with some ideas and then we can address that from a monetary perspective, because we really spent a lot of money on sidewalks.

We also spend a lot of money on roads. We did put more money in for those things last year, and I would like to see us continue to invest in that this year.

I mean, we’re a very nice town, we offer a lot of amenities, and I think one of those things needs to be good roads and good sidewalks. That’s one issue that’s always been at the top of my mind.

As far as the budget process goes, I think it was last year, or the year before, when Jyotika Bahree was on council.

She and I sat down and looked at the budgeting process.

At the end, after I’d gone through it the first time and she’d been through it, we came up with some suggestions for looking at things a little differently. We wanted to compare things as you would in a business.

Let’s look at the actual and compare that to what you’re budgeting, let’s see the actuals for the prior years and how things are spiking. Then give me some information as to why, maybe, there was something that was really high or really low. Getting that additional information can make it a more efficient process when we go sit down and look at the numbers.

Everything doesn’t have to be asking a million questions about some of those things.

Actually that’s one of the things that I suggested to new council members.

Look at some of the questions that were asked last year and how they were answered, because they may be the same questions that get asked every single year.

Hopefully they can read about them, and then we can go on to have discussions about things that maybe we can change.

Things that we can have an impact on, rather than talking about something you can’t do anything about.

There is very little room for us to do things with the budget because of state mandates, so it is a challenge.

WWP: What are a few of the things that you are excited about this year?

We have looked at bringing in more commercial ratables. I know you hear about ratables every time a politician runs for office, but it really is true.

If you can’t do very much about how you change revenues or how you change expenses, the thing that you can do is shift some of the burden off the residential taxpayers onto the commer-

cial taxpayers.

We’ve been working to do that for the two years that I’ve been on council and the mayor has been in office. We’ve been working hard to get a lot of things in place.

Because we were forced to change our zoning to make room for a lot of residential development due the affordable housing mandate, we’re looking to bring in some more commercial ratables in a timely manner.

That way, when the residential starts to go up, we’ve got the commercial to balance it out.

Then we won’t be seeing spikes in taxes that are going to hit the residents.

We really want to avoid that, and we do have a lot of good things coming.

We have some new businesses coming into town. We’ve got Tractor Supply Company coming on Route 1, and we’ve got an extended stay hotel with a rooftop bar.

WWP: What else is happening with development?

VM: The planning board is going to be voting on the new master plan on Feb. 12. That’s the land use vision for the whole town. One thing the planning board has done as part of the master plan review is to go through the entire town to make non-conforming uses into

You won’t see the nastiness or political games or infighting that you might have seen in the past.

conforming one.

That benefits small businesses, because it helps make it easier to get loans than if they were on a non-conforming lot. They can upgrade their facilities. They can reinvest in their own properties. Then their property values go up and they pay more in taxes and we’re going to see increased tax revenue for the township.

WWP: What are some of the biggest changes that this master plan amendment is looking to make in different parcels throughout the town?

VM: I think it’s really pro-business, but in a common-sense way. It’s taking into consideration what kinds of impact any developments would have on the township and on the residents.

WWP: What else is happening?

You mentioned that there are some other cool things that are happening in town.

VM: We’re looking at doing some capital investments at the pool complex— West Windsor Waterworks, and to lower the rates for membership.

We have a new membership category—one parent one child. Before it was just individual family and senior memberships. We’re also looking at doing some additional programming— some fun events, maybe some special nights and things like that.

I’m really excited it because I served on the Recreation Commission for two years. Also, part of volunteering for West Windsor gives back, we held a couple of events there and it was really fun to see.

LAWRENCE OB/GYN ASSOCIATES JOINS CAPITAL HEALTH MEDICAL GROUP Regional OB/GYN Practice Adds to Growing Team of Women’s Health Specialists Beginning February 1, 2020, Lawrence OB/GYN Associates, a comprehensive women’s health practice with locations in Mercer, Burlington, and Bucks counties, will officially join Capital Health Medical Group’s growing network of specialty care providers. The practice name will change to Capital Health – Lawrence OB/GYN Associates, but it will continue to be the same trusted provider of obstetric and gynecologic care that has served women in the region for more than 30 years.

