    A couple from Princeton Junc-tion has been working hard overthe last couple of months to bringa new event to Mercer CountyPark, the first-ever Mercer Coun-ty Turkey Trot, which will beheld on Thanksgiving Day, Thurs-day, Nov. 28.

    Adam Cohen and his wife, Deb-bie, who teaches at Grover MiddleSchool, have collaborated withtwo local organizations, JewishFamily and Childrens Serviceand Beth El Synagogue in EastWindsor, to help bring this eventto fruition.

    Before the couple moved toPrinceton Junction four years

    ago, they lived in Naperville, Ill., asuburb of Chicago, where Adamsuccessfully ran a Turkey Trotfor almost 10 years, Debbie said.

    Naperville is a city very muchlike West Windsor, she said.The event started small and be-came a huge fundraiser and greatcommunity event, so when wemoved here, we discovered there

    Since 1999, High School Southhas been continuing a traditionknown as the Hall of Honor,which recognizes a group of indi-viduals at High School South fortheir notable accomplishments.

    The Hall of Honor gives us anopportunity to recognize those in-dividuals who have broughthonor to the school through theirachievements, accomplishments

    and/or contributions to the com-munity and/or school, said Den-nis Lepold, principal at HSS.

    Lepold said the Hall of Honorwas started by former HSS princi-pal Mike Carr, who retired in2002.

    Mike was the principal when Ifirst started teaching at HSS, hesaid. Mike always impressed me.He talked about how important it

    was to hold on to the stories ofpeople who came before to keeptheir memories alive, and howthe legacy of school and traditionneed to stay intact. Thats reallywhy he started it.

    The Hall of Honor pays tributeto individuals, whether its a cur-rent or former teacher or student,in four categories AlumniAchiever Award, Student Achiev-er Award, School Service Awardand Inspiration Award.

    The different awards were

    chosen because they wanted tohit a broad spectrum, Lepoldsaid. They didnt want it to justbe a Hall of Honor for sports; theywere looking for an opportunityto identify with some teacherswho were inspirational, and kidsand people who did service to thedistrict and beyond. They didntwant it to be just for a certaingroup. If it was great or notewor-

    thy, they wanted to include you intheir story.

    This years inductees includeJillian Ritchie Palmieri and Gin-ger Gold Scnitzer for the AlumniAchiever Award; Kristen Cabral,Christopher Sullivan andWilliam Royal for the StudentAchiever Award; Thomas Stuartfor the School Service Award; andBrian Welsh and Edna Lutton forthe Inspiration Award.

    Most have made an impact inthe school as remarkable teach-

    ers, longtime coaches, mentors,leaders and successful students.

    Its a great night for people tobe remembered, Lepold said.Their memory stands here, evenif they're gone.

    A committee of between 10 and12 people choose the inducteesevery other year. School employ-

    was a Turkey Trot in Princeton,but not one in Mercer CountyPark, which seems like such anatural place for this event, so wewent about trying to figure outhow we could put this together.

    Debbie said the event inNaperville became an annual tra-dition, where families who got to-gether for the holidays wouldcome out, decoratively adorned inturkey hats and other Thanksgiv-ing-related clothing, and work offsome calories before going to eattheir big Thanksgiving meals.

    Its just a fun day, she said.Were not looking to cannibalizethe run in Princeton, but therescertainly enough need for foodthis time of year, so the more peo-

    ple doing Turkey Trots the betterbecause thats more food and do-nations that are collected for peo-ple who are in need.

    Adam said the whole idea be-hind the Turkey Trot is to get peo-ple active and excited before theyhead off to a big, hearty meal.

    We thought it was fun to getup, get exercise and then go eat inthe afternoon; basically, to takeoff calories before putting someon, he said. Its also a way to get

    people together as a family.From its inception to the timehe left Illinois, Adam saw theNaperville Turkey Trot growfrom about 50 people to 2,500 peo-ple, an accomplishment he hopesto achieve for the Mercer CountyTurkey Trot.

    My short-term goal is to get200 runners this first year, andmy long-term goal is to continueto build this as an annual event,he said. Mercer County Park canprobably accommodate more

    than 2,000 runners.Adam and Debbie are also

    reaching out to various highschools, both public and private,throughout the township in hopesof getting more students in-

    volved.In Illinois, when kids go away

    to college, Thanksgiving morningis really the first time theyreback home, Adam said. Overtime, kids would arrange to runthe race because thats when theysaw their friends returning fromschool, and we hope the samething happens here.

