School hosts annual GSA forum
BY KATIE MORGAN
The West Windsor Sun
West Windsor-Plainsboro High
School South hosted the annual
New Jersey Gay Straight Alliance
Forum on Nov. 17.
The all-day event was organ-
ized by the WW-P South Gay
Straight Alliance, (GSA,) and Hi-
TOPS, a Princeton-based organi-
zation that promotes adolescent
health and wellness.
The forum began with an ad-
dress from keynote speaker Ellen
Sudow, a board member of the
Southern Poverty Law Center, a
nonprofit civil rights organiza-
tion.
Alex Lawrence, the GSA advis-
er, said the highlight of the forum
came when Superintendent Victo-
ria Kniewel, EdD, and WW-P
South principal Dennis Lepold
addressed the attendees.
For them to come meant a lot
to me, Lawrence said. And I
think it means a lot for the stu-
dents to know the administration
is so supportive.
Corinne OHara, a HiTOPS Co-
ordinator and Health Educator,
said the students were instru-
mental in the planning process
for this years forum.
West Windsor-Plainsboro
South has a really strong GSA,
OHara said. They have students
who attend a program at HiTOPS KATIE MORGAN/The West Windsor Sun
Students and community members at the New Jersey Gay Straight Alliance Forum at West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South on Nov. 17
attend a workshop hosted by HiTops, a group of local high school seniors who are advocates for peer sexual health and education.

The West Windsor Sun
The Dutch Neck Presbyterian
Church of West Windsor held a
successful Thanksgiving Dona-
tion Drive this month to benefit
local charitable organizations.
Congregants were invited to
put together baskets that includ-
ed all the necessary ingredients
for a traditional Thanksgiving
dinner and a grocery store gift
card or a voucher for a turkey.
The donation drive, run by the
Deacons, aimed to complete 20
baskets.
We ended up with 24 baskets
and vouchers for 21 turkeys, said
Don Hanley, Moderator of the
Deacons. Our congregation is
very giving. Theyre great peo-
ple.
The baskets were delivered to
Homefront, an organization head-
quartered in Trenton.
I think people participate so
eagerly for two reasons, Hanley
said. One is to provide for people
who dont have what we have.
Were very fortunate. Second, I
think it teaches your children to
give thanks for what they have,
and share, and make it important
to be sure everyone has a nice
meal on Thanksgiving. It helps
teach our children that giving is
the right thing.
The Dutch Neck Church runs
donation drives and charitable
programs throughout the year,
and has just begun collecting toys
for the annual Christmas pro-
gram.
Weve worked with the Chil-
drens Home Society for at least 30
years, Hanley said. They give
us a list of the children theyre
taking care of, their ages and gen-
ders, and what they would like for
Christmas. Members of the con-
gregation choose a name and
they buy that toy. We do the same
thing with an Easter basket in the
spring and a backpack with
school supplies in August.
Hanley said the churchs chari-
table activities provide the