The team of board certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and certified midwives that will be part of the new Capital Health – Lawrence OB/GYN Associates includes DRS. KIRA PRZYBYLKO, STEVEN SUSSMAN, DANIEL SMALL, AUDREY TASHJIAN, WILLIAM STANELL, KAREN LEEDOM, SAPNA BALWANI, PAUL LOEB, and GWEN GRANT; nurse practitioner JANET BUDZYNSKI; and certified midwives LEANNE MICCIO, CHRISTINE BEAGHLEY, KITAN ELLERSON, CELINA HICKSON, ELIZABETH SANDIFER and LYNN SHINN. Their offices will continue to be located at 123 Franklin Corner Road, Suite 214, Lawrenceville, NJ 08648; 1401 WhitehorseMercerville Road, Suite 212, Hamilton, NJ 08619; 909 Floral Vale Boulevard, Yardley, PA 19067; and 163 Route 130, Bordentown, NJ 08505.

“With the addition of Capital Health - Lawrence OB/GYN Associates, as well as our recent acquisition of Capital Health – Women’s Specialists of Bucks County, our goal is to make access to women’s health services in our region more

convenient than ever,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “More importantly, the expertise they add to Capital Health Medical Group will provide care through every stage of a woman’s life, from adolescence, through child-bearing years, and beyond.”

“Capital Health has an incredible reputation in our community when it comes to providing the highest level women’s services—from being the only Regional Perinatal Center, including Level III neonatal intensive care for the most at-risk deliveries, to offering robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci surgical system,” said Dr. Kira Przybylko, lead physician at Capital Health – Lawrence OB/GYN Associates. “While Lawrence OB/GYN has been providing services at Capital Health for quite some time, it’s exciting to officially join other physicians in the Capital Health Medical Group to be able to connect our patients with the growing number of women’s health services available here in their community.”

Capital Health – Lawrence OB/GYN Associates provides a full range of services for women, including annual health exams, prenatal care, genetic screening, open and minimally invasive/robotic-assisted surgery (using the da Vinci surgical system), and minor surgical services. The office accepts most insurances.

Urologist Specializing in Minimally Invasive, Robotic-Assisted Procedures Joins Capital Health DR. ERIC MAYER, a board certified urologist specializing in minimally invasive urologic procedures using the da Vinci surgical system, has joined Capital Health as director of Urologic Robotic Surgery. With experience in treating all forms of urologic conditions, including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, overactive bladder, incontinence, sexual dysfunction and men’s health issues like erectile dysfunction and low testosterone, Dr. Mayer specializes in robotic-assisted surgery for bladder, prostate and kidney cancers.

Dr. Mayer joins Dr. Brad Rogers at Capital Health – Urology Specialists, located at Two Capital Way, Suite 407, Pennington, NJ 08534. They also see patients at Capital Health’s multispecialty office at 1050 Stony Hill Road, Yardley, PA 19067, “As the first surgeon in Pennsylvania to perform a roboticassisted laparoscopic prostatectomy using the da Vinci surgical system, Dr. Mayer is an important addition to our team,” said Dr. Rogers, director of Urology at Capital Health. “The expertise he brings is good news for patients in our region who need advanced surgical treatment for cancerous and non-cancerous urologic conditions.”

“In recent months, Capital Health has welcomed a number of surgical specialists who are highly trained in minimally invasive, robotic-assisted techniques,” said Dr. Mayer. “I am delighted to offer those services to urology patients at Capital Health and join an organization that is so committed toward advancing care through state-of-the-art technology, while providing a personalized approach to each of our patients.”

Before joining Capital Health, Dr. Mayer was chief of Urology and Minimally Invasive Urologic Surgery at St. Luke’s Center for Urology, part of St. Luke’s University Health Network, in Bethlehem, PA. He received his medical degree from UMDNJRobert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick, NJ, where he also completed his urology residency.

Capital Health – Urology Specialists, part of Capital Health Medical Group, works with primary care physicians and other specialists to provide residents throughout Mercer, Bucks, and Burlington counties with advanced urologic care in a compassionate and relaxed setting, including state-of-the-art imaging, diagnostics, and treatment options.

