Teams face off to honor David Bachner
By KATIE MORGAN
The West Windsor Sun
The ice hockey teams of West
Windsor Plainsboro High Schools
North and South faced off on Jan.
12 at the Lawrenceville Prep
Schools Ice Rink to honor the
memory of David Bachner, a WW-
P North alumnus who died in
2009.
Bachner, a pitcher on Norths
baseball team who boasted 125
strikeouts in 62 innings, was
given the nickname Unhittable.
He graduated in 2009 with a full
scholarship to Seton Hall Univer-
sity, and died on Aug. 11, 2009.
That November, in 2009, the
hockey team held the first memo-
rial game against South, said
Rhonda Bachner, Davids mother.
They swore to me theyd have it
every year.
The non-conference charity
game includes the sale of Unhit-
table merchandise and a chuck-
a-puck event. The proceeds, in ad-
dition to the admission fees, are
donated to the David J. Bachner
Memorial Fund, which supports
local Little League teams, an Am-
ateur Athletic Union basketball
team in Trenton, and the Trenton
Boys and Girls Club. In addition,
each year the David J. Bachner
Scholarship is awarded to one
baseball player from each WW-P
High School and a hockey player
from North.

The West Windsor Sun
Students from West Windsor-
Plainsboro High Schools North
and South are collaborating to
build two robots that will compete
in the 2013 FIRST Robotics Com-
petition.
The team, known as the Mid-
Knight Inventors, is now in its
eighth year.
Weve grown exponentially,
said team co-captain Sarah Slem-
mon, a junior at High School
North. We started out with six
people, and now weve got 90. Its
so many people that were twin-
ning the robot building the
same robot twice so everyone has
an opportunity to get up close and
work.
The FIRST competition season
begins with six weeks of build-
ing, which started on Jan. 5 when
the MidKnight Inventors received
their challenge for the year.
This years game is very chal-
lenging, Abhishektha Boppana,
team co-captain and senior at
High School South said in a press
release. We have only six weeks
to design, build, and test a 120-
pound robot that can load and fire
Frisbees at a number of targets.
The team is building their ro-
bots in a storefront in Plainsboro
Plaza, in a space donated by Madi-
son Marquette.
Neither of the schools have
space for us, which is very sad,
said advisor Dr. Kathy Rogers.
The team started working in a
very cold garage. As the teams ex-
panded, weve had an empty
storefront donated to us. Theres a
lot of foot traffic coming by, and
its kind of that fishbowl effect.
People can see inside or they can
come through and see what were
doing and how were doing it. Its
such a good outreach opportuni-
ty.
The team must perform com-
munity and global outreach to be
considered for the Chairmans
Award, the highest honor FIRST
awards.
The Chairmans Award repre-
sents how we spread the word to
the community, said Slemmon.
We do outreach events like go to
Plainsboro Founders Day and
spread the word to parents and
children. Weve also reached out
to schools in other countries.
This year, one student traveled
to high schools in India and
Switzerland to introduce the stu-
dents to the robotics program.
One school in Switzerland is be-
ginning a robotics program, and
the MidKnight Inventors will be
mentoring the Swiss students.
Slemmon said the message the
team is trying to spread with
community outreach is an impor-
tant one.
Our country as a whole is
kind of falling under the radar
for science and technology, so our
overall message is how important
that is, she is. There are differ-
ent programs for everybody to in-
spire new minds to create some-
thing new.
Slemmon said that women in
engineering fields face adversity,
and programs like FIRST are the
solution.
As a woman its definitely
challenging to insert yourself,
she said. Because you do get
looked at as inferior. Our team
works to get past that. Im the
only girl co-captain, but they treat
me as their equal, and that means
the girls on the team can really
look to me. Most engineers are
male, but the females are increas-
ing, and I think its because of
programs like FIRST. Women can
bring something new to the table,
and I think people are slowly
starting to realize that and wel-
come them into the field.
Rogers said universities notice
FIRST students, whether they are
female or male, and the West
Windsor team tries to focus on
the female aspect of the team.
Really you can see the girls
struggle because there are so
many men there, and there are a
lot of strong personalities,
Rogers said. But with this team
and this program a lot of coopera-
tion is stressed. I think the guys
learn to respect the women more
and more. We also do outreach
programs for women that high-

