On Mercer Lake in West Windsor, teens at the Princeton National Rowing Centers 2011 summer Resolute Racing Camp practice rowing.
Council
adopts
revised
budget
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
The West Windsor township
council at a recent meeting
adopted a slightly revised ver-
sion of its 2012-13 municipal
budget which trimmed the
original budget by $150,000.
The amendment brings the
tax-rate increase down from
1.86 percent, as proposed in the
original version of the budget,
to 1.36 percent.
The reduction means taxes
for the average household with
a residential assessment of
$523,950 will increase $26.20
per year instead of the origi-
nally proposed tax increase of
$41.92.
Despite the reduction, the
amendment fell far short of
what some council members
had hoped to achieve.
At a March 26 meeting,
town council members voted
to amend the proposed budget
by $463,000, which would have
resulted in a zero-percent tax-
rate increase over last year.
Since the vote was not taken
during or after the April 16
public budget hearing, howev-
er, the motion was not binding,
according to township attor-
Teen rowers flock to Mercer Lake
By JULIE STIPE
The West Windsor Sun
At the Caspersen Rowing Cen-
ter in Mercer County Park, its a
beautiful and perfectly still
morning.
Mercer Lake is glassy and
calm, and in huge, garage-like
boat bays, racing shells the
term used to describe the long,
sleek boats used in rowing are
stacked nearly up to the ceiling,
waiting for their turn on the lake.
This nearly perfect stillness is
shattered each afternoon, said
Kristopher Grudt, executive di-
rector of the Princeton National
Rowing Association (PNRA),
when hundreds of kids from the
Lawrenceville School, the Hun
School, Peddie School and those
who are part of the centers Mer-
cer Junior Rowing Club, come
pouring into the boathouse and
on to the lake for rowing practice.
Caspersen Rowing Center, run
by PNRA, is a world-class facility,
said Grudt, though many in West
Windsor may not realize it even
exists.
It is an Olympic training site,
the site of a number of Olympic
team trials for rowing, and has
hosted the International Rowing
Federations World Masters Re-
gatta, the NCAA Womens Row-
ing Championships and the
World Rowing Cup, among other
major regattas.
The center is outfitted for
major events with a seven-lane
racecourse, finish line tower,
spectator areas and start and tim-
ing facilities.

305 Clarksville Road.
A further inspection revealed

with motor vehicle services.
Upon speaking with the driver, a
37-year-old West Windsor man,
Jany observed several indica-
tions that he had been operating
his vehicle while under the influ-
ence. The man was requested to
perform several field sobriety
checks, which police say he did
not pass.
He was placed under arrest,
taken to headquarters and

el. Upon meeting with the driver,
a 25-year-old West Windsor
woman, Silcox said he observed
several signs of intoxication.
Silcox said he asked the
woman to perform several field
sobriety tests, which she did not
pass. She was placed under ar-
rest, taken to headquarters, and
processed for the arrest. The
woman was issued traffic sum-
monses for drunken driving, fail-
ure to maintain a lane, obstructed
windshield view and reckless
driving.
She was released on her own
recognizance, pending a future
court date.
On April 14, 12:23 a.m. at Vil-
lage Road West and Eastern
Drive, Patrolman VanNess
stopped a gray two-door Mit-
subishi for speeding. Upon meet-
ing with the driver, a 19-year old
West Windsor man, he observed
several signs of intoxication. An

Prussia, Pa., lost control (due to
an unknown reason), struck the

ued off this impact and impacted
with the side of a 1987 Ford motor
home.
The motor home was traveling
northbound on US Route 1, being
operated by a 68-year-old man
from Lower Woodstock, N.B.,
Canada.
The impact with the Kia
caused the motor home to lose
control and eventually overturn
on to its roof.
The man and his passenger, a
55-year-old woman also from
Lower Woodstock, were trapped
in the wreck and had to be extri-
cated from the vehicle by the West
Windsor Township Emergency
Services, Princeton Junction Fire
Department, West Windsor Vol-
unteer Fire Company and para-
medics from Capital Health Sys-
tems.
Both the driver of the motor
home and the passenger were
transported to Capital Health Sys-
tems Regional Medical Center
(via New Jersey State Police heli-
copters) where they were admit-
ted with undisclosed injuries.
The motor-home was trailering
an SUV.