I
ts no secret New Jersey leaders
want sports betting legalized in the
state. In fact, plans are that it will
start on Jan. 9 depending on the sta-
tus of a lawsuit brought by Major
League Baseball, the National Football
League, the National Basketball Asso-
ciation, the National Hockey League
(like that really matters right now) and
the NCAA.
The leagues and associations some-
how are able to say with a straight face
that legalized sports betting in the
state would hurt the integrity of their
games. These are the same leagues, of
course, that have no problem playing
games in other countries where bet-
ting is legal. Some of you might re-
member the Rams and Patriots game
last month in England, for example.
The facts are well known:
* A 20-year-old federal law limits
sports betting legal to Nevada,
Delaware, Oregon and Montana.
* Hundreds of billions of dollars are
being bet on sports illegally these days.
* The leagues and associations arent
exactly hurting for money.
* New Jerseys casino and horse rac-
ing industries are struggling. They
were struggling before Hurricane
Sandy. After the Hurricane? Well, has
anyone representing the leagues and
associations seen the photos coming
from Atlantic City?
* Legalized sports betting would be a
boon to the casinos and tracks. It
would mean monster weekends in AC
when major sporting events are taking
place. Some of the money now being
spent with offshore gambling outfits or
through illegal means right here in the
states would flow, legally, into the
states economy.
Frankly, the sports leagues and asso-
ciations should be embarrassed. Their
preference to keep sports betting dol-
lars flowing to illegal enterprises than
local economies is shameful. They
should do the right thing and welcome
sports betting to New Jersey next
month.
in our opinion
Betting deadline looms
Sports leagues should welcome New Jersey to betting ranks on Jan. 9
Let the betting begin
New Jersey plans to allow sports bet-
ting Jan. 9. Sports leagues oppose the
move. Their opposition, especially in
the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, is
simply shameful.
letters to the editor
Government should balance
budgets, cut spending
Dont tax you. Dont tax me. Tax that
fellow behind the tree! said Russell B.
Long, Democratic senator from Louisiana
from 1948 to 1987. As Washington gets set to
raise taxes on The 2 percent, a large num-
ber of Mercer County residents will take a
hit. According to 2011 Census Department
data, 14.5 percent of Mercer County house-
holds have incomes exceeding $200K. While
I understand that the country must gain
control over the deficit, I urge considera-
tion for a meaningful reduction in our
spending and the pursuit of policies that
encourage new business formation.
But, even as federal tax rates are about
to climb, the Democrats in the state house
want to hike the top N.J. income tax rate to
10.75 percent. New Jersey already taxes its
affluent citizens at a higher rate than any
other state except New York. Only Con-
necticut has a higher property tax. Only
New York and California have a higher in-
dividual income tax burden. Only four
states have a higher sales tax.
Even closer to home, this fiscal year the
Mercer County property tax rate increased
more than 10 percent!
There seems to be no regard that the in-
dividual taxpayer and small businessper-
son are being squeezed from top to bottom.
Our state is in danger of falling into the
same downward spiral into which Califor-
nia, Illinois and the high-tax countries of
Europe currently find themselves.
No country or state ever has taxed its
way to prosperity. Its time that govern-
ment at all levels adopt sound fiscal
practices familiar to any household: Bal-
ance your budget and cut spending to live
within your means!

Superstorm Sandy highlights
concerns for solar site
Our communications with emergency
contacts during Super Storm Sandy did
not go so well prior to the storm, when
South Post residents witnessed an alarm-
ing amount of water pooling on the
MCCCs industrial-sized solar site and not
draining away. MCCCs 45-acre site has just
recently been cleared and destroyed with
the careless removal of over 130 trees.
Funny, our neighborhood lost electricity
early on Monday night but the campus of
MCCC remained brightly lit throughout
the storm and for the remainder of our
days without power. With the removal of
all the buffering trees in the campus park-
ing area and now compared to our very
dark neighborhood, MCCC was just full of
glaring light pollution.
Weve been trying to get the attention of
the County, the College and the MCIA to
meet and address our storm water runoff
and drainage concerns for months now.
And I think we are all very lucky that
this storm did not come with the heavy