Better Outcomes for Bladder Cancer Patients with New Technology at Capital Health Bladder cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the US and is the fourth most common cancer found in men. Because early detection can lead to significantly better outcomes, Capital Health now offers Blue Light Cystoscopy (BLC) with Cysview, a breakthrough technology that improves bladder cancer detection so doctors can remove more cancerous tumors than previously possible with standard cystoscopy.

“Capital Health is one of only two hospitals in New Jersey to offer this procedure and the first to offer it to patients in central and southern New Jersey,” said DR. BRAD ROGERS, a board certified urologist and director of Urology at Capital Health. “In addition to giving us the ability to diagnose bladder cancer earlier than standard cystoscopy, BLC with Cysview also reduces the likelihood of recurrence.”

When bladder cancer is suspected, doctors use a long thin tube equipped with a lens and a light (cystoscope) to perform a visual inspection of the lining of the patient’s bladder wall. During standard cystoscopy, a white light illuminates the bladder lining, enabling the surgeon to view suspicious areas. However, not all lesions or cancers may be visible under the white light.

With a BLC procedure, highly trained physicians like Dr. Rogers 16Health Headlines by Capital Health | The News

begin by introducing an agent called Cysview (hexaminolevulinate HCl) into the bladder. Next, viewing the bladder lining using a cystoscope equipped with a blue light, cancer cells appear hot pink while the surrounding tissue remains blue, making it much easier to identify smaller tumors and lesions that might not be visible with standard cystoscopy.

Traditional cystoscopy BLC with Cysview “With significantly improved tumor detection, we’re able to provide treatment earlier and achieve improved outcomes,” said Dr. Rogers. “BLC with Cysview is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for surgery and for follow-up cystoscopies as well, so it can be used for ongoing surveillance.”

Dr. Rogers and his team at Capital Health – Urology Specialists work with primary care physicians and other specialists to provide residents throughout Mercer, Bucks, and Burlington counties with advanced urologic care in a compassionate and relaxed setting, including state-of-the-art imaging, diagnostics, and treatment options. His office is located at Two Capital Way, Suite 407, Pennington NJ 08534. He also sees patients at Capital Health’s multi-specialty office at 1050 Stony Hill Road, Yardley, PA 19067.

NEW PULMONARY REHABILITATION PROGRAM is a Breath of Fresh Air for Those With Chronic Lung Disease Participants attend education sessions twice each week, before or after their exercise session, and meet with a registered dietitian to address any individual needs.

The overall duration of the program varies according to each individual’s needs and goals. Loved ones are also encouraged to participate to provide additional support to program participants.

Most insurance carriers cover the cost of this program, but some providers may require a copay or limit coverage to a certain number of visits. Anyone considering the program should check with his or her insurance provider regarding coverage for pulmonary rehabilitation.

For people in the Mercer/Bucks County region living with lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis and pulmonary fibrosis, Capital Health recently launched its new Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program. Located in the Wellness Center at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, the program provides a comprehensive outpatient exercise and education program to help patients reduce and control the symptoms and complications related to lung disease and improve their quality of life.

“Collaboration is the key to the program’s success, and participants see the benefits of this approach right from the start,” said DR. DIANA KOLMAN, director of the new Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Capital Health and director of the Interventional Pulmonary Program.

“After getting a physician referral for the program, patients undergo pulmonary function tests and interview with our staff before working closely with our team of physicians, registered nurses, exercise physiologists, and registered respiratory therapists. Together, our team and your referring physician develop a customized, carefully coordinated program that helps strengthen breathing muscles and enhance daily living.

Meeting every third Tuesday of the month Patients with severe emphysema may also participate in the program to determine if they are candidates for non-surgical Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell treatment.” Maternal Child Health Conference Room

Tran finds a new level of competition with North swimming

By Justin Feil Sydney Tran has enjoyed the challenges of a more competitive swim team and school, but does miss some of the freedoms allowed students in her native Ontario.

“The lunch system was much better in Canada,” Tran said. “We had a 70-minute lunch and you could go anywhere. Most kids would go to the mall for lunch. We’d just go to the mall for bubble tea and walk around.”

Tran, though, likes the culture at her new school, High School North and the weather is a plus to the move.

“The weather is better here,” she said.

“There’s not much snow. I remember when they said it was a snow day, there wasn’t any snow.”

