Nineteen officers graduate from police academy
BY HEATHER FIORE
The West Windsor Sun
Nineteen new officers joined
county police departments on
Aug. 2, when they formally gradu-
ated from the Mercer County Po-
lice Academy at Mercer County
Community Colleges Kelsey The-
atre. The officers, who are part of
the ninth basic class of police offi-
cers, were inducted into various
police departments throughout
Mercer County and Hunterdon
County after successfully com-
pleting their 22-week stint of
training at the MCPA, which was
created in October 2006 and is lo-
cated on the grounds of the
MCCC.
Three of the graduates will join
the West Windsor Township Po-
lice Department Carlos Abade of
Union, Edward McQuade of Jack-
son and Sean Van Ness of Hamil-
ton. An array of police officers,
police chiefs and county digni-
taries crowded the Kelsey Theatre
with around 100 family members
and friends to celebrate this
achievement.
There is no profession in our
society that is as diverse as that of
a law enforcement officer, said Al
Paglione, director of the MCPA.
The job that these officers have
embarked upon is never going to
be easy, but the rewards that they
will experience far outweigh the
difficulties of the profession.

N
ew Jersey is a gambling state.
Always has been even before
Resorts International opened
its doors as the first legal casino in At-
lantic City in 1978.
Weve had gambling politicians,
gambling speak-easy owners and gam-
bling residents from the beginning.
We embrace the culture.
Atlantic City, to us, isnt some for-
bidden place where only degenerates
and low-lifes go to satiate a fix. Its a
place where adults, young and old, go
to stay and play.
Casinos are part of our upbringing.
Whether we frequent them or not,
theyre always in our minds. They
highlight the skyline of the coast and
hog a significant portion of our news.
So its no surprise that New Jersey
wants more.
This year, gaming in the state will
enter a new dimension when a ban on
internet gambling is lifted. 888 Hold-
ings, a London-based gaming compa-
ny, will provide its technology to Cae-
sars Interactive Entertainment and
will also launch operations under its
own brand later this year.
The company is doing the same in
Nevada and Delaware, two states,
which maybe not coincidentally
have the other thing that New Jersey
wants: Sports gambling.
Just last week, Congressmen Frank
LoBiondo and Frank Pallone hit the
campaign trail for sports gambling
in Atlantic City, professing the need
for two bills they re-introduced in Feb-
ruary.
Theres a federal ban on the practice
in states not named Nevada, Delaware,
Oregon and Montana, but these legis-
lators and others in the state are
hoping to overturn that law. The Third
Circuit Court of Appeals is currently
hearing an appeal regarding it.
Legal and gaming experts say they
feel fairly certain that, at some point,
the federal law will be overturned and
sports betting will be legal in New Jer-
sey.
And we cant wait for that day. Not
because we want to place a sports bet
legally at a window in Atlantic City,
exactly, but because it will finally help
end the hypocrisy around the discus-
sion. Millions, maybe even billions, of
dollars are being bet on sports in this
country every year, most of it illegally.
Why its OK to do so in Nevada, or as
close as Delaware, and not New Jersey,
is beyond our comprehension.
If we can have casinos that are high-
ly regulated by an independent agency,
why cant we also have betting on
sports? Its a practice that makes sense
to legalize, tax and control.
Ready to gamble (some more)
Now is not the time for New Jersey to fold em in fight for more gambling

Free bicycle registration program during August
Do you bike in West Windsor? Want to
prevent your bicycle from being stolen, es-
pecially at the train station and other pub-
lic parking locations?
Want to increase the chance of recover-
ing your bike if it is stolen? Consider par-
ticipating in the free bicycle registration
program being offered by WWBPA and the
West Windsor Police Department. WWBPA
and WWPD are launching the free pro-
gram this month as a service to everyone
who bikes in West Windsor.
Its similar to the program offered at
Princeton University for riders on campus
and commuters at the Princeton Dinky
Station. How does it work? Simply down-
load a form, fill it out with your bikes de-
scription and serial number and return the
form to the police department or the
WWBPA to get your bike registration tag.
The self-adhesive aluminum tags attach
easily to your bike frame (instructions),
are very difficult to remove and make your
bicycle less desirable to thieves.
Each tag has a unique number and your
registration provides the West Windsor Po-
lice with contact information that makes it
easier to ID and return stolen bicycles to
their rightful owners. Bike ID registration
forms are available on the WWBPA web-
site, at the West Windsor Police Depart-
ment at 271 Clarksville Road, at the police
website, and at various events where
WWBPA appears, e.g. West Windsor Farm-
ers Market and other announced events.
After you fill out the registration form,
deliver it to the West Windsor Police De-
partment or WWBPA at the Farmers Mar-
ket on alternate Saturdays to pick up your
self-adhesive numbered ID tag(s) and have
the tag numbers added to the registration
form.