called First and Third. Its an
LGBTQ educational and support
program. The students come and
they bring allies, so weve always
had a good working relationship.
They volunteered to host it at the
school, and we agreed almost im-
mediately.
The theme of the 2012 Forum,
now in its ninth year, was Privi-
lege and Oppression.
Educators, organization lead-
ers, experts and students present-
ed 19 workshops in three sessions.
Workshops centered on educat-
ing parents, gay students and al-
lies on acceptance of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and
Questioning community.
Through the forum were real-
ly trying to implement communi-
ty outreach, said Gujri Singh,
vice president of the WW-P South
GSA. Our ultimate goal is to
make sure every student has a
place to feel safe.
OHara praised the response of
the WW-P South administration
to the Forum.
The principal was really sup-
portive, and that sends a really
positive message about a commu-
nity of respect, she said. The
school responded in such a posi-
tive way and the students were re-
ally excited about it. It just cre-
ates good relationships within the
school and the community.
Singh was pleased with the
number of attendees at the
Forum, and said she enjoyed
being a part of the planning com-
mittee.
Bringing the forum here al-
lowed our whole group to come
together, she said. We also got
to work with other GSAs from dif-
ferent schools. Its just a thing
that really brings people together,
especially in such a student-cen-
tered town.
In the final workshop session,
the HiTOPS Teen Council pre-
sented a signature workshop ti-
tled Bridges of Respect. The
council is a group of 20 area high
school seniors who are trained in
leadership skills and sexuality is-
sues.
The workshop opened with
skits that highlighted stereotypes,
slurs and common misconcep-
tions. The council then split the
audience into small discussion
groups.
Lawrence thinks planning the
forum helped the students in-
volved grow as members of the
community.
These are such great kids,
she said. And they can do great
things if you just show them re-
spect for being who they are.
OHara said she was thrilled to
see so many students who arent
involved in the WW-P GSA
and students from other high
schools.
We want kids to see there are
roles to take, she said. You can
be a leader, an advocate, a role
model. It sends a message to kids
that they can do this too. They
can step up.

biggest lessons for the children of

I got involved to teach my chil-
dren that when people give, it
makes them feel good, he said.
Its always nice to receive a pres-
ent, but sometimes its even bet-
ter to give one.
The Dutch Neck Presbyterian
Church, located at 154 South Mill
Road, recently added a new Sun-
day morning service aimed at the
congregations youngest mem-
bers.
We thought there was a need
for people to bring children to
church who cant sit still for an
hour, Hanley said. So we added
this second service, at 11:15 on
Sundays. There are three easy-to-
sing hymns and a scripture les-
son. Theres no real sermon and it
only lasts about half an hour.
Hanley said the new service
has been particularly beneficial
to his family.
I have a grandchild who is
slightly autistic, he said. He
cant sit still and the loud music
from the organ bothers him, but
this service is just perfect. Its an
open door service. You dont have
to be Presbyterian to come, or
join the church. It doesnt matter
what religion you are just
come.

The West Windsor-Plainsboro
High School South Pirate March-
ing Band placed fourth in the US-
Bands National Championship
for Group2 open bands on Sunday,
Nov. 11 at MetLife Stadium in the
Meadowlands.
This is an incredible accom-
plishment for the band, and is the
highest that they have placed in
the last 5 years.
Their show, Fly Away in-
volved three main concepts. The
first was clouds, and featured
Among the Clouds by Brian Bal-
mages. The second, flying, fea-
tured One Day Ill Fly Away
from the hit movie soundtrack
Moulin Rouge, and wind fea-
tured Windsprints by Richard
Saucedo.
The band started working over
the summer, and has been re-
hearsing intensively throughout
the fall. The band has performed
their show at most High School
South (HSS) football games as
well as various USBands competi-
tions. They have received many
compliments from the
WW-P community, and the US-
Bands judging panels have award-
ed high scores for their excel-
lence.
The student drum majors of
the band are: Elianna Wydra (se-
nior) and Shivram Viswanathan
(junior). Student executive offi-
cers include: Olivia Gladwin
(president) and Rebecca Ho Van
Dyke & Elianna Wydra (vice
presidents). Also, the marching
band is supported by a strong par-
ent booster organization, led by
Gina Finnie.
The band is led by Ali Carra-
her, the Director of Bands at High
School South.
I am so incredibly proud of
the students in the band this year.
They have worked so hard, and
accomplished so much as a team.
They have grown as individuals,
as a family, and simply have had a
blast through our journey of re-
hearsals, football game, and com-
petitions. Placing fourth at na-
tionals was just the icing on the
cake. We currently have a really
strong team of seniors in the
band, who will be sorely missed
next year.
Seniors in the band this year
are: Rebecca Braverman, Nikhil
Dondapati, Rebecca Finnie,
Olivia Gladwin, Kyle Houck, Jan-
ice Lin, Belinda Liu, Matt
McGuinness, Rishya Narayanan,
Azhad Syed, Rebecca Van Dyke,
Elianna Wydra.
The band is supported by a
team of adult instructors: Ali
Carraher (director) Mike Davis
(asst. director & music arrange-
ment), Chris Vitale (drill design)
Ryan Lysy (battery percussion),
Chelsea McFarland (pit percus-
sion), Jeremy Hickson and
Melanie Bugher (color guard).
Im always amazed at how
much time and effort the band
coaches put into the Pirate
Marching Band. Whether they
are volunteering or receiving a
small stipend, they are doing it
for the love of marching band and
to help our kids. The band could-
nt perform at this level without
them, commented Louisa Ho, a
band parent.