light the principles of spreading

The MidKnight Inventors and
their robot will face their first
competition the week of March 1
at the Mid-Atlantic Regional
Competition in Pennsylvania.
Rogers said there would be be-
tween 20 and 40 teams competing.
Rogers said the planning and
building of the robot is run simi-
lar to a small corporation, with
small groups of students focusing
on the many aspects of the
process.
The way they run it really
opens it up to a lot of creativity.
Its really amazing, she said. In
this six weeks, they have to learn
to work together, build not just a
robot, but a team that respects
each other. These are really ex-
ceptional students.

The Hurricane Sandy New
Jersey Relief Fund is a 501(c)3
non-profit organization chaired
by First Lady Mary Pat Christie
to help NJ communities rebuild
and aide in the recovery effort of
Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane
Sandy has left a heart wrench-
ing, tragic scene. There have
been numerous fatalities report-
ed. Coastal property damage is
tremendous. Homes have been
completely demolished leaving
families in despair, worried, and
scattered. Countless numbers of
men, women, children, and ani-
mals, have been victims of the
largest natural disaster in Unit-
ed States History.
The amazing thing about New
Jersey is that as our neighbors
start to feel hopeless we join to-
gether to give them hope. Dona-
tions to the Fund will be accept-

T
he beginning of a new year is
always a good time for everyone
to look ahead, make plans and
figure out the best ways to make the
upcoming months as productive and
positive as possible.
Its no different here at The Sun. We
look forward to 2013 and continuing to
be a part of the communities that we
serve.
Our No. 1 objective is to publish
newspapers and, now, websites that are
a reflection of the values and priorities
of the communities we serve. That has
been our top priority since we began
publishing back in 2004.
That doesnt mean that everyone al-
ways will agree what they see in our
papers or on our websites. Reasonable
people can and often do disagree about
public policy, taxes and much more.
But we remain committed to produc-
ing a product that truly is part of
everyday life. We want to cover the sto-
ries that are important to you. That
might mean that we tell you that your
taxes are going up, or that theres a
fundraiser scheduled at a local school.
Not every story changes the world, but
that doesnt mean that theyre not
worth telling or sharing with the en-
tire community. That includes the
often-overlooked stories about accom-
plishments and good deeds that make
every town special.
To achieve our goal, we need your
help. If you have an event coming up,
tell us about it, and well tell everyone
else. If you know of someone in the
community who has excelled at some-
thing, or who has gone out of his or
her way to better the town, we want to
know about that, too.
We depend on you, our readers, to
shape each weeks edition of The Sun.
That will not change in 2013, or any-
time in the future.
These are your newspapers. We
want you to claim them and help us
cover the news important to you.
in our opinion
Looking forward to a big year
As 2013 moves along, we want to continue to be a part of your lives
2013 and beyond
The Sun newspapers always have
strived to reflect the values and priori-
ties of the communities they serve.
That wont change in 2013. But to
achieve that goal, we need everyones
help to get important news out to the
entire community.