Students independently publish
their game Lunch War
After working together on a
project for one of their Game De-
sign classes, Mercer County Com-
munity College students Matt
Guido and John-Paul Yunque
have taken their game, Lunch
War, and independently pub-
lished it through their newly-
founded company, The Automatic
Gentlemen, LLC. Guido is a grad-
uate of Bordentown Regional
High School, and Yunque attend-
ed Princeton Regional Schools.
The two met in their Game Theo-
ry and Culture class at Mercer,
taught by Digital Media Arts in-
structor Ric Giantisco. They
teamed up together to work on the
final project for the class, and,
being the only team, decided
they should take their game the
extra mile. In the game, the player
is a lunch lady, whose job is to
keep the unhealthy fudgesicles
from an army of hungry nerds,
bullies, jocks and teachers. She
does this with an unending supply
of apples, her slushie machine,
which gives students a temporary
brain freeze, and a janitor she
can call in for back up.
Its an arcade game with a
weird twist, Yunque said. We
just thought, What if the game
player is a lunch lady throwing
food at kids? It was such a funny
idea we decided to go with it.
After the class assignment was
completed, Guido and Yunque de-
cided to continue with the project
on their own time.
Since then, the two have creat-
ed a website and continued im-
proving the game's design. After
going to the PAX East gaming con-
vention in Boston last year as at-
tendees, they went this year as
game designers.
In May, the two went to the
Two5Six gaming conference in
Brooklyn. The conference fea-
tured a number of talks on how
games intersect with other indus-
tries. Guido and Yunque were able
to catch the interest of Mike Fut-
ter, a game reviewer for Game In-
former, a magazine and website
for game enthusiasts.
Futter reviewed their game on
his site, directing readers to check
out the students Automatic Gen-
tlemen website to learn more.
For the two students, this is the
beginning of what they hope to be
a long-term endeavor. After be-
coming an official LLC last year,
they say they are in it for the long
haul. To begin marketing their
launch, in June, Yunque and
Guido had a booth at the
TooManyGames convention in
Philadelphia. For more informa-
tion visit the Automatic Gentle-
man website at http://theauto-

West Windsor Chapel to
host third Community Day
BY HEATHER FIORE
The West Windsor Sun
For the third consecutive year,
the West Windsor Chapel is host-
ing Community Day, a day-long
event that features a variety of en-
tertainment for the entire family.
Community Day, which is being
held on Saturday, Aug. 17, began
in 2011 when members wanted to
make the community aware of
the chapels existence, said Ed
MacQueen, community outreach
coordinator at the WWC.
We thought this would be a
good way to engage as large a
number of people as possible, he
said. There are a lot of new peo-
ple who move to the community
on a yearly basis, and we felt a lot
of people didnt know our chapel
was there, so we thought this
would be a good thing to engage
the community at large.
For the last two years, the event
has seen a considerable turnout,
with hundreds of people in atten-
dance.
Weve seen between 75 and 100
families over the years, Mac-
Queen said.
This fun-filled event will fea-
ture a wide range of complimen-
tary activities for children to en-
gage in, including pony rides, a
moonwalk, a petting zoo, face
painting, balloon animals, music
and much more. There will also
be food, drinks and ice cream for
purchase at a nominal charge,
and residents are welcome to
bring their own if they wish, Mac-
Queen said. The WWC obtained
mostly local businesses to assist
in the days events, including the
Hamilton-based ice cream compa-
ny Kona Ice, which was a huge hit
at last years Community Day.
We try to use local vendors
whenever possible, MacQueen
said.
Unlike previous years, the
members of the WWC are prepar-
ing the food for this years event as
a cost-effective measure.
In the past, weve used local
vendors, but we wanted to keep it
inexpensive this year so we could
provide more things for the com-
munity to do, MacQueen said.
Well have barbecue food, such as
hotdogs and hamburgers, that
sort of stuff.
The event will be held on the
chapel grounds on the large field
thats adjacent to the building
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The rain
date is the following Saturday,
Aug. 24.
The WWC is located at 401 Vil-
lage Road East in Princeton Junc-
tion, across from Dutch Neck Ele-
mentary School.