    Adam also hopes to get more

    local organizations throughoutMercer County involved so everymunicipality is encouraged toparticipate and more foodpantries can benefit from the ef-fort.

    The best thing that could hap-pen is that we get a whole bunchof organizations to organize itand all funds would go to foodpantries throughout the county,he said. Were all coming togeth-er to feed the hungry.

    The family has always volun-

    teered for and donated to theTrenton Area Soup Kitchen, aswell as other local food banks. Allproceeds from the run are benefit-ing the JFCS Food Bank, TASK,other local food banks and BethEl Synagogue.

    The Turkey Trot will be heldon Thursday, Nov. 28 at MercerCounty Park, located at 334 SouthPost Road in West Windsor.

    The entry fee for the 5K RoadRace or the 1 Mile Fun Walk/Run

    is $25 before Oct. 31, and $30 afteror the day of. Participantswho register prior to Nov. 20 areguaranteed to receive a t-shirt.

    Kindness. Compassion. Empathy. Theseare words that seem to be missing in somany people's vocabularies these days.These words certainly are not missing inHemant Marathe's vocabulary. He livesthem every day. People say to lose a child is

    the most horrific thing a parent can experi-ence. However, if you lose a child to sui-cide, not only do you suffer the tragic painof loss, but the community judges you.Some turn their backs on you and you facediscrimination, as many people do not un-

    derstand that suicide is only the symptomof an illness. Hemant Marathe was therefor my family and I in our darkest hour. Welost our precious son. Our daughter, Kate-lyn, lost her beloved brother. While othercommunity members did not understandand offered no support, Hemant was therefor Katelyn. Katelyn was now the sister ofthe student who completed suicide and shebecame the target of the entire school's at-

    tention. Most adults don't know how tohandle a suicide, so how does a 15-year-old?

    Hemant was always kind. He was com-passionate. He listened. Most importantly,he was available. In this world of no oneever having enough time, Hemant always

    made time for us. Hemant promptly an-swered emails. He would meet with us, inhis home, after a long, hard day of work. Itdidn't matter. He knew we were hurting as

    ELECTION LETTERS

    Letters to the editor regarding theNov. 5 election will not be printed in theOct. 30 edition. The Oct. 23 edition willbe the last edition before elections to

    print these letters.

    Last week, the town council in

    Moorestown passed an ordi-

    nance. Town councils every-

    where pass ordinances all the time. Its

    part of what they do, the process by

    which they enact, or in this instance

    repeal, rules and regulations.

    But this particular ordinance thatMoorestowns council passed on Oct. 7

    is especially pertinent, not just for that

    town, but for many others throughout

    the state.

    The ordinance in question repealed

    a pay-to-play ordinance that was origi-

    nally passed on Aug. 19. That ordi-

    nance sought to bring the townships

    political contributions policy in linewith that of the states.

    Controversy arose, however, when

    the details came out contribution lev-

    els to candidates for council increased

    from $300 to $2,600 for professional

    business entities and from $500 to

    $7,200 for a political action committee.

    Thats a lot of money for a local elec-

    tion.Not surprisingly, a committee of

    residents gathered almost 1,400 signa-

    tures opposing the ordinance, and

    fewer than two months later, it was off

    the townships books.

    We think this was a good move by

    the council. Were all for pay-to-play

    ordinances that protect local towns

    from being run by outside influencessuch as corporations or other political

    entities. Local politics, more so than

    any other form of government, should

    be about the residents of the town.

    Local elections should be about the

    candidates involved and what they

    will do for the town and its residents.

    Period. It shouldnt be about what

    businesses want to see or political

    machines want to see. Its about the

    people.

    Ironically, we believe Moorestowns

    initial contribution limits would be

    more effective in eliminating corrup-

    tion than the pay-to-play ordinance the

    council passed in August. As such,were happy to see it was rescinded.

    However, we do encourage the

    Moorestown council, and all local

    councils, commissions and commit-

    tees in New Jersey, to pass regulations

    on contribution limits, if such regula-

    tions arent already on the books.

    Its election season, and as we watch

    debates and read about issues fromcandidates at the state level and hear

    of even more trouble at the federal

    level its hard not to lose confidence

    in the honesty and integrity of politics

    today.

    But local elections and local politics

    dont have to be that way, as long as we

    control it.

    in our opinion

    Under our controlLocal elections dont have to get out of hand

    Your thoughts

    Do you think municipalities should havestrict pay-to-play ordinances? Or do youthink local politics can govern itself?