We will run photos if space is available and the quality of the photo
is sufficient. Every attempt is made to provide coverage to all
organizations.
In 2013, the scholarship will
also honor a hockey player from
South.
Were pretty small, but were
able to support those organiza-
tions pretty good, said Steven
Bachner, Davids father. The
scholarships go to people who em-
ulate what David represented as
an athlete, a scholar and a hu-
manitarian. The athlete has to
have that character to get the
award, which is chosen by the
coach or the other kids on the
team.
The 2013 memorial game was
played just four days before
Davids birthday on Jan. 16.
Its a solemn day for us,
Steven said on Jan. 16. Today
would have been his 22nd birth-
day. We have a birthday cake and
reminisce. Its something we do
every year on this day.
Rhonda said the outpouring of
support for her family has contin-
ued over the years.
Its amazing, she said. Youd
think after four years it would all
wane down, but Ive still got kids
coming over today, his friends
that want to spend time with us
and celebrate his life.
According to Norths Booster
Club President Judi Strober, the
2013 memorial game raised $3,000
for the Bachner Fund.
This game just continues the
memory of a friend and brings
the community together to re-
member him, Strober said. He
was a role model not only on the
field but off the field and in the
school. Were trying to pass the
memory of who he was on to
freshmen who didnt go to school
with him and might not know
him.
Rhonda and Steve participated
in the ceremonial puck drop to
kick off the game.
We had an alumnus, one of
the hockey players that graduat-
ed, design the puck, said Strober.
We always change the design
and I know Mrs. Bachner keeps
all the pucks.
The two teams battled to a 3-3
tie, and both captains were
awarded the Bachner Cup, a tro-
phy modeled off the Stanley Cup.
Each year the winning team is en-
graved on the trophy, which is
now in the trophy case at North.
Steve said support of the Fund
and Davids memory continues in
the West Windsor community
and beyond.
The high school put up a mon-
ument this past year behind the
outfield wall, he said. It lists
Davids accomplishments and
everything he did in his life. The
people from Seton Hall still keep
us informed of what goes on.
Theyll honor David at Senior
Day this coming year, even
though he never got to play a
game.
Rhonda and Steve run a pro-
gram they call Unhittable
Across the Globe. Supporters
send photos of themselves wear-
ing Unhittable shirts in various
cities and countries.
At North, every Thursday is
Unhittable Thursday, and stu-
dents wear their shirts in sup-
port.
We try to keep his memory
alive, and Rhonda does a lot of
work to do that, Steve said. But
a lot of the time its not us, its the
people in town. People come to us,
people who loved David. He never
read his own press, never cared
what people wrote about him. He
was friendly to the least popular
kid in school. He always had a
smile on his face. He was a truly
happy, great kid. As a parent, you
couldnt ask for a better kid.
Rhonda said she thinks its im-
portant to remember not just the
person David was, but the impact
he had on the people around him.
David had friends every-
where, she said. Everyone
thinks their kids are special, but
he really was. There was just no
question about it.

Steve Bachner: We try to keep his memory alive
(NAPS) As more and more
young (and old) couples seek
novel wedding sites, theres been
a significant increase in making
wedding memories where Ameri-
cas history was made. And one
such special place is Valley Forge,
in Montgomery County, Pennsyl-
vaniaPhiladelphias biggest
and most affluent bedroom.
Here, amidst the spectacular
backdrop of 3,500-acre Valley
Forge National Historical Park,
the betrothed flock to Washington
Memorial Chapel in search of
open dates for exchanging vows.
One of southeast Pennsylvanias
most popular and majestic wed-
ding sites, the chapels rich deco-
rative elements commemorate
George Washingtons life and the
nations earliest history. Its also
known for its exquisite statuary,
wood carvings and soaring
stained glass windows.
Nearby and nestled among 175
acres of meadows and hills, the
John James Audubon Center at
Mill Grove offers a setting for
magnificent weddings and recep-
tions in any season. Flanked by
50-year-old sugar maples, the
quarter-mile driveway to the cen-
ter offers early hints of the splen-
dor of this 175-acre estate, looking
still very much how Audubon
found it in 1803.
His historic home, set along the
Perkiomen Creek in Audubon,
Pa., is a haven for birds and
wildlifeand photographers. The
wild pear orchard, 19th century
fieldstone barn and winding
creek set a stage for unforgettable
wedding ceremonies in a charm-
ing, new outdoor pavilion.
Green Lane Park, in the north-
west corner of Montgomery
County, comes by its name hon-
estly. The beautiful view across
its lake, from a quaint pavilion,
creates an idyllic canvas for sea-
sonal colors to complement any
nuptials. Dont forget the wide-
angle lens.
Historic Graeme Park trans-
ports visitors and wedding par-
ties back in timeto the 18th cen-
tury. Its Keith Houseonce the
residence of Colonial Pennsylva-
nia governor Sir William Keith
was built in 1722 and has re-
mained virtually intact since the
latter part of that century. Its
sweeping fields, pond and wet-
lands guarantee four-season-pho-
togenic wedding albums.