Marching band places fourth in national competition

rains that were predicted. But
thanks to modern technology, we
visually captured the massive col-
lection of storm water runoff on
video and we hope the township
can help us finally address this
major concern appropriately. We
need to be very proactive. Listen-
ing to and watching the flood vic-
tims on television during this
past storm has just been absolute-
ly devastating to all of us.
So once again, here are some of
our other significant issues with
MCCCs massive solar site:
So why are 33,000 solar panels
75 feet away from homeowners?
Despite all the poor planning
with respect to environmental,
drainage and fiscal issues, this is
our Mercer County government
at work:
On May 21, 2012, the following
was submitted by MCCC Presi-
dent Dr. Patricia Donohue to
MCCCs Voice newspaper:
In recent weeks, there have
been some questions from the
community about the solar ener-
gy project to be installed by the
Mercer County Improvement Au-
thority (MCIA) at Mercer County
Community College (MCCC). I
would like to correct some inac-
curate perceptions and empha-
size to the MCCC student
bodyThe closest solar panel to
any private property is 100 yards
thats the length of a football
field.
On May 22, 2012, MCIA Execu-
tive Phil Miller and Chairman of
MCCC Board of Trustees Mark
Matzen states in their Op Ed
piece to the Trenton Times:
The facts are these:.. The
closest solar panel to any individ-
ual home is 100 yards away
thats a football field away.
Again, WHY are 33,000 solar
panels 75 feet away from home-
owners? Why is a large-scale in-
dustrial-sized solar project on
farmland, in a residential and en-
vironmentally sensitive area filled
with streams, wildlife and wet-
lands? Why are there no berms
(also promised in MCCCs press
release) to buffer this huge utility
from our beautiful neighborhood?
So many questions and yet there is
no accountability to be found with
MCCCs renewable energy project.
Imagine what can go wrong with
our significant drainage concerns
and the removal of over 130 trees,
if MCCC and the MCIA cannot
figure out what the distance of a
football field is. Believe me, we are
very worried!
The many flaws in MCIAs proj-
ect demonstrate the importance
of proper planning in New Jersey,
especially in Mercer County and
in West Windsor, to steer massive
solar development away from
farmland. West Windsor resi-
dents and the Mercer County
Board of Freeholders were told a
courtesy planning board review
would be held in West Windsor,
but of course MCCC nor MCIA
kept that promise either. A formal
and legal public hearing should
have been required for a $40 mil-
lion dollar project and would have
helped the residents get their nu-
merous concerns addressed. We
need to be more proactive and re-
sponsible with our solar develop-
ment in Mercer County and espe-
cially in West Windsor so that it
will not destroy anymore farm-
land, beautiful forests or environ-
mentally sensitive areas. Over
450 petition signers at SmarterSo-
larNJ.com agree that we need to
save our farmland now!
Im very, very concerned!