Tran’s family moved from Canada at the end of the summer, and the sophomore has found the move returned her to more competitive swimming. The North team has inspired her.

“The swim team here is way faster,” she said. “I think it helps push me to work harder and swim faster in competition. This school is more competitive than where I was from.”

Tran grew up swimming in Canada, and swam competitive for years, but took the year off from competition before

her family moved. Getting back into the sport helped her adjust to her new surroundings.

“Everyone is really nice,” Tran said.

“We have group gatherings to help everyone get closer. It helped me get closer with the different members of the team, especially the freshmen who are new like me.

It’s a good environment.”

Tran was intent on finding new friends when she came to North. Like any new student, she was concerned with how she would fit. Guidance counselors and peer advisors told her to explore different activities to find people with common interests. She tried Art Club, stage crew and K-Pop Club, but when swim season rolled around, she turned her attention full-time to the pool.

“I was happy they had a swim team,” Tran said. “A lot of the people I hang around with now are a part of the swim team.”

Tran is part of a Knights program that is putting together an historic season. Both the girls and boys teams stayed unbeaten with key wins over rival WW-P South on Jan. 7.

“The swimmers are definitely fast and they fit my expectations,” Tran said. “They also exceeded it. I didn’t think we’d go undefeated.”

The WW-P North boys are looking for

Sydney Tran’s addition to the North swimming squad has bolstered an already strong team. their first Mercer County Championship on Feb. 1 while the girls will be looking for their second county crown in three years.

Beyond that is the chance to win more hardware in states.

“We did figure that we would have a

strong girls team this year,” said Knights head coach Todd Robinson. “We have a number of the girls that helped us to the sectional state title that we won two years ago when they were freshmen. A couple of them decided not to swim for the high school team last year but they came back this year. That was a huge help to us. We also had a number of really solid freshmen join the team.”

Tran’s addition to the team was a bonus.

She has improved the Knights depth in breaststroke and freestyle and brings energy and excitement daily.

“She’s not one of our top point scorers, but she’s probably one of the most dedicated members that we have,” Robinson said. “She has not missed a single practice.

She’s just a great kid with a great work ethic.”

Tran is working to get back to a higher competitive level. When she stopped competitive swimming last year, it meant going from daily workouts to one per week. She is a regular at practices now as she looks to return to her best times.

“In the beginning of the year, they were definitely slower,” Tran said. “Since we practice so many times a week, I can see improvement. It’s cool to see. We have this guy on our team who broke his record three times.

“I didn’t know what my times were at

8X10 PP X10 the moment I came,” she added. “I was hoping to get back my speed and get my times that I had before, which I have, which I think is a great achievement on my part.”

Tran has had to adjust to more than just a new environment and increased competition as well as recognizing the importance of the county and state meets to the team.

She still asks about the points scoring system that differs from the way Canadian swim meets are scored. Tran is working to pick up the most points she can for the Knights.

“I’m definitely trying to improve and go up the ranks on the relay team,” Tran said.

“There’s A, B and C. I see people my age going faster than me. It motivates me to go faster. I see them trying hard in practice.

They experienced the same stops in their practice (year-round for competitive swimming) as me.”

Tran has found that meets provide just as much of an inspirational lift as do practice opportunities. Being a part of a large and highly successful team has helped.

“I think the fact our team is so huge gives off the energy,” she said. “There’s always someone cheering for you at the other end of the pool. You see small teams and they’re not as loud. Our team has a lot of energy. When you see your teammates rooting for you, you go faster.”

Tran is hoping that she can produce some top times to help North as it aims for county and Central Public B state titles.

The program is feeling especially proud because it has enjoyed success from both its boys and girls teams.

“We’ve never had an undefeated season on both sides,” Robinson said. “We’re heading into the county championships feeling really good about our chances on both sides.”

He also likes the team’s chances for both boys and girls to swim deep into the state tournament. The Knights have topend talent and strong supporting depth.

That combination has them in position to not just cover the events well, but score well in everything. Beyond that, WW-P North has some intangibles like experience that will help.

“We do have solid senior leadership,” Robinson said. “Our captains this year have done a nice job. Just having a number of girls on the team that have the experience of swimming deep into the state tournament, when we won that sectional title a couple years ago, I think that’s going to help a number of the younger swimmers.”

