A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at theSchenck Farmstead on Sept. 10 to celebrate thegrand opening of the West Windsor History Mu-seum, which has been in the making for morethan a decade by members of the West WindsorHistorical Society.

The ceremony was held in the antiquated one-room schoolhouse located on the grounds, andalso featured a tour of the new museum, whichis housed in the renovated British Dutch barnon site.

The Schenck family is one of the two foundingfamilies of West Windsor, and its farmstead isthe only old-fashioned farmland thats still locat-ed in the township, according to Mayor Shing-FuHsueh.

We have been talking about converting thisinto a museum and preserving all of the facili-ties here for many, many years, he said. Youdont have many museums that date back to the1730s, which is why we worked so hard with theWest Windsor Historical Society to providethis.

The farmstead has a handful of buildings, in-

cluding the Schenck Farmhouse, built in the1730s and renovated for residents to tour; theschoolhouse; and a couple of barns, one in

In 1991, the township took own-ership of the farmstead. The ma-

jority of the renovations made tothe land, totaling $700,000, werecompleted by the township ad-ministration over the last 12years.

During that time, members of

the WWHS focused their effortson collecting memorabilia and in-formation for the museum.

All items featured in the muse-um date back to the early 1900s,and were donated by members ofthe community, according to Clif-ford Reed, president of theWWHS.

Some items include horse andcarriage equipment, old farm

tools and machinery, dated farmequipment and old township-re-lated items.

The museum also incorporatesa mock general store from themid-1900s, fully equipped with theequipment and tools used duringthat time period, such as type-

writers, bill separators, scales,stamps and much more.

A family in Lawrenceville whoused to own a business known asShielder Bros. several years agodonated all the items in the store,Reed said.

Teachers are the backbone of a

school. They are the people

who shape our childrens edu-

cation, who help guide them through

their formative years to bigger and

better things.

A school, or school district, is only

as good as its teachers. Shiny build-ings, the latest technology, extra-cur-

ricular offerings, a forward-thinking

administration and a supportive com-

munity would be meaningless without

good teachers.

Good teachers are the reason why

our school district is high performing,

which, in turn, is why families move

to our town.Good teachers are the reason for

success at the next level, too. New Jer-

sey universities scored high in recent

national and regional rankings, and

their teachers are a main reason.

Princeton University was named the

No. 1 university in the nation, accord-

ing to the U.S. News & World Report.In the North Regional rankings, the

College of New Jersey was No. 5,

Rider University and Rowan Universi-

ty tied for No. 18, and Rutgers Univer-

sity-Camden was No. 24.

Because of their value, teachers de-

serve to be treated well. They deserve

to be thanked. They deserve that apple

the kids bring them. They deserve tobe recognized and honored.

They deserve to be paid fairly, and

thats exactly what is happening lately.

The New Jersey School Boards As-

sociation recently reported that the de-

cline in pay raises is leveling off. For

settled contracts as of last spring, the

average pay increase for teachers was

2.25 percent. Thats slightly less than

the 2.37 percent average increase for

the 2012-2013 school year and a lot less

than the 4.5 percent average of five

years ago, but its still solid and much

higher than the historic lows of the

last few years.Its good to see the teachers get what

they deserve. They deserve raises

higher than the current 1.4 percent

cost-of-living increase. They deserve to

be taken care of, as long as its not out

of whack with the rest of the working

world.

Its unfortunate that people and

health benefits are one of the biggestcosts of running our local school dis-

trict, and therefore, are one of the

biggest drivers of increased taxes.

But thats not their fault. Teachers

cant be punished for that, and more

importantly, our children cant be pun-

ished for that. We need good teachers.

in our opinion

We need good teachersAnd to get good teachers, we have to pay for good teachers

Your thoughts

What are your thoughts on teacherraises, salaries and health benefits? Howdo you value a good teacher? Let yourvoice be heard on the topic through aletter to the editor.

Former BOE member endorsesHemant Marathe for mayor

I am writing to endorse the candidacy ofHemant Marathe for mayor of West Wind-sor.

As a member of the school board forthree years, I worked closely with Hemantand came to know him well. We becamegood friends. However, it is well known

that Hemant and I disagreed on numerousissues. In light of this, people may wonder

why I am supporting Hemants candidacy.The answer is very simple. The fact that

Hemant and I disagreed so often and werestill able to work together is exactly thereason I am supporting him. Being mayorof West Windsor is not as simple as gettingeveryone to agree with you. This rarelyhappens.

Instead, being mayor means that youmust excel at working both with peopleyou agree with and those you disagree

with; finding common ground and build-ing consensus. This is how you accomplish

great things for the community.Marathe is a true leader. He works well

with people who agree with him, as well aspeople at the opposite end of the spectrum.Hemant bends over backward to find acommon ground and reach consensus; be-lieve me, I know this first hand. Hemantwill make an excellent mayor and it is mypleasure to support him.

I am asking the voters of West Windsorto elect Hemant Marathe the next mayor.

that were donated, as well as theoverall layout of the museum.

It took about 12 or 13 years toget all of the materials for the mu-seum, he said.

The one-room schoolhousewhere the ceremony was held

wasnt originally located on thefarmstead.

It was moved there from

Clarksville Road in 1995, and isfilled with school-related memo-rabilia from the mid-1900s, donat-ed from community members.

Bathroom facilities are now

available at the farmstead.The members of the WWHS

are also working to finish the En-vironmental Education Exhibitthat will be implemented this fall.

The target audience for this ex-hibit is fourth graders who al-ready tour the Schenck Farm-stead as part of their school cur-riculum. Other visitors are antic-ipated to be Scout groups, home-schoolers, local residents andfarmstead event participants. A

portion of the exhibits will be re-lated to farming and environmen-tal aspects of the agribusinessthat have shaped much of West

Windsors recent past.This farmstead is a celebra-

tion of West Windsors heritageand farming roots, Hsueh said.With the addition of the Envi-

ronmental Education Exhibit, itis easy to envision it as a historymuseum for all to visit, learnfrom and enjoy.

This exhibit is being fundedthrough a land developers en-dowment.

It was determined that combin-ing the Schenck Farmstead andthe Environmental Exhibit into ahistoric museum for West Wind-sor would be the most efficientmeans of implementing an effec-

tive and refined exhibit.The exhibit will be located inthe small artifacts room in thenewly renovated barn. TheWWHS has already procured a1920s rural store counter display,on loan from the state, which isset up in the artifacts room, andwhich will complement the newexhibits.

The environmental displayswill incorporate interactive edu-

cational exhibits, including map-ping panels, drawing activities,natural history artifacts andtouchable elements.

West Windsors Environmental

Commission is working with con-sultants to finalize the design andconstruction.

The exhibits will communicatethat farming has shaped the WestWindsor environment, past andpresent; the township has pre-served vast areas of open space orGreenbelt, home to a wide varietyof plants and animals; and thatall residents can make a differ-ence and help sustain the envi-ronment by their actions at home

and within the community,Hsueh said.My father-in-law [builder of

the farmstead] would be sothrilled to know were doingthis, said Mary Schenck, mem-ber of the WWHS and former res-ident of the Schenck Farmhouse.The last three generations haveenjoyed every bit of thesegrounds, and Im very excited forother people to be able to as well.