MCPA open
to both county and
non-county residents
Thomas E. Foster of Hampton,
who was chosen as the class
speaker, said there was no better
place that couldve prepared him
and his 18 fellow cadets for the
job.
This has been the most gruel-
ing and demanding physical pro-
gram that any of us have ever
been through, Foster said.
The instructors taught us les-
sons that no classroom could pro-
vide. We gained discipline, dedi-
cation, heart, and the ability to
find our limits and push past
them; but, most importantly, we
learned the precious skill of sur-
vival. The road to this day was
paved with blood, sweat, tears and
push-ups. We all stand here, side-
by-side, individuals, united as
one, he said.
Brian Hughes, Mercer County
executive, also commended the
MCPA for its outstanding efforts
training each class of cadets, and
congratulated the new class of of-
ficers on their accomplishment.
The academy would not be an
academy without the dedication
and expertise of these law en-
forcement professionals, he said.
Other speakers who addressed
the class included Stephen Notta,
agent at the Mercer County Pros-
ecutors Office; Joseph Bocchini
Jr., Mercer County prosecutor;
John A. Kemler, Mercer County
sheriff; and Guy Generals, vice
president of MCCC. The MCPA
consists of two classrooms at
MCCC specially designed for the
needs of law enforcement train-
ing. Recruits use MCCCs
grounds, its library and its gym-
nasium for training purposes. A
shooting range in Hopewell
Township operated by the prose-
cutors office is part of the acade-
my as well.
The MCPA is open to both Mer-
cer County and non-county resi-
dents.

T
rinceton students found a
million dollar consulting
start-up with a 90 percent
admit rate to top schools.
ThinkIvy is an exciting new con-
sulting company started by a group
of Princeton and Harvard under-
graduates less than six months ago.
It specializes in one thing: helping
high school students get admitted to
their top colleges.
There are several things about
ThinkIvy that make it different from the
typical college counseling company.
For one point, ThinkIvy does a lot
more. It guides applicants through
the entire application process. From
day one of freshman year, ThinkIvy
works with students to build a clear
plan on amassing the academic and
extracurricular credentials that will
distinguish them among top admis-
sion committees. This includes
informing students on grades and
test scores they need to earn, and
referring them to supplemental
tutoring if necessary. More signifi-
cantly, it means connecting students
with prestigious research intern-
ships, national math/science competi-
tions, and top summer programs
and nonprofit opportunities
that will burnish their
credentials.
Furthermore, ThinkIvy
is run entirely by Ivy
League students who
were admitted to at
least three Ivy
League or top
10 U.S. universi-
ties. The coun-
sel given at
ThinkIvy will
always be the
most competi-
tive, relevant, and up-to-date.
Counselors at other companies are
often 20-30 years removed from the
admission process.
ThinkIvys decentralized approach
of contracting Ivy
undergraduates
to handle a maximum of five stu-
dents at a time also means it devotes
substantially more time and energy
to its students. Whereas the typical
college consultant typically spends
no more than five hours editing an
application, ThinkIvy consultants
spend 100-plus hours on each stu-
dent.
A great example of the total com-
prehensiveness of ThinkIvys servic-
es can be seen in a ThinkIvy student
waitlisted by Duke University this
year.
Upon hearing of the students
waitlist status, founding partner
Mitchell Ng personally called the
student past midnight and devel-
oped a four-step action plan,
which included both personally
editing the students letter of
interest to Duke and tips for call-
ing the regional admissions offi-
cer. The plan worked, and the final
letter produced was so eloquently
cogent the student was admitted
from a waitlist of thousands three
days later.
Apart from superior services,
ThinkIvy offers lower costs and
accountability.
Unlike any college consulting com-
pany in the country, ThinkIvy offers a
100% money-back guarantee of
admission to the nations Ivy League
and elite universities for those stu-
dents purchasing its guaranteed
package. If a student is not admitted
to a list of eight top universities of
the students choosing, all services
rendered are free.
ThinkIvys placement record
allows it to make such a confident
and bold guarantee. All of ThinkIvys
students were admitted to one of

their top five choices, and 90% were
admitted to one of their top three
choices. 90% of ThinkIvys students
matriculated at an Ivy League or top
20 U.S. university.
For these impressive results,
ThinkIvy charges rates about a third
those charged by the average con-
sulting company. Costs vary for indi-
vidual cases, but the average student
in ThinkIvys program pays $3,500 for
a full package including resume build-
ing and application writing. The typi-

charges around $9,000 for consult-
ing that entails college application
editing and little else.
Ng, who was a freshman at
Princeton when he founded ThinkIvy,
and has since founded two other mul-
timillion companies in
internet social media
and medical prosthetics,
agrees.
The bottom line is
better services at lower
cost, says Ng, and the
marketplace does the
rest. That is why we
have grown so quickly
and will continue to
grow.
Ng concludes, More
than anything else, I
founded this company for the cus-
tomer, not for the company. This is
really the basis of the companies that
succeed the most.