For Tran, her first year in the swim program and living in the United States has meant making some adjustments— more motivated students, harder classes, the new scoring system and new teammates, but the North swim team has offered a certain familiarity that has helped pique her interest.

“I kind of want to try club again,” she said. “Everyone is so fast, and I want to be one of the top kids on the team. Competitive swimming is really hard. I don’t know if I can handle it because this school district is so competitive. I should focus on my grades rather than joining another club. I’m probably going to try out for junior and senior year. I’m hoping I can become captain in my senior year.”

Kuku a bright spot for South wrestling team that works hard together. WW-P South has just 10 wrestlers – it takes 14 to fill an entire lineup – and so team wins will be difficult. The Pirates are focused on improving as individuals each day.

In the wrestling room, Kuku works with Franco Valentine, who wrestles at 195 pounds and Pondharmavarman Ponnayiram, who wrestles at 170 pounds, and Carl Alejandro when he was on the team. They all gave him different looks and challenges.

“Two of them are heavier and one’s lighter,” Kuku said. “Varman is very fast and he’s ready to go back at it so that pushes me to keep up with his pace.

Franco is strong and very determined and that also pushes me to get better.”

Even his opponents have helped his development. Kuku was surprised to find their assistance.

“There was one kid from East Brunswick who remembered me,” Kuku recalled. “He was very helpful. He told me the things I could improve on. While I was working bottom, I didn’t have as much skill as I do now. He told me ways I could improve on that. I thought that was really interesting. I was shocked he remembered me from last year and what I did wrong and what I did well. When I’m looking at people in my weight class, I don’t underestimate them. I know some people underestimate me.”

Kuku returned this year with a simple goal of trying to better his .500 record of

By Justin Feil The demands of wrestling are enough to chase away plenty, but that challenge is just what Ireayo Kuku wanted.

The High School South junior did not wrestle in his first year of high school, but came out last year to modest success and has made big strides in his second season.

“My friends were saying how hard it was, so I thought I’d try it out during sophomore year,” Kuku said. “It is hard, but I’m glad because it’s fulfilling after practice. I felt like if they could do it, I could do it and not complain about it.”

Kuku has had no complaints about his development in his newest sport.

He played soccer through his freshman year and has played lacrosse for WW-P South, but just took up wrestling last year. He never wrestled before that year.

“He didn’t wrestle as a freshman,” said Pirates head coach Warren Gerstacker. “He had about half a season last year and went 7-7. He’s strong and he has a good instinct for things. He’s learning lots of new stuff. He picks up on it pretty quickly. He’s able to use new techniques the day after you teach them. He has a good natural instinct for the sport.”

Kuku started the season in promising fashion. He won the 182-pound division at the Blue Devils Invitational at Ewing.

Kuku pinned the top seed, Rashidi Alleyne of Barnegat, in the semifinals to

High School South’s Franco Valentine (right) wrestles against Ricardo Cruz at Lawrence High School on Jan. 15, 2020. LHS won the match 78-6, and Cruz pinned Valentine in 3:36. (Photo by Suzette J. Lucas.) reach the finals, where he pinned Montgomery’s Alex Ipeker.

“It made me really happy and excited for the year,” Kuku said. “Now I want to see how far I can go with that. It’s also going to keep pushing me. Now I have higher expectations and I don’t want to let anyone down.”

Kuku improved to 8-4 with a pin of redy Alvarado in the Pirates’ 72-12 loss to Trenton on Jan. 18. Kuku will have his

chance to show where he stands at the Mercer County Tournament slated for Feb. 1.

“I feel like there’s always room for improvement, but I’m not doing too bad,” he said. “Better than last year.”

It was all new to Kuku last year. He credits his coaches and teammates with his development and gives praise to God for his success.

Kuku is part of a small Pirates team

a year ago. He was confident with more training and experience, his results would improve. He feels better equipped this year to handle tougher matches and continues to find way to improve.

“I feel I’ve improved a lot more with technique,” Kuku said. “During matches, I’m able to slow down my thoughts and able to realize more moves I can do because I’m aware of my positioning and my opponent’s positioning. Usually during matches I do not take shots. Hopefully I can become better at taking shots. I rely too much on one thing.”