in our opinion
A
nyone who doubted the need
for New Jersey to enact
tougher laws against bullying
should read the story of Sawyer
Rosenstein. The Associated Press re-
ported last week that his family had
settled with the Ramsey school district
for $4.2 million.
The reason for the settlement: Back
in 2006, a student with a history of bul-
lying other kids punched Rosenstein
in the stomach, leaving him paralyzed.
The AP story notes that the familys
lawsuit alleged that the puncher had a
history of being a bully, and that the
school district knew or should have
known about it.
Even more distressing, Rosenstein,
then only 12, had emailed school offi-
cials notifying them that he was being
bullied.
After the death of Rutgers student
Tyler Clementi, the state got tough on
bullying.
In addition to mandating training
and reporting, the law states that bul-
lies can be suspended or expelled from
school.
And that, removing the problem
from schools, will go a long way to-
ward solving the problem.
Some critics of the new law claim it
is too burdensome and could lead to
more lawsuits and additional expenses
for school districts. Well, so be it.
Every child should feel safe at
school. No child should go to school
every day in fear of being attacked,
physically or emotionally. Schools
have to be safe havens.
And its hard to believe that school
districts dont have, or cant have, a
good idea of who the bullies are. The
kids certainly do.
The law came too late for many N.J.
students, but it is in place now, and we
encourage every school district to
make sure that everything possible is
done to ensure the safety of every stu-
dent.
Simply identifying and then getting
rid of the bullies will go a long way to-
ward achieving that goal.
No doubt about bullying laws
A punch that paralyzed a student leads to huge settlement
Getting tough on bullies
Last week, we saw another reminder
of why it is imperative that school dis-
tricts take a hard line against bullying.
Identify the bullies. Then remove
them from the school.
ney Michael Herbert.
During the April 16 meeting, Council-
man Bryan Maher passed out spreadsheets
to council members and the public propos-
ing reductions to 62 budget line items, for a
total budget reduction of $170,158.
The adjustments, Maher said, would
bring the budgeted amounts more in line
with actual expenditures from the past
three years.
Combined with a portion of the $2 mil-
lion one-time revenue the township re-
ceived for liquor licenses as well as in-
creased revenue projections, Maher said it
would be simple for the township to get to a
zero-percent tax-rate increase.
Councilwoman Linda Geevers said she
absolutely supported Mahers efforts to
prevent taxes from increasing.
It shouldnt be a novel idea to get to a
zero cent increase, she said.
Geevers suggested using $200,000 from
the townships liquor license revenue,
$150,000 from the township fund balance,
increasing revenue projections by $100,000
and reducing operating expenses by $8,000
in order to get to the $458,000 which the ad-
ministration said would result in a zero
cent tax increase.
Plenty of padding goes on in the operat-
ing budget, Geevers added.
Councilwoman Kristina Samonte ex-
pressed hesitation over the wisdom of
using one-time revenue from liquor licenses
in the operating budget as it is not consid-
ered best practice to use one-time money
for annual operating expenses. However, Sa-
monte acknowledged that economic recov-
ery has been slow, that household incomes
are down, and that the township should
work really hard to do more with less.
Councilman George Borek disagreed
that amendments should be made to keep
taxes from increasing, declaring that bold
moves got this country in trouble.
People come to West Windsor for stabili-
ty, Borek said, and the township should
work toward a better budget each year
while remaining prudent.
Yes, property taxes are important, but
not to the point that they need to be at
zero, Borek said.
Councilman Borek proposed a $150,000
amendment to the budget, which would re-
duce operating expenditures for the plan-
ning board attorney by $10,000, and would
use an additional $140,000 from the town-
ships fund balance.
The amendment mirrored a suggestion
made by Mayor Shing-Fu Hsueh in a mem-
orandum to council members prior to the
meeting, prompting a claim from Maher
that the township administration is work-
ing through certain members of the coun-
cil.
Geevers and Maher proposed an amend-
ment to Boreks amendment that would
have reduced the budget by $450,000.
The amount, though lower than the
$458,000 the administration originally
quoted as being the amount necessary to
keep the tax rate flat, would still, according
to the administration, result in a zero-per-
cent tax-rate increase.
A vote on the amendment to the amend-
ment did not pass, with Geevers and Maher
voting yes and Borek, Samonte and Council
President Kamal Khanna voting no.
A vote on the original amendment as
proposed by Borek passed with yes votes
by Borek, Samonte and Khanna, and no
votes by Geevers and Maher.

The Right Appliance At The Right Price!
lake and its situation makes it
ideal for events as well.
The lake itself has very little
current, and usually very little
wind as well, both problems that
often plague racing courses.
And its no accident that Mer-
cer Lake in Mercer County Park
is perfectly shaped for rowing
competitions, according to Grudt.
Rumor has it that one of the
engineers building the lake was a
rower, said Grudt. He said, If
we tweak it like this we can have
a rowing course.
Whatever the case, Mercer
County Park ended up with a lake
that had a straight stretch just the
right length for rowing, and in
1988, not long after the lake was
built, the Olympic team trials for
rowing were first held at the lake.
Caspersen Rowing Center not
only houses the rowing teams of
local private schools, it is also
home to the Mercer Junior Row-
ing Club. The club, Grudt said, is
for any high school student
whose school does not offer a row-
ing program.
The group was formed in 2002,
Grudt said, with about 50 kids,
and has grown to about 150 kids
from around 25-30 schools in the
area. The program is part of
PNRAs efforts to make rowing ac-
cessible to anyone who might be
interested.
Though there is a fee to join the
Mercer team, Grudt stressed the
association does not let the ex-
pense stop anyone from rowing.
We have donors to make sure
no one gets turned away, Grudt
said. Thats something we pride
ourselves on. We make sure that
any kid who wants to participate
can.
On the first Saturday in June,
the center hosts an event as part
of National Learn to Row Day, an-
other way Grudt hopes to intro-
duce the public to rowing.
Its for anybody who has ever
wanted to see what the sports all
about, said Grudt. Anyone who
shows up, Grudt said, can get in a
boat and see what its like to row.
PNRA also hopes rowing will
catch the attention of Trenton
kids.
We are working on an out-
reach program to bring rowing to
youth who wouldnt normally
consider rowing, Grudt said.
The best way theyve found to
do this, Grudt said, is by having
high school junior and senior
rowers mentor kids from the
Joyce Kilmer Elementary School
in Trenton.
The mentoring program acts
as a gradual introduction to row-
ing for the kids.
But getting kids involved in
rowing is not just about further-
ing the sport, Grudt stressed. I
think one of the strengths of the
program is not only teaching
them to row but helping them to
realize there are options, Grudt
said.
So why row?
This may sound clichd, said
Grudt. But I think that rowing in
some ways is the ultimate team
sport. Theres no star, Grudt
pointed out, as there is in some
sports, and everything must be
done in perfect unison.
This takes serious teamwork.
It builds a lot of great rela-
tionships with other people,
Grudt said. You dont have to
like everyone youre in the boat
with, but you have to get along.