    Vote for Rakesh Kak for

    school board on Nov. 5I am writing this letter in sup-

    port of Rakesh Kak for the WestWindsor school board position. Ihave known Rakesh for morethan 14 years. In these years ofour association, I have observedhis sincere and helpful naturewith a constant emphasis onquality education for his chil-dren. He graduated with an elec-trical engineering degree fromthe prestigious institution IIT in

    India and a MBA from ColumbiaBusiness School. His desire forthe best education for his chil-dren drove him to the high-rank-ing WW-P district in 2004.

    Rakesh is an active member ofhis community as a member ofthe LeParc board for the last fiveyears. He volunteers in schools,on soccer fields, in fundraisingfor the WW-P Education Founda-

    tion and WW Arts Council, andsupports charitable organizationsfrom the local HomeFront in Mer-cer County to educating girls inIndia (through Bitiya). It does notcome as a surprise to me that hewishes to be on the school boardto help maintain the excellence ineducation our district hasachieved.

    As parents, we need someoneto be our voice and Rakesh is theideal candidate. He has firsthandexperience and knowledge of thedistrict's schools from kinder-garten to high school level. Withtwo children currently in theschool district, he has a vested in-

    terest in the betterment and up-keep of the school district. His ex-perience in the financial industry,excellent interpersonal skills andhard-working personality will beassets to the school board.

    I am proud to support Rakeshon his candidacy for the schoolboard, and I encourage everyoneto support and vote for him onNov. 5 for the West Windsor

    school board position.Suparna Mahableshwarkar

    Louisa Ho would be good

    addition to school boardPlease vote for Louisa Ho for

    one of the two West Windsorseats on the West Windsor Plains-boro School Board. We haveknown Louisa for eight years.Our daughter, Nikita Gupta, wasin her Girl Scout troop for eightyears. Under Louisas leadershipand guidance, Nikita helped re-furbish a dilapidated room into alibrary for Hispanic Catholiccommunity El Centro in Trenton.

    The project helped her win theGirl Scout Gold Award.Louisa is highly responsible,

    organized, creative, great withkids and committed to helpingothers. She goes the extra mile tomake activities special for thegirls. She brought out the best inthe girls in her troop, ten ofwhom earned the prestigious GirlScout Gold Award. We have been

    very fortunate to have Louisa asour troop leader.

    She brings many wonderfulskills to the school board. Weheartily endorse her, and encour-age others to vote for her as well.

    grow and entrepreneurs fulfilltheir dreams and operationalgoals. Rakesh has been a pleasure

    to work with, and I have seen himmany times in action represent-ing the interests of young entre-preneurs and investors. I stronglybelieve his commitment to educa-tion, team-building skills togetherwith his technical and businessbackground ideally suits him for

    leading the discourse on educa-tion in the 21st century and specif-ically shaping the West Windsor-Plainsboro Districts future.

    My family lives in Brooklyn,but if we had such an outstand-ing candidate in our neighbor-hood, we would wholeheartedly

    embrace him. I encourage all theresidents of West Windsor to votefor Rakesh Kak on Nov. 5. You willbe proud and happy to have himas a member of your schoolboard.

    Rakesh Kak will get job

    done for school boardI have known Rakesh Kak andhis family for the 15 years weresided in West Windsor. Duringthat time, Rakesh served with meon the Le Parc HomeownersBoard Of Directors, where I helda seat for 14 years.

    I always found Rakesh to be agood balance of professional, sen-sible, family oriented, and alwayshad the ability to get the job done.Our board functioned successful-

    ly, due to the fact that the primeinitiative was the good of the de-velopment and not the good of theindividual. One example of hisnegotiation skills was exhibitedduring our 2009 contract re-

    newals with Brickman Landscap-ing. Through a successful biddingprocess, Rakesh was able toachieve a 20 percent savings forour development.

    Another prime example wasPost Prom for High School Southin 2010. The security committeewas short individuals to host theevent. I had reached out to

    Rakesh, asked for his participa-tion, and together we stood guardall night, at the event. He did noteven have children in the highschool, at that time, but was stillwilling to step up, when he wasneeded.

    I could not think of abetter/committed candidate forschool board. Rakesh will openlyappraise the situation, thinkclearly and find the most efficientsolution, to get the job done.

    It is my opinion, Rakesh Kak,will be a welcomed addition to theWest Windsor School Board, and Istrongly encourage everyone tovote for him on Nov. 5.