The first home in America to artist/naturalist John James Audubon has
served as a stately backdrop for many elegant receptions.
Make wedding memories where history was made
(NAPS) More and more
brides and grooms are discover-
ing a delightful new twist on an
old wedding tradition.
Bridal registries have long
been the way for engaged couples
to identify exactly what they
need and want to start their
lives together. Traditionally,
young couples who were estab-
lishing a home together created a
registry chock-full of household
items. Nowadays, however, many
couples prefer a new registry
trend that can help turn the hon-
eymoon they envision into a well-
planned reality.
The increasingly popular hon-
eymoon registry lets friends and
family help the bride and groom
afford a trip to Fiji, the Caribbean
or anywhere in the world they
dream of going. Instead of pur-
chasing an impersonal set of flat-
ware or risking a duplicate gift,
wedding guests can now con-
tribute to unique experiences
that can help make a couples
honeymoon all the more memo-
rable, such as sponsoring a cou-
ples massage, a sunset cruise, a
snorkeling excursion or a helicop-
ter tour.
As one bride, Lisa Dexter John-
son, put it: Our honeymoon in
Hawaii was a once-in-a-lifetime
trip that we will always cherish.
Our friends and family loved the
idea of being able to help us cre-
ate memories that will remind us
of them.
The only major honeymoon
registry service that also offers
full-service, complimentary trav-
el planning is 1-800-Registry. Its a
free online registry that makes it
simple to select unforgettable
honeymoon gifts. The company
will even contribute $200 to get
the honeymoon fund started.
In addition, couples can make
the most of their honeymoon trip
with some proper planning:
Start early. The sooner you
decide where youre going and
where youre staying, the more
likely you are to get what you
want at a good price. It will also
give you time to arrange for pass-
ports and visasthis may take
time, especially if a name change
is involved.
Go later. Many couples
take the time right after their
wedding to settle in and unwind
and plan to take their honeymoon
trip when they have more time or
more money or when the destina-
tion is less expensive or less
crowded.
Get to know the destina-
tion. Check out the weather, the
amenities and the costs. You can
consult with a 1-800-Registry Hon-
eymoon Specialist for all the des-
tination details.

registry, view a registry or learn

Honeymoon registry a popular option for brides and grooms
(NAPSA) More and more,
couples now vow to start their
lives together by making a differ-
ence in the lives of others.
Saying I do to a wedding that
benefits a charity is easier than
you might imagine and espe-
cially timely, as many charities
need extra help during a time of
economic downturn.
By the time many couples get
married, they often dont need an
extra toaster but would really ap-
preciate a donation to the charity
of their choice.
Giving is a great way to start
your life together and coming up
with a list can provoke some
meaningful conversations about
values.
Here are five heartwarming
ideas you may want to consider:
1. Feed the hungry. If you
have unopened food and bever-
ages left over from your wedding,
donate them to a nearby food
bank or soup kitchen.
2. Share your flowers. After
the wedding, drop off your flow-
ers at a hospital or nursing home
so others can enjoy them.
3. Buy wedding essentials
from companies that donate to
charities you support.
4. Donate your bridesmaid
dresses to an organization that
supplies prom dresses to girls
who cant afford them.
5. Register your wedding.
Ask your guests to donate to a
charity they identify with you.
You can even suggest a Web site
through which they can donate
a sort of customizable wedding
charity registry.
One site that offers a wedding
registry service features charity
gift cards guests can order. The
site lets brides host a personal-
ized Web page there are a num-
ber of themes from which to
choose which can be used to
send information, e-mail invita-
tions and updates. The charity
gift cards also make great wed-
ding favors.