Gerstacker was happy to get another wrestler in the program, and Kuku came in and exceeded any expectations. He has been able to build on his mild firstyear success.

Kuku admits that he was just trying out wrestling last year. He had no idea how well it would go, but now it’s become a focal point among his athletic pursuits.

“I know for lacrosse it was something I did for fun,” Kuku said. “It was a new thing for me coming into high school so I wanted to try that out. I take wrestling much more seriously.”

His efforts are paying off. Kuku gained confidence with his win in the Blue Devils Invitational. It was confirmation that he is moving in the right direction.

The win sets him up to be able to compete better at this year’s Mercer County Tournament. He will still be an underdog but a vastly improved wrestler who could surprise.

“I know about the rapid improvement

he’s making,” Gerstacker said. “He keeps getting better every day and putting in the work he needs to put in and he keeps getting after it every match and tournament. Every time he competes, he can end up going as far as he wants to and is willing to take himself.”

Kuku’s resolve and increased commitment to wrestling has bolstered his confidence and his skills. The results are showing on the mat.

“I expected improvement and I know how strong he is,” Gerstacker said.

“I know he’s athletic and he’s willing to learn and willing to work hard at it. I can’t say I’m terribly surprised. I thought he’d have a pretty successful junior year.”

Kuku is setting an example of the sort of gains that a new wrestler can make with a little hard work and dedication. He’s found another team that he enjoys being a part of, and has become the best of their small, tight-knit team of wrestlers.

“I think it’s really good practice wise,” Kuku said. “We’re all able to push each other. Before practice, we’re able to communicate with each other. We have a real bond. We’re able to joke around. No one is shy. It’s nice.”

Ireayo Kuku took on the challenge of joining the Pirates wrestling team a year ago and has found success in his new sport. It’s difficult, but few things have been more rewarding.

“I just really didn’t want to let down my team,” Kuku said. “I wanted to prove to myself I could do it no matter how hard it is.”

After working in the world of finance in New York City for many years, Connie Huang decided to become a realtor for two reasons.

“I needed a more flexible schedule; I have three kids, and with this job I can manage taking care of them while also work,” she says.

But, she adds, “This is also the best profession for me, because I love looking at houses! I love seeing how they are designed and decorated, how they are constructed: I find that all very interesting.”

Although she interviewed with a few real estate firms, Connie decided to go with Coldwell Banker because, “They are voted one of the most ethical companies in the industry. They treat everyone fairly and truly have their clients’ interests at heart. They are more transparent as far as transactions are concerned: these characteristics are all extremely important to me.”

Connie “pretty much do[es] everything,” she says with a laugh.

“I do rentals, work with buyers, sellers, investors, homes, condos, you name it. I do a great deal of transactions in Princeton, West Windsor, and Montgomery areas.

I also work on South and North Brunswick, Hopewell, Hamilton, Pennington, and Lawrenceville. I even have Edison and Piscataway as part of my territories. But ultimately, I go where my clients need me.”

When asked why she thinks she is so successful at what she does, she pauses and then says, “I always put my clients’ interests

first. There is a trust factor: I really listen to my client’s needs, and walk in their shoes when they speak. I don’t only want to work with a client once: I want to be the lifelong agent they can trust and go to. A lot of my current clients are referrals from past clients, so I believe I am doing what I say I do.”

Work is always a mix for Connie: “I have clients I have sold multiple properties to. I recently had a seller who sold their large home to move into a 55+ community, clients who would rent homes for a while and then purchase. One of my clients was looking to purchase a ranch house because they didn’t want steps. But, after a lengthy and frustrating search, they didn’t see anything that they liked. They were ready to give in and purchase a townhouse. Deep down, I knew they wouldn’t be happy with climbing the stairs in the long run, because of their physical condition.”

Instead, Connie advised them to stay the course and be patient for a little while longer. Sure enough, they found a step-less house that was perfect for them. “They were so happy, and I was happy that I was able to find them what they really wanted!”

Finally, when asked if there is a particular time of year that is best to either buy or sell, Connie says, “Spring market is often a busy time for selling and buying.

But I honestly believe any time of the year can be fine, as long as you position and market your house correctly and have the right staging.” And, without question, the quality of your realtor as well.
